UPDATED INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CONTRACT

The information in this Annual Notice is a summary of certain Contract features that have changed since May 1, 2023. This may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you entered into your Contract.

Asset Allocation Program. Effective April 26, 2024, the Asset Allocation Program ceased to be available under your Contract. 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 Contract, described below.
· Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, your 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.
· If you elected the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider ("GMIB Rider"), you are no longer required to allocate your premium payments and Accumulated Value in accordance with the asset allocation model portfolio that seeks to provide moderate growth and income while avoiding excessive risk (the "Asset Allocation Model") for the GMIB Rider to remain in effect. The GMIB Rider will not terminate if you choose to reallocate your premium payments and Accumulated Value among the Subaccounts and the Declared Interest Option in a manner that is not consistent with the Asset Allocation Model. Your GMIB Rider will remain in effect unless you take an action that would otherwise cause the termination of the GMIB Rider, such as surrendering the Contract or reducing the Income Base under the GMIB Rider to zero through partial withdrawals.

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 Contract'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 Contract 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 CONTRACT

FEES AND EXPENSES LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Charge for Early Withdrawal

If you withdraw money from your Contract during the first 8 Contract Years, you may be assessed a Surrender Charge of up to 8% of the amount withdrawn. In each Contract Year, you may withdraw a maximum of 10% of your Accumulated Value without incurring a Surrender Charge.

For example, if you were to make a withdrawal during the first Contract Year after your Contract purchase (and your Accumulated Value is $100,000), you could be assessed a charge of up to $8,000.

Not a Short-Term Investment

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS
Investment Professional Compensation

We have discontinued new sales of the Contracts to the public. We summarize below the kinds of compensation paid in connection with past sales of the Contract and on an ongoing basis.

Investment professionals receive compensation for selling the Contract 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 Contracts, 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 Contract over another investment.

Distribution of the Contracts
Exchanges Because the Contract is no longer sold, you would not be affected by a scenario in which you are asked to replace an existing contract you own with a new purchase of this Contract. In general, you should be aware that some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the Contract you already own. Thus, in general, you should only exchange your current Contract if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own the existing Contract.
