PERSPECTIVE II® FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE DEFERRED ANNUITY

This supplement updates the above-referenced prospectus. Please read and keep it together with your prospectus for future reference. To obtain an additional copy of the prospectus, please contact us at our Customer Care Center, P.O. Box 24068, Lansing, Michigan, 48909-4068; 1-800-644-4565; www.jackson.com.
Effective July 21, 2025 your prospectus is revised to add a new step-up feature to the Flex DB add-on benefit. Your prospectus is revised as follows:
Ø In the section titled “TABLE OF CONTENTS”, a new line item is added to reflect the addition of a new Appendix as follows:
APPENDIX L (Historical GMWB Death Benefit Step-Up Percentages) …………………………… L-1
Ø In the section titled “BENEFITS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACTS”, in the table titled “Add-On Death Benefits Available For a Fee”, in the row for the Flex DB add-on death benefit, the column titled “Purpose” is deleted and replaced with the following:
This death benefit works in connection with the Flex GMWB and provides a minimum death benefit equal to the Flex GMWB Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB), that is not reduced for your allowed annual withdrawals. For Contracts issued on or after July 21, 2025, this death benefit also provides a 7th Contract Anniversary step-up to potentially increase the death benefit.
Ø In the section titled “CONTRACT CHARGES”, in the subsection titled “Death Benefit Charges”, the last paragraph of the sub-subsection titled “Flex DB Charge” is updated by deleting and replacing the third sentence with the following:
You may then elect to opt out of the charge increase and any future charge increases by forfeiting the 7th Contract Anniversary step-up, and any other increases to the GMWB Death Benefit.
Ø In the section titled “DEATH BENEFIT”, in the subsection titled “Add-On Death Benefits”, in the sub-subsection titled “Flex DB” the following revisions have been made:
•The second paragraph, beginning “The Flex DB is available only at issue…” is deleted and replaced with the following:
The Flex DB is available only at issue and in conjunction with certain benefit options under the Flex GMWB and only if the Covered Life is 35 to 75 years of age on the date that the endorsement is issued in connection with the Contract. For more information on Covered Lives, please see “Flex with Joint Option GMWB.” We reserve the right to prospectively restrict the Flex GMWB benefit options that may be elected in connection with the Flex DB. Therefore, not all Flex GMWB benefit options may be available at the time you are interested in electing this death benefit. This could impact the number of Flex GMWB benefit options available to you to select from when you elect this death benefit, but would not impact the underlying mechanics of this death benefit. Please refer to the current Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement at www.jackson.com/product-literature-4.html, contact your financial professional, or contact us at our Customer Care Center, for information regarding the current availability of the Flex GMWB benefit options. At election, the GMWB Death Benefit equals the Flex GMWB Guaranteed Withdrawal Balance (GWB) associated with the Flex GMWB benefit option you elect. When purchased at Contract issuance, the GWB is your initial Premium payment, net of any applicable Premium taxes. Please note that the Fixed Account Options are not available on Contracts with the Flex DB. This means you will not be able to allocate or transfer any amounts to the Fixed Account.
•The following new paragraphs are added before the paragraph beginning “On each fifth Contract Anniversary, the GMWB Death Benefit Charge may be increased.”:
In addition, for Contracts issued on or after July 21, 2025, on the 7th Contract Anniversary following the effective date of the endorsement, the GMWB Death Benefit will automatically step up to the Contract Value multiplied by the GMWB Death Benefit step-up percentage, if the Contract Value multiplied by the GMWB Death Benefit step-up percentage is greater than the GMWB Death Benefit, subject to a maximum of $10,000,000. If the owner has elected to opt out of the automatic GMWB Death Benefit step-up to avoid an increase in the GMWB Death Benefit charge percentage as described in more detail below, Premium payments subsequent to that election will not be allowed. Please note: a 7th Contract Anniversary step-up that results in an increase to the GMWB Death Benefit would also result in an increase to the Flex DB Charge, which is calculated as a percentage of the GMWB Death Benefit.
The current GMWB Death Benefit step-up percentage is disclosed in a Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement. To obtain a copy of the current Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement, please visit www.jackson.com/product-literature-4.html. We reserve the right to prospectively change the GMWB Death Benefit step-up percentage on new Flex DB endorsements. Please see “Appendix L (Historical GMWB Death Benefit Step-Up Percentages)” to view historical GMWB Death Benefit step-up percentages.
•The paragraph beginning “On each fifth Contract Anniversary, the GMWB Death Benefit Charge may be increased” is deleted and replaced with the following:
On each fifth Contract Anniversary, the GMWB Death Benefit charge may be increased. You will be notified in advance of a GMWB Death Benefit charge increase and may elect to opt out of the charge increase and any future charge increases by forfeiting the 7th Contract Anniversary GMWB Death Benefit step-up provision, and any other increases to the GMWB Death Benefit. Such election must be received in Good Order prior to the Contract Anniversary. Upon such election, no future Premium payments will be allowed. While electing to discontinue these provisions will prevent an increase in the charge, you will be foregoing possible increases in your GMWB Death Benefit so carefully consider this decision should we notify you of a charge increase. Such election is final, and you may not subsequently elect to reinstate these provisions once they have been discontinued. All requests will be effective on the Contract Anniversary following receipt of the request in Good Order. Charge increases under this provision may only occur every five years on the Contract Anniversary. If we opt not to increase a charge under this provision, the charge will not be subject to increase again until the Contract Anniversary five years thereafter. For more information, please see “Death Benefit Charges”.
Ø In the section titled “APPENDIX D (GMWB Prospectus Examples)”, in the subsection titled “FLEX GMWB”, the following revisions have been made:
•The first paragraph is deleted and replaced with the following:
Unless otherwise specified, the following examples apply to and assume you elected Flex GMWB (referred to as LifeGuard Freedom Flex GMWB prior to August 28, 2023, and referred to below as a GMWB) when you purchased your Contract, no other add-on benefits, your initial Premium payment net of any applicable taxes was $100,000, your GAWA is greater than your RMD (if applicable) at the time a withdrawal is requested, all partial withdrawals requested include any applicable charges and no prior partial withdrawals have been made. The examples assume that your age when the GAWA% is first determined corresponds to a GAWA% of 5%, the GMWB elected has a bonus percentage of 6%, a GWB Adjustment percentage of 190%, a GMWB Death Benefit Percentage of 105%, and the GMWB and any For Life Guarantee have not been terminated. If your age at the time the GAWA% is first determined corresponds to a GAWA% other than 5%, the examples will still apply, given that you replace the 5% in each of the GAWA calculations with the appropriate GAWA%. If you elected a GMWB with a bonus percentage other than 6%, the examples will still apply if you replace the 6% in each of the bonus calculations with the appropriate bonus percentage for the GMWB you elected. If you elected a GMWB with a GWB Adjustment other than 190%, the examples will still apply if you replace the 190% GWB Adjustment in each of the GWB adjustment calculations with the appropriate GWB adjustment percentage for the GMWB you elected. If you elected a GMWB with a GMWB Death Benefit Percentage other than 105%, the examples will still apply if you replace the 105% GMWB Death Benefit Percentage in the GMWB Death Benefit Step-Up calculation with the appropriate GMWB Death Benefit Percentage for the GMWB you elected.
•Example 6 and Example 7 are updated to clarify the step-up being illustrated are the GWB step-up by inserting “GWB” prior to references to the step-up in these examples.
•The following new Example 8 is inserted:
Example 8: This example illustrates how GMWB value are re-determined upon automatic GMWB DB step-up. Only applicable if your endorsement includes a GMWB Death Benefit provision.
•Example 8a: This example demonstrates what happens if at the time of GMWB DB step-up your Contract Value is $200,000 and your GMWB DB is $90,000. In this example, the Contract Value multiplied by your GMWB DB Percentage is greater than the GMWB DB:
◦The GMWB DB is compared against the Contract Value multiplied by 105%, which is the GMWB Death Benefit Percentage for this example. $200,000*105% = $210,000 which is greater than the GMWB DB so an automatic step-up will occur.
◦Your new GMWB DB is recalculated to equal $210,000, which is equal to your Contract Value multiplied by the GMWB Death Benefit Percentage.
•Example 8b: This example demonstrates what happens if at the time of GMWB DB step-up your Contract Value is $100,000 and your GMWB DB is $103,000. In this example, the Contract Value multiplied by your GMWB DB Percentage is greater than the GMWB DB, but Contract Value alone is not greater than the GMWB DB:
◦The GMWB DB is compared against the Contract Value multiplied by 105%, which is the GMWB Death Benefit Percentage for this example. $100,000*105% = $105,000 which is greater than the GMWB DB so an automatic step-up will occur.
◦Your new GMWB DB is recalculated to equal $105,000, which is equal to your Contract Value multiplied by the GMWB Death Benefit Percentage.
•Example 8c: This example demonstrates what happens if at the time of GMWB DB step-up your Contract Value is $80,000 and your GMWB DB is $90,000. In this example, the Contract Value multiplied by your GMWB DB Percentage is less than the GMWB DB:
◦The GMWB DB is compared against the Contract Value multiplied by105%, which is the GMWB Death Benefit Percentage for this example. $80,000*105% = $84,000 which is less than the GMWB DB so an automatic step-up does not occur.
◦Your GMWB DB will not be recalculated and will remain at $90,000.
•Notes:
◦Your GMWB DB will only step-up if the Contract Value multiplied by your GMWB Death Benefit Percentage is greater than your GMWB DB at the time of the automatic GMWB DB step-up.
◦Your Bonus Base remains unchanged since GMWB DB step-ups do not impact the Bonus Base.
◦Your GAWA remains unchanged since GMWB DB step-ups do not impact the GAWA.
◦Your GWB remains unchanged since GMWB DB step-ups do not impact the GWB.
◦Your GWB Adjustment remains unchanged since GMWB DB step-ups do not impact the GWB Adjustment.
•Examples 8, 9, 10, and 11 are renumbered to Examples 9, 10, 11, and 12 to accommodate the addition of new Example 8 above.
Ø A new appendix titled “APPENDIX L (HISTORICAL GMWB DEATH BENEFIT STEP-UP PERCENTAGES)”, is added with the following disclosure:
I.Flex DB
No historical step-up percentages are available at this time for the Flex DB.

Item 30. Indemnification
Provision is made in the Company's Amended By-Laws for indemnification by the Company of any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to a civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company, against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceedings, to the extent and under the circumstances permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Michigan.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company 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 liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company 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 Company 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.
