On September 28, 2017, Lincoln Benefit Life Company’s direct parent, Resolution Life, Inc. changed its name to LBL HoldCo II, Inc., and Lincoln Benefit Life Company’s indirect parent, Resolution Life Holdings, Inc. changed its name to LBL HoldCo, Inc.

On October 1, 2017, the indirect parent companies of Lincoln Benefit Life Company—Resolution Life L.P. and Resolution Life (Parallel) Partnership—entered into an agreement with SNH Acquisition, LLC and Southland National Holdings, Inc. to sell LBL HoldCo, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Lincoln Benefit Life Company, to SNH Acquisition, LLC (the “Transaction”).  The Transaction is subject to required regulatory approvals.  Subject to the receipt of such regulatory approvals, the Transaction is targeted to close in the 1st quarter of 2018.

The terms and provisions of your Contract will not be changed by the Transaction, and Lincoln Benefit Life Company will continue to honor all of its obligations under your Contract.  The Transaction will not change the fact that Lincoln Benefit Life Company is the named insurer under your Contract.  Following the Transaction, the Prudential Insurance Company of America or an affiliate will continue to reinsure the Contracts and administer the Variable Account and the Contracts.
