Subject: Vote for a more manageable portfolio by Nov. 30
Dear Client name;
After reviewing the investment options available in our variable annuity contracts, Horace Mann Life Insurance Company is asking contract owners to approve changes to the underlying fund lineup. But to make this change, we need your vote!
The proposed fund lineup has quality investment options in fewer fund families. That means:
• | a more streamlined array of diverse and high-quality investment options with fewer overlapping choices; and |
• | a more manageable investment selection process for you and future educators. |
It’s important for you to know even though the new lineup would have fewer investment options, Horace Mann believes it will still have all the diversity and quality you need to fit your individual needs and risk tolerance. You can find a breakdown of the funds that would be replaced and the replacement funds, the full proxy statement and a Q&A on the proposed fund substitutions by visiting the My Account section athoracemann.com.
In order to accomplish these substitutions, Horace Mann needs the approval of contract owners holding a majority of the contract value invested in each investment option that Horace Mann wants to replace. Your vote must be receivedby Nov. 30.Please vote on all voting instruction cards you receive.If you have any questions, please call Horace Mann Life Insurance Company at855-806-7765.
Thank you for trusting us to help you plan for tomorrow!
