This supplement amends certain disclosures contained in the above-referenced prospectuses for certain variable annuity contracts issued by Lincoln Benefit Life Company. Please keep this supplement for future reference together with your prospectus.

 

We have received notice that the Board of Trustees (“Board”) of Premier VIT has approved the liquidation, on or about January 18, 2008, 2008, of the Premier VIT OpCap Renaissance Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). Due to the liquidation of the Portfolio, we will no longer accept new premiums for investment in, nor will we permit transfers to, the Premier VIT OpCap Renaissance Sub-Account (the “OpCap” Sub-Account”) on or after January 16, 2008.

 

As the OpCap Sub-Account will no longer be offered as an investment alternative, you may wish to transfer, prior to January 18, 2008, some or all of your Contract Value in the OpCap Sub-Account to other investment alternatives currently offered by your Contracts. Such transfer is not subject to a transfer fee. Any value remaining in the OpCap Sub-Account will be transferred automatically, as of January 18, 2008, to the PIMCO VIT Money Market Sub-Account, an investment alternative already available under your Contract.

 

If you currently allocate Contract Value to the OpCap Sub-Account through automatic additions, automatic portfolio rebalancing, dollar cost averaging or systematic withdrawal programs, your allocations in these programs will also need to be changed. If you do not change these allocations to other investment alternatives currently available under your Contract, any allocations to the OpCap Sub-Account will be automatically allocated, as of January 18, 2008, to the PIMCO VIT Money Market Sub-Account.

 

Attached as Appendix A is a list of the Investment Alternatives currently available under your Contract.

 

If you have Contract Value in the affected Sub-Account under the TrueReturnSM Accumulation Benefit Option, we strongly encourage you, prior to January 18, 2008, to transfer all of your Contract Value out of the affected Sub-Account. If you have Guarantee Option 1, Model Portfolio Option 1 or Guarantee Option 2, Model Portfolio 2 (Rider Date prior to May 1, 2005) you should transfer the funds to another Category C investment alternative in order to maintain the percentage allocation requirements for these benefit options. Appendix B is attached and lists your Category C investment alternatives. If you have Guarantee Option 2, Model Portfolio Option 2 (Rider Date on or after May 1, 2005) you should transfer the funds to another acceptable investment alternative as described in your prospectus and shown in Appendix B of the prospectus supplement for that benefit option.

 

We will send you a confirmation that shows the amount that we transferred to the PIMCO VIT Money Market Sub-Account or to the investment alternative that you chose and the date of the transaction. For additional information on how to transfer to another investment alternative, or how to make a change to your current allocation(s), please contact your financial representative or call our Customer Service Center at 1-800-865-5237

If your Contract Value in the OpCap Sub-Account is transferred automatically to the PIMCO VIT Money Market Sub-Account, for 60 days following the automatic transfer, you may transfer your Contract Value in the PIMCO VIT Money Market Sub-Account to any other investment alternative(s) available under your Contract (or to any other acceptable investment alternative for your particular benefit option, if any). Such transfer is not subject to a transfer fee.
