Effective February 27, 2012 (the “Closure Date”), the Value Line® Target 25 Portfolio Sub-account (the “Sub-account”) will close to all Owners except those Owners who have ever invested Account Value in the Sub-account.

If you have ever invested Account Value in the Sub-account, you may continue to allocate Account Value and make transfers into the Sub-account after the Closure Date, including any electronic funds transfer, Dollar Cost Averaging, Automatic Rebalancing, asset allocation and Balanced Investment programs.

If you have never previously invested in the Sub-account, and you do not have Account Value invested in the Sub-account as of the Closure Date, you will not be permitted to invest in the Sub-account thereafter.
