Special Terms
In this initial summary prospectus, the following terms have the indicated meanings:
Access Period—Under i4LIFE® Advantage, a defined period of time during which we make Regular Income Payments to you while you still have access to your Account Value. This means that you may make withdrawals, surrender the Contract, and have a Death Benefit.
Account Value—Under i4LIFE® Advantage, the initial Account Value is the Contract Value on the Valuation Date that i4LIFE® Advantage is effective (or initial Purchase Payment if i4LIFE® Advantage is purchased at contract issue), less any applicable premium taxes. During the Access Period, the Account Value on a Valuation Date equals the total value of all of the Contractowner's Accumulation Units plus the Contractowner's value in the fixed account, reduced by Regular Income Payments and withdrawals.
Annuitant—The person upon whose life the annuity benefit payments are based, and upon whose death a Death Benefit may be paid.
Beneficiary—The person you choose to receive any Death Benefit paid if you die before the Annuity Commencement Date.
Contract—The variable annuity contract you have entered into with Lincoln Life.
Contractowner (you, your, owner)—The person who can exercise the rights within the Contract (decides on investment allocations, transfers, payout option, designates the Beneficiary, etc.). Usually, but not always, the Contractowner is the Annuitant.
Contract Value (may be referred to as Account Value in marketing materials)—At any given time before the Annuity Commencement Date, the total value of all Accumulation Units of a Contract, plus the value of the fixed side of the contract, if any.
Contract Year—Each 12-month period starting with the effective date of the Contract and starting with each contract anniversary after that.
Death Benefit—Before the Annuity Commencement Date, the amount payable to your designated Beneficiary if the Contractowner dies. As an alternative, the Contractowner may receive a Death Benefit on the death of the Annuitant prior to the Annuity Commencement Date.
Enhancement—A feature under certain Living Benefit Riders in which the Protected Income Base will be increased, subject to certain conditions and limitations.
Good Order—The actual receipt at our Home Office of the requested transaction in writing or by other means we accept, along with all information and supporting legal documentation
necessary to complete the transaction. The forms we provide will identify the necessary documentation. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in Good Order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any Good Order requirements at any time.
Interest Adjustment—An upward or downward adjustment on the amount of Contract Value in the fixed account upon a transfer, withdrawal or surrender of Contract Value from the fixed account due to fluctuations in interest rates.
Investment Requirements—Restrictions in how you may allocate your Subaccount investments if you own certain Living Benefit Riders.
Lifetime Income Period—Under i4LIFE® Advantage, the period of time following the Access Period during which we make Regular Income Payments to you for the rest of your life (and Secondary Life, if applicable). During the Lifetime Income Period, you will no longer have access to your Account Value or receive a Death Benefit.
Living Benefit Rider—A general reference to optional riders that provide some type of a minimum income guarantee while you are alive. If you select a Living Benefit Rider, Excess Withdrawals may have adverse effects on the benefit, and you may be subject to Investment Requirements.
Premium Based Charge—An annual charge that applies to all Purchase Payments to your Contract and is payable each year for seven years, deducted quarterly.
Premium Based Charge Period—The period of time in which the Premium Based Charge will be deducted. For each Purchase Payment, the Premium Based Charge will be deducted quarterly for a total of seven years after the date that the Purchase Payment is paid into the Contract.
Premium Based Charge Free Amount—An amount you may withdraw from your Contract in which we will not deduct a portion of the remaining Premium Based Charge from your Contract Value.
Purchase Payments—Amounts paid into the Contract.
Rate Sheet—A prospectus supplement, that will be filed periodically, where we declare the current protected lifetime income fee, Enhancement rate, withdrawal rates under certain Living Benefit Riders.
Subaccount—Each portion of the VAA that reflects investments in Accumulation and Annuity Units of a class of a particular fund available under the contracts. There is a separate Subaccount which corresponds to each class of a fund.

Overview of the Contract
Purpose of the Contract
The Lincoln ChoicePlusSM Fusion variable annuity contract is designed to accumulate Contract Value and to provide income over a certain period of time or for life, subject to certain conditions. The Contract can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income payments during the payout phase. The benefits offered under the Contract may be a variable or fixed amount, if available, or a combination of both. The Contract also offers a Death Benefit payable to your designated Beneficiaries upon the death of the Contractowner or Annuitant.
This Contract may be appropriate if you have a long-term investment horizon. It is not intended for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or intend to engage in frequent trading in the Subaccounts.
Phases of the Contract
Your Contract has two phases: (1) an accumulation (savings) phase, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date; and (2) a payout (income) phase, after the Annuity Commencement Date.
Accumulation (Savings) Phase. To help you accumulate assets during the accumulation phase, you can invest your payments and earnings in:
•
The variable options available under the Contract, each of which has an underlying mutual fund with its own investment objective, strategies, and risks; investment adviser(s); expense ratio; and performance history; and
•
A fixed account option, if available, which guarantees principal and a minimum interest rate.
A list of funds in which you currently can invest is provided in Appendix A: Funds Available Under the Contract.
Annuity (Income) Phase. You can elect to annuitize your Contract and turn your Contract Value into a stream of income payments (sometimes called Annuity Payouts), at which time the accumulation phase of the Contract ends. These payments may continue for a fixed period of years, for your entire life, or for the longer of a fixed period or your life. The payments may also be fixed or variable. Variable payments will vary based on the performance of the funds that you choose.
If you annuitize, your investments will be converted to income payments and you may no longer be able to choose to make withdrawals from your Contract. All benefits (including guaranteed minimum Death Benefits and living benefits) terminate upon annuitization.
However, several Living Benefit Riders offered under the Contract provide lifetime income payments that may be guaranteed, and still allow you to make withdrawals and be eligible for a Death Benefit. Withdrawals that exceed a Protected Income Amount are Excess Withdrawals that will reduce and could eliminate the income payments and other benefits of the rider, including access to a Death Benefit.
Primary Features and Options of the Contract
Accessing your money. During the Accumulation Phase you can surrender the Contract or withdraw part of the Contract Value. If you withdraw early, you may have to pay a surrender charge, an Interest Adjustment may apply and/or you may incur a tax penalty if you are younger than 59½.
Tax treatment. You can transfer money between investment options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. You are taxed only when: (1) you take a withdrawal or surrender; (2) you receive an income payment from the Contract; or (3) upon payment of a Death Benefit.
Death Benefits. Your Contract includes a Death Benefit that will be paid upon the death of either the Contractowner or the Annuitant. Optional Death Benefits that pay different amounts and have different fees may be available.
Optional Living Benefit Riders. For an additional fee, you may be able to purchase one of the Living Benefit Riders listed below. The availability of each rider is subject to state availability. Each rider offers one of the following:
•
a minimum withdrawal benefit:
•
Lincoln ProtectedPay Secure Core®;
•
an Annuity Payout:
•
i4LIFE® Advantage without the Guaranteed Income Benefit.
These Living Benefit Riders provide different methods to take income from your Contract Value or receive lifetime payments and provide certain guarantees. These guarantees are subject to certain conditions, as set forth elsewhere in the prospectus.
There is no guarantee that any Living Benefit Rider (except i4LIFE® Advantage) will be available in the future, as we reserve the right to discontinue them at any time. Excess Withdrawals under certain Living Benefit Riders may result in a reduction or premature termination of those benefits or riders. If you purchase a Living Benefit Rider (except i4LIFE® Advantage without the Guaranteed Income
7
Benefit), you will be required to adhere to Investment Requirements, which will limit your ability to invest in certain Subaccounts offered in your Contract. (These Investment Requirements are explained in Appendix B- Investment Requirements.)
Additional Services. The additional services listed below are available under the Contract for no additional charge (unless otherwise indicated).
•
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) allows you to transfer amounts from the DCA fixed account, if available, or certain Subaccounts into other Subaccounts on a monthly basis or in accordance with other terms we make available.
•
Portfolio rebalancing is an option that restores to a pre-determined level the percentage of Contract Value allocated to each Subaccount.
•
Automatic Withdrawal Service (AWS) provides for an automatic periodic withdrawal of your Contract Value. Withdrawals under AWS are subject to applicable surrender charges and applicable Interest Adjustments (as well as taxes and tax penalties).

Rate Sheets
The current Enhancement rate, Protected Annual Income rates, and Guaranteed Income Benefit percentages available under certain Living Benefit Riders are declared in a Rate Sheet prospectus supplement. The Rate Sheet indicates the current rates and/or current percentages and the date by which your application or rider election form must be signed and dated for a rider to be issued with those rates and/or percentages. The rates and/or percentages may be superseded at any time, in our sole discretion, and may be higher or lower than the rates and/or percentages on the previous Rate Sheet.
The effective date of a subsequent Rate Sheet will be at least 10 days after it is filed. In order to get the rate and/or percentage indicated in a Rate Sheet, your application or rider election form must be sent to us, and must be signed and dated on or after the effective date of the Rate Sheet. Current Rate Sheets will be included with the prospectus. You can also obtain the most current Rate Sheet by contacting your registered representative, online at www.lfg.com/VAprospectus or by calling us at 1-888-868-2583.
Buying the Contract
If you wish to purchase a Contract, you must apply for it through a registered representative authorized by us. The completed application is sent to us and we decide whether to accept or reject it. If the application is accepted, a Contract is prepared and executed by our legally authorized officers. The Contract (and a statement confirming your investments) is then sent to you either directly or through your registered representative. The purchase of multiple contracts with identical Contractowners, Annuitants and Beneficiaries will be allowed only upon Home Office approval.
When a completed application and all other information necessary for processing a purchase order is received in Good Order at our Home Office at The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, PO Box 2348, Fort Wayne, IN 46801-2348, an initial Purchase Payment
9
will be priced no later than two business days after we receive the order. If you submit your application and/or initial Purchase Payment to your registered representative, we will not begin processing your purchase order until we receive the application and initial Purchase Payment from your registered representative’s broker-dealer. While attempting to finish an incomplete application, we may hold the initial Purchase Payment for no more than five business days unless we receive your consent to our retaining the payment until the application is completed. If the incomplete application cannot be completed within those five days and we have not received your consent, you will be informed of the reasons, and the Purchase Payment will be returned immediately. Once the application is complete, we will allocate your initial Purchase Payment within two business days.
Purchase Payments – Investing in the Contract
You may make Purchase Payments to the Contract at any time, prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, subject to certain conditions. You are not required to make any additional Purchase Payments after the initial Purchase Payment. If we receive an additional Purchase Payment before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (typically 4:00 PM New York time, or EST), we will credit your purchase payment that day. If we receive your additional Purchase Payment after the close of the New York Stock Exchange, your payment will be applied on the next business day.
The minimum initial Purchase Payment is $10,000. The minimum for Selling Group Individuals is $1,500. The minimum annual amount for additional Purchase Payments is $300.
For additional Purchase Payments the minimum payment to the Contract at any one time is $100 ($25 if transmitted electronically), and the minimum annual amount is $300. Please check with your registered representative about making additional Purchase Payments since the requirements of your state may vary. If a Purchase Payment is submitted that does not meet the minimum amount, we will contact you to ask whether additional money will be sent, or whether we should return the Purchase Payment to you.
Purchase Payments totaling $2 million or more are subject to Home Office approval. This amount takes into consideration the total Purchase Payments for all variable annuity contracts issued by the Company (or its affiliates) (excluding Lincoln Investor Advantage and Lincoln Level AdvantageSM contracts) for the same Contractowner, joint owner, and/or Annuitant.
If you elect a Living Benefit Rider, you may be subject to further restrictions on your ability to make additional Purchase Payments, as described in the prospectus. These restrictions and limitations will limit your ability to increase your Contract Value and/or increase the amount of any guaranteed benefit under a Living Benefit Rider by making additional Purchase Payments to the Contract.
Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract
Before the Annuity Commencement Date – During the Accumulation (Savings) Phase
You can access the money in your Contract by making a withdrawal, which will reduce the value of your Contract (including the amount of the death benefit and certain living benefits). You may withdraw all or a portion of the Contract Value (minus applicable charges and other adjustments, discussed below). However, withdrawing the entire cash value of your Contract will terminate your Contract.
Before the Annuity Commencement Date, you can completely surrender the Contract or withdraw part of the Contract Value upon your written request on an approved Lincoln distribution request form (available from the Home Office), fax, or other electronic means. Withdrawal requests may also be made by telephone or our website, subject to certain restrictions. All surrenders and withdrawals must be made in accordance with the rules discussed in the prospectus. The amount available upon surrender or withdrawal is the Contract Value less any applicable charges, fees, and taxes at the end of the Valuation Period during which the written request for surrender or withdrawal is received in Good Order at the Home Office.
If we receive a surrender or withdrawal request in Good Order at our Home Office before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., New York time), we will process the request using the Accumulation Unit value computed on that Valuation Date. If we receive a surrender or withdrawal request in Good Order at our Home Office after New York Stock Exchange regular market close, we will process the request using the Accumulation Unit value computed on the next Valuation Date.
The minimum amount which can be withdrawn is $300. Unless a request for withdrawal specifies otherwise, withdrawals will be made from all Subaccounts within the VAA and from the fixed account in the same proportion that the amount of withdrawal bears to the total Contract Value. Surrenders and withdrawals from the fixed account may be subject to an Interest Adjustment. Unless prohibited, surrender and withdrawal payments will be mailed within seven days after we receive a valid written request at the Home Office. The payment may be postponed as permitted by applicable law.
There may be charges associated with surrender of a Contract or withdrawal of Contract Value. You may specify whether these charges are deducted from the amount you request to be withdrawn or from the remaining Contract Value. If the charges are deducted from the remaining Contract Value, the amount of the total withdrawal will increase according to the impact of the applicable Premium Based Charge and/or surrender charge percentage; consequently, the dollar amount of the Premium Based Charge and/or
10
surrender charge associated with the withdrawal will also increase. In other words, the dollar amount deducted to cover the Premium Based Charge and/or surrender charge is also subject to a Premium Based Charge and/or surrender charge.
There are tax consequences for surrenders and withdrawals.
Certain withdrawals may reduce the value of any optional living benefits you elected or even terminate the benefit.
Some optional living benefits provide withdrawal options.
There are limitations associated with taking money out of the Contract, including the following:  
Limitations on withdrawal amounts
•The minimum withdrawal amount is $300.
Surrender charges, Premium Based Charges and taxes
•There may be surrender charges, Premium Based
Charges, Interest Adjustments, and tax implications
when you take out money.
Negative impact on benefits and guarantees of your
Contract
•A withdrawal may have a negative impact on certain
optional benefits that you may elect. It may reduce the
value of or even terminate certain benefits.
Internal Revenue Code or Retirement Plan
•Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue
Code or your retirement plan may restrict your ability
to take withdrawals.
 
After the Annuity Commencement Date – During the Annuity (Income) Phase
After the Annuity Commencement Date, you will receive payments under the annuity payment option you select, but generally you may not take any other withdrawals or surrender your Contract. Surrender or withdrawal rights after the Annuity Commencement Date, if any, depend on the Annuity Payout option selected.

The Premium Based Charge is payable for seven years and is deducted quarterly (0.1750%). We will deduct this charge beginning on the first quarterly contract anniversary after the Purchase Payment is paid into the Contract, continuing for a total of 28 quarterly contract anniversaries. The charge reflected is the maximum charge rate. The Premium Based Charge rate may decrease as total Purchase Payments increase. See Charges and Other Deductions - Premium Based Charge for further information.

If you surrender the Contract, the total remaining Premium Based Charge (if any) will be deducted from your surrender value. If you make a withdrawal above the Premium Based Charge Free Amount, a portion of the total remaining Premium Based Charge will be deducted from your Contract Value at the time of the withdrawal. See Charges and Other Deductions - Premium Based Charge for further information.
3
There is a surrender charge associated with each Purchase Payment. The surrender charge percentage is in effect until the first year after any Purchase Payment. After the first year following a Purchase Payment, the surrender charge is reduced to zero. We may reduce or waive this charge in certain situations. See Charges

During the accumulation phase, the account fee will be deducted from your Contract Value on each contract anniversary, or upon surrender of the Contract. The account fee will be waived if your Contract Value is $50,000 or more on the contract anniversary (or date of surrender). This account fee may be less in some states and will be waived after the fifteenth Contract Year, regardless of your Contract Value.
2
Each base contract expense includes an administrative charge of 0.10%.
3
The current charge for new elections of this rider is disclosed in a Rate Sheet. The rates and/or percentages from previous effective periods are included in an Appendix to this prospectus.
4
As an annualized percentage of the Protected Income Base, as increased for subsequent Purchase Payments, Account Value Step-ups and Enhancements, and decreased by Excess Withdrawals. This fee is deducted from the Contract Value proportionately on a quarterly basis. This same fee applies when transitioning to the appropriate version of i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit.
5
As an annualized percentage of average Account Value, computed daily. This charge is assessed only on and after the effective date of i4LIFE® Advantage and is added to your base contract expense. These charges continue during the Access Period. During the Lifetime Income Period, the i4LIFE® Advantage charge rate of 0.40% is added to the Account Value Death Benefit base contract expense.
6
These charges are added to the i4LIFE® Advantage charges to comprise the total charges reflected. During the Lifetime Income Period, the Guaranteed Income
Benefit charge rate is the base contract expense plus the i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit charge.

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® or i4LIFE® Advantage Guaranteed Income Benefit (Managed Risk), you must allocate your Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Requirements for Managed Risk Riders section below. If you elect any other Living Benefit Rider, you must allocate your Contract Value in accordance with the Investment Requirements for other Living Benefit Riders section below. 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.
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.
B-1
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.
