Table of Contents
Risk of Loss You can lose money by investing in this contract, including loss of principal. 5. Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract
Not a Short-Term Investment
•This contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
•Surrender charges may apply to withdrawals. If you take a withdrawal, a surrender charge may reduce the value of your contract or the amount of money that you actually receive.
•The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefit guarantees are generally more beneficial to investors with a long-time horizon.
•A 10% penalty tax may be applied to withdrawals before age 59½.
Risks Associated with Investment Options
•An investment in this contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the contract (e.g., the Funds).
•Each investment option (including the FAF, if available) has its own unique risks.
•You should review the investment options before making an investment decision.
Insurance Company Risks An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to us. Any obligations (including under the FAF), guarantees or benefits of the contract are subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you. More information about Talcott Resolution, including our financial strength ratings, is available upon request by visiting the "About Us" tab at www.talcottresolution.com or by calling 1-800-862-6668.
RESTRICTIONS Location in Prospectus
Investments
•Certain investment options may not be available under your contract.
•You are allowed to make 1 transfer between the fund options per day. You are allowed to make 20 transfers between the fund options per year before we require you to submit additional transfer requests by mail. Your transfer between the fund options are subject to policies designed to deter excessively frequent transfers and market timing. These transfer restrictions do not apply to transfers under the contract's automatic transfer programs.
•There are restrictions on the maximum amount that may be transferred annually from the FAF to the fund options. If the FAF is available for investment, you must wait 6 months after your most recent transfer from the FAF before making a subsequent transfer into the FAF. These transfer restrictions may apply to the contract's automatic income programs.
•We reserve the right to remove or substitute funds as investment options.

•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.

Investment Professional Compensation
Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling this contract to you, in the form of commissions, additional payments, and non-cash compensation.

This conflict of interest may influence your investment professional to recommend this contract over another investment for which the investment professional is not compensated or compensated less.
12. Other Information - c. More Information - How Contracts Were Sold
Exchanges Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange a contract you already own if you determine, after comparing the features, fees and risks of both contracts, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract. 7.a.
