Please note that you may transfer Account Value out of the Target Portfolio into an investment option available under your annuity contract any time prior to the Effective Date. Such transfers will be free of charge and will not count as one of your annual free transfers under your annuity contract. Also, for a period of 60 days after the Effective Date, any Account Value that was transferred to the Acquiring Portfolio as a result of the merger can be transferred into an investment option available under your annuity contract free of charge and will not count as one of your annual free transfers. It is important to note that any investment option into which you make your transfer will be subject to the transfer limitations described in your Prospectus. Please refer to your Prospectus for detailed information about investment options.

After the Effective Date, the Target Portfolio will no longer exist and, unless you instruct us otherwise, any outstanding instruction you have on file with us that designates the Target Portfolio will be deemed an instruction for the Acquiring Portfolio. This includes, but is not limited to, Systematic Withdrawals and Dollar Cost Averaging.

You may wish to consult with your financial professional to determine if your existing allocation instructions should be changed before or after the Effective Date.
