NOTICE OF LIQUIDATION

The Company has been informed that the Franklin Multi-Asset Dynamic Multi-Strategy VIT (the "Portfolio") will be liquidated at the close of business on or about August 19, 2022 (the "Liquidation Date"). The Franklin Multi-Asset Dynamic Multi-Strategy VIT variable investment option (the "Investment Option"), currently available in your contract, invests in the Portfolio. Consequently, we will close the Investment Option as of the Liquidation Date.

Prior to the Liquidation Date, you may transfer any account value allocated to the Investment Option to another investment option. This transfer will not count against the number of free transfers permitted annually. If you still have account value allocated to the Investment Option on the Liquidation Date, shares of the Portfolio held for you in the Investment Option will be exchanged for shares of the EQ/Money Market Portfolio (the "Money Market Portfolio"), of equal value on the Liquidation Date, and held in the EQ/Money Market variable investment option (the "Money Market Investment Option") and any current allocation instructions for the Investment Option will be replaced with the Money Market Investment Option.

The Money Market Portfolio prospectus contains information about its objectives, investment strategies, risks, fees, and expenses. Please read it carefully before investing. You may contact us to obtain another copy of the Money Market Portfolio prospectuses.

As mentioned above, if you would like to make a transfer directly from the Investment Option into one or more of the other investment options, we must receive instructions from you prior to the Liquidation Date. We have enclosed a One-Time Transfer and Investment Option Selection form in case you prefer to transfer your account value in this investment option or provide us with new allocation instructions prior to the Liquidation Date. You can also make transfers and/or amend allocation instructions via your Equitable Client portal account by visiting our website at: www.equitable.com.
