Fees and Expenses | ||||||||||
Charges for Early Withdrawals |
If you fully surrender your Policy within the first For example, if you were to surrender your Policy during the first year after your Policy purchase (and your total premiums paid were $100,000 and your Specified Amount is $500,000), then you could be assessed a Surrender Charge of up to $ For more detailed information, see “ Table of Fees and Expenses;” “ What Are the Fees and Charges Under the Policy?” | |||||||||
Transaction Charges |
You may be assessed a Surrender Charge of up to 4.50% of your Specified Amount upon a decrease in the Specified Amount within the first five years following your purchase of the Policy. In addition to the Surrender Charge for Policy surrenders, you may be charged for other transactions. These include a Percent of Premium Charge (deducted from each premium) and a partial withdrawal processing fee. We reserve the right to impose transfer charges (when you transfer Policy Value between Investment Options), but we currently do not impose these charges. We may also impose charges if you exercise certain rider benefits.For more detailed information, see “ Table of Fees and Expenses;” “ What Are the Fees and Charges Under the Policy?” | |||||||||
Ongoing Fees and Expenses |
In addition to Surrender Charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses (usually deducted on a monthly basis). Some of these charges, such as the monthly Cost of Insurance Charge, the monthly Expense Charge per Thousand of Specified Amount, and certain Rider charges (for supplemental benefits), are set based on individual characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). Other ongoing charges include the monthly Mortality and Expense Risk Asset Charges, loan interest, Per Policy Expense Charge, Asset Charges on certain Indexed Fixed Accounts and certain other Rider charges. Please refer to the Policy Specifications Page for rates and the specific fees applicable to your Policy. Investors will also bear expenses associated with the Portfolios, as shown in the following table, which shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses deducted from Portfolio assets (before any fee waiver or expense reimbursement) during the year ended December 31, 2023. | |||||||||

Risk of Loss |
You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of your premiums (principal). For more detailed information, see “Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy;” “What is the Value of My Policy?” | |
Not a Short- Term Investment |
This Policy is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. The Policy is designed to provide a life insurance benefit or to help meet other long- term financial objectives. Substantial fees, expenses, and tax implications generally make variable life insurance unsuitable as a short-term savings vehicle. Additionally, the Policy limits your ability to withdraw a portion of the Policy Value (also called cash value) through partial withdrawals or loans; you cannot access more than your Net Cash Surrender Value (the Policy Value less the Surrender Charge and less any outstanding Policy loan). For more detailed information, see “Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy.” | |
Risks Associated with Investment Options |
• An investment in this Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the Portfolios you choose, and the value of an investment can vary depending on the performance of the Portfolios. • Each Investment Option (the Portfolios and the Fixed Account Options) has its own unique risks. The performance of the Portfolios will vary among each other, may underperform similar mutual funds not available through the Variable Investment Options, and some are riskier than others. • A discussion of the risks of allocating your premiums or Policy Value to one or more Portfolios can be found in the prospectuses for the Portfolios. You should review the prospectuses for the Portfolios before making an investment decision. • Premiums and Policy Value allocated to the Fixed Account Options may be kept there for an extended period of time due to restrictions on transfers out of the Fixed Account Options. • Amounts you allocate to an Indexed Fixed Account will not earn less than a minimum interest rate. The guaranteed minimum interest rate on all non-loaned Indexed Fixed Account segments is 0.00%. Even with the guaranteed minimum interest rate, the Policy Value in the Indexed Fixed Account may decrease due to the Asset Charge, and you could lose money.For more detailed information, see “Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy;” “Appendix A — Portfolio Companies Available Under the Policy;” “Appendix B — Fixed Account Options and Policy Loan Accounts.” | |
Insurance Company Risks |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to the Company, including: • Any obligations, guarantees, and benefits of the Policy (including the Fixed Account Options) are subject to the claims-paying ability and financial strength of the Company. • There are risks relating to the Company’s administration of the Policy, including, among others, cybersecurity and infectious disease outbreak risks. • If the Company experiences financial distress, it may not be able to meet its obligations to you. • More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon request from the Company at 1-800-523-0650. For more detailed information, see “The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company;” “Financial Statements;” “Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy– Insurance Company Risks;” “Other Information.” |
Risks | ||
Policy Lapse |
The Policy can lapse even if you pay all of the planned premiums on time. • When a Policy lapses, it has no value, and no benefits are paid upon the death of the insured. You will also lose the principal invested. • A Policy can lapse if the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the Policy charges. This can happen due to insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, unpaid loans or loan interest, and Policy charges (including increases in those charges). • The larger a Policy loan becomes relative to the Policy’s Cash Surrender Value, the greater the risk that the Policy’s Net Cash Surrender Value will not be sufficient to support the Policy’s charges, including any loan interest due, and the greater the risk of the Policy lapsing. • A Policy lapse may have tax consequences. • If the Policy lapses, there are costs and premium requirements associated with reinstatement of the Policy. The no-lapse feature can prevent the Policy from lapsing if certain provisions are satisfied.For more detailed information, see “Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy;” “What Payments Must I Make Under the Policy? — Lapse and Reinstatement.” | |
Restrictions | ||
Investments |
• You can allocate your Net Premiums to Variable Investment Options (that invest in the Portfolios) or Fixed Account Options. • The minimum amount that you can transfer generally is $25. • If less than the full amount held under an Investment Option is transferred, the amount remaining in the Investment Option must be at least $25. • The maximum amount that you can transfer out of the Traditional Fixed Account in any Policy year is the greatest of (a) 25% of the amount in the Traditional Fixed Account at the previous Policy anniversary, (b) $5,000, or (c) the total amount transferred out of that account in the previous Policy year. • You may only transfer amounts from the Indexed Fixed Account at the end of its term. • Partial withdrawals and loans from an Indexed Fixed Account prior to the end of its term will receive a proportional amount of index credits for the time the amount is in the account before it is withdrawn. An index credit will not be paid if the Policy is surrendered before the end of a segment. • The amount that may be transferred excludes any amount held in the Policy loan accounts. • A 12 month Lockout Period will begin anytime a Policy loan is taken while any Policy Value is in the Indexed Fixed Accounts. During the Lockout Period, no transfers from the Traditional Fixed Account to the Indexed Fixed Accounts will be allowed. • The Company reserves the right to remove or substitute any of the Portfolios as Investment Options that are available under the Policy. • In addition, we may limit your ability to make transfers involving the Variable Investment Options if it is believed that a transfer may disadvantage or potentially harm or hurt the rights or interests of other Policy owners. • We will also reject or reverse a transfer request if for any reason any of the Portfolios do not accept the purchase of its shares. |
Restrictions | ||
Optional Benefits |
• We o ff er several optional benefits in the form of a rider to the Policy. Various optional benefits are available and some have an additional charge. Not all riders are available in every state and some riders may only be added when you apply for your Policy.• We may stop offering an optional benefit or may stop accepting subsequent premiums for an optional benefit at any time.• A change in the Specified Amount, a change in the death benefit option, the addition, deletion, or change of any riders, and/or a change in the insured’s rate class may impact the Policy’s No-Lapse Feature and may require the payment of additional premiums to maintain the Feature’s guarantee. For more detailed information, see “ What Are the Supplemental Riders And Benefits That Are Available?” | |
Taxes | ||
Tax Implications |
Consult with a tax adviser to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under this Policy. • If you purchase the Policy through a tax-qualified plan you do not get any additional tax benefit.• Earnings on your Policy (if any) are taxed when you withdraw them (or if a Policy loan is not repaid), at ordinary income tax rates, and may be subject to a tax penalty before age 59 1 ⁄ 2 . For more detailed information, see “ Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy Taxes and Tax Risks;” “ How Is the Policy Treated Under Federal Income Tax Law?” | |
Conflicts Of Interest | ||
Investment Professional Compensation |
Your financial professional may receive compensation for selling this Policy to you, in the form of commissions, asset-based compensation, allowances for expenses, and other compensation programs, and the Company may share the revenue it earns on this Policy with the professional’s firm. (Your financial professional may be your broker, investment adviser, insurance agent, or someone else.) For these reasons, these financial professionals may have a financial incentive to recommend this Policy over another policy or investment. | |
Exchanges |
Some financial professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the one you own. 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 your existing policy. For more detailed information, see “ What Payments Must I Make Under the Policy? — Tax-Free ‘Section 1035’ Insurance Policy Exchanges.” |

THE PENN INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company (“PIA” or the “Company”) is a Delaware stock life insurance company. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Penn Mutual”). We were chartered in 1982 and have been continuously engaged in the life insurance business since that date. We are licensed to sell insurance and annuities in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Our corporate headquarters are located at Eight Tower Bridge, 161 Washington Street, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428. Our mailing address is The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company, PO Box 178, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19105.
PIA Variable Life Account I
We established the PIA Variable Life Account I (the “Separate Account”) as a separate investment account under Delaware law on March 10, 2021. The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and qualifies as a “separate account” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Assignment
You may assign the Policy while it is in force during the life of the Insured. Your rights, and the rights of any beneficiary, will be subject to the rights of an assignee under the terms of an assignment. We will not be bound by any assignment until you provide a signed form, that we have either provided or find acceptable, and the form has been filed at the home office. Unless you specify otherwise, the assignment will take effect as of the date you signed the form, subject to any action we have taken prior to the time that the assignment is received at the home office. We are not responsible for the effect or the validity of any assignment.
Misstatement of Age or Sex
If the insured’s age or sex (if the policy is issued on a sex-distinct basis) has been misstated, we will adjust the proceeds payable under the Policy based on what the last monthly charges would have purchased at the correct age or sex (if the policy is issued on a sex-distinct basis).
Incontestability
After a Policy has been in force during the insured’s lifetime for two years from the date of issue, we may not contest the Policy, except in the case of fraud, when permitted by applicable law. However, if there has been a Policy change or reinstatement for which we required evidence of insurability, we may contest that Policy change or reinstatement for two years with respect to information provided at that time, during the lifetime of the insured, from the effective date of the Policy change or reinstatement.
Suicide
If the insured, whether sane or insane, dies by suicide, within two years of the date of issue or any shorter period as may be required by applicable law in the state where the Policy is delivered or issued for delivery, our liability will be limited to an amount equal to the premiums paid for the Policy less any Policy debt and partial withdrawals. If there has been an increase in Specified Amount for which we required evidence of insurability, and if the insured dies by suicide within two years from the effective date of the increase or any shorter period as may be required by applicable law in the state where the Policy is delivered or issued for delivery, our liability with respect to the increase will be limited to an amount equal to the portion of the monthly charges associated with that increase. If there has been a reinstatement, and if the insured dies by suicide, within two years of the reinstatement or any shorter period as may be required by applicable law in the state where the Policy is delivered or issued for delivery, our liability will be limited to an amount equal to the premiums paid less any Policy debt and partial withdrawals since the date of reinstatement.

Non-Principal Risks
In addition to the section of the prospectus on the principal risks of investing in the Policy, risks are disclosed separately in each of the appropriate sections of the prospectus.
Increases in Specified Amount
Additional coverage acquired in accordance with an increase in Specified Amount will incur additional Cost of Insurance Charges and an expense charge per $1,000 of the increased Specified Amount. Following an increase in Specified Amount, the Cost of Insurance Charges and the expense charge are determined separately for the initial coverage segment as well as for each additional coverage segment created as the result of an increase in the Specified Amount. For the purposes of calculating the Cost of Insurance Charges, the Policy Value is allocated to the initial Specified Amount. If the Policy Value exceeds the initial Specified Amount, the excess will be allocated to the increases in Specified Amount in the order of the increases.
SALE OF THE POLICY
Hornor, Townsend & Kent, LLC (“HTK”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Penn Mutual, serves as principal underwriter of the Policy. HTK is located at Eight Tower Bridge, 161 Washington Street, Conshohocken, Pennsylvania 19428. HTK also acts as principal underwriter for (1) Penn Mutual Variable Annuity Account III, a separate account established by Penn Mutual, (2) Penn Mutual Variable Life Account I, a separate account established by Penn Mutual, and (3) PIA Variable Annuity Account I, a separate account established by the Company. HTK is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Accumulation VUL Policy is newly offered and therefore HTK did not receive any compensation for its services related to the Policy during the last three fiscal years.
The offering of the Policy is continuous, and the Company does not anticipate discontinuing the offering of the Policy, although we reserve the right to do so.
PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
We may provide the investment performance for the mutual fund portfolios (each, a “Portfolio”) that are offered as investment options under the Policy. The performance information for the Portfolios reflects fees and expenses of the Portfolios, but does not reflect the other fees and expenses that your Policy may charge. Expenses would be higher and performance would be lower if these other charges were included.

Item 33. Indemnification
Article IV of the By-Laws of the Company provides that, in accordance with the provisions of the Section, the Company shall indemnify directors and officers against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such directors or officers in connection with such action, suit or proceeding to the extent that such person is not otherwise indemnified and the power to do so has been or may be granted by statute.
Pennsylvania law (15 Pa. C.S.A. §§ 1741-1750) authorizes Pennsylvania corporations to provide indemnification to directors, officers and other persons. Penn Mutual owns a directors and officers liability insurance policy covering liabilities that trustees and officers of Penn Mutual and its subsidiaries may incur in acting as trustees and officers. The Company is a wholly- owned subsidiary of Penn Mutual.
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 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 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 34. Principal Underwriters
Hornor, Townsend & Kent, LLC serves as principal underwriter of the securities of the Registrant. Hornor, Townsend & Kent, LLC also serves as distributor of variable annuity and variable life policies issued through Penn Mutual Variable Annuity Account III and Penn Mutual Variable Life Account I, each a separate account of Penn Mutual, and PIA Variable Annuity Account I, a separate account established by the Company.
