Important Information You Should Consider About the Contract
FEES AND EXPENSES Location in Prospectus
Charges for Early Withdrawals
Your Contract may be subject to surrender charges. Surrender charges may apply to both partial and full Surrenders.
If you withdraw money from your contract within 8 years following your last premium payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge of up to 7% (as a percentage if premium payments withdrawn), declining to 0% over that time period.
For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 during a surrender charge period, you could be assessed a charge of up to $7,000.
If you receive services for your Contract from a third-party financial intermediary who charges an advisory fee for their services, withdrawals to pay advisory fees will also reduce death benefits and other guaranteed benefits under the Contract and may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax.
