FEES AND EXPENSES
|
| |||
|
Charges for Early Withdrawals
|
| |
If you withdraw money from your Policy after the first year, a withdrawal charge equal to the lesser of 2% of the amount withdrawn or $25 will be deducted from the Policy Value. For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 from your Policy, you would be assessed a withdrawal charge of $25.
If you surrender the Policy within the first 10 Policy Years, you will be subject to a surrender charge of up to 5.45% of your Initial Face Amount. For example, if you surrender your Policy in the first Policy Year and the Initial Face Amount was $100,000, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $5,450.
For additional information about charges for surrenders and early withdrawals, see “CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS” and “FEE TABLE-- Transaction Charges” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Transaction Charges
|
| |
In addition to withdrawal and surrender charges, you may be subject to other transaction charges, including charges on each premium paid under the Policy, charges in connection with a decrease to your Policy’s Face Amount and transfer fees.
For additional information about transaction charges, see “CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS” and “FEE TABLE --Transaction Charges” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)
|
| |
In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, you are also subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses under the Policy, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance (“COI”) under the Policy and the cost of optional benefits available under the Policy. Such fees and expenses may be set based on characteristics of the Insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). You should review the Policy specifications page of your Policy for rates applicable to your Policy.
You will also bear expenses associated with the Funds available under the Policy, as shown in the following table:

RISKS
|
| |||
|
Risk of Loss
|
| |
You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of principal.
For additional information about the risk of loss, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Not a Short-Term Investment
|
| |
The Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Although you are permitted to take withdrawals or surrender the Policy, surrender charges and federal and state income taxes may apply. Consequently, you should not use the Policy as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. Because of the long-term nature of the Policy, you should consider whether purchasing the Policy is consistent with the purpose for which it is being considered.
For additional information about the investment profile of the Policy, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY,” “CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS,” “USE OF THE POLICY” and “TAX CONSIDERATIONS--Taxation of Insurance Polices” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
RISKS
|
| |||
|
Risks Associated with Investment Options
|
| |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options, or Funds, available under the Policy. Each investment option (including the Fixed Account investment option) will have its own unique risks, and investors should review these investment options before making an investment decision.
For additional information about the risks associated with Investment Options, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY,” “THE COMPANY AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT,” “THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS” and “FUND APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Insurance Company Risks
|
| |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to Protective Life, including that any obligations (including under the Fixed Account investment options), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling toll-free 1-888-353-2654.
For additional information about Company risks, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY” and “THE COMPANY AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Policy Lapse
|
| |
Your Policy could terminate if the value of your Policy becomes too low to support the Policy’s monthly charges. Your Policy may also Lapse due to insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, unpaid loans, or loan interest. There is a cost associated with reinstating a Lapsed Policy. Death Benefits will not be paid if the Policy has Lapsed.
For additional information about Policy Lapse, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY,” “PREMIUMS,” “LOANS,” and “LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
RESTRICTIONS
|
| |||
|
Investments
|
| |
While you may transfer amounts in the Sub-Accounts (which invest in shares of a corresponding Fund) and the Fixed Account, certain restrictions and transfer fees apply with regard to the number and amount of such transfers. Transfers are also subject to the excessive trading and market timing polices described in the Prospectus.
We reserve the right to remove or substitute Funds as investment options.
For additional information about Investment Options, see “TRANSFERS” and “ADDITION, DELETION, OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Optional Benefits
|
| |
Optional benefits, including Policy loans, are subject to additional charges. Some optional benefits are available only at the time your Policy is issued and may not be available for all Owners or Insureds. The maximum loan amount we allow at any time may not exceed 99% of the Policy’s Cash Value reduced by any Policy Debt or any lien outstanding (including accrued interest) on the Valuation Day your loan request is received.
For additional information about the optional benefits, see “OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY” and “SUPPLEMENTAL RIDERS AND ENDORSEMENTS” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
TAXES
|
| |||
|
Tax Implications
|
| |
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications regarding the purchase, ownership, and use of a Policy. Withdrawals and surrenders may be subject to income tax and will be taxed at ordinary tax rates. In addition, withdrawals and surrenders may be subject to an additional tax depending on the circumstances.
For additional information about tax implications, see “TAX CONSIDERATIONS” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
|
| |||
|
Investment Professional Compensation
|
| |
Some investment professionals have and may receive compensation for selling the Policy to investors, which may include commissions, revenue sharing, compensation from affiliates and third parties. These investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Policy over another investment.
For additional information about compensation, see “SALE OF THE POLICIES” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Exchanges
|
| |
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer an investor a new policy in place of the one he or she already owns. You should only exchange your policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the existing policy.
For additional information about exchanges, see “EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE” and “TAX CONSIDERATIONS--Section 1035 Exchanges” in the Prospectus.

FEES AND EXPENSES
|
| |||
|
Charges for Early Withdrawals
|
| |
If you withdraw money from your Policy after the first year, a withdrawal charge equal to the lesser of 2% of the amount withdrawn or $25 will be deducted from the Policy Value. For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 from your Policy, you would be assessed a withdrawal charge of $25.
If you surrender the Policy within the first 10 Policy Years, you will be subject to a surrender charge of up to 5.80% of your Initial Face Amount. For example, if you surrender your Policy in the first Policy Year and the Initial Face Amount was $100,000, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $5,800.
For additional information about charges for surrenders and early withdrawals, see “CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS” and “FEE TABLE --Transaction Charges” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Transaction Charges
|
| |
In addition to withdrawal and surrender charges, you may be subject to other transaction charges, including charges on each premium paid under the Policy, charges in connection with a decrease to your Policy’s Face Amount and transfer fees.
For additional information about transaction charges, see “CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS” and “FEE TABLE --Transaction Charges” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges)
|
| |
In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, you are also subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses under the Policy, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance (“COI”) under the Policy, administration, mortality and expense risk, loans and the cost of optional benefits available under the Policy. Such fees and expenses may be set based on characteristics of the Insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). You should review the Policy specifications page of your Policy for rates applicable to your Policy.
You will also bear expenses associated with the Funds available under your Policy, as shown in the following table:

RISKS
|
| |||
|
Risk of Loss
|
| |
You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of principal.
For additional information about the risk of loss, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Not a Short-Term Investment
|
| |
The Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis. Although you are permitted to take withdrawals or surrender the Policy, surrender charges and federal and state income taxes may apply. Consequently, you should not use the Policy as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. Because of the long-term nature of the Policy, you should consider whether purchasing the Policy is consistent with the purpose for which it is being considered.
For additional information about the investment profile of the Policy, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY,” “CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS,” “USE OF THE POLICY” and “TAX CONSIDERATIONS--Taxation of Insurance Polices” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
RISKS
|
| |||
|
Risks Associated with Investment Options
|
| |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options, or Funds, available under the Policy. Each investment option (including the Fixed Account investment option) will have its own unique risks, and investors should review these investment options before making an investment decision.
For additional information about the risks associated with Investment Options, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY,” “THE COMPANY AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT,” “THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT AND THE FUNDS” and “FUND APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Insurance Company Risks
|
| |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to Protective Life, including that any obligations (including under the Fixed Account investment options), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request by calling toll-free 1-888-353-2654.
For additional information about Company risks, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY” and “THE COMPANY AND THE FIXED ACCOUNT” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Policy Lapse
|
| |
Your Policy could terminate if the value of your Policy becomes too low to support the Policy’s monthly charges. Your Policy may also Lapse due to insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, unpaid loans, or loan interest. There is a cost associated with reinstating a Lapsed Policy. Death Benefits will not be paid if the Policy has Lapsed.
For additional information about Policy Lapse, see “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY,” “PREMIUMS,” “LOANS,” and “LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
RESTRICTIONS
|
| |||
|
Investments
|
| |
While you may transfer amounts in the Sub-Accounts (which invest in shares of a corresponding Fund) and the Fixed Account, certain restrictions and transfer fees apply with regard to the number and amount of such transfers. Transfers are also subject to the excessive trading and market timing polices described in the Prospectus.
We reserve the right to remove or substitute Funds as investment options.
For additional information about Investment Options, see “TRANSFERS” and “ADDITION, DELETION, OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Optional Benefits
|
| |
Optional benefits, including Policy loans, are subject to additional charges. Some optional benefits are available only at the time your Policy is issued and may not be available for all Owners or Insureds. The maximum loan amount we allow at any time may not exceed 99% of the Policy’s Cash Value reduced by any Policy Debt or any lien outstanding (including accrued interest) on the Valuation Day your loan request is received.
For additional information about the optional benefits, see “OTHER BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY” and “SUPPLEMENTAL RIDERS AND ENDORSEMENTS” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
TAXES
|
| |||
|
Tax Implications
|
| |
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications regarding the purchase, ownership, and use of a Policy. Withdrawals and surrenders may be subject to income tax and will be taxed at ordinary tax rates. In addition, withdrawals and surrenders may be subject to an additional tax depending on the circumstances.
For additional information about tax implications, see “TAX CONSIDERATIONS” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
|
| |||
|
Investment Professional Compensation
|
| |
Some investment professionals have and may receive compensation for selling the Policy to investors, which may include commissions, revenue sharing, compensation from affiliates and third parties. These investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Policy over another investment.
For additional information about compensation, see “SALE OF THE POLICIES” in the Prospectus.
|
|
|
Exchanges
|
| |
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer an investor a new policy in place of the one he or she already owns. You should only exchange your policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the existing policy.
For additional information about exchanges, see “EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE” and “TAX CONSIDERATIONS--Section 1035 Exchanges” in the Prospectus.

Item 32. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control With the Depositor or the Registrant
Item 33. Indemnification
Article XI of the By-laws of Protective Life provides, in substance, that any of Protective Life’s directors and officers, who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, other than an action by or in the right of Protective Life, by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or director, shall be indemnified by Protective Life against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such claim, action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Protective Life and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. If the claim, action or suit is or was by or in the right of Protective Life to procure a judgment in its favor, such person shall be indemnified by Protective Life against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Protective Life, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to Protective Life unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper. To the extent that a director or officer has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such action, suit or proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified by Protective Life against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith, not withstanding that he has not been successful on any other claim issue or matter in any such action, suit or proceeding. Unless ordered by a court, indemnification shall be made by Protective Life only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the officer or director is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct. Such determination shall be made (a) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to, or who have been successful on the merits or otherwise with respect to, such claim action, suit or proceeding, or (b) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion or (c) by the shareholders.
In addition, the executive officers and directors are insured by PLC’s Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance Policy including Company Reimbursement and are indemnified by a written contract with PLC which supplements such coverage.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 34. Principal Underwriters
(a) Investment Distributors, Inc. (“IDI”) is the principal underwriter of the Policies as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.
