IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE UPCOMING LIQUIDATION OF THE LIQUIDATING PORTFOLIOS
On February 22-23, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Liquidating Portfolios voted to liquidate and terminate each of the Liquidating Portfolios. The liquidation is expected to take place on or about June 17, 2024 (the "Liquidation Date").
Voluntary Transfers Before the Liquidation Date. Any time prior to the Liquidation Date you may transfer amounts allocated to a Subaccount that invests in the Liquidating Portfolios to any other available Subaccount. There will be no charge for any such transfer, and any such transfer will not count as a transfer when imposing any applicable restriction or limit on transfers. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by writing to Customer Service at P.O. Box 9271, Des Moines, IA 50306-9271 or calling (800) 366-0066. See the "Investment Options" section of your most recent Notice document and the section in the Contract prospectus that deals with transfers among investment options for information about making Subaccount transfers, including applicable restrictions and limits on transfers.
Automatic Reallocation Upon Liquidation. On the Liquidation Date and after our receipt of the proceeds from the liquidation of the Liquidating Portfolios, amounts allocated to a Subaccount that invested in the Liquidating Portfolios will be automatically reallocated to the Subaccount that invests in Class S2 shares of the Voya Government Liquid Assets Portfolio. There will be no charge for this automatic reallocation, and this automatic reallocation will not count as a transfer when imposing any applicable restriction or limit on transfers. Furthermore, you will not incur any tax liability because of this automatic reallocation, and your Contract value immediately before the reallocation will equal your Contract value immediately after the reallocation.
