Re: | Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company (Great-West) |
COLI VUL-2 Series Account (Registrant) |
Post-Effective Amendment No. 28 to Registration Statement on Form N-6 |
(Amendment) |
File Nos. 333-70963 & 811-09201 |
Commissioners:
On behalf of Great-West and the above-named Registrant and pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), filed herewith is one electronically formatted copy of the above-captioned Amendment to Registrants registration statement on Form N-6 for a flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy (the Policy).
To facilitate the Commission staffs review of the Amendment, we will be providing a courtesy copy of this letter to Mr. Patrick Scott in the Insured Investments Office. Capitalized terms in this letter have the same meaning as the defined terms in the prospectus filed as part of the Registration Statement.
1. | Summary of Changes |
As background, on December 4, 2013, Great-West ceased selling its Individual Retirement Bonus product that had been issued out of its COLI VUL-4 Series Account. Individual purchasers may now purchase the Policy (known as the Executive Benefits VUL II product) issued by Registrant. (The prospectus for an earlier version of the Policy known as Executive Benefits VUL is also part of the Amendment, but the earlier version is no longer being sold.) To accommodate for individual purchasers, we have made a few changes to the prospectuses, as outlined below.
To facilitate the Commission staffs review of the Amendment, following is a summary of the changes giving rise to the need to file pursuant to Rule 485(a):

| Clarification that the Change of Insured Rider is not available to individual Owners (on pages 6, 11, and 31 of the Executive Benefits VUL II prospectus and on pages 6, 11, 34 and 52 of the Executive Benefits VUL prospectus), and |
| Clarification that, where permitted by applicable state insurance law, if the Policy is surrendered for the Surrender Benefit within the first six Policy Years, Great-West will return a percentage of the expense charge. This provision applies to all Owners of the Executive Benefits VUL II Policy (as reflected on page 21 of the Executive Benefits VUL II prospectus). |
2. | Procedural Matters |
Registrant is filing the Amendment pursuant to Rule 485(a) under the Securities Act. Other than the changes reflected in the Amendment, Registrant does not anticipate any further material deletions or revisions to the prospectus or statement of additional information contained in the Registration Statement.
Registrant will file a subsequent amendment under Rule 485(b) to reflect responses to Commission staff comments, if any, on the Amendment and to include financial statements and other information required to be updated annually.
3. | Timetable for Effectiveness |
Registrant has requested that the Amendment will automatically become effective on May 1, 2014. We would appreciate the Commission staffs efforts in processing the Amendment in keeping with that timetable.
Please direct any question or comment to me at 303-737-3821 or to Ann B. Furman of Carlton Fields Jorden Burt, P.A., at 202-965-8130.
Sincerely yours,
