Key Business VUL II — Prospectus

A Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy

offered by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

in connection with its COLI VUL-2 Series Account

This prospectus describes Key Business VUL II, a flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy (the “Policy”) offered by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“Great-West,” “Company, “ “we,” “our” or “us”). The Policy is designed for use by corporations and employers to provide life insurance coverage in connection with, among other things, deferred compensation plans and employer-financed insurance purchase arrangements. The Policy is designed to meet the definition of a “life insurance contract” for federal income tax purposes.

The Policy allows “you,” the Owner, within certain limits to:

• choose the type and amount of insurance coverage you need and increase or decrease that coverage as your insurance needs change;

• choose the amount and timing of Premium payments, within certain limits;

• allocate Premium payments among the available investment options and Transfer Account Value among available investment options as your investment objectives change; and

• access your Account Value through loans and partial withdrawals or total surrenders.

This prospectus contains important information you should understand before purchasing a Policy, including a description of the material rights and obligations under the Policy. We use certain special terms that are defined in Appendix A. Your Policy and any endorsements are the formal contractual agreement between you and the Company. It is important that you read the Policy and endorsements which reflect other variations. You should keep this prospectus on file for future reference.

The Policy that we are currently issuing became available on May 1, 2011. Policies issued before May 1, 2011 are described in a separate prospectus.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is May 1, 2012

Summary of the Policy and its Benefits

This is a summary of some of the most important features of your Policy. The Policy is more fully described in the remainder of this prospectus. Please read this prospectus carefully. Unless otherwise indicated, the description of the Policy in this prospectus assumes that the Policy is in force, there is no Policy Debt and current federal tax laws apply.

1.  Corporate-Owned Variable Life Insurance.  We will issue Policies to corporations and employers and to certain individuals to provide life insurance coverage in connection with, among other things, deferred compensation plans and employer-financed insurance purchase arrangements. We will issue Policies on the lives of prospective Insureds who meet our underwriting standards.

2.  The Series Account.  We have established a separate account to fund the variable benefits under the Policy. The assets of the Series Account are insulated from the claims of our general creditors.

3.  Premium Payments.  You must pay us an Initial Premium to put your Policy in force. The minimum Initial Premium will vary based on various factors, including the age of the Insured and the death benefits option you select, but may not be less than $100.00. Thereafter, you choose the amount and timing of Premium payments, within certain limits.

4.  Fixed Account.  You may allocate some or all of your net payments and/or make Transfers from the Sub-Accounts to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is part of our General Account. We own the assets in the General Account, and we use these assets to support our insurance and annuity obligations other than those funded by our separate accounts. These Fixed Account assets are subject to our general liabilities from business operations. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over investment of the Fixed Account assets. We bear the full investment risk for all amounts allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account.

We guarantee that the amounts allocated to the Fixed Account will be credited interest at a net effective annual interest rate of at least the minimum interest rate indicated in your Policy. At our discretion, we will review the interest rate at least once a year. We may reset the interest rate monthly. The Fixed Account is not affected by the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts. Policy value in the Fixed Account will be reduced by the Policy fees and charges we deduct and the effects of any Policy transactions (loans, withdrawals, and Transfers) on your Policy value in the Fixed Account.

5.  Free Look Period.  You may return your Policy to us for any reason within ten days of receiving it, or such longer period as required by applicable state law (in some states, up to 30 days for replacement policies), and depending on state law, receive (i) the greater of your Premiums, less any withdrawals, or your Account Value, or (ii) your Account Value plus the return of any expense charges deducted. The money you contribute to the Policy will be invested at your direction, except that in some states during your free look period your Premiums will be allocated to the Maxim Money Market Division.

6.  Investment Options and Funds.  You may allocate your net Premium payments among the available investment divisions (“Divisions”) or the Fixed Account.

Each Division invests exclusively in shares of a single Fund. Each Fund has its own distinct investment objective and policies, which are described in the accompanying prospectuses for the Funds.

You may Transfer amounts from one Division to another or the Fixed Account, subject to the restrictions described herein.

7.  Death Benefit.  You may choose from among two death benefit options –

1. a fixed benefit equal to the Total Face Amount of your Policy; or

2. a variable benefit equal to the sum of the Total Face Amount and your Account Value.

For each option, the death benefit may be greater if necessary to satisfy federal tax law requirements.

5

We will deduct any outstanding Policy Debt and unpaid Policy charges before we pay a death benefit. In addition, prior partial withdrawals may reduce the Death Benefit Proceeds under the first option.

At any time, you may increase or decrease the Total Face Amount, subject to our approval and other requirements set forth in the Policy.

After the first Policy Year, you may change your death benefit option once each Policy Year.

8.  Account Value.  Your Account Value will reflect –

1. the Premiums you pay;

2. the investment performance of the Divisions you select;

3. the value of the Fixed Account.

4. any Policy loans or partial withdrawals;

5. your Loan Account balance; and

6. the charges we deduct under the Policy.

9.  Accessing Your Account Value.  You may borrow from us using your Account Value as collateral. Loans may be treated as taxable income if your Policy is a “modified endowment contract” (“MEC”) for federal income tax purposes and you have had positive net investment performance.

There are no surrender charges associated with your Policy. You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender Value plus return of expense charge, if applicable. The return of expense charge is a percentage of your Account Value and is described in greater detail on page xx.

You may withdraw a portion of your Account Value at any time while your Policy is in force.

A withdrawal may reduce your death benefit.

We will charge an administrative fee not greater than $25 per withdrawal on partial withdrawals after the first in a Policy Year.

10.  Supplemental Benefits.  The following optional riders are available –

1. term life insurance; and

2. change of Insured.

We will deduct the cost, if any, of the rider(s) from your Account Value on a monthly basis.

11.  Paid-Up Life Insurance.  If the Insured reaches Attained Age 121 and your Policy is in force, the Account Value, less Policy Debt, will be applied as a single Premium to purchase "paid-up" insurance. Your Account Value will remain in the Series Account allocated to the Divisions or the Fixed Account in accordance with your instructions. The death benefit under this paid-up insurance will be fixed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) for Insureds age 99. As your Account Value changes based on the investment experience of the Divisions, the death benefit will increase or decrease accordingly.

12.  Reinstatement.  If your Policy terminates due to insufficient value, we will reinstate it within three years at your Request, subject to certain conditions.

13.  Surrenders.  You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Insured is living. If you do, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the Policy will terminate.

If you withdraw part of the Cash Surrender Value, your Policy’s death benefit may be reduced and you may incur taxes and tax penalties.

6

14.  Partial Withdrawal.  You may Request a partial withdrawal of Account Value at any time while the Policy is in force. The amount of any partial withdrawal must be at least $500 and may not exceed 90% of your Account Value less the value of the Loan Account.

The Death Benefit Proceeds and your Account Value will be reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawals.

15.  Policy Loans.  You may borrow from us using your Account Value as collateral. You may Request a Policy loan of up to 90% of your Account Value, decreased by the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the Policy loan is made.

The minimum Policy loan amount is $500.

16.  Changes in Total Face Amount.  You may increase or decrease the Total Face Amount of your Policy at any time. Each increase or decrease in the Total Face Amount must be at least $25,000. Minimum face amount is $100,000.

17.  Target Premium.  Your target Premium is actuarially determined and will depend on the initial Total Face Amount of your Policy, your Issue Age, your sex (except in unisex states), and rating class (if any) and equals the maximum Premium payable such that the Policy remains compliant with the Code. The target Premium is used to determine your expense charged applied to the Premium and the sales compensation we pay. Payment of the target premium does not guarantee that your Policy will not lapse, and you may need to pay additional Premiums to keep your Policy in force. Each increase to the Total Face Amount is considered to be a new segment to the Policy. Each segment will have a separate target Premium associated with it.

18.  State Variations.  Policies issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this prospectus because of state law variations. These differences include, among other things, free look rights, issue age limitations, and the general availability of riders. This prospectus describes the material rights and obligations of an Owner, and the maximum fees and charges for all Policy features and benefits are set forth in the fee table of this prospectus. See your policy for specific variations because any such state variations will be included in your policy or in riders or endorsements attached to your policy. See your agent or contact us for specific information that is applicable to your state.

Policy Risks

1.  Account Value Not Guaranteed.  Your Account Value is not guaranteed. Your Account Value fluctuates based on the performance of the investment options you select. The investment options you select may not perform to your expectations. Your Account Value may also be affected by charges under your Policy.

2.  Not Suitable as Short-Term Savings Vehicle.  The Policy is designed for long-term financial planning. Accordingly, you should not purchase the Policy if you need access to the Account Value within a short time. Before purchasing a Policy, consider whether the long-term nature of the Policy is consistent with the purposes for which it is being considered.

3.  Risk of Contract Lapse.  Your Policy may terminate if your Account Value at the beginning of any Policy Month is insufficient to pay the Policy’s monthly charges.

If your Policy would terminate due to insufficient value, we will send you notice and allow you a 61-day grace period.

If, within the grace period, you do not make a Premium payment sufficient to cover all accrued and unpaid charges and deductions, your Policy will terminate at the end of the grace period without further notice.

4.  Limitations on Withdrawals.  Partial withdrawals of Account Value are permitted at any time the Policy is in force. As noted above, the amount of any partial withdrawal must be at least $500 and may not exceed 90% of your Account Value less the value of the Loan Account. A maximum administrative fee of $25 will be deducted from your Account Value for all partial withdrawals after the first made in the same Policy Year. Please note that withdrawals reduce your Account Value and your Death Benefit Proceeds. In addition, withdrawals may have tax consequences.

7

5. Limitations on Transfers. Subject to our rules as they may exist from time to time, you may at any time Transfer to another Division all or a portion of the Account Value allocated to a Division. In addition, we do not intend to enforce the restrictions on Transfers set forth in your Policy except in cases of identified market timing unless the Sub-Account has additional restrictions that are noted in the respective Fund’s prospectus. See “Market Timing & Excessive Trading” on page xx. Certain limitations apply to Transfers into and out of the Fixed Account. See “Fixed Account Transfers” on page xx.

6. Limitations or Charges on Surrender of Policy. You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Insured is living. Upon surrender of your Policy, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the Policy will terminate.

There are no surrender charges associated with your Policy. However, the surrender of your Policy may have tax consequences.

7. Risks of Taking a Policy Loan. As noted above, you may Request a Policy loan of up to 90% of your Account Value, decreased by the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the Policy loan is made. The minimum Policy loan amount is $500.

Taking a Policy loan may increase the risk that your Policy will lapse, will reduce your Account Value, and may reduce the death benefit. In addition, if your Policy is a MEC for tax purposes, taking a Policy loan may have tax consequences.

8. Adverse Tax Consequences. Your Policy is structured to meet the definition of a life insurance contract under the Code. Current federal tax law generally excludes all death benefits from the gross income of the Beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Generally, you are not taxed on any increase in the Account Value until it is withdrawn, but are taxed on surrender proceeds and the proceeds of any partial withdrawals if those amounts, when added to all previous non-taxable distributions, exceed the total Premium paid. Amounts received upon surrender or withdrawals in excess of Premiums are treated as ordinary income.

Under certain circumstances, a Policy may become a MEC for federal tax purposes. This may occur if you reduce the Total Face Amount of your Policy or pay excessive Premiums. We will monitor your Premium payments and other Policy transactions and notify you if a payment or other transaction might cause your Policy to become a MEC without your written permission. We will not invest any Premium or portion of a Premium that would cause your Policy to become a MEC, but instead will promptly refund the money to you. If you elect to have a MEC contract, you can return the money to us with a signed form of acceptance.

Under current tax law, Death Benefit Proceeds under MECs generally are excluded from the gross income of the Beneficiary. Withdrawals and Policy loans, however, are treated first as income, to the extent of any gain, and then as a return of Premium. The income portion of the distribution is includable in your taxable income and taxed at ordinary income tax rates. A 10% penalty tax is also generally imposed on the taxable portion of any amount received before age 59 ¹/2.

Fund Risks

The Policy currently offers several variable investment options, each of which is a Division of the Series Account. Each Division uses its assets to purchase, at their net asset value, shares of a Fund. The Divisions are referred to as “variable” because their investment experience depends upon the investment experience of the Funds in which they invest.

We do not guarantee that the Funds will meet their investment objectives. Your Account Value may increase or decrease in value depending on the investment performance of the Funds. You bear the risk that those Funds may not meet their investment objectives. A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each Fund may be found in each Fund’s prospectus, including detailed information concerning investment objectives, strategies, and their investment risk. You may obtain a copy of the Fund prospectuses without charge by contacting us at 888-353-2654. If you received a summary prospectus for a Fund, please follow the directions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the Fund's prospectus.

Description of Depositor, Registrant, and Funds

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

Great-West is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Colorado. Our offices are located at 8515 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111.

We are authorized to do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. We issue individual and group life insurance policies and annuity contracts and accident and health insurance policies.

Great-West is a wholly owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial, Inc., a Delaware holding company. GWL&A Financial, Inc. is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc., a Canadian holding company. Great-West Lifeco Inc. is a subsidiary of Power Financial Corporation, a Canadian holding company with substantial interests in the financial services industry. Power Financial Corporation is a subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada, a Canadian holding and management company. Mr. Paul Desmarais, through a group of private holding companies that he controls, has voting control of Power Corporation of Canada.

The Series Account

The Series Account is a segregated asset account of Great-West. We use the Series Account to fund benefits payable under the Policy. The Series Account may also be used to fund benefits payable under other life insurance policies issued by us.

We own the assets of the Series Account, which we hold separate and apart from our General Account assets. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to the Series Account are credited to or charged against the Series Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses. The income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, the Series Account reflect the Series Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of Great-West’s other assets. The assets of the Series Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of Great-West other than those arising from the Policies (and any other life insurance policies issued by us and funded by the Series Account).

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including Series Account assets that are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits, which reduce our overall corporate income tax liability may include dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits which can be material. We do not pass these benefits through to the Series Account or our other separate accounts, principally because: (i) the great bulk of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends that the Series Account receives; and (ii) under applicable income tax law, Owners are not the owners of the assets generating the benefits.

Great-West is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Owners under the Policies (and any other life insurance policies issued by us and funded by the Series Account).

We will at all times maintain assets in the Series Account with a total market value at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits under all policies participating in the Series Account.

The Series Account is divided into Divisions. Each Division invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding Fund. We may in the future add new or delete existing Divisions. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to each Division are credited to or charged against that Division without regard to the other income, gains or losses of the other Divisions.

All amounts allocated to a Division will be used to purchase shares of the corresponding Fund. The Divisions will at all times be fully invested in Fund shares. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds.

The Investment Options and Funds

The Policy offers a number of Divisions or Sub-Accounts. Each Division invests in a single Fund. Each Fund is a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), or a separate

12

series of shares of such a mutual fund. More comprehensive information, including a discussion of potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Funds. The fund prospectuses should be read in connection with this prospectus. YOU MAY OBTAIN A PROSPECTUS AND, IF AVAILABLE, A FUND SUMMARY, CONTAINING COMPLETE INFORMATION ON EACH FUND, WITHOUT CHARGE, UPON REQUEST BY CONTACTING US AT 888-353-2654. If you received a summary prospectus for a Fund, please follow the directions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the Fund's prospectus.

Each Fund holds its assets separate from the assets of the other Funds, and each Fund has its own distinct investment objective and policies. Each Fund operates as a separate investment fund, and the income, gains and losses of one Fund generally have no effect on the investment performance of any other Fund.

The Funds are NOT available to the general public directly. The Funds are available as investment options in variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies or, in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.

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

Payments We Receive.  Some of the Funds’ investment advisers or affiliates may compensate us for providing the administrative, recordkeeping and reporting services they would normally be required to provide for individual shareholders or cost savings experienced by the investment advisers or affiliates of the Funds. Such compensation is typically a percentage of Series Account assets invested in the relevant Fund and generally may range up to 0.35% of net assets. GWFS Equities, Inc. (“GWFS”), a broker-dealer and subsidiary of Great-West and the principal underwriter and distributor of the Policy, may also receive Rule 12b-1 fees (ranging up to 0.25%) directly from certain Funds for providing distribution related services related to shares of Funds offered in connection with a Rule 12b-1 plan. If GWFS receives 12b-1 fees, combined compensation for administrative and distribution related services generally ranges up to 0.60% annually of Series Account assets invested in a Fund.

If you purchased the Policy through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Funds and their related companies may pay the intermediary for services provided with regard to the sale of Fund shares to the Divisions under the Policy. The amount and/or structure of the compensation can possibly create conflict of interest as it may influence the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to present this Policy (and certain Divisions under the Policy) over other investment alternatives. The variations in compensation, however, may also reflect differences in sales effort or ongoing customer services expected of the broker-dealer or other intermediary or your salesperson. You may ask your salesperson about variations and how he or she and his or her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Policy or visit your financial intermediary's Web site for more information.

Payments We Make.  In addition to the direct cash compensation described above for sales of the Policies, Great-West and/or its affiliates may also pay GWFS agents additional cash and non-cash incentives to promote the sale of the Policies and other products distributed by GWFS, including Portfolios of Maxim Series Fund, which are available Funds under the Policies. Great-West and/or its affiliates may sponsor various contests and promotions subject to applicable FINRA regulations in which GWFS agents may receive prizes such as travel awards, merchandise and cash. Subject to applicable FINRA regulations, Great-West and/or its affiliates may also pay for travel expenses, meals, lodging and entertainment of salespersons in connection with educational and sales promotional programs and sponsor speakers, educational seminars and charitable events.

Cash incentive payments may vary depending on the arrangement in place at any particular time. Cash incentives payable to GWFS agents may be based on certain performance measurements, including a percentage of the net amount invested in certain Funds available under the Policy. These additional payments could be viewed as creating conflicts of interest. In some cases, the payment of incentive-based compensation may create a financial incentive for a GWFS agent to recommend or sell the Policy instead of other products or recommend certain Funds under the Policy over other Funds, which may not necessarily be to your benefit.

You should contact your representative for further information on the availability of the Divisions.

Each Fund is subject to certain investment restrictions and policies that may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders of the Fund. See the Fund prospectuses for further information.

We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gain distributions from the Funds in shares of the distributing Fund at their net asset value. The income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on the assets of each Division are separate and are credited to, or charged against, the particular Division without regard to income, gains or losses from any other Division or from any other part of our business. We will use amounts you allocate to a Division to purchase shares in the corresponding Fund and will redeem shares in the Funds to meet Policy obligations or make adjustments in reserves. The Funds are required to redeem their shares at net asset value and to make payment within seven days.

The Funds may also be available to separate accounts offering variable annuity, variable life products and qualified plans of other affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies, as well as our other separate accounts. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to this, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of the Series Account and one or more of the other separate accounts participating in the Funds. A conflict may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, differences in the voting instructions of Owners and those of other companies, or some other reason. In the event of conflict, we will take any steps necessary to protect Owners, including withdrawal of the Series Account from participation in the Funds that are involved in the conflict or substitution of shares of other Funds.

Voting.  We are the legal owner of all shares of the Funds held in the Divisions of the Series Account. In general, you do not have a direct right to vote the Fund shares held in the Divisions of the Series Account. However, under current law, you are entitled to give us instructions on how to vote the shares held in the Divisions. At regular and special shareholder meetings, we will vote the shares held in the Divisions in accordance with those instructions received from Owners who have an interest in the respective Divisions.

We will vote shares held in each Division for which no timely instructions from Owners are received, together with shares not attributable to a Policy, in the same proportion as those shares in that Division for which instructions are received.

The number of shares in each Division for which instructions may be given by an Owner is determined by dividing the portion of the Account Value derived from participation in that Division, if any, by the value of one share of the corresponding Fund. We will determine the number as of the record date chosen by the Fund. Fractional votes are counted. Voting instructions will be solicited in writing at least 14 days prior to the shareholders' meeting.

19

We may, if required by state insurance regulators, disregard voting instructions if those instructions would require shares to be voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment policies of one or more of the Funds, or to approve or disapprove an investment management contract. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions that would require changes in the investment policies or investment adviser, provided that we reasonably disapprove of those changes in accordance with applicable federal regulations. If we disregard voting instructions, we will advise you of that action and our reasons for it in our next communication to Owners.

This description reflects our current view of applicable federal securities law. Should the applicable federal securities laws change so as to permit us to vote shares held in the Series Account in our own right, we may elect to do so.

Fixed Account

The Fixed Account is part of our General Account. We have absolute ownership of the assets in the Fixed Account. Except as limited by law, we have sole control over the investment of the General Account assets. You do not share in the investment experience of the General Account, but are allowed to allocate and transfer Account Value into the Fixed Account. We assume the risk of investment gain or loss on this amount. All assets in the General Account are subject to our general liabilities from business operations. The Fixed Account does not participate in the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts.

The Fixed Account is not registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the Fixed Account nor the General Account have been registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. As a result, neither the Fixed Account nor the General Account are generally subject to regulation under either Act. However, certain disclosures may be subject to generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws regarding the accuracy of statements made in registration statements.

The Fixed Account offers a guarantee of principal, after deductions for fees and expenses. We also guarantee that amounts you allocated to the Fixed Account will earn interest at a rate of at least the minimum guaranteed interest rate indicated in your Policy. We do not rely on predetermined formulas to set Fixed Account interest rates. We will review the interest rate at least once a year, but at the Company’s discretion we may reset the interest rate monthly.

The Fixed Account may not be available in all states.

Employer-Financed Insurance Purchase Arrangements--Tax and Other Legal Issues

In addition to corporations and other employers, the Policy is also available for purchase by individuals whose employers will pay some or all of the Premiums due under the Policy pursuant to an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement. In such cases, references in this prospectus to the “Owner” of the Policy will refer to the individual and, depending on the context, references to the “payment of premiums” will refer to payments to Great-West under the Policy by the employer and/or by the employee.

Employers and employees contemplating the purchase of a Policy as a part of an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement should consult qualified legal and tax counsel with regard to the issues presented by such a transaction. For this purpose, an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement is a plan or arrangement which contemplates that an employer will pay one or more Premiums for the purchase of a Policy that will be owned, subject to certain restrictions, by an employee or by a person or entity designated by the employee.

The general considerations applicable to such a purchase include the following:

1. Payments by the employer under an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement will only be deductible for income tax purposes when the payments are taxable to the employee with respect to whom they are made.

2. Imposition of certain types of restrictions, specifically a substantial risk of forfeiture, on the purchased Policy may defer both the deductibility of the payments to the employer and their taxability to the employee.

20

3. The payment of some or all of the Premiums by the employer may create an ERISA welfare benefit plan which is subject to the reporting, disclosure, fiduciary and enforcement provisions of ERISA.

4. The payment of some or all of the Premiums by the employer will not prevent the Owner from being treated as the owner of the Policy for federal income tax purposes.

5. Under some circumstances, the failure of the employer to make one or more of the planned Premiums under the Policy may cause a lapse of the Policy.

6. An employee considering whether to participate in an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement should consider whether the financial and tax benefits of the ownership of the Policy outweigh the costs, such as sales loads and cost of insurance charges that will be incurred as a result of the purchase and ownership of the Policy.

7. An employee considering whether to participate in an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement should consider whether the designation of another person or entity as the owner of the Policy will have adverse consequences under applicable gift, estate, or inheritance tax laws.

8. An employee considering whether to participate in an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement should consider whether the financial performance of the Policy will support any planned withdrawals or borrowings under the Policy.

9. In an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement, the procedures described below on page xx are designed to prevent or minimize market timing and excessive trading by Owners may, in certain circumstances, require us to perform standardized trade monitoring; in other circumstances such monitoring will be performed by the Fund. Certain Funds require us to provide reports of the Owner’s trading activity, if prohibited trading, as defined by the Fund, is suspected. The determination of whether there is prohibited trading based on the Funds’ definition of prohibited trading may be made by us or by the Fund. The Fund determines the restrictions imposed, which could be one of the four restrictions described on page xx or by restricting the Owner from making Transfers into the identified Fund for the period of time specified by the Fund.

Charges and Deductions

Expense Charge Applied to Premium. We will deduct a maximum charge of 10% from each Premium payment, which is broken down as follows. A maximum of 6.5% will be deducted as sales load to compensate us in part for sales and promotional expenses in connection with selling the Policies, such as commissions, the cost of preparing sales literature, other promotional activities and other direct and indirect expenses. A maximum of 3.5% of Premium will be used to cover Premium taxes and certain federal income tax obligations resulting from the receipt of Premiums. All states and some cities and municipalities impose taxes on Premiums paid for life insurance, which generally range from 2% to 4% of Premium but may exceed 4% in some states. The amount of your state's Premium tax may be higher or lower than the amount attributable to Premium taxes that we deduct from your Premium payments.

The current expense charge applied to Premium for sales load is 2.5% of Premium up to target and 1.0% of Premium in excess of target for Policy Years 1 through 10. Your target Premium will depend on the initial Total Face Amount of your Policy, your Issue Age, your sex (except in unisex states), and rating class (if any) which equals the maximum Premium payable under the seven-pay test such that the Policy remains compliant with 7702A of the Code. Thereafter, there is no charge for sales load. The current expense charge applied to Premium to cover our Premium taxes and the federal tax obligation described above is 3.5% in all Policy Years.

Where permitted by applicable state insurance law and for corporate owned policies only, if your Policy is surrendered for the Surrender Benefit (Account Value less any outstanding Policy loans and less accrued loan interest) within the first six Policy Years, we will return a percentage of the expense charge. The return of expense charge will be a percentage of your Account Value on the date the Request for surrender was received by us at our Corporate Headquarters. This amount will be in addition to the Surrender Benefit.

The return of expense charge is based on the following:

21

Policy Year	Percentage of Account     Value Returned
Year 1	7%
Year 2	6%
Year 3	5%
Year 4	4%
Year 5	3%
Year 6	2%
Year 7	1%
Year 8	0%

As described under the heading “Term Life Insurance Rider” on page xx, we may offer a term life insurance rider that may have the effect of reducing the sales charge you pay on purchasing an equivalent amount of insurance. We offer this rider in circumstances that result in the savings of sales and distribution expenses and administrative costs. To qualify, a corporation, employer, or other purchaser must satisfy certain criteria such as, for example, the number of Policies it expects to purchase and the expected Total Face Amount under all such Policies. Generally, the sales contacts and effort and administrative costs per Policy depend on factors such as the number of Policies purchased by a single Owner, the purpose for which the Policies are purchased, and the characteristics of the proposed Insureds. The amount of reduction and the criteria for qualification are related to the sales effort and administrative costs resulting from sales to a qualifying Owner. Great-West from time to time may modify on a uniform basis both the amounts of reductions and the criteria for qualification. Reductions in these charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected Owners funded by the Series Account.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  This charge is for the mortality and expense risks we assume with respect to the Policy. It is based on an annual rate that we apply against each Division of the Series Account on a daily basis. We convert the mortality and expense risk charge into a daily rate by dividing the annual rate by 365. The mortality and expense risk charge will be determined by us from time to time based on our expectations of future interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses and taxes, but will not exceed 0.90% annually. Currently, the charge is 0.50% for Policy Years 1 through 20 and 0.10% thereafter.

The mortality risk we assume is that the group of lives insured under the Policies may, on average, live for shorter periods of time than we estimated. The expense risk we assume is that the costs of issuing and administering Policies may be more than we estimated.

Monthly Deduction.  We make a monthly deduction from your Account Value on the Policy Date and the first day of each Policy Month. This monthly deduction will be charged proportionally to the amounts in the Divisions.

The monthly deduction equals the sum of (1), (2), (3) and (4) where:

(1) is the cost of insurance charge (the monthly risk charge) equal to the current monthly risk rate (described below) multiplied by the net amount at risk divided by 1,000;

(2) is the service charge;

(3) is the monthly cost of any additional benefits provided by riders which are a part of your Policy; and

(4) is any extra risk charge if the Insured is in a rated class as specified in your Policy.

The net amount at risk equals:

• the death benefit divided by 1.00327374; less

• your Account Value on the first day of a Policy Month prior to assessing the monthly deduction.

If there are increases in the Total Face Amount other than increases caused by changes in the death benefit option, the monthly deduction described above is determined separately for the initial Total Face Amount and each increase in the Total Face Amount. In calculating the net amount at risk, your Account Value will first be allocated to the most recent increase in the death benefit and then to each increase in the Total Face Amount in the reverse order in which the increases were made.

Monthly Risk Rates.  The monthly risk rate is used to determine the cost of insurance charge (monthly risk charge) for providing insurance coverage under the Policy. The monthly risk rate is applied to the amount at risk. The

22

monthly risk rates (except for any such rate applicable to an increase in the Total Face Amount) are based on the length of time your Policy has been in force and the Insured's sex (in the case of non-unisex Policies) and Issue Age. If the Insured is in a rated class as specified in your Policy, we will deduct an extra risk charge that reflects that class rating. The monthly risk rates applicable to each increase in the Total Face Amount are based on the length of time the increase has been in force and the Insured's sex (in the case of non-unisex Policies), Issue Age, and class rating, if any. The monthly risk rates will be determined by us from time to time based on our expectations of future experience with respect to mortality, investment earnings, persistency, capital and reserve requirements, interest rates and expenses (including taxes), but will not exceed the guaranteed maximum monthly risk rates based on the 2001 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary, Age Nearest Birthday, Male/Female, Smoker/Non-Smoker Ultimate Mortality Table (“2001 CSO”). Currently, the guaranteed minimum monthly risk charge is $0.02 per $1000 and the guaranteed maximum is $83.33 per $1000. If your Policy is issued in Montana, unisex rates are charged and these rates will never exceed the male Smoker Ultimate Mortality Table.

The guaranteed maximum monthly risk rates reflect any class rating applicable to the Policy. We have filed a detailed statement of our methods for computing Account Values with the insurance department in each jurisdiction where the Policy was delivered. These values are equal to or exceed the minimum required by law.

The monthly risk rate is greater on policies that require less underwriting to be performed regardless of the health of the individual. Monthly risk rate charges will be greatest on guaranteed issue policies, followed by simplified issue policies, then fully underwritten policies.

Service Charge.  We will deduct a maximum of $15 from your Account Value on the first day of each Policy Month to cover our administrative costs, such as salaries, postage, telephone, office equipment and periodic reports. This charge may be increased or decreased by us from time to time based on our expectations of future expenses, but will never exceed $15 per Policy Month. The service charge will be deducted proportionally from the Divisions. The current service charge is $10 per Policy Month for Policy Years 1 through 3 and $7.50 per Policy Month thereafter.

Transfer Fee.  A maximum administrative charge of $10 per Transfer of Account Value from one Division to other Divisions will be deducted from your Account Value for all Transfers in excess of 12 made in the same Policy Year. The allocation of your Initial Premium from the Maxim Money Market Division to your selected Divisions will not count toward the 12 free Transfers. Similarly, Transfers made under dollar cost averaging and periodic rebalancing under the rebalancer option are not subject to the fee and do not count as Transfers for this purpose (except a one-time rebalancing under the rebalancer option will count as one Transfer). All Transfers Requested on the same Business Day will be aggregated and counted as one Transfer. The current charge is $10 per Transfer.

Partial Withdrawal Fee.  A maximum administrative fee of $25 will be deducted from your Account Value for all partial withdrawals after the first made in the same Policy Year. The partial withdrawal fee will be deducted proportionally from all Divisions.

Surrender Charges.  Your Policy has no surrender charges.

Change of Death Benefit Option Fee.  A maximum administrative fee of $100 will be deducted from your Account Value each time you change your death benefit option. The change of death benefit fee will be deducted proportionally from all Divisions.

Fund Expenses.  You indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Funds whose shares are held by the Divisions to which you allocate your Account Value. The Series Account purchases shares of the Funds at net asset value. Each Fund's net asset value reflects investment advisory fees and administrative expenses already deducted from the Fund's assets. For more information concerning the investment advisory fees and other charges against the Funds, see the Fund prospectuses and the statements of additional information for the Funds, which are available upon Request.

We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or administrators of the Funds. Such compensation will be consistent with the services we provide or the cost savings resulting from the arrangement and, therefore, may differ between Funds. See

“Payments We Receive” on page xx.

General Description of Policy

Unless otherwise indicated, the description of the Policy in this prospectus assumes that the Policy is in force, there is no Policy Debt and current federal tax laws apply. The Policy described in this prospectus is offered to corporations and other employers to provide life insurance coverage in connection with, among other things, deferred compensation plans and employer-financed insurance purchase arrangements. We issue Policies on the lives of prospective Insureds who meet our underwriting standards.

24

Policy Rights

Owner.  While the Insured is alive, unless you have assigned any of these rights, you may:

• transfer ownership to a new Owner;

• name a contingent owner who will automatically become the Owner of the Policy if you die before the Insured;

• change or revoke a contingent owner;

• change or revoke a Beneficiary (unless a previous Beneficiary designation was irrevocable);

• exercise all other rights in the Policy;

• increase or decrease the Total Face Amount, subject to the other provisions of the Policy; and

• change the death benefit option, subject to the other provisions of the Policy.

When you transfer your rights to a new Owner, you automatically revoke any prior contingent owner designation. When you want to change or revoke a prior Beneficiary designation, you have to specify that action. You do not affect a prior Beneficiary when you merely transfer ownership, or change or revoke a contingent owner designation.

You do not need the consent of a Beneficiary or a contingent owner in order to exercise any of your rights. However, you must give us written notice satisfactory to us of the Requested action. Your Request will then, except as otherwise specified herein, be effective as of the date you signed the form, subject to any action taken before it was received by us.

Beneficiary.  The Beneficiary has no rights in the Policy until the death of the Insured, except an irrevocable Beneficiary cannot be changed without the consent of that Beneficiary. If a Beneficiary is alive at that time, the Beneficiary will be entitled to payment of the Death Benefit Proceeds as they become due.

Policy Limitations

Allocation of Net Premiums.  Except as otherwise described herein, your net Premium will be allocated in accordance with the allocation percentages you select. Percentages must total 100% and can be up to two decimal places.

We will credit Premium payments received prior to the end of the free look period as described in the “Free Look Period” section of this prospectus on page xx.

You may change your allocation percentages at any time by Request.

Transfers Among Divisions.  Subject to our rules as they may exist from time to time, you may at any time after the Free-Look Period Transfer to another Division all or a portion of the Account Value allocated to a Division. We will make Transfers pursuant to a Request.

Transfers may be Requested by indicating the Transfer of either a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Division's value from which the Transfer will be made.

Transfer privileges are subject to our consent. We reserve the right to impose limitations on Transfers, including, but not limited to: (1) the minimum amount that may be Transferred; and (2) the minimum amount that may remain in a Division following a Transfer from that Division. In addition, we do not intend to enforce the restriction on Transfers set forth in your Policy except in cases of identified market timing unless the Sub-Account has additional restrictions that are noted in the respective Fund’s prospectus. See “Market Timing & Excessive Trading” on page xx.

A fee of $10 per Transfer will apply for all Transfers in excess of 12 made in a Policy Year. We may increase or decrease the Transfer charge; however, it is guaranteed to never exceed $10 per Transfer. All Transfers Requested on the same Business Day will count as only one Transfer toward the 12 free Transfers. The Transfer of your Initial Premium from the Maxim Money Market Portfolio Division to your selected Divisions does not count toward the 12 free Transfers. Likewise, any Transfers under dollar cost averaging or periodic rebalancing of your Account Value under the rebalancer option do not count toward the 12 free Transfers (a one time rebalancing, however, will be counted as one Transfer).

25

Fixed Account Transfers.  Transfers into the Fixed Account are limited to once every 60 days. Transfers from the Fixed Account may only be made once per year. The maximum to be transferred out will be the greater of 25% of your balance in the Fixed Account or the amount of the transfer in the previous 365 day period.

Market Timing & Excessive Trading.  The Policies are intended for long-term investment and not for the purpose of market timing or excessive trading activity. Market timing activity may dilute the interests of Owners in the Funds. Market timing generally involves frequent or unusually large transfers that are intended to take advantage of short-term fluctuations in the value of a Fund's portfolio securities and the reflection of that change in the Fund's share price. In addition, frequent or unusually large transfers may harm performance by increasing Fund expenses and disrupting Fund management strategies. For example, excessive trading may result in forced liquidations of portfolio securities or cause the Fund to keep a relatively higher cash position, resulting in increased brokerage costs and lost investment opportunities.

We maintain procedures designed to discourage market timing and excessive trading by Owners. As part of those procedures, we will rely on the Funds to monitor for such activity. If a Fund believes such activity has occurred, we will scrutinize the Owner’s activity and request a determination from the Fund as to whether such activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading. If the Fund determines that the activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will contact the Owner in writing to request that market timing and/or excessive trading stop immediately. We will then provide a subsequent report of the Owner's trading activity to the Fund. If the Fund determines that the Owner has not ceased improper trading, and upon request of the Fund, we will inform the Owner in writing that a trading restriction is being implemented. The four possible trading restrictions are:

• Restrict the Owner to inquiry-only access for the web and voice response unit so that the Owner will only be permitted to make Transfer Requests by written Request mailed to us through U.S. mail (“U.S. Mail Restriction”); the Owner will not be permitted to make Transfer Requests via overnight mail, fax, the web, or the call center. Once the U.S. Mail Restriction has been in place for 180 days, the restricted Owner may Request that we lift the U.S. Mail Restriction by signing, dating and returning a form to us whereby the Owner acknowledges the potentially harmful effects of market timing and/or excessive trading on Funds and other investors, represents that no further market timing or excessive trading will occur, and acknowledges that we may implement further restrictions, if necessary, to stop improper trading by the Owner;

• Close the applicable Fund to all new monies, including contributions and Transfers in;

• Restrict all Owners to one purchase in the applicable Fund per 90 day period; or

• Remove the Fund as an investment option and convert all allocations in that Fund to a different investment option.

The discretionary nature of our procedures creates a risk that we may treat some Owners differently than others.

Our market timing and excessive trading procedures are such that we do not impose trading restrictions unless or until a Fund first detects and notifies us of potential market timing or excessive trading activity. Accordingly, we cannot prevent all market timing or excessive trading transfer activity before it occurs, as it may not be possible to identify it unless and until a trading pattern is established. To the extent the Funds do not detect and notify us of market timing and/or excessive trading or the trading restrictions we impose fail to curtail it, it is possible that a market timer or excessive trader may be able to make market timing and/or excessive trading transactions with the result that the management of the Funds may be disrupted and the Owners may suffer detrimental effects such as increased costs, reduced performance, and dilution of their interests in the affected Funds.

We endeavor to ensure that our procedures are uniformly and consistently applied to all Owners, and we do not exempt any Owners from these procedures. In addition, we do not enter into agreements with Owners whereby we permit market timing or excessive trading. Subject to applicable state law and the terms of each Policy, we reserve the right without prior notice to modify, restrict, suspend or eliminate the Transfer privileges (including telephone Transfers) at any time, to require that all Transfer Requests be made by you and not by your designee, and to require that each Transfer Request be made by a separate communication to us. We also reserve the right to require that each Transfer Request be submitted in writing and be signed by you.

The Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. The prospectuses for the Funds should describe any such policies and procedures. The frequent trading policies and procedures of a Fund may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent

26

trading policies and procedures of other Funds and the policies and procedures we have adopted to discourage market timing and excessive trading. For example, a Fund may impose a redemption fee. Owners should also be aware that we may not have the contractual obligation or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective Funds that would be affected by the Transfers.

We may revise our market timing and excessive trading policy and related procedures at our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements or to impose additional or alternative restrictions on Owners engaging in market timing or excessive trading. In addition, our orders to purchase shares of the Funds are generally subject to acceptance by the Fund, and in some cases a Fund may reject or reverse our purchase order. Therefore, we reserve the right to reject any Owner's Transfer Request if our order to purchase shares of the Fund is not accepted by, or is reversed by, an applicable Fund.

You should note that other insurance companies and retirement plans may invest in the Funds and that those companies or plans may or may not have their own policies and procedures on frequent transfers. You should also know that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Funds generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. Omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and/or individual owners of variable insurance contracts. The nature of such orders may limit the Funds' ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures. As a result, there is a risk that the Funds may not be able to detect potential market timing and/or excessive trading activities in the omnibus orders they receive. We cannot guarantee that the Funds will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans and/or other insurance companies that invest in the Funds. If the policies and procedures of other insurance companies or retirement plans fail to successfully discourage frequent transfer activity, it may affect the value of your investments in the Funds. In addition, if a Fund believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more Transfer Requests from an Owner engaged in frequent transfer activity, the Fund may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby interfere with our ability to satisfy your Request even if you have not made frequent transfers. For Transfers into more than one investment option, we may reject or reverse the entire Transfer Request if any part of it is not accepted by or is reversed by a Fund.

Exchange of Policy.  You may exchange your Policy for a new policy issued by Great-West that does not provide for variable benefits. The new policy will have the same Policy Date, Issue Age, and Insured as your Policy on the date of the exchange. The exchange must be made within 24 Policy Months after the Issue Date of your Policy and all Policy Debt must be repaid.

The cash value of your current Policy will be applied to the new policy as the Initial Premium.

Age Requirements.  An Insured's Issue Age must be between 20 and 85 for Policies issued on a fully underwritten basis and between 20 and 70 for Policies issued on a guaranteed underwriting or a simplified underwriting basis.

Policy or Registrant Changes

Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Investment Options.  Shares of any or all of the Funds may not always be available for purchase by the Divisions of the Series Account, or we may decide that further investment in any such shares is no longer appropriate. In either event, shares of other registered open-end investment companies or unit investment trusts may be substituted both for Fund shares already purchased by the Series Account and/or as the security to be purchased in the future, provided that these substitutions have been approved by the SEC, to the extent necessary. We also may close a Division to future Premium allocations and Transfers of Account Value. A Division closing may affect dollar cost averaging and the rebalancer option. We also reserve the right to add Divisions, or to eliminate or combine existing Divisions or to Transfer assets between Divisions, or from any Division to our General Account. In the event of any substitution or other act described in this paragraph, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect the change.

The Series Account.  We reserve the right to operate the Series Account in any form permitted by law, to take any action necessary to comply with applicable law or obtain and continue any exemption from applicable laws, to assess a charge for taxes attributable to the operation of the Series Account or for other taxes, as described in “Charges and Deductions” beginning on page xx of this prospectus, and to change the way in which we assess other charges, as long as the total other charges do not exceed the maximum guaranteed charges under the Policies.

27

Entire Contract.  Your entire contract with us consists of the Policy, including the attached copy of your application and any attached copies of supplemental applications for increases in the Total Face Amount, any endorsements and any riders. Any illustrations prepared in connection with the Policy do not form a part of our contract with you and are intended solely to provide information about how values under the Policy, such as Cash Surrender Value, death benefit and Account Value, will change with the investment experience of the Divisions, and such information is based solely upon data available at the time such illustrations are prepared.

Alteration.  Sales representatives do not have any authority to either alter or modify your Policy or to waive any of its provisions. The only persons with this authority are our president, secretary, or one of our vice presidents.

Modification. Upon notice to you, we may modify the Policy if such a modification –

• is necessary to make the Policy or the Series Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are, or the Series Account is, subject;

• is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Policy under the Code or other federal or state laws as a life insurance policy;

• is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Series Account or the Divisions; or

• adds, deletes or otherwise changes Division options.

We also reserve the right to modify certain provisions of the Policy as stated in those provisions. In the event of any such modification, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect such modification.

Assignments.  During the lifetime of the Insured, you may assign all or some of your rights under the Policy. All assignments must be filed at our Corporate Headquarters and must be in written form satisfactory to us. The assignment will then be effective as of the date you signed the form, subject to any action taken before we received it. We are not responsible for the validity or legal effect of any assignment.

Notice and Elections.  To be effective, all notices and elections under the Policy must be in writing, signed by you, and received by us at our Corporate Headquarters. Certain exceptions may apply. Unless otherwise provided in the Policy, all notices, Requests and elections will be effective when received at our Corporate Headquarters complete with all necessary information.

Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of your interests in each Division you have chosen, plus your interests in the Fixed Account, plus the amount in your Loan Account. The Account Value varies depending upon the Premiums paid, expense charges applied to Premium, mortality and expense risk charge, service charges, monthly risk charges, partial withdrawals, fees, Policy loans and the net investment factor (described below) for the Divisions to which your Account Value is allocated and the interest credited to the Fixed Account.

We measure the amounts in the Divisions in terms of Units and Unit Values. On any given date, your interest in a Division is equal to the Unit Value multiplied by the number of Units credited to you in that Division. Amounts allocated to a Division will be used to purchase Units of that Division. Units are redeemed when you make partial withdrawals, undertake Policy loans or Transfer amounts from a Division, and for the payment of service charges, monthly risk charges and other fees. The number of Units of each Division purchased or redeemed is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the Unit Value for the Division. The Unit Value for each Division was established at $10 for the first Valuation Date of the Division. The Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to the Unit Value for the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the net investment factor (determined as provided below). The Unit Value of a Division for any Valuation Date is determined as of the close of the Valuation Period ending on that Valuation Date.

Transactions are processed on the date we receive a Premium at our Corporate Headquarters or upon approval of a Request. If your Premium or Request is received on a date that is not a Valuation Date, or after the close of the NYSE on a Valuation Date, the transaction will be processed on the next Valuation Date.

The Account Value attributable to each Division of the Series Account on the Policy Date equals:

28

• that portion of net Premium received and allocated to the Division, plus

• that portion of net Premium received and allocated to the Fixed Account, less

• the service charges due on the Policy Date, less

• the monthly risk charge due on the Policy Date, less

• the monthly risk charge for any riders due on the Policy Date.

We apply your Initial Premium on the Policy Date, which will be the Issue Date (if we have already received your Initial Premium) or the Business Day we receive a Premium equal to, or in excess of, the Initial Premium after we have approved your application.

The Account Value attributable to each Division of the Series Account on the subsequent Valuation Dates is equal to:

• the Account Value attributable to the Division on the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by that Division's net investment factor, plus

• that portion of net Premium received and allocated to the Division during the current Valuation Period, plus

• that portion of the value of the Loan Account Transferred to the Division upon repayment of a Policy loan during the current Valuation Period, plus

• any amounts Transferred by you to the Division from another Division during the current Valuation Period, less

• any amounts Transferred by you from the Division to another Division during the current Valuation Period, less

• that portion of any partial withdrawals deducted from the Division during the current Valuation Period, less

• that portion of any Account Value Transferred from the Division to the Loan Account during the current Valuation Period, less

• that portion of fees due in connection with a partial withdrawal charged to the Division, less

• if the first day of a Policy Month occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the service charge for the Policy Month just beginning charged to the Division, less

• if the first day of a Policy Month occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the monthly risk charge for the Policy Month just beginning charged to the Division, less

• if the first day of a Policy Month occurs during the current Valuation Period, that Division's portion of the cost for any riders and any extra risk charge if the Insured is in a rated class as specified in your Policy, for the Policy Month just beginning.

Net Investment Factor. The net investment factor for each Division for any Valuation Period is determined by deducting the mortality and expense risk charge for each day in the Valuation Period from the quotient of (1) and (2) where:

(1) is the net result of:

• the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Division determined as of the end of the current Valuation Period, plus

• the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution declared on Fund shares held in the Division if the “ex-dividend” date occurs during the current Valuation Period, plus or minus

• a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes incurred by or reserved for, or paid by us if not previously reserved for, during the current Valuation Period which are determined by us to be attributable to the operation of the Division; and

(2) is the net result of:

• the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Division determined as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period, plus or minus

• a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes incurred by or reserved for, or paid by us if not previously reserved for, during the preceding Valuation Period which are determined by us to be attributable to the operation of the Division.

29

The Fixed Account Value is:

• Premiums, less Expense Charges, allocated to the Fixed Account; plus

• Sub-Account Value transferred to the Fixed Account; plus

• Interest credited to the Fixed Account; minus

• Partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account including any applicable partial withdrawal charges; minus

• The portion of any accrued policy fees and charges allocated to the Fixed Account; minus

• Loans from the Fixed Account; minus

• Transfers from the Fixed Account, including any applicable transfer charges

During any Policy Month the Fixed Account Value will be calculated on a consistent basis. For purposes of crediting interest, policy value deducted, transferred or withdrawn from the Fixed Account is accounted for on a first in first out basis.

The mortality and expense risk charge for the Valuation Period is the annual mortality and expense risk charge divided by 365 multiplied by the number of days in the Valuation Period.

The net investment factor may be greater or less than or equal to one.

Splitting Units.  We reserve the right to split or combine the value of Units. In effecting any such change, strict equity will be preserved and no such change will have a material effect on the benefits or other provisions of your Policy.

Other Provisions and Benefits

Misstatement of Age or Sex (Non-Unisex Policy). If the age or (in the case of a non-unisex Policy) sex of the Insured is stated incorrectly in your Policy application or rider application, we will adjust the amount payable appropriately as described in the Policy.

If we determine that the Insured was not eligible for coverage under the Policy after we discover a misstatement of the Insured's age, our liability will be limited to a return of Premiums paid, less any partial withdrawals, any Policy Debt, and the cost for riders.

Suicide.  If the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after your Policy's Issue Date (one year if your Policy is issued in Colorado or North Dakota), we will not pay any part of the Death Benefit Proceeds. We will pay the Beneficiary the Premiums paid, less the amount of any Policy Debt, any partial withdrawals and the cost for riders.

If the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after the effective date of an increase in the Total Face Amount (one year if your Policy is issued in Colorado or North Dakota), then our liability as to that increase will be the cost of insurance for that increase and that portion of the Account Value attributable to that increase. The Total Face Amount of the Policy will be reduced to the Total Face Amount that was in effect prior to the increase.

Incontestability.  All statements made in the application or in a supplemental application are representations and not warranties. We relied and will continue to rely on those statements when approving the issuance, increase in face amount, increase in death benefit over Premium paid, or change in death benefit option of the Policy. In the absence of fraud, we can use no statement in defense of a claim or to cancel the Policy for misrepresentation unless the statement was made in the application or in a supplemental application. In the absence of fraud, after the Policy has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for a period of two years from its Issue Date, we cannot contest it except for non-payment of Premiums. However, any increase in the Total Face Amount which is effective after the Issue Date will be incontestable only after such increase has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the effective date of coverage of such increase.

Paid-Up Life Insurance.  When the Insured reaches Attained Age 121 (if your Policy is in force at that time), the entire Account Value of your Policy (less outstanding Policy Debt) will be applied as a single Premium to purchase

30

“paid-up” insurance. Outstanding Policy Debt will be repaid at this time. This repayment may be treated as a taxable distribution to you if your Policy is not a MEC. The net single Premium for this insurance will be based on the 2001 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary, Sex Distinct, Non-Smoker Mortality Table and 4% interest. The cash value of your paid-up insurance, which initially is equal to the net single Premium, will remain in the Divisions of the Series Account in accordance with your then current allocation. While the paid-up life insurance is in effect your assets will remain in the Series Account. You may change your Division allocation instructions and you may Transfer your cash value among the Divisions. All charges under your Policy, to the extent applicable, will continue to be assessed, except we will no longer make a deduction each Policy Month for the monthly risk charge. Your death benefit will be fixed by the Code for insured age 99. As your cash value changes based on the investment experience of the Divisions, the death benefit will increase or decrease accordingly. You may surrender the paid-up insurance Policy at any time and, if surrendered within 30 days of a Policy Anniversary, its cash value will not be less than it was on that Policy Anniversary. Please see “Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Treatment When Insured Reaches Attained Age 121” on page xx.

Supplemental Benefits.  The following supplemental benefit riders are available, subject to certain limitations. An additional monthly risk charge will be assessed for each rider that is in force as part of the monthly deduction from your Account Value. If a supplemental benefit rider is terminated, the monthly risk charge for such rider will end immediately. See fee tables beginning on page x.

Term Life Insurance Rider.  This rider provides term life insurance on the Insured. Coverage is renewable annually until the Insured's Attained Age 121. The amount of coverage provided under this rider varies from month to month as described below. We will pay the rider's death benefit to the Beneficiary when we receive Due Proof of death of the Insured while this rider is in force.

This rider provides the same three death benefit options as your Policy. The option you choose under the rider must at all times be the same as the option you have chosen for your Policy. The rider's death benefit will be determined at the beginning of each Policy Month in accordance with one of those options. For each of the options, any outstanding Policy Debt will reduce your death benefit.

If you purchase this rider, the Total Face Amount shown on your Policy's specifications page will be equal to the minimum amount of coverage provided by this rider plus the base face amount (which is the minimum death benefit under your Policy without the rider’s death benefit). The minimum allocation of Total Face Amount between your Policy and the rider is 10% and 90% at inception, respectively. The total Death Benefit Payable under the rider and the Policy will be determined as described in "Death Benefit" below, using the Total Face Amount shown on your Policy’s specifications page.

Coverage under this rider will take effect on the latter of:

• the Policy Date of the Policy to which this rider is attached; or

• the date this rider is delivered and the first rider premium is paid to the Company

The monthly risk rate for this rider will be the same as that used for the Policy and the monthly risk charge for the rider will be determined by multiplying the monthly risk rate by the rider's death benefit. This charge will be calculated on the first day of each Policy Month and added to the Policy's monthly risk charge.

If you purchase this rider, the sales load and return of expense charge will be proportionately lower as a result of a reduction in commission payments. Commissions payable to sales representatives for the sale of the Policy are calculated based on the total Premium payments. As a result, this rider generally is not offered in connection with any Policy with annual Premium payments of less than $100,000, except for policies issued on a guaranteed issue basis. In our discretion, we may decline to offer this rider or refuse to consent to a proposed allocation of coverage between a Policy and term rider.

If this rider is offered, the commissions will vary depending on the allocation of your coverage between the Policy and the term rider. The same initial Death Benefit will result in the highest commission when there is no term rider, with the commission declining as the portion of the Death Benefit coverage allocated to the term rider increases. Thus, the lowest commission amount is payable, and the lowest amount of sales load deducted from your Premiums will occur, when the maximum term rider is purchased.

31

You may terminate this rider by Request. This rider also will terminate on the earliest of the following dates:

• the date the Policy is surrendered or terminated;

• the expiration of the grace period of the Policy; or

• the death of the Insured.

Change of Insured Rider.  This rider permits you to change the Insured under your Policy or any Insured that has been named by virtue of this rider. Before we change the Insured you must provide us with (1) a Request for the change signed by you and approved by us; (2) Evidence of Insurability for the new Insured; (3) evidence that there is an insurable interest between you and the new Insured; (4) evidence that the new Insured's age, at the nearest birthday, is under 70 years; and (5) evidence that the new Insured was born prior to the Policy Date. We may charge a fee for administrative expenses when you change the Insured. The minimum charge is $100 per change and the maximum charge is $400 per change. When a change of Insured takes effect, Premiums will be based on the new Insured's age, sex, mortality class and the Premium rate in effect on the Policy Date.

Report to Owner.  We will maintain all records relating to the Series Account and the Divisions and the Fixed Account. We will send you a report at least once each Policy Year within 30 days after a Policy Anniversary. The report will show current Account Value, current allocation in each Division, death benefit, Premiums paid, investment experience since your last report, deductions made since the last report, and any further information that may be required by laws of the state in which your Policy was issued. It will also show the balance of any outstanding Policy loans and accrued interest on such loans. There is no charge for this report.

In addition, we will send you the financial statements of the Funds and other reports as specified in the 1940 Act. We also will mail you confirmation notices or other appropriate notices of Policy transactions quarterly or more frequently within the time periods specified by law. Please give us prompt written notice of any address change. Please read your statements and confirmations carefully and verify their accuracy and contact us promptly with any questions.

Dollar Cost Averaging.  By Request, you may elect dollar cost averaging in order to purchase Units of the Divisions over a period of time. There is no charge for this service.

Dollar cost averaging permits you to automatically Transfer a predetermined dollar amount, subject to our minimum, at regular intervals from any one or more designated Divisions to one or more of the remaining, then available Divisions. The Unit Value will be determined on the dates of the Transfers. You must specify the percentage to be Transferred into each designated Division. Transfers may be set up on any one of the following frequency periods: monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. The Transfer will be initiated one frequency period following the date of your Request. We will provide a list of Divisions eligible for dollar cost averaging that may be modified from time to time. Amounts Transferred through dollar cost averaging are not counted against the 12 free Transfers allowed in a Policy Year. You may not participate in dollar cost averaging and the rebalancer option (described below) at the same time. Participation in dollar cost averaging does not assure a greater profit, or any profit, nor will it prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate dollar cost averaging at any time.

Rebalancer Option.  By Request, you may elect the rebalancer option in order to automatically Transfer Account Value among the Divisions on a periodic basis. There is no charge for this service. This type of transfer program automatically reallocates your Account Value so as to maintain a particular percentage allocation among Divisions chosen by you. The amount allocated to each Division will grow or decline at different rates depending on the investment experience of the Divisions. Rebalancing does not change your Premium allocation unless that option is checked on the rebalancer Request. Your Premium allocation can also be changed by written Request at the address on the first page of this prospectus.

You may Request that rebalancing occur one time only, in which case the Transfer will take place on the date of the Request. This Transfer will count as one Transfer towards the 12 free Transfers allowed in a Policy Year.

You may also choose to rebalance your Account Value on a quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis, in which case the first Transfer will be initiated one frequency period following the date of your Request. On that date, your Account Value will be automatically reallocated to the selected Divisions. Thereafter, your Account Value will be rebalanced once each frequency period. In order to participate in the rebalancer option, your entire Account Value must be included. Transfers made with these frequencies will not count against the 12 free Transfers allowed in a Policy Year.

32

You must specify the percentage of Account Value to be allocated to each Division and the frequency of rebalancing. You may terminate the rebalancer option at any time by Request.

You may not participate in the rebalancer option and dollar cost averaging at the same time. Participation in the rebalancer option does not assure a greater profit, or any profit, nor will it prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the rebalancer option at any time.

Non-Participating.  The Policy does not pay dividends.

Premiums

Policy Application, Issuance and Initial Premium.  To purchase a Policy, you must submit an application to our Corporate Headquarters. We will then follow our underwriting procedures designed to determine the insurability of the applicant. We may require full underwriting, which includes a medical examination and further information, before your application may be approved. We also may offer the Policy on a simplified underwriting or guaranteed issue basis. Applicants must be acceptable risks based on our applicable underwriting limits and standards. We will not issue a Policy until the underwriting process has been completed to our satisfaction. We reserve the right to reject an application for any lawful reason or to “rate” an Insured as a substandard risk, which will result in increased monthly risk rates. The monthly risk rate also may vary depending on the type of underwriting we use.

You must specify certain information in the application, including the Total Face Amount, the death benefit option and supplemental benefits, if any. The Total Face Amount generally may not be decreased below $100,000.

Upon approval of the application, we will issue to you a Policy on the life of the Insured. A specified Initial Premium must be paid before we issue the Policy. The effective date of coverage for your Policy (which we call the “Policy Date”) will be the date we receive a Premium equal to or in excess of the specified Initial Premium after we have approved your application. If your Premium payment is received on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month, the Policy will be dated the 28th of that month.

We generally do not accept Premium payments before approval of an application; however, at our discretion, we may elect to do so. While your application is in underwriting, if we accept your Premium payment before approval of your application, we will provide you with temporary insurance coverage in accordance with the terms of our temporary insurance agreement. In our discretion, we may limit the amount of Premium we accept and the amount of temporary coverage we provide. If we approve your application, we will allocate your Premium payment to the Series Account or Fixed Account on the Policy Date, as described below. Otherwise, we will promptly return your payment to you. We will not credit interest to your Premium payment for the period while your application is in underwriting.

We reserve the right to change the terms or conditions of your Policy to comply with differences in applicable state law. Variations from the information appearing in this prospectus due to individual state requirements are described in supplements that are attached to this prospectus or in endorsements to the Policy, as appropriate.

Free Look Period.  During the free look period (ten days or longer where required by state law), you may cancel your Policy. If you exercise the free look privilege, you must return the Policy to our Corporate Headquarters or to the representative from whom you purchased the Policy.

Generally, net Premium will be allocated to the Divisions you selected on the application. However, under certain circumstances described below, the net Premium will first be allocated to the Maxim Money Market Division and remain there until the next Valuation Date following the end of the free look period. On that date, the Sub-Account value held in the Maxim Money Market Division will be allocated to the Division(s) selected by you. If your Premium payments are received after 4:00 PM EST/EDT, such payments will be credited on the next Valuation Date. Regardless of when the payment is credited, you will receive the utilized values from the date we received your payment.

33

During the free look period, you may change your Division allocations and your allocation percentages, however depending on whether your state permits the immediate investment of your premium, changes made during the free look period may not take effect until after the free look period has expired.

Policies returned during the free look period will be void from the Issue Date. In some states, we will refund your current Account Value plus the return of any expense charges deducted. In those states, this amount may be higher or lower than your Premium payments, which means you bear the investment risk during the free look period.

Certain states require that we return the greater of your Account Value (less any surrenders, withdrawals and distributions already received) or the amount of the Premiums received. In those states, we will allocate your net Premium payments to the Maxim Money Market Division. We will Transfer the Account Value in that Division to the other Divisions of the Series Account in accordance with your most recent allocation instructions on file at the end of the free look period.

Premium.  All Premium payments must be made payable to “Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company” and mailed to our Corporate Headquarters. The Initial Premium will be due and payable on or before your Policy's Issue Date. The minimum Initial Premium will vary based on various factors, including the age of the Insured and the death benefits option you select, but may not be less than $100. You may pay additional Premium payments to us in the amounts and at the times you choose, subject to the limitations described below. To find out whether your Premium payment has been received, contact us at the address or telephone number shown on the first page of this prospectus.

We reserve the right to limit the number of Premium payments we accept on an annual basis. No Premium payment may be less than $100 per Policy without our consent, although we will accept a smaller Premium payment if necessary to keep your Policy in force. We reserve the right to restrict or refuse any Premium payments that exceed the Initial Premium amount shown on your Policy. We also reserve the right not to accept a Premium payment that causes the death benefit to increase by an amount that exceeds the Premium received. Evidence of insurability satisfactory to us may be required before we accept any such Premium.

We will not accept Premium payments that would, in our opinion, cause your Policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under applicable federal tax law. If a Premium payment is made in excess of these limits, we will accept only that portion of the Premium within those limits, and will refund the remainder to you.

Net Premiums.  The net Premium is the amount you pay as the Premium less any expense charges applied to Premiums. See “Charges and Deductions -- Expense Charge Applied to Premium,” on page xx.

Planned Periodic Premiums.  While you are not required to make additional Premium payments according to a fixed schedule, you may select a planned periodic Premium schedule and corresponding billing period, subject to our limits. We will send you reminder notices for the planned periodic Premium, unless you Request to have reminder notices suspended. You are not required, however, to pay the planned periodic Premium; you may increase or decrease the planned periodic Premium subject to our limits, and you may skip a planned payment or make unscheduled payments. Depending on the investment performance of the Divisions you select, the planned periodic Premium may not be sufficient to keep your Policy in force, and you may need to change your planned payment schedule or make additional payments in order to prevent termination of your Policy.

Death Benefits

Death Benefit.  If your Policy is in force at the time of the Insured's death, we will pay the Beneficiary an amount based on the death benefit option you select once we have received Due Proof of the Insured's death. The amount payable will be:

• the amount of the selected death benefit option, less

• the value of any Policy Debt on the date of the Insured’s death, less

• any accrued and unpaid Policy charges.

We will pay this amount to the Beneficiary in one lump sum, unless the Beneficiary and we agree on another form of settlement. We will pay interest, at a rate not less than that required by law, on the amount of Death Benefit Proceeds, if payable in one lump sum, from the date of the Insured's death to the date of payment.

34

In order to meet the definition of life insurance under the Code, section 7702 of the Code defines alternative testing procedures for the minimum death benefit under a Policy. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Status of the Policy," on page xx. Your Policy must qualify under the cash value accumulation test (“CVAT”).

Under the CVAT testing procedures, there is a minimum death benefit required at all times equal to your Account Value multiplied by a pre-determined factor. The factors used to determine the minimum death benefit vary by age. The factors (expressed as percentages) used for the CVAT are set forth in your Policy.

The Policy has two death benefit options.

Option 1. The “Level Death” Option. Under this option, the death benefit is –

• the Policy's Total Face Amount on the date of the Insured's death less any partial withdrawals; or, if greater,

• the Account Value on the date of death multiplied by the applicable factor shown in the table set forth in your Policy.

This death benefit option should be selected if you want to minimize your cost of insurance (monthly risk charge).

Option 2. The “Coverage Plus” Option. Under this option, the death benefit is –

• the sum of the Total Face Amount and Account Value of the Policy on the date of the Insured's death less any partial withdrawals; or, if greater,

• the Account Value on the date of death multiplied by the applicable factor shown in the table set forth in your Policy.

This death benefit option should be selected if you want to maximize your death benefit.

Your Account Value and death benefit fluctuate based on the performance of the investment options you select and the expenses and deductions charged to your account. See the “Account Value” and “Charges and Deductions” sections of this prospectus.

There is no minimum death benefit guarantee associated with this Policy.

Changes in Death Benefit Option.  After the first Policy Year, but not more than once each Policy Year, you may change the death benefit option by Request. Any change will be effective on the first day of the Policy Month following the date we approve your Request. A maximum administrative fee of $100 will be deducted from your Account Value each time you change your death benefit option.

A change in the death benefit option will not change the amount payable upon the death of the Insured on the date of change. Any change is subject to the following conditions:

• If the change is from option 1 to option 2, the new Total Face Amount, at the time of the change, will equal the prior Total Face Amount less the Account Value. Evidence of insurability may be required.

• If the change is from option 2 to option 1, the new Total Face Amount, at the time of the change, will equal the prior Total Face Amount plus the Account Value.

Changes in Total Face Amount.  You may increase or decrease the Total Face Amount of your Policy at any time within certain limits.

Minimum Changes. Each increase or decrease in the Total Face Amount must be at least $25,000. We reserve the right to change the minimum amount by which you may change the Total Face Amount.

Increases in Total Face Amount. To Request an increase in Total Face Amount, you must provide satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability. Once approved by us, an increase will become effective on the Policy Anniversary following our approval of your Request, subject to the deduction of the first Policy Month's monthly risk charge, service charge, any extra risk charge if the Insured is in a rated class and the cost of any riders.

35

Each increase to the Total Face Amount is considered to be a new segment to the Policy. When an increase is approved, Premium is allocated against the original Policy segment up to the seven-pay Premium limit established on the Issue Date. Any excess Premium is then allocated toward the new segment. Each segment will have a separate target Premium associated with it. The expense charge applied to Premium is higher up to target and lower for Premium in excess of the target as described in detail in the “Charges and Deductions” section of this prospectus. The expense charge formula will apply to each segment based on the target Premium for that segment. In addition, each segment will have a new incontestability period and suicide exclusion period as described in the "Other Provisions and Benefits" section of this prospectus.

Decreases in Total Face Amount. A decrease in Total Face Amount will become effective at the beginning of the next Policy Month following our approval of your Request. The Total Face Amount after the decrease must be at least $100,000.

For purposes of the incontestability provision of your Policy, any decrease in Total Face Amount will be applied in the following order:

• first, to the most recent increase;

• second, to the next most recent increases, in reverse chronological order; and

• finally, to the initial Total Face Amount.

Surrenders and Withdrawals

Surrenders.  You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Insured is living. If you do, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the Policy will terminate. To surrender your Policy, contact us at the address or telephone number shown on the first page of this prospectus. We will send you the paperwork necessary for you to Request the surrender of your Policy. The proceeds of a surrender will be payable within seven days of our receipt of the completed Request.

We will determine your Cash Surrender Value as of the end of the first Valuation Date after we receive your Request for surrender.

If you withdraw part of the Cash Surrender Value, your Policy's death benefit will be reduced and you may incur taxes and tax penalties.

You may borrow from us using your Account Value as collateral.

A surrender may have tax consequences, including tax penalties. See “Federal Income Tax Considerations – Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits,” beginning on page xx of this prospectus.

Partial Withdrawal.  You may Request a partial withdrawal of Account Value at any time while the Policy is in force. The amount of any partial withdrawal must be at least $500 and may not exceed 90% of your Account Value less the value of the Loan Account. A partial withdrawal fee will be deducted from your Account Value for all partial withdrawals after the first made during the same Policy Year. This administrative fee is guaranteed to be no greater than $25. To Request a partial withdrawal, contact us at the address or telephone number shown on the first page of this prospectus. We will send you the paperwork necessary for you to request a withdrawal from your Policy. The proceeds of any such partial withdrawal will be payable within seven days of our receipt of the completed Request.

The Death Benefit Proceeds will be reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawals.

Your Account Value will be reduced by the amount of a partial withdrawal. The amount of a partial withdrawal will be withdrawn from the Divisions and the Fixed Account in proportion to the amounts in the Divisions and the Fixed Account bearing on your Account Value. You cannot repay amounts taken as a partial withdrawal. Any subsequent payments received by us will be treated as additional Premium payments and will be subject to our limitations on Premiums.

A partial withdrawal may have tax consequences. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits," beginning on page xx of this prospectus.

36

Loans

Policy Loans.  You may Request a Policy loan of up to 90% of your Account Value, decreased by the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the Policy loan is made less any accrued loan interest and less the current monthly deductions remaining for the balance of the Policy Year. When a Policy loan is made, a portion of your Account Value equal to the amount of the Policy loan will be allocated to the Loan Account as collateral for the loan. This amount will not be affected by the investment experience of the Series Account while the loan is outstanding and will be subtracted from the Divisions in proportion to the amounts in the Divisions bearing on your Account Value. The minimum Policy loan amount is $500.

The interest rate on the Policy loan will be determined annually, using a simple interest formula, at the beginning of each Policy Year. That interest rate will be guaranteed for that Policy Year and will apply to all Policy loans outstanding during that Policy Year. Interest is due and payable on each Policy Anniversary. Interest not paid when due will be added to the principal amount of the loan and will bear interest at the loan interest rate.

Presently, 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. If the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average ceases to be published, the maximum interest rate for Policy loans will be derived from a substantially similar average adopted by your state's Insurance Commissioner.

We must reduce our Policy loan interest rate if the maximum loan interest rate is lower than the loan interest rate for the previous Policy Year by one-half of one percent or more.

We may increase the Policy loan interest rate but such increase must be at least one-half of one percent. No increase may be made if the Policy loan interest rate would exceed the maximum loan interest rate. We will send you advance notice of any increase in the Policy loan rate.

Interest will be credited to amounts held in the Loan Account using a compound interest formula. The rate will be no less than the Policy loan interest rate then in effect less a maximum of 0.9%.

All payments we receive from you will be treated as Premium payments unless we have received notice, in form satisfactory to us, that the funds are for loan repayment. If you have a Policy loan, it is generally advantageous to repay the loan rather than make a Premium payment because Premium payments incur expense charges whereas loan repayments do not. Loan repayments will first reduce the outstanding balance of the Policy loan and then accrued but unpaid interest on such loans. We will accept repayment of any Policy loan at any time while the Policy is in force. Amounts paid to repay a Policy loan will be allocated to the Divisions in accordance with your allocation instructions then in effect at the time of repayment. Any amount in the Loan Account used to secure the repaid loan will be allocated back to the Sub-Accounts.

A Policy loan, whether or not repaid, will affect the Death Benefit Proceeds, payable upon the Insured's death, and the Account Value because the investment results of the Divisions do not apply to amounts held in the Loan Account. The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is likely to be, depending on the investment results of the Divisions while the loan is outstanding. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable.

Lapse and Reinstatement

Lapse and Continuation of Coverage.  If you cease making Premium payments, coverage under your Policy and any riders to the Policy will continue until your Account Value, less any Policy Debt, is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction. When that occurs, the grace period will go into effect.

Grace Period.  If the first day of a Policy Month occurs during the Valuation Period and your Account Value, less any Policy Debt, is not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction for that Policy Month, then your Policy will enter the grace period described below. If you do not pay sufficient additional Premiums during the grace period, your Policy will terminate without value.

The grace period will allow 61 days for the payment of Premium sufficient to keep the Policy in force. Any such Premium must be in an amount sufficient to cover deductions for the monthly risk charge, the service charge, the cost for any riders and any extra risk charge if the Insured is in a rated class for the next two Policy Months. Notice of Premium due will be mailed to your last known address or the last known address of any assignee of record at

37

least 31 days before the date coverage under your Policy will cease. If the Premium due is not paid within the grace period, then the Policy and all rights to benefits will terminate without value at the end of the 61-day period. The Policy will continue to remain in force during this grace period. If the Death Benefit Proceeds become payable by us during the grace period, then any due and unpaid Policy charges will be deducted from the amount payable by us.

Termination of Policy.  Your Policy will terminate on the earliest of the date we receive your Request to surrender, the expiration date of the grace period due to insufficient value or the date of death of the Insured. Upon lapse or termination, the Policy no longer provides insurance benefits.

Reinstatement.  Before the Insured's death, we will reinstate your Policy, provided that the Policy has not been surrendered, and provided further that:

• you make your reinstatement Request within three years from the date of termination;

• you submit satisfactory Evidence of Insurability to us;

• you pay an amount equal to the Policy charges which were due and unpaid at the end of the grace period;

• you pay a Premium equal to four times the monthly deduction applicable on the date of reinstatement; and

• you repay or reinstate any Policy loan that was outstanding on the date coverage ceased, including interest at 6.00% per year compounded annually from the date coverage ceased to the date of reinstatement of your Policy.

A reinstated Policy's Total Face Amount may not exceed the Total Face Amount at the time of termination. Your Account Value on the reinstatement date will reflect:

• the Account Value at the time of termination; plus

• net Premiums attributable to Premiums paid to reinstate the Policy; less

• the monthly expense charge; less

• the monthly cost of insurance charge applicable on the date of reinstatement; less

• The expense charge applied to Premium.

The effective date of reinstatement will be the date the application for reinstatement is approved by us.

Deferral of Payment.  We will usually pay any amount due from the Series Account within seven days after the Valuation Date following your Request giving rise to such payment or, in the case of death of the Insured, Due Proof of such death. Payment of any amount payable from the Series Account on death, surrender, partial withdrawal, or Policy loan may be postponed whenever:

• the NYSE is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closing, or trading on the NYSE is otherwise restricted;

• the SEC, by order, permits postponement for the protection of Owners; or

• an emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable, or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the assets of the Series Account.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. You should consult counsel or other competent tax advisers for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the Internal Revenue Service’s (the "IRS") current interpretation of current federal income tax laws. We make no representation as to the likelihood of continuation of the current federal income tax laws or of the current interpretations by the IRS. We do not make any guarantee regarding the tax status of any Policy or any transaction regarding the Policy.

The Policy may be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if the use of the Policy in any such arrangement is contemplated, you should consult a qualified tax adviser for advice on the tax attributes and consequences of the particular arrangement.

38

Tax Status of the Policy

A Policy has certain tax advantages when treated as a life insurance contract within the meaning of section 7702 of the Code. We believe that the Policy meets the section 7702 definition of a life insurance contract and will take whatever steps are appropriate and reasonable to attempt to cause the Policy to comply with section 7702. We reserve the right to amend the Policy to comply with any future changes in the Code, any regulations or rulings under the Code and any other requirements imposed by the IRS.

Diversification of Investments.  Section 817(h) of the Code requires that the investments of each Division of the Series Account be “adequately diversified” in accordance with certain Treasury Department regulations. Disqualification of the Policy as a life insurance contract for failure to comply with the diversification requirements would result in the imposition on you of federal income tax at ordinary income tax rates with respect to the earnings allocable to the Policy in the year of the failure and all prior years prior to the receipt of payments under the Policy. We believe that the Divisions will be adequately diversified.

Policy Owner Control.  In connection with its issuance of temporary and proposed regulations under Section 817(h) in 1986, the Treasury Department announced that those regulations did not "provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor (i.e., the Owner), rather than the insurance company to be treated as the owner of the assets in the account" (which would result in the current taxation of the income on those assets to the Owner). In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS provided such guidance by describing the circumstances under which the owner of a variable contract will not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the contract to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes. Rev. Rul. 2003-91 states that the determination of whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances. We do not believe that your ownership rights under the Policy would result in your being treated as the Owner of the assets of the Policy under Rev. Rul. 2003-91. However, we do not know whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance. Therefore, we reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to prevent an Owner from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the assets of the Policy.

The following discussion assumes that your Policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.

Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits

Life Insurance Death Benefit Proceeds.  In general, the amount of the Death Benefit Payable under your Policy is excludible from your Beneficiary’s gross income under the Code.

If the death benefit is not received in a lump sum and is, instead, applied under a proceeds option agreed to by us and the Beneficiary, payments generally will be prorated between amounts attributable to the death benefit, which will be excludible from the Beneficiary's income, and amounts attributable to interest (occurring after the Insured’s death), which will be includable in the Beneficiary's income.

Tax Deferred Accumulation.  Any increase in your Account Value is generally not taxable to you. If you receive or are deemed to receive amounts from the Policy before the Insured dies, see the following section entitled “Distributions” for a more detailed discussion of the taxability of such payments.

Depending on the circumstances, any of the following transactions may have federal income tax consequences:

• the exchange of a Policy for a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract;

• a change in the death benefit option;

• a Policy loan;

• a partial surrender;

• a complete surrender;

• a change in the ownership of a Policy;

• a change of the named Insured; or

• an assignment of a Policy.

39

In addition, federal, state and local transfer and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Death Benefit Proceeds will depend on your circumstances and those of the named Beneficiary. Whether partial withdrawals (or other amounts deemed to be distributed) constitute income subject to federal income tax depends, in part, upon whether your Policy is considered a MEC.

Surrenders.  If you surrender your Policy, you will recognize ordinary income to the extent the Account Value exceeds the “investment in the contract,” which is generally the total of Premiums and other consideration paid for the Policy, less all amounts previously received under the Policy to the extent those amounts were excludible from gross income.

Modified Endowment Contracts.  Section 7702A of the Code treats certain life insurance contracts as MECs. In general, a Policy will be treated as a MEC if total Premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years exceed the sum of the net level Premiums which would have been paid on or before that time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of seven level annual Premiums (“seven-pay test”). In addition, a Policy may be treated as a MEC if there is a "material change" to the Policy.

We will monitor your Premium payments and other Policy transactions and notify you if a payment or other transaction might cause your Policy to become a MEC. We will not invest any Premium or portion of a Premium that would cause your Policy to become a MEC without instruction to do so from you. We will promptly notify you or your agent of the excess cash received. We will not process the Premium payment unless we receive a MEC acceptance form or Policy change form within 48 hours of receipt of the excess funds. If paperwork is received that allows us to process the excess cash, the effective date will be the date of the new paperwork.

Further, if a transaction occurs which decreases the Total Face Amount of your Policy during the first seven years, we will retest your Policy, as of the date of its purchase, based on the lower Total Face Amount to determine compliance with the seven-pay test. Also, if a decrease in Total Face Amount occurs within seven years of a "material change," we will retest your Policy for compliance as of the date of the “material change.” Failure to comply in either case would result in the Policy's classification as a MEC regardless of our efforts to provide a payment schedule that would not otherwise violate the seven-pay test.

The rules relating to whether a Policy will be treated as a MEC are complex and cannot be fully described in the limited confines of this summary. Therefore, you should consult with a competent tax adviser to determine whether a particular transaction will cause your Policy to be treated as a MEC.

Distributions

Distributions Under a Policy That Is Not a MEC.  If your Policy is not a MEC, a distribution is generally treated first as a tax-free recovery of the "investment in the contract," and then as a distribution of taxable income to the extent the distribution exceeds the "investment in the contract." An exception is made for cash distributions that occur in the first 15 Policy Years as a result of a decrease in the death benefit or other change that reduces benefits under the Policy that are made for purposes of maintaining compliance with section 7702. Such distributions are taxed in whole or part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the Policy) under rules prescribed in section 7702.

If your Policy is not a MEC, Policy loans and loans secured by the Policy are generally not treated as distributions. Such loans are instead generally treated as your indebtedness.

Finally, if your Policy is not a MEC, distributions (including distributions upon surrender), Policy loans and loans secured by the Policy are not subject to the ten percent additional tax applicable to distributions from a MEC.

Distributions Under Modified Endowment Contracts.  If treated as a MEC, your Policy will be subject to the following tax rules:

• First, partial withdrawals are treated as ordinary income subject to ordinary income tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of your Account Value immediately before the distribution over the "investment in the contract" at the time of the distribution.

40

• Second, Policy loans and loans secured by a Policy are treated as partial withdrawals and taxed accordingly. Any past-due loan interest that is added to the amount of the loan is treated as a loan.

• Third, a ten percent additional penalty tax is imposed on that portion of any distribution (including distributions upon surrender), Policy loans, or loans secured by a Policy, that is included in income, except where the distribution or loan is made to a taxpayer that is a natural person, and:

1. is made when the taxpayer is age 59 ¹/2 or older;

2. is attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled; or

3. is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) for the duration of the taxpayer’s life (or life expectancy) or for the duration of the longer of the taxpayer’s or the Beneficiary’s life (or life expectancies).

Multiple Policies.  All MECs issued by us (or our affiliates) to you during any calendar year will be treated as a single MEC for purposes of determining the amount of a Policy distribution that is taxable to you.

Treatment When Insured Reaches Attained Age 121.  As described above, when the Insured reaches Attained Age 121, we will issue you a “paid-up” life insurance Policy. We believe that the paid-up life insurance Policy will continue to qualify as a “life insurance contract” under the Code. However, there is some uncertainty regarding this treatment. It is possible, therefore, that you would be viewed as constructively receiving the Cash Surrender Value in the year in which the Insured attains age 121 and would realize taxable income at that time, even if the Death Benefit Proceeds were not distributed at that time. In addition, any outstanding Policy Debt will be repaid at that time. This repayment may be treated as a taxable distribution to you, if your contract is not a MEC.

The IRS has issued Revenue Procedure 2010-28 providing a safe harbor concerning the application of Sections 7702 and 7702A to life insurance contracts that have mortality guarantees based on the 2001 CSO Table and which may continue in force after an insured attains age 100. If a contract satisfies all the requirements of Sections 7702 and 7702A using all of the Age 100 Safe Harbor Testing Method requirements set forth in Rev. Proc. 2010-28, the IRS will not challenge the qualification of that contract under Sections 7702 and 7702A. Rev. Proc. 2010-28 also states that “No adverse inference should be drawn with respect to the qualification of a contract as a life insurance contract under §7702, or its status as not a MEC under §7702A, merely by reason of a failure to satisfy all of the requirements of [the Age 100 Safe Harbor].”

Federal Income Tax Withholding.  We are required to withhold 10% on that portion of a Policy distribution that is taxable, unless you direct us in writing not to do so at or before the time of the Policy distribution. As the Owner you are responsible for the payment of any taxes and early distribution penalties that may be due on Policy distributions.

Actions to Ensure Compliance with the Tax Law.  We believe that the maximum amount of Premiums we intend to permit for the Policies will comply with the Code definition of a “life insurance contract.” We will monitor the amount of your Premiums, and, if you pay a Premium during a Policy Year that exceeds those permitted by the Code, we will promptly refund the Premium or a portion of the Premium before any allocation to the Funds. We reserve the right to increase the death benefit (which may result in larger charges under a Policy) or to take any other action deemed necessary to ensure the compliance of the Policy with the federal tax definition of a life insurance contract.

Trade or Business Entity Owns or Is Directly or Indirectly a Beneficiary of the Policy.  Where a Policy is owned by other than a natural person, the Owner’s ability to deduct interest on business borrowing unrelated to the Policy can be impacted as a result of its ownership of cash value life insurance. No deduction will be allowed for a portion of a taxpayer’s otherwise deductible interest expense unless the Policy covers only one individual, and such individual is, at the time first covered by the Policy, a 20 percent owner of the trade or business entity that owns the Policy, or an officer, director, or employee of such trade or business.

Although this limitation generally does not apply to Policies held by natural persons, if a trade or business (other than one carried on as a sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly the Beneficiary under a Policy (e.g., pursuant to a split-dollar agreement), the Policy will be treated as held by such trade or business. The effect will be that a portion of the trade or business entity’s deduction for its interest expenses will be disallowed unless the above exception for a 20 percent owner, employee, officer or director applies.

The portion of the entity’s interest deduction that is disallowed will generally be a pro rata amount which bears the same ratio to such interest expense as the taxpayer’s average unborrowed cash value bears to the sum of the

41

taxpayer's average unborrowed cash value and average adjusted bases of all other assets. Any corporate or business use of the life insurance should be carefully reviewed by your tax adviser with attention to these rules as well as any other rules and possible tax law changes that could occur with respect to corporate-owned life insurance.

Employer-Owned Life Insurance.  The Pension Protection Act of 2006 added a new section to the Code that denies the tax-free treatment of death benefits payable under an employer-owned life insurance contract unless certain notice and consent requirements are met and either (1) certain rules relating to the insured employee’s status are satisfied or (2) certain rules relating to the payment of the “amount received under the contract” to, or for the benefit of, certain beneficiaries or successors of the insured employee are satisfied. The new rules apply to life insurance contracts owned by corporations (including S corporations), individual sole proprietors, estates and trusts and partnerships that are engaged in a trade or business. Any business contemplating the purchase of a Policy on the life of an employee should consult with its legal and tax advisers regarding the applicability of the new legislation to the proposed purchase.

Split Dollar Life Insurance.  A tax adviser should also be consulted with respect to the 2003 split dollar regulations if you have purchased or are considering the purchase of a Policy for a split dollar insurance plan. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new life insurance contract or a change in an existing contract should consult a tax adviser.

Alternative Minimum Tax.  There may also be an indirect tax upon the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the federal corporate alternative minimum tax, if the policy owner is subject to that tax.

Other Employee Benefit Programs.  Complex rules may apply when a Policy is held by an employer or a trust, or acquired by an employee, in connection with the provision of employee benefits. These Policy owners also must consider whether the Policy was applied for by, or issued to, a person having an insurable interest under applicable state law, as the lack of insurable interest 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 death benefits. Employers and employer-created trusts may be subject to reporting, disclosure and fiduciary obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. You should consult your legal adviser.

Policy Loan Interest.  Generally, no tax deduction is allowed for interest paid or accrued on any indebtedness under a Policy.

Our Taxes.  We are taxed as a life insurance company under part I of subchapter L of the Code. The operations of the Series Account are taxed as part of our operations. Investment income and realized capital gains are not taxed to the extent that they are applied under the Policies. As a result of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, we are generally required to capitalize and amortize certain Policy acquisition expenses over a ten year period rather than currently deducting such expenses. This so-called "deferred acquisition cost" tax ("DAC tax") applies to the deferred acquisition expenses of a Policy and results in a significantly higher corporate income tax liability for Great-West. We reserve the right to adjust the amount of a charge to Premium to compensate us for these anticipated higher corporate income taxes.

A portion of the expense charges applied to Premium is used to offset the federal, state or local taxes that we incur which are attributable to the Series Account or the Policy. We reserve the right to adjust the amount of this charge.

Summary.

• We do not make any guarantees about the Policy's tax status.

• We believe the Policy will be treated as a life insurance contract under federal tax laws.

• Death benefits generally are not subject to federal income tax.

• Investment gains are normally not taxed unless distributed to you before the Insured dies.

• If you pay more Premiums than permitted under the seven-pay test, your Policy will be a MEC.

• If your Policy becomes a MEC, partial withdrawals, Policy loans and surrenders may incur taxes and tax penalties.

Corporate Tax Shelter Requirements

The Company does not believe that any purchase of a Policy by an Owner pursuant to this offering will be subject to the tax shelter registration, customer list or reporting requirements under the Code and implementing regulations.

42

All Owners that are corporations are advised to consult with their own tax and/or legal counsel and advisers, to make their own determination as to the applicability of the disclosure requirements of IRC § 6011 and Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4 to their federal income tax returns.

Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings that would have an adverse material effect on the Series Account or on GWFS. Great-West is engaged in various kinds of routine litigation that, in our judgment, is not material to its total assets or material with respect to the Series Account.

Legal Matters

Beverly A. Byrne, Chief Compliance Officer & Legal Counsel, Financial Services, of Great-West, has passed upon all matters of Colorado law pertaining to the Policy, including the validity of the Policy and our right to issue the Policy under Colorado law. The law firm of Jorden Burt LLP, 1025 Thomas Jefferson St., N.W., Suite 400 East , Washington, D.C. 20007-5208, serves as special counsel to Great-West with regard to the federal securities laws.

Financial Statements

Great-West’s consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), should be considered only as bearing on our ability to meet our obligations with respect to the death benefit and our assumption of the mortality and expense risks. They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the Fund shares held in the Series Account.

The SAI is a document that includes additional information about the Series Account, including the financial statements of both Great-West and of each of the Divisions of the Series Account. The SAI is incorporated by reference as a matter of law into the prospectus, which means that it is legally part of the prospectus. The SAI is available upon request, without charge. To request the SAI or other information about the Policy, or to make any inquires about the Policy, contact Great-West toll-free at 888-353-2654 or via email at keybizdirect@gwl.com.

Information about the Series Account (including the SAI) can be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the SEC at 202-551-8090. Reports and other information about the Series Account are available on the SEC’s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov.

Key Business VUL — Prospectus

A Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policy

offered by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

in connection with its COLI VUL-2 Series Account

This prospectus describes a flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy (the “Policy”) offered by Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“Great-West,” “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”). The Policy offered under this prospectus is no longer issued to new purchasers. The Policy offered under this prospectus has not been offered for sale since April 30, 2011; however, you may make additional Premium payments as permitted under your Policy.

The Policy is designed for use by corporations and employers to provide life insurance coverage in connection with, among other things, deferred compensation plans and employer-financed insurance purchase arrangements. The Policy is designed to meet the definition of a "life insurance contract" for federal income tax purposes.

The Policy allows “you,” the Owner, within certain limits to:

• choose the type and amount of insurance coverage you need and increase or decrease that coverage as your insurance needs change;

• choose the amount and timing of Premium payments, within certain limits;

• allocate Premium payments among the available investment options and Transfer Account Value among available investment options as your investment objectives change; and

• access your Account Value through loans and partial withdrawals or total surrenders.

This prospectus contains important information you should understand before purchasing a Policy, including a description of the material rights and obligations under the Policy. We use certain special terms that are defined in Appendix A. Your Policy and any endorsements are the formal contractual agreement between you and the Company. It is important that you read the Policy and endorsements which reflect other variations. You should keep this prospectus on file for future reference. The Policy that we are currently issuing, Key Business VUL II, is offered under a separate prospectus.

The Policy and Fixed Account endorsement (and optional Term Life Insurance Rider) that we issued until April 30, 2011 became available on January 1, 2009. The Policy and optional Term Life Insurance Rider described in this prospectus are based on state-required 2001 CSO mortality tables, as defined below. Before January 1, 2009, we issued an earlier version of the Policy (“Pre-2009 Policy”) and optional Rider, which were based on 1980 CSO mortality tables. Many of the Pre-2009 Policies and optional Riders still remain outstanding. The Pre-2009 Policy differs somewhat from the Policy that we issued until April 30, 2011, and certain of the information in this prospectus, therefore, does not apply to those Pre-2009 Policies. Appendix B to this prospectus explains the information that applies instead to the Pre-2009 Policy and Pre-2009 optional Rider. Therefore, if you own a Pre-2009 Policy (issued prior to January 1, 2009), you should also refer to Appendix B at the end of this prospectus for information about how your Pre-2009 Policy and optional Rider differs from the Policy that we issued until April 30, 2011.

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is May 1, 2012

Summary of the Policy and its Benefits

This is a summary of some of the most important features of your Policy. The Policy is more fully described in the remainder of this prospectus. Please read this prospectus carefully. Unless otherwise indicated, the description of the Policy in this prospectus assumes that the Policy is in force, there is no Policy Debt and current federal tax laws apply.

1.  Corporate-Owned Variable Life Insurance.  We will issue Policies to corporations and employers and to certain individuals to provide life insurance coverage in connection with, among other things, deferred compensation plans and employer-financed insurance purchase arrangements. We will issue Policies on the lives of prospective Insureds who meet our underwriting standards.

2.  The Series Account.  We have established a separate account to fund the variable benefits under the Policy. The assets of the Series Account are insulated from the claims of our general creditors.

3.  Premium Payments.  You must pay us an Initial Premium to put your Policy in force. The minimum Initial Premium will vary based on various factors, including the age of the Insured and the death benefits option you select, but may not be less than $100.00. Thereafter, you choose the amount and timing of Premium payments, within certain limits.

4.  Fixed Account.  You may allocate some or all of your net payments and/or make Transfers from the Sub-Accounts to the Fixed Account. The Fixed Account is part of our General Account. We own the assets in the General Account, and we use these assets to support our insurance and annuity obligations other than those funded by our separate accounts. These Fixed Account assets are subject to our general liabilities from business operations. Subject to applicable law, we have sole discretion over investment of the Fixed Account assets. We bear the full investment risk for all amounts allocated or transferred to the Fixed Account.

We guarantee that the amounts allocated to the Fixed Account will be credited interest at a net effective annual interest rate of at least 3.00%, the minimum interest rate provide in your Policy. At our discretion, we will review the interest rate at least once a year. We may reset the interest rate monthly. The Fixed Account is not affected by the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts. Policy value in the Fixed Account will be reduced by the Policy fees and charges we deduct and the effects of any Policy transactions (loans, withdrawals, and Transfers) on your Policy value in the Fixed Account.

5.  Free Look Period.  You may return your Policy to us for any reason within ten days of receiving it, or such longer period as required by applicable state law (in some states, up to 30 days for replacement policies),, and depending on state law, receive (i) the greater of your Premiums, less any withdrawals, or your Account Value, or (ii) your Account Value plus the return of any expense charges deducted. The money you contribute to the Policy will be invested at your direction, except that in some states during your free look period your Premiums will be allocated to the Maxim Money Market Division.

6.  Investment Options and Funds.  You may allocate your net Premium payments among the available investment divisions (“Divisions”) or the Fixed Account.

Each Division invests exclusively in shares of a single Fund. Each Fund has its own distinct investment objective and policies, which are described in the accompanying prospectuses for the Funds.

You may Transfer amounts from one Division to another or the Fixed Account, subject to the restrictions described herein.

7.  Death Benefit.  You may choose from among two death benefit options –

1. a fixed benefit equal to the Total Face Amount of your Policy; or

2. a variable benefit equal to the sum of the Total Face Amount and your Account Value.

For each option, the death benefit may be greater if necessary to satisfy federal tax law requirements.

5

We will deduct any outstanding Policy Debt and unpaid Policy charges before we pay a death benefit. In addition, prior partial withdrawals may reduce the Death Benefit Proceeds under the first option.

At any time, you may increase or decrease the Total Face Amount, subject to our approval and other requirements set forth in the Policy.

After the first Policy Year, you may change your death benefit option once each Policy Year.

8.  Account Value.  Your Account Value will reflect –

1. the Premiums you pay;

2. the investment performance of the Divisions you select;

3. the value of the Fixed Account.

4. any Policy loans or partial withdrawals;

5. your Loan Account balance; and

6. the charges we deduct under the Policy.

9.  Accessing Your Account Value.  You may borrow from us using your Account Value as collateral. Loans may be treated as taxable income if your Policy is a “modified endowment contract” (“MEC”) for federal income tax purposes and you have had positive net investment performance.

There are no surrender charges associated with your Policy. You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender Value plus return of expense charge, if applicable. The return of expense charge is a percentage of your Account Value and is described in greater detail on page xx.

You may withdraw a portion of your Account Value at any time while your Policy is in force.

A withdrawal may reduce your death benefit.

We will charge an administrative fee not greater than $25 per withdrawal on partial withdrawals after the first in a Policy Year.

10.  Supplemental Benefits.  The following optional riders are available –

1. term life insurance; and

2. change of Insured.

We will deduct the cost, if any, of the rider(s) from your Account Value on a monthly basis.

11.  Paid-Up Life Insurance.  If the Insured reaches Attained Age 121 and your Policy is in force, the Account Value, less Policy Debt, will be applied as a single Premium to purchase "paid-up" insurance. Your Account Value will remain in the Series Account allocated to the Divisions or the Fixed Account in accordance with your instructions. The death benefit under this paid-up insurance will be fixed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”) for Insureds age 99. As your Account Value changes based on the investment experience of the Divisions, the death benefit will increase or decrease accordingly.

12.  Reinstatement.  If your Policy terminates due to insufficient value, we will reinstate it within three years at your Request, subject to certain conditions.

13.  Surrenders.  You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Insured is living. If you do, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the Policy will terminate.

If you withdraw part of the Cash Surrender Value, your Policy’s death benefit may be reduced and you may incur taxes and tax penalties.

6

14.  Partial Withdrawal.  You may Request a partial withdrawal of Account Value at any time while the Policy is in force. The amount of any partial withdrawal must be at least $500 and may not exceed 90% of your Account Value less the value of the Loan Account.

The Death Benefit Proceeds and your Account Value will be reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawals.

15.  Policy Loans.  You may borrow from us using your Account Value as collateral. You may Request a Policy loan of up to 90% of your Account Value, decreased by the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the Policy loan is made.

The minimum Policy loan amount is $500.

16.  Changes in Total Face Amount.  You may increase or decrease the Total Face Amount of your Policy at any time. Each increase or decrease in the Total Face Amount must be at least $25,000. Minimum face amount is $100,000.

17.  Target Premium.  Your target Premium is actuarially determined and will depend on the initial Total Face Amount of your Policy, your Issue Age, your sex (except in unisex states), and rating class (if any) and equals the maximum Premium payable such that the Policy remains compliant with the Code. The target Premium is used to determine your expense charged applied to the Premium and the sales compensation we pay. Payment of the target premium does not guarantee that your Policy will not lapse, and you may need to pay additional Premiums to keep your Policy in force. Each increase to the Total Face Amount is considered to be a new segment to the Policy. Each segment will have a separate target Premium associated with it.

18.  State Variations.  Policies issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this prospectus because of state law variations. These differences include, among other things, free look rights, issue age limitations, and the general availability of riders. This prospectus describes the material rights and obligations of an Owner, and the maximum fees and charges for all Policy features and benefits are set forth in the fee table of this prospectus. See your policy for specific variations because any such state variations will be included in your policy or in riders or endorsements attached to your policy. See your agent or contact us for specific information that is applicable to your state.

Policy Risks

1.  Account Value Not Guaranteed.  Your Account Value is not guaranteed. Your Account Value fluctuates based on the performance of the investment options you select. The investment options you select may not perform to your expectations. Your Account Value may also be affected by charges under your Policy.

2.  Not Suitable as Short-Term Savings Vehicle.  The Policy is designed for long-term financial planning. Accordingly, you should not purchase the Policy if you need access to the Account Value within a short time. Before purchasing a Policy, consider whether the long-term nature of the Policy is consistent with the purposes for which it is being considered.

3.  Risk of Contract Lapse.  Your Policy may terminate if your Account Value at the beginning of any Policy Month is insufficient to pay the Policy’s monthly charges.

If your Policy would terminate due to insufficient value, we will send you notice and allow you a 61-day grace period.

If, within the grace period, you do not make a Premium payment sufficient to cover all accrued and unpaid charges and deductions, your Policy will terminate at the end of the grace period without further notice.

4.  Limitations on Withdrawals.  Partial withdrawals of Account Value are permitted at any time the Policy is in force. As noted above, the amount of any partial withdrawal must be at least $500 and may not exceed 90% of your Account Value less the value of the Loan Account. A maximum administrative fee of $25 will be deducted from your Account Value for all partial withdrawals after the first made in the same Policy Year. Please note that withdrawals reduce your Account Value and your Death Benefit Proceeds. In addition, withdrawals may have tax consequences.

7

5.  Limitations on Transfers.  Subject to our rules as they may exist from time to time, you may at any time Transfer to another Division all or a portion of the Account Value allocated to a Division. Certain limitations apply to Transfers into and out of the Fixed Account. See "Fixed Account Transfers" on page xx.

6.  Limitations or Charges on Surrender of Policy.  You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Insured is living. Upon surrender of your Policy, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the Policy will terminate.

There are no surrender charges associated with your Policy. However, the surrender of your Policy may have tax consequences.

7.  Risks of Taking a Policy Loan.  As noted above, you may Request a Policy loan of up to 90% of your Account Value, decreased by the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the Policy loan is made. The minimum Policy loan amount is $500.

Taking a Policy loan may increase the risk that your Policy will lapse, will reduce your Account Value, and may reduce the death benefit. In addition, if your Policy is a MEC for tax purposes, taking a Policy loan may have tax consequences.

8.  Adverse Tax Consequences.  Your Policy is structured to meet the definition of a life insurance contract under the Code. Current federal tax law generally excludes all death benefits from the gross income of the Beneficiary of a life insurance policy. Generally, you are not taxed on any increase in the Account Value until it is withdrawn, but are taxed on surrender proceeds and the proceeds of any partial withdrawals if those amounts, when added to all previous non-taxable distributions, exceed the total Premium paid. Amounts received upon surrender or withdrawals in excess of Premiums are treated as ordinary income.

Under certain circumstances, a Policy may become a MEC for federal tax purposes. This may occur if you reduce the Total Face Amount of your Policy or pay excessive Premiums. We will monitor your Premium payments and other Policy transactions and notify you if a payment or other transaction might cause your Policy to become a MEC without your written permission. We will not invest any Premium or portion of a Premium that would cause your Policy to become a MEC, but instead will promptly refund the money to you. If you elect to have a MEC contract, you can return the money to us with a signed form of acceptance.

Under current tax law, Death Benefit Proceeds under MECs generally are excluded from the gross income of the Beneficiary. Withdrawals and Policy loans, however, are treated first as income, to the extent of any gain, and then as a return of Premium. The income portion of the distribution is includable in your taxable income and taxed at ordinary income tax rates. A 10% penalty tax is also generally imposed on the taxable portion of any amount received before age 59  ¹/2.

Fund Risks

The Policy currently offers several variable investment options, each of which is a Division of the Series Account. Each Division uses its assets to purchase, at their net asset value, shares of a Fund. The Divisions are referred to as “variable” because their investment experience depends upon the investment experience of the Funds in which they invest.

We do not guarantee that the Funds will meet their investment objectives. Your Account Value may increase or decrease in value depending on the investment performance of the Funds. You bear the risk that those Funds may not meet their investment objectives. A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each Fund may be found in each Fund’s prospectus, including detailed information concerning investment objectives, strategies, and their investment risk. You may obtain a copy of the Fund prospectuses without charge by contacting us at 888-353-2654. If you received a summary prospectus for a Fund, please follow the directions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the Fund's prospectus.

Description of Depositor, Registrant, and Funds

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

Great-West is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the state of Colorado. Our offices are located at 8515 East Orchard Road, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111.

We are authorized to do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. We issue individual and group life insurance policies and annuity contracts and accident and health insurance policies.

Great-West is a wholly owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial, Inc., a Delaware holding company. GWL&A Financial, Inc. is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc., a Canadian holding company. Great-West Lifeco Inc. is a subsidiary of Power Financial Corporation, a Canadian holding company with substantial interests in the financial services industry. Power Financial Corporation is a subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada, a Canadian holding and management company. Mr. Paul Desmarais, through a group of private holding companies that he controls, has voting control of Power Corporation of Canada.

The Series Account

The Series Account is a segregated asset account of Great-West. We use the Series Account to fund benefits payable under the Policy. The Series Account may also be used to fund benefits payable under other life insurance policies issued by us.

We own the assets of the Series Account, which we hold separate and apart from our General Account assets. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to the Series Account are credited to or charged against the Series Account without regard to our other income, gains or losses. The income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, the Series Account reflect the Series Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of Great-West’s other assets. The assets of the Series Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of Great-West other than those arising from the Policies (and any other life insurance policies issued by us and funded by the Series Account).

In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including Series Account assets that are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits, which reduce our overall corporate income tax liability may include dividends received deductions and foreign tax credits which can be material. We do not pass these benefits through to the Series Account or our other separate accounts, principally because: (i) the great bulk of the benefits results from the dividends received deduction, which involves no reduction in the dollar amount of dividends that the Series Account receives; and (ii) under applicable income tax law, Owners are not the owners of the assets generating the benefits.

Great-West is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Owners under the Policies (and any other life insurance policies issued by us and funded by the Series Account).

We will at all times maintain assets in the Series Account with a total market value at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities relating to the variable benefits under all policies participating in the Series Account.

The Series Account is divided into Divisions. Each Division invests exclusively in shares of a corresponding Fund. We may in the future add new or delete existing Divisions. The income, gains or losses, realized or unrealized, from assets allocated to each Division are credited to or charged against that Division without regard to the other income, gains or losses of the other Divisions.

All amounts allocated to a Division will be used to purchase shares of the corresponding Fund. The Divisions will at all times be fully invested in Fund shares. We maintain records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the Funds.

The Investment Options and Funds

The Policy offers a number of Divisions or Sub-Accounts. Each Division invests in a single Fund. Each Fund is a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), or a separate

12

series of shares of such a mutual fund. More comprehensive information, including a discussion of potential risks, is found in the current prospectuses for the Funds. The fund prospectuses should be read in connection with this prospectus. YOU MAY OBTAIN A PROSPECTUS AND, IF AVAILABLE, A FUND SUMMARY, CONTAINING COMPLETE INFORMATION ON EACH FUND, WITHOUT CHARGE, UPON REQUEST BY CONTACTING US AT 888-353-2654. If you received a summary prospectus for a Fund, please follow the directions on the first page of the summary prospectus to obtain a copy of the Fund's prospectus.

Each Fund holds its assets separate from the assets of the other Funds, and each Fund has its own distinct investment objective and policies. Each Fund operates as a separate investment fund, and the income, gains and losses of one Fund generally have no effect on the investment performance of any other Fund.

The Funds are NOT available to the general public directly. The Funds are available as investment options in variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies or, in some cases, through participation in certain qualified pension or retirement plans.

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

Payments We Receive.  Some of the Funds’ investment advisers or affiliates may compensate us for providing the administrative, recordkeeping and reporting services they would normally be required to provide for individual shareholders or cost savings experienced by the investment advisers or affiliates of the Funds. Such compensation is typically a percentage of Series Account assets invested in the relevant Fund and generally may range up to 0.35% of net assets. GWFS Equities, Inc. (“GWFS”), a broker-dealer and subsidiary of Great-West and the principal underwriter and distributor of the Policy, may also receive Rule 12b-1 fees (ranging up to 0.25%) directly from certain Funds for providing distribution related services related to shares of Funds offered in connection with a Rule 12b-1 plan. If GWFS receives 12b-1 fees, combined compensation for administrative and distribution related services generally ranges up to 0.60% annually of Series Account assets invested in a Fund.

If you purchased the Policy through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Funds and their related companies may pay the intermediary for services provided with regard to the sale of Fund shares to the Divisions under the Policy. The amount and/or structure of the compensation can possibly create conflict of interest as it may influence the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to present this Policy (and certain Divisions under the Policy) over other investment alternatives. The variations in compensation, however, may also reflect differences in sales effort or ongoing customer services expected of the broker-dealer or other intermediary or your salesperson. You may ask your salesperson about variations and how he or she and his or her broker-dealer are compensated for selling the Policy or visit your financial intermediary's Web site for more information.

Payments We Make.  In addition to the direct cash compensation described above for sales of the Policies, Great-West and/or its affiliates may also pay GWFS agents additional cash and non-cash incentives to promote the sale of the Policies and other products distributed by GWFS, including Portfolios of Maxim Series Fund, which are available Funds under the Policies. Great-West and/or its affiliates may sponsor various contests and promotions subject to applicable FINRA regulations in which GWFS agents may receive prizes such as travel awards, merchandise and cash. Subject to applicable FINRA regulations, Great-West and/or its affiliates may also pay for travel expenses, meals, lodging and entertainment of salespersons in connection with educational and sales promotional programs and sponsor speakers, educational seminars and charitable events.

Cash incentive payments may vary depending on the arrangement in place at any particular time. Cash incentives payable to GWFS agents may be based on certain performance measurements, including a percentage of the net amount invested in certain Funds available under the Policy. These additional payments could be viewed as creating conflicts of interest. In some cases, the payment of incentive-based compensation may create a financial incentive for a GWFS agent to recommend or sell the Policy instead of other products or recommend certain Funds under the Policy over other Funds, which may not necessarily be to your benefit.

You should contact your representative for further information on the availability of the Divisions.

Each Fund is subject to certain investment restrictions and policies that may not be changed without the approval of a majority of the shareholders of the Fund. See the Fund prospectuses for further information.

We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gain distributions from the Funds in shares of the distributing Fund at their net asset value. The income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on the assets of each Division are separate and are credited to, or charged against, the particular Division without regard to income, gains or losses from any other Division or from any other part of our business. We will use amounts you allocate to a Division to purchase shares in the corresponding Fund and will redeem shares in the Funds to meet Policy obligations or make adjustments in reserves. The Funds are required to redeem their shares at net asset value and to make payment within seven days.

The Funds may also be available to separate accounts offering variable annuity, variable life products and qualified plans of other affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies, as well as our other separate accounts. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to this, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of the Series Account and one or more of the other separate accounts participating in the Funds. A conflict may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, differences in the voting instructions of Owners and those of other companies, or some other reason. In the event of conflict, we will take any steps necessary to protect Owners, including withdrawal of the Series Account from participation in the Funds that are involved in the conflict or substitution of shares of other Funds.

Voting.  We are the legal owner of all shares of the Funds held in the Divisions of the Series Account. In general, you do not have a direct right to vote the Fund shares held in the Divisions of the Series Account. However, under current law, you are entitled to give us instructions on how to vote the shares held in the Divisions. At regular and special shareholder meetings, we will vote the shares held in the Divisions in accordance with those instructions received from Owners who have an interest in the respective Divisions.

We will vote shares held in each Division for which no timely instructions from Owners are received, together with shares not attributable to a Policy, in the same proportion as those shares in that Division for which instructions are received.

The number of shares in each Division for which instructions may be given by an Owner is determined by dividing the portion of the Account Value derived from participation in that Division, if any, by the value of one share of the corresponding Fund. We will determine the number as of the record date chosen by the Fund. Fractional votes are counted. Voting instructions will be solicited in writing at least 14 days prior to the shareholders' meeting.

We may, if required by state insurance regulators, disregard voting instructions if those instructions would require shares to be voted so as to cause a change in the sub-classification or investment policies of one or more of the Funds, or to approve or disapprove an investment management contract. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions that would require changes in the investment policies or investment adviser, provided that we reasonably disapprove of those changes in accordance with applicable federal regulations. If we disregard voting instructions, we will advise you of that action and our reasons for it in our next communication to Owners.

22

This description reflects our current view of applicable federal securities law. Should the applicable federal securities laws change so as to permit us to vote shares held in the Series Account in our own right, we may elect to do so.

Fixed Account

The Fixed Account is part of our General Account. We assume the risk of investment gain or loss on this amount. All assets in the General Account are subject to our general liabilities from business operations. The Fixed Account does not participate in the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts.

The Fixed Account is not registered with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933. Neither the Fixed Account nor the General Account have been registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. As a result, neither the Fixed Account nor the General Account are generally subject to regulation under either Act. However, certain disclosures may be subject to generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws regarding the accuracy of statements made in registration statements.

The Fixed Account offers a guarantee of principal, after deductions for fees and expenses. We also guarantee that the amounts you allocate to the Fixed Account will earn interest at a rate of at least the minimum guaranteed interest rate indicated in your Policy. We do not rely on predetermined formulas to set Fixed Account interest rates. We will review the interest rate at least once a year, but at the Company’s discretion we may reset the interest rate monthly.

The Fixed Account may not be available in all states.

Employer-Financed Insurance Purchase Arrangements -- Tax and Other Legal Issues

In addition to corporations and other employers, the Policy is also available for purchase by individuals whose employers will pay some or all of the Premiums due under the Policy pursuant to an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement. In such cases, references in this prospectus to the “Owner” of the Policy will refer to the individual and, depending on the context, references to the “payment of premiums” will refer to payments to Great-West under the Policy by the employer and/or by the employee.

Employers and employees contemplating the purchase of a Policy as a part of an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement should consult qualified legal and tax counsel with regard to the issues presented by such a transaction. For this purpose, an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement is a plan or arrangement which contemplates that an employer will pay one or more Premiums for the purchase of a Policy that will be owned, subject to certain restrictions, by an employee or by a person or entity designated by the employee.

The general considerations applicable to such a purchase include the following:

1. Payments by the employer under an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement will only be deductible for income tax purposes when the payments are taxable to the employee with respect to whom they are made.

2. Imposition of certain types of restrictions, specifically a substantial risk of forfeiture, on the purchased Policy may defer both the deductibility of the payments to the employer and their taxability to the employee.

3. The payment of some or all of the Premiums by the employer may create an ERISA welfare benefit plan which is subject to the reporting, disclosure, fiduciary and enforcement provisions of ERISA.

4. The payment of some or all of the Premiums by the employer will not prevent the Owner from being treated as the owner of the Policy for federal income tax purposes.

5. Under some circumstances, the failure of the employer to make one or more of the planned Premiums under the Policy may cause a lapse of the Policy.

23

6. An employee considering whether to participate in an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement should consider whether the financial and tax benefits of the ownership of the Policy outweigh the costs, such as sales loads and cost of insurance charges that will be incurred as a result of the purchase and ownership of the Policy.

7. An employee considering whether to participate in an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement should consider whether the designation of another person or entity as the owner of the Policy will have adverse consequences under applicable gift, estate, or inheritance tax laws.

8. An employee considering whether to participate in an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement should consider whether the financial performance of the Policy will support any planned withdrawals or borrowings under the Policy.

9. In an employer-financed insurance purchase arrangement, the procedures described below on page xx are designed to prevent or minimize market timing and excessive trading by Owners may, in certain circumstances, require us to perform standardized trade monitoring; in other circumstances such monitoring will be performed by the Fund. Certain Funds require us to provide reports of the Owner’s trading activity, if prohibited trading, as defined by the Fund, is suspected. The determination of whether there is prohibited trading based on the Funds’ definition of prohibited trading may be made by us or by the Fund. The Fund determines the restrictions imposed, which could be one of the four restrictions described on page 40 or by restricting the Owner from making Transfers into the identified Fund for the period of time specified by the Fund.

Charges and Deductions

Expense Charge Applied to Premium.  We will deduct a maximum charge of 10% from each Premium payment, which is broken down as follows. A maximum of 6.5% will be deducted as sales load to compensate us in part for sales and promotional expenses in connection with selling the Policies, such as commissions, the cost of preparing sales literature, other promotional activities and other direct and indirect expenses. A maximum of 3.5% of Premium will be used to cover Premium taxes and certain federal income tax obligations resulting from the receipt of Premiums. All states and some cities and municipalities impose taxes on Premiums paid for life insurance, which generally range from 2% to 4% of Premium but may exceed 4% in some states. The amount of your state's Premium tax may be higher or lower than the amount attributable to Premium taxes that we deduct from your Premium payments.

The current expense charge applied to Premium for sales load is 5.5% of Premium up to target and 3.0% of Premium in excess of target for Policy Years 1 through 10. Your target Premium will depend on the initial Total Face Amount of your Policy, your Issue Age, your sex (except in unisex states), and rating class (if any) which equals the maximum Premium payable under the seven-pay test such that the Policy remains compliant with section 7702A of the Code. Thereafter, there is no charge for sales load. The current expense charge applied to Premium to cover our Premium taxes and the federal tax obligation described above is 3.5% in all Policy Years.

Where permitted by applicable state insurance law and for corporate owned policies only, if your Policy is surrendered for the Surrender Benefit (Account Value less any outstanding Policy loans and less accrued loan interest) within the first six Policy Years, we will return a percentage of the expense charge. The return of expense charge will be a percentage of your Account Value on the date the Request for surrender was received by us at our Corporate Headquarters. This amount will be in addition to the Surrender Benefit.

The return of expense charge is based on the following:

Policy Year	Percentage of Account Value Returned
Year 1	6%
Year 2	5%
Year 3	4%
Year 4	3%
Year 5	2%
Year 6	1%
Year 7+	0%

As described under the heading "Term Life Insurance Rider" on page xx, we may offer a term life insurance rider that may have the effect of reducing the sales charge you pay on purchasing an equivalent amount of insurance. We offer this rider in circumstances that result in the savings of sales and distribution expenses and administrative costs. To qualify, a corporation, employer, or other purchaser must satisfy certain criteria such as, for example, the number of Policies it expects to purchase and the expected Total Face Amount under all such Policies. Generally, the sales contacts and effort and administrative costs per Policy depend on factors such as the number of Policies purchased by a single Owner, the purpose for which the Policies are purchased, and the characteristics of the proposed Insureds. The amount of reduction and the criteria for qualification are related to the sales effort and administrative costs resulting from sales to a qualifying Owner. Great-West from time to time may modify on a uniform basis both the amounts of reductions and the criteria for qualification. Reductions in these charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected Owners funded by the Series Account.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge.  This charge is for the mortality and expense risks we assume with respect to the Policy. It is based on an annual rate that we apply against each Division of the Series Account on a daily basis. We convert the mortality and expense risk charge into a daily rate by dividing the annual rate by 365. The mortality and expense risk charge will be determined by us from time to time based on our expectations of future interest, mortality experience, persistency, expenses and taxes, but will not exceed 0.90% annually. Currently, the charge is 0.40% for Policy Years 1 through 5, 0.25% for Policy Years 6 through 20 and 0.10% thereafter.

The mortality risk we assume is that the group of lives insured under the Policies may, on average, live for shorter periods of time than we estimated. The expense risk we assume is that the costs of issuing and administering Policies may be more than we estimated.

Monthly Deduction.  We make a monthly deduction from your Account Value on the Policy Date and the first day of each Policy Month. This monthly deduction will be charged proportionally to the amounts in the Divisions.

The monthly deduction equals the sum of (1), (2), (3) and (4) where:

(1) is the cost of insurance charge (the monthly risk charge) equal to the current monthly risk rate (described below) multiplied by the net amount at risk divided by 1,000;

(2) is the service charge;

(3) is the monthly cost of any additional benefits provided by riders which are a part of your Policy; and

(4) is any extra risk charge if the Insured is in a rated class as specified in your Policy.

The net amount at risk equals:

• the death benefit divided by 1.00327374; less

• your Account Value on the first day of a Policy Month prior to assessing the monthly deduction.

If there are increases in the Total Face Amount other than increases caused by changes in the death benefit option, the monthly deduction described above is determined separately for the initial Total Face Amount and each increase in the Total Face Amount. In calculating the net amount at risk, your Account Value will first be allocated to the most recent increase in the death benefit and then to each increase in the Total Face Amount in the reverse order in which the increases were made.

Monthly Risk Rates.  The monthly risk rate is used to determine the cost of insurance charge (monthly risk charge) for providing insurance coverage under the Policy. The monthly risk rate is applied to the amount at risk. The monthly risk rates (except for any such rate applicable to an increase in the Total Face Amount) are based on the length of time your Policy has been in force and the Insured's sex (in the case of non-unisex Policies) and Issue Age. If the Insured is in a rated class as specified in your Policy, we will deduct an extra risk charge that reflects that class rating. The monthly risk rates applicable to each increase in the Total Face Amount are based on the length of time the increase has been in force and the Insured's sex (in the case of non-unisex Policies), Issue Age, and class rating, if any. The monthly risk rates will be determined by us from time to time based on our expectations of future experience with respect to mortality, persistency, interest rates, expenses and taxes, but will not exceed the guaranteed maximum monthly risk rates based on the 2001 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary, Age Nearest Birthday, Male/Female, Smoker/Non-Smoker Ultimate Mortality Table (“2001 CSO”). Currently, the guaranteed

25

minimum monthly risk charge is $0.02 per $1000 and the guaranteed maximum is $83.33 per $1000. If your Policy is issued in Montana, unisex rates are charged and these rates will never exceed the male Smoker Ultimate Mortality Table.

The guaranteed maximum monthly risk rates reflect any class rating applicable to the Policy. We have filed a detailed statement of our methods for computing Account Values with the insurance department in each jurisdiction where the Policy was delivered. These values are equal to or exceed the minimum required by law.

The monthly risk rate is greater on policies that require less underwriting to be performed regardless of the health of the individual. Monthly risk rate charges will be greatest on guaranteed issue policies, followed by simplified issue policies, then fully underwritten policies.

Service Charge.  We will deduct a maximum of $15 from your Account Value on the first day of each Policy Month to cover our administrative costs, such as salaries, postage, telephone, office equipment and periodic reports. This charge may be increased or decreased by us from time to time based on our expectations of future expenses, but will never exceed $15 per Policy Month. The service charge will be deducted proportionally from the Divisions. The current service charge is $10 per Policy Month for Policy Years 1 through 3 and $7.50 per Policy Month thereafter.

Transfer Fee.  A maximum administrative charge of $10 per Transfer of Account Value from one Division to other Divisions will be deducted from your Account Value for all Transfers in excess of 12 made in the same Policy Year. The allocation of your Initial Premium from the Maxim Money Market Division to your selected Divisions will not count toward the 12 free Transfers. Similarly, Transfers made under dollar cost averaging and periodic rebalancing under the rebalancer option are not subject to the fee and do not count as Transfers for this purpose (except a one-time rebalancing under the rebalancer option will count as one Transfer). All Transfers Requested on the same Business Day will be aggregated and counted as one Transfer. The current charge is $10 per Transfer.

Partial Withdrawal Fee.  A maximum administrative fee of $25 will be deducted from your Account Value for all partial withdrawals after the first made in the same Policy Year. The partial withdrawal fee will be deducted proportionally from all Divisions.

Surrender Charges. Your Policy has no surrender charges.

Change of Death Benefit Option Fee.  A maximum administrative fee of $100 will be deducted from your Account Value each time you change your death benefit option. The change of death benefit fee will be deducted proportionally from all Divisions.

Fund Expenses.  You indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Funds whose shares are held by the Divisions to which you allocate your Account Value. The Series Account purchases shares of the Funds at net asset value. Each Fund's net asset value reflects investment advisory fees and administrative expenses already deducted from the Fund's assets. For more information concerning the investment advisory fees and other charges against the Funds, see the Fund prospectuses and the statements of additional information for the Funds, which are available upon Request.

We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or administrators of the Funds. Such compensation will be consistent with the services we provide or the cost savings resulting from the arrangement and, therefore, may differ between Funds. See “Payments We Receive” on page xx.

General Description of Policy

Unless otherwise indicated, the description of the Policy in this prospectus assumes that the Policy is in force, there is no Policy Debt and current federal tax laws apply. The Policy described in this prospectus is offered to corporations and other employers to provide life insurance coverage in connection with, among other things, deferred compensation plans and employer-financed insurance purchase arrangements. We issue Policies on the lives of prospective Insureds who meet our underwriting standards.

Policy Rights

Owner.  While the Insured is alive, unless you have assigned any of these rights, you may:

• transfer ownership to a new Owner;

• name a contingent owner who will automatically become the Owner of the Policy if you die before the Insured;

• change or revoke a contingent owner;

• change or revoke a Beneficiary (unless a previous Beneficiary designation was irrevocable);

• exercise all other rights in the Policy;

• increase or decrease the Total Face Amount, subject to the other provisions of the Policy; and

• change the death benefit option, subject to the other provisions of the Policy.

When you transfer your rights to a new Owner, you automatically revoke any prior contingent owner designation. When you want to change or revoke a prior Beneficiary designation, you have to specify that action. You do not affect a prior Beneficiary when you merely transfer ownership, or change or revoke a contingent owner designation.

You do not need the consent of a Beneficiary or a contingent owner in order to exercise any of your rights. However, you must give us written notice satisfactory to us of the Requested action. Your Request will then, except as otherwise specified herein, be effective as of the date you signed the form, subject to any action taken before it was received by us.

Beneficiary.  The Beneficiary has no rights in the Policy until the death of the Insured, except an irrevocable Beneficiary cannot be changed without the consent of that Beneficiary. If a Beneficiary is alive at that time, the Beneficiary will be entitled to payment of the Death Benefit Proceeds as they become due.

Policy Limitations

Allocation of Net Premiums.  Except as otherwise described herein, your net Premium will be allocated in accordance with the allocation percentages you select. Percentages must total 100% and can be up to two decimal places.

We will credit Premium payments received prior to the end of the free look period as described in the “Free Look Period” section of this prospectus on page xx.

You may change your allocation percentages at any time by Request.

Transfers Among Divisions.  Subject to our rules as they may exist from time to time, you may at any time after the Free-Look Period Transfer to another Division all or a portion of the Account Value allocated to a Division. We will make Transfers pursuant to a Request.

Transfers may be Requested by indicating the Transfer of either a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Division's value from which the Transfer will be made.

Transfer privileges are subject to our consent. We reserve the right to impose limitations on Transfers, including, but not limited to: (1) the minimum amount that may be Transferred; and (2) the minimum amount that may remain in a Division following a Transfer from that Division.

A fee of $10 per Transfer will apply for all Transfers in excess of 12 made in a Policy Year. We may increase or decrease the Transfer charge; however, it is guaranteed to never exceed $10 per Transfer. All Transfers Requested on the same Business Day will count as only one Transfer toward the 12 free Transfers. The Transfer of your Initial

27

Premium from the Maxim Money Market Portfolio Division to your selected Divisions does not count toward the 12 free Transfers. Likewise, any Transfers under dollar cost averaging or periodic rebalancing of your Account Value under the rebalancer option do not count toward the 12 free Transfers (a one time rebalancing, however, will be counted as one Transfer).

Fixed Account Transfers.  Transfers into the Fixed Account are limited to once every 60 days. Transfers from the Fixed Account may only be made once per year. The maximum to be transferred out will be the greater of 25% of your balance in the Fixed Account or the amount of the transfer in the previous 365 day period.

Market Timing & Excessive Trading.  The Policies are intended for long-term investment and not for the purpose of market timing or excessive trading activity. Market timing activity may dilute the interests of Owners in the Funds. Market timing generally involves frequent or unusually large transfers that are intended to take advantage of short-term fluctuations in the value of a Fund's portfolio securities and the reflection of that change in the Fund's share price. In addition, frequent or unusually large transfers may harm performance by increasing Fund expenses and disrupting Fund management strategies. For example, excessive trading may result in forced liquidations of portfolio securities or cause the Fund to keep a relatively higher cash position, resulting in increased brokerage costs and lost investment opportunities.

We maintain procedures designed to discourage market timing and excessive trading by Owners. As part of those procedures, we will rely on the Funds to monitor for such activity. If a Fund believes such activity has occurred, we will scrutinize the Owner’s activity and request a determination from the Fund as to whether such activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading. If the Fund determines that the activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will contact the Owner in writing to request that market timing and/or excessive trading stop immediately. We will then provide a subsequent report of the Owner's trading activity to the Fund. If the Fund determines that the Owner has not ceased improper trading, and upon request of the Fund, we will inform the Owner in writing that a trading restriction is being implemented. The four possible trading restrictions are:

• Restrict the Owner to inquiry-only access for the web and voice response unit so that the Owner will only be permitted to make Transfer Requests by written Request mailed to us through U.S. mail ("U.S. Mail Restriction"); the Owner will not be permitted to make Transfer Requests via overnight mail, fax, the web, or the call center. Once the U.S. Mail Restriction has been in place for 180 days, the restricted Owner may Request that we lift the U.S. Mail Restriction by signing, dating and returning a form to us whereby the Owner acknowledges the potentially harmful effects of market timing and/or excessive trading on Funds and other investors, represents that no further market timing or excessive trading will occur, and acknowledges that we may implement further restrictions, if necessary, to stop improper trading by the Owner;

• Close the applicable Fund to all new monies, including contributions and Transfers in;

• Restrict all Owners to one purchase in the applicable Fund per 90 day period; or

• Remove the Fund as an investment option and convert all allocations in that Fund to a different investment option.

The discretionary nature of our procedures creates a risk that we may treat some Owners differently than others.

Our market timing and excessive trading procedures are such that we do not impose trading restrictions unless or until a Fund first detects and notifies us of potential market timing or excessive trading activity. Accordingly, we cannot prevent all market timing or excessive trading transfer activity before it occurs, as it may not be possible to identify it unless and until a trading pattern is established. To the extent the Funds do not detect and notify us of market timing and/or excessive trading or the trading restrictions we impose fail to curtail it, it is possible that a market timer or excessive trader may be able to make market timing and/or excessive trading transactions with the result that the management of the Funds may be disrupted and the Owners may suffer detrimental effects such as increased costs, reduced performance, and dilution of their interests in the affected Funds.

We endeavor to ensure that our procedures are uniformly and consistently applied to all Owners, and we do not exempt any Owners from these procedures. In addition, we do not enter into agreements with Owners whereby we permit market timing or excessive trading. Subject to applicable state law and the terms of each Policy, we reserve the right without prior notice to modify, restrict, suspend or eliminate the Transfer privileges (including telephone Transfers) at any time, to require that all Transfer Requests be made by you and not by your designee, and to require that each Transfer Request be made by a separate communication to us. We also reserve the right to require that each Transfer Request be submitted in writing and be signed by you.

28

The Funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. The prospectuses for the Funds should describe any such policies and procedures. The frequent trading policies and procedures of a Fund may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other Funds and the policies and procedures we have adopted to discourage market timing and excessive trading. For example, a Fund may impose a redemption fee. Owners should also be aware that we may not have the contractual obligation or the operational capacity to apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective Funds that would be affected by the Transfers.

We may revise our market timing and excessive trading policy and related procedures at our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements or to impose additional or alternative restrictions on Owners engaging in market timing or excessive trading. In addition, our orders to purchase shares of the Funds are generally subject to acceptance by the Fund, and in some cases a Fund may reject or reverse our purchase order. Therefore, we reserve the right to reject any Owner's Transfer Request if our order to purchase shares of the Fund is not accepted by, or is reversed by, an applicable Fund.

You should note that other insurance companies and retirement plans may invest in the Funds and that those companies or plans may or may not have their own policies and procedures on frequent transfers. You should also know that the purchase and redemption orders received by the Funds generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans or separate accounts funding variable insurance contracts. Omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and/or individual owners of variable insurance contracts. The nature of such orders may limit the Funds' ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures. As a result, there is a risk that the Funds may not be able to detect potential market timing and/or excessive trading activities in the omnibus orders they receive. We cannot guarantee that the Funds will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans and/or other insurance companies that invest in the Funds. If the policies and procedures of other insurance companies or retirement plans fail to successfully discourage frequent transfer activity, it may affect the value of your investments in the Funds. In addition, if a Fund believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more Transfer Requests from an Owner engaged in frequent transfer activity, the Fund may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby interfere with our ability to satisfy your Request even if you have not made frequent transfers. For Transfers into more than one investment option, we may reject or reverse the entire Transfer Request if any part of it is not accepted by or is reversed by a Fund.

Exchange of Policy.  You may exchange your Policy for a new policy issued by Great-West that does not provide for variable benefits. The new policy will have the same Policy Date, Issue Age, and Insured as your Policy on the date of the exchange. The exchange must be made within 24 Policy Months after the Issue Date of your Policy and all Policy Debt must be repaid.

The cash value of your current Policy will be applied to the new policy as the Initial Premium.

Age Requirements. An Insured's Issue Age must be between 20 and 85 for Policies issued on a fully underwritten basis and between 20 and 70 for Policies issued on a guaranteed underwriting or a simplified underwriting basis.

P olicy or Registrant Changes

Addition, Deletion or Substitution of Investment Options.  Shares of any or all of the Funds may not always be available for purchase by the Divisions of the Series Account, or we may decide that further investment in any such shares is no longer appropriate. In either event, shares of other registered open-end investment companies or unit investment trusts may be substituted both for Fund shares already purchased by the Series Account and/or as the security to be purchased in the future, provided that these substitutions have been approved by the SEC, to the extent necessary. We also may close a Division to future Premium allocations and Transfers of Account Value. A Division closing may affect dollar cost averaging and the rebalancer option. We reserve the right to operate the Series Account in any form permitted by law, to take any action necessary to comply with applicable law or obtain and continue any exemption from applicable laws, to assess a charge for taxes attributable to the operation of the Series Account or for other taxes, as described in “Charges and Deductions” beginning on page xx of this prospectus, and

29

to change the way in which we assess other charges, as long as the total other charges do not exceed the maximum guaranteed charges under the Policies. We also reserve the right to add Divisions, or to eliminate or combine existing Divisions or to Transfer assets between Divisions, or from any Division to our General Account. In the event of any substitution or other act described in this paragraph, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect the change.

Entire Contract.  Your entire contract with us consists of the Policy, including the attached copy of your application and any attached copies of supplemental applications for increases in the Total Face Amount, any endorsements and any riders. Any illustrations prepared in connection with the Policy do not form a part of our contract with you and are intended solely to provide information about how values under the Policy, such as Cash Surrender Value, death benefit and Account Value, will change with the investment experience of the Divisions, and such information is based solely upon data available at the time such illustrations are prepared.

Alteration.  Sales representatives do not have any authority to either alter or modify your Policy or to waive any of its provisions. The only persons with this authority are our president, secretary, or one of our vice presidents.

Modification.  Upon notice to you, we may modify the Policy if such a modification –

• is necessary to make the Policy or the Series Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are, or the Series Account is, subject;

• is necessary to assure continued qualification of the Policy under the Code or other federal or state laws as a life insurance policy;

• is necessary to reflect a change in the operation of the Series Account or the Divisions; or

• adds, deletes or otherwise changes Division options.

We also reserve the right to modify certain provisions of the Policy as stated in those provisions. In the event of any such modification, we may make appropriate amendment to the Policy to reflect such modification.

Assignments.  During the lifetime of the Insured, you may assign all or some of your rights under the Policy. All assignments must be filed at our Corporate Headquarters and must be in written form satisfactory to us. The assignment will then be effective as of the date you signed the form, subject to any action taken before we received it. We are not responsible for the validity or legal effect of any assignment.

Notice and Elections.  To be effective, all notices and elections under the Policy must be in writing, signed by you, and received by us at our Corporate Headquarters. Certain exceptions may apply. Unless otherwise provided in the Policy, all notices, Requests and elections will be effective when received at our Corporate Headquarters complete with all necessary information.

Account Value

Your Account Value is the sum of your interests in each Division you have chosen, plus your interests in the Fixed Account, plus the amount in your Loan Account. The Account Value varies depending upon the Premiums paid, expense charges applied to Premium, mortality and expense risk charge, service charges, monthly risk charges, partial withdrawals, fees, Policy loans and the net investment factor (described below) for the Divisions to which your Account Value is allocated and the interest credited to the Fixed Account.

We measure the amounts in the Divisions in terms of Units and Unit Values. On any given date, your interest in a Division is equal to the Unit Value multiplied by the number of Units credited to you in that Division. Amounts allocated to a Division will be used to purchase Units of that Division. Units are redeemed when you make partial withdrawals, undertake Policy loans or Transfer amounts from a Division, and for the payment of service charges, monthly risk charges and other fees. The number of Units of each Division purchased or redeemed is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the Unit Value for the Division. The Unit Value for each Division was established at $10 for the first Valuation Date of the Division. The Unit Value for any subsequent Valuation Date is equal to the Unit Value for the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by the net investment factor (determined as provided below). The Unit Value of a Division for any Valuation Date is determined as of the close of the Valuation Period ending on that Valuation Date.

30

Transactions are processed on the date we receive a Premium at our Corporate Headquarters or upon approval of a Request. If your Premium or Request is received on a date that is not a Valuation Date, or after the close of the NYSE on a Valuation Date, the transaction will be processed on the next Valuation Date.

The Account Value attributable to each Division of the Series Account on the Policy Date equals:

• that portion of net Premium received and allocated to the Division, plus

• that portion of net Premium received and allocated to the Fixed Account, less

• the service charges due on the Policy Date, less

• the monthly risk charge due on the Policy Date, less

• the monthly risk charge for any riders due on the Policy Date.

We apply your Initial Premium on the Policy Date, which will be the Issue Date (if we have already received your Initial Premium) or the Business Day we receive a Premium equal to, or in excess of, the Initial Premium after we have approved your application.

The Account Value attributable to each Division of the Series Account on the subsequent Valuation Dates is equal to:

• the Account Value attributable to the Division on the preceding Valuation Date multiplied by that Division's net investment factor, plus

• that portion of net Premium received and allocated to the Division during the current Valuation Period, plus

• that portion of the value of the Loan Account Transferred to the Division upon repayment of a Policy loan during the current Valuation Period, plus

• any amounts Transferred by you to the Division from another Division during the current Valuation Period, less

• any amounts Transferred by you from the Division to another Division during the current Valuation Period, less

• that portion of any partial withdrawals deducted from the Division during the current Valuation Period, less

• that portion of any Account Value Transferred from the Division to the Loan Account during the current Valuation Period, less

• that portion of fees due in connection with a partial withdrawal charged to the Division, less

• if the first day of a Policy Month occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the service charge for the Policy Month just beginning charged to the Division, less

• if the first day of a Policy Month occurs during the current Valuation Period, that portion of the monthly risk charge for the Policy Month just beginning charged to the Division, less

• if the first day of a Policy Month occurs during the current Valuation Period, that Division's portion of the cost for any riders and any extra risk charge if the Insured is in a rated class as specified in your Policy, for the Policy Month just beginning.

Net Investment Factor.  The net investment factor for each Division for any Valuation Period is determined by deducting the mortality and expense risk charge for each day in the Valuation Period from the quotient of (1) and (2) where:

(1) is the net result of:

• the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Division determined as of the end of the current Valuation Period, plus

• the per share amount of any dividend or other distribution declared on Fund shares held in the Division if the “ex-dividend” date occurs during the current Valuation Period, plus or minus

• a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes incurred by or reserved for, or paid by us if not previously reserved for, during the current Valuation Period which are determined by us to be attributable to the operation of the Division; and

(2) is the net result of:

• the net asset value of a Fund share held in the Division determined as of the end of the preceding Valuation Period, plus or minus

• a per share credit or charge with respect to any taxes incurred by or reserved for, or paid by us if not previously reserved for, during the preceding Valuation Period which are determined by us to be attributable to the operation of the Division.

31

The Fixed Account Value is:

• Premiums, less expense charges, allocated to the Fixed Account; plus

• Sub-Account Value transferred to the Fixed Account; plus

• Interest credited to the Fixed Account; minus

• Partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account including any applicable partial withdrawal charges; minus

• The portion of any accrued policy fees and charges allocated to the Fixed Account;

• Loans from the Fixed Account; minus

• Transfers from the Fixed Account, including any applicable transfer charges

During any Policy Month the Fixed Account Value will be calculated on a consistent basis. For purposes of crediting interest, policy value deducted, transferred or withdrawn from the Fixed Account is accounted for on a first in first out basis.

The mortality and expense risk charge for the Valuation Period is the annual mortality and expense risk charge divided by 365 multiplied by the number of days in the Valuation Period.

The net investment factor may be greater or less than or equal to one.

S plitting Units.  We reserve the right to split or combine the value of Units. In effecting any such change, strict equity will be preserved and no such change will have a material effect on the benefits or other provisions of your Policy.

Other Provisions and Benefits

Misstatement of Age or Sex (Non-Unisex Policy).  If the age or (in the case of a non-unisex Policy) sex of the Insured is stated incorrectly in your Policy application or rider application, we will adjust the amount payable appropriately as described in the Policy.

If we determine that the Insured was not eligible for coverage under the Policy after we discover a misstatement of the Insured's age, our liability will be limited to a return of Premiums paid, less any partial withdrawals, any Policy Debt, and the cost for riders.

Suicide.  If the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after your Policy's Issue Date (one year if your Policy is issued in Colorado or North Dakota), we will not pay any part of the Death Benefit Proceeds. We will pay the Beneficiary the Premiums paid, less the amount of any Policy Debt, any partial withdrawals and the cost for riders.

If the Insured, whether sane or insane, commits suicide within two years after the effective date of an increase in the Total Face Amount (one year if your Policy is issued in Colorado or North Dakota), then our liability as to that increase will be the cost of insurance for that increase and that portion of the Account Value attributable to that increase. The Total Face Amount of the Policy will be reduced to the Total Face Amount that was in effect prior to the increase.

Incontestability.  All statements made in the application or in a supplemental application are representations and not warranties. We relied and will continue to rely on those statements when approving the issuance, increase in face amount, increase in death benefit over Premium paid, or change in death benefit option of the Policy. In the absence of fraud, we can use no statement in defense of a claim or to cancel the Policy for misrepresentation unless the statement was made in the application or in a supplemental application. In the absence of fraud, after the Policy has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for a period of two years from its Issue Date, we cannot contest it except for non-payment of Premiums. However, any increase in the Total Face Amount which is effective after the Issue Date will be incontestable only after such increase has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the effective date of coverage of such increase.

Paid-Up Life Insurance.  When the Insured reaches Attained Age 121 (if your Policy is in force at that time), the entire Account Value of your Policy (less outstanding Policy Debt) will be applied as a single Premium to purchase "paid-up" insurance. Outstanding Policy Debt will be repaid at this time. This repayment may be treated as a taxable

32

distribution to you if your Policy is not a MEC. The net single Premium for this insurance will be based on the 2001 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary, Sex Distinct, Non-Smoker Mortality Table and 4% interest. The cash value of your paid-up insurance, which initially is equal to the net single Premium, will remain in the Divisions of the Series Account in accordance with your then current allocation. While the paid-up life insurance is in effect your assets will remain in the Series Account. You may change your Division allocation instructions and you may Transfer your cash value among the Divisions. All charges under your Policy, to the extent applicable, will continue to be assessed, except we will no longer make a deduction each Policy Month for the monthly risk charge. Your death benefit will be fixed by the Code for insured age 99. As your cash value changes based on the investment experience of the Divisions, the death benefit will increase or decrease accordingly. You may surrender the paid-up insurance Policy at any time and, if surrendered within 30 days of a Policy Anniversary, its cash value will not be less than it was on that Policy Anniversary. Please see “Federal Income Tax Considerations -- Treatment When Insured Reaches Attained Age 121” on page xx.

Supplemental Benefits.  The following supplemental benefit riders are available, subject to certain limitations. An additional monthly risk charge will be assessed for each rider that is in force as part of the monthly deduction from your Account Value. If a supplemental benefit rider is terminated, the monthly risk charge for such rider will end immediately. See fee tables beginning on page x.

Term Life Insurance Rider.  This rider provides term life insurance on the Insured. Coverage is renewable annually until the Insured's Attained Age 121. The amount of coverage provided under this rider varies from month to month as described below. We will pay the rider's death benefit to the Beneficiary when we receive Due Proof of death of the Insured while this rider is in force.

This rider provides the same three death benefit options as your Policy. The option you choose under the rider must at all times be the same as the option you have chosen for your Policy. The rider's death benefit will be determined at the beginning of each Policy Month in accordance with one of those options. For each of the options, any outstanding Policy Debt will reduce your death benefit.

If you purchase this rider, the Total Face Amount shown on your Policy's specifications page will be equal to the minimum amount of coverage provided by this rider plus the base face amount (which is the minimum death benefit under your Policy without the rider’s death benefit). The minimum allocation of Total Face Amount between your Policy and the rider is 10% and 90% at inception, respectively. The total Death Benefit Payable under the rider and the Policy will be determined as described in "Death Benefit" below, using the Total Face Amount shown on your Policy’s specifications page.

Coverage under this rider will take effect on the latter of:

• the Policy Date of the Policy to which this rider is attached; or

• the date this rider is delivered and the first rider premium is paid to the Company

The monthly risk rate for this rider will be the same as that used for the Policy and the monthly risk charge for the rider will be determined by multiplying the monthly risk rate by the rider's death benefit. This charge will be calculated on the first day of each Policy Month and added to the Policy's monthly risk charge.

If you purchase this rider, the sales load and return of expense charge will be proportionately lower as a result of a reduction in commission payments. Commissions payable to sales representatives for the sale of the Policy are calculated based on the total Premium payments. As a result, this rider generally is not offered in connection with any Policy with annual Premium payments of less than $100,000, except for policies issued on a guaranteed issue basis. In our discretion, we may decline to offer this rider or refuse to consent to a proposed allocation of coverage between a Policy and term rider.

If this rider is offered, the commissions will vary depending on the allocation of your coverage between the Policy and the term rider. The same initial Death Benefit will result in the highest commission when there is no term rider, with the commission declining as the portion of the Death Benefit coverage allocated to the term rider increases. Thus, the lowest commission amount is payable, and the lowest amount of sales load deducted from your Premiums will occur, when the maximum term rider is purchased.

33

You may terminate this rider by Request. This rider also will terminate on the earliest of the following dates:

• the date the Policy is surrendered or terminated;

• the expiration of the grace period of the Policy; or

• the death of the Insured.

Change of Insured Rider.  This rider permits you to change the Insured under your Policy or any Insured that has been named by virtue of this rider. Before we change the Insured you must provide us with (1) a Request for the change signed by you and approved by us; (2) Evidence of Insurability for the new Insured; (3) evidence that there is an insurable interest between you and the new Insured; (4) evidence that the new Insured's age, at the nearest birthday, is under 70 years; and (5) evidence that the new Insured was born prior to the Policy Date. We may charge a fee for administrative expenses when you change the Insured. The minimum charge is $100 per change and the maximum charge is $400 per change. When a change of Insured takes effect, Premiums will be based on the new Insured's age, sex, mortality class and the Premium rate in effect on the Policy Date.

Report to Owner.  We will maintain all records relating to the Series Account and the Divisions and the Fixed Account. We will send you a report at least once each Policy Year within 30 days after a Policy Anniversary. The report will show current Account Value, current allocation in each Division, death benefit, Premiums paid, investment experience since your last report, deductions made since the last report, and any further information that may be required by laws of the state in which your Policy was issued. It will also show the balance of any outstanding Policy loans and accrued interest on such loans. There is no charge for this report.

In addition, we will send you the financial statements of the Funds and other reports as specified in the 1940 Act. We also will mail you confirmation notices or other appropriate notices of Policy transactions quarterly or more frequently within the time periods specified by law. Please give us prompt written notice of any address change. Please read your statements and confirmations carefully and verify their accuracy and contact us promptly with any questions.

Dollar Cost Averaging.  By Request, you may elect dollar cost averaging in order to purchase Units of the Divisions over a period of time. There is no charge for this service.

Dollar cost averaging permits you to automatically Transfer a predetermined dollar amount, subject to our minimum, at regular intervals from any one or more designated Divisions to one or more of the remaining, then available Divisions. The Unit Value will be determined on the dates of the Transfers. You must specify the percentage to be Transferred into each designated Division. Transfers may be set up on any one of the following frequency periods: monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or annually. The Transfer will be initiated one frequency period following the date of your Request. We will provide a list of Divisions eligible for dollar cost averaging that may be modified from time to time. Amounts Transferred through dollar cost averaging are not counted against the 12 free Transfers allowed in a Policy Year. You may not participate in dollar cost averaging and the rebalancer option (described below) at the same time. Participation in dollar cost averaging does not assure a greater profit, or any profit, nor will it prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate dollar cost averaging at any time.

Rebalancer Option.  By Request, you may elect the rebalancer option in order to automatically Transfer Account Value among the Divisions on a periodic basis. There is no charge for this service. This type of transfer program automatically reallocates your Account Value so as to maintain a particular percentage allocation among Divisions chosen by you. The amount allocated to each Division will grow or decline at different rates depending on the investment experience of the Divisions. Rebalancing does not change your Premium allocation unless that option is checked on the rebalancer Request. Your Premium allocation can also be changed by written Request at the address on the first page of this prospectus.

You may Request that rebalancing occur one time only, in which case the Transfer will take place on the date of the Request. This Transfer will count as one Transfer towards the 12 free Transfers allowed in a Policy Year.

You may also choose to rebalance your Account Value on a quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis, in which case the first Transfer will be initiated one frequency period following the date of your Request. On that date, your Account Value will be automatically reallocated to the selected Divisions. Thereafter, your Account Value will be rebalanced once each frequency period. In order to participate in the rebalancer option, your entire Account Value must be included. Transfers made with these frequencies will not count against the 12 free Transfers allowed in a Policy Year.

34

You must specify the percentage of Account Value to be allocated to each Division and the frequency of rebalancing. You may terminate the rebalancer option at any time by Request.

You may not participate in the rebalancer option and dollar cost averaging at the same time. Participation in the rebalancer option does not assure a greater profit, or any profit, nor will it prevent or necessarily alleviate losses in a declining market. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or terminate the rebalancer option at any time.

Non-Participating.  The Policy does not pay dividends.

Premiums

Policy Application, Issuance and Initial Premium.  To purchase a Policy, you must submit an application to our Corporate Headquarters. We will then follow our underwriting procedures designed to determine the insurability of the applicant. We may require full underwriting, which includes a medical examination and further information, before your application may be approved. We also may offer the Policy on a simplified underwriting or guaranteed issue basis. Applicants must be acceptable risks based on our applicable underwriting limits and standards. We will not issue a Policy until the underwriting process has been completed to our satisfaction. We reserve the right to reject an application for any lawful reason or to "rate" an Insured as a substandard risk, which will result in increased monthly risk rates. The monthly risk rate also may vary depending on the type of underwriting we use.

You must specify certain information in the application, including the Total Face Amount, the death benefit option and supplemental benefits, if any. The Total Face Amount generally may not be decreased below $100,000.

Upon approval of the application, we will issue to you a Policy on the life of the Insured. A specified Initial Premium must be paid before we issue the Policy. The effective date of coverage for your Policy (which we call the “Policy Date”) will be the date we receive a Premium equal to or in excess of the specified Initial Premium after we have approved your application. If your Premium payment is received on the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month, the Policy will be dated the 28th of that month.

We generally do not accept Premium payments before approval of an application; however, at our discretion, we may elect to do so. While your application is in underwriting, if we accept your Premium payment before approval of your application, we will provide you with temporary insurance coverage in accordance with the terms of our temporary insurance agreement. In our discretion, we may limit the amount of Premium we accept and the amount of temporary coverage we provide. If we approve your application, we will allocate your Premium payment to the Series Account or Fixed Account on the Policy Date, as described below. Otherwise, we will promptly return your payment to you. We will not credit interest to your Premium payment for the period while your application is in underwriting.

We reserve the right to change the terms or conditions of your Policy to comply with differences in applicable state law. Variations from the information appearing in this prospectus due to individual state requirements are described in supplements that are attached to this prospectus or in endorsements to the Policy, as appropriate.

Free Look Period.  During the free look period (ten days or longer where required by state law), you may cancel your Policy. If you exercise the free look privilege, you must return the Policy to our Corporate Headquarters or to the representative from whom you purchased the Policy.

Generally, net Premium will be allocated to the Divisions you selected on the application. However, under certain circumstances described below, the net Premium will first be allocated to the Maxim Money Market Division and remain there until the next Valuation Date following the end of the free look period. On that date, the Sub-Account value held in the Maxim Money Market Division will be allocated to the Division(s) selected by you. If your Premium payments are received after 4:00 PM EST/EDT, such payments will be credited on the next Valuation Date. Regardless of when the payment is credited, you will receive the utilized values from the date we received your payment.

35

During the free look period, you may change your Division allocations and your allocation percentages, however depending on whether your state permits the immediate investment of your premium, changes made during the free look period may not take effect until after the free look period has expired.

Policies returned during the free look period will be void from the Issue Date. In some states, we will refund your current Account Value plus the return of any expense charges deducted. In those states, this amount may be higher or lower than your Premium payments, which means you bear the investment risk during the free look period.

Certain states require that we return the greater of your Account Value (less any surrenders, withdrawals and distributions already received) or the amount of the Premiums received. In those states, we will allocate your net Premium payments to the Maxim Money Market Division. We will Transfer the Account Value in that Division to the other Divisions of the Series Account in accordance with your most recent allocation instructions on file at the end of the free look period.

Premium.  All Premium payments must be made payable to “Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company” and mailed to our Corporate Headquarters. The Initial Premium will be due and payable on or before your Policy's Issue Date. The minimum Initial Premium will vary based on various factors, including the age of the Insured and the death benefits option you select, but may not be less than $100. You may pay additional Premium payments to us in the amounts and at the times you choose, subject to the limitations described below. To find out whether your Premium payment has been received, contact us at the address or telephone number shown on the first page of this prospectus.

We reserve the right to limit the number of Premium payments we accept on an annual basis. No Premium payment may be less than $100 per Policy without our consent, although we will accept a smaller Premium payment if necessary to keep your Policy in force. We reserve the right to restrict or refuse any Premium payments that exceed the Initial Premium amount shown on your Policy. We also reserve the right not to accept a Premium payment that causes the death benefit to increase by an amount that exceeds the Premium received. Evidence of insurability satisfactory to us may be required before we accept any such Premium.

We will not accept Premium payments that would, in our opinion, cause your Policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under applicable federal tax law. If a Premium payment is made in excess of these limits, we will accept only that portion of the Premium within those limits, and will refund the remainder to you.

Net Premiums.  The net Premium is the amount you pay as the Premium less any expense charges applied to Premiums. See “Charges and Deductions – Expense Charge Applied to Premium,” on page xx.

Planned Periodic Premiums.  While you are not required to make additional Premium payments according to a fixed schedule, you may select a planned periodic Premium schedule and corresponding billing period, subject to our limits. We will send you reminder notices for the planned periodic Premium, unless you Request to have reminder notices suspended. You are not required, however, to pay the planned periodic Premium; you may increase or decrease the planned periodic Premium subject to our limits, and you may skip a planned payment or make unscheduled payments. Depending on the investment performance of the Divisions you select, the planned periodic Premium may not be sufficient to keep your Policy in force, and you may need to change your planned payment schedule or make additional payments in order to prevent termination of your Policy.

Death Benefits

Death Benefit.  If your Policy is in force at the time of the Insured's death, we will pay the Beneficiary an amount based on the death benefit option you select once we have received Due Proof of the Insured's death. The amount payable will be:

• the amount of the selected death benefit option, less

• the value of any Policy Debt on the date of the Insured's death, less

• any accrued and unpaid Policy charges.

We will pay this amount to the Beneficiary in one lump sum, unless the Beneficiary and we agree on another form of settlement. We will pay interest, at a rate not less than that required by law, on the amount of Death Benefit Proceeds, if payable in one lump sum, from the date of the Insured's death to the date of payment.

36

In order to meet the definition of life insurance under the Code, section 7702 of the Code defines alternative testing procedures for the minimum death benefit under a Policy. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations - Tax Status of the Policy," on page xx. Your Policy must qualify under the cash value accumulation test (“CVAT”).

Under the CVAT testing procedures, there is a minimum death benefit required at all times equal to your Account Value multiplied by a pre-determined factor. The factors used to determine the minimum death benefit vary by age. The factors (expressed as percentages) used for the CVAT are set forth in your Policy.

The Policy has two death benefit options.

Option 1. The “Level Death” Option. Under this option, the death benefit is –

• the Policy's Total Face Amount on the date of the Insured's death less any partial withdrawals; or, if greater,

• the Account Value on the date of death multiplied by the applicable factor shown in the table set forth in your Policy.

This death benefit option should be selected if you want to minimize your cost of insurance (monthly risk charge).

Option 2. The “Coverage Plus” Option. Under this option, the death benefit is –

• the sum of the Total Face Amount and Account Value of the Policy on the date of the Insured's death less any partial withdrawals; or, if greater,

• the Account Value on the date of death multiplied by the applicable factor shown in the table set forth in your Policy.

This death benefit option should be selected if you want to maximize your death benefit.

Your Account Value and death benefit fluctuate based on the performance of the investment options you select and the expenses and deductions charged to your account. See the “Account Value” and “Charges and Deductions” sections of this prospectus.

There is no minimum death benefit guarantee associated with this Policy.

C hanges in Death Benefit Option.  After the first Policy Year, but not more than once each Policy Year, you may change the death benefit option by Request. Any change will be effective on the first day of the Policy Month following the date we approve your Request. A maximum administrative fee of $100 will be deducted from your Account Value each time you change your death benefit option.

A change in the death benefit option will not change the amount payable upon the death of the Insured on the date of change. Any change is subject to the following conditions:

• If the change is from option 1 to option 2, the new Total Face Amount, at the time of the change, will equal the prior Total Face Amount less the Account Value. Evidence of insurability may be required.

• If the change is from option 2 to option 1, the new Total Face Amount, at the time of the change, will equal the prior Total Face Amount plus the Account Value.

Changes in Total Face Amount.  You may increase or decrease the Total Face Amount of your Policy at any time within certain limits.

Minimum Changes. Each increase or decrease in the Total Face Amount must be at least $25,000. We reserve the right to change the minimum amount by which you may change the Total Face Amount.

Increases in Total Face Amount. To Request an increase in Total Face Amount, you must provide satisfactory evidence of the Insured's insurability. Once approved by us, an increase will become effective on the Policy Anniversary following our approval of your Request, subject to the deduction of the first Policy Month's monthly risk charge, service charge, any extra risk charge if the Insured is in a rated class and the cost of any riders.

Each increase to the Total Face Amount is considered to be a new segment to the Policy. When an increase is approved, Premium is allocated against the original Policy segment up to the seven-pay Premium limit established

37

on the Issue Date. Any excess Premium is then allocated toward the new segment. Each segment will have a separate target Premium associated with it. The expense charge applied to Premium is higher up to target and lower for Premium in excess of the target as described in detail in the “Charges and Deductions” section of this prospectus. The expense charge formula will apply to each segment based on the target Premium for that segment. In addition, each segment will have a new incontestability period and suicide exclusion period as described in the “Other Provisions and Benefits” section of this prospectus.

Decreases in Total Face Amount. A decrease in Total Face Amount will become effective at the beginning of the next Policy Month following our approval of your Request. The Total Face Amount after the decrease must be at least $100,000.

For purposes of the incontestability provision of your Policy, any decrease in Total Face Amount will be applied in the following order:

• first, to the most recent increase;

• second, to the next most recent increases, in reverse chronological order; and

• finally, to the initial Total Face Amount.

Surrenders and Withdrawals

Su rrenders.  You may surrender your Policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the Insured is living. If you do, the insurance coverage and all other benefits under the Policy will terminate. To surrender your Policy, contact us at the address or telephone number shown on the first page of this prospectus. We will send you the paperwork necessary for you to Request the surrender of your Policy. The proceeds of a surrender will be payable within seven days of our receipt of the completed Request.

We will determine your Cash Surrender Value as of the end of the first Valuation Date after we receive your Request for surrender.

If you withdraw part of the Cash Surrender Value, your Policy's death benefit will be reduced and you may incur taxes and tax penalties.

You may borrow from us using your Account Value as collateral.

A surrender may have tax consequences, including tax penalties. See “Federal Income Tax Considerations – Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits,” beginning on page xx of this prospectus.

Partial Withdrawal.  You may Request a partial withdrawal of Account Value at any time while the Policy is in force. The amount of any partial withdrawal must be at least $500 and may not exceed 90% of your Account Value less the value of the Loan Account. A partial withdrawal fee will be deducted from your Account Value for all partial withdrawals after the first made during the same Policy Year. This administrative fee is guaranteed to be no greater than $25. To Request a partial withdrawal, contact us at the address or telephone number shown on the first page of this prospectus. We will send you the paperwork necessary for you to request a withdrawal from your Policy. The proceeds of any such partial withdrawal will be payable within seven days of our receipt of the completed Request.

The Death Benefit Proceeds will be reduced by the amount of any partial withdrawals.

Your Account Value will be reduced by the amount of a partial withdrawal. The amount of a partial withdrawal will be withdrawn from the Divisions in proportion to the amounts in the Divisions bearing on your Account Value. You cannot repay amounts taken as a partial withdrawal. Any subsequent payments received by us will be treated as additional Premium payments and will be subject to our limitations on Premiums.

A partial withdrawal may have tax consequences. See "Federal Income Tax Considerations-- Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits," beginning on page xx of this prospectus.

Loans

Policy Loans.  You may Request a Policy loan of up to 90% of your Account Value, decreased by the amount of any outstanding Policy Debt on the date the Policy loan is made less any accrued loan interest and less the current

38

monthly deductions remaining for the balance of the Policy Year. When a Policy loan is made, a portion of your Account Value equal to the amount of the Policy loan will be allocated to the Loan Account as collateral for the loan. This amount will not be affected by the investment experience of the Series Account while the loan is outstanding and will be subtracted from the Divisions in proportion to the amounts in the Divisions bearing on your Account Value. The minimum Policy loan amount is $500.

The interest rate on the Policy loan will be determined annually, using a simple interest formula, at the beginning of each Policy Year. That interest rate will be guaranteed for that Policy Year and will apply to all Policy loans outstanding during that Policy Year. Interest is due and payable on each Policy Anniversary. Interest not paid when due will be added to the principal amount of the loan and will bear interest at the loan interest rate.

Presently, 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. If the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average ceases to be published, the maximum interest rate for Policy loans will be derived from a substantially similar average adopted by your state's Insurance Commissioner.

We must reduce our Policy loan interest rate if the maximum loan interest rate is lower than the loan interest rate for the previous Policy Year by one-half of one percent or more.

We may increase the Policy loan interest rate but such increase must be at least one-half of one percent. No increase may be made if the Policy loan interest rate would exceed the maximum loan interest rate. We will send you advance notice of any increase in the Policy loan rate.

Interest will be credited to amounts held in the Loan Account using a compound interest formula. The rate will be no less than the Policy loan interest rate then in effect less a maximum of 0.9%.

All payments we receive from you will be treated as Premium payments unless we have received notice, in form satisfactory to us, that the funds are for loan repayment. If you have a Policy loan, it is generally advantageous to repay the loan rather than make a Premium payment because Premium payments incur expense charges whereas loan repayments do not. Loan repayments will first reduce the outstanding balance of the Policy loan and then accrued but unpaid interest on such loans. We will accept repayment of any Policy loan at any time while the Policy is in force. Amounts paid to repay a Policy loan will be allocated to the Divisions in accordance with your allocation instructions then in effect at the time of repayment. Any amount in the Loan Account used to secure the repaid loan will be allocated back to the Sub-Accounts.

A Policy loan, whether or not repaid, will affect the Death Benefit Proceeds, payable upon the Insured's death, and the Account Value because the investment results of the Divisions do not apply to amounts held in the Loan Account. The longer a loan is outstanding, the greater the effect is likely to be, depending on the investment results of the Divisions while the loan is outstanding. The effect could be favorable or unfavorable.

Lapse and Reinstatement

Lapse and Continuation of Coverage.  If you cease making Premium payments, coverage under your Policy and any riders to the Policy will continue until your Account Value, less any Policy Debt, is insufficient to cover the monthly deduction. When that occurs, the grace period will go into effect.

Grace Period.   If the first day of a Policy Month occurs during the Valuation Period and your Account Value, less any Policy Debt, is not sufficient to cover the monthly deduction for that Policy Month, then your Policy will enter the grace period described below. If you do not pay sufficient additional Premiums during the grace period, your Policy will terminate without value.

The grace period will allow 61 days for the payment of Premium sufficient to keep the Policy in force. Any such Premium must be in an amount sufficient to cover deductions for the monthly risk charge, the service charge, the cost for any riders and any extra risk charge if the Insured is in a rated class for the next two Policy Months. Notice of Premium due will be mailed to your last known address or the last known address of any assignee of record at least 31 days before the date coverage under your Policy will cease. If the Premium due is not paid within the grace period, then the Policy and all rights to benefits will terminate without value at the end of the 61-day period. The

39

Policy will continue to remain in force during this grace period. If the Death Benefit Proceeds become payable by us during the grace period, then any due and unpaid Policy charges will be deducted from the amount payable by us.

Termination of Policy.  Your Policy will terminate on the earliest of the date we receive your Request to surrender, the expiration date of the grace period due to insufficient value or the date of death of the Insured. Upon lapse or termination, the Policy no longer provides insurance benefits.

Reinstatement.  Before the Insured's death, we will reinstate your Policy, provided that the Policy has not been surrendered, and provided further that:

• you make your reinstatement Request within three years from the date of termination;

• you submit satisfactory Evidence of Insurability to us;

• you pay an amount equal to the Policy charges which were due and unpaid at the end of the grace period;

• you pay a Premium equal to four times the monthly deduction applicable on the date of reinstatement; and

• you repay or reinstate any Policy loan that was outstanding on the date coverage ceased, including interest at 6.00% per year compounded annually from the date coverage ceased to the date of reinstatement of your Policy.

A reinstated Policy's Total Face Amount may not exceed the Total Face Amount at the time of termination. Your Account Value on the reinstatement date will reflect:

• the Account Value at the time of termination; plus

• net Premiums attributable to Premiums paid to reinstate the Policy; less

• the monthly expense charge; less

• the monthly cost of insurance charge applicable on the date of reinstatement; less

• The expense charge applied to Premium.

The effective date of reinstatement will be the date the application for reinstatement is approved by us.

Deferral of Payment. We will usually pay any amount due from the Series Account within seven days after the Valuation Date following your Request giving rise to such payment or, in the case of death of the Insured, Due Proof of such death. Payment of any amount payable from the Series Account on death, surrender, partial withdrawal, or Policy loan may be postponed whenever:

• the NYSE is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closing, or trading on the NYSE is otherwise restricted;

• the SEC, by order, permits postponement for the protection of Owners; or

• an emergency exists as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable, or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the assets of the Series Account.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following summary provides a general description of the federal income tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. You should consult counsel or other competent tax advisers for more complete information. This discussion is based upon our understanding of the Internal Revenue Service’s (the “IRS”) current interpretation of current federal income tax laws. We make no representation as to the likelihood of continuation of the current federal income tax laws or of the current interpretations by the IRS. We do not make any guarantee regarding the tax status of any Policy or any transaction regarding the Policy.

The Policy may be used in various arrangements, including non-qualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if the use of the Policy in any such arrangement is contemplated, you should consult a qualified tax adviser for advice on the tax attributes and consequences of the particular arrangement.

40

Tax Status of the Policy

A Policy has certain tax advantages when treated as a life insurance contract within the meaning of section 7702 of the Code. We believe that the Policy meets the section 7702 definition of a life insurance contract and will take whatever steps are appropriate and reasonable to attempt to cause the Policy to comply with section 7702. We reserve the right to amend the Policy to comply with any future changes in the Code, any regulations or rulings under the Code and any other requirements imposed by the IRS.

Diversification of Investments.  Section 817(h) of the Code requires that the investments of each Division of the Series Account be “adequately diversified” in accordance with certain Treasury Department regulations. Disqualification of the Policy as a life insurance contract for failure to comply with the diversification requirements would result in the imposition on you of federal income tax at ordinary income tax rates with respect to the earnings allocable to the Policy in the year of the failure and all prior years prior to the receipt of payments under the Policy. We believe that the Divisions will be adequately diversified.

Policy Owner Control.  In connection with its issuance of temporary and proposed regulations under Section 817(h) in 1986, the Treasury Department announced that those regulations did not “provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor (i.e., the Owner), rather than the insurance company to be treated as the owner of the assets in the account” (which would result in the current taxation of the income on those assets to the Owner). In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS provided such guidance by describing the circumstances under which the owner of a variable contract will not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the contract to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes. Rev. Rul. 2003-91 states that the determination of whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances. We do not believe that your ownership rights under the Policy would result in your being treated as the Owner of the assets of the Policy under Rev. Rul. 2003-91. However, we do not know whether additional guidance will be provided by the IRS on this issue and what standards may be contained in such guidance. Therefore, we reserve the right to modify the Policy as necessary to attempt to prevent an Owner from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the assets of the Policy.

The following discussion assumes that your Policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.

Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits

Life Insurance Death Benefit Proceeds.  In general, the amount of the Death Benefit Payable under your Policy is excludible from your Beneficiary’s gross income under the Code.

If the death benefit is not received in a lump sum and is, instead, applied under a proceeds option agreed to by us and the Beneficiary, payments generally will be prorated between amounts attributable to the death benefit, which will be excludible from the Beneficiary's income, and amounts attributable to interest (occurring after the Insured's death), which will be includable in the Beneficiary's income.

Tax Deferred Accumulation.  Any increase in your Account Value is generally not taxable to you. If you receive or are deemed to receive amounts from the Policy before the Insured dies, see the following section entitled “Distributions” for a more detailed discussion of the taxability of such payments.

Depending on the circumstances, any of the following transactions may have federal income tax consequences:

• the exchange of a Policy for a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract;

• a change in the death benefit option;

• a Policy loan;

• a partial surrender;

• a complete surrender;

• a change in the ownership of a Policy;

• a change of the named Insured; or

• an assignment of a Policy.

41

In addition, federal, state and local transfer and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Death Benefit Proceeds will depend on your circumstances and those of the named Beneficiary. Whether partial withdrawals (or other amounts deemed to be distributed) constitute income subject to federal income tax depends, in part, upon whether your Policy is considered a MEC.

Surrenders.  If you surrender your Policy, you will recognize ordinary income to the extent the Account Value exceeds the “investment in the contract,” which is generally the total of Premiums and other consideration paid for the Policy, less all amounts previously received under the Policy to the extent those amounts were excludible from gross income.

Modified Endowment Contracts.  Section 7702A of the Code treats certain life insurance contracts as MECs. In general, a Policy will be treated as a MEC if total Premiums paid at any time during the first seven Policy Years exceed the sum of the net level Premiums which would have been paid on or before that time if the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits after the payment of seven level annual Premiums (“seven-pay test”). In addition, a Policy may be treated as a MEC if there is a "material change" to the Policy.

We will monitor your Premium payments and other Policy transactions and notify you if a payment or other transaction might cause your Policy to become a MEC. We will not invest any Premium or portion of a Premium that would cause your Policy to become a MEC without instruction to do so from you. We will promptly notify you or your agent of the excess cash received. We will not process the Premium payment unless we receive a MEC acceptance form or Policy change form within 48 hours of receipt of the excess funds. If paperwork is received that allows us to process the excess cash, the effective date will be the date of the new paperwork.

Further, if a transaction occurs which decreases the Total Face Amount of your Policy during the first seven years, we will retest your Policy, as of the date of its purchase, based on the lower Total Face Amount to determine compliance with the seven-pay test. Also, if a decrease in Total Face Amount occurs within seven years of a “material change,” we will retest your Policy for compliance as of the date of the "material change." Failure to comply in either case would result in the Policy's classification as a MEC regardless of our efforts to provide a payment schedule that would not otherwise violate the seven-pay test.

The rules relating to whether a Policy will be treated as a MEC are complex and cannot be fully described in the limited confines of this summary. Therefore, you should consult with a competent tax adviser to determine whether a particular transaction will cause your Policy to be treated as a MEC.

Distributions

Distributions Under a Policy That Is Not a MEC.  If your Policy is not a MEC, a distribution is generally treated first as a tax-free recovery of the “investment in the contract,” and then as a distribution of taxable income to the extent the distribution exceeds the "investment in the contract." An exception is made for cash distributions that occur in the first 15 Policy Years as a result of a decrease in the death benefit or other change that reduces benefits under the Policy that are made for purposes of maintaining compliance with section 7702. Such distributions are taxed in whole or part as ordinary income (to the extent of any gain in the Policy) under rules prescribed in section 7702.

If your Policy is not a MEC, Policy loans and loans secured by the Policy are generally not treated as distributions. Such loans are instead generally treated as your indebtedness.

Finally, if your Policy is not a MEC, distributions (including distributions upon surrender), Policy loans and loans secured by the Policy are not subject to the ten percent additional tax applicable to distributions from a MEC.

Distributions Under Modified Endowment Contracts.  If treated as a MEC, your Policy will be subject to the following tax rules:

• First, partial withdrawals are treated as ordinary income subject to ordinary income tax up to the amount equal to the excess (if any) of your Account Value immediately before the distribution over the "investment in the contract" at the time of the distribution.

• Second, Policy loans and loans secured by a Policy are treated as partial withdrawals and taxed accordingly. Any past-due loan interest that is added to the amount of the loan is treated as a loan.

42

• Third, a ten percent additional penalty tax is imposed on that portion of any distribution (including distributions upon surrender), Policy loan, or loan secured by a Policy, that is included in income, except where the distribution or loan is made to a taxpayer that is a natural person, and:

1. is made when the taxpayer is age 59 ¹/2 or older;

2. is attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled; or

3. is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) for the duration of the taxpayer’s life (or life expectancy) or for the duration of the longer of the taxpayer’s or the Beneficiary’s life (or life expectancies).

Multiple Policies.  All MECs issued by us (or our affiliates) to you during any calendar year will be treated as a single MEC for purposes of determining the amount of a Policy distribution that is taxable to you.

Treatment When Insured Reaches Attained Age 121.  As described above, when the Insured reaches Attained Age 121, we will issue you a “paid-up” life insurance Policy. We believe that the paid-up life insurance Policy will continue to qualify as a “life insurance contract” under the Code. However, there is some uncertainty regarding this treatment. It is possible, therefore, that you would be viewed as constructively receiving the Cash Surrender Value in the year in which the Insured attains age 121 and would realize taxable income at that time, even if the Death Benefit Proceeds were not distributed at that time. In addition, any outstanding Policy Debt will be repaid at that time. This repayment may be treated as a taxable distribution to you, if your contract is not a MEC.

The IRS has issued Revenue Procedure 2010-28 providing a safe harbor concerning the application of Sections 7702 and 7702A to life insurance contracts that have mortality guarantees based on the 2001 CSO Table and which may continue in force after an insured attains age 100. If a contract satisfies all the requirements of Sections 7702 and 7702A using all of the Age 100 Safe Harbor Testing Method requirements set forth in Rev. Proc. 2010-28, the IRS will not challenge the qualification of that contract under Sections 7702 and 7702A. Rev. Proc. 2010-28 also states that “No adverse inference should be drawn with respect to the qualification of a contract as a life insurance contract under §7702, or its status as not a MEC under §7702A, merely by reason of a failure to satisfy all of the requirements of [the Age 100 Safe Harbor].”

Federal Income Tax Withholding.  We are required to withhold 10% on that portion of a Policy distribution that is taxable, unless you direct us in writing not to do so at or before the time of the Policy distribution. As the Owner you are responsible for the payment of any taxes and early distribution penalties that may be due on Policy distributions.

Actions to Ensure Compliance with the Tax Law.  We believe that the maximum amount of Premiums we intend to permit for the Policies will comply with the Code definition of a “life insurance contract.” We will monitor the amount of your Premiums, and, if you pay a Premium during a Policy Year that exceeds those permitted by the Code, we will promptly refund the Premium or a portion of the Premium before any allocation to the Funds. We reserve the right to increase the death benefit (which may result in larger charges under a Policy) or to take any other action deemed necessary to ensure the compliance of the Policy with the federal tax definition of a life insurance contract.

Trade or Business Entity Owns or Is Directly or Indirectly a Beneficiary of the Policy.  Where a Policy is owned by other than a natural person, the Owner’s ability to deduct interest on business borrowing unrelated to the Policy can be impacted as a result of its ownership of cash value life insurance. No deduction will be allowed for a portion of a taxpayer’s otherwise deductible interest expense unless the Policy covers only one individual, and such individual is, at the time first covered by the Policy, a 20 percent owner of the trade or business entity that owns the Policy, or an officer, director, or employee of such trade or business.

Although this limitation generally does not apply to Policies held by natural persons, if a trade or business (other than one carried on as a sole proprietorship) is directly or indirectly the Beneficiary under a Policy (e.g., pursuant to a split-dollar agreement), the Policy will be treated as held by such trade or business. The effect will be that a portion of the trade or business entity’s deduction for its interest expenses will be disallowed unless the above exception for a 20 percent owner, employee, officer or director applies.

The portion of the entity’s interest deduction that is disallowed will generally be a pro rata amount which bears the same ratio to such interest expense as the taxpayer’s average unborrowed cash value bears to the sum of the taxpayer’s average unborrowed cash value and average adjusted bases of all other assets. Any corporate or business use of the life insurance should be carefully reviewed by your tax adviser with attention to these rules as well as any other rules and possible tax law changes that could occur with respect to corporate-owned life insurance.

43

Employer-Owned Life Insurance.  The Pension Protection Act of 2006 added a new section to the Code that denies the tax-free treatment of death benefits payable under an employer-owned life insurance contract unless certain notice and consent requirements are met and either (1) certain rules relating to the insured employee’s status are satisfied or (2) certain rules relating to the payment of the “amount received under the contract” to, or for the benefit of, certain beneficiaries or successors of the insured employee are satisfied. The new rules apply to life insurance contracts owned by corporations (including S corporations), individual sole proprietors, estates and trusts and partnerships that are engaged in a trade or business. Any business contemplating the purchase of a Policy on the life of an employee should consult with its legal and tax advisers regarding the applicability of the new legislation to the proposed purchase.

Split Dollar Life Insurance.  A tax adviser should also be consulted with respect to the 2003 split dollar regulations if you have purchased or are considering the purchase of a Policy for a split dollar insurance plan. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new life insurance contract or a change in an existing contract should consult a tax adviser.

Alternative Minimum Tax.  There may also be an indirect tax upon the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a Policy under the federal corporate alternative minimum tax, if the policy owner is subject to that tax.

Other Employee Benefit Programs.   Complex rules may apply when a Policy is held by an employer or a trust, or acquired by an employee, in connection with the provision of employee benefits. These Policy owners also must consider whether the Policy was applied for by, or issued to, a person having an insurable interest under applicable state law, as the lack of insurable interest 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 death benefits. Employers and employer-created trusts may be subject to reporting, disclosure and fiduciary obligations under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. You should consult your legal adviser.

Policy Loan Interest.  Generally, no tax deduction is allowed for interest paid or accrued on any indebtedness under a Policy.

Our Taxes.  We are taxed as a life insurance company under part I of subchapter L of the Code. The operations of the Series Account are taxed as part of our operations. Investment income and realized capital gains are not taxed to the extent that they are applied under the Policies. As a result of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990, we are generally required to capitalize and amortize certain Policy acquisition expenses over a ten year period rather than currently deducting such expenses. This so-called “deferred acquisition cost” tax (“DAC tax”) applies to the deferred acquisition expenses of a Policy and results in a significantly higher corporate income tax liability for Great-West. We reserve the right to adjust the amount of a charge to Premium to compensate us for these anticipated higher corporate income taxes.

A portion of the expense charges applied to Premium is used to offset the federal, state or local taxes that we incur which are attributable to the Series Account or the Policy. We reserve the right to adjust the amount of this charge.

Summary.

• We do not make any guarantees about the Policy's tax status.

• We believe the Policy will be treated as a life insurance contract under federal tax laws.

• Death benefits generally are not subject to federal income tax.

• Investment gains are normally not taxed unless distributed to you before the Insured dies.

• If you pay more Premiums than permitted under the seven-pay test, your Policy will be a MEC.

• If your Policy becomes a MEC, partial withdrawals, Policy loans and surrenders may incur taxes and tax penalties.

Corporate Tax Shelter Requirements

The Company does not believe that any purchase of a Policy by an Owner pursuant to this offering will be subject to the tax shelter registration, customer list or reporting requirements under the Code and implementing regulations.

44

All Owners that are corporations are advised to consult with their own tax and/or legal counsel and advisers, to make their own determination as to the applicability of the disclosure requirements of IRC § 6011 and Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4 to their federal income tax returns.

Legal Proceedings

There are no pending legal proceedings that would have an adverse material effect on the Series Account or on GWFS. Great-West is engaged in various kinds of routine litigation that, in our judgment, is not material to its total assets or material with respect to the Series Account.

Legal Matters

Beverly A. Byrne, Chief Compliance Officer & Legal Counsel, Financial Services, of Great-West, has passed upon all matters of Colorado law pertaining to the Policy, including the validity of the Policy and our right to issue the Policy under Colorado law. The law firm of Jorden Burt LLP, 1025 Thomas Jefferson St., N.W., Suite 400 East, Washington, D.C. 20007-5208, serves as special counsel to Great-West with regard to the federal securities laws.

Financial Statements

Great-West's consolidated financial statements, which are included in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), should be considered only as bearing on our ability to meet our obligations with respect to the death benefit and our assumption of the mortality and expense risks. They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of the Fund shares held in the Series Account.

The SAI is a document that includes additional information about the Series Account, including the financial statements of both Great-West and of each of the Divisions of the Series Account. The SAI is incorporated by reference as a matter of law into the prospectus, which means that it is legally part of the prospectus. The SAI is available upon request, without charge. To request the SAI or other information about the Policy, or to make any inquires about the Policy, contact Great-West toll-free at 888-353-2654 or via email at keybizdirect@gwl.com.

Appendix B –

Information About How a Pre-2009 Policy and Optional Term Insurance Rider

(Issued Prior to January 1, 2009) Differs from the Policy and Optional Rider that

We Issued until April 30, 2011

Prior to January 1, 2009, we issued and earlier version of this Policy (the “Pre-2009 Policy”). The Pre-2009 Policy is no longer offered for sale. However, many Pre-2009 Policies remain outstanding and most of the information in the prospectus is applicable. However, this Appendix B explains the differences between the Pre-2009 Policy from the description in the rest of the prospectus, which describes Policies we issued until April 30, 2011. If you own a Pre-2009 (issued prior to January 1, 2009), you should read this Appendix B for information as to your Pre-2009 Policy differs from the Policy described in the rest of the prospectus.

1. Different Cost of Insurance Charge Amounts

Certain information as to how we calculate the cost of insurance changes for the Policy we issued until April 30, 2011 is set forth under “Monthly Risk Rates” on page XX of the prospectus. That discussion applies to the Pre-2009 policy with one exception. References to the 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary, Age Nearest Birthday, Male/Female, Smoker/Non-Smoker Ultimate Mortality Table do not apply to the Pre-2009 Policy. Instead, these statements would refer to the 1980 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary, Age Nearest Birthday, Male/Female, Smoker/Non-Smoker Ultimate Mortality Table.

The cost of insurance charges under the Pre-2009 Policy differ from those charged under the Policy issued on or after January 1, 2009 as provided in the tables below. Specifically, under the Pre-2009 Policy the minimum cost of insurance charge is $.08 per $1000 and under a Policy issued on or after January 1, 2009, the minimum cost of insurance charge is $.02 per $1000.

2. Fee Tables

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the Pre-2009 Policy. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Pre-2009 Policy, surrender the Pre-2009 Policy, or Transfer cash value between investment options.

Transaction Fees

Charge	When Charge is Deducted	Amount Deducted
Maximum Sales Charge Imposed on Premium	Upon each Premium payment	Maximum: 6.5% of Premium Current: 5.5% of Premium up to target and 3.0% of Premium in excess of target
Partial Withdrawal Fee	Upon partial withdrawal	Maximum: $25 deducted from Account Value for all partial withdrawals after the first made in the same Policy Year.
Change of Death Benefit Option Fee	Upon change of option	Maximum: $100 deducted from Account Value for each change of death benefit option.
Premium Tax	Upon each Premium payment	Maximum: 3.5% of Premium

B-1

Transfer Fee	At time of Transfer for all Transfers in excess of 12 made in the same calendar year	Maximum: $10/Transfer
Loan Interest	Upon issuance of Policy loan	Maximum: the Moody’s Corporate Bond Yield Average – Monthly Average Corporates

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the Pre-2009 Policy, not including Fund fees and expenses.

Periodic Charges Other Than Fund Operating Expenses

Charge	When Charge is Deducted	Amount Deducted
Cost of Insurance (per $1000 Net Amount at Risk)1
Minimum & Maximum Cost of Insurance Charge	Monthly	Guaranteed:       Minimum: $0.08 per $1000.       Maximum: $83.33 per $1000.
Cost of Insurance Charge for a 46-year old Male Non-Smoker, $550,000 Face Amount, Option 1 (Level Death)	Monthly	Guaranteed:       $0.41 per $1000.
Mortality and Expense Risk Fees	Upon each Valuation Date	Guaranteed: 0.90% annually. Current: 0.40% for Policy Years 1-5, 0.25% for Policy Years 6-20, and 0.10% thereafter.
Service Charge	Monthly	Maximum: $15/month Current: $10.00/month, Policy Years 1-3 and $7.50/month, Policy Years 4+

¹ The cost of insurance will vary based on individual characteristics. The cost of insurance shown in the table is a sample illustration only and may not be representative of the charge that a particular Owner of the Pre-2009 Policy will pay. Owners may obtain more information about their particular cost of insurance by contacting us at 888-353-2654.

B-2

Supplemental Benefit Charges

The charges for the rider you selected are deducted monthly from your Account Value as part of the Monthly Deduction described on page XX of this prospectus. The benefits provided under each rider are summarized in “Other Provisions and Benefits” beginning on page XX.

Change of Insured Rider	Upon change of Insured	Minimum: $100 per change.       Maximum: $400 per change.
Change of Insured Rider for a 46-year old  Male Non-Smoker, $550,000 Face Amount, Option 1 (Level Death)		$400 per change.
Term Life Insurance Rider	Monthly	Guaranteed:       Minimum COI: $0.08 per $1000.       Maximum COI: $83.33 per $1000.
Term Life Insurance Rider for a 46-year old Male Non-Smoker, $550,000 Face Amount, Option 1 (Level Death)	Monthly	Guaranteed:       $0.41 per $1000.

3. Paid-Up Life Insurance

For the Pre-2009 Policy, if the Insured reached Attained Age 100 and the Policy is in force, the Account Value, less Policy Debt, will be applied as a single Premium to purchase “paid-up” insurance. This is different from the age disclosed on pages XX, XX and XX of the prospectus for the Policy that we issued until April 30, 2011.

4. Term Life Insurance Rider

For the Pre-2009 Policy, the rider is renewable annually until the Insured’s Attained Age 100. This is different from the age disclosed on page of the prospectus for the Policy that we issued until April 30, 2011. In addition, the cost of insurance charges under the Pre-2009 Policy Term Life Insurance Rider differ from those charged under the Term Life Insurance Rider issued on or after January 1, 2009 as provided in the table above. Specifically, under the Pre-2009 Policy Term Life Insurance Rider, the minimum cost of insurance charge is $.08 per $1000 and under a Term Life Insurance Rider issued on or after January 1, 2009, the minimum cost of insurance charge is $.02 per $1000.

5. Fixed Account

For the Pre-2009 Policy, the Fixed Account is not an available investment option.

6. Definition of Account Value

Because the Fixed Account is not an option for Pre-2009 Policies, the term of Account Value is defined as “the sum of the value of your interests in the Divisions and the Loan Account. This amount reflects: (1) the Premiums you pay; (2) the investment performance of the Divisions you select; (3) any Policy loans or partial withdrawals; (4) your Loan Account balance; and (5) the charges we deduct under the Policy.”

General Information and History of Great-West and the Series Account

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“Great-West,” the “Company,” “we” or “us”) is a stock life insurance company that was originally organized under the laws of the state of Kansas as the National Interment Association. Our name was changed to Ranger National Life Insurance Company in 1963 and to Insuramerica Corporation prior to changing to our current name in February 1982. In September 1990, we redomesticated under the laws of Colorado.

We are authorized to do business in forty-nine states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam. We issue individual and group life insurance policies and annuity contracts and accident and health insurance policies.

Great-West is a wholly owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial, Inc., a Delaware holding company. GWL&A Financial, Inc. is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc., a Canadian holding company. Great-West Lifeco Inc. is a subsidiary of Power Financial Corporation, a Canadian holding company with substantial interests in the financial services industry. Power Financial Corporation is a subsidiary of Power Corporation of Canada, a Canadian holding and management company. Mr. Paul Desmarais, through a group of private holding companies that he controls, has voting control of Power Corporation of Canada.

We established the COLI VUL-2 Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the “Series Account”) in accordance with Colorado law on November 25, 1997. The Series Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

GWFS Equities also acts as the general distributor of certain annuity contracts issued by us. The maximum sales commission payable to our agents, independent registered insurance agents and other registered broker-dealers is 70% of Premium up to the first year target Premium and 7% of the portion of the first year Premium above the target. In addition, asset-based trail commissions may be paid. A sales representative may be required to return all or a portion of the commissions paid if: (i) a Policy terminates prior to the second Policy Anniversary; or (ii) a Policy is surrendered for the Surrender Benefit within the first six Policy Years and applicable state insurance law permits a return of expense charge.

Underwriting Procedures

We will issue on a fully underwritten basis applicants up to 300% of our standard current mortality assumptions. We will issue on a simplified basis based on case characteristics, such as required Policy size, average age of group and the industry of the group using our standard mortality assumptions. We will issue on a guaranteed basis for larger groups based on case characteristics such as the size of the group, Policy size, average age of group, industry, and group location.

Illustrations

Upon Request, we will provide you an illustration of Cash Surrender Value, Account Value and death benefits. The first illustration you Request during a Policy Year will be provided to you free of charge.

Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and Related Consolidated Statements of Income, Statements of Stockholder’s Equity and Statements of Cash Flows for Each of the Three Years in the Period Ended December 31, 2011 and Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

Greenwood Village, Colorado

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing 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 over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (“GWLA”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A Financial Inc. (“GWL&A Financial”), a holding company formed in 1998. GWL&A Financial is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco U.S. Inc. (“Lifeco U.S.”) and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Great-West Lifeco Inc. (“Lifeco”). The Company offers a wide range of life insurance, retirement and investment products to individuals, businesses and other private and public organizations throughout the United States. The Company is an insurance company domiciled in the State of Colorado and is subject to regulation by the Colorado Division of Insurance.

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the accounts of its subsidiaries over which it exercises control. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Use of Estimates

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are required to account for items and matters such as, but not limited to, the valuation of investments in the absence of quoted market values (including derivative financial instruments), impairment of investments, accounting for derivative financial instruments, valuation of policy benefit liabilities, valuation of deferred acquisition costs (“DAC”) and value of business acquired (“VOBA”), accounting for employee benefits plans and accounting for income taxes and the valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. However, in the opinion of management, these consolidated financial statements include normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and the results of its operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Investments

Investments are reported as follows:

1. The Company classifies the majority of its fixed maturity investments as available-for-sale. Included in fixed maturities are perpetual debt investments which primarily consist of junior subordinated debt instruments that have no stated maturity date but pay fixed or floating interest in perpetuity. All available-for-sale fixed maturity investments are recorded at fair value with the related net unrealized gain or loss, net of policyholder related amounts and deferred taxes, recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The Company recognizes the acquisition of its public fixed maturity investments on a trade date basis. Net unrealized gains and losses related to participating contract policies that cannot be distributed are recorded as undistributed earnings on participating business.

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

Premiums and discounts are recognized as a component of net investment income using the scientific interest method, realized gains and losses are included in net realized investment gains (losses) and declines in value determined to be other-than-temporary are included in total other-than-temporary losses.

The Company purchases fixed maturity securities which are classified as held for trading. Assets in the held for trading category are carried at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net investment income.

The recognition of income on certain investments (e.g. loan-backed securities, including mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities) is dependent upon market conditions, which may result in prepayments and changes in amounts to be earned. Prepayments on all mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are monitored monthly and amortization of the premium and/or the accretion of the discount associated with the purchase of such securities are adjusted by such prepayments.

2. Mortgage loans on real estate consist of domestic commercial collateralized loans and are carried at their unpaid principal balances adjusted for any unamortized premiums or discounts and allowances for credit losses. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance for all loans, except for loans on non-accrual status. Premiums and discounts are amortized to net investment income using the scientific interest method. Prepayment penalty fees are recognized in other realized investment gains upon receipt.

The Company uses an internal risk assessment process as a primary credit quality indicator, which is updated quarterly, with regard to impairment review and credit loss calculations. The Company follows a comprehensive approach with the management of mortgage loans that includes ongoing analysis of factors such as debt service coverage ratios, loan-to-value ratios, payment status, default or legal status, annual collateral property evaluations and general market conditions. Management’s risk assessment process is subjective and includes the categorization of all loans, based on the above mentioned credit quality indicators, into one of the following categories:

• Performing - generally indicates the loan has standard market risk and is within its original underwriting guidelines.

• Non-performing - generally indicates that there is a potential for loss due to the deterioration of financial/monetary default indicators or potential foreclosure. Due to the potential for loss, these loans are disclosed as impaired.

The Company’s allowance for credit loss is reviewed quarterly. The determination of the calculation and the adequacy of the mortgage credit loss allowance and mortgage impairments involve judgments that incorporate qualitative and quantitative Company and industry mortgage performance data. Management’s periodic evaluation and assessment of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses and the need for mortgage impairments is based on known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, the fair value of the underlying collateral, composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, loss experience and other relevant factors. Loans included in the non-performing category and other loans with certain substandard credit quality indicators are individually reviewed to determine if a specific impairment is required. Loans reviewed for specific impairment are excluded from the analysis to estimate the credit loss allowance for the loans categorized as performing in the portfolio. Risk is mitigated through first position collateralization, guarantees, loan covenants and borrower reporting requirements. Since the Company does not originate or hold uncollateralized mortgages, loans are generally not deemed fully uncollectable. Generally, unrecoverable amounts are written off during the final stage of the foreclosure process.

Loan balances are considered past due when payment has not been received based on contractually agreed upon terms. For loan balances greater than 90 days past due or in the process of foreclosure,

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

all accrual of interest is discontinued. The Company resumes interest accrual on loans when a loan returns to current status. Interest accrual may also resume under new terms when loans are restructured or modified.

On a quarterly basis, any loans with terms that were modified during that period are reviewed to determine if the loan modifications constitute a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). In evaluating whether a loan modification constitutes a TDR, it must be determined that the modification is a significant concession and the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties.

3. Limited partnership and other corporation interests are accounted for using either the cost or equity method of accounting. The Company uses the cost method on investments where it has a minor equity interest and no significant influence over the entity’s operations. The Company uses the equity method when it has a partnership interest that is considered more than minor, although the Company has no significant influence over the entity’s operations. Also included in limited partnership interests are limited partnerships established for the purpose of investing in low-income housing that qualify for federal and state tax credits. These interests are carried at amortized cost as determined using the effective yield method.

In the normal course of its activities, the Company is involved with other entities that are considered variable interest entities (“VIE”). An entity would be determined to be a primary beneficiary, and thus consolidated when the entity has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. When the Company becomes involved with a VIE and when the nature of the Company’s involvement with the entity changes, in order to determine if the Company is the primary beneficiary and must consolidate the entity, it evaluates:

• The structure and purpose of the entity;

• The risks and rewards created by and shared through the entity and

• The entity’s participants’ ability to direct the activities, receive its benefits and absorb its losses.

The Company performs ongoing qualitative analyses of its involvement with VIEs to determine if consolidation is required.

4. Policy loans are carried at their unpaid balances.

5. Short-term investments include securities purchased with initial maturities of one year or less and are generally carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The Company classifies its short-term investments as available-for-sale.

6. The Company enters into dollar repurchase agreements with third party broker-dealers. The Company does not enter into these types of transactions for liquidity purposes, but rather for yield enhancements on its investment portfolio. The dollar repurchase trading strategy involves the sale of securities with a simultaneous agreement to repurchase similar securities at a future date at an agreed-upon price. Assets to be repurchased are the same, or substantially the same, as the assets transferred, and are accounted for as collateralized borrowings. Proceeds of the sale are reinvested in other securities and may enhance the current yield and total return. The difference between the sales price and the future repurchase price is recorded as an adjustment to net investment income. In connection with repurchase agreements transactions, it is the Company’s policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Company will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the securities or if the counterparty enters bankruptcy proceedings or becomes insolvent. In such cases, the Company’s right to

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

repurchase the security may be restricted. Amounts owed to brokers under these arrangements are included in repurchase agreements. The liability is collateralized by securities with approximately the same fair value.

7. The Company participates in a securities lending program in which the Company lends securities that are held as part of its general account investment portfolio to third parties. The Company does not enter into these types of transactions for liquidity purposes, but rather for yield enhancements on its investment portfolio. The borrower can return and the Company can request the loaned securities at any time. The Company maintains ownership of the securities at all times and is entitled to receive from the borrower any payments for interest received on such securities during the loan term. Securities lending transactions are accounted for as collateralized borrowings. The securities lending agent indemnifies the Company against borrower risk, meaning that the lending agent agrees contractually to replace securities not returned due to a borrower default. The Company generally requires initial collateral in an amount greater than or equal to 102% of the fair value of domestic securities loaned and 105% of foreign securities loaned. Such collateral is used to replace the securities loaned in event of default by the borrower. Acceptable collateral is generally defined as government securities, letters of credit and/or cash collateral. Some cash collateral may be invested in short-term repurchase agreements which are also collateralized by U.S. Government or U.S. Government Agency securities.

8. The Company’s other-than-temporary impairments accounting policy requires that a decline in the value of a security below its cost or amortized cost basis be assessed to determine if the decline is other-than-temporary. The assessment of whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred on fixed maturity investments where management does not intend to sell the fixed maturity investment and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, is based upon management’s case-by-case evaluation of the underlying reasons for the decline in fair value of each individual security. Management considers a wide range of factors, as described below, regarding the security issuer and uses its best judgment in evaluating the cause of the decline in its estimated fair value and in assessing the prospects for near-term recovery.

Considerations used by the Company in the impairment evaluation process include, but are not limited to, the following:

• The extent to which estimated fair value is below cost;

• The decline in fair value is attributable to specific adverse conditions affecting a particular instrument, its issuer, an industry or geographic area;

• The length of time for which the estimated fair value has been below cost;

• A fixed maturity investment has been downgraded by a credit rating agency;

• The financial condition of the issuer has deteriorated;

• The payment structure of the fixed maturity investment and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments in the future; and

• Dividends have been reduced or eliminated or scheduled interest payments have not been made.

If management either (a) has the intent to sell a fixed maturity investment or (b) it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell a fixed maturity investment before its anticipated recovery, a charge is recorded in net realized investment losses equal to the difference between the fair value and cost or amortized cost basis of the security. If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the fixed maturity investment before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected (discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the fixed maturity investment prior to impairment) is less than the amortized cost basis of the fixed maturity investment (referred to as the credit loss portion), an other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred. In this instance, total other-than-temporary impairment is bifurcated into two components: the amount related to the credit

11

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

loss, which is recognized in current period earnings; and the amount attributed to other factors (referred to as the non-credit portion), which is recognized as a separate component in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The calculation of expected cash flows utilized during the impairment evaluation process are determined using judgment and the best information available to the Company including default rates, credit ratings, collateral characteristics and current levels of subordination. After the recognition of an other-than-temporary impairment, a fixed maturity investment is accounted for as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the other-than-temporary impairment, with an amortized cost basis equal to the previous amortized cost basis less the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings. The Company accretes the new cost basis to estimated future value over the remaining life of the security based on the future estimated cash flows by adjusting the security’s yield.

Fair Value

Certain assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy, based on the priority of the inputs to the respective valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon the following fair value hierarchy:

• Level 1 inputs utilize observable, quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Financial assets and liabilities utilizing Level 1 inputs include certain money market funds.

• Level 2 inputs utilize 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 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. The fair values for some Level 2 securities are obtained from pricing services. The inputs used by the pricing services are reviewed at least quarterly or when the pricing vendor issues updates to its pricing methodology. For fixed maturity securities and separate account assets and liabilities, inputs include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, evaluated bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. Additional inputs utilized for assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 are:

o Asset-backed, residential mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations - new issue data, monthly payment information, collateral performance and third party real estate analysis.

o U.S. states and their subdivisions - material event notices.

o Short-term investments - valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

o Derivative instruments - reported trades, swap curves, credit spreads, recovery rates, restructuring, currency volatility, net present value of cash flows and news sources.

o Separate account assets and liabilities - exchange rates, various index data and news sources, amortized cost (which approximates fair value), reported trades, swap curves, credit spreads, recovery rates, restructuring, currency volatility, net present value of cash flows and quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

o Common collective trusts – the net asset value based on the underlying trust investments.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

• Level 3 inputs are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In general, the prices of Level 3 securities, are obtained from single broker quotes and internal pricing models. If the broker’s inputs are largely unobservable, the valuation is classified as a Level 3. Broker quotes are validated through an internal analyst review process, which includes validation through known market conditions and other relevant data. Internal models are usually cash flow based utilizing characteristics of the underlying collateral of the security such as default rate and other relevant data. Inputs utilized for securities classified as Level 3 are as follows:

o Corporate debt securities - single broker quotes which may be in an illiquid market or otherwise deemed unobservable.

o Asset-backed securities - internal models utilizing asset-backed securities index spreads.

o Separate account assets - single broker quotes which may be in an illiquid market or otherwise deemed unobservable or net asset value per share of the underlying investments.

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 has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. All transfers between levels are recognized at the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company enters into derivative transactions which include the use of interest rate swaps, interest rate swaptions, cross-currency swaps, U.S. government treasury futures contracts, Eurodollar futures contracts, futures on equity indices and interest rate swap futures. The Company uses these derivative instruments to manage various risks, including interest rate and foreign exchange risk associated with its invested assets and liabilities. Derivative instruments are not used for speculative reasons.

All derivatives, regardless of hedge accounting treatment, are recorded in other assets and other liabilities at fair value. Accounting for the ongoing changes in the fair value of a derivative depends upon the intended use of the derivative and its designation as determined when the derivative contract is entered into. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are recognized in the consolidated income statements when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in its fair value and of the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in net investment income. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting and the over effective portion of cash flow hedges are recognized in net investment income in the period of the change. Investment gains and losses generally result from the termination of derivative contracts prior to expiration.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments for risk management purposes associated with certain invested assets and policy liabilities. Derivatives are used to (a) hedge the economic effects of interest rate and stock market movements on the Company’s guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit, (b) hedge the economic effect of a large increase in interest rates on the Company’s general account life insurance, group pension liabilities and certain separate account life insurance liabilities, (c) hedge the economic risks of other transactions such as future asset acquisitions or dispositions, the timing of liability pricing, currency risks on non-U.S. dollar denominated assets and fee revenue based on equity market performance and (d) convert floating rate assets to fixed rate assets for asset/liability management purposes.

The Company controls the credit risk of its derivative contracts through credit approvals, limits, monitoring procedures and in many cases, requiring collateral. The Company’s exposure is limited to the portion of

13

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Years Ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

the fair value of derivative instruments that exceeds the value of the collateral held and not to the notional or contractual amounts of the derivatives. The Company incorporates the market’s perception of its own and the counterparty’s non-performance risk through review of credit spreads in determining the fair value of the portion of its over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative assets and liabilities that are uncollateralized. Fair values are adjusted accordingly based on an internal carry value adjustment model.

Collateral agreements are regularly entered into as part of the underlying agreements with counterparties to mitigate counterparty credit risk. Certain of these arrangements require collateral when the fair value exceeds certain thresholds and also include credit contingent provisions that provide for a reduction of these thresholds in the event of downgrade in the credit ratings of the Company and/or the counterparty.

Certain derivatives in a net asset position have cash pledged as collateral to the Company in accordance with the collateral support agreements with the counterparty. This collateral is held in a custodial account for the benefit of the Company. This unrestricted cash collateral is included in other assets and the obligation to return it is included in other liabilities. The cash collateral is reinvested in a government money market fund. Cash collateral pledged is included in other assets.

Cash

Cash includes only amounts in demand deposit accounts.

Book overdrafts occur when checks have been issued by the Company, but have not been presented to the Company’s disbursement bank accounts for payment. These bank accounts allow the Company to delay funding of the issued checks until they are presented for payment. This delay in funding results in a temporary source of financing. The activity related to book overdrafts is included in the financial activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. The book overdrafts are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, these liabilities were $609 and $32,572, respectively.

Internal use software

Purchased software costs, as well as certain internal and external costs incurred to develop internal use computer software during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life. Capitalized internal use software development costs, net of accumulated amortization, in the amounts of $33,021 and $24,196, are included in other assets at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company capitalized $16,676, $9,816 and $8,014 of internal use software development costs during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Deferred acquisition costs and value of business acquired

DAC, which primarily consists of sales commissions and costs associated with the Company’s sales representatives related to the production of new business or through the acquisition of insurance or annuity contracts through indemnity reinsurance transactions, has been deferred to the extent recoverable. VOBA represents the estimated fair value of insurance or annuity contracts acquired either directly through the acquisition of another insurance company or through the acquisition of insurance or annuity contracts through assumption reinsurance transactions. The recoverability of such costs is dependent upon the future profitability of the related business. DAC and VOBA associated with the annuity products and flexible premium universal life insurance products are being amortized over the life of the contracts in proportion to the emergence of gross profits. Retrospective adjustments of these amounts are made when the Company revises its estimates of current or future gross profits. DAC and VOBA associated with traditional life insurance are amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenues recognized. DAC and VOBA, for applicable products, are adjusted for the impact of unrealized gains or losses on investments as if these gains or losses had been realized, with corresponding credits or charges included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill is the excess of cost over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with an acquisition and is considered an indefinite lived asset and therefore is not amortized. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that there may be justification for conducting an interim test. If the carrying value of goodwill exceeds its fair value, the excess is recognized as an impairment and recorded as a charge against net income in the period in which the impairment is identified.

Other intangible assets represent the estimated fair value of the portion of the purchase price that was allocated to the value of customer relationships and preferred provider relationships in various acquisitions. These intangible assets have been assigned values using various methodologies, including present value of projected future cash flows, analysis of similar transactions that have occurred or could be expected to occur in the market and replacement or reproduction cost. The initial valuations of these intangible assets were supported by an independent valuation study that was commissioned by the Company. Other identified intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which initially ranged from 4 to 14 years (weighted average 13 years), primarily based upon the cash flows generated by these assets.

Separate accounts

Separate account assets and related liabilities are carried at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company issues variable annuity contracts through separate accounts for which investment income and investment gains and losses accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contractholder and therefore, are not included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

Revenues to the Company from the separate accounts consist of contract maintenance fees, investment management fees, administrative fees and mortality and expense risk charges.

The Company’s separate accounts invest in shares of Maxim Series Fund Inc. and Putnam Funds, open-end management investment companies, which are affiliates of the Company, and shares of other non-affiliated mutual funds and government and corporate bonds.

Life insurance and annuity future benefits

Life insurance and annuity future benefits with life contingencies in the amounts of $13,051,532 and $12,395,926 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are computed on the basis of estimated mortality, investment yield, withdrawals, future maintenance and settlement expenses and retrospective experience rating premium refunds. Annuity contract benefits without life contingencies in the amounts of $8,727,286 and $7,976,954 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, are established at the contractholder’s account value.

Reinsurance Ceded

In the normal course of its business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding risks to other insurance enterprises under excess coverage and coinsurance contracts. For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines if the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk in accordance with applicable accounting standards. If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not provide indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. The Company reviews all contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

Policy benefits and policy and contract claims ceded to other insurance companies are carried as a reinsurance receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The cost of reinsurance related to long duration contracts is accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured policies using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying policies.

Policy and contract claims

Policy and contract claims include provisions for claims incurred but not reported and claims in the process of settlement. The provision for claims incurred but not reported is valued based primarily on the Company’s prior experience. The claims in the process of settlement are valued in accordance with the terms of the related policies and contracts.

Participating business

The Company has participating policies in which the policyholder shares in the Company’s earnings through policyholder dividends that reflect the difference between the assumptions used in the premium charged and the actual experience on those policies. The amount of dividends to be paid is determined by the Board of Directors.

Participating life and annuity policy benefit liabilities are $6,705,462 and $6,544,238 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Participating business comprises approximately 8% and 9% of the Company’s individual life insurance in-force at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and 19%, 13% and 19% of individual life insurance premium income for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The policyholder’s share of net income on participating policies is excluded from stockholder’s equity and recorded as undistributed earnings on participating business in the consolidated balance sheet.

Recognition of premium and fee income and benefits and expenses

Life insurance premiums are recognized when due. Annuity contract premiums with life contingencies are recognized as received. Revenues for annuity and other contracts without significant life contingencies consist of contract charges for the cost of insurance and contract administration and surrender fees that have been assessed against the contract account balance during the period and are recognized when earned. Fees from assets under management, which consist of contract maintenance fees, administration fees and mortality and expense risk charges, are recognized when due. Benefits and expenses on policies with life contingencies are associated with earned premiums so as to result in recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. Premiums and policyholder benefits and expenses are presented net of reinsurance.

Net investment income

Interest income from fixed maturities and mortgage loans on real estate is recognized when earned.

Realized investment gains (losses) and derivative financial instruments

Realized investment gains and losses are reported as a component of revenues and are determined on a specific identification basis. Realized investment gains and losses also result from the termination of derivative contracts prior to expiration that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and certain fair-value hedge relationships.

Income taxes

Income taxes are recorded using the asset and liability method in which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in either the Company’s consolidated financial statements or consolidated tax returns. In estimating future tax

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

consequences, all expected future events, other than the enactments or changes in the tax laws or rules, are considered. A valuation allowance is provided to the extent that it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. The effect on deferred taxes from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Share-based compensation

Lifeco maintains the Great-West Lifeco Inc. Stock Option Plan (the “Lifeco plan”) that provides for the granting of options on its common shares to certain of its officers and employees and those of its subsidiaries, including the Company. The Company uses the fair value method to recognize the cost of share-based employee compensation under the Lifeco plan.

2. Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU No. 2010-06”). ASU No. 2010-06 provides for disclosure of significant transfers in and out of the fair value hierarchy Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for these transfers. In addition, ASU No. 2010-06 provides for separate disclosure about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 hierarchy roll forward activity. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2009 except for the provisions relating to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 investments, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of ASU 2010-06 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010 and adopted the Level 3 purchases, sales, issuances and settlements provisions for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 relate only to financial statement disclosures and, accordingly, did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-15 “How Investments Held through Separate Accounts Affect an Insurer’s Consolidation Analysis of Those Investments” (“ASU No. 2010-15”). ASU No. 2010-15 clarifies that an insurance company should not consider any separate account interests in an investment held for the benefit of policyholders to be its interests and that those interests should not be combined with interests of its general account in the same investment when assessing the investment for consolidation. ASU No. 2010-15 also provides that an insurance company is required to consider a separate account as a subsidiary for purposes of evaluating whether the retention of specialized accounting for investments in consolidation is appropriate. ASU No. 2010-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU No. 2010-15 for its fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU No. 2010-15 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-20 “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU No. 2010-20”). ASU No. 2010-20 provides for entities to disclose credit quality indicators, aging of past due amounts, the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings, modifications as a result of troubled debt restructurings and significant sales or purchases, by disaggregated class, for its financing receivables. ASU No. 2010-20 is effective for fiscal periods ending after December 15, 2010. The Company adopted ASU No. 2010-20 for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. The provisions of ASU No. 2010-20 related to troubled debt restructurings have been clarified in ASU No. 2011-02, see below. The provisions of ASU No. 2010-20 relate only to financial statement disclosures regarding financing receivables and, accordingly, its adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-02 “Receivables (Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (“ASU No. 2011-02”). ASU No. 2011-02 clarifies and defines the criteria to be met in a debt modification in order to be considered a troubled debt restructuring. It also clarifies whether a modification of the terms of a receivable meets the criteria to be considered a troubled debt restructuring, both for purposes of recording an impairment loss and for disclosure of troubled debt restructures. ASU No. 2011-02 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after June 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted and is to be applied retrospectively to the beginning of the annual period of adoption. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-02 for its fiscal period ended September 30, 2011. The provisions of ASU No. 2011-02 related only to financial statement disclosure and, accordingly, did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of operations.

Future adoption of new accounting pronouncements

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-26 “Financial Services - Insurance (Topic 944): Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts - a Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force” (“ASU No. 2010-26”). ASU No. 2010-26 provides guidance and modifies the definition of the types and nature of costs incurred by insurance enterprises that can be capitalized in connection with the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts. Further, ASU No. 2010-26 clarifies which costs may not be capitalized as DAC. ASU No. 2010-26 is effective for interim and annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2010-26 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012, and expects to apply the retrospective method of adoption. Accordingly, upon adoption, DAC will be reduced with a corresponding reduction, net of tax, to stockholder’s equity as a result of acquisition costs previously deferred that are not eligible for deferral under the amended guidance. The Company estimates the impact as of December 31, 2011, retrospective adoption would reduce DAC by approximately $120,000 to $130,000 and would reduce stockholder’s equity by approximately $76,000 to $86,000, net of tax. Expenses in future periods will be higher due to a decrease of deferrable expenses. However, amortization expense will be lower in future periods due to the lower DAC balance, before the effect of any amortization related to realized gains and losses.

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03 “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements” (“ASU No. 2011-03”). ASU No. 2011-03 removes from the assessment of effective control the criterion requiring a transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets transferred in a repurchase arrangement. This requirement was one of the criterions under ASC topic 860 that entities used to determine whether a transferor maintained effective control. Entities are still required to consider all the effective control criterion under ASC topic 860; however, the elimination of this requirement may lead to more conclusions that a repurchase agreement should be accounted for as a secured borrowing rather than a sale. ASU No. 2011-03 is effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2011-03 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-03 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU No. 2011-04”). ASU No. 2011-04 does not extend the use of the existing concepts or guidance regarding fair value. It results in common fair value measurements and disclosures between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and those of International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU No. 2011-04 expands disclosure requirements for Level 3 inputs to include a quantitative description of the unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation process used and a qualitative description about the sensitivity of the fair value measurements. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2011-04 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-04 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of operations.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”). ASU No. 2011-05 provides that, upon adoption, entities must present the components of net income, the components of comprehensive income and the total of comprehensive income for all periods presented. The option of presenting the components of comprehensive income in the statement of changes of equity has been eliminated. ASU No. 2011-05 is effective for interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt ASU No. 2011-05 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-05 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of its operations. ASU No 2011-05 was subsequently amended by ASU No. 2011-12.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU No. 2011-08”). ASU No. 2011-08 provides that entities have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of recorded goodwill is less than its carrying value. If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of recorded goodwill is less than its carrying value, it is then required to calculate the fair value of the recorded goodwill and to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2011-08 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-08 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of its operations.

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12 “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05” (“ASU No. 2011-12”). ASU No. 2011-12 indefinitely defers the requirement in ASU No. 2011-05 for entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and statement in which other comprehensive income is presented, for both interim and annual periods. ASU No. 2011-12 does not effect any other provisions of ASU No. 2011-05. ASU No. 2011-12 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years ending after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU No. 2011-12 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU No. 2011-12 will not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or the results of operations.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of fixed maturity investments classified as available-for-sale at December 31, 2011, based on estimated cash flows, are shown in the table below. Actual maturities will likely differ from these projections because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

	December 30, 2011
	Amortized cost		Estimated fair value
Maturing in one year or less	$	478,189	$	511,588
Maturing after one year through five years		3,161,433		3,420,611

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

The following table summarizes information regarding the sales of securities classified as available-for-sale for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:

	Year ended December 31,
	2011		2010		2009
Proceeds from sales	$	3,958,589	$	3,222,700	$	2,258,653
Gross realized gains from sales		104,893		62,702		42,375
Gross realized losses from sales		23,138		26		267

Gross realized gains and losses from sales during the year were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates and gains and losses on repurchase agreement transactions.

Included in net investment income are unrealized gains of $12,935, $9,587 and $4,749 on held-for-trading fixed maturity investments still held at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company has a corporate fixed maturity security with a fair value of $9,949 and $8,845 that has been non-income producing for the twelve months preceding December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. This security was written down to its fair value in the period it was deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Mortgage loans on real estate - The following table summarizes the carry value of the mortgage loan portfolio by component as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:

Allowance for credit loss		(21,130	)		(16,300	)
Total mortgage loans	$	2,513,087		$	1,722,422

Of the total principal balance in the mortgage loan portfolio, $2,067 and $8,470 related to impaired loans at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The decrease in the impaired loans balance was due to four loans that were foreclosed upon and one loan that was paid in full offset by one loan that was deemed non-performing during the year ended December 31, 2011.

The recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans was $2,067 and $9,576 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The average recorded investment of impaired mortgage loans was $5,822, $5,101 and $313 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

⁽¹⁾ December 31, 2010 includes four loans in the amount of $2,158 in process of foreclosure.

Occasionally, the Company elects to grant a concession to a debtor with financial difficulties in an attempt to protect as much of its investment as possible. At December 31, 2010, the Company had one loan, with a principal balance of $6,355, classified as a troubled debt restructuring with loan modifications which primarily reduced the interest rate for the life of the loan, but did not extend the maturity date or forgive any principal.

Limited partnership and other corporation interests - The Company invests in limited partnership interests, which include limited partnerships established for the purpose of investing in low-income housing that qualify for federal and state tax credits, and other corporation interests. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had $169,233 and $210,146, respectively, invested in limited partnership and other corporation interests.

The Company has determined its investment in low-income housing limited partnerships (“LIHLP”) to be considered a VIE. Although the Company is involved with the VIE, it determined that consolidation was not required because it has no power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance.

As a 99% limited partner in various upper-tier LIHLPs, the Company has few or no voting rights, but expects to receive the tax credits allocated to the partnership and operating losses from depreciation and interest expense. The Company is only an equity investor and views the LIHLP as a single investment. The general partner of the LIHLPs is most closely involved in the development and management of the LIHLP project. The general partner has a small ownership of the partnership, which requires a de minimus capital contribution. This equity investment is reduced based on fees paid at inception by the limited partner; therefore, the general partner does not qualify as having an equity investment at risk in the LIHLP project. However, the limited partner does not have the direct or indirect ability through voting rights or similar rights to make decisions about the general partner’s activities that have a significant effect on the success of the partnership.

Fixed maturity investments - Total unrealized losses and other-than-temporary impairment losses decreased by $73,343, or 20%, from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. This decrease in unrealized losses was across most asset classes and reflects recovery in market liquidity and lower interest rates, although the economic uncertainty in certain asset classes still remains.

Unrealized losses on corporate debt securities increased by $9,773 from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011. The valuation of these securities has been influenced by market conditions with widening credit spreads in the finance sector resulting in generally lower valuations of these fixed income securities. The finance sector accounts for 91% of the corporate debt securities unrealized loss at December 31, 2011.

Unrealized losses on asset-backed securities decreased by $28,940 since December 31, 2010, generally due to lower interest rates, increased market liquidity and other-than-temporary impairments recognized during the year.

Corporate debt securities account for 52% of the unrealized losses and OTTI greater than twelve months. Of the $141,273 of unrealized losses and OTTI over twelve months on corporate debt securities, 64% are on securities which continue to be rated investment grade. Of the $51,356 of unrealized losses and OTTI greater than twelve months on non-investment grade corporate debt securities, $42,036 of the losses are on perpetual debt investments issued by banks in the United Kingdom, which have senior debt ratings of A- or higher. The Company determined that the majority of the unrealized losses on the perpetual securities were due to widening credit spreads and low LIBOR based coupon rates on the securities. Based on our analysis, the Company concluded that the ability of the issuers to service the investment has not been compromised by these factors. Additionally, although foreign banks have suffered from the weak credit and economic environment, they benefit from central bank support. Management does not have the intent to sell these assets prior to a full recovery; therefore, an OTTI was not recognized in earnings.

Asset-backed securities account for 43% of the unrealized losses and OTTI greater than twelve months. Of the $114,852 of unrealized losses and OTTI over twelve months on asset-backed securities, 85% of the losses are on securities which continue to be rated investment grade. Of the securities which are not rated investment grade, 89% of the losses are on securities guaranteed by monoline insurers. The present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is not less than amortized cost. Management does not have the intent to sell these assets prior to a full recovery; therefore, an OTTI was not recognized in earnings.

See Note 6 for additional discussion regarding fair value measurements.

Included in net investment income and realized investment gains (losses) are amounts allocable to the participating fund account. This allocation is based upon the activity in a specific block of investments that are segmented for the benefit of the participating fund account. The amounts of net investment income allocated to the participating fund account were $4,095, $4,481 and $4,799 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The amounts of realized investment gains (losses) allocated to the participating fund account were $279, $438 and $234 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative transactions, excluding cross-currency swaps, are entered into pursuant to master agreements and other contracts that provide for a single net payment to be made by one party to the other on a daily basis, periodic payment dates, or at the due date, expiration or termination of the agreement.

The Company holds $11,985 and $7,790 of unrestricted cash collateral from derivative counterparties to satisfy collateral netting agreements at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. For a complete discussion of the Company’s policy surrounding derivative collateral, refer to Note 1, Organization and Significant Accounting Policies.

Cash flow hedges - Interest rate swap agreements are used to convert the interest rate on certain debt securities from a floating rate to a fixed rate. Cross-currency swaps are used to manage the foreign exchange rate risk associated with investments denominated in other than U.S. dollars. Interest rate futures are used to manage the interest rate risks of forecasted acquisitions of fixed rate maturity investments. These derivatives are primarily structured to hedge interest rate risk inherent in the assumptions used to price certain liabilities. The Company’s derivatives treated as cash flow hedges are eligible for hedge accounting.

At December 31, 2011, the Company estimates that $7,996 of net derivative gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into net income within the next twelve months.

Fair value hedges - Interest rate swap agreements are used to convert the interest rate on certain debt securities from a fixed rate to a floating rate to manage the risk of the change in the fair value of certain fixed rate maturity investments. Interest rate futures are used to manage the risk of the change in the fair value of certain fixed rate maturity investments. The Company’s derivatives treated as fair value hedges are eligible for hedge accounting.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company enters into transactions in which derivatives are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, hedge accounting is not elected. These derivative instruments include: exchange-traded interest rate swap futures, exchange-traded equity index futures on certain indices, OTC interest rate swaptions, OTC interest rate swaps, exchange-traded Eurodollar interest rate futures and interest rate futures.

The derivative instruments mentioned above are economic hedges and used to manage risk. These transactions are used to offset changes in liabilities, hedge the economic effect of a large increase in interest rates, manage the potential variability in future interest payments due to a change in credited interest rates and the related change in cash flows due to increased surrenders, manage interest rate risks of forecasted acquisitions of fixed rate maturity investments and forecasted liability pricing, and hedge equity based fee income.

Notional amounts are used to express the extent of the Company’s involvement in derivative transactions and represent a standard measurement of the volume of its derivative activity. Notional amounts represent those amounts used to calculate contractual flows to be exchanged. Notional amounts are not paid or received.

The Company had 143 and 117 swap transactions with an average notional amount of $16,361 and $19,745 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company added one cross-currency swap during the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company had 1,678 and 979 futures transactions with an average number of contracts per transaction of 18 and 26 during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company had 44 swaption transactions with an average notional amount of $5,986 during the year ended December 31, 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company had three swaptions expire.

The change in notional amount of derivatives during the year was primarily due to the following:

o The net decrease of $486,837 in interest rate swaps, interest rate futures and interest rate swaptions was primarily the result of a decrease in interest rates.

o The increase of $39,030 in cross-currency swaps was due to a new swap added to hedge a floating rate British pound asset.

The Company recognized total derivative gains (losses) in net investment income of ($15,428), $1,366 and $2,105 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company realized net investment gains (losses) on closed derivative positions of ($38,794), ($17,076) and ($3,905) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The preceding amounts are all shown net of any gains (losses) on the hedged assets in a fair value hedge that has been recorded in net investment income.

Fixed maturity investments

The fair values for fixed maturity investments are based upon quoted market prices or estimates from independent pricing services. However, in cases where quoted market prices are not readily available, such as for private fixed maturity investments, fair values are estimated. To determine estimated fair value for these instruments, the Company generally utilizes discounted cash flows calculated at current market rates on investments of similar quality and term. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about financial instruments, including estimates of the timing and amounts of expected future cash flows and the credit standing of the issuer or counterparty.

Short-term investments, securities lending agreements, repurchase agreements and commercial paper

The amortized cost of short-term investments, collateral and payable under securities lending agreements, repurchase agreements and commercial paper is a reasonable estimate of fair value due to their short-term nature.

Policy loans

The policy loans accrue interest at variable rates which approximate current market interest rates. Additionally, policy loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of the underlying insurance policy. Given the absence of borrower credit risk and the short time period between interest rate resets, carrying value approximates fair value.

Mortgage loans on real estate

Mortgage loan fair value estimates are generally based on discounted cash flows. A discount rate matrix is incorporated whereby the discount rate used in valuing a specific mortgage generally corresponds to that mortgage’s remaining term and credit quality. Management believes the discount rate used is commensurate with the credit, interest rate, term, servicing costs and risks of loans similar to the portfolio loans that the Company would make today given its internal pricing strategy.

Other investments

Other investments include the Company’s percentage ownership of foreclosed lease interests in aircraft. The estimated fair value is based on the present value of anticipated lease payments plus the residual value of the aircraft. Real estate held for investments is also included in other investments. The estimated fair value for real estate is based on appraised value.

Derivative counterparty collateral agreements

Included in other assets and other liabilities is cash collateral received from derivative counterparties and the obligation to return the cash collateral to the counterparties. The amortized cost of the collateral is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Derivative instruments

Included in other assets and other liabilities are derivative financial instruments. The estimated fair values of OTC derivatives, primarily consisting of interest rate swaps and interest rate swaptions which are held for other than trading purposes, are the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the end of each reporting period, taking into consideration current interest rates, counterparty credit risk and other relevant factors.

Separate account assets

Separate account assets include investments in mutual fund, fixed maturity and short-term securities. Mutual funds are recorded at net asset value, which approximates fair value, on a daily basis. The fixed maturity and short-term investments are valued in the same manner, and using the same pricing sources and inputs as the fixed maturity and short-term investments of the Company.

Annuity contract benefits without life contingencies

The estimated fair values of annuity contract benefits without life contingencies are estimated by discounting the projected expected cash flows to the maturity of the contracts utilizing risk-free spot interest rates plus a provision for the Company’s credit risk.

Policyholders’ funds

The carrying amount of policyholders’ funds approximates the fair value since the Company can change the interest crediting rates with thirty days notice.

7. Reinsurance

In the normal course of its business, the Company seeks to limit its exposure to loss on any single insured and to recover a portion of benefits paid by ceding risks to other insurance enterprises under excess coverage and coinsurance contracts. The Company retains a maximum liability in the amount of $3,500 of coverage per individual life. Further, the maximum annual growth due to automatic increases is $175 per annum, with an overall maximum of $1,000.

Ceded reinsurance contracts do not relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. The failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk arising from similar geographic regions, activities or economic characteristics of the reinsurers to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the reinsurance receivables had carrying values in the amounts of $616,336 and $594,997, respectively. Included in these amounts are $502,093 and $483,564 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, associated with reinsurance agreements with related parties. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, 81% and 73%, respectively, of the total reinsurance receivable was due from CLAC, a related party.

The Company assumes risk from approximately forty insurers and reinsurers by participating in yearly renewable term and coinsurance pool agreements. When assuming risk, the Company seeks to generate revenue while maintaining reciprocal working relationships with these partners as they also seek to limit their exposure to loss on any single life. Maximum capacity to be accepted by the Company is dictated at the treaty level and is monitored annually to ensure the risk acquired on any one life is managed to its maximum retention of $3,500.

14. Employee Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Pension, Post-Retirement Medical and Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

The Company has a noncontributory Defined Benefit Pension Plan covering substantially all of its employees that were hired before January 1, 1999. Pension benefits are based principally on an employee’s years of service and compensation levels near retirement. The Company’s policy for funding the defined benefit pension plans is to make annual contributions, which equal or exceed regulatory requirements.

The Company sponsors an unfunded Post-Retirement Medical Plan (the “Medical Plan”) that provides health benefits to retired employees who are not Medicare eligible. The medical plan is contributory and contains other cost sharing features which may be adjusted annually for the expected general inflation rate. The Company’s policy is to fund the cost of the medical plan benefits in amounts determined at the discretion of management.

The Company also provides supplemental executive retirement plans to certain key executives. These plans provide key executives with certain benefits upon retirement, disability or death based upon total compensation. The Company has purchased individual life insurance policies with respect to each employee covered by this plan. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the insurance contracts.

The investment objective of the Defined Benefit Pension Plan is to provide a risk-adjusted return that will ensure the payment of benefits while protecting against the risk of substantial investment losses. Correlations among the asset classes are used to identify an asset mix that the Company believes will provide the most attractive returns. Long-term return forecasts for each asset class using historical data and other qualitative considerations to adjust for projected economic forecasts are used to set the expected rate of return for the entire portfolio.

The Defined Benefit Pension Plan utilizes various investment securities. Generally, investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risks, credit risk and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported.

The following table presents the ranges the Company targets for the allocation of invested Defined Benefit Pension Plan assets at December 31, 2012:

	December 31, 2012
Equity securities	25% - 75%
Debt securities	25% - 75%
Other	0% - 15%

Management estimates the value of these investments will be recoverable. The Company does not expect any plan assets to be returned to it during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company expects to make payments of approximately $650 with respect to its Post-Retirement Medical Plan and $3,611 with respect to its Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company will make a contribution at least equal to the minimum contribution of $22,000 to its Defined Benefit Pension Plan during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Other employee benefit plans

The Company has an executive deferred compensation plan providing key executives with the opportunity to participate in an unfunded deferred compensation program. Under the program, participants may defer base compensation and bonuses and earn interest on the amounts deferred. The program is not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. Participant balances, which are reflected in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, are $13,330 and $14,139 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The participant deferrals earned interest at the average rates of 6.72% and 7.55% during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The interest rate is based on the Moody’s Average Annual Corporate Bond Index rate plus 0.45% for actively employed participants and fixed rates ranging from 6.37% to 7.91% for retired participants.

Participants defer a portion of their compensation and realize potential market gains or losses on the invested contributions. The program is not qualified under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code. Participant balances, which are included in other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are $11,258 and $10,848 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Total income tax provision from continuing operations	$	100,203	$	72,515	$	41,433
The following table presents a reconciliation between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective federal income tax rate from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009:
	Year ended December 31,

A reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

	Year ended December 31,
	2011			2010			2009
Balance, beginning of year	$	35,256		$	81,390		$	60,079
Additions to tax positions in the current year		6,557			6,939			24,843
Reductions to tax positions in the current year		(420	)		-			(2,670	)
Additions to tax positions in the prior year		4,785			142			-
Reductions to tax positions in the prior year		(9,858	)		(47,922	)		(862	)
Reductions to tax positions from statutes expiring		(4,197	)		(5,253	)		-
Settlements		-			(40	)		-
Balance, end of year	$	32,123		$	35,256		$	81,390

Included in the unrecognized tax benefits of $32,123 at December 31, 2011 was $6,379 of tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the annual effective tax rate. Also included in the balance at December 31, 2011 is $25,744 of tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.

The Company anticipates additional increases in its unrecognized tax benefits of $2,000 to $3,000 in the next twelve months. The Company expects that this increase in its unrecognized tax benefit will impact the effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in current income tax expense. The Company recognized approximately $2,629, ($13,403) and $2,430 in interest and penalties related to the uncertain tax positions during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company had approximately $4,204 and $1,575 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years 2007 and prior. Tax years 2008, 2009 and 2010 are open to federal examination by the I.R.S. The Company does not expect significant increases or decreases to unrecognized tax benefits relating to federal, state or local audits.

Amounts presented for investment assets above include ($264,078) and ($145,517) related to the net unrealized losses (gains) on the Company’s investments, which are classified as available-for-sale at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company, together with certain of its subsidiaries, and Lifeco U.S. have entered into an income tax allocation agreement whereby Lifeco U.S. files a consolidated federal income tax return. Under the agreement, these companies are responsible for and will receive the benefits of any income tax liability or benefit computed on a separate tax return basis.

The Company has federal net operating loss carry forwards generated by a subsidiary that is included in the Lifeco U.S. consolidated federal income tax return. As of December 31, 2011, the subsidiary had net operating loss carry forwards expiring as follows:

Year	Amount
2020	$	179,380
2021		112,600
2022		136,701
2023		81,693
Total	$	510,374

During 2011 and 2010, the Company generated $34,020 and $36,039 of Guaranteed Federal Low Income Housing tax credit carryforwards respectively. These credits will expire in 2031 and 2030.

Included in due from parent and affiliates at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is $115,300 and $199,884, respectively, of income taxes receivable from Lifeco U.S. related to the consolidated income tax return filed by the Company and certain subsidiaries. Included in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is $9,019 and $10,311, respectively, of income taxes receivable in other assets primarily related to the separate state income tax returns filed by certain subsidiaries.

16. Segment Information

The Company has three reportable segments: Individual Markets, Retirement Services and Other.

Individual Markets

The Individual Markets reporting and operating segment distributes life insurance and individual annuity products to both individuals and businesses through various distribution channels. Life insurance products in-force include participating and non-participating term life, whole life, universal life and variable universal life.

Retirement Services

The Retirement Services reporting and operating segment provides retirement plan enrollment services, communication materials, various retirement plan investment options and educational services to employer-sponsored defined contribution/defined benefit plans and 401(k) and 403(b) plans, as well as comprehensive administrative and record-keeping services for financial institutions and employers.

Other

The Company’s Other reporting segment is substantially comprised of activity under the assumption reinsurance agreement between GWSC and CLAC (“the GWSC operating segment”), corporate items not directly allocated to the other operating segments and interest expense on long-term debt.

The accounting principles used to determine segment results are the same as those used in the consolidated financial statements. The Company evaluates performance of its reportable segments based on their profitability from operations after income taxes. Inter-segment transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s operations are not materially dependent on one or a few customers, brokers or agents.

17. Share-Based Compensation

Lifeco, of which the Company is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, has a stock option plan (the “Lifeco plan”) that provides for the granting of options on its common shares to certain of its officers and employees and those of its subsidiaries, including the Company. Options are granted with exercise prices not less than the average market price of the shares on the five days preceding the date of the grant. Termination of employment prior to the vesting of the options results in the forfeiture of the unvested options. The Lifeco plan provides for the granting of options with varying terms and vesting requirements with vesting commencing on the first anniversary of the grant and expiring ten years from the date of grant.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, Lifeco granted 550,700 stock options to employees of the Company. These stock options vest over five-year periods ending in September 2016. Compensation expense of $2,472 will be recognized in the Company’s financial statements over the vesting period of these stock options using the accelerated method of recognition.

The Lifeco plan contains a provision that permits a retiring option holder with unvested stock options on the date of retirement to continue to vest in them after retirement for a period of up to five years. Upon the retirement of an option holder with unvested options, the Company accelerates the recognition period to the date of retirement for any unrecognized share-based compensation cost related thereto and recognizes it in its earnings at that time.

At December 31, 2011, the Company had $2,710, net of estimated forfeitures, of unrecognized share-based compensation costs, which will be recognized in its earnings through 2016. The weighted-average period over which these costs will be recognized in earnings is 1.8 years.

The following table summarizes the status of, and changes in, the Lifeco plan options granted to Company employees which are outstanding at December 31, 2011. The options granted relate to underlying stock traded in Canadian dollars on the Toronto Stock Exchange, therefore, the amounts, which are presented in United States dollars, will fluctuate as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.

				Weighted average
	Shares under option			Exercise price (Whole dollars)		Remaining contractual term (Years)	Aggregate intrinsic value (1)
Outstanding, January 1, 2011		3,542,642		$	24.30
Granted		550,700			26.44
Exercised		(740,582	)		18.42
Cancelled/Expired		(456,200	)		33.29
Outstanding, December 31, 2011		2,896,560				5.7	$	495

Exercisable, December 31, 2011		1,478,607		$	28.01	3.8	$	403

⁽¹⁾ The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the market price of Lifeco common shares on December 31, 2011 and the exercise price of the option (only if the result is positive) multiplied by the number of options.

The following table presents other information regarding stock options under the Lifeco plan during the year ended December 31, 2011:

	December 31, 2011
Weighted average fair value of options granted	$	4.49
Intrinsic value of options exercised (1)		1,197
Fair value of options vested		1,541

⁽¹⁾ The intrinsic value of options exercised is calculated as the difference between the market price of Lifeco common shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the option multiplied by the number of options exercised.

The fair value of the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2011 was estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

Dividend yield	4.59%
Expected volatility	25.22%
Risk free interest rate	2.62%
Expected duration (years)	5.5

Commitments

Future Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Company’s estimated future contractual obligations as of December 31, 2011:

	Payment due by period
	Less than one year		One to three years		Three to five years		More than five years		Total
Related party long-term debt - principal (1)		-		-		-		528,400		528,400
Related party long-term debt - interest (2)		37,177		74,355		74,355		940,714		1,126,601
Investment purchase obligations (3)		97,694		-		-		-		97,694
Operating leases (4)		4,894		6,913		2,492		1,043		15,342
Other liabilities (5)		64,119		10,179		10,208		55,165		139,671
Total	$	203,884	$	91,447	$	87,055	$	1,525,322	$	1,907,708

⁽¹⁾ Related party long-term debt principal - Represents contractual maturities of principal due to the Company’s parent, GWL&A Financial, under the terms of two long-term surplus notes. The amounts shown in this table differ from the amounts included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet because the amounts shown above do not consider the discount upon the issuance of one of the surplus notes.

⁽²⁾ Related party long-term debt interest - One long-term surplus note bears interest at a fixed rate through maturity. The second surplus note bears interest initially at a fixed rate that will change in the future based upon the then current three-month London Interbank Offering Rate. The interest payments shown in this table are calculated based upon the contractual rates in effect on December 31, 2011 and do not consider the impact of future interest rate changes.

⁽³⁾ Investment purchase obligations - The Company commits to fund limited partnership interests, mortgage loan and other investments in the normal course of its business. As the timing of the fulfillment of the commitment to fund partnership interests cannot be predicted, such obligations are presented in the less than one year category. The timing of the funding of mortgage loans is based on the expiration date of the commitment.

⁽⁴⁾ Operating leases - The Company is obligated to make payments under various non-cancelable operating leases, primarily for office space. Contractual provisions exist that could increase the lease obligations presented, including operating expense escalation clauses. Management does not consider the impact of any such clauses to be material to the Company’s operating lease obligations. The Company incurred rent expense, net of sublease income, of $5,645, $6,047 and $6,767 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

From time to time, the Company enters into agreements or contracts, including capital leases, to purchase goods or services in the normal course of its business. However, these agreements and contracts are not material and are excluded from the table above.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Share Amounts)

⁽⁵⁾ Other liabilities - Other liabilities include those other liabilities which represent contractual obligations not included elsewhere in the table above. If the timing of the payment of any other liabilities was sufficiently uncertain, the amounts were included in the less than one year category.

The Company has a revolving credit facility agreement in the amount of $50,000 for general corporate purposes. The credit facility matures on May 26, 2013. Interest accrues at a rate dependent on various conditions and terms of borrowings. The agreement requires, among other things, the Company to maintain a minimum adjusted net worth, as defined, of $1,000,000 plus 50% of its net income, if positive and as defined in the credit facility agreement (both compiled on the unconsolidated statutory accounting basis prescribed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), for each quarter ending after March 31, 2010. The Company was in compliance with all covenants at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

The Company makes commitments to fund partnership interests and mortgage loans on real estate and other investments in the normal course of its business. The amounts of these unfunded commitments at December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $97,694 and $95,688, respectively, all of which is due within one year from the dates indicated.

Contingencies

The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, the resolutions of these proceedings are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of its operations or cash flows.

19. Subsequent Event

On February 3, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend of $51,600 to be paid to its sole shareholder, GWL&A Financial, during the first quarter of 2012.

Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Contract Owners of

COLI VUL-2 Series Account

and the Board of Directors of

Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the investment divisions which comprise COLI VUL-2 Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the “Series Account”) as listed in Appendix A as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations for the periods presented, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods presented, and the financial highlights in Note 4 for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Series Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Series Account is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Series Account's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011, by correspondence with the mutual fund companies; where replies were not received from the mutual fund companies, we

performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the investment divisions constituting the COLI VUL-2 Series Account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company as of December 31, 2011, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

COLI VUL-2 SERIES ACCOUNT OF

GREAT-WEST LIFE & ANNUITY INSURANCE COMPANY

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The COLI VUL-2 Series Account (the Series Account), a variable life separate account of Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (the Company), is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and exists in accordance with regulations of the Colorado Division of Insurance. The Series Account is a funding vehicle for variable life insurance policies. The Series Account consists of numerous investment divisions (Investment Divisions), each being treated as an individual accounting entity for financial reporting purposes, and each investing all of its investible assets in the named underlying mutual fund.

Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of each of the Investment Divisions of the Series Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the Company’s other assets and liabilities. The portion of the Series Account’s assets applicable to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the Series Account is not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct.

The preparation of financial statements and financial highlights of each of the Investment Divisions in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements and financial highlights and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation

Mutual fund investments held by the Investment Divisions are valued at the reported net asset values of such underlying mutual funds, which value their investment securities at fair value.

The Series Account classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the Series Account’s investments. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuations based on either directly or indirectly observable inputs. These may include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement and may include prices obtained from single broker quotes. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions and would be based on the best information available under the circumstances.

As of December 31, 2011, the only investments of each of the Investment Divisions of the Series Account were in underlying registered investment companies that are actively traded, therefore 100% of the investments are valued using Level 1 inputs. The Series Account recognizes transfers between the levels as of the beginning of the quarter in which the transfer occurred. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year.

Risk Factors

Investing in the Series Account may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.

Unforeseen developments in market conditions may result in the decline of prices of, and the income generated by, the securities held by the Investment Divisions. These events may have adverse effects on the Investment Divisions such as a decline in the value and liquidity of many securities held by the Investment Divisions, and a decrease in net asset value.

The Investment Divisions investing in stocks may involve larger price fluctuation and greater potential for loss than other types of investments. This may cause the Investment Divisions to be subject to larger short-term declines in value.

The Investment Divisions may have elements of risk due to concentrated investments in foreign issuers located in a specific country. Such concentrations may subject the Investment Divisions to additional risks resulting from future political or economic conditions and/or possible impositions of adverse foreign governmental laws or currency exchange restrictions. Investments in securities of non-U.S. issuers have unique risks not present in securities of U.S. issuers, such as greater price volatility and less liquidity.

The Series Account may have Investment Divisions that primarily invest in bonds. Fixed income securities are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that a security could have its credit rating downgraded or that the issuer of the security could fail to make timely payments or default on payments of interest or principal. Additionally, fixed income securities are subject to interest rate risk, meaning the decline in the price of debt securities that accompanies a rise in interest rates. Bonds with longer maturities are subject to greater price fluctuations than bonds with shorter maturities.

The Investment Divisions may be invested in bonds which are rated below investment grade. These high yield bonds may be more susceptible than higher grade bonds to real or perceived adverse economic or industry conditions. The secondary market, on which high yield bonds are traded, may also be less liquid than the market for higher grade bonds.

The Investment Divisions may invest in securities of governmental agencies. Investments in securities of governmental agencies may only be guaranteed by the respective agency’s limited authority to borrow from the U.S. Government and may not be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Security Transactions and Investment Income

Transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and the amounts distributed to the Investment Division for its share of dividends are reinvested in additional full and fractional shares of the related mutual funds.

Federal Income Taxes

The operations of each of the Investment Divisions of the Series Account are included in the federal income tax return of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Company is included in the consolidated federal tax return of Great-West Lifeco U.S. Inc. Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of each of the Investment Divisions of the Series Account to the extent the earnings are credited under the contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made currently to the Series Account for federal income taxes. The Company will periodically review the status of the federal income tax policy in the event of changes in the tax law. A charge may be made in future years for any federal income taxes that would be attributable to the contracts.

Purchase Payments Received

Purchase payments received from contract owners by the Company are credited as accumulation units, and are reported as Contract Transactions on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

Net Transfers

Net transfers include transfers between Investment Divisions of the Series Account as well as transfers between other investment options of the Company, not included in the Series Account.

Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (ASU No. 2010-06). ASU No. 2010-06 provides for disclosure of significant transfers in and out of the fair value hierarchy Levels 1 and 2, and the reasons for these transfers. In addition, ASU No. 2010-06 provides for separate disclosure about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 hierarchy roll forward activity. ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2009 except for the provisions relating to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 investments, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Series Account adopted the disclosure provisions of ASU 2010-06 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010 and adopted the Level 3 purchase, sales, issuances and settlement provisions for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Series Account’s financial position or the results of its operations.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (ASU No. 2011-04). ASU No. 2011-04 does not extend the use of the existing concept or guidance regarding fair value. It results in common fair value measurements and disclosures between accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and those of International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU No. 2011-04 expands disclosure requirements for Level 3 inputs to include a quantitative description of the unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation process used and a qualitative description about the sensitivity of the fair value measurements. ASU No. 2011-04 is effective for interim or annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The Series Account will adopt ASU No. 2011-04 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2012. At this time, the Series Account is evaluating the impact, if any, of ASU No. 2011-04 on financial statements and related disclosures.

3. EXPENSES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Cost of Insurance

The Company deducts from each participant’s account an amount to pay for the insurance provided on each life. This charge varies based on individual characteristics of the policy holder and is recorded as Transfers for contract benefits and terminations on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

Charges Incurred for Partial Surrenders

The Company deducts from each participant’s account a maximum administrative fee of $25 for all partial withdrawals after the first made during the same policy year. This charge is recorded as Transfers for contract benefits and terminations on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

Charges Incurred for Change of Death Benefit Option Fee

The Company deducts from each participant’s account a maximum fee of $100 for each change of death benefit option. This charge is recorded as Transfers for contract benefits and terminations on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

Transfer Fees

The Company deducts from each participant’s account a fee of $10 for each transfer between Investment Divisions in excess of 12 transfers in any calendar year. This charge is recorded as Transfers for contract benefits and terminations on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

Service Charge

The Company deducts from each participant’s account an amount equal to a maximum of $15 per month. This charge compensates the Company for certain administrative costs and is recorded as Contract maintenance charges on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

Deductions for Assumption of Mortality and Expense Risks

The Company deducts an amount, computed and accrued daily, from the unit value of each Investment Division of the Series Account, equal to an annual rate that will not exceed 0.90% annually. Currently, the charge is 0.40% for Policy Years 1 through 5, 0.25% for Policy Years 6 through 20 and 0.10% thereafter. These charges compensate the Company for its assumption of certain mortality, death benefit and expense risks. These charges are recorded as Mortality and expense risk in the Statement of Operations of the applicable Investment Divisions.

Expense Charges Applied to Premium

The Company deducts a maximum charge of 10% from each premium payment. A maximum of 6.5% of this charge will be deducted as sales load to compensate the Company in part for sales and promotional expenses in connection with selling the Policies. A maximum of 3.5% of this charge will be used to cover premium taxes and certain federal income tax obligations resulting from the receipt of premiums. This charge is netted with Purchase payments received on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

If the above charges prove insufficient to cover actual costs and assumed risks, the loss will be borne by the Company; conversely, if the amounts deducted prove more than sufficient, the excess will be a profit to the Company.

Supplemental Benefit Charges

The Company deducts from each participant’s account an amount to pay for certain riders selected by the policy holder. This charge varies based on individual characteristics of the policy holder when the rider is added to the policy and is recorded as Transfers for contract benefits and terminations on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets of the applicable Investment Divisions.

GW Capital Management, LLC, (doing business as Maxim Capital Management, LLC (“MCM”)) a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, serves as investment adviser to Maxim Series Fund, Inc. Fees are assessed against the average daily net assets of the portfolios of Maxim Series Fund, Inc. to compensate MCM for investment advisory services.

4. FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

For each Investment Division, the accumulation units outstanding, net assets, expense ratio (excluding expenses of the underlying funds), total return and accumulation unit fair values for each year or period ended December 31 are included on the following pages.

The Expense Ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the respective Investment Divisions of the Series Account, consisting of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded.

The Total Return amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These returns do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment Divisions with a date notation indicate the effective date that the investment option was available in the Series Account. The total returns are calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period and are not annualized for periods less than one year. As the total returns for the Investment Divisions of the Series Account are presented as a range of minimum to maximum values, based on the product grouping representing the minimum and maximum expense ratio amounts, some individual contract total returns are not within the ranges presented.

The Investment Income Ratio represents the dividends, excluding prospectus, and are reported as distributions of capital gains, received by the Investment Division from the underlying mutual fund divided by average net assets during the period. It is not annualized for periods less than one year. The ratio excludes those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the Investment Division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Investment Division invests. The Investment Income Ratios for each of the Investment Divisions are disclosed on the Statement of Operations.

Item 29. Indemnification. Provisions exist under the Colorado Business Corporation Act and the Bylaws of Great-West whereby Great-West may indemnify a director, officer or controlling person of Great-West against any liability incurred in his or her official capacity. The following excerpts contain the substance of these provisions:

Colorado Business Corporation Act

Article 109 - INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7-109-101. Definitions.

As used in this Article:

(1) “Corporation” includes any domestic or foreign entity that is a predecessor of the corporation by reason of a merger, or other transaction in which the predecessor’s existence ceased upon consummation of the transaction.

(2) “Director” means an individual who is or was a director of a corporation or an individual who, while a director of a corporation, is or was serving at the corporation’s request as a director, an officer, an agent, an associate, an employee, a fiduciary, a manager, a member, a partner, a promoter, or a trustee of, or to hold any similar position with, another domestic or foreign entity or employee benefit plan. A director is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the corporation’s request if the director’s duties to the corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, the director to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan. “Director” includes, unless the context requires otherwise, the estate or personal representative of a director.

(3) “Expenses” includes counsel fees.

(4) “Liability” means the obligation incurred with respect to a proceeding to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses.

(5) “Official capacity” means, when used with respect to a director, the office of director in the corporation and, when used with respect to a person other than a director as contemplated in Section 7-109-107, the office in a corporation held by the officer or the employment, fiduciary, or agency relationship undertaken by the employee, fiduciary, or agent on behalf of the corporation. “Official capacity” does not include service for any other domestic or foreign corporation or other person or employee benefit plan.

(6) “Party” includes a person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding.

(7) “Proceeding” means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative and whether formal or informal.

Section 7-109-102. Authority to indemnify directors.

(1) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, a corporation may indemnify a person made a party to the proceeding because the person is or was a director against liability incurred in the proceeding if:

(a) The person conducted himself or herself in good faith; and

(b) The person reasonably believed:

(I)    In the case of conduct in an official capacity with the corporation, that his or her conduct was in the corporation’s best interests; and

(II)    In all other cases, that his or her conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and

(c) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.

(2) A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose the director reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan is conduct that satisfies the requirements of subparagraph (II) of paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section. A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose that the director did not reasonably believe to be in the interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan shall be deemed not to satisfy the requirements of subparagraph (a) of subsection (1) of this section.

(3) The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, is not, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in this section.

(4) A corporation may not indemnify a director under this section:

(a) In connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation; or

(b) In connection with any proceeding charging that the director derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving action in an official capacity, in which proceeding the director was adjudged liable on the basis that he or she derived an improper personal benefit.

(5) Indemnification permitted under this section in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of a corporation is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding.

Section 7-109-103. Mandatory Indemnification of Directors.

Unless limited by the articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a person who was wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in defense of any proceeding to which the person was a party because the person is or was a director, against reasonable expenses incurred by him or her in connection with the proceeding.

Section 7-109-104. Advance of Expenses to Directors.

(1) A corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by a director who is a party to a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding if:

(a) The director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of the director’s good-faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct described in Section 7-109-102;

(b) The director furnishes the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or on the director’s behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet such standard of conduct; and

(c) A determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under this article.

(2) The undertaking required by paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section shall be an unlimited general obligation of the director but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

(3) Determinations and authorizations of payments under this section shall be made in the manner specified in Section 7-109-106.

Section 7-109-105. Court-Ordered Indemnification of Directors.

(1) Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation, a director who is or was a party to a proceeding may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application, the court, after giving any notice the court considers necessary, may order indemnification in the following manner:

(a) If it determines the director is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 7-109-103, the court shall order indemnification, in which case the court shall also order the corporation to pay the director’s reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.

(b) If it determines that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances, whether or not the director met the standard of conduct set forth in section 7-109-102 (1) or was adjudged liable in the circumstances described in Section 7-109-102 (4), the court may order such indemnification as the court deems proper; except that the indemnification with respect to any proceeding in which liability shall have been adjudged in the circumstances described Section 7-109-102 (4) is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding and reasonable expenses incurred to obtain court-ordered indemnification.

Section 7-109-106. Determination and Authorization of Indemnification of Directors.

(1) A corporation may not indemnify a director under Section 7-109-102 unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of the director is permissible in the circumstances because he has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 7-109-102. A corporation shall not advance expenses to a director under Section 7-109-104 unless authorized in the specific case after the written affirmation and undertaking required by Section 7-109-104(1)(a) and (1)(b) are received and the determination required by Section 7-109-104(1)(c) has been made.

(2) The determinations required by under subsection (1) of this section shall be made:

(a) By the board of directors by a majority vote of those present at a meeting at which a quorum is present, and only those directors not parties to the proceeding shall be counted in satisfying the quorum; or

(b) If a quorum cannot be obtained, by a majority vote of a committee of the board of directors designated by the board of directors, which committee shall consist of two or more directors not parties to the proceeding; except that directors who are parties to the proceeding may participate in the designation of directors for the committee.

(3) If a quorum cannot be obtained as contemplated in paragraph (a) of subsection (2) of this section, and the committee cannot be established under paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of this section, or even if a quorum is obtained or a committee designated, if a majority of the directors constituting such quorum or such committee so directs, the determination required to be made by subsection (1) of this section shall be made:

(a) By independent legal counsel selected by a vote of the board of directors or the committee in the manner specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection (2) of this section or, if a quorum of the full board cannot be obtained and a committee cannot be established, by independent legal counsel selected by a majority vote of the full board of directors; or

(b) By the shareholders

(4) Authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible; except that, if the determination that indemnification or advance of expenses is permissible is made by independent legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and advance of expenses shall be made by the body that selected such counsel.

Section 7-109-107. Indemnification of Officer, Employees, Fiduciaries, and Agents.

(1) Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation:

(a) An officer is entitled to mandatory indemnification under section 7-109-103, and is entitled to apply for court-ordered indemnification under section 7-109-105, in each case to the same extent as a director;

(b) A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director; and

(c) A corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent who is not a director to a greater extent, if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by its bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders, or contract.

Section 7-109-108. Insurance.

A corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary, or agent of any other domestic or foreign entity or of an employee benefit plan, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from the person’s status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against such liability under the Section 7-109-102, 7-109-103 or 7-109-107. Any such insurance may be procured from any insurance company designated by the board of directors, whether such insurance company is formed under the laws of this state or any other jurisdiction of the United States or elsewhere, including any insurance company in which the corporation has an equity or any other interest through stock ownership or otherwise.

Section 7-109-109. Limitation of Indemnification of Directors.

(1) A provision treating a corporation’s indemnification of, or advance of expenses to, directors that is contained in its articles of incorporation or bylaws, in a resolution of its shareholders or board of directors, or in a contract, except for an insurance policy or otherwise, is valid only to the extent the provision is not inconsistent with Sections 7-109-101 to 7-109-108. If the articles of incorporation limit indemnification or advance of expenses, indemnification or advance of expenses are valid only to the extent not inconsistent with the articles of incorporation.

(2) Sections 7-109-101 to 7-109-108 do not limit a corporation’s power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with an appearance as a witness in a proceeding at a time when he or she has not been made a named defendant or respondent in the proceeding.

Section 7-109-110. Notice to Shareholders of Indemnification of Director.

If a corporation indemnifies or advances expenses to a director under this article in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, the corporation shall give written notice of the indemnification or advance to the shareholders with or before the notice of the next shareholders’ meeting. If the next shareholder action is taken without a meeting at the instigation of the board of directors, such notice shall be given to the shareholders at or before the time the first shareholder signs a writing consenting to such action.
