Appendix-1 |
FEES AND EXPENSES |
Withdrawals |
There are no charges for early withdrawals. We reduce your Contract Value and the death proceeds each time you take a withdrawal. We do not change your Benefit Base or Lifetime Income Amount when you make a withdrawal if your total withdrawals during a Contract Year are less than or equal to the Lifetime Income Amount. |
Transaction Charges |
You may be charged for the following transactions: State premium taxes, which currently range from 0.04% to 4.00% of each Purchase Payment (see “VIII. Charges and Deductions – Premium Taxes”), may also apply to your Contract. We reserve the right to impose a charge in the future for transfers in excess of 12 per year. The amount of this fee will not exceed the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount transferred. For more information on transaction charges, please refer to “IV. Fee Tables –Transaction Expenses” and “VIII. Charges and Deductions – Premium Taxes”. |
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) |
In addition any and transaction charges, you will also be subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including the cost of optional benefits under the Contract. You should view the Contract for your applicable rates. For more information on ongoing fees and expenses, please refer to IV. Fee Tables – Periodic Fees and Expenses Other Than Portfolio Expenses”. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. | |||

If you take any withdrawals prior to the earliest available Lifetime Income Date, we reduce the Benefit Base we use to determine the guaranteed Lifetime Income Amount. If your Contract Value and your Benefit Base decline to zero before that Lifetime Income Date, you will lose the Lifetime Income Amount Guarantee. |
If you establish a Spousal Lifetime Income Amount on or after your Age 65 Trigger instead of a Single Life Lifetime Income Amount, we will calculate a lower Lifetime Income Amount (4.5% of the Benefit Base). |
We may decrease the Benefit Base to reflect withdrawals. We may increase the Benefit Base to reflect Benefit Enhancements and a one-time Step-Up to the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary before the date of the first withdrawal after the Lifetime Income Date if the Benefit Base is less than the Contract Value on that date. Any decrease or increase in the Benefit Base will result in a corresponding decrease or increase in the Lifetime Income Amount. |
The Life Expectancy Distribution program applicable to GIFL Select IRA Rollover Variable Annuity Contracts does not provide automatic “life expectancy” distributions that are intended to qualify under section 72(t)(2)(A)(iv) of the Code. This Code section contains an exception to a 10% penalty tax applicable to pre-59½ distributions. Please consult with a qualified tax professional for information about the impact of taxes, including tax penalties that may be applicable to withdrawals before age 59½. |
If you die during the Settlement Phase, the only death proceeds we provide are the remaining settlement payments that may become due under the Spousal Lifetime Income Amount guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. |
Once annuity payments begin under an Annuity Option, you will not be able to make any additional guaranteed withdrawals under a GIFL Select feature in a Contract. |

You must pay tax on any portion of a conversion or rollover amount that would have been taxed if you had not converted or rolled over to a Roth IRA. If you convert a Contract issued as a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, the amount deemed to be the conversion amount for tax purposes may be higher than the Contract Value because of the deemed value of guarantees. If you convert a Contract issued as a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you may instruct us not to withhold any of the conversion amount for taxes and remittance to the IRS. If you do instruct us to withhold for taxes when converting a Contract issued as a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, we will treat any amount we withhold as a withdrawal from your Contract, which could result in an Excess Withdrawal and a reduction in the Lifetime Income Amount we guarantee under your Contract. Please read “Guaranteed Lifetime Income Withdrawal Benefit” in “VII. Description of the Contract” for more information about the impact of withdrawals. |
