PLEASE RETAIN THIS SUPPLEMENT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. At a special meeting of variable annuity contract owners, the following was approved by contract owners: 1. A new investment advisory agreement between each Account and Travelers Asset Management International Company LLC ("TAMIC"); 2. A proposal with respect to the future operation of each Account whereby TAMIC may from time to time, to the extent permitted by an exemption granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and subject to approval by the Board of Managers, enter into new or amended agreements with subadvisers with respect to the Account without obtaining Contract Owner approval of such agreements, and to permit such subadvisers to manage the assets of the Account pursuant to such subadvisory agreements; 3. Election of Elizabeth M. Forget as a member of the Board of Managers. As a result of Item 2 above, TAMIC, subject to the approval of each Account's Board of Managers, is able to change the subadviser for each Account or add a new subadviser from time to time, without the expense and delays associated with obtaining contract owner approval of the change or addition. In such circumstances, contract owners would receive notice of such change or addition, including the information concerning the new subadviser that normally is provided in a proxy statement. TAMIC would not be permitted, however, to appoint a subadviser that is an affiliate of the Account or TAMIC (other than by reason of serving as subadviser to the Account) (an "Affiliated Subadviser") without contract owner approval. TAMIC is responsible for overseeing these subadvisers and for making recommendations to the Board of Managers relating to hiring and replacing subadvisers. In accordance therewith, for Accounts MM and QB, TAMIC has retained Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc. ("SaBAM") as subadviser. Each Account had previously been managed directly by TAMIC without a subadviser. The addition of SaBAM as subadviser does not have any effect on the day-to-day management of the Accounts because the portfolio managers remain the same. SaBAM was established in 1987 and together with SaBAM affiliates in London, Tokyo and Hong Kong, provides a broad range of fixed income and equity investment services to individuals and institutional clients throughout the world. SaBAM 's principal address is 399 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citigroup Inc. ("Citigroup") On June 24, 2005, Citigroup announced that it had signed a definitive agreement under which Citigroup will sell substantially all of its worldwide asset management business to Legg Mason, Inc. ("Legg Mason"). As part of this transaction, SaBAM would become an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Legg Mason. The transaction is subject to certain regulatory approvals, as well as other customary conditions to closing. Subject to such approvals and the satisfaction of the other conditions, Citigroup expects the transaction to be completed later this year. The Travelers Insurance Company ("TIC") serves as each Account's administrator. TIC has entered into a sub-administrative service agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company to perform each Account's administrative, pricing and bookkeeping services. Under the section entitled "Managed Separate Accounts" under the sub-section "The Travelers Quality Bond Account for Variable Annuities (Account QB)," the second paragraph of biographical information under the sub-section "Portfolio Manager" is replaced with the following: Mr. Collins is a managing director of SaBAM and is a senior portfolio manager responsible for managing U.S. investment grade portfolios.
