| | FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS | Prospectus Location | ||
| Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals? | Yes, your Contract may be subject to charges for early withdrawals. If you withdraw money within changes in interest rates will apply. An MVA may be positive, negative, or equal to zero. The maximum negative MVA is - as a percentage of the amount withdrawn for a partial withdrawal). For example, if you take a $100,000 withdrawal during the period the MVA applies, you could lose up to $10,000 due to a negative MVA. This loss will be greater if there is a negative Daily Adjustment, income taxes, or tax penalties. In addition, if you take a full or partial withdrawal from an Index Option on a date other than the Term End Date, a Daily Adjustment will apply to the Index Option Value available for withdrawal. 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, expenses, or investment advisory fees you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. The Daily Adjustment may be negative depending on the applicable Crediting Method. You will lose money if the Daily Adjustment is negative. ●Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. Daily Adjustments under these Crediting Methods may be positive, negative, or equal to zero. A negative Daily Adjustment will result in a loss, and could result in a loss beyond the protection of the 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer; or -10% Floor, as applicable. 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. For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a 1-year Term Index Option with 10% Buffer and later withdraw the entire amount before the Term has ended, you could lose up to $99,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater if you also are subject to a negative MVA, income taxes, and tax penalties. ●Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap. Daily Adjustments under these Crediting Methods may be positive or equal to zero, but cannot be negative. | Fee Tables 7. Expenses and Adjustments Appendix C – Daily Adjustment | ||
| Are There Transaction Charges? | No. Other than negative MVAs and Daily Adjustments that may apply to withdrawals and other transactions under the Contract, there are no other transaction charges. | Not Applicable | ||
| | FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS | Prospectus Location | ||
| Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses? | Yes, there are ongoing fees and expenses. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. These ongoing fees and expenses do not reflect any investment advisory fees paid to a Financial Professional from your Contract Value or other assets of the Owner. If such charges were reflected, these ongoing fees and expenses would be higher. There is an implicit ongoing fee on Index Options to the extent that your participation in Index gains is limited by us through a Cap or Trigger Rate. This means that your returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses. This implicit ongoing fee is not reflected in the tables below. Additionally, if we add Index Options with a guaranteed minimum Participation Rate less than 100%, the Participation Rate would be an implicit ongoing fee and limit Index gains. | Fee Tables 1.

Annual Fee | Minimum | Maximum | ||
Base Contract(1) | ||||
Investment Options(2) (Fund fees and expenses) | ||||
Optional Benefits Available for an Additional Charge(3) (for a single optional benefit, if elected) | ||||
(1) Base Contract fee is comprised of two charges referred to as the “product fee” and the “rider fee(s)” for your selected income benefit. You are required to select one of the income benefit riders at issue. As a percentage of the Charge Base, plus an amount attributable to the contract maintenance charge. | ||||

(3) As a percentage of the Charge Base. This is the current charge for the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit. | ||||
Because your Contract is customizable, the choices you make affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your Contract, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year, based on current charges. This estimate assumes that you do not take withdrawals from the Contract, which could add a negative Daily Adjustment and/or negative MVA that could substantially increase costs. | ||||

Assumes: ●Investment of $100,000 in the Variable Option (even though you cannot select the Variable Option for investment) ●5% annual appreciation ●0.70% Income Benefit rider fee ●Traditional Death Benefit ●No additional Purchase Payments, transfers, or withdrawals ●No investment advisory fees ●No Daily Adjustment | Assumes: ●Investment of $100,000 in the Variable Option (even though you cannot select the Variable Option for investment) ●5% annual appreciation ●1.55% Legacy+TM Income Benefit rider fees ●No additional Purchase Payments, transfers, or withdrawals ●No investment advisory fees ●No Daily Adjustment | | ||
| | RISKS | Prospectus Location | ||
| Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance? | Yes, you can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal and previous earnings. The maximum amount of loss that you could experience from negative Index Return, after taking into account the current limits on Index loss provided under the Contract, is: -90% with a 10% Buffer; -80% with a 20% Buffer; -70% with a 30% Buffer; -10% with the Floor; and 0% with the Index Protection Strategy with Cap and Index Protection Strategy with Trigger. 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. However, 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. | Principal Risks of Investing In the Contract 4. Index Options 6. Valuing Your Contract – Calculating Performance Credits | ||
| Is This a Short-Term Investment? | No, this Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate if you need ready access to cash. • Considering the benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefit guarantees, the Contract is generally more beneficial to investors with a long investment time horizon. • Withdrawals are subject to income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. • If, within seven years after we establish an Annual Contribution Amount, you take a full or partial withdrawal or begin Annuity Payments, or we pay a death benefit, an MVA will apply. An MVA is an adjustment based on changes in interest rates and may be positive, negative, or equal to zero. An MVA will be negative if the corporate bond yield on the date of deduction is higher than the corporate bond yield on the date that the Annual Contribution Amount was established. If you take a full withdrawal or begin Annuity Payments, or if we pay a death benefit, the maximum negative MVA is -10% of Contract Value. On a partial withdrawal, we limit the maximum negative MVA to -10% of the amount withdrawn. • Amounts invested in an Index Option must be held in the Index Option for the full Term before they can receive a Performance Credit. We apply a Daily Adjustment 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, expenses, or investment advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract. • The Daily Adjustment may be negative with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. You will lose money if the Daily Adjustment is negative. • Withdrawals and other deductions from an Index Option prior to a Term End Date will result in a proportionate reduction to your Index Option Base. The proportionate reduction could be greater than the amount withdrawn or deducted. Reductions to your Index Option Base will result in lower Index Option Values for the remainder of the Term and lower gains (if any) on the Term End Date. • On the Term End Date, you can transfer assets invested in an Index Option by changing your allocation instructions. If you do not change your allocation instructions, you will continue to be invested in the same Index Option with a new Term Start Date. The new Term will be subject to the applicable renewal Trigger Rate, Cap, and/or Participation Rate. | Principal Risks of Investing In the Contract 4. Index Options 6. Valuing Your Contract 7.

What are the
Risks
Associated
with the
Investment
Options?
|
• An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance
and
can vary depending on the performance of the Variable Option and the Index Options
available under the Contract.
• The Variable Option and each Index Option have their own unique risks.
• You should review the Fund’s prospectus and disclosures, including risk factors, before
making an investment decision.
• Caps and Trigger Rates will limit positive Performance Credits (e.g., limited upside).
This
may result in earning less than the Index Return.
– For example, if at the end of a 1-year Term, the Index Return is 25% and the Cap is
15%, we apply a Performance Credit of 15%, meaning your Contract Value allocated
to that Index Option will increase by 15% since the Term Start Date. If at the end
of the
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.
• The Buffer or Floor will limit negative Performance Credits (e.g., limited protection
in the
case of Index decline). However, you bear the risk for all Index losses that exceed
the Buffer. You also bear the risk for Index losses down to the Floor.
– 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. 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.
• The Indexes are price return indexes, not total return indexes. This means that the
Index
Options do not receive any dividends payable on these securities. The Index Options
also
do not directly participate in the returns of the Indexes or the Indexes’ component
securities. This will reduce the Index Return and may cause the Index to underperform
a
direct investment in the securities composing the Index.

| | RESTRICTIONS | Prospectus Location | ||
| Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options? | Yes, there are limits on the Investment Options. • Certain Index Options may not be available under your Contract (see Appendix A). • The availability of Investment Options may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold (see Appendix H). • We can add new Index Options to your Contract in the future. • You cannot allocate Purchase Payments to the Variable Option. The sole purpose of the Variable Option is to hold Purchase Payments until they are transferred to your selected Index Options. • We restrict additional Purchase Payments during the Accumulation Phase. Each Index Year before the Income Period, you cannot add more than your initial amount (i.e., the total of all Purchase Payments received before the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary of the first Contract Year) without our prior approval. • We do not accept additional Purchase Payments during the Income Period (which is part of the Accumulation Phase) or the Annuity Phase. • We typically only allow assets to move into the Index Options on the Index Effective Date and on subsequent Index Anniversaries as discussed in section 3, Purchasing the Contract – Allocation of Purchase Payments and Contract Value Transfers. However, if you execute an Early Reallocation, we will move assets into an Index Option on the Business Day we receive your Early Reallocation request in Good Order. • You can typically transfer Index Option Value only on Term End Dates. However, you can transfer all assets out of an Index Option before the Term End Date by first executing a Performance Lock and then either requesting an Early Reallocation with new allocation instructions or changing your allocation instructions before the next Index Anniversary. For more information, see section 6, Valuing Your Contract – Performance Locks and Early Reallocations. • We do not allow assets to move into an established Index Option until the Term End Date. If you request to allocate a Purchase Payment into an established Index Option on an Index Anniversary that is not a Term End Date, we will allocate those assets to the same Index Option with a new Term Start Date. • We reserve the right to substitute the Fund in which the Variable Option invests. We also reserve the right to close Index Options to new Purchase Payments and transfers, and to substitute Indexes either on a Term Start Date or during a Term. • We may terminate your ability to make additional Purchase Payments during the Accumulation Phase because we reserve the right to decline any or all Purchase Payments at any time on a nondiscriminatory basis. • Caps, Trigger Rates, and Participation Rates will change from one Term to the next subject to their contractual minimum guarantees. • The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers, and -10% Floors for the currently available Index Options do not change. However, if we add a new Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we establish the Buffer or Floor for it on the date we add the Index Option to your Contract. For a new Index Option, the minimum Buffer is 5% and the minimum Floor is -25%. | Overview of the Contract Principal Risks of Investing In the Contract 3.

Income Benefits Appendix A – Investment Options Available Under the Contract Appendix H – Financial Intermediary Variations | ||
| | RESTRICTIONS | Prospectus Location | ||
| Are There Any Restrictions on Contract Benefits? | Yes, there are restrictions on Contract benefits. • The availability of Contract benefits may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold (see Appendix H) • We do not allow Performance Locks to occur on Term End Dates. We will not execute your request for a Performance Lock on Index Protection Strategy with Trigger or Index Protection Strategy with Cap Index Options if the Daily Adjustment is zero. This may limit your ability to take advantage of the benefits of the Early Reallocation feature. We do not accept Early Reallocation requests within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary. On October 13, 2026, the limit for Early Reallocations increases from 12 each Index Year to 24. • We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the Minimum Distribution Program and Investment Advisory Fees program. • Deductions we make for investment advisory fees reduce your Contract Value (and therefore Cash Value) by the amount withdrawn on a dollar for dollar basis. This Contract Value reduction also decreases your initial annual maximum Income Payment which is based on Contract Value. As Contract Value is one of the components we use to calculate RMD payments, these deductions may also reduce your RMD payments. These deductions also reduce the following proportionately by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn: Charge Base, Index Option Base, Index Option Value, and Variable Account Value. • The death benefits and your selected income benefit are only available during the Accumulation Phase. Upon annuitization, these benefits will end. • The Income Benefit and Legacy+TM Income Benefit terms stated in the Income Benefit Supplement may be modified before issue. A minimum waiting period applies before Income Payments may be taken under either income benefit. In addition, even if the waiting period has expired, Income Payments cannot begin before age 50. During the Income Period, only the Index Options with the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection Strategy with Cap are available to you. Withdrawals will reduce the initial annual maximum Income Payment. Withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms of your selected income benefit (including Excess Withdrawals and Legacy Withdrawals, if applicable) will reduce your future annual maximum Income Payment. These reductions may be greater than the value withdrawn and could end the benefit. After the Issue Date, your selected income benefit may terminate under certain circumstances as stated in section 11, Income Benefits. • The Traditional Death Benefit may not be modified, but it will terminate if you take withdrawals (including Income Payments) that reduce both the Contract Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to zero. Withdrawals may reduce the Traditional Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by more than the value withdrawn and could end the Traditional Death Benefit. • The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is not available if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. The optional Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit may not be modified. Withdrawals (including Income Payments) may reduce the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit’s Guaranteed Death Benefit Value by more than the value withdrawn and will end the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit if the withdrawals reduce both the Contract Value and Guaranteed Death Benefit Value to zero. | 6.

| | CONFLICTS OF INTEREST | Prospectus Location | ||
| How are Investment Professionals Compensated? | We do not pay sales commissions in connection with sales of the Contracts. Rather, you pay an investment advisory fee to your Financial Professional. We do not set your investment advisory fee or receive any part of it. However, Financial Professionals and their managers may be eligible for benefits from us or our wholly-owned subsidiary distributor, such as production incentive bonuses, insurance benefits, and non-cash compensation items. We and/or our wholly owned subsidiary distributor may also make marketing support payments to certain selling firms for marketing services and costs associated with Contract sales. This conflict of interest may influence your Financial Professional to recommend this Contract over another investment. | 1. The Contract – Investment Advisory Fees | ||
| Should I Exchange my Contract? | Whether to exchange your existing Contract for a new contract is a decision that each investor should make based on their personal circumstances and financial objectives. However, in making this decision you should be aware that some Financial Professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of one you already own. You should only exchange your Contract if you determine, after comparing the features, risks, and fees of both contracts, including any fees or penalties to terminate your existing Contract, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing Contract. | 14.

UPON THE DEATH OF A SOLE OWNER
|
|
|
Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase
|
Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
|
|
• We pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary unless the
Beneficiary is the surviving spouse and continues the Contract.
Your selected income benefit and any Income Payments will
also end unless the Beneficiary is both a surviving spouse and
either an Eligible Person (if Income Payments have not begun)
or a Covered Person (if Income Payments have begun).
• If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life and the
surviving spouse Beneficiary continues the Contract:
– we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the
death benefit ends,
– the surviving spouse becomes the new Owner,
– if Income Payments have not begun the Accumulation
Phase continues,
– if Income Payments have begun they can only continue if
the surviving spouse is a Covered Person; otherwise your
selected income benefit ends, and
– upon the surviving spouse’s death, his or her
Beneficiary(ies) receives the greater of Contract Value or
Cash Value if you selected the Income Benefit, or the
greatest of Contract Value, Cash Value, or Legacy Value
if you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit.
• If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life, the sole
Covered Person, and you selected the Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) receives the greatest of Contract Value, Cash
Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. However, if you
selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, the Beneficiary(ies)
instead receives the greatest of Contract Value, Cash Value,
Legacy Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, if
greater and available.
• If the deceased Owner was not a Determining Life, the
Traditional Death Benefit or Maximum Anniversary Value Death
Benefit are not available and the Beneficiary(ies) receives the
greater of Contract Value or Cash Value. However, if you
selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit and the deceased
Owner was the last surviving Covered Person, the
Beneficiary(ies) receives the greatest of Contract Value, Cash
Value, or Legacy Value.
|
• The Beneficiary becomes the Payee. If we are still required to
make Annuity Payments under the selected Annuity Option, the
Beneficiary also becomes the new Owner.
• If the deceased was not an Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the
Payee continue. No death benefit is payable.
• If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity
Payments end or continue as follows.
– Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the
guaranteed period ends.
– Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. If Income
Payments were converted to Annuity Payments under
Annuity Option B or F, we will also pay any remaining
value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
– For more information on the Annuity Options, please see
section 9.
• If the deceased was an Annuitant and there is a surviving joint
Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue during the
lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. No death benefit is
payable.
• For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments generally must
end no later than the end of the year containing the 10th
anniversary of the Owner's death. However, in certain
situations, payments may need to end earlier.
|
|
● FOR JOINTLY OWNED CONTRACTS: The sole primary Beneficiary is the surviving Joint Owner regardless of
any other named primary Beneficiaries. If both Joint Owners die within 120 hours of
each other, we pay the death
benefit to the named surviving primary Beneficiaries. If there are no named surviving
primary Beneficiaries, we pay
the death benefit to the named surviving contingent Beneficiaries, or equally to the
estate of the Joint Owners if there
are no named surviving contingent Beneficiaries.
|
|
● NAMING AN ESTATE AS A BENEFICIARY: If an estate is the Beneficiary, the estate must be the sole primary
Beneficiary, unless the Spouse is the sole primary Beneficiary. If the Spouse is the
sole primary Beneficiary, then an
estate can be a contingent Beneficiary.
|
|
● An assignment may be a taxable event. In addition, there are other restrictions on changing the ownership of a
Qualified Contract and Qualified Contracts generally cannot be assigned absolutely
or on a limited basis. You should
consult with your tax adviser before assigning this Contract.
|
|
● An assignment will only change the Determining Life (Lives) if it involves removing
a Joint Owner due to
divorce, replacing Joint Owners with a Trust, or adding a Joint Owner if that person
is a spouse within the
meaning of federal tax law of the existing Owner.
|
|
On your application if you select…
|
Your Index Effective Date will be either…
|
|
the earliest Index Effective Date
|
• your Issue Date, or
• the first Business Day of the next month if the Issue Date is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a
month
|
|
the deferred Index Effective Date
|
• your first Quarterly Contract Anniversary, or
• the next Business Day if the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary occurs on a non-Business
Day, or the first Business Day of the next month if the first Quarterly Contract Anniversary
is the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month
|
|
● In order to apply Purchase Payments we receive after the Index Effective Date to your selected Index Option(s) on
the next Index Anniversary, we must receive them before the end of the Business Day on the Index Anniversary (or
before the end of the prior Business Day if the anniversary is a non-Business Day).
|
|
● Purchase Payments we hold in the Variable Option before transferring them to your
selected Index Options are
subject to Contract fees and expenses (e.g. product fee, contract maintenance charge),
and market risk and may
lose value.
|





| ● Strategy allow negative Performance Credits. As a result, you could lose a significant amount of money in the form of negative Performance Credits if an Index declines in value. The maximum potential negative Performance Credit is: -90% with a 10% Buffer; -80% with a 20% Buffer; -70% with a 30% Buffer; and -10% with the Floor. |
| ● 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 experienced gains through some, or most, of the Term. |
| ● If an Index Performance Strategy Index Option is “uncapped” for one Term (i.e., we do not declare a Cap for that Term) it does not mean that we will not declare a Cap for it on future Term Start Dates. On the next Term Start Date we can declare a Cap for the next Term, or declare it to be uncapped. |
|
What is the asset protection?
|
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger
|
• Most protection.
• If the Index loses value, the Performance Credit is zero. You do not receive a negative
Performance
Credit.
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Cap
|
• Most protection.
• If the Index loses value, the Performance Credit is zero. You do not receive a negative
Performance
Credit.
|
|
Index Dual Precision
Strategy
|
• Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection
Strategy with Cap,
and Index Guard Strategy. Protection on the Index Dual Precision Strategy 1-year Term
is equal to or
greater than what is available with the Index Precision Strategy depending on the
Index Option. Offers
the same protection levels as the Index Performance Strategy.
• Buffer absorbs 10%, 20%, or 30% of loss, but you receive a negative Performance Credit
for losses
greater than the Buffer.
• Potential for large losses in any Term.
• More sensitive to large negative market movements because small or moderate negative
market
movements within the applicable 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer result in a positive Performance
Credit. In
a period of extreme negative market performance, the risk of loss is greater with
the Index Dual
Precision Strategy than with the Index Guard Strategy.
• In extended periods of moderate to large negative market performance, 3-year and 6-year
Terms may
provide less protection than the 1-year Terms because, in part, the Buffer is applied
over a longer
period of time.
|
|
Index Precision Strategy
|
• Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection
Strategy with Cap,
and Index Guard Strategy. Protection may be equal to or less than what is available
with the Index
Dual Precision Strategy and Index Performance Strategy depending on the Index Option.
• Buffer absorbs 10% of loss, but you receive a negative Performance Credit for losses
greater than
10%.
• Potential for large losses in any Term.
• More sensitive to large negative market movements because small negative market movements
are
absorbed by the 10% Buffer. In a period of extreme negative market performance, the
risk of loss is
greater with the Index Precision Strategy than with the Index Guard Strategy.
|
|
What is the asset protection?
|
|
|
Index Guard Strategy
|
• Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and Index Protection
Strategy with
Cap, but more than Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, and Index
Performance
Strategy.
• Permits a negative Performance Credit down to the -10% Floor.
• Protection from significant losses.
• More sensitive to smaller negative market movements that persist over time because
the -10% Floor
reduces the impact of large negative market movements.
• In an extended period of smaller negative market returns, the risk of loss is greater
with the Index
Guard Strategy than with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy,
and Index
Performance Strategy.
• Provides certainty regarding the maximum loss in any Term.
|
|
Index Performance
Strategy
|
• Less protection than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger, Index Protection
Strategy with Cap,
and Index Guard Strategy. 1-year Term Index Options with a 10% Buffer provide the
same protection
as the Index Precision Strategy. The 20% and 30% Buffers provide more protection than
what is
available with the Index Precision Strategy. Offers the same protection levels as
the Index Dual
Precision Strategy.
• Buffer absorbs 10%, 20%, or 30% of loss depending on the Index Option you select,
but you receive
a negative Performance Credit for losses greater than the Buffer.
• Potential for large losses in any Term.
• More sensitive to large negative market movements because small or moderate negative
market
movements are absorbed by the Buffer. In a period of extreme negative market performance,
the risk
of loss is greater with the Index Performance Strategy than with the Index Guard Strategy.
• In extended periods of moderate to large negative market performance, 3-year and 6-year
Terms may
provide less protection than the 1-year Terms because, in part, the Buffer is applied
over a longer
period of time.
|
|
What is the growth opportunity?
|
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Trigger Rates.
• May perform best in periods of small positive market movements relative to the other
Crediting
Methods, because such small positive market movements may result in positive Performance
Credits
that are greater than the Index Return while also providing complete protection from
any Index losses.
May have lower return potential compared to other Crediting Methods.
• These Trigger Rates will generally be less than Caps, and Index Precision Strategy's
Trigger Rates.
Growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index Dual Precision Strategy depending
on Trigger
Rates.
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Cap
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Caps.
• May perform best in periods of small positive market movements relative to the other
Crediting
Methods, because such small positive market movements would result in positive Performance
Credits while also providing complete protection from any Index losses.
• Generally more growth opportunity than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger,
but less than the
Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, and Index Performance Strategy. Growth
opportunity
may be more or less than the Index Dual Precision Strategy depending on Caps and Trigger
Rates.
• Caps will generally be greater than the Trigger Rates for Index Protection Strategy
with Trigger, but
less than Index Precision Strategy's Trigger Rates, and less than the Caps for the
Index Guard
Strategy and Index Performance Strategy. These Caps may be greater or less than Index
Dual
Precision Strategy's Trigger Rates.
|
|
What is the growth opportunity?
|
|
|
Index Dual Precision
Strategy
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Trigger Rates. We do not apply the Trigger Rate annually on 3-year
and 6-year Term Index Options.
• May perform best in periods of small or moderate negative market movements as it provides
a
positive Performance Credit in these environments while other Crediting Methods do
not.
• Generally, 1-year Term Index Options have less growth opportunity than the Index Precision
Strategy
and the 1-year Term Index Options on the Index Performance Strategy.
• Generally, 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options have less growth opportunity than
the 3-year and
6-year Term Index Options on the Index Performance Strategy.
• Growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger,
Index
Protection Strategy with Cap, and Index Guard Strategy depending on Trigger Rates
and Caps.
|
|
Index Precision Strategy
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Trigger Rates.
• May perform best in periods of small positive market movements.
• Generally more growth opportunity than the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger,
Index Protection
Strategy with Cap, and Index Dual Precision Strategy. However, less growth opportunity
than the
Index Dual Precision Strategy during periods of small or moderate negative market
movements.
• Growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index Guard Strategy or Index Performance
Strategy depending on Trigger Rates and Caps.
|
|
Index Guard Strategy
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Caps.
• May perform best in a strong market.
• Growth opportunity that generally may be matched or exceeded only by the Index Performance
Strategy. However, growth opportunity may be more or less than the Index Dual Precision
Strategy,
Index Precision Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy depending on Trigger Rates
and Caps.
|
|
Index Performance
Strategy
|
• Growth opportunity limited by the Caps and/or Participation Rates. We do not apply the Cap annually
on 3-year and 6-year Term Index Options. If we do not declare a Cap for an Index Option, there is
no maximum limit on the positive Index Return for that Index Option. In addition,
you can
receive more than the positive Index Return if the Participation Rate applies and
is greater
than its 100% minimum. However, the Participation Rate cannot boost Index Returns
beyond a
declared Cap.
• May perform best in a strong market.
• Generally, 1-year Term with 10% Buffer Index Options, 3-year Term with 10%, 20%, or
30% Buffer
Index Options, and 6-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer Index Options have the
most growth
opportunity.
• Growth opportunity for the 1-year Term with 20% or 30% Buffer may be less than the
Index Dual
Precision Strategy 1-year Term, Index Precision Strategy, and Index Guard Strategy
depending on
Trigger Rates and Caps.

|
What can change within a Crediting Method?
|
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Trigger
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates for existing Contracts can change on
each Term Start
Date.
– 1-year Term has a 0.50% minimum Trigger Rate.
|
|
Index Protection
Strategy with Cap
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Caps for existing Contracts can change on each Term
Start Date.
– 1-year Term has a 0.50% minimum Cap.
|
|
Index Dual Precision
Strategy
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates for existing Contracts can change on
each Term Start
Date.
– 1-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 3% minimum Trigger Rate.
– 3-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 4% minimum Trigger Rate.
– 6-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has an 8% minimum Trigger Rate.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers for the currently available Index Options cannot change.
However, if
we add a new Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we establish the
Buffer for it on the
date we add the Index Option to your Contract. The minimum Buffer is 5% for a new
Index Option.
|
|
What can change within a Crediting Method?
|
|
|
Index Precision Strategy
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Trigger Rates for existing Contracts can change on
each Term Start
Date.
– 1-year Term has a 3% minimum Trigger Rate.
• The 10% Buffers for the currently available Index Options cannot change. However,
if we add a new
Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we establish the Buffer for it
on the date we add
the Index Option to your Contract. The minimum Buffer is 5% for a new Index Option.
|
|
Index Guard Strategy
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Caps for existing Contracts can change on each Term
Start Date.
– 1-year Term has a 3% minimum Cap.
• The -10% Floors for the currently available Index Options cannot change. However,
if we add a new
Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we establish the Floor for it
on the date we add the
Index Option to your Contract. The minimum Floor is -25% for a new Index Option.
|
|
Index Performance
Strategy
|
• Renewal and Early Reallocation Caps and/or Participation Rates for existing Contracts
can change on
each Term Start Date.
– 1-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 3% minimum Cap.
– 3-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 5% minimum Cap, and 100% minimum
Participation Rate.
– 6-year Term with 10%, 20%, or 30% Buffer has a 10% minimum Cap, and 100% minimum
Participation Rate.
• The 10%, 20%, and 30% Buffers for the currently available Index Options cannot change.
However, if
we add a new Index Option to your Contract after the Issue Date, we establish the
Buffer for it on the
date we add the Index Option to your Contract. The minimum Buffer is 5% for a new
Index Option.
|
|
• For any Index Option with the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, or Index Performance
Strategy, you participate in any negative Index Return in excess of the Buffer, which reduces your Contract Value.
For example, for a 10% Buffer we absorb the first -10% of Index Return and you could
lose up to 90% of the Index
Option Value. However, for any Index Option with the Index Guard Strategy, we absorb any negative Index Return
in excess of the -10% Floor, so your maximum loss is limited to -10% of the Index
Option Value due to negative
Index Returns.
|
|
• Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates as set by us from time-to-time may vary
substantially based on market
conditions. However, in extreme market environments, it is possible that all Trigger Rates, Caps,
and Participation
Rates will be reduced to their respective minimums of 0.50%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 8%, 10%,
or 100% as stated in the
table above.
|
|
• If your Contract is within its free look period you may be able to take advantage
of any increase in initial Trigger
Rates, Caps, and/or Participation Rates by cancelling your Contract and purchasing
a new Contract.
|
|
• If the initial Trigger Rates, Caps, and/or Participation Rates available on the Index
Effective Date are not acceptable
you have the following options:
|
|
– Cancel your Contract if you are still within the free look period.
|
|
– Request to extend your Index Effective Date if you have not reached your first Quarterly
Contract Anniversary.
|
|
– If the free look period has expired, request a full withdrawal and receive the Cash Value. This withdrawal is subject
to income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts
withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. If
this occurs on or before the Index Effective Date, the Daily Adjustment and MVA do not apply. If this occurs after
the Index Effective Date, you are subject to the Daily Adjustment and MVA.
|
|
• Trigger Rates, Caps, and Participation Rates can be different from Index Option to
Index Option. For example,
Caps for the Index Performance Strategy 1-year Terms can be different between the S&P 500® Index and the
Nasdaq-100® Index; and Caps for the S&P 500® Index can be different between 1-year, 3-year, and 6-year Terms on
the Index Performance Strategy, and between the 1-year Terms for the Index Guard Strategy
and Index Performance
Strategy. Initial, renewal, and Early Reallocation rates may also be different from Contract-to-Contract. For
example, assume that on August 3, 2023 we set Caps for the Index Performance Strategy
1-year Term with 10% Buffer
using the S&P 500® Index as follows:
|
|
– 13% initial rate and 12% Early Reallocation rate for new Contracts issued in 2023,
|
|
– 14% renewal rate and 14% Early Reallocation rate for existing Contracts issued in
2022, and
|
|
– 12% renewal rate and 13% Early Reallocation rate for existing Contracts issued in
2021.
|
|
Currently, the Contract does not offer any variable investment options to which you
can allocate money. As such, and
given the design of the Contract, we do not believe there to be a risk of excessive
trading and market timing. However, if
we were to offer multiple variable investment options in the future, they would be
subject to the following provisions.
|
|
This Contract is not designed for professional market timing organizations, or other
persons using programmed, large, or
frequent transfers, and we may restrict excessive or inappropriate transfer activity.

• The Charge Base is
equal to your initial
Purchase Payment.
• We begin calculating
and accruing the
daily product and
rider fees, on the
day after the Issue
Date.
|
• First we calculate and accrue the daily product
and rider fees, using the Charge Base. If this is a
non-Business Day we use the Charge Base from
the end of the prior Business Day.
• Then if this is a Business Day we
increase/decrease the Charge Base as follows.
– If we receive an additional Purchase
Payment, we increase the Charge Base by
the dollar amount we receive.
– If you take a partial withdrawal, or we deduct
Contract fees, expenses, and investment
advisory fees that you authorize your
Financial Professional’s firm to receive from
the Contract, we decrease the Charge Base
by the percentage of Contract Value
withdrawn (including any MVA). All
withdrawals you take reduce the Charge
Base, even MVA-Free Withdrawals.
|
• First we process all daily transactions and
determine your Contract Value. Daily
transactions include any gains/losses due to AZL
Government Money Market Fund performance or
application of any Daily Adjustment (or
Performance Credit if this is also the Term End
Date), any additional Purchase Payment, any
partial withdrawals you take (including any MVA),
and deductions we make for Contract fees and
expenses (including deduction of the accrued
daily product and rider fees for the prior
quarter) and any investment advisory fees that
you authorize your Financial Professional’s firm
to receive from the Contract. All partial
withdrawals you take reduce the Charge Base,
even MVA-Free Withdrawals.
– We deduct the accrued product and rider fees
for the prior quarter on a dollar for dollar basis
from the Contract Value, and proportionately
from each Investment Option.
• Then we set the Charge Base equal to this
Contract Value and we calculate and accrue the
next quarter’s daily product and rider fees using
the newly set Charge Base on the next day.
* Or the next Business Day if the Quarterly Contract
Anniversary is a non-Business Day.
|
|
Example: Contract Value is $125,000; Charge
Base is $127,000; a $10,000 partial
withdrawal (including any MVA) would
decrease the Charge Base by $10,160.
[($10,000 ÷ $125,000) x $127,000]
Any increase/decrease to the Charge Base
will increase/decrease the daily product and
rider fees we calculate and accrue on the
next day.
|
||
|
Examples of how we calculate the product and rider fees are included in Appendix D.
|
||
|
We do not treat the deduction of the accrued product and rider fees as a withdrawal
when computing your Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value (see section 12).
|
|
If on a Quarterly Contract Anniversary (or the next Business Day if the Quarterly
Contract Anniversary is a
non-Business Day) the Contract Value is less than the accrued product and rider fees,
we deduct your total remaining
Contract Value to cover the accrued product and rider fees and reduce your Contract
Value to zero. If the deduction of
the accrued product and rider fees reduces your Contract Value to zero, and your selected
income benefit and death
benefit have ended, we treat this as a full withdrawal and your Contract ends.
|
|
When calculating the Maximum Anniversary Value, we deduct all Contract fees and expenses
on the Index Anniversary
(including the accrued product and rider fees if this is also a Quarterly Contract
Anniversary) before we capture any
annual investment gains. However, we do not treat the deduction of the accrued rider
fee as a withdrawal when
calculating the Maximum Anniversary Value (see section 12).

Calculating an MVA on a partial withdrawal
|
Example
|
|
|
For purposes of calculating an MVA on a partial withdrawal, we
withdraw Purchase Payments on a “first-in-first-out” (FIFO) basis
as follows.
|
You make an initial Purchase Payment on a Non-Qualified
Contract of $55,000 on the Index Effective Date (your 1st
Annual Contribution Amount), and make another Purchase
Payment on the first Index Anniversary of $45,000 (your 2nd
Annual Contribution Amount), for a total Annual Contribution
Amount of $100,000. The yield on the Bloomberg US Long
Corporate Bond Index on the Index Effective Date is 2.00%,
and is 3.00% on the first Index Anniversary (these are “A” in
the MVA factor formula).
On the third Index Anniversary, your Contract Value is
$110,000, the yield on the Bloomberg US Long Corporate
Bond Index is 2.50% (this is “B” in the MVA factor formula),
Income Payment have not yet begun, and you request a
$70,000 withdrawal. The time remaining in each Annual
Contribution Amount is 4 years for the 1st amount, and 5 years
for the 2nd amount (“t” in our MVA factor formula). We withdraw
money and compute the MVA as follows.
|
|
|
1. First, we withdraw from any Variable Account Value in the AZL
Government Money Market Fund. This withdrawal is not subject
to an MVA, but it does reduce the Purchase Payments we apply
to the next Annual Contribution Amount dollar for dollar.
|
1. Variable Account Value in the AZL Government Money
Market Fund. You made no Purchase Payments during the
third Index Year, so there is no Variable Account Value in the
fund and this does not apply.
|
|
|
2. Next, we withdraw from any Annual Contribution Amounts that
are beyond the seven Index Year MVA period. This withdrawal
is not subject to an MVA and it reduces your Annual
Contribution Amounts dollar for dollar.
|
2. Annual Contribution Amounts beyond the MVA period.
Both Annual Contribution Amounts are still within the MVA
period, so this does not apply.
|
|
|
Calculating an MVA on a partial withdrawal
|
Example
|
|
|
3. Amounts available as an MVA-Free Withdrawal. This includes
partial withdrawals you take during the Accumulation Phase
and before the Income Period under the free withdrawal
privilege, Income Payments, and RMD payments under our
minimum distribution program. MVA-Free Withdrawals are not
subject to an MVA and do not reduce your Annual Contribution
Amounts.
|
3. Amounts available as an MVA-Free Withdrawal. You did
not take any other withdrawals this Index Year, so the entire
free withdrawal privilege (10% of your total Annual
Contribution Amounts, or $10,000) is available to you
without incurring an MVA. This withdrawal will not reduce
your Annual Contribution Amounts.
|
|
|
4. Next, on a FIFO basis, we withdraw from any Annual
Contribution Amounts within your Contract’s seven Index Year
MVA period and assess an MVA. The MVA for an Annual
Contribution Amount is equal to the amount of Purchase
Payment withdrawn from that Annual Contribution Amount
multiplied by the MVA factor. We determine your total MVA by
multiplying each Annual Contribution Amount by its applicable
MVA and then totaling the MVAs. These withdrawals reduce
your Annual Contribution Amounts.
|
4. Annual Contribution Amounts within the MVA period on
a FIFO basis. The total amount we withdraw from the 1st
Annual Contribution Amount is $55,000, which is subject to
a -$1,065.34 MVA, and you receive $53,934.66. We
determine this amount as follows:
The MVA factor is [(A ÷ B)t – 1] =
[(1 + 2%) ÷ (1 + 2.50%)]4 – 1] = -1.94%.
(amount withdrawn) x (1 + MVA factor) = the amount
you receive, or: $55,000 x (1 + -1.94%) = $53,934.66
Because the MVA is positive the total amount we withdraw
from the 2nd Annual Contribution Amount is $5,919.55, and
you receive $6,065.34. We determine this amount as
follows:
The MVA factor is [(A ÷ B)t – 1] =
[(1 + 3%) ÷ (1 + 2.50%)]5 – 1] = 2.46%.
(amount withdrawn) x (1 + MVA factor) = the amount
you receive, or: $5,919.55 x (1 + 2.46%) = $6,065.34
|
|
|
5. Finally, we withdraw from any Contract earnings. This
withdrawal is not subject to an MVA and does not reduce your
Annual Contribution Amounts.
|
5. Contract earnings. We already withdrew your requested
amount, so this does not apply.
In total we withdrew $70,919.55 from your Contract, of
which you received $70,000 due to the partial MVA of
-$919.55 (which is less than the 10% limit on the amount
withdrawn). We also reduced the 1st Annual
Contribution Amount from $55,000 to $0, and your 2nd
Annual Contribution Amount from $45,000 to $39,080.45
($45,000 - $5,919.55).
Please note that this example may differ from your
actual results due to rounding and does not include the
impact of income tax withholding which can reduce the
amount you receive.
|
|
|
● Upon a full withdrawal (not including a full withdrawal of the Legacy Value), the
free withdrawal privilege is not
available to you, and we apply an MVA against Annual Contribution Amounts that are
still within their MVA period.
On a full withdrawal, your total Annual Contribution Amounts may be greater than your
Contract Value
because the following reduce your Contract Value, but do not reduce your Annual Contribution
Amounts:
|
|
– prior MVA-Free Withdrawals,
|
|
– deductions we make for Contract fees, expenses, or investment advisory fees you authorize
your Financial
Professional’s firm to receive from the Contract, and/or
|
|
– poor performance.
|
|
● Withdrawals are subject to ordinary income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10%
additional federal tax for
amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2.The amount of Contract Value available for withdrawal is also affected
by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative) unless taken on a Term End Date. If you have Index Options
with different Term End Dates, there may be no time you can take a withdrawal without
application of at least one
Daily Adjustment.
|
|
● For tax purposes, and in most instances, withdrawals from Non-Qualified Contracts
are considered to come from
earnings first, not Purchase Payments.
|
|
● Withdrawals are subject to an MVA (which can be negative), income taxes, and may also
be subject to a 10%
additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. The amount of Contract Value available for
withdrawal may also be affected by the Daily Adjustment (which can be negative).
|
|
● Joint Owners: We send each Joint Owner a check for half of the withdrawal amount, and we tax report
to each Joint
Owner individually. Tax reporting to each Joint Owner individually can create a discrepancy in taxation
if only
one Joint Owner is under age 59 1∕2 because that Joint Owner may be subject to the 10% additional federal tax.
|
|
● We may be required to provide information about you or your Contract to government
regulators. We may also be
required to stop Contract disbursements and thereby refuse any transfer requests and
refuse to pay any withdrawals
(including a full withdrawal), or death benefits until we receive instructions from
the appropriate regulator. If,
pursuant to SEC rules, the AZL Government Money Market Fund suspends payment of redemption
proceeds in
connection with a fund liquidation, we will delay payment of any transfer, full or
partial withdrawal, or death benefit
from the Variable Option until the Fund is liquidated.
|
|
The free withdrawal privilege is not available upon a full withdrawal or during the
Income Period.
|
|
● You should consult a tax adviser before purchasing a Qualified Contract that is subject
to RMD payments.
|
|
● The minimum distribution program is not available if you have a Qualified Contract
purchased through a
qualified plan.
|
|
● If you do not choose an Annuity Option before the Annuity Date, we make Annuity Payments
to the Payee
under Annuity Option C with ten years of guaranteed monthly payments.
|
|
● For Owners younger than age 59 1∕2, Annuity Payments may be subject to a 10% additional federal tax.
|
|
● For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments generally must end no later than the
end of the year
containing the 10th anniversary of the Owner's death. However, in certain situations, payments may need
to
end earlier.
|
|
● If your selected payment frequency results in Annuity Payments that are less than
$100, we will update your
payment frequency to either meet or exceed this amount.
|
|
● If Annuity Payments under all available frequencies would be less than $100, we reserve
the right to require
you to take a full withdrawal and your Contract will then terminate. We do not apply
the MVA on this full
withdrawal.
|
|
● If on the maximum Annuity Date either your Contract Value or Legacy Value is positive, you must annuitize the
Contract. We notify you of your available options in writing 60 days in advance. If on your maximum Annuity Date
you have not selected an Annuity Option and Income Payments have not begun, we make
payments under Annuity
Option C with ten years of guaranteed monthly payments. However, if Income Payments
have begun on the
maximum Annuity Date and you have not selected an Annuity Option, we will convert your Income Payments to
Annuity Payments as described in the next bullet. Upon annuitization you no longer have Contract Value or a death
benefit, and you cannot receive any other periodic withdrawals or payments other than
Annuity Payments.
|
|
– For Contracts in the Income Period: We will convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments on the
maximum Annuity Date if Income Payments have begun and you have not selected an Annuity
Option, or if
either your Contract Value or Legacy Value is positive and you take Annuity Payments
under Annuity Option B
or F as follows.
|
|
For single Income Payments, if you choose Annuity Option B (Life), the sole Covered
Person becomes the sole
Annuitant and your Annuity Payments are equal to the greater of:
|
|
○ annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option B based on the greater of Contract Value
or Cash Value if
you select the Income Benefit;
|
|
○ annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option B based on the greatest of Contract Value,
Cash Value, or
Legacy Value if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit; or
|
|
○ the current annual maximum Income Payment available to you.
|
|
For joint Income Payments, if you choose Annuity Option F (Joint and Survivor), the
joint Covered Persons
become the joint Annuitants and your Annuity Payments are equal to the greater of:
|
|
○ annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option F based on the greater of Contract Value
or Cash Value if
you select the Income Benefit;
|
|
○ annual Annuity Payments under Annuity Option F based on the greatest of Contract Value,
Cash Value, or
Legacy Value if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit; or
|
|
○ the current annual maximum Income Payment available to you.
|
|
If you select Annuity Option A, C, or G, we do not convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments on the
maximum Annuity Date. This means you may receive less as Annuity Payments than you would have
received as Income Payments. You should consult with your Financial Professional before
requesting
Annuity Payments. On request we provide illustrations showing you the amount of Annuity
Payments you
could receive.
|
|
– If we convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments on the maximum Annuity Date:
|
|
○ On the Annuity Date we establish a “remaining value” equal to your Contract Value. Each Annuity Payment
reduces the remaining value by the dollar amount paid. Upon the death of the last
surviving Annuitant, we will
pay any remaining value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
|
|
○ If you selected the Increasing Income payment option, your Annuity Payments will increase
on each Index
Anniversary if your selected Index Options receive a Performance Credit, or by the
Daily Adjustment if you
execute a Performance Lock, as described in section 11.
|
|
○ If you have a Non-Qualified Contract, these Annuity Payments will receive the benefit
of the exclusion ratio,
which causes a portion of each Annuity Payment to be non-taxable as described in section 13, Taxes –
Taxation of Annuity Contracts.

| Free Withdrawal Privilege | Allows you to withdraw up to 10% of your total Annual Contribution Amounts each Index Year without incurring an MVA. | | • Only available during the Accumulation Phase. • Not available during the Income Period. • Not available upon a full withdrawal. • Upon a full withdrawal, an MVA may apply against amounts previously withdrawn under the free withdrawal privilege. • Unused free withdrawal amounts not available in future years. • Program withdrawals may be subject to negative Daily Adjustments. • Program withdrawals are subject to income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. |
| Minimum Distribution Program | Allows you to automatically take withdrawals to satisfy the required minimum distribution requirements (RMD) imposed by the Internal Revenue Code. | | • Only available during the Accumulation Phase. • Only available to IRA or SEP IRA Contracts. • Program withdrawals count against the free withdrawal privilege. • Program withdrawals may be subject to negative Daily Adjustments. • Program withdrawals are subject to income taxes. • Program withdrawals may be monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual, unless you have less than $25,000 in Contract Value, in which case only annual payments are available. • We reserve the right to discontinue or modify the program subject to the requirements of law. |

| Investment Advisory Fees | We designed the Contract for persons who are receiving ongoing investment advice from a Financial Professional. You can instruct us to automatically withdraw investment advisory fees from your Contract to pay your Financial Professional’s firm. | | • Only available during the Accumulation Phase. • Investment advisory fees are in addition to the Contract’s fees and expenses. • Program withdrawals may be subject to negative Daily Adjustments. • If you and your Financial Professional do not agree to our requirements we will not pay investment advisory fees from this Contract to your Financial Professional’s firm. • Our requirements limit investment advisory fee withdrawals to 1.5% of Contract Value each Contract Year, require the fees to be solely for advisory services provided with respect to the Contract, and require the Contract to be the sole source of payment. • Deductions we make for investment advisory fees reduce your Contract Value (and therefore Cash Value) dollar for dollar by the amount withdrawn. This Contract Value reduction also decreases your initial annual maximum Income Payment which is based on Contract Value. As Contract Value is one of the components we use to calculate RMD payments, these deductions may also reduce your RMD payments. These deductions also reduce the following proportionately by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn: Charge Base, Index Option Base, Index Option Value, and Variable Account Value. For more information regarding the impact of paying advisory fees with money in the Contract, including an example of how deduction of investment advisory fees impacts the Contract, see section 1, The Contract – Investment Advisory Fees. |

| Income Benefit | Guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit providing for yearly Income Payments until the death of the Covered Person(s) if conditions are satisfied. We base the initial Income Payment on the Lifetime Income Percentage and Contract Value. If you choose the Level Income payment option and meet the age requirements stated in section 11, we guarantee your initial annual maximum Income Payment will be at least the Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage multiplied by your total Purchase Payments adjusted for withdrawals. The automatic annual payment increase feature may increase payments after the Income Benefit Date. If you elect Level Income, payments increase if Contract Value increases from one Income Benefit Anniversary to the next and you took the maximum permitted payment during the prior Income Benefit Year. Includes the Income Multiplier Benefit for no additional charge that can increase income to help pay for needed care. Section 11 includes examples of the Lifetime Income Percentage Calculation, Excess Withdrawals, Income Payment increases, and the Income Multiplier Benefit. | (as a percentage of the Charge Base) This rider fee is part of the Base Contract Expenses in the Fee Tables. | • Until October 12, 2026, this is the only available income benefit rider. However, after this date, at issue you may select either this benefit, or the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. • Benefit cannot be removed from the Contract. • See the Income Benefit Supplement for current terms. Please see Appendix F for historical information on the terms for previous versions of the Income Benefit. • Benefit only available during the Accumulation Phase. • Investment restrictions limit available Index Options during Income Period. • Income Period cannot begin until after the waiting period and reaching age 50. Income Period must begin no later than age 100. • Early and Excess Withdrawals may significantly reduce or end the benefit as indicated in section 11. • A full Excess Withdrawal and certain partial Excess Withdrawals will cause Income Payments to stop and the Contract and all of its benefits to end. • On the Income Benefit Date, we execute Performance Locks on Index Options for which this day is not a Term End Date, and in such case the Index Option Value will be subject to the Daily Adjustment. We then reallocate the total Contract Value, including amounts in the Variable Option, into the Index Protection Strategy with Trigger and/or Index Protection Strategy with Cap Index Options according to allocation instructions you provide, and begin your Income Payments. • Income Payments are subject to income taxes, and may also be subject to a 10% additional federal tax for amounts withdrawn before age 59 1∕2. • No additional Purchase Payments during the Income Period. • No Income Percentage Increase before age 45. • Availability of joint Income Payments is subject to age restrictions. • The Income Multiplier Benefit is not available in all states as indicated in Appendix G. • Must establish eligibility to exercise the Income Multiplier Benefit (e.g., that you are confined for care or unable to perform two activities for daily living) and must re-establish eligibility each year thereafter. • Annuitizing the Contract will end the benefit, but we may convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments on the maximum Annuity Date. • State variations may apply. |

| Legacy+TM Income Benefit | Lifetime withdrawal benefit providing for yearly Income Payments until the death of the Covered Person(s) if conditions are satisfied. We base the initial Income Payment on the Lifetime Income Percentage and Contract Value. If you choose the Level Income payment option and meet the age requirements stated in section 11, we guarantee your initial annual maximum Income Payment will be at least the Level Income Guarantee Payment Percentage multiplied by your total Purchase Payments adjusted for withdrawals. The automatic annual payment change feature may increase or decrease payments after the Income Benefit Date. If you elect Level Income, payments increase if your Contract Value multiplied by the Lifetime Income Percentage as of the Income Benefit Date results in a higher annual maximum Income Payment and you took the maximum permitted payment during the prior Income Benefit Year. If you elect Dynamic Income, the annual maximum Income Payment will change based on Index Option performance. Negative Index Option performance may significantly reduce the annual maximum Income Payment if you allocate to the Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Guard Strategy, or Index Performance Strategy Index Options. Includes the Income Multiplier Benefit for no additional charge that can increase income to help pay for needed care. Includes the Legacy+TM Benefit that during the Income Period provides a guaranteed Legacy Value that is accessible through Legacy Withdrawals, or as a death benefit upon the death of the last surviving Covered Person. Unlike the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value, which decreases with each Income Payment, the Legacy Value will never decrease unless you take an Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal. Once your Contract Value is reduced to zero, the Legacy Value will increase on an Income Benefit Anniversary by the amount of any remaining unpaid annual maximum Income Payment from the previous Income Benefit Year. Section 11 includes examples of the Lifetime Income Percentage Calculation, Excess Withdrawals, Legacy Withdrawals, automatic annual Income Payment changes, and the Income Multiplier Benefit. | (as a percentage of the Charge Base) These rider fees are part of the Base Contract Expenses in the Fee Tables. | • Until October 12, 2026, this benefit is not available. However, after this date, at issue you may select either this benefit, or the Income Benefit. • Benefit cannot be removed from the Contract. • See the Income Benefit Supplement for current terms. Please note that the terms can differ between the Income Benefit and the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. • Legacy+TM Income Benefit has all the same restrictions/limitations as the Income Benefit with the following exceptions: – Legacy Withdrawals may significantly reduce or end the benefit as indicated in section 11. – A full Legacy Withdrawal and certain partial Legacy Withdrawals will cause Income Payments to stop and the Contract and all of its benefits to end. – If you die before taking Income Payments, or before the Contract Value is less than the Legacy Value, you will have paid additional rider fees without receiving the advantages of the Legacy+TM Benefit. |

| Traditional Death Benefit | Provides a death benefit equal to the greatest of the Contract Value, Cash Value, or Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. The Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is total Purchase Payments adjusted for withdrawals. An example of the death benefit provided by the Traditional Death Benefit is included in section 12, Death Benefit. An example of how deduction of investment advisory fees impact the death benefit is included in section 1. The impact of an Excess Withdrawal on the death benefit is included in section 11. | | • Benefit only available during the Accumulation Phase. • Withdrawals, including any negative Daily Adjustments and negative MVAs, may significantly reduce the benefit as indicated in the Investment Advisory Fee Deduction Example in section 1, The Contract, and in the Excess Withdrawal example in section 11, Income Benefits. • Restrictions on Purchase Payments may limit the benefit. • Annuitizing the Contract will end the benefit. |

| Performance Lock and Early Reallocations | Performance Lock allows you to capture the current Index Option Value during the Term for an Index Option. Performance Lock can help eliminate doubt about future Index performance and possibly limit the impact of negative performance. Early Reallocation allows you to transfer all assets out of a locked Index Option on days other than an Index Anniversary, or a Term End Date. A Performance Lock example is included in section 6, Valuing Your Contract — Performance Locks and Early Reallocations. | | • Available during the Accumulation Phase. Only available during the Annuity Phase if you select Increasing Income and we convert your Income Payments to Annuity Payments on the maximum Annuity Date. • Performance Locks must be executed before the Term End Date. • If a Performance Lock is executed, the locked Index Option will no longer participate in Index performance (positive or negative) for the remainder of the Term, and will not receive a Performance Credit on the Term End Date. • You will not know your locked Index Option Value in advance. • The locked Index Option Value will reflect a Daily Adjustment. • If a Performance Lock is executed when the Daily Adjustment has declined, it will lock in any loss. • A Performance Lock can be executed only once each Term for each Index Option. • Cannot execute a Performance Lock for only a portion of the Index Option Value. • Early Reallocation requests are not accepted within 14 calendar days before an Index Anniversary. • On October 13, 2026, the limit for Early Reallocations increases from 12 each Index Year to 24. • Deductions (e.g. withdrawals, fees) decrease the locked Index Option Value. • Cannot transfer locked Index Option Value until the next Index Anniversary that occurs on or immediately after the Lock Date unless you execute an Early Reallocation. • We will not provide advice or notify you regarding whether you should execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation or the optimal time for doing so, if any. • We will not warn you if you execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation at a sub-optimal time. • We are not responsible for any losses related to your decision whether or not to execute a Performance Lock or Early Reallocation. • Early Reallocations are not available to Contracts issued before May 1, 2023, as detailed in Appendix G. |

| Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit | Provides a death benefit equal to the greatest of the Contract Value, Cash Value, or Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. The Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is the Maximum Anniversary Value. An example of the death benefit provided by the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, and calculation of the Maximum Anniversary Value is included in section 12, Death Benefit. An example of how deduction of investment advisory fees impact the death benefit is included in section 1. The impact of an Excess Withdrawal on the death benefit is included in section 11. | (as a percentage of the Charge Base) | • Must be age 75 or younger to elect. • Can only be added to a Contract at issue. • The Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit is not available if you select the Legacy+TM Income Benefit. • Replaces the Traditional Death Benefit if elected. • Benefit cannot be removed from the Contract. • Only available during the Accumulation Phase. • Withdrawals, including any negative Daily Adjustment and negative MVA, may significantly reduce the benefit as indicated in the Investment Advisory Fee Deduction Example in section 1, The Contract, and in the Excess Withdrawal example in section 11, Income Benefits. • Withdrawals reduce the likelihood of receiving increases to the Maximum Anniversary Value. • Investment restrictions during the Income Period may limit the benefit. • Restrictions on Purchase Payments may limit the benefit. • Annuitizing the Contract will end the benefit. |
|
Unless otherwise stated, the following description of the income benefits apply to
both the Level Income and Increasing
Income payment options.
|
|
● YOU SHOULD NOT PURCHASE THIS CONTRACT WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING THE CURRENT
INCOME BENEFIT SUPPLEMENT. We publish any changes to the Income Benefit Supplement at least seven
calendar days before they take effect on our website at https://www.allianzlife.com/RILAincomeadvrates.
|
|
● Please discuss the appropriateness of the Income Benefit or Legacy+TM Income Benefit with your Financial
Professional and tax adviser.
|
|
● If Income Payments do not begin by the Index Anniversary upon which the younger Eligible
Person reaches
age 100, your selected income benefit ends.
|
|
● If your selected income benefit ends before Income Payments begin, you will have paid the benefit’s rider fee
(and the additional rider fee for the Legacy+TM Benefit, if applicable) without receiving any of its advantages.
|
|
● 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 and then
immediately calculate and
begin your Income Payments, and in such case the Index Option Value will be subject
to the Daily Adjustment.
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. This means you may not receive the full benefit of the
Performance Credit that you would have received if you had waited until the Term End
Date to begin Income
Payments.
|
|
● We use Contract Value to calculate your initial annual maximum Income Payment, and
Income Payment increases
under the Level Income payment option. Negative Index Option performance, withdrawals
you take, and deductions
we make for Contract fees, expenses, and investment advisory fees that you authorize your Financial Professional’s
firm to receive from the Contract decrease the Contract Value, which reduces the initial
annual maximum Income
Payment available to you. Negative Index Returns and Performance Credits of zero also
reduce the likelihood you
will receive Income Payment increases.

● For Qualified Contracts: If we calculate a required minimum distribution (RMD) based on this Contract, after
making all Income Payments for the calendar year we determine whether this calendar year’s total RMD has been
satisfied by these payments and any Excess Withdrawals or Legacy Withdrawals. If the
RMD amount for this
Contract has not been satisfied, we send you this remaining amount as one RMD payment
by the end of the calendar
year. We consider this payment to be a withdrawal, but it is not an Excess Withdrawal
or Legacy Withdrawal, and it
is not subject to an MVA.
|
|
● For annuitization: If on the maximum Annuity Date you are receiving Income Payments and either your
Contract
Value or Legacy Value is positive, we will convert your Income Payments to Annuity
Payments if you take Annuity
Payments under Annuity Option B or F. If you select any other Annuity Option, we will
not convert your Income
Payments to Annuity Payments on the maximum Annuity Date. This means that if you annuitize your Contract
you may receive less as Annuity Payments than you would have received as Income Payments. For more
information, see section 9, The Annuity Phase – When Annuity Payments Begin.

If we increase the Contract Value to equal the death benefit due to a spousal continuation
of the Contract during the last
Income Benefit Year, we also subtract the amount of this increase from the Contract
Value on the next Income Benefit
Anniversary when determining annual payment increases under the Level Income payment
option.
|
|
If we receive notice of death of a Covered Person during the Income Period, we will
suspend Income Payments and your
selected income benefit will end as described above. However, if a federally recognized
spouse who is also a joint
Covered Person continues this Contract, we will resume Income Payments and add any
Income Payments that we would
have paid between the time we suspended Income Payments and when they resume future
Income Payments.
|
|
If you have the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, and there are joint Covered Persons, the Legacy Value is not available
as a
death benefit upon the first Covered Person's death. In order for the Legacy Value
to continue to be available after the
first Covered Person's death, the surviving Covered Person must continue the Contract.

During the Income Period:
|
|
● You cannot make additional Purchase Payments. If your Contract includes the Traditional
Death Benefit this means
the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value no longer increases.
|
|
● Index Dual Precision Strategy, Index Precision Strategy, Index Performance Strategy,
and Index Guard Strategy are
no longer available. This may limit your Contract’s performance potential and the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if
your Contract includes the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit. Income Payments
and Excess Withdrawals
also decrease your Contract Value, which also reduces the likelihood of locking in
investment gains to the
Guaranteed Death Benefit Value if your Contract includes the Maximum Anniversary Value
Death Benefit.
|
|
● Each Income Payment and any Excess Withdrawal or Legacy Withdrawal (if applicable)
reduces the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value by the percentage of Contract Value withdrawn (including any MVA), which means this value
may be reduced by more than the amount withdrawn. Taking Excess Withdrawals or Legacy Withdrawals (if
applicable) may also cause your selected death benefit to end prematurely.
|
|
We base the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value on the first death of a Determining Life
(or Lives). This means that upon
the death of an Owner (or Annuitant if the Owner is a non-individual), if a surviving spouse continues the Contract:
|
|
● the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value is no longer available, and
|
|
● if you selected the Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit, we no longer assess its
0.20% rider fee.
|
|
Also, if you and the Determining Life (Lives) are different individuals and you die
first, the Guaranteed Death Benefit
Value is not available to your Beneficiary(ies).

• elects to receive payment of the death benefit, your selected income
benefit ends on the Business Day we receive his or her Valid Claim.

|
Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase
|
Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
|
|
● We pay a death benefit to the Beneficiary unless the
Beneficiary is the surviving spouse and continues the
Contract. Your selected income benefit and any Income
Payments will also end unless the Beneficiary is both a
surviving spouse and either an Eligible Person (if Income
Payments have not begun) or a Covered Person (if Income
Payments have begun). For a description of the death benefit
and payout options, see prospectus section 12, Death Benefit
- Death Benefit Payment Options During the Accumulation
Phase.
● If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life and the
surviving spouse Beneficiary continues the Contract:
– we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the
death benefit ends,
– the surviving spouse becomes the new Owner,
– if Income Payments have not begun the Accumulation
Phase continues,
– if Income Payments have begun, they can only continue if
the surviving spouse is a Covered Person; otherwise your
selected income benefit ends, and
– upon the surviving spouse’s death, his or her
Beneficiary(ies) receives the greater of Contract Value or
Cash Value if you selected the Income Benefit, or the
greatest of Contract Value, Cash Value, or Legacy Value
if you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit.
● If the deceased Owner was a Determining Life, the sole
Covered Person, and you selected the Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) receives the greatest of Contract Value, Cash
Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. However, if
you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) instead receives the greatest of Contract
Value, Cash Value, Legacy Value, or the Guaranteed Death
Benefit Value, if greater and available.
● If the deceased Owner was not the Determining Life, the
Traditional Death Benefit or Maximum Anniversary Value
Death Benefit are not available and the Beneficiary(ies)
receive the greater of Contract Value or Cash Value.
However, if you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit and
the deceased Owner was the last surviving Covered Person,
the Beneficiary(ies) receives the greatest of Contract Value,
Cash Value, or Legacy Value.

● The Beneficiary becomes the Payee. If we are still required to
make Annuity Payments under the selected Annuity Option,
the Beneficiary also becomes the new Owner.
● If the deceased was not an Annuitant, Annuity Payments to
the Payee continue. No death benefit is payable.
● If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity
Payments end or continue as follows.
– Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the
guaranteed period ends.
– Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. If Income
Payments were converted to Annuity Payments under
Annuity Option B or F, we will also pay any remaining
value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
● If the deceased was an Annuitant and there is a surviving
joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue
during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. No death
benefit is payable.
● For a Qualified Contract, the Annuity Payments generally
must end no later than the end of the year containing the 10th
anniversary of the Owner's death. However, in certain
situations, payments may need to end earlier.

|
UPON THE DEATH OF A JOINT OWNER
|
|
|
Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase
|
Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
|
|
● The surviving Joint Owner is the sole primary Beneficiary. If
the Joint Owners were spouses there may also be contingent
Beneficiaries.
● We pay a death benefit to the surviving Joint Owner unless
he or she is the surviving spouse and continues the Contract.
Your selected income benefit and any Income Payments will
also end unless the surviving Joint Owner is both a surviving
spouse and either an Eligible Person (if Income Payments
have not begun) or a Covered Person (if Income Payments
have begun). For a description of the death benefit and
payout options, see prospectus section 12, Death Benefit -
Death Benefit Payment Options During the Accumulation
Phase.
● If the deceased Joint Owner was a Determining Life and the
surviving spouse/Joint Owner continues the Contract:
– we increase the Contract Value to equal the Guaranteed
Death Benefit Value if greater and available, and the
death benefit ends,
– the surviving spouse/Joint Owner becomes the new sole
Owner,
– if Income Payments have not begun the Accumulation
Phase continues,
– if Income Payments have begun, they can only continue if
the surviving spouse/Joint Owner is also a Covered
Person; otherwise your selected income benefit ends,
and
– upon the surviving spouse/Joint Owner’s death, his or her
Beneficiary(ies) receives the greater of Contract Value or
Cash Value if you selected the Income Benefit, or the
greatest of Contract Value, Cash Value, or Legacy Value
if you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit.
● If the deceased Joint Owner was a Determining Life, the sole
Covered Person, and you selected the Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) receives the greatest of Contract Value, Cash
Value, or the Guaranteed Death Benefit Value. However, if
you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit, the
Beneficiary(ies) instead receives the greatest of Contract
Value, Cash Value, Legacy Value, or the Guaranteed Death
Benefit Value, if greater and available.
● If the deceased Joint Owner was not a Determining Life, the
Traditional Death Benefit or Maximum Anniversary Value
Death Benefit are not available and the Beneficiary(ies)
receive the greater of Contract Value or Cash Value.
However, if you selected the Legacy+TM Income Benefit and
the deceased Joint Owner was the last surviving Covered
Person, the Beneficiary(ies) receives the greatest of Contract
Value, Cash Value, or Legacy Value.
|
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option, the surviving Joint Owner becomes
the sole Owner.
● If the deceased was not an Annuitant, Annuity Payments to
the Payee continue. No death benefit is payable.
● If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity
Payments end or continue as follows.
– Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the
guaranteed period ends.
– Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. If Income
Payments were converted to Annuity Payments under
Annuity Option B or F, we will also pay any remaining
value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
● If the deceased was an Annuitant and there is a surviving
joint Annuitant, Annuity Payments to the Payee continue
during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. No death
benefit is payable.
|
|
UPON THE DEATH OF AN ANNUITANT AND THERE IS NO SURVIVING JOINT ANNUITANT
|
|
|
Action if the Contract is in the Accumulation Phase
|
Action if the Contract is in the Annuity Phase
|
|
● If the deceased Annuitant was not an Owner, and the
Contract is owned only by an individual(s), we do not pay a
death benefit. The Owner can name a new Annuitant subject
to our approval.
● If the deceased Annuitant was a sole Owner, we pay a death
benefit as discussed in the “Upon the Death of a Sole Owner”
table. If the Contract is continued by a surviving spouse, the
new surviving spouse Owner can name a new Annuitant
subject to our approval.
● If the deceased Annuitant was a Joint Owner, we pay a death
benefit as discussed in the “Upon the Death of a Joint Owner”
table. If the Contract is continued by a surviving Joint Owner
who is also a surviving spouse, the surviving spouse Joint
Owner can name a new Annuitant subject to our approval.
● If the Contract is owned by a non-individual, we treat the
death of the Annuitant as the death of a sole Owner, and we
pay a death benefit as discussed in the “Upon the Death of a
Sole Owner” table. NOTE: For non-individually owned
Contracts, spousal continuation is only available if the
Contract is Qualified, owned by a qualified plan or a
custodian, and the surviving spouse is named as the
sole primary beneficiary under the qualified plan or
custodial account.
|
● No death benefit is payable.
● If the deceased was the only surviving Annuitant, Annuity
Payments end or continue as follows.
– Annuity Option A or C, payments end when the
guaranteed period ends.
– Annuity Option B, F, or G, payments end. If Income
Payments were converted to Annuity Payments under
Annuity Option B or F, we will also pay any remaining
value to the named Beneficiary(ies).
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option and the deceased was a sole Owner,
the Beneficiary becomes the new sole Owner.
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option and the deceased was a Joint
Owner, the surviving Joint Owner becomes the sole Owner.
|
|
UPON THE DEATH OF THE ANNUITANT DURING THE ANNUITY PHASE AND THERE IS A SURVIVING
JOINT ANNUITANT
|
|
|
● Only Annuity Options F and G allow joint Annuitants. Under
Annuity Options F and G, Annuity Payments to the Payee
continue during the lifetime of the surviving joint Annuitant. If
Income Payments were converted to Annuity Payments
under Annuity Option F, we will also pay any remaining value
to the named Beneficiary(ies).
|
● No death benefit is payable.
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option and the deceased was a sole Owner,
the Beneficiary becomes the new Owner.
● If we are still required to make Annuity Payments under the
selected Annuity Option and the deceased was a Joint
Owner, the surviving Joint Owner becomes the sole Owner.

Indemnification provision, as required by the ’33 Act, Rule 484
The Bylaws of the Insurance Company provide:
ARTICLE XI. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES
SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION:
| (a) | Subject to the conditions of this Article and any conditions or limitations imposed by applicable law, the Corporation shall indemnify any employee, director or officer of the Corporation (an “Indemnified Person”) who was, is, or in the sole opinion of the Corporation, may reasonably become a party to or otherwise involved in any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Person is or was: | |
| (i) | a director of the Corporation; or | |
| (ii) | acting in the course and scope of his or her duties as an officer or employee of the Corporation; or | |
| (iii) | rendering Professional Services at the request of and for the benefit of the Corporation; or | |
| (iv) | serving at the request of the Corporation as an officer, director, fiduciary or member of another corporation, association, committee, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (an “Outside Organization”). | |
| (b) | Notwithstanding the foregoing, no officer, director or employee shall be indemnified pursuant to these bylaws under the following circumstances: | |
| (i) | in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such person, in his or her own personal capacity, unless such initiation was authorized by the Board of Directors; | |
| (ii) | if a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines that any indemnification hereunder is unlawful; | |
| (iii) | for acts or omissions involving intentional misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law; | |
| (iv) | for acts or omissions that the Indemnified Person believes to be contrary to the best interests of the Corporation or its shareholders or that involve the absence of good faith on the part of the Indemnified Person; | |
| (v) | for any transaction for which the Indemnified Person derived an improper personal benefit; | |
| (vi) | for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the Indemnified Person’s duty to the Corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the Indemnified Person was aware or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing the Indemnified Person’s duties, of the risk of serious injury to the Corporation or its shareholders; | |
| (vii) | for acts or omissions that constitute an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the Indemnified Person’s duties to the Corporation or its shareholders; | |
| (viii) | in circumstances where indemnification is prohibited by applicable law; | |
| (ix) | in the case of service as an officer, director, fiduciary or member of an Outside Organization, where the Indemnified Person was aware or should have been aware that the conduct in question was outside the scope of the assignment as contemplated by the Corporation. | |
| SECTION 2. SCOPE OF INDEMNIFICATION: | ||
| (a) | Indemnification provided pursuant to Section 1(a)(iv) shall be secondary and subordinate to indemnification or insurance provided to an Indemnified Person by an Outside Organization or other source, if any. | |
| (b) | Indemnification shall apply to all reasonable expenses, liability and losses, actually incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Person in connection with a Proceeding, including without limitation, attorneys’ fees and any expenses of establishing a right to indemnification or advancement under this article, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement and all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such expense, liability and loss. | |
| (c) | Such indemnification shall continue as to any Indemnified Person who has ceased to be an employee, director or officer of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, estate, executors and administrators. | |
| SECTION 3. DEFINITIONS: | ||
| (a) | “Corporation” for the purpose of Article XI shall mean Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America and all of its subsidiaries. | |
| (b) | “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or otherwise, including actions by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor. | |
| (c) | “Professional Services” shall mean services rendered pursuant to (i) a professional actuarial designation, (ii) a license to engage in the practice of law issued by a State Bar Institution or (iii) a Certified Public Accountant designation issued by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. |
| Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted for directors and officers or controlling persons of the Insurance Company pursuant to the foregoing, or otherwise, the Insurance Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Insurance Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Insurance Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Insurance Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. | |
