EQ Managed Volatility Portfolios that include the EQ volatility management strategy as part of their investment objective and/or principal investment strategy, and the EQ/affiliated Fund of Fund Portfolios that invest in Portfolios that use the EQ volatility management strategy, are identified in the chart by a "†". See "Portfolios of the Trusts" for more information regarding volatility management.

Please note that you may transfer account value out of the investment option that invests in the above class A shares of each Portfolio into any other investment option available under your contract or policy any time prior to the Effective Date. Such transfers will be free of charge and will not count as one of your annual free transfers under your contract or policy. Also, for a period of 60 days after the Effective Date, any account value that was transferred to the investment option that invests in the class B share of the Portfolio as a result of the Combination can be transferred into any other investment option available under your contract or policy free of charge and will not count as one of your annual free transfers. Please refer to your Prospectus for detailed information about investment options.

On or about the Effective Date:

-

The class A share of each Portfolio under your contract or policy will be removed as an investment option, and the corresponding class B share of the Portfolio will be added as an available investment option (subject to any applicable allocation restrictions). If you have account value allocated to the investment option that invests in the class A share of the Portfolio, your contract or policy will be automatically credited with interest in the corresponding investment option that invests in the class B share of the Portfolio. Your interest in the class B share of the Portfolio immediately after the Combination will be equal to your interest in the removed class A share of the Portfolio immediately prior to the Combination.

-

You will not bear any of the expenses related to the Combination, and the Combination will not result in any tax consequences for you.

-

All allocation elections and instructions that include the class A share of the Portfolio(s) will be automatically updated to replace the class A share of the Portfolio(s) with the corresponding class B share of the Portfolio(s) unless you instruct us otherwise.

Series B - If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from Series B of the contract within 7 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 7% of contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $7,000 on a $100,000 investment.

Series CP® - If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from Series CP® of the contract within 9 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 8% of contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $8,000 on a $100,000 investment.

Series L - If you surrender your contract, apply your cash value to a non-life contingent annuity payment option, or withdraw money from Series L of the contract within 4 years following your last contribution, you will be assessed a withdrawal charge of up to 8% of contributions withdrawn. For example, if you make a withdrawal in the first year, you could pay a withdrawal charge of up to $8,000 on a $100,000 investment.

Series C - No withdrawal charge.

Series ADV - No withdrawal charge.

For additional information about charges for surrenders and early withdrawals see "Withdrawal charge" in "Charges and expenses" in the Prospectus.

Transaction Charges

In addition to withdrawal charges, you may also be charged for other transactions (for special requests such as wire transfers, express mail, duplicate contracts, preparing checks, third-party transfers or exchanges, or when you transfer between investment options in excess a certain number).

For additional information about transaction charges see "Charges that the Company deducts" in "Charges and expenses" in the Prospectus.

Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) Each series of the contract provides for different ongoing fees and expenses. The tables below describe the fees and expenses that you may pay each year under each series of the contract, depending on the options you choose. For Series ADV contracts, the fees and expenses in the table below do not reflect any advisory fees paid to financial intermediaries from the account value or other assets of the owner; if such fees were reflected the below fees and charges would be higher. Please refer to your contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.
Annual Fee Minimum Maximum
Base Contract (varies by contract series)(1) 0.65% 1.70%
Investment options (Portfolio fees and expenses)(2) 0.57% 2.65%
Optional benefits available for an additional charge (for a single optional benefit, if elected)(3) 0.25% 1.25%

(1) Expressed as an annual percentage of daily net assets in the variable investment options.

(2) Expressed as an annual percentage of daily net assets in the Portfolio. This range is for the year ended December 31, 2023 and could change from year to year.

(3) Expressed as an annual percentage of the applicable benefit base.

Because your contract is customizable, the choices you make affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your contract, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year, based on current charges. This estimate assumes no credits and that you do not take withdrawals from the contract or make any other transactions, which could add withdrawals charges that substantially increase costs.

RISKS
Risk of Loss

The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your account value.

For additional information about the risk of loss see "Principal risks of investing in the Contract" in the Prospectus.

Not a Short-Term Investment

The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties.

For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see "Fee Table" in the Prospectus.

Risks Associated with Investment Options

An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the variable investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios). Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option, has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options available under the contract before making an investment decision.

For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see "Variable investment options", "Guaranteed interest option" and "Portfolios of the Trusts" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the Prospectus. See also Appendix "Portfolio Companies available under the contract" in the Prospectus.

Insurance Company Risks

An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract's account value and the Guaranteed benefits. The general obligations, including the guaranteed interest option, and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims-paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at https://equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.

For additional information about insurance company risks see "About the general account" in "More information" in the Prospectus.

RESTRICTIONS
Investments

We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options (including the Protection with Investment Performance account variable investment options) and to limit the number of variable investment options which you may select. Such rights include, among others, combining any two or more variable investment options and transferring account value from any variable investment option to another variable investment option.

Credits under Series CP® contracts may be recaptured upon free look, annuitization, and death.

There are restrictions regarding investment options if Guaranteed benefits are elected, limits on contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option, and restrictions or limitations with Special DCA programs. See "Allocating your contributions" in "Purchasing the Contract" and "Transferring your account value" in "Transferring your money among investment options" in the Prospectus for more information.

For more information see "About Separate Account No. 70" in "More information" in the Prospectus.

Currently, we do not charge for transfers among investment options under the contract. However, we reserve the right to charge for any transfers in excess of 12 per contract year. We will provide you with advance notice if we decide to assess the transfer charge, which will never exceed $35 per transfer.

For additional information about the investment options, including information regarding volatility management strategies and techniques, see "Transfer charge" in "Charges and expenses" and "Portfolios of the Trusts" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the Prospectus.

Optional Benefits

At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options. If you have one or more Guaranteed benefits (which are also known as optional benefits) and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional limitations on, contributions to the contract and/or contributions and/ or transfers into the Protection with Investment Performance account variable investment options, you may no longer be able to fund your Guaranteed benefit(s).

Investment options are limited if Guaranteed benefits are elected. Withdrawals, including withdrawals to pay advisory fees, that exceed limits specified by the terms of an optional benefit may affect the availability of the benefits by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit.

If you purchase a Series ADV contract and you elect to pay the advisory fee from your account value, then this deduction will be treated as a withdrawal and will reduce the standard death benefit and Guaranteed benefits, and may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal penalty tax. See "Fee based programs" in "Purchasing the contract" in the Prospectus.

For additional information about the optional benefits see "How you can purchase and contribute to your contract" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the Prospectus. See also "Death Benefits" and "Living Benefits" in "Benefits available under the contract" in the Prospectus.

TAXES
Tax Implications

You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the contract.

For additional information about tax implications see "Tax information" in the Prospectus.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Investment

Professional Compensation

Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as "marketing allowances"). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this contract over another investment.

For additional information about compensation to financial professionals see "Distribution of the contracts" in "More information" in the Prospectus.

Exchanges

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

For additional information about exchanges see "Charge for third-party transfer or exchange" in "Charges and expenses" in the Prospectus.

RISKS
Risk of Loss

The contract is subject to the risk of loss. You could lose some or all of your account value.

For additional information about the risk of loss see "Principal risks of investing in the Contract" in the Prospectus.

Not a Short-Term Investment

The contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash because the contract is designed to provide for the accumulation of retirement savings and income on a long-term basis. As such, you should not use the contract as a short-term investment or savings vehicle. A withdrawal charge may apply in certain circumstances and any withdrawals may also be subject to federal and state income taxes and tax penalties.

For additional information about the investment profile of the contract see "Fee Table" in the Prospectus.

Risks Associated with Investment Options

An investment in the contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the variable investment options available under the contract, (e.g., the Portfolios). Each investment option, including the guaranteed interest option, has its own unique risks. You should review the investment options available under the contract before making an investment decision.

For additional information about the risks associated with investment options see "Variable investment options", "Guaranteed interest option" and "Portfolios of the Trusts" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the Prospectus. See also Appendix "Portfolio Companies available under the contract" in the Prospectus.

Insurance Company Risks

An investment in the contract is subject to the risks related to the Company. The Company is solely responsible to the contract owner for the contract's account value and the Guaranteed benefits. The general obligations, including the guaranteed interest option, and any Guaranteed benefits under the contract are supported by our general account and are subject to our claims-paying ability. An owner should look solely to our financial strength for our claims-paying ability. More information about the Company, including our financial strength ratings, may be obtained at https://equitable.com/about-us/financial-strength-ratings.

For additional information about insurance company risks see "About the general account" in "More information" in the Prospectus.

RESTRICTIONS
Investments

We may, at any time, exercise our rights to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options (including the Guaranteed Benefit account variable investment options) and to limit the number of variable investment options which you may select. Such rights include, among others, combining any two or more variable investment options and transferring account value from any variable investment option to another variable investment option.

Credits under Series CP® contracts may be recaptured upon free look, annuitization, and death.

There are restrictions regarding investment options if Guaranteed benefits are elected, limits on contributions and transfers into and out of the guaranteed interest option, and restrictions or limitations with Special DCA programs. See "Allocating your contributions" in "Purchasing the Contract" and Transferring your account value" in "Transferring your money among investment options" in the Prospectus for more information.

For more information see "About Separate Account No. 70" in "More information" in the Prospectus.

4

Currently, we do not charge for transfers among investment options under the contract. However, we reserve the right to charge for any transfers in excess of 12 per contract year. We will provide you with advance notice if we decide to assess the transfer charge, which will never exceed $35 per transfer.

For additional information about the investment options, including information regarding volatility management strategies and techniques, see "Transfer charge" in "Charges and expenses" and "Portfolios of the Trusts" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the Prospectus.

Optional Benefits

At any time, we have the right to limit or terminate your contributions, allocations and transfers to any of the variable investment options. If you have one or more Guaranteed benefits (which are also known as optional benefits) and we exercise our right to discontinue the acceptance of, and/or place additional limitations on, contributions to the contract and/or contributions and/ or transfers into the Guaranteed Benefit account variable investment options, you may no longer be able to fund your Guaranteed benefit(s).

Investment options are limited if Guaranteed benefits are elected. Withdrawals that exceed limits specified by the terms of an optional benefit may affect the availability of the benefit by reducing the benefit by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and/or could terminate the benefit.

For additional information about the optional benefits see "How you can purchase and contribute to your contract" in "Purchasing the Contract" in the Prospectus. See also "Death Benefits" and "Living Benefits" in "Benefits available under the contract" in the Prospectus.

TAXES
Tax Implications

You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the contract. There is no additional tax benefit to you if the contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA). Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties. Generally, you are not taxed until you make a withdrawal from the contract.

For additional information about tax implications see "Tax information" in the Prospectus.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment Professional Compensation

Some financial professionals may receive compensation for selling the contract to you, both in the form of commissions or in the form of contribution-based compensation. Financial professionals may also receive additional compensation for enhanced marketing opportunities and other services (commonly referred to as "marketing allowances"). This conflict of interest may influence the financial professional to recommend this contract over another investment.

For additional information about compensation to financial professionals see "Distribution of the contracts" in "More information" in the Prospectus.

Exchanges

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

For additional information about exchanges see "Charge for third-party transfer or exchange" in "Charges and expenses" in the Prospectus.
