Updating Summary Prospectus

Contract Value - Contract Value is determined by multiplying the total number of units (for each subaccount) credited to the contract by the unit value (for such subaccount) for the current valuation period and adding to that any amount in the Fixed Accumulation Account or a DCA account.

DCA - Dollar cost averaging.

Enhanced DCA Account - An account available for purchase payments, subject to certain limitations, that provides a fixed interest rate that is higher than the rate being credited to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market Portfolio.

Fixed Accumulation Account -A subset of our general account that guarantees a fixed return for a specified period of time and guarantees the principal against loss.

Fund - A mutual fund in which subaccount assets may be invested. See Appendix A.

AuguStar Life - AuguStar Life Insurance Company, the depositor of the contract.

Subaccount - A subdivision of VAA. The assets of each subaccount are invested in a corresponding available Fund.

Surrender - To redeem the contract before annuity payments begin and receive its value minus any applicable surrender charge or other charges.

Valuation Period - The period of time from one determination of variable subaccount unit and annuity unit values to their next determination. A valuation period usually ends at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for unrestricted trading. The valuation period may end sooner to correspond to earlier closing of the New York Stock Exchange. Accumulation unit and annuity unit values for each annuity period are determined at the end of that valuation period.

VAA - AuguStar Variable Account A, a separate account of AuguStar Life consisting of assets segregated from AuguStar Life 's general assets for the purpose of funding annuity contracts whose values vary with the investment results of the separate account's underlying Funds.

We, Us, Our - We, us and our refer to AuguStar Life.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE CONTRACT

FEES AND EXPENSES

LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS

Charges for Early Withdrawal

If you withdraw money from your contract within 4 years following your last purchase payment, you will be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge is 7% of total purchase payment, minus all previous withdrawals, during the first three years, declining down to 0% over the 4 years. For example, if you make an early withdrawal within the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment. During each contract year, you may withdraw not more than 10% of the Contract Value (as of the day of the first withdrawal made during that contract year) without a surrender charge.

Deductions and Expenses - Surrender Charge

Transaction Charges

In addition to surrender charges, you may also be charged for other transactions, such as when you transfer Contract value between investment options more than 12 times per contract year, take more than 14 withdrawals in a contract year or for special requests (such as wire transfers or overnight mail).

RISKS

Location in Prospectus

Risk of Loss


You can lose money by investing in this contract.

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 apply for 4 years following your last purchase payment. They will reduce the value of your contract if you withdraw money during that time. The benefits of tax deferral and living benefit protections also mean the contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

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 you choose.

Each investment option (including the Fixed Accumulation Account and the Enhanced DCA Account) has its own unique risks.

You should review the prospectuses for the available Funds before making an investment decision.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

Insurance Company Risks

Any obligations (including under the Fixed Accumulation Account), guarantees, and benefits of the contract are subject to the claims-paying ability of AuguStar Life.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Investment Professional Compensation

Although the contracts are no longer offered for new sales, firms and their registered representatives that sold the contracts may still be paid for those sales. Your investment professional may receive compensation for having sold this contract to you in the form of commissions, service fees, additional cash benefits (e.g. bonuses), and non-cash compensation. Accordingly, investment professionals may have had a financial incentive to offer or recommend this contract over another investment.

AuguStar Life Insurance Company

Exchanges

Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you own. You should only consider exchanging your contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is in your best interest to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.
