Evergreen VA Special Equity Fund

This  supplement  reflects the merger of the Evergreen VA Special Equity Fund  ("Evergreen  Special Equity Fund") into the Evergreen VA
Growth Fund ("Evergreen Growth Fund").

      All Account Value allocated to the Evergreen  Special Equity Fund  Sub-account is invested in the Evergreen  Special Equity Fund.
The Board of Trustees of the Evergreen  Special  Equity Fund recently  approved a proposal to merge the Evergreen  Special  Equity Fund
into the Evergreen Growth Fund (the "successor  fund"),  subject to shareholder  approval.  If the shareholders of the Fund approve the
proposal,  all of the assets of the Evergreen  Special Equity Fund will be transferred to Evergreen Growth Fund and shareholders of the
Evergreen  Special Equity Fund will receive  shares of the Evergreen  Growth Fund in exchange for their  Evergreen  Special Equity Fund
shares.  If approved,  the merger will take place on or about April 15, 2005 ("merger date").  As a result,  at the time of the merger,
the name of the  Sub-account  will change from  Evergreen VA Special  Equity  Sub-account  to Evergreen VA Growth  Sub-account  and the
Sub-account  will invest  exclusively  in the Evergreen  Growth Fund rather than the Evergreen  Special  Equity Fund. In addition,  the
Unit  Price of the  Sub-account's  units  will be reset at $10.00  per unit on the date of the  merger  and the number of units will be
recalculated to reflect the reset in the Unit Price.  Your Account Value will not be affected by the changes in the Sub-account.

The table below  contains  annual  expenses for the successor  portfolio.  The annual  operating  expenses shown are as of December 31,
2003.
