Updated Information About Your Policy
FEES AND EXPENSES
Charges for Early Withdrawals
If you surrender or partially surrender (withdraw money from) your Policy during the first 14 Policy Years or within 14 years after any increase in coverage, a surrender charge of up to 4.2% of Specified Amount will be deducted. You will also pay a partial surrender processing fee of 2% of the amount withdrawn, up to $25, for each partial surrender.

For example, if you purchased a Policy with a Specified Amount of $100,000, and were to surrender the Policy during the surrender charge period, you could be assessed a maximum charge of $4,200 on the amount surrendered.

Reference "Fee Table - Transaction Fees," “Charges and Deductions – Surrender Charge; Partial Surrender Charge and Partial Surrender Processing Fee” and “Surrenders and Partial Surrenders”
Transaction Charges
In addition to surrender charges, you may be charged for other transactions such as making premium payments, requesting additional illustrations after the first in a Policy Year, and for additional transfers when you complete more than 12 transfers during a Policy Year.

Reference “Fee Table – Transaction Fees” and “Charges and Deductions”
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (Annual Charges)
In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Policy, administrative, mortality and expense risk, loan charges, and the cost of optional benefits available under the Policy. Such fees and expenses are set based on either a fixed rate or the characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). Investors should view the data pages of their Policy for applicable rates.

Investing in the Subaccounts will also incur expenses associated with the Portfolios under the Policy, as shown in the following table.

RISKS
Risk of Loss
You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including loss of principal.

Reference “Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy – Investment Risk”
Not a Short-Term Investment
This Policy is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. You will pay a surrender charge on surrenders and partial surrenders within the first 14 Policy Years or within 14 years after any increase in coverage. You may be subject to adverse tax consequences if you surrender the Policy or make a partial surrender. Partial surrenders will also increase the risk of Policy lapse.

The tax deferral benefit is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon.

Reference “Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy – Surrender Risks,” "Fee Table - Transaction Fees," "Charges and Deductions - Surrender Charge" and “Federal Tax Considerations"
Risks Associated with Investment Options
Investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of each of the Subaccounts. The Subaccounts and the Fixed Account each have their own unique risks. You should review all of the investment options before making an investment decision.

RISKS
Insurance Company Risks
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to American Family Life Insurance Company. Any obligations, guarantees, and benefits of the Policy, including the Fixed Account investment option, are subject to the claims paying ability of American Family Life Insurance Company. More information about the financial condition of American Family Life Insurance Company is available upon request by contacting Our Administrative Service Center.

Reference “Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy – Insurance Company Risk”
Policy Lapse
Your Policy will lapse (terminate without value) if there is insufficient value remaining in the Policy to cover the charges due at the end of the grace period while the Primary Insured is alive. This may occur due to insufficient Premiums, poor investment performance, partial surrenders, unpaid Policy loans and accrued loan interest. However, We guarantee to keep the Policy in force during the first five years of the Policy as long as you meet a Premium requirement. 

If your Policy lapses, you may reinstate it at any time within five years after the end of the grace period. Reinstatement must meet certain conditions, including the payment of the required Premium and proof of insurability.

Death Benefits will not be paid if the Policy has lapsed.

Reference "Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy" and “Policy Lapse and Reinstatement”
RESTRICTIONS
Investments
The first 12 transfers during each Policy Year are free. We will assess a transfer processing fee of $25 for each additional transfer during such Policy Year.
Transfers from the Fixed Account are subject to additional restrictions. We reserve the right to revoke or modify the transfer privilege at any time.
We reserve the right to remove or substitute Portfolios as investment options. We may close subaccounts to allocations of premiums or Cash Value, or both, at any time in Our sole discretion.
Reference "Fee Table - Transaction Fees," "Charges and Deductions - Transfer Charge," “Transfers,” and “The Variable Account and the Portfolios – The Variable Account”
Optional Benefits
Supplemental and/or rider benefits can be added to your Policy. We will deduct any monthly charges for these benefits and/or riders from your Cash Value as part of the Monthly Deduction.  We may change or stop offering a supplemental and/or rider benefit at any time. We also offer the option to take loans from your Policy. The maximum loan amount (Preferred and Non-Preferred) at any time may not exceed 90% of your Policy’s Surrender Value. The maximum Preferred Loan amount is the amount your Surrender Value exceeds your premium payments. We charge interest on loans.

Reference "Fee Table," "Charges and Deductions," "Other Benefits Available Under the Policy" and “Supplemental Benefits and Riders”
TAXES
Tax Implications
We encourage you to consult your own tax adviser to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Policy.

There are no additional tax advantages to the investor if the Policy was purchased through an individual retirement account  (IRA) or Roth IRA. Any gain on your Policy is taxed at ordinary income tax rates when withdrawn, and you may have to pay a penalty tax if you take a withdrawal before age 59 ½.

If your Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC), loans, withdrawals and surrenders, and other pre-death distributions will be taxed as ordinary income to the extent such amounts represent earnings under the Policy. For this purpose, any partial withdrawals, surrenders and loans are considered first a distribution of earnings under the Policy, and when earnings are fully distributed, a distribution of the Owner’s investment in the Policy. You may also have to pay a penalty tax if you take a distribution before you reach age 59 ½.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional Compensation
All commissions that were payable with respect to the Policies have been paid, and no commissions are or will become payable to the current principal underwriter, Sunset Financial Services, Inc. (the “Distributor”), or to the former principal underwriter, American Family Securities, LLC, or their respective registered representatives with respect to the Policies. The Distributor receives a portion of the 12b-1 fees deducted from certain funds’ portfolio assets as reimbursement for providing certain services permitted under the 12b-1 plans of those portfolios.
When the Policy was offered to new purchasers, commissions were paid to broker-dealers for the sale of the Policy. In addition, We may have paid an asset-based commission or other amounts in certain circumstances. These investment professionals may have had a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Policy over another investment.
Reference “Sale of the Policies” and “The Variable Account and the Portfolios – Portfolio Management Fees and Charges”
Exchange
Some broker-dealers may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of your current Policy.  You should replace (exchange) your current Policy only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing Policy, that the new policy is better for you, rather than continuing to own your current Policy.

Reference “The Policy – Replacement of Policies”
