UPDATED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY
The information in this Annual Notice is a summary of certain Policy features that have changed since May 1, 2023. This may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you entered into your Policy.
Asset Allocation Program. Effective April 26, 2024, the Asset Allocation Program ceased to be available under your Policy. If you were participating in the Asset Allocation Program when it was discontinued:
· | Your Accumulated Value is no longer automatically rebalanced each year to maintain the particular percentage allocations of your Accumulated Value among the Subaccounts specified under the asset allocation model portfolio you selected. However, you may elect to have your Accumulated Value rebalanced periodically under the automatic rebalancing program available under the Policy, described below. |
· | Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, your Net Premiums will continue to be allocated to the same Subaccounts that they were allocated to under the asset allocation model portfolio immediately before the Asset Allocation Program was discontinued based on the particular percentage allocations that were in effect at that time. However, FBL Wealth Management, LLC will no longer review and change those percentage allocations. |
Asset Rebalancing Program. We offer an asset rebalancing program under which we will automatically transfer amounts to maintain particular percentage allocations of your Accumulated Value among the Subaccounts and the Declared Interest Option. The asset rebalancing program automatically reallocates the Accumulated Value in the Subaccounts and the Declared Interest Option quarterly, semi-annually or annually to match your Policy's then-effective premium allocation instructions. The asset rebalancing program will transfer Accumulated Value from those Subaccounts that have increased in value to those Subaccounts that have declined in value (or not increased as much). The asset rebalancing program does not guarantee gains, nor does it assure that any Subaccount will not have losses.
· | Under the asset rebalancing program, the maximum number of Investment Options which you may select at any one time is twelve, including the Declared Interest Option. |
· | This feature is free and is not considered in the twelve free currently permitted transfers during a Policy Year. |
· | This feature cannot be utilized in combination with the dollar cost averaging program. |
If you would like to provide new allocation instructions or elect to participate in the asset rebalancing program, you may contact your financial representative, call us at 1-800-247-4170, or write to us at 5400 University Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50266.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE POLICY
FEES AND EXPENSES |
LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS |
|
Charge for Early Withdrawal |
If you make a partial withdrawal from your Policy in any Policy Year, we assess a Partial Withdrawal Fee equal to the lesser of $25 or 2% of the amount withdrawn to compensate us for costs incurred in accomplishing the withdrawal. We deduct this fee from the Accumulated Value. For example, if you were to make a partial withdrawal (of more than $1,250) when your Accumulated Value is $100,000, you would be assessed a Partial Withdrawal Fee of $25. If you make a full surrender of your Policy during the first 10 Policy Years, or during the first 10 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount (to the extent of the increase), we assess a Surrender Charge that varies based on the Policy Year and the individual characteristics of the Insured (e.g., age, sex, and underwriting class). You should view the specifications page of your Policy for rates applicable to your Policy. The maximum Surrender Charge for any Policy is $51.10 per $1,000 of Specified Amount. We deduct this charge from the amount surrendered. For example, if you were to make a full surrender during the first Policy Year after your Policy purchase (and your Specified Amount is $100,000), then you could be assessed a charge of up to $5,110. |
Charges and Deductions |
Transaction Charges |
In addition to Surrender Charges, you may also be charged for other transactions. These charges include transfer charges. |
Charges and Deductions |
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) |
In addition to Surrender Charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Policy, administration, mortality and expense risks, loan charges, and the cost of optional benefits under the Policy. |

Policy Benefits/Risk Summary - Policy Risks |
Not a Short-Term Investment |
This Policy is not a short-term investment vehicle and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. ●We apply a Partial Withdrawal Fee with respect to a partial withdrawal made during any Policy Year. ●We apply a Surrender Charge with respect to a full surrender during the first 10 Policy Years, and during the first 10 Policy Years following an increase in Specified Amount. ●The foregoing charges will reduce the value of your Policy and are minimized the longer you hold the Policy. ● Tax deferral is more beneficial to investors with a long-time horizon. |
Policy Benefits/Risk Summary - Policy Risks Charges and Deductions |
Risks Associated with Investment Options |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options. Each Investment Option (including the Declared Interest Option) has its own unique risks. You should review these Investment Options before making an investment decision. |
Policy Benefits/Risk Summary - Policy Risks Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company and the Variable Account |
Insurance Company Risks |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company, including that any obligations (including under the Declared Interest Option), guarantees, or benefits of the Policy are subject to the claims-paying ability of the Company. More information about the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available by calling toll- free at 1-800-247-4170 or writing to: Farm Bureau Life, 5400 University Avenue, West Des Moines, Iowa 50266. |

Policy Lapse |
The Policy may lapse if the Net Surrender Value is insufficient on a Monthly Deduction Day to cover the monthly deduction and a Grace Period expires without a sufficient payment. The Policy will not lapse during the first 10 Policy Years if you have paid sufficient premiums to meet the cumulative no lapse guarantee monthly premium requirement on each Monthly Deduction Day. We will notify you that the Policy will lapse at the |
The Policy - Policy Lapse and Reinstatement |
6
end of the Grace Period unless you make a sufficient payment. If your Policy lapses, no death benefit will be payable under the Policy. Whether a Policy lapses depends on the level of Net Surrender Value, which is affected by the amount of premiums you paid, the amount of withdrawals you took, the amount of Policy Debt, and the investment performance of the Investment Options and the Declared Interest Option. Poor investment performance, high amounts of Policy Debt or withdrawals, and payment of insufficient premiums increases the risk of Policy lapse. Prior to the Maturity Date, you may apply to reinstate a lapsed Policy at any time within 5 years of the Monthly Deduction Day immediately preceding the Grace Period which expired without payment of the required premium. Among the items you must submit in your reinstatement application is a premium that is at least sufficient to keep the Policy in force for three months. |

|
Investments |
Currently, the first twelve transfers in a Policy Year may be effected without a transfer charge. But we impose a transfer charge of $10 for the thirteenth and each subsequent transfer in a Policy Year. You can no longer allocate premiums or transfer Accumulated Value to the Columbia Small Company Growth Subaccount. Only one transfer per Policy Year is permitted between the Declared Interest Option and the Variable Account. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to make additions to, deletions from or substitutions for the shares of the Investment Options that the Variable Account holds or that the Variable Account may purchase. |
Charges and Deductions The Declared Interest Option - Transfers, Partial Withdrawals, Surrenders and Policy Loans Farm Bureau Life Insurance Company and the Variable Account - Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investments |
Optional Benefits | We offer several optional riders under the Policy. The insurance features added through these riders include, among other things, accelerated payment of the death benefit and child term life insurance. The optional riders may be terminated in certain circumstances, such as in the case of Policy lapse. We do not have the right to terminate an optional benefit in our sole discretion. We also offer the ability to take Policy Loans. The maximum loan amount that we allow at any time may not exceed 90% of the Net Surrender Value of the Policy (100% in some states). We charge interest on Policy Loans | Additional Insurance Benefits |

Tax Implications |

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST |
LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS |
|
Investment Professional Compensation | We have discontinued new sales of the Policies to the public. We summarize below the kinds of compensation paid in connection with past sales of the Policy and on an ongoing basis. | Distribution of the Policies |
Investment professionals receive compensation for selling the Policy to investors (e.g., in the form of cash commission payments). In addition to commissions and other forms of cash compensation, certain investment professionals also may receive non-cash compensation. Non-cash compensation can entail payment for conferences, seminars, meals, sporting events, theater performances, travel, lodging and/or entertainment as well as prizes and awards. Finally, investment professionals may receive other payments from the Company for services that do not directly involve the sale of the Policies, including payments made for the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature and similar services. | ||
These investment professionals have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Policy over another investment. | ||
Exchanges |
Because the Policy is no longer sold, you would not be affected by a scenario in which you are asked to replace an existing life insurance policy you own with a new purchase of this Policy. In general, you should be aware that some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the Policy you already own. Thus, in general, you should only exchange your life insurance Policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own the existing Policy. |
