Individual Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policies

Issued by

Nationwide Life Insurance Company

through its

Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2

The date of this prospectus is May 1, 2017.

This prospectus contains basic information about the policies that should be understood before investing. Read this prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference.

Variable life insurance policies are complex products with unique benefits and advantages. There are costs and charges associated with these benefits and advantages - costs and charges that are different, or do not exist at all within other life insurance products. With help from financial consultants and advisors, purchasers are encouraged to compare and contrast the costs and benefits of the policy described in this prospectus against those of other life insurance products, especially other variable life insurance products offered by Nationwide and its affiliates. Nationwide offers a wide array of products, many with different charges, benefit features, and underlying investment options. This process of comparison and analysis should aid in determining whether the purchase of the policy described in this prospectus is consistent with the purchaser’s life insurance objectives, risk tolerance, investment time horizon, marital status, tax situation, and other personal characteristics and needs.

To obtain additional information, including free copies of prospectuses for the underlying mutual funds or a copy of the Statement of Additional Information, or to make service or transaction requests, contact Nationwide using any of the methods described in Contacting the Service Center.

These securities have not been approved or disapproved by the SEC nor has the SEC passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This prospectus is not an offering in any jurisdiction where such offering may not lawfully be made. Not all Riders, terms, conditions, benefits, programs, features, and investment options are available or approved for use in every state. Contact Nationwide to review a copy of the policy and any Riders or endorsements. This prospectus contains all material rights and features of the policy.

The policy is NOT: insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; a bank deposit; available in every state; or insured or endorsed by a bank or any federal government agency.

The policy may decrease in value to the point of being valueless because of poor Investment Experience.

The purpose of this policy is to provide life insurance protection for the beneficiary named by the policy owner. If the purchaser’s primary need is not life insurance protection, then purchasing this policy may not be in the best interest of the purchaser. Nationwide makes no claim that the policy is in any way similar or comparable to a systematic investment plan of a mutual fund.

If this policy is being purchased to replace existing life insurance, the purchaser should carefully consider the benefits, features, and costs of this policy versus those of the policy being replaced.

Nationwide offers a variety of variable universal life policies. Despite offering substantially similar features and investment options, certain policies may have lower overall charges than others including the policy described herein. These differences in charges may be attributable to differences in sales and related expenses incurred in one distribution channel versus another.

The Sub-Accounts offered through this policy invest in the underlying mutual funds listed below. Not all Sub-Accounts listed may be available for every policy. For a complete list of the available Sub-Accounts, including Sub-Accounts available prior to the date of this prospectus, see Appendix A: Sub-Account Information. For more information on the underlying mutual funds, refer to the prospectus for the mutual fund. To obtain free copies of prospectuses for the underlying mutual funds, policy owners can contact Nationwide using any of the methods described in Contacting the Service Center.

In Summary: Policy Benefits

Death Benefit

The primary benefit of this policy is life insurance coverage. Nationwide will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds upon the Insured's death if the Insured dies while the policy is In Force. The policy is In Force when: the policy has been issued; the initial Premium has been paid; the Insured is living; the policy has not been surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value; and the policy has not Lapsed.

Death Benefit Options

Note: The Death Benefit will be the greater of the amount produced by the death benefit option in effect on the date of the Insured's death or the Minimum Required Death Benefit, see The Minimum Required Death Benefit.

Death Benefit Option 1: The Death Benefit will be the greater of the Total Specified Amount or the applicable percentage of Cash Value. The amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds will ordinarily not change for several years to reflect Investment Experience and may not change at all. If Investment Experience is favorable, the amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds may increase.

Death Benefit Option 2: The Death Benefit will be the greater of the Total Specified Amount plus the Cash Value as of the date of death or the applicable percentage of Cash Value, and will vary directly with Investment Experience.

Benefit Payout

Policy Proceeds will be paid out in a lump sum.

Coverage Flexibility

Subject to conditions, the policy owner may choose to:

• change the death benefit option;

• increase or decrease the Base Policy Specified Amount and/or Rider Specified Amount;

• change beneficiaries; and

• change ownership of the policy.

Access to Cash Value

Subject to conditions, the policy owner may:

• take a policy loan, see Policy Loans.

• take a partial surrender, see Partial Surrender.

• surrender the policy for its Cash Surrender Value at any time while the policy is In Force, see Full Surrender.

Premium Flexibility

The policy owner will select a Premium payment plan for the policy at the time of application. Within limits, the policy owner may vary the frequency and amount of Premium payments, see Premium Payments and Unfavorable Investment Experience.

Investment Options

Net Premium, loan repayments, and Cash Value may be allocated among fixed and/or variable investment options available in the policy.

The policy currently offers a fixed investment option which will earn interest daily, see Fixed Account.

6

The variable investment options offered under the policy correspond to mutual funds designed to be the underlying investment options of variable insurance products. Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 contains one Sub-Account for each of the underlying mutual funds offered in the policy.

Transfer Requests

Policy owners may request to transfer allocations between available investment options of the policy (i.e., the Fixed Account and Sub-Accounts). Requests to transfer allocations between policy investment options will be processed in the Valuation Period they are received at the Service Center as long as the request is in good order. Requests that are not in good order may be delayed or returned, see Contacting the Service Center. Transfer requests may be subject to policies and procedures intended to reduce the potentially detrimental impact that disruptive trading has on Sub-Account Investment Experience, see Transfers Among and Between Policy Investment Options.

Taxes

Earnings on the policy are generally not taxable to the policy owner, unless withdrawn from the policy. This is known as tax deferral. In addition, beneficiaries generally will not have to include Death Benefit Proceeds as taxable income, see Taxes.

Unlike other variable insurance products Nationwide offers, Individual Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policies do not require distributions to be made before the Insured's death, see Taxes.

Assignment

Policy owners may assign the policy as collateral for a loan or another obligation while the policy is In Force, see Assigning the Policy.

Examination Right

For a limited time, the policy owner may cancel the policy and receive a refund, see Right To Cancel (Examination Right).

Riders

The policy owner may purchase one or more of the Riders listed below, subject to availability in the state where the policy is issued. There may be additional charges assessed for elected Riders and Rider charges may vary based upon the individual characteristics of the Insured. Operation and benefits of the Riders described in this prospectus may vary by the state where the policy is issued.

• Accidental Death Benefit Rider

• Base Insured Term Rider

• Change of Insured Rider

• Children's Insurance Rider

• Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider

• Spouse Life Insurance Rider

• Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider

In Summary: Policy Risks

State Variations

Due to variations in state law, many features of the policy described in this prospectus may be different or may not be available at all depending on the state in which the policy is issued.

Possible variations include, but are not limited to, Rider terms and availability, availability of certain investment options, free look rights, policy exchange rights, policy Lapse and/or reinstatement requirements, and the duration of suicide and incontestability periods. Variations due to state law are subject to change without notice at any time. To review a copy of the policy and any Riders or endorsements for the state in which the policy will be issued, the policy owner can contact the Service Center, see Contacting the Service Center.

7

Risk of Increase in Current Fees and Charges

Nationwide may change policy and/or Rider charges and rates under the policy at any time. Changes in policy and/or Rider charges and rates will vary based upon changes in Nationwide's future expectations related to items such as company investment earnings, mortality experience, persistency experience, expenses, including reinsurance expenses, and taxes. Nationwide will provide advance notice of any increase in policy and/or Rider charges.

If a change in the charges or rates causes an increase to the policy and/or Rider charges, the policy's Cash Value could decrease. If a change in the charges or rates causes a decrease to the policy and/or Rider charges, the policy's Cash Value could increase. Policy and Rider charges will not exceed the maximum charges shown in the fee tables, see In Summary: Fee Tables and Standard Policy Charges.

Improper Use

Variable universal life insurance is not suitable as an investment vehicle for short-term savings. It is designed for long-term financial planning. Policy owners accessing the Cash Value in the early policy years could incur potentially substantial surrender charges.

Unfavorable Investment Experience

The Sub-Accounts may generate unfavorable Investment Experience. Poor Investment Experience and the deduction of policy and Sub-Account charges may lower the policy’s Cash Value potentially resulting in a Lapse of insurance coverage.

Note: The policy owner selects the Premium amount and frequency shown in the policy illustration to show Nationwide how much Premium the policy owner intends to pay and when. Illustrated Premium and hypothetical rates of return are not guaranteed. Investment Experience varies over time, is rarely the same year-over-year, and may be negative. Because the policy is a variable universal life insurance policy with the potential for unfavorable Investment Experience, including extended periods of significant stock market decline, additional Premium may be required to meet a policy owner's goals and/or to prevent the policy from Lapsing. Generally, variable universal life insurance is considered a long-term investment. Policy owners should weigh the investment risk and costs associated with the policy against their objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, and ability to pay additional Premium if necessary.

Adverse Tax Consequences

Existing federal tax laws that benefit this policy may change at any time. These changes could alter the favorable federal income tax treatment the policy enjoys, such as the deferral of taxation on the gains in the policy's Cash Value and the exclusion of the Death Benefit Proceeds from the taxable income of the policy's beneficiary. Partial and full surrenders from the policy may be subject to taxes. The income tax treatment of the surrender of Cash Value is different in the event the policy is treated as a modified endowment contract under the Code. Generally, tax treatment of modified endowment contracts is less favorable when compared to a life insurance policy that is not a modified endowment contract. For example, distributions and loans from modified endowment contracts may currently be taxed as ordinary income and not a return of investment, see Taxes.

The proceeds of a life insurance policy are includible in the gross estate of the Insured for federal income tax purposes if either (a) the proceeds are payable to the executor of the estate of the Insured, or (b) the Insured, at any time within three years prior to his or her death, possessed any incident of ownership in the policy. For this purpose, the Treasury Regulations provide that the term "incident of ownership" is to be construed very broadly, and includes any right that the Insured may have with respect to the economic benefits in the policy. Consult a qualified tax advisor on all tax matters involving the policy described herein.

Fixed Account Transfer Restrictions and Limitations

In addition to the Sub-Accounts available under the policy, Net Premium can be allocated to the Fixed Account. Prior to the policy's Maturity Date, the policy owner may make transfers involving the Fixed Account subject to transfer restrictions, without penalty or adjustment. These transfers will be in dollars and Nationwide may limit the frequency and dollar amount of transfers involving the Fixed Account. See Fixed Account Transfers for details about restrictions that apply to transfers to and from the Fixed Account.

8

Sub-Account Limitations

Frequent trading among the Sub-Accounts may dilute the value of Accumulation Units, cause the Sub-Account to incur higher transaction costs, and interfere with the Sub-Accounts' ability to pursue their stated investment objectives. This could result in less favorable Investment Experience and a lower Cash Value. Some mutual funds held by the Sub-Accounts assess a short-term trading fee in order to minimize the potentially adverse effects of short-term trading on the mutual fund. Nationwide has instituted procedures to minimize disruptive transfers. While Nationwide expects these procedures to reduce the adverse effect of disruptive transfers, it cannot ensure that it has eliminated these risks.

Sub-Account Investment Risk

A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each underlying mutual fund may be found in the mutual fund’s prospectus. Read each mutual fund's prospectus before investing. Free copies of each mutual fund's prospectus may be obtained by contacting the Service Center, see Contacting the Service Center.

Risk of Policy Lapse

Cash Surrender Value can be reduced by Investment Experience, policy loans, partial surrenders and the deduction of policy charges. Underlying mutual fund fees are factored into the NAV used to calculate the Accumulation Unit Value of each Sub-Account and may also reduce Cash Surrender Value, see Mutual Fund Operating Expenses. Whenever Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the policy’s charges, the policy is at risk of Lapse; the policy could terminate without value and insurance coverage would cease.

Limitation of Access To Cash Value

A policy owner can access Cash Value through loans and partial surrenders, subject to limitations. Limitations include the amount and frequency of the loan or partial surrender, see Policy Loans and Surrenders.

In Summary: Fee Tables

The following tables describe the fees and expenses assessed under the policy. The rates in these tables may be rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth decimal. These tables should be read in conjunction with the corresponding section of this prospectus that describes the fee or expense in more detail. All charges deducted from the policy's Cash Value are taken proportionally from the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account except where noted.

The first table describes the fees and expenses that a policy owner will pay at the time the policy owner pays Premium into the policy, surrenders the policy, or transfers Cash Value between investment options.

Transaction Fees
Charge	When Charge Is Deducted	Amount Deducted
Sales Load1	Upon making a Premium payment	Maximum $25 from each $1,000 of Premium		Current $25 from each $1,000 of Premium
Premium Taxes1	Upon making a Premium payment	$35 per $1,000 of Premium

		From the Policy's available Cash Value
Illustration Charge3	Upon requesting an illustration	Maximum $25		Current $0

9

Transaction Fees
Charge	When Charge Is Deducted	Amount Deducted
Partial Surrender Fee	Upon a partial surrender	Maximum the lesser of $25 or 2% of the surrendered amount	Current $0
Short-Term Trading Fee4	Upon transfer of Sub-Account value out of a Sub-Account within 60 days after allocation to that Sub-Account	1% of the amount transferred from the Sub-Account within 60 days of allocation to that Sub-Account

†	This charge will vary based upon the individual characteristics of the Insured. Representative charges shown in the table may not be representative of the charge that a particular policy owner will pay. Policy owners can request an illustration of specific costs and/or see the Policy Data Pages for information about specific charges of the policy.
1	The maximum Sales Load and the Premium Taxes charge (collectively "Premium Load") represent the maximums that may be charged in any policy year, see Premium Load. Currently, the sales load is reduced to $5 per $1,000 of Premium payment on any portion of the annual Premium in excess of the break point Premium, as shown on the Policy Data Page.
2	The charge calculations shown assume an aggregate first year Premium in excess of the surrender target premium. The surrender target premium is an assumed Premium payment amount used in calculating the surrender charge. The surrender charge is based on the lesser of the surrender target premium and the Premiums paid in the first year from the Policy Date. The surrender target premium varies by: the Insured's sex; age (when the policy was issued); underwriting class and the Base Policy Specified Amount (and any increases). The maximum Surrender Charge calculation assumes: a female age 18; non-tobacco; Base Policy Specified Amount and Total Specified Amount $500,000; Death Benefit Option 1; and a full surrender occurring in the first year from the Policy Date. The minimum charge calculation assumes: a male age 75 or older; tobacco; Base Policy Specified Amount and Total Specified Amount $500,000; Death Benefit Option 1; and a full surrender occurring in the first year from the Policy Date.
3	The policy owner will be expected to pay the Illustration Charge at the time of the request. This charge will not be deducted from Cash Value.
4	Short-term trading fees are only assessed in connection with Sub-Accounts that correspond to underlying mutual funds that assess a short-term trading fee to the variable account, see Short-Term Trading Fees.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that a policy owner will pay periodically while the policy is In Force, not including mutual fund operating expenses.

Representative charges shown in the table may not be representative of the charge that a particular policy owner will pay. Policy owners can request an illustration of specific costs and/or see the Policy Data Pages for information about specific charges of the policy.
1	The Flat Extra Charge is only applicable if certain factors result in an Insured having a Substandard Rating. Under no circumstance will the assessment of a Flat Extra Charge result in the Cost of Insurance Charge exceeding the maximum Cost of Insurance Charge, see Cost of Insurance.
2	After the ninth policy year, the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge continues to be $8.00 per $1,000 of variable Cash Value on the first $25,000 of Cash Value, but only $5.00 per $1,000 on additional variable Cash Value. For policies issued in New York, the charge is reduced regardless of the Cash Value.
3	After the first policy year the monthly maximum Administrative Charge is $7.50, and the current amount deducted on a monthly basis is $5.
4	The increase charge will be deducted upon a request to increase the Base Policy Specified Amount and on a monthly basis for 12 months after the increase.
5	Interest is charged on the amount of an outstanding loan, but interest is also credited on amounts in the policy loan account, see Policy Loans.During years two through 14 from the Policy Date, the current interest crediting rate is 5.1%. Thereafter, the current interest crediting rate is 6.0% per annum for all loans (guaranteed minimum of 4.0%).

Policy Investment Options

Policy owners designate how Net Premium payments, loan repayments, and Cash Value are allocated among the Sub-Accounts and/or the Fixed Account. Allocation instructions must be in whole percentages and the sum of the allocations must equal 100%.

Fixed Account

Nationwide's obligations under the Fixed Account are backed by assets of its general account. The general account contains all of Nationwide's assets other than those in this and other Nationwide separate accounts and is used to support Nationwide's annuity and insurance obligations.

12

Subject to applicable law, Nationwide has sole discretion over the investment of assets of the general account and policy owners do not share in the investment experience of, or have any preferential claim on, those assets. Nationwide bears the full investment risk for all amounts allocated to the Fixed Account.

Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Account have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and the general account has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are subject to the provisions of these acts. Nationwide has been advised that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. Disclosure regarding the Fixed Account, however, is subject to certain generally-applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.

Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate

Nationwide guarantees that Cash Value allocated to the Fixed Account will accrue interest daily at an effective annual rate that Nationwide determines without regard to the actual investment experience of the general account. Interest crediting rates are set at the beginning of each calendar quarter but are subject to change at any time. Nationwide will credit any interest in excess of the guaranteed interest crediting rate at its sole discretion. Nationwide may not credit any interest in excess of the guaranteed interest crediting rate and different rates may apply to different Premium allocations or exchanges.

Currently, the Fixed Account is the only fixed investment option available under the policy. In the future, Nationwide may offer one or more additional fixed accounts with characteristics that differ from those of the current option, but is under no obligation to do so. The effective annual rate Nationwide declares for the Fixed Account will never be less than 4%.

Interest Crediting Risks and Lapse

The policy owner assumes the risk that the actual credited interest rate may not exceed the guaranteed interest crediting rate. Premiums applied to the policy at different times may receive different interest crediting rates. The interest crediting rate may also vary for new Premium versus Sub-Account transfers. Interest credited to the Fixed Account may be insufficient to pay the policy's charges. Additional Premium payments may be required over the life of the policy to prevent it from Lapsing.

Nationwide’s Claims-Paying Ability

Guaranteed benefits or interest crediting associated with the Fixed Account is a general account obligation of Nationwide. Therefore, any guaranteed benefit, interest crediting, and the policy owner's right to receive payment, is subject to Nationwide’s claims-paying ability and may be subordinate to other claims on the general account in the event Nationwide becomes insolvent.

Restrictions on Transfers to and from the Fixed Account

Prior to the policy's Maturity Date, the policy owner may make transfers involving the Fixed Account. These transfers will be in dollars. Nationwide may impose limits on the dollar amount, percentage of Cash Value, number, and/or frequency of transfers involving the Fixed Account, see Fixed Account Transfers for details about restrictions that apply to transfers to and from the Fixed Account.

Variable Investment Options

The variable investment options available under the policy are Sub-Accounts that correspond to mutual funds that are registered with the SEC. The mutual funds' registration with the SEC does not involve the SEC's supervision of the management or investment practices or policies of the mutual funds. The mutual funds are designed primarily as investments for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by insurance companies.

Each Sub-Account's assets are held separately from the assets of the other Sub-Accounts. The result is that each Sub-Account operates independently of the other Sub-Accounts so the income or losses of one Sub-Account will not affect the Investment Experience of any other Sub-Account.

Underlying mutual funds in the separate account are NOT publicly traded mutual funds. They are only 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.

13

The investment advisors of the underlying mutual funds may manage publicly traded mutual funds with similar names and investment objectives. However, the underlying mutual funds are NOT directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Policy owners should not compare the performance of a publicly traded fund with the performance of underlying mutual funds participating in the separate account. The performance of the underlying mutual funds could differ substantially from that of any publicly traded funds.

The particular underlying mutual funds available under the policy may change from time to time. Specifically, underlying mutual funds or underlying mutual fund share classes that are currently available may be removed or closed off to future investment. New underlying mutual funds or new share classes of currently available underlying mutual funds may be added. In the case of new share class additions, future allocations may be limited to the new share classes. The policy owner will receive notice of any such changes that effect the policy. Not all underlying mutual funds may be available in every state.

Some underlying mutual funds may assess short-term trading fees. The separate account will collect the short-term trading fee at the time of the transfer by reducing the amount transferred. All short-term trading fees collected are remitted to the underlying mutual fund, see Short-Term Trading Fees and Appendix A: Sub-Account Information.

In the future, additional underlying mutual funds managed by certain financial institutions, brokerage firms, or their affiliates may be added to the separate account. These additional underlying mutual funds may be offered exclusively to purchasing customers of the particular financial institution or brokerage firm, or through other exclusive distribution arrangements.

Valuation of Accumulation Units

Nationwide accounts for the value of a policy owner's interest in the Sub-Accounts by using Accumulation Units. The value of each Accumulation Unit varies daily based on the Investment Experience of the underlying mutual fund in which the Sub-Account invests. Nationwide uses each underlying mutual fund's Net Asset Value (NAV) to calculate the daily Accumulation Unit value for the corresponding Sub-Account. Note, however, that the Accumulation Unit value will not equal the underlying mutual fund's NAV. This daily Accumulation Unit valuation process is referred to as "pricing" the Accumulation Units, see How Sub-Account Investment Experience is Determined.

Accumulation Units are priced as of the New York Stock Exchange's (NYSE) close of business, normally 4:00 p.m. EST, on each day that it is open. Nationwide will price Accumulation Units on each day that the NYSE is open for business. Any transactions received after the close of the NYSE will be priced as of the next Valuation Period. Nationwide will not price Accumulation Units on these recognized holidays:

• New Year's Day

• Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

• Presidents' Day

• Good Friday

• Memorial Day

• Independence Day

• Labor Day

• Thanksgiving

• Christmas

 

 

In addition, Nationwide will not price Accumulation Units if:

(1)	trading on the NYSE is restricted;
(2)	an emergency exists making disposal or valuation of securities held in the separate account impracticable; or
(3)	the SEC, by order, permits a suspension or postponement for the protection of security holders.

SEC rules and regulations govern when the conditions described in items (1) and (2) exist.

How Sub-Account Investment Experience is Determined

Sub-Account allocations are accounted for in Accumulation Units. A policy owner's interest in the Sub-Accounts is represented by the number of Accumulation Units owned by the policy owner. The number of Accumulation Units associated with a given Sub-Account allocation is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to the Sub-Account by the Accumulation Unit value for the Sub-Account. The number of Sub-Account Accumulation Units owned by a policy owner will not change except when Accumulation Units are redeemed to process a requested surrender, transfer, loan, or to take policy charges, or when additional Accumulation Units are purchased with Premium and loan repayments.

14

Initially, Nationwide sets the Accumulation Unit value at $10 for each Sub-Account. Thereafter, the daily value of Accumulation Units in a Sub-Account will vary depending on the Investment Experience of the underlying mutual fund in which the Sub-Account invests. Nationwide accounts for these performance fluctuations by using a "net investment factor," as described below, in the daily Sub-Account valuation calculations. Changes in the net investment factor may not be directly proportional to changes in the NAV of the mutual fund shares.

Nationwide determines the net investment factor for each Sub-Account on each Valuation Period by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) where:

(a) is the sum of:

• the NAV per share of the mutual fund held in the Sub-Account as of the end of the current Valuation Period; and

• the per share amount of any dividend or income distributions made by the mutual fund held in the Sub-Account (if the date of the dividend or income distribution occurs during the current Valuation Period); plus or minus

• a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for as a result of the Sub-Account's investment operations if changes to the law result in a modification to the tax treatment of the separate account; and

(b)	is the NAV per share of the mutual fund held in the Sub-Account determined as of the end of the immediately preceding Valuation Period; and
(c)	is a factor representing the daily mortality and expense risk charge.

Nationwide determines the Sub-Account’s Accumulation Unit value at the end of each Valuation Period. The Accumulation Unit value for any Valuation Period is determined by multiplying the Accumulation Unit value as of the prior Valuation Period by the net investment factor for the Sub-Account for the current Valuation Period.

Transfers Among and Between the Policy Investment Options

Sub-Account Transfers

Policy owners may request transfers to or from the Sub-Accounts once per Valuation Period, subject to the terms and conditions described in this prospectus and the prospectuses of the underlying mutual funds. Transfers will be implemented by redeeming Accumulation Units from the Sub-Account(s) indicated by the policy owner and using the redemption proceeds to purchase Accumulation Units in another Sub-Account(s) as directed by the policy owner. The net result is that the policy owner's Cash Value will not change (except due to standard market fluctuations), but the number and allocation of Accumulation Units within the policy will change.

Neither the policies nor the mutual funds are designed to support active trading strategies that require frequent movement between or among Sub-Accounts (sometimes referred to as "market-timing" or "short-term trading"). A policy owner who intends to use an active trading strategy should consult his/her registered representative and request information on other Nationwide policies that offer mutual funds that are designed specifically to support active trading strategies.

Nationwide discourages (and will take action to deter) short-term trading in this policy because the frequent movement between or among Sub-Accounts may negatively impact other investors in the policy. Short-term trading can result in:

• the dilution of the value of the investors' interests in the mutual fund;

• mutual fund managers taking actions that negatively impact performance (i.e., keeping a larger portion of the mutual fund assets in cash or liquidating investments prematurely in order to support redemption requests); and/or

• increased administrative costs due to frequent purchases and redemptions.

To protect investors in this policy from the negative impact of these practices, Nationwide has implemented, or reserves the right to implement, several processes and/or restrictions aimed at eliminating the negative impact of active trading strategies. Nationwide cannot guarantee that attempts to deter active trading strategies will be successful.

If Nationwide is unable to deter active trading strategies, the performance of the Sub-Accounts that are actively traded may be adversely impacted. Policy owners remaining in the affected Sub-Account will bear any resulting increased costs.

15

Short-Term Trading Fees

Some underlying mutual funds assess a short-term trading fee in connection with transfers from a Sub-Account that occur within 60 days after the date of the allocation to the Sub-Account. The fee is assessed against the amount transferred and is paid to the underlying mutual fund. These fees compensate the mutual fund for any negative impact on fund performance resulting from short-term trading. Some underlying mutual funds may refer to short-term trading fees as "redemption fees." See Appendix A: Sub-Account Information for a complete list of available underlying mutual funds, including those that assess short-term trading fees.

U.S. Mail Restrictions

Nationwide monitors transfer activity in order to identify those who may be engaged in harmful trading practices. Transaction reports are produced and examined. Generally, a policy may appear on these reports if the policy owner (or a third party acting on their behalf) engages in a certain number of "transfer events" in a given period. A "transfer event" is any transfer, or combination of transfers, occurring in a given Valuation Period. For example, if a policy owner executes multiple transfers involving 10 Sub-Accounts in one Valuation Period, this counts as one transfer event. A single transfer occurring in a given Valuation Period that involves only two Sub-Accounts (or one Sub-Account if the transfer is made to or from a fixed investment option) will also count as one transfer event.

As a result of this monitoring process, Nationwide may restrict the form in which transfer requests will be accepted. In general, Nationwide will adhere to the following guidelines:

Trading Behavior	Nationwide's Response
Six or more transfer events in one calendar quarter	Nationwide will mail a letter to the policy owner notifying them that:(1) they have been identified as engaging in harmful trading practices; and(2) if their transfer events exceed 11 in two consecutive calendar quarters or 20 in one calendar year, the policy owner will be limited to submitting transfer requests via U.S. mail.
More than 11 transfer events in two consecutive calendar quarters OR More than 20 transfer events in one calendar year	Nationwide will automatically limit the policy owner to submitting transfer requests via U.S. mail.

For purposes of Nationwide's transfer policy, U.S. mail includes standard U.S. mail, expedited U.S. mail, and expedited delivery via private carrier.

Each January 1^st, Nationwide will start the monitoring anew, so that each policy starts with zero transfer events each January 1. See, however, the Other Restrictions provision below.

Managers of Multiple Policies

Some investment advisors/representatives manage the assets of multiple Nationwide policies pursuant to trading authority granted or conveyed by multiple policy owners. These multi-policy advisors will be required by Nationwide to submit all transfer requests via U.S. mail.

Other Restrictions

Nationwide reserves the right to refuse or limit transfer requests, or take any other action it deems necessary, in order to protect policy owners and beneficiaries from the negative investment results that may result from short-term trading or other harmful investment practices employed by some policy owners (or third parties acting on their behalf). In particular, trading strategies designed to avoid or take advantage of Nationwide's monitoring procedures (and other measures aimed at curbing harmful trading practices) that are nevertheless determined by Nationwide to constitute harmful trading practices, may be restricted.

Any restrictions that Nationwide implements will be applied consistently and uniformly. The policy owner will be notified if a transfer request is rejected. If a short-term trading fee is assessed, the policy owner will receive a confirmation notice.

16

Underlying Mutual Fund Restrictions and Prohibitions

Pursuant to regulations adopted by the SEC, Nationwide is required to enter into written agreements with the underlying mutual funds which allow the underlying mutual funds to:

(1)	request the taxpayer identification number, international taxpayer identification number, or other government issued identifier of any policy owner;
(2)	request the amounts and dates of any purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange request ("transaction information"); and
(3)	instruct Nationwide to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges by policy owners that violate policies established by the underlying mutual fund (whose policies may be more restrictive than Nationwide’s policies).

Nationwide is required to provide such transaction information to the underlying mutual funds upon their request. In addition, Nationwide is required to restrict or prohibit further purchases or requests to exchange into an underlying mutual fund upon instruction from the underlying mutual fund. Nationwide and any affected policy owner may not have advance notice of such instructions from an underlying mutual fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or requests to exchange into an underlying mutual fund. If an underlying mutual fund refuses to accept a purchase or request to exchange into the underlying mutual fund, Nationwide will keep any affected policy owner in their current underlying mutual fund allocation.

Fixed Account Transfers

Prior to the policy's Maturity Date, the policy owner may make transfers involving the Fixed Account. These transfers will be in dollars. Nationwide may impose limits on the dollar amount, percentage of Cash Value, number, and/or frequency of transfers involving the Fixed Account. Contact the Service Center for information regarding restrictions in effect for the Fixed Account at the time of a Premium payment or transfer request, see Contacting the Service Center.

Transfers to and/or from the Fixed Account may be restricted as follows:

• Transfers to and/or from may be prohibited during the first policy year; and

• Only one transfer to may be permitted every 12 months

Transfers to the Fixed Account may be restricted as follows:

• Transfers to that exceed 25% of the value allocated to the Sub-Accounts (as of the end of the prior Valuation Period) may not be permitted; and

• Transfers to that would result in the Fixed Account value exceeding 30% of the total Cash Value may not be permitted.

Transfers from the Fixed Account may be restricted as follows:

• Transfers from, of more than 25% of the Fixed Account value in any policy year (as of the end of the previous policy year), may not be permitted.

Amounts transferred to the Fixed Account may be credited interest at different rates, see Fixed Account. Transfers from the Fixed Account will be on a last-in, first-out basis (LIFO). Any restrictions that Nationwide implements will be applied consistently and uniformly.

Contacting the Service Center

All inquiries, paperwork, information requests, service requests, and transaction requests should be made to the Service Center:

• by telephone at 1-800-848-6331 (TDD 1-800-238-3035)

• by mail to Nationwide Life Insurance Company, P.O. Box 182835, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2835

• by fax at 1-888-634-4472

• by Internet at www.nationwide.com.

Nationwide reserves the right to restrict or remove the ability to submit service requests via Internet, phone, or fax upon written notice.

17

Not all methods of communication are available for all types of requests. To determine which methods are permitted for a particular request, refer to the specific transaction provision in this prospectus, or call the Service Center. Requests submitted by means other than described in this prospectus could be returned or delayed.

Service and transaction requests will generally be processed in the Valuation Period they are received at the Service Center as long as the request is in good order, see Valuation of Accumulation Units. Good order generally means that all necessary information to process the request is complete and in a form acceptable to Nationwide. If a request is not in good order, Nationwide will take reasonable actions to obtain the information necessary to process the request. Requests that are not in good order may be delayed or returned. Nationwide reserves the right to process any transaction request sent to a location other than the Service Center in the Valuation Period it is received at the Service Center. On any day the post office is closed, Nationwide is unable to retrieve service and transaction requests that are submitted by mail. This will result in a delay of the delivery of those requests to the Service Center.

Nationwide may be required to provide information about a specific policy to government regulators. If mandated under applicable law, Nationwide may be required to reject a Premium payment and to refuse to process transaction requests for transfers, surrenders, loans, and/or Death Benefit Proceeds until instructed otherwise by the appropriate regulator.

Nationwide will use reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions are genuine and Nationwide will not be liable for following instructions that it reasonably determined to be genuine. Nationwide may record telephone requests. Telephone and computer systems may not always be available. Any telephone system or computer can experience outages or slowdowns for a variety of reasons. The outages or slowdowns could prevent or delay processing. Although Nationwide has taken precautions to support heavy use, it is still possible to incur an outage or delay. To avoid technical difficulties, submit transaction requests by mail.

The Policy

General Information

The policy is a legal contract. It will comprise and be evidenced by: a written contract; any Riders; any endorsements; the Policy Data Pages; and the application, including any supplemental application. The benefits described in the policy and this prospectus, including any optional Riders or modifications in coverage, may be subject to Nationwide’s underwriting and approval. In addition to the terms and conditions of the policy, policy owner rights are governed by this prospectus and protected by federal securities laws and regulations. Nationwide will consider the statements made in the application as representations, and will rely on them as being true and complete. However, Nationwide will not void the policy or deny a claim unless a statement is a material misrepresentation. If a policy owner makes an error or misstatement on the application, Nationwide will adjust the Death Benefit, Rider benefits, and Cash Value accordingly.

To determine the adjusted Death Benefit, the Net Amount At Risk at the time of the Insured's death is multiplied by the ratio of the monthly cost of insurance applied at the true age in the policy month of death and the monthly cost of insurance that should have been applied at the true age in the policy month of death. This adjusted amount will be added to reflect the true age to the Cash Value of the policy at the Insured's death. The Cash Value will be adjusted to reflect the cost of insurance charges on the correct age from the Policy Date.

Due to state law variations, the terms, benefits, programs and Riders described in this prospectus may vary or may not be available depending on the state in which the policy is issued. Possible state law variations include, but are not limited to, Rider terms and charges, availability of certain investment options, free look rights, policy exchange rights, policy Lapse and/or reinstatement requirements, and surrender charge, suicide, and incontestability periods. This prospectus describes all the material features of the policy. State variations are subject to change without notice at any time. To review a copy of the policy and any Riders or endorsements for the state in which the policy will be issued, contact the Service Center, see Contacting the Service Center.

Any modification or waiver of Nationwide’s rights or requirements under the policy must be in writing and signed by Nationwide’s president or corporate secretary. No agent may bind Nationwide by making any promise not contained in the policy.

Nationwide may modify the policy, its operations, or the separate account’s operations to meet the requirements of any law or regulation issued by a government agency to which the policy, Nationwide, or the separate account is subject. Nationwide may modify the policy to assure that it continues to qualify as a life insurance policy under federal tax laws. Nationwide will notify policy owners of all modifications and will make appropriate endorsements to the policy.

18

The policy is nonparticipating, meaning that Nationwide will not be contributing any operating profits or surplus earnings toward the policy Proceeds.

To the extent permitted by law, policy benefits are not subject to any legal process on the part of a third-party for the payment of any claim, and no right or benefit will be subject to the claims of creditors (except as may be provided by assignment).

It is important to remember that the portion of any amounts allocated to Nationwide’s general account and any guaranteed benefits Nationwide may provide under the policy exceeding the value of amounts held in the separate account are subject to Nationwide’s claims paying ability.

Any money Nationwide pays, or that is paid to Nationwide, must be in the currency of the United States of America.

In order to comply with the USA PATRIOT Act and rules promulgated thereunder, Nationwide has implemented procedures designed to prevent policies described in this prospectus from being used to facilitate money laundering or the financing of terrorist activities.

Nationwide’s businesses are highly dependent upon its computer systems and those of its business partners. This makes Nationwide potentially susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a cyber-attack. These risks include direct risks, such as theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained by Nationwide, and indirect risks, such as denial of service attacks on service provider websites and other operational disruptions that impede Nationwide’s ability to electronically interact with service providers. Cyber-attacks affecting Nationwide, the underlying mutual funds, intermediaries, and other service providers may adversely affect Nationwide and policy values. In connection with any such cyber-attacks, Nationwide and/or its service providers and intermediaries may be subject to regulatory fines and financial losses and/or reputational damage. Cyber security risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying mutual funds invest, which may cause the underlying mutual funds to lose value. Although Nationwide undertakes substantial efforts to protect its computer systems from cyber-attacks, including internal processes and technological defenses that are preventative or detective, and other controls designed to provide multiple layers of security assurance, there can be no guarantee that Nationwide, its service providers, or the underlying mutual funds will avoid losses affecting the policy due to cyber-attacks or information security breaches in the future.

In the event that policy values are adversely affected as a result of the failure of Nationwide’s cyber-security controls, Nationwide will take reasonable steps to restore policy values to the levels that they would have been had the cyber-attack not occurred. Nationwide will not, however, be responsible for any adverse impact to policy values that result from the policy owner or its designee’s negligent acts or failure to use reasonably appropriate safeguards to protect against cyber-attacks.

Policy Owner and Beneficiaries

Policy Owner

The policy belongs to the owner named in the application or as a result of a valid assignment. The policy owner may name a contingent owner who will become the policy owner if the policy owner dies before Proceeds become payable. Otherwise, ownership will pass to the policy owner's estate, if the policy owner is not the Insured.

Policy Owner Rights

The policy owner may exercise all policy rights in accordance with policy terms while the policy is In Force, subject to Nationwide’s approval. These rights include, but are not limited to, the following:

• changing the policy owner, contingent owner, and beneficiary;

• assigning, exchanging, and/or converting the policy;

• requesting transfers, policy loans, and partial surrenders or a complete surrender; and

• changing insurance coverage such as death benefit option changes, adding or removing Riders, and/or increasing or decreasing the Total Specified Amount.

These rights are explained in greater detail throughout this prospectus.

Subject to Nationwide’s approval, the policy owner may name a different policy owner or contingent owner while the policy is In Force by submitting a written request to the Service Center. Any such change request will become effective as of the date signed, however, it will not affect any payment made or action taken before the change is received and recorded by Nationwide. There may be adverse tax consequences to changing parties of the policy.

19

Beneficiaries

The principal right of a beneficiary is to receive the Death Benefit Proceeds if the Insured dies while the policy is In Force. While the policy is In Force, a policy owner may name more than one beneficiary, designate primary and contingent beneficiaries, change or add beneficiaries, and/or direct Nationwide to distribute the Proceeds other than as described below.

If a primary beneficiary dies before the Insured, Nationwide will pay the Death Benefit Proceeds to the surviving primary beneficiaries. Unless specified otherwise by the policy owner, Nationwide will pay multiple primary beneficiaries in equal shares. A contingent beneficiary will become the primary beneficiary if all primary beneficiaries die before the Insured and before any Proceeds become payable. A policy owner may name more than one contingent beneficiary. Unless specified otherwise by the policy owner, Nationwide will also pay multiple contingent beneficiaries in equal shares. If no named beneficiary survives the Insured, the Proceeds will be paid to the policy owner or the policy owner's estate.

Requests to change or add beneficiaries must be submitted in writing to the Service Center. Nationwide may require that the policy owner send the policy for endorsement before the change is recorded. Any such change request will become effective as of the date signed, however, it will not affect any payment made or action taken before the change is received and recorded by Nationwide.

To Purchase

The policy is available for Insureds between the ages of 0 and 80. To purchase the policy, prospective purchasers must submit a completed application and the required initial Premium payment.

Nationwide must receive evidence of insurability that satisfies its underwriting standards (this may require a medical examination) before it will issue a policy. Nationwide can provide prospective purchasers with the details of its underwriting standards upon request. Nationwide reserves the right to reject any application for any reason permitted by law. Additionally, Nationwide reserves the right to modify its underwriting standards on a prospective basis for newly issued policies at any time.

The minimum initial Base Policy Specified Amount in most states is $50,000. Nationwide reserves the right to modify the minimum Base Policy Specified Amount on a prospective basis for newly issued policies at any time.

Coverage

Nationwide will issue the policy only if the underwriting process has been completed, the application is approved, and the proposed Insured is alive and in the same condition of health as described in the application. However, full insurance coverage will take effect only after the minimum initial Premium is paid. Monthly charges are deducted from the policy’s Cash Value beginning on the Policy Date.

Coverage Effective Date

Insurance coverage will begin and be In Force on the Policy Date shown on the Policy Data Page. For a change in the Base Policy Specified Amount and/or Rider Specified Amount, the effective date will be on the next monthly anniversary from the Policy Date after Nationwide approves the request. It will end upon the Insured's death, once the Proceeds are paid or when the policy matures. Coverage will also end if the policy Lapses.

Temporary Insurance Coverage

Temporary Insurance Coverage

Temporary insurance coverage (of an amount equal to the Total Specified Amount, up to $1,000,000) may be available for no charge before full insurance coverage takes effect. Prospective purchasers must submit a temporary insurance agreement and make an initial Premium payment. The amount of this initial Premium payment will depend on the initial Total Specified Amount, choice of death benefit option, and any Riders elected. Temporary insurance coverage will remain In Force for no more than 60 days from the date of the temporary insurance agreement. If full coverage is denied, the temporary insurance coverage will terminate five days from the date Nationwide mails a termination notice (accompanied by a refund equal to the Premium payment made). If full coverage is approved, the temporary insurance coverage will terminate on the date that full insurance coverage takes effect. Allocation of the initial Net Premium will be determined by the right to examine law of the state in which the policy is issued.

20

Right To Cancel (Examination Right)

Under state law a policy owner may, for a limited time, cancel the policy and receive a refund (commonly referred to as the "free look" period). The length of the free look period depends on state law and may vary depending on whether the policy was purchased to replace another policy. The minimum "free look" period is 10 days.

In order to cancel the policy during the free look period, a policy owner must submit a written cancellation request and return the policy either to the sales representative or to the Service Center. Nationwide will honor free look cancellation requests received by the last day of the free look period (if returned by US mail, the request must be post-marked by the last day of the free look period).

Free look cancellation requests received after the close of business on the date the free look period expires will not be canceled free of charge. If the policy is canceled, Nationwide will treat the policy as if it was never issued.

Within seven days of a free look cancellation request, Nationwide will refund the amount prescribed by state law. The amount Nationwide refunds will be Cash Value or, in certain states, the greater of the Premium paid or the policy's Cash Value plus any charges deducted.

Allocation of Net Premium During Free Look Period

Where state law requires the return of initial Premium for free look cancellations, Nationwide will allocate initial Net Premium to the Fixed Account as instructed. Nationwide will allocate initial Net Premium allocated to the Sub-Accounts to the available money market Sub-Account until the free look period expires. At the expiration of the free look period, Nationwide will transfer the amount held in the money market Sub-Account to the requested Sub-Accounts based on the allocation instructions in effect at the time of the transfer.

Where state law requires the return of Cash Value, Nationwide will allocate all of the initial Net Premium to the designated Sub-Accounts and Fixed Account based upon the allocation instructions in effect at the time, on the next Valuation Period.

To Change Coverage

After the first policy year, the policy owner may request to change the Total Specified Amount. To change the Total Specified Amount, the policy owner must submit a written request to the Service Center. Changes to the Total Specified Amount will become effective on the next monthly policy anniversary after Nationwide approves the request unless the policy owner requests and Nationwide approves a different date. However, no change will take effect unless the Cash Surrender Value would be sufficient to keep the policy In Force for at least three months. Nationwide may limit the number of Total Specified Amount changes to one increase and one decrease each policy year. Changes to the Total Specified Amount will typically alter the Death Benefit.

Increases

To increase the Total Specified Amount, the policy owner must provide satisfactory evidence of insurability. The Insured must be Attained Age 80 or younger at the time of the request. Any request to increase the Total Specified Amount must be at least $10,000. An increase in the Total Specified Amount may cause an increase in the Net Amount At Risk. Because the Cost of Insurance Charge is based on the Net Amount At Risk, and because there will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the increase, this will usually cause the policy's Cost of Insurance Charge to increase. An additional Surrender Charge schedule will also apply whenever the Base Policy Specified Amount is increased. An increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount and/or Rider Specified Amount may cause an increase to the amount of subsequent Premium payments needed to keep the policy from Lapsing, see Lapse.

Decreases

The policy owner may request to decrease the Total Specified Amount. Nationwide applies Total Specified Amount decreases to the most recent Base Policy Specified Amount and/or Rider Specified Amount increase and continues applying the decrease backwards while still maintaining the original Total Specified Amount. Nationwide will deny any request to reduce the Base Policy Specified Amount below the minimum Base Policy Specified Amount shown on the Policy Data Page. Nationwide will also deny any request that would disqualify the policy as a contract for life insurance.

21

Premium Payments

The policy does not require a scheduled payment of Premium to keep it In Force. The policy will remain in effect as long as the conditions that cause the policy to Lapse do not exist, see Unfavorable Investment Experience. Upon request, we will furnish Premium receipts.

Subsequent Premium payments will be allocated according to the allocation instructions in effect at the time the Premium is received.

Initial Premium

The amount of initial Premium will depend on the initial Total Specified Amount of insurance, the death benefit option, and any Riders elected. Generally, the higher the required initial Total Specified Amount, the higher the initial Premium will be. Similarly, because Death Benefit Option 2 provides for a potentially greater Death Benefit than Death Benefit Option 1, Death Benefit Option 2 may require a higher amount of initial Premium. Also, the age, health, and activities of the Insured will affect Nationwide’s determination of the risk of issuing the policy. In general, the greater this risk, the higher the initial Premium required.

Whether Nationwide will issue full insurance coverage depends on the Insured meeting all underwriting requirements, payment of the initial Premium, and delivery of the policy while the Insured is alive. Nationwide will not delay delivery of the policy to increase the likelihood that the Insured is not still living. Depending on the outcome of the underwriting process, more or less Premium may be necessary to issue the policy. If Nationwide does not issue the policy, the Premium payment will be returned within two business days.

The policy owner may pay the initial Premium to the Service Center or to an authorized representative. The initial Premium payment must be at least $50, equal to the minimum monthly Premium. The initial Premium payment will not be applied to the policy until the underwriting process is complete. Allocation of initial Net Premium will be determined by the right to examine law of the state or territory where the policy is issued, see Right to Cancel (Examination Right).

Subsequent Premiums

The policy owner may make additional Premium payments at any time while the policy is In Force, subject to the following:

• During the first three policy years, the total Premium payments, less any outstanding Indebtedness, less any partial surrender fee, must be greater than or equal to the minimum Premium requirement in order to guarantee that the policy will remain In Force.

• After the first three policy years, each Premium payment must be at least equal to the minimum monthly Premium.

• Nationwide may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before accepting any additional Premium payment that results in an increase in the policy's Net Amount At Risk.

• Nationwide will refund Premium payments that exceed the applicable premium limit established by the IRS to qualify the policy as a contract for life insurance.

• Nationwide may require that outstanding Indebtedness be repaid prior to accepting any additional Premium payments, see Lapse.

• Nationwide will send scheduled Premium payment reminder notices to you according to the Premium payment method shown on the Policy Data Page. Subsequent Premium payments must be sent to the Service Center, see Contacting the Service Center.

Cash Value

Nationwide will determine the Cash Value at least monthly. Cash Value will fluctuate daily and there is no guaranteed Cash Value. At the end of any given Valuation Period, the Cash Value is equal to the sum of:

• the value of the Accumulation Units allocated to the Sub-Accounts, see Valuation of Accumulation Units;

• amounts allocated to the Fixed Account, including credited interest; and

• amounts allocated to the policy loan account (only if a loan was taken), including credited interest, see Policy Loans.

22

Surrenders and policy charges and deductions will reduce the Cash Value of the policy. If Cash Value is a factor in calculating a benefit associated with the policy, such as the Death Benefit or a benefit associated with an elected Rider, the value of that benefit will also fluctuate, including being reduced due to surrenders and policy charge deductions. If the policy is surrendered or Lapses, the Cash Value will be reduced by the amount of any Indebtedness.

On any date during the policy year, the Cash Value equals the Cash Value on the preceding Valuation Period, plus any Net Premium applied since the previous Valuation Period, minus any policy charges, plus or minus any investment results, and minus any partial surrenders.

To Exchange

The policy owner has an exchange right under the policy. At any time within the first 24 months of coverage from the Policy Date, the policy owner may surrender this policy and use the Cash Surrender Value to purchase a new policy on the Insured's life without evidence of insurability. After the first 24 months of coverage, a policy owner may still surrender the policy and use the Cash Surrender Value to purchase a new policy on the Insured's life. However, issuance of the new policy will depend on the Insured providing satisfactory evidence of insurability.

The new policy may be one of Nationwide’s available fixed benefit life insurance policies. The death benefit on the new policy may not be greater than the Death Benefit on this policy immediately prior to the exchange date. The new policy will have the same Total Specified Amount, Policy Date, and issue age. Nationwide will base Premium payments on the rates in effect for the same sex, Attained Age, and underwriting class of the Insured on the exchange date, unless otherwise required by state law. A policy owner may transfer Indebtedness to the new policy.

Exchange requests must be made on Nationwide forms and submitted to the Service Center. The policy must be In Force and not in a Grace Period. The policy owner must pay a Surrender Charge if applicable and surrender the policy to Nationwide. The policy owner must pay any money due on the exchange (any amount needed to ensure that the Cash Surrender Value of the new policy is the same as the Cash Surrender Value of this policy). The policy owner may request that any excess of the Cash Surrender Value of this policy over the Cash Surrender Value of the new policy be paid to the policy owner. The exchange may have adverse tax consequences. The new policy will take effect on the exchange date only if the Insured is alive. This policy will terminate when the new policy takes effect.

To Terminate (Surrender)

There are several ways that the policy can terminate. The policy will automatically terminate when the Insured dies, the policy reaches the Maturity Date and is not extended (see Proceeds Upon Maturity), or the Grace Period ends. The policy will also terminate if it is fully surrendered.

Terminating the policy may result in adverse tax consequences.

Generally, if the policy has a Cash Surrender Value in excess of the Premiums paid, upon surrender the excess will be included in the policy owner’s income for federal tax purposes, see Taxes. The Cash Surrender Value will be reduced by outstanding Indebtedness, see Policy Loans.

To Assign

The policy owner may assign any or all rights under the policy while it is In Force, subject to Nationwide’s approval. The beneficiary's interest will be subject to the person or entity to which the policy owner assigned rights. Assignments must be in writing on a form satisfactory to Nationwide. Assignments will become effective on the date signed, unless otherwise specified by the policy owner, and are subject to any payments or actions taken by Nationwide before it is received and recorded at the Service Center. Nationwide is not responsible for the sufficiency or validity of any assignment. Assignments will be subject to any Indebtedness, policy liens, garnishments, court orders, and any previous assignments.

Reminders, Reports and Illustrations

Nationwide will send scheduled Premium payment reminders and transaction confirmations to policy owners upon request. Nationwide will also send quarterly and annual statements that show:

• the Total Specified Amount;

• Premiums paid;

• all charges since the last report;

23

• the current Cash Value;

• the Cash Surrender Value; and

• Indebtedness.

Confirmations of individual financial transactions, such as transfers, partial Surrenders, and loans are generated and mailed automatically. Copies may be obtained by contacting the Service Center. Alternatively, policy owners may receive information faster and reduce the amount of mail received by signing up for the eDelivery program. Go to www.nationwide.com/login to change the document delivery preferences.

Nationwide will send these reminders and reports to the address provided on the application unless directed otherwise. At any time after the first policy year, policy owners may ask for an illustration of future benefits and values under the policy, see Illustration Charge.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING DELIVERY
OF SECURITY HOLDER DOCUMENTS

When multiple copies of the same disclosure document(s), such as prospectuses, supplements, proxy statements and semi-annual and annual reports are required to be mailed to multiple policy owners in the same household, Nationwide will mail only one copy of each document, unless notified otherwise by the policy owner(s). Household delivery will continue for the life of the policies. A policy owner can revoke their consent to household delivery and reinstitute individual delivery by contacting the Service Center. Individual delivery will resume within 30 days after receiving such notification.

Standard Policy Charges

Deductions for charges are taken from Premium payments and/or the Cash Value, as applicable, to compensate Nationwide for the services and benefits provided, the costs and expenses incurred, and the risks assumed. Certain expenses may be recovered utilizing more than one charge. Nationwide may generate a profit from any of the charges assessed under the policy.

Monthly charges are deducted from Cash Value beginning on the Policy Date. Charges are taken proportionally from the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account, except for the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge which is only deducted proportionally from the Sub-Accounts. Charges taken against allocations to the Sub-Accounts are assessed by redeeming Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units redeemed is determined by dividing the dollar amount of the charge by the Accumulation Unit value for the Sub-Account. Nationwide does not deduct policy charges or Rider charges from the Cash Value attributable to the policy loan account. For a complete description of how interest is credited and charged, see Policy Loans.

Policy and Rider charges reflect costs and risks associated with issuing the policy and Rider(s). Certain charges will vary based upon the individual characteristics of the Insured. The Insured is assigned to an underwriting class based upon his/her age, sex (if not unisex classified), smoker status, type of evidence of insurability, and insurability status. The policy owner can request an illustration of specific costs and/or see the Policy’s Data Pages for information about specific charges of their policy.

Nationwide may change policy and/or Rider charges and rates under the policy at any time, subject to the guaranteed maximum rates stated in the Policy Data Pages. Changes in policy and/or Rider charges and rates are based on changes in future expectations for factors including, but not limited to, Nationwide’s investment earnings, mortality experience, persistency experience, expenses, including reinsurance expenses, and taxes. Changes to policy and/or Rider charges and rates will be on a uniform basis for Insured's of the same Issue Age, sex, rate class, rate type, any Substandard Rating, Base Policy Specified Amount, and Total Specified Amount (if applicable) whose policies have been In Force for the same length of time. If a change in the charges or rates causes an increase to the policy and/or Rider charges, the policy's Cash Value could decrease. If a change in the charges or rates causes a decrease to the policy and/or Rider charges, the policy's Cash Value could increase. Any changes will be determined in accordance with state law. Policy and Rider charges will never exceed the maximum charges shown in the fee tables, see In Summary: Fee Tables.

24

Premium Load

Premium Load is comprised of the Sales Load and Premium Taxes. It will vary by policy based on the amount of Premium paid. It is deducted from each Premium payment to partially reimburse Nationwide for sales expenses and Premium taxes, and other expenses, including acquisition costs. The Premium Load also provides revenue to compensate Nationwide for assuming risks associated with the policy, and revenue that may be a profit.

Sales Load

The sales load portion of the Premium Load Charge is guaranteed not to exceed $25 per $1,000 of Premium and covers sales expenses. Currently, this charge is equal to $25 per $1,000 of Premium up to the break point Premium, and $5 per $1,000 of Premium in excess of the break point Premium. The break point Premium is shown in the Policy Data Page. Sales load is assessed each time a Premium payment is submitted.

Premium Taxes

Premium Taxes (as part of the Premium Load) are deducted from each Premium payment to reimburse Nationwide for state and local premium taxes (at the estimated rate of 2.25%) and for federal premium taxes (at the estimated rate of 1.25%). The current (and guaranteed maximum) Premium Tax is $35 per $1,000 of Premium. This amount is not the actual amount of the tax liability Nationwide incurs. It is an estimated amount. If the actual tax liability is more or less, Nationwide will not adjust the charge retroactively.

Short-Term Trading Fees

Some mutual funds offered under the policy may assess (or reserve the right to assess) a short-term trading fee (sometimes called "redemption fee" by the mutual fund) in connection with transfers from a Sub-Account that occur within 60 days after the date of allocation to the Sub-Account.

Short-Term Trading Fees are intended to compensate the mutual fund (and policy owners with interests allocated in the Sub-Account) for the negative impact on mutual fund performance that may result from frequent, short-term trading strategies. Short-Term Trading Fees are not intended to affect the large majority of policy owners not engaged in such strategies.

Any Short-Term Trading Fee assessed by any mutual fund available in conjunction with the policy will equal 1% of the amount determined to be engaged in short-term trading. Short-Term Trading Fees will only apply to those Sub-Accounts corresponding to mutual funds that charge such fees (see the mutual fund's prospectus). Any Short-Term Trading Fees paid are retained by the mutual fund and are part of the mutual fund's assets. Policy owners are responsible for monitoring the length of time allocations are held in any particular Sub-Account. Nationwide will not provide advance notice of the assessment of any applicable Short-Term Trading Fee.

For a complete list of the Sub-Accounts that assess (or reserve the right to assess) a Short-Term Trading Fee, see Appendix A: Sub-Account Information.

If a Short-Term Trading Fee is assessed, the mutual fund will charge the separate account 1% of the amount determined to be engaged in short-term trading. The separate account will then pass the Short-Term Trading Fee on to the specific policy owner that engaged in short-term trading by deducting an amount equal to the Short-Term Trading Fee from that policy owner's Sub-Account value. All such fees will be remitted to the mutual fund; none of the fee proceeds will be retained by Nationwide or the separate account.

When multiple allocations are made to a Sub-Account that is subject to Short-Term Trading Fees, transfers out of that Sub-Account will be considered to be made on a first in/first out (FIFO) basis for purposes of determining Short-Term Trading Fees. In other words, Accumulation Units held the longest time will be treated as being transferred first, and Accumulation Units held for the shortest time will be treated as being transferred last.

25

Some transactions are not subject to Short-Term Trading Fees, including:

• scheduled and systematic transfers, such as those associated with dollar cost averaging programs and asset rebalancing programs (if available);

• policy loans;

• full or partial surrenders; or

• payment of the Proceeds.

New share classes of certain currently available mutual funds may be added as investment options under the policy. These new share classes may require the assessment of Short-Term Trading Fees. When these new share classes are added, new Premiums and transfers to the Sub-Accounts in question may be limited to the new share class.

Illustration Charge

Illustration Charges are not deducted from Premium payments or Cash Value; rather they are paid at the time of an illustration request. Nationwide currently waives the Illustration Charge. The charge is intended to compensate Nationwide for the administrative costs of generating illustrations. Nationwide may elect in the future to assess an Illustration Charge. It will not exceed $25 per illustration requested.

Partial Surrender Fee

The policy owner may request a partial surrender after the first year from the Policy Date while the policy is In Force. The charge for a partial surrender compensates Nationwide for the administrative costs in calculating and generating the surrender amount. The maximum fee is the lesser of $25 or 2% of the dollar amount of the partial surrender. However, currently, there is no charge for a partial surrender. The Cash Value available for a partial surrender is subject to any Indebtedness.

Surrender Charge

A surrender charge will apply if the policy is surrendered during the first nine years from the Policy Date, Lapsed, or a decrease in the Base Policy Specified Amount is requested. Surrender charges compensate Nationwide for policy underwriting and sales expenses. The charge will be deducted the policy’s Cash Value. The surrender charge is reduced by any partial surrender charge actually paid on previous decreases in the Base Policy Specified Amount.

The following tables illustrate the maximum initial surrender charge per $1,000 of initial Base Policy Specified Amount for policies which are issued on a standard basis, see Appendix C: Illustrations of Surrender Charges.

Initial Base Policy Specified Amount $50,000-$99,999

Issue Age	Male Non-Tobacco	Female Non-Tobacco	Male Standard	Female Standard
25	$ 7.776	$ 7.521	$ 8.369	$ 7.818
35	$ 8.817	$ 8.398	$ 9.811	$ 8.891
45	$12.191	$11.396	$13.887	$12.169
55	$15.636	$14.011	$18.415	$15.116
65	$22.295	$19.086	$26.577	$20.641

Initial Base Policy Specified Amount $100,000 or More

Issue Age	Male Non-Tobacco	Female Non-Tobacco	Male Standard	Female Standard
25	$ 5.776	$ 5.521	$ 6.369	$ 5.818
35	$ 6.817	$ 6.398	$ 7.811	$ 6.891
45	$ 9.691	$ 8.896	$11.387	$ 9.669
55	$13.136	$11.511	$15.915	$12.616
65	$21.295	$18.086	$25.577	$19.641

Special guaranteed maximum surrender charges apply in Pennsylvania, see Appendix C: Illustrations of Surrender Charges. Ask for an illustration or see the Policy Data Page for more information.

26

The surrender charge amount decreases over time and Nationwide will deduct the surrender charge based on the following schedule:

Policy year calculated from the Policy Date or effective date of Base Policy Specified Amount increase:	Surrender Charge as a Percentage of Initial Surrender Charge
0	100%
1	100%
2	90%
3	80%
4	70%
5	60%
6	50%
7	40%
8	30%
9 and After	0%

There are two components to the surrender charge: the underwriting component and the sales component. The underwriting component is based upon the Insured’s age when the policy is issued and covers costs associated with underwriting. The sales expense component, which is based on and varies by the Insured’s sex, age when the policy is issued, and underwriting class, covers sales expenses including processing applications, conducting medical exams, determining insurability (and the Insured’s underwriting class), and establishing policy records. Additional information can be found in the Statement of Additional Information which can be requested, free of charge, by contacting the Service Center.

Nationwide will waive the surrender charge if the policy is surrendered in exchange for a plan of permanent fixed life insurance offered by Nationwide, subject to the following:

• the exchange and waiver may be subject to new, satisfactory evidence of insurability and Nationwide’s underwriting approval; and

• the Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider has not been invoked.

Nationwide may impose a new surrender charge on the policy received in the exchange.

Cost of Insurance Charge

A Cost of Insurance Charge is deducted proportionally from Sub-Account and Fixed Account allocations on the Policy Date and on each monthly anniversary of the Policy Date. The charge is intended to cover Nationwide’s expenses associated with providing expected mortality benefits and assuming certain risks associated with the policy, and to cover other expenses, including acquisition costs, and state and federal taxes. Nationwide may also profit from this charge.

The Cost of Insurance Charge is the product of the Net Amount At Risk and the cost of insurance rate. The cost of insurance rate will vary by the Insured's issue age, sex, underwriting classification, any Substandard Ratings, how long the policy has been In Force, and the Base Policy Specified Amount and Total Specified Amount (if applicable). The cost of insurance rates are based on Nationwide’s expectations as to future mortality and expense experience, investment earnings, persistency, and taxes. Current and guaranteed monthly cost of insurance rates generally increase year over year to reflect expectations that mortality and underwriting risks generally increase as the Insured's Attained Age and the length of time the Policy has been In Force increase.

There will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the initial Base Policy Specified Amount and any Base Policy Specified Amount increase. The cost of insurance rate(s) will never be greater than what is shown on the Policy Data Pages.

Flat Extras and Substandard Ratings

Nationwide may inquire about the occupation and activities of the Insured through the underwriting process. If the activities or occupation of the Insured cause an increased health or accident risk, it may result in the Insured receiving a Substandard Rating. If this is the case, Nationwide may add an additional component to the Cost of Insurance Charge called a "Flat Extra Charge." The Flat Extra Charge accounts for the increased risk of providing life insurance when one or more of these factors apply to the Insured. The Flat Extra Charge is a component of the total Cost of Insurance Charge, so if applied it will be deducted from Cash Value on the Policy Date and the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date. The

27

monthly Flat Extra Charge is between $0.00 and $2.08 per $1,000 of the Net Amount At Risk. If a Flat Extra Charge is applied, it is shown in the Policy Data Pages. In no event will the Flat Extra Charge result in the Cost of Insurance Charge exceeding the maximum charge shown in In Summary: Fee Tables.

Nationwide will uniformly apply a change in any cost of insurance rate for Insureds of the same age, sex, underwriting class, Substandard Ratings, and Base Policy Specified Amount and Total Specified Amount (if applicable), if the policies have been In Force for the same length of time. If a change in the cost of insurance rates causes an increase to a policy’s Cost of Insurance Charge, the policy's Cash Value could decrease. If a change in the cost of insurance rates causes a decrease to the policy’s Cost of Insurance Charge, the policy's Cash Value could increase.

There will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the initial Base Policy Specified Amount and any Base Policy Specified Amount increase. An increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount may cause an increase in the Net Amount At Risk. Because the Cost of Insurance Charge is based on the Net Amount At Risk, and because there will be a separate cost of insurance rate for the increase, this will usually cause the policy's Cost of Insurance Charge to increase. An increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount may require larger or additional Premium payments in order to avoid Lapsing the Policy.

The rate class of an Insured may affect the cost of insurance rate. Nationwide currently places Insureds into both standard rate classes and substandard rate classes that involve a higher mortality risk. In an otherwise identical policy, an Insured in the standard rate class will have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in a rate class with higher mortality risks. Nationwide may also issue certain policies on a "non medical" basis to certain categories of individuals. Due to the underwriting criteria established for policies issued on a non medical basis, actual rates will be higher than the current cost of insurance rates being charged that are medically underwritten.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

The charge will vary by policy based on the amount of Cash Value allocated to the Sub-Accounts and the length of time the policy has been In Force. The charge compensates Nationwide for assuming the risk associated with mortality and expense risk costs. The mortality risk is that the Insured will not live as long as expected. The expense risk is that the costs of issuing and administering the policy will be more than expected. This charge is in addition to any charges assessed by the mutual funds underlying the Sub-Accounts.

Though the maximum guaranteed mortality and expense risk charge is higher, currently, this charge is deducted on a daily basis according to the following schedule. During the first through ninth year from the Policy Date, the annualized charge is $8.00 per $1,000 of Cash Value. After the ninth year, this annualized charge is $8.00 per $1,000 on the first $25,000 of Cash Value and $5.00 per $1,000 of additional Cash Value.

Administrative Charge

An administrative charge is deducted proportionally from the policy's Sub-Account and Fixed Account allocations on the Policy Date and each monthly anniversary of the Policy Date. The charge reimburses Nationwide for the costs of maintaining the policy, including accounting and record-keeping. The charge is currently $12.50 per month through the first year from the Policy Date, and $5 per month after the first year from the Policy Date. The maximum guaranteed charge is $25 per month through the first year from the Policy Date, and $7.50 per month after the first year from the Policy Date.

Increase Charge

The increase charge is deducted from the Cash Value when the policy owner requests an increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount. It is used to cover the cost of underwriting the requested increase and processing and distribution expenses related to the increase.

The increase charge is comprised of two components: underwriting and administration; and sales. The underwriting and administration component is equal to $1.50 per year per $1,000 of increase. The sales component is equal to $0.54 per year per $1,000 of increase. Together, the maximum charge totals $2.04 per year ($0.17 per month).

Mutual Fund Operating Expenses

In addition to the policy charges, there are also charges associated with the mutual funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest. Policy owners do not pay these charges directly, but these charges do affect the value of the assets allocated to the Sub-Accounts because these charges are reflected in the underlying mutual fund prices that Nationwide subsequently

28

uses to value Sub-Account units. The underlying mutual funds' prospectuses contain additional information about these charges. Policy owners may contact the Service Center to receive, free of charge, copies of the prospectuses for any of the underlying mutual funds available under the policy.

Reduction of Charges

The policy may be purchased by individuals, corporations, and other entities. Nationwide may reduce or eliminate certain charges (Sales Load, Surrender Charge, administrative charges, Cost of Insurance Charge, or other charges) where the size or nature of the group allows Nationwide to realize savings with respect to sales, underwriting, administrative, or other costs. Where prohibited by state law, Nationwide will not reduce charges associated with the policy.

Nationwide determines the eligibility and the amount of any reduction by examining a number of factors, including: the number of policies owned with different insureds; the total premium Nationwide expects to receive; the total cash value of commonly owned policies; the nature of the relationship among individual insureds; the purpose for which the policies are being purchased; the length of time Nationwide expects the individual policies to be in force; and any other circumstances which are rationally related to the expected reduction in expenses.

Nationwide may lower commissions to the selling broker-dealer and/or increase charge back of commissions paid for policies sold with reduced or eliminated charges. Policy owners should consult with a registered representative about reductions available and, where appropriate, obtain an illustration demonstrating the impact of any reduced charges on the policy.

Nationwide may change both the extent and the nature of the charge reductions. Any charge reductions will be applied in a way that is not unfairly discriminatory to policy owners and will reflect the differences in costs of services provided.

Entities considering purchasing the policy should note that in 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris that certain annuity benefits provided by employers' retirement and fringe benefit programs may not vary between men and women on the basis of sex. The policies are based upon actuarial tables that distinguish between men and women unless the purchaser is an entity and requests non-sex distinct tables be used for underwriting. The policies generally provide different benefits to men and women of the same age. Accordingly, employers and employee organizations should consider, in consultation with legal counsel, the impact of Norris on any employment related insurance or benefit program before purchasing the policy.

A Note on Charges

During a policy's early years, the expenses Nationwide incurs in distributing and establishing the policy exceed the deductions. Nevertheless, Nationwide expects to make a profit over time because variable life insurance is intended to be a long-term financial investment. Accordingly, Nationwide has designed the policy with features and investment options that it believes support and encourage long-term ownership.

Nationwide makes many assumptions and accounts for many economic and financial factors when establishing the policy's fees and charges. The following is a discussion of some of the factors that are relevant to the policy's pricing structure.

Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses

Distribution, promotional, and sales expenses include amounts paid to broker-dealer firms as commissions, expense allowances, and marketing allowances. Nationwide refers to these expenses collectively as "total compensation."

Nationwide has the ability to customize the total compensation package of its broker-dealer firms. Nationwide may vary the form of compensation paid or the amounts paid as commission, expense allowance, or marketing allowance; however, the total premium based compensation will not exceed the maximum (99% of first year premium and no more than 4% of any excess and renewal premium). Commission may also be paid as an asset-based amount instead of a premium based amount. If an asset-based commission is paid, it will not exceed 0.45% of the non-loaned Cash Value per year.

Marketing allowance is based on a firm’s ability and demonstrated willingness to promote and market Nationwide’s products. How any marketing allowance is spent is determined by the firm, but generally will be used to finance firm activities that may contribute to the promotion and marketing of Nationwide’s products.

The actual amount and/or forms of total compensation paid depend on factors such as the level of premiums Nationwide receives from respective broker-dealer firms and the scope of services the firms provide. Some broker-dealer firms may not receive maximum total compensation.

29

Individual registered representatives typically receive a portion of the commissions/total compensation paid, depending on their arrangement with their broker-dealer firm. Policy owners should consult the registered representative to know the exact compensation arrangement associated with this policy.

Information on Underlying Mutual Fund Service Fee Payments

Nationwide's Relationship with the Underlying Mutual Funds

The underlying mutual funds incur expenses each time they sell, administer, or redeem their shares. The separate account aggregates policy owner purchase, redemption, and transfer requests and submits net or aggregated purchase/redemption requests to each underlying mutual fund daily. The separate account (not the policy owners) is the underlying mutual fund shareholder. When the separate account aggregates transactions, the underlying mutual fund does not incur the expense of processing individual transactions it would normally incur if it sold its shares directly to the public. Nationwide incurs these expenses instead.

Nationwide also incurs the distribution costs of selling the policy (as discussed above), which benefit the underlying mutual funds by providing policy owners with Sub-Account options that correspond to the underlying mutual funds.

An investment advisor or subadvisor of an underlying mutual fund or its affiliates may provide Nationwide or its affiliates with wholesaling services that assist in the distribution of the policy and may pay Nationwide or its affiliates to participate in educational and/or marketing activities. These activities may provide the advisor or subadvisor (or their affiliates) with increased exposure to persons involved in the distribution of the policy.

Types of Payments Nationwide Receives

In light of the above, the underlying mutual funds or their affiliates make certain payments to Nationwide or its affiliates (the "payments"). The amount of these payments is typically based on a percentage of assets invested in the underlying mutual funds attributable to the policies and other variable policies Nationwide and its affiliates issue, but in some cases may involve a flat fee. These payments are made for various purposes, including payments for the services provided and expenses incurred by the Nationwide companies in promoting, marketing and administering the policies and underlying funds. Nationwide may realize a profit on the payments received.

Nationwide or its affiliates receive the following types of payments:

• Underlying mutual fund 12b-1 fees, which are deducted from underlying mutual fund assets;

• Sub-transfer agent fees or fees pursuant to administrative service plans adopted by the underlying mutual fund, which may be deducted from underlying mutual fund assets; and

• Payments by an underlying mutual fund's advisor or subadvisor (or its affiliates). Such payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee, which is deducted from underlying mutual fund assets and is reflected in mutual fund charges.

Furthermore, Nationwide benefits from assets invested in affiliated underlying mutual funds (i.e., Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust) because these affiliates receive compensation from the underlying mutual funds for investment advisory, administrative, transfer agency, distribution, and/or other services provided. Overall, Nationwide may receive more revenue with respect to affiliated underlying mutual funds than unaffiliated underlying mutual funds.

Nationwide took into consideration the anticipated mutual fund service fee payments from the underlying mutual funds when it determined the charges imposed under the policies (apart from fees and expenses imposed by the underlying mutual funds). Without these mutual fund service fee payments, Nationwide would have imposed higher charges under the policy.

Amount of Payments Nationwide Receives

For the year ended December 31, 2016, the underlying mutual fund service fee payments Nationwide and its affiliates received from the underlying mutual funds did not exceed 0.75% (as a percentage of the average daily net assets invested in the underlying mutual funds) offered through the policy or other variable policies that Nationwide and its affiliates issued. Payments from investment advisors or subadvisors to participate in educational and/or marketing activities have not been taken into account in this percentage.

Most underlying mutual funds or their affiliates have agreed to make payments to Nationwide or its affiliates, although the applicable percentages may vary from underlying mutual fund to underlying mutual fund and some may not make any payments at all. Because the amount of the actual payments Nationwide or its affiliates receive depends on the assets of

30

the underlying mutual funds attributable to the policy, Nationwide and its affiliates may receive higher payments from underlying mutual funds with lower percentages (but greater assets) than from underlying mutual funds that have higher percentages (but fewer assets).

For policies owned by an employer sponsored retirement plan subject to ERISA, upon a plan trustee’s request, Nationwide will provide a best estimate of plan-specific, aggregate data regarding the amount of underlying mutual fund service fee payments Nationwide received in connection with the plan’s investments either for the previous calendar year or plan year, if the plan year is not the same as a calendar year.

Identification of Underlying Mutual Funds

Nationwide may consider several criteria when identifying the underlying mutual funds, including some or all of the following: investment objectives, investment process, investment performance, risk characteristics, investment capabilities, experience and resources, investment consistency, fund expenses, asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Other factors Nationwide may consider during the identification process are: whether the underlying mutual fund's advisor or sub-advisor is a Nationwide affiliate; whether the underlying mutual fund or its service providers (e.g., the investment advisor or sub-advisors), or its affiliates will make mutual fund service fee payments to Nationwide or its affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing, and support services; or whether affiliates of the underlying mutual fund can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the policies. For additional information on these arrangements, see Types of Payments Nationwide Receives. Nationwide reviews the funds periodically and may remove a fund or limit its availability to new contributions and/or transfers of account value if we determine that a fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the fund has not attracted significant allocations from policy owners.

There may be underlying mutual funds with lower fees and expenses, as well as other variable policies that offer underlying mutual funds with lower fees and expenses. Policy owners should consider all of the fees and charges of the policy in relation to its features. Higher policy fees and charges and underlying mutual fund fees and expenses have a direct effect on the policy’s investment performance.

Policy Riders and Rider Charges

Policy owners may purchase one or more of the policy’s Riders. There may be additional charges assessed for elected Riders, see In Summary: Fee Tables. The availability, operation, and benefits of the Riders may vary by the state where the policy is issued.

Rider charges are assessed starting on the Policy Date and each monthly anniversary of the Policy Date by taking deductions from the Cash Value. If a Rider is elected after the Policy Date, Rider charges will begin to be deducted on the first monthly anniversary after Nationwide approves the request unless the policy owner requests and Nationwide approves a different date.

Rider charges compensate Nationwide for the services and benefits provided, the costs and expenses incurred, and the risks assumed by Nationwide associated with offering the Riders. Nationwide may generate a profit from any of the Rider charges.

The maximum and minimum/current Rider charges are stated in the Fee Tables, see In Summary: Fee Tables.

Note: The charge and/or benefits received under certain Riders may be treated as a distribution from the policy for income tax purposes, see Periodic Withdrawals, Non-Periodic Withdrawals in Taxes, and Policy Loans.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider

Subject to Nationwide’s underwriting approval, this Rider may be elected at any time. The Rider pays a benefit, in addition to the Death Benefit, to the named beneficiary upon the Insured's accidental death. The benefit continues until the Insured reaches Attained Age 70. The policy owner will be charged for this Rider: so long as the policy remains In Force and the Rider's term has not expired; the benefit has been paid, the policy matures or otherwise terminates, or until the Rider is terminated by written request to the Service Center. When a written request to terminate the Rider is received, termination will be effective on the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date coinciding with or next following receipt of the written request to terminate by the Service Center. Upon termination of the Rider, benefits will no longer be available and the Rider charge will no longer be assessed.

31

The charge for this benefit is deducted from the policy's Cash Value, therefore this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value. Otherwise, the benefit of this Rider and the Death Benefit are independent of one another.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider Charge

The charge for this Rider compensates Nationwide for providing coverage in the event of the Insured's accidental death, meaning the Insured's death as a result of bodily injury caused by external, violent and accidental means from a cause other than a risk not assumed. The charge is the product of the Accidental Death Benefit Rider Specified Amount and the accidental death benefit cost of insurance rate. The accidental death benefit cost of insurance rate is based on Nationwide’s expectations as to the likelihood of the Insured's accidental death. The accidental death benefit cost of insurance rate will vary by the Insured's sex, Attained Age, underwriting class and any Substandard Ratings.

Base Insured Term Rider

Subject to Nationwide’s underwriting approval, this Rider is available when the policy is In Force. The benefit is term life insurance on the Insured, in addition to the Death Benefit, payable to the beneficiary upon the Insured's death.

The benefit amount varies monthly and is based on the elected death benefit option. The policy owner may renew coverage annually until the Insured reaches Attained Age 95, when this Rider's term expires. Because the charge for this benefit is deducted from the policy's Cash Value, purchasing this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value.

Before deciding whether to purchase the Rider it is important to know that when this Rider is purchased, the compensation received by the registered representative and his or her firm is less than when compared to purchasing insurance coverage under the base policy. As a result of this compensation reduction, the charges assessed for the cost of insurance under the Rider will be lower for a significant period of time. There are instances where the Rider may require lower Premium to maintain the total death benefit over the life of the policy or may require higher Premium when compared to not purchasing the Rider at all. When the Rider is purchased, the Maturity Date for coverage under the Rider may not be extended (resulting in a loss of coverage at maturity).

Base Insured Term Rider Charge

The charge for this Rider compensates Nationwide for providing term life insurance on the Insured. The charge is the product of the Rider Specified Amount and the additional protection cost of insurance rate. The additional protection cost of insurance rate is based on an expectation as to the Insured's mortality. The additional protection cost of insurance rate will vary by: the Insured's sex; Attained Age; underwriting class; any Substandard Ratings; and the Rider Specified Amount.

Change of Insured Rider

The Rider is only available in connection with policies issued to corporate entities or in other business contexts where the primary purpose is to provide protection or benefits to employees. The Rider is not available to individuals outside of these limited business purposes. The benefit associated with the Change of Insured Rider is that the policy owner may designate a new Insured at any time after the Policy Date, subject to insurability and the conditions below. If this Rider is invoked, the policy charges after the change will be based on the underwriting classification and characteristics of the new Insured.

The amount of insurance coverage after the change date will be the Total Specified Amount shown on the application to change the Insured provided that (1) the policy continues to qualify as life insurance under the Code, and (2) such Total Specified Amount equals or exceeds the minimum Total Specified Amount shown on the Policy Data Pages. Coverage of the new Insured will become effective on the change date. Coverage of the previous Insured will terminate on the day before the change date. The change date is the first monthly anniversary on or next following the date the change of Insured conditions are met. The Policy Date will not change.

32

Change of Insured conditions:

(1)	At the time of the change, the new Insured must have the same business relationship to the policy owner as did the previous Insured.
(2)	The new Insured may be required to submit satisfactory evidence of insurability.
(3)	The new Insured must satisfy Nationwide’s underwriting requirements.
(4)	The policy must be In Force and not be in a Grace Period at the time of the change.
(5)	The new Insured must have been at least age 18 on the Policy Date.
(6)	The policy owner must make written application to change the Insured to the Service Center.

Federal income tax consequences may result from a change in insured. For federal income tax purposes the substitution of a new insured is treated as an exchange of the policy for another life insurance policy. Because the new insured is not the same as the insured that was substituted, the tax free treatment for policy exchanges under Code Section 1035 may not be available because the requirement that the insured under the policy relate to the same individual would not be met; consequently, the excess Cash Surrender Value over the investment in the policy would be taxable as ordinary income. The foregoing is not comprehensive and cannot replace personalized advice provided by a competent tax professional. The policy owner should seek competent tax advice regarding the tax treatment of the policy when contemplating a change of insured.

Change of Insured Rider Charge

There is no charge associated with the Change of Insured Rider.

Children's Term Insurance Rider

Subject to underwriting approval, a policy owner may purchase term life insurance on the Insured's children at any time while the policy is In Force. If an insured child dies while the policy is In Force and before the Maturity Date, the policy pays a benefit to the named beneficiary. The insurance coverage for each insured child will continue (as long as the policy is In Force) until the earlier of: (1) the policy anniversary on or next following the date the Insured's child turns age 22; or (2) the policy anniversary on which the Insured reaches Attained Age 65. Subject to certain conditions specified in the Rider, the Rider may be converted into a policy on the life of the insured child without evidence of insurability. The Rider will be effective until the Rider's term expires, until the benefit is paid, the policy terminates, or until the Rider is terminated by written request to the Service Center. When a written request to terminate the Rider is received, termination will be effective the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date coinciding with or next following receipt of the written request to terminate by the Service Center. Upon termination of the Rider, benefits will no longer be available and the Rider charge will no longer be assessed.

Children’s Term Insurance Rider Charge

A monthly Children's Term Insurance Rider Charge will be deducted if this Rider is elected. The Children’s Term Insurance Rider Charge compensates Nationwide for providing term insurance on the lives of each Insured child. The Rider charge will be assessed as long as the policy is In Force and the Rider is in effect. The Rider charge will be the same, even if the number of children covered under the Rider changes. Nationwide may decline a request to add another child based on underwriting standards.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider

This Rider is only available at application and has no loan value or Cash Surrender Value. The purpose of this Rider is to keep the death benefit In Force and to prevent the policy from Lapsing. The benefit is a death benefit payable to the beneficiary, less any Indebtedness and any withdrawals.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider Charge

There is no charge for this Rider during the first three policy years. In the first month of the third Policy year, this charge will begin and after the third Policy year, this Rider ensures that the base policy will remain In Force even if the Cash Surrender Value is zero or less, as long as: 1) the Rider is In Force; 2) the Insured is alive; and 3) the annual Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Rider Minimum Premium requirement has been met. The annual Rider Minimum Premium is shown on the Policy Data Page and is based on the issue age, sex, Total Specified Amount, death benefit option and underwriting class of the Insured.

33

On each policy anniversary, Nationwide will determine if the Rider Minimum Premium requirement has been met. This requirement shall be met if the sum of all previous Premium payments under the policy, less any partial withdrawals and existing policy Indebtedness is greater than or equal to the sum of the annual Rider Minimum Premiums for the previous policy years. If this requirement is met, the policy is guaranteed to remain In Force during the next policy year, provided there are no new loans or partial withdrawals. If this requirement is not met, Nationwide will notify the policy owner of the Premium payments required in order to continue benefits under this Rider. A Grace Period of 61 days will be provided and if the required Premiums are not received during this Grace Period, the Rider will terminate without value. During this Grace Period, the Rider charge will still apply. During any policy year when benefits are being paid under the Waiver of Monthly Deduction Rider, the annual Rider Minimum Premium that policy year will be equal to zero.

Spouse Life Insurance Rider

The benefit associated with the Spouse Life Insurance Rider is a death benefit payable upon the death of the spouse named on the application ("Insured Spouse") to the designated beneficiary. If no beneficiary is designated, the benefit is payable to the Insured.

This Rider may be purchased at any time while the policy is In Force, subject to underwriting approval and the following age restrictions:

• the Insured must be between Attained Age 21 and 59 (this Rider is no longer available on or after the policy anniversary on which the Insured reaches Attained Age 59); and

• the Insured Spouse must be between Attained Age 18 and 69 at the time this Rider is elected.

This Rider will terminate on the earliest of: the policy anniversary on which the Insured Spouse reaches Attained Age 70, the date the Rider is converted to a new policy, the date the policy matures, or until the Rider or policy is terminated by written request to the Service Center.

This Rider has a conversion right. The Insured Spouse may exchange this Rider's benefit for a level premium, level benefit, permanent plan of whole life insurance, subject to limitations.

Spouse Life Insurance Rider Charge

A monthly Rider charge is deducted if this Rider is elected. The Spouse Life Insurance Rider Charge compensates Nationwide for providing term insurance on the life of the Insured Spouse. The Rider charge is the product of the Spouse Life Insurance Rider's Specified Amount and the Insured Spouse life insurance cost of insurance rate. The Insured Spouse life insurance cost of insurance rate is based on Nationwide’s expectations as to the mortality of the Insured Spouse. The Insured Spouse life insurance cost of insurance rate will vary by the Insured Spouse's sex, Attained Age, underwriting class, any Substandard Ratings, and the Spouse Life Insurance Rider's Specified Amount.

The Spouse Life Insurance Rider Charge will be deducted proportionally from the Sub-Account and Fixed Account allocations. Because the Spouse Life Insurance Rider Charge is deducted from Cash Value, purchasing this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value. Decreases in the Base Policy Specified Amount may result in a corresponding decrease in the Spouse Life Insurance Rider's Specified Amount.

Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider

Subject to Nationwide’s underwriting approval, this Rider can be elected at any time so long as the policy is In Force and it is before the Policy Date on or following the date the Insured reaches age 59.

Rider Benefit

The benefit associated with this Rider is a waiver of the policy's monthly deductions if the Insured becomes totally disabled, as defined in the Rider, for at least six consecutive months. No benefit is available if total disability results from a risk not assumed; risks not assumed may vary by state. Contact the Service Center to obtain a copy of the Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider applicable to the policy.

Disability During the First Three Years from the Policy Date

If the Insured becomes totally disabled for six consecutive months within the first three years from the Policy Date, the benefit is a credit to the policy in an amount necessary to keep the policy In Force as opposed to a waiver of the monthly deductions. The Cash Value will increase by the amount in which the minimum monthly premium exceeds the monthly deductions, just as if the minimum monthly premium had been paid.

34

Disability Following the First Three Years from the Policy Date

If the Insured becomes totally disabled for six consecutive months any time after the first three years from the Policy Date, the benefit is a waiver of the policy's monthly deductions. For example, if the policy owner becomes totally disabled for six consecutive months two years and eight months from the Policy Date, for the first four months, the benefit would be a credit equal to the amount necessary to keep the policy In Force. After that, the Rider's benefit becomes a waiver of the policy's monthly charges.

Following the third year from the Policy Date, the Rider's benefit alone may not be sufficient to keep the policy from Lapsing. The policy owner may need to make additional premium payments to prevent Lapse. However, while the Rider's benefit is being paid, it will cost less on a monthly basis to keep the policy In Force.

Benefit Duration

The benefit duration depends on the Insured's age when total disability begins. Before age 60, the benefit continues for as long as the Insured is totally disabled (even if that disability extends past when the Insured reaches age 65). Between ages 60 and 63, the benefit continues until the Insured turns age 65. From age 63, the benefit lasts only for two years.

Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider Charge

The charge for this Rider compensates Nationwide for the risks assumed in crediting and/or waiving policy charges during the Insured's total disability. The charge is the product of the amount of periodic charges deducted from the policy on a monthly basis (excluding the cost for this Rider) and the deduction waiver cost rate. The deduction waiver cost rate is based on Nationwide’s expectations as to the likelihood of the Insured's total disability for six consecutive months. The deduction waiver cost rate varies by the Insured's sex, Attained Age, underwriting class, and any Substandard Ratings.

The charge for this Rider is deducted proportionately from the Sub-Account and Fixed Account allocations; therefore, purchasing this Rider could reduce the amount of Proceeds payable when the Death Benefit depends on Cash Value.

Policy Owner Services

Dollar Cost Averaging

Dollar cost averaging is an investment strategy designed to reduce the investment risks associated with market fluctuations and promote a more stable Cash Value and Death Benefit over time. A policy owner may elect to participate in the dollar cost averaging program at the time of application or at a later date by submitting an election form to the Service Center. An election to participate in the program that is submitted after application will be effective at the end of the Valuation Period coinciding with the date requested or, if that date has passed or no date is specified, at the end of the Valuation Period during which the request was received, or the end of the free look period, whichever is later.

There is no charge for dollar cost averaging and dollar cost averaging transfers do not count as transfer events. Dollar cost averaging transfers will continue to be processed until there is no more Cash Value left in the originating investment option(s) or until a policy owner instructs Nationwide to terminate the service. Policy owners may direct Nationwide to automatically transfer specific amounts from the Fixed Account and the:

• Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust - Federated NVIT High Income Bond Fund: Class I

• Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust - NVIT Government Bond Fund: Class I

• Nationwide Variable Insurance Trust - NVIT Government Money Market Fund: Class I

to any other Sub-Account. Certain Sub-Accounts may or may not be available depending on when the policy was purchased, see Appendix A: Sub-Account Information for details on Sub-Account availability. Transfers from the Fixed Account must be no more than 1/30th of the Fixed Account value at the time the program is elected.

Nationwide does not assure the success of these strategies and cannot guarantee that dollar cost averaging will result in a profit or protect against a loss. A policy owner should carefully consider his or her financial ability to continue these programs over a long enough period of time to purchase Accumulation Units when their value is low, as well as when their value is high. Nationwide may modify, suspend, or discontinue these programs at any time. Nationwide will notify policy owners in writing 30 days before doing so.

35

Automated Income Monitor

Automated Income Monitor is an optional systematic partial surrender and/or policy loan program that may be elected at any time, at no additional cost. This program is only available to policies that are not modified endowment contracts.

Automated Income Monitor programs are intended for policy owners who wish to take an income stream of scheduled payments from the Cash Value of the policy. The income stream is generated via partial surrenders until the policy cost basis is depleted, then through policy loans. Taking partial surrenders and/or policy loans may result in adverse tax consequences, will reduce policy values and therefore limit the ability to accumulate Cash Value, and may increase the likelihood the policy will Lapse. Before requesting the Automated Income Monitor program, policy owners should consult with financial and tax advisors.

At the time of application for a program, Nationwide will provide policy owners with an illustration of the proposed income stream and impacts to the Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, and Death Benefit. Policy owners must submit this illustration along with an application when electing an Automated Income Monitor program. Programs will commence at the beginning of the next monthly anniversary after Nationwide receives the election form and illustration. On each policy anniversary thereafter Nationwide will provide an updated In Force illustration to assist policy owners in determining whether to continue, modify, or discontinue an elected program. Policy owners may request modification or termination of a program at any time by written request to the Service Center.

A policy owner’s program will be based on the policy's Cash Surrender Value at the time of election and each succeeding policy anniversary, and on the following elections:

(1) Payment type:

(a)	Fixed Amount: If a policy owner elected payments of a fixed amount, the amount received will not vary with policy Investment Experience; however, the length of time the elected payment amount can be sustained will vary based on the illustration assumptions below and the policy's Investment Experience; or
(b)	Fixed Duration: If a policy owner elected payments for a fixed duration, the amount received during the first year will be based on the illustration assumptions below. After the first year, the amount will vary based on the illustration assumptions and policy Investment Experience to maintain the elected duration.

(2) Illustration assumptions:

(a)	an assumed variable rate of return specified by the policy owner from the available options stated in the election form;
(b)	minimum Cash Surrender Value targeted by the policy owner to have remaining on the policy's Maturity Date, or other date specified by the policy owner. This dollar amount is used to calculate available income. It is not guaranteed to be the Cash Surrender Value on the specified date;
(c)	a policy owner may also request a change of death benefit option, or a decrease in Base Policy Specified Amount to be effective in conjunction with commencing a program or to occur at a future date; and
(d)	payment frequency: monthly; quarterly; semi-annually; or annually. Payments on a monthly basis are made by direct deposit (electronic funds transfer) only.

Generally, higher variable rate of return assumptions, a lower target Cash Surrender Value, and Death Benefit Option 1, will result in larger projected payments or longer projected durations. However, larger payments or longer duration may increase the likelihood the policy will Lapse.

Note: Policy owners are responsible for monitoring the policy to prevent Lapse. Nationwide will provide annual In Force illustrations based on current Cash Surrender Values and the elected illustration assumptions to assist policy owners with preventing Lapse. Policy owners may request modification or termination of a program at any time by written request to the Service Center.

Automated Income Monitor programs are subject to the following additional conditions:

(1) To prevent adverse tax consequences, a policy owner can authorize Nationwide to make scheduled payments via policy loan when:

(a)	the policy's cost basis is reduced to zero;
(b)	a partial surrender within the first 15 policy years would be a taxable event;

36

(c)	or to prevent the policy from becoming a MEC, see Taxes.
	Note: Partial surrenders and policy loans taken under the Automated Income Monitor program are subject to the same terms and conditions as other partial surrenders and policy loans, see Partial Surrender and Policy Loans.

(2)	While a program is in effect, no Premium payment reminder notices will be sent unless requested; however, Premium payments will be accepted.
(3)	Programs will terminate on the earliest of the following:

(a)	Nationwide’s receipt at the Service Center of a written request to terminate participation;
(b)	at the time the policy enters a Grace Period or terminates for any reason;
(c)	at the time of a requested partial surrender or policy loan outside the program;
(d)	upon a change of policy owner;
(e)	for income based on a fixed duration, the end of the period the policy owner specified at the time of election;
(f)	on any policy anniversary when the current Cash Surrender Value is less than or equal to the target Cash Surrender Value assumption the policy owner specified;
(g)	at any time the scheduled partial surrender or policy loan would cause the policy to fail to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code; or
(h)	the policy's Maturity Date.

Nationwide will notify policy owners upon termination of an Automated Income Monitor program. In addition, Nationwide may modify, suspend, or discontinue Automated Income Monitor programs at any time. Nationwide will notify policy owners in writing 30 days before doing so.

Policy Loans

After the expiration of the free look period and while the policy is In Force, a policy owner may take a policy loan. A policy loan will be effective as of the date Nationwide receives the policy owner's written request at the Service Center. Nationwide reserves the right to require written requests to be submitted on current Nationwide forms. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this prospectus, Nationwide may accept requests submitted via telephone, subject to dollar amount limitations and payment and other restrictions to prevent fraud. Nationwide reserves the right to discontinue acceptance of telephonic requests at any time upon written notice. Contact the Service Center for current limitations and restrictions.

Taking a policy loan may increase the risk of Lapse and may result in adverse tax consequences. Unpaid loan interest charges accrue daily at a compounded annual interest rate and can cause the policy's Indebtedness to grow significantly. The policy owner should request an illustration demonstrating the impact of a policy loan on the policy's Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, and Death Benefit Proceeds.

Loan Amount

The minimum loan amount is $200. At the time of a loan request, policy Indebtedness cannot exceed 90% of the Cash Value less any Surrender Charge, less interest due on the next policy anniversary. Nationwide pays the policy loan to the policy owner with assets from its general account. Nationwide then uses the policy's Cash Value as collateral for the loan as described below.

Collateral and the Policy Loan Account

As collateral for the policy loan, Nationwide transfers an amount equal to the policy loan from the policy's investment options. Collateral amounts are transferred from the Cash Value to the policy loan account (which is part of Nationwide's general account). Because the policy loan account does not participate in the Investment Experience of the Sub-Accounts, policy loans can permanently affect the Death Benefit Proceeds and the Cash Value of the policy, even if repaid. The policy loan account may be subject to Nationwide's creditors in the event of insolvency.

37

Amounts transferred from the policy's Cash Value equal to the policy loan account are deducted from the Sub-Accounts in the same proportion as the Sub-Account allocations, unless the policy owner has instructed otherwise. Nationwide will only transfer amounts from the Fixed Account if the loan amount exceeds 90% of the Cash Value allocated to the Sub-Accounts.

The policy owner will earn interest on the collateral held in the policy loan account. Interest will accrue daily at no less than the guaranteed minimum rate stated on the Policy Data Pages. The interest earned on the policy loan account may be different than the rate earned on Cash Value allocated to the Fixed Account.

Interest Charged

Nationwide charges interest against policy Indebtedness. Indebtedness is the total amount of all outstanding policy loans, including principal and compounded interest due. The maximum interest rate Nationwide may charge against Indebtedness is 6.00% per annum, see In Summary: Fee Tables for current interest charged rates. Rates may change and may vary by policy year. Policy loan interest charges may provide revenue for risk charges and profit.

If policy loan interest is not paid when due, policy Indebtedness will continue to compound at the interest rate in effect, see When Interest is Charged and Credited below. If not paid when due, Nationwide will deduct an amount equal to the unpaid interest from the policy's Cash Value and add it to the policy loan account causing the original policy loan amount (now, "Indebtedness") to increase by the amount of the unpaid interest charged. Amounts transferred from the policy's investment options as unpaid interest charges will be deducted from the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account in the same manner as a new loan.

Note: Over time, unpaid loan interest charges can cause the policy's Indebtedness to be significant. In some cases, policy Indebtedness may be significant enough to cause the policy to Lapse. In general, it is advantageous to repay Indebtedness and at a minimum, the interest charged on Indebtedness, at least annually.

Indebtedness is considered a part of the policy's Cash Value, therefore, upon a full surrender, Lapse, or maturity, the amount received in the original loan request(s), plus unpaid loan interest charged is considered "received" under the Code and may result in adverse tax consequences, see Surrender, Lapse, Maturity in Taxes.

When Interest is Charged and Credited

Interest charged against Indebtedness accrues daily. Interest earned on collateral also accrues daily. Nationwide will deduct interest charged on Indebtedness from the policy's Cash Value, and credit interest earned on collateral to the Cash Value:

• Annually, at the end of a policy year;

• At the time a new loan is requested;

• When a loan repayment is made;

• Upon the Insured's death;

• Upon policy Lapse and/or;

• Upon a full surrender of the policy.

In most cases, the interest earned on collateral and credited to the Cash Value will be less and in some cases, significantly less, than the interest charged against the Cash Value.

Repayment

The policy owner may repay all or part of policy Indebtedness at any time while the policy is In Force. The minimum loan repayment amount, if any, is stated in the policy. The policy owner should contact the Service Center to obtain loan pay-off amounts.

Note: Interest earned on collateral is not deducted from Indebtedness to calculate loan pay off amounts. If a loan repayment is made, the policy owner's Cash Value is credited with interest earned on collateral and the amount of the loan repayment is deducted from the policy's Indebtedness.

38

Nationwide will treat any payments made as Premium payments, unless the policy owner specifies that the payment should be applied against the policy's Indebtedness. It may be beneficial for the policy owner to repay Indebtedness before making additional Premium payments because Premium Load charges are deducted from Premium payments but not from loan repayments.

If the policy owner makes a loan repayment, it will be applied to the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account in accordance with the allocation instructions in effect at the time the payment is received, unless the policy owner indicates otherwise.

Repaying Indebtedness will cause the Death Benefit and net Cash Surrender Value to increase accordingly.

Lapse

The policy is at risk of Lapsing when the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the policy’s monthly deductions, see Unfavorable Investment Experience. Before any policy Lapse, there is a Grace Period during which the policy owner can take action to prevent the Lapse. Subject to certain conditions, the policy owner may reinstate a policy that has Lapsed.

Grace Period

The policy owner will receive notice when the Grace Period begins. The notice will state an amount of Premium required to avoid Lapse that is equal to four times the current monthly deductions. If this Premium amount is not paid within 61 days, the policy and all Riders will Lapse. The Grace Period will not alter the operation of the policy or the payment of Proceeds.

The policies will not Lapse during the first three policy years provided that on each monthly anniversary date 1) is greater than or equal to 2), where:

1)	is the sum of all Premiums paid to date minus any Indebtedness, minus any partial surrenders; and
2)	is the sum of monthly Premiums required since the Policy Date, including the monthly minimum Premium for the current monthly anniversary date.

If 1) is less than 2) and the Cash Surrender Value is less than zero, a Grace Period of 61 days from the monthly anniversary day will be allowed for the payment of sufficient Premium to satisfy the minimum Premium requirement. If sufficient Premium is not paid by the end of the Grace Period, the policy will Lapse without value. In any event, the policy will not Lapse as long as there is a positive Cash Surrender Value.

Beginning with the fourth policy year, if the Cash Surrender Value on a monthly anniversary day is not sufficient to cover the current policy charges, a Grace Period of 61 days from the monthly anniversary day will be allowed for the payment of sufficient Premium to cover the current policy charges due, plus an amount equal to three times the current monthly deduction.

Reinstatement

The policy owner may reinstate a Lapsed policy by:

• Submitting a written request at any time within three years after the end of the Grace Period and prior to the Maturity Date; and

• Providing further satisfactory evidence of insurability that Nationwide may require; and

❍	Paying an amount of Premium equal to the minimum monthly Premiums missed since the beginning of the Grace Period, if the policy terminated in the first three policy years; or
❍	Paying sufficient Premium to cover all policy charges that were due and unpaid during the Grace Period if the policy terminated in the fourth or later policy year; and

• Paying sufficient Premium to keep the policy In Force for three months from the date of reinstatement; and

• Paying or reinstating any Indebtedness against the policy which existed at the end of the Grace Period.

The policy owner may also reinstate coverage under certain Riders subject to satisfactory evidence of insurability.

After Nationwide approves the application for reinstatement and receives the required Premium, the effective date of a reinstated policy, including any Riders, will be the monthly anniversary date on or next following the date the application for reinstatement is approved. If the policy is reinstated, the Cash Value on the date of reinstatement will be set equal to the lesser of:

39

• The Cash Value at the end of the Grace Period; or

• The surrender charge for the year from the Policy Date in which the policy was reinstated.

Nationwide will add any Premiums or loan repayments made to reinstate the policy. The allocations to the Sub-Accounts in effect at the start of the Grace Period will be reinstated, unless the policy owner instructs otherwise.

Surrenders

Full Surrender

The policy may be surrendered for the Cash Surrender Value at any time while it is In Force. A surrender will be effective as of the date Nationwide receives the policy owner’s written surrender request at the Service Center. Nationwide reserves the right to require written requests to be submitted on current Nationwide forms. Nationwide may require the policy owner to return the policy. Nationwide may also postpone payment of that portion of the Cash Surrender Value attributable to the Fixed Account for up to six months.

Policy Restoration after a Full Surrender

Prior to the Insured's death, Nationwide will permit restoration of a surrendered policy pursuant to established procedures to meet the requirements of state insurance law regarding the replacement of life insurance (i.e., use of the Proceeds from a surrendered policy to purchase a new policy). Restored policies will be treated as if they were never surrendered for all purposes, including Investment Experience, interest, and deduction of charges, see Policy Restoration Procedure in the Statement of Additional Information.

Partial Surrender

The policy owner may request a partial surrender of the policy's Cash Surrender Value at any time after it has been In Force for one year from the Policy Date. Currently, there is no charge for partial surrenders. Partial surrenders are permitted if they satisfy the following requirements:

(1)	The minimum amount of any partial surrender is $500;
(2)	Partial surrenders may not reduce the Base Policy Specified Amount to less than $50,000;
(3)	After a partial surrender, the Cash Surrender Value is greater than $500 or an amount equal to three times the current monthly deduction if higher;
(4)	Maximum total partial surrenders in any policy year are limited to 10% of the total net Premium payments applied to the policy. Currently, this requirement is waived beginning in the 15th year if the Cash Surrender Value is $10,000 or more after the withdrawal; and
(5)	After the partial surrender, the policy continues to qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this prospectus, Nationwide may accept requests submitted via telephone, subject to dollar amount limitations and payment and other restrictions to prevent fraud. Nationwide reserves the right to discontinue acceptance of telephonic requests at any time upon written notice. Contact the Service Center for current limitations and restrictions.

When a partial surrender is made, the Cash Value will be reduced by the amount of the partial surrender. Under Death Benefit Option 1, the Base Policy Specified Amount is reduced by the amount of the partial surrender, unless the Death Benefit is based on the applicable percentage of Cash Value. In that case, a partial surrender will decrease the Base Policy Specified Amount proportionally based on the applicable percentage of Cash Value by the amount the partial surrender exceeds the difference between the Death Benefit and Base Policy Specified Amount.

If a policy owner takes a partial surrender, Nationwide will surrender Accumulation Units proportionally from the Sub-Accounts equal to the amount of the partial surrender. If there is insufficient value in the Sub-Accounts, Nationwide will surrender amounts from the Fixed Account.

Partial surrenders may be subject to income tax penalties. They could also cause the policy to become a "modified endowment contract" under the Code, which could change the income tax treatment of any distribution from the policy, see Periodic Withdrawals, Non-Periodic Withdrawals, and Loans.

40

Reduction of Base Policy Specified Amount on a Partial Surrender

Nationwide will reduce the Cash Value of the policy by the amount of any partial surrender in the same proportion as how Cash Value is allocated among the Sub-Accounts. Nationwide will only reduce the Cash Value attributable to the Fixed Account when allocations in the Sub-Accounts are insufficient to cover the amount of the partial surrender.

Nationwide may reduce the Base Policy Specified Amount to ensure that the Net Amount At Risk does not increase due to a partial surrender. Because the policy’s Net Amount At Risk is the same before and after the reduction, a partial surrender by itself does not alter the policy's cost of insurance. The policy's charges going forward will be based on a new Base Policy Specified Amount that will change the calculation of those charges. Depending on changes in variables such as the Cash Value, these charges may increase or decrease after the reduction in Base Policy Specified Amount.

Any reduction to the Base Policy Specified Amount will be made in the following order:

• against the most recent increase in the Base Policy Specified Amount;

• against the next most recent increases in the Base Policy Specified Amount in succession; and

• against the Base Policy Specified Amount under the original application.

The Death Benefit

Calculation of the Death Benefit

The Death Benefit will be calculated when Nationwide has received (at the Service Center) all information required to process the claim for Death Benefit Proceeds, including, but not limited to, proof that the Insured has died and any other information Nationwide may reasonably require. The Death Benefit may be subject to an adjustment if an error or misstatement was made upon application, or if the Insured dies by suicide.

While the policy is In Force, the Death Benefit will never be less than the Base Policy Specified Amount. The Death Benefit will depend on the death benefit option elected, certain Riders, and the tax test elected as discussed in greater detail below. The Death Benefit may vary with the Cash Value of the policy, which is affected by Investment Experience, Indebtedness, and any due and unpaid monthly deductions that accrued during a Grace Period.

Death Benefit Options

Policy owners have a choice of one of two available death benefit options under the policy. If a death benefit option is not selected, Nationwide will issue the policy with Death Benefit Option 1. Not all death benefit options are available in all states.

Death Benefit Option 1: The Death Benefit will be the greater of the Total Specified Amount or the applicable percentage of Cash Value. The amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds will ordinarily not change for several years to reflect Investment Experience and may not change at all. If Investment Experience is favorable, the amount of the Death Benefit Proceeds may increase.

Death Benefit Option 2: The Death Benefit will be the greater of the Total Specified Amount plus the Cash Value as of the date of death or the applicable percentage of Cash Value, and will vary directly with Investment Experience.

In connection with both death benefit options, the term "applicable percentage" means:

(1)	250% when the Insured is Attained Age 40 or less at the beginning of a policy year; and
(2)	When the Insured is above Attained Age 40, the percentage shown in the "Applicable Percentage of Cash Value Table".

The Minimum Required Death Benefit

The policy has a Minimum Required Death Benefit. The Minimum Required Death Benefit is the lowest Death Benefit that will qualify the policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code.

The tax tests for life insurance generally require that the policy have a significant element of life insurance and not be primarily an investment vehicle. At the time the policy is issued, the policy owner irrevocably elects one of the following tests to qualify the policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code:

• the cash value accumulation test; or

• the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.

If a specific test is not elected, Nationwide will issue the policy with the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.

Cash Value Accumulation Test

The cash value accumulation test determines the Minimum Required Death Benefit by multiplying the Cash Value by a percentage calculated as described in the Code. The percentages depend upon the Insured's age, sex, and underwriting classification. Under the cash value accumulation test, there is no limit to the amount that may be paid in Premiums as long as there is sufficient Death Benefit in relation to the Cash Value at all times.

Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test

The guideline premium/cash value corridor test determines the Minimum Required Death Benefit by comparing the Death Benefit to an applicable percentage of the Cash Value. These percentages are set out in the Code, but the percentage varies only by the Attained Age of the Insured.

In deciding which test to elect for the policy, consider the following:

• The cash value accumulation test generally allows flexibility to pay more Premium, subject to Nationwide's approval of any increase in the policy's Net Amount At Risk that would result from higher Premium payments. Premium payments under the guideline premium/cash value corridor test are limited by Section 7702 of the Code.

• Generally, the guideline premium/cash value corridor test produces a higher Death Benefit in the early years of the policy while the cash value accumulation test produces a higher Death Benefit in the policy's later years.

• Monthly cost of insurance charges that vary with the amount of the Death Benefit may be greater during the years when the elected test produces a higher Death Benefit.

Regardless of which test is elected, Nationwide will monitor compliance to ensure that the policy meets the statutory definition of life insurance under the Code. As a result, the Proceeds payable under a policy should be excludable from gross income of the beneficiary for federal income tax purposes. Nationwide may refuse additional Premium payments or return Premium payments so that the policy continues to meet the Code's definition of life insurance. Consult a qualified tax advisor on all tax matters involving the policy.

42

Changes in the Death Benefit Option

After the first policy year, a policy owner may elect to change the death benefit option from either Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 2, or from Death Benefit Option 2 to Death Benefit Option 1. Nationwide will permit only one change of death benefit option per policy year. The effective date of a change will be the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date following the date Nationwide approves the change.

For any change in the death benefit option to become effective, the Cash Surrender Value after the change must be sufficient to keep the policy In Force for at least three months.

Upon effecting a death benefit option change, the Total Specified Amount may be changed (either increased or decreased) so that the Net Amount At Risk remains the same before and after the change on the date of the change. Because the policy's Net Amount At Risk remains the same before and after the change, changing the death benefit option and preserving the Net Amount At Risk by itself does not alter the policy charges. The policy charges going forward will be based on the adjusted Total Specified Amount. Depending on changes in factors such as fluctuations in the policy's Cash Value, these charges may increase or decrease after the death benefit option change.

The policy owner should request an illustration demonstrating the impact of a change in the policy's death benefit option.

Nationwide will refuse a death benefit option change that would reduce the Total Specified Amount to a level where the Premium already paid would exceed any premium limitations under the Code.

Where the policy owner has selected the guideline premium/cash value corridor test, a change in death benefit option will not be permitted if it results in the total Premium paid exceeding any premium limitations under Section 7702 of the Code.

Incontestability

Nationwide will not contest payment of the Death Benefit based on the initial Total Specified Amount after the policy has been In Force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy Date, and, in some states, within two years from a reinstatement date. For any change in Total Specified Amount requiring evidence of insurability, Nationwide will not contest payment of the Death Benefit based on such increase after it has been In Force during the Insured's lifetime for two years from its effective date, and, in some states, within two years from a subsequent reinstatement date. The incontestability period in some states may be less than two years.

Suicide

If the Insured dies by suicide within two years from the Policy Date, and, in some states, within two years of a reinstatement date, Nationwide will pay no more than the sum of the Premiums paid, less any Indebtedness, and less any partial surrenders. Similarly, if the Insured dies by suicide within two years from the date an application for an increase in the Total Specified Amount was accepted by Nationwide, and, in some states, within two years from a subsequent reinstatement date, Nationwide will pay no more than the Death Benefit Proceeds associated with insurance that has been In Force for at least two years from the Policy Date, plus the Cost of Insurance Charges associated with any increase in Total Specified Amount that has been In Force for a shorter period. The suicide period in some states may be less than two years.

Proceeds Upon Maturity

If the policy is In Force on the Maturity Date we will pay the Proceeds to the Policy Owner.

Normally, the Proceeds will be paid within seven days after receipt of the policy owner’s written request for payment of Proceeds at the Service Center. Nationwide may postpone payment of the Proceeds on the days that it is unable to price Accumulation Units, see Valuation of Accumulation Units. The Proceeds will equal the policy's Cash Value minus any Indebtedness. The policy is terminated once the Proceeds are paid.

Extending Coverage Beyond the Maturity Date

Nationwide may offer to extend coverage beyond the Maturity Date to coincide with the Insured's death, after which Nationwide will pay the Proceeds to the beneficiary. During this time, the policy owner will still be able to request partial surrenders. The extension of coverage beyond the Maturity Date will be for the policy Cash Value. If the policy owner elects to extend coverage beyond the Maturity Date, the policy will be endorsed so that:

(1) no changes to the Base Policy Specified Amount will be allowed;

43

(2)	no additional Premium payments will be allowed;
(3)	100% of the Cash Value will be transferred to the fixed account;
(4)	your policy's Death Benefit will become the Cash Value, irrespective of your previous death benefit option choice;
(5)	no additional monthly periodic charges will be deducted; and
(6)	loan interest will continue to be charged on Indebtedness.

The primary purpose of the coverage extension is to continue the life insurance coverage and avoid current income taxes on any earnings in excess of your cost basis if the maturity Proceeds are taken (see, Taxes; Surrender, Lapse, Maturity).

Assuming no Indebtedness on the Maturity Date and no partial surrenders or loans are taken after the Maturity Date, the Proceeds after the Maturity Date coverage extension will equal or exceed the Proceeds at maturity. However, because the loan interest rate charged may be greater than loan interest credited, if you have an outstanding loan on or after the Maturity Date, Proceeds after the Maturity Date may be less than the proceeds at maturity.

Coverage beyond the Maturity Date will not be extended when the policy would fail the definition of life insurance under the Code (see "The Death Benefit").

Treatment of Unclaimed Property

Every state has unclaimed property laws which generally declare life insurance policies to be abandoned after a period of inactivity of three to five years from the policy Maturity Date or the date Nationwide becomes informed that a Death Benefit is due and payable. For example, if the payment of a Death Benefit has been triggered, but, if after a thorough search, Nationwide is still unable to locate the beneficiary of the Death Benefit, or the beneficiary does not come forward to claim the Death Benefit in a timely manner, the Death Benefit will be surrendered and placed in a non-interest bearing account. While in the non-interest bearing account, Nationwide will continue to perform due diligence required by state law. Once the state mandated period has expired, Nationwide will escheat the Death Benefit to the abandoned property division or unclaimed property office of the state in which the beneficiary or the policy owner last resided, as shown on Nationwide’s books and records, or to Ohio, Nationwide’s state of domicile. If a claim is subsequently made, the state is obligated to pay any such amount (without interest) to the designated recipient upon presentation of proper documentation.

To prevent escheatment, it is important to update beneficiary designations - including complete names, complete addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers - as they change. Such updates should be sent to the Service Center.

Taxes

The tax treatment of life insurance policies under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code") is complex and the tax treatment of the policy will depend on the policy owner's particular circumstances. The policy owner should seek competent tax advice regarding the tax treatment of the policy given their situation. The following discussion provides a general overview of the Code's provisions relating to certain common life insurance policy transactions. Some of the items discussed below may not be applicable to the life insurance policy described herein. It is not and cannot be comprehensive, and it cannot replace personalized advice provided by a competent tax professional.

Types of Taxes

Federal Income Tax

Generally, the United States assesses a tax on income, which is broadly defined to include all items of income from whatever source, unless specifically excluded. Certain expenditures can reduce income for tax purposes and correspondingly the amount of tax payable. These expenditures are called deductions. While there are many more income tax concepts under the Code, the concepts of "income" and "deduction" are the most fundamental to the federal income tax treatment that pertains to this policy.

44

Federal Transfer Tax

In addition to the income tax, the United States also assesses a tax on some or all of the value of certain transfers of property made by gift while a person is living (the federal gift tax), and by bequest or otherwise at the time of a person's death (the federal estate tax).

The federal gift tax is imposed on the value of the property (including cash) transferred by gift. Each donor is allowed to exclude an amount per recipient from the value of present interest gifts. In addition, each donor is allowed a credit against the tax on five million dollars in lifetime gifts (calculated after taking into account the applicable exclusion amount). An unlimited marital deduction may be available for certain lifetime gifts made by the donor to the donor's spouse.

For 2011 and 2012, an estate of less than $5,000,000 (inclusive of certain pre-death gifts) will not incur a federal estate tax liability. Also, the American Taxpayer Relief Act ("ATRA") enacted on January 1, 2013, permanently provides for a maximum federal estate tax rate of 40% with an annually inflation adjusted $5 million exemption for estates of persons dying after December 31, 2012.

Under current law, an unlimited marital deduction is available for federal estate tax purposes for certain amounts that pass to the surviving spouse.

If the transfer is made to someone two or more generations younger than the transferor, the transfer may be subject to the federal generation-skipping transfer tax ("GSTT"). The GSTT provisions generally apply to the same transfers that are subject to estate or gift taxes. The GSTT is imposed at a flat rate equal to the maximum estate tax rate subject to any applicable exemptions. As with the estate tax, the GSTT tax has been repealed for 2010; however, ATRA permanently provides for a GSTT tax rate of 40% with an annually inflation adjusted $5 million exemption.

State and Local Taxes

State and local estate, inheritance, income and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each policy owner or beneficiary. While these taxes may or may not be substantial in every policy owner's case, state by state differences of these taxes preclude a useful description of them in this prospectus.

Buying the Policy

Federal Income Tax

Generally, the Code treats life insurance premiums as a nondeductible expense for income tax purposes.

Federal Transfer Tax

Generally, the Code treats the payment of premiums on a life insurance policy as a gift when the premium payment benefits someone else (such as when premium payments are paid by someone other than the policy owner). Gifts are not generally included in the recipient's taxable income. If the policy owner (whether or not they are the insured) transfers ownership of the policy to another person, the transfer may be subject to a federal gift tax.

Investment Gain in the Policy

The income tax treatment of changes in the policy's cash value depends on whether the policy is "life insurance" under the Code. If the policy meets the definition of life insurance, then the increase in the policy's cash value is not included in the policy owner's taxable income for federal income tax purposes unless it is distributed to the policy owner before the death of the insured.

To qualify as life insurance, the policy must meet certain tests set out in Section 7702 of the Code. Nationwide will monitor the policy's compliance with Code Section 7702, and take whatever steps are necessary to stay in compliance.

Diversification

In addition to meeting the tests required under Section 7702, Section 817(h) of the Code requires that the investments of the separate account be adequately diversified. Regulations under Code Section 817(h) provide that a variable life policy that fails to satisfy the diversification standards will not be treated as life insurance unless such failure was inadvertent, is corrected, and the policy owner or the issuer pays an amount to the IRS. If the failure to diversify is not corrected, the income and gain in the policy would be treated as taxable ordinary income for federal income tax purposes.

Nationwide will also monitor compliance with Code Section 817(h) and the regulations applicable to Section 817(h) and, to the extent necessary, take appropriate action to remain in compliance.

45

Representatives of the IRS have informally suggested, from time to time, that the number of underlying investment options available or the number of transfer opportunities available under a variable insurance product may be relevant in determining whether the product qualifies for the desired tax treatment. In 2003, the IRS issued formal guidance, in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, that indicates that if the number of underlying investment options available in a variable insurance product does not exceed 20, the number of underlying investment options alone would not cause the policy to not qualify for the desired tax treatment. The IRS has also indicated that exceeding 20 underlying investment options may be considered a factor, along with other factors including the number of transfer opportunities available under the policy, when determining whether the policy qualifies for the desired tax treatment. The revenue ruling did not indicate the number of underlying investment options, if any, that would cause the policy to not provide the desired tax treatment. Should the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury issue additional rules or regulations limiting: the number of underlying investment options, transfers between underlying investment options, exchanges of underlying investment options or changes in the investment objectives of underlying investment options such that the policy would no longer qualify as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code, Nationwide will take whatever steps are available to remain in compliance.

Based on the above, the policy should be treated as life insurance for federal income tax purposes.

Periodic Withdrawals, Non-Periodic Withdrawals and Loans

The tax treatment described in this section applies to withdrawals and loans, premiums Nationwide accepts but then returns to meet the Code's definition of life insurance, and amounts used to pay the premium on any rider to the policy.

The income tax treatment of distributions of cash from the policy depends on whether the policy is also a "modified endowment contract" under the Code. Generally, the income tax consequences of owning a life insurance policy that is not a modified endowment contract are more advantageous than the tax consequences of owning a life insurance policy that is a modified endowment contract.

The policies offered by this prospectus may or may not be issued as modified endowment contracts. If a policy is issued as a modified endowment contract, it will always be a modified endowment contract; a policy that is not issued as a modified endowment contract can become a modified endowment contract due to subsequent transactions with respect to the policy, such as payment of additional premiums. If the policy is not issued as a modified endowment contract, Nationwide will monitor it and advise the policy owner if the payment of a premium, or other transaction, may cause the policy to become a modified endowment contract. It is only with the policy owner's written authorization that Nationwide will permit the policy to become a modified endowment policy. Otherwise, Nationwide will reject the requested action or refund any Premium paid in excess of the modified endowment limits.

Depending on the policy owner's circumstances, the use of the cash value of the policy to pay for the cost of any rider added to the base policy, could be treated as a distribution, and would be subject to the rules described below. Policy owners should seek competent tax advice regarding the tax treatment of the addition of any rider to the policy, based on the policy owner's individual facts and circumstances.

In general, interest the policy owner pays on a loan from a policy will not be deductable. Also, if a loan from a policy that is not a modified endowment contract is outstanding when the policy is canceled or lapses, the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be added to the amount distributed and will be taxed accordingly. Before taking a policy loan, the policy owner should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences.

When the Policy is Life Insurance that is a Modified Endowment Contract

Section 7702A of the Code defines modified endowment contracts as those life insurance policies issued or materially changed on or after June 21, 1988 on which the total premiums paid during the first 7 years exceed the amount that would have been paid if the policy provided for paid up benefits after 7 level annual premiums. Under certain conditions, a policy may become a modified endowment contract, or may become subject to a new 7 year testing period as a result of a "material change" or a "reduction in benefits" as defined by Section 7702A(c) of the Code.

All modified endowment contracts issued to the same owner by the same company during a single calendar year are required to be aggregated and treated as a single policy for purposes of determining the amount that is includible in income when a distribution occurs.

The Code provides special rules for the taxation of surrenders, partial surrenders, loans, collateral assignments, and other pre-death distributions from modified endowment contracts. Under these special rules, such transactions are taxable to the extent that at the time of the transaction the cash value of the policy exceeds the 'investment in the contract'

46

(generally, the net Premiums paid for the policy). In addition, a 10% tax penalty generally applies to the taxable portion of such distributions unless the policy owner is over age 59½ or disabled, or the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments as defined in the Code.

When the Policy is Life Insurance that is NOT a Modified Endowment Contract

If the policy is not issued as a modified endowment contract, Nationwide will monitor premiums paid and will notify the policy owner when the policy is in jeopardy of becoming a modified endowment contract.

Distributions from life insurance policies that are not modified endowment contracts generally are treated as being first from the investment in the contract, and then from the income in the policy. Because premium payments are generally nondeductible, distributions not in excess of investment in the contract are generally not includible in income; instead, they reduce the owner's investment in the contract.

However, if a policy is not a modified endowment contract, a cash distribution during the first 15 years after a policy is issued that causes a reduction in death benefits may still be fully or partially taxable to the policy owner pursuant to Section 7702(f)(7) of the Code. The policy owner should carefully consider this potential tax ramification and seek further information before requesting any changes in the terms of the policy.

In addition, unlike a modified endowment contract, a loan from a life insurance policy that is not a modified endowment contract is not taxable when made, although it can be treated as a distribution if it is forgiven during the owner's lifetime. Distributions from policies that are not modified endowment contracts are not subject to the 10% early distribution penalty tax.

Surrender, Lapse, Maturity

A full surrender, cancellation of the policy by lapse, or the maturity of the policy on its maturity date may have adverse income tax consequences. If the amount received (or are deemed received upon maturity) plus total policy indebtedness exceeds the investment in the contract, then the excess generally will be treated as taxable ordinary income, regardless of whether or not the policy is a modified endowment contract. In certain circumstances, for example when the policy indebtedness is very large, the amount of tax could exceed the amount distributed to the policy owner at surrender.

The purpose of the maturity date extension feature is to permit the policy to continue to be treated as life insurance for tax purposes. Although Nationwide believes that the extension provision will cause the policy to continue to be treated as life insurance after the initially scheduled maturity date, that result is not certain due to a lack of specificity in the guidance on the issue. The policy owner should consult with a qualified tax advisor regarding the possible adverse tax consequences that could result from an extension of the scheduled maturity date.

Additional Medicare Tax

Effective January 1, 2013, Section 1411 of the Code imposes a surtax of 3.8% on certain net investment income received by individuals and certain trusts and estates. The surtax is imposed on the lesser of (a) net investment income or (b) the excess of the modified adjusted gross income over a threshold amount. For individuals, the threshold amount is $250,000 (married filing jointly); $125,000 (married filing separately); or $200,000 (single, or head of household (with qualifying person, or qualifying widow(er) with dependent child)). The threshold for an estate or trust that is subject to the surtax is generally equal to the dollar amount at which the highest tax bracket under section 1(e) begins for the taxable year; for 2017, that amount is $12,500.

Modified adjusted gross income is equal to adjusted gross income with several modifications; the policy owner should consult with a tax advisor regarding how to determine the policy owner's modified adjusted gross income for purposes of determining the applicability of the surtax.

Net investment income includes, but is not limited to, interest, dividends, capital gains, rent and royalty income, and income from nonqualified annuities; and may include taxable distributions from, and gain from the sale or surrenders of, life insurance policies.

Net investment income does not include, among other things, distributions from certain qualified plans (such as IRAs, Roth IRAs, and plans described in Internal Revenue Code Sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) or 457(b)); however, such distributions, to the extent that they are includible in income for federal income tax purposes are includible in modified adjusted gross income.

47

Sale of a Life Insurance Policy

If a life insurance policy is sold for a gain, all or a portion of the gain will be treated as ordinary income. In Revenue Ruling 2009-13, the IRS concluded that the amount of gain realized from the sale of a life insurance policy is equal to the amount received (which can include relief from, or assumption of debt) over the owner's basis in the policy. The portion of the gain that is equal to the excess of the cash surrender value over the investment in the policy would be treated as ordinary income; any additional gain would be short or long-term capital gain, depending on the holding period. The ruling also concluded that the owner's basis in the policy that is used to calculate the gain resulting from the sale of the life insurance policy is the investment in the policy reduced by the cost of insurance previously paid out of the cash value. Consequently, a sale may result in more gain than a surrender for the same amount.

Exchanging the Policy for Another Life Insurance Policy

Generally, policy owners will be taxed on amounts received in excess of premium payments when the policy is surrendered in full. If, however, the policy is exchanged for another life insurance policy, modified endowment contract, or annuity contract, the transaction will not be taxed on the excess amount if the exchange meets the requirements of Code Section 1035. To meet Section 1035 requirements, the insured named in the policy must be the insured for the new policy. Generally, the new policy or contract will be treated as having the same issue date and tax basis as the old policy or contract.

If the policy or contract is subject to a policy indebtedness that is discharged as part of the exchange transaction, the discharge of the indebtedness may be taxable. Policy owners should consult with their personal tax or legal advisors in structuring any policy exchange transaction.

Federal Income Taxation of Death Benefits

Death of Insured

The death benefit is generally excludable from the beneficiary's gross income under Section 101 of the Code by reason of the insured’s death. However, if the policy had been transferred to a new policy owner for valuable consideration (e.g., through a sale of the policy), a portion of the death benefit may be includible in the beneficiary's gross income when it is paid.

The payout option selected by the policy's beneficiary may affect how the payments received by the beneficiary are taxed. Under the various payout options, the amount payable to the beneficiary may include earnings on the death benefit, which will be taxable as ordinary income. For example, if the beneficiary elects to receive interest only, then the entire amount of the interest payment will be taxable to the beneficiary; if a periodic payment (whether for a fixed period or for life) is selected, then a portion of each payment will be taxable interest income, and a portion will be treated as the nontaxable payment of the death benefit. The policy's beneficiaries should consult with their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences of electing a payout option, based on their individual circumstances.

Accelerated Death Benefits

The death benefit under a life insurance policy may be distributed at a time earlier than the death of the insured, and all or a portion of the distribution may still be excludable from gross income under the Code.

Terminal Illness

The death benefit under a life insurance policy may be distributed when the insured is considered a "terminally ill individual" as that term is defined under Section 101 of the Code. In this situation the distribution is treated as paid by reason of death of the insured and will generally be excluded from the beneficiary’s gross income under Section 101 of the Code.

Federal Transfer (Estate, Gift and Generation Skipping Transfer) Taxes

When the insured dies, the death benefit will generally be included in the insured's federal gross estate if: (1) the proceeds were payable to or for the benefit of the insured's estate; or (2) the insured held any "incident of ownership" in the policy at death or at any time within three years of death. An incident of ownership, in general, is any right in the policy that may be exercised by the policy owner, such as the right to borrow on the policy or the right to name a new beneficiary.

48

If the beneficiary is two or more generations younger than the insured, the death benefit may be subject to the GSTT. Pursuant to regulations issued by the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, Nationwide may be required to withhold a portion of the proceeds and pay them directly to the IRS as the GSTT payment.

If the policy owner is not the insured or a beneficiary, payment of the death benefit to the beneficiary will be treated as a gift to the beneficiary from the policy owner.

Special Considerations for Corporations

Special federal income tax considerations for life insurance policies owned by employers

Sections 101(j) and 6039I of the Code provide special rules regarding the tax treatment of death benefits that are payable under life insurance policies owned by the employer of the insured. These provisions are generally effective for life insurance policies issued after August 17, 2006. If a life insurance policy was issued on or before August 17, 2006, but materially modified after that date, it will be treated as having been issued after that date for purposes of Section 101(j). Policies issued after August 17, 2006 pursuant to a Section 1035 exchange generally are excluded from the operation of these provisions, provided that the policy received in the exchange does not have a material increase in death benefit or other material change with respect to the old policy.

Section 101(j) provides the general rule that, with respect to an employer-owned life insurance policy, the amount of death benefit payable directly or indirectly to the employer that may be excluded from income cannot exceed the sum of premiums and other payments paid by the policy owner for the policy. Consequently, under this general rule, the entire death benefit, less the cost to the policy owner, will be taxable. Although Section 101(j) is not clear, if lifetime distributions from the policy are made as a nontaxable return of premium, it appears that the reduction would apply for Section 101(j) purposes and reduce the amount of premiums for this purpose.

There are two exceptions to this general rule of taxability, provided that statutory notice, consent, and information requirements are satisfied. First, if proper notice and consent are given and received, and if the insured was an employee at any time during the 12-month period before the insured's death, then Section 101(j) would not apply.

Second, if proper notice and consent are given and received and, at the time that the policy is issued, the insured is either a director, a "highly compensated employee" (within the meaning of Section 414(q) of the Code without regard to paragraph (1)(B)(ii) thereof), or a "highly compensated individual" (within the meaning of Section 105(h)(5), except "35%" is substituted for "25%" in paragraph (C) thereof), then Section 101(j) would not apply.

Code Section 6039I requires any policy owner of an employer-owned policy to file an annual return showing (a) the number of employees of the policy owner, (b) the number of such employees insured under employee-owned policies at the end of the year, (c) the total amount of insurance in force with respect to those policies at the end of the year, (d) the name, address, taxpayer identification number and type of business of the policy owner, and (e) that the policy owner has a valid consent for each insured (or, if all consents are not obtained, the number of insured employees for whom such consent was not obtained). Proper recordkeeping is also required by this section.

It is the employer's responsibility to (a) provide the proper notice to each insured, (b) obtain the proper consent from each insured, (c) inform each insured in writing that the employer-owner will be the beneficiary of any proceeds payable upon the death of the insured, and (d) file the annual return required by Section 6039I. If the employer-owner fails to provide the necessary notice and information, or fails to obtain the necessary consent, the death benefit will be taxable when received. If the employer-owner fails to file a properly completed return under Section 6039I, a penalty may apply.

Limitation on interest and other business deductions

Section 264 of the Code imposes a number of limitations on the interest and other business deductions that may otherwise be available to businesses that own life insurance policies. In addition, the premium paid by a business for a life insurance policy is not deductible as a business expense or otherwise if the business is directly or indirectly a beneficiary of the policy.

For purposes of the alternative minimum tax ("AMT") that may be imposed on corporations, the death benefit from a life insurance policy, even though excluded from gross income for normal tax purposes, is included in "adjusted current earnings" for AMT purposes. In addition, although increases to the cash surrender value of a life insurance policy are generally excluded from gross income for normal income tax purposes, such increases are included in adjusted current earnings for income tax purposes.

Due to the complexity of these rules, and because they are affected by the policy owner's facts and circumstances, the policy owner should consult with legal and tax counsel and other competent advisors regarding these matters.

49

Federal appellate and trial courts have examined the economic substance of transactions involving life insurance policies owned by corporations. These cases involved relatively large loans against the policy's cash value as well as tax deductions for the interest paid on the policy loans by the corporate policy owner to the insurance company. Under the particular factual circumstances in these cases, the courts determined that the corporate policy owners should not have taken tax deductions for the interest paid. Accordingly, the court determined that the corporations should have paid taxes on the amounts deducted. Corporations should consider, in consultation with tax advisors familiar with these matters, the impact of these decisions on the corporation's intended use of the policy.

Business Uses of the Policy

The life insurance policy may be used in various arrangements, including nonqualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans, and others. The tax consequences of these plans may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement. Therefore, if the policy owner is contemplating using the policy in any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax consequences, the policy owner should be sure to consult a tax advisor as to tax attributes of the arrangement.

Non-Resident Aliens and Other Persons Who are Not Citizens of the United States

Special income tax laws and rules apply to non-resident aliens of the United States including certain withholding requirements with respect to pre-death distributions from the policy. In addition, foreign law may impose additional taxes on the policy, the death benefit, or other distributions and/or ownership of the policy.

In addition, special gift, estate and GSTT laws and rules may apply to non-resident aliens, and to transfers to persons who are not citizens of the United States, including limitations on the marital deduction if the surviving or donee spouse is not a citizen of the United States.

If the policy owner is a non-resident alien, or a resident alien, or if any of the policy's beneficiaries (including the policy owner's spouse) are not citizens of the United States, the policy owner should confer with a competent tax advisor with respect to the tax treatment of this policy.

If the policy owner, the insured, the beneficiary, or other person receiving any benefit or interest in or from the policy, are not both a resident and citizen of the United States, there may be a tax imposed by a foreign country that is in addition to any tax imposed by the United States. The foreign law (including regulations, rulings, treaties with the United States, and case law) may change and impose additional or increased taxes on the policy, payment of the death benefit, or other distributions and/or ownership of the policy.

FATCA

Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (commonly referred to as FATCA), distributions from a policy to a foreign financial institution or to a nonfinancial foreign entity, each as described by FATCA, may be subject to United States tax withholding at a flat rate equal to 30% of the taxable amount of the distribution, irrespective of the status of any beneficial owner of the policy or of the distribution. Nationwide may require you to provide certain information or documentation (e.g., Form W-9 or Form W-8BEN) to determine its withholding requirements under FATCA.

Withholding and Tax Reporting

Distribution of taxable income from a life insurance policy, including a life insurance policy that is a modified endowment contract, is subject to federal income tax withholding. Generally, the recipient may elect not to have the withholding taken from the distribution. Nationwide will withhold income tax unless the policy owner advises Nationwide, in writing, of their request not to withhold. If the policy owner requests that taxes not be withheld, or if the taxes withheld are insufficient, the policy owner may be liable for payment of an estimated tax.

A policy owner is not permitted to waive withholding if the payee does not provide Nationwide with a taxpayer identification number; or if Nationwide receives notice from the Internal Revenue Service that the taxpayer identification number furnished by the payee is incorrect. In that instance, a distribution will be subject to withholding rates established by Section 3405 of the Code and will be applied against the amount of income that is distributed.

50

However, interest earned on a death benefit may be subject to mandatory back-up withholding. Mandatory backup withholding means that Nationwide is required to withhold taxes on income earned at the rate established by Section 3406 of the Code. Mandatory backup withholding may arise if Nationwide has not been provided a taxpayer identification number, or if the IRS notifies Nationwide that back-up withholding is required.

In certain employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements, participants may be required to report for income tax purposes, one or more of the following:

• the value each year of the life insurance protection provided;

• an amount equal to any employer-paid Premiums;

• some or all of the amount by which the current value exceeds the employer's interest in the policy; and/or

• interest that is deemed to have been forgiven on a loan that Nationwide deems to have been made by the employer.

Participants in an employer-sponsored plan relating to this policy should consult with the sponsor or the administrator of the plan, and/or with their personal tax or legal advisor to determine the tax consequences, if any, of their employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements.

Taxes and the Value of the Policy

For federal income tax purposes, a separate account is not a separate entity from the company. Thus, the tax status of the separate account is not distinct from our status as a life insurance company. Investment income and realized capital gains on the assets of the separate account are reinvested and taken into account in determining the value of Accumulation Units. As a result, such investment income and realized capital gains are automatically applied to increase reserves under the policies.

At present, Nationwide does not expect to incur any federal income tax liability that would be chargeable to the Accumulation Units. Based upon these expectations, no charge is being made against the policy's Accumulation Units for federal income taxes. If, however, Nationwide determines that taxes may be incurred, Nationwide reserves the right to assess a charge for these taxes.

Nationwide may also incur state and local taxes (in addition to those described in the discussion of the Premium Taxes) in several states. At present, these taxes are not significant. If they increase, however, charges for such taxes may be made that would decrease the value of the policy's Accumulation Units.

Tax Changes

The foregoing is a general discussion of various tax matters pertaining to life insurance policies. It is based on our understanding of federal tax laws as currently interpreted by the IRS, is general and is not intended as tax advice. The policy owner should consult their independent legal, tax and/or financial advisor.

The Code has been subjected to numerous amendments and changes, and it is reasonable to believe that it will continue to be revised. The United States Congress has, in the past, considered numerous legislative proposals that, if enacted, could change the tax treatment of life insurance policies. For example the "FY 2013, Budget of the United States Government" includes a proposal which, if enacted, would affect the treatment of corporate owned life insurance policies by limiting the availability of certain interest deductions for companies that purchase those policies. No proposed statutory language has been released yet, so the specifics of the proposal cannot be addressed herein. Such a proposal, if enacted, could have an adverse tax impact on the ownership of life insurance by or for the benefit of business entities. It is reasonable to believe that such proposals, and future proposals, may be enacted into law. The U.S. Treasury Department may amend existing regulations, issue new regulations, or adopt new interpretations of existing law that may differ from its current positions on these matters. In addition, current state law (which is not discussed herein) and future amendments to state law may affect the tax consequences of the policy.

Any or all of the foregoing may change from time to time without any notice, and the tax consequences arising out of a policy may be changed retroactively. There is no way of predicting if, when, or to what extent any such change may take place. Nationwide make no representation as to the likelihood of the continuation of these current laws, interpretations, and policies.

Nationwide Life Insurance Company

Nationwide, the depositor, is a stock life insurance company organized under Ohio law in March 1929, with its home office at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215. Nationwide is a provider of life insurance, annuities, and retirement products. It is admitted to do business in all states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.

Nationwide is a member of the Nationwide group of companies. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (the "Companies") are the ultimate controlling persons of the Nationwide group of companies. The Companies were organized under Ohio law in December 1925 and 1933 respectively. The Companies engage in a general insurance and reinsurance business, except life insurance.

Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2

Organization, Registration, and Operation

Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 is a separate account established under Ohio law. Nationwide owns the assets in this account and is obligated to pay all benefits under the policies. Nationwide may use the separate account to support other variable life insurance policies that it issues. The separate account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") and qualifies as a "separate account" within the meaning of federal securities laws. For purposes of federal securities laws, the separate account is, and will remain, fully funded at all times. This registration does not involve the SEC's supervision of the separate account's management or investment practices or policies.

The separate account is divided into Sub-Accounts that invest in shares of the underlying mutual funds. Nationwide buys and sells the mutual fund shares at their respective NAV. Any dividends and distributions from a mutual fund are reinvested at NAV in shares of that mutual fund.

Income, gains, and losses, whether or not realized, from the assets in the separate account will be credited to, or charged against, the separate account without regard to Nationwide's other income, gains, or losses. Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, a Sub-Account reflect the Sub-Account's own Investment Experience and not the investment experience of Nationwide's other assets. The separate account's assets are held separately from Nationwide’s other assets and are not part of Nationwide’s general account. Nationwide may not use the separate account's assets to pay any of its liabilities other than those arising from the policies. Nationwide will hold assets in the separate account equal to its liabilities. The separate account may include other Sub-Accounts that are not available under the policies, and are not discussed in this prospectus.

Nationwide does not guarantee any money placed in this separate account. The value of each Sub-Account will increase or decrease, depending on the Investment Experience of the corresponding mutual fund. A policy owner could lose some or all of their money.

Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Mutual Funds

Where permitted by applicable law, Nationwide reserves the right to:

• remove, close, combine, or add Sub-Accounts and make new Sub-Accounts available;

• substitute shares of another mutual fund, which may have different fees and expenses, for shares of an existing mutual fund;

• transfer assets supporting the policies from one Sub-Account to another, or from one separate account to another;

• combine the separate account with other separate accounts, and/or create new separate accounts;

• deregister the separate account under the 1940 Act, or operate the separate account or any Sub-Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act or as any other form permitted by law; and

• modify the policy provisions to reflect changes in the Sub-Accounts and the separate account to comply with applicable law.

Nationwide reserves the right to make other structural and operational changes affecting this separate account.

52

Nationwide will provide notice of any of the changes above. Also, to the extent required by law, Nationwide will obtain the required orders, approvals, and/or regulatory clearance from the appropriate government agencies (such as the various insurance regulators or the SEC). Also, to the extent required by state law, Nationwide will accept an irrevocable election from the policy owner to transfer 100% of the policy's Cash Value to the Fixed Account if received within 60 days after the date the policy owner received notification of a material change in the investment policy of the separate account.

Substitution of Securities

Nationwide may substitute, eliminate, or combine shares of another underlying mutual fund for shares already purchased or to be purchased in the future if either of the following occurs:

(1)	shares of a current underlying mutual fund are no longer available for investment; or
(2)	further investment in an underlying mutual fund is inappropriate.

No substitution of shares may take place without the prior approval of the SEC. All affected policy owners will be notified in the event there is a substitution, elimination, or combination of shares.

The substitute mutual fund may have different fees and expenses. Substitution may be made with respect to existing investments or the investment of future Premium, or both. Nationwide may close Sub-Accounts to allocations of Premiums or policy value, or both, at any time in its sole discretion. The mutual funds, which sell their shares to the Sub-Accounts pursuant to participation agreements, also may terminate these agreements and discontinue offering their shares to the Sub-Accounts.

Deregistration of the Separate Account

Nationwide may deregister Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 under the 1940 Act in the event the separate account meets an exemption from registration under the 1940 Act, if there are no shareholders in the separate account or for any other purpose approved by the SEC.

All policy owners will be notified in the event Nationwide deregisters Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2.

Voting Rights

Although the separate account owns the mutual fund shares, policy owners are the beneficial owner of those shares. When a matter involving a mutual fund is subject to shareholder vote, unless there is a change in existing law, Nationwide will vote the separate account's shares only as instructed by policy owners.

When a shareholder vote occurs, a policy owner will have the right to instruct Nationwide how to vote. The weight of each vote is based on the number of mutual fund shares that corresponds to the amount of Cash Value a policy has allocated to that mutual fund's Sub-Account (as of a date set by the mutual fund). Nationwide will vote shares for which no instructions are received in the same proportion as those that are received. What this means is that when only a small number of policy owners vote, each vote has a greater impact on, and may control the outcome of the vote.

Material Conflicts

The underlying mutual funds may be offered through separate accounts of other insurance companies, as well as through other separate accounts of Nationwide. Nationwide does not anticipate any disadvantages to this. However, it is possible that a conflict may arise between the interests of the variable account and one or more of the other separate accounts in which these underlying mutual funds participate.

Material conflicts may occur due to a change in law affecting the operations of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts, or differences in the voting instructions of the policy owners and those of other companies. If a material conflict occurs, Nationwide will take whatever steps are necessary to protect policy owners and variable annuity payees, including withdrawal of the variable account from participation in the underlying mutual fund(s) involved in the conflict.

Legal Proceedings

Nationwide Life Insurance Company

Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (NFS, or collectively with its subsidiaries, "the Company") was formed in November 1996. NFS is the holding company for Nationwide Life Insurance Company (NLIC), Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (NLAIC) and other companies that comprise the life insurance and retirement savings operations of the

53

Nationwide group of companies (Nationwide). This group includes Nationwide Financial Network (NFN), an affiliated distribution network that markets directly to its customer base. NFS is incorporated in Delaware and maintains its principal executive offices in Columbus, Ohio.

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. These proceedings include proceedings specific to the Company and proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which the Company operates. The outcomes of these proceedings cannot be predicted due to their complexity, scope, and many uncertainties. Regulatory proceedings may also affect the outcome of one or more of the Company’s litigation matters. Furthermore, it is often not possible with any degree of certainty to determine the likely ultimate outcomes of the pending regulatory and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. Some matters are in very preliminary stages, and the Company does not have sufficient information to make an assessment of the claims for liability or damages. In some of the legal proceedings which are seeking to be certified as class actions, the court has not yet decided whether a class will be certified or (in the event of certification) the size of the class and class period. In many of legal proceedings, the plaintiffs are seeking undefined amounts of damages or other relief, including punitive damages and equitable remedies, which are difficult to quantify and cannot be defined based on the information currently available. The Company believes, however, that based on currently known information, the ultimate outcome of all pending legal and regulatory proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position. Nonetheless, it is possible that such outcomes could materially affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial position or results of operations in a particular quarter or annual period given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these legal proceedings and the inherent unpredictability of litigation. The Company maintains Professional Liability Insurance and Director and Officer Liability insurance policies that may cover losses for certain legal and regulatory proceedings. The Company recognizes an asset for insurance recoveries, not to exceed cumulative accrued losses, when recovery under such policies is probable and reasonably estimable.

The various businesses conducted by the Company are subject to oversight by numerous federal and state regulatory entities, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Department of Labor ("DOL"), the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Reserve Bank and state insurance authorities. Such regulatory entities may, in the normal course, be engaged in general or targeted inquiries, examinations and investigations of the Company and/or its affiliates. With respect to all such scrutiny directed at the Company or its affiliates, the Company is cooperating with regulators. The Company will cooperate with its ultimate parent company, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company ("NMIC") insofar as any inquiry, examination or investigation encompasses NMIC’s operations. In addition, recent regulatory activity, including activity by the DOL, may impact the Company’s business and operations, and certain estimates and assumptions used by the Company in determining the amounts presented in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.

Nationwide Investment Services Corporation

The general distributor, NISC, is not engaged in any litigation of any material nature.

Financial Statements

The Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") contains the financial statements of Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 and the consolidated financial statements of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries (the Company). Policy owners may obtain a copy of the SAI FREE OF CHARGE by contacting the Service Center. Please consider the consolidated financial statements of the Company only as bearing on Nationwide’s ability to meet the obligations under the policy. Policy owners should not consider the consolidated financial statements of the Company as affecting the investment performance of the assets of the separate account.

Appendix A: Sub-Account Information

Below is a list of the available Sub-Accounts and information about the corresponding underlying mutual funds in which they invest. The underlying mutual funds in which the Sub-Accounts invest are designed primarily as investments for variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies issued by insurance companies. There is no guarantee that the investment objectives will be met.

Please refer to the prospectus for each underlying mutual fund for more detailed information.

Designations Key:
STTF:	The underlying mutual fund corresponding to this Sub-Account assesses (or reserves the right to assess) a short-term trading fee, see Short-Term Trading Fees.
FF:	The underlying mutual fund corresponding to this Sub-Account primarily invests in other mutual funds. Therefore, a proportionate share of the fees and expenses of any acquired funds are indirectly borne by investors. As a result, investors in this Sub-Account may incur higher charges than if the assets were invested in an underlying mutual fund that does not invest in other mutual funds. Refer to the prospectus for this underlying mutual fund for more information.
VOL:	This underlying mutual fund uses a volatility management strategy to reduce a policy owner’s exposure to equity investments when equity markets are volatile which may limit investment losses in a down market. However, use of such a strategy may also limit the growth of the policy’s Cash Value. Allocation to this type of investment option may result in foregone investment gains that could otherwise be realized by investing in riskier investment options.

Substandard Ratings are shown in the Policy Data Pages as rate class multiples (medical factors) and/or monthly flat extras (medical and/or non-medical factors). The higher the rate class multiple or monthly flat extra, the greater the risk assessed and the higher the cost of coverage.

Total Specified Amount – The sum of the Base Policy Specified Amount and the Rider Specified Amount, if applicable.

Valuation Period – The period during which Nationwide determines the change in the value of the Sub-Accounts. One Valuation Period ends and another begins with the close of trading on the NYSE.

Appendix C: Illustrations of Surrender Charges

Example 1. A female non-tobacco user, age 45, purchases a policy with a Base Policy Specified Amount of $50,000 and a scheduled Premium of $750. She now wishes to surrender the policy during the first policy year. By using the "Initial Surrender Charge" table reproduced below (also see "Surrender Charges"), the total surrender charge per thousand, multiplied by the Base Policy Specified Amount expressed in thousands, equals the total surrender charge of $569.80 ($11.396 x 50=569.80).

Example 2. A male non-tobacco user, age 35, purchases a policy with a Base Policy Specified Amount and a Total Specified Amount of $100,000 and a scheduled Premium of $1,100. He now wants to surrender the policy in the sixth policy year. The total initial surrender charge is calculated using the method illustrated above. (Surrender charge per 1,000=6.817 x 100 for a total of $681.70 maximum initial surrender charge). Because the fifth policy year has been completed, the maximum initial surrender charge is reduced by multiplying it by the applicable percentage factor from the "Reductions to Surrender Charges" table below. (Also see "Reductions to Surrender Charges"). In this case, $681.70 x 60%=$409.02, which is the amount we deduct as a total surrender charge.

The following tables illustrate the maximum initial surrender charge per $1,000 of initial Base Policy Specified Amount for policies that are issued on a standard basis:

Initial Base Policy Specified Amount $50,000-$99,999

Issue Age	Male Non-Tobacco	Female Non-Tobacco	Male Standard	Female Standard
25	$ 7.776	$ 7.521	$ 8.369	$ 7.818

General Information and History

Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 (the "Variable Account") is a separate investment account of Nationwide Life Insurance Company ("Nationwide"). Nationwide is a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Ohio in March 1929 with its Home Office at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215. Nationwide provides life insurance, annuities and retirement products. Nationwide is admitted to do business in all states, the District of Columbia, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Nationwide is a member of the Nationwide group of companies and all of its common stock is owned by Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. ("NFS"), a holding company. Nationwide Corporation owns all of NFS's common stock and is a holding company, as well. All of Nationwide Corporation's common stock is held by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (95.2%) and Nationwide Mutual Fire Insurance Company (4.8%), the ultimate controlling persons of the Nationwide group of companies. The Nationwide group of companies is one of America's largest insurance and financial services family of companies, with combined assets of over $209 billion as of December 31, 2016.

Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2

Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 is a separate account that invests in mutual funds offered and sold to insurance companies and certain retirement plans. Nationwide established the Variable Account on May 7, 1987 pursuant to Ohio law. Although the Variable Account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, the SEC does not supervise the management of Nationwide or the management of the Variable Account. Nationwide serves as the custodian of the assets of the Variable Account.

Nationwide Investment Services Corporation (NISC)

The policies are distributed by NISC, located at One Nationwide Plaza, Columbus, Ohio 43215, a wholly owned subsidiary of Nationwide. For policies issued in Michigan, all references to NISC will mean Nationwide Investment Svcs. Corporation.

The policies will be sold on a continuous basis by licensed insurance agents in those states where the policies may lawfully be sold. Agents are registered representatives of broker dealers registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are member firms of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).

Gross first year commissions plus any expense allowance payments paid by Nationwide on the sale of these policies provided by NISC will not exceed the maximum (99% of first year premium and no more than 4% of any excess and renewal premium). Commission may also be paid as an asset-based amount instead of a premium based amount. If an asset-based commission is paid, it will not exceed 0.45% of the non-loaned Cash Value per year.

No underwriting commissions were paid to NISC for each of this Variable Account’s last three fiscal years.

Services

Nationwide has responsibility for administration of the policies and the Variable Account. Nationwide also maintains the records of the name, address, taxpayer identification number, and other pertinent information for each policy owner and the number and type of policy issued to each policy owner and records with respect to the policy value of each policy.

Nationwide will maintain a record of all purchases and redemption of shares of the mutual funds.

Distribution, Promotional, and Sales Expenses

In addition to or partially in lieu of commission, Nationwide may pay the selling firms a marketing allowance, which is based on the firm's ability and demonstrated willingness to promote and market Nationwide's products. How any marketing allowance is spent is determined by the firm, but generally will be used to finance firm activities that may contribute to the promotion and marketing of Nationwide's products. Nationwide makes certain assumptions about the amount of marketing allowance it will pay and takes these assumptions into consideration when it determines the charges that will be assessed under the policies. Nationwide assumed 0.00% of the Commissionable Target Premium for marketing allowance when determining the charges for the contracts. The actual amount of the marketing allowance may be higher than this assumption. If the actual amount of marketing allowance paid is more than what was assumed, Nationwide will fund the difference. For more information about marketing allowance or how a particular selling firm uses marketing allowances, consult with your registered representative.

2

Commissionable Target Premium (CTP) is an amount used in the calculation of the Premium Load and total compensation Nationwide pays. CTP is actuarially derived based on the Base Policy Specified Amount, the Insured’s characteristics and the death benefit option of the policy.

When Nationwide is made aware that a Qualified Plan has been orphaned, commission payments payable with respect to that Qualified Plan will cease and commission payments that would have been due will not be sent to the Qualified Plan. An orphaned Qualified Plan is a plan without an agent or firm of record.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The financial statements of Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 and the consolidated financial statements and schedules of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries for the periods indicated have been included herein in reliance upon the reports of KPMG LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing. KPMG LLP is located at 191 West Nationwide Blvd., Suite 500, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

Underwriting Procedure

Nationwide underwrites the policies issued through Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2. The policy's cost of insurance depends upon the Insured's sex, issue age, risk class, and length of time the policy has been In Force. The rates will vary depending upon tobacco use and other risk factors. Monthly cost of insurance rates will not exceed those guaranteed in the policy. Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for policies issued on Specified Amounts less than $100,000 are based on the 1980 Commissioners' Extended Term Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday (1980 CET). Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for policies issued on Specified Amounts $100,000 or more are based on the 1980 Commissioners' Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, Age Last Birthday (1980 CSO). For policies issued in Texas on a standard basis ("Special Class–

Standard" in Texas), guaranteed cost of insurance rates for Specified Amounts less than $100,000 are based on 130% of the 1980 CSO. Guaranteed cost of insurance rates for policies issued on a substandard basis are based on appropriate percentage multiples of the standard guaranteed cost of insurance rate on a standard basis. That is, standard guaranteed cost of insurance rates for substandard risks are guaranteed cost of insurance rates for standard risks times a percentage greater than 100%. These mortality tables are sex distinct. In addition, separate mortality tables will be used for tobacco and non-tobacco. As a component of base policy and Rider cost of insurance charges, we may deduct a "flat extra charge," which is an additional factor in determining the constant charge per $1,000 of Specified Amount, for certain activities or medical conditions of the Insured. We apply the same flat extra charge to all Insureds that engage in the same activity or have the same medical condition irrespective of their sex, issue age, underwriting class, or Substandard Rating, if any.

The rate class of an insured may affect the cost of insurance rate. Nationwide currently places Insureds into both standard rate classes and substandard rate classes that involve a higher mortality risk. In an otherwise identical policy, an insured in the standard rate class will have a lower cost of insurance than an insured in a rate class with higher mortality risks. Any change in the cost of insurance rates will apply to all Insureds of the same age, gender, risk class and whose policies have been in effect for the same length of time. The cost of insurance rates, policy charges, and payment options for policies issued in some states or in connection with certain employee benefit arrangements may be issued on a gender-neutral (unisex) basis. The unisex rates will be higher than those applicable to females and lower than those applicable to males. If the rating class for any increase in the Specified Amount of insurance coverage is not the same as the rating class at issue, the cost of insurance rate used after such increase will be a composite rate based upon a weighted average of the rates of the different rating classes. The actual charges made during the policy year will be shown in the annual report delivered to policy owners.

Policy Restoration Procedure

Requests to restore a surrendered policy must meet the following requirements:

• the request must be in writing and signed by the policy owner (if the surrender was a Code Section 1035 exchange to a new policy with a different insurer, the signature of an officer of the replacing insurer is also required);

• the written request must be received at the Service Center within 30 days of the date the policy was surrendered (periods up to 60 days will be permitted based on the right to examine period applicable to replaced life insurance policies in the state where the policy was issued);

• the surrender Proceeds must be returned in their entirety; and

3

• the insured must be alive on the date the restoration request is received.

No proof of insurability or additional underwriting will be required for requests to restore a surrendered policy that meet the above requirements.

A restored policy will be treated as if it had never been surrendered for all purposes, including Investment Experience, accrual of interest, and deduction of charges, resulting in the following:

• the returned surrender proceeds and any amount taken as a surrender charge will be used to purchase Accumulation Units according to the allocations currently in effect on, and priced as of, the surrender date;

• any charges that would otherwise have been assessed during the period of surrender will be assessed as of the date(s) they were due resulting in the cancellation of Accumulation Units priced as of the applicable date(s);

• interest will be credited on any allocation to a fixed investment option at the rate(s) in effect during the period of surrender;

• interest charged and credited on any Indebtedness will accrue at the rates in effect for the period of surrender; and

• any transfer of loan interest charged or credited that would have occurred during the period of surrender will be transferred as of the date(s) such transfers would have otherwise occurred.

Policy restoration is not a contract right of the policy; it is an administrative procedure based on requirements of state insurance law and the terms are subject to change without notice at any time.

Maximum Surrender Charge and Maximum Surrender Charge Calculation

The surrender charge equals the underwriting component and 26.5% of the sales expense component. The underwriting component is designed to cover the administrative expenses associated with underwriting and issuing policies and varies by issue age in the following manner:

Per $1,000 of Initial Specified Amount

Issue Age	Specified Amounts less than $100,000	Specified Amounts $100,000 or more
0-35	$6.00	$4.00
36-55	$7.50	$5.00
56-80	$7.50	$6.50

The sales expense component will not exceed 26.5% of the lesser of the guideline level Premium required in the first year, or Premiums paid in the first policy year. The sales component is designed to reimburse us for expenses incurred in the distribution of the policies.

The maximum surrender charge under the policy is based on the following calculation.

Maximum Surrender Charge 26.50% multiplied by the lesser of (a) or (b),where:
(a)	=	the Specified Amount multiplied by the rate indicated on the chart "Surrender Target Factor" below divided by 1,000; and
(b)	=	Premiums paid by the policy owner during the first policy year
Plus (c) multiplied by (d) where:
(c)	=	the Specified Amount divided by 1,000; and
(d)	=	the applicable rate from the "Administrative Target Factor" chart below.

The Surrender Target Factor allows the company to account for the probability that our costs incurred in the sales process will not be recouped. The Administrative Target Factor allows the company to account for the probability (at various ages) that death will occur and no surrender charge will be recouped.

Illustrations

Nationwide will provide illustrations of future benefits under the policy before the policy is purchased and upon request thereafter. Nationwide may assess a $25 fee for this service to persons who request more than one policy illustration during a policy year.

Note: The policy owner selects the Premium amount and frequency shown in the policy illustration to show Nationwide how much Premium the policy owner intends to pay and when. Illustrated Premium and hypothetical rates of return are not guaranteed. Investment Experience varies over time, is rarely the same year-over-year, and may be negative. Because the policy is a variable universal life insurance policy with the potential for unfavorable Investment Experience, including extended periods of significant stock market decline, additional Premium may be required to meet a policy owner's goals

5

and/or to prevent the policy from Lapsing. Generally, variable universal life insurance is considered a long-term investment. Policy owners should weigh the investment risk and costs associated with the policy against their objectives, time horizon, risk tolerance, and ability to pay additional Premium if necessary.

Independent financial rating services, including Moody's, Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best Company rank and rate Nationwide. The purpose of these ratings is to reflect the financial strength or claims-paying ability of Nationwide. The ratings are not intended to reflect the Investment Experience or financial strength of the Variable Account. Nationwide may advertise these ratings from time to time. In addition, Nationwide may include in certain advertisements, endorsements in the form of a list of organizations, individuals or other parties which recommend Nationwide or the policies. Furthermore, Nationwide may occasionally include in advertisements comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets, or discussions of alternative investment vehicles and general economic conditions.

Money Market Yields

Nationwide may advertise the "yield" and "effective yield" for the money market Sub-Account. Yield and effective yield are annualized, which means that it is assumed that the underlying mutual fund generates the same level of net income throughout a year.

Yield is a measure of the net dividend and interest income earned over a specific seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement) expressed as a percentage of the offering price of the underlying mutual fund's units. The effective yield is calculated similarly, but reflects assumed compounding, calculated under rules prescribed by the SEC. Thus, effective yield will be slightly higher than yield, due to the compounding.

Historical Performance of the Sub-Accounts

Nationwide will advertise historical performance of the Sub-Accounts in accordance with SEC prescribed calculations. Performance information is annualized. However, if a Sub-Account has been available in the Variable Account for less than one year, the performance information for that Sub-Account is not annualized. Performance information is based on historical earnings and is not intended to predict or project future results.

Additional Materials

Nationwide may provide information on various topics to owners and prospective purchasers in advertising, sales literature, or other materials.

Tax Definition of Life Insurance

Section 7702(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code provides that if one of two alternate tests is met, a policy will be treated as life insurance for federal tax purposes. The two tests are referred to as the Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test and the Cash Value Accumulation Test. Both tests are available to flexible premium policies such as this one.

The tables that follow show, numerically, the requirements for each test.

Cash Value Accumulation Test

The Cash Value Accumulation Test also requires the Death Benefit to exceed an applicable percentage of the Cash Value. These applicable percentages are calculated by determining net single premiums, as defined in Code Section 7702(b), for each policy year given a set of actuarial assumptions. The relevant material assumptions include an interest rate of 4% and 1980 CSO guaranteed mortality as prescribed in Revenue Code Section 7702 for the Cash Value Accumulation Test. The resulting net single premiums are then inverted (i.e., multiplied by 1/net single premium) to give the applicable cash value percentages. These premiums vary with the ages, sexes, and risk classifications of the Insureds.

The table below provides an example of applicable percentages for the Cash Value Accumulation Test. This example is for a male non-tobacco preferred issue age 55.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors of Nationwide Life Insurance Company and subsidiaries and

Contract Owners of Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets, liabilities and contract owners’ equity of Nationwide VLI Separate Account-2 (comprised of the sub-accounts listed in note 1(b), (collectively, “the Accounts”)), as of December 31, 2016, and the related statements of operations for the period then ended, the statements of changes in contract owners’ equity for each of the periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Accounts’ 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the transfer agents of the underlying mutual funds or by other appropriate auditing procedures. An audit also includes 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, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Accounts as of December 31, 2016, the results of their operations for the period then ended, the changes in contract owners’ equity for each of the periods in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

* At December 31, 2016, contract owners were not invested in this fund.

The contract owners’ equity is affected by the investment results of each fund, equity transactions by contract owners and certain policy and asset charges (see notes 2 and 3). The accompanying financial statements include only contract owners’ purchase payments pertaining to the variable portions of their contracts and exclude any purchase payments for fixed dollar benefits, the latter being included in the accounts of the Company.

A contract owner may choose from among a number of different underlying mutual fund options. The underlying mutual fund options are not available to the general public directly. The underlying mutual 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 underlying mutual funds have been established by investment advisers which manage publicly traded mutual funds having similar names and investment objectives. While some of the underlying mutual funds may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after, publicly traded mutual funds, the underlying mutual funds are not otherwise directly related to any publicly traded mutual fund. Consequently, the investment performance of publicly traded mutual funds and any corresponding underlying mutual funds may differ substantially.

A purchase payment could be presented as a negative equity transaction in the Statements of Changes in Contract Owners’ Equity if a prior period purchase payment is refunded to a contract owner due to a contract cancellation during the free look period, and/or if a gain is realized by the contract owner during the free look period.

The Company allocates purchase payments to sub-accounts and/or the fixed account as instructed by the contract owner. Shares of the sub-accounts are purchased at Net Asset Value, then converted into accumulation units. Certain transactions may be subject to conditions imposed by the underlying mutual funds, as well as those set forth in the contract.

(c) Security Valuation, Transactions and Related Investment Income

Investments in underlying mutual funds are valued at the closing Net Asset Value per share at December 31, 2016 of such funds. The cost of investments sold is determined on a first in - first out basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed), and dividends and capital gain distributions are accrued as of the ex-dividend date and are reinvested in the underlying mutual funds.

(d) Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, operations of the Company, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company does not provide for income taxes within the Account. Taxes are generally the responsibility of the contract owner upon termination or withdrawal.

(e) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles may require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(f) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

There are no recently issued accounting standards applicable to the Account.

(g) Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and no subsequent events have occurred requiring accrual or disclosure.

(h) Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations

On October 13, 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission amended Regulation S-X, which will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact to the financial statements and disclosures.

(2) Policy Charges

(a) Deductions from Premium

For single premium and modified single premium contracts, no deduction is made from any premium at the time of payment. On multiple payment and flexible premium contracts, the Company deducts a premium load charge that will not exceed 6%. The 6% is comprised of a charge for premium taxes that ranges from 2.50% to 3.50% of each premium payment and a charge for the sales load that ranges from 2.50% to 3.50% of each premium payment. For flexible premium contracts, the sales load is reduced to 0.50% on any portion of the annual premium paid in excess of the annual break point premium. On last survivor flexible premium contracts, the Company deducts a charge for state premium taxes equal to 3.50% of all premiums received to cover the payment of these premium taxes. The Company also deducts a sales load from each premium payment received not to exceed 5.00% of each premium payment during the first ten years and 1.50% of each premium payment ten years and 1.50% of each premium payment thereafter.

For policies issued in New York, the Company deducts a sales load from each premium payment received not to exceed 9.50% of each premium payment during the first ten years and 6.00% of each premium payment thereafter. The Company may at its sole discretion reduce this sales loading. For the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, total front-end sales charge deductions were -$1,318,877 and -$1,389,661, respectively and were recognized as a reduction of purchase payments on the Statements of Changes in Contract Owners’ Equity.

(b) Cost of Insurance

A cost of insurance charge is assessed monthly against each contract by liquidating units. The amount of the charge varies widely and is based upon age, sex, rate class and net amount at risk (death benefit less total contract value).

For last survivor flexible premium contracts, the monthly cost of insurance is determined in a manner that reflects the anticipated mortality of the tow insureds and the fact the death benefit is not payable until the death of the second insured contract owner.

(c) Administrative Charges

An administrative charge is assessed against each contract to recover policy maintenance, accounting, record keeping and other administrative expenses and is assessed against each contract by liquidating units.

For single premium contracts, the Company deducts an annual administrative charge which is determined as follows:

Contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990:

Purchase payments totaling less than $25,000 - $10/month

Purchase payments totaling $25,000 or more - none

Contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990:

Purchase payments totaling less than $25,000 - $90/year ($65/year in New York)

Purchase payments totaling $25,000 or more - $50/year

For multiple payment contracts, the Company currently deducts a monthly administrative charge of $5.00 (not to exceed $7.50 per month). For flexible premium contracts, the Company currently deducts a monthly administrative charge of $12.50 during the first policy year. For all subsequent years, a monthly administrative charge is deducted (currently $5.00 per month not to exceed $7.50). Additionally, the Company deducts an increase charge when the policy’s specified amount is increased. The charge is equal $2.04 per year per $1,000 of the specified amount increase.

For modified single premium contracts, the Company deducts a monthly administrative charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.30% multiplied by the policy’s cash value to cover administrative, premium tax and deferred acquisition costs. For policy years 11 and later, this monthly charge is reduced to an annualized rate of 0.15% of the policy’s cash value. The monthly charge is subject to a $10.00 minimum.

For last survivor flexible premium contracts, the Company deducts a monthly administrative charge equal to the sum of the per policy charge and the per $1,000.00 basic coverage charge. For policy years one through ten, the per policy charge is $10.00. Additionally, there is a $0.04 per $1,000.00 basic coverage charge (not less than $20.00 or more than $80.00 per policy per year). For policy years eleven and after, the per policy charge is $5.00. Additionally, there is a $0.02 per $1,000 basic coverage charge (not less than $10.00 or more than $40.00 per policy per year). For policies issued in New York, the per policy charge is guaranteed not to exceed $7.50 per month in all years and there is a $0.04 per $1,000.00 basic coverage charge in policy year one only.

(d) Surrender Charges

Policy surrenders result in a withdrawal of contract value from the Account and payment of the surrender proceeds to the policy owner or designee. The surrender proceeds consist of the contract value, less any outstanding policy loans, and less a surrender charge, if applicable. The charge is determined according to contract type.

For single premium contracts, the charge is a percentage of the original purchase payment. For single premium contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990, the charge is 8.00% in the first year and declines a specified amount each year. After the ninth year, the charge is 0.00%. For single premium contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990, the charge is 8.50% in the first year, and declines a specified amount each year. After the ninth year, the charge is 0.00%. However, if a policy’s specified amount increases, the amount of the increase will have a nine-year surrender charge period.

For multiple payment contracts, last survivor flexible premium contract and flexible premium contracts, the amount charged is based upon a specified percentage of the initial specified amount and varies by issue age, sex and rate class. The charge is reduced at certain time intervals, and declines a specified amount each year. After the eighth year for flexible premium contracts, after the ninth year for multiple payment contracts and after the tenth year for last survivor contracts, the charge is 0.00%. However, if a policy’s specified amount increases, the amount of the increase will have the same nine-year surrender charge period.

For modified single premium contracts, the amount charged is based on a percentage of the original premium payment. The charge is 10.00% of the initial premium payment and declines a specified amount each year to 0.00% after the end of the ninth year.

The Company may waive the surrender charge for certain contracts in which the sales expenses normally associated with the distribution of a contract are not incurred.

The charges above are assessed against each contract by liquidating units.

(3) Asset Charges

The Company deducts a charge related to the assumption of mortality and expense risk.

For modified single premium contracts, the Company deducts a charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.90%. For flexible premium contracts, the Company deducts a charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.80% in policy years one through nine. After the ninth year, the annualized rate is 0.80% on the first $25,000 of cash value and 0.50% on additional cash value. For last survivor flexible premium contracts, the Company deducts a charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.80% in policy years one through ten. In policy years eleven and after, the charge will continue to be deducted, but may be reduced for policies at specified asset levels. For last survivor flexible premium contracts issued in New York, the Company deducts a charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.80% in policy years one through ten and 0.50% thereafter, regardless of cash value. This charge is assessed monthly by liquidating units.

For single premium contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990, the Company deducts a charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.95% during the first ten policy years, and 0.50% thereafter. For single premium contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990, the charge is equal to an annualized rate of 1.30% during the first ten policy years, and 1.00% thereafter. For multiple payment contracts, the Company deducts a charge equal to an annualized rate of 0.80%. For flexible premium and Variable Executive Life contracts, the charge is equal to an annualized rate of 0.80% during the first ten policy years, and 0.50% thereafter. This charge is assessed through a reduction in the unit value.

The following table provides mortality and expense risk charges by contract type for those charges that are assessed through a reduction in the unit value for the period ended December 31, 2016:

(4) Death Benefits

Death benefit proceeds result in a redemption of the contract value from the Account and payment of those proceeds, less any outstanding policy loans (and policy charges), to the legal beneficiary. For last survivor flexible premium contracts, the proceeds are payable on the death of the last surviving insured. In the event that the guaranteed death benefit exceeds the contract value on the date of death, the excess is paid by the Company’s general account.

(5) Policy Loans (Net of Repayments)

Contract provisions allow contract owners to borrow up to 90.00% (50% during first year of single and modified single premium contracts) of a policy’s cash surrender value. For single premium contracts issued prior to April 16, 1990, 6.50% interest is due and payable annually in advance of the policy anniversary date. For single premium contracts issued on or after April 16, 1990, multiple payment, flexible premium, modified single and last survivor flexible premium contracts, 6.00% interest is due and payable in advance on the policy anniversary when there is a loan outstanding on the policy.

At the time the loan is granted, the amount of the loan is transferred from the Account to the Company’s general account as collateral for the outstanding loan. Collateral amounts in the general account are credited with the stated rate of interest in effect at the time the loan is made, subject to a guaranteed minimum rate. Loan repayments result in a transfer of collateral including interest credited back to the Account.

(6) Related Party Transactions

The Company performs various services on behalf of the mutual fund companies in which the Account invests and may receive fees for the services performed. These services include, among other things, shareholder communications, postage, fund transfer agency and various other record keeping and customer service functions. These fees are paid to an affiliate of the Company.

Contract owners may, with certain restrictions, transfer their assets between the Account and a fixed dollar contract (fixed account) maintained in the accounts of the Company. These transfers are the result of the contract owner executing fund exchanges. Fund exchanges from the Account to the fixed account are included in surrenders, and fund exchanges from the fixed account to the Account are included in purchase payments received from contract owners, as applicable, on the accompanying Statements of Changes in Contract Owners’ Equity. Policy loan transactions (note 5), executed at the direction of the contract owner, also result in transfers between the Account and the fixed account of the Company, but are included in Net Policy (Loans) Repayments. The fixed account assets are not reflected in the accompanying financial statements. For the periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, total transfers to the Account from the fixed account were $22,324,321 and $24,014,557, respectively, and total transfers from the Account to the fixed account were $28,868,044 and $18,645,557, respectively.

(7) Fair Value Measurement

FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the Account generally uses the market approach as the valuation technique due to the nature of the mutual fund investments offered in the Account. This technique maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Account categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the 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). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument in its entirety.

The Account categorizes financial assets recorded at fair value as follows:

• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices accessible in active markets and mutual funds where the value per share (unit) is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

• Level 2 – Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable or that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

• Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimate about the assumptions market participants would use at the measurement date in pricing the asset or liability. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in both the method of valuation and the valuation inputs.

The Account recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no transfers between Level 1 and 2 as of December 31, 2016.

The following table summarizes assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2016:

* This represents the range of annual contract expense rates of the variable account at the period end indicated and includes only those expenses that are charged through a reduction in the unit values. Excluded are expenses of the underlying mutual funds and charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units.

** This represents the ratio of dividends for the period indicated, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by monthly average net assets (excluding months where net assets are zero). The investment income ratio for subaccounts initially funded during the period presented has not been annualized. The ratios exclude those expenses that result in direct reductions to the contract owner accounts through reductions in unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccounts invest.

*** This represents the range of minimum and maximum total returns for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying mutual fund, which reflects the reduction of unit values for expenses assessed. The total returns do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total return is not annualized if the underlying mutual fund option is initially offered, funded, or both, during the period presented. Minimum and maximum ranges are not shown for underlying mutual fund options for which a single contract expense rate (product option) exists. In such cases, the total return presented is representative of all units issued and outstanding at period end.

**** Subaccounts denoted indicate the underlying mutual fund option was initially added and funded during the period presented. Prior period presentation, which indicated the date the underlying mutual fund was initially added and funded, has been updated to conform with current period presentation.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

(1) Nature of Operations

Nationwide Life Insurance Company (“NLIC,” or collectively with its subsidiaries, “the Company”) was incorporated in 1929 and is an Ohio domiciled stock life insurance company. The Company is a member of the Nationwide group of companies (“Nationwide”), which is comprised of Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (“NMIC”) and all of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

All of the outstanding shares of NLIC’s common stock are owned by Nationwide Financial Services, Inc. (“NFS”), a holding company formed by Nationwide Corporation (“Nationwide Corp.”), a majority-owned subsidiary of NMIC.

The Company is a leading provider of long-term savings and retirement products in the United States of America (“U.S.”). The Company develops and sells a wide range of products and services, which include fixed and variable individual annuities, private and public sector group retirement plans, life insurance, investment advisory services and other investment products.

The Company sells its products through a diverse distribution network. Unaffiliated entities that sell the Company’s products to their own customer bases include independent broker-dealers, financial institutions, wirehouse and regional firms, pension plan administrators and life insurance specialists. Representatives of affiliates who market products directly to a customer base include Nationwide Retirement Solutions, Inc. (“NRS”) and Nationwide Financial Network (“NFN”) producers, which includes the agency distribution force of the Company’s ultimate parent company, NMIC.

Wholly-owned subsidiaries of NLIC as of December 31, 2016 include Nationwide Life and Annuity Insurance Company (“NLAIC”), Nationwide Investment Services Corporation (“NISC”), Nationwide Investment Advisor (“NIA”) and Eagle Captive Reinsurance, LLC (“Eagle”). NLAIC primarily offers universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, term life insurance, corporate-owned life insurance (“COLI”) and individual annuity contracts on a non-participating basis. NISC is a registered broker-dealer. NIA is a registered investment advisor.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not have a significant concentration of financial instruments in a single investee, industry or geographic region. Also, the Company did not have a concentration of business transactions with a particular customer, lender, distribution source, market or geographic region in which a single event could cause a severe impact on the Company’s financial position after considering insurance risk that has been transferred to external reinsurers.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NLIC and companies in which NLIC directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest. The consolidated financial statements include wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (“VIEs”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant estimates include the balance and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), legal and regulatory reserves, certain investment and derivative valuations, future policy benefits and claims, goodwill, provision for income taxes and valuation of deferred tax assets. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

Revenues and Benefits

Investment and universal life insurance products. Investment products are long-duration contracts that do not subject the Company to significant risk arising from mortality (the incidence of death) or morbidity (the incidence of disability resulting from disease or physical impairment). These include variable and fixed deferred annuity contracts in the accumulation phase with individuals and groups, as well as certain annuities without life contingencies. Universal life insurance products include long-duration insurance contracts that do not have fixed or guaranteed terms. These include universal life insurance, variable universal life insurance, COLI, bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) and other interest-sensitive life insurance policies. Revenues for investment products and universal life insurance products consist of net investment income, surrender charges and other policy charges earned and assessed against policy account balances during the period. Policy charges are assessed on a daily or monthly basis and are recognized as revenue when assessed and earned. Assessments for services provided in future periods are recorded as unearned revenue and recognized as revenue over the periods benefited. Surrender charges are recognized as revenue upon surrender of a contract in accordance with contractual terms.

Traditional life insurance products. Traditional life insurance products include those products with fixed and guaranteed terms, primarily consisting of whole life insurance, term life insurance and certain annuities with life contingencies. Premiums for traditional life insurance products are generally recognized as revenue when due. For certain annuities with life contingencies, any excess of gross premium over the net premium is deferred and recognized with the amount of expected future benefits. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums so that profits are recognized over the life of the contract. This association is accomplished through the provision for future policy benefits and the deferral and amortization of policy acquisition costs.

Future Policy Benefits and Claims

Investment and universal life insurance products. The Company calculates its liability for future policy benefits and claims for investment products in the accumulation phase and for universal life insurance policies at the policy accrued account balance, which represents participants’ net deposits adjusted for investment performance, interest credited and applicable contract charges. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include interest credited to policyholder accounts and benefits and claims incurred in the period in excess of related policyholder accounts.

The Company offers guarantees on variable and fixed indexed annuity products, which can include a return of no less than the total deposits made on the contract less any customer withdrawals, total deposits made on the contract less any customer withdrawals plus a minimum return, or the highest contract value on a specified anniversary date minus any customer withdrawals following the contract anniversary. These guarantees can also include benefits payable in the event of death, upon annuitization, upon periodic withdrawal or at specified dates during the accumulation period.

As part of its valuation procedures, the Company makes an assumption of the expected utilization of guarantee benefits by participants. Guarantees that include a benefit that is wholly life contingent or is expected to be exercised upon annuitization are accounted for as insurance liabilities that accumulate over time. Guarantees that are expected to be exercised using a net settlement option are accounted for as embedded derivatives, which are required to be separated and valued apart from the host variable annuity contracts.

Guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”) and certain guaranteed living withdrawal benefits (“GLWB”) on variable annuity and fixed annuity products, as well as no-lapse guarantees on universal life and variable universal life insurance products are accounted for as insurance liabilities. Liabilities for these guarantees are calculated by multiplying the current benefit ratio by the cumulative assessments recorded from contract inception through the balance sheet date, less the cumulative guaranteed benefit payments plus interest. The Company evaluates its experience and assumptions and adjusts the benefit ratio as appropriate. If experience or assumption changes result in a new benefit ratio, the reserves are adjusted to reflect the changes, with a related charge or credit to benefits and claims in the period of evaluation. Determination of the expected benefit payments and assessments are based on a range of scenarios and assumptions, including those related to market rates of return and volatility, contract surrenders and mortality experience. The accounting for these guarantees impacts estimated gross profits used to calculate the balance and amortization of DAC and other expenses.

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

Certain GLWB that are expected to net settle on variable annuity products represent embedded derivatives which are held at fair value and include the present value of attributed fees. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recognized in earnings as a component of net realized investment gains and losses. The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated based on a combination of capital market and actuarial assumptions. Projections of cash flows inherent in the valuation of the embedded derivatives incorporate numerous, unobservable assumptions including, but not limited to, mortality, lapse rates, index volatility, benefit utilization and discounting. Benefit utilization includes a wait period (the number of years the policyholder is assumed to wait prior to beginning withdrawals once eligible) and efficiency of benefit utilization (the percent of the maximum permitted withdrawal that a policyholder takes). Discounting includes liquidity and non-performance risk (the risk that the liability will not be fulfilled) and affects the value at which the liability is transferred. The Company derives these inputs, which vary widely by product, attained age, policy duration, benefits in the money and the existence of surrender charges, from experience and industry data.

The Company offers certain indexed life insurance and annuity products for which the policyholders’ interest credits are based on market performance with caps and floors. The interest credits represent embedded derivatives within the insurance contract and therefore are required to be separated and valued apart from the host contracts. The embedded derivatives are held at fair value. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recognized in earnings as a component of interest credited. The fair value of the embedded derivatives is calculated based on a combination of capital market and actuarial assumptions. Projections of cash flows inherent in the valuation of the embedded derivatives incorporate numerous assumptions including, but not limited to, mortality, lapse rates and index volatility.

The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of embedded derivatives are reviewed as part of an annual comprehensive study of assumptions. Quarterly, consideration is given as to whether adjustments to these assumptions are necessary.

Traditional life and other insurance products. The process of calculating reserve amounts for traditional life insurance products involves the use of a number of assumptions, including those related to persistency (the percentage of insurance policies remaining in-force from year to year), mortality, morbidity, interest rates and certain other expenses.

The liability for future policy benefits and claims for traditional life insurance policies was determined using the net level premium method, with weighted average interest rates of 6.6% and estimates of mortality, morbidity, investment yields and persistency that were used or being experienced at the time the policies were issued, with a provision for adverse deviation.

The liability for future policy benefits for certain annuities with life contingencies was calculated using the present value of future benefits and certain expenses, discounted using weighted average interest rates of 4.6% with a provision for adverse deviation.

The Company issues fixed and floating rate funding agreements to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati (“FHLB”). The liability for such funding agreements is recorded in future policy benefits and claims. The amount of collateralized funding agreements outstanding with the FHLB as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 was $2.3 billion. In connection with an FHLB requirement for funding agreements, the Company held $47 million and $46 million of FHLB stock as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company offers certain short duration traditional insurance, consisting primarily of accident and health contracts. These short duration insurance contracts are subject to an internal modified coinsurance treaty where activity including premiums, investment income, losses paid and adjustments to reserves, dividends paid and expenses incurred are ceded from NLIC to NMIC. The Company’s reserve for short duration contracts was $72 million and $78 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Reinsurance Ceded

The Company cedes insurance to other companies in order to limit potential losses and to diversify its exposures. Such agreements do not relieve the original insurer from its primary obligation to the policyholder in the event the reinsurer is unable to meet the obligations it has assumed. Reinsurance premiums ceded and reinsurance recoveries on benefits and claims incurred are deducted from the respective income and expense accounts. Assets and liabilities related to reinsurance ceded are reported in the consolidated balance sheets on a gross basis, separately from the related future policy benefits and claims of the Company.

Under the terms of contracts held with certain unaffiliated reinsurers, specified assets have been placed in trusts as collateral for the recoveries. The trust assets are invested in investment grade securities, the fair value of which must at all times be greater than or equal to 100% of the reinsured reserves, as outlined in the underlying reinsurance contracts.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

The Company has deferred certain acquisition costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal insurance and investment contracts. The methods and assumptions used to amortize and assess recoverability of the DAC balance depend on the type of product.

Investment and universal life insurance products. For certain investment and universal life insurance products, DAC is amortized with interest over the lives of the policies in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits, which is determined primarily from projected interest margins, policy charges and net realized investment gains and losses, less policy benefits and other expenses. The DAC asset related to investment and universal life insurance products is adjusted to reflect the impact of unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, with the corresponding adjustment recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). This adjustment to DAC represents the change in amortization that would have been required as a charge or credit to earnings had such unrealized amounts been realized. DAC for investment and universal life insurance products is subject to recoverability testing in the year of policy issuance, and DAC for universal life insurance products is also subject to loss recognition testing at the end of each reporting period.

The assumptions used in the estimation of gross profits are based on the Company’s current best estimates of future events and are reviewed as part of an annual comprehensive study of assumptions. The most significant assumptions that are involved in the estimation of future gross profits include future net general and separate account investment performance, surrender/lapse rates, interest margins, renewal premiums and mortality. Quarterly, consideration is given as to whether adjustments to these assumptions are necessary. The Company uses a reversion to the mean process to determine the assumption for the future net separate account investment performance. This process assumes different performance levels over the next three years, such that the separate account mean return, measured from the anchor date to the end of the life of the product, equals the long-term assumption. The Company’s long-term assumptions for net separate account investment performance consist of assumed gross returns of 10.5% for equity funds and 5.0% for fixed funds.

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on the amount of DAC reported for investment and universal life insurance products and on their related amortization patterns. In the event actual experience differs from assumptions or future assumptions are revised, the Company will record an increase or decrease in DAC amortization expense, which could be significant.

Traditional life insurance products. DAC is amortized with interest over the premium-paying period of the related policies in proportion to premium revenue recognized. These assumptions are consistent with those used in the calculation of liabilities for future policy benefits at issuance. DAC is evaluated for recoverability in the year of policy issuance, and loss recognition testing is conducted each reporting period.

Refer to Note 5 for discussion regarding DAC amortization and related balances.

Investments

Available-for-sale securities. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of other comprehensive income, net of adjustments for DAC, future policy benefits and claims, policyholder dividend obligations and deferred federal income taxes. Realized gains and losses on sales of available-for-sale securities are recognized in income based on the specific identification method. Interest and dividend income is recognized when earned.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, 99% of fixed maturity securities were priced using externally sourced data. Independent pricing services are most often utilized (86% as of December 31, 2016 and 2015) to determine the fair value of securities for which market quotations or quotations on comparable securities are available. For these securities, the Company obtains the pricing services’ methodologies, pricing from additional sources, and classifies the investments accordingly in the fair value hierarchy.

A corporate pricing matrix is used in valuing certain corporate debt securities. The corporate pricing matrix was developed using publicly and privately available spreads for privately placed corporate securities with varying weighted average lives and credit quality ratings. The weighted average life and credit quality rating of a particular fixed maturity security to be priced using the corporate pricing matrix are important inputs into the model and are used to determine a corresponding spread that is added to the appropriate U.S. Treasury yield to create an estimated market yield for that security. The estimated market yield and other relevant factors are then used to estimate the fair value of the particular security.

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

Non-binding broker quotes are also utilized to determine the fair value of certain fixed maturity securities when deemed appropriate or when quotes are not available from independent pricing services or a corporate pricing matrix. These securities are classified with the lowest priority in the fair value hierarchy as only one broker quote is ordinarily obtained, the investment is not traded on an exchange, the pricing is not available to other entities and/or the transaction volume in the same or similar investments has decreased. Inputs used in the development of prices are not provided to the Company by the brokers, as the brokers often do not provide the necessary transparency into their quotes and methodologies. At least annually, the Company performs reviews and tests to ensure that quotes are a reasonable estimate of the investments’ fair value. Price movements of broker quotes are subject to validation and require approval from the Company’s management. Management uses its knowledge of the investment and current market conditions to determine if the price is indicative of the investment’s fair value.

When the collectability of contractual interest payments on fixed maturity securities is considered doubtful, such securities are placed in non-accrual status and any accrued interest is excluded from investment income. These securities are not restored to accrual status until the Company determines that future payment of principal and interest is probable.

The Company has entered into securities lending agreements with a custodial bank whereby eligible securities are loaned to third parties, primarily major brokerage firms. These transactions are used to generate additional income in the securities portfolio. The Company is entitled to receive from the borrower any payments of interest and dividends received on loaned securities during the loan term. The agreements require a minimum of 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities to be held as collateral. Cash collateral is invested by the custodial bank in investment-grade securities, which are included in the total investments of the Company. Additionally, the Company may receive non-cash collateral, which would be recorded off-balance sheet. As of December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the fair value of the securities received as collateral and recorded off balance sheet is $331 million and $167 million, respectively. The Company recognizes loaned securities in available-for-sale investments. A securities lending payable is recorded in other liabilities for the amount of cash collateral received. Net income received from securities lending activities is included in net investment income. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the fair value of loaned securities was $541 million and $389 million, respectively.

For investments in certain residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, the Company recognizes income and amortizes discounts and premiums using the effective-yield method, based on prepayment assumptions and the estimated economic life of the securities. When actual prepayments differ significantly from estimated prepayments, the effective-yield is recalculated to reflect actual payments to date and anticipated future payments. Any resulting adjustment is included in net investment income in the period the estimates are revised. All other investment income is recorded using the effective-yield method without anticipating the impact of prepayments.

The Company periodically reviews its available-for-sale securities to determine if any decline in fair value to below amortized cost is other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a decline is other-than-temporary include the length of time a security has been in an unrealized loss position, the severity of the unrealized loss, reasons for the decline in value and expectations for the amount and timing of a recovery in fair value.

In assessing corporate debt securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”), the Company evaluates the ability of the issuer to meet its debt obligations, the value of the company or specific collateral securing the debt, the Company’s intent to sell the security and whether it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell the security before the recovery of its amortized cost basis. The Company evaluates U.S. government and agencies and obligations of states and political subdivisions securities for OTTI by examining similar characteristics.

Mortgage-backed securities are assessed for impairment using default estimates based on loan level data, where available. Where loan level data is not available, a proxy based on collateral characteristics is used. The impairment assessment considers loss severity as a function of multiple factors, including unpaid balance, interest rate, mortgage insurance ratios, assessed property value at origination, change in property value, loan-to-value (“LTV”) ratio at origination and prepayment speeds. Cash flows generated by the collateral are then utilized, along with consideration of the instrument’s position in the overall structure, to determine cash flows associated with the security.

Certain asset-backed securities are assessed for impairment using expected cash flows based on various inputs, including default estimates based on the underlying corporate securities, historical and forecasted loss severities or other market inputs when recovery estimates are not feasible. When the collateral is regional bank and insurance company trust preferred securities, default estimates used to estimate cash flows are based on U.S. Bank Rating service data and broker research.

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company evaluates its intent to sell on an individual security basis. OTTI losses on securities when the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not it will be required to sell the security prior to recovery of the security’s amortized cost basis are bifurcated, with the credit related portion of the impairment loss being recognized in earnings and the non-credit related portion of the impairment loss and any subsequent changes in the fair value of those debt securities being recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes and other offsets. To estimate the credit related portion of an impairment loss recognized in earnings, the Company considers the present value of the cash flows. To the extent that the present value of cash flows generated by a debt security is less than the amortized cost, an OTTI is recognized through earnings.

It is possible that further declines in fair values of such investments, or changes in assumptions or estimates of anticipated recoveries and/or cash flows, may cause further OTTI, which could be significant.

The Company invests in fixed maturity securities that could qualify as VIEs, including corporate securities, mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities. The Company is not the primary beneficiary of these securities as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ performance. The Company’s potential loss is limited to the carrying values of these securities. There are no liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other commitments by third parties that affect the fair value of the Company’s interest in these assets.

Mortgage loans, net of allowance. The Company holds commercial mortgage loans that are collateralized by properties throughout the U.S. These mortgage loans are further segregated into the following classes based on the unique risk profiles of the underlying property types: office, industrial, retail, apartment and other. Mortgage loans held-for-investment are held at amortized cost less a valuation allowance.

As part of the underwriting process, specific guidelines are followed to ensure the initial quality of a new mortgage loan. Third-party appraisals are obtained to support loaned amounts, as the loans are usually collateral dependent.

The collectability and value of a mortgage loan are based on the ability of the borrower to repay and/or the value of the underlying collateral. The Company’s commercial mortgage loans are typically structured with balloon payment maturities, exposing the Company to risks associated with the borrowers’ ability to make the balloon payment or refinance the property.

Mortgage loans require a loan-specific reserve when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. When management determines that a loan requires a loan-specific reserve, a provision for loss is established equal to the difference between the carrying value and either the fair value of the collateral less costs to sell or the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s market interest rate. Loan-specific reserve charges are recorded in net realized investment gains and losses. In the event a loan-specific reserve charge is reversed, the recovery is also recorded in net realized investment gains and losses.

In addition to the loan-specific reserves, the Company maintains a non-specific reserve based primarily on loan surveillance categories and property type classes, which reflects management’s best estimates of probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio of loans without specific reserves as of the balance sheet date. Management’s periodic evaluation of the adequacy of the non-specific reserve is based on past loan loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect a borrower’s ability to repay, the estimated value of the underlying collateral, the composition of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions and other relevant factors. Non-specific reserve changes are recorded in net realized investment gains and losses.

Management evaluates the credit quality of individual commercial mortgage loans and the portfolio as a whole through a number of loan quality measurements, including but not limited to LTV and debt service coverage (“DSC”) ratios. The LTV ratio is calculated as a ratio of the amortized cost of a loan to the estimated value of the underlying collateral. DSC is the amount of cash flow generated by the underlying collateral of the mortgage loan available to meet periodic interest and principal payments of the loan. This process identifies commercial mortgage loans representing the lowest risk profile and lowest potential for loss and those representing the highest risk profile and highest potential for loss. These factors are updated and evaluated at least annually.

Interest income on performing mortgage loans is recognized over the life of the loan using the effective-yield method. Loans in default or in the process of foreclosure are placed on non-accrual status. Interest received on non-accrual status mortgage loans is included in net investment income in the period received. Loans are restored to accrual status when the principal and interest is current and it is determined the future principal and interest payments are probable or when the loan is modified. Loans are considered delinquent when contractual payments are 90 days past due.

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

Policy loans. Policy loans, which are collateralized by the related insurance policy, are held at the outstanding principal balance and do not exceed the net cash surrender value of the policy. As such, no valuation allowance for policy loans is required.

Short-term investments. Short-term investments consist primarily of highly liquid mutual funds and government agency discount notes with maturities of twelve months or less at acquisition. The Company and various affiliates maintain agreements with Nationwide Cash Management Company (“NCMC”), an affiliate, under which NCMC acts as a common agent in handling the purchase and sale of short-term securities for the respective accounts of the participants. Amounts on deposit with NCMC for the benefit of the Company are included in short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company carries short-term investments at fair value.

Other investments. Other investments consist primarily of alternative investments in private equity funds, private debt funds, tax credit funds and real estate partnerships and funds accounted for under the equity method, as well as trading securities, equity securities and capital stock with the FHLB. The Company applies mark-to-market accounting to trading securities and recognizes changes in fair value in net realized investment gains and losses.

The Company holds alternative investments as described above and applies the equity method of accounting to these investments as it does not have a controlling financial interest. The Company recognizes the change in equity method investments in net investment income. The Company’s unfunded commitments related to these investments were $495 million and $315 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The carrying value of these investments was $362 million and $199 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company has sold $1.5 billion and $1.4 billion in tax credit funds to unrelated third parties as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company has guaranteed after-tax benefits to the third party investors through periods ending in 2032. These guarantees are in effect for periods of approximately 15 years each. The tax credit funds provide a stream of tax benefits to the investors that will generate a yield and return of capital. If the tax benefits are not sufficient to provide these cumulative after-tax yields, the Company must fund any shortfall. The maximum amount of undiscounted future payments that the Company could be required to pay the investors under the terms of the guarantees is $836 million, but the Company does not anticipate making any material payments related to the guarantees. The Company’s risks are mitigated in the following ways: (1) the Company has the right to buyout the equity related to the guarantee under certain circumstances, (2) the Company may replace underperforming properties to mitigate exposure to guarantee payments and (3) the Company oversees the asset management of the deals.

In the normal course of business, the Company has relationships with VIEs. If the Company determines that it has a variable interest and is the primary beneficiary, it consolidates the VIE. The Company is the primary beneficiary if the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the entity that could be potentially significant to the VIE. This determination is based on a review of the entity’s contract and other deal-related information, such as the entity’s equity investment at risk, decision-making abilities, obligations to absorb economic risks and right to receive economic rewards of the entity. These consolidated VIEs are primarily made up of the tax credit funds discussed above.

Net assets (controlling and noncontrolling interests) of all consolidated VIEs totaled $667 million and $644 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and are included within the consolidated balance sheet primarily as other investments of $614 million, other assets of $77 million and other liabilities of $67 million as of December 31, 2016, and other investments of $585 million, other assets of $113 million and other liabilities of $67 million as of December 31, 2015. The Company’s general credit is not exposed to the creditors or beneficial interest holders of these consolidated VIEs. The results of operations and financial positions of each VIE for which the Company is the primary beneficiary, as well as the corresponding noncontrolling interests, are recorded in the consolidated financial statements. Ownership interests held by unrelated third parties in the consolidated VIEs are presented as noncontrolling interests in the equity section of the consolidated financial statements. Losses attributable to noncontrolling interests are excluded from the net income attributable to the Company on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is not required and does not intend to provide financial or other support outside of contractual requirements to any VIE.

Derivative Instruments

The Company uses derivative instruments to manage exposures and mitigate risks primarily associated with interest rates, equity markets and foreign currency. These derivative instruments primarily include interest rate swaps, futures contracts and options. Certain features embedded in the Company’s indexed products and certain variable annuity contracts require derivative accounting. All derivative instruments are held at fair value and are reflected as other assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

The fair value of derivative instruments is determined using various valuation techniques relying predominantly on observable market inputs. These inputs include interest rate swap curves, credit spreads, interest rates, counterparty credit risk, equity volatility and equity index levels. In cases where observable inputs are not available, the Company will utilize non-binding broker quotes to determine fair value, and these instruments are classified accordingly in the fair value hierarchy. Price movements of these broker quotes are subject to validation and require approval from the Company’s management. Management uses models to internally value the instruments for comparison to the values received through broker quotes.

For derivatives that are not designated for hedge accounting, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in net realized investment gains and losses.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods that the hedged transaction impacts earnings. The ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in value, if any, along with any of the derivative’s change in value that is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recorded in net realized investment gains and losses.

The Company’s derivative transaction counterparties are generally financial institutions. To reduce the credit risk associated with open contracts, the Company enters into master netting agreements, which permit the closeout and netting of transactions with the same counterparty upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, the Company attempts to reduce credit risk by obtaining collateral from counterparties. The determination of the need for and the levels of collateral vary based on an assessment of the credit risk of the counterparty. The Company accepts collateral in the forms of cash and marketable securities. Non-cash collateral received is recorded off-balance sheet.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s view of market assumptions in the absence of observable market information. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. In determining fair value, the Company uses various methods, including market, income and cost approaches.

The Company categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the 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). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument in its entirety.

The Company categorizes assets and liabilities held at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices accessible in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date and mutual funds, where the value per share (unit) is determined and published daily and is the basis for current transactions.

Level 2. Unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable or that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means. Primary inputs to this valuation technique may include comparative trades, bid/asks, interest rate movements, U.S. Treasury rates, London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), prime rates, cash flows, maturity dates, call ability, estimated prepayments and/or underlying collateral values.

Level 3. Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. Inputs reflect management’s best estimates of the assumptions market participants would use at the measurement date in pricing the asset or liability. Consideration is given to the risk inherent in both the method of valuation and the valuation inputs.

The Company reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications for assets and liabilities quarterly. Changes in the observability of significant valuation inputs identified during these reviews may trigger reclassifications. Reclassifications are reported as transfers at the beginning of the period in which the change occurs.

Fair Value Option. The Company assesses the fair value option election for newly acquired assets or liabilities on a prospective basis. There are no material assets or liabilities for which the Company has elected the fair value option.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three months.

Goodwill

In connection with business acquisitions, the Company recognizes goodwill as the excess of the purchase price or fair value of consideration exchanged over the fair values of tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and separately identified intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level annually. Goodwill of a reporting unit is tested for impairment on an interim basis, in addition to the annual evaluation, if an event occurs or circumstances change which would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. If a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, the Company will calculate implied goodwill. Goodwill is impaired at the reporting unit level if its carrying value exceeds the implied value of its goodwill.

The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment requires several judgments and assumptions to be made to determine the fair value of the reporting units, including the method used to determine fair value, discount rates, expected levels of cash flows, revenues and earnings, and the selection of comparable companies used to develop market-based assumptions. The Company performed its 2016 annual impairment test and determined that no impairment was required. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no accumulated impairments.

Closed Block

In connection with the sponsored demutualization of Provident Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Provident”) prior to its acquisition by the Company, Provident established a closed block for the benefit of certain classes of individual participating policies that had a dividend scale payable in 2001. Assets were allocated to the closed block in an amount that produces cash flows which, together with anticipated revenues from closed block business, is reasonably expected to be sufficient to provide for (1) payment of policy benefits, specified expenses and taxes, and (2) the continuation of dividends throughout the life of the Provident policies included in the closed block based upon the dividend scales payable for 2001, if the experience underlying such dividend scales continues.

Assets allocated to the closed block benefit only the holders of the policies included in the closed block and will not revert to the benefit of the Company. No reallocation, transfer, borrowing or lending of assets can be made between the closed block and other portions of the Company’s general account, any of its separate accounts, or any affiliate of the Company without the approval of the Pennsylvania Insurance Department and ODI. The closed block will remain in effect as long as any policy in the closed block is in force.

If, over time, the aggregate performance of the closed block assets and policies is better than was assumed in funding the closed block, dividends to policyholders will increase. If, over time, the aggregate performance of the closed block assets and policies is less favorable than was assumed in the funding, dividends to policyholders could be reduced. If the closed block has insufficient funds to make guaranteed policy benefit payments, such payments will be made from the Company’s assets outside of the closed block, which are general account assets.

The assets and liabilities allocated to the closed block are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements on the same basis as other similar assets and liabilities. The carrying amount of closed block liabilities in excess of the carrying amount of closed block assets at the date Provident was acquired by the Company represents the maximum future earnings from the assets and liabilities designated to the closed block that can be recognized in income, for the benefit of stockholders, over the period the policies in the closed block remain in force.

If actual cumulative earnings exceed expected cumulative earnings, the expected earnings are recognized in income. This is because the excess actual cumulative earnings over expected cumulative earnings, which represents undistributed accumulated earnings attributable to policyholders, is recorded as a policyholder dividend obligation. Therefore, the excess will be paid to closed block policyholders as an additional policyholder dividend expense in the future unless it is otherwise offset by future performance of the closed block that is less favorable than originally expected. If actual cumulative performance is less favorable than expected, actual earnings will be recognized in income.

The principal cash flow items that affect the amount of closed block assets and liabilities are premiums, net investment income, purchases and sales of investments, policyholder benefits, policyholder dividends, premium taxes and income taxes. The principal income and expense items excluded from the closed block are management and maintenance expenses, commissions and net investment income and realized gains and losses on investments held outside of the closed block that support the closed block business, all of which enter into the determination of total gross margins of closed block policies. See Note 10 for further disclosure.

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities represent contractholders’ funds that have been legally segregated into accounts with specific investment objectives. In the separate account, investment income and gains and losses on investments accrue directly to, and investment risk is borne by, the contractholder. Separate account assets are recorded at fair value, with the value of separate account liabilities set to equal the fair value of separate account assets. Separate account assets are primarily comprised of public, privately-registered and non-registered mutual funds, whose fair value is primarily based on the funds’ net asset value. Other separate account assets are recorded at fair value based on the methodology that is applicable to the underlying assets.

Federal Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income or loss in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under this method, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce a deferred tax asset to the amount expected to be realized. Interest expense and any associated penalties which relate to tax years still subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) are recorded as income tax expenses.

The Company provides for federal income taxes based on amounts the Company believes it ultimately will owe. Inherent in the provision for federal income taxes are estimates regarding the deductibility of certain items and the realization of certain tax credits. In the event the ultimate deductibility of certain items or the realization of certain tax credits differs from estimates, the Company may be required to change the provision for federal income taxes recorded in the consolidated financial statements, which could be significant.

Tax reserves are reviewed regularly and are adjusted as events occur that the Company believes impact its liability for additional taxes, such as the lapsing of applicable statutes of limitations, conclusion of tax audits or substantial agreement with taxing authorities on the deductibility/nondeductibility of uncertain items, additional exposure based on current calculations, identification of new issues, release of administrative guidance or rendering of a court decision affecting a particular tax issue. The Company believes its tax reserves reasonably provide for potential assessments that may result from IRS examinations and other tax-related matters for all open tax years.

The Company files with the NMIC consolidated federal income tax return. Prior to 2015, NLIC filed a separate consolidated federal income tax return with its subsidiaries.

Participating Business

Participating business, which refers to policies that participate in profits through policyholder dividends, represented approximately 3% of the Company’s life insurance in force in 2016 and 2015 (4% in 2014) and 33% of the number of life insurance policies in force in 2016 (35% in 2015 and 37% in 2014). The provision for policyholder dividends was based on the respective year’s dividend scales and has been included in future policy benefits and claims in the consolidated balance sheets.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events through February 28, 2017, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

(3) Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-07, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amended guidance eliminates the requirement to categorize investments using net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value within the fair value hierarchy. The adoption of this guidance resulted in changes to disclosures only. Refer to Note 8 for the disclosure in accordance with the adopted guidance.

On January 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-09, which amends ASC 944, Financial Services-Insurance. The amended guidance requires additional disclosures for short duration insurance contracts. The adoption of this guidance had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 2 for discussion on short duration insurance contracts.

Pending Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amended guidance develops a single standard to recognize revenue when the identified performance obligation is satisfied. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year for all entities. The Company will adopt ASU 2014-09 for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Liabilities. The amended guidance primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, the FASB clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases Section A – Leases. The amended guidance introduces a new standard on leases that requires recognition of assets and liabilities arising from all leasing arrangements on the balance sheet. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2019. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging: Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships. The update clarifies that a change in the hedging derivative’s counterparty does not, in and of itself, trigger de-designation of a hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging: Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. The update clarifies that in assessing whether an embedded contingent put or call option is clearly and closely related to the debt host, an entity is required to perform only the four-step decision sequence as amended by the ASU. Consequently, the Company does not have to separately assess whether the event that triggers its ability to exercise the contingent option is itself indexed only to interest rates or credit risk. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Simplifying the Transition to the Equity method of Accounting. The update simplifies the equity method of accounting by eliminating the requirement to retrospectively apply the equity method to an investment that subsequently qualified for such accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. Consequently, when an investment qualifies for equity method, the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee would be added to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest, and the equity method would be applied subsequently from the date on which the investor obtains the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee. Unrealized holding gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income related to an available-for-sale security that becomes eligible for the equity method are to be recognized in earnings as of the date on which the investment qualifies for the equity method. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2017. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The guidance introduces a new approach for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2020. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force). The amended guidance clarifies how certain transactions should be classified in the statement of cash flows. The Company will adopt the ASU for annual periods beginning January 1, 2018. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption.

(4) Certain Long-Duration Contracts

Variable Annuity Contracts

The Company provides various forms of guarantees to benefit the related contractholders of variable annuity contracts issued through general and separate accounts. The primary guarantee types include GMDB and GLWB.

The GMDB, offered on variable annuity contracts, provides a specified minimum return upon death. Many of these death benefits are spousal, whereby a death benefit will be paid upon death of the first spouse. The survivor has the option to terminate the contract or continue it by having the death benefit paid into the contract and having a second death benefit paid upon the survivor’s death.

The GLWB, primarily offered in the Company’s Lifetime Income products, are living benefits that provide for enhanced retirement income security without the liquidity loss associated with annuitization. The withdrawal rates vary based on the age when withdrawals begin and are applied to a benefit base to determine the guaranteed lifetime income amount available to a contractholder. The benefit base is equal to the variable annuity premium at contract issuance and may increase as a result of a feature driven by minimum return and contract duration.

Other guarantee types the Company previously offered include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits (“GMAB”) and guaranteed minimum income benefits (“GMIB”). The GMAB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed return of deposits, adjusted proportionately for withdrawals, after a specified time period (5, 7 or 10 years). The GMIB is a living benefit that provides the contractholder with a guaranteed annuitization stream of income. The separate account value subject to GMAB was $359 million and $496 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The separate account value subject to GMIB was $347 million and $380 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The net amount at risk, general account value, reserve balances and paid claims for GMAB and GMIB were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The following table summarizes information regarding variable annuity contracts with GMDB and GLWB invested in general and separate accounts, as of the dates indicated (a contract may contain multiple guarantees):

	December 31, 2016								December 31, 2015

NATIONWIDE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

(a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nationwide Financial Services, Inc.)

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

During 2016, the Company recognized an increase in the liability for future policy benefits and claims in conjunction with the annual comprehensive review of assumptions for guarantees on variable annuity contracts, primarily related to the Company’s assumptions related to lapses, mortality, interest rates and market rates of return. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the updated assumptions resulted in an increase to life insurance benefits and claims of $62 million and lower amortization of DAC of $21 million.

During 2015, the Company recognized a net decrease in the liability for future policy benefits and claims in conjunction with the annual comprehensive review of assumptions, primarily related to the Company’s assumptions of participant benefit utilization of the net settlement option within the GLWB. The Company updated its estimate to reduce expected utilization of the net settlement option. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the change in estimate resulted in net realized investment gains of $187 million, an increase to life insurance benefits and claims of $164 million and lower amortization of DAC of $28 million.

Paid claims for GMDB were $36 million and $20 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Paid claims for GLWB were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The following table summarizes the account balances of deferred variable annuity contracts with guarantees invested in separate accounts, as of the dates indicated:

	December 31,
(in millions)	2016		2015

1 Excludes $30.2 billion and $31.3 billion as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, of separate account assets not related to deferred variable annuity contracts with guarantees, primarily attributable to retirement plan, variable universal life and COLI products.

Fixed Annuity Contracts

The Company offers certain fixed indexed annuity products with GMDB and GLWB. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the general account value for contracts with GMDB was $5.2 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, which includes $2.5 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, of general account value relating to contracts that also have GLWB. The net amount at risk, reserve balance and paid claims for these guarantees were immaterial as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Universal and Variable Universal Life Insurance Contracts

The Company offers certain universal life and variable universal life insurance products with no-lapse guarantees. These no-lapse guarantees provide that a policy will not lapse so long as the policyholder makes minimum premium payments. The reserve balances on these guarantees were $710 million and $548 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Paid claims on these guarantees were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The following table summarizes information regarding universal and variable universal life insurance contracts with no-lapse guarantees invested in general and separate accounts, as of the dates indicated:

(in millions)	General account value		Separate account value		Adjusted insurance in force1		Average age2
December 31, 2016	$	2,991	$	2,117	$	55,053		51
December 31, 2015	$	2,473	$	2,053	$	48,140		51

1 The adjusted insurance in force is calculated on a policy-level basis and equals the respective guaranteed death benefit less the account value and reinsurance.

2 Represents the weighted average attained age of contractholders at the respective date.

(5) Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

The following table summarizes changes in the DAC balance, as of the dates indicated:

	December 31,
(in millions)	2016			2015			2014
Balance at beginning of year	$	5,200		$	4,063		$	3,778
Capitalization of DAC		823			870			685
Amortization of DAC, excluding unlocks		(412	)		(326	)		(397	)
Amortization of DAC related to unlocks		(21	)		258			190

Balance at end of year	$	5,432		$	5,200		$	4,063

During 2016, the Company conducted its annual comprehensive review of model assumptions used to project DAC and other related balances, including valuation of business acquired (“VOBA”) and unearned revenue reserves. As part of this review, the Company recognized an increase in amortization for DAC of $21 million and a decrease in amortization for other related balances of $75 million. The updated assumptions were primarily related to a decrease in expected lapse rates and mortality performance. This was partially offset by updated assumptions for persistency, interest rates and market rates of return.

During 2015, the Company recognized a decrease in amortization for DAC of $258 million and decrease in amortization for other related balances of $21 million as a result of the annual comprehensive review of model assumptions and enhancements. The updated assumptions were primarily related to revisions made to the Company’s economic hedging strategies in conjunction with the change in estimate discussed in Note 4, as well as a decrease in the expected lapse rates for certain variable annuity products.

During 2014, the Company recognized a decrease in amortization for DAC of $190 million and decrease in amortization for other related balances of $15 million as a result of the annual comprehensive review of model assumptions and enhancements. The updated assumptions were primarily related to the actual performance of the block of business since the prior year review and the expectations for lapses, partially offset by an update to the Company’s long-term assumptions for separate account investment performance.

(7) Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks related to its ongoing business operations which are managed using derivative instruments.

Interest rate risk management. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions that expose the Company to interest rate risk arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. The Company uses interest rate swaps and futures to reduce or alter interest rate exposure.

Interest rate contracts are used by the Company in association with fixed and variable rate investments to achieve cash flow streams that support certain financial obligations of the Company and to produce desired investment returns. As such, interest rate contracts are generally used to convert fixed rate cash flow streams to variable rate cash flow streams or vice versa. In addition, prior to expiry in June 2015, the Company engaged in an interest rate swap program, which was structured to provide an offset against the negative impact of higher interest rates on the Company’s statutory surplus position and to mitigate the negative impact of lower interest rates on certain guarantees related to variable annuity contracts.

Equity market risk management. The Company issues a variety of insurance and annuity products that expose the Company to equity risks. To mitigate these risks, the Company enters into a variety of derivatives including equity index futures, options and total return swaps.

Other risk management. As part of its regular investing activities, the Company may purchase foreign currency denominated investments. These investments and the associated income expose the Company to volatility associated with movements in foreign exchange rates. As foreign exchange rates change, the increase or decrease in the cash flows of the derivative instrument are intended to mitigate the changes in the functional-currency equivalent cash flows of the hedged item. To mitigate this risk, the Company uses cross-currency swaps, which are included in other derivative contracts in the following tables.

Credit risk associated with derivatives transactions. The Company periodically evaluates the risks within the derivative portfolios due to credit exposure. When evaluating these risks, the Company considers several factors which include, but are not limited to, the counterparty credit risk associated with derivative receivables, the Company’s own credit as it relates to derivative payables, the collateral thresholds associated with each counterparty and changes in relevant market data in order to gain insight into the probability of default by the counterparty. The Company also considers the impact credit exposure could have on the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging relationships. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the impact of the exposure to credit risk on the fair value measurement of derivatives and the effectiveness of the Company’s hedging relationships was immaterial.

Of the $836 million and $570 million of fair value of total derivative assets at December 31, 2016 and 2015, $71 million and $48 million, respectively, are subject to master netting agreements. The Company received $660 million and $374 million of cash collateral and held $89 million and $99 million, respectively, of securities as off-balance sheet collateral, resulting in an immaterial uncollateralized position as of December 31, 2016 and 2015. Of the $123 million and $106 million of fair value of total derivative liabilities at December 31, 2016 and 2015, $71 million and $48 million are subject to master netting agreements, respectively. The Company posted $151 million and $92 million of cash collateral and pledged securities with a fair value of $54 million and $64 million, respectively, resulting in an immaterial uncollateralized position as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Included in total derivative (losses) gains for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 are economic hedging gains (losses) of $52 million and $(1.0) billion related to the program that protects against the negative impact of higher interest rates on the Company’s statutory surplus position through expiry.

2 The annual comprehensive review of model assumptions for the individual variable annuity business produced an immaterial impact for the year ended December 31, 2016. The annual review produced a favorable impact for the year ended December 31, 2015, attributable to the change in estimate discussed in Note 4. The annual review produced a favorable impact for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to model enhancements and updated assumptions for discounting and benefit utilization, partially offset by mortality and lapse rates.

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

Transfers into and out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2016 are primarily due to the change in observability of pricing inputs used for certain corporate public and private securities. There were no material transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Living Benefit Guarantees

The following table summarizes significant unobservable inputs used for fair value measurements for living benefits liabilities, included in future policy benefits and claims and classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2016:

Unobservable Inputs	Range
Mortality	0.1% - 10%3
Lapse	0% - 35%4
Wait period	0 yrs - 30 yrs5
Efficiency of benefit utilization1	60% - 100%6
Discount rate2	See note 2 below
Index volatility	15% - 25%

1 The unobservable input is not applicable to GMABs.

2 Incorporates the liquidity and non-performance risk adjustment. The liquidity spread takes into consideration market observables for spreads in illiquid assets. The non-performance risk adjustment reflects an additional spread over LIBOR determined by market observables for similarly rated public bonds.

3 Represents the mortality for the majority of business with living benefits, with policyholder issue ages ranging from 45 to 85.

4 Certain scenarios could drive dynamic lapses outside of the specified range. The range shown represents lapses for the vast majority of scenarios.

5 A portion of the contractholders could never use the benefit, which would extend the range to an indeterminate period.

6 A portion of the contractholders could withdraw more than the benefit guarantee allows. For these policies, the excess withdrawals are assumed to be temporary before reverting back to 100% utilization.

The following changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above may result in a change in the fair value measurements of the living benefits liability:

Higher mortality rates tend to decrease the value of the liability and lower mortality rates tend to increase the value of the liability.

Higher lapse rates tend to decrease the value of the liability and lower lapse rates tend to increase the value of the liability. Factors that impact the predicted lapse rate can include: age, policy duration, policy size, benefit in-the-moneyness, tax status (i.e. qualified or non-qualified), interest rate levels, short-term equity market performance, partial withdrawal behavior and applicable surrender charges. All else being equal, policies that are in-the-money will have lower lapse rates than policies that are out-of-the-money, and policies that have a surrender charge present will have lower lapse rates than policies without a surrender charge.

The assumed wait period and the efficiency of utilization determine the timing and amount of living benefits withdrawals. These assumptions vary by the product type, age of the policyholder, policy size and policy duration. Many products have a bonus feature which enhances the guarantee on every policy anniversary for the first ten years so long as withdrawals have not commenced. All else being equal, policies commencing withdrawals at a time around the year ten bonus will have higher liability values than policies commencing withdrawals 20 years after issue or policies commencing withdrawals only one year after issue. In addition, policies that are assumed to withdraw the maximum permitted amount will have a higher liability value than a policy that is assumed to withdraw less than the maximum allowed amount.

A higher discount rate tends to decrease the value of the liability and a lower discount rate tends to increase the value of the liability.

Higher index volatility tends to increase the value of the liability and lower index volatility tends to decrease the value of the liability.

Indexed Products

The following table summarizes significant unobservable inputs used for fair value measurements for indexed universal life and indexed annuity products classified as Level 3 as of December 31, 2016:

Unobservable Inputs	Range
Mortality	0% - 5%¹
Lapse	0% - 10%
Index volatility	15% - 25%2

1 Represents the mortality for the majority of business, with policyholder issue ages ranging from 0 to 80.

2 Certain managed volatility indices utilize a 5% index volatility.

The following changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs presented in the table above may result in a change in the fair value measurements of the indexed products:

Higher mortality rates tend to decrease the value of the liability and lower mortality rates tend to increase the value of the liability.

Higher lapse rates tend to decrease the value of the liability and lower lapse rates tend to increase the value of the liability. Factors that impact the predicted lapse rate can include: age, policy duration, policy size, and applicable surrender charges. All else being equal, policies with a surrender charge present will have lower lapse rates than policies without a surrender charge.

Higher index volatility tends to increase the value of the liability and lower index volatility tends to decrease the value of the liability.

1 Excludes $2.1 billion of separate account assets that use NAV as a practical expedient to estimate fair value, which presentation has changed to conform with the current period presentation as a result of new guidance. This included an investment in a mutual fund that was not redeemed until the guarantee period expired in 2016 with a net asset value of $1.7 billion. The investment strategy of this fund was to build a portfolio where the assets were sufficient to achieve a target portfolio value by the end of the guarantee period.

Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s financial instruments not carried at fair value as of the dates indicated. The valuation techniques used to estimate these fair values are described below.

Long-term debt	$	707	$	927	$	920	$	7	$	707	$	941	$	934	$	7

Mortgage loans, net of allowance. The fair values of mortgage loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings.

Policy loans. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value as policy loans are fully collateralized by the cash surrender value of underlying insurance policies.

Other investments. Other investments not held at fair value consist of FHLB stock. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to ownership restrictions and lack of market.

Investment contracts. For investment contracts without defined maturities, fair value is the amount payable on demand, net of surrender charges. For investment contracts with known or determined maturities, fair value is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis. Interest rates used in this analysis are similar to currently offered contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. The fair value of adjustable rate contracts approximates their carrying value.

Short-term debt. The carrying amount reported in the consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of this debt instrument.

Long-term debt. The fair values for long-term debt are based on estimated market prices using observable inputs from similar debt instruments.

(11) Short-Term Debt

The Company classifies debt as short-term if the maturity date at inception is less than one year.

In December 2015, the Company renewed an agreement to increase its $600 million commercial paper program to $750 million. The Company had $300 million and $400 million outstanding under the agreement as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 0.72% and 0.45%, respectively.

In November 2015, the Company terminated its $400 million unsecured revolving promissory note and line of credit agreement with its parent company.

In March 2016, the Company renewed an agreement with the FHLB to extend its ability to borrow in order to provide financing for operations. This extension, which expires on March 24, 2017, allows the Company access to borrow up to $250 million, which would be collateralized by pledged securities. The Company had $6.1 billion and $6.7 billion in eligible collateral and no amounts outstanding under the agreement as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

In April 2015, NMIC and the Company replaced their previous $600 million revolving credit facility with a new credit facility of $750 million, which expires on April 2, 2020. The Company had no amounts outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The Company has entered into an agreement with its custodial bank to borrow against the cash collateral that is posted in connection with its securities lending program. The maximum amount available under the agreement is $350 million. The borrowing rate on this program is equal to one-month U.S. LIBOR. The Company had no amounts outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

The amount of interest paid on short-term debt was immaterial in 2016, 2015 and 2014.

(12) Long-Term Debt

The following table summarizes the carrying value of long-term debt, as of the dates indicated:

	December 31,

	December 31,
	2016						2015						2014
(in millions)	Amount			%			Amount			%			Amount			%

Total	$	126			14	%	$	293			24	%	$	(147	)		112	%

The Company’s current federal income tax liability was $52 million and $61 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company made $7 million, $33 million and immaterial payments for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

During 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded a tax benefit of $6 million and $1 million, respectively. These changes in estimates were primarily driven by differences in the Company’s separate account dividends received deduction (“DRD”) between the previous year’s estimate and the amount reported on the previous year’s tax return.

As of December 31, 2016, the Company had $254 million in low-income-housing credit carryforwards, which expire between 2024 and 2036, $268 million in alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards, which have an unlimited carryforward and $77 million in foreign tax credit carryforwards, which expire between 2017 and 2025. The Company expects to fully utilize all carryforwards.

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

The following table summarizes the tax effects of temporary differences that gave rise to significant components of the net deferred tax liability included in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, as of the dates indicated:

	December 31,
(in millions)	2016			2015
Deferred tax assets
Future policy benefits and claims	$	953		$	825
Tax credit carryforwards		599			483
Derivatives, including embedded derivatives		21			120
Other		383			411
Gross deferred tax assets	$	1,956		$	1,839
Valuation allowance		(17	)		(17	)
Gross deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance	$	1,939		$	1,822
Deferred tax liabilities
Deferred policy acquisition costs	$	1,577		$	1,502
Available-for-sale securities		536			315
Other		278			249
Gross deferred tax liabilities	$	2,391		$	2,066
Net deferred tax liability	$	452		$	244

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of the total gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on the Company’s analysis, it is more likely than not that the results of future operations and the implementation of tax planning strategies will generate sufficient taxable income to enable the Company to realize the deferred tax assets for which the Company has not established valuation allowances.

The following table is a rollforward of the beginning and ending uncertain tax positions, including permanent and temporary differences, but excluding interest and penalties:

(in millions)	2016			2015			2014
Balance at beginning of period	$	36		$	38		$	36
Additions for current year tax positions		1			1			3
Additions for prior year tax positions		1			—			—
Reductions for prior years tax positions		(2	)		(3	)		(1	)
Balance at end of period	$	36		$	36		$	38

The Company believes it is reasonably possible that the liability for unrecognized tax benefits could decrease $15 million within the next 12 months as a result of IRS exam settlement.

The Company files consolidated income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. NMIC and its eligible subsidiaries are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examinations by tax authorities through the 2010 tax year. NLIC and its eligible subsidiaries are no longer subject to examinations by tax authorities through the 2010 tax year. In 2015, the IRS commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the years 2011 and 2012. Any adjustments that may result from either IRS examination of tax returns or appeals settlement are not expected to have a material effect on the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company.

(14) Statutory Financial Information

Statutory Results

The Company’s life insurance subsidiaries prepare their statutory financial statements in conformity with the statutory accounting practices prescribed and permitted by insurance regulatory authorities, subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the applicable state departments of insurance.

Olentangy Reinsurance, LLC (“Olentangy”), a special purpose financial captive insurance company subsidiary of NLAIC domiciled in the State of Vermont, was granted a permitted practice from the State of Vermont that increased NLAIC’s valuation of this subsidiary by $56 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, which also allowed NLIC to admit additional deferred tax assets of $8 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Eagle applies a prescribed practice from the State of Ohio that allows an alternative reserve basis on assumed liabilities, net of third party reinsurance, with respect to specified GMDB and GLWB obligations provided under substantially all of the variable annuity contracts issued and to be issued by NLIC. This prescribed practice decreased NLIC’s valuation of this subsidiary by $97 million and $64 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which also reduced NLIC’s admitted deferred tax assets by $15 million and $10 million as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Statutory accounting practices focus on insurer solvency and differ materially from GAAP primarily due to charging policy acquisition and other costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefits and claims reserves based on different actuarial assumptions, excluding certain assets from statutory admitted assets and valuing investments and establishing deferred taxes on a different basis.

The following table summarizes the statutory net income (loss) and statutory capital and surplus for the Company’s primary life insurance subsidiaries for the years ended:

	December 31,
(in millions)	2016			2015			2014
Statutory net income (loss)
NLIC	$	751		$	167		$	341
NLAIC	$	(227	)	$	(99	)	$	(122	)
Statutory capital and surplus
NLIC	$	5,208		$	4,567		$	4,408
NLAIC	$	968		$	735		$	691

Dividend Restrictions

The payment of dividends by NLIC is subject to restrictions set forth in the insurance laws and regulations of the State of Ohio, its domiciliary state. The State of Ohio insurance laws require Ohio-domiciled life insurance companies to notify the Ohio Superintendent of Insurance of all dividends prior to payment and must seek prior regulatory approval to pay a dividend or distribute cash or other property if the fair market value thereof, together with that of other dividends or distributions made in the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) 10% of statutory-basis policyholders’ surplus as of the prior December 31 or (2) the statutory-basis net income of the insurer as of the prior December 31. During the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 NLIC did not pay any dividends to NFS. As of January 1, 2017, NLIC has the ability to pay dividends to NFS totaling $751 million without obtaining prior approval.

The State of Ohio insurance laws also require insurers to seek prior regulatory approval for any dividend paid from other than earned surplus. Earned surplus is defined under the State of Ohio insurance laws as the amount equal to the Company’s unassigned funds as set forth in its most recent statutory financial statements, including net unrealized capital gains and losses or revaluation of assets. Additionally, following any dividend, an insurer’s policyholder surplus must be reasonable in relation to the insurer’s outstanding liabilities and adequate for its financial needs. The payment of dividends by the Company may also be subject to restrictions set forth in the insurance laws of the State of New York that limit the amount of statutory profits on the Company’s participating policies (measured before dividends to policyholders) available for the benefit of the Company and its stockholders.

The Company currently does not expect such regulatory requirements to impair the ability to pay operating expenses and dividends in the future.

Regulatory Risk-Based Capital

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Risk-Based Capital (“RBC”) model law requires every insurer to calculate its total adjusted capital and RBC requirement to ensure insurer solvency. Regulatory guidelines provide for an insurance commissioner to intervene if the insurer experiences financial difficulty, as evidenced by a company’s total adjusted capital falling below established relationships to required RBC. The model includes components for asset risk, liability risk, interest rate exposure and other factors. The State of Ohio imposes minimum RBC requirements that are developed by the NAIC. The formulas in the model for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of total adjusted capital to authorized control level RBC, as defined by the NAIC. Companies below specific trigger points or ratios are classified within certain levels, all of which require specified corrective action. NLIC, NLAIC, Olentangy and Eagle each exceeded the minimum RBC requirements for all periods presented.

(15) Related Party Transactions

The Company has entered into significant, recurring transactions and agreements with NMIC, other affiliates and subsidiaries as a part of its ongoing operations. These include annuity and life insurance contracts, agreements related to reinsurance, cost sharing, tax sharing, administrative services, marketing, intercompany loans, intercompany repurchases, cash management services, investment management and software licensing. In addition, employees of the Company participate in several benefit plans sponsored by NMIC, for which the Company has no legal obligations. Measures used to allocate expenses among companies include individual employee estimates of time spent, special cost studies, claims counts, policies in force, direct written premium, paid losses, pro rate share of employees or their salaries, the number of full-time employees, commission expense and other methods agreed to by the participating companies.

Effective January 1, 2015, the Company became party to a revised tax sharing agreement that reflects the new NMIC consolidated federal return group which includes its eligible life and non-life insurance company subsidiaries. The method of allocation among the companies is based upon separate return calculations with current benefit for tax losses and credits utilized in the consolidated return.

In addition, Nationwide Services Company, LLC (“NSC”), a subsidiary of NMIC, provides data processing, systems development, hardware and software support, telephone, mail and other services to the Company, based on specified rates for units of service consumed pursuant to the enterprise cost sharing agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, the Company was allocated costs from NMIC and NSC totaling $277 million, $289 million and $275 million, respectively.

Under the enterprise cost sharing agreement, the Company has a cost sharing arrangement with NMIC to occupy office space. The Company made payments under the cost sharing agreement to NMIC of $19 million, $18 million and $16 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company has issued group annuity and life insurance contracts and performs administrative services for various employee benefit plans sponsored by NMIC or its affiliates. Total account values of these contracts were $3.4 billion and $3.3 billion as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Total revenues from these contracts were $127 million, $129 million and $131 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and include policy charges, net investment income from investments backing the contracts and administrative fees. Total interest credited to the account balances were $111 million, $106 million and $109 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Company may underwrite insurance policies for its agents, employees, officers and/or directors. The Company may offer discounts on certain products that are subject to applicable state insurance laws and approvals.

NLIC has a reinsurance agreement with NMIC whereby all of NLIC’s accident and health business not ceded to unaffiliated reinsurers is ceded to NMIC on a modified coinsurance basis. Either party may terminate the agreement on January 1 of any year with prior notice. Under a modified coinsurance agreement, the ceding company retains invested assets, and investment earnings are paid to the reinsurer. Under the terms of NLIC’s agreements, the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates is borne by the reinsurer. The ceding of risk does not discharge the original insurer from its primary obligation to the policyholder. Revenues ceded to NMIC were $209 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 and $208 million for the years ended 2014, while benefits, claims and expenses ceded during these years were $185 million, $207 million and $217 million, respectively.

(16) Contingencies

Legal and Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to legal and regulatory proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. These include proceedings specific to the Company and proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industries in which the Company operates. The outcomes of these proceedings cannot be predicted due to their complexity, scope, and many uncertainties. Regulatory proceedings may also affect the outcome of one or more of the Company’s litigation matters. Furthermore, it is often not possible with any degree of certainty to determine the likely ultimate outcomes of the pending regulatory and legal proceedings or to provide reasonable ranges of potential losses. Some matters are in very preliminary stages, and the Company does not have sufficient information to make an assessment of the claims for liability or damages. In some of the legal proceedings which are seeking to be certified as class actions, the court has not yet decided whether a class will be certified or (in the event of certification) the size of the class and class period. In many of the legal proceedings, the plaintiffs are seeking undefined amounts of damages or other relief, including punitive damages and equitable remedies, which are difficult to quantify and cannot be defined based on the information currently available. The Company believes, however, that based on currently known information, the ultimate outcome of all pending legal and regulatory proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position. Nonetheless, it is possible that such outcomes could materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations in a particular quarter or annual period given the large or indeterminate amounts sought in certain of these legal proceedings and the inherent unpredictability of litigation. The Company maintains Professional Liability Insurance and Director and Officer Liability insurance policies that may cover losses for certain legal and regulatory matters. The Company recognizes an asset for insurance recoveries, not to exceed cumulative accrued losses, when recovery under such policies is probable and reasonably estimable.

The various businesses conducted by the Company are subject to oversight by numerous federal and state regulatory entities, including but not limited to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Department of Labor (“DOL”), the IRS and state insurance authorities. Such regulatory entities may, in the normal course, be engaged in general or targeted inquiries, examinations and investigations of the Company and/or its affiliates. With respect to all such scrutiny directed at the Company or its affiliates, the Company is cooperating with regulators. The Company will cooperate with its ultimate parent company, NMIC insofar as any inquiry, examination or investigation encompasses NMIC’s operations. In addition, recent regulatory activity, including activity by the DOL, may impact the Company’s business and operations, and certain estimates and assumptions used by the Company in determining the amounts presented in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates and assumptions.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company provides standard indemnifications to contractual counterparties. The types of indemnifications typically provided include breaches of representations and warranties, taxes and certain other liabilities, such as third party lawsuits. The indemnification clauses are often standard contractual terms and are entered into in the normal course of business based on an assessment that the risk of loss would be remote. The terms of the indemnifications vary in duration and nature. In many cases, the maximum obligation is not explicitly stated, and the contingencies triggering the obligation to indemnify have not occurred and are not expected to occur. Consequently, the amount of the obligation under such indemnifications is not determinable. Historically, the Company has not made any material payments pursuant to these obligations.

(17) Reinsurance

Amounts recoverable under reinsurance contracts totaled $683 million, $647 million and $704 million as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

(18) Segment Information

Management views the Company’s business primarily based on its underlying products and uses this basis to define its four reportable segments: Individual Products and Solutions-Annuity, Retirement Plans, Individual Products and Solutions-Life and NBSG and Corporate and Other.

The primary segment profitability measure that management uses is pre-tax operating earnings (loss), which is calculated by adjusting income before federal income taxes to exclude: (1) certain changes in variable annuity liabilities and net realized investment gains and losses, except for operating items (trading portfolio realized gains and losses, trading portfolio valuation changes and net realized gains and losses related to certain product hedges); (2) the adjustment to amortization of DAC related to certain changes in variable annuity liabilities and net realized investment gains and losses; and (3) net losses attributable to noncontrolling interest.

Individual Products and Solutions-Annuity

The Individual Products & Solutions - Annuity segment consists of individual annuity products. Deferred annuity contracts provide the customer with tax-deferred accumulation of savings and flexible payout options including lump sum, systematic withdrawal or a stream of payments for life. In addition, deferred variable annuity contracts provide the customer with access to a wide range of investment options and asset protection features. Deferred fixed annuity contracts offered by the Company generate a return for the customer at a specified interest rate fixed for prescribed periods while deferred fixed indexed annuity contracts generate a return for the customer based o market performance with caps and floors. Immediate annuities differ from deferred annuities in that the initial premium is exchanged for a stream of income for a certain period and/or for the owner’s lifetime without future access to the original investment. The majority of assets and recent sales for the Individual Products & Solutions - Annuity segment consist of deferred variable and fixed annuities.

Notes to December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements

Retirement Plans

The Retirement Plans segment is comprised of the private and public sector retirement plans businesses. The private sector business primarily includes Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 401 qualified plans funded through fixed and variable group annuity contracts issued through NLIC. The public sector business primarily includes IRC Section 457 (b) and Section 401(a) governmental plans, both in the form of full-service arrangements that provide plan administration along with fixed and variable group annuities, as well as administration-only business. Across the public and private sector business Nationwide Investment Advisors managed account services are also available. The Retirement Plans segment also includes stable value wrap products and solutions.

Individual Products and Solutions-Life and NBSG

The Individual Products & Solutions - Life and NBSG segment consists of life insurance products, including individual variable universal life, COLI and BOLI products, traditional life insurance products, fixed universal life insurance products and indexed universal life insurance products. Life insurance products provide a death benefit and, for certain products, allow the customer to build cash value on a tax-advantaged basis.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment includes certain non-operating changes in variable annuity liabilities and non-operating realized gains and losses, related amortization and other revenues and expenses not allocated to other segments. Additionally, this segment includes the funding agreements with the FHLB.

Item 29. Indemnification

Provision is made in Nationwide’s Amended and Restated Code of Regulations and expressly authorized by the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio, for indemnification by Nationwide of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of Nationwide, against expenses, including attorneys fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Ohio.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Nationwide pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Nationwide has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in

connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
