Risk of Loss

Principal Risks
Investments of
the Variable
Annuity
Account
Not a Short-Term
Investment
This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for the
investor who needs ready access to cash.
Withdrawals may result in surrender charges. If you take a withdrawal, any surrender
charge will reduce the value of your Contract or the amount of money that you
actually receive.
The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefit protections mean
the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon.
Withdrawals are subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.

If you already own a contract, some investment professionals may have a financial
incentive to offer you a new Contract in place of the one you own. You should only
exchange your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and

Appendix B — Investment Requirements
If you purchase a Living Benefit Rider (except i4LIFE® Advantage without the Guaranteed Income Benefit), you will be subject to Investment Requirements. This means you will be limited in your choice of Subaccount investments and may be limited in how much you can invest in certain Subaccounts. This also means you will not be able to allocate Contract Value to all of the Subaccounts that are available to Contractowners who have not elected a Living Benefit Rider. We impose Investment Requirements to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our own assets to make guaranteed payments under a Living Benefit Rider.
If you elect Lincoln ProtectedPay Secure Core®, Lincoln ProtectedPay Secure Plus®, Lincoln ProtectedPay Secure Max®, Lincoln Lifetime IncomeSM Advantage 2.0 (Managed Risk), i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk) or 4LATER® Advantage (Managed Risk), you must allocate your Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Requirements for Managed Risk Riders section below. If you elect Lincoln IRA Income PlusSM, you must allocate your Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Requirements for the Lincoln IRA Income PlusSM section below. If you elect any other Living Benefit Rider, you must allocate your Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Requirements for i4LIFE® Advantage Select Guaranteed Income Benefit or other Living Benefit Riders sections below, according to which rider you purchased and the date of purchase. Currently, if you purchase i4LIFE® Advantage without the Guaranteed Income Benefit, you will not be subject to any Investment Requirements, although we reserve the right to impose Investment Requirements for this rider in the future. If we do exercise our right to do so, you will have to reallocate your Account Value subject to such requirements.
If you elect a Living Benefit Rider, Investment Requirements apply whether you purchase the rider at contract issue, or add it to an existing Contract. You must hold the rider for a minimum period of time after election (the minimum time is specified under the Termination section of each rider). During this time, you will be required to adhere to the Investment Requirements. After this time, failure to adhere to the Investment Requirements will result in termination of the rider.
Certain Living Benefit Riders guarantee you the right to transition to a version of i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit even if that version is no longer available for purchase. If you transition to i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit, the Investment Requirements under your Prior Living Benefit Rider continue to apply. See i4LIFE® Advantage – i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit Transitions for a discussion of this transition.
Certain underlying funds that are included in the Investment Requirements, including funds managed by an adviser affiliated with us, employ risk management strategies that are intended to control the funds’ overall volatility, and for some funds, to also reduce the downside exposure of the funds during significant market downturns. These funds are included under Investment Requirements (particularly in the Investment Requirements for the Managed Risk riders) in part because the reduction in volatility helps us to reduce the risk of investment losses that may require us to use our own assets to make guaranteed payments under a Living Benefit Rider. At the same time, risk management strategies in periods of high market volatility or other market conditions, could limit your participation in market gains. This may conflict with your investment objectives by limiting your ability to maximize potential growth of your Contract Value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. You should consult with your registered representative to determine whether these funds align with your investment objectives. For more information about the funds and the investment strategies they employ, please refer to the funds’ current prospectuses. Fund prospectuses are available by contacting us.
If you purchase a Living Benefit Rider (except i4LIFE® Advantage without the Guaranteed Income Benefit), you agree to be automatically enrolled in the portfolio rebalancing option under your Contract and thereby authorize us to automatically rebalance your Contract Value on a periodic basis. (This portfolio rebalancing will continue while a death claim is being settled, if the Living Benefit Rider could continue on an additional measuring life.) On each quarterly anniversary of the effective date of the rider, we will rebalance your Contract Value in accordance with your allocation instructions in effect at the time of the rebalancing. Any reallocation of Contract Value among the Subaccounts made by you prior to a rebalancing date will become your allocation instructions for rebalancing purposes. Confirmation of the rebalancing will appear on your quarterly statement. If we rebalance Contract Value from the Subaccounts and your allocation instructions do not comply with the Investment Requirements, portfolio rebalancing will be paused, and any subsequent transfer requests will be considered not in Good Order until updated allocation instructions are received. These investments will become your allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise.
Some investment options are not available to you if you purchase certain riders. The Investment Requirements may not be consistent with an aggressive investment strategy. You should consult with your registered representative to determine if the Investment Requirements are consistent with your investment objectives.
For certain Living Benefit Riders, the Subaccounts of your Contract are divided into groups and have specified minimum or maximum percentages of Contract Value that must be in each group at the time you purchase the rider. Please review the Investment Requirements below to determine which Investment Requirements apply to your rider. You can select the percentages of Contract Value to allocate to individual Subaccounts within each group, but the total investment for all Subaccounts within the group must comply with the specified minimum or maximum percentages for that group. We may change the list of Subaccounts in a group, change the number of groups, change the minimum or maximum percentages of Contract Value allowed in a group, change the investment options that are or are not available to you, or change the rebalancing frequency at any time in our sole discretion. For other Living Benefit Riders, we may only make certain Subaccounts available to you, which are listed below.
B-1

For all Living Benefit Riders, we may make Subaccounts unavailable to you at any time in our sole discretion. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change. We may make such modifications at any time when we believe the modifications are necessary to protect our ability to provide the guarantees under these riders. Our decision to make modifications will be based on several factors including the general market conditions and the style and investment objectives of the subaccount investments.
At the time you receive notice of a change to the Investment Requirements, you may:
1.
submit your own reallocation instructions for the Contract Value, before the effective date specified in the notice, so that the Investment Requirements are satisfied; or
2.
take no action and be subject to the quarterly rebalancing as described above. If this results in a change to your allocation instructions, then these will be your new allocation instructions until you tell us otherwise; or
3.
terminate the applicable rider immediately, without waiting for a termination event, if you do not wish to be subject to these Investment Requirements.
