For example, assume a Trigger Rate of 3% and a Buffer of 10%. If at the end of a Term, the Index Return is positive, zero, or negative but no lower than -10% (i.e., not in excess of the Buffer), we apply a positive Performance Credit of 3%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase by 3% since the Term Start Date. However, if the negative Index Return were lower than -10% (i.e., in excess of the Buffer), we apply a negative Performance Credit equal to the negative Index Return plus the Buffer, as previously summarized above.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Cap</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> – A Cap represents the maximum positive Performance Credit, if any, applied on a Term End Date. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is 12% and the Cap is 10%, we apply a Performance Credit of 10%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase by 10% since the Term Start Date. The Index Protection Strategy with Cap, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy offer Index Options with a Cap. Index Performance Strategy multi-year Term Index Options have both a Cap and a Participation Rate (as described below).</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">− </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Participation Rate</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> – A Participation Rate is the percentage that is multiplied by a positive Index Return in calculating a positive Performance Credit, if any, subject to any applicable Cap. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Participation Rate is 100%, the Cap is 15%, and the Index Return is 12% (which is lower than the Cap), we apply a Performance Credit of 12% (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">i.e.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, 100% x 12%). However, if the Index Return were instead 20% (which is higher than the Cap), we would apply the Cap and a Performance Credit of 15% would be applied. Index Performance Strategy multi-year Term Index Options have both a Participation Rate and a Cap.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">− </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate for an Index Option will change from Term to Term, subject to a specified guaranteed minimum that will not change for the life of that Index Option. Guaranteed minimum Trigger Rates, Caps, and/or Participation Rates vary by Index Option.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">− </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If we add a new Index Option to the Contract in the future, the lowest Trigger Rate, Cap, and Participation Rate that we may establish are 0.05%, 0.05%, and 5.00%, respectively. For example, if the Trigger Rate or Cap for a new Index Option is 0.05% and the Index Return is 10%, a 0.05% Performance Credit would be applied. Similarly, if the Participation Rate for a new Index Option is 5.00%, the Index Option is uncapped, and the Index Return is 10%, a 0.50% Performance Credit would be applied.</span></div> Each Index Option also has an upside feature, either a Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate, used in the calculation of positive Performance Credits, if any, that may be credited to your investment at the end of a Term. Before the end of an Index Option’s Term, if you take any type of withdrawal, execute a Performance Lock, begin Income Payments or Annuity Payments, or if we pay a death benefit or deduct a fee or expense, we base the transaction on the interim Index Option Value, which includes the Daily Adjustment. The Daily Adjustment approximates the Index Option Value that will be available on the Term End Date. It is the estimated present value of the future Performance Credit that we will apply on the Term End Date. The Daily Adjustment for the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index <span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Protection Strategy with Cap can only be positive or zero – it cannot be negative. However, the Daily Adjustment can be positive, zero, or negative with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy. If you take Income Payments under the Dynamic Income payment option we continue to calculate the Daily Adjustment even after the Contract Value is reduced to zero as described in section 11. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Daily Adjustment fluctuates daily and, if it is negative, you could lose a significant amount of money.</span> <table cellpadding="0" style="border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-left:0.5pt solid #000000;border-right:0.5pt solid #000000;border-top:0.5pt solid #000000;empty-cells:show;width:494pt; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="height:28pt;"> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;padding-bottom:2.375pt;padding-top:2.375pt;vertical-align:Top;width:69.5pt;"> <div style="line-height:0.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;"> </span></div> </div> </td> <td colspan="3" style="background-color:#D8D8D8;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-right:0.5pt solid #000000;padding-bottom:2.375pt;padding-top:2.375pt;vertical-align:Bottom;width:343pt;"> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4.75pt;margin-right:4.75pt;text-align:Center;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;text-transform:uppercase;">FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS</span></div> </div> </td> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;padding-bottom:2.375pt;padding-top:2.375pt;vertical-align:Top;width:81.5pt;"> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4.75pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Center;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">Prospectus</span></div> <div style="margin-left:4.75pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Center;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Location</span></div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr style="height:339.5pt;"> <td style="border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-right:0.5pt solid #000000;padding-bottom:2.375pt;padding-top:2.375pt;vertical-align:Top;width:69.5pt;"> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">Are There </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">Charges or </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">Adjustments </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">for Early </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">Withdrawals?</span></div> </div> </td> <td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-right:0.5pt solid #000000;padding-bottom:2.375pt;padding-top:2.375pt;vertical-align:Top;width:343pt;"> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4.75pt;margin-right:4.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">Yes</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">, your Contract is subject to charges for early withdrawals.

The Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer; or -10% Floor. The Daily Adjustment applies if, before the Term End Date, you take a full or partial withdrawal, you take Income Payments, you execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize the Contract, we pay a death benefit, or we deduct Contract fees or expenses. The actual Daily Adjustment calculation is determined by a formula described in Appendix C.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the Contract (not including Fund fees and expenses).

zero). The Daily Adjustment could result in a loss beyond the protection of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer; or -10% Floor. The Daily Adjustment applies if, before the Term End Date, you take a full or partial withdrawal, you take Income Payments, you execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize the Contract, we pay a death benefit, or we deduct Contract fees or expenses. The actual Daily Adjustment calculation is determined by a formula described in Appendix C.</span></div> 0.08 <span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:8pt;">The Contract

that you should understand before investing. You should carefully consider your income needs and risk tolerance to determine whether the Contract is appropriate for you. The level of risk you bear and your potential investment performance will differ depending on the Index Options you choose.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Risk of Loss</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Returns on securities and securities Indexes can vary substantially, which may result in investment losses. The historical performance of the Investment Options does not guarantee future results. It is impossible to predict whether underlying investment values will fall or rise. Securities markets are influenced by economic, financial, regulatory, geographic, judicial, political and other complex and interrelated factors. Depending on your individual circumstances (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">e.g.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, your selected Index Options and the timing of any Purchase Payments, transfers, or withdrawals), you may experience (perhaps significant) negative returns under the Contract. You should consult with a Financial Professional.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Variable Option does not provide any protection against loss of principal. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">You can lose principal and previous earnings for Purchase Payments held in the Variable Option and such losses could be significant.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">You should consider whether investing in an Index Option is consistent with your financial needs. If you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to an Index Option with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy, negative Index Returns may cause Performance Credits to be either negative after application of the Buffer, or negative down to the Floor. For the Index Dual Precision Strategy and Index Performance Strategy, we apply the Buffer for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Buffer annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option. Ongoing deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses could also cause amounts available for withdrawal to be less than what you invested even if Index performance has been positive. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">You can lose principal and previous earnings if you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Index Options with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy, and such losses could be significant. If you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Index Options with the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy with Cap you can also lose principal and previous earnings if you do not receive a Performance Credit, or if the Contract fees and expenses are greater than the Performance Credit. Lastly, if you elect Dynamic Income under your selected income benefit, the annual maximum Income Payment may decline due to negative Index Option performance if you allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy Index Options. Such negative returns may significantly reduce the annual maximum Income Payment.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">The maximum potential negative Performance Credit for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy is based on the Buffer. If the Buffer is 10%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is -90%; if the Buffer is 20%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is -80%; and if the Buffer is 30%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is -70%. The maximum potential negative Performance Credit for the Index Guard Strategy is the -10% Floor. At least one Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or Floor no lower than -25%, or an Index Option that provides complete protection from Index losses, will always be available for renewal under the Contract.</span></div> </div><div style="margin-left:50pt;margin-top:36pt;width:494pt;min-height:670pt;"> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">In addition to any losses from negative investment performance, you may experience losses under the Contract due to any applicable withdrawal charges, other Contract fees and charges, negative Daily Adjustments, taxes, and tax penalties.</span></div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Early Withdrawal and Liquidity Risk</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We designed the Contract to be a long-term investment that you can use to help build and provide income for retirement. The Contract is not suitable for short-term investment. Withdrawals under the Contract may be subject to withdrawal charges, other Contract fees and charges, negative Daily Adjustments, taxes, and tax penalties.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If you take a full or partial withdrawal during the withdrawal charge period we deduct a withdrawal charge unless the withdrawal is a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. While Penalty-Free Withdrawals provide some liquidity, they are permitted in only limited amounts or in special circumstances. If you need to withdraw most or all of your Contract Value in a short period, you will likely exceed the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amounts available to you and incur withdrawal charges. For more information on the withdrawal charge, see the Fee Tables and section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Withdrawal Charge.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We calculate the withdrawal charge as a percentage of your Purchase Payments, not Contract Value. Consequently, if the Contract Value has declined since you made a Purchase Payment, it is possible the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn to cover the withdrawal charge would be greater than if the withdrawal charge were deducted as a percentage of Contract Value. For example, assume you buy the Contract with a single Purchase Payment of $10,000. If your Contract Value in the fifth year is $8,000 and you take a full withdrawal a 5% withdrawal charge applies. The total withdrawal charge would be $500 (5% of $10,000). As your Contract Value is less than $100,000, we will also deduct the $50 contract maintenance charge. This results in you receiving $7,450. For purposes of this example, we have not factored in any final product and rider fees that may apply and be deducted in connection with a full withdrawal. This example also does not include the impact of income tax withholding which will reduce the amount you receive.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">On a full withdrawal, the free withdrawal privilege is not available to you, and we apply a withdrawal charge against Purchase Payments that are still within their withdrawal charge period, including amounts previously withdrawn under the free withdrawal privilege. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">On a full withdrawal, your Withdrawal Charge Basis may be greater than your Contract Value because the following reduce your Contract Value, but do not reduce your Withdrawal Charge Basis: deductions we make for prior Penalty-Free Withdrawals and Contract fees or expenses; and/or poor performance.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Amounts withdrawn from this Contract are subject to income taxes and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6pt;position:relative;top:-2.66pt;"> 1</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">∕</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6pt;">2</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We only apply Performance Credits to the Index Options once each Term on the Term End Date, rather than daily. In the interim, we calculate Index Option Values based on the Daily Adjustment. For more information, see “Risks Associated with the Daily Adjustment” later in this section. The Variable Option is not subject to the Daily Adjustment. Any assets removed from an Index Option during the Term for withdrawals you take (including Income Payments and other Penalty-Free Withdrawals), Annuity Payments, or deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses, or if we pay a death benefit, will not be eligible to receive a Performance Credit on the Term End Date. You will receive a Performance Credit only on any unlocked Index Option Value remaining in an Index Option on the Term End Date.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We typically transfer Variable Account Value to Index Options only on an Index Anniversary, and transfers among Index Options are generally permitted only on Term End Dates. However, you may transfer all assets out of a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option before the Term End Date by executing a Performance Lock on or before the second Index Anniversary of a 3-year Term or the fifth Index Anniversary of a 6-year Term. In addition, effective October 13, 2026, enhancements to the Early Reallocation feature will increase the maximum number of Early Reallocations allowed each Index Year from 12 to 24 (but each request can involve multiple locked Index Options), and will allow a transfer of all assets from the Variable Option before an Index Anniversary. These enhancements are in addition to the existing ability to make Early Reallocations from locked Index Options (including 1-year Term Index Options) before the Term End Date. These transfer restrictions may limit your ability to respond to changing market conditions.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Income Benefit Risks</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Contract requires you to select an available income benefit rider at issue.

If you qualify for the Income Multiplier Benefit, it also may not provide enough income to pay for the care you require.

Investments in emerging market issuers may be subject to a greater risk of loss than investments in issuers located or operating in more developed markets. Emerging markets may be more likely to experience inflation, social instability, political turmoil or rapid changes in economic conditions than more developed markets. Companies in many emerging markets are not subject to the same degree of regulatory requirements, accounting standards or auditor oversight as companies in more developed countries, and as a result, information about the securities in which the ETF invests may be less reliable or complete. Emerging markets often have less reliable securities valuations and greater risk associated with custody of securities than developed markets. There may be significant obstacles to obtaining information necessary for investigations into or litigation against companies and shareholders may have limited legal remedies.</span></div></div> </div> <div style="clear:both;position:relative;"> </div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Risks Associated with the Daily Adjustment</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Daily Adjustment is how we calculate Index Option Values on Business Days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Variable Option is not subject to the Daily Adjustment.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> The Daily Adjustment can affect the amounts available for withdrawal, Performance Locks, annuitization, payment of the death benefit, and the Contract Value used to determine the contract maintenance charge and Charge Base for the product and rider fees.

Because we calculate Index Returns only on a single date in time, you may experience negative or flat performance even though the Index you selected for a given Crediting Method may have experienced gains through some, or most, of the Term. If you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Index Options with Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy with Cap, positive returns are limited by the Trigger Rates and Caps. You are not subject, however, to potential negative Performance Credits for those Index Options. The Trigger Rates on the Index Dual Precision Strategy and Index Precision Strategy Index Options, and the Caps on the Index Guard Strategy and Index Performance Strategy Index Options also limit positive returns, and for these Index Options, you may be subject to potential negative Performance Credits.

Contract. Due to a combination of factors, including potential changes in interest rates and other market conditions (e.g. rising inflation), the current economic environment is evolving. The future impact on initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates cannot be predicted with certainty. The effect of a change in interest rates or other market conditions may not be direct or immediate. There may be a lag in changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates. Interest rates could increase. In a rising interest rate environment, increases in initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, if any, may be substantially slower than increases in interest rates. However, a rising interest rate environment may have the opposite effect on renewal rates and cause renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates to decrease.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We manage our obligation to provide Performance Credits in part by trading call and put options, and other derivatives on the available Indexes. The costs of the call and put options and other derivatives vary based on market conditions, and we may adjust future renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates to reflect these cost changes. The primary factor affecting the differences in the initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for newly issued Contracts and renewal and Early Reallocation rates for existing Contracts is the difference in what we can earn from these investments for newly issued Contracts versus what we are earning on the investments that were made for existing Contracts. In some instances, we may need to reduce initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, or we may need to substitute an Index. You bear the risk that we may reduce Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, which reduces your opportunity to receive positive Performance Credits.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Other Contract Changes Risk</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We reserve the right to modify or restrict several benefits or features of the Contract.

We have implemented and maintain security measures designed to protect against breaches of security and other interference with systems and networks, and require third party vendors to meet certain information security standards; however, we cannot ensure that our systems and networks will not be subject to breaches or interference, or that we will always be able to readily detect a cybersecurity incident. Any such event may result in operational disruptions as well as unauthorized access to or the disclosure or loss of our proprietary information or our clients’ personal information. Any such event may interfere with, impede or cause delays in our calculation of values, processing of transactions and making of payments under the Contract. Although we maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage against costs resulting from cybersecurity incidents, it is possible losses will exceed the amount available under our coverage. We cannot be certain that advances in criminal capabilities, discovery of new vulnerabilities, attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in our systems, data thefts, physical system or network break-ins or inappropriate access, or other developments will not compromise or breach the technology or other security measures protecting our networks and systems used in connection with our products and services.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Natural or Man-made Disasters.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">e.g.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, extreme weather events, acts of terrorism, public health crises, industrial accidents, blackouts, military actions) could adversely affect our business operations, particularly if those events affect our computer-based data processing, transmission, storage, and retrieval systems or destroy data.

Weaknesses or failures within a vendor’s business continuity plan in light of a natural or man-made disaster could materially disrupt our business operations.</span></div> </div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Risk of Loss</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Returns on securities and securities Indexes can vary substantially, which may result in investment losses. The historical performance of the Investment Options does not guarantee future results. It is impossible to predict whether underlying investment values will fall or rise. Securities markets are influenced by economic, financial, regulatory, geographic, judicial, political and other complex and interrelated factors. Depending on your individual circumstances (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">e.g.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, your selected Index Options and the timing of any Purchase Payments, transfers, or withdrawals), you may experience (perhaps significant) negative returns under the Contract. You should consult with a Financial Professional.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Variable Option does not provide any protection against loss of principal. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">You can lose principal and previous earnings for Purchase Payments held in the Variable Option and such losses could be significant.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">You should consider whether investing in an Index Option is consistent with your financial needs. If you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to an Index Option with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy, negative Index Returns may cause Performance Credits to be either negative after application of the Buffer, or negative down to the Floor. For the Index Dual Precision Strategy and Index Performance Strategy, we apply the Buffer for the entire Term length; we do not apply the Buffer annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option. Ongoing deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses could also cause amounts available for withdrawal to be less than what you invested even if Index performance has been positive. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">You can lose principal and previous earnings if you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Index Options with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy, and such losses could be significant. If you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Index Options with the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy with Cap you can also lose principal and previous earnings if you do not receive a Performance Credit, or if the Contract fees and expenses are greater than the Performance Credit. Lastly, if you elect Dynamic Income under your selected income benefit, the annual maximum Income Payment may decline due to negative Index Option performance if you allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy Index Options. Such negative returns may significantly reduce the annual maximum Income Payment.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">The maximum potential negative Performance Credit for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy is based on the Buffer. If the Buffer is 10%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is -90%; if the Buffer is 20%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is -80%; and if the Buffer is 30%, the maximum negative Performance Credit is -70%. The maximum potential negative Performance Credit for the Index Guard Strategy is the -10% Floor. At least one Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or Floor no lower than -25%, or an Index Option that provides complete protection from Index losses, will always be available for renewal under the Contract.</span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">In addition to any losses from negative investment performance, you may experience losses under the Contract due to any applicable withdrawal charges, other Contract fees and charges, negative Daily Adjustments, taxes, and tax penalties.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Early Withdrawal and Liquidity Risk</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We designed the Contract to be a long-term investment that you can use to help build and provide income for retirement. The Contract is not suitable for short-term investment. Withdrawals under the Contract may be subject to withdrawal charges, other Contract fees and charges, negative Daily Adjustments, taxes, and tax penalties.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If you take a full or partial withdrawal during the withdrawal charge period we deduct a withdrawal charge unless the withdrawal is a Penalty-Free Withdrawal. While Penalty-Free Withdrawals provide some liquidity, they are permitted in only limited amounts or in special circumstances. If you need to withdraw most or all of your Contract Value in a short period, you will likely exceed the Penalty-Free Withdrawal amounts available to you and incur withdrawal charges. For more information on the withdrawal charge, see the Fee Tables and section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Withdrawal Charge.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We calculate the withdrawal charge as a percentage of your Purchase Payments, not Contract Value. Consequently, if the Contract Value has declined since you made a Purchase Payment, it is possible the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn to cover the withdrawal charge would be greater than if the withdrawal charge were deducted as a percentage of Contract Value. For example, assume you buy the Contract with a single Purchase Payment of $10,000. If your Contract Value in the fifth year is $8,000 and you take a full withdrawal a 5% withdrawal charge applies. The total withdrawal charge would be $500 (5% of $10,000). As your Contract Value is less than $100,000, we will also deduct the $50 contract maintenance charge. This results in you receiving $7,450. For purposes of this example, we have not factored in any final product and rider fees that may apply and be deducted in connection with a full withdrawal. This example also does not include the impact of income tax withholding which will reduce the amount you receive.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">On a full withdrawal, the free withdrawal privilege is not available to you, and we apply a withdrawal charge against Purchase Payments that are still within their withdrawal charge period, including amounts previously withdrawn under the free withdrawal privilege. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">On a full withdrawal, your Withdrawal Charge Basis may be greater than your Contract Value because the following reduce your Contract Value, but do not reduce your Withdrawal Charge Basis: deductions we make for prior Penalty-Free Withdrawals and Contract fees or expenses; and/or poor performance.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Amounts withdrawn from this Contract are subject to income taxes and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6pt;position:relative;top:-2.66pt;"> 1</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">∕</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6pt;">2</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We only apply Performance Credits to the Index Options once each Term on the Term End Date, rather than daily. In the interim, we calculate Index Option Values based on the Daily Adjustment. For more information, see “Risks Associated with the Daily Adjustment” later in this section. The Variable Option is not subject to the Daily Adjustment. Any assets removed from an Index Option during the Term for withdrawals you take (including Income Payments and other Penalty-Free Withdrawals), Annuity Payments, or deductions we make for Contract fees and expenses, or if we pay a death benefit, will not be eligible to receive a Performance Credit on the Term End Date. You will receive a Performance Credit only on any unlocked Index Option Value remaining in an Index Option on the Term End Date.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We typically transfer Variable Account Value to Index Options only on an Index Anniversary, and transfers among Index Options are generally permitted only on Term End Dates. However, you may transfer all assets out of a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option before the Term End Date by executing a Performance Lock on or before the second Index Anniversary of a 3-year Term or the fifth Index Anniversary of a 6-year Term. In addition, effective October 13, 2026, enhancements to the Early Reallocation feature will increase the maximum number of Early Reallocations allowed each Index Year from 12 to 24 (but each request can involve multiple locked Index Options), and will allow a transfer of all assets from the Variable Option before an Index Anniversary. These enhancements are in addition to the existing ability to make Early Reallocations from locked Index Options (including 1-year Term Index Options) before the Term End Date. These transfer restrictions may limit your ability to respond to changing market conditions.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Income Benefit Risks</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Contract requires you to select an available income benefit rider at issue. Until October 12, 2026, the only available income benefit rider is the Income Benefit. However, if you purchase the Contract after that date, you may select either the Income Benefit or the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-style:italic;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Income Benefit. Both the Income Benefit and </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-style:italic;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Income Benefit have additional rider fee(s). However, you can remove your selected income benefit after three years if Income Payments have not begun. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">If you remove your selected income benefit you will have paid for the benefit without receiving any of its advantages.</span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We generally base Income Payments on the Lifetime Income Percentage you select and your Contract Value, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">not a guaranteed value.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Decreases in Contract Value due to negative Index Option performance during the Accumulation Phase up to and including the Income Benefit Date, deductions for Contract fees and expenses, and withdrawals, also decrease the Income Payment amount available to you. Lastly, if you choose the Dynamic Income payment option, the annual maximum Income Payment may decline due to negative Index Option performance if you allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy Index Options. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Such negative returns may significantly reduce the annual maximum Income Payment.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If you choose the Level Income payment option and meet the age requirements stated in section 11, Income Benefits – Calculating Your Income Payments, your initial annual maximum Income Payment will not be less than the Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage multiplied by your total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for withdrawals you took (including any withdrawal charge). However, the Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage is not available to you under the Level Income payment option if you do not meet the age requirements stated in section 11, or if you choose the Dynamic Income payment option.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Income Payments made while your Contract Value is positive are a withdrawal of your own assets and reduce your Contract Value. If your Contract Value remains above zero when the Income Payments end, you may not realize a benefit from your selected income benefit; the chances of your Contract Value being reduced to zero may be minimal.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We also base Income Payments on the Eligible Person(s) that we establish at issue. If you change Owners or Beneficiary(ies), we may remove an Eligible Person or Covered Person as stated in section 2, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">which may cause Income Payments to be unavailable or end prematurely.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We use the age of the Eligible Person(s) to determine the Income Percentage(s) and Income Percentage Increases. Income Percentage Increases are not available until age 45. This means if an Eligible Person is younger than age 44 on the Issue Date, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">you will not receive an increase to a Lifetime Income Percentage based on that Eligible Person until the Index Anniversary that the Eligible Person (or younger Eligible Person for joint payments) reaches age 45, and you will pay a rider fee (or rider fees if you select the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-weight:bold;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"> Income Benefit) during the period you are not eligible for an Income Percentage Increase.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The eligibility period to begin Income Payments is subject to a waiting period and both a minimum and maximum age requirement for the Eligible Person(s). In addition, we do not allow Income Payments to begin within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary. For single Income Payments, we only allow an Eligible Person who is an Owner to become a Covered Person, and joint Income Payments may not be available if the age difference between spouses is too great, as stated in section 2, Ownership, Annuitant, Determining Life, Beneficiary, and Payee – Eligible Person(s) and Covered Person(s). </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">If you do not begin Income Payments during the eligibility period, your selected income benefit ends and you will have paid for the benefit without receiving any of its advantages.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">In addition, if you have Contract Value in an Index Option for which the Income Benefit Date is not a Term End Date, we will execute a Performance Lock for that Index Option if it is not locked, reallocate the total Contract Value into the 1-year Term Index Options according to allocation instructions you provide, and then immediately calculate and begin your Income Payments. If you have Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no date when the Daily Adjustment does not apply. For the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy with Cap Index Options, we will execute this Performance Lock even if the Daily Adjustment is zero.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The initial annual maximum Income Payment available to you must be at least $100. If your Contract Value on the Income Benefit Date is reduced and this $100 minimum cannot be met, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">your selected income benefit ends and you will have paid for the benefit without receiving any of its advantages. Income Payments and your selected income benefit may also end prematurely if you take Excess Withdrawals or Legacy Withdrawals, or you annuitize the Contract. A full Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal and certain partial Excess Withdrawals or Legacy Withdrawals will cause Income Payments to stop and the Contract </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">and all of its benefits</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"> to end.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> However, we can convert your Income Payment to Annuity Payments as described in section 9, The Annuity Phase – When Annuity Payments Begin.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Income Multiplier Benefit can provide increased income if you are confined for care or are unable to perform at least two activities of daily living. However, this benefit has a waiting period and you must meet certain requirements to receive it. If you are unable to meet these requirements the Income Multiplier Benefit may not be available to you when you need it. If you qualify for the Income Multiplier Benefit, it also may not provide enough income to pay for the care you require. For joint Covered Persons, if you both qualify for this benefit at the same time you will get the same payment increase as a single Covered Person; we do not apply the increase separately for each Covered Person.</span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If you have the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-style:italic;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Income Benefit, its </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-style:italic;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Benefit also provides a guaranteed Legacy Value that is accessible through withdrawals or as a death benefit after Income Payments begin.

Investments in emerging market issuers may be subject to a greater risk of loss than investments in issuers located or operating in more developed markets. Emerging markets may be more likely to experience inflation, social instability, political turmoil or rapid changes in economic conditions than more developed markets. Companies in many emerging markets are not subject to the same degree of regulatory requirements, accounting standards or auditor oversight as companies in more developed countries, and as a result, information about the securities in which the ETF invests may be less reliable or complete. Emerging markets often have less reliable securities valuations and greater risk associated with custody of securities than developed markets. There may be significant obstacles to obtaining information necessary for investigations into or litigation against companies and shareholders may have limited legal remedies.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Risks Associated with the Daily Adjustment</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Daily Adjustment is how we calculate Index Option Values on Business Days other than the Term Start Date or Term End Date. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">The Variable Option is not subject to the Daily Adjustment.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> The Daily Adjustment can affect the amounts available for withdrawal, Performance Locks, annuitization, payment of the death benefit, and the Contract Value used to determine the contract maintenance charge and Charge Base for the product and rider fees. The Daily Adjustment can be less than the Trigger Rate or Cap even if the current Index return during the Term is greater than the Trigger Rate or Cap. In addition, even if the Index has performed positively since the beginning of the Term, the Daily Adjustment may be negative. However, the Daily Adjustment for the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap cannot be negative. The Daily Adjustment is generally negatively affected by:</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">interest rate decreases,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">dividend rate increases,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">poor market performance, and</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">the expected volatility of Index prices. Generally, increases in the expected volatility of Index prices negatively affect the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy 1-year Term Index Options, while decreases in the expected volatility of Index prices negatively affect the Index Guard Strategy. For the Index Performance Strategy 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options, and Index Protection Strategy with Cap, the impact of changes in the expected volatility of Index prices is dependent on the market environment and the applicable Caps and Participation Rates. For the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, the impact of changes in the expected volatility of Index prices is dependent on the market environment.</span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Daily Adjustment for Index Options with a Term length of more than 1 year (3-year and 6-year Term Index Options and Early Reallocation to a 1-year Term Index Option) may be more negatively impacted by changes in the expected volatility of Index prices than 1-year Term Index Options due to the difference in Term length. Also, the risk of a negative Daily Adjustment is generally greater for Index Options with a Term length of more than 1 year than for 1-year Term Index Options due to the Term length. The Index Performance Strategy 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options with a Participation Rate above 100% may also have larger fluctuations in the Daily Adjustment than Index Options either without a Participation Rate, or with a Participation Rate equal to 100%. For shorter Term lengths, there is more certainty in both the final Index Values and how Trigger Rates, Caps, Buffers, and Floors determine Performance Credits. This means there may be less fluctuation in the Daily Adjustment due to changes in Index return for Index Options with shorter Term lengths.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If amounts are withdrawn or otherwise removed from an Index Option with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy before the Term End Date, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">you could lose principal and previous earnings due to a negative Daily Adjustment. A negative Daily Adjustment for these Index Options could result in losses greater than the protection provided by the applicable Buffer or Floor, which apply only on the Term End Date.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">The maximum potential loss from a negative Daily Adjustment is: -99% for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy; and -35% for the Index Guard Strategy. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Such losses will be greater if withdrawal charges, other Contract fees or charges, taxes, or tax penalties also apply.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Risks Associated with Calculation of Performance Credits</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We calculate Performance Credits each Term on the Term End Date. Because we calculate Index Returns only on a single date in time, you may experience negative or flat performance even though the Index you selected for a given Crediting Method may have experienced gains through some, or most, of the Term. If you allocate Purchase Payments or transfer Contract Value to the Index Options with Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy with Cap, positive returns are limited by the Trigger Rates and Caps. You are not subject, however, to potential negative Performance Credits for those Index Options. The Trigger Rates on the Index Dual Precision Strategy and Index Precision Strategy Index Options, and the Caps on the Index Guard Strategy and Index Performance Strategy Index Options also limit positive returns, and for these Index Options, you may be subject to potential negative Performance Credits. Trigger Rates and Caps could cause performance to be lower than it would otherwise have been if you invested in a mutual fund or exchange-traded fund designed to track the performance of the applicable Index.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">For the Index Performance Strategy, we apply the Cap and any Participation Rate for the entire Term length; we do </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">not</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">apply the Cap and any Participation Rate annually on a 3-year or 6-year Term Index Option.

The Index Options also do not directly participate in the returns of the Indexes or the Indexes’ component securities. Index Returns would be higher if they included the dividends from the component securities.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may be adjusted on the next Term Start Date and may vary significantly from Term to Term.

This means that under no circumstances will your Index Option Value increase during the remainder of the Term for a locked Index Option, and you will begin a new Index Option with a new Term Start Date on the next Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Lock Date unless you execute an Early Reallocation (if available to you). If you decide to execute an Early Reallocation, you can execute a Performance Lock and then, at the earliest, execute an Early Reallocation on the same Business Day. When executing both the Performance Lock and Early Reallocation on the same Business Day, your Lock Date is also the Term Start Date for the new Index Option.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">You will not receive a Performance Credit on any locked Index Option on the Term End Date.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We use the Daily Adjustment calculated at the end of the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">current</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Business Day on the Lock Date to determine your locked Index Option Value. This means that, if you request a Performance Lock, your Index Option Value will lock at an unknown future value which may be higher or lower than it was at the point in time you requested a Performance Lock. In addition, if you set a lower target, your Index Option Value may lock at a lower value than the target you set.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If a Performance Lock is executed when your Daily Adjustment has declined, you will lock in any loss.

Once we add an Index to your Contract, we cannot remove it without simultaneously substituting it. For the Index Options, if we substitute a new Index for an existing Index, the performance of the new Index may be different, and this may affect your ability to receive positive Performance Credits.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Depending on the constitution of the substituted Index, the volatility of its investments, and our ability to hedge the Index’s performance, we may determine, in our discretion, to increase or decrease renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates associated with the new Index, subject to their respective minimums. However, we would not implement any change </span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">to reflect this difference until the next Term Start Date after the substitution. The substitution of an Index during a Term may result in an abnormally large change in the Daily Adjustment on the day we substitute the Index due to changes in Proxy Value inputs (such as volatility, dividend yield, and interest rate). However, you would only be affected by this change in the Daily Adjustment if a transaction to which the Daily Adjustment applies (such as a withdrawal you take) occurs on the substitution date.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Risks Associated with Changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Subject to their respective minimums, we establish the initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for a newly issued Contract on the Index Effective Date and they cannot change until the next Term Start Date.

However, these rates are guaranteed to be available during the period stated on our website at </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">https://www.allianzlife.com/RILAselectincomerates</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;"> and cannot be superseded until that period ends. If you select an Index Effective Date that is within the guaranteed period for the initial rates that are available for review on the date you signed your application, you will receive the initial rates that were available on the date you signed your application. However, if you select an Index Effective Date that is after this guaranteed period, you are subject to the risk that initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may change and be less advantageous to you. You are responsible for reviewing the initial rates before your Index Effective Date to ensure your allocations and the product still meet your needs. Furthermore, if your Index Effective Date is after the end of the free look period and you cancel the Contract, you will receive the Cash Value.

You risk the possibility that renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates will be as low as the applicable guaranteed minimums.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We will send you a letter at least 30 days before each Index Anniversary. This letter advises you that current Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates are expiring, and that renewal rates for the next Term Start Date will be available for your review. The Index Anniversary letter also reminds you of your opportunity to transfer your Index Option Values on the upcoming Term End Date. On each Term End Date, you have the option of remaining allocated to your current Index Options at the renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates that we set on the next Term Start Date, or transferring to another permitted Index Option. At least seven calendar days before each Index Anniversary, we publish renewal rates for the next Term Start Date for your review in your account on our website, and on our public website at </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">https://www.allianzlife.com/RILAselectincomerates</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">. If you do not review renewal change information when it is published or take no action to transfer to another permitted Index Option, you will remain allocated to your current Index Options and will automatically become subject to the renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates until the next Term End Date.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">When your renewal rates change, if you do not want to remain invested in the same Index Option for a new Term, the only other options available to you are to transfer Index Option Value between Index Options by changing your allocation instructions, or take a full withdrawal of the Index Option Value (which may be subject to a withdrawal charge, is subject to income taxes, and may be subject to tax penalties).</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If you execute a Performance Lock, you may be able to request an Early Reallocation and begin a new Index Option with a new Term Start Date and a new Trigger Rate, Cap, or Participation Rate before the next Index Anniversary. We can change Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates subject to the guaranteed minimums, in our discretion. We publish Early Reallocation rates at least seven calendar days before the end of the current Early Reallocation offering period for your review in your account on our website. If you do not execute an Early Reallocation, you will remain allocated to your current locked Index Options until the Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Lock Date.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates may vary significantly depending upon a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Term length,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">level of downside protection,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">market volatility,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">our hedging strategies and investment performance,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">the availability of hedging instruments,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">the amount of money available to us through Contract fees and expenses to purchase hedging instruments,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">expenses incurred by the Company,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">your Index Effective Date,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">the level of interest rates,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">utilization of Contract benefits by Owners, and</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">our profitability goals.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">These factors also impact any new Buffer or Floor Index Options that become available under the Contract. Due to a combination of factors, including potential changes in interest rates and other market conditions (e.g. rising inflation), the current economic environment is evolving. The future impact on initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates cannot be predicted with certainty. The effect of a change in interest rates or other market conditions may not be direct or immediate. There may be a lag in changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates. Interest rates could increase. In a rising interest rate environment, increases in initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, if any, may be substantially slower than increases in interest rates. However, a rising interest rate environment may have the opposite effect on renewal rates and cause renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates to decrease.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We manage our obligation to provide Performance Credits in part by trading call and put options, and other derivatives on the available Indexes. The costs of the call and put options and other derivatives vary based on market conditions, and we may adjust future renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates to reflect these cost changes. The primary factor affecting the differences in the initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for newly issued Contracts and renewal and Early Reallocation rates for existing Contracts is the difference in what we can earn from these investments for newly issued Contracts versus what we are earning on the investments that were made for existing Contracts. In some instances, we may need to reduce initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, or we may need to substitute an Index. You bear the risk that we may reduce Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, which reduces your opportunity to receive positive Performance Credits.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Other Contract Changes Risk</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We reserve the right to modify or restrict several benefits or features of the Contract. We restrict additional Purchase Payments. Each Index Year during the Accumulation Phase and before the Income Benefit Date, you cannot add more than your initial amount without our prior approval. Your initial amount is the total of all Purchase Payments received before the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary of the first Contract Year. We allow you to add up to the initial amount in the remainder of the first Index Year. In addition to this Purchase Payment restriction, we reserve the right to decline any or all Purchase Payments at any time on a nondiscriminatory basis. For Contracts issued in certain states, we reserve the right to hold your initial Purchase Payment in the Variable Option until the free look period ends, and then reallocate your Contract Value, less fees and expenses, according to your allocation instructions. For further information regarding Purchase Payment restrictions, see section 3, Purchasing the Contract – Purchase Requirements.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">As it relates to the Index Options, we reserve the right to close Index Options to new Purchase Payments and transfers. However, once an Index Option is added to a Contract, we cannot remove it, change how it calculates Performance Credits, or change its Buffer or Floor.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We also reserve the right to substitute the Fund in which the Variable Option invests. We reserve the right to add or eliminate additional variable investment options, subject to applicable law.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">In states that assess a premium tax, we do not currently deduct it from the Contract, although we reserve the right to do so in the future.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Lastly, we reserve the right to treat a partial withdrawal that reduces Contract Value, or Legacy Value if you have the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-style:italic;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Income Benefit, below $2,000 as a full withdrawal.

We make Income Payments, Annuity Payments, and pay death benefits from our general account. Our general account assets are subject to claims by our creditors. We apply Performance Credits from an unregistered, non-unitized, non-insulated separate account (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Separate Account IANA</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">).

Maintaining the integrity of our systems is critical to our business operations and to the protection of our clients’ personal information. Any cybersecurity breaches or interference that may in the future occur could have a material adverse impact on our business operations and our financial condition.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Publicly-reported cybersecurity threats and incidents have dramatically increased in recent years, and financial services companies and their third-party service providers are increasingly the targets of cyberattacks. We have implemented and maintain security measures designed to protect against breaches of security and other interference with systems and networks, and require third party vendors to meet certain information security standards; however, we cannot ensure that our systems and networks will not be subject to breaches or interference, or that we will always be able to readily detect a cybersecurity incident. Any such event may result in operational disruptions as well as unauthorized access to or the disclosure or loss of our proprietary information or our clients’ personal information. Any such event may interfere with, impede or cause delays in our calculation of values, processing of transactions and making of payments under the Contract. Although we maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage against costs resulting from cybersecurity incidents, it is possible losses will exceed the amount available under our coverage. We cannot be certain that advances in criminal capabilities, discovery of new vulnerabilities, attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in our systems, data thefts, physical system or network break-ins or inappropriate access, or other developments will not compromise or breach the technology or other security measures protecting our networks and systems used in connection with our products and services.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Natural or Man-made Disasters.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> The occurrence of natural or man-made disasters (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">e.g.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, extreme weather events, acts of terrorism, public health crises, industrial accidents, blackouts, military actions) could adversely affect our business operations, particularly if those events affect our computer-based data processing, transmission, storage, and retrieval systems or destroy data. Such disasters may damage our facilities, preventing our employees from performing their roles, otherwise disturbing our ordinary business operations, and impacting claims processing. We rely on certain third-parties to provide certain services important to our business operations. While we monitor the business continuity planning of such third-parties, successful implementation and execution of their business continuity plans are largely outside of our control. Weaknesses or failures within a vendor’s business continuity plan in light of a natural or man-made disaster could materially disrupt our business operations.</span></div> true <div style="line-height:13.0pt;margin-top:12.5pt;text-align:left;"> <hr style="background-color:#000000;height:2pt;margin-bottom:2pt;margin-left:0%;margin-top:12.0pt;position:relative;text-align:left;top:-2pt;width:494pt;"/><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;text-transform:lowercase;">1.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;line-height:13pt;text-transform:uppercase;"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;text-transform:uppercase;">The Contract</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">An annuity is a contract between you as the Owner, and an insurance company (in this case Allianz Life), where you make payments to us and we invest that money in the Index Options you select. The Variable Option holds the money you invest before it is transferred to the Index Options. Depending on market conditions and the returns of your selected Index Options, your Contract may gain or lose value. When you are ready to take money out, we make payments to you according to your instructions and any restrictions associated with the payment option you select that is described in this prospectus. Other than to add benefits that are beneficial to you, we do not make any changes to your Contract without your permission except as may be required by law.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Contract has an Accumulation Phase and an Annuity Phase.

During the Accumulation Phase, we invest your money in the Index Options you select and the Variable Option on a tax-deferred basis. Tax deferral may not be available for certain non-individually owned contracts. Tax deferral means you are not taxed on any earnings or appreciation on the assets in your Contract until you take money out of your Contract. For more information, see section 13, Taxes.</span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">During the Accumulation Phase, you can take withdrawals (subject to any withdrawal charge). You can also make additional Purchase Payments before the Income Period subject to the restrictions set out in section 3, Purchasing the Contract – Purchase Requirements. When purchasing the Contract, you must select an available income benefit rider. Until October 12, 2026, the only available income benefit rider is the Income Benefit.

If the maximum Annuity Date occurs during the Income Period and your Income Payments are greater than the Annuity Payments as calculated for certain Annuity Options, we convert Income Payments to Annuity Payments as described in section 9, The Annuity Phase – When Annuity Payments Begin. Your Annuity Payments do not change unless an Annuitant dies, or we convert Income Payments made under the Dynamic Income payment option to Annuity Payments. The Dynamic Income payment option is discussed in section 11, Income Benefits – Automatic Annual Income Payment Changes. The Annuity Phase ends when we make the last Annuity Payment under your selected Annuity Option.

Assigning the Contract does not change, revoke or replace the originally named Annuitant or Beneficiary; if you also want to change the Annuitant or Beneficiary, you must make a separate request.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1pt;"> </span></div><table cellpadding="0" style="border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-top:0.5pt solid #000000;empty-cells:show;width:494pt; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="height:38pt;"> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;padding-bottom:2.5pt;padding-top:2.5pt;vertical-align:Top;width:494pt;"> <div style="line-height:12pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">● </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:4.15pt;">An assignment may be a taxable event</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">.

We then transfer them to the Index Options on the next Index Anniversary according to your allocation instructions. However, as of October 13, 2026, for Purchase Payments held in the Variable Option, you can make an Early Reallocation request, which will result in a transfer of all assets from the Variable Option to the applicable Index Option(s) before the next Index Anniversary. Additionally, if you begin Income Payments under your selected income benefit on a day other than an Index Anniversary, any Purchase Payments held in the Variable Option will be transferred to the 1-year Term Index Options you select. We apply any Purchase Payments we receive on the Index Effective Date or on an Index Anniversary directly to the Index Options on that day; these Purchase Payments are not held in the Variable Option.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">We only allow Index Option Value transfers between Index Options on Term End Dates.

However, we must receive allocation instruction changes (which will transfer your Index Option Values) in Good Order at our Service Center before the end of the Business Day on the Term End Date (or the next Business Day if the Term End Date is a non-Business Day). </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Changes to your allocation instructions will transfer existing Index Option Values on the Term End Date</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We notify you at least 30 days in advance of each Index Anniversary as a reminder that on the upcoming anniversary you may transfer Index Option Value between Index Options.

Once we add a Crediting Method to your Contract we cannot remove it, or change how it calculates Performance Credits. If we add a new Index Option to your Contract, we cannot change its Buffer or Floor after it is established. For a new Index Option, the minimum Buffer is 5% and the minimum Floor is -25%. However, we can change the renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates associated with any Index Option on each Term Start Date subject to the guaranteed minimums.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1pt;"> </span></div><table cellpadding="0" style="border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-top:0.5pt solid #000000;empty-cells:show;width:494pt; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="height:38pt;"> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;padding-bottom:2.5pt;padding-top:2.5pt;vertical-align:Top;width:494pt;"> <div style="line-height:12pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">● </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:4.15pt;">In order to apply Purchase Payments we receive </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">after</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"> the Index Effective Date to your selected Index Option(s) on </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:14pt;">the next Index Anniversary, we must receive them </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;text-decoration:underline;">before</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"> the end of the Business Day on the Index Anniversary (or </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:14pt;">before the end of the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;text-decoration:underline;">prior</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"> Business Day if the anniversary is a non-Business Day).</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"> </span></div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr style="height:36pt;"> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;padding-bottom:2.5pt;padding-top:2.5pt;vertical-align:Top;width:494pt;"> <div style="line-height:12pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">● </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;margin-left:1.9pt;">Purchase Payments we hold in the Variable Option before transferring them to your selected Index Options are </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;margin-left:14pt;">subject to Contract fees and expenses (e.g. product fee, contract maintenance charge), and market risk and may </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;margin-left:14pt;">lose value.</span></div> </div> </td> </tr> </table><div style="margin-top:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Electronic Allocation Instructions</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We use reasonable procedures to confirm that electronic allocation instructions given to us are genuine.

In most states, this is ten calendar days after you receive the Contract. If you cancel your Contract during the free look period, in most states we return your Contract Value as of the Business Day we receive your cancellation request in Good Order. This may be more or less than your initial Purchase Payment. In states that require us to return Purchase Payments less withdrawals if you cancel your Contract, we return Contract Value if greater.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">IRA Contracts require us to return Purchase Payments less withdrawals.

If you take a withdrawal that is subject to a withdrawal charge and then cancel your Contract during the free look period, we will refund any previously deducted withdrawal charge upon cancellation.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">do not cancel your Contract during this time, we re-allocate your Contract Value to the Index Options according to your allocation instructions on the Index Effective Date.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">In the Contract, the free look provision is also called the right to examine.</span></div><div style="line-height:13.0pt;margin-top:12.5pt;text-align:left;"> <hr style="background-color:#000000;height:2pt;margin-bottom:2pt;margin-left:0%;margin-top:12.0pt;position:relative;text-align:left;top:-2pt;width:494pt;"/><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;text-transform:lowercase;">4.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;line-height:13pt;text-transform:uppercase;"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;text-transform:uppercase;">Index Options</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Overview of the Index Options</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We apply positive, zero, or negative Performance Credits at the end of a Term to amounts allocated to an Index Option based, in part, on the performance of the applicable Index. An investment in an Index Option is not an investment in the Index or in any Index fund.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Some Index Options provide complete protection against negative Index Returns at the end of a Term. Other Index Options provide limited protection against negative Index Returns at the end of a Term through a Buffer or Floor. Despite the Buffer or Floor, you could lose a significant amount of money if the Index for such other Index Options declines in value. You may also lose a significant amount of money due to a negative Daily Adjustment if amounts are removed from such other Index Options prior to the end of a Term.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Contract currently offers Index Options with different types of Crediting Methods, including the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection Strategy with Cap, Index Precision Strategy, Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. We can add new Index Options to your Contract in the future. We can change certain features of an Index Option from one Term to the next, including the Index and the current limit on Index gains (subject to minimum guarantees). We cannot change an existing Index Option’s limit on Index losses (including a Buffer or Floor) or how it calculates Performance Credits. We reserve the right to close any Index Option to new Purchase Payments and transfers, but not for renewal upon maturity.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Contract allows you to transfer between Index Options on Term End Dates. Additionally, you can transfer between Index Options before the Term End Date by executing a Performance Lock and an Early Reallocation. For multi-year Term Index Options, you can also transfer between Index Options before the Term End Date by executing a Performance Lock before the last year of the Term and changing your allocation instructions before the next Index Anniversary. For more information, see section 3, Purchasing the Contract – Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Information regarding the features of each currently offered Index Option, including (i) the Index’s name, (ii) a brief statement describing the assets that the Index seeks to track (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">e.g.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, U.S. large-cap equities), (iii) the Term length, (iv) the Index Option’s Crediting Methodology, (v) the current limit on Index loss, and (vi) the minimum limit on Index gain, is available in Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Limits on Index Losses</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Each Index Option offers a certain level of protection from negative Index Returns, which limits the amount of negative Index Return used in calculating Performance Credits for an Index Option at the end of a Term.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap Index Options offer complete (or 100%) protection from negative Index Returns. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is -25%, we will apply a 0% Performance Credit to your investment (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">i.e.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, no loss due to the negative Index Return).</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Other Index Options include a feature, either a Buffer or Floor, that provides limited protection from negative Index Returns.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">− </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">A Buffer is the maximum amount of negative Index Return that </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">we</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> absorb before applying a negative Performance Credit. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is -25% and the Buffer is 10%, we apply a Performance Credit of -15%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will decrease by 15% since the Term Start Date. This reflects the negative Index Return that exceeds the protection of the 10% Buffer. The Index Precision Strategy, Index Dual Precision Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy offer Index Options with Buffers.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">A Floor, on the other hand, is the maximum amount of negative Index Return </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">you</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> absorb as a negative Performance Credit. We absorb any negative Index Return beyond the Floor. For example, if the Index Return is -25% and the Floor is -10%, we apply a Performance Credit of -10%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will decrease by 10% since the Term Start Date. This reflects the negative Index Return down to the -10% Floor. The Index Guard Strategy offers Index Options with a Floor.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">− </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We currently offer Index Options with 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers, and -10% Floors.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The current limit on Index loss for an Index Option will not change for the life of that Index Option. However, we reserve the right to add new Index Options, as well as close Index Options to new Purchase Payments and transfers. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Term to the next if we add an Index Option or discontinue accepting new allocations into an Index Option. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">However, at least one Index Option with a Buffer no lower than 5% or Floor no lower than </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">-</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">25%, or an Index Option that provides complete protection from Index losses, will always be available for renewal under the Contract.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Prior to selecting an Index Option, you should evaluate the protection from negative Index Returns offered by an Index Option.

For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is 6% and the Trigger Rate is 3%, we apply a Performance Credit of 3%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase by 3% since the Term Start Date.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">− </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">For the Index Dual Precision Strategy, the Trigger Rate will apply if the Index Return is positive, zero, or to a limited extent, negative. For example, assume a Trigger Rate of 3% and a Buffer of 10%. If at the end of a Term, the Index Return is positive, zero, or negative but no lower than -10% (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">i.e.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, not in excess of the Buffer), we apply a positive Performance Credit of 3%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase by 3% since the Term Start Date. However, if the negative Index Return were lower than -10% (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">i.e.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, in excess of the Buffer), we apply a negative Performance Credit equal to the negative Index Return plus the Buffer.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">A Cap represents the maximum positive Performance Credit, if any, applied on a Term End Date. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is 12% and the Cap is 10%, we apply a Performance Credit of 10%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase by 10% since the Term Start Date. The Index Protection Strategy with Cap, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy offer Index Options with a Cap. Index Performance Strategy multi-year Term Index Options have both a Cap and a Participation Rate (as described below).</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">A Participation Rate is the percentage that is multiplied by a positive Index Return in calculating a positive Performance Credit, if any, subject to any applicable Cap. For example, if at the end of a Term, the Participation Rate is 100%, the Cap is 15%, and the Index Return is 12% (which is lower than the Cap), we apply a Performance Credit of 12% (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">i.e.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">, 100% x 12%).

When setting limits on Index losses, we consider many of the factors listed above, as well as the fact that an Index Option’s limit on Index loss will not change for the life of the Index Option.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Due to a combination of factors, including potential changes in interest rates and other market conditions (</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">e.g.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> rising inflation), the current economic environment is evolving. The future impact on the rates we declare cannot be predicted with certainty. The effect of a change in interest rates or other market conditions may not be direct or immediate. There may be a lag in changes to Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates. Interest rates could increase. In a rising interest rate environment, increases in initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, if any, may be substantially slower than increases in interest rates. However, a rising interest rate environment may have the opposite effect on renewal rates and cause renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates to decrease.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We manage our obligation to provide Performance Credits in part by trading call and put options, and other derivatives on the available Indexes. The costs of the call and put options and other derivatives vary based on market conditions, and we may adjust future renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates to reflect these cost changes. The primary factor affecting the differences in the initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates for newly issued Contracts and renewal and Early Reallocation rates for existing Contracts is the difference in what we can earn from these investments for newly issued Contracts versus what we are earning on the investments that were made for existing Contracts. In some instances, we may need to reduce initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, or we may need to substitute an Index. You bear the risk that we may reduce Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, which reduces your opportunity to receive positive Performance Credits.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Terms</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We currently offer Index Options with 1-year, 3-year, and 6-year Terms. Not all Term lengths are available for all types of Crediting Methods. Each Crediting Method offers 1-year Terms. The Index Dual Precision Strategy and Index Performance Strategy also offer 3-year and 6-year Terms.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Prior to selecting an Index Option, you should evaluate the various Term lengths. You should consider which Term lengths may be appropriate for you based on your liquidity needs, investment time horizon, and financial goals. Investing in Index </span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Options with shorter Terms will provide more opportunities for Performance Credits and transferring Contract Value; however, assuming the same Index and limit on Index loss, Index Options with shorter Terms generally tend to have less potential for Index gains. Conversely, investing in Index Options with longer Terms will provide fewer opportunities for Performance Credits and transferring Contract Value; however, assuming the same Index and limit on Index loss, Index Options with longer Terms generally tend to have more potential for gain. Some of the other factors to consider include:</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">How long you intend to hold the Contract.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Daily Adjustment for Index Options with Term lengths of more than 1-year (including multi-year Terms or extended Term lengths resulting from Early Reallocation) may be more negatively impacted by changes in the expected volatility of Index prices than 1-year Term Index Options due to the difference in Term length.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The risk of a negative Daily Adjustment is generally greater for Index Options with a Term length of more than 1 year than for 1-year Term Index Options due to the Term length.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Index Performance Strategy 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options with a Participation Rate above 100% may also have larger fluctuations in the Daily Adjustment than Index Options either without a Participation Rate, or with a Participation Rate equal to 100%.</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">● </span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">For shorter Term lengths, there is more certainty in both the final Index Values and how Trigger Rates, Caps, Buffers, and Floors determine Performance Credits. This means there may be less fluctuation in the Daily Adjustment due to changes in Index return for Index Options with shorter Term lengths.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Amounts must remain in an Index Option until the end of its Term to receive a Performance Credit and to avoid a possible negative Daily Adjustment, potential withdrawal charges, and any applicable tax consequences.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> The Daily Adjustment applies to full or partial withdrawals taken from an Index Option before the end of a Term. The Daily Adjustment also applies if, before the Term End Date, you take Income Payments, you execute a Performance Lock, you annuitize the Contract, we pay a death benefit, or we deduct Contract fees and expenses. For more information, see section 7, Expenses and Adjustments – Daily Adjustment.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase;">Maturity</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We will send you a letter at least 30 days before each Index Anniversary. This letter advises you that current Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates are expiring, and that renewal rates for the next Term Start Date will be available for your review. The Index Anniversary letter also reminds you of your opportunity to transfer your Index Option Values on the upcoming Term End Date. Renewal rates could be higher or lower than your current Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates, subject to the guaranteed minimums. On each Term End Date, you have the option of remaining allocated to your current Index Options at the renewal Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates that we set on the next Term Start Date, or transferring to another permitted Index Option.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">At least seven calendar days before each Index Anniversary, we publish renewal rates for the next Term Start Date for your review in your account on our website, and on our public website at </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">https://www.allianzlife.com/RILAselectincomerates</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">.

For example, if at the end of a Term, the Index Return is 12% and the Cap is 10%, we apply a Performance Credit of 10%, meaning your Contract Value allocated to that Index Option will increase by 10% since the Term Start Date. The Index Protection Strategy with Cap, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy offer Index Options with a Cap.

The Daily Adjustment primarily takes into account:</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">(i)</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">any Index gains during the Term subject to the applicable Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">(ii)</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, any Index losses less than or equal to the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer,</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">(iii)</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">either any Index losses greater than the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer, or Index losses down to the -10% Floor (not applicable to the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy with Cap), and</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">(iv)</span></div><div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">the number of days until the Term End Date.</span></div> 0 0.99 0.35 <div style="margin-top:9pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">Such losses will be greater if the amount withdrawn is also subject to a withdrawal charge, or is a deduction of Contract fees and expenses.</span></div> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">A withdrawal taken during the Term may not receive the full benefit of the Buffer or Floor because the Daily Adjustment takes into account what may potentially happen between the withdrawal date and the Term End Date. All other factors being equal, even if the current Index return during the Term is greater than the Trigger Rate or Cap, the Daily Adjustment will usually be lower than the Cap or Trigger Rate. For the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Precision Strategy, even if the current Index return during the Term is greater than or equal to zero, the Daily Adjustment will usually be lower than the Trigger Rate. For the Index Dual Precision Strategy, even if the Index return during the Term is positive, zero, or negative and within the applicable Buffer, the Daily Adjustment will usually be lower than the Trigger Rate. This is because there is a possibility that the Index return could decrease before the Term End Date. Similarly, even though a negative Index return may be within the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer for the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy, you still may receive a negative Daily Adjustment because there is a possibility that the Index Return could decrease before the Term End Date. The Daily Adjustment for Index Options with a Term length of more than 1 year may be more negatively impacted by changes in the expected volatility of Index prices than 1-year Term Index Options due to the difference in Term length. Also, the risk of a negative Daily Adjustment is generally greater for Index Options with a Term length of more than 1 year than for 1-year Term Index Options due to the Term length. The Index Performance Strategy 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options with a Participation Rate above 100% may also have larger fluctuations in the Daily Adjustment than Index Options either without a Participation Rate, or with a Participation Rate equal to 100%. Finally, a negative Index return for the Index Guard Strategy may result in you receiving a Daily Adjustment lower than the -10% Floor, because the Daily Adjustment reflects the present value of the Floor and you will not receive the full benefit of the -10% Floor until the Term End Date.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;"> A negative Daily Adjustment may cause you to realize loss of principal and previous earnings.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;line-height:12pt;"> </span></div> <div style="margin-left:50pt;margin-top:36pt;width:494pt;min-height:670pt;"> <div style="line-height:13.0pt;margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;"> <hr style="background-color:#000000;height:2pt;margin-bottom:2pt;margin-left:0%;margin-top:0pt;text-align:left;top:-2pt;width:494pt;"/><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;text-transform:lowercase;">10.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;line-height:13pt;text-transform:uppercase;"> </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial;font-size:11pt;text-transform:uppercase;">Benefits Available Under the Contract</span></div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The following tables summarize information about the benefits available under the Contract.

On the Income Payment election form, you select the Income Benefit Date that you want Income Payments to begin. You can choose between an immediate Income Benefit Date (the Business Day we receive the form in Good Order) or a deferred Income Benefit Date (the next Index Anniversary). However, the Income Benefit Date cannot occur within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary. If we receive an otherwise in Good Order form within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary, and you request an immediate Income Benefit Date, we will instead automatically defer your payments to begin on the next Index Anniversary. At least one Eligible Person must remain in the Contract and be alive on the Income Benefit Date in order for Income Payments to begin. Joint payments are only available if there are two Eligible Persons on the Income Benefit Date. On the Income Benefit Date, we require updated allocation instructions.

The annual actual Income Payment is the total amount you choose to receive each year. Each scheduled Income Payment you receive is equal to the annual actual Income Payment divided by the number of payments you chose to receive during the Income Benefit Year. Each scheduled Income Payment must either be zero, or $100 or more. For example, you cannot request a scheduled payment of $50.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Any part of your annual maximum payment that you do not withdraw in a given Income Benefit Year is not added to the annual maximum payment available next year. However, if your actual Income Payment is less than your annual maximum payment, you can withdraw the difference and we consider that withdrawal to be an additional actual Income Payment, and not an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal, and not subject to a withdrawal charge. We do not consider a withdrawal to be an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal until you have withdrawn the available annual maximum Income Payment amount. In addition, once we have paid out your annual maximum Income Payment, we will not make any further scheduled Income Payments for the rest of the Income Benefit Year. For example, assume you select the Income Benefit, your annual maximum Income Payment is $2,000 and you take scheduled semi-annual Income Payments of $500. Within an Income Benefit Year, you can take an additional withdrawal of up to $1,000 and we consider that to be an additional scheduled Income Payment. If instead you withdraw $1,200 after receiving the first $500 payment, we consider that withdrawal to be an additional scheduled Income Payment. On the date of the next scheduled Income Payment, we will send you only $300 because that is the amount remaining from your $2,000 annual maximum. If you then took an additional withdrawal of $200 in that Income Benefit Year, we consider that $200 to be an Excess Withdrawal subject to a withdrawal charge.</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If you have the Income Benefit and would like to take less than the maximum available payment, you can change your payment amount once each Income Benefit Year while your Contract Value is positive.

If you had not made the additional Purchase in the fourth Index Year, your Contract Value would have been $22,997.50 ($25,000 - $2,002.50) and we calculate your annual maximum Income Payment as follows.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1pt;"> </span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:0.0pt;margin-top:6.0pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"> </div> </div> <div style="margin-top:0.0pt;"> <table cellpadding="0" style="border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-left:0.5pt solid #000000;border-right:0.5pt solid #000000;border-top:0.5pt solid #000000;empty-cells:show;width:494pt; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="height:13.5pt;"> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-right:0.5pt solid #000000;padding-bottom:2.125pt;padding-top:2.125pt;vertical-align:Bottom;width:247pt;"> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:6pt;margin-right:5.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">If you select Level Income, you receive the greater of….</span></div> </div> </td> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;padding-bottom:2.125pt;padding-top:2.125pt;vertical-align:Bottom;width:247pt;"> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:5.75pt;margin-right:6pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:9pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">If you select Dynamic Income, you receive…</span></div> </div> </td> </tr> <tr style="height:61.5pt;"> <td style="border-right:0.5pt solid #000000;padding-bottom:2pt;padding-top:2.125pt;vertical-align:Top;width:247pt;"> <div style="line-height:12pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:6pt;margin-right:5.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">• Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage multiplied by </span></div> <div style="margin-left:6pt;margin-right:5.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:7.34pt;">total Purchase Payments reduced proportionately for </span></div> <div style="margin-left:6pt;margin-right:5.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:7.34pt;">withdrawals you took, or: </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">(2.71% x $20,000) = $542.00</span></div> <div style="margin-left:6pt;margin-right:5.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">• Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by the Contract Value, </span></div> <div style="margin-left:6pt;margin-right:5.75pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:7.34pt;">or: (5.20% x $22,997.50) = </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">$1,195.87</span></div> </div> </td> <td style="padding-bottom:2pt;padding-top:2.125pt;vertical-align:Top;width:247pt;"> <div style="line-height:12pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:5.75pt;margin-right:6pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">• Lifetime Income Percentage multiplied by the Contract Value, </span></div> <div style="margin-left:5.75pt;margin-right:6pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;margin-left:7.34pt;">or: (4.20% x $22,997.50) = </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:0.0pt;">$965.90</span></div> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:12pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:12pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Example of when the Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage may increase the initial Income Payment</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6.5pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Assume you are the sole Owner, you are not married, and your initial Purchase Payment is $100,000.

Any partial Excess Withdrawal must be for at least $100, and, after the partial Excess Withdrawal, the Contract Value must be at least $2,000. If the Contract Value is less than $2,000, you cannot request a partial Excess Withdrawal, but you can take a full Excess Withdrawal.

Partial Excess Withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges, but not amounts we withdraw for other Contract fees and expenses) immediately reduce the Contract Value on a dollar for dollar basis, and reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. Partial Excess Withdrawals also reduce the annual maximum Income Payment on the next Income Benefit Anniversary by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. (The impact of withdrawals, including Excess Withdrawals, on the Charge Base is included in Appendix D - Annual Contract Fees Calculation Examples.)</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The example assumes an Excess Withdrawal of $5,000 when the Contract Value is $100,000, and the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value under the Traditional Death Benefit is $90,000, or $105,000 under the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit.

Partial Excess Withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges but not amounts we withdraw for other Contract fees and expenses) immediately reduce the Contract Value on a dollar for dollar basis and reduce the both the Legacy Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn.

Partial Legacy Withdrawals (which are not subject to a withdrawal charge and do not include amounts we withdraw for other Contract fees and expenses) immediately reduce both the Contract Value and Legacy Value on a dollar for dollar basis and reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. Partial Legacy Withdrawals also reduce the annual maximum Income Payment on the next Income Benefit Anniversary by the percentage of Legacy Value withdrawn.

It also assumes a $5,000 Excess Withdrawal in the first Income Benefit Year when the Contract Value is $100,000, and the Traditional Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is $90,000.

The Traditional Death Benefit is only available during the Accumulation Phase (and Income Period, if applicable) and is payable upon the first death of a Determining Life (Lives).</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit</span></div> </div> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;margin-top:6pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is the greater of the Contract Value, or Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. If selected, the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit replaces the Traditional Death Benefit. The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit differs from the Traditional Death Benefit in that the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is the Maximum Anniversary Value. The Maximum Anniversary Value is the highest Contract Value on any Index Anniversary before age 91, increased by the dollar amount of subsequent Purchase Payments, and reduced proportionately for subsequent withdrawals you take (including any withdrawal charge). The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is only available during the Accumulation Phase (and Income Period, if applicable) and is payable upon the first death of a Determining Life (Lives). The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit can only be selected at issue if all Owners and the Annuitant are age 75 or younger, and it is not available if you select the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-style:italic;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Income Benefit. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">The Maximum </span></div> </div><div style="margin-left:50pt;margin-top:36pt;width:494pt;min-height:670pt;"> <div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Anniversary Value Death Benefit cannot be less than the Traditional Death Benefit, but they may be equal.

On the first death of a Determining Life during the Accumulation Phase, the death benefit for the Traditional Death Benefit is the $100,000 Contract Value.

If a Beneficiary dies before you or the Designated Life, that Beneficiary’s interest in this Contract ends unless your Beneficiary designation specifies otherwise. If there are no remaining Beneficiaries, or no named Beneficiaries, we pay the death benefit to your estate, or if the Owner is a non-individual, to the Owner.

You can remove your selected income benefit by completing the appropriate form. We remove this benefit from your Contract on the Index Anniversary (or on the next Business Day if the Index Anniversary is not a Business Day) that occurs immediately after we receive your request in Good Order at our Service Center, and the rider termination date is that Index Anniversary.

However, it is possible in periods of extremely low return that the Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage could result in a higher initial Income Payment. In those circumstances, we base Income Payments on total Purchase Payments adjusted for withdrawals instead of Contract Value. We base each Lifetime Income Percentage on its </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Income Percentage(s)</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> and </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Income Percentage Increase</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> (the amount that each Lifetime Income Percentage can increase on each Index Anniversary up to and including the Income Benefit Date).

On the Income Payment election form, you select the Income Benefit Date that you want Income Payments to begin. You can choose between an immediate Income Benefit Date (the Business Day we receive the form in Good Order) or a deferred Income Benefit Date (the next Index Anniversary). However, the Income Benefit Date cannot occur within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary. If we receive an otherwise in Good Order form within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary, and you request an immediate Income Benefit Date, we will instead automatically defer your payments to begin on the next Index Anniversary. At least one Eligible Person must remain in the Contract and be alive on the Income Benefit Date in order for Income Payments to begin. Joint payments are only available if there are two Eligible Persons on the Income Benefit Date. On the Income Benefit Date, we require updated allocation instructions. If you have Contract Value in an Index Option for which the Income Benefit Date is not a Term End Date, we will execute a Performance Lock for that Index Option if it is </span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">not locked, and in such case the Index Option Value will be subject to the Daily Adjustment. We then reallocate the total Contract Value, including any amount in the Variable Option, into the available 1-year Term Index Options according to your allocation instructions, and immediately calculate and begin your Income Payments. If you have Index Options with different Term End Dates, there may be no Income Benefit Date you can select without application of at least one Daily Adjustment.

If the change is available, we implement it on the Income Benefit Anniversary, and it remains in effect until the benefit ends or you request another change.

The annual actual Income Payment is the total amount you choose to receive each year. Each scheduled Income Payment you receive is equal to the annual actual Income Payment divided by the number of payments you chose to receive during the Income Benefit Year. Each scheduled Income Payment must either be zero, or $100 or more. For example, you cannot request a scheduled payment of $50.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Any part of your annual maximum payment that you do not withdraw in a given Income Benefit Year is not added to the annual maximum payment available next year. However, if your actual Income Payment is less than your annual maximum payment, you can withdraw the difference and we consider that withdrawal to be an additional actual Income Payment, and not an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal, and not subject to a withdrawal charge. We do not consider a withdrawal to be an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal until you have withdrawn the available annual maximum Income Payment amount. In addition, once we have paid out your annual maximum Income Payment, we will not make any further scheduled Income Payments for the rest of the Income Benefit Year. For example, assume you select the Income Benefit, your annual maximum Income Payment is $2,000 and you take scheduled semi-annual Income Payments of $500. Within an Income Benefit Year, you can take an additional withdrawal of up to $1,000 and we consider that to be an additional scheduled Income Payment. If instead you withdraw $1,200 after receiving the first $500 payment, we consider that withdrawal to be an additional scheduled Income Payment. On the date of the next scheduled Income Payment, we will send you only $300 because that is the amount remaining from your $2,000 annual maximum. If you then took an additional withdrawal of $200 in that Income Benefit Year, we consider that $200 to be an Excess Withdrawal subject to a withdrawal charge.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If you have the Income Benefit and would like to take less than the maximum available payment, you can change your payment amount once each Income Benefit Year while your Contract Value is positive.

We must receive your request to change your Income Payment amount in Good Order at our Service Center no later than five Business Days before the Income Benefit Anniversary. If the change is available, we implement it on the Income Benefit Anniversary, and it remains in effect until your selected income benefit ends or you request another change.</span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If, on a Business Day that we deduct an Income Payment, your Contract Value is less than the payment amount, we will add the difference between these amounts to your Contract Value and then deduct the Income Payment which will reduce your Contract Value to zero. If your Contract Value reduces to zero during the Income Period for any reason other than an Excess Withdrawal, Legacy Withdrawal, or annuitization that does not convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments, you will continue to receive your Income Payments at the previous selected payment frequency until the earlier of the death of the Owner or last surviving Covered Person. If you select the Income Benefit, you will receive the maximum available Income Payment.

However, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">if you select Level Income,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> your Income Payments will no longer increase.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We deduct each Income Payment, Excess Withdrawal, Legacy Withdrawal, and any additional payment resulting from a required minimum distribution, proportionately from the Index Options to which you are allocated. While the Contract Value is positive, you can make transfers between the Index Options and execute Performance Locks and Early Reallocations. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">If you select Dynamic Income,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> once the Contract Value reduces to zero, you can continue to change your Index Option allocations and execute Performance Locks and Early Reallocations as long as your selected income benefit is in effect. With Dynamic Income, we base changes to your annual maximum Income Payment on the proportion of Contract Value in each Index Option at the end of the last Business Day that your Contract Value is positive. However, you can change the proportion of each Index Option that we use to calculate these changes after the Contract Value is equal to zero by providing an authorized request to our Service Center.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1pt;"> </span></div><table cellpadding="0" style="border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-top:0.5pt solid #000000;empty-cells:show;width:494pt; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="height:74pt;"> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;padding-bottom:2.5pt;padding-top:2.5pt;vertical-align:Top;width:494pt;"> <div style="line-height:12pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">● </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:4.15pt;">For Qualified Contracts:</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"> If we calculate a required minimum distribution (RMD) based on this Contract, after </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:14pt;">making all Income Payments for the calendar year we determine whether this calendar year’s total RMD has been </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:14pt;">satisfied by these payments and any Excess Withdrawals or Legacy Withdrawals.

Partial Excess Withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges, but not amounts we withdraw for other Contract fees and expenses) immediately reduce the Contract Value on a dollar for dollar basis, and reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. Partial Excess Withdrawals also reduce the annual maximum Income Payment on the next Income Benefit Anniversary by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. (The impact of withdrawals, including Excess Withdrawals, on the Charge Base is included in Appendix D - Annual Contract Fees Calculation Examples.)</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The example assumes an Excess Withdrawal of $5,000 when the Contract Value is $100,000, and the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value under the Traditional Death Benefit is $90,000, or $105,000 under the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit. All fractional numbers in these examples have been rounded up to the next whole number.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1pt;"> </span></div><table

A Legacy Withdrawal is a Penalty-Free Withdrawal and is not subject to a withdrawal charge. An Excess Withdrawal is the amount of any withdrawal you take during an Income Benefit Year when the Contract Value is greater than the Legacy Value that causes the total amount withdrawn in that year to exceed the annual maximum Income Payment.

Legacy Withdrawals immediately reduce both the Contract Value and Legacy Value dollar for dollar and reduce the Traditional Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. Excess Withdrawals and Legacy Withdrawals also reduce your annual maximum Income Payment on the next Income Benefit Anniversary after the withdrawal. For each Excess Withdrawal, we reduce your annual maximum payment by the same percentage that we reduced the Contract Value. For each Legacy Withdrawal, we reduce your annual maximum payment by the same percentage that we reduced the Legacy Value. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">If a partial Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal reduces your annual maximum Income Payment to less than $100, we send you the Cash Value (if you took an Excess Withdrawal) or the Legacy Value (if you took a Legacy Withdrawal), </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:bold;">which will cause Income Payments to stop and the Contract to end</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Excess Withdrawal and Legacy Withdrawal Examples</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">These calculations show the effects of an Excess Withdrawal and a Legacy Withdrawal on the Contract Value, Legacy Value, the Traditional Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, Income Payments, and the death benefit. Partial Excess Withdrawals (including any withdrawal charges but not amounts we withdraw for other Contract fees and expenses) immediately reduce the Contract Value on a dollar for dollar basis and reduce the both the Legacy Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. Partial Excess Withdrawals also reduce the annual maximum Income Payment on the next Income Benefit Anniversary by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. Partial Legacy Withdrawals (which are not subject to a withdrawal charge and do not include amounts we withdraw for other Contract fees and expenses) immediately reduce both the Contract Value and Legacy Value on a dollar for dollar basis and reduce the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn. Partial Legacy Withdrawals also reduce the annual maximum Income Payment on the next Income Benefit Anniversary by the percentage of Legacy Value withdrawn. (The impact of withdrawals, including Excess Withdrawals and Legacy Withdrawals, on the Charge Base is included in Appendix D - Annual Contract Fees Calculation Examples.)</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The example assumes a sole Owner who is both the sole Covered Person and the sole Determining Life, the withdrawal charge period has expired, selection of Level Income, a 50% Legacy Value Percentage and a Contract Value of $102,000 on the Income Benefit Date, which yields a Legacy Value of $51,000 (50% x $102,000 Contract Value). It also assumes a $5,000 Excess Withdrawal in the first Income Benefit Year when the Contract Value is $100,000, and the Traditional Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is $90,000.

We must receive your request to change your Income Payment frequency in Good Order at our Service Center no later than five Business Days before the Income Benefit Anniversary. If the change is available, we implement it on the Income Benefit Anniversary, and it remains in effect until the benefit ends or you request another change.

The annual actual Income Payment is the total amount you choose to receive each year. Each scheduled Income Payment you receive is equal to the annual actual Income Payment divided by the number of payments you chose to receive during the Income Benefit Year. Each scheduled Income Payment must either be zero, or $100 or more. For example, you cannot request a scheduled payment of $50.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Any part of your annual maximum payment that you do not withdraw in a given Income Benefit Year is not added to the annual maximum payment available next year. However, if your actual Income Payment is less than your annual maximum payment, you can withdraw the difference and we consider that withdrawal to be an additional actual Income Payment, and not an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal, and not subject to a withdrawal charge. We do not consider a withdrawal to be an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal until you have withdrawn the available annual maximum Income Payment amount. In addition, once we have paid out your annual maximum Income Payment, we will not make any further scheduled Income Payments for the rest of the Income Benefit Year. For example, assume you select the Income Benefit, your annual maximum Income Payment is $2,000 and you take scheduled semi-annual Income Payments of $500. Within an Income Benefit Year, you can take an additional withdrawal of up to $1,000 and we consider that to be an additional scheduled Income Payment. If instead you withdraw $1,200 after receiving the first $500 payment, we consider that withdrawal to be an additional scheduled Income Payment. On the date of the next scheduled Income Payment, we will send you only $300 because that is the amount remaining from your $2,000 annual maximum. If you then took an additional withdrawal of $200 in that Income Benefit Year, we consider that $200 to be an Excess Withdrawal subject to a withdrawal charge.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If you have the Income Benefit and would like to take less than the maximum available payment, you can change your payment amount once each Income Benefit Year while your Contract Value is positive.

We must receive your request to change your Income Payment amount in Good Order at our Service Center no later than five Business Days before the Income Benefit Anniversary. If the change is available, we implement it on the Income Benefit Anniversary, and it remains in effect until your selected income benefit ends or you request another change.</span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If, on a Business Day that we deduct an Income Payment, your Contract Value is less than the payment amount, we will add the difference between these amounts to your Contract Value and then deduct the Income Payment which will reduce your Contract Value to zero. If your Contract Value reduces to zero during the Income Period for any reason other than an Excess Withdrawal, Legacy Withdrawal, or annuitization that does not convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments, you will continue to receive your Income Payments at the previous selected payment frequency until the earlier of the death of the Owner or last surviving Covered Person. If you select the Income Benefit, you will receive the maximum available Income Payment. However, if you select the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-style:italic;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Income Benefit, you can choose to take less than the maximum available Income Payment. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">If you select Dynamic Income,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> you can continue to receive payment changes based on Index Option performance. This includes any Income Payment increases or decreases based on Performance Credits for Index Options at their Term End Date and Daily Adjustment percentages for Index Options on which you executed Performance Locks. However, </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">if you select Level Income,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> your Income Payments will no longer increase.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">We deduct each Income Payment, Excess Withdrawal, Legacy Withdrawal, and any additional payment resulting from a required minimum distribution, proportionately from the Index Options to which you are allocated. While the Contract Value is positive, you can make transfers between the Index Options and execute Performance Locks and Early Reallocations. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">If you select Dynamic Income,</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> once the Contract Value reduces to zero, you can continue to change your Index Option allocations and execute Performance Locks and Early Reallocations as long as your selected income benefit is in effect. With Dynamic Income, we base changes to your annual maximum Income Payment on the proportion of Contract Value in each Index Option at the end of the last Business Day that your Contract Value is positive. However, you can change the proportion of each Index Option that we use to calculate these changes after the Contract Value is equal to zero by providing an authorized request to our Service Center.</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:1pt;"> </span></div><table cellpadding="0" style="border-bottom:0.5pt solid #000000;border-top:0.5pt solid #000000;empty-cells:show;width:494pt; border-spacing: 0px;"> <tr style="height:74pt;"> <td style="background-color:#D8D8D8;padding-bottom:2.5pt;padding-top:2.5pt;vertical-align:Top;width:494pt;"> <div style="line-height:12pt;text-align:left;"> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;">● </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;margin-left:4.15pt;">For Qualified Contracts:</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:0.0pt;"> If we calculate a required minimum distribution (RMD) based on this Contract, after </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:14pt;">making all Income Payments for the calendar year we determine whether this calendar year’s total RMD has been </span></div> <div style="margin-left:4pt;margin-right:4pt;text-align:Left;white-space:nowrap;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;margin-left:14pt;">satisfied by these payments and any Excess Withdrawals or Legacy Withdrawals.

The Traditional Death Benefit is only available during the Accumulation Phase (and Income Period, if applicable) and is payable upon the first death of a Determining Life (Lives).</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Arial Narrow;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is the greater of the Contract Value, or Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. If selected, the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit replaces the Traditional Death Benefit. The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit differs from the Traditional Death Benefit in that the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is the Maximum Anniversary Value. The Maximum Anniversary Value is the highest Contract Value on any Index Anniversary before age 91, increased by the dollar amount of subsequent Purchase Payments, and reduced proportionately for subsequent withdrawals you take (including any withdrawal charge). The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is only available during the Accumulation Phase (and Income Period, if applicable) and is payable upon the first death of a Determining Life (Lives). The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit can only be selected at issue if all Owners and the Annuitant are age 75 or younger, and it is not available if you select the </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">Legacy+</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:6.5pt;font-style:italic;position:relative;top:-4.25pt;">TM</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;"> Income Benefit. </span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">The Maximum </span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Anniversary Value Death Benefit cannot be less than the Traditional Death Benefit, but they may be equal.

(For information on due proof of death see the Glossary – Valid Claim). If we receive this information at or after the end of the current Business Day, we use the next Business Day’s prices.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If there are multiple Beneficiaries, each Beneficiary receives the portion of the death benefit he or she is entitled to when we receive his or her Valid Claim. If a Beneficiary dies before you or the Designated Life, that Beneficiary’s interest in this Contract ends unless your Beneficiary designation specifies otherwise. If there are no remaining Beneficiaries, or no named Beneficiaries, we pay the death benefit to your estate, or if the Owner is a non-individual, to the Owner. Unless you instruct us to pay Beneficiaries a specific percentage of the death benefit, each Beneficiary receives an equal share.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">Each Beneficiary’s portion of the death benefit remains in the Index Options based on the allocation instructions that were in effect on the date of death until we receive his or her Valid Claim and we either pay the claim or the Beneficiary provides alternate allocation instructions. If there is Variable Account Value in the Variable Option on the date of death, it remains there until the next Index Anniversary. If an Index Anniversary occurs before we receive a Valid Claim, we will transfer that Beneficiary’s portion of the Variable Account Value to the Index Options based on the allocation instructions that were in effect on the date of death.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">From the time we determine the death benefit until we make a complete distribution, any amount in the Investment Options continues to be subject to investment risk that is borne by the recipient(s). Once we receive notification of death, we may no longer accept or process transfer requests. After we receive the first Valid Claim from any Beneficiary, we also will not accept additional Purchase Payments or allow any partial or full withdrawals unless the withdrawal is required to comply with federal tax law.</span></div><div style="line-height:12.0pt;text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;">If the date we are determining the death benefit is not the Term End Date, the Contract Value reflects the Daily Adjustment.

We may change certain features of the Index Options listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains), offer new Index Options, and close Index Options to new Purchase Payments and transfers. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at https://www.allianzlife.com/RILAselectincomerates. During the Income Period of your selected income benefit, you may not be able to invest in certain Index Options, as noted below.</span></div><div style="margin-top:6pt;"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Note: If amounts are removed from an Index Option before the Term End Date, we will apply a Daily Adjustment. Except for Index Options under the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap, this may result in a significant reduction in your Contract Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if such amounts were not removed from the Index Option until the Term End Date. The Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap are unique in that the Daily Adjustment for them cannot be negative.</span></div> <table cellpadding="0"

Index Values are based on the ETF’s closing share price. Index performance is calculated on a “price return” basis, not a “total return” basis, and therefore does not reflect the dividends paid on the securities in which the ETF invests. In addition, an ETF deducts fees and costs, which reduce Index performance. These factors will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the ETF or the securities in which the ETF invests.</span> N-4 0000836346 false 2026-09-25
