OVERVIEW OF THE POLICY

This is a brief summary of the Policy’s features. More detailed information follows later in this prospectus.
Purpose
The Policy is an individual flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy offered by the Company. The purpose of the Policy is primarily to provide death benefit protection upon the death of the Insured.
The Policy Value reflects your premium payments, partial surrenders, policy loans, unpaid loan interest policy expenses, interest credited to the Fixed Accounts, and/or investment experience of the Divisions. As a result, the Policy may be appropriate for persons seeking both life insurance protection and the potential for the accumulation of cash values. However, it is not suitable as a short-term investment due to the costs of insurance and the expenses charged.
Premiums
This is a "flexible premium" policy, which means you may choose the amount and frequency of premium payments (subject to certain limitations).
Net Premium payments are allocated to the Fixed Accounts and the Divisions according to your instructions. Each Division invests in a corresponding Underlying Fund. The Underlying Funds are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as open-end management investment companies. It is possible that the investment performance could cause a loss of the entire amount allocated to the Division. A full description of each Underlying Fund, its investment objectives, policies and restrictions, charges and expenses and other operational information is contained in its prospectus. Additional information about each Underlying Fund is provided in APPENDIX - UNDERLYING FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY.
The Internal Revenue Code imposes limits on premiums under the guideline premium/cash value corridor test, as well as to determine whether the policy is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. If you make a premium payment that we determine exceeds one or both of these limits, we reserve the right to only accept that portion of the payment that is within the applicable limit(s).
Payment of insufficient premiums may result in a lapse of the Policy.
Death Benefits/Maturity Proceeds
Under the Policy, the Company guarantees to pay a death benefit for as long as the Policy is in force. The death proceeds are paid to the beneficiary(ies) when the Insured dies. Death proceeds are paid in cash or applied under a benefit payment option elected on the application (or, if no option was selected, Option 1). Subject to certain conditions, the death benefit option may be changed after the Policy has been issued.
If the Policy is in force and the Insured is living on the Policy Maturity Date, we will pay the Owner an amount equal to the Net Surrender Value unless the Extended Coverage Rider is in effect. Maturity proceeds are paid in cash lump sum or applied under a benefit payment option. The Policy terminates on the Policy Maturity Date unless extended by the Extended Coverage Rider.
Surrenders and Withdrawal Options
The Policy may be fully surrendered and any Net Surrender Value paid to the Owner. If the full surrender is within ten years of the Policy Date or a Face Amount increase, a surrender charge is imposed.
7



On or after the first policy anniversary and prior to the Policy Maturity Date, you may surrender a part of the Net Surrender Value. Unscheduled partial surrenders are subject to limitations on the number and amounts you may surrender.
On or after the first policy anniversary and prior to the Policy Maturity Date, you may elect to receive part of your Net Surrender Value automatically on any Monthly Date (known as a "scheduled partial surrender") in the amount and frequency you choose, subject to certain limitations. Once surrenders equal premiums paid, if there is any remaining Net Surrender Value, scheduled policy loans will automatically begin, unless you direct us otherwise.
Loans
A loan may be taken using the Policy as collateral. The maximum loan amount is 90% of the Net Surrender Value. You are charged interest on any Loan Indebtedness.
Transfers
Subject to certain limitations, you may transfer funds among the Divisions and the Fixed Accounts. We also offer Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing. You may incur an additional fee for transfers.
Optional Insurance Benefits
Subject to certain conditions, you may add one or more optional insurance benefits to your Policy, including benefits that accelerate the payment of your death benefit under certain circumstances or help manage the risk of lapse. An additional charge may apply if you elect an optional benefit.
SUMMARY: FEE TABLES

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from the Policy. Please refer to your Data Pages for information about the specific fees you will pay based on the options you have elected. For Policies dated on or after December 15, 2021, we will apply charges in the tables labelled "For Policy Dates on or after December 15, 2021" in all states where approved; otherwise, we apply the charge(s) for Policy Dates before December 15, 2021, regardless of the Policy Date.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY

Risk of Loss; Not a Short-Term Investment
You can lose money by investing in a Policy. Policy charges and surrender charges are among the reasons why the Policy is not intended to be a short-term savings vehicle. It is possible that investment performance could cause a loss of the entire amount allocated to the Divisions. Without additional premium payments or a death benefit guarantee rider, it is possible that no death benefit would be paid upon the Insured’s death.
Policy Termination (Lapse)
On an ongoing basis, the Policy’s Net Surrender Value must be sufficient to cover the Monthly Policy Charges and any Loan Indebtedness. It is possible that poor investment performance could cause the Policy to lapse unless additional premiums are paid. Partial surrenders or policy loans may increase the risk of lapse because the amount of either or both is not available to generate investment return or pay for policy charges. When the Policy lapses, it terminates with no value and no longer provides any life insurance benefit upon the death of the Insured. If your Policy lapses, you can only reinstate it under certain conditions, including making certain payments.
Limitations on Access to Surrender Value
Unscheduled Partial Surrenders
Up to two unscheduled partial surrenders may be made in a Policy Year. The minimum amount of a partial surrender is $500. The total of the amount(s) surrendered may not be greater than 75% of the current Net Surrender Value.
Scheduled Partial Surrenders
Partial surrenders may be scheduled on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual, or annual basis. Each scheduled partial surrender may not be greater than 90% of the Net Surrender Value (as of the date of the scheduled partial surrender).
Full Surrender
If the full surrender is within ten years of the Policy Date or a Face Amount increase, a surrender charge is imposed. Surrender charges are calculated based on the number of years the Policy was in force.
If you reinstate your Policy and then it is fully surrendered, a surrender charge may be imposed. The number of Policy Years is calculated from the original Policy Date through the surrender date - excluding the period during which the Policy was terminated.
Adverse Tax Consequences
A full surrender, cancellation of the Policy by lapse or the maturity of the Policy on its maturity date may have adverse tax consequences. If the amount received by the Owner plus any Loan Indebtedness exceeds the premiums paid into the Policy, then the excess generally will be treated as taxable income.
In certain employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements, participants may be required to report for income tax purposes, one or more of the following:
the value each year of the life insurance protection provided;
an amount equal to any employer-paid premiums; or
some or all of the amount by which the current value exceeds the employer’s interest in the Policy.
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the Policy. Participants should consult with the sponsor or the administrator of the plan and/or with their personal tax or legal adviser to determine the tax consequences, if any, of their employer-sponsored life insurance arrangements. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the Policy is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA), and withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.
There are other tax issues to consider when you own a life insurance policy. These are described in more detail in TAX ISSUES RELATED TO THE POLICY.
Risks of Underlying Funds
A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each Underlying Fund may be found in the Underlying Fund’s prospectus. As with all mutual funds, as the value of an Underlying Fund’s assets rise or fall, the fund’s share price changes. If you sell your Units in a Division (each of which invests in an Underlying Fund) when their value is less than the price you paid, you will lose money.
13



Each Division invests in a corresponding Underlying Fund. The Underlying Funds are NOT available to the general public directly but are available only as investment options in variable life insurance policies or variable annuity contracts issued by life insurance companies and qualified plans. Some of the Underlying Funds have been established by investment advisers that manage publicly available mutual funds having similar names and investment objectives. While some of the Underlying Funds may be similar to, and may in fact be modeled after publicly available mutual funds, the Underlying Funds are not otherwise directly related to any publicly available mutual fund. Consequently, the investment performance of publicly available mutual funds and of any Underlying Fund may differ substantially.
Conflicts of Interest
Investment Professional Compensation
The Company pays compensation to broker-dealers, financial institutions and other parties (“Financial Intermediaries”) for the sale of the Policy according to schedules in the sales agreements and other agreements reached between the Company and the Financial Intermediaries. Such compensation generally consists of commissions on premiums paid on the Policy. The Company and/or its affiliates may also pay other amounts (“Additional Payments”) that include, but are not limited to, marketing allowances, expense reimbursements and education payments. These Additional Payments are designed to provide incentives for the sale and retention of the Policies as well as other products sold by the Company and may influence the Financial Intermediary or sales representative to recommend the purchase of this Policy over competing policies or over other investment options. You may ask your sales representative about these differing and divergent interests and the compensation paid to your representative and such representative's broker-dealer for soliciting applications for the Policy.
Some financial representatives may have a financial incentive to offer a new policy in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange an existing Policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees and risks of both policies, that it is preferable to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own an existing Policy.
Compensation and Underlying Fund Selection
When selecting the Underlying Funds, we consider each such fund’s investment strategy, asset class, manager’s reputation, and performance. We also consider the amount of compensation that we receive from the Underlying Funds, their advisers, sub-advisers, or their distributors, which can be significant. Additionally, we offer certain Underlying Funds at least in part because they are managed by an affiliate.
Compensation We Receive from Underlying Funds
The Company and certain of our affiliates receive compensation from certain Underlying Funds pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. This compensation is paid out of an Underlying Fund’s assets and is as much as 0.25% of the average net assets of an Underlying Funds that are attributable to the variable life insurance products issued by us and our affiliates that offer the particular fund (the Company’s variable contracts). An investment in an Underlying Funds with a 12b-1 fee will increase the cost of your investment.
Compensation We Receive from Underlying Fund Advisors
We and certain of our affiliates also receive compensation from the advisers and sub-advisers to some of the Underlying Funds. We use this compensation for such purposes as paying expenses that we incur in promoting, issuing, distributing and administering the Policy and providing services on behalf of the Underlying Funds in our role as intermediary. Some advisers and sub-advisers pay us more than others; some advisers and sub-advisers do not pay us any such compensation. Such compensation is not reflected in an Underlying Fund's expenses in cases where it is not paid directly out of such fund’s assets, or if it is derived, in whole or in part, from the advisory fee deducted from fund assets. Owners, through their indirect investment in the Underlying Funds, bear the costs of these advisory fees.
14



Other Conflicts of Interest
The Underlying Funds are available to registered separate accounts offering variable annuity and variable life products of other affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies, as well as to the Separate Account and other separate accounts of the Company. Although we do not anticipate any disadvantages to these arrangements, it is possible that a material conflict may arise between the interests of the Separate Account and one or more of the other separate accounts participating in the Underlying Funds. A conflict may occur, for example, as a result of a change in law affecting the operations of variable life and variable annuity separate accounts, differences in the voting instructions of the owners and payees and those of other insurance companies, or some other reason. In the event of a conflict of interest, we will take steps necessary to protect owners and payees, including withdrawing the Separate Account from participation in the Underlying Funds involved in the conflict or substituting shares of other funds.

The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc., which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Group, Inc.
The Company believes that, consistent with well established industry and SEC practice, the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 do not apply to it as the depositor of one or more variable insurance product separate accounts. If such requirements are deemed to apply to it as such a depositor, the Company intends to rely on the exemption from such requirements provided by Rule 12h-7 under that Act.
Principal National Life Insurance Company Variable Life Separate Account
The Separate Account was established under Iowa law on November 28, 2007 and is registered as a unit investment trust with the SEC. This registration does not involve SEC supervision of the investments or investment policies of the Separate Account.
The income, gains, and losses, whether or not realized, credited to or charged against the Separate Account reflect the Separate Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of the Company’s other assets. Assets of the Separate Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of the Company other than those arising from the policies funded by the Separate Account. The Company is obligated to pay all amounts promised to Owners under the Policy.
The Company does not guarantee the investment results of the Separate Account.
The Fixed Account and Fixed DCA Account
The Fixed Account and the Fixed DCA Account are part of our General Account. Because of exemptions and exclusions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fixed Account, the Fixed DCA Account and any interest in them are not subject to the provisions of these acts. As a result the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this prospectus relating to the Fixed Accounts. However, disclosures relating to them are subject to generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. You may obtain more information regarding the Fixed Accounts from our Home Office or from a registered representative.
Our obligations with respect to the Fixed Accounts are supported by our General Account. Subject to applicable law, We have sole discretion over the investment of assets in the General Account.
We guarantee that Net Premiums allocated to the Fixed Accounts accrue interest daily at the following effective annual rates, compounded annually. We may, in our sole discretion, credit interest at a higher rate. We may defer payment of proceeds payable out of the Fixed Accounts for a period of up to six months.
2%, for Policy Dates before December 15, 2021.
1% for Policy Dates on or after December 15, 2021 (in states where approved; otherwise we apply the rate(s) in effect before December 15, 2021 regardless of Policy Date).

The Underlying Funds
The assets of each Division of the Separate Account invest in a corresponding Underlying Fund. The Company purchases and sells fund shares for the Separate Account at their net asset value. The assets of each Division are separate from the others. A Division’s performance has no effect on the investment performance of any other Division.
The Underlying Funds are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as open-end management investment companies. Additional information about each Underlying Fund, including its name, type, investment advisor, current expenses and performance, is provided in APPENDIX - UNDERLYING FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY. A full description of the Underlying Funds is contained in their prospectuses (which should be read carefully before investing). These documents are available without charge on the following website www.principal.com/VULIncome4Report.
Voting Rights
We vote shares of the Underlying Funds owned by the Separate Account according to the instructions of the Owners. We will notify you of shareholder meetings of the Underlying Funds related to the Divisions in which you hold Units. We will send you proxy materials and instructions for you to provide voting instructions to us. We will arrange for the handling and tallying of proxies received from you and other Policy owners. If you give no voting instructions, we will vote those shares in the same proportion as shares for which we received instructions.
We determine the number of fund shares that you may instruct us to vote by allocating one vote for each $100 of Policy Value in the Division. Fractional votes are allocated for amounts less than $100. We determine the number of underlying fund shares you may instruct us to vote as of the record date established by the mutual fund for its shareholder meeting. In the event that applicable law changes or we are required by regulators to disregard voting instructions, we may decide to vote the shares of the Underlying Funds in our own right. Because there is no required minimum number of votes a small number of votes can have a disproportionate effect.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
We make certain charges and deductions to support operation of the Policy and the Separate Account. Some charges are deducted from premium payments when they are received; some charges are deducted on a monthly basis; and some charges are deducted at the time a Policy is surrendered or terminated. These charges are intended to cover distribution expenses (commissions paid to registered representatives, printing of prospectuses and advertising); administrative expenses (processing applications, conducting medical examinations, determining insurability, establishing and maintaining records, processing death benefit claims and policy changes, reporting and overhead); and mortality expenses.
The amount of the charges in any Policy Year may not specifically correspond to the expenses for that year. We expect to recover our total expenses over the life of the Policies. To the extent that the charges do not cover total expenses for a Policy Year, we bear the loss. Conversely, if the aggregate amount of the charges deducted is more than our costs for a Policy Year, the excess is profit to the Company.
Premium Expense Charge (Sales Charge and Taxes)
When we receive your premium payment, we deduct a Premium Expense Charge, that consists of a sales charge and taxes. The sales charge is intended to pay us for distribution and other expenses relating to sales of the Policy, including initial commissions paid to registered representatives, printing of prospectuses and sales literature, and advertising. Deductions from premiums for the Premium Expense Charge equal:
In Policy Year one, the current sales charge is 4.00% of premiums paid. In Policy Years two and later, the sales charge is 2.00% of premiums paid. The total sales charge is guaranteed not to exceed 5.00% of premiums paid.
plus 1.25% (of premiums paid) for federal taxes.
plus 2.00% (of premiums paid) for state and local taxes.(1)
(1)    The actual premium taxes we pay vary from state to state. The expense charge is based on the average tax rate we expect to pay nationwide, the premiums we receive from all states and other expense assumptions. Therefore, Policy Owners could end up paying a higher Premium Expense Charge than their state requires. We bear the risk that actual tax rates will be higher than the maximum charge reflected in the SUMMARY: FEE TABLES section.
The Target Premium is based on the Gender, if applicable, and age of the Insured (see APPENDIX C- TARGET PREMIUM RATES). The Target Premium is a calculated premium amount used to determine the Premium Expense Charge. The Target Premium is not a required premium.

Surrender Charge - Full Surrenders
A surrender charge is imposed upon full surrender of the Policy within ten years of the Policy Date or of a Face Amount increase. In addition, if you reinstate your Policy and then it is fully surrendered, a surrender charge may be imposed. The surrender charge compensates us for expenses relating to the sale of the Policy. The table below shows the maximum and minimum surrender charges.
Surrender Charge - for Policy Dates before 12/15/2021
Maximum
$57.77 per $1,000 of Face Amount
Minimum
$11.75 per $1,000 of Face Amount
Surrender Charge - for Policy Dates on or after 12/15/2021*
Maximum
$57.54 per $1,000 of Face Amount
Minimum$12.48 per $1,000 of Face Amount
*In states where approved; otherwise we apply the rates in effect for Policy Dates before 12/15/2021.
The surrender charge is (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c) where:
(a)    is the applicable rate from APPENDIX A.
(b)    is the Face Amount divided by 1,000.
(c)    is the applicable percentage from APPENDIX B.
Surrender charges vary based on Gender, age at issue or Adjustment, and number of Policy Years since issue or Adjustment. The charge applies only during the first ten Policy Years unless there is a Face Amount increase. A Face Amount increase has its own surrender charge period that begins on the Adjustment Date. The total surrender charge on the Policy is the sum of the surrender charges for the Face Amount at issue and each Face Amount increase. The surrender charge is not affected by any decrease in Face Amount or any change in Face Amount resulting from a change of death benefit options.
The surrender charge on an early surrender or Policy termination is significant. As a result, you should purchase a Policy only if you have the financial capacity to keep it in force for a substantial period of time.
Surrender Charge - Partial Surrenders
No surrender charge is imposed on partial surrenders.
Transfer Fee - Unscheduled Division Transfers
A transfer fee is intended to reimburse us for our additional Separate Account operation expenses related to multiple unscheduled Division transfers.
Current Charge$0
Maximum Charge$25 (each Transfer)
We reserve the right to impose a transfer fee in the future of up to $25 on each unscheduled Division transfer after the first unscheduled Division transfer in a Policy Year. Policy Owners will not be provided prior notice if we begin imposing the transfer fee; however, if imposed, the transfer fee will apply to all Policy Owners in a non-discriminatory fashion.
Illustration Fee
An illustration fee is intended to reimburse us for the additional administrative effort of creating and providing projection numbers.
Current Charge$0
Maximum Charge$25 (each Illustration)
We reserve the right to impose an illustration fee in the future of up to $25 on each illustration after the first illustration in a Policy Year.
17



Monthly Policy Charge
On the Policy Date and each Monthly Date thereafter, we deduct the Monthly Policy Charge, which includes:
Cost of Insurance Charge
Asset Based Charge
Monthly Administration Charge
Monthly Policy Issue Charge 
Optional Insurance Benefit Charges
any additional charges shown on the Data Pages.
The Monthly Policy Charge deduction is made from your Policy Value in the Divisions, Fixed Account and/or Fixed DCA Account (but not your Loan Account) using your current Monthly Policy Charge allocation percentages. Your allocation percentages may be: the same as allocation percentages for premium payments; determined on a Prorated Basis; or determined by any other allocation method upon which we agree. If you do not designate Monthly Policy Charge allocation percentages, the charge will be allocated the same as the allocation percentages for premium payments. For each Division, the Fixed Account and/or Fixed DCA Account, the allocation percentage must be zero or a whole number. The total of the allocation percentages must equal 100. Allocation percentages may be changed without charge. A request for an allocation change is effective once approved by us, as of the next Monthly Date. If we cannot follow your instructions because of insufficient value in any Fixed Account, Fixed DCA Account and/or the Division, the Monthly Policy Charge is deducted on a Prorated Basis.
Cost of Insurance Charge
This charge compensates us for providing insurance protection under the Policy.
Maximum Charge$83.33 per $1,000 of Net Amount at Risk (8.33%)
Minimum Charge$0.01 per $1,000 of Net Amount at Risk
The monthly cost of insurance charge is (a) multiplied by (b) where:
(a)    is the cost of insurance rate (described below) divided by 1,000.
(b)    is the Net Amount at Risk.
We base this charge on several factors including, but not limited to, (i) the Insured’s Gender, issue age, tobacco status, and risk classification, and (ii) our expectations of future investment earnings, expenses, state and federal taxes, mortality and persistency experience, market conditions, and revenue for profit.
Different cost of insurance rates may apply to Face Amount increases. The cost of insurance for the increase is based on the Insured’s Gender, issue age, duration since issue, tobacco status, and risk classification at the time of the increase. The guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rate for the increase is based on the Insured’s Gender, Attained Age and risk classification at the time of the increase.
The Net Amount at Risk is the difference between the death benefit and Policy Value (see GLOSSARY for exact formula). The lower the Policy Value, the higher the Net Amount at Risk thus higher cost of insurance charges. The Net Amount at Risk is affected by investment performance, policy loans, payment of premiums, fees and charges under the Policy, death benefit option chosen, partial surrenders and Face Amount Adjustments.
For entities and other persons buying Policies under a sponsored arrangement that have been granted special underwriting, the cost of insurance charge may increase because of higher anticipated mortality experience. As a result, rates for healthy individuals in a group may be greater under special underwriting programs because they bear a portion of the cost of insuring the less healthy individuals in the group.
Asset Based Charge
The asset based charge compensates us for expenses associated with the maintenance, accounting and recordkeeping of the Divisions of the Separate Account. We currently do not collect an asset based charge. However, we reserve the right to impose an asset based charge but guarantee that the maximum rate will not exceed 0.15% of the value of the Divisions annually.
18



Monthly Administration Charge
This charge reimburses us for the costs of maintaining the Policy, including premium billing and collection, Policy Value calculation, processing claims and other similar matters.
Maximum Charge (All Years)$25.00 per month
Current Charge (Policy Year One)$25.00 per month
Current Charge (After Policy One)$10.00 per month
Monthly Policy Issue Charge
This charge reimburses us for the expenses associated with policy issue, including underwriting and setting up policy records. The Monthly Policy Issue Charge applies per $1,000 of Face Amount and varies by Gender (if applicable), age at issue and Adjustment, duration since issue and Adjustment, tobacco status, and risk classification. Depending upon your Policy Date, the Monthly Policy Issue Charge is:
Monthly Policy Issue Charge
Policy Dates on or after December 15, 2021(1)
Policy Dates before December 15, 2021
Maximum Charge$1.11925 per $1,000 Face Amount$1.01 per $1,000 Face Amount
Minimum Charge$0.06737 per $1,000 Face Amount$0.04 per $1,000 Face Amount
When it appliesApplies in Policy Years, but may decrease beginning in Policy Year 11.Applies in Policy Years, but may decrease beginning in Policy Year 11.
(1)    in states where approved; otherwise we apply the rate(s) in effect before December 15, 2021 regardless of Policy Date
Any Face Amount increase will have its own Monthly Policy Issue Charge (within the minimum and maximum described).
Net Policy Loan Charge
The net policy loan charge represents the difference between the interest charged on the Loan Indebtedness and the interest credited to the Loan Account. See LOANS for more detail.
Current Charge (Policy Year 1-10)1.50% of Loan Indebtedness
Current Charge (After Policy Year 10)0.00% of Loan Indebtedness
Optional Insurance Benefit Charges
For optional insurance benefits that charge a fee, charges are summarized below:
Optional Benefit/RiderCharge for Insureds with a Risk Classification of Standard or Better
Cost of Living Increase
No charge. However, when there is a cost of living increase to the policy Face Amount, the Monthly Policy Charge and surrender charge also will be increased proportionally.
Chronic Illness Death Benefit Advance
There is no charge for the rider if purchased. However, death proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured will be reduced by the amount of the death proceeds advanced. We charge an administrative fee of up to $150 for each death benefit advance.
Life Paid-Up (Overloan Protection)There is no charge for the rider unless the rider benefits commence. If the rider benefits commence, there is a one-time charge guaranteed not to exceed 7.5% of the Policy Value (for policies using the guideline premium test) and 13.5% of the Policy Value (for policies using the cash value accumulation test) that is taken from the Policy Value.
Salary IncreaseFor Insureds with a risk classification of standard or better, the charge for this rider is taken monthly at a monthly rate of $0.13 per $1,000 of rider benefit in excess of $30,000.
Surrender Value EnhancementThe charge for this rider is an added sales charge (independent of the sales charge applicable to all Policies). The charge is guaranteed not to exceed 2.00% on premium paid in excess of Target Premium.
Terminal Illness Death Benefit Advance
No charge. However, death proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured will be reduced by the amount of the death proceeds advanced plus interest charged. Interest charged is at an annual rate of 5.50%. Interest accrues daily and is added to the death benefit advance on the policy anniversary. We may, in the future, charge an administrative fee of up to $150 for each death benefit advance.
Waiver of Monthly Policy ChargeFor Insureds with a risk classification of standard or better, the monthly charge for this rider varies based on the Attained Age, risk classification and gender of the Insured. The monthly charge is guaranteed not to be less than $0.01 nor to exceed $0.51 per $1,000 Net Amount at Risk.
Waiver of Specified PremiumFor Insureds with a risk classification of standard or better, the monthly charge for this rider varies based on the Attained Age, risk classification and gender of the Insured. The monthly charge is guaranteed not to be less than $0.15 nor to exceed $0.94 per $100 of Planned Periodic Premium, respectively.
19



Distribution of the Policy
The Company pays broker-dealers commissions on sales of the Policy of no more than 50% of premiums received in the first Policy Year (or the first year following an Adjustment) up to the Target Premium. In addition, a commission of up to 3.0% of premium above the Target Premium received in the first Policy Year (or first year following an Adjustment) may be paid. In the second through fifteenth years following the Policy Date (or Adjustment Date), commissions range from 0% to 2.0% of premiums received.
Expense allowances may be paid to brokers based on premiums received.
Principal Securities, Inc. ("PSI"), principal underwriter of the product, also may receive 12b-1 fees in connection with the Underlying Funds in the Policies. The 12b-1 fees for the Underlying Funds are shown in the prospectuses of each Underlying Fund.
Applications for the Policies are solicited by registered representatives of PSI or such other broker-dealers as have entered into selling agreements with PSI. Such registered representatives act as appointed agents of the Company under applicable state insurance law and must be licensed to sell variable insurance products. The Company intends to offer the Policy in all jurisdictions where it is licensed to do business and where the Policy is approved.
Payments to Financial Intermediaries
The Company pays compensation to broker-dealers, financial institutions and other parties (“Financial Intermediaries”) for the sale of the Policy according to schedules in the sales agreements and other agreements reached between the Company and the Financial Intermediaries. Such compensation generally consists of commissions on premiums paid on the Policy. The Company and/or its affiliates may also pay other amounts (“Additional Payments”) that include, but are not limited to, marketing allowances, expense reimbursements and education payments. These Additional Payments are designed to provide incentives for the sale and retention of the Policies as well as other products sold by the Company and may influence the Financial Intermediary or registered representative to recommend the purchase of this Policy over competing policies or over other investment options. You may ask your registered representative about these differing and divergent interests, how she/he is personally compensated and how his/her broker-dealer is compensated for soliciting applications for the Policy.
Service Arrangements and Compensation
The Company and/or PSI have entered into agreements with the distributors, advisers and/or the affiliates of some of the mutual funds underlying the Policy and receive compensation for providing certain services including, but not limited to, distribution and operational support services, to the Underlying Fund. Fees for these services are paid periodically (typically, quarterly or monthly) based on the average daily net asset value of shares of each fund held by the Separate Account and purchased at the Policy Owners’ instructions. Because the Company and PSI receive such fees, they may be subject to competing interests in making these funds available as investment options under the Policy. The Company takes into consideration the anticipated payments from Underlying Funds when it determines the charges assessed under the Policy. Without these payments, charges under the Policy are expected to be higher.
Underlying Fund Charges
The assets of each Division are used to purchase shares in a corresponding Underlying Fund at net asset value. The net asset value reflects management fees and operating expenses already deducted from the assets of the Underlying Fund. Current management fees and operating expenses for each Underlying Fund are shown in its prospectus.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY
General Account
The Company's general obligations and any guaranteed benefits under the Policy are supported by our General Account (and not by the Separate Account) and are subject to the Company's claims-paying ability. A Policy Owner should look to the Company's financial strength for its claims-paying ability. Assets in the General Account are not segregated for the exclusive benefit of any particular Policy or obligation. General Account assets are also available to the Company's general creditors and the conduct of its routine business activities, such as the payment of salaries, rent and other ordinary business expenses. For more information about the Company's financial strength, you may review its financial statements and/or check its current rating with one or more of the independent sources that rate insurance companies for their financial strength and stability. Such ratings are subject to change and have no bearing on the performance of the Underlying Funds.

The Contract
The entire contract is made up of applications, amendments, riders and endorsements attached to the Policy, Data Pages, copies of any supplemental applications, amendments, and endorsements which are mailed to you. No statement, unless made in an application, is used to void a Policy (or void an Adjustment in the case of an Adjustment application). Only our corporate officers can agree to change or waive any provisions of a Policy. Any change or waiver must be in writing and signed by an officer of the Company.
The Policy is an individual flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy. This prospectus describes all material provisions of the Policy. Your Policy’s provisions may differ from the description in this prospectus, and certain riders and options may not be available, because of legal requirements or restrictions in the state in which the Policy was issued. The specific variations from the information appearing in this prospectus which are required due to individual state requirements are contained in your Policy, or in riders or endorsements attached to your Policy. You should refer to your Policy for these state specific features.
Rights under the Policy
Ownership
Unless changed, the Owner(s) is as named in the application. The Owner(s) may exercise every right and privilege of the Policy, subject to the rights of any irrevocable beneficiary(ies) and any assignee(s).
All rights and privileges of ownership of a Policy end if:
the death proceeds are paid;
the maturity proceeds are paid;
the Policy is surrendered; or
the grace period ends without our receiving the payment required to keep the Policy in force.
If an Owner dies before the Policy terminates, the surviving Owner(s), if any, succeeds to that person’s ownership interest, unless otherwise specified. If all Owners die before the Policy terminates, the Policy’s ownership interest passes to the Insured. With our consent, you may specify a different arrangement for contingent ownership.
You may change your ownership designation. Your request must be in writing and approved by us. After approval, the change is effective as of the date you signed the request for change. We reserve the right to require that you send us the Policy so that we can record the change.
Beneficiary
If the Insured dies before the Policy Maturity Date, we pay death proceeds to your named beneficiary(ies). You have the right to name a beneficiary(ies) and contingent beneficiary(ies). This may be done as part of the application process or by sending us a Written Request. Unless you have named an irrevocable beneficiary, you may change your beneficiary designation by sending us a Written Request. After approval, the change is effective as of the date you signed the request for change. We reserve the right to require that you send us the Policy so that we can record the change.
If no beneficiary(ies) survives the Insured, the death proceeds are paid to the surviving owner(s) in equal percentages or, if applicable, to the last surviving owner’s estate unless otherwise specified.
Assignment
You may assign your Policy. Each assignment is subject to any payments made or action taken by the Company prior to our notification of the assignment. We assume no responsibility for the validity of any assignment.
An assignment must be made in writing and filed with us at our Home Office. The irrevocable beneficiary(ies), if any, must authorize any assignment in writing. Your rights, as well as those of the beneficiary(ies), are subject to any assignment on file with us.
Limitations on Transfers
After the initial allocation of premiums, You may transfer amounts between the Divisions and/or the Fixed Accounts.
You may request an unscheduled transfer or set up scheduled transfers by:
sending a Written Request to us;
calling us at 1-800-247-9988 (if telephone privileges apply);
faxing us at 1-866-885-0390; or
visiting www.principal.com (if internet privileges apply).
21



You must specify the dollar amount or whole percentage for the transfer. The transfer is made, and the values determined as of the end of the Valuation Period in which we receive your request. In states where allowed, we reserve the right to reject transfer instructions from someone providing them for multiple Policies for which he or she is not the Owner.
You may elect to have automatic transfers made out of one Division into one or more of the other Divisions and/or the Fixed Account. You choose the investment options, the dollar amount and timing of the transfers. There is no transfer fee on scheduled transfers. There is no charge for participation in the scheduled transfer program. Automatic transfers are designed to reduce the risks that result from market fluctuations by spreading out the allocation of your money to investment options over a longer period of time. The success of this strategy depends on market trends and is not guaranteed.
Transfers from your investment in the Fixed Account to your Division(s) are subject to certain limitations. You may transfer amounts by making either a scheduled or unscheduled Fixed Account transfer. You may not make both a scheduled and an unscheduled Fixed Account transfer in the same Policy Year.
You may not make a transfer to the Fixed Account if:
a transfer has been made from the Fixed Account to a Division within six months; or
immediately after the transfer, the Fixed Account value would be more than $1,000,000 (without our prior approval).

Below are additional limitations and requirements for transfers:
Division Transfers:UnscheduledScheduled
Minimum Transfer AmountLesser of $100 or Division valueLesser of $100 or Division value
Transfer Fee and Other LimitationsWe reserve the right to impose a transfer fee on each unscheduled transfer after the first unscheduled transfer in a Policy Year. For purposes of applying the transfer fee for unscheduled Division transfers, we will count all unscheduled Division transfers that occur in any one Valuation Period as one transfer. However, allocations of premium payments will not be counted as unscheduled Division transfers.No charge for participating in the automatic transfer program. The value of the Division must be equal to or more than $2,500 when your scheduled transfers begin. Transfers continue until your interest in the Division has a zero balance or we receive Written Request to stop them. We reserve the right to limit the number of Divisions from which simultaneous transfers are made. In no event will it ever be less than two.
Fixed Account Transfers:UnscheduledScheduled
Number and Timingone unscheduled Fixed Account to Division(s) transfer within the 30-day period following the Policy Date and following each policy anniversaryMonthly basis from the Fixed Account to Divisions.
Minimum Transfer AmountLesser of $100 or Fixed Account value$50
Maximum Transfer Amount25% of Fixed Account Value (unless Fixed Account value is less than $1,000)2% of the Fixed Account value as of the specified date
Transfer Fee and Other LimitationsNo charge.
No charge. The value of your Fixed Account must be equal to or more than $2,500 when your scheduled transfers begin. We reserve the right to change this amount but it will never be more than $10,000. Scheduled transfers continue until your value in the Fixed Account has a zero balance or we receive your Written Request to stop them. If you stop the transfers, you may not start them again until six months after the last scheduled transfer.
You may change the amount of the transfer once each Policy Year. As transfers are made on a monthly basis, a change in the amount of transfer is effective with the scheduled transfer after our receipt of Written Request of the change.
22



Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing (APR)
APR allows you to maintain a specific percentage of your Policy Value in the Divisions over time.
Example:    You may choose to rebalance so that 50% of your Policy Values are in the Money Market Division and 50% in the SmallCap Value I Division. At the end of the specified period, market changes may have caused 60% of your value to be in the Money Market Division and 40% in the SmallCap Value I Division. By rebalancing, Units from the Money Market Division are sold and the proceeds are used to purchase Units in the SmallCap Value I Division so that 50% of the Policy Values are once again invested in each Division.
You may elect APR at the time of application or after the Policy has been issued by:
calling us at 1-800-247-9988 (if telephone privileges apply);
mailing us your Written Request;
faxing us at 1-866-885-0390; or
visiting www.principal.com (if internet privileges apply).
There is no charge for participation in the APR program. The APR transfers:
do not begin until the later of expiration of the examination offer period or the DCA Duration, if applicable;
are done without charge;
may be done on the frequency you specify: quarterly (on a calendar year or Policy Year basis); or semiannual or annual (on a Policy Year basis);
are made at the end of the next Valuation Period after we receive your instruction;
are not available for values in the Fixed Account; and
are not available if you have scheduled transfers from the same Divisions.
Reservation of Rights
We reserve the right to change the Policy to assure it continues to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes. However, we cannot make any guarantee regarding the future tax treatment of any Policy.
We reserve the right to modify or endorse the Policy in order to maintain compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
We also reserve the right to amend or terminate the special plans described in this prospectus; for example, preauthorized premium payments. You would be notified of any such action to the extent required by law.
We reserve the right to make certain changes if, in our judgment, they best serve your interests or are appropriate in carrying out the purpose of the Policy. Any changes are made only to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable laws. Also, when required by law, we will obtain your approval of the changes and approval from any appropriate regulatory authority. Approvals may not be required in all cases.
Examples of the changes we may make include:
transfer assets in any Division to another Division;
add, combine or eliminate Divisions; or
substitute the shares of a Division for shares in another Division:
if shares of a Division are no longer available for investment; or
if in our judgment, investment in a Division becomes inappropriate considering the purposes of the Division.
If we eliminate or combine existing Divisions or transfer assets from one Division to another, you may change allocation percentages and transfer any value in an affected Division to another Division(s) without charge. If we substitute one Underlying Fund for another, you may change your allocations. You may exercise these privileges until the later of 60 days after a) the effective date of the change, or b) the date you receive notice of the options available. You may only exercise these rights if you have an interest in the affected Division(s).
Right to Exchange
During the first 24 months after the Effective Date (except during a grace period), you have the right to make an irrevocable, one-time election to transfer all of your Division and Fixed DCA Account values to the Fixed Account. No charge is imposed on this transfer. The Policy Value immediately after the transfer will be the same as immediately before the transfer. From the exchange date forward, the Policy Value will no longer be affected by the investment performance of the Divisions.
23



Your request must be in writing and be signed by the Owner(s). The request must be postmarked or delivered to our Home Office before the end of the 24-month period. The transfer is effective when we receive your Written Request.
In states where required, during the first 24 months after the Effective Date (except during a grace period), the Policy can be exchanged for a new permanent fixed benefit life insurance policy that we make available that is not term or variable insurance, subject to specified conditions.
Suicide
Death proceeds will not be paid if the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the Policy Date. Instead, we will return all premiums paid, less any Loan Indebtedness, less any partial surrenders. Death proceeds which are a result of a Face Amount increase made under an Adjustment or a rider that requires evidence of insurability will not be paid if the Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the Adjustment Date. Instead, we will return the sum of the Monthly Policy Charges paid for the increased amount of protection.
The length of the suicide period may vary in some states. Any returned amounts noted above will be paid to the beneficiary(ies) of the policy.
Aviation and Hazardous Sports Exclusion Riders
Your Policy may be subject to the Aviation Exclusion Rider or the Hazardous Sports Exclusion Rider. Under these riders, if the Insured dies in an excluded circumstance, we will pay only the Net Surrender Value as of the date of death, even if there is other language in the Policy to the contrary. Excluded circumstances include death as a result of: participating in an excluded hazardous sport specified in the rider; operating, riding in, or descending from aircraft on which the Insured is a pilot or member of the operating crew, is giving or receiving training or instruction, or has other specified assigned duties; or jumping or parachuting from an aircraft.
Delay of Payments or Transfers
Payment due to exercise of your rights under the examination offer provision, surrenders, policy loans, death or maturity proceeds, and transfers to or from a Division are generally made within five days after we receive your instructions in a form acceptable to us. This period may be shorter where required by law. However, payment of any amount upon return of the Policy, full or partial surrender, policy loan, death, maturity or the transfer to or from a Division may be deferred during any period when the right to sell mutual fund shares is suspended as permitted under provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
The right to sell shares may be suspended during any period when:
trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC or when the NYSE is closed for other than weekends and holidays, or
an emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which: disposal by a fund of securities owned by it is not reasonably practicable; it is not reasonably practicable for a fund to fairly determine the value of its net assets; or the SEC permits suspension for the protection of security holders.
If a payment or transfer is delayed and your instruction is not canceled by your Written Request, the transaction will occur on the first Business Day following the expiration of the permitted delay. The transaction is generally made within five days thereafter.
In addition,we reserve the right to defer payment of that portion of your Policy Value that is attributable to a premium payment made by check for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 15 Business Days) to allow the check to clear the banking system.
We may defer payment of proceeds payable out of the Fixed Account and/or Fixed DCA Account for a period of up to six months.
Frequent Trading and Market-Timing (Abusive Trading Practices)
This Policy is not designed for frequent trading or market timing activity of the investment options. If you intend to trade frequently and/or use market timing investment strategies, you should not purchase this Policy. The Company does not accommodate market timing.
24



We consider frequent trading and market timing activities to be abusive trading practices because they:
Disrupt the management of the Underlying Funds by forcing the fund to hold short-term (liquid) assets rather than investing for long term growth, which results in lost investment opportunities for the fund and causing unplanned portfolio turnover;
Hurt the portfolio performance of the Underlying Funds; and
Increase expenses of the Underlying Fund and Separate Account due to increased broker-dealer commissions; and increased recordkeeping and related costs.
If we are not able to identify such abusive trading practices, the abuses described above will negatively impact the Contract and cause investors to suffer the harms described.
We have adopted policies and procedures to help us identify and prevent abusive trading practices. In addition, the Underlying Funds monitor trading activity to identify and take action against abuses. While our policies and procedures are designed to identify and protect against abusive trading practices, there can be no certainty that we will identify and prevent abusive trading in all instances. When we do identify abusive trading, we will apply our policies and procedures in a fair and uniform manner.
If we, or an Underlying Fund, deem abusive trading practices to be occurring, we will take action that may include, but is not limited to:
Rejecting transfer instructions from a Contract owner or other person authorized by the Owner to direct transfers;
Restricting submission of transfer requests by, for example, allowing transfer requests to be submitted by 1st class U.S. mail only and disallowing requests made via the internet, by facsimile, by overnight courier or by telephone;
Limiting the number of unscheduled transfer during a Contract year to no more than 12;
Prohibiting you from requesting a transfer among the Divisions for a minimum of thirty days where there is evidence of at least one round-trip transaction (exchange or redemption of shares that were purchased within 30 days of the exchange/redemption) by you; and
Taking such other action as directed by the Underlying Fund.
The Underlying Funds have reserved the right to accept or reject, without prior written notice, any transfer requests.
In some instances, a transfer may be completed prior to a determination of abusive trading. In those instances, we will reverse the transfer (within two Business Days of the transfer) and return the Contract to the investment option holdings it had prior to the transfer. We will give you notice in writing in this instance,

PREMIUMS
Payment of Premiums
You may make unscheduled premium payments and/or Planned Periodic Premiums. Planned Periodic Premiums are premiums in the amount and on the frequency you plan to pay. We will send premium reminder notices if you establish an annual, semiannual, or quarterly planned payment schedule. You may set up preauthorized withdrawals to allow us to automatically deduct premium payments from your checking or other financial institution account.
The amount and frequency of your premium payments affects the Policy Value, the Net Policy Value, and how long the Policy remains in force. Insufficient premium payments may cause the policy to lapse as described in POLICY TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT.
Premium payments may be delivered to us as follows:
If you have established an annual, semiannual, or quarterly planned payment schedule, by sending payment in the reply envelope enclosed in the premium reminder notice; or
By mailing your payment according to the instructions below.
Premium Payment Mailing Instructions:
Principal National Life Insurance Company
P.O. Box 10431
Des Moines, Iowa 50306-0431
Payments are to be made via personal or financial institution check (for example, a bank or cashier’s check). We reserve the right to refuse any payment that we feel presents a fraud or money laundering risk. Examples of the types of payments we will not accept are cash, money orders, travelers checks, credit card checks, and foreign checks.
Premiums Affecting Guarantee Provisions
No-Lapse Guarantee
Your initial premium must be at least the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium. After the initial premium, you may determine the amount and timing of subsequent premium payments (with certain restrictions); however, we recommend you continue to pay at least the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium. By meeting the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium requirement, your Policy is guaranteed not to terminate during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period even if the Net Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the Monthly Policy Charge.
The No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium is ((a) times (b)) divided by (c) where:
(a)    is the Face Amount divided by 1,000.
(b)    is the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium rate.
(c)    is 12.
The No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium requirement is met if ((a) minus (b)) is greater than or equal to (c) where:
(a)    is the sum of premiums paid.
(b)    is the sum of all Loan Indebtedness and partial surrenders.
(c)    is the sum of the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premiums since the Policy Date to the most recent Monthly Date.
If the no-lapse premium requirement is not met and the Net Surrender Value is insufficient to cover the Monthly Policy Charge, the Policy may terminate in the No-Lapse Guarantee Period.
The No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium rate is per $1,000 of Face Amount and may vary by issue age, risk classification, Gender and tobacco status. The No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium is shown on your Data Pages.
Death Benefit Guarantee
If the Death Benefit Guarantee Rider is made a part of your Policy and you pay at least the Death Benefit Guarantee Premium Requirement, the death benefit guarantee period may last longer (to Age 65) than the No-Lapse Guarantee Period. Generally, a longer death benefit guarantee period will have a higher premium requirement.
The death benefit guarantee monthly premium is ((a) times (b)) divided by (c) where:
(a)    is the Face Amount divided by 1,000.
(b)    is the death benefit guarantee premium rate.
(c)    is 12.
26



Example (For Policy Dates Before December 15, 2021)

Guarantee Monthly Premium
Death Benefit Guarantee to Attained Age 65
$7.21$150.21

*In states where approved; otherwise we apply the rate(s) in effect before December 15, 2021 regardless of Policy Date.
The Death Benefit Guarantee Premium Requirement is met if ((a) minus (b)) is greater than or equal to (c) where:
(a)    is the sum of premiums paid.
(b)    is the sum of all Loan Indebtedness and partial surrenders.
(c)    is the sum of the death benefit guarantee monthly premiums since the Policy Date to the most recent Monthly Date.
If the Death Benefit Guarantee Premium Requirement is not met, the Death Benefit Guarantee Rider will terminate.
The death benefit guarantee premium rate is per $1,000 of Face Amount and may vary by issue age, risk classification, Gender, tobacco status and death benefit option. The death benefit guarantee monthly premium is shown on your Policy.
Premium Limitations
The Internal Revenue Code imposes limits on premiums under the guideline premium/cash value corridor test, as well as to determine whether the policy is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. If you make a premium payment that we determine exceeds one or both of these limits, we reserve the right to only accept that portion of the payment that is within the applicable limit(s) and refund or apply the excess premium as follows:
If we receive such premium payments more than 30 days from the date the applicable limit will increase, we will refund the excess premium payment to you.
If we receive such premium payments within 30 days from the date the applicable limit will increase, we will hold the excess premium payment in a non-interest bearing account and apply it to your policy once the applicable limit increases.
Except for any amount necessary to continue the policy in force, we reserve the right to refund any premium that increases the policy's death benefit by more than it increases the Policy Value. Alternatively, we may require satisfactory evidence of insurability.
The minimum initial premium required is the monthly No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium. There is no minimum amount requirement for subsequent premiums; however, insufficient premium payments may cause the policy to lapse as described above in POLICY TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT - Policy Termination (Lapse).
Allocation of Premiums
In most states, your initial Net Premium (and other Net Premium payments we receive) is allocated to the Divisions, the Fixed Account and/or Fixed DCA Account according to your premium allocation instructions.
In some states, your initial Net Premium (and other Net Premiums we receive prior to and on the Effective Date through twenty days after the Effective Date) is allocated to the Money Market Division at the end of the Business Day we receive the premium in good order. The "Money Market Division" refers to the Fidelity VIP Government Money Market Division throughout this prospectus. The money is reallocated to the Divisions, Fixed Account and/or Fixed DCA Account according to your instructions when this initial period ends (or on the first Business Day thereafter). This transfer will not be subject to any fees, nor will it be deemed a transfer for purposes of identifying market timing activity.
27



NOTE:    We reserve the right to keep the initial premium payment in the Money Market Division longer than 20 days to correspond to a particular state's examination offer periods and/or replacement requirements.
For each Division, Fixed Account and Fixed DCA Account, the allocation percentage must be zero or a whole number. The total of all allocation percentages must equal 100. Net Premium payments are allocated as of the Valuation Period in which they are received in good order. You may change the percentage allocation for future premium payments by:
sending a Written Request to us;
calling us at 1-800-247-9988 (if telephone privileges apply); or
visiting www.principal.com (if internet privileges apply).
Allocation changes are effective at the end of the Valuation Period in which your new instructions are received.
Division Valuation
There is no guaranteed minimum Division value. Its value reflects the investment experience of the Division. It is possible that the investment performance could cause a loss of the entire amount allocated to the Division. Without additional premium payments or a Death Benefit Guarantee Rider, it is possible that no death benefit would be paid upon the Insured’s death.
At the end of any Valuation Period, your value in a Division is:
the number of Units you have in the Division
multiplied by the value of a Unit in the Division.
The number of Units is the total of Units purchased by allocations to the Division from:
your initial premium payment (less Premium Expense Charges); plus
subsequent premium payments (less Premium Expense Charges); plus
transfers from another Division, the Fixed Account or the Fixed DCA Account; plus
Account Value Enhancement, if any.
minus Units sold:
for partial surrenders from the Division;
as part of a transfer to another Division, the Fixed Account or the Loan Account; and
to pay Monthly Policy Charges and any transaction fees.
We calculate Unit values on days that the NYSE is open for trading and trading is not restricted. We do not calculate Unit values on these recognized holidays: New Year’s Day; Labor Day; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day; Thanksgiving; President’s Day; Christmas; Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth and Independence Day. In addition, we do not calculate Unit values if an emergency exists making disposal or valuation of securities held in the Underlying Funds impracticable or if the SEC, by order, permits a suspension or postponement for the protection of security holders.
To calculate the Unit value of a Division, the Unit value from the previous Business Day is multiplied by the Division’s net investment factor for the current Valuation Period. The number of Units does not change due to a change in Unit value.
The net investment factor measures the performance of each Division. The net investment factor for a Valuation Period is calculated as follows:
[{the share price of the Underlying Fund at the end of the valuation
period before that day’s transactions
plus
the per share amount of the dividend (or other distribution) made by the mutual fund during the Valuation Period}
divided by
the share price of the Underlying Fund at the end of the previous Valuation Period after that day’s transactions]
When an investment owned by an Underlying Fund pays a dividend, the dividend increases the net asset value of a share of the Underlying Fund as of the date the dividend is recorded. As the net asset value of a share of an Underlying Fund increases, the Unit value of the corresponding Division also reflects an increase. Payment of a dividend under these circumstances does not increase the number of Units you own in the Division.
28



DEATH BENEFITS AND POLICY VALUES
Death Proceeds
We will pay the death proceeds to the beneficiary(ies) subject to the provisions of the policy, after we receive:
Notice and proof that the Insured died while the policy was in force and before the Policy Maturity Date. Proof of the Insured’s death consists of a certified copy of the death certificate of the Insured.
Sufficient information to determine our liability, the extent of the liability, and the appropriate payee legally entitled to the proceeds; and
Sufficient evidence that any legal impediments to payment of proceeds that depend on the action of parties other than us are resolved. Legal impediments to payment include, but are not limited to: (a) the establishment of guardianships and conservatorships; (b) the appointment and qualification of trustees, executors and administrators; and (c) the submission of information required to satisfy state and federal reporting requirements.
Payment of the death proceeds will be made within seven Business Days of receipt of the required documentation. We pay death proceeds first to the assignee, if any, in a lump sum. We pay the remainder to your named beneficiary(ies) as described below. If no beneficiary(ies) survives the Insured, we will pay the death proceeds to the Owner or the Owner’s estate unless you have given us Written Request otherwise.
We will pay death proceeds according to the benefit payment option (shown below) that you have chosen. If you do not select a benefit payment option, your named beneficiary(ies) may each choose to receive payment in a lump sum or according to a benefit payment option. If your beneficiary(ies) does not choose a benefit payment option, we will pay the death proceeds in a lump sum.
Death proceeds, calculated as of the date of death of the Insured, are A minus B minus C where:
A is the death benefit plus any proceeds from any benefit rider on the Insured’s life;
B is any Loan Indebtedness; and
C, if the Insured’s death occurs during a grace period, is the lesser of any overdue Monthly Policy Charges and, if applicable, the amount required to meet any no lapse provision or Death Benefit Guarantee Premium Requirement.
We pay interest on death proceeds as required by law.
Benefit Payment Instructions
While the Insured is alive, you may give us instructions for payment of death proceeds under one of the fixed benefit payment options shown below. If we have not received written benefit payment instructions from you prior to the Insured’s death, each of your beneficiaries may select either a lump sum distribution or one of the benefit payment options shown below. You may change your benefit payment instructions by sending us Written Request. If you
change your beneficiary(ies) designation, your prior benefit payment instructions are automatically revoked.
Benefit Payment Options
Customized Benefit Arrangement
We will make benefit payments based on arrangements you have requested and we have agreed to in writing; e.g., equal payments made over a specified period of time; joint and survivor life income with a reduced survivor benefit, etc.
Life Income
We will make benefit payments for a person’s lifetime; payments stop after the death of that person. It is possible that we would make no payments if the person were to die before the first payment was due.
Life Income with Period Certain
We will make benefit payments for the longer of a person’s lifetime or a guaranteed period that you specify (must be between 5 to 30 years). If the person dies before all of the guaranteed payments have been made, we will continue to make the guaranteed payments to the person(s) you or your beneficiary designate until the end of the guaranteed period.
29



Joint and Survivor Life Income
We will make benefit payments for the longer of the lifetimes of two named people. Payments stop upon the death of the survivor of the two persons. It is possible that we would make no payments if both persons were to die before the first payment was due.
Joint and Survivor Life Income with Period Certain
We will make benefit payments for the longer of the lifetimes of two named people or a guaranteed payment period that you specify (must be between 5 to 30 years). If both people die before all of the guaranteed payments have been made, we will continue to make the guaranteed payments to the person(s) you or your beneficiary designates until the end of the guaranteed period.
These benefit payment options are also available if the Policy matures or is surrendered.
Death Benefit Options
The death benefit option is selected at the time of application. If a death benefit option is not chosen, the Policy will be issued with Death Benefit Option 1. The three death benefit options available are:
Death Benefit Option 1
The death benefit equals the greater of:
the Face Amount; or
the amount found by multiplying the Policy Value by the applicable percentage*.
Death Benefit Option 2
The death benefit equals the greater of:
the Face Amount plus the Policy Value; or
the amount found by multiplying the Policy Value by the applicable percentage*.
Death Benefit Option 3
The death benefit equals the greater of:
the Face Amount plus the greater of a) premiums paid less partial surrenders and b) zero; or
the amount found by multiplying the Policy Value by the applicable percentage*.
* The applicable percentage tables are in APPENDIX D and are based on our interpretation of Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code as set forth below. The table which applies to your Policy is determined by your choice of either the guideline premium/cash value corridor test or the cash value accumulation test.
Example:    The following assumptions are made to demonstrate the use of the Tables found in APPENDIX D.
Death Benefit Option: 1
Face Amount: $250,000
Policy Value: $150,000
Definition of Life Insurance Test: Guideline Premium/Cash Value Corridor Test Attained Age: 40
Risk Class: Preferred Non-Tobacco
Applicable Percentage:  250%
Death Benefit = $375,000 ($150,000 x 250%)
For Policy Dates before December 15, 2021, if the Definition of Life Insurance Test was the Cash Value     Accumulation Test, the applicable percentage would be 399.00% (assuming the insured is a male) and the death benefit would be $598,500.
For Policy Dates on or after December 15, 2021, if the Definition of Life Insurance Test was the Cash Value Accumulation Test, the applicable percentage would be 219.771% (assuming the insured is a male) and the death benefit would be $329,657 (in states where approved; otherwise we apply the rate(s) in effect before December 15, 2021 regardless of Policy Date).
Change in Death Benefit Option
You may change the death benefit option on or after the first policy anniversary. Up to two changes are allowed per Policy Year. Your request must be made in writing and approved by us. The effective date of the change will be the Monthly Date that coincides with, or next follows, our approval. If the death benefit option change involves a Face Amount decrease, you may elect to keep the current Face Amount, subject to underwriting review and approval.
30



The option may not be changed from Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 3 or from Death Benefit Option 2 to Death Benefit Option 3. We will increase or decrease the Face Amount so that the death benefit immediately after the change equals the death benefit before the change.
Changing from Death Benefit Option 1 to Death Benefit Option 2
We will decrease the Face Amount. The amount of the decrease is equal to the Policy Value on the effective date of the change. If there have been increases in the Face Amount, the decrease of Face Amount will be made on a last in, first out basis. Because the death benefit can continue to increase under Death Benefit Option 2, therefore increasing the Company’s risk, we may require proof of insurability. In addition, cost of insurance charges will likely increase.

We will increase the Face Amount. The amount of the increase is equal to the amount by which the total premiums paid exceed total partial surrenders as of the effective date of the change. Because the death benefit will not continue to increase under Death Benefit Option 1, no proof of insurability is required. Cost of insurance charges will likely decrease. This example assumes total premiums paid are $30,000, total partial surrenders are $10,000.

We will either increase or decrease the Face Amount by subtracting the Policy Value from the greater of a) premiums paid less partial surrenders and b) zero. Because the death benefit can continue to increase under Death Benefit Option 2, therefore, increasing the Company’s risk, We may require proof of insurability. In addition, cost of insurance charges will likely increase. This example assumes that total premiums paid are $30,000, total partial surrenders are $10,000.

Adjustment Options
Increase in Face Amount
You may request an increase provided that the Policy is not in a grace period and Monthly Policy Charges are not being waived under a rider. The minimum increase in Face Amount is $50,000 ($10,000 for special underwriting programs). A Face Amount increase request made during the No-Lapse Guarantee Period will increase the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium for the remainder of the No-Lapse Guarantee Period.
The request must be made on an Adjustment application. The application must be signed by the Owner(s) and the Insured. If your request is not approved, no changes are made to your Policy.
We will approve your request if:
the Attained Age of the Insured does not exceed the maximum age limit that applies to the Policy on a new issue basis; and
the amount of the Face Amount increase is at least the Minimum Face Amount Increase shown on the Data Pages; and
you supply evidence which satisfies us that the Insured is alive and insurable under our underwriting guidelines then in effect; and
the death proceeds less the Policy Value does not exceed our maximum limits as defined under our underwriting guidelines then in effect; and
your policy is not in a grace period; and
the Face Amount after Adjustment is not less than the Minimum Face Amount shown on the Data Pages; and
your Monthly Policy Charges or premiums are not being waived under any rider.
The increase in Face Amount is in a risk classification determined by us. The Adjustment is effective on the Monthly Date on or next following our approval of your request.
If you want insurance coverage to start at the time the adjustment application is submitted, an “adjustment premium” payment must be sent with the completed application. The amount of the adjustment premium is based on the Face Amount of the Policy, issue age, Gender and tobacco status. This amount is shown on the policy illustration provided to you by your registered representative. If this amount is submitted with the application, an adjustment premium conditional receipt will be given to you. The receipt acknowledges the adjustment premium payment and details any interim conditional insurance coverage.
Any adjustment premium payment made in connection with the Adjustment application is held in our General Account without interest (for a period of up to 60 days) while we complete underwriting for the Adjustment. If we approve the Adjustment, on the effective date of the Adjustment, the amount of the adjustment premium payment being held minus the Premium Expense Charge is moved to the Divisions, Fixed Account and/or Fixed DCA Accounts according to your then current premium allocation percentages.
The cost of insurance charge will increase in the event of an increase in a Policy’s Face Amount. If there is insufficient value to pay the higher charges after an increase in Face Amount, the entire Policy (not just the incremental increase in Face Amount) will terminate, unless the no-lapse or death benefit guarantees are in effect.
Decrease in Face Amount
On or after the first policy anniversary, you may request a decrease in the Face Amount. No transaction fee is imposed on decreases in the Face Amount. A decrease in Face Amount lowers the cost of insurance charges but does not reduce surrender charges or the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium requirement. A request for a decrease requires the following:
the request must be made on an Adjustment application;
the application must be signed by the Owner(s);
the Policy is not in a grace period;
Monthly Policy Charges are not being waived under a waiver rider;
the decrease is at least the minimum amount as determined by our underwriting guidelines in place at the time of your request;
the decrease may not reduce the Face Amount below $100,000;
cumulative Face Amount decreases in Policy Years two through five cannot exceed 35% of the Initial Face Amount; and
32



if there have been previous increases in the total Face Amount, the decrease of total Face Amount will be made on a last in, first out basis.
A decrease may not be allowed if the decrease would cause a refund of premium and/or the distribution of the Policy Value in order to maintain compliance with the limits required by the Internal Revenue Code relating to the definition of life insurance.
Policy Values
Your Policy Value is equal to the sum of the values in your Divisions, Fixed Account, Fixed DCA Account and Loan Account. Your Policy Value:
increases as premiums are applied and when interest is credited.
decreases as policy loans, partial surrenders, unpaid loan interest and policy expenses are deducted.
can increase or decrease as the investment experience of your chosen Divisions fluctuates.
may increase due to any Account Value Enhancement amounts credited to your policy.
Account Value Enhancement
The Account Value Enhancement is a Policy Feature that works as a persistency credit beginning in the 11th Policy Year. In Policy Years 11 and later, and provided your policy is not terminated, we may credit your policy with a bonus (i.e., an Account Value Enhancement) on each Monthly Date. The Account Value Enhancement is not guaranteed, and we reserve the right to change or discontinue it at any time and in accordance with applicable law. The Account Value Enhancement, if any, is based on reduced costs in later Policy Years. There is no additional charge for the Account Value Enhancement. The Account Value Enhancement percentage, if any, will be determined on a uniform basis for all policies eligible for an Account Value Enhancement, and any such percentage will be multiplied by your Account Value (your Policy Value excluding any values your policy has in the Loan Account) to determine the amount of your Account Value Enhancement. The annual policy statement we provide to you once each year will indicate the amount of any Account Value Enhancement credited to your policy. We will allocate any Account Value Enhancement according to your most recent premium allocation instructions on file with us.
For more information about how an Account Value Enhancement may impact your Policy, contact your registered representative and request a personalized illustration.
OPTIONAL BENEFITS UNDER THE POLICY

Subject to certain conditions, you may add one or more of the optional insurance benefits summarized in the table below. More information follows the table, and detailed information may be obtained from a registered representative or our Home Office. Not all optional insurance benefits (including those referred to below as "standard") are available to all Owners or in all states, and provisions may vary. Costs of optional insurance benefits are deducted from your Policy Value. See SUMMARY: FEE TABLES for charges.

Change of Insured Rider
This rider is available on business cases only and may be added at any time prior to the proposed Insured’s issue age 69. It allows the business to change the Insured when an employee leaves employment or ownership of the business changes. We must receive satisfactory evidence of insurability (according to our underwriting guidelines then in effect) for the newly named Insured. Future cost of insurance rates are based on the gender, issue age, tobacco status and risk classification of the newly named Insured. Until the effective date of the change of insured application, coverage remains in effect on the life of the prior Insured. The death proceeds are paid when the newly named Insured dies. There is no charge for this rider.
Chronic Illness Death Benefit Advance Rider
This rider, if issued according to underwriting guidelines and state availability, allows you to receive an advance of a portion of the death benefit if the Insured is chronically ill (as defined in the rider). The minimum and maximum amounts available, and any terms, conditions, and limitations, are indicated on your Data Pages and the rider form
34



for your specific state. Receipt of a death benefit advance may be taxable. Before you make a claim for a chronic illness death benefit advance, You should seek assistance from Your personal tax advisor.
There is no charge for this rider; however, if death proceeds are advanced pursuant to the rider, the advance is reduced each year due to early receipt of death proceeds during an applicable chronic illness. There is an administrative fee of up to $150 for each death benefit advance.
Cost of Living Increase Rider
This rider is added automatically to all Policies with a risk classification of standard or better where the Insured’s issue age is 52 or under, unless you elect the Salary Increase Rider. This rider provides increases in the Face Amount every three years, to the Insured’s age 55, without requiring evidence of insurability. There is no charge for adding this rider; however, we will increase the monthly policy charge and surrender charge to cover the costs and charges for any increase in the Face Amount made under this rider. For example, if you have a Policy with a $100,000 Face Amount, and on the third Policy Anniversary the formula for this rider in your Data Pages would allow for a $10,000 Face Amount increase, you could elect to increase your Face Amount at that time to $110,000. Your Monthly Policy Charge and surrender charge would increase, based on a Face Amount of $110,000.
Death Benefit Guarantee Rider
This rider is automatically made a part of the Policy at issue as long as the premium (planned or paid) is equal to or greater than the annual Death Benefit Guarantee Premium Requirement. This rider provides that your Policy will not lapse before Insured’s Attained Age 65 if premiums paid equal or exceed the Death Benefit Guarantee Premium Requirement. The Death Benefit Guarantee Premium Requirement is described in PREMIUMS - Premiums Affecting Guarantee Provisions, and an illustration (available at no charge from your registered representative or our home office) will provide the Death Benefit Guarantee Premium Requirement applicable to your Policy.
If on any Monthly Date, the death benefit guarantee premium is not met, we send you a notice stating the premium required to keep the rider in effect. If the premium required to maintain the rider is not received in our home office before the expiration of the 61 days (which begins when the notice is mailed), the death benefit guarantee is no longer in effect and the rider is terminated. If the rider terminates, it may not be reinstated (except in states where reinstatement is required). The rider may not be added after the Policy has been issued. There is no charge to purchase this rider; however, sufficient premiums are required to be paid in order for the rider benefits to apply.
Life Paid-Up Rider (Overloan Protection)
This rider may be elected at any time prior to the Policy Maturity Date. Under certain circumstances, this rider can guarantee the Policy will not lapse when there is large Loan Indebtedness by converting the Policy to paid-up life insurance. The rider benefit will begin on any Monthly Date the following conditions are satisfied:

the Loan Indebtedness is at least the following percentages of the Surrender Value:
92% current (92% guaranteed) for the guideline premium test; or
90% current (86% guaranteed) for the cash value accumulation test.
there is sufficient Net Surrender Value to cover the one-time rider charge;
the Insured’s Attained Age is 75 years or older;
the Policy has been in force for at least 15 Policy Years; and
premiums paid have been surrendered.
The amount of Loan Indebtedness is stated in the annual policy statement you receive each Policy Year.
Once the rider benefit begins:
All values in the Divisions are immediately transferred to the Fixed Account where they will earn interest.
No further Monthly Policy Charges are deducted for the remaining paid-up death benefit.
No new premium payments, Face Amount Adjustments, partial surrenders or loans are allowed.
If death benefit option 2 or 3 is in effect, your death benefit option will change to death benefit option 1 and you may no longer change the death benefit option.
Your Loan Indebtedness remains and interest will continue to accrue on the Loan Indebtedness. However, loan payments can be submitted.
All optional riders will automatically be terminated.
35



There is a one-time maximum charge of 13.5% of the Policy Value, which is taken from the Policy Value on the date the rider benefit begins. For example, if your Policy Value is $100,000, it will be reduced by $13,500 when the benefit begins. We will send you new data pages reflecting the change. You have the right to reject this change by giving us Notice.
The Internal Revenue Service has not taken a position on the Life Paid-Up rider. You should consult your tax advisor regarding this rider.
Salary Increase Rider
This rider is available on business owned or business sponsored Policies only and may be elected at any time prior to issue. If elected, the Cost of Living Increase Rider is not available. This rider provides increases in the Face Amount, up to the rider benefit amount, based on salary adjustments without requiring evidence of insurability. The rider benefit amount is any amount you select subject to the then current underwriting guidelines. For Insureds with a risk classification of standard or better, the charge for this rider is taken at a monthly rate of $0.13 per $1,000 of rider benefit in excess of $30,000. When exercised, the Monthly Policy Charge and surrender charge will be increased to cover the costs and charges for any increase in the Face Amount made under this rider. For example, if you have a Policy with a $100,000 Face Amount, and the formula for this rider in your Data Pages would allow for a $10,000 Face Amount increase, you could elect to increase your Face Amount at that time to $110,000. Your Monthly Policy Charge and surrender charge would increase, based on a Face Amount of $110,000. Since the rider benefit does not exceed $30,000, there would not be a charge for this rider.
Surrender Value Enhancement Rider
This rider is only available for Policies issued for business cases and approved premium finance cases. Premium financing involves the lending of money, typically by a third party finance entity, to cover the cost of an insurance premium. Policies with the rider must be sufficiently funded as defined in our then current underwriting guidelines. The rider may not be added after the Policy has been issued.
This rider provides for a waiver of a portion of the surrender charges for a limited time. If you fully surrender your Policy within the first seven Policy Years, we will reduce the amount of surrender charge we collect; provided, however, that the full policy surrender is not related to a replacement or exchange. In addition, we may provide an additional amount that is equivalent to a stated percentage of the sum of premiums received less partial surrenders since issue. The additional amount varies by age, gender and risk class of the Insured. The use of this rider disqualifies the use of the Cost of Living Increase Rider and the Salary Increase Rider. If the Policy is issued with the rider, an additional sales charge (independent of the sales charge applicable to all Policies) is imposed on premium paid in excess of Target Premium in the first seven Policy Years. Contact your registered representative to see if this rider is available for your Policy, to obtain more information about the additional sales charges that would apply to you under this rider, and to request a personalized illustration.
Terminal Illness Death Benefit Advance Rider
This rider, if issued according to underwriting guidelines and state availability, allows you to request an advance of a portion of the death benefit if the Insured becomes terminally ill. Up to 75% of the Face Amount, minus any outstanding Loan Indebtedness and previously paid advance benefit, may be requested, up to a maximum of $1,000,000, provided that the Insured has been diagnosed as terminally ill and has a life expectancy of less than 12 months. (The definition of terminal illness may be different in some states.) A lien is placed against the Policy Value and death benefit in an amount equal to the death benefit advance plus interest charged during the advance period. Interest charged on the advance will not exceed 5.50% annually. Interest will accrue daily on the advance at the annual interest rate. Accrued interest is added to the death benefit advance on the policy anniversary and will bear interest. The death proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured will be reduced by the amount of the lien. In addition, we may, in the future, charge a one-time maximum administrative fee of $150.
For example, assume the Insured is terminally ill and elects to request a $40,000 advance. When the Insured dies, the death proceeds are reduced by $40,000 and 5% interest on that amount ($2,000 if the loan was outstanding for one year), accrued as noted above.
Receipt of a death benefit advance may be taxable. Before you make a claim for a death benefit advance, you should seek assistance from your personal tax advisor.
Waiver of Monthly Policy Charges Rider
The rider may be added at any time that the Insured’s Attained Age is not greater than 59. Our approval, under our then current underwriting guidelines, is required to add this rider. This rider pays the Monthly Policy Charges of the
36



Policy if the Insured becomes disabled (as described in the rider) and loses his/her ability to earn an income. There is a charge for this rider and the charge varies based on the Attained Age, risk classification and gender of the Insured. You may obtain more information about the charge that would apply to you by contacting your registered representative or by phoning 1-800-247-9988 and requesting a personalized illustration.
Waiver of Specified Premium Rider
The rider may be added at any time that the Insured’s Attained Age is not greater than 59. Our approval, under our then current underwriting guidelines, is required to add this rider. This rider pays the Planned Periodic Premium on the Policy if the Insured becomes disabled (as described in the rider) and loses his/her ability to earn an income. There is a charge for this rider and the charge varies based on the Attained Age, risk classification and gender of the Insured. You may obtain more information about the charge that would apply to you by contacting your registered representative or by phoning 1-800-247-9988 and requesting a personalized illustration.
SURRENDERS AND PARTIAL SURRENDERS
Surrenders
You must send us a Written Request for any surrender. The request must be signed by all Owners, irrevocable beneficiary(ies), if any, and any assignees. The surrender is effective and the Surrender Value calculated as of the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive the Written Request for surrender. Partial surrenders may negatively affect your no-lapse guarantee provision and your Death Benefit Guarantee Rider, if applicable.
Total and partial surrenders from the Policy are generally paid within five Business Days of our receipt of the Written Request for surrender. Certain delays in payment are permitted (see GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY - Delay of Payments).
Full Surrenders
You may surrender the Policy while the Policy is in effect. If the full surrender is within ten years of the Policy Date or a Face Amount increase, a surrender charge is imposed. There is no refund of any Monthly Policy Charges deducted before the full surrender effective date.
Unscheduled Partial Surrenders
On or after the first policy anniversary and prior to the Policy Maturity Date, you may surrender a part of the Net Surrender Value. Up to two unscheduled partial surrenders may be made during a Policy Year. An unscheduled partial surrender may not be less than $500. The total of your two unscheduled partial surrenders during a Policy Year may not be greater than 75% of the Net Surrender Value (as of the date of the request for the first unscheduled partial surrender in that Policy Year). The unscheduled partial surrender may not decrease the Face Amount to less than $100,000.
Your Policy Value is reduced by the amount of the surrender. Partial surrenders will negatively affect your death benefit and your Death Benefit Guarantee Rider if applicable. We surrender Units from the Divisions and/or values from the Fixed Account to equal the dollar amount of the surrender request. The surrender is deducted from your Division(s) and/ or Fixed Account according to the surrender allocation percentages you specify. If surrender allocation percentages are not specified, the deduction is made using your Monthly Policy Charge allocation percentages. No surrender charge is imposed on an unscheduled partial surrender.
An unscheduled partial surrender may cause a reduction in Face Amount. If the Face Amount had been increased, any reduction of the Face Amount is made on a last in, first out basis.
If the Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect and the death benefit equals the Face Amount, the Face Amount is reduced by the amount of the unscheduled partial surrender that is not deemed to be a preferred partial surrender. In situations where the death benefit is greater than the Face Amount, the Face Amount is reduced by the amount the unscheduled partial surrender exceeds the difference between the death benefit and Face Amount.
Preferred Partial Surrenders (pertains only if Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect)
During Policy Years two through fifteen, 10% of the Net Surrender Value as of the end of the prior Policy Year may be surrendered without a subsequent decrease in the Face Amount. Any amount surrendered in excess of 10% causes a reduction in the Face Amount. The 10% preferred partial surrender privilege is not cumulative from year-to-year and cannot exceed $100,000 in any Policy Year or $250,000 over the life of the Policy.
37



The maximum amount of preferred partial surrenders in a Policy Year is the lesser of ((a) plus (b)) or (c) where:
(a)    is the amount of the unscheduled partial surrender.
(b)    is the amount of any preferred partial surrenders in the same Policy Year.
(c)    is 10% of the Net Surrender Value at the end of the prior Policy Year.
If the Death Benefit Option 2 is in effect, there is no reduction in the Face Amount upon an unscheduled partial surrender.
If the Death Benefit Option 3 is in effect, the Face Amount is reduced by the lesser of (a) or (b) where:
(a)    is the unscheduled partial surrender amount;
(b)    is the greater of (i) the amount that total partial surrenders exceed total premiums paid, or (ii) zero.
Scheduled Partial Surrenders
On or after the first policy anniversary and prior to the Policy Maturity Date, you may elect to receive part of your Net Surrender Value automatically on any Monthly Date.
You select the amount of the surrender and the surrender frequency (annually, semi-annually, quarterly or monthly (based on Policy Year)).
The surrender is deducted from your Division(s) and/or Fixed Account according to your Monthly Policy Charge allocation percentages.
Each scheduled partial surrender may not be greater than 90% of the Net Surrender Value (as of the date of the scheduled partial surrender).
Scheduled partial surrenders will continue until we receive your instructions to stop them or until surrenders equal premiums paid. Once surrenders equal premiums paid, if there is any remaining Net Surrender Value, scheduled policy loans will automatically begin, unless you direct us otherwise, so as to provide you the same dollar amount at the same frequency as you had received under the scheduled partial surrenders.
A scheduled partial surrender may cause a reduction in Face Amount:
If Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect and the death benefit equals the Face Amount:
on the first Monthly Date a scheduled partial surrender is effective (and each subsequent policy anniversary) the Face Amount is reduced.
the amount of the reduction is the sum of the scheduled partial surrenders planned for that Policy Year that are not deemed to be a preferred partial surrender.
If the amount of the scheduled partial surrender is increased, the Face Amount is reduced on the Monthly Date the change is effective. If the amount of the scheduled partial surrender is decreased, the Face Amount is not increased.
If the death benefit is greater than the Face Amount, the Face Amount is reduced by the amount determined above which exceeds the difference between the death benefit and Face Amount.
Preferred Partial Surrenders (pertains only if Death Benefit Option 1 is in effect)
During Policy Years two through fifteen, 10% of the Net Surrender Value as of the end of the prior Policy Year may be surrendered without a subsequent decrease in the Face Amount. Any amount surrendered in excess of 10% causes a reduction in the Face Amount. The 10% preferred partial surrender privilege is not cumulative from year-to-year and cannot exceed $100,000 in any Policy Year or $250,000 over the life of the Policy.
The maximum amount of preferred partial surrenders in a Policy Year is the lesser of ((a) plus (b)) or (c) where:
(a)    is the sum of the scheduled partial surrenders planned for that Policy Year.
(b)    is the amount of any preferred partial surrenders in the same Policy Year.
(c)    is 10% of the Net Surrender Value at the end of the prior Policy Year.
If the Death Benefit Option 2 is in effect, there is no reduction in the Face Amount due to scheduled partial surrenders.
38



If the Death Benefit Option 3 is in effect, the Face Amount is reduced on the first Monthly Date a scheduled partial surrender is effective and on each subsequent policy anniversary. The Face Amount may also be reduced on the Monthly Date any increase to a scheduled partial surrender is effective. The Face Amount is reduced by the lesser of (a) or (b) where:
(a)    is the scheduled partial surrender amounts planned for that Policy Year;
(b)    is the greater of (i) the amount that total partial surrenders exceed total premiums paid, or (ii) zero.
Examination Offer (Free-Look Provision)
It is important to us that you are satisfied with the purchase of your Policy. Under state law, you have the right to return the Policy for any reason during the examination offer period (a “free look”). If you properly exercise your free look, we will rescind the policy and we will pay you a refund. The state in which the Policy is issued determines the examination offer period and the type of refund that applies.
Your premium payments are allocated as described under PREMIUMS – Allocation of Premiums. If you return this Policy before expiration of the examination offer period, we will refund your full premium in states where required. In states where permitted, we will refund the Net Policy Value, which may be more or less than your premium.
Your request to return the Policy must be in writing. The request and the Policy must be mailed to us or returned to the agent no later (as determined by the postmark) than the last day of the examination offer period as shown below.
The examination offer period is the later of:
10 days after the Policy is delivered to you; or
such later date as specified by applicable state law.
NOTE:    See GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY – Delay of Payments.
LOANS
Policy Loans
While your Policy is in effect and has a Net Surrender Value, you may borrow money from us with the Policy as the security for the policy loan.
The maximum amount you may borrow is 90% of the Net Surrender Value as of the date we process the policy loan. The maximum amount you may borrow may be different in some states.
You may request a policy loan of $50,000 or less by calling us at 1-800-247-9988. If you are requesting a policy loan of more than $50,000, your request must be made in writing.
Generally, policy loan proceeds are sent within five Business Days from the date we receive your request (see GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY — Delay of Payments).
Requests for policy loans from any joint Owner are binding on all joint Owners.
Policy loans may negatively affect your no-lapse guarantee provision and your Death Benefit Guarantee Rider, if applicable (see POLICY TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT — Policy Termination (Lapse)).
You are charged interest on any Loan Indebtedness as follows:
For Policy Dates before December 15, 2021, during the first ten policy years, the interest rate is 5.50% per year. After policy year ten, the interest rate is 4.00% per year.
For Policy Dates on or after December 15, 2021, during the first ten policy years, the interest rate is 3.50% per year. After policy year ten, the interest rate is 2.00% per year (in states where approved; otherwise we apply the rate(s) in effect before December 15, 2021 regardless of Policy Date).

Interest accrues daily and is due and payable at the end of the Policy Year. If interest is not paid when due, it is added to the Loan Indebtedness. Adding unpaid interest to the Loan Indebtedness causes additional amounts to be withdrawn from your Fixed Account, Fixed DCA Account and/or Division(s) and transferred to the Loan Account. Withdrawals are made in the same proportion as the allocation used for the most recent Monthly Policy Charge.
A policy loan generally has a permanent effect on Policy Values because borrowed amounts do not reflect the investment experience of the Division(s) or the interest credited to the Fixed Account and Fixed DCA Account. In addition, Loan Indebtedness is subtracted from:
death proceeds at the death of the Insured;
Surrender Value upon full surrender or termination of a Policy; and
maturity proceeds paid.
39



Loan Indebtedness reduces your Net Surrender Value. If the Net Surrender Value is less than the Monthly Policy Charges on a Monthly Date, the 61-day grace period provision applies (see POLICY TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT – Policy Termination (Lapse)).
If the Policy terminates with an outstanding loan balance, there may be negative tax consequences.
Loan Account
When a policy loan is taken, a Loan Account is established. The Loan Account is part of our General Account. An amount equal to the loan is transferred from your Divisions and/or Fixed Account to your Loan Account. You may instruct us on the proportions to be taken from your Divisions or the Fixed Account. There are no restrictions on which Divisions or accounts that the loan amount can be transferred from.
Your loan account earns interest from the date of transfer as set forth below. Interest accrues daily and is paid at the end of the Policy Year. Once credited, interest is nonforfeitable.
For Policy Dates before December 15, 2021, 4.00% of the amount in the Loan Account per year.
For Policy Dates on or after December 15, 2021, 2.00% of the amount in the Loan Account per year (in states where approved; otherwise we apply the rate(s) in effect before December 15, 2021 regardless of Policy Date)
Net Policy Loan Charge
The net policy loan charge represents the difference between the interest charged on the Loan Indebtedness and the interest credited to the Loan Account. The current net policy loan charge is 1.50% of Loan Indebtedness in Policy Years 1-10 and 0.00% of Loan Indebtedness thereafter.
Unscheduled Loans
Unscheduled loans are available in all Policy Years. You may instruct us on the proportions to be taken from your accounts. If you do not provide such instruction, the loan amount is withdrawn in the same proportion as the allocation used for the most recent Monthly Policy Charge.
Scheduled Loans
After the first Policy Year, scheduled policy loans are available on any Monthly Date if you have withdrawn, through partial surrenders, an amount equal to or exceeding total premiums paid. A scheduled loan is the equivalent of a scheduled withdrawal of earnings following the withdrawal of all premiums paid. Scheduled loans may occur on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis (based on the Policy Year). The loan amount is withdrawn from your Divisions in the same proportion as the most recent Monthly Policy Charge.
Loan Payments
While the Policy is in force and before the Insured dies, you may pay the Loan Indebtedness as follows:
policy loans may be repaid totally or in part;
repayments are allocated to the Division(s), Fixed Account and Fixed DCA Account in the proportions used for allocation of premium payments;
payments that we receive that are not designated as premium payments are applied as loan repayments if there is any Loan Indebtedness;
the repayments are allocated as of the Valuation Period in which we receive the repayment; and
repayments are to be sent to our Home Office.
POLICY TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT

Policy Termination (Lapse)
During the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, a Policy will enter a grace period and is at risk of terminating if (i) the Policy does not satisfy the “no-lapse guarantee test” described below and (ii) the Net Surrender Value on any Monthly Date is less than the Monthly Policy Charge.
After the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, a Policy will enter a grace period and is at risk of terminating if the Net Surrender Value on any Monthly Date is less than the Monthly Policy Charge.
During a grace period, as described below, you may pay the minimum required premium to keep your Policy in force. A Policy will terminate if you have not paid the minimum required premium before the grace period expires.
40



The Policy also terminates:
when you make a full Policy surrender;
when death proceeds are paid; and
when the maturity proceeds are paid.
When the Policy terminates, all privileges and rights of the Owner(s) and all optional insurance benefits will end. Subject to certain conditions, you may reinstate a policy that has terminated, as described below.
No-Lapse Guarantee Test
During the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, a Policy will not enter a grace period if it meets the “no-lapse guarantee test,” even if the Policy’s Net Surrender Value is insufficient to meet the Monthly Policy Charge. A Policy satisfies the no-lapse guarantee test if ((a) minus (b)) is greater than or equal to (c), where:
(a)    is the sum of the premiums paid.
(b)    is the sum of all Loan Indebtedness and partial surrenders.
(c)    is the sum of the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premiums since the Policy Date to the most recent Monthly Date.
The no-lapse guarantee does not protect the Policy beyond the No-Lapse Guarantee Period. After the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, there is no guarantee that your Policy will stay in force even if you make premium payments under your Planned Periodic Premium schedule unless:
Your Policy’s Net Surrender Value is at least equal to the Monthly Policy Charge on the current Monthly Date; or
the Death Benefit Guarantee Rider is in effect.
Grace Period
If a policy is at risk of terminating, we will send you notice of a 61-day grace period during which you can pay the minimum required premium to keep your Policy in force. This grace period begins on the date we mail the notice of impending policy termination to you. The notice will be sent to your last post office address known to us and will tell you the amount of the minimum required premium to avoid termination of your Policy, payment instructions and the grace period end date. Your Policy will remain in force during the grace period. If we do not receive the minimum required premium payment by the end of the grace period, your Policy will terminate without value.
No partial surrenders, Face Amount Adjustments, or policy loans may be made during a grace period.
Minimum Required Premium
During the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, the minimum required premium is the lesser of the cumulative premium shortfall or the Net Surrender Value shortfall, each set forth below.
The cumulative premium shortfall is the amount of premium necessary for the Policy to satisfy the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium requirement. The cumulative premium shortfall is equal to ((a) minus (b)) plus (c) where:
(a) is the cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premiums due at the start of the grace period.
(b) is the amount equal to all premiums paid minus the sum of the Loan Indebtedness and partial surrenders.
(c) is three No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premiums.
The Net Surrender Value shortfall is the amount of premium necessary to (i) reimburse us for the Monthly Policy Charges during the grace period and (ii) provide enough Policy Value to pay the Monthly Policy Charge on the first Monthly Date after the grace period. The Net Surrender Value shortfall is equal to ((a) plus (b)) divided by (c) where:
(a) is the amount by which the surrender charge is more than the Net Policy Value at the start of the grace period after the Monthly Policy Charge is deducted.
(b) is three Monthly Policy Charges.
(c) is 1 minus the Guaranteed Maximum Premium Expense Charge percentage.
After the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, the minimum required premium is the Net Surrender Value shortfall described above.
If the grace period ends before we receive the minimum required premium, we keep any remaining value in the Policy to cover past due Monthly Policy Charges. Adverse market fluctuations may cause the Policy to enter into subsequent grace periods.
41



The length of the Grace Period and/or the calculation for the minimum required premium may be different in some states.
Death During Grace Period
If the Insured dies during a grace period, we will pay the death benefit to the beneficiary(ies). The amount of the death benefit will be reduced by: all Monthly Policy Charges due and unpaid at the death of the Insured; and any Loan Indebtedness.
Reinstatement
Subject to certain conditions, you may reinstate a Policy that terminated as described in POLICY TERMINATION AND REINSTATEMENT - Policy Termination (Lapse). The Policy may be reinstated provided all of the following conditions are satisfied:
such reinstatement is prior to the Policy Maturity Date;
you have not surrendered the Policy;
not more than three years have elapsed since the Policy terminated (this time period may vary by state);
you supply evidence which satisfies us that the Insured is alive and is insurable; 
you either repay or reinstate any Loan Indebtedness existing at termination; and
you make the minimum required reinstatement premium as described below.
Minimum Required Premium
During the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, the minimum required premium is the lesser of the cumulative premium shortfall or the Net Surrender Value shortfall, each set forth below.
The cumulative premium shortfall is the amount of premium necessary for the Policy to satisfy the No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premium requirement following expiration of the grace period. The cumulative premium shortfall is ((a) minus (b)) plus (c) where:
(a)    is the cumulative No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premiums due at the end of the grace period.
(b)    is the amount equal to all premiums paid minus the sum of the Loan Indebtedness and partial surrenders.
(c)    is three No-Lapse Guarantee Monthly Premiums.
The Net Surrender Value shortfall is the amount of premium necessary to (i) reimburse us for the Monthly Policy Charges during the grace period and (ii) provide enough Policy Value to pay the Monthly Policy Charge for three Monthly Dates after the grace period. The Net Surrender Value shortfall is ((a) plus (b)) divided by (c) where:
(a)    is the amount by which the surrender charge is more than the Net Policy Value at the end of the grace period after the Monthly Policy Charge is deducted.
(b)    is three Monthly Policy Charges.
(c)    is 1 minus the Guaranteed Maximum Premium Expense Charge percentage.
After the No-Lapse Guarantee Period, the minimum required premium is the Net Surrender Value shortfall described above.
NOTE:    The minimum required premium during a grace period and the minimum required premium to reinstate a policy are calculated differently. The minimum required premium for reinstatement is calculated so as to allow us to recover Monthly Policy Charges due and unpaid during the grace period and to provide enough Policy Value to pay three Monthly Policy Charges after reinstatement of the Policy. As a result, the minimum required premium for reinstatement will be higher than the minimum required premium for grace period.
Reinstatement will be effective on the next Monthly Date following the date we approve the reinstatement application. your rights and privileges as Owner(s) are restored upon reinstatement. The reinstated Policy will have the same Policy Date as the original Policy.
If a policy loan or loan interest was unpaid when the Policy terminated, the policy loan must be reinstated or repaid (loan interest does not accrue over the period the Policy was terminated). We do not require payment of Monthly Policy Charges during the period the Policy was terminated.
Premiums received with your reinstatement application are held in our General Account without interest while we complete underwriting for the reinstatement. If the reinstatement is approved, premiums are allocated to your selected Division(s), Fixed Account and/or Fixed DCA Account on the reinstatement date. We will use the premium allocation percentages in effect at the time of termination of the Policy unless you provide new allocation instructions.
42



If you reinstate your Policy and then it is fully surrendered, a surrender charge may be imposed. The surrender charge, if any, is calculated based on the number of years the Policy was in force. The period of time during which the Policy was terminated is not included in these calculations.
In most states, if you reinstate your Policy, the Death Benefit Guarantee Rider, the Life Paid-Up Rider, and the Surrender Value Enhancement Rider are not reinstated.
TAX ISSUES RELATED TO THE POLICY
The following description is a general summary of the tax rules pertaining to life insurance policies. This section relates primarily to federal income taxes rules, regulations and interpretations, which in our opinion are currently in effect but which are subject to change at any time. This summary is not comprehensive and is not intended as tax advice. While we reserve the right to change the Policy to assure it continues to qualify as life insurance for tax purposes, we cannot make any guarantee regarding the future tax treatment of any Policy.
NOTE:    Due to the complexity of these rules and because they are affected by the facts and circumstances of each Policy, you should consult with legal and tax counsel and other competent advisors regarding these matters.
IRS Definition of Life Insurance
The Policy should qualify as a life insurance contract as long as it satisfies either the guideline premium/cash value corridor test or the cash value accumulation test as defined under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. One of these tests is chosen on the application. If a test is not chosen, the Policy will comply with the guideline premium/cash value corridor test. Once a test is chosen, it cannot be changed on the Policy.
The guideline premium/cash value corridor test places limitations on the amount of premium payments that may be made and on Policy Values that can accumulate relative to the death benefit. Guideline premium limits are determined when the Policy is issued and can vary by the death benefit option chosen. Guideline premium limits will likely change due to any Adjustment to the Policy.
If you make a premium payment that we determine exceeds the current guideline premium limits under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702, we reserve the right to apply or refund the payment as described under “Premium Limitations.”
The cash value accumulation test does not place limitations on the amount of premium payments but limits the amount of Policy Values that can accumulate relative to the death benefit.
To satisfy either test, the ratio of the death benefit to the Policy Value must be at least as great as the applicable percentage shown in APPENDIX D. As the Policy Value increases, the minimum death benefit may be required to increase. Because the cost of insurance you pay is based in part on the amount of the death benefit, an increase in the death benefit increases the cost of insurance.
As compared to the cash value accumulation test, the guideline premium/cash value corridor test generally has:
smaller applicable percentages
lower minimum death benefit
lower cost of insurance charges
better Policy Value growth.
The smaller applicable percentages lead to a lower minimum death benefit and thus lower cost of insurance charges. Lower charges result in better Policy Value growth.
This may not be the result in all cases. The specifics of each Policy determine which test is more suitable. Illustrations using each of the tests will help you determine which test meets your objectives. An illustration may be obtained from your registered representative or by calling 1-800-247-9988.
The table below demonstrates the minimum death benefit based on the test chosen.
For Policy Dates before December 15, 2021
The example below is based on the following:
The Insured is a male with an Attained Age of 40 at the time the Policy was issued. He dies at the beginning of the sixth Policy Year (Attained Age 45).
Face Amount is $100,000.
43



Death Benefit Option 1.
Policy Value at the date of death is $25,000.
The minimum death benefit under the guideline premium/cash value corridor test is $53,750 (assuming an applicable percentage of 215% x Policy Value).
The minimum death benefit under the cash value accumulation test is $94,720 (assuming an applicable percentage of 379%).

$100,000$94,720$74,835.11

Here’s the same example, but with a Policy Value of $75,000. Because the Policy Value has increased, the minimum death benefit is now:
$161,250 for the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.
$284,160 for the cash value accumulation test.

For Policy Dates on or after December 15, 2021 (in states where approved; otherwise we apply the rate(s) in effect before December 15, 2021 regardless of Policy Date)
The example below is based on the following:
The Insured is a male with an Attained Age of 40 at the time the Policy was issued. He dies at the beginning of the sixth Policy Year (Attained Age 45).
Face Amount is $100,000.
Death Benefit Option 1.
Policy Value at the date of death is $25,000.
The minimum death benefit under the guideline premium/cash value corridor test is $53,750 (assuming an applicable percentage of 215% x Policy Value).
The minimum death benefit under the cash value accumulation test is $50,398 (assuming an applicable percentage of 201.591%).

Here’s the same example, but with a Policy Value of $75,000. Because the Policy Value has increased, the minimum death benefit is now:
$161,250 for the guideline premium/cash value corridor test.
$151,193 for the cash value accumulation test.
The death benefit payable
is the larger of these two amounts

$100,000$161,250$86,116.35
Cash Value Accumulation Test
$100,000$151,193$76,067.93
Keep in mind that cost of insurance charges, which affect your Policy’s value, increase with the amount of the death benefit, as well as over time. The cost of insurance is charged at a rate per $1,000 of the Net Amount at Risk. As the Net Amount at Risk increases, the cost of insurance increases. Policy Value also varies depending on the performance of the investment options in your Policy.
All transactions will be subject to the limits as defined under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. A transaction may not be allowed, or an increase in Face Amount may be required, if the transaction would cause a refund of premium and/or distribution of the Policy Value in order to maintain compliance with the Section 7702 limits.
Taxation of Death Proceeds
Under Section 101(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, gross income does not include amounts received under a Policy if such amounts are paid by reason of the death of the insured. However, if the Policy is transferred for valuable consideration, then a portion of the death proceeds may be includable in the beneficiary’s gross income under Section 101(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under Section 101(g) of the Internal Revenue Code, certain amounts received under a Policy on the life of an insured who qualifies as a terminally or chronically ill individual can be excluded from gross income as an amount paid by reason of the death of the insured.
For employer-owned life insurance on the life of an insured who is an employee, the death benefit amount excluded from gross income is limited to the premiums and other consideration paid for the life insurance if the employer is directly or indirectly a beneficiary under the Policy unless certain requirements are met. These requirements are provided in Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code and would include notice and consent by the insured of the life insurance coverage prior to the issuance of the coverage. These rules generally apply to employer-owned life insurance issued or materially changed on or after August 17, 2006.
Taxation of Maturity Proceeds
A taxable event may occur if the Net Surrender Value at maturity plus any Loan Indebtedness is greater than premiums paid less partial surrenders and premium refunds. The taxable amount is the difference between the Surrender Value and the remaining premiums in the policy.
Taxation of Growth in Policy Value
Any increase in Policy Value is not included in gross income while the Policy is in-force and continues to meet the definition of life insurance as defined under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code. If a contract does not meet the definition of life insurance, the Owner will be subject to income tax on annual increases in cash value.
Taxation of Policy Surrenders and Partial Surrenders (including Preferred Partial Surrenders)
A surrender or termination of the Policy may have income tax consequences. Upon surrender, the Owner(s) is not taxed on the Surrender Value except for the amount, if any, that exceeds the gross premiums paid less the untaxed portion of any prior surrenders. The amount of any Loan Indebtedness, upon surrender or termination, is added to the Net Surrender Value and treated, for this purpose, as if it had been received. A loss incurred upon surrender is generally not deductible. The tax consequences of a surrender may differ if the proceeds are received under any benefit payment option.
A full surrender of the Policy will, and a partial surrender may, be included in your gross income to the extent that the distribution exceeds your investment in the Policy. Partial surrenders generally are not taxable unless the total of
45



such surrenders exceeds total premiums paid to the date of partial surrender less the untaxed portion of any prior partial surrenders. If within the first fifteen Policy Years you make a partial surrender with a corresponding reduction in the Face Amount, special rules apply. Under those circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code has defined a special formula under which you may be taxed on all or a portion of the surrender amount.
The increase in Policy Value of the Policy is not included in gross income unless and until there is a full surrender or partial surrender under the Policy. A full surrender of the Policy will, and a partial surrender may, be included in your gross income to the extent the distribution exceeds your investment in the Policy. Transfers between the Division(s) Fixed Account and/or Fixed DCA Account are not considered as distributions from the Policy and would not be considered taxable income.
Taxation of Policy Loans and Loan Interest
If the Policy is not a modified endowment contract, loans received under the Policy are not generally considered to be distributions subject to tax. Interest paid to us as a result of a policy loan may or may not be deductible depending on a number of factors.
If the Policy is a modified endowment contract, loans received under the Policy are considered to be distributions subject to tax. The taxable amount is generally the difference between the Policy Value and your investment in the Policy at the time the loan is made.
If the Policy terminates with an outstanding loan balance, there may be tax consequences.
Taxation of Change of Owner
Transfer of ownership may have tax consequences to the Owner. The sale of a life insurance policy may have different income tax consequences than the cash surrender of such policy. The purchaser of a policy via a reportable policy sale is required to provide certain information to the issuer, seller/payment recipient and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under Section 6050Y of the Internal Revenue Code. Please consult with your tax advisor before changing ownership of your life insurance policy.
Taxation of Change of Insured
For tax purposes, changing the Insured is considered to be the same as a surrender of the policy. The taxable amount is generally the difference between the Policy Value and your investment in the Policy.
Modified Endowment Contract Status
A Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract when premiums paid exceed certain premium limits as defined by Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code. There is no change regarding the tax-deferred internal build-up of Policy Value or the income tax-free death benefit to your beneficiary(ies), however, distributions from a Modified Endowment Contract are taxed as if the Policy is a deferred annuity. Thus, taxation on partial surrenders, policy loans and other defined distributions will occur if your Policy Value is greater than your premiums paid. In addition, taxable distributions are subject to a federal income tax penalty of 10% unless the distribution is
made after the Owner attains age 59½; or
attributable to the taxpayer becoming disabled (as defined in Section 72(m)(7)); or
part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (made not less frequently than annually) made for the life or life expectancy of the taxpayer or the joint lives or joint life expectancy of the taxpayer and beneficiary.
Once a Policy is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract, the classification cannot be changed. Modified endowment contract classification may be avoided by limiting the amount of premiums paid under the Policy. If you make a premium payment that we determine would cause your policy to be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702A, we reserve the right to apply or refund the payment as described under “Premium Limitations.”
Taxation of Exchange or Assignment of Policies
An exchange or assignment of a Policy may have tax consequences. Please consult with your tax advisor before exchanging or assigning your life insurance policy.
Special Considerations for Life Insurance Owned by a Business Entity
Section 264 of the Internal Revenue Code imposes numerous limitations on the interest and other business deductions that may otherwise be available to businesses that own life insurance policies. In addition, the premium paid by a business for a life insurance policy is not deductible as a business expense or otherwise if the business is directly or indirectly a beneficiary of the policy.
46



Other Tax Issues
Federal estate taxes and state and local estate, inheritance and other taxes may become due depending on applicable law and your circumstances or the circumstances of the policy beneficiary(ies) if you or the Insured dies.
Withholding
Federal withholding is generally required on certain taxable distributions under insurance contracts. In the case of periodic payments, the withholding is at graduated wage withholding rates. With respect to non-periodic distributions, withholding is a flat rate of 10%. You may elect to have either non-periodic or periodic payments made without withholding except if your tax identification number has not been furnished to us or if the IRS has notified us that the number you furnished is incorrect. Non-resident aliens are subject to 30% withholding (or a lower treaty rate) on taxable distributions.
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), we will be required to withhold a 30% tax on taxable distributions to certain foreign entities that fail to comply with new reporting and withholding requirements designed to inform the U.S. Department of the Treasury. We may disclose the information we receive from policy owners to the IRS, non-U.S. taxing authorities or other parties as necessary to comply with FATCA. Withholding also may be required if a policy owner that is a foreign entity fails to provide us with appropriate certifications or other documentation concerning its status under FATCA.
Mutual Fund Diversification
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has adopted regulations under Section 817(h) of the Internal Revenue Code which establishes standards of diversification for the investments underlying the contracts. Under this Internal Revenue Code section, Separate Account investments must be adequately diversified in order for the increase in the value of contracts to receive tax-deferred treatment. In order to be adequately diversified, the portfolio of each Underlying Fund must, as of the end of each calendar quarter or within 30 days thereafter, have no more than 55% of its assets invested in any one investment, 70% in any two investments, 80% in any three investments and 90% in any four investments. Variable life insurance Separate Accounts are provided a special diversification exemption when investing in U.S. Treasury securities.
Failure of an Underlying Fund to meet the diversification requirements could result in tax liability to contract holders. The investment opportunities of the Underlying Funds could conceivably be limited by adhering to the above diversification requirements.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Purchase Procedures
A completed application and required supplements must be submitted to us through an agent or broker selling the Policy.
The minimum Face Amount when the Policy is originally issued is $100,000. We reserve the right to increase or decrease the minimum Face Amount. The increased minimum Face Amount would apply only to Policies issued after the effective date of the increase.
To issue a Policy, we require that the age of the Insured be 85 or younger as of the Policy Date. Other underwriting restrictions may apply. An applicant for the Policy must:
furnish satisfactory evidence of insurability of the Insured; and
meet our insurance underwriting guidelines and suitability rules.
If you want insurance coverage to start at the time the application is submitted, you must send a payment with your completed application. The amount is based on the Face Amount of the Policy, issue age, Gender, and tobacco status. This amount is shown on the policy illustration provided to you by us or your registered representative. If this amount is submitted with the application, a conditional receipt will be given to you. The receipt acknowledges the initial payment and details any interim conditional insurance coverage.
We reserve the right to reject any application or related premium if we determine that we have not received complete information and/or instructions or that our underwriting guidelines, suitability rules or procedures have not been met. Any premium submitted will be returned to the designated owner on the application no later than five Business Days from the date the application was rejected.
47



Important Information about Customer Identification Procedures
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to verify your identity. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.
If concerns arise with verification of your identification, no transactions will be permitted while we attempt to reconcile the concerns. If we are unable to verify your identity within 30 days of our receipt of your initial premium payment, the account(s) will be closed and redeemed in accordance with normal redemption procedures.
We do not knowingly sell policies that are for the benefit of a business/organization that is illegal under Federal and/or State law (such as a marijuana clinic), or a person who owns or receives income from such an entity or whose source of funds is illegal.
Policy Date
Your Policy Date is shown on the Data Pages.
Upon specific request and our approval, your Policy may be backdated. The Policy Date may not be more than six months prior to the date of application (or shorter period if required by state law). Payment of at least the Monthly Policy Charges is required for the backdated period. Monthly Policy Charges are deducted from the Policy Value for the backdated period.
Effective Date
The Policy Date and the Effective Date are the same unless a backdated Policy Date is requested. Insurance coverage is effective, provided all purchase requirements for the Policy have been satisfied.
If the proposed Insured dies before the Effective Date, there is no coverage under the Policy (coverage is determined solely under the terms of the conditional receipt, if any).
Special Purchase Plans
Where permitted by state law, Policies may be purchased under group or sponsored arrangements as well as on an individual basis. A group arrangement is a program under which a trustee, employer, or similar entity purchases Policies covering a group of individuals on a group basis. A sponsored arrangement is a program under which an employer permits group solicitation of its employees or an association permits group solicitation of its members for the purchase of Policies on an individual basis.
Charges and deductions may be reduced for Policies purchased under a group or sponsored arrangement including waiver of premium sales load and waiver of surrender charge. Reductions may be available to:
employees, officers, directors, agents, and immediate family members of the group or sponsored arrangement; and
employees of agents of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Reductions are made under our rules in effect on the date a Policy application is approved and are based on certain criteria (size of group, expected number of participants, anticipated premium payments, total assets under management for the group or sponsored arrangement).
Generally, the sales contacts and effort, administrative costs and mortality cost per Policy vary based on the size of the arrangement, the purpose for which the Policies are purchased, and certain characteristics of the members. The amount of the reduction and the criteria for reducing the charges and deductions reflect: a) our reduced sales effort and administrative costs; and b) the different mortality experience expected from sales to group or sponsored arrangements.
We may modify, on a uniform basis, both the amounts of reductions and the criteria for qualification. Reductions in these charges will not discriminate unfairly against any person, including the affected Owners and all other Policy Owners with policies funded with the Separate Account.
Statement of Values
You receive an annual statement at the end of each Policy Year. The statement will show:
beginning and end dates of the current statement period;
the death benefit at the end of the statement period;
the Policy Value at the beginning and end of the statement period;
48



the Surrender Value, if any, at the end of the statement period;
all premiums paid during the statement period;
all charges deducted during the statement period;
any Loan Indebtedness at the end of the statement period;
any partial surrenders made during the statement period;
any investment gain or loss during the statement period; 
total value of each of your Divisions, the Fixed DCA Account and the Fixed Account as of the statement period;
if applicable, a notice that the policy may terminate without value before the end of the next statement period unless additional premiums are paid (assuming guaranteed interest, mortality and expense loads, and premium charges); and
any other information required to be included in the statement under state or federal law.
You will also receive a statement as of the end of each calendar quarter. After the first Policy Year, you may annual request, without charge, an illustrative report of your Policy. We may charge a reasonable fee, not to exceed $50, for any additional requests. We also send you the reports required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended).
Services Available via the Internet and Telephone
If you elect to use internet and/or telephone privileges, instructions for the following transactions may be given to us via the internet or telephone:
change in allocations of future premium payments;
change in allocation of the Monthly Policy Charge;
change to your APR instructions;

unscheduled transfers; and
policy loan (not available via the internet) (loan proceeds are mailed to the Owner’s address of record).
If the Policy is owned by a trust, an authorized individual (with the proper password) may use these services and provide us with instructions. Your instructions:

Although neither the Separate Account nor the Company is responsible for the authenticity of telephone transaction or internet requests, the Separate Account and the Company reserve the right to refuse telephone and/or internet orders. You are liable for a loss resulting from a fraudulent telephone or internet order that we reasonably believe is genuine. We use reasonable procedures to assure instructions are genuine. If the procedures are not followed, we may be liable for loss due to unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. The procedures for telephone instructions include: recording all telephone instructions, requesting personal identification information (name, phone number, social security number, birth date, etc.) and sending written confirmation to the Owner’s address of record. The procedures for internet include requesting the same personal identification information as well as your password, logging all internet activity and sending written transaction confirmations to the Owner’s address of record.
Misstatement of Age or Gender
We will adjust the death benefit if the age, or gender where applicable, of the Insured has been misstated. The adjusted death benefit will be equal to the death benefit that would have been purchased at the Insured’s correct age, or gender where applicable, of the Insured using the most recent cost of insurance rate charge and adjusting the Net Amount at Risk by the ratio of the incorrect cost of insurance rate to the correct cost of insurance rate.
49



Non-Participating Policy
The Policies do not share in any divisible surplus of the Company.
Incontestability
With respect to material misstatements made in the initial application(s) for the policy, we will not contest the policy after the policy has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the Policy Date. With respect to material misstatements made in any subsequent application(s) for additional coverage or reinstatement application(s), we will not contest the additional coverage or reinstated coverage resulting from such application(s) after the additional coverage or reinstated coverage has been in force during the lifetime of the Insured for two years from the date of the Adjustment or reinstatement. The time limits in this Incontestability provision do not apply to fraudulent misrepresentations, when permitted by applicable law in the state where the policy is delivered or issued for delivery.

APPENDIX - UNDERLYING FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY
The following is a list of Underlying Funds currently available under the Policy, which is subject to change. Before you invest, you should review the prospectuses for the Underlying Funds, as may be amended from time to time. These prospectuses contain more information about the Underlying Funds and their risks. You can find the prospectuses and other information about the Underlying Funds online at www.principal.com/VULIncome4Report. You can also request this information at no cost by calling 1-800-247-9988 or by sending an email request to lifeinsurance@principal.com.
The current expenses and performance information below reflects fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds, 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 charges were included. Each Underlying Fund’s past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance.
Some of the Underlying Funds are “funds of funds.” A fund of funds is a mutual fund that invests primarily in a portfolio of other mutual funds. Operating expenses shown for a fund of funds include the fees and expenses that such fund incurs indirectly as a result of investing in other funds. More detail about the risks of investing in a fund of funds is available in such fund’s prospectus.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY
The Company
Principal National Life Insurance Company (the “Company”) is the issuer of the Principal Variable Universal Life Income IV Insurance Policy (the “Policy”). The Company is a stock life insurance company with its home office at: Principal Financial Group, 711 High Street, Des Moines, Iowa 50306-0431. It is authorized to transact life insurance business in the District of Columbia and in every state except New York. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc. (“PFS”), which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Group, Inc.
The Progressive Corporation (“Progressive”), an Ohio corporation, organized the Company on November 6, 1967, as an Ohio domiciled life insurance company. PFS acquired control of the Company from Progressive pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated August 22, 2003. PFS subsequently redomesticated the Company to Iowa and on October 21, 2003, changed the Company’s name from Progressive American Life Insurance Company to Principal Health Insurance Company. PFS originally intended to use the Company to sell group medical insurance and to provide third party administrative services to self-insured customers. However, PFS never used the Company for these purposes. PFS eventually determined that the best strategic use of the Company would be to offer and sell individual life insurance products. On October 16, 2007, PFS changed the Company’s name to Principal National Life Insurance Company to reflect this change in purpose.
Principal National Life Insurance Company Variable Life Separate Account
The Company’s board of directors established the Variable Life Separate Account (the “Separate Account”) under Iowa law on November 28, 2007. It is registered as a unit investment trust with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This registration does not involve SEC supervision of the investments or investment policies of the Separate Account.
All of the units of the Separate Account are owned by the Company. Policy owners may purchase units of the divisions of the Separate Account.
Administrative and Facilities Services
Principal Life Insurance Company (“PLIC”) provides administrative support services and facilities to the Company. PLIC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc. and an affiliate of the Company. PLIC’s address is 711 High Street, Des Moines, Iowa, 50306-0431.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Ernst & Young LLP, 801 Grand Avenue, Suite 3100, Des Moines, Iowa, 50309, serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company.
UNDERWRITERS
The principal underwriter of the Policy is Principal Securities, Inc. ("PSI"), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc. and an affiliate of the Company. PSI’s address is Principal Securities, Inc., 655 9th Street, Des Moines, IA 50392. PSI was incorporated in Iowa in 1968, and is a securities broker-dealer registered with the SEC as well as a member of the Financial Institutions Regulatory Authority. The Policies may also be sold through other broker-dealers authorized by PSI and applicable law to do so.
The Policy’s offering to the public is continuous. As the principal underwriter, PSI is paid for the distribution of the Policy. For the last three fiscal years PSI has received and retained the following commissions:
2023

PERFORMANCE DATA
The Separate Account may publish advertisements containing information (including graphs, charts, tables and examples) about the performance of one or more of its divisions.
The Separate Account may publish advertisements containing information about the hypothetical performance of one or more of its divisions for this Policy as if the Policy had been issued on or after the date the underlying mutual fund in which such division invests was first offered. Possible differences in the methods used in calculating yield and total return should be considered when comparing the Separate Account performance figures to performance figures published for other products.
The Separate Account may also quote rankings, yields or returns published by independent statistical services or publishers and information regarding performance of certain market indices.
From time to time, the Separate Account or an underlying fund may advertise the “yield” and “effective yield” of a money market division or of the underlying fund in which it invests. Both yield figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. The “yield” of the division refers to the income generated in the division over a seven day period (the period will be stated in the advertisement). This income is then “annualized.” That is, the amount of income generated during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage. The “effective yield” is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned in the division is assumed to be reinvested. The “effective yield” is slightly higher than the “yield” because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment. Neither yield quotation reflects a sales load deducted from purchase payments which, if included, would reduce the “yield” and “effective yield.” For the period ended December 31, 2023, the 7-day annualized and effective yields of the Fidelity VIP Government Money Market Division were 5.05% and 5.05%, respectively.
The Separate Account also advertises the average annual total return of its various divisions. The average annual total return for any of the divisions is computed by calculating the average annual compounded rate of return over the stated period that would equate an initial premium of $1,000 to the ending redeemable policy value.
The performance information does not include any charges or fees that are deducted from your Policy. These are charges and fees such as the sales charge, charge for taxes, surrender charges, transfer fees (if any), cost of insurance charge, asset based charge, monthly administrative charge, monthly policy issue charge, policy loan interest charge (if any), and charges for optional insurance benefits. Some of these charges vary depending on your age, gender, face amount, underwriting class, premiums, policy duration, and account value. All of these policy charges will have a significant impact on your Policy’s value and overall performance. If these charges and fees were reflected in the performance data, performance would be lower. To see the impact of these charges and fees on your Policy’s performance, you should obtain a personalized illustration based on historical underlying mutual fund performance from your financial adviser.
Any performance data quoted for the Separate Account represents historical performance and is not intended to indicate future performance.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APPENDIX A - Principal National Life Insurance Company - Variable Life Separate Account Financials

A-1


Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors of Principal National Life Insurance Company and Contract Owners of Principal National Life Insurance Company Variable Life Separate Account

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the subaccounts listed in the Appendix that comprise Principal National Life Insurance Company Variable Life Separate Account (the “Separate Account”), as of December 31, 2023, the related statements of operations and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2023, the results of its operations and changes in its net assets for each of the periods indicated in the Appendix, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of the subaccounts’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2023, by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents, as applicable. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Ernst & Young LLP
We have served as the Separate Account’s auditor since 2010.

Notes to Financial Statements

Investments

Investments are stated at the closing net asset value (“NAV”) per share on December 31, 2023. Realized capital gains (losses) on sales of investments are determined on the basis of specific identification under the first-in, first-out method. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Dividends and realized gains (losses) on investments are recognized on an accrual basis as of the ex-dividend date and are automatically reinvested in shares of the funds on the payable date.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

Level 1 – Fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 – Fair values are based on at least one significant unobservable input for the asset or liability.

All investments of the open-end management investment companies listed above represent investments in mutual funds for which a daily NAV is calculated and published. Therefore, all investments are reflected in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

2. Expenses and Related Party Transactions

Principal National is compensated for the following expenses and charges:
Principal® Variable Universal Life Income III contracts - Asset based charges assumed by Principal National are compensated for by a monthly charge equivalent to an annual rate of 0.15% of the asset value of each policy through the tenth policy year. The current administrative charge is $25 per month during the first policy year. After the first policy year, the administration charge is $10 per month. A cost of insurance charge, which is based on Principal National’s expected future mortality experience, is deducted as compensation for insurance charges. All charges are assessed through the redemption of units. A sales charge of 4.25% of premiums paid up to target premium is deducted from each payment on behalf of each participant during the first policy year.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, investment advisory and management fees were paid indirectly to Principal Global Investors, LLC (“Manager”) (wholly owned by Principal Financial Services, Inc.) in its capacity as advisor to Principal Variable Contracts Funds, Inc. A portion of the management fee is paid by the Manager to the sub-advisor of each of the Accounts, some of which are affiliates of the Manager. The annual rate paid by the SAM Portfolios is based upon the aggregate average daily net assets (“aggregate net assets”) of the SAM Portfolios. The investment advisory and management fee schedule for the SAM Portfolios is 0.25% of aggregate net assets up to the first $1 billion and 0.20% of aggregate net assets over $1 billion. The Principal LifeTime Accounts do not pay investment advisory and management fees.

(1)These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the division from the underlying mutual fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the division is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the divisions invest. These ratios are annualized for periods less than one year.
(2)These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the divisions, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contractholder accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund are excluded.
(3)These amounts represent the total return for the years indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. For purposes of the total return calculation the beginning unit value is typically equal to an investment option with a similar expense structure and if no such similar investment option exists, a beginning unit value of ten would typically be used. The total return is calculated for the year indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Total returns have not been annualized for periods less than one year. These percentages represent the range of total returns available as of the report date and correspond with the expense ratio lowest to highest.

APPENDIX B - Principal National Life Insurance Company Financials




B-1


Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Stockholder
Principal National Life Insurance Company
Opinion
We have audited the statutory-basis financial statements of Principal National Life Insurance Company (the Company), which comprise the statutory-basis statements of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations and capital and surplus and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").
Unmodified Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, on the basis of accounting described in Note 1.
Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter described in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.
B-2


Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company prepared these financial statements using accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services of the State of Iowa, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The effects on the financial statements of the variances between these statutory accounting practices described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material and pervasive.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by Insurance Division of the Department of Insurance and Financial Services of the State of Iowa. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
B-3


In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

Principal National Life Insurance Company
Note to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements
December 31, 2023
1.Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies Description of Business
Principal National Life Insurance Company is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Services, Inc. (“PFS”), which in turn is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Principal Financial Group, Inc. (“PFG”), our ultimate parent. We are a life insurance company licensed in 49 states selling traditional term, universal life, variable universal life and indexed universal life insurance products. As of September 30, 2021, we narrowed our focus to the business market and ceased sales to the retail consumer market.
Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices and procedures of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) as prescribed or permitted by the State of Iowa.

The Insurance Division of the Department of Insurance & Financial Services of the State of Iowa (“Iowa Insurance Division”) recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Iowa for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company and for determining its solvency under the Iowa Insurance Law. The NAIC’s Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual has been adopted as a component of prescribed practices by the State of Iowa. The Commissioner of Insurance (the “Commissioner”) has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from the prescribed practices.
The more significant differences between statutory accounting practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), are as follows:
Investments in bonds are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on their designation from the NAIC for statutory purposes. For U.S. GAAP purposes, such investments in fixed maturities are designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity investments in fixed maturities are reported at amortized cost. The remaining investments in fixed maturities are reported at fair value with the unrealized holding gains and losses reported in net income for those designated as trading and as a separate component of equity for those designated as available-for-sale.
The costs of acquiring and renewing certain business are charged to net income as incurred for statutory purposes rather than deferred and amortized on a constant level basis over the expected life of the related contracts for U.S. GAAP purposes.
Policy reserves on traditional term life insurance products for statutory purposes are based on prescribed mortality, morbidity, and interest rates. Additionally, policies issued on or after January 1, 2020, use VM-20: Requirements for Principle-Based Reserves for Life Products (“VM-20”) for statutory purposes. The VM-20 net premium reserves are based on prescribed assumptions and the deterministic reserve uses prudent estimate assumptions and interest scenario. These may differ from reserves based on the present value of expected future policy benefit payments less the present value of expected net premiums computed for issue year cohorts using assumptions for mortality, interest, morbidity and lapse used for U.S. GAAP purposes.
Policy reserves on interest sensitive universal life, variable universal life and indexed universal life insurance products for statutory purposes are based on prescribed mortality, morbidity, lapse (for some universal life secondary guarantee reserves) and interest rates. Additionally, policies issued on or after January 1, 2020, use VM- 20 principle-based reserves for statutory purposes. The VM-20 net premium reserves are based on prescribed assumptions and the deterministic and stochastic reserves use prudent estimate assumptions and interest/equity scenarios. This differs from the full account values under U.S. GAAP.
Reinsurance amounts are netted against the corresponding policyholder receivable or payable balances for statutory purposes rather than shown as gross amounts on the statements of financial position under U.S. GAAP.
B-8

Principal National Life Insurance Company
Note to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements-(continued)
December 31, 2023
For statutory purposes, the deferred tax asset (“DTA”), net of any valuation allowance established for the DTA not yet realizable, is limited to (1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse during a timeframe corresponding with Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, plus (2) the lesser of the remaining gross DTA expected to be realized within three years of the date of the statement of financial position or 15% of capital and surplus excluding any net DTA, electronic data processing equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus (3) the amount of remaining gross DTA that can be offset against the existing gross deferred tax liability (“DTL”). The remaining DTA is non-admitted. Under U.S. GAAP, a DTA is recorded for the amount of gross DTA expected to be realized in future years, and a valuation allowance is established for the DTA not realizable. All changes in the gross DTA and DTL are recorded directly to unassigned surplus for statutory purposes. Certain changes to the DTA and DTL, including changes in tax rates, are reported directly to net income under U.S. GAAP.
Under a formula determined by the NAIC, we defer in the Interest Maintenance Reserve (“IMR”) the portion of realized gains and losses on sales (net of federal income tax) of fixed maturities investments, principally bonds, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortize those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in net income net of federal income taxes and transfers to the IMR for statutory purposes rather than reported in net income in the period the gain or loss occurs under U.S. GAAP.
Declines in the value of investments due to noninterest related risk are provided for through the establishment of an Asset Valuation Reserve (“AVR”), which is carried as a liability. The reserve is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes charged directly to unassigned surplus. The reserve is not recognized for U.S. GAAP.
Certain assets designated as “non-admitted assets” have been charged directly to unassigned surplus for statutory purposes rather than being reported as assets, as applicable, under U.S. GAAP.
For statutory purposes, revenues for universal life, variable universal life and indexed universal life-type policies with mortality or morbidity risk consist of premiums received and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under U.S. GAAP, revenues consist of policy charges for the cost of insurance, policy initiation and administration, surrender charges and other fees that have been assessed against policy account values. Amounts received as payments for such contracts are not reported as premium revenue under U.S. GAAP.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the statutory-basis financial statements and accompanying notes. It also requires disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Included among the material (or potentially material) reported amounts and disclosures that require extensive use of estimates are the fair value of certain invested assets, policy and contract liabilities and income taxes.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
In connection with the preparation of our statutory-basis statements of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of one year or less when purchased to be short-term investments, and all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash includes cash on hand.
Investments
Investments in bonds are reported at amortized cost computed using the constant yield method, or fair value based on their NAIC designation and adjusted for other-than-temporary declines in fair value. Additionally, certain loan-backed and structured securities qualify to be reported at fair value as determined by methods identified in the Purposes and Procedures Manual of the NAIC Investment Analysis Office. For the loan-backed and structured securities included in the bond portfolio, we recognize income using a constant effective yield based on security specific facts that may include expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity, prepayment speeds as determined by external or internal estimates and the expected maturity of the securities. Significant changes in estimated cash flows from the original purchase assumptions are primarily accounted for using the retrospective method for those loan-backed and structured securities that are of high credit quality and using the prospective method for those loan-backed and structured securities that are not of high credit quality. See Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for policies related to the determination of fair value.
Net realized capital gains and losses on the sale of investments are determined using the specific identification basis.
Other invested assets are valued as prescribed by the State of Iowa Insurance laws.

Principal National Life Insurance Company
Note to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements-(continued)
December 31, 2023
The AVR provides a reserve for noninterest related gains and losses (net of federal income taxes) from investments in bonds with related increases or decreases being recorded directly to unassigned surplus. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the AVR was $656,569 and $670,572, respectively.
The IMR primarily defers certain interest-related gains and losses (net of federal income taxes) on fixed income investments, which are amortized into net income over the estimated remaining lives of the investments sold. When in a net deferred interest related loss position, the IMR is reported as an asset. When in a net deferred interest related gain position, the IMR is reported as a liability. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the IMR liability was $565,422 and $873,495, respectively.
Other Admitted Assets
Other admitted assets are valued as prescribed by the State of Iowa Insurance Laws.
Reserves for Insurance
The reserves for life policies, developed by actuarial methods, are established and maintained on the basis of mortality and morbidity tables using assumed interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than the minimum valuation required by law or guaranteed policy cash values.
Reserves on substandard policies are calculated based on multiples of valuation mortality tables for substandard table ratings and adjustments to valuation mortality for flat extra substandard ratings, with various interest rates.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had $3,915,783,402 and $5,156,970,902, respectively, of direct insurance in force for which the gross premiums were less than the net premiums according to the standard valuation set by the State of Iowa.
Deduction of deferred fractional premiums is waived upon death and portions of premium beyond the date of death are refunded. Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification.
Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released and tabular cost have been determined either by formula or the basic data for the calculation of policy reserves, depending on type of coverage.
Recognition of Premium Revenues and Costs
Life insurance premiums are recognized as revenues over the premium-paying period. Commissions and other costs applicable to the acquisition of new and renewal business are charged to net income as incurred.
Reinsurance
We reinsure certain of our risks with an affiliate, Principal Life Insurance Company (“Principal Life”). See Note 2, Related Party Transactions, for additional details. Reinsurance premiums, expenses and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies issued and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. We are contingently liable with respect to reinsurance ceded to other companies in the event the reinsurer is unable to meet the obligations it has assumed.
Separate Account
The Separate Account assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements represent the fair market value of funds that are separately administered by us for contracts with equity investments. The contract owner, rather than us, bears the investment risk of these funds. The Separate Account assets are legally insulated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any of our other business. An equivalent amount is reported as Separate Account liabilities, which represents the obligation to return monies to the contract owner. We receive fees for mortality, withdrawal and expense risks, as well as administrative, maintenance and investment advisory services.
Separate Account assets and liabilities are disclosed in the aggregate in the statements of financial position. The statements of operations include the net effect of the premiums, increases in reserves, benefits and other items arising from operations of the Separate Accounts.

The tax sharing agreement was reviewed and approved by the Iowa Insurance Division pursuant to the Iowa Insurance Holding Company Act. We are taxed at corporate rates on taxable income based on existing tax laws. Current income taxes are charged or credited to net income based upon amounts estimated to be payable or recoverable as a result of taxable operations for the current year. Deferred taxes are provided for the tax effect of temporary differences between the financial reporting and income tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating and capital losses using enacted income tax rates and laws. All changes in the gross DTA and DTL are recorded in unassigned surplus. The effect of a change in tax rates on the DTA and DTL is recognized in surplus in the period in which the change is enacted.

Cash Advance Agreement
We are a party to a cash advance agreement with PFS, which allows us to pool our available cash with other affiliates in order to more efficiently and effectively invest our cash. The cash advance agreement allows (i) us to advance cash to PFS in aggregate principal amounts not to exceed $20,000,000, with such advanced amounts earning interest at the secured overnight financing rate plus ten basis points (the “Internal Crediting Rate”); and (ii) PFS to advance cash to us in aggregate principal amounts not to exceed $20,000,000, with such advance amounts paying interest at the Internal Crediting Rate to reimburse PFS for the costs incurred in maintaining short-term investing and borrowing programs. Under this cash advance agreement, we had a receivable of $7,822 and $23,874 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During 2023 and 2021, we earned interest income of $277,035 and $16,901, respectively, related to the cash advance agreement. During 2022, we incurred interest expense of $42,992 related to the cash advance agreement.

Note to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements-(continued)
December 31, 2023
We invest in privately placed bonds to enhance the overall value of the portfolio, increase diversification and obtain higher yields than are possible with comparable quality public market bonds. Generally, private placements provide broader access to management information, strengthened negotiated protective covenants, call protection features and, where applicable, a higher level of collateral. They are, however, generally less liquid because of restrictions imposed by federal and state securities laws.

Proceeds from sales of investments (excluding call and maturity proceeds) in bonds were $0, $10,047,211 and $1,997,894 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Gross gains of $0, $0 and $7,013 and gross losses of $0, $1,387,077 and $0 in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, were realized on those sales.
We recognize impairment losses for bonds and other assets when declines in value are other-than-temporary. Recoveries on previously impaired assets are primarily recognized at the time of sale. During 2023, 2022 and 2021, we did not record any realized capital losses related to other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”). We consider relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment of a security is other-than-temporary. Relevant facts and circumstances considered include (1) the length of time the fair value has been below amortized cost, (2) the reasons for the decline in value, (3) the financial position and access to capital of the issuer, including the current and future impact of any specific events and (4) our ability and intent to hold the security to maturity or until it recovers in value.
For loan-backed and structured securities, we bifurcate our realized gains and losses between credit related and interest related realized losses. We estimate the amount of the credit loss component of a loan-backed or structured security impairment as the difference between amortized cost and the present value of the expected cash flows of the security. The present value is determined using the best estimate cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate to accrete the security. The cash flow estimates are based on security specific facts and circumstances that may include collateral characteristics, expectations of delinquency and default rates, loss severity and prepayment speeds and structural support, including subordination and guarantees. We did not recognize any OTTI on the basis of intent to sell loan-backed and structured securities during 2023, 2022 and 2021. We did not recognize any OTTI on the basis of inability or lack of intent to retain the investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis of loan-backed and structured securities during 2023, 2022 and 2021. We had no recorded investments in restructured bonds for which an impairment has been recognized as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.
We accrue interest income on impaired bonds to the extent it is deemed collectible and the bond continues to perform under its original or restructured contractual terms. Interest income on non-performing bonds is generally recognized on a cash basis. Interest income on bonds in default that is over 90 days past due and has been deemed collectible is non- admitted. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had no interest overdue beyond 90 days on bonds.
Gross Unrealized Losses on Bonds
For bonds with unrealized losses, including other-than-temporary impairment losses reported in unassigned surplus, the gross unrealized losses and fair value, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities had been in a continuous unrealized loss position, were as follows:

Of the bonds within our portfolio in a gross unrealized loss position, 93% were investment grade (designated NAIC 1 or 2) with an average price of 81 (fair value/amortized cost) as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, $0 had been recorded as an adjustment to unassigned surplus. Gross unrealized losses in our bond portfolio decreased during the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to tightening of credit spreads.

For those bonds that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than twelve months, we held 1 bond reflecting an average price of 87 as of December 31, 2023. Of those bonds, 100% were investment grade (designated NAIC 1 or 2) as of December 31, 2023, with associated unrealized losses of $134,045.
For those bonds that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position greater than or equal to twelve months, we held 60 bonds reflecting an average price of 81 and an average designation equivalent to an NAIC designation of 2 as of December 31, 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, investments in structured and loan-backed securities that had unrealized losses which had not been recognized in earnings had a fair value of $9,869,914. Securities in an unrealized loss position for less than twelve months had a fair value of $0 and unrealized losses of $0. Securities in an unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months had a fair value of $9,869,914 and unrealized losses of $1,496,984. These securities were primarily categorized as industrial and miscellaneous.
Because we expected to recover our carrying value and it was not our intent to sell the securities with unrealized losses before recovery of the amortized cost, which may be maturity, we did not consider those securities to be other-than- temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2023.

Rate Reconciliation
Our provision for income taxes may not have the customary relationship of taxes to income. The differences between the prevailing U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% and the effective tax rate on pre-tax income are generally due to inherent differences between income for financial reporting purposes and income for tax purposes, changes in statutory valuation allowance and the establishment of adequate provisions for any challenges of the tax filings and tax payments to the various taxing jurisdictions.
Our income tax expense and change in deferred taxes differ from the amount obtained by applying the federal statutory rate of 21% to pre-tax net income for the following reasons:

Tax Carryforwards
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not have any operating loss carryforwards, capital loss carryforwards or tax credit carryforwards.
The following income taxes were incurred in the current and prior years that will be available for recoupment in the event of future capital losses:
2023$9,116

Tax Loss Contingencies and Other Tax Disclosures
As of December 31, 2023, we did not have any federal or foreign income tax loss contingencies.
We do not believe there is a reasonable possibility that the total amount of the tax loss contingencies will significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months considering the status of current and pending IRS examinations. The U.S. federal statute of limitations has expired for years prior to 2015. The IRS is currently auditing the U.S. federal income returns for tax years 2015 through 2018 and 2019 through 2022. The statutes remain open through normal statute extensions. We do not expect the results of these audits, subsequent related adjustments or developments in other tax areas for all open tax years to significantly change the possible increase in tax loss contingencies, but the outcome of tax reviews is uncertain and unforeseen results can occur. We believe we have adequate defenses against, or sufficient provisions for, contested issues, but final resolution could take several years depending on whether legal remedies are pursued. Consequently, we do not believe issues that might arise in tax years subsequent to 2014 will have a material impact on our net income.
We recognize interest related to tax loss contingencies in income tax expense. Penalties related to tax loss contingencies are reported in operating expenses. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not recognize accumulated pre- tax interest and penalties related to tax loss contingencies.
We do not have any deposits under IRC Section 6603.
We were not subject to the repatriation transition tax as of December 31, 2023.
Inflation Reduction Act
The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (“IRA 2022”) was enacted by the U.S. Government on August 16, 2022. The IRA 2022 implements a new corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) effective January 1, 2023. PFG, of which we join as a member of a consolidated federal income tax return, is an “Applicable Corporation,” which requires computation of the U.S. federal income tax liability under two systems, the U.S. regular corporate tax (“RCT”) and the CAMT. Although the CAMT may apply in any given year when tentative minimum tax (“TMT”) exceeds the RCT liability, as a “prepayment” the CAMT generates a corresponding alternative minimum tax credit (“AMTC”). The AMTC is accounted for as a DTA with an indefinite carryover life recoverable in years when the RCT liability exceeds TMT.
The method of allocation between PFG and its subsidiaries is subject to a written Tax Sharing Agreement (“TSA”). The TSA was amended in August 2023 and approved by the Iowa Insurance Division on September 27, 2023, with a January 1, 2023, effective date. The TSA allocates the CAMT exclusively to PFS.
We are an applicable reporting entity with a tax allocation agreement exclusion under paragraph 11 of INT 23-03 Inflation Reduction Act Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax, adopted by the Statutory Accounting Principles Working Group on September 21, 2023, that is in effect for the reporting period. We are not required to calculate or recognize CAMT in our current and deferred tax computations. We do not expect to pay any of the CAMT liability on behalf of our co-obligors.

7.Capital and Surplus
Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life and health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we met the minimum RBC requirements.
Under Iowa law, we may pay dividends only from the earned surplus arising from our business and must receive the prior approval of the Commissioner to pay stockholder dividends or make any other distribution if such dividends or distribution would exceed certain statutory limitations. Iowa law gives the Commissioner discretion to disapprove requests for distributions in excess of these limitations. Extraordinary dividends include those made, together with dividends and other distributions, within the preceding twelve months that exceed the greater of (i) 10% of our policyholder surplus as of the previous year end excluding net negative IMR or (ii) the net gain from operations from the previous calendar year, not to exceed earned surplus. Based on this limitation and 2023 statutory results, we cannot pay dividends in 2024 without exceeding the statutory limitation.
On March 8, 2022, we had an extraordinary distribution of $179,844,312 of cash and invested assets as a return of capital. The extraordinary distribution was approved by the Commissioner.
We did not pay any dividends during 2023 or 2021.
The expenses related to stock based compensation issued by PFG are allocated to certain subsidiaries. The allocation is not settled in cash and, therefore, is reported in capital and surplus. Our allocation of stock based compensation was $2,696,809, $2,251,412 and $3,393,833 for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
8.Contingencies and Assessments Contingencies
We are not aware of any material contingencies. It is possible we could be involved in legal and regulatory actions in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of such matters is always uncertain, and unforeseen results can occur. It is possible that such outcomes could result in losses or require us to establish accruals.
Assessments
We had an ongoing reserve to cover an estimated future guaranty fund liability for retrospective-premium-based guaranty fund assessments. Assessments for a given insolvency may take place over several years. Future premium tax offsets related to those assessments can also take place over several years depending on each state’s statute; however, generally the recoveries take place over 5 years. No asset impairments for future premium tax offsets have occurred and none are anticipated.
The following year-to-date recognized balance of total projected future assessments not yet paid as of December 31, 2023, includes recognized assets for future premium tax offsets related to those assessments:
2023    
2022
Amount eligible for future premium tax offset
$1,096,127 $368,585 
Amount not eligible for future premium tax offset
75,485
68,684
Total projected future assessments
$1,171,612 $437,269 

We have also received information from the National Organization of Life and Health Guaranty Associations of a potential risk related to a company currently in pre-liquidation, which may result in future retrospective-premium-based guaranty fund assessments. A liability has not been recognized for this pre-liquidation company as it does not warrant accrual under current statutory guidance.

9.Fair Value Measurements Valuation Hierarchy
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels. The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
Level 1 Fair values are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 Fair values are based on at least one significant unobservable input for the asset or liability.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Assets measured at fair value are summarized below:

Determination of Fair Value
The following discussion describes the valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets measured at fair value or disclosed at fair value. The techniques utilized in estimating the fair value of financial instruments are reliant on the assumptions used. Care should be exercised in deriving conclusions about our business, its value or financial position based on the fair value information of financial instruments presented below.
Fair value estimates are made based on available market information and judgments about the financial instrument at a specific point in time. Such estimates do not consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized gains or losses. In addition, the disclosed fair value may not be realized in the immediate settlement of the financial instrument. We validate prices through an investment analyst review process, which includes validation through direct interaction with external sources, review of recent trade activity or use of internal models. In circumstances where broker quotes are used to value an instrument, we generally receive one non-binding quote. Broker quotes are validated through an investment analyst review process, which includes validation through direct interaction with external sources and use of internal models or other relevant information. We did not make any significant changes to our valuation processes during 2023.

Bonds
Bonds, including loan-backed and structured securities, are measured and reported at amortized cost except those with an NAIC designation of 6, which are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value.
Additionally, certain loan-backed and structured securities qualify to be reported at fair value as determined by methods identified in the Purposes and Procedures Manual of the NAIC Investment Analysis Office.
When available, the fair value of bonds is based on quoted prices of identical assets in active markets. These are reflected in Level 1 and primarily include U.S. Treasury bonds. When quoted prices of identical assets in active markets are not available, our first priority is to obtain prices from third party pricing vendors. We have regular interaction with these vendors to ensure we understand their pricing methodologies and to confirm they are utilizing observable market information. Their methodologies vary by asset class and include inputs such as estimated cash flows, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker quotes, credit quality, industry events and economic events. Bonds with validated prices from pricing services, which includes the majority of our public bonds, are generally reflected in Level 2. Also included in Level 2 are corporate bonds when quoted market prices are not available, for which an internal model using substantially all observable inputs or a matrix pricing valuation approach is used. In the matrix approach, securities are grouped into pricing categories that vary by sector, designation and average life. Each pricing category is assigned a risk spread based on studies of observable public market data from the investment professionals assigned to specific security classes. The expected cash flows of the security are then discounted back at the current Treasury curve plus the appropriate risk spread. Although the matrix valuation approach provides a fair valuation of each pricing category, the valuation of an individual security within each pricing category may also be impacted by company specific factors.
The primary inputs for valuations of the majority of our Level 2 bonds include recently executed transactions, market price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads and observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to the issuer. For private placement corporate securities valued through the matrix valuation approach inputs include the current Treasury curve and risk spreads based on sector, designation and average life of the issuance. For loan-backed and structured securities, inputs include cash flows, priority of the tranche in the capital structure, expected time to maturity for the specific tranche, reinvestment period remaining and performance of the underlying collateral including prepayments, defaults, deferrals, loss severity of defaulted collateral and, for residential mortgage-backed securities, prepayment speed assumptions. Other inputs include market indices and recently executed transactions.
If we are unable to price a bond using prices from third party pricing vendors or other sources specific to the asset class, we may obtain a broker quote or utilize an internal pricing model specific to the asset utilizing relevant market information, to the extent available and where at least one significant unobservable input is utilized. These are reflected in Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy and can include bonds across all asset classes.
Cash
The carrying amount of cash disclosed at fair value approximates its fair value, which is reflected in Level 1 given the nature of cash.
Separate Account Assets
Separate Account assets are measured and reported at fair value. These assets include common stocks, cash and cash equivalents. The fair value of cash is determined as previously described and reflected in Level 1. Fair values of unaffiliated common stocks are determined using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets when available, which are reflected in Level 1. Fair values of cash equivalents may be determined using public quotations, when available, which are reflected in Level 1. When public quotations are not available for cash equivalents, because of the highly liquid nature of these assets, carrying amounts may be used to approximate fair values, which are reflected in Level 2.
Transfers
We did not have any transfers into or out of Level 3 during 2023, 2022 and 2021.

Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value
We use fair value measurements to record fair value of certain assets and to estimate fair value of financial instruments not recorded at fair value but required to be disclosed at fair value. Certain financial instruments, particularly policyholder liabilities other than investment contracts, are excluded from these fair value disclosure requirements.

10.Reconciliation to Statutory Statement
During 2023, management determined that we were reimbursed an incorrect amount of commission and expense allowance on reinsurance ceded related to an intercompany reinsurance agreement with Principal Life for the year ended December 31, 2022. Management has adjusted the 2022 financial statements to reflect the additional commission and expense allowance on reinsurance ceded under the intercompany reinsurance agreement and the effects on other balances, including federal income tax expense, changes in deferred taxes, changes in non-admitted assets, deferred taxes and other amounts receivable. The information contained within this report has been adjusted accordingly.

The following is a reconciliation of amounts previously reported to the State of Iowa in the 2022 Annual Statement to those reported as adjusted in the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements:

Item 33. Indemnification
Sections 490.851 through 490.859 of the Iowa Business Corporation Act permit corporations to indemnify directors and officers where (A) all of the following apply: the director or officer (i) acted in good faith; (ii) reasonably believed that (a) in the case of conduct in the individual's official capacity, that the individual's conduct was in the best interests of the corporation or (b) in all other cases, that the individual's conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and (iii) in the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had no reasonable cause to believe the individual's conduct was unlawful; and (B) the individual engaged in conduct for which broader indemnification has been made permissible or obligatory under a provision of the corporation's articles of incorporation.
Unless ordered by a court pursuant to the Iowa Business Corporation Act, a corporation shall not indemnify a director or officer in either of the following circumstances: (A) in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation, except for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding if it is determined that the director has met the relevant standard of conduct (above) or (B) in connection with any proceeding with respect to conduct for which the director was adjudged liable on the basis that the director receive a financial benefit to which he or she was not entitled, whether or not involving action in the director's official capacity.
Registrant's By-Laws provide that it shall indemnify directors and officers against damages, awards, settlements and costs reasonably incurred or imposed in connection with any suit or proceeding to which such person is or may be made a party by reason of being a director or officer of the Registrant. Such rights of indemnification are in addition to any rights to indemnity to which the person may be entitled under Iowa law and are subject to any limitations imposed by the Board of Directors. The Board has provided that certain procedures must be followed for indemnification of officers, and that there is no indemnity of officers when there is a final adjudication of liability based upon acts which constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.
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.
