VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY

SEPARATE ACCOUNT EQ

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

Venerable Insurance and Annuity Company (“VIAC” or the “Company”) is domiciled in the State of Iowa and was originally organized in 1973 under the insurance laws of Minnesota. On June 1, 2018, the Company became an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of VA Capital Company LLC, (“VA Capital”), a limited liability company domiciled in the State of Delaware. The Company’s direct parent is Venerable Holdings, Inc. (“Venerable Holdings”), a holding company domiciled in the State of Delaware. Before June 1, 2018, the Company was an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc.

Separate Account EQ of the Company (the “Account”) was established by the Company on July 14, 1988, to support operations of the Company’s variable annuity contracts (the “Contracts”). The Company ceased offering new variable annuity products in 2010, but existing Contract owners may continue to invest in their Contracts. Effective January 17, 2025, certain Contracts were transferred to the Company, from Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company (“Equitable Financial”), an insurance company domiciled in the State of New York. The Company replaced Equitable Financial as the insurer of the Contracts, and the Company assumed all the rights, obligations, and liabilities under the terms of the Contracts, and became the servicing company for contract inquiries and transactions (“Novation”). The Account supports operations of these Contracts as of the effective date of the Novation. Contract holder activity within these funds prior to January 17, 2025, is not included within the financial statements and footnotes herein.  Directed Services LLC, (“DSL”), an affiliate of the Company, acts as the principal underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act of 1933 and the 1940 Act, as amended) of the Contracts issued by the Company, inclusive of the Novation Contracts as of the effective date of the Novation. The Contracts were distributed through registered representatives of other broker-dealers who have entered into selling agreements with  DSL.

The Contracts supported by the Account are:

 

Equi-Select Variable Annuity

 

PrimeElite Variable Annuity

 

The Accumulator® Series (6.0) Variable Annuity (effective January 17, 2025)

 

The Accumulator® Series (7.0) Variable Annuity (effective January 17, 2025)

 

The Accumulator® Series (8.1) Variable Annuity (effective January 17, 2025)
 

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. VIAC provides for variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity considerations to one or more divisions within the Account, as directed by the contract owners. The portion of the Account’s assets applicable to Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business VIAC may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of VIAC. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of VIAC.

At December 31, 2025, the Account had a total of 68 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 37 of which invest in mutual funds managed by Equitable Investment Management Group, LLC (“EIM”), pertaining to the novated Contracts, and 19 of which invest in mutual funds managed by an affiliate, Venerable Investment Advisers,  LLC (“Venerable Advisers”), an investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Venerable Holdings. The remaining 12 investment Divisions invest in independently managed mutual funds. The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a designated fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (“Trusts”).

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant account policies of the Account.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investments

Investments are made in shares of a Division and are recorded at fair value, determined by the net asset value per share of the respective Division. Investment transactions in each Division are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains from each Division are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Division are determined on a first-in, first-out basis. The difference between cost and current fair value of investments owned on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY 

SEPARATE ACCOUNT EQ 

Notes to Financial Statements 

Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of VIAC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited to contract owners. Accordingly, earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contract owners are excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of VIAC, and no charge is being made to the Account for federal income taxes for these amounts. The Company will review this tax accounting in the event of changes in the tax law. Such changes in the law may result in a charge for federal income taxes. Uncertain tax positions are assessed at the parent level on a consolidated basis, including taxes of the operations of the Separate Account.

Contract Owner Reserves

The annuity reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the contract owners invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid to the contract owners exceed their account values, VIAC will contribute additional funds to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required, transfers may be made to VIAC. All Contracts in the Account are currently in the accumulation period. Prior to the annuitization date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of the Contracts.

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from principal transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets are items which relate to contract owner activity, including premiums, death benefits, surrenders and withdrawals, contract charges, and cost of insurance and administrative charges. Also included are transfers between the fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, in-kind transfers into a Division due to a  Novation, and transfers to (from)  VIAC related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full responsibility for which is assumed by VIAC).

Segment Disclosures

FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) defines an operating segment as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity’s chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Account’s CODM is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Account represents a single operating segment as the CODM monitors operating results, and as a whole, long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined based on a defined investment strategy. The “Total increase (decrease) in net assets”, which is used by the CODM to assess the segment’s performance, is consistent with the accompanying Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities as “Total net assets” and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statements of Operations.

Notes to Financial Statements 

Subsequent Events

The Account has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued.

3. Financial Instruments

The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund’s next computed net asset values (“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds, which are obtained from the transfer agents or fund companies and reflect the fair values of the mutual fund investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock Exchange and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.

The Account’s assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2025. There were no transfers among the levels for the year ended December 31, 2025. The account had no liabilities as of December 31, 2025.

The Account categorizes its financial instruments into a three-level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. The Account defines an active market as a market in which transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

 

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or valuation techniques that require inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

a)Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

 

b)Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

 

c)Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and

 

d)Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

 

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.
 

4. Charges and Fees

Under the terms of all Contracts, certain charges and fees are incurred by the Contracts to cover VIAC’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges and fees:

VENERABLE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY 

SEPARATE ACCOUNT EQ 

Notes to Financial Statements 

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

VIAC assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and, in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of the Account. Daily charges are deducted at annual rates of 0.80% to 1.25% of the average daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks, as specified in the Contracts. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Asset Based Administrative Charges

A charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted daily at annual rates of 0.15% to 0.35% of the assets attributable to the Contracts. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Contract Maintenance Charges

An annual Contract maintenance fee of up to $30 may be deducted from the accumulation value of Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses, as specified in the Contracts. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

For certain Contracts, a contingent deferred sales charge (“Surrender Charge”) is imposed as a percentage that ranges up to 8.00% of each premium payment if the Contract is surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken, as specified in the Contract. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Distribution Charges

For certain Contracts, annual distribution fees to cover sales expenses of the Account are deducted daily at an annual rate of 0.20% to 0.35% from the Contract’s accumulation values. These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.

Other Contract Charges

Certain Contracts contain optional riders that are available for an additional charge, such as minimum guaranteed income benefits and minimum guaranteed withdrawal benefits. The amounts charged for these optional benefits vary based on a number of factors and are defined in the Contracts. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.

Fees Waived by VIAC

Certain charges and fees for various types of Contracts may be waived by VIAC. VIAC reserves the right to discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with changes in the law.

expense risks, administrative, and other charges, as defined in the Charges and Fees note. Certain items in this table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such
information is calculated independently for each column in the table.

maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.
