Supplement dated May 1, 2020
to the
The One Investor Annuity prospectus dated May 1, 2016
This supplement updates certain information contained in the prospectus. Please read it and keep it with the prospectus for future reference.
1. The following is added to the prospectus as a result of the SECURE Act that was enacted on December 20, 2019:
For those contract owners who attained the age of 70 1/2 prior to January 1, 2020, distributions from an IRA, SEP IRA, Simple IRA, or tax sheltered annuity must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the contract owner reaches age 70 1/2. The SECURE Act raised the age that distributions from IRAs, SEP IRAs, Simple IRAs, or tax sheltered annuities must begin. For contract owners who attain age 72 on or after January 1, 2020, distributions must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year in which the contract owner turns age 72.
The SECURE Act changed other provisions of the tax law. Consult a tax adviser for more information on the SECURE Act.
2. The Interest Charged provision and the Interest Credited provision of the Loan Privilege section are deleted in their entirety and replaced with the following:
Interest Charged and Credited
Compound interest is charged on the outstanding loan balance consisting of outstanding principal plus accrued interest. The total interest rate is comprised of a collateral interest rate plus a finance interest rate. The total interest rate is disclosed at the time of loan application or loan issuance.
The finance interest rate will be 2.25%. The collateral interest rate will be the total interest rate minus the finance interest rate and will be no less than the guaranteed minimum interest rate stated in the contract.
When a loan is repaid in accordance with the payment schedule provided at the time the loan is issued, collateral interest and finance interest that accrue between scheduled payments are paid off. As payments are made, collateral interest is credited to the collateral fixed account, and finance interest is paid to Nationwide. Finance interest may provide revenue for risk charges and profit.
Accrual of Principal and Interest After Default
Upon default, unpaid principal and collateral interest, and finance interest, will separately accrue and compound at the total interest rate. When the total interest rate is applied to accruing finance interest after default, the entire amount of interest is added to the outstanding finance interest. This will cause the total amount of the outstanding loan balance to grow rapidly over time. Following is an example of how principal and collateral interest, and finance interest accrue over time after a total default of a $50,000 loan.
After default, the first time interest is calculated:
1A. The total interest rate (collateral interest rate plus finance interest rate) is applied to the outstanding principal;
   
6.25% x $50,000 = $3,125
(total interest rate)   (outstanding principal)   ($2,000 =collateral interest
$1,125 = finance interest)
1B. The amount from 1A representing collateral interest is added to the outstanding principal;
   
$2,000 + $50,000 = $52,000
(collateral interest)   (outstanding principal)   (outstanding principal
and collateral interest)

1C. The amount from 1A representing finance interest is held separately, and subsequently accrues interest at the total interest rate on a compound basis and will become the outstanding finance interest; and
   
$1,125
(outstanding finance interest)
1D. The outstanding principal and collateral interest, and the outstanding finance interest, are added to determine the total outstanding principal and interest.
   
$52,000 + $1,125 = $53,125
(outstanding principal
and collateral interest)
  (outstanding finance interest)   (total outstanding
principal and interest)
Thereafter, when interest is calculated:
2A. The total interest rate (collateral interest rate plus finance interest rate) is applied to the outstanding principal and collateral interest from 1A above;
   
6.25% x $52,000 = $3,250
(total interest rate)   (1A outstanding
principal and
collateral interest)
  ($2,080 = collateral interest
$1,170 = finance interest)
2B. The amount from step 2A representing collateral interest is added to the outstanding principal and collateral interest from 1A;
   
$2,080 + $52,000 = $54,080
(collateral interest)   (1A outstanding
principal and
collateral interest)
  (outstanding principal
and collateral interest)
2C. The total interest rate is applied to the outstanding finance interest from 1C and added to that outstanding finance interest ;
   
6.25% x $1,125 = $70.31
(total interest rate)   (outstanding finance
interest)
  (finance interest)
    
$70.31 + $1,125 = $1,195.31
(finance interest)   (outstanding finance
interest)
  (outstanding finance
interest)
2D. The amount from step 2A representing finance interest is added to the outstanding finance interest amount in 2C;
   
$1,170 + $1,195.31 = $2,365.31
(finance interest)   (outstanding finance
interest)
  (outstanding finance
interest)

2E. The outstanding principal and collateral interest from 2B, and the outstanding finance interest from 2D are added together to determine the total outstanding principal and interest.
   
$54,080 + $2,365.31 = $56,445.31
(total outstanding
principal and collateral
interest)
  (outstanding finance

  (total outstanding
principal and interest)
This method of interest calculation and accrual is applied to the total outstanding principal and collateral interest, and finance interest balances until the entire loan balance is paid. Under this method of interest calculation, after 15 years of default, a $50,000 loan on which no payments were made will accrue as follows:
Outstanding Principal $50,000
Outstanding Collateral Interest $ 40,047
Outstanding Finance Interest $34,091
Total Outstanding Principal and Interest $124,138
