UPDATED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR POLICY
The following is a summary of certain Policy features that have changed since the Updating Summary Prospectus dated May 1, 2023. This does not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since You entered into Your Policy.
• |
Effective April 26, 2024, the Delaware VIP International Series (the "Target Fund") was reorganized into the Delaware Ivy VIP International Core Equity series (the "Acquiring Fund"). After the reorganization, any contract value allocated to a sub-account that invests in the Target Fund ("Target Fund Sub-Account"), was automatically transferred to the sub-account investing in the Acquiring Fund ("Acquiring Fund Sub-Account"). The Target Fund Sub-Account is no longer available for investment. The Acquiring Fund was rebranded on or about May 1, 2024, to the Macquarie VIP International Core Equity Series. |
• |
For the fund reorganization described above, any standing Policy instructions that included the Target Fund Sub-Account were automatically updated to replace the Target Fund Sub-Account with the Acquiring Fund Sub-Account. |

IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE POLICY
Fees and Expenses | Location in Prospectus | |||
Charges for Early Withdrawals |
During the first fifteen Policy Years, a surrender charge will apply if You partially or fully surrender the Policy, allow the Policy to lapse, or reduce the Policy Face Amount. The maximum surrender charge that You can pay while You own the Policy is equal to $49.62 per $1,000 of Face Amount surrendered or decreased. For example, for a Policy with a $100,000 Face Amount, the maximum full surrender charge would be $4,962.00. |
Fee Tables; Fees, Charges and Expenses |
||
Transaction Charges |
In addition to the surrender charge, You also may be charged for other transactions. Specifically: • A premium charge is deducted from each premium payment. • There is a $25 charge for each partial surrender. • A Transfer Fee of up to $10 is applied on the 5th or 6th transfer in any Policy Year. • We reserve the right to impose a charge for use of the Systematic Transfer Option or the Automated Subaccount Reallocation Option. Currently, We are not imposing a charge for those services. • If You have elected the optional accelerated death benefit rider, an administrative fee of $150 is applied upon a request for an accelerated death benefit. |
Fee Tables; Fees, Charges and Expenses |
||
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. Those ongoing fees and expenses include a cost of insurance charge, Separate Account charge, Face Amount charge, monthly Policy charge, loan interest (if You take a Policy loan) and the charge for any optional rider You have elected. Such fees and expenses may be set based on characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). You should view the Policy specifications page of Your Policy for the rates applicable to Your Policy. |

Not a Short-Term Investment |
• A Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. • We may apply a surrender charge with respect to any surrender You make from the Policy. • A surrender may also reduce Your Policy's Face Amount and Death Benefit, and may have adverse tax consequences. • You can avoid surrender charges and such possible adverse tax consequences by holding Your Policy for the long-term and minimizing surrenders. • Tax deferral is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon. |

Risks Associated with Investment Options |
• An investment in this Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of the Funds You choose, which performance can vary among the Funds. • Each Fund (as well as the Fixed Account) has its own unique risks. With the Fixed Account, for example, Your Policy value is held as part of Our general account assets, which exposes You to the risk of Our solvency. • You should review the prospectuses for the Funds before making an investment decision. |

Insurance Company Risks |
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to NNY, including that any obligations (including under the Fixed Account), guarantees, or benefits are subject to the claims-paying ability of NNY.

Contract Lapse |
Your Policy will remain in force only as long as the Net Surrender Value is enough to pay the Monthly Deduction due on the Monthly Deduction Date. If the Net Surrender Value is no longer enough to pay the Monthly Deduction, the Policy may lapse, or end. Surrenders, loans (and associated loan interest), failure to make premium payments, fees and charges, and poor investment performance can negatively affect Surrender Value, and increase the risk of Policy lapse. If the Policy lapses, the death benefit will not be paid and You may incur surrender charges. |

Conflicts of Interest | Location in Prospectus | |||
Investment Professional Compensation |
Currently, We do not make new sales of the Policy, and thus the compensation practices described here relate primarily to compensation with respect to prior sales. Your registered representative may have received compensation for selling the Policy to You. We generally pay compensation as a percentage of premium payments invested in the Policy ("commissions"). NNY may also pay for sales and distribution expenses out of any payments We or the principal underwriter of the Policies may receive from the Funds for providing administrative, marketing and other support and services to the Funds. To the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, the principal underwriter may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or other compensation. The presence of these forms of compensation can influence a registered representative to recommend the Policy over another investment. |
Distribution of the Policy |

Conflicts of Interest | Location in Prospectus | |||
Exchanges | As a general matter, some investment professionals could have a financial incentive to offer You this Policy in place of another policy You currently own. Similarly, some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer You a new policy to replace this Policy. You should only exchange a policy if You determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is better for You to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own Your existing policy. Currently, We do not offer this Policy for new sales, and thus would not offer this Policy in connection with such a replacement transaction. | Distribution of the Policy |
