Certain terms used in this supplement have special meanings. If a term is not defined in this supplement, it has the meaning given to it in your Prospectus. It should be read in its entirety and kept together with your Prospectus for future reference. If you have any questions or would like a copy of the Prospectus, please contact us at 1-800-343-8496, or write us at MetLife, Annuity Service Office, P.O. Box 10366, Des Moines, IA, 50306-0366.

The Prospectus is revised as follows:

Your selling firm may limit the Shield Options available through that firm when your Contract is issued.

 

  2. Under the heading “PURCHASE” on page 13, the following is added to the end of the first paragraph:

Your selling firm may limit the Shield Options available through that firm when your Contract is issued. However, at the end of your initial Shield Option(s), you may transfer into any Shield Option(s) available under the Contract, subject to any transfer restrictions (see “TRANSFERS”). Please be aware that your registered representative may not be able to provide you information or answer questions you may have with regard to those Shield Options that your selling firm does not make available. Therefore, you may contact us directly at (800)-343-8496 or in writing at MetLife, Annuity Service Office, P.O. Box 10366, Des Moines, IA, 50306-0366.
