Allstate Life Insurance Company (“Allstate Life”) is offering the following individual and group flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts (each, a “Contract”):
• | Allstate Advisor |
• | Allstate Advisor Plus |
• | Allstate Advisor Preferred |
This prospectus contains information about each Contract that you should know before investing. Please keep it for future reference. Not all Contracts may be available in all states or through your sales representative. Please check with your sales representative for details.
This prospectus is being provided for informational or educational purposes only and does not take into account the investment objectives or financial situation of any client or prospective clients. The information is not intended as investment advice and is not a recommendation about managing or investing your retirement savings. Clients seeking information regarding their particular investment needs should contact a financial professional.
Each Contract currently offers several investment alternatives (“investment alternatives”). The investment alternatives include fixed account options (“Fixed Account Options”), depending on the Contract, and include various* variable sub-accounts (“Variable Sub-Accounts”) of the Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I (“Variable Account”). Each Variable Sub-Account invests exclusively in shares of the following funds (“Funds”):
AIM Variable Insurance Funds (Invesco Variable Insurance Funds Series I & II) Fidelity® Variable Insurance Products (Service Class 2) Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (Class 2) Lord Abbett Series Fund, Inc. | Morgan Stanley Variable Insurance Fund, Inc. Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds (Service Class & Class 2) Putnam Variable Trust (Class IB) |
* Certain Variable Sub-Accounts may not be available depending on the date you purchased your Contract. In addition, certain Variable Sub-Accounts are closed to Contract Owners not invested in the specified Variable Sub-Accounts by a designated date. Please see Investment Alternatives: The Variable Sub-Accounts section of this Prospectus for information about Variable Sub-Account and/or Portfolio liquidations, mergers, closures and name changes.
Each Fund has multiple investment Portfolios (“Portfolios”). Not all of the Funds and/or Portfolios, however, may be available with your Contract. You should check with your sales representative for further information on the availability of the Funds and/or Portfolios. Your annuity application will list all available Portfolios.
For Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts, each time you make a purchase payment, we will add to your Contract value (“Contract Value”) a credit enhancement (“Credit Enhancement”) of up to 5% (depending on the issue age and your total purchase payments) of such purchase payment. Expenses for this Contract may be higher than a Contract without the Credit Enhancement. Over time, the amount of the Credit Enhancement may be more than offset by the fees associated with the Credit Enhancement.
We (Allstate Life) have filed a Statement of Additional Information, dated April 29, 2019 , with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). It contains more information about each Contract and is incorporated herein by reference, which means that it is legally a part of this prospectus.

Allstate Advisor Glossary
AB Factor- An element used to calculate the Accumulation Benefit that is determined by the Rider Period and Guarantee Option you selected as of the Rider Date.
Accumulation Benefit- An amount used to determine the minimum Contract Value on the Rider Maturity Date under the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option, which is equal to the Benefit Base multiplied by the AB Factor.
Accumulation Phase- The period that begins on the date we issue your Contract (“Issue Date”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments.
Accumulation Unit- A unit of measurement used to measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase. To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-account to allocate to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment or transfer you have allocated to a Variable Sub-account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer.
Accumulation Unit Value- Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units (this is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund).
Allstate Life (“we”): The issuer of the Allstate Advisor, Allstate Advisor Plus, and Allstate Advisor Preferred Variable Annuities, each an individual and group flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract (“Contract”).
Annuitant- The individual whose age determines the latest Payout Start Date and whose life determines the amount and duration of income payments (other than under Income Plan 3). The maximum age of the Annuitant on the date we receive the completed application for each Contract is 90.
Automatic Additions Program- A programs that permits subsequent purchase payments of $50 or more per month by automatically transferring money from your bank account. The Automatic Additions Program is not available for making purchase payments into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option.
Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program- A program that provides for the automatic rebalancing of the Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations after the performance of each Sub-Account causes a shift in the percentage you allocated to each Sub-Account.
Beneficiary(ies)- The person(s) or entity(ies), who will receive the benefits that the Contract provides when the last surviving Contract Owner dies, or, if the Contract Owner is a non-living person, an Annuitant dies. You may name one or more Primary and Contingent Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract.
• | Primary Beneficiary- the person who may, in accordance with the terms of the Contract, elect to receive the death settlement (“Death Proceeds”) or become the new Contract Owner pursuant to the Contract if the sole surviving Contract Owner dies before the Payout Start Date. If the sole surviving Contract Owner dies after the Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments scheduled to continue. |
• | Contingent Beneficiary- the person selected by the Contract Owner who will exercise the rights of the Primary Beneficiary if all named Primary Beneficiaries die before the death of the sole surviving Contract Owner. |
Benefit Base- An amount used solely for the purpose of determining the accumulation or withdrawal benefit (or payments available) of an optional benefit and the Rider Fee. This amount is not available as a Contract Value, Settlement Value, or Death Proceeds. On the Rider Date, the “Benefit Base” is equal to the Contract Value and is subsequently increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and decreased by withdrawals as detailed in the sections that discuss the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit and each of the Withdrawal Benefit Options. The Benefit Base will never be less than zero.
Benefit Payment- In connection with the Withdrawal Benefit Options, the amount available at the beginning of each Benefit Year that you may withdraw during that Benefit Year. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor and the Benefit Base are used to determine your Benefit Payment.
Benefit Payment Remaining- In connection with the Withdrawal Benefit Options, the amount remaining after any previous withdrawals in a Benefit Year that you may withdraw without reducing your Benefit Base (and for the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option and the SureIncome for Life Withdrawal Benefit Option, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit) by more than the amount of the withdrawal and without reducing your Benefit Payment available in future Benefit Years.

Income Payments | You can choose fixed income payments, variable income payments, or a combination of the two. You can receive your income payments in one of the following ways (you may select more than one income plan): • life income with guaranteed number of payments • joint and survivor life income with guaranteed number of payments • guaranteed number of payments for a specified period • life income with cash refund • joint life income with cash refund • life income with installment refund • joint life income with installment refund Prior to May 1, 2004, Allstate Life also offered two Retirement Income Guarantee Options that guarantee a minimum amount of fixed income payments you can receive if you elect to receive income payments. In addition, we offer an Income Protection Benefit Option that guarantees that your variable income payments will not fall below a certain level. |
Death Benefits | If you, the Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant die before the Payout Start Date, we will pay a death benefit subject to the conditions described in the Contract. In addition to the death benefit included in your Contract (“Return of Premium Death Benefit” or “ROP Death Benefit”), the death benefit options we currently offer include: • MAV Death Benefit Option; • Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option; and • Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option The SureIncome Plus Option and SureIncome For Life Option also include a death benefit option, the SureIncome Return of Premium Death Benefit, (“SureIncome ROP Death Benefit”). |
Transfers | Before the Payout Start Date, you may transfer your Contract Value among the investment alternatives, with certain restrictions. The minimum amount you may transfer is $100 or the amount remaining in the investment alternative, if less. The minimum amount that can be transferred into the Standard Fixed Account or Market Value Adjusted Account Options is $100. A charge may apply after the 12th transfer in each Contract Year. |
Withdrawals | You may withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase and during the Payout Phase in certain cases. In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. Withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. A withdrawal charge and a Market Value Adjustment may also apply. Unless a Withdrawal Benefit Option is in effect under your Contract: if any withdrawal reduces your Contract Value to less than $1,000, we will treat the request as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value; and your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value. |

How the Contracts Work
Each Contract basically works in two ways.
First, each Contract can help you (we assume you are the “Contract Owner”) save for retirement because you can invest in your Contract’s investment alternatives and generally pay no federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during what we call the “Accumulation Phase” of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the “Issue Date”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/or Fixed Account Options. If you invest in a Fixed Account Option, you will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest in any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.
Second, each Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to receive retirement income for life and/or for a pre-set number of years, by selecting one of the income payment options (we call these “Income Plans”) – see the Income Payments section in this Prospectus. You receive income payments during what we call the “Payout Phase” of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select. During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.
The time line below illustrates how you might use your Contract.
Other income payment options are also available. See “Income Payments.”
As the Contract Owner, you exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by the Contract. If you die, any surviving Contract Owner or, if there is none, the Beneficiary will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the Contract. See “The Contracts.” In addition, if you die before the Payout Start Date, we will pay a death benefit to any surviving Contract Owner or, if there is none, to your Beneficiary. See “Death Benefits.”
Please call us at 1-800-457-7617 if you have any question about how the Contracts work.

Contract with the MAV Death Benefit Option, Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option, and Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option (issue age 71-79) | Mortality and Expense Risk Charge* | Administrative Expense Charge* | Total Variable Account Annual Expense |

PORTFOLIO ANNUAL EXPENSES – Minimum and Maximum
The next table shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. Advisers and/or other service providers of certain Portfolios may have agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse Portfolio expenses in order to keep the Portfolios’ expenses below specified limits. The range of expenses shown in this table does not show the effect of any such fee waiver or expense reimbursement. More detail concerning each Portfolio’s fees and expenses appears in the prospectus for each Portfolio.
PORTFOLIO ANNUAL EXPENSES
Minimum | Maximum | |
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (1) (expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets, which may include management fees, distribution and/or services (12b-1) fees, and other expenses) | 0.35% | 1.77% |
(1) | Expenses are shown as a percentage of Portfolio average daily net assets (before any waiver or reimbursement) as of December 31, 2018 (except as otherwise noted). |
EXPENSE EXAMPLE
These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contracts with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Variable Account annual expenses, and Portfolio fees and expenses.
The example shows the dollar amount of expenses that you would bear directly or indirectly if you:
• | invested $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated; |
• | earned a 5% annual return on your investment; |
• | allocate all of your Account Value to the sub-Account with the Maximum Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses as listed in the Expense Table, and these remain the same each year.* |
• | elected the MAV Death Benefit Option and the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option; |
• | elected the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option (assuming issue age 71-79); |
• | elected the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option; and |
• | elected the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option. ** |
The examples also assume:
• | No tax charge applies. |
• | For each charge, we deduct the maximum charge rather than current charge. |
• | You make no transfers, or other transactions for which we charge a fee. |
Amounts shown in the examples are rounded to the nearest dollar.
* Note: Not all Portfolios offered as Sub-accounts may be available depending on optional benefit selection, the applicable jurisdiction and selling firm.
** Note: The combination of optional benefits represents the maximum optional benefit charge.
THE EXAMPLES ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY. THEY SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES OF THE UNDERLYING PORTFOLIOS. ACTUAL EXPENSES WILL BE LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN DEPENDING UPON WHICH OPTIONAL BENEFIT YOU ELECT OTHER THAN INDICATED IN THE EXAMPLES OR IF YOU ALLOCATE ACCOUNT VALUE TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE SUB-ACCOUNTS.

Financial Information
To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the “Accumulation Unit.” Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we call “Accumulation Unit Value.” Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund.
15
Accumulation Unit Values for the lowest and highest available combinations of Contract charges that affect Accumulation Unit Values for each Contract are shown in Appendix K of this prospectus. The Statement of Additional Information contains the Accumulation Unit Values for all other available combinations of Contract charges that affect Accumulation Unit Values for each Contract.
The Contracts
CONTRACT OWNER
Each Contract is an agreement between you, the Contract Owner, and Allstate Life, a life insurance company. As the Contract Owner, you may exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract. That means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):
• | the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases, |
• | the amount and timing of your purchase payments and withdrawals, |
• | the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money, |
• | the income payment plan(s) you want to use to receive retirement income, |
• | the Annuitant (either yourself or someone else) on whose life the income payments will be based, |
• | the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the Contract provides when the last surviving Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies, and |
• | any other rights that the Contract provides, including restricting income payments to Beneficiaries. |
If you die, any surviving joint Contract Owner or, if none, the Beneficiary may exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract. If the sole surviving Contract Owner dies after the Payout Start Date, the Primary Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments scheduled to continue.
If the Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date and the Contract Owner is a grantor trust not established by a business, the new Contract Owner will be the Beneficiary(ies).
The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-living person and a living person unless the Contract Owner(s) assumed ownership of the Contract as a Beneficiary(ies). The maximum age of any Contract Owner on the date we receive the completed application for each Contract is 90.
If you select the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (MAV) Option, the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option, or the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner on the Rider Application Date is currently age 79. If you select the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option or the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts (CSP), the maximum age of any Contract Owner or beneficial owner for CSP on the Rider Application Date is currently age 90. If you select the SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner on the Rider Application Date is age 85. If you select the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner on the Rider Application Date is age 85. If you select the SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option, the minimum and maximum ages of the oldest Contract Owner (oldest annuitant if Contract Owner is a non-living person) on the Rider Application Date are ages 50 and 79, respectively.
The Contract can also be purchased as an IRA or TSA (also known as a 403(b)). The endorsements required to qualify these annuities under the Code may limit or modify your rights and privileges under the Contract. We use the term “Qualified Contract” to refer to a Contract issued as an IRA, 403(b), or with a Qualified Plan.
Except for certain retirement plans, you may change the Contract Owner at any time by written notice in a form satisfactory to us. Until we receive your written notice to change the Contract Owner, we are entitled to rely on the most recent information in our files. We will provide a change of ownership form to be signed by you and filed with us. Once we accept the change, the change will take effect as of the date you signed the request. We will not be liable for any payment or settlement made prior to accepting the change. Accordingly, if you wish to change the Contract Owner, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly. Each change is subject to any payment we make or other action we take before we accept it. Changing ownership of this Contract may cause adverse tax consequences and may not be allowed under Qualified Contracts. Please consult with a competent tax advisor prior to making a request for a change of Contract Owner.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the individual whose age determines the latest Payout Start Date and whose life determines the amount and duration of income payments (other than under Income Plan 3). You may not change the Annuitant at any time. You may designate a joint Annuitant, who is a second person on whose life income payments depend, at the time you select an Income Plan. Additional
16
restrictions may apply in the case of Qualified Plans. The maximum age of the Annuitant on the date we receive the completed application for each Contract is age 90.
If you select the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (MAV) Death Benefit Option, Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option or the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 79.
If you select the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 90.
If you select the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 90.
If you select the Income Protection Benefit Option, the oldest Annuitant and joint Annuitant (if applicable) must be age 75 or younger on the Payout Start Date.
If you select the SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 85. If you select the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 85. If you select the SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option, the minimum and maximum ages of the oldest annuitant, if the Contract Owner is a non-living person, on the Rider Application Date are ages 50 and 79, respectively.
If you select an Income Plan that depends on the Annuitant or a joint Annuitant’s life, we may require proof of age and sex before income payments begin and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is still alive before we make each payment.
CO-ANNUITANT
Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option
Contract Owners of IRA Contracts that meet the following conditions and that elect the Spousal Protection Benefit Option may name their spouse as a Co-Annuitant:

You may change the Co-Annuitant to a new spouse only if you provide proof of remarriage in a form satisfactory to us. At any time, there may only be one Co-Annuitant under your Contract. See “Spousal Protection Benefit Option and Death of Co-Annuitant” for more information.
Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts.
Contracts that meet the following conditions and that elect the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts may name the spouse of the Annuitant as a Co-Annuitant:
• | the beneficially owned Contract must be a Custodial traditional IRA, Custodial Roth IRA, or a Custodial Simplified Employee Pension IRA; |
• | the Annuitant must be the beneficial owner of the Custodial traditional IRA, Custodial Roth IRA, or Custodial Simplified Employee Pension IRA; |
• | the Co-Annuitant must be the legal spouse of the Annuitant and only one Co-Annuitant may be named; |
• | the Co-Annuitant must be the sole beneficiary of the Custodial traditional IRA, Custodial Roth IRA, or the Custodial Simplified Employee Pension IRA; |
• | the Annuitant must be age 90 or younger on the Rider Application Date; and |
• | the Co-Annuitant must be age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. |
Under the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts, the Co-Annuitant will be considered to be an Annuitant during the Accumulation Phase, except the Co-Annuitant will not be considered to be an Annuitant for purposes of determining the Payout Start Date or upon the death of the Co-Annuitant. The Co-Annuitant is not considered the beneficial owner of the Custodial Traditional IRA, Custodial Roth IRA, or the Custodial Simplified Employee Pension IRA. See “Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts and Death of Co-Annuitant” for more information.
17
BENEFICIARY
You may name one or more Primary and Contingent Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. The Primary Beneficiary is the person who may, in accordance with the terms of the Contract, elect to receive the death settlement (“Death Proceeds”) or become the new Contract Owner pursuant to the Contract if the sole surviving Contract Owner dies before the Payout Start Date. A Contingent Beneficiary is the person selected by the Contract Owner who will exercise the rights of the Primary Beneficiary if all named Primary Beneficiaries die before the death of the sole surviving Contract Owner.
You may change or add Beneficiaries at any time, unless you have designated an irrevocable Beneficiary. We will provide a change of Beneficiary form to be signed by you and filed with us. After we accept the form, the change of Beneficiary will be effective as of the date you signed the form. Until we accept your written notice to change a Beneficiary, we are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information in our files. We will not be liable for any payment or settlement made prior to accepting the change. Accordingly, if you wish to change your Beneficiary, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly. Each Beneficiary change is subject to any payment made by us or any other action we take before we accept the change.
You may restrict income payments to Beneficiaries by providing us with a written request. Once we accept the written request, the restriction will take effect as of the date you signed the request. Any restriction is subject to any payment made by us or any other action we take before we accept the request.
If you did not name a Beneficiary or, unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, if a named Beneficiary is no longer living and there are no other surviving Primary or Contingent Beneficiaries when the sole surviving Contract Owner dies, the new Beneficiary will be:
• | your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive, |
• | your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children, |
• | your estate. |
If more than one Beneficiary survives you (or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is a grantor trust), we will divide the Death Proceeds among the surviving Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you have not given us written instructions in a form satisfactory to us, we will pay the Death Proceeds in equal amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries. If there is more than one Beneficiary in a class (e.g., more than one Primary Beneficiary) and one of the Beneficiaries predeceases the Contract Owner (the Annuitant if the Contract Owner is a grantor trust), the remaining Beneficiaries in that class will divide the deceased Beneficiary’s share in proportion to the original share of the remaining Beneficiaries.
For purposes of this Contract, in determining whether a living person, including a Contract Owner, Primary Beneficiary, Contingent Beneficiary, or Annuitant (“Living Person A”) has survived another living person, including a Contract Owner, Primary Beneficiary, Contingent Beneficiary, or Annuitant (“Living Person B”), Living Person A must survive Living Person B by at least 24 hours. Otherwise, Living Person A will be conclusively deemed to have predeceased Living Person B.
Where there are multiple Beneficiaries, we will only value the Death Proceeds at the time the first Beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in good order. Any Death Proceeds amounts attributable to any Beneficiary which remain in the Variable Sub-Accounts are subject to investment risk. If there is more than one Beneficiary taking shares of the Death Proceeds, each Beneficiary will be treated as a separate and independent owner of his or her respective share of the Death Proceeds. Each Beneficiary will exercise all rights related to his or her share of the Death Proceeds, including the sole right to select a death settlement option, subject to any restrictions previously placed upon the Beneficiary. Each Beneficiary may designate a Beneficiary(ies) for his or her respective share, but that designated Beneficiary(ies) will be restricted to the death settlement option chosen by the original Beneficiary.
If there is more than one Beneficiary and one of the Beneficiaries is a corporation, trust or other non-living person, all Beneficiaries will be considered to be non-living persons.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Only an Allstate Life officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. None of our agents has the authority to change or waive the provisions of the Contract. We may not change the terms of the Contract without your consent, except to conform the Contract to applicable law or changes in the law. If a provision of the Contract is inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.
ASSIGNMENT
You may not assign an interest in this Contract as collateral or security for a loan. However, you may assign periodic income payments under this Contract prior to the Payout Start Date. No Beneficiary may assign benefits under the Contract until they are due. We will not be bound by any assignment until the assignor signs it and files it with us. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. Federal law prohibits or restricts the assignment of benefits under many types of retirement plans and the terms of such plans may themselves contain restrictions on assignments. An assignment may also result in taxes or tax penalties. You should consult with an attorney before trying to assign periodic income payments under your Contract.

Purchases
MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS
The minimum initial purchase payment for Non- Qualified Contracts is $10,000, ($2,000 for Contracts issued with an IRA or TSA). All subsequent purchase payments under a Contract must be $1,000 or more ($50 for automatic payments). For Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts, purchase payments do not include any Credit Enhancements. You may make purchase payments at any time prior to the Payout Start Date; however, any additional payments after the initial purchase payment may be limited in some states. Please consult with your representative for details. The total amount of purchase payments we will accept for each Contract without our prior approval is $1,000,000. We reserve the right to accept a lesser initial purchase payment amount or lesser subsequent purchase payment amounts. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the investment alternatives for additional investments. We also reserve the right to reject any application. We may apply certain limitations, restrictions, and/or underwriting standards as a condition of acceptance of purchase payments.
AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM
You may make subsequent purchase payments of $50 or more per month by automatically transferring money from your bank account. Please consult with your sales representative for detailed information. The Automatic Additions Program is not available for making purchase payments into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
At the time you apply for a Contract, you must decide how to allocate your purchase payment among the investment alternatives. The allocation you specify on your application will be effective immediately. All allocations must be in whole percents that total 100% or in whole dollars. You can change your allocations by calling us at 1-800-457-7617.
We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment alternatives according to your most recent instructions on file with us. Unless you notify us otherwise, we will allocate subsequent purchase payments according to the allocation for the previous purchase payment. We will effect any change in allocation instructions at the time we receive written notice of the change in good order.
We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed application to your Contract within two business days after we receive the payment at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to complete your application within five business days. If you do so, we will credit your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that five business day period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the five business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our service center in Good Order.
We use the term “business day” to refer to each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as “Valuation Dates.” Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes for regular trading, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (3:00 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.
There may be circumstances where the New York Stock Exchange is open, however, due to inclement weather, natural disaster or other circumstances beyond our control, our offices may be closed or our business processing capabilities may be restricted. Under those circumstances, your Contract Value may fluctuate based on changes in the Accumulation Unit Values, but you may not be able to transfer Contract Value, or make a purchase or redemption request.
With respect to any purchase payment that is pending investment in our Variable Account, we may hold the amount temporarily in a suspense account and may earn interest on amounts held in that suspense account. You will not be credited with any interest on amounts held in that suspense account.
CREDIT ENHANCEMENT
For Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts, each time you make a purchase payment, we will add to your Contract Value a Credit Enhancement equal to 4% of the purchase payment if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 85 or younger on the date we receive the completed application for the Contract (“Application Date”). If the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant is age 86 or older and both are 90 or younger on the Application Date, we will add to your Contract Value a Credit Enhancement equal to 2% of the purchase payment. An additional Credit Enhancement will be added to your Contract if the cumulative purchase payments (including the purchase payment being made) less cumulative withdrawals exceed a certain threshold. The thresholds apply individually to each Allstate Advisor Plus Contract you own. The additional Credit Enhancements and their corresponding thresholds are as follows:
19
Additional Credit Enhancement for Large Contracts | Cumulative Purchase Payments less Cumulative Withdrawals must exceed: |
0.50% of the purchase payment | $500,000 |
1.00% of the purchase payment | $1,000,000 |
If you exercise your right to cancel the Contract during the Trial Examination Period, the amount we refund to you will not include any Credit Enhancement. See “Trial Examination Period” below for details. The Allstate Advisor Plus Contract may not be available in all states.
We will allocate any Credit Enhancements to the investment alternatives according to the allocation instructions you have on file with us at the time we receive your purchase payment. We will allocate each Credit Enhancement among the investment alternatives in the same proportions as the corresponding purchase payment. We do not consider Credit Enhancements to be investments in the Contract for income tax purposes.
We use a portion of the withdrawal charge and mortality and expense risk charge to help recover the cost of providing the Credit Enhancement under the Contract. See “Expenses.” Under certain circumstances (such as a period of poor Sub-account performance) the cost associated with the Credit Enhancement may exceed the sum of the Credit Enhancement and any related earnings. You should consider this possibility before purchasing the Contract.
TRIAL EXAMINATION PERIOD
You may cancel your Contract by providing us with written notice within the Trial Examination Period, which is the 20-day period after you receive the Contract, or such longer period that your state may require. If you exercise this “Right to Cancel,” the Contract terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your purchase payments allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect investment gain or loss, including the deduction of mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges, that occurred from the date of allocation through the date of cancellation. The amount you receive will be less applicable federal and state income tax withholding. If your Contract is qualified under Code Section 408(b), we will refund the greater of any purchase payments or the Contract Value.
For Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts, we have received regulatory relief to enable us to recover the amount of any Credit Enhancement applied to Contracts that are cancelled during the Trial Examination Period. The amount we return to you upon exercise of this Right to Cancel will not include any Credit Enhancement or the amount of charges deducted prior to cancellation, but will reflect, except in states where we are required to return the amount of your purchase payments, any investment gain or loss associated with your Variable Account purchase payments and with the full amount of the Credit Enhancement, including the deduction of mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges.
We reserve the right to allocate your purchase payments to the Putnam VT Government Money Market – Class IB Sub-Account during the Trial Examination Period.
For Contracts purchased in California by persons age 60 and older, you may elect to defer until the end of the Trial Examination Period allocation of your purchase payment to the Variable Sub-Accounts. Unless you instruct otherwise, upon making this election, your purchase payment will be allocated to the Putnam VT Government Money Market – Class IB Sub-Account. On the next Valuation Date 40 days after the Issue Date, your Contract Value will then be reallocated in accordance with your most recent investment allocation instructions.
State laws vary and may require a different period, other variations or adjustments. Please refer to your Contract for any state specific information.
Contract Value
On the Issue Date, the Contract Value is equal to your initial purchase payment (for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts, your initial purchase payment plus the Credit Enhancement).
Thereafter, your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you have selected, plus your value in the Fixed Account Option(s) offered by your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to allocate to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment or transfer you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account to your Contract. For Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts, we would credit your Contract additional Accumulation Units of the Variable Sub-Account to reflect the Credit Enhancement paid on your purchase
20
payment. See “Credit Enhancement.” Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account for each Contract will rise or fall to reflect:
• | changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account invests, and |
• | the deduction of amounts reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative expense charge |
We determine any applicable withdrawal charges, Rider Fees (if applicable), transfer fees, and contract maintenance charges separately for each Contract. They do not affect the Accumulation Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming Accumulation Units. For details on how we compute Accumulation Unit Values, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account for each Contract on each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit Values that reflect the cost of each optional benefit, or available combination thereof, offered under the Contract.
You should refer to the prospectuses for the Funds for a description of how the assets of each Portfolio are valued, since that determination directly bears on the Accumulation Unit Value of the corresponding Variable Sub-Account and, therefore, your Contract Value.
TRUERETURNSM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT OPTION
We offer the TrueReturnSM Accumulation Benefit Option, which is available for an additional fee. The TrueReturn Option guarantees a minimum Contract Value on the “Rider Maturity Date.” The Rider Maturity Date is determined by the length of the Rider Period which you select. The Option provides no minimum Contract Value if the Option terminates before the Rider Maturity Date. See “Termination of the TrueReturn Option” below for details on termination.
The TrueReturn Option is available at issue of the Contract, or may be added later, subject to availability and issue requirements. You may not add the TrueReturn Option to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the TrueReturn Option. Currently, you may have only one TrueReturn Option in effect on your Contract at one time. You may only have one of the following in effect on your Contract at the same time: a TrueReturn Option, a Retirement Income Guarantee Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option. The TrueReturn Option has no maximum issue age, however the Rider Maturity Date must occur before the latest Payout Start Date, which is the later of the Annuitant’s 99th birthday or the 10th Contract Anniversary. Once added to your Contract, the TrueReturn Option may be cancelled at any time on or after the 5th Rider Anniversary by notifying us in writing in a form satisfactory to us.
The “Rider Anniversary” is the anniversary of the Rider Date. We reserve the right to extend the date on which the TrueReturn Option may be cancelled to up to the 10th Rider Anniversary at any time in our sole discretion. Any change we make will not apply to a TrueReturn Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change.
When you add the TrueReturn Option to your Contract, you must select a Rider Period and a Guarantee Option. The Rider Period and Guarantee Option you select determine the AB Factor, which is used to determine the Accumulation Benefit, described below. The “Rider Period” begins on the Rider Date and ends on the Rider Maturity Date. The “Rider Date” is the date the TrueReturn Option was made a part of your Contract. We currently offer Rider Periods ranging from 8 to 20 years depending on the Guarantee Option you select. You may select any Rider Period from among those we currently offer, provided the Rider Maturity Date occurs prior to the latest Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to offer additional Rider Periods in the future, and to discontinue offering any of the Rider Periods at any time. Each Model Portfolio Option available under a Guarantee Option has specific investment requirements that are described in the “Investment Requirements” section below and may depend upon the Rider Date of your TrueReturn Option. We reserve the right to offer additional Guarantee Options in the future, and to discontinue offering any of the Guarantee Options at any time. After the Rider Date, the Rider Period and Guarantee Option may not be changed.
The TrueReturn Option may not be available in all states. We may discontinue offering the TrueReturn Option at any time to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the Option prior to the date of discontinuance.
Accumulation Benefit.
On the Rider Maturity Date, if the Accumulation Benefit is greater than the Contract Value, then the Contract Value will be increased to equal the Accumulation Benefit. The excess amount of any such increase will be allocated to the Putnam VT Government Money Market – Class IB Sub-Account. You may transfer the excess amount out of the Putnam VT Government Money Market – Class IB Sub-Account and into another investment alternative at any time thereafter. However, each transfer you make will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee. Prior to the Rider Maturity Date, the Accumulation Benefit will not be available as a Contract Value, Settlement Value, or Death Proceeds. Additionally, we will not pay an Accumulation Benefit
21
if the TrueReturn Option is terminated for any reason prior to the Rider Maturity Date. After the Rider Maturity Date, the TrueReturn Option provides no additional benefit.
The “Accumulation Benefit” is equal to the Benefit Base multiplied by the AB Factor. The “AB Factor” is determined by the Rider Period and Guarantee Option you selected as of the Rider Date. The following table shows the AB Factors available for the Rider Periods and Guarantee Options we currently offer.
AB Factors | ||
Rider Period (number of years) | Guarantee Option 1 | Guarantee Option 2 |
8 | 100.0% | NA |
9 | 112.5% | NA |
10 | 125.0% | 100.0% |
11 | 137.5% | 110.0% |
12 | 150.0% | 120.0% |
13 | 162.5% | 130.0% |
14 | 175.0% | 140.0% |
15 | 187.5% | 150.0% |
16 | 200.0% | 160.0% |
17 | 212.5% | 170.0% |
18 | 225.0% | 180.0% |
19 | 237.5% | 190.0% |
20 | 250.0% | 200.0% |
The following examples illustrate the Accumulation Benefit calculations under Guarantee Options 1 and 2 on the Rider Maturity Date. For the purpose of illustrating the Accumulation Benefit calculation, the examples assume the Benefit Base is the same on the Rider Date and the Rider Maturity Date.
Example 1: Guarantee Option 1
Guarantee Option: | 1 |
Rider Period: | 15 |
AB Factor: | 187.5% |
Rider Date: | 1/2/04 |
Rider Maturity Date: | 1/2/19 |
Benefit Base on Rider Date: | $50,000 |
Benefit Base on rider Maturity Date: | $50,000 |
On the Rider Maturity Date (1/2/19): | |
Accumulation Benefit | = Benefit Base on Rider Maturity Date × AB Factor |
= $50,000 × 187.5% | |
= $93,750 |
Example 2: Guarantee Option 2
Guarantee Option: | 2 |
Rider Period: | 15 |
AB Factor: | 150.0% |
Rider Date: | 1/2/04 |
Rider Maturity Date: | 1/2/19 |
Benefit Base on Rider Date: | $50,000 |
Benefit Base on rider Maturity Date: | $50,000 |
On the Rider Maturity Date (1/2/19): | |
Accumulation Benefit | = Benefit Base on Rider Maturity Date × AB Factor |
= $50,000 × 150.0% | |
= $75,000 |
Guarantee Option 1 offers a higher AB Factor and more rider periods than Guarantee Option 2. Guarantee Option 1 and Guarantee Option 2 have different investment restrictions. See “Investment Requirements” below for more information.
22
Benefit Base
The Benefit Base is used solely for purposes of determining the Rider Fee and the Accumulation Benefit. The Benefit Base is not available as a Contract Value, Settlement Value, or Death Proceeds. On the Rider Date, the “Benefit Base” is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be recalculated for purchase payments and withdrawals as follows:
• | The Benefit Base will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made prior to or on the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of your Contract, you may add purchase payments after this date, but they will not be included in the calculation of the Benefit Base. Therefore, if you plan to make purchase payments after the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, you should consider carefully whether this Option is appropriate for your needs. |
• | The Benefit Base will be decreased by a Withdrawal Adjustment for each withdrawal you make. The Withdrawal Adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result multiplied by (c), where: |
(a) | = the withdrawal amount; |
(b) | = the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and |
(c) | = the Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal. |
Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. A withdrawal charge also may apply. See Appendix G for numerical examples that illustrate how the Withdrawal Adjustment is applied.
The Benefit Base will never be less than zero.
Investment Requirements
If you add the TrueReturn Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest during the Rider Period. The specific requirements will depend on the model portfolio option (“Model Portfolio Option”) you have selected and the effective date of your TrueReturn Option. These requirements are described below in more detail. These requirements may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain Variable Sub-Accounts or on certain Fixed Account Options, exclusion of certain Variable Sub-Accounts or of certain Fixed Account Options, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts, and restrictions on transfers to or from certain investment alternatives. We may also require that you use the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program. We may change the specific requirements that are applicable to a Guarantee Option or a Model Portfolio Option available under a Guarantee Option at any time in our sole discretion. Any changes we make will not apply to a TrueReturn Option that was made a part of your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change, except for changes made due to a change in investment alternatives available under the Contract. Any changes we make will apply to a new TrueReturn Option elected subsequent to the change pursuant to the Rider Trade-In Option.
When you add the TrueReturn Option to your Contract, you must allocate your entire Contract Value as follows:
1) | to a Model Portfolio Option available with the Guarantee Option you selected, as defined below; or |
2) | to the DCA Fixed Account Option and then transfer all purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and interest according to a Model Portfolio Option available with the Guarantee Option you selected; or |
3) | to a combination of (1) and (2) above. |
For (2) and (3) above, the requirements for the DCA Fixed Account Option must be met. See the “Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option” section of this prospectus for more information.
On the Rider Date, you must select only one of the Model Portfolio Options in which to allocate your Contract Value. After the Rider Date, you may transfer your entire Contract Value to any of the other Model Portfolio Options available with your Guarantee Option. We currently offer several Model Portfolio Options with each of the available Guarantee Options. The Model Portfolio Options that are available under Guarantee Options may differ depending upon the effective date of your TrueReturn Option. Please refer to the Model Portfolio Option 1, Model Portfolio Option 2, TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options, and Fidelity® VIP Freedom Funds Model Portfolio Options sections below for more details. We may add other Model Portfolio Options in the future. We also may remove Model Portfolio Options in the future anytime prior to the date you select such Model Portfolio Option. In addition, if the investment alternatives available under the Contract change, we may revise the Model Portfolio Options. The following table summarizes the Model Portfolio Options currently available for use with each Guarantee Option under the TrueReturn Option:
23
Guarantee Option 1 | Guarantee Option 2 |
* Model Portfolio Option 1 * TrueBalance Conservative Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio Option * Fidelity® VIP Freedom Income Fund Model Portfolio Option * Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2010 Fund Model Portfolio Option | * Model Portfolio Option 2 * TrueBalance Conservative Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Moderate Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Moderately Aggressive Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Aggressive Model Portfolio Option * Fidelity® VIP Freedom Income Fund Model Portfolio Option * Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2010 Fund Model Portfolio Option * Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2020 Fund Model Portfolio Option * Fidelity® VIP Freedom 2030 Fund Model Portfolio Option |
Note: The TrueBalance Model Portfolio Options were added to the TrueReturn Option on May 1, 2005. TrueBalance model portfolios selected prior to May 1, 2005, may not be used with the TrueReturn Option. The Fidelity® VIP Freedom Funds Model Portfolio Options are available as Model Portfolio Options under Guarantee Option 1 and Guarantee Option 2 (Rider Date prior to October 1, 2004). For Guarantee Option 2 (Rider Date on or after October 1, 2004), the Fidelity® VIP Freedom Funds are part of the available Variable Sub-Accounts listed under Model Portfolio Option 2. Please note that only certain Fidelity® VIP Freedom Funds Model Portfolio Options are available with your TrueReturn Option as summarized in the table above.
You may not allocate any of your Contract Value to the Standard Fixed Account Option or to the MVA Fixed Account Option. You must transfer any portion of your Contract Value that is allocated to the Standard Fixed Account Option or to the MVA Fixed Account Option to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to adding the TrueReturn Option to your Contract. Transfers from the MVA Fixed Account Option may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. You may allocate any portion of your purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) to the DCA Fixed Account Option on the Rider Date, provided the DCA Fixed Account Option is available with your Contract and in your state. See the “Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option” section of this prospectus for more information. We use the term “Transfer Period Account” to refer to each purchase payment allocation made to the DCA Fixed Account Option for a specified term length. At the expiration of a Transfer Period Account any remaining amounts in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to the percentage allocations for the Model Portfolio Option you selected.
Any subsequent purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made to your Contract will be allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your specific instructions or your allocation for the previous purchase payment (for Model Portfolio Option 1) or the percentage allocation for your current Model Portfolio Option (for TrueBalance Model Portfolio Options) unless you request that the purchase payment (and Credit Enhancement for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) be allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option. Purchase payments allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option must be $100 or more. Any withdrawals you request will reduce your Contract Value invested in each of the investment alternatives on a pro rata basis in the proportion that your Contract Value in each bears to your total Contract Value in all Variable Sub-Accounts, unless you request otherwise.
Model Portfolio Option 1
If you choose Model Portfolio Option 1 or transfer your entire Contract Value into Model Portfolio Option 1 under Guarantee Option 1, you must allocate a certain percentage of your Contract Value into each of three asset categories. Please note that certain investment alternatives are not available under Model Portfolio Option 1. You may choose the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you want to invest, provided you maintain the percentage allocation requirements for each category. You may also make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts within each category at any time, provided you maintain the percentage allocation requirements for each category. However, each transfer you make will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.
Effective October 1, 2004, certain Variable Sub-Accounts under Model Portfolio 1 were reclassified into different asset categories. These changes apply to TrueReturn Options effective prior to and on or after October 1, 2004. The following table describes the percentage allocation requirements for Model Portfolio Option 1 and Variable Sub-Accounts available under each category:

Model Portfolio Option 2
The investment requirements under Model Portfolio Option 2 depend on the Rider Date of your TrueReturn Option.
Model Portfolio Option 2 (Rider Date prior to October 1, 2004)
If your TrueReturn Option Rider Date is prior to October 1, 2004 and you choose Model Portfolio Option 2 or transfer your entire Contract Value into Model Portfolio Option 2, you may allocate your Contract Value among any of a selected group of available Variable Sub-Accounts listed below. You may choose the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you want to invest, provided you maintain the percentage allocation requirements for each category. You may also make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts within each category at any time, provided you maintain the percentage allocation requirements for each category. However, each transfer you make will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.
The following table describes the percentage allocation requirements for Model Portfolio Option 2 (Rider Date prior to October 1, 2004) and the Variable Sub-Accounts available under each category:

If you choose one of the TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options or transfer your entire Contract Value into one of the TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options, you may not choose the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts in the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. Each TrueBalance Model Portfolio involves an allocation of assets among a group of pre-selected Variable Sub-Accounts. You cannot make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts nor vary the Variable Sub-Accounts that comprise a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. If you choose a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, we will invest and periodically reallocate your Contract Value according to the allocation percentages and requirements for the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option you have selected currently. For more information regarding the TrueBalance program, see the “TrueBalanceSM Asset Allocation Program” section of this prospectus. However, note that the restrictions described in this section, specifically the restrictions on transfers and the requirement that all of your Contract Value be allocated to a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, apply to the TrueBalance program only if you have added the TrueReturn Option to your Contract.
Please note only certain TrueBalance Model Portfolio Options are available with your TrueReturn Option as summarized in the table under Investment Requirements above.
Cancellation of the TrueReturn Option.
You may not cancel the TrueReturn Option or make transfers, changes to your investment allocations, or changes to the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program that are inconsistent with the investment restrictions applicable to your Guarantee Option and/or Model Portfolio Option prior to the 5th Rider Anniversary. Failure to comply with the investment requirements for any reason may result in the cancellation of the TrueReturn Option. On or after the 5th Rider Anniversary, we will cancel the TrueReturn Option if you make transfers, changes to your investment allocations, or changes to the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program that are inconsistent with the investment requirements applicable to your Guarantee Option and/or Model Portfolio Option. We will not cancel the TrueReturn Option or make any changes to your investment allocations or to the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program that are inconsistent with the investment restrictions applicable to your Guarantee Option until we receive notice from you that you wish to cancel the TrueReturn Option. No Accumulation Benefit will be paid if you cancel the Option prior to the Rider Maturity Date.
Death of Owner or Annuitant.
If the Contract Owner or Annuitant dies before the Rider Maturity Date and the Contract is continued under Option D of the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provision of your Contract, as described in the Death Benefits section of this Prospectus, then the TrueReturn Option will continue, unless the new Contract Owner elects to cancel this Option. If the TrueReturn Option is continued, it
31
will remain in effect until terminated. If the Contract is not continued under Option D, then the TrueReturn Option will terminate on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds.
Rider Trade-In Option.
We offer a “Rider Trade-In Option” that allows you to cancel your TrueReturn Option and immediately add a new TrueReturn Option (“New Option”), provided all of the following conditions are met:
• | The trade-in must occur on or after the 5th Rider Anniversary and prior to the Rider Maturity Date. We reserve the right to extend the date at which time the trade-in may occur to up to the 10th anniversary of the Rider Date at any time in our sole discretion. Any change we make will not apply to a TrueReturn Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change. |
• | The New Option will be made a part of your Contract on the date the existing TrueReturn Option is cancelled, provided it is cancelled for reasons other than the termination of your Contract. |
• | The New Option must be a TrueReturn Option that we make available for use with the Rider Trade-In Option. |
• | The issue requirements and terms and conditions of the New Option must be met as of the date the New Option is made a part of your Contract. |
For example, if you trade-in your TrueReturn Option:
• | the new Rider Fee will be based on the Rider Fee percentage applicable to a new TrueReturn Option at the time of trade-in; |
• | the Benefit Base for the New Option will be based on the Contract Value as of the new Rider Date; |
• | the AB Factor will be determined by the Rider Periods and Guarantee Options available with the New Option; |
• | the Model Portfolio Options will be determined by the Model Portfolio Options offered with the Guarantee Options available with the New Option; |
• | any waiting period for canceling the New Option will start again on the new Rider Date; |
• | any waiting period for exercising the Rider Trade-In Option will start again on the new Rider Date; and |
• | the terms and conditions of the Rider Trade-In Option will be according to the requirements of the New Option. |
We are also making the Withdrawal Benefit Options available at the time of your first utilization of this TrueReturn Rider Trade-In Option. We may discontinue offering any of these Withdrawal Benefit Options under the Rider Trade-In Option with respect to new TrueReturn Options added in the future at anytime at our discretion. If we do so, TrueReturn Options issued prior to this time will continue to have a Withdrawal Benefit Option available at the time of the first utilization of this TrueReturn Rider Trade-In Option. You may cancel your TrueReturn Option and immediately add a new SureIncome Option, a new SureIncome Plus Option, or a new SureIncome For Life Option, provided all of the following conditions are met:
• | The trade-in must occur on or after the 5th Rider Anniversary and prior to the Rider Maturity Date. At our discretion, we reserve the right to extend the date at which time the trade-in may occur up to the 10th anniversary of the Rider Date at any time. Any change we make will not apply to a TrueReturn Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change. |
• | The new Withdrawal Benefit Option will be made a part of your Contract on the date the existing TrueReturn Option is cancelled, provided it is cancelled for reasons other than the termination of your Contract. |
• | The new Withdrawal Benefit Option must be a Withdrawal Benefit Option that we make available for use with this Rider Trade-In Option. |
• | The issue requirements and terms and conditions of the new Withdrawal Benefit Option must be met as of the date the new Withdrawal Benefit Option is made a part of your Contract. Currently, if you select the SureIncome or SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option by utilizing the Rider Trade-In Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner or Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 85. For other Withdrawal Benefit Options that may be selected in the future utilizing the Rider Trade-In Option, issue age requirements may differ. |
You should consult with your sales representative before trading in your TrueReturn Option.

WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTIONS
“Withdrawal Benefit Options” is used to refer collectively to the SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option, the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option, and the SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option. “Withdrawal Benefit Option” is used to refer to any one of the Withdrawal Benefit Options.
Some broker-dealers or banks may limit the availability of one or more Withdrawal Benefit Option. Your individual sales representative will describe any limitations to you.
SUREINCOME WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTION
We offer the SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option (“SureIncome Option”), which is available for an additional fee.
The SureIncome Option provides a guaranteed withdrawal benefit that gives you the right to take limited partial withdrawals that total an amount equal to your purchase payments plus any applicable credit enhancements (subject to certain restrictions). Therefore, regardless of the subsequent fluctuations in the value of your Contract Value, you are entitled to a Benefit Payment each Benefit Year until your Benefit Base is exhausted (terms defined below).
The SureIncome Option guarantees an amount up to the “Benefit Payment Remaining” which will be available for withdrawal from the Contract each “Benefit Year” until the “Benefit Base” (defined below) is reduced to zero. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero and the Benefit Base is still greater than zero, we will distribute an amount equal to the Benefit Base to the Contract owner as described below under the “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase”.
For purposes of the SureIncome Option, “withdrawal” means the gross amount of a withdrawal before any applicable charges such as withdrawal charges, fees, taxes or adjustments including any applicable Market Value Adjustments and surrender charges. Under the SureIncome Option, we do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value.
The “Rider Date” is the date the SureIncome Option was made a part of your Contract. The initial Benefit Year is the period between the Rider Date and the first Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date. Each subsequent Benefit Year is identical to the Contract Year.
The SureIncome Option is available at issue of the Contract, or may be added later, subject to availability and issue requirements. You may not add the SureIncome Option to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the SureIncome Option. Currently, you may have only one Withdrawal Benefit Option (SureIncome, SureIncome Plus or SureIncome For Life) in effect on your Contract at one time. You may only have one of the following in effect on your Contract at the same time: a Withdrawal Benefit Option, a TrueReturn Option, or a Retirement Income Guarantee Option. The SureIncome Option is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 85 or younger on the effective date of the Rider (the “Rider Application Date”). (The maximum age may depend on your state.) The SureIncome
33
Option is not available to be added to a Contract categorized as a Tax Sheltered Annuity as defined under Code Section 403(b) at this time. We reserve the right to make the SureIncome Option available to such Contracts on a nondiscriminatory basis in the future at our discretion. Once added to your Contract, the SureIncome Option may be cancelled at any time on or after the 5th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date by notifying us in writing in a form satisfactory to us.
We may discontinue offering, at any time without prior notice, the SureIncome Option to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the SureIncome Option prior to the date of discontinuance.
Withdrawal Benefit Factor
The “Withdrawal Benefit Factor” is used to determine the “Benefit Payment” and Benefit Payment Remaining. We currently offer a Withdrawal Benefit Factor equal to 8%. We reserve the right to make other Withdrawal Benefit Factors available in the future for new SureIncome Options and/or to eliminate the current Withdrawal Benefit Factor. Once a Withdrawal Benefit Factor has been established for a SureIncome Option, it cannot be changed after the Rider Date unless that SureIncome Option is terminated.
Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining
The Benefit Payment is the amount available at the beginning of each Benefit Year that you may withdraw during that Benefit Year. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor and the Benefit Base are used to determine your Benefit Payment. The Benefit Payment Remaining is the amount remaining after any previous withdrawals in a Benefit Year that you may withdraw without reducing your Benefit Base by more than the amount of the withdrawal and without reducing your Benefit Payment available in future Benefit Years. Please note that any purchase payments or withdrawals made on a Contract Anniversary would be applied to the Benefit Year that just ended on that Contract Anniversary.
The Benefit Payment Remaining is equal to the Benefit Payment at the beginning of each Benefit Year.
During each Benefit Year the Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor (currently 8% for new SureIncome Options) and reduced by the amount of each withdrawal. The Benefit Payment Remaining will never be less than zero.
On the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment is equal to the greater of:
• | The Contract Value multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor (currently 8% for new SureIncome Options); or |
• | The value of the Benefit Payment of the previous Withdrawal Benefit Option (attached to your Contract) which is being terminated under a rider trade-in option (see “Rider Trade-In Option” below for more information), if applicable. |
After the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor and affected by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment is unchanged. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment will be the lesser of: |
• | The Benefit Payment immediately prior to the withdrawal; or |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal, multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. |
The Benefit Payment Remaining at the time of a withdrawal during a calendar year will be increased on a nondiscriminatory basis in order to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements on the Contract under which this Option has been elected. The Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by the excess of the IRS minimum distribution required on the Contract as calculated at the end of the previous calendar year and the Benefit Payment at the end of the previous calendar year. For the purposes of this calculation, the Benefit Payment Remaining will not be increased if a Withdrawal Benefit Option was not attached to this Contract as of the end of the previous calendar year. Note that any systematic withdrawal programs designed to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements may need to be modified to ensure guarantees under this Option are not impacted by the withdrawals. This modification may result in uneven payment amounts throughout the year.
Benefit Base
The Benefit Base is not available as a Contract Value or Settlement Value. The Benefit Base is used solely to help calculate the Rider Fee, the amount that may be withdrawn and payments that may be received under the SureIncome Option. On the Rider Date, the Benefit Base is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
34
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The Benefit Base immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal. |
The Benefit Base may also be reduced in other situations as detailed in the “Contract Owner and Assignment of Payments or Interest” section below.
If the Benefit Base is reduced to zero, this SureIncome Option will terminate.
For numerical examples that illustrate how the values defined under the SureIncome Option are calculated, see Appendix H.
Contract Owner and Assignment of Payments or Interest
If you change the Contract Owner or assign any payments or interest under this Contract, as allowed, to any living or non-living person other than your spouse on or after the first calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be recalculated to be the lesser of the Contract Value and the Benefit Base at the time of assignment.
Contract Value
If your Contract Value is reduced to zero due to fees or withdrawals and your Benefit Base is still greater than zero, your Contract will immediately enter the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase. Under the SureIncome Option, we currently do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value. We reserve the right to change this at any time.
Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends and the Contract enters the Payout Phase subject to the following:
The “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date” is the date the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase is entered and the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends.
No further withdrawals, purchase payments or any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase can be made after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date.
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Payout Start Date is the first day of the next Benefit Year after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to allow other Payout Start Dates on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice.
During the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, we will make scheduled fixed income payments to the Owner (or new Contract Owner) at the end of each month starting one month after the Payout Start Date. The amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 12, unless a payment frequency other than monthly is requested. The request must be in a form acceptable to us and processed by us before the first payment is made. (The amount of each payment will be adjusted accordingly; i.e., if the payment frequency requested is quarterly, the amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 4.) Payments will be made over a period certain such that total payments made will equal the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date; therefore, the final payment may be less than each of the previous payments. If your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), the period certain cannot exceed that which is required by such section and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Therefore, the amount of each payment under the SureIncome Option may be larger so that the sum of the payments made over this period equals the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date. Additionally, if your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we will not permit a change in the payment frequency or level.
If your Contract is not subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we reserve the right to allow other payment frequencies or levels on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice. In no event will we allow more than one change in the payment frequency or level during a Contract Year.
If the Owner dies before all payments have been made, the remaining payments will continue to be made to the new Contract Owner as scheduled.
Once all scheduled payments have been paid, the Contract will terminate.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals, purchase payments or take any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase after the commencement of the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date.
Investment Requirements
If you add a SureIncome Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest. These requirements are described in “Investment Requirements (Applicable to All Withdrawal Benefit Options)” below.
35
Cancellation of the SureIncome Option
You may not cancel the SureIncome Option prior to the 5th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date. On or after the 5th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date you may cancel the rider by notifying us in writing in a form satisfactory to us. We reserve the right to extend the date at which time the cancellation may occur to up to the 10th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date at any time in our sole discretion. Any such change we make will not apply to a SureIncome Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change.
Rider Trade-In Option
We offer a “Rider Trade-In Option” that allows you to cancel your SureIncome Option and immediately add a new Withdrawal Benefit Option (“New SureIncome Option”). We currently offer the SureIncome Option or SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option as New SureIncome Options available under the Rider Trade-In Option. We may also offer other Options (“New Options”) under the Rider Trade-In Option. However, you may only select one Option under this Rider Trade-In Option at the time you cancel your SureIncome Option. Currently, we are also making the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option available at the time of your first utilization of this Rider Trade-In Option so that you have the ability to switch from the SureIncome Option to the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option. We may discontinue offering the TrueReturn Option under the Rider Trade-In Option for New SureIncome Options added in the future at anytime at our discretion. If we do so, SureIncome Options issued prior to this time will continue to have a Withdrawal Benefit Option and TrueReturn Option available at the time of the first utilization of this SureIncome Rider Trade-In Option.
This Rider Trade-in Option is available provided all of the following conditions are met:
• | The trade-in must occur on or after the 5th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date. We reserve the right to extend the date at which time the trade-in may occur to up to the 10th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date at any time in our sole discretion. Any change we make will not apply to a SureIncome Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change. |
• | The New SureIncome Option or any New Option will be made a part of your Contract on the date the existing Option is cancelled, provided it is cancelled for reasons other than the termination of your Contract. |
• | The New SureIncome Option or any New Option must be an Option that we make available for use with this Rider Trade-In Option. |
• | The issue requirements and terms and conditions of the New SureIncome Option or the New Option must be met as of the date any such Option is made a part of your Contract. Currently, if you select the SureIncome or SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option utilizing the Rider Trade-in Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner or Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 85. For a New SureIncome Option or New Option that may be offered and selected in the future utilizing the Rider Trade-In Option, issue age requirements may differ. |
If the New Option is a New SureIncome Option, it must provide that the new Benefit Payment be greater than or equal to your current Benefit Payment as of the date the Rider Trade-In Option is exercised, if applicable.
You should consult with your sales representative before trading in your SureIncome Option.
Death of Owner or Annuitant
If the Owner or Annuitant dies and the Contract is continued under Option D of the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of your Contract, then the SureIncome Option will continue unless the Contract Owner (or new Contract Owner) elects to cancel the SureIncome Option. If the SureIncome Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated. If the Contract is not continued under Option D above, then the SureIncome Option will terminate on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds.
If the Contract death settlement options are governed by an Endorsement and such Endorsement allows for the continuation of the Contract upon the death of the Owner or Annuitant by the spouse, the SureIncome Option will continue unless the new Owner elects to cancel the SureIncome Option. If the SureIncome Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated pursuant to Termination of the SureIncome Option below. If the Contract is not continued, then the SureIncome Option will terminate on the date we received a complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds.
Termination of the SureIncome Option
The SureIncome Option will terminate on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | The Benefit Base is reduced to zero; |
• | On the Payout Start Date (except if the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase as defined under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase section); |
• | On the date the Contract is terminated; |
36
• | On the date the SureIncome Option is cancelled; |
• | On the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds; or |
• | On the date the SureIncome Option is replaced with a New Option under the Rider Trade-In Option. |
SUREINCOME PLUS WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTION
We offer the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option (“SureIncome Plus Option”), except in a limited number of states where it is not currently available, for an additional fee. The SureIncome Plus Option provides a guaranteed withdrawal benefit that gives you the right to take limited partial withdrawals, which may increase during the first 10 years of the Option, that total an amount equal to your purchase payments plus any applicable credit enhancements, subject to certain restrictions. Therefore, regardless of the subsequent fluctuations in the value of your Contract Value, you are entitled to a Benefit Payment each Benefit Year until your Benefit Base is exhausted (see defined terms below). The SureIncome Plus Option also provides an additional death benefit option.
The SureIncome Plus Option guarantees an amount up to the “Benefit Payment Remaining” which will be available for withdrawal from the Contract each “Benefit Year” until the “Benefit Base” (defined below) is reduced to zero. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero and the Benefit Base is still greater than zero, we will distribute an amount equal to the Benefit Base to the Contract Owner as described below under the “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase”. Prior to the commencement of the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the SureIncome Plus Option also provides an additional death benefit option, the SureIncome Return of Premium Death Benefit (“SureIncome ROP Death Benefit”). This death benefit option is described below under “Death of Owner or Annuitant” and in the Death Benefits section of this Prospectus.
For purposes of the SureIncome Plus Option, “withdrawal” means the gross amount of a withdrawal before any applicable charges such as withdrawal charges, fees, taxes or adjustments including any applicable Market Value Adjustments and surrender charges. Under the SureIncome Plus Option, we do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value.
The “Rider Date” is the date the SureIncome Plus Option was made a part of your Contract. The initial Benefit Year is the period between the Rider Date and the first Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date. Each subsequent Benefit Year is identical to the Contract Year.
The SureIncome Plus Option is available at issue of the Contract, or may be added later, subject to availability and issue requirements. You may not add the SureIncome Plus Option to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the SureIncome Plus Option. Currently, you may have only one Withdrawal Benefit Option in effect on your Contract at one time. You may not have more than one of the following in effect on your Contract at the same time: a Withdrawal Benefit Option, a TrueReturn Option, or a Retirement Income Guarantee Option. The SureIncome Plus Option is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 85 or younger on the effective date of the Rider (the “Rider Application Date”). (The maximum age may depend on your state.) The SureIncome Plus Option may not be added to a Contract categorized as a Tax Sheltered Annuity as defined under Code Section 403(b) at this time. We reserve the right to make the SureIncome Plus Option available to such Contracts on a nondiscriminatory basis in the future at our discretion. Once added to your Contract, the SureIncome Plus Option may not be cancelled at any time.
We may discontinue offering the SureIncome Plus Option at any time to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the SureIncome Plus Option prior to the date of discontinuance.
Withdrawal Benefit Factor
The “Withdrawal Benefit Factor” is used to determine the “Benefit Payment” and Benefit Payment Remaining. We currently offer a Withdrawal Benefit Factor equal to 8%. We reserve the right to make other Withdrawal Benefit Factors available in the future for new SureIncome Plus Options and/or to eliminate the current Withdrawal Benefit Factor. Once a Withdrawal Benefit Factor has been established for a SureIncome Plus Option, it cannot be changed after the Rider Date.
Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining
The Benefit Payment is the amount available at the beginning of each Benefit Year that you may withdraw during that Benefit Year. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor and the Benefit Base are used to determine your Benefit Payment. The Benefit Payment Remaining is the amount remaining after any previous withdrawals in a Benefit Year that you may withdraw without reducing your Benefit Base and your SureIncome ROP Death Benefit by more than the amount of the withdrawal and without reducing your Benefit Payment available in future Benefit Years. Please note that any purchase payments or withdrawals made on a Contract Anniversary would be applied to the Benefit Year that just ended on that Contract Anniversary.
The Benefit Payment Remaining is equal to the Benefit Payment at the beginning of each Benefit Year.
During each Benefit Year the Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor (currently 8% for new SureIncome Plus Options) and reduced by the amount of each withdrawal. The Benefit Payment Remaining will never be less than zero.
37
On the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment is equal to the greater of:
• | The Contract Value multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor (currently 8% for new SureIncome Plus Options); or |
• | The value of the Benefit Payment of the previous Withdrawal Benefit Option (attached to your Contract) which is being terminated under a rider trade-in option, if applicable. See Rider Trade-In Option, above, under SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option for more information. |
After the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor and affected by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment is unchanged. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment will be the lesser of: |
• | The Benefit Payment immediately prior to the withdrawal; or |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal, multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge that may be applicable.
On each of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date, the amount of the Benefit Payment may be increased based upon the maximum anniversary value of the Contract according to the following calculation. The Benefit Payment will be recalculated to the greater of:
• | The Benefit Payment following the application of all purchase payments and withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary; and |
• | The Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary, following the application of all purchase payments, withdrawals, and expenses multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. |
The Benefit Payment Remaining at the time of a withdrawal during a calendar year will be increased on a nondiscriminatory basis in order to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements on the Contract under which this Option has been elected. The Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by the excess of the IRS minimum distribution required on the Contract as calculated at the end of the previous calendar year and the Benefit Payment at the end of the previous calendar year. For the purposes of this calculation, the Benefit Payment Remaining will not be increased if a Withdrawal Benefit Option was not attached to this Contract as of the end of the previous calendar year. Note that any systematic withdrawal programs designed to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements may need to be modified to ensure guarantees under this Option are not impacted by the withdrawals. This modification may result in uneven payment amounts throughout the year.
Benefit Base
The Benefit Base is not available as a Contract Value or Settlement Value. The Benefit Base is used solely to help calculate the Rider Fee, the amount that may be withdrawn and payments that may be received under the SureIncome Plus Option. On the Rider Date, the Benefit Base is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal. |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge that may be applicable.
38
On each of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date, the amount of the Benefit Base may be increased based upon the maximum anniversary value of the Contract according to the following calculation. The Benefit Base will be recalculated to the greater of:
• | The Benefit Base following the application of all purchase payments and withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary; and |
• | The Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary, following the application of all purchase payments, withdrawals and expenses. |
The Benefit Base may also be reduced in other situations as detailed in the “Contract Owner and Assignment of Payments or Interest” section below.
If the Benefit Base is reduced to zero, this SureIncome Plus Option will terminate.
For numerical examples that illustrate how the values defined under the SureIncome Plus Option are calculated, see Appendix I.
Contract Owner and Assignment of Payments or Interest
If you change the Contract Owner or assign any payments or interest under the Contract, as allowed, to any living or non-living person other than your spouse on or after the first calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be recalculated to be the lesser of the Contract Value or the Benefit Base at the time of assignment.
Contract Value
If your Contract Value is reduced to zero due to fees or withdrawals and your Benefit Base is still greater than zero, your Contract will immediately enter the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase. Under the SureIncome Plus Option, we currently do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value. We reserve the right to change this at any time.
Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends and the Contract enters the Payout Phase.
The “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date” is the date the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase is entered and the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends. No further withdrawals, purchase payments or any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase of the Contract can be made after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. Since the Accumulation Phase ends at this point, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit no longer applies.
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Payout Start Date is the first day of the next Benefit Year after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to allow other Payout Start Dates on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice.
During the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, we will make scheduled fixed income payments to the Owner (or new Contract Owner) at the end of each month starting one month after the commencement of the Payout Start Date. The amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 12, unless a payment frequency other than monthly is requested. The request must be in a form acceptable to us and processed by us before the first payment is made. (The amount of each payment will be adjusted accordingly; i.e., if the payment frequency requested is quarterly, the amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 4.) Payments will be made over a period certain such that total payments made will equal the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date; therefore, the final payment may be less than each of the previous payments. If your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), the period certain cannot exceed that which is required by such section and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Therefore, the amount of each payment under the SureIncome Plus Option may be larger so that the sum of the payments made over this period equals the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date. Additionally, if your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we will not permit a change in the payment frequency or level.
If your Contract is not subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we reserve the right to allow other payment frequencies or levels on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice. In no event will we allow more than one change in the payment frequency or level during a Contract Year.
If the Owner dies before all payments have been made, the remaining payments will continue to be made to the new Contract Owner as scheduled.
Once all scheduled payments have been paid, the Contract will terminate.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals, purchase payments or take any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date.
Investment Requirements
If you add a SureIncome Plus Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest. These requirements are described in “Investment Requirements (Applicable to All Withdrawal Benefit Options)” below.
39
Death of Owner or Annuitant
If the Owner or the Annuitant dies and the Contract is continued under Option D of the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of your Contract, then the SureIncome Plus Option will continue unless the Contract Owner (or new Contract Owner) elects to cancel the SureIncome Plus Option. If the SureIncome Plus Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated. If the Contract is not continued under Option D above, then the SureIncome Plus Option will terminate on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds.
If the Contract death settlement options are governed by an Endorsement and such Endorsement allows for the continuation of the Contract upon the death of the Owner or Annuitant by the spouse, the SureIncome Plus Option will continue unless the new Owner elects to cancel the SureIncome Plus Option. If the SureIncome Plus Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated pursuant to Termination of the SureIncome Plus Option below. If the Contract is not continued, then the SureIncome Plus Option will terminate on the date we received a complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds.
The SureIncome Plus Option also makes available the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit. On the Rider Date, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements in the case of Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal. |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements in the case of Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge that may be applicable.
For numerical examples that illustrate how the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit under the SureIncome Plus Option is calculated, see Appendix I.
Refer to the Death Benefits section in this Prospectus for more details on the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit.
Termination of the SureIncome Plus Option
The SureIncome Plus Option will terminate on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | The Benefit Base is reduced to zero; |
• | On the Payout Start Date (except if the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase as defined under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase section); |
• | On the date the Contract is terminated; |
• | On the date the SureIncome Plus Option is cancelled as detailed under Death of Owner or Annuitant above; or |
• | On the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds. |
SUREINCOME FOR LIFE WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTION
We offer the SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option (“SureIncome For Life Option”), except in a limited number of states where it is not currently available, for an additional fee. The SureIncome For Life Option provides a guaranteed withdrawal benefit that gives you the right to take limited partial withdrawals, which may increase during the first 10 years of the Option, as long as the SureIncome Covered Life is alive, subject to certain restrictions. Therefore, regardless of subsequent fluctuations in the value of your Contract Value, you are entitled to a Benefit Payment each Benefit Year until the death of the SureIncome Covered Life (as defined below), subject to certain restrictions. The SureIncome For Life Option also provides an additional death benefit option.
The SureIncome For Life Option guarantees an amount up to the “Benefit Payment Remaining” which will be available for withdrawal from the Contract each “Benefit Year” as long as the SureIncome Covered Life is alive, subject to certain restrictions. The “SureIncome Covered Life” is the oldest Contract Owner, or the oldest Annuitant if the Contact Owner is a non-living entity, on the Rider Date. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero and the Benefit Payment is still greater than zero, we will distribute an amount equal to the Benefit Payment each year to the Contract Owner as described below under the “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase” as long as the SureIncome Covered Life is alive. Prior to the commencement of the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the SureIncome For Life Option also provides an additional death benefit option, the SureIncome Return of Premium Death Benefit (“SureIncome
40
ROP Death Benefit”). This Option is described below under “Death of Owner or Annuitant” and in the Death Benefits section in this Prospectus.
For purposes of the SureIncome For Life Option, “withdrawal” means the gross amount of a withdrawal before any applicable charges such as withdrawal charges, fees, taxes or adjustments including any applicable Market Value Adjustments and surrender charges. Under the SureIncome For Life Option, we do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value.
The “Rider Date” is the date the SureIncome For Life Option was made a part of your Contract. The initial Benefit Year is the period between the Rider Date and the first Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date. Each subsequent Benefit Year is identical to the Contract Year.
The SureIncome For Life Option is available at issue of the Contract, or may be added later, subject to availability and issue requirements. You may not add the SureIncome For Life Option to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the SureIncome For Life Option. Currently, you may have only one Withdrawal Benefit Option in effect on your Contract at one time. You may only have one of the following in effect on your Contract at the same time: a Withdrawal Benefit Option, a TrueReturn Option, or a Retirement Income Guarantee Option. The SureIncome For Life Option is only available if the oldest Contract Owner or the oldest Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is a non-living entity (i.e., the SureIncome Covered Life) is between the ages of 50 and 79, inclusive, on the effective date of the Rider (the “Rider Application Date”). (The maximum age may depend on your state.) The SureIncome For Life Option may not be added to a Contract categorized as a Tax Sheltered Annuity as defined under Code Section 403(b) at this time. We reserve the right to make the SureIncome For Life Option available to such Contracts on a nondiscriminatory basis in the future at our discretion. Once added to your Contract, the SureIncome For Life Option may not be cancelled at any time.
We may discontinue offering the SureIncome For Life Option at any time to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the SureIncome For Life Option prior to the date of discontinuance.
Withdrawal Benefit Factor
The “Withdrawal Benefit Factor” is used to determine the “Benefit Payment” and Benefit Payment Remaining. Prior to the earlier of the date of the first withdrawal after the issuance of the SureIncome For Life Option or the date the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Withdrawal Benefit Factor used in these determinations may change as shown below. Generally speaking, during this period the Withdrawal Benefit Factor will increase as the SureIncome Covered Life grows older. On the earlier of the date of the first withdrawal after the issuance of the SureIncome for Life Option or the date the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Withdrawal Benefit Factor will be fixed at the then applicable rate, based on the then current attained age of the SureIncome Covered Life, and will be used in all subsequent determinations of Benefit Payments and Benefit Payments Remaining. After this date the Withdrawal Benefit Factor will not change.
We currently offer the following Withdrawal Benefit Factors:
Attained Age of SureIncome Covered Life | Withdrawal Benefit Factor |
50 – 59 | 4% |
60 – 69 | 5% |
70 + | 6% |
The Withdrawal Benefit Factors and age ranges applicable to your Contract are set on the Rider Date. They cannot be changed after the SureIncome For Life Option has been added to your Contract. We reserve the right to make other Withdrawal Benefit Factors available in the future for new SureIncome For Life Options, change the age ranges to which they apply, and/or to eliminate currently available Withdrawal Benefit Factors.
Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining
The Benefit Payment is the amount available at the beginning of each Benefit Year that you may withdraw during that Benefit Year. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor and the Benefit Base are used to determine your Benefit Payment. The Benefit Payment Remaining is the amount remaining after any previous withdrawals in a Benefit Year that you may withdraw without reducing your Benefit Base and your SureIncome ROP Death Benefit by more than the amount of the withdrawal and without reducing your Benefit Payment available in future Benefit Years. Please note that any premiums or withdrawals made on a Contract Anniversary are applied to the Benefit Year that just ended on that Contract Anniversary.
The Benefit Payment Remaining is equal to the Benefit Payment at the beginning of each Benefit Year.
On the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment is equal to the Contract Value multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor based on the current attained age of the SureIncome Covered Life.
41
After the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor based on the current attained age of the SureIncome Covered Life. On the date of the first withdrawal after the Rider Date the Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining will equal the Withdrawal Benefit Factor based on the current attained age of the SureIncome Covered Life multiplied by the Benefit Base immediately after application of any purchase payments, but prior to the withdrawal on that date. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor used in all future calculations will not change.
After the first withdrawal, the Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. The Benefit Payment Remaining is reduced by the amount of any withdrawal. The Benefit Payment Remaining will never be less than zero.
After the first withdrawal, the Benefit Payment will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. The Benefit Payment is affected by withdrawals as follows:
• | If a withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment is unchanged. |
• | If a withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment will be the lesser of: |
• | The Benefit Payment immediately prior to the withdrawal; or |
• | The Benefit Base immediately after the withdrawal multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. |
If the Benefit Payment is reduced to zero, the SureIncome For Life Option will terminate.
On each of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date, the amount of the Benefit Payment may be increased based upon the maximum anniversary value of the Contract according to the following calculation. The Benefit Payment will be recalculated to the greater of:
• | The Benefit Payment following application of all purchase payments and withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary; or |
• | The Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary, following the application of all purchase payments, withdrawals and expenses, multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor currently applicable. |
The Benefit Payment Remaining at the time of a withdrawal during a calendar year will be increased on a nondiscriminatory basis in order to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements on the Contract under which this Option has been elected. The Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by the excess of the IRS minimum distribution required on the Contract as calculated at the end of the previous calendar year and the Benefit Payment at the end of the previous calendar year. For the purposes of this calculation, the Benefit Payment Remaining will not be increased if a Withdrawal Benefit Option was not attached to this Contract as of the end of the previous calendar year. Note that any systematic withdrawal programs designed to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements may need to be modified to ensure guarantees under this Option are not impacted by the withdrawals. This modification may result in uneven payment amounts throughout the year.
Benefit Base
The Benefit Base is not available as a Contract Value or Settlement Value. The Benefit Base is used solely to help calculate the Rider Fee, the amount that may be withdrawn and payments that may be received under the SureIncome For Life Option. On the Rider Date, the Benefit Base is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The Benefit Base immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal (this value cannot be less than zero). |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge that may be applicable.
42
On each of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date, the amount of the Benefit Base may be increased based upon the maximum anniversary value of the Contract according to the following calculation. The Benefit Base will be recalculated to the greater of:
• | The Benefit Base following the application of all purchase payments and withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary; and |
• | The Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary, following the application of all purchase payments, withdrawals and expenses. |
For numerical examples that illustrate how the values defined under the SureIncome For Life Option are calculated, see Appendix J.
Contract Value
If your Contract Value is reduced to zero due to fees or withdrawals and your Benefit Payment is still greater than zero, your Contract will immediately enter the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase. Under the SureIncome For Life Option, we currently do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value. We reserve the right to change this at any time.
Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends and the Contract enters the Payout Phase.
The “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date” is the date the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase is entered and the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends. No further withdrawals, purchase payments or any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase of the Contract can be made after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. Since the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends at this point, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit no longer applies.
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Payout Start Date is the first day of the next Benefit Year after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to allow other Payout Start Dates on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice.
During the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, we will make scheduled fixed income payments to the Owner (or new Contract Owner) at the end of each month starting one month after the Payout Start Date. The amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 12, unless a payment frequency other than monthly is requested. The request must be in a form acceptable to us and processed by us before the first payment is made. (The amount of each payment will be adjusted accordingly; i.e. if the payment frequency requested is quarterly, the amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 4.) Payments will be made until the later of the death of the SureIncome Covered Life or over a period certain based on the total payments made equaling at least the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date. If your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), the period certain cannot exceed that which is required by such section and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Therefore, the amount of each payment under the SureIncome For Life Option may be larger during the period certain so that the sum of the payments made over this period equals the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date. Additionally, if your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we will not permit a change in the payment frequency or level.
If your Contract is not subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we reserve the right to allow other payment frequencies or levels on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice. In no event will we allow more than one change in the payment frequency or level during a Contract Year.
If the Owner dies before all payments have been made, the remaining payments will continue to be made to the new Contract Owner as scheduled.
Once all scheduled payments have been paid, the Contract will terminate.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals, purchase payments or take any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase after the commencement of the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date.
Investment Requirements
If you add a SureIncome For Life Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest. These requirements are described in “Investment Requirements (Applicable to All Withdrawal Benefit Options)” below.
Death of Owner or Annuitant
If the SureIncome Covered Life dies during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract, the SureIncome For Life Option will terminate on the date of the SureIncome Covered Life’s death. If the Contract Owner or the Annuitant who is not the SureIncome Covered Life dies and the Contract is continued under Option D of the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of your Contract, then the SureIncome For Life Option will continue unless the Contract Owner (or new Contract Owner) elects to cancel the SureIncome For Life Option. If the SureIncome For Life Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated. If the Contract is not continued under Option D, then the SureIncome For Life Option will terminate on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds.
43
The SureIncome For Life Option also makes available the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit. The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is only available upon the death of the SureIncome Covered Life. If a Contract Owner, Annuitant or Co-Annuitant who is not the SureIncome Covered Life dies, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is not applicable. On the Rider Date, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements in the case of Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal. |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements in the case of Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge applicable.
For numerical examples that illustrate how the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit under the SureIncome For Life Option is calculated, see Appendix J.
Refer to the Death Benefits section in this prospectus for more details on the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit.
Termination of the SureIncome For Life Option
The SureIncome For Life Option will terminate on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | The Benefit Payment is reduced to zero; |
• | On the Payout Start Date (except if the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase as defined under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase section); |
• | On the date the Contract is terminated; |
• | On the date the SureIncome Covered Life is removed from the Contract for any reason, and is no longer a Contract Owner or Annuitant under the Contract (if the Covered Life continues as only the Beneficiary, the Option will terminate); |
• | On the date the SureIncome For Life Option is cancelled as detailed under Death of Owner or Annuitant section above; |
• | On the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds; or |
• | On the date the SureIncome Covered Life dies if the SureIncome Covered Life dies prior to the Payout Start Date. |
INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS (APPLICABLE TO ALL WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTIONS)
If you add a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest. The specific requirements are described below in more detail and will depend on your current Model Portfolio Option and your Withdrawal Benefit Factor(s). These requirements may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain Variable Sub-Accounts or on certain Fixed Account Options, exclusion of certain Variable Sub-Accounts or of certain Fixed Account Options, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts, and restrictions on transfers to or from certain investment alternatives. We may also require that you use the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program. We may change the specific requirements that are applicable at any time in our sole discretion. Any changes we make will not apply to a Withdrawal Benefit Option that was made a part of your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change, except for changes made due to a change in investment alternatives available under the Contract. This restriction does not apply to a New SureIncome Option or to a New Option elected pursuant to the Rider Trade-In Option. We reserve the right to have requirements unique to specific Withdrawal Benefit Factors if we make other Withdrawal Benefit Factors available in the future including specific model portfolio options (“Model Portfolio Options”) as described below available only to certain Withdrawal Benefit Factors.
When you add a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract, you must allocate your entire Contract Value as follows:
1) | to a Model Portfolio Option available as described below; |
2) | to the DCA Fixed Account Option and then transfer all purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and interest to an available Model Portfolio Option; or |
3) | to a combination of (1) and (2) above. |
44
For (2) and (3) above, the requirements for the DCA Fixed Account Option must be met. See the “Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option” section of this prospectus for more information.
On the Rider Date, you must select only one of the Model Portfolio Options to which to allocate your Contract Value. After the Rider Date, you may transfer your entire Contract Value to any of the other available Model Portfolio Options. We currently offer several Model Portfolio Options. The Model Portfolio Options that are available may differ depending upon the effective date of your Withdrawal Benefit Option and your Withdrawal Benefit Factor. Please refer to the Model Portfolio Option and TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options sections of this prospectus for more details. We may add other Model Portfolio Options in the future. We also may remove Model Portfolio Options in the future anytime prior to the date you select such Model Portfolio Option. In addition, if the investment alternatives available under the Contract change, we may revise the Model Portfolio Options. The following table summarizes the Model Portfolio Options currently available for use:
* Model Portfolio Option 1 | |
* TrueBalance Conservative Model Portfolio Option | |
* TrueBalance Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio Option | |
* TrueBalance Moderate Model Portfolio Option | |
* TrueBalance Moderately Aggressive Model Portfolio Option | |
* TrueBalance Aggressive Model Portfolio Option |
Note: The TrueBalance Model Portfolio Options were first made available in connection with a Withdrawal Benefit Option on May 1, 2005. Any TrueBalance model portfolios offered under the TrueBalance Asset Allocation Program prior to May 1, 2005, may not be used in connection with a Withdrawal Benefit Option.
You may not allocate any of your Contract Value to the Standard Fixed Account Option or to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option. You must transfer any portion of your Contract Value that is allocated to the Standard Fixed Account Option or to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to adding a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract. Transfers from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. You may allocate any portion of your purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) to the DCA Fixed Account Option on the Rider Date, provided the DCA Fixed Account Option is available with your Contract and in your state. See the “Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option” section of this prospectus for more information. We use the term “Transfer Period Account” to refer to each purchase payment allocation made to the DCA Fixed Account Option for a specified term length. At the expiration of a Transfer Period Account, any remaining amounts in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your most recent percentage allocation selections for your Model Portfolio Option.
Any subsequent purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made to your Contract will be allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your specific instructions or your allocation for the previous purchase payment (for Model Portfolio Option 1) or the percentage allocation for your current Model Portfolio Option (for TrueBalance Model Portfolio Options) unless you request that the purchase payment (and Credit Enhancement for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) be allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option. Purchase payments allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option must be $100 or more. Any withdrawals you request will reduce your Contract Value invested in each of the investment alternatives on a pro rata basis in the proportion that your Contract Value in each bears to your total Contract Value in all investment alternatives, unless you request otherwise.
Model Portfolio Option 1.
If you choose Model Portfolio Option 1 or transfer your entire Contract Value into Model Portfolio Option 1, we have divided the Variable Sub-Accounts into two separate categories: “Available” and “Excluded.” Currently, you may allocate up to 100% of your Contract Value to the Available Variable Sub-Accounts in any manner you choose. You may not allocate ANY PORTION of your Contract Value to the Excluded Variable Sub-Accounts. You may make transfers among any of the Available Variable Sub-Accounts. However, each transfer you make will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.
Currently the Available Variable Sub-Accounts and the Excluded Variable Sub-Accounts are as follows:

TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options.
If you choose one of the TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options or transfer your entire Contract Value into one of the TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options, you may not choose the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts that comprise that TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. Each TrueBalance Model Portfolio involves an allocation of assets among a group of pre-selected Variable Sub-Accounts. You cannot make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts nor vary the Variable Sub-Accounts that comprise a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. If you choose a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, we will invest and periodically reallocate your Contract Value according to the allocation percentages and requirements for the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option you have selected currently. For more information regarding the TrueBalance program, see the “TrueBalanceSM Asset Allocation Program” section of this prospectus. However, note that the restrictions described in this section, specifically the restrictions on transfers and the requirement that all of your Contract Value be allocated to a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, apply to the TrueBalance program only if you have added a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract.
Investment Alternatives: The Variable Sub-Accounts
You may allocate your purchase payments to various Variable Sub-Accounts. Each Variable Sub-Account invests in the shares of a corresponding Portfolio. Each Portfolio has its own investment objective(s) and policies. We briefly describe the Portfolios below.
For more complete information about each Portfolio, including expenses and risks associated with each Portfolio, please refer to the prospectuses for the Funds. We will mail to you a prospectus for each Portfolio related to the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you allocate your purchase payment.
The Variable Sub-Accounts that you select are your choice - we do not provide investment advice, nor do we recommend any particular Variable Sub-Account. Please consult with a qualified investment professional if you wish to obtain investment advice.
You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the investment alternatives when making an allocation to the Variable Sub-Accounts. To obtain any or all of the underlying Fund prospectuses, please contact us at 1-800-457-7617 or go to www.accessallstate.com.

Amounts you allocate to Variable Sub-Accounts may grow in value, decline in value, or grow less than you expect, depending on the investment performance of the Portfolios in which those Variable Sub-Accounts invest. You bear the investment risk that the Portfolios might not meet their investment objectives. Shares of the Portfolios are not deposits in, or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency.
Variable insurance portfolios might not be managed by the same portfolio managers who manage retail mutual funds with similar names. These portfolios are likely to differ from similarly named retail mutual funds in assets, cash flow, and tax matters. Accordingly, the holdings and investment results of a variable insurance portfolio can be expected to be higher or lower than the investment results of a similarly named retail mutual fund.
TRUEBALANCESM ASSET ALLOCATION PROGRAM
The TrueBalance asset allocation program (“TrueBalance program”) is no longer offered for new enrollments. If you enrolled in the TrueBalance program prior to January 31, 2008, you may remain in the program. If you terminate your enrollment or otherwise transfer your Contract Value out of the program, you may not re-enroll.
There is no additional charge for the TrueBalance program. Participation in the TrueBalance program may be limited if you have elected certain Contract Options that impose restrictions on the investment alternatives which you may invest, such as the Income Protection Benefit Option, the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option. See the sections of this prospectus discussing these Options for more information.
Asset allocation is the process by which your Contract Value is invested in different asset classes in a way that matches your risk tolerance, time horizon, and investment goals. Theoretically, different asset classes tend to behave differently under various economic and market conditions. By spreading your Contract Value across a range of asset classes, you may, over time, be able to reduce the risk of investment volatility and potentially enhance returns. Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
Your sales representative helps you determine whether participating in an asset allocation program is appropriate for you. You complete a questionnaire to identify your investment style. Based on your investment style, you select one asset allocation model portfolio among the available model portfolios which may range from conservative to aggressive. Your Contract Value is allocated among the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your selected model portfolio. Not all Variable Sub-Accounts are available in any one model portfolio, and you must only allocate your Contract Value to the limited number of Variable Sub-Accounts available in the model portfolio you select. You should not select a model portfolio without first consulting with your sales representative.
Allstate Life and the principal underwriter of the Contracts, Allstate Distributors, L.L.C. (“Allstate Distributors”), do not intend to provide any personalized investment advice in connection with the TrueBalance program and you should not rely on this program as providing individualized investment recommendations to you.
Allstate Life retained an independent investment management firm (“investment management firm”) to construct the TrueBalance model portfolios. The investment management firm does not provide advice to Allstate Life’s Contract Owners. Neither Allstate Life nor the investment management firm is acting for any Contract Owner as a “fiduciary” or as an “investment manager,” as such terms are defined under applicable laws and regulations relating to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The investment management firm does not take into account any information about any Contract Owner or any Contract Owner’s assets when creating, providing or maintaining any TrueBalance model portfolio. Individual Contract Owners should ultimately rely on their own judgment and/or the judgment of a financial advisor in making their investment decisions. Neither Allstate Life nor the investment management firm is responsible for determining the suitability of the TrueBalance model portfolios for the Contract Owners’ purposes.
Each of the five model portfolios specifies an allocation among a mix of Variable Sub-Accounts that is designed to meet the investment goals of the applicable investment style. On the business day we approve your participation in the TrueBalance program, we automatically reallocate any existing Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts according to the model portfolio you selected. If any portion of your existing Contract Value is allocated to the Standard Fixed Account or MVA Fixed Account Options and you wish to allocate any portion of it to the model portfolio, you must transfer that portion to the Variable Sub-Accounts. In addition, as long as you participate in the TrueBalance program, you must allocate all of your purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) to the Fixed Account Options and/or the Variable Sub-Accounts currently offered in your model portfolio. Any purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) you allocate to the DCA Fixed Account Option will be automatically transferred, along with interest, in equal monthly installments to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to the model portfolio you selected.
We use the term “Transfer Period Account” to refer to each purchase payment allocation made to the DCA Fixed Account Option for a specified term length. For TrueBalance model portfolios selected on or after May 1, 2005, at the expiration of a Transfer Period Account any remaining amounts in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred to the Variable Sub-Account according to the percentage allocation for the model portfolio you selected.
51
Allstate Life may offer new or revised TrueBalance model portfolios at any time, and may retain a different investment management firm to create any such new or revised TrueBalance model portfolios. Allstate Life will not automatically reallocate your Contract Value allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts to match any new or revised model portfolios that are offered. If you are invested in the TrueBalance model portfolio, your financial advisor will notify you of any new or revised TrueBalance model portfolios that may be available. If you wish to invest in accordance with a new or revised TrueBalance model portfolio, you must submit a transfer request to transfer your Contract Value in your existing TrueBalance model portfolio in accordance with the new TrueBalance model portfolio. If you do not request a transfer to a new TrueBalance model portfolio, we will continue to rebalance your Contract Value in accordance with your existing TrueBalance model portfolio. At any given time, you may only elect a TrueBalance model portfolio that is available at the time of election.
You may select only one model portfolio at a time. However, you may change your selection of model portfolio at any time, provided you select a currently available model portfolio. Each change you make in your model portfolio selection will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee. You should consult with your sales representative before making a change to your model portfolio selection to determine whether the new model portfolio is appropriate for your needs.
Since the performance of each Variable Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage allocated to each Variable Sub-Account, at least once every calendar quarter we will automatically rebalance all of your Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your currently selected model portfolio.
Unless you notify us otherwise, any purchase payments you make after electing the TrueBalance program will be allocated to your model portfolio and/or to the Fixed Account Options according to your most recent instructions on file with us. Once you elect to participate in the TrueBalance program, you may allocate subsequent purchase payments to any of the Fixed Account Options available with your Contract and/or to any of the Variable Sub-Accounts included in your model portfolio, but only according to the allocation specifications of that model portfolio. You may not allocate subsequent purchase payments to a Variable Sub-Account that is not included in your model portfolio. Subsequent purchase payments allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the end of the next calendar quarter according to the allocation percentages for your currently selected model portfolio.
The following applies to TrueBalance model portfolios selected prior to May 1, 2005. TrueBalance model portfolios selected prior to May 1, 2005, are not available with the TrueReturn Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option:
For TrueBalance model portfolios selected prior to May 1, 2005, you may make transfers to any of the available investment alternatives, except the DCA Fixed Account Option. However, all of your Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the end of the next calendar quarter according to the percentage allocations for your currently selected model portfolio. Transfers to investment alternatives that are not included in the model portfolio you selected may be inconsistent with the investment style you selected and with the purpose of the TrueBalance program. You should consult with your sales representative before making transfers outside the model portfolio allocations.
The following applies to TrueBalance model portfolios selected on or after May 1, 2005, with the TrueReturn Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option:
For TrueBalance model portfolios selected on or after May 1, 2005, with the TrueReturn Option or SureIncome Option, you must allocate all of your Contract Value to a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, and you may not choose the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts in the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. If you choose a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, we will invest and periodically reallocate your Contract Value according to the allocation percentages and requirements for the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option you selected. You may, however, elect to reallocate your entire Contract Value from one Model Portfolio Option to another Model Portfolio Option available with your Option.
If you own the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option, on the Rider Maturity Date the Contract Value may be increased due to the Option. Any increase will be allocated to the Putnam VT Government Money Market. You may make transfers from this Variable Sub-Account to the Fixed Account Options (as allowed) or the Variable Sub-Accounts included in your model portfolio, but only according to the allocation specification of that model portfolio. All of your Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the next calendar quarter according to the allocation percentages for your currently selected model portfolio.
The following applies to TrueBalance model portfolios selected on or after May 1, 2005, without the TrueReturn Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option:
For TrueBalance model portfolios selected on or after May 1, 2005, without the TrueReturn or SureIncome Option, you may not make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to any of the other Variable Sub-Accounts. You may make transfers, as allowed under the contract, from the Fixed Account Options to other Fixed Account Options or to the Variable Sub-Accounts included in your model portfolio, but only according to the allocation specifications of that model portfolio. You may make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to any of the Fixed Account Options, except the DCA Fixed Account Option. Transfers to Fixed Account Options may be inconsistent with the investment style you selected and with the purpose of the TrueBalance program. However, all of your Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the next calendar quarter according to the percentage allocations for your currently selected model portfolio. You should consult with your sales representative before making transfers.
52
If you make a partial withdrawal from any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your remaining Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the end of the next calendar quarter according to the percentage allocations for your currently selected model portfolio allocations. If you are participating in the Systematic Withdrawal Program when you add the TrueBalance program or change your selection of model portfolios, you may need to update your withdrawal instructions. If you have any questions, please consult your sales representative.
Your participation in the TrueBalance program is subject to the program’s terms and conditions, and you may change model portfolios or terminate your participation in the TrueBalance program at any time by notifying us in a form satisfactory to us. We reserve the right to modify or terminate the TrueBalance program at any time.
Investment Alternatives: The Fixed Account Options
You may allocate all or a portion of your purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) to the Fixed Account Options. The Fixed Account Options we offer include the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option, the Standard Fixed Account Option, and the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option. We may offer additional Fixed Account Options in the future. Some Options are not available in all states. In addition, Allstate Life may limit the availability of some Fixed Account Options. Please consult with your representative for current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the Fixed Account.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
The Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option (“DCA Fixed Account Option”) is one of the investment alternatives that you can use to establish a Dollar Cost Averaging Program. See the "Investment Alternatives: Transfers - Dollar Cost Averaging" section.
This option allows you to allocate purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) to the Fixed Account that will then automatically be transferred, along with interest, in equal monthly installments to the investment alternatives that you have selected. In the future, we may offer other installment frequencies in our discretion. Each purchase payment allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option must be at least $100.
At the time you allocate a purchase payment to the DCA Fixed Account Option, you must specify the term length over which the transfers are to take place. We use the term “Transfer Period Account” to refer to each purchase payment allocation made to the DCA Fixed Account Option for a specified term length. You establish a new Transfer Period Account each time you allocate a purchase payment to the DCA Fixed Account Option. We currently offer term lengths from which you may select for your Transfer Period Account(s), ranging from 3 to 12 months. We may modify or eliminate the term lengths we offer in the future. Refer to Appendix A for more information.
Your purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) will earn interest while in the DCA Fixed Account Option at the interest rate in effect at the time of the allocation, depending on the term length chosen for the Transfer Period Account and the type of Contract you have. The interest rates may also differ from those available for other Fixed Account Options. The minimum interest rate associated with the DCA Fixed Account Option is based upon state requirements and the date an application to purchase a Contract is signed. This minimum interest rate will not change after Contract issue.
You must transfer all of your money, plus accumulated interest, out of a Transfer Period Account to other investment alternatives in equal monthly installments during the term of the Transfer Period Account. We reserve the right to restrict the investment alternatives available for transfers from any Transfer Period Account. You may not transfer money from the Transfer Period Accounts to any of the Fixed Account Options available under your Contract. The first transfer will occur on the next Valuation Date after you establish a Transfer Period Account. If we do not receive an allocation instruction from you when we receive the purchase payment, we will transfer each installment to the Putnam VT Government Money Market Variable Sub-Account until we receive a different allocation instruction. At the expiration of a Transfer Period Account any remaining amounts in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred to the Putnam VT Government Money Market Variable Sub-Account unless you request a different investment alternative. Transferring Contract Value to the Putnam VT Government Money Market Variable Sub- Account in this manner may not be consistent with the theory of dollar cost averaging. See the "Investment Alternatives: Transfers- Dollar Cost Averaging Program" section.
If you discontinue the DCA Fixed Account Option before the expiration of a Transfer Period Account, we will transfer any remaining amount in the Transfer Period Account to the Putnam VT Government Money Market Variable Sub-Account unless you request a different investment alternative.
If you have a TrueReturn Option or Withdrawal Benefit Option, at the expiration of a Transfer Period Account or if you discontinue the DCA Fixed Account Option any amounts remaining in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred according to the investment requirements applicable to the Option you selected.
53
You may not transfer money into the DCA Fixed Account Option or add to an existing Transfer Period Account. You may not use the Automatic Additions Program to allocate purchase payments to the DCA Fixed Account Option.
The DCA Fixed Account Option currently is not available if you have selected the Allstate Advisor Preferred Contract with No Withdrawal Charge Option.
The DCA Fixed Account Option may not be available in your state. Please check with your representative for availability.
STANDARD FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
You may allocate purchase payments or transfer amounts into the Standard Fixed Account Option. Each such allocation establishes a “Guarantee Period Account” within the Standard Fixed Account Option (“Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account”), which is defined by the date of the allocation and the length of the initial interest rate guarantee period (“Standard Fixed Guarantee Period”). You may not allocate a purchase payment or transfer to any existing Guarantee Period Account. Each purchase payment or transfer allocated to a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account must be at least $100.
At the time you allocate a purchase payment or transfer amount to the Standard Fixed Account Option, you must select the Guarantee Period for that allocation from among the available Standard Fixed Guarantee Periods. For Allstate Advisor Contracts, we currently offer Standard Fixed Guarantee Periods of 1, 3, 5 and 7 years in length. For Allstate Advisor Plus and Allstate Advisor Preferred Contracts, we currently are not offering the Standard Fixed Account Option. Refer to Appendix A for more information. We may offer other Guarantee Periods in the future. If you allocate a purchase payment to the Standard Fixed Account Option, but do not select a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period for the new Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account, we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the same Standard Fixed Guarantee Period as the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account of your most recent purchase payment or transfer. If we no longer offer that Standard Fixed Guarantee Period, then we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the next shortest term currently offered. If you have not made a prior allocation to a Guarantee Period Account, then we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account of the shortest Standard Fixed Guarantee Period we are offering at that time.
Some Standard Fixed Guarantee Periods are not available in all states. Please check with your representative for availability.
The amount you allocate to a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account will earn interest at the interest rate in effect for that Standard Fixed Guarantee Period at the time of the allocation. Interest rates may differ depending on the type of Contract you have and may also differ from those available for other Fixed Account Options. The minimum interest rate associated with the Standard Fixed Account Option is based upon state requirements and the date an application to purchase a Contract is signed. This minimum interest rate will not change after Contract issue.
In any Contract Year, the combined amount of withdrawals and transfers from a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account may not exceed 30% of the amount used to establish that Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account. This limitation is waived if you withdraw your entire Contract Value. It is also waived for amounts in a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account during the 30 days following its renewal date (“30-Day Window”), described below, and for a single withdrawal made by your surviving spouse within one year of continuing the Contract after your death.
Amounts under the 30% limit that are not withdrawn in a Contract Year do not carry over to subsequent Contract Years.
At the end of a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period and each year thereafter, we will declare a renewal interest rate that will be guaranteed for 1 year. Subsequent renewal dates will be on the anniversaries of the first renewal date. Prior to a renewal date, we will send you a notice that will outline the options available to you. During the 30-Day Window following the expiration of a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the 30% limit for transfers and withdrawals from that Guarantee Period Account is waived and you may elect to:
• | transfer all or part of the money from the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account to establish a new Guarantee Period Account within the Standard Fixed Account Option or the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option, if available; or |
• | transfer all or part of the money from the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account to other investment alternatives available at the time; or |
• | withdraw all or part of the money from the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account. Withdrawal charges and taxes may apply. |
Withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules will count against the 30% limit. The 30% limit will be waived for a Contract Year to the extent that:
• | you have already exceeded the 30% limit and you must still make a withdrawal during that Contract Year to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules; or |
• | you have not yet exceeded the 30% limit but you must make a withdrawal during that Contract Year to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules, and such withdrawal will put you over the 30% limit. |
54
The money in the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account will earn interest at the declared renewal rate from the renewal date until the date we receive notification of your election. If we receive notification of your election to make a transfer or withdrawal from a renewing Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account on or before the renewal date, the transfer or withdrawal will be deemed to have occurred on the renewal date. If we receive notification of your election to make a transfer or withdrawal from the renewing Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account after the renewal date, but before the expiration of the 30-Day Window, the transfer or withdrawal will be deemed to have occurred on the day we receive such notice. Any remaining balance not withdrawn or transferred from the renewing Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account will continue to earn interest until the next renewal date at the declared renewal rate. If we do not receive notification from you within the 30-Day Window, we will assume that you have elected to renew the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account and the amount in the renewing Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account will continue to earn interest at the declared renewal rate until the next renewal date, and will be subject to all restrictions of the Standard Fixed Account Option.
The Standard Fixed Account Option currently is not available with Allstate Advisor Plus and Allstate Advisor Preferred Contracts.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTED FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
You may allocate purchase payments or transfer amounts into the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option. Each such allocation establishes a Guarantee Period Account within the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option (“Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account”), which is defined by the date of the allocation and the length of the initial interest rate guarantee period (“Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period”). You may not allocate a purchase payment or transfer to any existing Guarantee Period Account. Each purchase payment or transfer allocated to a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account must be at least $100.
At the time you allocate a purchase payment or transfer amount to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option, you must select the Guarantee Period for that allocation from among the Guarantee Periods available for the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option (“Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Periods”). We currently offer Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Periods of 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. Refer to Appendix A for more information. We may offer other Guarantee Periods in the future. If you allocate a purchase payment to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option, but do not select a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period for the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the same Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period as the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account of your most recent purchase payment or transfer. If we no longer offer that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, then we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the next shortest term currently offered. If you have not made a prior allocation to a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, then we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account of the shortest Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period we are offering at that time. The Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option is not available in all states. Please check with your sales representative for availability.
The amount you allocate to a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will earn interest at the interest rate in effect for that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period at the time of the allocation. Interest rates may differ depending on the type of Contract you have and may also differ from those available for other Fixed Account Options.
Withdrawals and transfers from a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment may also apply to amounts in the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option if we pay Death Proceeds or if the Payout Start Date begins on a day other than during the 30-day period after such Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account expires (“30-Day MVA Window”). We will not make a Market Value Adjustment if you make a transfer or withdrawal during the 30-Day MVA Window.
We apply a Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from the time you first allocate money to a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to the time the money is taken out of that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account under the circumstances described above. We use the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15 (“Treasury Rate”) to calculate the Market Value Adjustment. We do so by comparing the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period at the time the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account is established with the Treasury Rate for the same maturity at the time the money is taken from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates. If interest rates have increased since the establishment of a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the Market Value Adjustment, together with any applicable withdrawal charges, premium taxes, and income tax withholdings could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal from a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to an amount less than the purchase payment used to establish that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account.
55
Generally, if at the time you establish a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable Treasury Rate at the time money is to be taken from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the Market Value Adjustment will be positive. Conversely, if at the time you establish a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the applicable Treasury Rate is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate at the time the money is to be taken from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the Market Value Adjustment will be negative.
For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and allocate part of the initial purchase payment (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option to establish a 5-year Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account. Assume that the 5-year Treasury Rate at that time is 4.50%. Next, assume that at the end of the 3rd year, you withdraw money from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account. If, at that time, the 5-year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be positive. Conversely, if the 5-year Treasury Rate at that time is 4.80%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative.
The formula used to calculate the Market Value Adjustment and numerical examples illustrating its application are shown in Appendix B of this prospectus.
At the end of a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account expires and we will automatically transfer the money from such Guarantee Period Account to establish a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the same Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, unless you notify us otherwise. The new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will be established as of the day immediately following the expiration date of the expiring Market Value Adjusted Guarantee Period Account (“New Account Start Date.”) If the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period is no longer being offered, we will establish a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the next shortest Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period available. Prior to the expiration date, we will send you a notice, which will outline the options available to you. During the 30-Day MVA Window a Market Value Adjustment will not be applied to transfers and withdrawals from the expiring Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account and you may elect to:
• | transfer all or part of the money from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to establish a new Guarantee Period Account within the Standard Fixed Account Option or the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option, if available; or |
• | transfer all or part of the money from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to other investment alternatives available at the time; or |
• | withdraw all or part of the money from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account. Withdrawal charges and taxes may apply. |
The money in the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will earn interest at the interest rate declared for the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account from the New Account Start Date until the date we receive notification of your election. If we receive notification of your election to make a transfer or withdrawal from an expiring Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account on or before the New Account Start Date, the transfer or withdrawal will be deemed to have occurred on the New Account Start Date. If we receive notification of your election to make a transfer or withdrawal from the expiring Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account after the New Account Start Date, but before the expiration of the 30-Day MVA Window, the transfer or withdrawal will be deemed to have occurred on the day we receive such notice. Any remaining balance not withdrawn or transferred will earn interest for the term of the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, at the interest rate declared for such Account. If we do not receive notification from you within the 30-Day Window, we will assume that you have elected to transfer the amount in the expiring Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to establish a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the same Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, and the amount in the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will continue to earn interest at the interest rate declared for the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, and will be subject to all restrictions of the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option. If we no longer offer that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period for the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will be the next shortest term length we offer for the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option at that time, and the interest rate will be the rate declared by us at that time for such term.
Investment Alternatives: Transfers
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the investment alternatives. You may not transfer Contract Value to the DCA Fixed Account Option or add to an existing Transfer Period Account. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we provided or by telephone according to the procedure described below.
You may make up to 12 transfers per Contract Year without charge. A transfer fee equal to 1.00% of the amount transferred applies to each transfer after the 12th transfer in any Contract Year. This fee may be changed, but in no event will it exceed 2.00% of the amount
56
transferred. Multiple transfers on a single Valuation Date are considered a single transfer for purposes of assessing the transfer fee. If you added the TrueReturn Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract, certain restrictions on transfers apply. See the “TrueReturnSM Accumulation Benefit Option” and “Withdrawal Benefit Options” sections of this prospectus for more information.
The minimum amount that you may transfer from the Standard Fixed Account Option, Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option or a Variable Sub-Account is $100 or the total remaining balance in the Standard Fixed Account Option, Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option or the Variable Sub-Account, if less. These limitations do not apply to the DCA Fixed Account Option. The total amount that you may transfer or withdraw from a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account in a Contract Year is 30% of the amount used to establish that Guarantee Period Account. See “Standard Fixed Account Option”. The minimum amount that can be transferred to the Standard Fixed Account Option and the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option is $100.
We will process transfer requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for that Date. We will process requests completed after 3:00 p.m. on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract permits us to defer transfers from the Fixed Account Options for up to 6 months from the date we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers from any Fixed Account Option for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by applicable law. Any interest would be payable from the date we receive the transfer request to the date we make the transfer.
We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.
TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE
During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts so as to change the relative weighting of the Variable Sub-Accounts on which your variable income payments will be based. You may make up to 12 transfers per Contract Year within each Income Plan. You may not convert any portion of your fixed income payments into variable income payments. You may not make transfers among Income Plans. You may make transfers from the variable income payments to the fixed income payments to increase the proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments, unless you have selected the Income Protection Benefit Option.
TELEPHONE OR ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS
You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-457-7617. The cut-off time for telephone transfer requests is 3:00 p.m. Central Time. In the event that the New York Stock Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in the event that the Exchange closes early for a period of time but then reopens for trading on the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of the close of the Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone requests received from you at any telephone number other than the number that appears in this paragraph or received after the close of trading on the Exchange. If you own the Contract with a joint Contract Owner, unless we receive contrary instructions, we will accept instructions from either you or the other Contract Owner.
We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege, as well as any other electronic or automated means we previously approved, at any time without notice.
We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may be liable for such losses.
MARKET TIMING & EXCESSIVE TRADING
The Contracts are intended for long-term investment. Market timing and excessive trading can potentially dilute the value of Variable Sub-Accounts and can disrupt management of a Portfolio and raise its expenses, which can impair Portfolio performance and adversely affect your Contract Value. Our policy is not to accept knowingly any money intended for the purpose of market timing or excessive trading. Accordingly, you should not invest in the Contract if your purpose is to engage in market timing or excessive trading, and you should refrain from such practices if you currently own a Contract.
We seek to detect market timing or excessive trading activity by reviewing trading activities. Portfolios also may report suspected market-timing or excessive trading activity to us. If, in our judgment, we determine that the transfers are part of a market timing strategy or are otherwise harmful to the underlying Portfolio, we will impose the trading limitations as described below under “Trading Limitations.” Because there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will use our reasonable judgment based on all of the circumstances.
While we seek to deter market timing and excessive trading in Variable Sub-Accounts, because our procedures involve the exercise of reasonable judgment, we may not identify or prevent some market timing or excessive trading. Moreover, imposition of trading limitations is triggered by the detection of market timing or excessive trading activity, and the trading limitations are not applied prior to detection of such trading activity. Therefore, our policies and procedures do not prevent such trading activity before it is detected.
57
As a result, some investors may be able to engage in market timing and excessive trading, while others are prohibited, and the Portfolio may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.
TRADING LIMITATIONS
We reserve the right to limit transfers among the investment alternatives in any Contract year, require that all future transfer requests be submitted through U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail thereby refusing to accept transfer requests via telephone, facsimile, Internet, or overnight delivery, or to refuse any transfer request, if:
• | we believe, in our sole discretion, that certain trading practices, such as excessive trading, by, or on behalf of, one or more Contract Owners, or a specific transfer request or group of transfer requests, may have a detrimental effect on the Accumulation Unit Values of any Variable Sub-Account or on the share prices of the corresponding Portfolio or otherwise would be to the disadvantage of other Contract Owners; or |
• | we are informed by one or more of the Portfolios that they intend to restrict the purchase, exchange, or redemption of Portfolio shares because of excessive trading or because they believe that a specific transfer or group of transfers would have a detrimental effect on the prices of Portfolio shares. |
In making the determination that trading activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will consider, among other things:
• | the total dollar amount being transferred, both in the aggregate and in the transfer request; |
• | the number of transfers you make over a period of time and/or the period of time between transfers (note: one set of transfers to and from a Variable Sub-Account in a short period of time can constitute market timing); |
• | whether your transfers follow a pattern that appears designed to take advantage of short term market fluctuations, particularly within certain Variable Sub-Account underlying Portfolios that we have identified as being susceptible to market timing activities (e.g., International, High Yield, and Small Cap Variable Sub-Accounts); |
• | whether the manager of the underlying Portfolio has indicated that the transfers interfere with Portfolio management or otherwise adversely impact the Portfolio; and |
• | the investment objectives and/or size of the Variable Sub-Account underlying Portfolio. |
We seek to apply these trading limitations uniformly. However, because these determinations involve the exercise of discretion, it is possible that we may not detect some market timing or excessive trading activity. As a result, it is possible that some investors may be able to engage in market timing or excessive trading activity, while others are prohibited, and the Portfolio may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.
If we determine that a Contract Owner has engaged in market timing or excessive trading activity, we will require that all future transfer requests be submitted through U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail thereby refusing to accept transfer requests via telephone, facsimile, Internet, or overnight delivery. If we determine that a Contract Owner continues to engage in a pattern of market timing or excessive trading activity we will restrict that Contract Owner from making future additions or transfers into the impacted Variable Sub-Account(s) or will restrict that Contract Owner from making future additions or transfers into the class of Variable Sub-Account(s) if the Variable Sub-Accounts(s) involved are vulnerable to arbitrage market timing trading activity (e.g., International, High Yield, and Small Cap Variable Sub-Accounts).
In our sole discretion, we may revise our Trading Limitations at any time as necessary to better deter or minimize market timing and excessive trading or to comply with regulatory requirements.
SHORT TERM TRADING FEES
The underlying Portfolios are authorized by SEC regulation to adopt and impose redemption fees if a Portfolio’s Board of Directors determines that such fees are necessary to minimize or eliminate short-term transfer activity that can reduce or dilute the value of outstanding shares issued by the Portfolio. The Portfolio will set the parameters relating to the redemption fee and such parameters may vary by Portfolio. If a Portfolio elects to adopt and charge redemption fees, these fees will be passed on to the Contract Owner(s) responsible for the short-term transfer activity generating the fee.
We will administer and collect redemption fees in connection with transfers between the Variable Sub-Accounts and forward these fees to the Portfolio. Please consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for more complete information regarding the fees and charges associated with each Portfolio.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically transfer a fixed dollar amount on a regular basis from any Variable Sub-Account or any Fixed Account Option to any of the other Variable Sub-Accounts. You may not use the Dollar Cost Averaging Program to transfer amounts to the Fixed Account Options. This program is available only during the Accumulation Phase.
58
We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor will such transfers count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.
The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However, participation in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in a declining market. Call or write us for instructions on how to enroll.
AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM
Once you have allocated your money among the Variable Sub-Accounts, the performance of each Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage you allocated to each Sub-Account. If you select our Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations. Money you allocate to the Fixed Account will not be included in the rebalancing.
We will rebalance your account quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. We will measure these periods according to your instructions. We will transfer amounts among the Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage allocations you specify. You can change your allocations at any time by contacting us in writing or by telephone. The new allocation will be effective with the first rebalancing that occurs after we receive your written or telephone request. We are not responsible for rebalancing that occurs prior to receipt of proper notice of your request.
Example:
Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among 2 Variable Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the Putnam VT Income – Class IB Sub-Account and 60% to be in the Oppenheimer Discovery Mid Cap Growth/VA – Service Class Sub-Account. Over the next 2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Putnam VT Income – Class IB Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of its increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings in a Contract or Contracts rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter we would sell some of your units in the Putnam VT Income – Class IB Sub-Account for the appropriate Contract(s) and use the money to buy more units in the Oppenheimer Discovery Mid Cap Growth/VA – Service Class Sub-Account so that the percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60%, respectively.
The transfers made under the program do not count towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject to a transfer fee.
Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts that performed better during the previous time period.
Expenses
As a Contract Owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and expenses described below.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
During the Accumulation Phase, on each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a $30 contract maintenance charge from your assets invested in the Putnam VT Government Money Market Variable Sub-Account. If there are insufficient assets in that Variable Sub-Account, we will deduct the balance of the charge proportionally from the other Variable Sub-Accounts. We also will deduct this charge if you withdraw your entire Contract Value, unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver. During the Payout Phase, we will deduct the charge proportionately from each income payment.
The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and the Variable Account. Maintenance costs include expenses we incur in billing and collecting purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals, and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and income payments; and issuing reports to Contract Owners and regulatory agencies. We cannot increase the charge. We will waive this charge:
• | for the remaining term of the Contract once your total purchase payments to the Contract equal $50,000 or more; or |
• | for a Contract Anniversary if, on that date, your entire Contract Value is allocated to the Fixed Account Options, or after the Payout Start Date, if all income payments are fixed income payments. |
We also reserve the right to waive this charge if you own more than one Contract and the Contracts meet certain minimum dollar amount requirements. In addition, we reserve the right to waive this charge for all Contracts.
59
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
We deduct an administrative expense charge daily at an annual rate of 0.19% of the daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We intend this charge to cover actual administrative expenses that exceed the revenues from the contract maintenance charge. There is no necessary relationship between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributed to that Contract. We assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase. We may increase this charge for Contracts issued in the future, but in no event will it exceed 0.35%. We guarantee that after your Contract is issued we will not increase this charge for your Contract.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily from the net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We assess mortality and expense risk charges during the Accumulation and Payout Phases of the Contract, except as noted below. The annual mortality and expense risk charge for the Contracts without any optional benefit are as follows:
Allstate Advisor | 1.10% |
Allstate Advisor Plus | 1.40% |
Allstate Advisor Preferred (5-year withdrawal charge option) | 1.40% |
Allstate Advisor Preferred (3-year withdrawal charge option) | 1.50% |
Allstate Advisor Preferred (No withdrawal charge option) | 1.60% |
The mortality and expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that the current charges will not be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contract. The mortality and expense risk charge also helps pay for the cost of the Credit Enhancement under the Allstate Advisor Plus Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the optional benefits to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by providing these options.
You will pay additional mortality and expense risk charges if you add any optional benefits to your Contract. The additional mortality and expense risk charge you pay will depend upon which of the options you select:
• | MAV Death Benefit Option: The current mortality and expense risk charge for this option is 0.20%. For Contract Owners who added the MAV Death Benefit Option prior to May 1, 2003, the mortality and expense risk charge is 0.15%. This charge may be increased, but will never exceed 0.30%. We guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge for this option after you have added it to your Contract. We deduct the charge for this option only during the Accumulation Phase. |
• | Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option: The current mortality and expense risk charge for this option is 0.30%. For Contract Owners who added the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option prior to May 1, 2003, the mortality and expense risk charge is 0.15%. This charge will never exceed 0.30%. We guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge for this option after you have added it to your Contract. We deduct the charge for this option only during the Accumulation Phase. |
• | Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option: The current mortality and expense risk charge for this option is: |
• | 0.25% (maximum of 0.35%) if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 70 or younger on the Rider Application Date; |
• | 0.40% (maximum of 0.50%) if the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant is age 71 or older and both are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. |
The charges may be increased but they will never exceed the maximum charges shown above. We guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge for this option after you have added it to your Contract. However, if your spouse elects to continue the Contract in the event of your death and if he or she elects to continue the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the charge will be based on the ages of the oldest new Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant at the time the Contract is continued. Refer to the Death Benefit Payments provision in this prospectus for more information. We deduct the charge for this option only during the Accumulation Phase.
• | Income Protection Benefit Option: The current mortality and expense risk charge for this option is 0.75%. We guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge for this option after you have added it to your Contract. The charge will be deducted only during the Payout Phase. |

TRUERETURNSM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT OPTION FEE
We charge a separate annual Rider Fee for the TrueReturn Option. The current annual Rider Fee is 0.50% of the Benefit Base. We deduct the Rider Fee on each Contract Anniversary during the Rider Period or until you terminate the Option, if earlier. We reserve the right to increase the Rider Fee to up to 1.25%. We currently charge the same Rider Fee regardless of the Rider Period and Guarantee Option you select; however, we reserve the right to charge different fees for different Rider Periods and Guarantee Options in the future. However, once we issue your Option, we cannot change the Rider Fee that applies to your Contract. If you elect to exercise the Rider Trade-In Option, the new Rider Fee will be based on the Rider Fee percentage applicable to a new TrueReturn Option at the time of trade-in.
The Rider Fee is deducted only from the Variable Sub-Account(s) on a pro rata basis in the proportion that your value in each Variable Sub-Account bears to your total value in all Variable Sub-Accounts. Rider Fees will decrease the number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Sub-Account. If you terminate this Option prior to the Rider Maturity Date on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will deduct an entire Rider Fee from your Contract Value on the date the Option is terminated. However, if the Option is terminated due to death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant, we will not charge a Rider Fee unless the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds is also a Contract Anniversary. If the Option is terminated on the Payout Start Date, we will not charge a Rider Fee unless the Payout Start Date is also a Contract Anniversary. Additionally, if you elect to exercise the Rider Trade-In Option and cancel the Option on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will not deduct a Rider Fee on the date the Option is terminated. Refer to the “TrueReturnSM Accumulation Benefit Option” section of this prospectus for more information.
SPOUSAL PROTECTION BENEFIT (CO- ANNUITANT) OPTION FEE AND SPOUSAL PROTECTION BENEFIT (CO-ANNUITANT) OPTION FOR CUSTODIAL INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS FEE
We charge a separate annual Rider Fee for both the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option and Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts. The current annual Rider Fee is 0.10% of the Contract Value for either Option. This applies to all new Options added on or after January 1, 2005. For Options added prior to January 1, 2005, there is no charge associated with the Options. We deduct the Rider Fee on each Contract Anniversary up to and including the date you terminate the Option. We reserve the right to increase the annual Rider Fee to up to 0.15% of the Contract Value. We reserve the right to charge different Rider Fees for new Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Options and/ or new Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Options for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts we offer in the future. Once we issue your Option, we cannot change the Rider Fee that applies to your Contract.
The Rider Fee is deducted only from the Variable Sub-Account(s) on a pro-rata basis in the proportion that your value in each Variable Sub-Account bears to your total value in all Variable Sub-Accounts. Rider Fees will decrease the number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Sub-Account. If, at the time the Rider Fee is deducted, the Rider Fee exceeds the total value in all Variable Sub-Accounts, the excess of the Rider Fee over the total value in all Variable Sub-Accounts will be waived.
The first Rider Fee will be deducted on the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date. A Rider Fee will be deducted on each subsequent Contract Anniversary up to and including the date the Option is terminated. We will not charge a Rider Fee on the date the Option is terminated, on a date other than the Contract Anniversary, if the Option is terminated on the Payout Start Date or due to death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant.
For the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, the Rider Fee is equal to the number of months from the Rider Date to the first Contract Anniversary, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.10%, with the result multiplied by the Contract Value as of the first Contract Anniversary. For subsequent Contract Anniversaries, the Rider Fee is equal to 0.10% multiplied by the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary. If you terminate this Option on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a Rider Fee. The Rider Fee will be pro-rated to cover the period from the last Contract Anniversary to the date of termination, or if you terminate this Option during the first Benefit Year, from the Rider Date to the date of termination. The pro-rated Rider Fee will be equal to the number of full months from the Contract Anniversary to the date of termination, or if you terminate this Option during the first Contract Year after adding the Option, the number of full months from the Rider Date to the date of termination, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.10%, with the result multiplied by the Contract Value immediately prior to the termination.
RETIREMENT INCOME GUARANTEE OPTION FEE
We discontinued offering the Retirement Income Guarantee Options as of January 1, 2004 (up to May 1, 2004 in certain states). Fees described below apply to Contract Owners who selected an Option prior to January 1, 2004 (up to May 1, 2004 in certain states). We impose a separate annual Rider Fee for RIG 1 and RIG 2. The current annual Rider Fee for RIG 1 is 0.40% of the Income Base on each Contract Anniversary. For Contract Owners who added RIG 1 prior to May 1, 2003, the annual Rider Fee is 0.25%. The current annual Rider Fee for RIG 2 is 0.55% of the Income Base on each Contract Anniversary. For Contract Owners who added RIG 2 prior to May 1, 2003, the annual Rider Fee is 0.45%. See “Retirement Income Guarantee Options” for details.
We deduct the Rider Fees only from the Variable Sub-Account(s) on a pro-rata basis. For the initial Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date, we will deduct a fee pro rated to cover the period from the Rider Date to the Contract Anniversary. In the case of a full withdrawal of the Contract Value on any date other than the Contract Anniversary, we will deduct from the amount paid upon
61
withdrawal the Rider Fee multiplied by the appropriate Income Base immediately prior to the withdrawal pro rated to cover the period the Option was in effect during the current Contract Year. We will not deduct the Rider Fee during the Payout Phase.
WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTION FEE
We charge separate annual Rider Fees for each of the SureIncome Option (the “SureIncome Option Fee”), the SureIncome Plus Option (the “SureIncome Plus Option Fee”), and the SureIncome For Life Option (the “SureIncome For Life Option Fee”). Collectively, we refer to the SureIncome Option Fee, the SureIncome Plus Option Fee and the SureIncome For Life Option Fee as the “Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees”. “Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee” is used to refer to any one of the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees.
The current annual SureIncome Option Fee is 0.50% of the Benefit Base. The current annual SureIncome Plus Option Fee and the current annual SureIncome For Life Option Fee are each 0.65% of the Benefit Base. We reserve the right to increase any Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee to up to 1.25% of the Benefit Base. We reserve the right to charge a different Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee for different Withdrawal Benefit Factors or Withdrawal Benefit Options we may offer in the future. Once we issue your Withdrawal Benefit Option, we cannot change the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee that applies to your Contract. If applicable, if you elect to exercise the Rider Trade-In Option, the new Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be based on the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee percentage applicable to a new Withdrawal Benefit Option available at the time of trade-in.
We deduct the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees on each Contract Anniversary up to and including the date you terminate the Option. The Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees are deducted only from the Variable Sub-Account(s) on a pro-rata basis in the proportion that your Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account bears to your total Contract Value in all Variable Sub-Accounts. The Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will decrease the number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Sub-Account. If, at the time the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee is deducted, the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee exceeds the total Contract Value in all Variable Sub-Accounts, the excess of the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee over the total Contract Value in all Variable Sub-Accounts will be waived.
The first Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be deducted on the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date. A Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be deducted on each subsequent Contract Anniversary up to and including the date the Withdrawal Benefit Option is terminated.
For the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, the SureIncome Option Fee is equal to the number of full months from the Rider Date to the first Contract Anniversary, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.50%, with the result multiplied by the Benefit Base on the first Contract Anniversary. For subsequent Contract Anniversaries, the SureIncome Option Fee is equal to 0.50% multiplied by the Benefit Base as of that Contract Anniversary.
For the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, the SureIncome Plus Option Fee and the SureIncome For Life Option Fee are each equal to the number of full months from the Rider Date to the first Contract Anniversary, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.65%, with the result multiplied by the Benefit Base on the first Contract Anniversary increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and decreased by withdrawals, but prior to the Benefit Base being recalculated based on the Contract Value. For subsequent Contract Anniversaries, the SureIncome Plus Option Fee and the SureIncome For Life Option Rider Fee are each equal to 0.65% multiplied by the Benefit Base on that Contract Anniversary increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and decreased by withdrawals, but prior to the Benefit Base being recalculated based on the Contract Value for any of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date. As previously stated, we will deduct Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees on each Contract Anniversary up to and including the date you terminate the Option.
If you terminate the SureIncome Option or the SureIncome Plus Option on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will deduct the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee unless the termination is on the Payout Start Date or is due to the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant. If you terminate the SureIncome For Life Option on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will deduct the SureIncome For Life Option Fee unless the termination is on the Payout Start Date or is due to the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or the death of the SureIncome Covered Life. The Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be pro-rated to cover the period from the last Contract Anniversary to the date of termination or, if you terminate the Withdrawal Benefit Option during the first Benefit Year, from the Rider Date to the date of termination. For the SureIncome Option, the pro-rated SureIncome Option Fee will be equal to the number of full months from the Contract Anniversary to the date of termination or, if you terminate the SureIncome Option during the first Benefit Year, the number of full months from the Rider Date to the date of termination, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.50%, with the result multiplied by the Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal or termination. For the SureIncome Plus Option and the SureIncome For Life Option, the pro-rated Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be equal to the number of full months from the Contract Anniversary to the date of termination or, if you terminate the Withdrawal Benefit Option during the first Benefit Year, the number of full months from the Rider Date to the date of termination, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.65%, with the result multiplied by the Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal or termination. The Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be waived during the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase.
62
TRANSFER FEE
We impose a fee upon transfers in excess of 12 during any Contract Year. The current fee is equal to 1.00% of the dollar amount transferred. This fee may be increased, but in no event will it exceed 2.00% of the dollar amount transferred. We will not charge a transfer fee on transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
We may assess a withdrawal charge from the purchase payment(s) you withdraw. The amount of the charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since we received the purchase payment being withdrawn. A schedule showing the withdrawal charges applicable to each Contract appears in the "Expense Table" section. If you make a withdrawal before the Payout Start Date, we will apply the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the date of the withdrawal, or the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the following day, whichever is lower.
Withdrawals also may be subject to tax penalties or income tax. You should consult with your tax counsel or other tax advisor regarding any withdrawals.
Withdrawals from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option may be subject to a market value adjustment. Refer to the "Investment Alternatives: The Fixed Account Options - Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option" section for more information on market value adjustments.
FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT
You can withdraw up to the Free Withdrawal Amount each Contract Year without paying the withdrawal charge. The Free Withdrawal Amount for a Contract Year is equal to 15% of all purchase payments (excluding Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) that are subject to a withdrawal charge as of the beginning of that Contract Year, plus 15% of the purchase payments added to the Contract during the Contract Year. The withdrawal charge applicable to Contracts owned by Charitable Remainder Trusts is described below.
Purchase payments no longer subject to a withdrawal charge will not be used to determine the Free Withdrawal Amount for a Contract Year, nor will they be assessed a withdrawal charge, if withdrawn. The Free Withdrawal Amount is not available in the Payout Phase.
You may withdraw up to the Free Withdrawal Amount in each Contract Year it is available without paying a withdrawal charge; however, the amount withdrawn may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment or applicable taxes. If you do not withdraw the entire Free Withdrawal Amount in a Contract Year, any remaining portion may not be carried forward to increase the Free Withdrawal Amount in a later Contract Year.
For purposes of assessing the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the oldest purchase payments first as follows:
1) | Purchase payments that no longer are subject to withdrawal charges; |
2) | Free Withdrawal Amount (if available); |
3) | Remaining purchase payments subject to withdrawal charges, beginning with the oldest purchase payment; |
4) | Any earnings not previously withdrawn. |
However, for federal income tax purposes, earnings are considered to come out first, which means that you will pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal.
If the Contract Owner is a Charitable Remainder Trust, the Free Withdrawal Amount in a Contract Year is equal to the greater of:
• | The Free Withdrawal Amount described above; or |
• | Earnings as of the beginning of the Contract Year that have not been previously withdrawn. |
For purposes of assessing the withdrawal charge for a Charitable Remainder Trust-Owned Contract, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the earnings first and then the oldest purchase payments as follows:
1) | Earnings not previously withdrawn; |
2) | Purchase payments that are no longer subject to withdrawal charges; |
3) | Free Withdrawal Amount in excess of earnings; |
4) | Purchase payments subject to withdrawal charges, beginning with the oldest purchase payment. |
If you have selected the Allstate Advisor Preferred Contract with No Withdrawal Charge Option, there are no withdrawal charges applicable and, therefore, no Free Withdrawal Amount. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment or applicable taxes.
63
All Contracts
We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:
• | the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant (unless the Settlement Value is used); |
• | withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; or |
• | withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers described below. |
We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the Contracts, and to help defray the cost of the Credit Enhancement for the Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, or the cost of the Credit Enhancement, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above, to make up any difference.
Withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers regarding any withdrawals.
Confinement Waiver. We will waive the withdrawal charge on any applicable withdrawal taken under your Contract if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. | you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a living person, are first confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at least 30 days after the Issue Date, |
2. | we receive your request for withdrawal and Due Proof of confinement no later than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant’s confinement at the long term care facility or hospital, and |
3. | a physician must have prescribed the confinement and the confinement must be medically necessary (as defined in the Contract). |
“Due Proof” includes, but is not limited to, a letter signed by a physician stating the dates the Owner or Annuitant was confined, the name and location of the Long Term Care Facility or Hospital, a statement that the confinement was medically necessary, and, if released, the date the Owner or Annuitant was released from the Long Term Care Facility or Hospital.
Terminal Illness Waiver. We will waive the withdrawal charge on any applicable withdrawal under your Contract if:
1. | you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a living person, are diagnosed by a physician as having a terminal illness (as defined in the Contract) at least 30 days after the Issue Date, and |
2. | you provide Due Proof of diagnosis to us before or at the time you request the withdrawal. |
“Due Proof” includes, but is not limited to, a letter signed by a physician stating that the Owner or Annuitant has a Terminal Illness and the date the Terminal Illness was first diagnosed.
Unemployment Waiver. We will waive the withdrawal charge on one partial or a full withdrawal taken under your Contract, if you meet the following requirements:
1. | you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a living person, become unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date, |
2. | you or the Annuitant receive Unemployment Compensation for at least 30 consecutive days as a result of that unemployment, and |
3. | you or the Annuitant claim this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant’s initial receipt of Unemployment Compensation. |
Before we will waive any withdrawal charges, you must give us Due Proof prior to, or at the time of, the withdrawal request, that you or the Annuitant have been unemployed and have been granted Unemployment Compensation for at least 30 consecutive days.
“Unemployment Compensation” means unemployment compensation received from a unit of state or federal government in the U.S. “Due Proof” includes, but is not limited to, a legible photocopy of an unemployment compensation payment that meets the above described criteria with regard to dates and a signed letter from you stating that you or the Annuitant meet the above described criteria.
You may exercise this benefit once over the term of the Contract. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to Market Value Adjustments.
These waivers do not apply under the Allstate Advisor Preferred Contract with No Withdrawal Charge Option.
Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and conditions of these waivers.
The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you do not pay a withdrawal charge
64
because of these waivers, a Market Value Adjustment may apply and you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the effect of a withdrawal on your taxes.
PREMIUM TAXES
Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge premium taxes or similar taxes. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will deduct them from your Contract Value. Some of these taxes are due when the Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender. Our current practice is not to charge anyone for these taxes until income payments begin or when a total withdrawal occurs including payment upon death. We may sometime in the future discontinue this practice and deduct premium taxes from the purchase payments. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5%, depending on the state.
At the Payout Start Date, we deduct the charge for premium taxes from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract Value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.
DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES
We may assess a charge against the Sub-accounts and the Fixed Rate Options equal to any taxes which may be imposed upon the Separate Account. We will pay company income taxes on the taxable corporate earnings created by this Separate Account product. While we may consider company income taxes when pricing our products, we do not currently include such income taxes in the Tax Charge you pay under the contract. We will periodically review the issue of charging for these taxes and may impose a charge in the future. In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including Separate Account assets, which are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits reduce our overall corporate income tax liability. Under current law, such benefits may include foreign tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions. We do not pass these tax benefits through to holders of the Separate Account annuity contracts because (i) the contract owners are not the owners of the assets generating these benefits under applicable income tax law and (ii) we do not currently include company income taxes in the Tax Charge you pay under the contract. We reserve the right to change these tax practices.
Our status under the Code is briefly described in the “Taxes” section of this prospectus.
OTHER EXPENSES
Each Portfolio deducts management fees and other expenses from its assets. You indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held by the Variable Sub-Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the prospectuses for the Portfolios. For a summary of Portfolio annual expenses see the Expense Table - Portfolio Annual Expenses section.
Access to Your Money
WITHDRAWALS
You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. Withdrawals also are available under limited circumstances on or after the Payout Start Date. See the Income Payments - Income Plans section.
The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value (or portion thereof) next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal at our home office, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less any applicable withdrawal charges, income tax withholding, penalty tax, contract maintenance charge, Rider Fee, and any premium taxes. We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account within 7 days of receipt of the request, subject to postponement in certain circumstances. You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Option(s) available under your Contract. To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable charges, fees and taxes.
You must name the investment alternative from which you are taking the withdrawal. If none is named, then the withdrawal request is incomplete and cannot be honored.
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time.
Withdrawals from the Standard Fixed Account Option may be subject to a restriction. See the Investment Alternatives: The Fixed Account Options - Standard Fixed Account Option section.
Withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal penalty tax. If any withdrawal reduces your Contract Value to less than $1,000, we will treat the request as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value, unless a Withdrawal Benefit Option is currently attached to your Contract. See “Withdrawal Benefit Options” above for more information. If you request a total withdrawal, we may require that you return your Contract to us. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value, subject to certain exceptions if a Withdrawal Benefit Option is currently attached to your Contract. See “Withdrawal Benefit Options” for more details. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. If
65
we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges and taxes.
WRITTEN REQUESTS AND FORMS IN GOOD ORDER.
Written requests must include sufficient information and/or documentation, and be sufficiently clear, to enable us to complete your request without the need to exercise discretion on our part to carry it out. You may contact our Customer Service Center to learn what information we require for your particular request to be in “good order.” Additionally, we may require that you submit your request on our form. We reserve the right to determine whether any particular request is in good order, and to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under the Contract if:
1. | The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted, |
2. | An emergency exists as defined by the SEC, or |
3. | The SEC permits delay for your protection. |
We may delay payments or transfers from the Fixed Account Option(s) available under your Contract for up to 6 months or shorter period if required by law. If we delay payment or transfer for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. Please consult your sales representative or call us at 1-800-457-7617 for more information.
Any systematic withdrawal programs based upon IRS minimum distribution requirements may be modified to ensure guarantees under any Withdrawal Benefit Option currently attached to your Contract are not impacted by the withdrawals. Withdrawals made outside of any systematic withdrawal program based upon IRS minimum distribution requirements may impact the guarantees provided under any Withdrawal Benefit Option currently attached to your Contract.
Depending on fluctuations in the value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the value of the Fixed Account Options, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even exhaust the Contract Value. Income taxes may apply to systematic withdrawals. Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.
We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. At our discretion, we may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be affected.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce your Contract Value to less than $1,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract Value, unless a Withdrawal Benefit Option is currently attached to your Contract. See “Withdrawal Benefit Options” above for more information. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges and applicable taxes.
Income Payments
PAYOUT START DATE
The Payout Start Date is the day that we apply your Contract Value adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment and less applicable taxes to an Income Plan. The first income payment must occur at least 30 days after the Issue Date. The Payout Start Date may be no later than:
• | the Annuitant’s 99th birthday, or |
• | the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later. |
You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.
INCOME PLANS
An “Income Plan” is a series of payments made on a scheduled basis to you or to another person designated by you. You may select more than one Income Plan. If you choose more than one Income Plan, you must specify what proportions of your Contract
66
Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, should be allocated to each such Income Plan. For tax reporting purposes, your cost basis and any gain on the Contract will be allocated proportionally to each Income Plan you select based on the proportion of your Contract Value applied to each such Income Plan. We reserve the right to limit the number of Income Plans that you may select. If you choose to add the Income Protection Benefit Option, certain restrictions may apply as described under “Income Protection Benefit Option,” below. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with a Guaranteed Payment Period of 10 years. If any Contract Owner dies during the Payout Phase, the new Contract Owner will be the surviving Contract Owner. If there is no surviving Contract Owner, the new Contract Owner will be the Beneficiary(ies) as described in the “Beneficiary” section of this prospectus. Any remaining income payments will be paid to the new Contract Owner as scheduled. Income payments to Beneficiaries may be subject to restrictions established by the Contract Owner. After the Payout Start Date, you may not make withdrawals (except as described below) or change your choice of Income Plan.
Currently seven Income Plans are available. Depending on the Income Plan(s) you choose, you may receive:
• | fixed income payments; |
• | variable income payments; or |
• | a combination of the two. |
A portion of each payment will be considered taxable and the remaining portion will be a non-taxable return of your investment in the Contract, which is also called the “basis.” Once the basis in the Contract is depleted, all remaining payments will be fully taxable. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally, all payments will be fully taxable. Taxable payments taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.
The seven Income Plans are:
Income Plan 1 – Life Income with Guaranteed Number of Payments. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the Annuitant dies in the Payout Phase, we will continue to pay income payments until the guaranteed number of payments has been paid. The number of months guaranteed (“Guaranteed Payment Period”) may range from 0 to 360 months. If the Annuitant is age 90 or older as of the Payout Start Date, the Guaranteed Payment Period may range from 60 to 360 months.
Income Plan 2 – Joint and Survivor Life Income with Guaranteed Number of Payments. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as either the Annuitant or the joint Annuitant, named at the time the Income Plan was selected, lives. If both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant die in the Payout Phase, we will continue to pay the income payments until the guaranteed number of payments has been paid. The Guaranteed Payment Period may range from 0 to 360 months. If either the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is age 90 or older as of the Payout Start Date, the Guaranteed Payment Period may range from 60 to 360 months. You may elect a reduced survivor plan of 50%, 66% or 75% of the payment amount. If you do not elect a reduced survivor amount, the payments will remain at 100%. If you elect a reduced survivor payment plan, the amount of each income payment initially will be higher but a reduction will take place at the later of 1) the death of an Annuitant; or 2) at the end of the guaranteed payment period.
Income Plan 3 – Guaranteed Number of Payments. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant’s life. The shortest number of months guaranteed is 60 (120 if the Payout Start Date occurs prior to the third Contract Anniversary). The longest number of months guaranteed is 360 or the number of months between the Payout Start Date and the date that the Annuitant reaches age 100, if greater. In no event may the number of months guaranteed exceed 600. We will deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Variable Sub-Account supporting this Income Plan even though we may not bear any mortality risk. You may make withdrawals under this option. Please see “Payout Withdrawals” section for more information.
Income Plan 4 – Life Income with Cash Refund. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments until the death of the Annuitant. If the death of the Annuitant occurs before the total amount applied to an Income Plan is paid out, we will pay a lump sum payment of the remaining amount. Payments under this plan are available only as fixed income payments.
Income Plan 5 – Joint Life Income with Cash Refund. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments until the deaths of both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant. If the deaths of both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant occur before the total amount applied to an Income Plan is paid out, we will pay a lump sum payment of the remaining amount. Currently, a reduced survivor plan is not available. Payments under this plan are available only as fixed income payments.
Income Plan 6 – Life Income with Installment Refund. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments until the later of: (1) the death of the Annuitant; or (2) the total amount paid out under the annuity is equal to the total amount applied to the Income Plan. If the death of the Annuitant occurs before the total amount applied to an Income Plan is paid out, we will continue to make payments in the same manner until any remaining payments are paid out. Payments under this plan are available only as fixed income payments.
67
Income Plan 7 – Joint Life Income with Installment Refund. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments until the later of: (1) the deaths of both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant; or (2) the total amount paid out under the annuity is equal to the total amount applied to the Income Plan. If the deaths of both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant occur before the total amount applied to an Income Plan is paid out, we will continue to make payments in the same manner until any remaining payments are paid out. Currently, a reduced survivor plan is not available. Payments under this plan are available only as fixed income payments.
If you choose an Income Plan with payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant, we may require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting income payments, and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is alive before we make each payment. Please note that under Income Plans 1 and 2, if you do not select a Guaranteed Payment Period, it is possible that the payee could receive only one income payment if the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant both die before the second income payment, or only two income payments if they die before the third income payment, and so on.
The length of any Guaranteed Payment Period under your selected Income Plan generally will affect the dollar amounts of each income payment. As a general rule, longer Guarantee Payment Periods result in lower income payments, all other things being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend on the life of the Annuitant but with no guaranteed payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments made under the same Income Plan with a specified Guaranteed Payment Period.
Payout Withdrawal
You may terminate all or a portion of the income payments being made under Income Plan 3 at any time and withdraw their present value (“withdrawal value”), subject to a Payout Withdrawal Charge, by writing to us (“Payout Withdrawal”). For variable income payments, the withdrawal value is equal to the present value of the variable income payments being terminated, calculated using a discount rate equal to the assumed investment rate that was used in determining the initial variable payment. For fixed income payments, the withdrawal value is equal to the present value of the fixed income payments being terminated, calculated using a discount rate equal to the applicable current interest rate (this may be the initial interest rate in some states.) The applicable current interest rate is the rate we are using on the date we receive your Payout Withdrawal request to determine income payments for a new annuitization with a payment period equal to the remaining payment period of the income payments being terminated.
A Payout Withdrawal must be at least $50. If any Payout Withdrawal reduces the value of the remaining income payments to an amount not sufficient to provide an initial payment of at least $20, we reserve the right to terminate the Contract and pay you the present value of the remaining income payments in a lump sum. If you withdraw the entire value of the remaining income payments, the Contract will terminate.
You must specify the investment alternative(s) from which you wish to make a Payout Withdrawal. If you withdraw a portion of the value of your remaining income payments, the payment period will remain unchanged and your remaining payment amounts will be reduced proportionately.
Payout Withdrawal Charge
To determine the Payout Withdrawal Charge, we assume that purchase payments are withdrawn first, beginning with the oldest payment. When an amount equal to all purchase payments has been withdrawn, additional withdrawals will not be assessed a Payout Withdrawal Charge.
Payout Withdrawals will be subject to a Payout Withdrawal Charge for each Contract as follows:
Number of Complete Years Since We Received the Purchase Payment Being Withdrawn/Applicable Charge: | |||||||||
Contract: | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8+ |
Allstate Advisor | 7% | 7% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 3% | 2% | 0% | 0% |
Allstate Advisor Plus | 8.5% | 8.5% | 8.5% | 7.5% | 6.5% | 5.5% | 4% | 2.5% | 0% |
Allstate Advisor Preferred with: | |||||||||
5-Year Withdrawal Charge Option | 7% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 3% | 0% | |||
3-Year Withdrawal Charge Option | 7% | 6% | 5% | 0% | |||||
No Withdrawal Charge Option | None |
Additional Information. We may make other Income Plans available. You may obtain information about them by writing or calling us. On the Payout Start Date, you must specify the portion of the Contract Value to be applied to variable income payments and the portion to be applied to fixed income payments. For the portion of your Contract Value to be applied to variable income payments, you must also specify the Variable Sub-Accounts on which to base the variable income payments as well as the allocation among those Variable Sub-Accounts. If you do not choose how the Contract Value is to be applied, then the portion of the Contract Value in the Variable Account on the Payout Start Date will be applied to variable income payments, according to the Variable Sub-Account allocations as of the Payout Start Date, and the remainder of the Contract Value will be applied to fixed income payments.
68
We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less applicable taxes, to your Income Plan(s) on the Payout Start Date. We can make income payments in monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual installments, as you select. If the Contract Value is less than $2,000 when it is applied to the Income Plan(s) you choose, or not enough to provide an initial payment of at least $20 when it is applied to the Income Plan(s) you choose, and state law permits, we may:
• | terminate the Contract and pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments you have chosen, or |
• | reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least $20. |
VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment results of the Variable Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and sex of the Annuitant, and the Income Plan you choose. We guarantee that the payments will not be affected by: (a) company mortality experience; or (b) the amount of our administration expenses.
We cannot predict the total amount of your variable income payments, which may be more or less than your total purchase payments because (a) variable income payments vary with the investment results of the underlying Portfolios; and (b) under some of the Income Plans, we make income payments only so long as an Annuitant is alive or any applicable Guaranteed Payment Period has not yet expired.
In calculating the amount of the periodic payments in the annuity tables in the Contracts, we used an assumed investment rate (“AIR”, also known as benchmark rate) of 3%. Currently, you may choose either a 6%, 5%, or 3% AIR per year. If you select the Income Protection Benefit Option, however, the 3% AIR must apply. The 6% and 5% AIR may not be available in all states (check with your representative for availability). Currently, if you do not choose one, the 5% AIR will automatically apply (except in states in which the 5% AIR is not available; in those states, the 3% AIR will automatically apply). You may not change the AIR after you have selected an Income Plan.
We reserve the right to offer other assumed investment rates. If the actual net investment return of the Variable Sub-Accounts you choose is less than the AIR, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase, however, if the actual net investment return exceeds the AIR. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net investment return equals the AIR. With a higher AIR, your initial income payment will be larger than with a lower AIR. While income payments continue to be made, however, this disparity will become smaller and, if the payments have continued long enough, each payment will be smaller than if you had initially chosen a lower AIR.
Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we determine variable income payments.
You may also elect a variable income payment stream consisting of level monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments. If you elect to receive level monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments, the payments must be recalculated annually. You may only elect to receive level payments at or before the Payout Start Date. If you have elected level payments for an Income Plan(s), you may not make any variable to fixed payment transfers within such Income Plan(s). We will determine the amount of each annual payment as described above, place this amount in our general account, and then distribute it in level monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments. The sum of the level payments will exceed the annual calculated amount because of an interest rate factor we use, which may vary from year to year, but will not be less than 2% per year. We do not allow withdrawals of the annual amount unless you make a full or partial withdrawal request of the value of the remaining payments under Income Plan 3. Withdrawals will be assessed a Payout Withdrawal Charge, if applicable. If the Annuitant dies while you are receiving level payments, you will not be entitled to receive any remaining level payments for that year (unless the Annuitant dies before the end of the Guaranteed Payment Period). For example, if you have selected Income Plan 1 with no Guaranteed Payment Period and the Annuitant dies during the year, the Beneficiary will not be entitled to receive the remaining level payments for that year.
INCOME PROTECTION BENEFIT OPTION
We offer an Income Protection Benefit Option, which may be added to your Contract on the Payout Start Date for an additional mortality and expense risk charge if you have selected variable income payments subject to the following conditions:
• | The Annuitant and joint Annuitant, if applicable, must be age 75 or younger on the Payout Start Date. |
• | You must choose Income Plan 1 or 2, and the Guaranteed Payment Period must be for at least 120 months, unless the Internal Revenue Service requires a different payment period. |
• | You may apply the Income Protection Benefit Option to more than one Income Plan. |
• | The AIR must be 3% for the Income Plan(s) to which you wish to apply this benefit. |
• | You may only add the Income Protection Benefit Option on the Payout Start Date and, once added, the option cannot be cancelled. |
69
• | You may not add the Income Protection Benefit Option without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the Income Protection Benefit Option. |
• | You may not convert variable income payments to fixed income payments. |
If you select the Income Protection Benefit Option, we guarantee that your variable income payments under each of the Income Plans to which the option is applied will never be less that 85% of the initial variable amount income value (“Income Protection Benefit”), as calculated on the Payout Start Date under such Income Plans, unless you have elected a reduced survivor payment plan under Income Plan 2. If you have elected a reduced survivor payment plan, we guarantee that your variable income payments to which the option is applied will never be less than 85% of the initial variable amount income value prior to the later of 1) the death of an Annuitant; or 2) the end of the guaranteed payment period. On or after the later of these events, we guarantee that your variable income payments will never be less than 85% of the initial variable amount income value multiplied by the percentage you elected for your reduced survivor plan. See Appendix C for numerical examples that illustrate how the Income Protection Benefit is calculated.
If you add the Income Protection Benefit Option to your Contract, the mortality and expense risk charge during the Payout Phase will be increased. The charge for the Income Protection Benefit Option will apply only to the Income Plan(s) to which the Option has been applied. Currently, the charge for this option is 0.75% of the daily net Variable Account assets supporting the variable income payments to which the Income Protection Benefit Option applies. Once the option is issued, we will not increase what we charge you for the benefit.
In order to ensure that we achieve adequate investment diversification (“Income Protection Diversification Requirement”), we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to impose limitations on the investment alternatives in which you may invest during the Payout Phase with respect to the assets supporting the variable income payments to which the Income Protection Benefit Option applies. These limitations may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain Variable Sub-Accounts, exclusion of certain Variable Sub-Accounts, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts, and/or the required use of Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing.
To achieve our Income Protection Diversification Requirement, we have divided the Variable Sub-Accounts into three separate categories: “unrestricted,” “restricted” and “excluded.” Currently, we require that you allocate between 30% to 100% of the assets supporting your variable income payments to the unrestricted Variable Sub-Accounts in any manner you choose. You may allocate up to 70% of the assets supporting your variable income payments to the restricted Variable Sub-Accounts. You may not, however, allocate more than 20% of the assets supporting your variable income payments to any one of the restricted Variable Sub-Accounts. You may not allocate any portion of the assets supporting your variable income payments to the excluded Variable Sub-Accounts.
In the following three tables, we list our current Income Protection Diversification Requirement:
Unrestricted Variable Sub-Accounts. There is no limit to the amount of assets supporting your variable income payments that you may allocate to any one or more of the following Variable Sub-Accounts. Currently, we require that you allocate at least 30% of the assets supporting your variable income payments to this category. |

*As noted above, certain Variable Sub-Accounts are closed to new investments. If you invested in these Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the effective close date, you may continue your investments unless you subsequently withdraw or otherwise transfer your entire Contract Value from that Variable Sub-Account. If you choose to add the Income Protection Benefit Option on or after the effective close date, you must transfer any portion of your Contract Value that is allocated to these Variable Sub-Accounts to any of the remaining Variable Sub-Accounts available with the Income Protection Benefit Option prior to adding it to your Contract.
You must use quarterly Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing to meet our Income Protection Diversification Requirement. On the date of each rebalancing, we will reallocate the amount of the assets supporting your variable income payments according to the rebalancing percentages you have selected, subject to the then current restrictions and exclusions in effect. We expect that the restrictions and exclusions for each category will change from time to time. Any change in these restrictions and exclusions will become effective no later than the next regularly scheduled rebalancing of your Variable Sub-Account choices on or immediately after the date of change.
The Income Protection Diversification Requirement is based on a model. We may use a model developed and maintained by us or we may elect to use a model developed or provided by an independent third party. We will notify you at least 30 days before we make any change to our Income Protection Diversification Requirement.
We may determine which Variable Sub-Accounts are eligible for each category or we may elect to follow the recommendations of an independent third party. We may at any time make new determinations as to which Variable Sub-Accounts are unrestricted, restricted or excluded. We may do so for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, a change in the investment objectives or policies of a Portfolio, or the failure, in our sole determination, of such Portfolio to invest in accordance with its stated investment objective or policies.
Transfers made for purposes of meeting the Income Protection Diversification Requirement will not count towards the number of free transfers you may make each Contract Year. See “Investment Alternatives: Transfers,” above, for additional information.
FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS
We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for the duration of the Income Plan. The guaranteed income payment amounts will change if the frequency of payments or the length of the payment period changes.
We calculate the fixed income payments by:
• | adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment; |
• | deducting any applicable taxes; and |
• | applying the resulting amount to the greater of: (a) the appropriate income payment factor for the selected Income Plan from the Income Payment Table in your Contract; or (b) such other income payment factor as we are offering on the Payout Start Date. |
We may defer your request to make a withdrawal from fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or whatever shorter time state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal request to the date we make payment.

RETIREMENT INCOME GUARANTEE OPTIONS
Effective January 1, 2004, we ceased offering the Retirement Income Guarantee Options (“RIG 1” and “RIG 2”), except in a limited number of states. Effective May 1, 2004, the RIG 1 and RIG 2 Options are no longer available in any state. If you added a Retirement Income Guarantee Option to your Contract prior to January 1, 2004 (up to May 1, 2004 in certain states), your Option will continue to apply to your Contract. Also, effective January 1, 2004, we discontinued the Trade-In Program, except for Contract Owners who added RIG 1 or RIG 2 prior to May 1, 2003. For Contract Owners who added RIG 1 or RIG 2 on or after May 1, 2003, you may cancel your RIG 1 or RIG 2 Option during the 60-day period following your next 3rd Contract Anniversary after January 1, 2004. If you do not cancel the Option during this 60-day period, you will not be permitted to cancel it later. Please check with your sales representative for details. The following describes the Retirement Income Guarantee Options for Contract Owners who elected the Option prior to January 1, 2004 (up to May 1, 2004 in certain states).
We refer to the issue date of the option as the “Rider Date.” You may add only one Retirement Income Guarantee Option to your Contract. The oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant must be age 75 or younger on the Rider Application Date. Once you add a rider to your Contract, it may not be cancelled except during the 60-day period following the next 3rd Contract Anniversary after January 1, 2004, as described above.
We reserve the right to impose limitations on the investment alternatives in which you may invest as a condition of these options. These restrictions may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain investment alternatives, exclusion of certain investment alternatives, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts and/or the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing. Currently, no such restrictions are being imposed.
For each option, an “Income Base” is calculated, which is used only for the purpose of calculating the “Guaranteed Retirement Income Benefit” and the appropriate “Rider Fee,” all defined below. The Income Base does not provide a Contract Value or guarantee performance of any investment option. The Income Base for RIG 1 and RIG 2 are described in more detail below.
You may apply the Income Base less applicable taxes to an Income Plan on the Payout Start Date and receive the Guaranteed Retirement Income Benefit if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• | The Payout Start Date must be on or after the 10th Contract Anniversary of the Rider Date. |
• | The Payout Start Date must occur during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary. |
• | The oldest Annuitant must be age 99 or younger as of the Payout Start Date. |
• | You must select Fixed Amount Income Payments only. |
• | You must select Income Plan 1 or 2, with a Guaranteed Payment Period of at least: |
• | 120 months, if the youngest Annuitant is age 80 or younger as of the Payout Start Date; or |
• | 60 months, if the youngest Annuitant is older than age 80 as of the Payout Start Date. |
The “Guaranteed Retirement Income Benefit” is determined by applying the Income Base, less any applicable taxes, to the appropriate monthly income payment factor shown in the Income Payment Tables in your Contract for the selected Income Plan.
If a different payment frequency (quarterly, semi-annual, or annual) or different Income Plan is selected, an income payment factor for the selected payment frequency and Income Plan is determined on the same mortality and interest rate basis as the Income Payment Tables shown in your Contract.
On the Payout Start Date, the income payments for the selected Income Plan will be the greater of:
• | The Guaranteed Retirement Income Benefit; or |
• | For fixed income payments, the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less any applicable taxes is applied to the greater of: the appropriate income payment factor for the selected Income Plan from the income payment tables in your Contract, or an income payment factor for the selected Income Plan that we are offering on the Payout Start Date. |
We assess an annual Rider Fee if you selected one of the Retirement Income Guarantee Options. The Rider Fee is deducted on each Contract Anniversary on a pro rata basis from each of the Variable Sub-Accounts in which your Contract Value is invested on that date. The Rider Fee will decrease the number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Sub-Account. The Rider Fee is deducted only during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract. For the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, the Rider Fee will be prorated to cover the period between the Rider Date and the first Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date. In the case of a full withdrawal of the Contract Value, the Rider Fee is prorated to cover the period between the Contract Anniversary immediately prior to the withdrawal and the date of the withdrawal.
73
The current Rider Fee for RIG 1 is 0.40% of the Income Base on each Contract Anniversary (0.25% for Contract Owners who added RIG 1 prior to May 1, 2003). The current Rider Fee for the RIG 2 is 0.55% of the Income Base on each Contract Anniversary (0.45% for Contract Owners who added RIG 2 prior to May 1, 2003). These options will terminate and the corresponding Rider Fee will cease on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | The date the Contract is terminated; |
• | If the Contract is not continued in the Accumulation Phase under either the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of the Contract. The option will terminate on the date we determine the Death Proceeds; |
• | The Payout Start Date; or |
• | For Contract Owners who added a RIG 1 or RIG 2 Option on or after May 1, 2003, if you elect to cancel your RIG 1 or RIG 2 Option during the 60-day period following the next 3rd Contract Anniversary after January 1, 2004 (since we discontinued offering the Trade-In Program as of that date). |
Otherwise, the options may not be terminated or cancelled.
Calculation of Income Base.
On the Rider Date, the “RIG 1 Income Base” is equal to the Contract Value. The RIG 1 Income Base, plus purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made after the Rider Date and less RIG 1 withdrawal adjustments for withdrawals made after the Rider Date, will accumulate interest on a daily basis at a rate equivalent to 5% per year (3% in certain states), subject to the “Cap” defined below. This accumulation will continue until the first Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first. After the 5% interest accumulation ends (3% in certain states), the RIG 1 Income Base will continue to be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and reduced by RIG 1 withdrawal adjustments for withdrawals until the option terminates. The “RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustment” is defined below.
The RIG 1 Income Base will not exceed a Cap equal to:
• | 200% of the Contract Value as of the Rider Date; plus |
• | 200% of purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made after the Rider Date, but excluding any purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made in the 12-month period immediately prior to the Payout Start Date; minus |
• | RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustments for any withdrawals made after the Rider Date. |
RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustment. Prior to the first Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier, the withdrawal adjustment is as follows:
• | In each Contract Year, for the portion of withdrawals that do not cumulatively exceed 5% (3% in certain states) of the RIG 1 Income Base as of the beginning of the Contract Year (or as of the Rider Date for the first Contract Year in which RIG 1 is added), the withdrawal adjustment is equal to the amount withdrawn (or portion thereof) multiplied by a discount factor. The discount factor is calculated using a 5% annual interest rate (3% in certain states) and the portion of the Contract Year between the withdrawal date and the end of the Contract Year. This withdrawal adjustment has the effect of reducing the RIG 1 Income Base at the end of the Contract Year by the actual amount of the withdrawal. In other words, for purposes of calculating the RIG 1 Income Base, the withdrawal is treated as if it occurred at the end of the Contract Year. |
• | In each Contract Year, for the portion of withdrawals that cumulatively exceed 5% (3% in certain states) of the RIG 1 Income Base as of the beginning of the Contract Year (or as of the Rider Date for the first Contract Year in which RIG 1 is added), the withdrawal adjustment is equal to the withdrawal amount (or portion thereof), divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal and reduced for the portion of withdrawals that do not cumulatively exceed 5% (3% in certain states), and the result multiplied by the most recently calculated RIG 1 Income Base, reduced for the portion of withdrawals that do not cumulatively exceed 5% (3% in certain states). |
On or after the first Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or the Annuitant, all withdrawal adjustments are equal to the withdrawal amount, divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result multiplied by the most recently calculated RIG 1 Income Base.
See Appendix D for numerical examples that illustrate how the RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustment is applied.
The “RIG 2 Income Base” is defined as the greater of “Income Base A” or “Income Base B.”
“Income Base A” and its corresponding Withdrawal Adjustment are calculated in the same manner as the RIG 1 Income Base and RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustment.
74
On the Rider Date, “Income Base B” is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date and prior to the Payout Start Date, Income Base B is recalculated each time a purchase payment or withdrawal is made as well as on each Contract Anniversary as follows:
• | Each time a purchase payment is made, Income Base B is increased by the amount of the purchase payment (and Credit Enhancement for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts). |
• | Each time a withdrawal is made, Income Base B is reduced by a proportional withdrawal adjustment, defined as the withdrawal amount divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result multiplied by the most recently calculated Income Base B. |
• | On each Contract Anniversary until the first Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first, Income Base B is equal to the greater of the Contract Value on that date or the most recently calculated Income Base B. |
If no purchase payments or withdrawals are made after the Rider Date, Income Base B will be equal to the greatest of the Contract Value on the Rider Date and the Contract Values on each subsequent Contract Anniversary until the earlier of the Payout Start Date or the Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contact Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first.
CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by applicable law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if the Contract is used in connection with an employment-related retirement or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you should consult with legal counsel as to whether the Contract is appropriate.
Death Benefits
DEATH PROCEEDS
Under certain conditions, described below, we will pay Death Proceeds for this Contract on the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant if the death occurs prior to the Payout Start Date. If the Owner or Annuitant dies after the Payout Start Date, we will pay remaining income payments as described in the “Payout Phase” section of your Contract. See “Income Payments” for more information.
We will determine the value of the Death Proceeds as of the end of the Valuation Date during which we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement (the next Valuation Date, if we receive the request after 3:00 p.m. Central Time). In order to be considered a “Complete Request for Settlement,” a claim for distribution of the Death Proceeds must include “Due Proof of Death” in any of the following forms of documentation:
• | A certified copy of the death certificate; |
• | A certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or |
• | Any other proof acceptable to us. |
“Death Proceeds” are determined based on when we receive a Complete Request for Settlement:
• | If we receive a Complete Request for Settlement within 180 days of the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant, as applicable, the Death Proceeds are equal to the “Death Benefit.” |
• | If we receive a Complete Request for Settlement more than 180 days after the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant, as applicable, the Death Proceeds are equal to the greater of the Contract Value or Settlement Value. We reserve the right to waive or extend, in a nondiscriminatory manner, the 180-day period in which the Death Proceeds will equal the Death Benefit. |
Where there are multiple Beneficiaries, we will only value the Death Proceeds at the time the first Beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in good order. Any Death Proceeds amounts attributable to any Beneficiary which remain in the Variable Sub-Accounts are subject to investment risk.
75
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
In addition to the ROP Death Benefit included in your Contract, we offer the following death benefit options which may be added to your Contract:
• | MAV Death Benefit Option |
• | Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option |
• | Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option |
The SureIncome Plus Option and SureIncome For Life Option also include a death benefit option, the SureIncome Return of Premium Death Benefit (“SureIncome ROP Death Benefit.”)
The amount of the Death Benefit depends on which death benefit option(s) you select. Not all death benefit options are available in all states.
You may select any combination of death benefit options on the Issue Date of your Contract or at a later date, subject to state availability and issue age restrictions. You may not add any of the death benefit option(s) to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add an option(s).
The “Death Benefit” is equal to the Earnings Protection Death Benefit (if selected) plus the greatest of:
• | The Contract Value; |
• | The Settlement Value; |
• | The ROP Death Benefit; |
• | The MAV Death Benefit Option (if selected); |
• | The Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option (if selected); or |
• | The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit. * |
The “Settlement Value” is the amount that would be paid in the event of a full withdrawal of the Contract Value.
* The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit under the SureIncome For Life Option is only included in the calculation of the Death Benefit upon the death of the SureIncome Covered Life. If a Contract Owner, Annuitant or Co-Annuitant who is not the SureIncome Covered Life dies, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is not applicable.
The “ROP Death Benefit” is equal to the sum of all purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts), reduced by a proportional withdrawal adjustment for each withdrawal. The withdrawal adjustment is equal to the withdrawal amount divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result is multiplied by:
The sum of all purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made prior to the withdrawal, less any prior withdrawal adjustments.
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option.
The “MAV Death Benefit Option” is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. There is an additional mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option, currently equal to 0.20% (0.15% for Contract Owners who added this option prior to May 1, 2003). We may change what we charge for this death benefit option, but it will never exceed 0.30%. Once added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge you pay for this death benefit option.
On the date we issue the rider for this benefit (“Rider Date”), the MAV Death Benefit is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date and prior to the date we determine the Death Proceeds (see the Death Benefits - Death Proceeds section), the MAV Death Benefit is recalculated each time a purchase payment or withdrawal is made as well as on each Contract Anniversary as follows:
• | Each time a purchase payment is made, the MAV Death Benefit is increased by the amount of the purchase payment (and Credit Enhancement for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts). |
• | Each time a withdrawal is made, the MAV Death Benefit is reduced by a proportional withdrawal adjustment, defined as the withdrawal amount divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result multiplied by the most recently calculated MAV Death Benefit. |
• | On each Contract Anniversary until the first Contract Anniversary following the 80th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first, the MAV Death Benefit is recalculated as the greater of the Contract Value on that date or the most recently calculated MAV Death Benefit. |
76
If no purchase payments or withdrawals are made after the Rider Date, the MAV Death Benefit will be equal to the greatest of the Contract Value on the Rider Date and the Contract Values on each subsequent Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date, but before the date we determine the Death Proceeds. If, upon death of the Contract Owner, the Contract is continued under Option D as described in the Death Benefits Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D section, and if the oldest New Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant are age 80 or younger on the date we determine the Death Proceeds, then the MAV Death Benefit Option will continue. The MAV Death Benefit will continue to be recalculated for purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts), withdrawals, and on each Contract Anniversary after the date we determine the Death Proceeds until the earlier of:
• | The first Contract Anniversary following the 80th birthday of either the oldest New Contract Owner or the oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier. (After the 80th birthday of either the oldest New Contract Owner or the oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier, the MAV Death Benefit will be recalculated only for purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and withdrawals); or |
• | The date we next determine the Death Proceeds. |
Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option.
The Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. There is an additional mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option, currently equal to 0.30% (0.15% for Contract Owners who added this option prior to May 1, 2003). We may change what we charge for this death benefit option, but it will never exceed 0.30%. Once added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge you pay for this death benefit option.
On the date we issue the rider for this benefit (“Rider Date”), the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit is equal to the Contract Value. The Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit, plus purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made after the Rider Date and less withdrawal adjustments for withdrawals made after the Rider Date, will accumulate interest on a daily basis at a rate equivalent to 5% per year (3% in certain states), subject to the “Cap” defined below. This accumulation will continue until the earlier of:
(a) | the first Contract Anniversary following the 80th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first; or |
(b) | the date we determine the Death Proceeds. |
After the 5% interest accumulation ends (3% in certain states), the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit will continue to be increased by purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) and reduced by withdrawal adjustments for withdrawals until the death benefit option terminates. The withdrawal adjustment is a proportional adjustment, defined as the withdrawal amount divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result multiplied by the amount of the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit immediately prior to the withdrawal.
The Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit Cap is equal to:
• | 200% of the Contract Value as of the Rider Date; plus |
• | 200% of purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made after the Rider Date, but excluding any purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made in the 12-month period immediately prior to the death of the Contract Owner or the Annuitant; minus |
• | Withdrawal adjustments for any withdrawals made after the Rider Date. Refer to Appendix E for withdrawal adjustment examples. |
If, upon death of the Contract Owner, the Contract is continued under Option D as described in the Death Benefits - Death Benefit Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D section, and if the oldest New Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant are age 80 or younger on the date we determine the Death Proceeds, then the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option will continue. The amount of the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds, plus subsequent purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts), less withdrawal adjustments for any subsequent withdrawals, will accumulate daily at a rate equivalent to 5% per year (3% in certain states) from the date we determine the Death Proceeds, until the earlier of:
• | The first Contract Anniversary following the 80th birthday of either the oldest New Contract Owner or the oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier. (After the 80th birthday of either the oldest New Owner or the oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier, the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit will be recalculated only for purchase payments and withdrawals (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts); or |
• | The date we next determine the Death Proceeds. |
77
Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option.
The “Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option” is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. There is an additional mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option, currently equal to:
• | 0.25%, if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 70 or younger on the Rider Application Date; and |
• | 0.40%, if the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant is over age 70 and all are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. |
We may change what we charge for this death benefit option, but it will never exceed 0.35% for issue ages 0-70 and 0.50% for issue ages 71-79. Once added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge you pay for this death benefit option. However, if your spouse elects to continue the Contract in the event of your death and if he or she elects to continue the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the mortality and expense risk charge for the death benefit option will be based on the ages of the oldest new Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant at the time the Contract is continued.
If the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 70 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit is equal to the lesser of:
• | 100% of “In-Force Premium” (excluding purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made after the date we issue the rider for this benefit (“Rider Date”) and during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant); or |
• | 40% of “In-Force Earnings” |
calculated as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds.
If the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant is over age 70 and all are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit is equal to the lesser of:
• | 50% of “In-Force Premium” (excluding purchase payments (and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts) made after the Rider Date and during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant); or |
• | 25% of “In-Force Earnings” |
calculated as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds.
In-Force Earnings are equal to the current Contract Value less In-Force Premium. If this quantity is negative, then In-Force Earnings are equal to zero.
In-Force Premium is equal to the Contract Value on the Rider Date, plus the sum of all purchase payments made after the Rider Date, less the sum of all “Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawals” made after the Rider Date.
An Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawal is equal to the excess, if any, of the amount of the withdrawal over the amount of the In-Force Earnings immediately prior to the withdrawal.
Refer to Appendix F for numerical examples that illustrate how the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option is calculated.
If, upon death of the Contract Owner, the Contract is continued under Option D as Death Benefits - Death Benefit Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D section described and if the oldest new Owner and the oldest Annuitant are younger than age 80 on the date we determine the Death Proceeds, then this death benefit option will continue unless the New Contract Owner elects to terminate the death benefit option. If the death benefit option is continued, the following will apply as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds upon continuation:
• | The Rider Date will be changed to the date we determine the Death Proceeds; |
• | The In-Force Premium is equal to the Contract Value as of the new Rider Date plus all purchase payments made after the Rider Date, less the sum of all the Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawals made after the Rider Date; |
• | The Earnings Protection Death Benefit after the new Rider Date will be determined as described above, but using the ages of the oldest new Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant as of the new Rider Date. |
• | The mortality and expense risk charge, for this rider, will be determined as described above, but using the ages of the oldest new Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant as of the new Rider Date. |
If either the Contract Owner’s or the Annuitant’s age is misstated, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit and the mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option will be calculated according to the corrected age as of the Rider Date. Your Contract Value will be adjusted to reflect the mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option that should have been assessed based on the corrected age.
78
ALL OPTIONS.
We reserve the right to impose limitations on the investment alternatives in which you may invest as a condition of these options. These restrictions may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain investment alternatives, exclusion of certain investment alternatives, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts and/or the required use of Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing. Currently, no such restrictions are being imposed.
These death benefit options will terminate and the corresponding Rider Fee will cease on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | the date the Contract is terminated; |
• | if, upon the death of the Contract Owner, the Contract is continued under Option D as described in the Death Benefits - Death Benefit Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D section, and either the oldest New Owner or the oldest Annuitant is older than age 80 (age 80 or older for the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option) on the date we determine the Death Proceeds. The death benefit option will terminate on the date we determine the Death Proceeds; |
• | if the Contract is not continued in the Accumulation Phase under either the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of the Contract. The death benefit option will terminate on the date we determine the Death Proceeds; |
• | on the date the Contract Owner (if the current Contract Owner is a living person) is changed for any reason other than death unless the New Contract Owner is a trust and the Annuitant is the current Contract Owner; |
• | on the date the Contract Owner (if the current Contract Owner is a non-living person) is changed for any reason unless the New Contract Owner is a non-living person or is the current Annuitant; or |
• | the Payout Start Date. |
Notwithstanding the preceding, in the event of the Contract Owner’s death, if the Contract Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract (as permitted in the Death of Owner provision below) he or she may terminate the Earnings Protection Death Benefit at that time.
DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS
Death of Contract Owner
If a Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, then the surviving Contract Owners will be “New Contract Owners”. If there are no surviving Contract Owners, then subject to any restrictions previously placed upon them, the Beneficiaries will be the New Contract Owners.
If there is more than one New Contract Owner taking a share of the Death Proceeds, each New Contract Owner will be treated as a separate and independent Contract Owner of his or her respective share of the Death Proceeds. Each New Contract Owner will exercise all rights related to his or her share of the Death Proceeds, including the sole right to elect one of the Option(s) below, subject to any restrictions previously placed upon the New Contract Owner. Each New Contract Owner may designate a Beneficiary(ies) for his or her respective share, but that designated Beneficiary(ies) will be restricted to the Option chosen by the original New Contract Owner.
The Options available to the New Contract Owner will be determined by the applicable following Category in which the New Contract Owner is defined. An Option will be deemed to have been chosen on the day we receive written notification in a form satisfactory to us.
New Contract Owner Categories
Category 1. If your spouse (or Annuitant’s spouse in the case of a grantor trust-owned Contract) is the sole New Contract Owner of the entire Contract, your spouse must choose from among the death settlement Options A, B, C, D, or E described below. If he or she does not choose one of these Options, then Option D will apply. Note that if you elected to receive required minimum distributions under a Minimum Distribution Option, the program will be discontinued upon receipt of notification of death. The final required minimum distribution must be distributed prior to establishing a beneficiary payment option for the balance of the Contract.
Category 2. If the New Contract Owner is a living person who is not your spouse (or Annuitant’s spouse in the case of a grantor trust-owned Contract), or there is more than one New Contract Owner, all of whom are living persons, each New Contract Owner must choose from among the death settlement Options A, B, C, or E described below. If a New Contract Owner does not choose one of these Options, then Option C will apply for that New Contract Owner.
Category 3. If there are one or more New Contract Owner(s) and at least one of the New Contract Owners is a non-living person such as a corporation or a trust, all New Contract Owners are considered to be non-living persons for purposes of the death settlement options. Each New Contract Owner must choose death settlement Option A or C described below. If a New Contract Owner does not choose one of these Options, then Option C will apply for that New Contract Owner. The death settlement options we currently offer are:
79
Option A. The New Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum.
Option B. The New Contract Owner may elect to apply the Death Proceeds to one of the Income Plans described above. Such income payments must begin within one year of the date of death and must be payable:
• | Over the life of the New Contract Owner; or |
• | For a guaranteed payment period of at least 5 years (60 months), but not to exceed the life expectancy of the New Contract Owner; or |
• | Over the life of the New Contract Owner with a guaranteed payment period of at least 5 years (60 months), but not to exceed the life expectancy of the New Contract Owner. |
Option C. The New Contract Owner may elect to receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of the date of death. The Contract Value, as of the date we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement, will be reset to equal the Death Proceeds as of that date. Any excess amount of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value on that date will be allocated to the Putnam VT Government Money Market – Class IB Sub-Account unless the New Contract Owner provides other allocation instructions. If we do not receive instructions on where to send the payment within 5 years of the date of death, the funds will be escheated.
The New Contract Owner may not make any additional purchase payments under this option. Withdrawal charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during the 5-year period after the date of death; however, amounts withdrawn may be subject to Market Value Adjustments. The New Contract Owner may exercise all rights set forth in the Transfers provision.
If the New Contract Owner dies before the Contract Value is completely withdrawn, the New Contract Owner’s Beneficiary(ies) will receive the greater of the remaining Settlement Value or the remaining Contract Value within 5 years of the date of the original Contract Owner’s death.
Option D. The New Contract Owner may elect to continue the Contract in the Accumulation Phase. If the Contract Owner was also the Annuitant, then the New Contract Owner will be the new Annuitant. This Option may only be exercised once per Contract. The Contract Value, as of the date we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement, will be reset to equal the Death Proceeds as of that date.
Unless otherwise instructed by the continuing spouse, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. This excess will be allocated in proportion to your Contract Value in those Sub-Accounts as of the end of the Valuation Date that we receive the complete request for settlement except that any portion of this excess attributable to the Fixed Account Options will be allocated to the Putnam VT Government Money Market – Class IB Sub-Account.
Within 30 days after the date we determine the Death Proceeds, the New Contract Owner may make a one-time transfer of all or a portion of the excess of the Death Proceeds, if any, into any combination of Variable Sub-Accounts, the Standard Fixed Account and the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account without incurring a transfer fee, provided the investment alternative is available with the Contract at that time. Any such transfer does not count as one of the free transfers allowed each Contract Year and is subject to any minimum allocation amount specified in this Contract.
The New Contract Owner may make a single withdrawal of any amount within one year of the date of your death without incurring a Withdrawal Charge; however, the amount withdrawn may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment and a 10% tax penalty if the New Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2.
Option E. For Nonqualified Contracts, the New Contract Owner may elect to make withdrawals at least annually of amounts equal to the “Annual Required Distribution” calculated for each calendar year. The first such withdrawal must occur within:
• | One year of the date of death; |
• | The same calendar year as the date we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement; and |
• | One withdrawal frequency. |
The New Contract Owner must select the withdrawal frequency (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual). Once this option is elected and frequency of withdrawals is chosen, they cannot be changed by the New Contract Owner and become irrevocable.
In the calendar year in which the Death Proceeds are determined, the Annual Required Distribution is equal to the Contract Value on the date of the first distribution divided by the “Life Expectancy” of the New Contract Owner and the result multiplied by a fraction that represents the portion of the calendar year remaining after the date of the first distribution. (The Contract Value, as of the date we receive the Complete Request for Settlement, will be reset to equal the Death Proceeds as of that date. The Contract Value on the date of the first distribution may be more or less than the Contract Value as of the date we receive the Complete Request for Settlement.) The Life Expectancy in that calendar year is equal to the life expectancy value from IRS Tables based on the age of the New Contract Owner as of his or her birthday in the same calendar year.
80
In any subsequent calendar year, the Annual Required Distribution is equal to the Contract Value as of December 31 of the prior year divided by the remaining Life Expectancy of the New Contract Owner. In each calendar year after the calendar year in which the first distribution occurred, the Life Expectancy of the New Contract Owner is the Life Expectancy calculated in the previous calendar year minus one (1) year. If the Life Expectancy is less than one (1), the Annual Required Distribution is equal to the Contract Value.
If the New Contract Owner dies before the Contract Value is completely withdrawn, the scheduled withdrawals will continue to be paid to the New Contract Owner’s Beneficiary(ies). The Contract Value invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be subject to investment risk until it is withdrawn.
We reserve the right to offer additional death settlement options.
Death of Annuitant
If the Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date, then the surviving Contract Owners will have the Options available to the New Contract Owner, determined by the applicable following category in which the New Contract Owner is defined, unless:
• | The Annuitant was also the Contract Owner, in which case the Death of Owner provisions above apply; or |
• | The Contract Owner is a grantor trust not established by a business, in which case the Beneficiary(ies) will be deemed the New Contract Owners and the Death of Contract Owner provisions above will apply. |
Surviving Contract Owner Categories
Category 1. If the Contract Owner is a living person, prior to the Annuitant’s death, the Contract Owner must choose from among the death settlement Options A, B, or D described below. If the Contract Owner does not choose one of these Options, then Option D will apply.
Category 2. If the Contract Owner is a non-living person such as a corporation or a trust, the Contract Owner must choose from death settlement Options A or C described below. If the Contract Owner does not choose one of these Options, then Option C will apply.
The death settlement options we currently offer are:
Option A. The Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum.
Option B. The Contract Owner may elect to apply the Death Proceeds to one of the Income Plans described above. Such income payments must begin within one year of the date of death.
Option C. The Contract Owner may elect to receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of the date of death. The Contract Value, as of the date we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement, will be reset to equal the Death Proceeds as of that date. Any excess amount of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value on that date will be allocated to the Putnam VT Government Money Market – Class IB Sub-Account unless the Contract Owner provides other allocation instructions.
The Contract Owner may not make any additional purchase payments under this option. Withdrawal charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during the 5-year period after the date of death; however, amounts withdrawn may be subject to Market Value Adjustments. The Contract Owner may exercise all rights set forth in the Transfers provision.
Option D. The Contract Owner may elect to continue the Contract and the youngest Contract Owner will become the new Annuitant. The Contract Value of the continued Contract will not be adjusted to equal the Death Proceeds.
We reserve the right to offer additional death settlement options.
Qualified Contracts
The death settlement options for Qualified Contracts, including IRAs, may be different to conform with the individual tax requirements of each type of Qualified Contract. Please refer to your Endorsement for IRAs or 403(b) plans, if applicable, for additional information on your death settlement options. In the case of certain Qualified Plans, the terms of the Qualified Plan Endorsement and the plans may govern the right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option and Death of Co-Annuitant
We offer a Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option that may be added to your Contract subject to the following conditions:
• | The individually owned Contract must be either a traditional, Roth, or Simplified Employee Pension IRA. |
• | The Contract Owner’s spouse must be the sole Primary Beneficiary of the Contract and will be the named Co-Annuitant. |
• | The Contract Owner must be age 90 or younger on the Rider Application Date; and the Co-Annuitant must be age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. |

• | On or after May 1, 2005, the Option may be added only when we issue the Contract or within 6 months of the Contract Owner’s marriage. You may not add the Option to your Contract without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the Option. We may require proof of marriage in a form satisfactory to us. |
Under the Spousal Protection Benefit Option, the Co-Annuitant will be considered to be an Annuitant under the Contract during the Accumulation Phase except that the “Death of Annuitant” provision does not apply on the death of the Co-Annuitant, and the latest Payout Start Date will be based solely on the Contract Owner’s age.
You may change the Co-Annuitant to a new spouse only if you provide proof of remarriage in a form satisfactory to us. Once we accept a change, the change will take effect on the date you signed the request. Each change is subject to any payment we make or other action we take before we accept it. At any time, there may be only one Co-Annuitant under your Contract.
There is an annual Rider Fee of 0.10% of the Contract Value for new Options added on or after January 1, 2005. For Options added prior to this date, there is no charge for this Option. We reserve the right to assess an annual Rider Fee not to exceed 0.15% for Options added in the future. Once this Option is added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase what we charge you for this Option. For Contracts purchased on or after January 1, 2005, we may discontinue offering the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option at any time prior to the time you elect to receive it.
The option will terminate upon the date termination is accepted by us or will terminate on the earliest of the following occurrences:
• | upon the death of the Co-Annuitant (as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds); |
• | upon the death of the Contract Owner (as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds); |
• | on the date the Contract is terminated; |
• | on the Payout Start Date; or |
• | on the date you change the beneficiary of the Contract and the change is accepted by us; |
• | for options added on or after January 1, 2005, the Owner may terminate the option upon the divorce of the Owner and the Co-Annuitant by providing written notice and proof of divorce in a form satisfactory to us; |
• | for options added prior to January 1, 2005, the Owner may terminate this option at any time by written notice in a form satisfactory to us. |
Once terminated, a new Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option cannot be added to the Contract unless the last Option attached to the Contract was terminated due to divorce or a change of beneficiary.
Death of Co-Annuitant. If the Co-Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date, subject to the following conditions, the Contract will be continued according to Option D under the “Death of Owner” provision of your Contract:
• | The Co-Annuitant must have been your legal spouse on the date of his or her death; and |
• | Option D of the “Death of Owner” provision of your Contract has not previously been exercised. |
The Contract may only be continued once under Option D under the “Death of Owner” provision. For a description of Option D, see the “Death of Owner” section of this prospectus.

More Information
ALLSTATE
Allstate Life is the issuer of the Contract. Allstate Life was organized in 1957 as a stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Illinois.
Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Illinois. All of the capital stock issued and outstanding of Allstate Insurance Company is owned by Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC, which is wholly owned by The Allstate Corporation.
Allstate Life is licensed to operate in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all jurisdictions except the State of New York. We intend to offer the Contract in those jurisdictions in which we are licensed. Our home office is located at 3075 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois, 60062.
Effective June 1, 2006, Allstate Life entered into an agreement (“the Agreement”) with Prudential Financial, Inc. and its subsidiary, The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) pursuant to which Allstate Life sold, through a combination of coinsurance and modified coinsurance reinsurance, substantially all of its variable annuity business. Pursuant to the Agreement Allstate Life and PICA also entered into an administrative services agreement which provides that PICA or an affiliate administer the Variable Account and the Contracts. The benefits and provisions of the Contracts have not been changed by these transactions and agreements. None of the transactions or agreements have changed the fact that we are primarily liable to you under your Contract.
Allstate Life or the principal underwriter of the Contracts, Allstate Distributors, receives compensation from the investment advisers, administrators or distributors, or their affiliates, of the Portfolios in connection with the administrative, distribution (12b-1), or other services Allstate Distributors or we provide to the Portfolios. We collect this compensation under agreements between us and the Portfolio’s investment adviser, administrators or distributors, and is calculated based on a percentage of the average assets allocated to the Portfolio.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT
Allstate Life established the Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I (“Variable Account”) in 1999. The Contracts were previously issued through Allstate Life Insurance Company Separate Account A. Effective May 1, 2004, the Variable Account combined with Allstate Life Insurance Company Separate Account A and consolidated duplicative Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in the same Portfolio (the “Consolidation”). The Accumulation Unit Values for the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you invest did not change as a result of the Consolidation, and your Contract Value immediately after the Consolidation was the same as the value immediately before the Consolidation. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable Account or Allstate Life.
We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated asset account under Illinois law. That means we account for the Variable Account’s income, gains and losses separately from the results of our other operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations. Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of Allstate Life.
The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.
THE PORTFOLIOS
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions. We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions from the Portfolios in shares of the distributing Portfolios at their net asset value.
Voting Privileges. As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote the shares of the Portfolios held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have allocated your Contract Value. Under current law, however, you are entitled to give us instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. Based on our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the Portfolios that we
84
hold directly or indirectly through the Variable Account in accordance with instructions that we receive from Contract Owners entitled to give such instructions.
As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract Owner or anyone with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record date of the meeting. After the Payout Start Date the person receiving income payments has the voting interest. The payee’s number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. The votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract decrease.
We will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which we have not received instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon on a pro-rata basis to reduce the votes eligible to be cast.
We reserve the right to vote Portfolio shares as we see fit without regard to voting instructions to the extent permitted by law. If we disregard voting instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.
Changes in Portfolios. If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the Contract, we may eliminate that Portfolio and substitute shares of another eligible investment fund. Any substitution of securities will comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in additional underlying funds. We will notify you in advance of any change.
Conflicts of Interest. Certain of the Portfolios sell their shares to separate accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. It is conceivable that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in the same Portfolio. The board of directors/trustees of these Portfolios monitors for possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Portfolios. Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, the Portfolio’s board of directors/trustees may require a separate account to withdraw its participation in a Portfolio. A Portfolio’s net asset value could decrease if it had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate account withdrawing because of a conflict.
THE CONTRACT
Distribution. Allstate Distributors, L.L.C., located at 3075 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL 60062, is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Contract. Allstate Distributors is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life. Allstate Distributors is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).
Allstate Distributors does not sell Contracts directly to purchasers. Allstate Distributors enters into selling agreements with affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers and banks to sell the Contracts through their registered representatives. The broker-dealers are registered with the SEC and are FINRA member firms. Their registered representatives are also licensed as insurance agents by applicable state insurance authorities and appointed as agents of Allstate Life in order to sell the Contracts. Contracts also may be sold by representatives or employees of banks that may be acting as broker-dealers without separate registration under the Exchange Act, pursuant to legal and regulatory exceptions.
We will pay commissions to broker-dealers and banks which sell the Contracts. Commissions paid vary, but we may pay up to a maximum sales commission of 7.5% of total purchase payments. In addition, we may pay ongoing annual compensation of up to 1.25% of Contract Value. Individual representatives receive a portion of compensation paid to the broker-dealer or bank with which they are associated in accordance with the broker dealer’s or bank’s practices. We estimate that commissions and annual compensation, when combined, will not exceed 8.5% of total purchase payments. However, commissions and annual compensation could exceed that amount because ongoing annual compensation is related to Contract Value and the number of years the Contract is held.
From time to time, we pay asset-based compensation and/or marketing allowances to banks and broker-dealers. These payments vary among individual banks and broker dealers, and the asset-based payments may be up to 0.25% of Contract Value annually. These payments are intended to contribute to the promotion and marketing of the Contracts, and they vary among banks and broker-dealers. The marketing and distribution support services include but are not limited to: (1) placement of the Contracts on a list of preferred or recommended products in the bank’s or broker-dealer’s distribution system; (2) sales promotions with regard to the Contracts; (3) participation in sales conferences; and (4) helping to defray the costs of sales conferences and educational seminars for the bank or broker-dealer’s registered representatives. A list of broker-dealers and banks that Allstate Distributors paid pursuant to such arrangements is provided in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. For a free copy, please write or
85
call us at the address or telephone number listed on the front page of this prospectus, or go to the SEC’s Web site (http://www.sec.gov).
To the extent permitted by FINRA rules and other applicable laws and regulations, we may pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or non-cash compensation. We may not offer the arrangements to all broker-dealers and banks and the terms of the arrangement may differ among broker-dealers and banks.
Individual registered representatives, broker-dealers, banks, and branch managers within some broker-dealers and banks participating in one of these compensation arrangements may receive greater compensation for selling the contract than for selling a different contact that is not eligible for the compensation arrangement. While we take the compensation into account when establishing contract charges, any such compensation will be paid by us or Allstate Distributors and will not result in any additional charge to you. Your registered representative can provide you with more information about the compensation arrangements that apply to the sale of the contract.
Allstate Life does not pay Allstate Distributors a commission for distribution of the Contracts. Allstate Distributors compensates its representatives who act as wholesalers, and their sales management personnel, for Contract sales. This compensation is based on a percentage of premium payments and/or a percentage of Contract Values. The underwriting agreement with Allstate Distributors provides that we will reimburse Allstate Distributors for expenses incurred in distributing the Contracts, including any liability to Contract Owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts issued.
For Allstate Advisor Contracts issued to employees of Allstate Life and certain other eligible organizations, and in lieu of Allstate Life paying any commissions on sales of those Contracts, the Contract Owner will receive a credit of 6% of the amount of each purchase payment that will be applied to each purchase payment. Allstate Life will allocate this credit in the same allocation as your most recent instruction. If you exercise your Right to Cancel your Contract as described in this prospectus, we will return to you the amount you would have received had there been no credit. Unless we are required by law to return your purchase payments, this amount also will include any charges deducted that reduced your Contract Value prior to cancellation, plus any investment gain on the credit. The credit may not be available in all states. We do not consider the credit to be an “investment in the contract” for income tax purposes. The amount you receive will be less applicable federal and state income tax withholding.
Administration. We have primary responsibility for all administration of the Contracts and the Variable Account. We entered into an administrative services agreement with The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) whereby, PICA or an affiliate provides administrative services to the Variable Account and the Contracts on our behalf. In addition, PICA entered into a master services agreement with se2, LLC, of 5801 SW 6th Avenue, Topeka, Kansas 66636, whereby se2, LLC provides certain business process outsourcing services with respect to the Contracts. se2, LLC may engage other service providers to provide certain administrative functions. These service providers may change over time, and as of December 31, 2018, consisted of the following: NTT DATA, Inc. (administrative services) located at 100 City Square, Boston, MA 02129; RR Donnelley (compliance printing and mailing) located at 35 West Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601; Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC (f/k/a Stacks LLC) (file storage and document destruction) located at 1 Federal Street, Boston, MA 02110; TierPoint, LLC (f/k/a Co- Sentry.net, LLC) (back-up printing and disaster recovery) located at 9394 West Dodge Rd, Suite 100, Omaha, NE 68114; SOVOS Compliance (f/k/a Convey Compliance Systems, Inc.)

In administering the Contracts, the following services are provided, among others:
• | maintenance of Contract Owner records; |
• | Contract Owner services; |
• | calculation of unit values; |
• | maintenance of the Variable Account; and |
• | preparation of Contract Owner reports. |
We will send you Contract statements at least annually. We will also send you transaction confirmations. You should notify us promptly in writing of any address change. You should read your statements and confirmations carefully and verify their accuracy. You should contact us promptly if you have a question about a periodic statement or a confirmation. We will investigate all complaints and make any necessary adjustments retroactively, but you must notify us of a potential error within a reasonable time after the date of the questioned statement. If you wait too long, we will make the adjustment as of the date that we receive notice of the potential error.
86
Correspondence sent by regular mail to our Annuity Service Center should be sent to the address shown above. Your correspondence will be picked up at this address and then delivered to our Annuity Service Center. Your correspondence is not considered received by us until it is received at our Annuity Service Center. Where this prospectus refers to the day when we receive a purchase payment, request, election, notice, transfer or any other transaction request from you, we mean the day on which that item (or the last requirement needed for us to process that item) arrives in complete and proper form at our Annuity Service Center or via the appropriate telephone or fax number if the item is a type we accept by those means. There are two main exceptions: if the item arrives at our Annuity Service Center (1) on a day that is not a business day, or (2) after the close of a business day, then, in each case, we are deemed to have received that item on the next business day.
We will also provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.
We provide information about cyber security risks associated with this Annuity in the Statement of Additional Information.
ANNUITIES HELD WITHIN A QUALIFIED PLAN
If you use the Contract within an employer sponsored qualified retirement plan, the plan may impose different or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waivers of withdrawal charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if Qualified Plan limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your Qualified Plan administrator for more information. Allstate Life no longer issues deferred annuities to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Separate Account is a party. Allstate Life is engaged from time to time in routine lawsuits, which, in management’s judgment, are not likely to have a material effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on the operating results, cash flows or financial position of Allstate Life.
LEGAL MATTERS
All matters of Illinois law pertaining to the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and Allstate Life’s right to issue such Contracts under Illinois insurance law, have been passed upon by Angela K. Fontana, General Counsel of Allstate Life.
Taxes
The following discussion is general and is not intended as tax advice. Allstate Life makes no guarantee regarding the tax treatment of any Contract or transaction involving a Contract.
Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances. If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard to your individual circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.
TAXATION OF ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Allstate Life is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of Subchapter L of the Code. Since the Variable Account is not an entity separate from Allstate Life, and its operations form a part of Allstate Life, it will not be taxed separately. Investment income and realized capital gains of the Variable Account are automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract. Under existing federal income tax law, Allstate Life believes that the Variable Account investment income and capital gains will not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase the reserves under the Contract. Accordingly, Allstate Life does not anticipate that it will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the Variable Account, and therefore Allstate Life does not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. Allstate Life will periodically review the issue of charging for taxes on investment income or capital gains of the Variable Account, and may impose a charge against the Variable Account in order to make provision for such taxes.
TAXATION OF VARIABLE ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
Tax Deferral. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:
• | the Contract Owner is a natural person, |
• | the investments of the Variable Account are “adequately diversified” according to Treasury Department regulations, and |
• | Allstate Life is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal income tax purposes. |
Non-Natural Owners. Non-natural owners are also referred to as Non Living Owners in this prospectus. As a general rule, annuity contracts owned by non-natural persons such as corporations, trusts, or other entities are not treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. The income on such contracts does not enjoy tax deferral and is taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the non-natural owner during the taxable year.
87
Exceptions to the Non-Natural Owner Rule. There are several exceptions to the general rule that annuity contracts held by a non-natural owner are not treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. Contracts will generally be treated as held by a natural person if the nominal owner is a trust or other entity which holds the contract as agent for a natural person. However, this special exception will not apply in the case of an employer who is the nominal owner of an annuity contract under a non-Qualified deferred compensation arrangement for its employees. Other exceptions to the non-natural owner rule are: (1) contracts acquired by an estate of a decedent by reason of the death of the decedent; (2) certain qualified contracts; (3) contracts purchased by employers upon the termination of certain Qualified Plans; (4) certain contracts used in connection with structured settlement agreements; and (5) immediate annuity contracts, purchased with a single premium, when the annuity starting date is no later than a year from purchase of the annuity and substantially equal periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the annuity period.
Trusts are required to complete and submit a Certificate of Entity form, and we will tax report based on the information provided on this form.
Grantor Trust Owned Annuity. Contracts owned by a grantor trust are considered owned by a non-natural owner. Grantor trust owned contracts receive tax deferral as described in the Exceptions to the Non-Natural Owner Rule section. In accordance with the Code, upon the death of the annuitant, the death benefit must be paid. According to your Contract, the Death Benefit is paid to the beneficiary. A trust named beneficiary, including a grantor trust, has two options for receiving any death benefits: 1) a lump sum payment, or 2) payment deferred up to five years from date of death.
Diversification Requirements. For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Variable Account must be “adequately diversified” consistent with standards under Treasury Department regulations. If the investments in the Variable Account are not adequately diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable year. Although Allstate Life does not have control over the Portfolios or their investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.
Ownership Treatment. The IRS has stated that a contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if he possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which investor control of the separate account investments may cause a Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account.
Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in private and published rulings in which it found that Contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, if your contract offers more than twenty (20) investment alternatives you have the choice to allocate premiums and contract values among a broader selection of investment alternatives than described in such rulings. You may be able to transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings. These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Variable Account assets would be includible in your gross income. Allstate Life does not know what standards will be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However, we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.
Cost Basis. Generally, the cost basis in an annuity not associated with a qualified retirement plan is the amount you pay into your annuity, or into annuity exchanged for your annuity, on an after-tax basis less any withdrawals of such payments. Cost basis for a qualified retirement plan is provided only in limited circumstances, such as for contributions to a Roth IRA or nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA. We do not track cost basis for qualified retirement plans, which is the responsibility of the Contract Owner.
Taxation of Partial and Full Withdrawals. If you make a partial withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount you receive will be taxed as ordinary income, rather than as return of cost basis, until all gain has been withdrawn. If you make a full withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount received will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the cost basis in the Contract. An exception to this treatment exists for contracts purchased prior to August 14, 1982. Withdrawals are treated as a return of cost basis in the Annuity first until Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982 are withdrawn. Moreover, income allocable to Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982, is not subject to the 10% tax penalty.
Taxation of Annuity Payments. Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity payments received from a Non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your cost basis in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period. The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio of the cost basis in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or period certain) to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from taxable income is determined by dividing the cost basis in the Contract by the total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable after the total amount of the cost basis in the Contract is excluded using these ratios. If any variable payment is less than the
88
excludable amount you should contact a competent tax advisor to determine how to report any unrecovered investment. The federal tax treatment of annuity payments is unclear in some respects. As a result, if the IRS should provide further guidance, it is possible that the amount we calculate and report to the IRS as taxable could be different. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the cost basis in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount may be allowed as a deduction for your last taxable year. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, this deduction is suspended until after 2025.
Maximum Annuity Date. You must commence annuity payments no later than the first day of the calendar month following the maximum Annuity Date for your Annuity. Upon reaching the maximum Annuity Date you can no longer surrender, exchange, or transfer your contract. The maximum Annuity Date may be the same as the Latest Annuity Date as described elsewhere in this prospectus. For some of our Annuities, you can choose to defer the Annuity Date beyond the default or Latest Annuity Date, as applicable, described in your Annuity. However, the IRS may not then consider your Annuity to be an Annuity under the tax law.
Partial Annuitization. An individual may partially annuitize their non-qualified annuity if the contract so permits. The tax law includes a provision which allows for a portion of a non-qualified annuity, endowment or life insurance contract to be annuitized while the balance is not annuitized. The annuitized portion must be paid out over 10 or more years or over the lives of one or more individuals. The annuitized portion of the contract is treated as a separate contract for purposes of determining taxability of the payments under Section 72 of the Code. We do not currently permit partial annuitization.
Taxation of Level Monthly Variable Annuity Payments. You may have an option to elect a variable income payment stream consisting of level monthly payments that are recalculated annually. Although we will report your levelized payments to the IRS in the year distributed, it is possible the IRS could determine that receipt of the first monthly payout of each annual amount is constructive receipt of the entire annual amount. If the IRS were to take this position, the taxable amount of your levelized payments would be accelerated to the time of the first monthly payout and reported in the tax year in which the first monthly payout is received.
Withdrawals After the Payout Start Date. Federal tax law is unclear regarding the taxation of any additional withdrawal received after the Payout Start Date. It is possible that a greater or lesser portion of such a payment could be taxable than the amount we determine.
Distribution at Death Rules. In order to be considered an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Contract must provide:
• | if any Contract Owner dies on or after the Payout Start Date but before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Contract Owner’s death; |
• | if any Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years after the date of the Contract Owner’s death. These requirements are satisfied if any portion of the Contract Owner’s interest that is payable to (or for the benefit of) a designated Beneficiary is distributed over the life of such Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary) and the distributions begin within 1 year of the Contract Owner’s death. If the Contract Owner’s designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the Contract Owner, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Contract Owner; |
• | if the Contract Owner is a non-natural person, then the Annuitant will be treated as the Contract Owner for purposes of applying the distribution at death rules. In addition, a change in the Annuitant on a Contract owned by a non-natural person will be treated as the death of the Contract Owner. |
Taxation of Annuity Death Benefits. Death Benefit amounts are included in income as follows:
• | if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a total withdrawal, or |
• | if distributed under an Income Plan, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments. |
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, enacted in 2010, included a Medicare tax on investment income. This tax assesses a 3.8% surtax on the lesser of (1) net investment income or (2) the excess of “modified adjusted gross income” over a threshold amount. The “threshold amount” is $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly, $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separately, $200,000 for single taxpayers, and approximately $12,500 for trusts. The taxable portion of payments received as a withdrawal, surrender, annuity payment, death benefit payment or any other actual or deemed distribution under the contract will be considered investment income for purposes of this surtax.
Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract. The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
• | made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2, |
• | made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or becoming totally disabled, |
89
• | made in substantially equal periodic payments (as defined by the Code) over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary, |
• | made under an immediate annuity and the annuity start date is no more than one year from the date of purchase (the first annuity payment must commence within 13 months of the date of purchase), or |
• | attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982. |
You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.
Substantially Equal Periodic Payments. With respect to non-Qualified Contracts using substantially equal periodic payments or immediate annuity payments as an exception to the penalty tax on premature distributions, any additional withdrawal or other material modification of the payment stream would violate the requirement that payments must be substantially equal. Failure to meet this requirement would mean that the income portion of each payment received prior to the later of 5 years or the Contract Owner’s attaining age 59 1/2 would be subject to a 10% penalty tax unless another exception to the penalty tax applied. The tax for the year of the modification is increased by the penalty tax that would have been imposed without the exception, plus interest for the years in which the exception was used. A material modification does not include permitted changes described in published IRS rulings. You should consult a competent tax advisor prior to creating or modifying a substantially equal periodic payment stream.
Special Rules in Relation to Tax-free Exchanges Under Section 1035. Section 1035 of the Code permits certain tax-free exchanges of a life insurance, annuity or endowment contract for an annuity, including tax-free exchanges of annuity death benefits for a Beneficiary Annuity. The contract owner(s) must be the same on the old and new contract. Basis from the old contract carries over to the new contract so long as we receive that information from the relinquishing company. If basis information is never received, we will assume that all exchanged funds represent earnings and will allocate no cost basis to them. After you elect an Income Plan as described in the Income Payments section earlier in the prospectus, you are not eligible for a tax-free exchange under Section 1035.
Partial Exchanges. The IRS has issued rulings that permit partial exchanges of annuity contracts. Effective for exchanges on or after October 24, 2011, where there is a surrender or distribution from either the initial annuity contract or receiving annuity contract within 180 days of the date on which the partial exchange was completed, the IRS will apply general tax rules to determine the substance and treatment of the original transfer.
If a partial exchange is retroactively negated, the amount originally transferred to the recipient contract is treated as a withdrawal from the source contract, taxable to the extent of any gain in that contract on the date of the exchange. An additional 10% tax penalty may also apply if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. Your Contract may not permit partial exchanges.
Taxation of Ownership Changes. If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration to a person other than your spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Any assignment or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is taxed as a withdrawal of such amount or portion and may also incur the 10% penalty tax.
Aggregation of Annuity Contracts. The Code requires that all non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by Allstate Life (or its affiliates) to the same Contract Owner during any calendar year be aggregated and treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Generally, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% from all non-annuitized distributions. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made or no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided we will automatically withhold the required 10% of the taxable amount. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax using the wage withholding rates for all annuitized distributions. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold using married with three exemptions as the default. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer requests payment be made to a U.S. address and provides a taxpayer identification number.
Generally, Code Section 1441 provides that Allstate Life as a withholding agent must withhold 30% of the taxable amounts paid to a non-resident alien. A non-resident alien is someone other than a U.S. citizen or resident alien. We require an original IRS Form W-8(BEN, BEN-E, EXP, ECI, IMY) (Generally a Form W-8BEN is the appropriate form) at issue to certify the owners’ foreign status. Withholding may be reduced or eliminated if covered by an income tax treaty between the U.S. and the non-resident alien’s country of residence if the payee provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number on a fully completed Form W-8(BEN, BEN-E, EXP, ECI, IMY). A U.S. taxpayer identification number is a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”). ITINs are
90
issued by the IRS to non-resident alien individuals who are not eligible to obtain a social security number. The U.S. does not have a tax treaty with all countries nor do all tax treaties provide an exclusion or lower withholding rate for annuities.
TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
The income on tax sheltered annuity (TSA) and IRA investments is tax deferred, and the income from annuities held by such plans does not receive any additional tax deferral. You should review the annuity features, including all benefits and expenses, prior to purchasing an annuity as a TSA or IRA. Tax Qualified Contracts are contracts purchased as or in connection with:
• | Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) under Code Section 408(b); |
• | Roth IRAs under Code Section 408A; |
• | Simplified Employee Pension (SEP IRA) under Code Section 408(k); |
• | Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA) under Code Section 408(p); |
• | Tax Sheltered Annuities under Code Section 403(b); |
• | Corporate and Self Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans under Code Section 401; and |
• | State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation Plans under Code Section 457. |
Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the retirement plans listed above or to modify the Contract to conform with tax requirements. If you use the Contract within an employer sponsored qualified retirement plan, the plan may impose different or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waiver of charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if Qualified Plan limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your Qualified Plan administrator for more information. Allstate Life no longer issues deferred annuities to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
The tax rules applicable to participants with tax qualified annuities vary according to the type of contract and the terms and conditions of the endorsement. Adverse tax consequences may result from certain transactions such as excess contributions, premature distributions, and, distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules. Allstate Life can issue an individual retirement annuity on a rollover or transfer of proceeds from a decedent’s IRA, TSA, or employer sponsored retirement plan under which the decedent’s surviving spouse is the beneficiary. Allstate Life does not offer an individual retirement annuity that can accept a transfer of funds for any other, non-spousal, beneficiary of a decedent’s IRA, TSA, or employer sponsored qualified retirement plan. Note that in 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Inherited IRAs, other than IRAs inherited by the owner’s spouse, do not qualify as retirement assets for purposes of protection under the federal bankruptcy laws.
Please refer to your Endorsement for IRAs or 403(b) plans, if applicable, for additional information on your death settlement options. In the case of certain Qualified Plans, the terms of the Qualified Plan Endorsement and the plans may govern the right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
Taxation of Withdrawals from an Individually Owned Tax Qualified Contract. If you make a partial withdrawal under a Tax Qualified Contract other than a Roth IRA, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio to the total payment that the investment in the Contract (i.e., nondeductible IRA contributions) bears to the Contract Value, is excluded from your income. We do not keep track of nondeductible contributions, and generally all tax reporting of distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts other than Roth IRAs will indicate that the distribution is fully taxable.
“Qualified distributions” from Roth IRAs are not included in gross income. “Qualified distributions” are any distributions made more than five taxable years after the taxable year of the first contribution to any Roth IRA and which are:
• | made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2, |
• | made to a beneficiary after the Contract Owner’s death, |
• | attributable to the Contract Owner being disabled, or |
• | made for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000). |
“Nonqualified distributions” from Roth IRAs are treated as made from contributions first and are included in gross income only to the extent that distributions exceed contributions.
Required Minimum Distributions. Generally, Tax Qualified Contracts (excluding Roth IRAs) require minimum distributions upon reaching age 70 1/2. Failure to withdraw the required minimum distribution will result in a 50% tax penalty on the shortfall not withdrawn from the Contract. Effective December 31, 2005, the IRS requires annuity contracts to include the actuarial present value of other benefits for purposes of calculating the required minimum distribution amount. These other benefits may include accumulation, income, or death benefits. Not all income plans offered under the Contract satisfy the requirements for minimum distributions. Because these distributions are required under the Code and the method of calculation is complex, please see a competent tax advisor.
91
The Death Benefit and Tax Qualified Contracts. Pursuant to the Code and IRS regulations, an IRA (e.g., traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA and SIMPLE IRA) may not invest in life insurance contracts. However, an IRA may provide a death benefit that equals the greater of the purchase payments or the Contract Value. The Contract offers a death benefit that in certain circumstances may exceed the greater of the purchase payments or the Contract Value. We believe that the Death Benefits offered by your Contract do not constitute life insurance under these regulations.
It is also possible that certain death benefits that offer enhanced earnings could be characterized as an incidental death benefit. If the death benefit were so characterized, this could result in current taxable income to a Contract Owner. In addition, there are limitations on the amount of incidental death benefits that may be provided under Qualified Plans, such as in connection with a TSA or employer sponsored qualified retirement plan.
Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the Qualified Plans listed above.
Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a Tax Qualified Contract. The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
• | made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2, |
• | made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or total disability, |
• | made in substantially equal periodic payments (as defined by the Code) over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary, |
• | made after separation from service after age 55 (does not apply to IRAs), |
• | made pursuant to an IRS levy, |
• | made for certain medical expenses, |
• | made to pay for health insurance premiums while unemployed (applies only for IRAs), |
• | made for qualified higher education expenses (applies only for IRAs) |
• | made for a first time home purchase (up to a $10,000 lifetime limit and applies only for IRAs), and |
• | from an IRA or attributable to elective deferrals under a 401(k) plan, 403(b) annuity, or certain similar arrangements made to individuals who (because of their being members of a reserve component) are ordered or called to active duty after Sept. 11, 2001, for a period of more than 179 days or for an indefinite period; and made during the period beginning on the date of the order or call to duty and ending at the close of the active duty period. |
During the first 2 years of the individual’s participation in a SIMPLE IRA, distributions that are otherwise subject to the premature distribution penalty, will be subject to a 25% penalty tax.
You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.
Substantially Equal Periodic Payments on Tax Qualified Contracts. With respect to Tax Qualified Contracts using substantially equal periodic payments as an exception to the penalty tax on premature distributions, any additional withdrawal or other material modification of the payment stream would violate the requirement that payments must be substantially equal. Failure to meet this requirement would mean that the income portion of each payment received prior to the later of 5 years or the taxpayer’s attaining age 59 1/2 would be subject to a 10% penalty tax unless another exception to the penalty tax applied. The tax for the year of the modification is increased by the penalty tax that would have been imposed without the exception, plus interest for the years in which the exception was used. A material modification does not include permitted changes described in published IRS rulings. You should consult a competent tax advisor prior to creating or modifying a substantially equal periodic payment stream.
Income Tax Withholding on Tax Qualified Contracts. Generally, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% from all non-annuitized distributions that are not considered “eligible rollover distributions.” The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made or if no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold the required 10% from the taxable amount. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory. Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 20% on all “eligible rollover distributions” unless you elect to make a “direct rollover” of such amounts to an IRA or eligible retirement plan. Eligible rollover distributions generally include all distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts, including TSAs but excluding IRAs, with the exception of:
• | required minimum distributions, or, |
• | a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at least 10 years, or, |
• | a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and beneficiary), or, |
92
• | hardship distributions. |
With respect to any Contract held under a Section 457 plan or by the trustee of a Section 401 Pension or Profit Sharing Plan, we will not issue payments directly to a plan participant or beneficiary. Consequently, the obligation to comply with the withholding requirements described above will be the responsibility of the plan.
For all annuitized distributions that are not subject to the 20% withholding requirement, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax using the wage withholding rates. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold using married with three exemptions as the default. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer requests payment be made to a U.S. address and provides a taxpayer identification number.
Generally, Code Section 1441 provides that Allstate Life as a withholding agent must withhold 30% of the taxable amounts paid to a non-resident alien. A non-resident alien is someone other than a U.S. citizen or resident alien. We require an original IRS Form W-8 at issue to certify the owners’ foreign status. Withholding may be reduced or eliminated if covered by an income tax treaty between the U.S. and the non-resident alien’s country of residence if the payee provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number on a fully completed Form W-8(BEN,BEN-E,EXP,ECI,IMY) (Generally a Form W-8BEN is the appropriate form). A U.S. taxpayer identification number is a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”). ITINs are issued by the IRS to non-resident alien individuals who are not eligible to obtain a social security number. The U.S. does not have a tax treaty with all countries nor do all tax treaties provide an exclusion or lower withholding rate for annuities.
Charitable IRA Distributions. Certain qualified IRA distributions for charitable purposes are eligible for an exclusion from gross income, up to $100,000 for otherwise taxable IRA distributions from a traditional or Roth IRA. A qualified charitable distribution is a distribution that is made (1) directly by the IRA trustee to certain qualified charitable organizations and (2) on or after the date the IRA owner attains age 70 1/2. Distributions that are excluded from income under this provision are not taken into account in determining the individual’s deductions, if any, for charitable contributions.
The IRS has indicated that an IRA trustee is not responsible for determining whether a distribution to a charity is one that satisfies the requirements of the charitable giving incentive. Consistent with the applicable IRS instructions, we report these distributions as normal IRA distributions on Form 1099-R. Individuals are responsible for reflecting the distributions as charitable IRA distributions on their personal tax returns.
Individual Retirement Annuities. Code Section 408(b) permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA). Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence. Certain distributions from other types of qualified retirement plans may be “rolled over” on a tax-deferred basis into an Individual Retirement Annuity. For IRA rollovers, an individual can only make an IRA to IRA rollover if the individual has not made a rollover involving any IRAs owned by the individual in the prior 12 months. An IRA transfer is a tax-free trustee-to-trustee “transfer” from one IRA account to another. IRA transfers are not subject to this 12-month rule.
Roth Individual Retirement Annuities. Code Section 408A permits eligible individuals to make nondeductible contributions to an individual retirement program known as a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity. Roth Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence.
A traditional Individual Retirement Account or Annuity may be converted or “rolled over” to a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity. The tax law allows distributions from qualified retirement plans including tax sheltered annuities and governmental Section 457 plans to be rolled over directly into a Roth IRA, subject to the usual rules that apply to conversions from a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. The income portion of a conversion or rollover distribution is taxable currently, but is exempted from the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions. Effective January 1, 2005, the IRS requires conversions of annuity contracts to include the actuarial present value of other benefits for purposes of valuing the taxable amount of the conversion.
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, you may no longer recharacterize a conversion to a Roth IRA. It is still permissible to recharacterize a contribution made to a Roth IRA as a traditional IRA contribution, or a contribution to a traditional IRA as a Roth IRA contribution. Such recharacterization must be completed by the applicable tax return due date (with extensions).
Annuities Held By Individual Retirement Accounts (commonly known as Custodial IRAs). Code Section 408 permits a custodian or trustee of an Individual Retirement Account to purchase an annuity as an investment of the Individual Retirement Account. If an annuity is purchased inside of an Individual Retirement Account, then the Annuitant must be the same person as the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account.
If you have a contract issued as an IRA under Code Section 408(b) and request to change the ownership to an IRA custodian permitted under Section 408, we will treat a request to change ownership from an individual to a custodian as an indirect rollover. We will send a Form 1099-R to report the distribution and the custodian should issue a Form 5498 for the contract value contribution.
93
Generally, the death benefit of an annuity held in an Individual Retirement Account must be paid upon the death of the Annuitant. However, in most states, the Contract permits the custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account to continue the Contract in the accumulation phase, with the Annuitant’s surviving spouse as the new Annuitant, if the following conditions are met:
1) | The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account is the owner of the annuity and has the right to the death proceeds otherwise payable under the Contract; |
2) | The deceased Annuitant was the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account; |
3) | We receive a complete request for settlement for the death of the Annuitant; and |
4) | The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account provides us with a signed certification of the following: |
(a) | The Annuitant’s surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary of the Individual Retirement Account; |
(b) | The Annuitant’s surviving spouse has elected to continue the Individual Retirement Account as his or her own Individual Retirement Account; and |
(c) | The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account has continued the Individual Retirement Account pursuant to the surviving spouse’s election. |
Simplified Employee Pension IRA (SEP IRA). Code Section 408(k) allows eligible employers to establish simplified employee pension plans for their employees using individual retirement annuities. These employers may, within specified limits, make deductible contributions on behalf of the employees to the individual retirement annuities. Employers intending to use the Contract in connection with such plans should seek competent tax advice.
Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA). Code Section 408(p) allows eligible employers with 100 or fewer employees to establish SIMPLE retirement plans for their employees using individual retirement annuities. In general, a SIMPLE IRA consists of a salary deferral program for eligible employees and matching or nonelective contributions made by employers. Employers intending to purchase the Contract as a SIMPLE IRA should seek competent tax and legal advice. SIMPLE IRA plans must include the provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2007 (EGTRRA) to avoid adverse tax consequences. If your current SIMPLE IRA plan uses IRS Model Form 5304-SIMPLE with a revision date of March 2012 or later, then your plan is up to date. If your plan has a revision date prior to March 2012, please consult with your tax or legal advisor to determine the action you need to take in order to comply with this requirement.
To determine if you are eligible to contribute to any of the above listed IRAs (traditional, Roth, SEP, or SIMPLE), please refer to IRS Publication 590-A and your competent tax advisor.
Tax Sheltered Annuities. Code Section 403(b) provides tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and educational organizations. Under Section 403(b), any contract used for a 403(b) plan must provide that distributions attributable to salary reduction contributions made after 12/31/88, and all earnings on salary reduction contributions, may be made only on or after the date the employee:
• | attains age 59 1/2, |
• | severs employment, |
• | dies, |
• | becomes disabled, or |
• | incurs a hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be distributed on account of hardship). |
These limitations do not apply to withdrawals where Allstate Life is directed to transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan. Generally, we do not accept funds in 403(b) contracts that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Caution: Under IRS regulations we can accept contributions, transfers and rollovers only if we have entered into an information-sharing agreement, or its functional equivalent, with the applicable employer or its plan administrator. Unless your contract is grandfathered from certain provisions in these regulations, we will only process certain transactions (e.g., transfers, withdrawals, hardship distributions and, if applicable, loans) with employer approval. This means that if you request one of these transactions we will not consider your request to be in good order, and will not therefore process the transaction, until we receive the employer’s approval in written or electronic form.
Corporate and Self-Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans.
Section 401(a) of the Code permits corporate employers to establish various types of tax favored retirement plans for employees. Self-employed individuals may establish tax favored retirement plans for themselves and their employees (commonly referred to as “H.R.10” or “Keogh”). Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of annuity contracts. Allstate Life no longer issues annuity contracts to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
94
There are two owner types for contracts intended to qualify under Section 401(a): a qualified plan fiduciary or an annuitant owner.
• | A qualified plan fiduciary exists when a qualified plan trust that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code is the owner. The qualified plan trust must have its own tax identification number and a named trustee acting as a fiduciary on behalf of the plan. The annuitant should be the person for whose benefit the contract was purchased. |
• | An annuitant owner exists when the tax identification number of the owner and annuitant are the same, or the annuity contract is not owned by a qualified plan trust. The annuitant should be the person for whose benefit the contract was purchased. |
If a qualified plan fiduciary is the owner of the contract, the qualified plan must be the beneficiary so that death benefits from the annuity are distributed in accordance with the terms of the qualified plan. Annuitant owned contracts require that the beneficiary be the annuitant’s spouse (if applicable), which is consistent with the required IRS language for qualified plans under Section 401(a). A completed Annuitant Owned Qualified Plan Designation of Beneficiary form is required in order to change the beneficiary of an annuitant owned Qualified Plan contract.
State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457 of the Code permits employees of state and local governments and tax-exempt organizations to defer a portion of their compensation without paying current taxes. The employees must be participants in an eligible deferred compensation plan. In eligible governmental plans, all assets and income must be held in a trust/ custodial account/annuity contract for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries. To the extent the Contracts are used in connection with a non-governmental eligible plan, employees are considered general creditors of the employer and the employer as owner of the Contract has the sole right to the proceeds of the Contract. Under eligible 457 plans, contributions made for the benefit of the employees will not be includible in the employees’ gross income until distributed from the plan. Allstate Life no longer issues annuity contracts to 457 plans.
Late Rollover Self-Certification. You may be able to apply a rollover contribution to your IRA or qualified retirement plan after the 60-day deadline through a self-certification procedure established by the IRS. Please consult your tax or legal adviser regarding your eligibility to use this self-certification procedure. As indicated in this IRS guidance, we, as a financial institution, are not required to accept your self-certification for waiver of the 60-day deadline.
ERISA Requirements
ERISA (the “Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974”) and the Code prevent a fiduciary and other “parties in interest” with respect to a plan (and, for these purposes, an IRA would also constitute a “plan”) from receiving any benefit from any party dealing with the plan, as a result of the sale of the Annuity. Administrative exemptions under ERISA generally permit the sale of insurance/annuity products to plans, provided that certain information is disclosed to the person purchasing the Annuity. This information has to do primarily with the fees, charges, discounts and other costs related to the Annuity, as well as any commissions paid to any agent selling the Annuity. Information about any applicable fees, charges, discounts, penalties or adjustments may be found in the applicable sections of this prospectus. Information about sales representatives and commissions may be found in the sections of this prospectus addressing distribution of the Annuities.
Other relevant information required by the exemptions is contained in the contract and accompanying documentation.
Please consult with your tax adviser if you have any questions about ERISA and these disclosure requirements.
Spousal Consent Rules for Retirement Plans - Qualified Annuities
If you are married at the time your payments commence, you may be required by federal law to choose an income option that provides survivor annuity income to your spouse, unless your spouse waives that right. Similarly, if you are married at the time of your death, federal law may require all or a portion of the Death Benefit to be paid to your spouse, even if you designated someone else as your Beneficiary. A brief explanation of the applicable rules follows. For more information, consult the terms of your retirement arrangement.
Defined Benefit Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans. If you are married at the time your payments commence, federal law requires that benefits be paid to you in the form of a “qualified joint and survivor annuity” (QJSA), unless you and your spouse waive that right, in writing. Generally, this means that you will receive a reduced payment during your life and, upon your death, your spouse will receive at least one-half of what you were receiving for life. You may elect to receive another income option if your spouse consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QJSA. If your spouse consents to the alternative form of payment, your spouse may not receive any benefits from the plan upon your death. Federal law also requires that the plan pay a Death Benefit to your spouse if you are married and die before you begin receiving your benefit. This benefit must be available in the form of an Annuity for your spouse’s lifetime and is called a “qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity” (QPSA). If the plan pays Death Benefits to other Beneficiaries, you may elect to have a Beneficiary other than your spouse receive the Death Benefit, but only if your spouse consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QPSA. If your spouse consents to the alternate Beneficiary, your spouse will receive no benefits from the plan upon your death. Any QPSA waiver prior to your attaining age 35 will become null and void on the first day of the calendar year in which you attain age 35, if still employed.
Defined Contribution Plans (including 401(k) Plans and ERISA 403(b) Annuities). Spousal consent to a distribution is generally not required. Upon your death, your spouse will receive the entire Death Benefit, even if you designated someone else as your
95
Beneficiary, unless your spouse consents in writing to waive this right. Also, if you are married and elect an Annuity as a periodic income option, federal law requires that you receive a QJSA (as described above), unless you and your spouse consent to waive this right.
IRAs, non-ERISA 403(b) Annuities, and 457 Plans. Spousal consent to a distribution usually is not required. Upon your death, any Death Benefit will be paid to your designated Beneficiary.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Reporting and Withholding for Escheated Amounts
In 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued Revenue Ruling 2018-17, which provides that an amount transferred from an IRA to a state’s unclaimed property fund is subject to federal withholding at the time of transfer. The amount transferred is also subject to federal reporting. Consistent with this Ruling, beginning in 2019, we will withhold federal and state income taxes and report to the applicable Owner or Beneficiary as required by law when amounts are transferred to a state’s unclaimed property fund.
Gifts and Generation-skipping Transfers
If you transfer your Annuity to another person for less than adequate consideration, there may be gift tax consequences in addition to income tax consequences. Also, if you transfer your Annuity to a person two or more generations younger than you (such as a grandchild or grandniece) or to a person that is more than 37½ years younger than you, there may be generation-skipping transfer tax consequences.
Same Sex Marriages, Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships
Prior to a 2013 Supreme Court decision, and consistent with Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same sex marriages under state law were not recognized as same sex marriages for purposes of federal law. However, in United States v. Windsor, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Section 3 of DOMA as unconstitutional, thereby recognizing a valid same sex marriage for federal law purposes. On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry, thus requiring all states to allow same-sex marriage. The Windsor and Obergefell decisions mean that the federal and state tax law provisions applicable to an opposite sex spouse will also apply to a same sex spouse. Please note that a civil union or registered domestic partnership is generally not recognized as a marriage.
Please consult with your tax or legal adviser for additional information.

Appendix B
Market Value Adjustment
The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:
I | = | the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the term length of the Guarantee Period Account for the week preceding the establishment of the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account; |
J | = | the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the term length of the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account for the week preceding the date amounts are transferred or withdrawn from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the date we determine the Death Proceeds, or the Payout Start Date, as the case may be (“Market Value Adjustment Date”). |
N | = | the number of whole and partial years from the Market Value Adjustment Date to the expiration of the term length of the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account. |
Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15. If such yields cease to be available in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15, then we will use an alternate source for such information in our discretion.
The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:
.9 × [I-(J + .0025)] × N
The denominator of the MVA formula includes a factor, currently equal to 0.0025 or 25 basis points. The factor is an adjustment that is applied when an MVA is assessed (regardless of whether the MVA is positive or negative) and, relative to when no factor is applied, will reduce the amount being surrendered or transferred from the MVA Fixed Guarantee Period Account.
To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value Adjustment factor by the amount transferred, withdrawn, paid as Death Proceeds, or applied to an Income Plan from a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account at any time other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period Account expires. NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.

Appendix C
Example of Calculation of Income Protection Benefit
Appendix C illustrates how we calculate the amount guaranteed under the Income Protection Benefit Option. Please remember that you are looking at an example only. Please also remember that the Income Protection Benefit Option may only be added to Income Plans 1 and/or 2, and only to those Income Plans for which you have selected variable income payments.
To illustrate the calculation of the amount guaranteed under the Income Protection Benefit Option, we assume the following:
Adjusted age of Annuitant on the Payout Start Date: | 65 |
Sex of Annuitant: | male |
Income Plan selected: | 1 |
Payment frequency: | monthly |
Amount applied to variable income payments under the Income Plan: | $100,000.00 |
The example assumes that the withdrawal charge period has expired for all purchase payments. In accordance with the terms of the Contract, the following additional assumptions apply:
Assumed investment rate: | 3% |
Guaranteed minimum variable income payment: | 85% of the initial variable amount income value |
Step 1 – Calculation of the initial variable amount income value:
Using the assumptions stated above, the initial monthly income payment is $5.49 per $1,000 applied to variable income payments under Income Plan 1. Therefore, the initial variable amount income value = $100,000 × $5.49/1000 = $549.00.
Step 2 – Calculation of the amount guaranteed under the Income Protection Benefit Option:
guaranteed minimum variable income payment = 85% × initial variable amount income value = 85% × $549.00 = $466.65.
Step 3 – Illustration of the effect of the minimum payment guarantee under the Income Protection Benefit Option:
If in any month your variable income payments would fall below the amount guaranteed under the Income Protection Benefit Option, your payment for that month will equal the guaranteed minimum variable income payment. For example, you would receive $466.65 even if the amount of your monthly income payment would have been less than that as a result of declining investment experience. On the other hand, if your monthly income payment is greater than the minimum guaranteed $466.65, you would receive the greater amount.

Appendix F
Calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit*
The following are examples of the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option. For illustrative purposes, the examples assume Earnings in each case. Please remember that you are looking at examples and that your investment performance may be greater or lower than the figures shown.
Example 1: Elected When Contract Was Issued Without Any Subsequent Additions or Withdrawals
In this example, assume that the oldest Contract Owner is age 55 on the Rider Application Date and elects the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option when the Contract is issued. The Contract Owner makes an initial purchase payment of $100,000. After four years, the Contract Owner dies. On the date Allstate Life receives a Complete Request for Settlement, the Contract Value is $125,000. Prior to his death, the Contract Owner did not make any additional purchase payments or take any withdrawals.
Excess of Earnings Withdrawals | = | $0 |
Purchase Payments in the 12 months prior to death | = | $0 |
In-Force Premium | = | $100,000 ($100,000+ $0-$0) |
In-Force Earnings | = | $25,000 ($125,000-$100,000) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit** | = | 40% * $25,000 = $10,000 |
Since In-Force Earnings are less than 100% of the In-Force Premium (excluding purchase payments and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts in the 12 months prior to death), the In-Force Earnings are used to compute the Earnings Protection Death Benefit amount.
* | For purposes of illustrating the calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values for all Contracts, net of applicable fees and charges. Actual death benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract and the Credit Enhancement available under the Allstate Advisor Plus Contract. |
** | If the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant had been over age 70, and both were age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit would be 25% of the In-Force Earnings ($6,250.00). |
Example 2: Elected When Contract Was Issued With Subsequent Withdrawals
In this example, assume the same facts as above, except that the Contract Owner has taken a withdrawal of $10,000 during the second year of the Contract. Immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Contract Value is $105,000. Here, $5,000 of the withdrawal is in excess of the In-Force Earnings at the time of the withdrawal. The Contract Value on the date Allstate Life receives a Complete Request for Settlement will be assumed to be $114,000.
Excess of Earnings Withdrawals | = | $5,000 ($10,000-$5,000) |
Purchase Payments in the 12 months prior to death | = | $0 |
In-Force Premium | = | $95,000 ($100,000+$0-$5,000) |
In-Force Earnings | = | $19,000 ($114,000-$95,000) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit** | = | 40%*$19,000=$7,600 |
Since In-Force Earnings are less than 100% of the In-Force Premium (excluding purchase payments and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts in the 12 months prior to death), the In-Force Earnings are used to compute the Earnings Protection Death Benefit amount.
* | For purposes of illustrating the calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values for all Contracts, net of applicable fees and charges. Actual death benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract and the Credit Enhancement available under the Allstate Advisor Plus Contract. |
** | If the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant had been over age 70, and both were age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit would be 25% of the In-Force Earnings ($4,750.00). |
F-1
Example 3: Elected After Contract Was Issued With Subsequent Additions and Withdrawals
This example is intended to illustrate the effect of adding the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option after the Contract has been issued and the effect of later purchase payments. In this example, assume that the oldest Contract Owner is age 72 on the Rider Application Date. At the time the Contract is issued, the Contract Owner makes a purchase payment of $100,000. After two years pass, the Contract Owner elects to add the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option. On the date this Rider is added, the Contract Value is $110,000. Two years later, the Contract Owner withdraws $50,000. Immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Contract Value is $130,000. Another two years later, the Contract Owner makes an additional purchase payment of $40,000. Immediately after the additional purchase payment, the Contract Value is $130,000. Two years later, the Contract Owner dies with a Contract Value of $140,000 on the date Allstate Life receives a Complete Request for Settlement.
Excess of Earnings Withdrawals | = | $30,000 ($50,000-$20,000) |
Purchase Payments in the 12 months prior to death | = | $0 |
In-Force Premium | = | $120,000 ($110,000+$40,000-$30,000) |
In-Force Earnings | = | $20,000 ($140,000-$120,000) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit** | = | 25%*$20,000=$5,000 |
In this example, In-Force Premium is equal to the Contract Value on Rider Application Date plus the additional purchase payment and minus the Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawal.
Since In-Force Earnings are less than 50% of the In-Force Premium (excluding purchase payments and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts in the 12 months prior to death ), the In-Force Earnings are used to compute the Earnings Protection Death Benefit amount.
* | For purposes of illustrating the calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values for all Contracts, net of applicable fees and charges. Actual death benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract and the Credit Enhancement available under the Allstate Advisor Plus Contract. |
** | If the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant had been age 70 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit would be 40% of the In-Force Earnings ($8,000.00) and Credit Enhancement for Allstate Advisor Plus Contract. |

This example is intended to illustrate the effect of a surviving spouse electing to continue the Contract upon the death of the Contract Owner on a Contract with the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option. In this example, assume that the oldest Contract Owner is age 60 at the time the Contract is purchased (with the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option and MAV Death Benefit Option) with a $100,000 purchase payment. Five years later the Contract Owner dies and the surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract. The Contract Value and Maximum Anniversary Value at this time are $150,000 and $160,000, respectively.
Excess of Earnings Withdrawals | = | $0 |
Purchase Payments in the 12 months prior to death | = | $0 |
In-Force Premium | = | $100,000 ($100,000+$0-$0) |
In-Force Earnings | = | $50,000 ($150,000-$100,000) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit** | = | 40%*$50,000=$20,000 |
Contract Value | = | $150,000 |
Death Benefit | = | $160,000 |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit | = | $20,000 |
Continuing Contract Value | = | $180,000 ($160,000+$20,000) |
Since In-Force Earnings are less than 100% of the In-Force Premium (excluding purchase payments and Credit Enhancements for Allstate Advisor Plus Contracts in the 12 months prior to death), the In-Force Earnings are used to compute the Earnings Protection Death Benefit amount.
Assume the surviving spouse is age 72 when the Contract is continued. At this time, the surviving spouse has the option to continue the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option at an additional mortality and expense risk charge of 0.40% and with an In-Force Premium amount equal to the Contract Value and the Rider Date reset to the date the Contract is continued. If this selection is made, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit will be equal to the lesser of 25% of the In-Force Earnings and 50% of In-Force Premium. Otherwise, the surviving spouse may elect to terminate the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option at the time of continuation.
* | For purposes of illustrating the calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values and Maximum Anniversary Values for all Contracts, net of applicable fees and charges. Actual death benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract and the Credit Enhancement available under the Allstate Advisor Plus Contract. |
F-2
** | If the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant had been over age 70, and both were age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit would be 25% of the In-Force Earnings ($12,500.00). |

Withdrawal Adjustment | [(a)/(b)]*(c) | $12,500 | $13,000 |
Adjusted Benefit Base | $37,500 | $39,000 |
* | For purpose of illustrating the withdrawal adjustment calculation, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values, net of applicable fees and charges for all Contracts. Actual Contract Values will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract and the Credit Enhancement available under the Allstate Advisor Plus Contract.

Appendix H – SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option Calculation Examples
Example 1: Assume you purchase an Allstate Advisor contract with a $100,000 initial purchase payment and add the SureIncome Option at issue.
Your Benefit Base is $100,000, which is your initial purchase payment of $100,000.
Your Benefit Payment is $8,000, which is 8% of your initial purchase payment.
Your Benefit Payment Remaining for this Benefit Year is $8,000, which is equal to your Benefit Payment at the beginning of this Benefit Year.
Example 2: Assume Example 1 is continued and an additional purchase payment of $40,000 is made in the first Benefit Year.
The Benefit Base is increased to $140,000, which is your prior Benefit Base ($100,000) plus your additional purchase payment ($40,000).
The Benefit Payment is increased to $11,200, which is your prior Benefit Payment ($8,000) plus 8% of your additional purchase payment ($40,000).
The Benefit Payment Remaining is increased to $11,200, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your additional purchase payment ($8,000) plus 8% of your additional purchase payment ($40,000).
Example 3: Assume Example 1 is continued and a withdrawal of $8,000 is made during the first Benefit Year.
The Benefit Base is reduced to $92,000, which is your prior Benefit Base ($100,000) less your withdrawal ($8,000).
The Benefit Payment is unchanged and remains $8,000.
The Benefit Payment Remaining in the first Benefit Year is $0, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your withdrawal ($8,000) less your withdrawal ($8,000).
Example 4: Assume example 1 is continued and a withdrawal of $25,000 is made during the first Benefit Year. Assume the Contract Value prior to the withdrawal was $130,000. Because the $25,000 withdrawal is larger than the Benefit Payment Remaining, the Benefit Base and Benefit Payment will be recalculated according to applicable formulas.
The Benefit Base is reduced to $75,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($130,000 – $25,000) and ($100,000 – $25,000) = $75,000.

Appendix J – SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option Calculation Examples
Example 1: Assume you purchase an Allstate Advisor contract with $100,000 initial purchase payment, are attained age 55 at issue, and add the SureIncome For Life Option at issue (you are the SureIncome Covered Life).
Your Benefit Base is $100,000, which is your initial purchase payment of $100,000.
Your SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is $100,000, which is your initial purchase payment of $100,000.
Your Benefit Payment is $4,000, which is 4% of your initial purchase payment.
Your Benefit Payment Remaining for this Benefit Year is $4,000, which is equal to your Benefit Payment at the beginning of this Benefit Year.
Note: The Benefit Payment remains $4,000 until you turn age 60 (as long as the Contract Value on any of the prior Contract Anniversaries have not caused any of the guarantees under the Option to be updated). At that point, if no withdrawals have been taken, your Benefit Payment & Benefit Payment Remaining are updated to 5% × current Benefit Base ($5,000 = 5% × $100,000, assuming your Benefit Base is still $100,000).
Example 2: Assume Example 1 is continued and an additional purchase payment of $40,000 is made in the first Benefit Year.

Because the first withdrawal occurs at attained age 60, the Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining prior to the withdrawal are updated to 5% × current Benefit Base prior to the withdrawal (5% × $100,000 = $5,000).
The Benefit Payment is reduced to $3,750, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($5,000) and (5% × $75,000) = $3,750.
There is no Benefit Payment Remaining because the withdrawal has reduced it to $0.
Note: The Withdrawal Benefit Factor is locked at 5% because the age at first withdrawal is age 60.
Example 5: Assume Example 3a is continued and an additional withdrawal of $5,000 is taken in the same year (the first Benefit Year). Assume the Contract Value prior to the additional withdrawal was $60,000. Because the $5,000 withdrawal is larger than the Benefit Payment Remaining ($0), the Benefit Base and Benefit Payment will be recalculated according to applicable formulas.

Glossary of Terms
AB Factor- An element used to calculate the Accumulation Benefit that is determined by the Rider Period and Guarantee Option you selected as of the Rider Date.
Accumulation Benefit- An amount used to determine the minimum Contract Value on the Rider Maturity Date under the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option, which is equal to the Benefit Base multiplied by the AB Factor.
Accumulation Phase- The period that begins on the date we issue your Contract (“Issue Date”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments.
Accumulation Unit- A unit of measurement used to measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase. To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-account to allocate to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment or transfer you have allocated to a Variable Sub-account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer.
Accumulation Unit Value- Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units (this is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund).
Allstate Life (“we”): The issuer of the Allstate Variable Annuity and Allstate Variable Annuity - L Share, each an individual and group flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract (“Contract”).
Annuitant- The individual whose age determines the latest Payout Start Date and whose life determines the amount and duration of income payments (other than under Income Plan 3). The maximum age of the Annuitant on the date we receive the completed application for each Contract is 90.
Automatic Additions Program- A programs that permits subsequent purchase payments of $50 or more per month by automatically transferring money from your bank account. The Automatic Additions Program is not available for making purchase payments into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option.
Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program- A program that provides for the automatic rebalancing of the Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations after the performance of each Sub-Account causes a shift in the percentage you allocated to each Sub-Account.
Beneficiary(ies)- The person(s) or entity(ies), who will receive the benefits that the Contract provides when the last surviving Contract Owner dies, or, if the Contract Owner is a non-living person, an Annuitant dies. You may name one or more Primary and Contingent Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract.
• | Primary Beneficiary- the person who may, in accordance with the terms of the Contract, elect to receive the death settlement (“Death Proceeds”) or become the new Contract Owner pursuant to the Contract if the sole surviving Contract Owner dies before the Payout Start Date.

How the Contracts Work
Each Contract basically works in two ways.
First, each Contract can help you (we assume you are the “Contract Owner”) save for retirement because you can invest in your Contract’s investment alternatives and generally pay no federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during what we call the “Accumulation Phase” of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the “Issue Date”) and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/or Fixed Account Options. If you invest in a Fixed Account Option, you will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest in any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.
Second, each Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to receive retirement income for life and/or for a preset number of years, by selecting one of the income payment options (we call these “Income Plans”) described in the Income Payments - Income Plans section. You receive income payments during what we call the “Payout Phase” of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select. During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.
The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.
Other income payment options are also available. See “Income Payments.”
As the Contract Owner, you exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by the Contract. If you die, any surviving Contract Owner or, if there is none, the Beneficiary will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the Contract. See “The Contracts.” In addition, if you die before the Payout Start Date, we will pay a death benefit to any surviving Contract Owner or, if there is none, to your Beneficiary. See “Death Benefits.”
Please call us at 1-800-457-7617 if you have any question about how the Contracts work.

Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option | 0.30% |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option (issue age 0-70) | 0.25% (up to 0.35% for Options added in the future) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option (issue age 71-79) | 0.40% (up to 0.50% for Options added in the future) |
If you select the Options with the highest possible combination of mortality and expense risk charges, your Variable Account expenses would be as follows, assuming current expenses:
Contract with the MAV Death Benefit Option, Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option, Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option (issue age 71-79) | Mortality and Expense Risk Charge* | Administrative Expense Charge* | Total Variable Account Annual Expense |
Allstate Variable Annuity | 2.00% | 0.19% | 2.19% |
Allstate Variable Annuity – L Share | 2.40% | 0.19% | 2.59% |
* As described above, the administrative expense charge and the mortality and expense charge for certain Options may be higher for future Contracts. However, we will not increase the administrative expense charge once we issue your Contract, and we will not increase the charge for an Option once we add the Option to your Contract. The administrative expense charge is 0.19% for Contracts issued before January 1, 2005 and for Contracts issued on or after October 17, 2005. The administrative expense charge is 0.30% for Contracts issued on or after January 1, 2005 and prior to October 17, 2005; effective October 17, 2005 and thereafter, the administrative expense charge applied to such Contracts is 0.19%.

PORTFOLIO ANNUAL EXPENSES – Minimum and Maximum
The next table shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. Advisers and/or other service providers of certain Portfolios may have agreed to waive their fees and/or reimburse Portfolio expenses in order to keep the Portfolios’ expenses below specified limits. The range of expenses shown in this table does not show the effect of any such fee waiver or expense reimbursement. More detail concerning each Portfolio’s fees and expenses appears in the prospectus for each Portfolio.
ANNUAL PORTFOLIO EXPENSES
Minimum | Maximum | |
Total Annual Portfolio Operating Expenses (1) (expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets, which may include management fees, distribution and/or services (12b-1) fees, and other expenses) | 0.51% | 2.17% |
(1) | Expenses are shown as a percentage of Portfolio average daily net assets (before any waiver or reimbursement) as of December 31, 2018 (except as otherwise noted). |
EXPENSE EXAMPLES
These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contracts with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include Contract owner transaction expenses, Contract fees, Variable Account annual expenses (with a 0.19% annual administrative charge), and Portfolio fees and expenses.
The example shows the dollar amount of expenses that you would bear directly or indirectly if you:
• | invested $10,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated; |
• | earned a 5% annual return on your investment; |
• | allocate all of your Account Value to the sub-Account with the Maximum Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses as listed in the Expense Table, and these remain the same each year* |
• | elected the MAV Death Benefit Option and the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option; |
• | elected the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option (assuming issue age 71-79); |
• | elected the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option; and |
• | elected the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option ** |
The examples also assume:
• | No tax charge applies. |
• | For each charge, we deduct the maximum charge rather than current charge. |
• | You make no transfers, or other transactions for which we charge a fee. |
Amounts shown in the examples are rounded to the nearest dollar.
* Note: Not all Portfolios offered as Sub-accounts may be available depending on optional benefit selection, the applicable jurisdiction and selling firm.
** Note: The combination of optional benefits represents the maximum optional benefit charge.
THE EXAMPLES ARE ILLUSTRATIVE ONLY. THEY SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE EXPENSES OF THE UNDERLYING PORTFOLIOS. ACTUAL EXPENSES WILL BE LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN DEPENDING UPON WHICH OPTIONAL BENEFIT YOU ELECT OTHER THAN INDICATED IN THE EXAMPLES OR IF YOU ALLOCATE ACCOUNT VALUE TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE SUB-ACCOUNTS.

Financial Information
To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the “Accumulation Unit.” Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we call “Accumulation Unit Value.” Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not the same as, the share price of a mutual fund.
Accumulation Unit Values for the lowest and highest available combinations of Contract charges that affect Accumulation Unit Values for each Contract are shown in Appendix K to this prospectus. The Statement of Additional Information contains the Accumulation Unit Values for all other available combinations of Contract charges that affect Accumulation Unit Values for each Contract. The consolidated financial statements of Allstate Life and the financial statements of the Variable Account, which are comprised of the underlying financial statements of the Sub-Accounts, appear in the Statement of Additional Information.
No Accumulation Unit Values are shown for Contracts with administrative expense charges of 0.30% which applies to Contracts purchased on or after January 1, 2005, and prior to October 17, 2005; effective October 17, 2005, and thereafter, the administrative expense charge applied to such Contracts is 0.19%.
The Contracts
CONTRACT OWNER
Each Contract is an agreement between you, the Contract Owner, and Allstate Life, a life insurance company. As the Contract Owner, you may exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract. That means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):
• | the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases, |
• | the amount and timing of your purchase payments and withdrawals, |
• | the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money, |
• | the income payment plan(s) you want to use to receive retirement income, |
• | the Annuitant (either yourself or someone else) on whose life the income payments will be based, |
• | the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the Contract provides when the last surviving Contract Owner or the Annuitant dies, and |
• | any other rights that the Contract provides, including restricting income payments to Beneficiaries. |
If you die, any surviving joint Contract Owner or, if none, the Beneficiary may exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract. If the sole surviving Contract Owner dies after the Payout Start Date, the Primary Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments scheduled to continue.
If the Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date and the Contract Owner is a grantor trust not established by a business, the new Contract Owner will be the Beneficiary(ies).
14
The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-living person and a living person unless the Contract Owner(s) assumed ownership of the Contract as a Beneficiary(ies). The maximum age of any Contract Owner on the date we receive the completed application for each Contract is 90.
If you select the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (MAV) Option, the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option, or the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner on the Rider Application Date is currently age 79. If you select the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option or the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts (CSP), the maximum age of any Contract Owner or beneficial owner for CSP on the Rider Application Date is currently age 90. If you select the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner on the Rider Application Date is age 80. If you select the SureIncome for Life Withdrawal Benefit Option, the minimum and maximum ages of the oldest Contract Owner (oldest annuitant if Contract Owner is a non-living person) on the Rider Application Date are ages 50 and 79, respectively.
The Contract can also be purchased as an IRA or TSA (also known as a 403(b)). The endorsements required to qualify these annuities under the Code may limit or modify your rights and privileges under the Contract. We use the term “Qualified Contract” to refer to a Contract issued as an IRA, 403(b), or with a Qualified Plan.
Except for certain retirement plans, you may change the Contract Owner at any time by written notice in a form satisfactory to us. Until we receive your written notice to change the Contract Owner, we are entitled to rely on the most recent information in our files. We will provide a change of ownership form to be signed by you and filed with us. Once we accept the change, the change will take effect as of the date you signed the request. We will not be liable for any payment or settlement made prior to accepting the change. Accordingly, if you wish to change the Contract Owner, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly. Each change is subject to any payment we make or other action we take before we accept it. Changing ownership of this Contract may cause adverse tax consequences and may not be allowed under Qualified Contract. Please consult with a tax advisor prior to making a request for a change of Contract Owner.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the individual whose age determines the latest Payout Start Date and whose life determines the amount and duration of income payments (other than under Income Plan 3). You may not change the Annuitant at any time. You may designate a joint Annuitant, who is a second person on whose life income payments depend, at the time you select an Income Plan. Additional restrictions may apply in the case of Qualified Plans. The maximum age of the Annuitant on the date we receive the completed application for each Contract is age 90.
If you select the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (MAV) Death Benefit Option, Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option or the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 79.
If you select the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 90.
If you select the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 90.
If you select the Income Protection Benefit Option, the oldest Annuitant and joint Annuitant (if applicable) must be age 75 or younger on the Payout Start Date.
If you select the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option, the maximum age of any Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 80. If you select the SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option, the minimum and maximum ages of the oldest annuitant, if the Contract Owner is a non-living person, on the Rider Application Date are ages 50 and 79, respectively.
If you select an Income Plan that depends on the Annuitant or a joint Annuitant’s life, we may require proof of age and sex before income payments begin and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is still alive before we make each payment.
CO-ANNUITANT
Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option
Contract Owners of IRA Contracts that meet the following conditions and that elect the Spousal Protection Benefit Option may name their spouse as a Co-Annuitant:
• | the individually owned Contract must be either a traditional, Roth, or Simplified Employee Pension IRA; |
• | the Contract Owner must be age 90 or younger on the Rider Application Date; |
• | the Co-Annuitant must be age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date; and |
• | the Co-Annuitant must be the sole Primary Beneficiary under the Contract. |
Under the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option, the Co-Annuitant will be considered to be an Annuitant during the Accumulation Phase, except the Co-Annuitant will not be considered to be an Annuitant for purposes of determining the Payout Start
15
Date or upon the death of the Co-Annuitant. You may change the Co-Annuitant to a new spouse only if you provide proof of remarriage in a form satisfactory to us. At any time, there may only be one Co-Annuitant under your Contract. See “Spousal Protection Benefit Option and Death of Co-Annuitant” for more information.
Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts.
Contracts that meet the following conditions and that elect the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts may name the spouse of the Annuitant as a Co-Annuitant:
• | the beneficially owned Contract must be a Custodial traditional IRA, Custodial Roth IRA, or a Custodial Simplified Employee Pension IRA; |
• | the Annuitant must be the beneficial owner of the Custodial traditional IRA, Custodial Roth IRA, or Custodial Simplified Employee Pension IRA; |
• | the Co-Annuitant must be the legal spouse of the Annuitant and only one Co-Annuitant may be named; |
• | the Co-Annuitant must be the sole beneficiary of the Custodial traditional IRA, Custodial Roth IRA, or the Custodial Simplified Employee Pension IRA; |
• | the Annuitant must be age 90 or younger on the Rider Application Date; and |
• | the Co-Annuitant must be age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. |
Under the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts, the Co-Annuitant will be considered to be an Annuitant during the Accumulation Phase, except the Co-Annuitant will not be considered to be an Annuitant for purposes of determining the Payout Start Date or upon the death of the Co-Annuitant. The Co-Annuitant is not considered the beneficial owner of the Custodial Traditional IRA, Custodial Roth IRA, or the Custodial Simplified Employee Pension IRA. See “Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts and Death of Co-Annuitant” for more information.
BENEFICIARY
You may name one or more Primary and Contingent Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. The Primary Beneficiary is the person who may, in accordance with the terms of the Contract, elect to receive the death settlement (“Death Proceeds”) or become the new Contract Owner pursuant to the Contract if the sole surviving Contract Owner dies before the Payout Start Date. A Contingent Beneficiary is the person selected by the Contract Owner who will exercise the rights of the Primary Beneficiary if all named Primary Beneficiaries die before the death of the sole surviving Contract Owner.
You may change or add Beneficiaries at any time, unless you have designated an irrevocable Beneficiary. We will provide a change of Beneficiary form to be signed by you and filed with us. After we accept the form, the change of Beneficiary will be effective as of the date you signed the form. Until we accept your written notice to change a Beneficiary, we are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information in our files. We will not be liable for any payment or settlement made prior to accepting the change. Accordingly, if you wish to change your Beneficiary, you should deliver your written notice to us promptly. Each Beneficiary change is subject to any payment made by us or any other action we take before we accept the change.
You may restrict income payments to Beneficiaries by providing us with a written request. Once we accept the written request, the restriction will take effect as of the date you signed the request. Any restriction is subject to any payment made by us or any other action we take before we accept the request.
If you did not name a Beneficiary or, unless otherwise provided in the Beneficiary designation, if a named Beneficiary is no longer living and there are no other surviving Primary or Contingent Beneficiaries when the sole surviving Contract Owner dies, the new Beneficiary will be:
• | your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive, |
• | your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children, |
• | your estate. |
If more than one Beneficiary survives you (or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is a grantor trust), we will divide the Death Proceeds among the surviving Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you have not given us written instructions in a form satisfactory to us, we will pay the Death Proceeds in equal amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries. If there is more than one Beneficiary in a class (e.g., more than one Primary Beneficiary) and one of the Beneficiaries predeceases the Contract Owner (the Annuitant if the Contract Owner is a grantor trust), the remaining Beneficiaries in that class will divide the deceased Beneficiary’s share in proportion to the original share of the remaining Beneficiaries.
For purposes of this Contract, in determining whether a living person, including a Contract Owner, Primary Beneficiary, Contingent Beneficiary, or Annuitant (“Living Person A”) has survived another living person, including a Contract Owner, Primary Beneficiary, Contingent Beneficiary, or Annuitant (“Living Person B”), Living Person A must survive Living Person B by at least 24 hours. Otherwise, Living Person A will be conclusively deemed to have predeceased Living Person B.
16
Where there are multiple Beneficiaries, we will only value the Death Proceeds at the time the first Beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in Good Order. Any Death Proceeds amounts attributable to any Beneficiary which remain in the Variable Sub-Accounts are subject to investment risk. If there is more than one Beneficiary taking shares of the Death Proceeds, each Beneficiary will be treated as a separate and independent owner of his or her respective share of the Death Proceeds. Each Beneficiary will exercise all rights related to his or her share of the Death Proceeds, including the sole right to select a death settlement option, subject to any restrictions previously placed upon the Beneficiary. Each Beneficiary may designate a Beneficiary(ies) for his or her respective share, but that designated Beneficiary(ies) will be restricted to the death settlement option chosen by the original Beneficiary.
If there is more than one Beneficiary and one of the Beneficiaries is a corporation, trust or other non-living person, all Beneficiaries will be considered to be non-living persons.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Only an Allstate Life officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. None of our agents has the authority to change or waive the provisions of the Contract. We may not change the terms of the Contract without your consent, except to conform the Contract to applicable law or changes in the law. If a provision of the Contract is inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.
ASSIGNMENT
You may not assign an interest in this Contract as collateral or security for a loan. However, you may assign periodic income payments under this Contract prior to the Payout Start Date. No Beneficiary may assign benefits under the Contract until they are due. We will not be bound by any assignment until the assignor signs it and files it with us. We are not responsible for the validity of any assignment. Federal law prohibits or restricts the assignment of benefits under many types of retirement plans and the terms of such plans may themselves contain restrictions on assignments. An assignment may also result in taxes or tax penalties. You should consult with an attorney before trying to assign periodic income payments under your Contract.
Purchases
MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS
You may make purchase payments at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. All subsequent purchase payments under a Contract must be $1,000 or more ($50 for automatic payments). Additional payments may be limited in some states. Please consult with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor for details. The total amount of purchase payments we will accept for each Contract without our prior approval is $1,000,000. We reserve the right to accept lesser subsequent purchase payment amounts. We reserve the right to limit the availability of the investment alternatives for additional investments. We may apply certain limitations, restrictions, and/or underwriting standards as a condition of acceptance of purchase payments.
AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM
You may make subsequent purchase payments of $50 or more per month by automatically transferring money from your bank account. Please consult with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor for detailed information. The Automatic Additions Program is not available for making purchase payments into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
At the time you apply for a Contract, you must decide how to allocate your purchase payment among the investment alternatives. The allocation you specify on your application will be effective immediately. All allocations must be in whole percents that total 100% or in whole dollars. You can change your allocations by calling us at 1-800-457-7617.
We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment alternatives according to your most recent instructions on file with us. Unless you notify us otherwise, we will allocate subsequent purchase payments according to the allocation for the previous purchase payment. We will effect any change in allocation instructions at the time we receive written notice of the change in Good Order.
We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our service center in Good Order.
We use the term “business day” to refer to each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as “Valuation Dates.” Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes for regular trading, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (3:00 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.
There may be circumstances where the New York Stock Exchange is open, however, due to inclement weather, natural disaster or other circumstances beyond our control, our offices may be closed or our business processing capabilities may be restricted. Under
17
those circumstances, your Contract Value may fluctuate based on changes in the Accumulation Unit Values, but you may not be able to transfer Contract Value, or make a purchase or redemption request.
With respect to any purchase payment that is pending investment in our Variable Account, we may hold the amount temporarily in a suspense account and may earn interest on amounts held in that suspense account. You will not be credited with any interest on amounts held in that suspense account.
TRIAL EXAMINATION PERIOD
You may cancel your Contract by providing us with written notice within the Trial Examination Period, which is the 20-day period after you receive the Contract, or such longer period that your state may require. If you exercise this “Right to Cancel,” the Contract terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your purchase payments allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your purchase payments allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law permits, to reflect investment gain or loss, including the deduction of mortality and expense risk charges and administrative expense charges, that occurred from the date of allocation through the date of cancellation. If your Contract is qualified under Code Section 408(b), we will refund the greater of any purchase payments or the Contract Value. The amount you receive will be less applicable federal and state income tax withholding.
We reserve the right to allocate your purchase payments to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account during the Trial Examination Period.
For Contracts purchased in California by persons age 60 and older, you may elect to defer until the end of the Trial Examination Period allocation of your purchase payment to the Variable Sub-Accounts. Unless you instruct otherwise, upon making this election, your purchase payment will be allocated to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account. On the next Valuation Date, 40 days after the Issue Date, your Contract Value will then be reallocated in accordance with your most recent investment allocation instructions.
State laws vary and may require a different period, other variations or adjustments. Please refer to your Contract for state specific information.
Contract Value
On the Issue Date, the Contract Value is equal to your initial purchase payment.
Thereafter, your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you have selected, plus your value in the Fixed Account Option(s) offered by your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to allocate to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment or transfer you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account for each Contract will rise or fall to reflect:
• | changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account invests, and |
• | the deduction of amounts reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative expense charge |
We determine any applicable withdrawal charges, Rider Fees (if applicable), transfer fees, and contract maintenance charges separately for each Contract. They do not affect the Accumulation Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming Accumulation Units. For details on how we compute Accumulation Unit Values, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account for each Contract on each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit Values that reflect the cost of each optional benefit, or available combination thereof, offered under the Contract.
You should refer to the prospectuses for the Funds for a description of how the assets of each Portfolio are valued, since that determination directly bears on the Accumulation Unit Value of the corresponding Variable Sub-Account and, therefore, your Contract Value.
18
TRUERETURNSM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT OPTION
We offer the TrueReturnSM Accumulation Benefit Option, which is available for an additional fee. The TrueReturn Option guarantees a minimum Contract Value on the “Rider Maturity Date.” The Rider Maturity Date is determined by the length of the Rider Period which you select. The Option provides no minimum Contract Value if the Option terminates before the Rider Maturity Date. See “Termination of the TrueReturn Option” below for details on termination.
The TrueReturn Option is available at issue of the Contract, or may be added later, subject to availability and issue requirements. You may not add the TrueReturn Option to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the TrueReturn Option. Currently, you may have only one TrueReturn Option in effect on your Contract at one time. You may only have one of the following in effect on your Contract at the same time: a TrueReturn Option, a Retirement Income Guarantee Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option. The TrueReturn Option has no maximum issue age, however the Rider Maturity Date must occur before the latest Payout Start Date, which is the later of the Annuitant’s 99th birthday or the 10th Contract Anniversary. Once added to your Contract, the TrueReturn Option may be cancelled at any time on or after the 5th Rider Anniversary by notifying us in writing in a form satisfactory to us.
The “Rider Anniversary” is the anniversary of the Rider Date. We reserve the right to extend the date on which the TrueReturn Option may be cancelled to up to the 10th Rider Anniversary at any time in our sole discretion. Any change we make will not apply to a TrueReturn Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change.
When you add the TrueReturn Option to your Contract, you must select a Rider Period and a Guarantee Option. The Rider Period and Guarantee Option you select determine the AB Factor, which is used to determine the Accumulation Benefit, described below. The “Rider Period” begins on the Rider Date and ends on the Rider Maturity Date. The “Rider Date” is the date the TrueReturn Option was made a part of your Contract. We currently offer Rider Periods ranging from 8 to 20 years depending on the Guarantee Option you select. You may select any Rider Period from among those we currently offer, provided the Rider Maturity Date occurs prior to the latest Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to offer additional Rider Periods in the future, and to discontinue offering any of the Rider Periods at any time. Each Model Portfolio Option available under a Guarantee Option has specific investment requirements that are described in the “Investment Requirements” section below and may depend upon the Rider Date of your TrueReturn Option. We reserve the right to offer additional Guarantee Options in the future, and to discontinue offering any of the Guarantee Options at any time. After the Rider Date, the Rider Period and Guarantee Option may not be changed.
The TrueReturn Option may not be available in all states. We may discontinue offering the TrueReturn Option at any time to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the Option prior to the date of discontinuance.

On the Rider Maturity Date, if the Accumulation Benefit is greater than the Contract Value, then the Contract Value will be increased to equal the Accumulation Benefit. The excess amount of any such increase will be allocated to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account. You may transfer the excess amount out of the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account and into another investment alternative at any time thereafter. However, each transfer you make will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee. Prior to the Rider Maturity Date, the Accumulation Benefit will not be available as a Contract Value, Settlement Value, or Death Proceeds. Additionally, we will not pay an Accumulation Benefit if the TrueReturn Option is terminated for any reason prior to the Rider Maturity Date. After the Rider Maturity Date, the TrueReturn Option provides no additional benefit.
The “Accumulation Benefit” is equal to the Benefit Base multiplied by the AB Factor. The “AB Factor” is determined by the Rider Period and Guarantee Option you selected as of the Rider Date. The following table shows the AB Factors available for the Rider Periods and Guarantee Options we currently offer.
19
AB Factors | ||
Rider Period (number of years) | Guarantee Option 1 | Guarantee Option 2 |
8 | 100.0% | NA |
9 | 112.5% | NA |
10 | 125.0% | 100.0% |
11 | 137.5% | 110.0% |
12 | 150.0% | 120.0% |
13 | 162.5% | 130.0% |
14 | 175.0% | 140.0% |
15 | 187.5% | 150.0% |
16 | 200.0% | 160.0% |
17 | 212.5% | 170.0% |
18 | 225.0% | 180.0% |
19 | 237.5% | 190.0% |
20 | 250.0% | 200.0% |
The following examples illustrate the Accumulation Benefit calculations under Guarantee Options 1 and 2 on the Rider Maturity Date. For the purpose of illustrating the Accumulation Benefit calculation, the examples assume the Benefit Base is the same on the Rider Date and the Rider Maturity Date.
Example 1: Guarantee Option 1
Guarantee Option: | 1 |
Rider Period: | 15 |
AB Factor: | 187.5% |
Rider Date: | 1/2/04 |
Rider Maturity Date: | 1/2/19 |
Benefit Base on Rider Date: | $50,000 |
Benefit Base on rider Maturity Date: | $50,000 |
On the Rider Maturity Date (1/2/19): | |
Accumulation Benefit | = Benefit Base on Rider Maturity Date × AB Factor |
= $50,000 × 187.5% | |
= $93,750 |
Example 2: Guarantee Option 2
Guarantee Option: | 2 |
Rider Period: | 15 |
AB Factor: | 150.0% |
Rider Date: | 1/2/04 |
Rider Maturity Date: | 1/2/19 |
Benefit Base on Rider Date: | $50,000 |
Benefit Base on rider Maturity Date: | $50,000 |
On the Rider Maturity Date (1/2/19): | |
Accumulation Benefit | = Benefit Base on Rider Maturity Date × AB Factor |
= $50,000 × 150.0% | |
= $75,000 |
Guarantee Option 1 offers a higher AB Factor and more rider periods than Guarantee Option 2. Guarantee Option 1 and Guarantee Option 2 have different investment restrictions. See “Investment Requirements” below for more information.

Benefit Base.
The Benefit Base is used solely for purposes of determining the Rider Fee and the Accumulation Benefit. The Benefit Base is not available as a Contract Value, Settlement Value, or Death Proceeds. On the Rider Date, the “Benefit Base” is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be recalculated for purchase payments and withdrawals as follows:
• | The Benefit Base will be increased by purchase payments made prior to or on the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date. Subject to the terms and conditions of your Contract, you may add purchase payments after this date, but they will not be included in the calculation of the Benefit Base. Therefore, if you plan to make purchase payments after the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, you should consider carefully whether this Option is appropriate for your needs. |
• | The Benefit Base will be decreased by a Withdrawal Adjustment for each withdrawal you make. The Withdrawal Adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result multiplied by (c), where: |
(a) | = the withdrawal amount; |
(b) | = the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and |
(c) | = the Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal. |
Withdrawals taken prior to annuitization (referred to in this prospectus as the Payout Phase) are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. A withdrawal charge also may apply. See Appendix G for numerical examples that illustrate how the Withdrawal Adjustment is applied.
The Benefit Base will never be less than zero.
Investment Requirements.
If you add the TrueReturn Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest during the Rider Period. The specific requirements will depend on the model portfolio option (“Model Portfolio Option”) you have selected and the effective date of your TrueReturn Option. These requirements are described below in more detail. These requirements may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain Variable Sub-Accounts or on certain Fixed Account Options, exclusion of certain Variable Sub-Accounts or of certain Fixed Account Options, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts, and restrictions on transfers to or from certain investment alternatives. We may also require that you use the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program. We may change the specific requirements that are applicable to a Guarantee Option or a Model Portfolio Option available under a Guarantee Option at any time in our sole discretion. Any changes we make will not apply to a TrueReturn Option that was made a part of your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change, except for changes made due to a change in investment alternatives available under the Contract. Any changes we make will apply to a new TrueReturn Option elected subsequent to the change pursuant to the Rider Trade-In Option.
When you add the TrueReturn Option to your Contract, you must allocate your entire Contract Value as follows:
(1) | to a Model Portfolio Option available with the Guarantee Option you selected, as defined below; or |
(2) | to the DCA Fixed Account Option and then transfer all purchase payments and interest according to a Model Portfolio Option available with the Guarantee Option you selected; or |
(3) | to a combination of (1) and (2) above. |
For (2) and (3) above, the requirements for the DCA Fixed Account Option must be met. See the “Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option” section of this prospectus for more information.
On the Rider Date, you must select only one of the Model Portfolio Options in which to allocate your Contract Value. After the Rider Date, you may transfer your entire Contract Value to any of the other Model Portfolio Options available with your Guarantee Option. We currently offer several Model Portfolio Options with each of the available Guarantee Options. The Model Portfolio Options that are available under Guarantee Options may differ depending upon the effective date of your TrueReturn Option. Please refer to the Model Portfolio Option 1, Model Portfolio Option 2 and TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options sections below for more details. We may add other Model Portfolio Options in the future. We also may remove Model Portfolio Options in the future anytime prior to the date you select such Model Portfolio Option. In addition, if the investment alternatives available under the Contract change, we may revise the Model Portfolio Options. The following table summarizes the Model Portfolio Options currently available for use with each Guarantee Option under the TrueReturn Option:
21
Guarantee Option 1 | Guarantee Option 2 |
* Model Portfolio Option 1 * TrueBalance Conservative Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio Option | * Model Portfolio Option 2 * TrueBalance Conservative Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Moderate Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Moderately Aggressive Model Portfolio Option * TrueBalance Aggressive Model Portfolio Option |
You may not allocate any of your Contract Value to the Standard Fixed Account Option or to the MVA Fixed Account Option. You must transfer any portion of your Contract Value that is allocated to the Standard Fixed Account Option or to the MVA Fixed Account Option to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to adding the TrueReturn Option to your Contract. Transfers from the MVA Fixed Account Option may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. You may allocate any portion of your purchase payments to the DCA Fixed Account Option on the Rider Date, provided the DCA Fixed Account Option is available with your Contract and in your state. See the “Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option” section of this prospectus for more information. We use the term “Transfer Period Account” to refer to each purchase payment allocation made to the DCA Fixed Account Option for a specified term length. At the expiration of a Transfer Period Account any remaining amounts in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to the percentage allocations for the Model Portfolio Option you selected.
Any subsequent purchase payments made to your Contract will be allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your specific instructions or your allocation for the previous purchase payment (for Model Portfolio Option 1) or the percentage allocation for your current Model Portfolio Option (for TrueBalance Model Portfolio Options) unless you request that the purchase payment be allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option. Purchase payments allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option must be $100 or more. Any withdrawals you request will reduce your Contract Value invested in each of the investment alternatives on a pro rata basis in the proportion that your Contract Value in each bears to your total Contract Value in all Variable Sub-Accounts, unless you request otherwise.
Model Portfolio Option 1
If you choose Model Portfolio Option 1 or transfer your entire Contract Value into Model Portfolio Option 1 under Guarantee Option 1, you must allocate a certain percentage of your Contract Value into each of three asset categories. Please note that certain investment alternatives are not available under Model Portfolio Option 1. You may choose the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you want to invest, provided you maintain the percentage allocation requirements for each category. You may also make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts within each category at any time, provided you maintain the percentage allocation requirements for each category. However, each transfer you make will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.
Effective October 1, 2004, certain Variable Sub-Accounts under Model Portfolio 1 were reclassified into different asset categories. These changes apply to TrueReturn Options effective prior to and on or after October 1, 2004.
The following table describes the percentage allocation requirements for Model Portfolio Option 1 and Variable Sub-Accounts available under each category:

Model Portfolio Option 2
The investment requirements under Model Portfolio Option 2 depend on the Rider Date of your TrueReturn Option.
Model Portfolio Option 2 (Rider Date prior to October 1, 2004)
If your TrueReturn Option Rider Date is prior to October 1, 2004 and you choose Model Portfolio Option 2 or transfer your entire Contract Value into Model Portfolio Option 2, you may allocate your Contract Value among any of a selected group of available Variable Sub-Accounts listed below. You may choose the Variable Sub-Accounts in which you want to invest, provided you maintain the percentage allocation requirements for each category. You may also make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts within each category at any time, provided you maintain the percentage allocation requirements for each category. However, each transfer you make will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.
The following table describes the percentage allocation requirements for Model Portfolio Option 2 (Rider Date prior to October 1, 2004) and the Variable Sub-Accounts available under each category:

TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options.
If you choose one of the TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options or transfer your entire Contract Value into one of the TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options, you may not choose the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts in the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. Each TrueBalance Model Portfolio involves an allocation of assets among a group of pre-selected Variable Sub-Accounts. You cannot make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts nor vary the Variable Sub-Accounts that comprise a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. If you choose a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, we will invest and periodically reallocate your Contract Value according to the allocation percentages and requirements for the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option you have selected currently. For more information regarding the TrueBalance program, see the “TrueBalanceSM Asset Allocation Program” section of this prospectus. However, note that the restrictions described in this section, specifically the restrictions on transfers and the requirement that all of your Contract Value be allocated to a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, apply to the TrueBalance program only if you have added the TrueReturn Option to your Contract.
Please note only certain TrueBalance Model Portfolio Options are available with your TrueReturn Option as summarized in the table under Investment Requirements above.
Cancellation of the TrueReturn Option.
You may not cancel the TrueReturn Option or make transfers, changes to your investment allocations, or changes to the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program that are inconsistent with the investment restrictions applicable to your Guarantee Option and/or Model Portfolio Option prior to the 5th Rider Anniversary. Failure to comply with the investment requirements for any reason may result in the cancellation of the TrueReturn Option. On or after the 5th Rider Anniversary, we will cancel the TrueReturn Option if you make transfers, changes to your investment allocations, or changes to the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program that are inconsistent with the investment requirements applicable to your Guarantee Option and/or Model Portfolio Option. We will not cancel the TrueReturn Option or make any changes to your investment allocations or to the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program that are inconsistent with the investment restrictions applicable to your Guarantee Option until we receive notice from you that you wish to cancel the TrueReturn Option. No Accumulation Benefit will be paid if you cancel the Option prior to the Rider Maturity Date.
Death of Owner or Annuitant.
If the Contract Owner or Annuitant dies before the Rider Maturity Date and the Contract is continued under Option D of the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provision of your Contract, as described in the Death Benefits - Death Benefit Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D or Death of Annuitant - Option D section of this prospectus, then the TrueReturn Option will continue, unless the new Contract Owner elects to cancel this Option. If the TrueReturn Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated. If the Contract is not continued under Option D, then the TrueReturn Option will terminate on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds.
Rider Trade-In Option.
We offer a “Rider Trade-In Option” that allows you to cancel your TrueReturn Option and immediately add a new TrueReturn Option (“New Option”), provided all of the following conditions are met:
• | The trade-in must occur on or after the 5th Rider Anniversary and prior to the Rider Maturity Date. We reserve the right to extend the date at which time the trade-in may occur to up to the 10th anniversary of the Rider Date at any time in our sole discretion. Any change we make will not apply to a TrueReturn Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change. |
• | The New Option will be made a part of your Contract on the date the existing TrueReturn Option is cancelled, provided it is cancelled for reasons other than the termination of your Contract. |
• | The New Option must be a TrueReturn Option that we make available for use with the Rider Trade-In Option. |
• | The issue requirements and terms and conditions of the New Option must be met as of the date the New Option is made a part of your Contract. |
For example, if you trade-in your TrueReturn Option:
• | the new Rider Fee will be based on the Rider Fee percentage applicable to a new TrueReturn Option at the time of trade-in; |
• | the Benefit Base for the New Option will be based on the Contract Value as of the new Rider Date; |
• | the AB Factor will be determined by the Rider Periods and Guarantee Options available with the New Option; |
30
• | the Model Portfolio Options will be determined by the Model Portfolio Options offered with the Guarantee Options available with the New Option; |
• | any waiting period for canceling the New Option will start again on the new Rider Date; |
• | any waiting period for exercising the Rider Trade-In Option will start again on the new Rider Date; and |
• | the terms and conditions of the Rider Trade-In Option will be according to the requirements of the New Option. |
We are also making the SureIncome Plus or SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Options available at the time of your first utilization of this TrueReturn Rider Trade-In Option. We may discontinue offering these Withdrawal Benefit Options under the Rider Trade-In Option with respect to new TrueReturn Options added in the future at anytime at our discretion. If we do so, TrueReturn Options issued prior to this time will continue to have a Withdrawal Benefit Option available at the time of the first utilization of this TrueReturn Rider Trade-In Option. You may cancel your TrueReturn Option and immediately add a new SureIncome Plus Option or a new SureIncome For Life Option, provided all of the following conditions are met:
• | The trade-in must occur on or after the 5th Rider Anniversary and prior to the Rider Maturity Date. At our discretion, we reserve the right to extend the date at which time the trade-in may occur up to the 10th anniversary of the Rider Date at any time. Any change we make will not apply to a TrueReturn Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change. |
• | The new Withdrawal Benefit Option will be made a part of your Contract on the date the existing TrueReturn Option is cancelled, provided it is cancelled for reasons other than the termination of your Contract. |
• | The new Withdrawal Benefit Option must be a Withdrawal Benefit Option that we make available for use with this Rider Trade-In Option. |
• | The issue requirements and terms and conditions of the new Withdrawal Benefit Option must be met as of the date the new Withdrawal Benefit Option is made a part of your Contract. Currently, if you select the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option by utilizing the Rider Trade-In Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner or Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 85. For other Withdrawal Benefit Options that may be selected in the future utilizing the Rider Trade-In Option, issue age requirements may differ. |
You should consult with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor before trading in your TrueReturn Option.
Termination of the TrueReturn Option.
The TrueReturn Option will terminate on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | on the Rider Maturity Date; |
• | on the Payout Start Date; |
• | on the date your Contract is terminated; |
• | on the date the Option is cancelled; |
• | on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds; or |
• | on the date the Option is replaced with a New Option under the Rider Trade-In Option. |
We will not pay an Accumulation Benefit if the TrueReturn Option is terminated for any reason prior to the Rider Maturity Date.
WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTIONS
“Withdrawal Benefit Options” is used to refer collectively to the SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option, the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option, and the SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option. “Withdrawal Benefit Option” is used to refer to any one of the Withdrawal Benefit Options.
SUREINCOME WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTION
Effective May 1, 2006, we ceased offering the SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option (“SureIncome Option”), except in a limited number of states where we intend to discontinue offering the Option as soon as possible. In the states where we continue to offer the SureIncome Option, it is available for an additional fee.
The SureIncome Option provides a guaranteed withdrawal benefit that gives you the right to take limited partial withdrawals that total an amount equal to your purchase payments (subject to certain restrictions). Therefore, regardless of the subsequent fluctuations in the value of your Contract Value, you are entitled to a Benefit Payment each Benefit Year until your Benefit Base is exhausted (terms defined below).
The SureIncome Option guarantees an amount up to the “Benefit Payment Remaining” which will be available for withdrawal from the Contract each “Benefit Year” until the “Benefit Base” (defined below) is reduced to zero. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero
31
and the Benefit Base is still greater than zero, we will distribute an amount equal to the Benefit Base to the Contract owner as described below under the “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase”.
For purposes of the SureIncome Option, “withdrawal” means the gross amount of a withdrawal before any applicable charges such as withdrawal charges, fees, taxes or adjustments including any applicable Market Value Adjustments and surrender charges. Under the SureIncome Option, we do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value.
The “Rider Date” is the date the SureIncome Option was made a part of your Contract. The initial Benefit Year is the period between the Rider Date and the first Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date. Each subsequent Benefit Year is identical to the Contract Year.
In those states where currently offered, the SureIncome Option is available at issue of the Contract, or may be added later, subject to availability and issue requirements. You may not add the SureIncome Option to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the SureIncome Option. Currently, you may have only one Withdrawal Benefit Option (SureIncome, SureIncome Plus or SureIncome For Life) in effect on your Contract at one time. You may only have one of the following in effect on your Contract at the same time: a Withdrawal Benefit Option, a TrueReturn Option, or a Retirement Income Guarantee Option. The SureIncome Option is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 80 or younger on the effective date of the Rider (the “Rider Application Date”). (The maximum age may depend on your state). The SureIncome Option is not available to be added to a Contract categorized as a Tax Sheltered Annuity as defined under Code Section 403(b) at this time. We reserve the right to make the SureIncome Option available to such Contracts on a nondiscriminatory basis in the future at our discretion. Once added to your Contract, the SureIncome Option may be cancelled at any time on or after the 5th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date by notifying us in writing in a form satisfactory to us.
In those states where the SureIncome Option is currently available, we may discontinue offering, at any time without prior notice, the Option to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the SureIncome Option prior to the date of discontinuance.
Withdrawal Benefit Factor
The “Withdrawal Benefit Factor” is used to determine the “Benefit Payment” and Benefit Payment Remaining. We currently offer a Withdrawal Benefit Factor equal to 8%. We reserve the right to make other Withdrawal Benefit Factors available in the future for new SureIncome Options and/or to eliminate the current Withdrawal Benefit Factor. Once a Withdrawal Benefit Factor has been established for a SureIncome Option, it cannot be changed after the Rider Date unless that SureIncome Option is terminated.
Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining
The Benefit Payment is the amount available at the beginning of each Benefit Year that you may withdraw during that Benefit Year. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor and the Benefit Base are used to determine your Benefit Payment. The Benefit Payment Remaining is the amount remaining after any previous withdrawals in a Benefit Year that you may withdraw without reducing your Benefit Base by more than the amount of the withdrawal and without reducing your Benefit Payment available in future Benefit Years. Please note that any purchase payments or withdrawals made on a Contract Anniversary would be applied to the Benefit Year that just ended on that Contract Anniversary.
The Benefit Payment Remaining is equal to the Benefit Payment at the beginning of each Benefit Year.
During each Benefit Year the Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by purchase payments multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor (currently 8% for new SureIncome Options) and reduced by the amount of each withdrawal. The Benefit Payment Remaining will never be less than zero.
On the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment is equal to the greater of:
• | The Contract Value multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor (currently 8% for new SureIncome Options); or |
• | The value of the Benefit Payment of the previous Withdrawal Benefit Option (attached to your Contract) which is being terminated under a rider trade-in option (see “Rider Trade-In Option” below for more information), if applicable. |
After the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment will be increased by purchase payments multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor and affected by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment is unchanged. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment will be the lesser of: |
• | The Benefit Payment immediately prior to the withdrawal; or |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal, multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. |
32
The Benefit Payment Remaining at the time of a withdrawal during a calendar year will be increased on a nondiscriminatory basis in order to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements on the Contract under which this Option has been elected. The Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by the excess of the IRS minimum distribution required on the Contract as calculated at the end of the previous calendar year and the Benefit Payment at the end of the previous calendar year. For the purposes of this calculation, the Benefit Payment Remaining will not be increased if a Withdrawal Benefit Option was not attached to this Contract as of the end of the previous calendar year. Note that any systematic withdrawal programs designed to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements may need to be modified to ensure guarantees under this Option are not impacted by the withdrawals. This modification may result in uneven payment amounts throughout the year.
Benefit Base
The Benefit Base is not available as a Contract Value or Settlement Value. The Benefit Base is used solely to help calculate the Rider Fee, the amount that may be withdrawn and payments that may be received under the SureIncome Option. On the Rider Date, the Benefit Base is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be increased by purchase payments and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The Benefit Base immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal. |
The Benefit Base may also be reduced in other situations as detailed in the “Contract Owner and Assignment of Payments or Interest” section below.
If the Benefit Base is reduced to zero, this SureIncome Option will terminate.
For numerical examples that illustrate how the values defined under the SureIncome Option are calculated, see Appendix H.
Contract Owner and Assignment of Payments or Interest
If you change the Contract Owner or assign any payments or interest under this Contract, as allowed, to any living or non-living person other than your spouse on or after the first calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be recalculated to be the lesser of the Contract Value and the Benefit Base at the time of assignment.
Contract Value
If your Contract Value is reduced to zero due to fees or withdrawals and your Benefit Base is still greater than zero, your Contract will immediately enter the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase. Under the SureIncome Option, we currently do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value. We reserve the right to change this at any time.
Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends and the Contract enters the Payout Phase subject to the following:
The “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date” is the date the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase is entered and the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends.
No further withdrawals, purchase payments or any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase can be made after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date.
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Payout Start Date is the first day of the next Benefit Year after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to allow other Payout Start Dates on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice.
During the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, we will make scheduled fixed income payments to the Owner (or new Contract Owner) at the end of each month starting one month after the Payout Start Date. The amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 12, unless a payment frequency other than monthly is requested. The request must be in a form acceptable to us and processed by us before the first payment is made. (The amount of each payment will be adjusted accordingly; i.e., if the payment frequency requested is quarterly, the amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 4.) Payments will be made over a period certain such that total payments made will equal the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date; therefore, the final payment may be less than each of the previous payments. If your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), the period certain cannot exceed that which is required by such section and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Therefore, the amount of each payment under the SureIncome Option may be larger so that the sum of the payments made over this period equals the Benefit Base
33
on the Payout Start Date. Additionally, if your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we will not permit a change in the payment frequency or level.
If your Contract is not subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we reserve the right to allow other payment frequencies or levels on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice. In no event will we allow more than one change in the payment frequency or level during a Contract Year.
If the Owner dies before all payments have been made, the remaining payments will continue to be made to the new Contract Owner as scheduled.
Once all scheduled payments have been paid, the Contract will terminate.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals, purchase payments or take any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase after the commencement of the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date.
Investment Requirements
If you add a SureIncome Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest. These requirements are described in “Investment Requirements (Applicable to All Withdrawal Benefit Options)” below.
Cancellation of the SureIncome Option
You may not cancel the SureIncome Option prior to the 5th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date. On or after the 5th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date you may cancel the rider by notifying us in writing in a form satisfactory to us. We reserve the right to extend the date at which time the cancellation may occur to up to the 10th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date at any time in our sole discretion. Any such change we make will not apply to a SureIncome Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change.
Rider Trade-In Option
We offer a “Rider Trade-In Option” that allows you to cancel your SureIncome Option and immediately add a new Withdrawal Benefit Option (“New SureIncome Option”). In most states, we currently offer the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option as the New SureIncome Option under the Rider Trade-In Option. We may also offer other Options (“New Options”) under the Rider Trade-In Option. However, you may only select one Option under this Rider Trade-In Option at the time you cancel your SureIncome Option. Currently, we are also making the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option available at the time of your first utilization of this Rider Trade-In Option so that you have the ability to switch from the SureIncome Option to the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option. We may discontinue offering the TrueReturn Option under the Rider Trade-In Option for New SureIncome Options added in the future at anytime at our discretion. If we do so, SureIncome Options issued prior to this time will continue to have a TrueReturn Option available at the time of the first utilization of this SureIncome Rider Trade-In Option.
This Rider Trade-in Option is available provided all of the following conditions are met:
• | The trade-in must occur on or after the 5th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date. We reserve the right to extend the date at which time the trade-in may occur to up to the 10th calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date at any time in our sole discretion. Any change we make will not apply to a SureIncome Option that was added to your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change. |
• | The New SureIncome Option or any New Option will be made a part of your Contract on the date the existing Option is cancelled, provided it is cancelled for reasons other than the termination of your Contract. |
• | The New SureIncome Option or any New Option must be an Option that we make available for use with this Rider Trade-In Option. |
• | The issue requirements and terms and conditions of the New SureIncome Option or the New Option must be met as of the date any such Option is made a part of your Contract. Currently, if you select the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option utilizing the Rider Trade-in Option, the maximum age of any Contract Owner or Annuitant on the Rider Application Date is age 85. For a New SureIncome Option or New Option that may be offered and selected in the future utilizing the Rider Trade-In Option, issue age requirements may differ. |
If the New Option is a New SureIncome Option, it must provide that the new Benefit Payment be greater than or equal to your current Benefit Payment as of the date the Rider Trade-In Option is exercised, if applicable.
You should consult with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor before trading in your SureIncome Option.
Death of Owner or Annuitant
If the Owner or Annuitant dies and the Contract is continued under Option D of the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of your Contract, then the SureIncome Option will continue unless the Contract Owner (or new Contract Owner) elects to cancel the
34
SureIncome Option. If the SureIncome Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated. If the Contract is not continued under Option D above, then the SureIncome Option will terminate on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds.
If the Contract death settlement options are governed by an Endorsement and such Endorsement allows for the continuation of the Contract upon the death of the Owner or Annuitant by the spouse, the SureIncome Option will continue unless the new Owner elects to cancel the SureIncome Option. If the SureIncome Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated pursuant to Termination of the SureIncome Option below. If the Contract is not continued, then the SureIncome Option will terminate on the date we received a complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds.
Termination of the SureIncome Option
The SureIncome Option will terminate on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | The Benefit Base is reduced to zero; |
• | On the Payout Start Date (except if the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase as defined under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase section); |
• | On the date the Contract is terminated; |
• | On the date the SureIncome Option is cancelled; |
• | On the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds; or |
• | On the date the SureIncome Option is replaced with a New Option under the Rider Trade-In Option. |
SUREINCOME PLUS WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTION
We offer the SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option (“SureIncome Plus Option”), except in a limited number of states where it is not currently available, for an additional fee. The SureIncome Plus Option provides a guaranteed withdrawal benefit that gives you the right to take limited partial withdrawals, which may increase during the first 10 years of the Option, that total an amount equal to your purchase payments, subject to certain restrictions. Therefore, regardless of the subsequent fluctuations in the value of your Contract Value, you are entitled to a Benefit Payment each Benefit Year until your Benefit Base is exhausted (see defined terms below). The SureIncome Plus Option also provides an additional death benefit option.
The SureIncome Plus Option guarantees an amount up to the “Benefit Payment Remaining” which will be available for withdrawal from the Contract each “Benefit Year” until the “Benefit Base” (defined below) is reduced to zero. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero and the Benefit Base is still greater than zero, we will distribute an amount equal to the Benefit Base to the Contract Owner as described below under the “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase”. Prior to the commencement of the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the SureIncome Plus Option also provides an additional death benefit option, the SureIncome Return of Premium Death Benefit (“SureIncome ROP Death Benefit”). This death benefit option is described below under “Death of Owner or Annuitant” and in the Death Benefits section.
For purposes of the SureIncome Plus Option, “withdrawal” means the gross amount of a withdrawal before any applicable charges such as withdrawal charges, fees, taxes or adjustments including any applicable Market Value Adjustments and surrender charges. Under the SureIncome Plus Option, we do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value.
The “Rider Date” is the date the SureIncome Plus Option was made a part of your Contract. The initial Benefit Year is the period between the Rider Date and the first Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date. Each subsequent Benefit Year is identical to the Contract Year.
The SureIncome Plus Option is available at issue of the Contract, or may be added later, subject to availability and issue requirements. You may not add the SureIncome Plus Option to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the SureIncome Plus Option. Currently, you may have only one Withdrawal Benefit Option in effect on your Contract at one time. You may only have one of the following in effect on your Contract at the same time: a Withdrawal Benefit Option, a TrueReturn Option, or a Retirement Income Guarantee Option. The SureIncome Plus Option is available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 80 or younger on the effective date of the Rider (the “Rider Application Date”), (the maximum age may depend on your state), up to age 85 or younger if selected by utilizing the Rider Trade-in Option. (See Rider Trade-In Option, above, under TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option and SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option.) The SureIncome Plus Option may not be added to a Contract categorized as a Tax Sheltered Annuity as defined under Code Section 403(b) at this time. We reserve the right to make the SureIncome Plus Option available to such Contracts on a nondiscriminatory basis in the future at our discretion. Once added to your Contract, the SureIncome Plus Option may not be cancelled at any time.
We may discontinue offering the SureIncome Plus Option at any time to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the SureIncome Plus Option prior to the date of discontinuance.
35
Withdrawal Benefit Factor
The “Withdrawal Benefit Factor” is used to determine the “Benefit Payment” and Benefit Payment Remaining. We currently offer a Withdrawal Benefit Factor equal to 8%. We reserve the right to make other Withdrawal Benefit Factors available in the future for new SureIncome Plus Options and/or to eliminate the current Withdrawal Benefit Factor. Once a Withdrawal Benefit Factor has been established for a SureIncome Plus Option, it cannot be changed after the Rider Date.
Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining
The Benefit Payment is the amount available at the beginning of each Benefit Year that you may withdraw during that Benefit Year. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor and the Benefit Base are used to determine your Benefit Payment. The Benefit Payment Remaining is the amount remaining after any previous withdrawals in a Benefit Year that you may withdraw without reducing your Benefit Base and your SureIncome ROP Death Benefit by more than the amount of the withdrawal and without reducing your Benefit Payment available in future Benefit Years. Please note that any purchase payments or withdrawals made on a Contract Anniversary would be applied to the Benefit Year that just ended on that Contract Anniversary.
The Benefit Payment Remaining is equal to the Benefit Payment at the beginning of each Benefit Year.
During each Benefit Year the Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by purchase payments multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor (currently 8% for new SureIncome Plus Options) and reduced by the amount of each withdrawal. The Benefit Payment Remaining will never be less than zero.
On the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment is equal to the greater of:
• | The Contract Value multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor (currently 8% for new SureIncome Plus Options); or |
• | The value of the Benefit Payment of the previous Withdrawal Benefit Option (attached to your Contract) which is being terminated under a rider trade-in option, if applicable. See Rider Trade-In Option, above, under SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option for more information. |
After the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment will be increased by purchase payments multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor and affected by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment is unchanged. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment will be the lesser of: |
• | The Benefit Payment immediately prior to the withdrawal; or |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal, multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge that may be applicable.
On each of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date, the amount of the Benefit Payment may be increased based upon the maximum anniversary value of the Contract according to the following calculation. The Benefit Payment will be recalculated to the greater of:
• | The Benefit Payment following the application of all purchase payments and withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary; and |
• | The Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary, following the application of all purchase payments, withdrawals, and expenses multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. |
The Benefit Payment Remaining at the time of a withdrawal during a calendar year will be increased on a nondiscriminatory basis in order to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements on the Contract under which this Option has been elected. The Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by the excess of the IRS minimum distribution required on the Contract as calculated at the end of the previous calendar year and the Benefit Payment at the end of the previous calendar year. For the purposes of this calculation, the Benefit Payment Remaining will not be increased if a Withdrawal Benefit Option was not attached to this Contract as of the end of the previous calendar year. Note that any systematic withdrawal programs designed to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements may need to be modified to ensure guarantees under this Option are not impacted by the withdrawals. This modification may result in uneven payment amounts throughout the year.
36
Benefit Base
The Benefit Base is not available as a Contract Value or Settlement Value. The Benefit Base is used solely to help calculate the Rider Fee, the amount that may be withdrawn and payments that may be received under the SureIncome Plus Option. On the Rider Date, the Benefit Base is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be increased by purchase payments and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal. |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge that may be applicable.
On each of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date, the amount of the Benefit Base may be increased based upon the maximum anniversary value of the Contract according to the following calculation. The Benefit Base will be recalculated to the greater of:
• | The Benefit Base following the application of all purchase payments and withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary; and |
• | The Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary, following the application of all purchase payments, withdrawals and expenses. |
The Benefit Base may also be reduced in other situations as detailed in the “Contract Owner and Assignment of Payments or Interest” section below.
If the Benefit Base is reduced to zero, this SureIncome Plus Option will terminate.
For numerical examples that illustrate how the values defined under the SureIncome Plus Option are calculated, see Appendix I.
Contract Owner and Assignment of Payments or Interest
If you change the Contract Owner or assign any payments or interest under the Contract, as allowed, to any living or non-living person other than your spouse on or after the first calendar year anniversary of the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be recalculated to be the lesser of the Contract Value or the Benefit Base at the time of assignment.
Contract Value
If your Contract Value is reduced to zero due to fees or withdrawals and your Benefit Base is still greater than zero, your Contract will immediately enter the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase. Under the SureIncome Plus Option, we currently do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value. We reserve the right to change this at any time.
Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends and the Contract enters the Payout Phase.
The “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date” is the date the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase is entered and the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends. No further withdrawals, purchase payments or any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase of the Contract can be made after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. Since the Accumulation Phase ends at this point, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit no longer applies.
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Payout Start Date is the first day of the next Benefit Year after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to allow other Payout Start Dates on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice.
During the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, we will make scheduled fixed income payments to the Owner (or new Contract Owner) at the end of each month starting one month after the commencement of the Payout Start Date. The amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 12, unless a payment frequency other than monthly is requested. The request must be in a form acceptable to us and processed by us before the first payment is made. (The amount of each payment will be adjusted accordingly; i.e., if the payment frequency requested is quarterly, the amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 4.) Payments will be made over a period certain such that total payments made will equal the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date; therefore, the final payment may be less than each of the previous payments. If your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), the period certain cannot exceed that which is required by such section and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
37
Therefore, the amount of each payment under the SureIncome Plus Option may be larger so that the sum of the payments made over this period equals the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date. Additionally, if your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we will not permit a change in the payment frequency or level.
If your Contract is not subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we reserve the right to allow other payment frequencies or levels on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice. In no event will we allow more than one change in the payment frequency or level during a Contract Year.
If the Owner dies before all payments have been made, the remaining payments will continue to be made to the new Contract Owner as scheduled.
Once all scheduled payments have been paid, the Contract will terminate.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals, purchase payments or take any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date.
Investment Requirements
If you add a SureIncome Plus Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest. These requirements are described in “Investment Requirements (Applicable to All Withdrawal Benefit Options)” below.
Death of Owner or Annuitant
If the Owner or the Annuitant dies and the Contract is continued under Option D of the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of your Contract, then the SureIncome Plus Option will continue unless the Contract Owner (or new Contract Owner) elects to cancel the SureIncome Plus Option. If the SureIncome Plus Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated. If the Contract is not continued under Option D above, then the SureIncome Plus Option will terminate on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds.
If the Contract death settlement options are governed by an Endorsement and such Endorsement allows for the continuation of the Contract upon the death of the Owner or Annuitant by the spouse, the SureIncome Plus Option will continue unless the new Owner elects to cancel the SureIncome Plus Option. If the SureIncome Plus Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated pursuant to Termination of the SureIncome Plus Option below. If the Contract is not continued, then the SureIncome Plus Option will terminate on the date we received a complete request for settlement of the Death Proceeds.
The SureIncome Plus Option also makes available the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit. On the Rider Date, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be increased by purchase payments and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal. |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome Plus Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge that may be applicable.
For numerical examples that illustrate how the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit under the SureIncome Plus Option is calculated, see Appendix I.
Refer to the Death Benefits section for more details on the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit.
Termination of the SureIncome Plus Option
The SureIncome Plus Option will terminate on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | The Benefit Base is reduced to zero; |
• | On the Payout Start Date (except if the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase as defined under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase section); |
• | On the date the Contract is terminated; |
38
• | On the date the SureIncome Plus Option is cancelled as detailed under Death of Owner or Annuitant above; or |
• | On the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds. |
SUREINCOME FOR LIFE WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTION
We offer the SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option (“SureIncome For Life Option”), except in a limited number of states where it is not currently available, for an additional fee. The SureIncome For Life Option provides a guaranteed withdrawal benefit that gives you the right to take limited partial withdrawals, which may increase during the first 10 years of the Option, as long as the SureIncome Covered Life is alive, subject to certain restrictions. Therefore, regardless of subsequent fluctuations in the value of your Contract Value, you are entitled to a Benefit Payment each Benefit Year until the death of the SureIncome Covered Life (as defined below), subject to certain restrictions. The SureIncome For Life Option also provides an additional death benefit option.
The SureIncome For Life Option guarantees an amount up to the “Benefit Payment Remaining” which will be available for withdrawal from the Contract each “Benefit Year” as long as the SureIncome Covered Life is alive, subject to certain restrictions. The “SureIncome Covered Life” is the oldest Contract Owner, or the oldest Annuitant if the Contact Owner is a non-living entity, on the Rider Date. If the Contract Value is reduced to zero and the Benefit Payment is still greater than zero, we will distribute an amount equal to the Benefit Payment each year to the Contract Owner as described below under the “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase” as long as the SureIncome Covered Life is alive. Prior to the commencement of the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the SureIncome For Life Option also provides an additional death benefit option, the SureIncome Return of Premium Death Benefit (“SureIncome ROP Death Benefit”). This Option is described below under “Death of Owner or Annuitant” and in the Death Benefits section.
For purposes of the SureIncome For Life Option, “withdrawal” means the gross amount of a withdrawal before any applicable charges such as withdrawal charges, fees, taxes or adjustments including any applicable Market Value Adjustments and surrender charges. Under the SureIncome For Life Option, we do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value.
The “Rider Date” is the date the SureIncome For Life Option was made a part of your Contract. The initial Benefit Year is the period between the Rider Date and the first Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date. Each subsequent Benefit Year is identical to the Contract Year.
The SureIncome For Life Option is available at issue of the Contract, or may be added later, subject to availability and issue requirements. You may not add the SureIncome For Life Option to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the SureIncome For Life Option. Currently, you may have only one Withdrawal Benefit Option in effect on your Contract at one time. You may only have one of the following in effect on your Contract at the same time: a Withdrawal Benefit Option, a TrueReturn Option, or a Retirement Income Guarantee Option. The SureIncome For Life Option is only available if the oldest Contract Owner or the oldest Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is a non-living entity (i.e., the SureIncome Covered Life) is between the ages of 50 and 79, inclusive, on the effective date of the Rider (the “Rider Application Date”). (The maximum age may depend on your state.) The SureIncome For Life Option may not be added to a Contract categorized as a Tax Sheltered Annuity as defined under Code Section 403(b) at this time. We reserve the right to make the SureIncome For Life Option available to such Contracts on a nondiscriminatory basis in the future at our discretion. Once added to your Contract, the SureIncome For Life Option may not be cancelled at any time.
We may discontinue offering the SureIncome For Life Option at any time to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the SureIncome For Life Option prior to the date of discontinuance.
Withdrawal Benefit Factor
The “Withdrawal Benefit Factor” is used to determine the “Benefit Payment” and Benefit Payment Remaining. Prior to the earlier of the date of the first withdrawal after the issuance of the SureIncome For Life Option or the date the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Withdrawal Benefit Factor used in these determinations may change as shown below. Generally speaking, during this period the Withdrawal Benefit Factor will increase as the SureIncome Covered Life grows older. On the earlier of the date of the first withdrawal after the issuance of the SureIncome for Life Option or the date the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Withdrawal Benefit Factor will be fixed at the then applicable rate, based on the then current attained age of the SureIncome Covered Life, and will be used in all subsequent determinations of Benefit Payments and Benefit Payments Remaining. After this date the Withdrawal Benefit Factor will not change.
We currently offer the following Withdrawal Benefit Factors:
Attained Age of SureIncome Covered Life | Withdrawal Benefit Factor |
50 – 59 | 4% |
60 – 69 | 5% |
70 + | 6% |
39
The Withdrawal Benefit Factors and age ranges applicable to your Contract are set on the Rider Date. They cannot be changed after the SureIncome For Life Option has been added to your Contract. We reserve the right to make other Withdrawal Benefit Factors available in the future for new SureIncome For Life Options, change the age ranges to which they apply, and/or to eliminate currently available Withdrawal Benefit Factors.
Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining
The Benefit Payment is the amount available at the beginning of each Benefit Year that you may withdraw during that Benefit Year. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor and the Benefit Base are used to determine your Benefit Payment. The Benefit Payment Remaining is the amount remaining after any previous withdrawals in a Benefit Year that you may withdraw without reducing your Benefit Base and your SureIncome ROP Death Benefit by more than the amount of the withdrawal and without reducing your Benefit Payment available in future Benefit Years. Please note that any premiums or withdrawals made on a Contract Anniversary are applied to the Benefit Year that just ended on that Contract Anniversary.
The Benefit Payment Remaining is equal to the Benefit Payment at the beginning of each Benefit Year.
On the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment is equal to the Contract Value multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor based on the current attained age of the SureIncome Covered Life.
After the Rider Date, the Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by purchase payments multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor based on the current attained age of the SureIncome Covered Life. On the date of the first withdrawal after the Rider Date the Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining will equal the Withdrawal Benefit Factor based on the current attained age of the SureIncome Covered Life multiplied by the Benefit Base immediately after application of any purchase payments, but prior to the withdrawal on that date. The Withdrawal Benefit Factor used in all future calculations will not change.
After the first withdrawal, the Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by purchase payments multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. The Benefit Payment Remaining is reduced by the amount of any withdrawal. The Benefit Payment Remaining will never be less than zero.
After the first withdrawal, the Benefit Payment will be increased by purchase payments multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. The Benefit Payment is affected by withdrawals as follows:
• | If a withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment is unchanged. |
• | If a withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Payment will be the lesser of: |
• | The Benefit Payment immediately prior to the withdrawal; or |
• | The Benefit Base immediately after the withdrawal multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor. |
If the Benefit Payment is reduced to zero, the SureIncome For Life Option will terminate.
On each of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date, the amount of the Benefit Payment may be increased based upon the maximum anniversary value of the Contract according to the following calculation. The Benefit Payment will be recalculated to the greater of:
• | The Benefit Payment following application of all purchase payments and withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary; or |
• | The Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary, following the application of all purchase payments, withdrawals and expenses, multiplied by the Withdrawal Benefit Factor currently applicable. |
The Benefit Payment Remaining at the time of a withdrawal during a calendar year will be increased on a nondiscriminatory basis in order to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements on the Contract under which this Option has been elected. The Benefit Payment Remaining will be increased by the excess of the IRS minimum distribution required on the Contract as calculated at the end of the previous calendar year and the Benefit Payment at the end of the previous calendar year. For the purposes of this calculation, the Benefit Payment Remaining will not be increased if a Withdrawal Benefit Option was not attached to this Contract as of the end of the previous calendar year. Note that any systematic withdrawal programs designed to satisfy IRS minimum distribution requirements may need to be modified to ensure guarantees under this Option are not impacted by the withdrawals. This modification may result in uneven payment amounts throughout the year.
40
Benefit Base
The Benefit Base is not available as a Contract Value or Settlement Value. The Benefit Base is used solely to help calculate the Rider Fee, the amount that may be withdrawn and payments that may be received under the SureIncome For Life Option. On the Rider Date, the Benefit Base is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the Benefit Base will be increased by purchase payments and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Benefit Base will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The Benefit Base immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal (this value cannot be less than zero). |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge that may be applicable.
On each of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date, the amount of the Benefit Base may be increased based upon the maximum anniversary value of the Contract according to the following calculation. The Benefit Base will be recalculated to the greater of:
• | The Benefit Base following the application of all purchase payments and withdrawals on that Contract Anniversary; and |
• | The Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary, following the application of all purchase payments, withdrawals and expenses. |
For numerical examples that illustrate how the values defined under the SureIncome For Life Option are calculated, see Appendix J.
Contract Value
If your Contract Value is reduced to zero due to fees or withdrawals and your Benefit Payment is still greater than zero, your Contract will immediately enter the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase. Under the SureIncome For Life Option, we currently do not treat a withdrawal that reduces the Contract Value to less than $1,000 as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value. We reserve the right to change this at any time.
Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends and the Contract enters the Payout Phase.
The “Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date” is the date the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase is entered and the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends. No further withdrawals, purchase payments or any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase of the Contract can be made after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. Since the Accumulation Phase of the Contract ends at this point, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit no longer applies.
Under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, the Payout Start Date is the first day of the next Benefit Year after the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date. We reserve the right to allow other Payout Start Dates on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice.
During the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase, we will make scheduled fixed income payments to the Owner (or new Contract Owner) at the end of each month starting one month after the Payout Start Date. The amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 12, unless a payment frequency other than monthly is requested. The request must be in a form acceptable to us and processed by us before the first payment is made. (The amount of each payment will be adjusted accordingly; i.e. if the payment frequency requested is quarterly, the amount of each payment will be equal to the Benefit Payment divided by 4.) Payments will be made until the later of the death of the SureIncome Covered Life or over a period certain based on the total payments made equaling at least the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date. If your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), the period certain cannot exceed that which is required by such section and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Therefore, the amount of each payment under the SureIncome For Life Option may be larger during the period certain so that the sum of the payments made over this period equals the Benefit Base on the Payout Start Date. Additionally, if your Contract is subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we will not permit a change in the payment frequency or level.
If your Contract is not subject to Code Section 401(a)(9), we reserve the right to allow other payment frequencies or levels on a nondiscriminatory basis without prior notice. In no event will we allow more than one change in the payment frequency or level during a Contract Year.
If the Owner dies before all payments have been made, the remaining payments will continue to be made to the new Contract Owner as scheduled.
41
Once all scheduled payments have been paid, the Contract will terminate.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals, purchase payments or take any other actions associated with the Accumulation Phase after the commencement of the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Start Date.
Investment Requirements
If you add a SureIncome For Life Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest. These requirements are described in “Investment Requirements (Applicable to All Withdrawal Benefit Options)” below.
Death of Owner or Annuitant
If the SureIncome Covered Life dies during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract, the SureIncome For Life Option will terminate on the date of the SureIncome Covered Life’s death. If the Contract Owner or the Annuitant who is not the SureIncome Covered Life dies and the Contract is continued under Option D of the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of your Contract, then the SureIncome For Life Option will continue unless the Contract Owner (or new Contract Owner) elects to cancel the SureIncome For Life Option. If the SureIncome For Life Option is continued, it will remain in effect until terminated. If the Contract is not continued under Option D, then the SureIncome For Life Option will terminate on the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds.
The SureIncome For Life Option also makes available the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit. The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is only available upon the death of the SureIncome Covered Life. If a Contract Owner, Annuitant or Co-Annuitant who is not the SureIncome Covered Life dies, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is not applicable. On the Rider Date, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be increased by purchase payments and decreased by withdrawals as follows:
• | If the withdrawal is less than or equal to the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be reduced by the amount of the withdrawal. |
• | If the withdrawal is greater than the Benefit Payment Remaining in effect immediately prior to the withdrawal, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit will be the lesser of: |
• | The Contract Value immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal; or |
• | The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit immediately prior to withdrawal less the amount of the withdrawal. |
As used in the above calculation, Contract Value incorporates the impact of any purchase payments received on the date of this withdrawal, but before the application of any SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option Fee, Spousal Protection Benefit Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts Fee or Contract Maintenance Charge applicable.
For numerical examples that illustrate how the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit under the SureIncome For Life Option is calculated, see Appendix J.
Refer to the Death Benefits section for more details on the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit.
Termination of the SureIncome For Life Option
The SureIncome For Life Option will terminate on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | The Benefit Payment is reduced to zero; |
• | On the Payout Start Date (except if the Contract enters the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase as defined under the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase section); |
• | On the date the Contract is terminated; |
• | On the date the SureIncome Covered Life is removed from the Contract for any reason, and is no longer a Contract Owner or Annuitant under the Contract (if the Covered Life continues as only the Beneficiary, the Option will terminate); |
• | On the date the SureIncome For Life Option is cancelled as detailed under Death of Owner or Annuitant section above; |
• | On the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds; or |
• | On the date the SureIncome Covered Life dies if the SureIncome Covered Life dies prior to the Payout Start Date. |
INVESTMENT REQUIREMENTS (APPLICABLE TO ALL WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTIONS)
If you add a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract, you must adhere to certain requirements related to the investment alternatives in which you may invest. The specific requirements are described below in more detail and will depend on your current Model Portfolio Option and your Withdrawal Benefit Factor(s). These requirements may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain Variable Sub-Accounts or on certain Fixed Account Options, exclusion of certain Variable Sub-Accounts
42
or of certain Fixed Account Options, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts, and restrictions on transfers to or from certain investment alternatives. We may also require that you use the Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program. We may change the specific requirements that are applicable at any time in our sole discretion. Any changes we make will not apply to a Withdrawal Benefit Option that was made a part of your Contract prior to the implementation date of the change, except for changes made due to a change in investment alternatives available under the Contract. This restriction does not apply to a New SureIncome Option or to a New Option elected pursuant to the Rider Trade-In Option. We reserve the right to have requirements unique to specific Withdrawal Benefit Factors if we make other Withdrawal Benefit Factors available in the future including specific model portfolio options (“Model Portfolio Options”) as described below available only to certain Withdrawal Benefit Factors.
When you add a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract, you must allocate your entire Contract Value as follows:
(1) | to a Model Portfolio Option available as described below; |
(2) | to the DCA Fixed Account Option and then transfer all purchase payments and interest to an available Model Portfolio Option; or |
(3) | to a combination of (1) and (2) above. |
With respect to (2) and (3) above, the requirements for the DCA Fixed Account Option must be met. See the “Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option” section of this prospectus for more information.
On the Rider Date, you must select only one of the Model Portfolio Options to which to allocate your Contract Value. After the Rider Date, you may transfer your entire Contract Value to any of the other available Model Portfolio Options. We currently offer several Model Portfolio Options. The Model Portfolio Options that are available may differ depending upon the effective date of your Withdrawal Benefit Option and your Withdrawal Benefit Factor. Please refer to the Model Portfolio Option and TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options sections of this prospectus for more details. We may add other Model Portfolio Options in the future. We also may remove Model Portfolio Options in the future anytime prior to the date you select such Model Portfolio Option. In addition, if the investment alternatives available under the Contract change, we may revise the Model Portfolio Options. The following table summarizes the Model Portfolio Options currently available for use:
*Model Portfolio Option 1 |
*TrueBalance Conservative Model Portfolio Option |
*TrueBalance Moderately Conservative Model Portfolio Option |
*TrueBalance Moderate Model Portfolio Option |
*TrueBalance Moderately Aggressive Model Portfolio Option |
*TrueBalance Aggressive Model Portfolio Option |
You may not allocate any of your Contract Value to the Standard Fixed Account Option or to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option. You must transfer any portion of your Contract Value that is allocated to the Standard Fixed Account Option or to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to adding a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract. Transfers from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. You may allocate any portion of your purchase payments to the DCA Fixed Account Option on the Rider Date, provided the DCA Fixed Account Option is available with your Contract and in your state. See the “Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option” section of this prospectus for more information. We use the term “Transfer Period Account” to refer to each purchase payment allocation made to the DCA Fixed Account Option for a specified term length. At the expiration of a Transfer Period Account, any remaining amounts in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your most recent percentage allocation selections for your Model Portfolio Option.
Any subsequent purchase payments made to your Contract will be allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your specific instructions or your allocation for the previous purchase payment (for Model Portfolio Option 1) or the percentage allocation for your current Model Portfolio Option (for TrueBalance Model Portfolio Options) unless you request that the purchase payment be allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option. Purchase payments allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option must be $100 or more. Any withdrawals you request will reduce your Contract Value invested in each of the investment alternatives on a pro rata basis in the proportion that your Contract Value in each bears to your total Contract Value in all investment alternatives, unless you request otherwise.
Model Portfolio Option 1.
If you choose Model Portfolio Option 1 or transfer your entire Contract Value into Model Portfolio Option 1, we have divided the Variable Sub-Accounts into two separate categories: “Available,” and “Excluded.” Currently, you may allocate up to 100% of your Contract Value to the Available Variable Sub-Accounts in any manner you choose. You may not allocate ANY PORTION of your Contract Value to the Excluded Variable Sub-Accounts. You may make transfers among any of the Available Variable Sub-Accounts. However, each transfer you make will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.

* As noted above, certain Variable Sub-Accounts are closed to new investments. If you invested in these Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the effective close date, you may continue your investments unless you subsequently withdraw or otherwise transfer your entire Contract Value from that Variable Sub-Account. If prior to the effective close date, you enrolled in one of our automatic transaction programs, such as automatic additions, portfolio rebalancing or dollar cost averaging, we will continue to effect automatic transactions to these Variable Sub-Accounts in accordance with that program unless you subsequently withdraw or otherwise transfer your entire Contract Value from that Variable Sub-Account.

If you choose to add this TrueReturn Option on or after the effective close date, you must transfer any portion of your Contract Value that is allocated to these Variable Sub-Accounts to any of the remaining Variable Sub-Accounts available with this TrueReturn Option prior to adding it to your Contract.
TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options.
If you choose one of the TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options or transfer your entire Contract Value into one of the TrueBalanceSM Model Portfolio Options, you may not choose the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts that comprise that TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. Each TrueBalance Model Portfolio involves an allocation of assets among a group of pre-selected Variable Sub-Accounts. You cannot make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts nor vary the Variable Sub-Accounts that comprise a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. If you choose a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, we will invest and periodically reallocate your Contract Value according to the allocation percentages and requirements for the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option you have selected currently. For more information regarding the TrueBalance program, see the “TrueBalanceSM Asset Allocation Program” section of this prospectus. However, note that the restrictions described in this section, specifically the restrictions on transfers and the requirement that all of your Contract Value be allocated to a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, apply to the TrueBalance program only if you have added a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract.
Investment Alternatives: The Variable Sub-Accounts
You may allocate your purchase payments to various* Variable Sub-Accounts. Each Variable Sub-Account invests in the shares of a corresponding Portfolio. Each Portfolio has its own investment objective(s) and policies. We briefly describe the Portfolios below.
For more complete information about each Portfolio, including expenses and risks associated with each Portfolio, please refer to the prospectuses for the Funds. We will mail to you a prospectus for each Portfolio related to the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you allocate your purchase payment.
The Variable Sub-Accounts that you select are your choice - we do not provide investment advice, nor do we recommend any particular Variable Sub-Account. Please consult with a qualified investment professional if you wish to obtain investment advice. You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the investment alternatives when making an allocation to the Variable Sub-Accounts. To obtain any or all of the underlying Fund prospectuses, please contact us at 1-800-457-7617 or go to www.accessallstate.com.

Amounts you allocate to Variable Sub-Accounts may grow in value, decline in value, or grow less than you expect, depending on the investment performance of the Portfolios in which those Variable Sub-Accounts invest. You bear the investment risk that the Portfolios might not meet their investment objectives. Shares of the Portfolios are not deposits, or obligations of, or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Federal Reserve Board or any other agency.
Variable insurance portfolios might not be managed by the same portfolio managers who manage retail mutual funds with similar names. These portfolios are likely to differ from similarly named retail mutual funds in assets, cash flow, and tax matters. Accordingly, the holdings and investment results of a variable insurance portfolio can be expected to be higher or lower than the investment results of a similarly named retail mutual fund.
TRUEBALANCESM ASSET ALLOCATION PROGRAM
The TrueBalance asset allocation program (“TrueBalance program”) is no longer offered for new enrollments. If you enrolled in the TrueBalance program prior to January 31, 2008, you may remain in the program. If you terminate your enrollment or otherwise transfer your Contract Value out of the program, you may not re-enroll.
There is no additional charge for the TrueBalance program. Participation in the TrueBalance program may be limited if you have elected certain Contract Options that impose restrictions on the investment alternatives which you may invest, such as the Income Protection Benefit Option, the TrueReturn Accumulation Benefit Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option. See the sections of this prospectus discussing these Options for more information.
Asset allocation is the process by which your Contract Value is invested in different asset classes in a way that matches your risk tolerance, time horizon, and investment goals. Theoretically, different asset classes tend to behave differently under various economic and market conditions. By spreading your Contract Value across a range of asset classes, you may, over time, be able to reduce the risk of investment volatility and potentially enhance returns. Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
Your sales representative helps you determine whether participating in an asset allocation program is appropriate for you. You complete a questionnaire to identify your investment style. Based on your investment style, you select one asset allocation model portfolio among the available model portfolios which may range from conservative to aggressive. Your Contract Value is allocated among the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your selected model portfolio. Not all Variable Sub-Accounts are available in any one model portfolio, and you must only allocate your Contract Value to the limited number of Variable Sub-Accounts available in the model portfolio you select. You should not select a model portfolio without first consulting with your sales representative.
Allstate Life does not intend to provide any personalized investment advice in connection with the TrueBalance program and you should not rely on this program as providing individualized investment recommendations to you.
Allstate Life retained an independent investment management firm (“investment management firm”) to construct the TrueBalance model portfolios. The investment management firm does not provide advice to Allstate Life’s Contract Owners. Neither Allstate Life nor the investment management firm is acting for any Contract Owner as a “fiduciary” or as an “investment manager,” as such terms are defined under applicable laws and regulations relating to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
The investment management firm does not take into account any information about any Contract Owner or any Contract Owner’s assets when creating, providing or maintaining any TrueBalance model portfolio. Individual Contract Owners should ultimately rely on their own judgment and/or the judgment of a financial advisor in making their investment decisions. Neither Allstate Life nor the investment management firm is responsible for determining the suitability of the TrueBalance model portfolios for the Contract Owners’ purposes.
Each of the five model portfolios specifies an allocation among a mix of Variable Sub-Accounts that is designed to meet the investment goals of the applicable investment style. On the business day we approve your participation in the TrueBalance program, we automatically reallocate any existing Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts according to the model portfolio you selected. If any portion of your existing Contract Value is allocated to the Standard Fixed Account or MVA Fixed Account Options and you wish to allocate any portion of it to the model portfolio, you must transfer that portion to the Variable Sub-Accounts. In addition, as long as you participate in the TrueBalance program, you must allocate all of your purchase payments to the Fixed Account Options and/or the Variable Sub-Accounts currently offered in your model portfolio. Any purchase payments you allocate to the DCA Fixed Account Option will be automatically transferred, along with interest, in equal monthly installments to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to the model portfolio you selected.
We use the term “Transfer Period Account” to refer to each purchase payment allocation made to the DCA Fixed Account Option for a specified term length. At the expiration of a Transfer Period Account any remaining amounts in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred to the Variable Sub-Accounts according to the percentage allocation for the model portfolio you selected.
Allstate Life may offer new or revised TrueBalance model portfolios at any time, and may retain a different investment management firm to create any such new or revised TrueBalance model portfolios. Allstate Life will not automatically reallocate your Contract Value allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts to match any new or revised model portfolios that are offered. If you are invested in the
50
TrueBalance model portfolio, your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor will notify you of any new or revised TrueBalance model portfolios that may be available. If you wish to invest in accordance with a new or revised TrueBalance model portfolio, you must submit a transfer request to transfer your Contract Value in your existing TrueBalance model portfolio in accordance with the new TrueBalance model portfolio. If you do not request a transfer to a new TrueBalance model portfolio, we will continue to rebalance your Contract Value in accordance with your existing TrueBalance model portfolio. At any given time, you may only elect a TrueBalance model portfolio that is available at the time of election.
You may only select one model portfolio at a time. However, you may change your selection of model portfolio at any time, provided you select a currently available model portfolio. Each change you make in your model portfolio selection will count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee. You should consult with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor before making a change to your model portfolio selection to determine whether the new model portfolio is appropriate for your needs.
Since the performance of each Variable Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage allocated to each Variable Sub-Account, at least once every calendar quarter we will automatically rebalance all of your Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts according to your currently selected model portfolio.
Unless you notify us otherwise, any purchase payments you make after electing the TrueBalance program will be allocated to your model portfolio and/or to the Fixed Account Options according to your most recent instructions on file with us. Once you elect to participate in the TrueBalance program, you may allocate subsequent purchase payments to any of the Fixed Account Options available with your Contract and/or to any of the Variable Sub-Accounts included in your model portfolio, but only according to the allocation specifications of that model portfolio. You may not allocate subsequent purchase payments to a Variable Sub-Account that is not included in your model portfolio. Subsequent purchase payments allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the end of the next calendar quarter according to the allocation percentages for your currently selected model portfolio.
The following applies to TrueBalance model portfolios selected with the TrueReturn Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option:
For TrueBalance model portfolios selected with the TrueReturn Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option, you must allocate all of your Contract Value to a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, and you may not choose the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts in the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option. If you choose a TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option, we will invest and periodically reallocate your Contract Value according to the allocation percentages and requirements for the TrueBalance Model Portfolio Option you selected. You may, however, elect to reallocate your entire Contract Value from one Model Portfolio Option to another Model Portfolio Option available with your Option.
If you own the TrueReturn Option, on the Rider Maturity Date, the Contract Value may be increased due to the Option. Any increase will be allocated to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account. You may make transfers from this Variable Sub-Account to the Fixed Account Options (as allowed) or to the Variable Sub-Accounts included in your model portfolio, but only according to the allocation specification of that model portfolio. All of your Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the next calendar quarter according to the allocation percentages for your currently selected model portfolio.
The following applies to TrueBalance model portfolios selected without the TrueReturn Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option:
For TrueBalance model portfolios selected without the TrueReturn or a Withdrawal Benefit Option, you may not make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to any of the other Variable Sub-Accounts. You may make transfers, as allowed under the Contract, from the Fixed Account Options to other Fixed Account Options or to the Variable Sub-Accounts included in your model portfolio, but only according to the allocation specifications of that model portfolio. You may make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to any of the Fixed Account Options, except the DCA Fixed Account Option. Transfers to Fixed Account Options may be inconsistent with the investment style you selected and with the purpose of the TrueBalance program. However, all of your Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the next calendar quarter according to the percentage allocations for your currently selected model portfolio. You should consult with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor before making transfers.
If you make a partial withdrawal from any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your remaining Contract Value in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be automatically rebalanced at the end of the next calendar quarter according to the percentage allocations for your currently selected model portfolio. If you are participating in the Systematic Withdrawal Program when you add the TrueBalance program or change your selection of model portfolios, you may need to update your withdrawal instructions. If you have any questions, please consult your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor.
Your participation in the TrueBalance program is subject to the program’s terms and conditions, and you may change model portfolios or terminate your participation in the TrueBalance program at any time by notifying us in a form satisfactory to us. We reserve the right to modify or terminate the TrueBalance program at any time.
Investment Alternatives: The Fixed Account Options
51
You may allocate all or a portion of your purchase payments to the Fixed Account Options. The Fixed Account Options we offer include the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option, the Standard Fixed Account Option, and the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option. We may offer additional Fixed Account Options in the future. Some Options are not available in all states. In addition, Allstate Life may limit the availability of some Fixed Account Options. Please consult with your representative for current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to the Fixed Account does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the Fixed Account.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
The Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option (“DCA Fixed Account Option”) is one of the investment alternatives that you can use to establish a Dollar Cost Averaging Program, as described in the Investment Alternatives: Transfers - Dollar Cost Averaging Program section.
This option allows you to allocate purchase payments to the Fixed Account that will then automatically be transferred, along with interest, in equal monthly installments to the investment alternatives that you have selected. In the future, we may offer other installment frequencies in our discretion. Each purchase payment allocated to the DCA Fixed Account Option must be at least $100.
At the time you allocate a purchase payment to the DCA Fixed Account Option, you must specify the term length over which the transfers are to take place. We use the term “Transfer Period Account” to refer to each purchase payment allocation made to the DCA Fixed Account Option for a specified term length. You establish a new Transfer Period Account each time you allocate a purchase payment to the DCA Fixed Account Option. We currently offer term lengths from which you may select for your Transfer Period Account(s), ranging from 3 to 12 months. We may modify or eliminate the term lengths we offer in the future. Refer to Appendix A for more information.
Your purchase payments will earn interest while in the DCA Fixed Account Option at the interest rate in effect at the time of the allocation, depending on the term length chosen for the Transfer Period Account and the type of Contract you have. The interest rates may also differ from those available for other Fixed Account Options. The minimum interest rate associated with the DCA Fixed Account Option is based upon state requirements and the date an application to purchase a Contract is signed. This minimum interest rate will not change after Contract issue.
You must transfer all of your money, plus accumulated interest, out of a Transfer Period Account to other investment alternatives in equal monthly installments during the term of the Transfer Period Account. We reserve the right to restrict the investment alternatives available for transfers from any Transfer Period Account. You may not transfer money from the Transfer Period Accounts to any of the Fixed Account Options available under your Contract. The first transfer will occur on the next Valuation Date after you establish a Transfer Period Account. If we do not receive an allocation instruction from you when we receive the purchase payment, we will transfer each installment to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account until we receive a different allocation instruction. At the expiration of a Transfer Period Account any remaining amounts in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account unless you request a different investment alternative. Transferring Contract Value to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account in this manner may not be consistent with the theory of dollar cost averaging described in the Investment Alternatives: Transfers - Dollar Cost Averaging Program section.
If you discontinue the DCA Fixed Account Option before the expiration of a Transfer Period Account, we will transfer any remaining amount in the Transfer Period Account to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account unless you request a different investment alternative.
If you have a TrueReturn Option or Withdrawal Benefit Option, at the expiration of a Transfer Period Account or if you discontinue the DCA Fixed Account Option any amounts remaining in the Transfer Period Account will be transferred according to the investment requirements applicable to the Option you selected.
You may not transfer money into the DCA Fixed Account Option or add to an existing Transfer Period Account. You may not use the Automatic Additions Program to allocate purchase payments to the DCA Fixed Account Option.
The DCA Fixed Account Option may not be available in your state. Please check with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor for availability.
STANDARD FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
You may allocate purchase payments or transfer amounts into the Standard Fixed Account Option. Each such allocation establishes a “Guarantee Period Account” within the Standard Fixed Account Option (“Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account”), which is defined by the date of the allocation and the length of the initial interest rate guarantee period (“Standard Fixed Guarantee Period”). You may not allocate a purchase payment or transfer to any existing Guarantee Period Account. Each purchase payment or transfer allocated to a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account must be at least $100.
52
At the time you allocate a purchase payment or transfer amount to the Standard Fixed Account Option, you must select the Guarantee Period for that allocation from among the available Standard Fixed Guarantee Periods. For Allstate Variable Annuity Contracts, we currently offer Standard Fixed Guarantee Periods of 1, 3, 5 and 7 years in length. For Allstate Variable Annuity – L Share Contracts, we currently are not offering the Standard Fixed Account Option. Refer to Appendix A for more information. We may offer other Guarantee Periods in the future. If you allocate a purchase payment to the Standard Fixed Account Option, but do not select a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period for the new Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account, we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the same Standard Fixed Guarantee Period as the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account of your most recent purchase payment or transfer. If we no longer offer that Standard Fixed Guarantee Period, then we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the next shortest term currently offered. If you have not made a prior allocation to a Guarantee Period Account, then we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account of the shortest Standard Fixed Guarantee Period we are offering at that time.
Some Standard Fixed Guarantee Periods are not available in all states. Please check with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor for availability.
The amount you allocate to a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account will earn interest at the interest rate in effect for that Standard Fixed Guarantee Period at the time of the allocation. Interest rates may differ depending on the type of Contract you have and may also differ from those available for other Fixed Account Options. The minimum interest rate associated with the Standard Fixed Account Option is based upon state requirements and the date an application to purchase a Contract is signed. This minimum interest rate will not change after Contract issue.
In any Contract Year, the combined amount of withdrawals and transfers from a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account may not exceed 30% of the amount used to establish that Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account. This limitation is waived if you withdraw your entire Contract Value. It is also waived for amounts in a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account during the 30 days following its renewal date (“30-Day Window”), described below, and for a single withdrawal made by your surviving spouse within one year of continuing the Contract after your death.
Amounts under the 30% limit that are not withdrawn in a Contract Year do not carry over to subsequent Contract Years.
At the end of a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period and each year thereafter, we will declare a renewal interest rate that will be guaranteed for 1 year. Subsequent renewal dates will be on the anniversaries of the first renewal date. Prior to a renewal date, we will send you a notice that will outline the options available to you. During the 30-Day Window following the expiration of a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the 30% limit for transfers and withdrawals from that Guarantee Period Account is waived and you may elect to:
• | transfer all or part of the money from the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account to establish a new Guarantee Period Account within the Standard Fixed Account Option or the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option, if available; or |
• | transfer all or part of the money from the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account to other investment alternatives available at the time; or |
• | withdraw all or part of the money from the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account. Withdrawal charges and taxes may apply. |
Withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules will count against the 30% limit. The 30% limit will be waived for a Contract Year to the extent that:
• | you have already exceeded the 30% limit and you must still make a withdrawal during that Contract Year to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules; or |
• | you have not yet exceeded the 30% limit but you must make a withdrawal during that Contract Year to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules, and such withdrawal will put you over the 30% limit. |
The money in the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account will earn interest at the declared renewal rate from the renewal date until the date we receive notification of your election. If we receive notification of your election to make a transfer or withdrawal from a renewing Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account on or before the renewal date, the transfer or withdrawal will be deemed to have occurred on the renewal date. If we receive notification of your election to make a transfer or withdrawal from the renewing Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account after the renewal date, but before the expiration of the 30-Day Window, the transfer or withdrawal will be deemed to have occurred on the day we receive such notice. Any remaining balance not withdrawn or transferred from the renewing Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account will continue to earn interest until the next renewal date at the declared renewal rate. If we do not receive notification from you within the 30-Day Window, we will assume that you have elected to renew the Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account and the amount in the renewing Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account will continue to earn interest at the declared renewal rate until the next renewal date, and will be subject to all restrictions of the Standard Fixed Account Option.
The Standard Fixed Account Option currently is not available with the Allstate Variable Annuity – L Share Contract.
53
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTED FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
You may allocate purchase payments or transfer amounts into the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option. Each such allocation establishes a Guarantee Period Account within the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option (“Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account”), which is defined by the date of the allocation and the length of the initial interest rate guarantee period (“Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period”). You may not allocate a purchase payment or transfer to any existing Guarantee Period Account. Each purchase payment or transfer allocated to a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account must be at least $100.
At the time you allocate a purchase payment or transfer amount to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option, you must select the Guarantee Period for that allocation from among the Guarantee Periods available for the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option (“Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Periods”). We currently offer Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Periods of 3, 5, 7, and 10 years. Refer to Appendix A for more information. We may offer other Guarantee Periods in the future. If you allocate a purchase payment to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option, but do not select a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period for the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the same Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period as the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account of your most recent purchase payment or transfer. If we no longer offer that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, then we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the next shortest term currently offered. If you have not made a prior allocation to a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, then we will allocate the purchase payment or transfer to a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account of the shortest Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period we are offering at that time. The Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option is not available in all states. Please check with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor for availability.
The amount you allocate to a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will earn interest at the interest rate in effect for that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period at the time of the allocation. Interest rates may differ depending on the type of Contract you have and may also differ from those available for other Fixed Account Options.
Withdrawals and transfers from a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment may also apply to amounts in the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option if we pay Death Proceeds or if the Payout Start Date begins on a day other than during the 30-day period after such Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account expires (“30-Day MVA Window”). We will not make a Market Value Adjustment if you make a transfer or withdrawal during the 30-Day MVA Window.
We apply a Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from the time you first allocate money to a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to the time the money is taken out of that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account under the circumstances described above. We use the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15 (“Treasury Rate”) to calculate the Market Value Adjustment. We do so by comparing the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period at the time the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account is established with the Treasury Rate for the same maturity at the time the money is taken from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in interest rates. If interest rates have increased since the establishment of a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the Market Value Adjustment, together with any applicable withdrawal charges, premium taxes, and income tax withholdings could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal from a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to an amount less than the purchase payment used to establish that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account.
Generally, if at the time you establish a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable Treasury Rate at the time money is to be taken from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the Market Value Adjustment will be positive. Conversely, if at the time you establish a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the applicable Treasury Rate is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate at the time the money is to be taken from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the Market Value Adjustment will be negative.
For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and allocate part of the initial purchase payment to the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option to establish a 5-year Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account. Assume that the 5-year Treasury Rate at that time is 4.50%. Next, assume that at the end of the 3rd year, you withdraw money from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account. If, at that time, the 5-year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be positive. Conversely, if the 5-year Treasury Rate at that time is 4.80%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative.
The formula used to calculate the Market Value Adjustment and numerical examples illustrating its application are shown in Appendix B of this prospectus.
54
At the end of a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account expires and we will automatically transfer the money from such Guarantee Period Account to establish a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the same Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, unless you notify us otherwise. The new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will be established as of the day immediately following the expiration date of the expiring Market Value Adjusted Guarantee Period Account (“New Account Start Date.”) If the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period is no longer being offered, we will establish a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the next shortest Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period available. Prior to the expiration date, we will send you a notice, which will outline the options available to you. During the 30-Day MVA Window a Market Value Adjustment will not be applied to transfers and withdrawals from the expiring Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account and you may elect to:
• | transfer all or part of the money from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to establish a new Guarantee Period Account within the Standard Fixed Account Option or the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option, if available; or |
• | transfer all or part of the money from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to other investment alternatives available at the time; or |
• | withdraw all or part of the money from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account. Withdrawal charges and taxes may apply. |
The money in the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will earn interest at the interest rate declared for the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account from the New Account Start Date until the date we receive notification of your election. If we receive notification of your election to make a transfer or withdrawal from an expiring Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account on or before the New Account Start Date, the transfer or withdrawal will be deemed to have occurred on the New Account Start Date. If we receive notification of your election to make a transfer or withdrawal from the expiring Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account after the New Account Start Date, but before the expiration of the 30-Day MVA Window, the transfer or withdrawal will be deemed to have occurred on the day we receive such notice. Any remaining balance not withdrawn or transferred will earn interest for the term of the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, at the interest rate declared for such Account. If we do not receive notification from you within the 30-Day Window, we will assume that you have elected to transfer the amount in the expiring Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account to establish a new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account with the same Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, and the amount in the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will continue to earn interest at the interest rate declared for the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, and will be subject to all restrictions of the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option. If we no longer offer that Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period for the new Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account will be the next shortest term length we offer for the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option at that time, and the interest rate will be the rate declared by us at that time for such term.
Investment Alternatives: Transfers
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the investment alternatives. You may not transfer Contract Value to the DCA Fixed Account Option or add to an existing Transfer Period Account. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we provided or by telephone according to the procedure described below.
You may make up to 12 transfers per Contract Year without charge. A transfer fee equal to 1.00% of the amount transferred applies to each transfer after the 12th transfer in any Contract Year. This fee may be changed, but in no event will it exceed 2.00% of the amount transferred. Multiple transfers on a single Valuation Date are considered a single transfer for purposes of assessing the transfer fee. If you added the TrueReturn Option or a Withdrawal Benefit Option to your Contract, certain restrictions on transfers apply. See the “TrueReturnSM Accumulation Benefit Option” and “Withdrawal Benefit Options” sections of this prospectus for more information.
The minimum amount that you may transfer from the Standard Fixed Account Option, Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option or a Variable Sub-Account is $100 or the total remaining balance in the Standard Fixed Account Option, Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option or the Variable Sub-Account, if less. These limitations do not apply to the DCA Fixed Account Option. The total amount that you may transfer or withdraw from a Standard Fixed Guarantee Period Account in a Contract Year is 30% of the amount used to establish that Guarantee Period Account. See “Standard Fixed Account Option”. The minimum amount that can be transferred to the Standard Fixed Account Option and the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option is $100.
We will process transfer requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for that Date. We will process requests completed after 3:00 p.m. on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract permits us to defer transfers from the Fixed Account Options for up to 6 months from the date we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers from any Fixed Account Option for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by applicable law. Any interest would be payable from the date we receive the transfer request to the date we make the transfer.
55
We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.
TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE
During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts so as to change the relative weighting of the Variable Sub-Accounts on which your variable income payments will be based. You may make up to 12 transfers per Contract Year within each Income Plan. You may not convert any portion of your fixed income payments into variable income payments. You may not make transfers among Income Plans. You may make transfers from the variable income payments to the fixed income payments to increase the proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments, unless you have selected the Income Protection Benefit Option.
TELEPHONE OR ELECTRONIC TRANSFERS
You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-457-7617. The cut-off time for telephone transfer requests is 3:00 p.m. Central Time. In the event that the New York Stock Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in the event that the Exchange closes early for a period of time but then reopens for trading on the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of the close of the Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone requests received from you at any telephone number other than the number that appears in this paragraph or received after the close of trading on the Exchange. If you own the Contract with a joint Contract Owner, unless we receive contrary instructions, we will accept instructions from either you or the other Contract Owner.
We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege, as well as any other electronic or automated means we previously approved, at any time without notice.
We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may be liable for such losses.
MARKET TIMING & EXCESSIVE TRADING
The Contracts are intended for long-term investment. Market timing and excessive trading can potentially dilute the value of Variable Sub-Accounts and can disrupt management of a Portfolio and raise its expenses, which can impair Portfolio performance and adversely affect your Contract Value. Our policy is not to accept knowingly any money intended for the purpose of market timing or excessive trading. Accordingly, you should not invest in the Contract if your purpose is to engage in market timing or excessive trading, and you should refrain from such practices if you currently own a Contract.
We seek to detect market timing or excessive trading activity by reviewing trading activities. Portfolios also may report suspected market-timing or excessive trading activity to us. If, in our judgment, we determine that the transfers are part of a market timing strategy or are otherwise harmful to the underlying Portfolio, we will impose the trading limitations as described below under “Trading Limitations.” Because there is no universally accepted definition of what constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will use our reasonable judgment based on all of the circumstances.
While we seek to deter market timing and excessive trading in Variable Sub-Accounts, because our procedures involve the exercise of reasonable judgment, we may not identify or prevent some market timing or excessive trading. Moreover, imposition of trading limitations is triggered by the detection of market timing or excessive trading activity, and the trading limitations are not applied prior to detection of such trading activity. Therefore, our policies and procedures do not prevent such trading activity before it is detected. As a result, some investors may be able to engage in market timing and excessive trading, while others are prohibited, and the Portfolio may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.
TRADING LIMITATIONS
We reserve the right to limit transfers among the investment alternatives in any Contract year, require that all future transfer requests be submitted through U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail thereby refusing to accept transfer requests via telephone, facsimile, Internet, or overnight delivery, or to refuse any transfer request, if:
• | we believe, in our sole discretion, that certain trading practices, such as excessive trading, by, or on behalf of, one or more Contract Owners, or a specific transfer request or group of transfer requests, may have a detrimental effect on the Accumulation Unit Values of any Variable Sub-Account or on the share prices of the corresponding Portfolio or otherwise would be to the disadvantage of other Contract Owners; or |
• | we are informed by one or more of the Portfolios that they intend to restrict the purchase, exchange, or redemption of Portfolio shares because of excessive trading or because they believe that a specific transfer or group of transfers would have a detrimental effect on the prices of Portfolio shares. |
In making the determination that trading activity constitutes market timing or excessive trading, we will consider, among other things:
• | the total dollar amount being transferred, both in the aggregate and in the transfer request; |
56
• | the number of transfers you make over a period of time and/or the period of time between transfers (note: one set of transfers to and from a Variable Sub-Account in a short period of time can constitute market timing); |
• | whether your transfers follow a pattern that appears designed to take advantage of short term market fluctuations, particularly within certain Variable Sub-Account underlying Portfolios that we have identified as being susceptible to market timing activities (e.g., International, High Yield, and Small Cap Variable Sub-Accounts); |
• | whether the manager of the underlying Portfolio has indicated that the transfers interfere with Portfolio management or otherwise adversely impact the Portfolio; and |
• | the investment objectives and/or size of the Variable Sub-Account underlying Portfolio. |
We seek to apply these trading limitations uniformly. However, because these determinations involve the exercise of discretion, it is possible that we may not detect some market timing or excessive trading activity. As a result, it is possible that some investors may be able to engage in market timing or excessive trading activity, while others are prohibited, and the Portfolio may experience the adverse effects of market timing and excessive trading described above.
If we determine that a Contract Owner has engaged in market timing or excessive trading activity, we will require that all future transfer requests be submitted through U.S. Postal Service First Class Mail thereby refusing to accept transfer requests via telephone, facsimile, Internet, or overnight delivery. If we determine that a Contract Owner continues to engage in a pattern of market timing or excessive trading activity we will restrict that Contract Owner from making future additions or transfers into the impacted Variable Sub-Account(s) or will restrict that Contract Owner from making future additions or transfers into the class of Variable Sub-Account(s) if the Variable Sub-Accounts(s) involved are vulnerable to arbitrage market timing trading activity (e.g., International, High Yield, and Small Cap Variable Sub-Accounts).
In our sole discretion, we may revise our Trading Limitations at any time as necessary to better deter or minimize market timing and excessive trading or to comply with regulatory requirements.
SHORT TERM TRADING FEES
The underlying Portfolios are authorized by SEC regulation to adopt and impose redemption fees if a Portfolio’s Board of Directors determines that such fees are necessary to minimize or eliminate short-term transfer activity that can reduce or dilute the value of outstanding shares issued by the Portfolio. The Portfolio will set the parameters relating to the redemption fee and such parameters may vary by Portfolio. If a Portfolio elects to adopt and charge redemption fees, these fees will be passed on to the Contract Owner(s) responsible for the short-term transfer activity generating the fee.
We will administer and collect redemption fees in connection with transfers between the Variable Sub-Accounts and forward these fees to the Portfolio. Please consult the Portfolio’s prospectus for more complete information regarding the fees and charges associated with each Portfolio.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically transfer a fixed dollar amount on a regular basis from any Variable Sub-Account or any Fixed Account Option to any of the other Variable Sub-Accounts. You may not use the Dollar Cost Averaging Program to transfer amounts to the Fixed Account Options. This program is available only during the Accumulation Phase.
We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor will such transfers count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract Year without paying a transfer fee.
The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However, participation in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in a declining market. Call or write us for instructions on how to enroll.
AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM
Once you have allocated your money among the Variable Sub-Accounts, the performance of each Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage you allocated to each Sub-Account. If you select our Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations. Money you allocate to the Fixed Account will not be included in the rebalancing.
We will rebalance your account quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. We will measure these periods according to your instructions. We will transfer amounts among the Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage allocations you specify. You can change your allocations at any time by contacting us in writing or by telephone. The new allocation will be effective with the first rebalancing that occurs after we receive your written or telephone request. We are not responsible for rebalancing that occurs prior to receipt of proper notice of your request.
57
Example:
Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among 2 Variable Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the Morgan Stanley VIS Income Plus – Class Y Sub-Account and 60% to be in the Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Growth, Class II Sub-Account. Over the next 2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Morgan Stanley VIS Income Plus – Class Y Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of its increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings in a Contract or Contracts rebalanced quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter we would sell some of your units in the Morgan Stanley VIS Income Plus – Class Y Sub-Account for the appropriate Contract(s) and use the money to buy more units in the Invesco V.I. Mid Cap Growth, Class II Sub-Account so that the percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60% respectively.
The transfers made under the program do not count towards the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject to a transfer fee.
Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated to the Variable Sub-Accounts that performed better during the previous time period.
Expenses
As a Contract Owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and expenses described below.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
During the Accumulation Phase, on each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a $30 contract maintenance charge from your assets invested in the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account. If there are insufficient assets in that Variable Sub-Account, we will deduct the balance of the charge proportionally from the other Variable Sub-Accounts. We also will deduct this charge if you withdraw your entire Contract Value, unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver. During the Payout Phase, we will deduct the charge proportionately from each income payment.
The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and the Variable Account. Maintenance costs include expenses we incur in billing and collecting purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals, and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and income payments; and issuing reports to Contract Owners and regulatory agencies. We cannot increase the charge. We will waive this charge:
• | for the remaining term of the Contract once your total purchase payments to the Contract equal $50,000 or more; or |
• | for a Contract Anniversary, if on that date, your entire Contract Value is allocated to the Fixed Account Options, or after the Payout Start Date, if all income payments are fixed income payments. |
We reserve the right to waive this charge for all Contracts.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
For Contracts issued before January 1, 2005 and for Contracts issued on or after October 17, 2005, we deduct an administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.19% of the daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. For Contracts issued on or after January 1, 2005 and prior to October 17, 2005, we deduct an administrative expense charge at an annual rate of 0.30% of the daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. Effective October 17, 2005 and thereafter, the administrative expense charge we deduct for such Contracts is at an annual rate of 0.19% of the daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We intend this charge to cover actual administrative expenses that exceed the revenues from the contract maintenance charge. There is no necessary relationship between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributed to that Contract. We assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase. We may increase this charge for Contracts issued in the future, but in no event will it exceed 0.35%. We guarantee that after your Contract is issued we will not increase this charge for your Contract.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily from the net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We assess mortality and expense risk charges during the Accumulation and Payout Phases of the Contract, except as noted below. The annual mortality and expense risk charge for the Contracts without any optional benefit are as follows:
Allstate Variable Annuity | 1.10 | % |
Allstate Variable Annuity – L Share | 1.50 | % |
The mortality and expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that the current charges will
58
not be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the optional benefits to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by providing these options.
You will pay additional mortality and expense risk charges if you add any optional benefits to your Contract. The additional mortality and expense risk charge you pay will depend upon which of the options you select:
• | MAV Death Benefit Option: The current mortality and expense risk charge for this option is 0.20%. This charge may be increased, but will never exceed 0.30%. We guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge for this option after you have added it to your Contract. We deduct the charge for this option only during the Accumulation Phase. |
• | Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option: The current mortality and expense risk charge for this option is 0.30%. This charge will never exceed 0.30%. We guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge for this option after you have added it to your Contract. We deduct the charge for this option only during the Accumulation Phase. |
• | Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option: The current mortality and expense risk charge for this option is: |
• | 0.25% (maximum of 0.35%) if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 70 or younger on the Rider Application Date; |
• | 0.40% (maximum of 0.50%) if the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant is age 71 or older and both are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. |
The charges may be increased but they will never exceed the maximum charges shown above. We guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge for this option after you have added it to your Contract. However, if your spouse elects to continue the Contract in the event of your death and if he or she elects to continue the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the charge will be based on the ages of the oldest new Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant at the time the Contract is continued. Refer to the Death Benefit Payments provision in this prospectus for more information. We deduct the charge for this option only during the Accumulation Phase.
• | Income Protection Benefit Option: The current mortality and expense risk charge for this option is 0.75%. We guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge for this option after you have added it to your Contract. The charge will be deducted only during the Payout Phase. |
TRUERETURNSM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT OPTION FEE
We charge a separate annual Rider Fee for the TrueReturn Option. The current annual Rider Fee is 0.50% of the Benefit Base. We deduct the Rider Fee on each Contract Anniversary during the Rider Period or until you terminate the Option, if earlier. We reserve the right to increase the Rider Fee to up to 1.25%. We currently charge the same Rider Fee regardless of the Rider Period and Guarantee Option you select, however we reserve the right to charge different fees for different Rider Periods and Guarantee Options in the future. However, once we issue your Option, we cannot change the Rider Fee that applies to your Contract. If you elect to exercise the Rider Trade-In Option, the new Rider Fee will be based on the Rider Fee percentage applicable to a new TrueReturn Option at the time of trade-in.
The Rider Fee is deducted only from the Variable Sub-Account(s) on a pro rata basis in the proportion that your value in each Variable Sub-Account bears to your total value in all Variable Sub-Accounts. Rider Fees will decrease the number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Sub-Account. If you terminate this Option prior to the Rider Maturity Date on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will deduct an entire Rider Fee from your Contract Value on the date the Option is terminated. However, if the Option is terminated due to death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant, we will not charge a Rider Fee unless the date we receive a Complete Request for Settlement of the Death Proceeds is also a Contract Anniversary. If the Option is terminated on the Payout Start Date, we will not charge a Rider Fee unless the Payout Start Date is also a Contract Anniversary. Additionally, if you elect to exercise the Rider Trade-In Option and cancel the Option on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will not deduct a Rider Fee on the date the Option is terminated. Refer to the “TrueReturnSM Accumulation Benefit Option” section of this prospectus for more information.
SPOUSAL PROTECTION BENEFIT (CO-ANNUITANT) OPTION FEE AND SPOUSAL PROTECTION BENEFIT(CO-ANNUITANT) OPTION FOR CUSTODIAL INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS FEE
We charge a separate annual Rider Fee for both the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option and Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts. The current annual Rider Fee is 0.10% of the Contract Value for either Option. This applies to all new Options added on or after January 1, 2005. For Options added prior to January 1, 2005, there is no charge associated with the Options. We deduct the Rider Fee on each Contract Anniversary up to and including the date you terminate the Option. We reserve the right to increase the annual Rider Fee to up to 0.15% of the Contract Value. We reserve the right to charge different Rider Fees for new Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Options and/or new Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Options for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts we offer in the future. Once we issue your Option, we cannot change the Rider Fee that applies to your Contract.
The Rider Fee is deducted only from the Variable Sub-Account(s) on a pro-rata basis in the proportion that your value in each Variable Sub-Account bears to your total value in all Variable Sub-Accounts. Rider Fees will decrease the number of Accumulation Units in
59
each Variable Sub-Account. If, at the time the Rider Fee is deducted, the Rider Fee exceeds the total value in all Variable Sub-Accounts, the excess of the Rider Fee over the total value in all Variable Sub-Accounts will be waived.
The first Rider Fee will be deducted on the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date. A Rider Fee will be deducted on each subsequent Contract Anniversary up to and including the date the Option is terminated. We will not charge a Rider Fee on the date the Option is terminated, on a date other than the Contract Anniversary, if the Option is terminated on the Payout Start Date or due to death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant.
For the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, the Rider Fee is equal to the number of months from the Rider Date to the first Contract Anniversary, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.10%, with the result multiplied by the Contract Value as of the first Contract Anniversary. For subsequent Contract Anniversaries, the Rider Fee is equal to 0.10% multiplied by the Contract Value as of that Contract Anniversary. If you terminate this Option on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a Rider Fee. The Rider Fee will be pro-rated to cover the period from the last Contract Anniversary to the date of termination, or if you terminate this Option during the first Benefit Year, from the Rider Date to the date of termination. The pro-rated Rider Fee will be equal to the number of full months from the Contract Anniversary to the date of termination, or if you terminate this Option during the first Contract Year after adding the Option, the number of full months from the Rider Date to the date of termination, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.10%, with the result multiplied by the Contract Value immediately prior to the termination.
RETIREMENT INCOME GUARANTEE OPTION FEE
We discontinued offering the Retirement Income Guarantee Options as of January 1, 2004 (up to May 1, 2004 in certain states). Fees described below apply to Contract Owners who selected an Option prior to January 1, 2004 (up to May 1, 2004 in certain states). We impose a separate annual Rider Fee for RIG 1 and RIG 2. The current annual Rider Fee for RIG 1 is 0.40% of the Income Base on each Contract Anniversary. The current annual Rider Fee for RIG 2 is 0.55% of the Income Base on each Contract Anniversary. See “Retirement Income Guarantee Options” for details.
We deduct the Rider Fees only from the Variable Sub-Account(s) on a pro-rata basis. For the initial Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date, we will deduct a fee prorated to cover the period from the Rider Date to the Contract Anniversary. In the case of a full withdrawal of the Contract Value on any date other than the Contract Anniversary, we will deduct from the amount paid upon withdrawal the Rider Fee multiplied by the appropriate Income Base immediately prior to the withdrawal prorated to cover the period the Option was in effect during the current Contract Year. We will not deduct the Rider Fee during the Payout Phase.
WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT OPTION FEE
Effective May 1, 2006, we ceased offering the SureIncome Option except in a limited number of states. We charge separate annual Rider Fees for each of the SureIncome Option (the “SureIncome Option Fee”), the SureIncome Plus Option (the “SureIncome Plus Option Fee”), and the SureIncome For Life Option (the “SureIncome For Life Option Fee”). Collectively, we refer to the SureIncome Option Fee, the SureIncome Plus Option Fee and the SureIncome For Life Option Fee as the “Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees”. “Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee” is used to refer to any one of the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees.
The current annual SureIncome Option Fee is 0.50% of the Benefit Base. The current annual SureIncome Plus Option Fee and the current annual SureIncome For Life Option Fee are each 0.65% of the Benefit Base. We reserve the right to increase any Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee to up to 1.25% of the Benefit Base. We reserve the right to charge a different Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee for different Withdrawal Benefit Factors or Withdrawal Benefit Options we may offer in the future. Once we issue your Withdrawal Benefit Option, we cannot change the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee that applies to your Contract. If applicable, if you elect to exercise the Rider Trade-In Option, the new Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be based on the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee percentage applicable to a new Withdrawal Benefit Option available at the time of trade-in.
We deduct the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees on each Contract Anniversary up to and including the date you terminate the Option. The Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees are deducted only from the Variable Sub-Account(s) on a pro-rata basis in the proportion that your Contract Value in each Variable Sub-Account bears to your total Contract Value in all Variable Sub-Accounts. The Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will decrease the number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Sub-Account. If, at the time the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee is deducted, the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee exceeds the total Contract Value in all Variable Sub-Accounts, the excess of the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee over the total Contract Value in all Variable Sub-Accounts will be waived.
The first Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be deducted on the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date. A Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be deducted on each subsequent Contract Anniversary up to and including the date the Withdrawal Benefit Option is terminated.
For the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, the SureIncome Option Fee is equal to the number of full months from the Rider Date to the first Contract Anniversary, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.50%, with the result multiplied by the Benefit Base on the first Contract Anniversary. For subsequent Contract Anniversaries, the SureIncome Option Fee is equal to 0.50% multiplied by the Benefit Base as of that Contract Anniversary.
For the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, the SureIncome Plus Option Fee and the SureIncome For Life Option Fee are each equal to the number of full months from the Rider Date to the first Contract Anniversary, divided by twelve, multiplied by
60
0.65%, with the result multiplied by the Benefit Base on the first Contract Anniversary increased by purchase payments and decreased by withdrawals, but prior to the Benefit Base being recalculated based on the Contract Value. For subsequent Contract Anniversaries, the SureIncome Plus Option Fee and the SureIncome For Life Option Rider Fee are each equal to 0.65% multiplied by the Benefit Base on that Contract Anniversary increased by purchase payments and decreased by withdrawals, but prior to the Benefit Base being recalculated based on the Contract Value for any of the ten Contract Anniversaries after the Rider Date. As previously stated, we will deduct Withdrawal Benefit Option Fees on each Contract Anniversary up to and including the date you terminate the Option.
If you terminate the SureIncome Option or the SureIncome Plus Option on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will deduct the Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee unless the termination is on the Payout Start Date or is due to the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant. If you terminate the SureIncome For Life Option on a date other than a Contract Anniversary, we will deduct the SureIncome For Life Option Fee unless the termination is on the Payout Start Date or is due to the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or the death of the SureIncome Covered Life. The Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be pro-rated to cover the period from the last Contract Anniversary to the date of termination or, if you terminate the Withdrawal Benefit Option during the first Benefit Year, from the Rider Date to the date of termination. For the SureIncome Option, the pro-rated SureIncome Option Fee will be equal to the number of full months from the Contract Anniversary to the date of termination or, if you terminate the SureIncome Option during the first Benefit Year, the number of full months from the Rider Date to the date of termination, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.50%, with the result multiplied by the Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal or termination. For the SureIncome Plus Option and the SureIncome For Life Option, the pro-rated Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be equal to the number of full months from the Contract Anniversary to the date of termination or, if you terminate the Withdrawal Benefit Option during the first Benefit Year, the number of full months from the Rider Date to the date of termination, divided by twelve, multiplied by 0.65%, with the result multiplied by the Benefit Base immediately prior to the withdrawal or termination. The Withdrawal Benefit Option Fee will be waived during the Withdrawal Benefit Payout Phase.
TRANSFER FEE
We impose a fee upon transfers in excess of 12 during any Contract Year. The current fee is equal to 1.00% of the dollar amount transferred. This fee may be increased, but in no event will it exceed 2.00% of the dollar amount transferred. We will not charge a transfer fee on transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
We may assess a withdrawal charge from the purchase payment(s) you withdraw. The amount of the charge will depend on the number of years that have elapsed since we received the purchase payment being withdrawn. A schedule showing the withdrawal charges applicable to each Contract appears in the Expense Table section. If you make a withdrawal before the Payout Start Date, we will apply the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the date of the withdrawal, or the withdrawal charge percentage in effect on the following day, whichever is lower.
Withdrawals also may be subject to tax penalties or income tax. You should consult with your tax counsel or other tax advisor regarding any withdrawals.
Withdrawals from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Option may be subject to a market value adjustment. Refer to the Investment Alternatives: The Fixed Account Options - Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account Options section for more information on market value adjustments.
FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT
You can withdraw up to the Free Withdrawal Amount each Contract Year without paying the withdrawal charge. The Free Withdrawal Amount for a Contract Year is equal to 15% of all purchase payments that are subject to a withdrawal charge as of the beginning of that Contract Year, plus 15% of the purchase payments added to the Contract during the Contract Year. The withdrawal charge applicable to Contracts owned by Charitable Remainder Trusts is described below.
Purchase payments no longer subject to a withdrawal charge will not be used to determine the Free Withdrawal Amount for a Contract Year, nor will they be assessed a withdrawal charge, if withdrawn. The Free Withdrawal Amount is not available in the Payout Phase.
You may withdraw up to the Free Withdrawal Amount in each Contract Year it is available without paying a withdrawal charge; however, the amount withdrawn may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment or applicable taxes. If you do not withdraw the entire Free Withdrawal Amount in a Contract Year, any remaining portion may not be carried forward to increase the Free Withdrawal Amount in a later Contract Year.
For purposes of assessing the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the oldest purchase payments first as follows:
1) | Purchase payments that no longer are subject to withdrawal charges; |
2) | Free Withdrawal Amount (if available); |
3) | Remaining purchase payments subject to withdrawal charges, beginning with the oldest purchase payment; |
4) | Any earnings not previously withdrawn. |
61
However, for federal income tax purposes, earnings are considered to come out first, which means that you will pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal.
If the Contract Owner is a Charitable Remainder Trust, the Free Withdrawal Amount in a Contract Year is equal to the greater of:
• | The Free Withdrawal Amount described above; or |
• | Earnings as of the beginning of the Contract Year that have not been previously withdrawn. |
For purposes of assessing the withdrawal charge for a Charitable Remainder Trust-Owned Contract, we will treat withdrawals as coming from the earnings first and then the oldest purchase payments as follows:
1) | Earnings not previously withdrawn; |
2) | Purchase payments that are no longer subject to withdrawal charges; |
3) | Free Withdrawal Amount in excess of earnings; |
4) | Purchase payments subject to withdrawal charges, beginning with the oldest purchase payment. |
All Contracts
We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:
• | the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant (unless the Settlement Value is used); |
• | withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract; or |
• | withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers described below. |
We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above, to make up any difference.
Withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers regarding any withdrawals.
Confinement Waiver. We will waive the withdrawal charge on any applicable withdrawal taken under your Contract if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. | you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a living person, are first confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at least 30 days after the Issue Date, |
2. | we receive your request for withdrawal and Due Proof of confinement no later than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant’s confinement at the long term care facility or hospital, and |
3. | a physician must have prescribed the confinement and the confinement must be medically necessary (as defined in the Contract). |
“Due Proof” includes, but is not limited to, a letter signed by a physician stating the dates the Owner or Annuitant was confined, the name and location of the Long Term Care Facility or Hospital, a statement that the confinement was medically necessary, and, if released, the date the Owner or Annuitant was released from the Long Term Care Facility or Hospital.
Terminal Illness Waiver. We will waive the withdrawal charge on any applicable withdrawal under your Contract if:
1. | you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a living person, are diagnosed by a physician as having a terminal illness (as defined in the Contract) at least 30 days after the Issue Date, and |
2. | you provide Due Proof of diagnosis to us before or at the time you request the withdrawal. |
“Due Proof” includes, but is not limited to, a letter signed by a physician stating that the Owner or Annuitant has a Terminal Illness and the date the Terminal Illness was first diagnosed.
Unemployment Waiver. We will waive the withdrawal charge on one partial or a full withdrawal taken under your Contract, if you meet the following requirements:
1. | you or the Annuitant, if the Contract Owner is not a living person, become unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date, |
2. | you or the Annuitant receive Unemployment Compensation for at least 30 consecutive days as a result of that unemployment, and |
3. | you or the Annuitant claim this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant’s initial receipt of Unemployment Compensation. |
Before we will waive any withdrawal charges, you must give us Due Proof prior to, or at the time of, the withdrawal request, that you or the Annuitant have been unemployed and have been granted Unemployment Compensation for at least 30 consecutive days.
62
“Unemployment Compensation” means unemployment compensation received from a unit of state or federal government in the U.S. “Due Proof” includes, but is not limited to, a legible photocopy of an unemployment compensation payment that meets the above described criteria with regard to dates and a signed letter from you stating that you or the Annuitant meet the above described criteria.
You may exercise this benefit once over the term of the Contract. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to Market Value Adjustments.
Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and conditions of these waivers.
The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you do not pay a withdrawal charge because of these waivers, a Market Value Adjustment may apply and you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the effect of a withdrawal on your taxes.
PREMIUM TAXES
Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge premium taxes or similar taxes. We are responsible for paying these taxes and will deduct them from your Contract Value. Some of these taxes are due when the Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender. Our current practice is not to charge anyone for these taxes until income payments begin or when a total withdrawal occurs including payment upon death. We may sometime in the future discontinue this practice and deduct premium taxes from the purchase payments. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 3.5%, depending on the state.
At the Payout Start Date, we deduct the charge for premium taxes from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract Value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.
DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES
We may assess a charge against the Sub-accounts and the Fixed Rate Options equal to any taxes which may be imposed upon the Separate Account. We will pay company income taxes on the taxable corporate earnings created by this Separate Account product. While we may consider company income taxes when pricing our products, we do not currently include such income taxes in the Tax Charge you pay under the contract. We will periodically review the issue of charging for these taxes and may impose a charge in the future. In calculating our corporate income tax liability, we derive certain corporate income tax benefits associated with the investment of company assets, including Separate Account assets, which are treated as company assets under applicable income tax law. These benefits reduce our overall corporate income tax liability. Under current law, such benefits may include foreign tax credits and corporate dividends received deductions. We do not pass these tax benefits through to holders of the Separate Account annuity contracts because (i) the contract owners are not the owners of the assets generating these benefits under applicable income tax law and (ii) we do not currently include company income taxes in the Tax Charge you pay under the contract. We reserve the right to change these tax practices.
Our status under the Code is briefly described in the “Taxes” section of this prospectus.
OTHER EXPENSES
Each Portfolio deducts advisory fees and other expenses from its assets. You indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held by the Variable Sub-Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the prospectuses for the Portfolios. For a summary of Portfolio annual expenses, see the Expense Table - Portfolio Annual Expenses section.
Access to Your Money
WITHDRAWALS
You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. Withdrawals also are available under limited circumstances on or after the Payout Start Date. See the Income Payments - Income Plans section.
The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value (or portion thereof) next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal at our home office, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less any applicable withdrawal charges, income tax withholding, penalty tax, contract maintenance charge, Rider Fee, and any premium taxes. We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account within 7 days of receipt of the request, subject to postponement in certain circumstances. You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Option(s) available under your Contract. To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable charges, fees and taxes.
You must name the investment alternative from which you are taking the withdrawal. If none is named, then the withdrawal request is incomplete and cannot be honored.
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time.
Withdrawals from the Standard Fixed Account Option may be subject to a restriction. See the Investment Alternatives: The Fixed Account Options - Standard Fixed Account Option section.
63
Withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date are generally considered to come from the earnings in the Contract first. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally all withdrawals are treated as distributions of earnings. Withdrawals of earnings are taxed as ordinary income and, if taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal penalty tax. If any withdrawal reduces your Contract Value to less than $1,000, we will treat the request as a withdrawal of the entire Contract Value, unless a Withdrawal Benefit Option is currently attached to your Contract. See “Withdrawal Benefit Options” above for more information. If you request a total withdrawal, we may require that you return your Contract to us. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value, subject to certain exceptions if a Withdrawal Benefit Option is currently attached to your Contract. See “Withdrawal Benefit Options” for more details. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges and taxes.
WRITTEN REQUESTS AND FORMS IN GOOD ORDER.
Written requests must include sufficient information and/or documentation, and be sufficiently clear, to enable us to complete your request without the need to exercise discretion on our part to carry it out. You may contact our Customer Service Center to learn what information we require for your particular request to be in “Good Order.” Additionally, we may require that you submit your request on our form. We reserve the right to determine whether any particular request is in Good Order, and to change or waive any Good Order requirements at any time.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under the Contract if:
1. | The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted, |
2. | An emergency exists as defined by the SEC, or |
3. | The SEC permits delay for your protection. |
We may delay payments or transfers from the Fixed Account Option(s) available under your Contract for up to 6 months or shorter period if required by law. If we delay payment or transfer for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. Please consult your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor or call us at 1-800-457-7617 for more information.
Any systematic withdrawal programs based upon IRS minimum distribution requirements may be modified to ensure guarantees under any Withdrawal Benefit Option currently attached to your Contract are not impacted by the withdrawals. Withdrawals made outside of any systematic withdrawal program based upon IRS minimum distribution requirements may impact the guarantees provided under any Withdrawal Benefit Option currently attached to your Contract.
Depending on fluctuations in the value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the value of the Fixed Account Options, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even exhaust the Contract Value. Income taxes may apply to systematic withdrawals. Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.
We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. At our discretion, we may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be affected.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce your Contract Value to less than $1,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract Value, unless a Withdrawal Benefit Option is currently attached to your Contract. See “Withdrawal Benefit Options” above for more information. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value. We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating your Contract. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less withdrawal and other charges and applicable taxes.
Income Payments
PAYOUT START DATE
The Payout Start Date is the day that we apply your Contract Value adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment and less applicable taxes to an Income Plan. The first income payment must occur at least 30 days after the Issue Date. The Payout Start Date may be no later than:
• | the Annuitant’s 99th birthday, or |
64
• | the 10th Contract Anniversary, if later. |
You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.
INCOME PLANS
An “Income Plan” is a series of payments made on a scheduled basis to you or to another person designated by you. You may select more than one Income Plan. If you choose more than one Income Plan, you must specify what proportions of your Contract Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, should be allocated to each such Income Plan. For tax reporting purposes, your cost basis and any gain on the Contract will be allocated proportionally to each Income Plan you select based on the proportion of your Contract Value applied to each such Income Plan. We reserve the right to limit the number of Income Plans that you may select. If you choose to add the Income Protection Benefit Option, certain restrictions may apply as described under “Income Protection Benefit Option,” below. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with a Guaranteed Payment Period of 10 years. If any Contract Owner dies during the Payout Phase, the new Contract Owner will be the surviving Contract Owner. If there is no surviving Contract Owner, the new Contract Owner will be the Beneficiary(ies) as described in the “Beneficiary” section of this prospectus. Any remaining income payments will be paid to the new Contract Owner as scheduled. Income payments to Beneficiaries may be subject to restrictions established by the Contract Owner. After the Payout Start Date, you may not make withdrawals (except as described below) or change your choice of Income Plan.
Currently seven Income Plans are available. Depending on the Income Plan(s) you choose, you may receive:
• | fixed income payments; |
• | variable income payments; or |
• | a combination of the two. |
A portion of each payment will be considered taxable and the remaining portion will be a non-taxable return of your investment in the Contract, which is also called the “basis.” Once the basis in the Contract is depleted, all remaining payments will be fully taxable. If the Contract is tax-qualified, generally, all payments will be fully taxable. Taxable payments taken prior to age 59 1/2, may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty.
The seven Income Plans are:
Income Plan 1 – Life Income with Guaranteed Number of Payments. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the Annuitant dies in the Payout Phase, we will continue to pay income payments until the guaranteed number of payments has been paid. The number of months guaranteed (“Guaranteed Payment Period”) may range from 0 to 360 months. If the Annuitant is age 90 or older as of the Payout Start Date, the Guaranteed Payment Period may range from 60 to 360 months.
Income Plan 2 – Joint and Survivor Life Income with Guaranteed Number of Payments. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as either the Annuitant or the joint Annuitant, named at the time the Income Plan was selected, lives. If both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant die in the Payout Phase, we will continue to pay the income payments until the guaranteed number of payments has been paid. The Guaranteed Payment Period may range from 0 to 360 months. If either the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is age 90 or older as of the Payout Start Date, the Guaranteed Payment Period may range from 60 to 360 months. You may elect a reduced survivor plan of 50%, 66% or 75% of the payment amount. If you do not elect a reduced survivor amount, the payments will remain at 100%. If you elect a reduced survivor payment plan, the amount of each income payment initially will be higher but a reduction will take place at the later of 1) the death of an Annuitant; or 2) at the end of the guaranteed payment period.
Income Plan 3 – Guaranteed Number of Payments. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant’s life. The shortest number of months guaranteed is 60 (120 if the Payout Start Date occurs prior to the third Contract Anniversary). The longest number of months guaranteed is 360 or the number of months between the Payout Start Date and the date that the Annuitant reaches age 100, if greater. In no event may the number of months guaranteed exceed 600.
We will deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the assets of the Variable Sub-Account supporting this Income Plan even though we may not bear any mortality risk. You may make withdrawals under this option. Please see the section titled “Payout Withdrawals” below for more details.
Income Plan 4 – Life Income with Cash Refund. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments until the death of the Annuitant. If the death of the Annuitant occurs before the total amount applied to an Income Plan is paid out, we will pay a lump sum payment of the remaining amount. Payments under this plan are available only as fixed income payments.
Income Plan 5 – Joint Life Income with Cash Refund. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments until the deaths of both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant. If the deaths of both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant occur before the total amount applied to
65
an Income Plan is paid out, we will pay a lump sum payment of the remaining amount. Currently, a reduced survivor plan is not available. Payments under this plan are available only as fixed income payments.
Income Plan 6 – Life Income with Installment Refund. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments until the later of: (1) the death of the Annuitant; or (2) the total amount paid out under the annuity is equal to the total amount applied to the Income Plan. If the death of the Annuitant occurs before the total amount applied to an Income Plan is paid out, we will continue to make payments in the same manner until any remaining payments are paid out. Payments under this plan are available only as fixed income payments.
Income Plan 7 – Joint Life Income with Installment Refund. Under this plan, we make periodic income payments until the later of: (1) the deaths of both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant; or (2) the total amount paid out under the annuity is equal to the total amount applied to the Income Plan. If the deaths of both the Annuitant and joint Annuitant occur before the total amount applied to an Income Plan is paid out, we will continue to make payments in the same manner until any remaining payments are paid out. Currently, a reduced survivor plan is not available. Payments under this plan are available only as fixed income payments.
If you choose an Income Plan with payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant, we may require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting income payments, and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant is alive before we make each payment. Please note that under Income Plans 1 and 2, if you do not select a Guaranteed Payment Period, it is possible that the payee could receive only one income payment if the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant both die before the second income payment, or only two income payments if they die before the third income payment, and so on.
The length of any Guaranteed Payment Period under your selected Income Plan generally will affect the dollar amounts of each income payment. As a general rule, longer Guarantee Payment Periods result in lower income payments, all other things being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend on the life of the Annuitant but with no guaranteed payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments made under the same Income Plan with a specified Guaranteed Payment Period.
Payout Withdrawal
You may terminate all or a portion of the income payments being made under Income Plan 3 at any time and withdraw their present value (“withdrawal value”), subject to a Payout Withdrawal Charge, by writing to us (“Payout Withdrawal”). For variable income payments, the withdrawal value is equal to the present value of the variable income payments being terminated, calculated using a discount rate equal to the assumed investment rate that was used in determining the initial variable payment. For fixed income payments, the withdrawal value is equal to the present value of the fixed income payments being terminated, calculated using a discount rate equal to the applicable current interest rate (this may be the initial interest rate in some states.) The applicable current interest rate is the rate we are using on the date we receive your Payout Withdrawal request to determine income payments for a new annuitization with a payment period equal to the remaining payment period of the income payments being terminated.
A Payout Withdrawal must be at least $50. If any Payout Withdrawal reduces the value of the remaining income payments to an amount not sufficient to provide an initial payment of at least $20, we reserve the right to terminate the Contract and pay you the present value of the remaining income payments in a lump sum. If you withdraw the entire value of the remaining income payments, the Contract will terminate.
You must specify the investment alternative(s) from which you wish to make a Payout Withdrawal. If you withdraw a portion of the value of your remaining income payments, the payment period will remain unchanged and your remaining payment amounts will be reduced proportionately.
Payout Withdrawal Charge
To determine the Payout Withdrawal Charge, we assume that purchase payments are withdrawn first, beginning with the oldest payment. When an amount equal to all purchase payments has been withdrawn, additional withdrawals will not be assessed a Payout Withdrawal Charge.
Payout Withdrawals will be subject to a Payout Withdrawal Charge for each Contract as follows:
Number of Complete Years Since We Received the Purchase Payment Being Withdrawn/Applicable Charge: | |||||||||
Contract: | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8+ |
Allstate Variable Annuity | 7% | 7% | 6% | 5% | 4% | 3% | 2% | 0% | 0% |
Allstate Variable Annuity – L Share | 7% | 6% | 5% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
Additional Information. We may make other Income Plans available. You may obtain information about them by writing or calling us. On the Payout Start Date, you must specify the portion of the Contract Value to be applied to variable income payments and the portion to be applied to fixed income payments. For the portion of your Contract Value to be applied to variable income payments, you must also specify the Variable Sub-Accounts on which to base the variable income payments as well as the allocation among those
66
Variable Sub-Accounts. If you do not choose how the Contract Value is to be applied, then the portion of the Contract Value in the Variable Account on the Payout Start Date will be applied to variable income payments, according to the Variable Sub-Account allocations as of the Payout Start Date, and the remainder of the Contract Value will be applied to fixed income payments.
We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less applicable taxes, to your Income Plan(s) on the Payout Start Date. We can make income payments in monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual installments, as you select. If the Contract Value is less than $2,000 when it is applied to the Income Plan(s) you choose, or not enough to provide an initial payment of at least $20 when it is applied to the Income Plan(s) you choose, and state law permits, we may:
• | terminate the Contract and pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments you have chosen, or |
• | reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least $20. |
VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment results of the Variable Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and sex of the Annuitant, and the Income Plan you choose. We guarantee that the payments will not be affected by: (a) company mortality experience; or (b) the amount of our administration expenses.
We cannot predict the total amount of your variable income payments, which may be more or less than your total purchase payments because (a) variable income payments vary with the investment results of the underlying Portfolios; and (b) under some of the Income Plans, we make income payments only so long as an Annuitant is alive or any applicable Guaranteed Payment Period has not yet expired.
In calculating the amount of the periodic payments in the annuity tables in the Contracts, we used an assumed investment rate (“AIR”, also known as benchmark rate) of 3%. Currently, you may choose a 6%, 5%, or 3% AIR per year. If you select the Income Protection Benefit Option, however, the 3% AIR must apply. The 6% and 5% AIR may not be available in all states (check with your representative for availability). Currently, if you do not choose one, the 5% AIR will automatically apply (except in states in which the 5% AIR is not available; in those states, the 3% AIR will automatically apply). You may not change the AIR after you have selected an Income Plan.
We reserve the right to offer other assumed investment rates. If the actual net investment return of the Variable Sub-Accounts you choose is less than the AIR, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase, however, if the actual net investment return exceeds the AIR. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net investment return equals the AIR. With a higher AIR, your initial income payment will be larger than with a lower AIR. While income payments continue to be made, however, this disparity will become smaller and, if the payments have continued long enough, each payment will be smaller than if you had initially chosen a lower AIR.
Please refer to the Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we determine variable income payments.
You may also elect a variable income payment stream consisting of level monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments. If you elect to receive level monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments, the payments must be recalculated annually. You may only elect to receive level payments at or before the Payout Start Date. If you have elected level payments for an Income Plan(s), you may not make any variable to fixed payment transfers within such Income Plan(s). We will determine the amount of each annual payment as described above, place this amount in our general account, and then distribute it in level monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments. The sum of the level payments will exceed the annual calculated amount because of an interest rate factor we use, which may vary from year to year, but will not be less than 2% per year. We do not allow withdrawals of the annual amount unless you make a full or partial withdrawal request of the value of the remaining payments under Income Plan 3. Withdrawals will be assessed a Payout Withdrawal Charge, if applicable. If the Annuitant dies while you are receiving level payments, you will not be entitled to receive any remaining level payments for that year (unless the Annuitant dies before the end of the Guaranteed Payment Period). For example, if you have selected Income Plan 1 with no Guaranteed Payment Period and the Annuitant dies during the year, the Beneficiary will not be entitled to receive the remaining level payments for that year.
INCOME PROTECTION BENEFIT OPTION
We offer an Income Protection Benefit Option, which may be added to your Contract on the Payout Start Date for an additional mortality and expense risk charge if you have selected variable income payments subject to the following conditions:
• | The Annuitant and joint Annuitant, if applicable, must be age 75 or younger on the Payout Start Date. |
• | You must choose Income Plan 1 or 2, and the Guaranteed Payment Period must be for at least 120 months, unless the Internal Revenue Service requires a different payment period. |
• | You may apply the Income Protection Benefit Option to more than one Income Plan. |
• | The AIR must be 3% for the Income Plan(s) to which you wish to apply this benefit. |
67
• | You may only add the Income Protection Benefit Option on the Payout Start Date and, once added, the option cannot be cancelled. |
• | You may not add the Income Protection Benefit Option without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add the Income Protection Benefit Option. |
• | You may not convert variable income payments to fixed income payments. |
If you select the Income Protection Benefit Option, we guarantee that your variable income payments under each of the Income Plans to which the option is applied will never be less that 85% of the initial variable amount income value (“Income Protection Benefit”), as calculated on the Payout Start Date under such Income Plans, unless you have elected a reduced survivor payment plan under Income Plan 2. If you have elected a reduced survivor payment plan, we guarantee that your variable income payments to which the option is applied will never be less than 85% of the initial variable amount income value prior to the later of 1) the death of an Annuitant; or 2) the end of the guaranteed payment period. On or after the later of these events, we guarantee that your variable income payments will never be less than 85% of the initial variable amount income value multiplied by the percentage you elected for your reduced survivor plan. See Appendix C for numerical examples that illustrate how the Income Protection Benefit is calculated.
If you add the Income Protection Benefit Option to your Contract, the mortality and expense risk charge during the Payout Phase will be increased. The charge for the Income Protection Benefit Option will apply only to the Income Plan(s) to which the Option has been applied. Currently, the charge for this option is 0.75% of the daily net Variable Account assets supporting the variable income payments to which the Income Protection Benefit Option applies. Once the option is issued, we will not increase what we charge you for the benefit.
In order to ensure that we achieve adequate investment diversification (“Income Protection Diversification Requirement”), we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to impose limitations on the investment alternatives in which you may invest during the Payout Phase with respect to the assets supporting the variable income payments to which the Income Protection Benefit Option applies. These limitations may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain Variable Sub-Accounts, exclusion of certain Variable Sub-Accounts, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts, and/or the required use of Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing.
To achieve our Income Protection Diversification Requirement, we have divided the Variable Sub-Accounts into three separate categories: “unrestricted,” “restricted” and “excluded.” Currently, we require that you allocate between 30% to 100% of the assets supporting your variable income payments to the unrestricted Variable Sub-Accounts in any manner you choose. You may allocate up to 70% of the assets supporting your variable income payments to the restricted Variable Sub-Accounts. You may not, however, allocate more than 20% of the assets supporting your variable income payments to any one of the restricted Variable Sub-Accounts. You may not allocate any portion of the assets supporting your variable income payments to the excluded Variable Sub-Accounts.
In the following three tables, we list our current Income Protection Diversification Requirement:
Unrestricted Variable Sub-Accounts. There is no limit to the amount of assets supporting your variable income payments that you may allocate to any one or more of the following Variable Sub-Accounts. Currently, we require that you allocate at least 30% of the assets supporting your variable income payments to this category.

You must use quarterly Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing to meet our Income Protection Diversification Requirement. On the date of each rebalancing, we will reallocate the amount of the assets supporting your variable income payments according to the rebalancing percentages you have selected, subject to the then current restrictions and exclusions in effect. We expect that the restrictions and exclusions for each category will change from time to time. Any change in these restrictions and exclusions will become effective no later than the next regularly scheduled rebalancing of your Variable Sub-Account choices on or immediately after the date of change.
The Income Protection Diversification Requirement is based on a model. We may use a model developed and maintained by us or we may elect to use a model developed or provided by an independent third party. We will notify you at least 30 days before we make any change to our Income Protection Diversification Requirement.
We may determine which Variable Sub-Accounts are eligible for each category or we may elect to follow the recommendations of an independent third party. We may at any time make new determinations as to which Variable Sub-Accounts are unrestricted, restricted or excluded. We may do so for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, a change in the investment objectives or policies of a Portfolio, or the failure, in our sole determination, of such Portfolio to invest in accordance with its stated investment objective or policies.
Transfers made for purposes of meeting the Income Protection Diversification Requirement will not count towards the number of free transfers you may make each Contract Year. See “Investment Alternatives: Transfers,” above, for additional information.
FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS
We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for the duration of the Income Plan. The guaranteed income payment amounts will change if the frequency of payments or the length of the payment period changes.
We calculate the fixed income payments by:
• | adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment; |
• | deducting any applicable taxes; and |
• | applying the resulting amount to the greater of: (a) the appropriate income payment factor for the selected Income Plan from the Income Payment Table in your Contract; or (b) such other income payment factor as we are offering on the Payout Start Date. |
We may defer your request to make a withdrawal from fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or whatever shorter time state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal request to the date we make payment.
RETIREMENT INCOME GUARANTEE OPTIONS
Effective January 1, 2004, we ceased offering the Retirement Income Guarantee Options (“RIG 1” and “RIG 2”), except in a limited number of states. Effective May 1, 2004, the RIG 1 and RIG 2 Options are no longer available in any state. If you added a Retirement Income Guarantee Option to your Contract prior to January 1, 2004 (up to May 1, 2004 in certain states), your Option will continue to apply to your Contract. Also, effective January 1, 2004, we discontinued the Trade-In Program. If you previously elected a RIG Option, you may cancel your RIG 1 or RIG 2 Option during the 60-day period following your next 3rd Contract Anniversary after January 1, 2004. If you do not cancel the Option during this 60-day period, you will not be permitted to cancel it later. Please check with your Morgan Stanley Financial Advisor for details.
The following describes the Retirement Income Guarantee Options for Contract Owners who elected the Option prior to May 1, 2004.
We refer to the issue date of the option as the “Rider Date.” You may add only one Retirement Income Guarantee Option to your Contract. The oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant must be age 75 or younger on the Rider Application Date. Once you add a rider to your Contract, it may not be cancelled except during the 60-day period following the next 3rd Contract Anniversary after January 1, 2004, as described above.
We reserve the right to impose limitations on the investment alternatives in which you may invest as a condition of these options. These restrictions may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain investment alternatives, exclusion of certain investment alternatives, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts and/or the required use of Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing. Currently, no such restrictions are being imposed.
For each option, an “Income Base” is calculated, which is used only for the purpose of calculating the “Guaranteed Retirement Income Benefit” and the appropriate “Rider Fee,” all defined below. The Income Base does not provide a Contract Value or guarantee performance of any investment option. The Income Base for RIG 1 and RIG 2 are described in more detail below.
You may apply the Income Base less applicable taxes to an Income Plan on the Payout Start Date and receive the Guaranteed Retirement Income Benefit if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
• | The Payout Start Date must be on or after the 10th Contract Anniversary of the Rider Date. |
• | The Payout Start Date must occur during the 30-day period following a Contract Anniversary. |
71
• | The oldest Annuitant must be age 99 or younger as of the Payout Start Date. |
• | You must select Fixed Amount Income Payments only. |
• | You must select Income Plan 1 or 2, with a Guaranteed Payment Period of at least: |
• | 120 months, if the youngest Annuitant is age 80 or younger as of the Payout Start Date; or |
• | 60 months, if the youngest Annuitant is older than age 80 as of the Payout Start Date. |
The “Guaranteed Retirement Income Benefit” is determined by applying the Income Base, less any applicable taxes, to the appropriate monthly income payment factor shown in the Income Payment Tables in your Contract for the selected Income Plan.
If a different payment frequency (quarterly, semi-annual, or annual) or different Income Plan is selected, an income payment factor for the selected payment frequency and Income Plan is determined on the same mortality and interest rate basis as the Income Payment Tables shown in your Contract.
On the Payout Start Date, the income payments for the selected Income Plan will be the greater of:
• | The Guaranteed Retirement Income Benefit; or |
• | For fixed income payments, the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less any applicable taxes is applied to the greater of: the appropriate income payment factor for the selected Income Plan from the income payment tables in your Contract, or an income payment factor for the selected Income Plan that we are offering on the Payout Start Date. |
We assess an annual Rider Fee if you selected one of the Retirement Income Guarantee Options. The Rider Fee is deducted on each Contract Anniversary on a pro rata basis from each of the Variable Sub-Accounts in which your Contract Value is invested on that date. The Rider Fee will decrease the number of Accumulation Units in each Variable Sub-Account. The Rider Fee is deducted only during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract. For the first Contract Anniversary following the Rider Date, the Rider Fee will be prorated to cover the period between the Rider Date and the first Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date. In the case of a full withdrawal of the Contract Value, the Rider Fee is prorated to cover the period between the Contract Anniversary immediately prior to the withdrawal and the date of the withdrawal.
The Rider Fee for RIG 1 is 0.40% of the Income Base on each Contract Anniversary. The Rider Fee for RIG 2 is 0.55% of the Income Base on each Contract Anniversary.
These options will terminate and the corresponding Rider Fee will cease on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | The date the Contract is terminated; |
• | If the Contract is not continued in the Accumulation Phase under either the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of the Contract. The option will terminate on the date we determine the Death Proceeds; |
• | The Payout Start Date; or |
• | You elect to cancel your RIG 1 or RIG 2 Option during the 60-day period following the next 3rd Contract Anniversary after January 1, 2004 (since we discontinued offering the Trade-In Program as of that date). |
Otherwise, the options may not be terminated or cancelled.
Calculation of Income Base.
On the Rider Date, the “RIG 1 Income Base” is equal to the Contract Value. The RIG 1 Income Base, plus purchase payments made after the Rider Date and less RIG 1 withdrawal adjustments for withdrawals made after the Rider Date, will accumulate interest on a daily basis at a rate equivalent to 5% per year (3% in certain states), subject to the “Cap” defined below. This accumulation will continue until the first Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first. After the 5% interest accumulation ends (3% in certain states), the RIG 1 Income Base will continue to be increased by purchase payments and reduced by RIG 1 withdrawal adjustments for withdrawals until the option terminates. The “RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustment” is defined below.
The RIG 1 Income Base will not exceed a Cap equal to:
• | 200% of the Contract Value as of the Rider Date; plus |
• | 200% of purchase payments made after the Rider Date, but excluding any purchase payments made in the 12-month period immediately prior to the Payout Start Date; minus |
• | RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustments for any withdrawals made after the Rider Date. |
RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustment. Prior to the first Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier, the withdrawal adjustment is as follows:
• | In each Contract Year, for the portion of withdrawals that do not cumulatively exceed 5% (3% in certain states) of the RIG 1 Income Base as of the beginning of the Contract Year (or as of the Rider Date for the first Contract Year in which RIG 1 is added), the withdrawal adjustment is equal to the amount withdrawn (or portion thereof) multiplied by a discount factor. The discount factor is calculated using a 5% annual interest rate (3% in certain states) and the portion of the Contract Year between the |
72
withdrawal date and the end of the Contract Year. This withdrawal adjustment has the effect of reducing the RIG 1 Income Base at the end of the Contract Year by the actual amount of the withdrawal. In other words, for purposes of calculating the RIG 1 Income Base, the withdrawal is treated as if it occurred at the end of the Contract Year.
• | In each Contract Year, for the portion of withdrawals that cumulatively exceed 5% (3% in certain states) of the RIG 1 Income Base as of the beginning of the Contract Year (or as of the Rider Date for the first Contract Year in which RIG 1 is added), the withdrawal adjustment is equal to the withdrawal amount (or portion thereof), divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal and reduced for the portion of withdrawals that does not cumulatively exceed 5% (3% in certain states), and the result multiplied by the most recently calculated RIG 1 Income Base, reduced for the portion of withdrawals that does not cumulatively exceed 5% (3% in certain states). |
On or after the first Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or the Annuitant, all withdrawal adjustments are equal to the withdrawal amount, divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result multiplied by the most recently calculated RIG 1 Income Base.
See Appendix D for numerical examples that illustrate how the RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustment is applied.
The “RIG 2 Income Base” is defined as the greater of “Income Base A” or “Income Base B.”
“Income Base A” and its corresponding Withdrawal Adjustment are calculated in the same manner as the RIG 1 Income Base and RIG 1 Withdrawal Adjustment.
On the Rider Date, “Income Base B” is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date and prior to the Payout Start Date, Income Base B is recalculated each time a purchase payment or withdrawal is made as well as on each Contract Anniversary as follows:
• | Each time a purchase payment is made, Income Base B is increased by the amount of the purchase payment. |
• | Each time a withdrawal is made, Income Base B is reduced by a proportional withdrawal adjustment, defined as the withdrawal amount divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result multiplied by the most recently calculated Income Base B. |
• | On each Contract Anniversary until the first Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first, Income Base B is equal to the greater of the Contract Value on that date or the most recently calculated Income Base B. |
If no purchase payments or withdrawals are made after the Rider Date, Income Base B will be equal to the greatest of the Contract Value on the Rider Date and the Contract Values on each subsequent Contract Anniversary until the earlier of the Payout Start Date or the Contract Anniversary following the 85th birthday of the oldest Contact Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first.
CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by applicable law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if the Contract is used in connection with an employment-related retirement or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you should consult with legal counsel as to whether the Contract is appropriate.
Death Benefits
DEATH PROCEEDS
Under certain conditions, described below, we will pay Death Proceeds for this Contract on the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant if the death occurs prior to the Payout Start Date. If the Owner or Annuitant dies after the Payout Start Date, we will pay remaining income payments as described in the “Payout Phase” section of your Contract. See “Income Payments” for more information.
We will determine the value of the Death Proceeds as of the end of the Valuation Date during which we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement (the next Valuation Date, if we receive the request after 3:00 p.m. Central Time). In order to be considered a “Complete Request for Settlement,” a claim for distribution of the Death Proceeds must include “Due Proof of Death” in any of the following forms of documentation:
• | A certified copy of the death certificate; |
• | A certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death; or |
• | Any other proof acceptable to us. |
73
“Death Proceeds” are determined based on when we receive a Complete Request for Settlement:
• | If we receive a Complete Request for Settlement within 180 days of the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant, as applicable, the Death Proceeds are equal to the “Death Benefit.” |
• | If we receive a Complete Request for Settlement more than 180 days after the death of the Contract Owner, Annuitant, or Co-Annuitant, as applicable, the Death Proceeds are equal to the greater of the Contract Value or Settlement Value. We reserve the right to waive or extend, in a nondiscriminatory manner, the 180-day period in which the Death Proceeds will equal the Death Benefit. |
Where there are multiple Beneficiaries, we will only value the Death Proceeds at the time the first Beneficiary submits the necessary documentation in Good Order. Any Death Proceeds amounts attributable to any Beneficiary which remain in the Variable Sub-Accounts are subject to investment risk.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTIONS
In addition to the ROP Death Benefit included in your Contract, we offer the following death benefit options which may be added to your Contract:
• | MAV Death Benefit Option |
• | Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option |
• | Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option |
The SureIncome Plus Option and SureIncome For Life Option also include a death benefit option, the SureIncome Return of Premium Death Benefit (“SureIncome ROP Death Benefit.”)
The amount of the Death Benefit depends on which death benefit option(s) you select. Not all death benefit options are available in all states.
You may select any combination of death benefit options on the Issue Date of your Contract or at a later date, subject to state availability and issue age restrictions. You may not add any of the death benefit option(s) to your Contract after Contract issue without our prior approval if your Contract Value is greater than $1,000,000 at the time you choose to add an option(s).
The “Death Benefit” is equal to the Earnings Protection Death Benefit (if selected) plus the greatest of:
• | The Contract Value; |
• | The Settlement Value; |
• | The ROP Death Benefit; |
• | The MAV Death Benefit Option (if selected); |
• | The Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option (if selected); or |
• | The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit. * |
The “Settlement Value” is the amount that would be paid in the event of a full withdrawal of the Contract Value.
* The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit under the SureIncome For Life Option is only included in the calculation of the Death Benefit upon the death of the SureIncome Covered Life. If a Contract Owner, Annuitant or Co-Annuitant who is not the SureIncome Covered Life dies, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is not applicable.
The “ROP Death Benefit” is equal to the sum of all purchase payments, reduced by a proportional withdrawal adjustment for each withdrawal. The withdrawal adjustment is equal to the withdrawal amount divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result is multiplied by:
The sum of all purchase payments made prior to the withdrawal, less any prior withdrawal adjustments.
Maximum Anniversary Value Death Benefit Option.
The “MAV Death Benefit Option” is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. There is an additional mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option, currently equal to 0.20%. We may change what we charge for this death benefit option, but it will never exceed 0.30%. Once added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge you pay for this death benefit option.
On the date we issue the rider for this benefit (“Rider Date”), the MAV Death Benefit is equal to the Contract Value. After the Rider Date and prior to the date we determine the Death Proceeds (see “Death Proceeds,” above), the MAV Death Benefit is recalculated each time a purchase payment or withdrawal is made as well as on each Contract Anniversary as follows:
• | Each time a purchase payment is made, the MAV Death Benefit is increased by the amount of the purchase payment. |
• | Each time a withdrawal is made, the MAV Death Benefit is reduced by a proportional withdrawal adjustment, defined as the withdrawal amount divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result multiplied by the most recently calculated MAV Death Benefit. |
74
• | On each Contract Anniversary until the first Contract Anniversary following the 80th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first, the MAV Death Benefit is recalculated as the greater of the Contract Value on that date or the most recently calculated MAV Death Benefit. |
If no purchase payments or withdrawals are made after the Rider Date, the MAV Death Benefit will be equal to the greatest of the Contract Value on the Rider Date and the Contract Values on each subsequent Contract Anniversary after the Rider Date, but before the date we determine the Death Proceeds. If, upon death of the Contract Owner, the Contract is continued under Option D as described in the Death Benefits - Death Benefit Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D section, and if the oldest New Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant are age 80 or younger on the date we determine the Death Proceeds, then the MAV Death Benefit Option will continue. The MAV Death Benefit will continue to be recalculated for purchase payments, withdrawals, and on each Contract Anniversary after the date we determine the Death Proceeds until the earlier of:
• | The first Contract Anniversary following the 80th birthday of either the oldest New Contract Owner or the oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier. (After the 80th birthday of either the oldest New Contract Owner or the oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier, the MAV Death Benefit will be recalculated only for purchase payments and withdrawals); or |
• | The date we next determine the Death Proceeds. |
Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option.
The Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. There is an additional mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option, currently equal to 0.30%. We may change what we charge for this death benefit option, but it will never exceed 0.30%. Once added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge you pay for this death benefit option.
On the date we issue the rider for this benefit (“Rider Date”), the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit is equal to the Contract Value. The Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit, plus purchase payments made after the Rider Date and less withdrawal adjustments for withdrawals made after the Rider Date, will accumulate interest on a daily basis at a rate equivalent to 5% per year (3% in certain states), subject to the “Cap” defined below. This accumulation will continue until the earlier of:
(a) | the first Contract Anniversary following the 80th birthday of the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant, whichever occurs first; or |
(b) | the date we determine the Death Proceeds. |
After the 5% interest accumulation ends (3% in certain states), the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit will continue to be increased by purchase payments and reduced by withdrawal adjustments for withdrawals until the death benefit option terminates. The withdrawal adjustment is a proportional adjustment, defined as the withdrawal amount divided by the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and the result multiplied by the amount of the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit immediately prior to the withdrawal.
The Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit Cap is equal to:
• | 200% of the Contract Value as of the Rider Date; plus |
• | 200% of purchase payments made after the Rider Date, but excluding any purchase payments made in the 12-month period immediately prior to the death of the Contract Owner or the Annuitant; minus |
• | Withdrawal adjustments for any withdrawals made after the Rider Date. Refer to Appendix E for withdrawal adjustment examples. |
If, upon death of the Contract Owner, the Contract is continued under Option D as described in the Death Benefits - Death Benefit Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D section, and if the oldest New Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant are age 80 or younger on the date we determine the Death Proceeds, then the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Option will continue. The amount of the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds, plus subsequent purchase payments, less withdrawal adjustments for any subsequent withdrawals, will accumulate daily at a rate equivalent to 5% per year (3% in certain states) from the date we determine the Death Proceeds, until the earlier of:
• | The first Contract Anniversary following the 80th birthday of either the oldest New Contract Owner or the oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier. (After the 80th birthday of either the oldest New Owner or the oldest Annuitant, whichever is earlier, the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit will be recalculated only for purchase payments and withdrawals); or |
• | The date we next determine the Death Proceeds. |
75
Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option.
The “Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option” is only available if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. There is an additional mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option, currently equal to:
• | 0.25%, if the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 70 or younger on the Rider Application Date; and |
• | 0.40%, if the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant is over age 70 and all are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. |
We may change what we charge for this death benefit option, but it will never exceed 0.35% for issue ages 0-70 and 0.50% for issue ages 71-79. Once added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase the mortality and expense risk charge you pay for this death benefit option. However, if your spouse elects to continue the Contract in the event of your death and if he or she elects to continue the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the mortality and expense risk charge for the death benefit option will be based on the ages of the oldest new Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant at the time the Contract is continued.
If the oldest Contract Owner and oldest Annuitant are age 70 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit is equal to the lesser of:
• | 100% of “In-Force Premium” (excluding purchase payments made after the date we issue the rider for this benefit (“Rider Date”) and during the twelve- month period immediately prior to the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant); or |
• | 40% of “In-Force Earnings” |
calculated as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds.
If the oldest Contract Owner or oldest Annuitant is over age 70 and all are age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit is equal to the lesser of:
• | 50% of “In-Force Premium” (excluding purchase payments made after the Rider Date and during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the death of the Contract Owner or Annuitant); or |
• | 25% of “In-Force Earnings” |
calculated as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds.
In-Force Earnings are equal to the current Contract Value less In-Force Premium. If this quantity is negative, then In-Force Earnings are equal to zero.
In-Force Premium is equal to the Contract Value on the Rider Date, plus the sum of all purchase payments made after the Rider Date, less the sum of all “Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawals” made after the Rider Date.
An Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawal is equal to the excess, if any, of the amount of the withdrawal over the amount of the In-Force Earnings immediately prior to the withdrawal.
Refer to Appendix F for numerical examples that illustrate how the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option is calculated.
If, upon death of the Contract Owner, the Contract is continued under Option D as described in the Death Benefits - Death Benefit Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D section, and if the oldest new Owner and the oldest Annuitant are younger than age 80 on the date we determine the Death Proceeds, then this death benefit option will continue unless the New Contract Owner elects to terminate the death benefit option. If the death benefit option is continued, the following will apply as of the date we determine the Death Proceeds upon continuation:
• | The Rider Date will be changed to the date we determine the Death Proceeds; |
• | The In-Force Premium is equal to the Contract Value as of the new Rider Date plus all purchase payments made after the Rider Date, less the sum of all the Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawals made after the Rider Date; |
• | The Earnings Protection Death Benefit after the new Rider Date will be determined as described above, but using the ages of the oldest new Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant as of the new Rider Date. |
• | The mortality and expense risk charge, for this rider, will be determined as described above, but using the ages of the oldest new Contract Owner and the oldest Annuitant as of the new Rider Date. |
If either the Contract Owner’s or the Annuitant’s age is misstated, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit and the mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option will be calculated according to the corrected age as of the Rider Date. Your Contract Value will be adjusted to reflect the mortality and expense risk charge for this death benefit option that should have been assessed based on the corrected age.
ALL OPTIONS
We reserve the right to impose limitations on the investment alternatives in which you may invest as a condition of these options. These restrictions may include, but are not limited to, maximum investment limits on certain investment alternatives,
76
exclusion of certain investment alternatives, required minimum allocations to certain Variable Sub-Accounts and/or the required use of Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing. Currently, no such restrictions are being imposed.
These death benefit options will terminate and the corresponding Rider Fee will cease on the earliest of the following to occur:
• | the date the Contract is terminated; |
• | if, upon the death of the Contract Owner, the Contract is continued under Option D as described in the Death of Owner section in the Death Benefits - Death Benefit Payments - Death of Contract Owner - Option D section, and either the oldest New Owner or the oldest Annuitant is older than age 80 (age 80 or older for the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option) on the date we determine the Death Proceeds. The death benefit option will terminate on the date we determine the Death Proceeds; |
• | if the Contract is not continued in the Accumulation Phase under either the Death of Owner or Death of Annuitant provisions of the Contract. The death benefit option will terminate on the date we determine the Death Proceeds; |
• | on the date the Contract Owner (if the current Contract Owner is a living person) is changed for any reason other than death unless the New Contract Owner is a trust and the Annuitant is the current Contract Owner; |
• | on the date the Contract Owner (if the current Contract Owner is a non-living person) is changed for any reason unless the New Contract Owner is a non-living person or is the current Annuitant; or |
• | the Payout Start Date. |
Notwithstanding the preceding, in the event of the Contract Owner’s death, if the Contract Owner’s spouse elects to continue the Contract (as permitted in the Death of Owner provision below) he or she may terminate the Earnings Protection Death Benefit at that time.
DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS
Death of Contract Owner
If a Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, then the surviving Contract Owners will be “New Contract Owners”. If there are no surviving Contract Owners, then subject to any restrictions previously placed upon them, the Beneficiaries will be the New Contract Owners.
If there is more than one New Contract Owner taking a share of the Death Proceeds, each New Contract Owner will be treated as a separate and independent Contract Owner of his or her respective share of the Death Proceeds. Each New Contract Owner will exercise all rights related to his or her share of the Death Proceeds, including the sole right to elect one of the Option(s) below, subject to any restrictions previously placed upon the New Contract Owner. Each New Contract Owner may designate a Beneficiary(ies) for his or her respective share, but that designated Beneficiary(ies) will be restricted to the Option chosen by the original New Contract Owner.
The Options available to the New Contract Owner will be determined by the applicable following Category in which the New Contract Owner is defined. An Option will be deemed to have been chosen on the day we receive written notification in a form satisfactory to us.
New Contract Owner Categories
Category 1. If your spouse (or Annuitant’s spouse in the case of a grantor trust-owned Contract) is the sole New Contract Owner of the entire Contract, your spouse must choose from among the death settlement Options A, B, C, D, or E described below. If he or she does not choose one of these Options, then Option D will apply.
Category 2. If the New Contract Owner is a living person who is not your spouse (or Annuitant’s spouse in the case of a grantor trust-owned Contract), or there is more than one New Contract Owner, all of whom are living persons, each New Contract Owner must choose from among the death settlement Options A, B, C, or E described below. If a New Contract Owner does not choose one of these Options, then Option C will apply for that New Contract Owner.
Category 3. If there are one or more New Contract Owner(s) and at least one of the New Contract Owners is a non-living person such as a corporation or a trust, all New Contract Owners are considered to be non-living persons for purposes of the death settlement options. Each New Contract Owner must choose death settlement Option A or C described below. If a New Contract Owner does not choose one of these Options, then Option C will apply for that New Contract Owner.
The death settlement options we currently offer are:
Option A. The New Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum.
Option B. The New Contract Owner may elect to apply the Death Proceeds to one of the Income Plans described above. Such income payments must begin within one year of the date of death and must be payable:
• | Over the life of the New Contract Owner; or |
• | For a guaranteed payment period of at least 5 years (60 months), but not to exceed the life expectancy of the New Contract Owner; or |
77
• | Over the life of the New Contract Owner with a guaranteed payment period of at least 5 years (60 months), but not to exceed the life expectancy of the New Contract Owner. |
Option C. The New Contract Owner may elect to receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of the date of death. The Contract Value, as of the date we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement, will be reset to equal the Death Proceeds as of that date. Any excess amount of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value on that date will be allocated to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account unless the New Contract Owner provides other allocation instructions.
The New Contract Owner may not make any additional purchase payments under this option. Withdrawal charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during the 5-year period after the date of death; however, amounts withdrawn may be subject to Market Value Adjustments. The New Contract Owner may exercise all rights set forth in the Transfers provision.
If the New Contract Owner dies before the Contract Value is completely withdrawn, the New Contract Owner’s Beneficiary(ies) will receive the greater of the remaining Settlement Value or the remaining Contract Value within 5 years of the date of the original Contract Owner’s death. If we do not receive instructions on where to send the payment within 5 years of the date of death, the funds will be escheated.
Option D. The New Contract Owner may elect to continue the Contract in the Accumulation Phase. If the Contract Owner was also the Annuitant, then the New Contract Owner will be the new Annuitant. This Option may only be exercised once per Contract. The Contract Value, as of the date we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement, will be reset to equal the Death Proceeds as of that date. Note that if you elected to receive required minimum distributions under a Minimum Distribution Option, the program will be discontinued upon receipt of notification of death. The final required minimum distribution must be distributed prior to establishing a beneficiary payment option for the balance of the Contract.
Unless otherwise instructed by the continuing spouse, the excess, if any, of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. This excess will be allocated in proportion to your Contract Value in those Sub-Accounts as of the end of the Valuation Date that we receive the complete request for settlement except that any portion of this excess attributable to the Fixed Account Options will be allocated to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account.
Within 30 days after the date we determine the Death Proceeds, the New Contract Owner may make a one-time transfer of all or a portion of the excess of the Death Proceeds, if any, into any combination of Variable Sub-Accounts, the Standard Fixed Account and the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Account without incurring a transfer fee, provided the investment alternative is available with the Contract at that time. Any such transfer does not count as one of the free transfers allowed each Contract Year and is subject to any minimum allocation amount specified in this Contract.
The New Contract Owner may make a single withdrawal of any amount within one year of the date of your death without incurring a Withdrawal Charge; however, the amount withdrawn may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment and a 10% tax penalty if the New Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2.
Option E. For Nonqualified Contracts, the New Contract Owner may elect to make withdrawals at least annually of amounts equal to the “Annual Required Distribution” calculated for each calendar year. The first such withdrawal must occur within:
• | One year of the date of death; |
• | The same calendar year as the date we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement; and |
• | One withdrawal frequency. |
The New Contract Owner must select the withdrawal frequency (monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual). Once this option is elected and frequency of withdrawals is chosen, they cannot be changed by the New Contract Owner and become irrevocable.
In the calendar year in which the Death Proceeds are determined, the Annual Required Distribution is equal to the Contract Value on the date of the first distribution divided by the “Life Expectancy” of the New Contract Owner and the result multiplied by a fraction that represents the portion of the calendar year remaining after the date of the first distribution. (The Contract Value, as of the date we receive the Complete Request for Settlement, will be reset to equal the Death Proceeds as of that date. The Contract Value on the date of the first distribution may be more or less than the Contract Value as of the date we receive the Complete Request for Settlement.) The Life Expectancy in that calendar year is equal to the life expectancy value from IRS Tables based on the age of the New Contract Owner as of his or her birthday in the same calendar year.
In any subsequent calendar year, the Annual Required Distribution is equal to the Contract Value as of December 31 of the prior year divided by the remaining Life Expectancy of the New Contract Owner. In each calendar year after the calendar year in which the first distribution occurred, the Life Expectancy of the New Contract Owner is the Life Expectancy calculated in the previous calendar year minus one (1) year. If the Life Expectancy is less than one (1), the Annual Required Distribution is equal to the Contract Value.
If the New Contract Owner dies before the Contract Value is completely withdrawn, the scheduled withdrawals will continue to be paid to the New Contract Owner’s Beneficiary(ies). The Contract Value invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts will be subject to investment risk until it is withdrawn.

We reserve the right to offer additional death settlement options.
Death of Annuitant
If the Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date, then the surviving Contract Owners will have the Options available to the New Contract Owner, determined by the applicable following category in which the New Contract Owner is defined, unless:
• | The Annuitant was also the Contract Owner, in which case the Death of Owner provisions above apply; or |
• | The Contract Owner is a grantor trust not established by a business, in which case the Beneficiary(ies) will be deemed the New Contract Owners and the Death of Contract Owner provisions above will apply. |
Surviving Contract Owner Categories
Category 1. If the Contract Owner is a living person, prior to the Annuitant’s death, the Contract Owner must choose from among the death settlement Options A, B, or D described below. If the Contract Owner does not choose one of these Options, then Option D will apply.
Category 2. If the Contract Owner is a non-living person such as a corporation or a trust, the Contract Owner must choose from death settlement Options A or C described below. If the Contract Owner does not choose one of these Options, then Option C will apply.
The death settlement options we currently offer are:
Option A. The Contract Owner may elect to receive the Death Proceeds in a lump sum.
Option B. The Contract Owner may elect to apply the Death Proceeds to one of the Income Plans described above. Such income payments must begin within one year of the date of death.
Option C. The Contract Owner may elect to receive the Contract Value payable within 5 years of the date of death. The Contract Value, as of the date we receive the first Complete Request for Settlement, will be reset to equal the Death Proceeds as of that date. Any excess amount of the Death Proceeds over the Contract Value on that date will be allocated to the Fidelity® VIP Government Money Market - Service Class 2 Sub-Account unless the Contract Owner provides other allocation instructions.
The Contract Owner may not make any additional purchase payments under this option. Withdrawal charges will be waived for any withdrawals made during the 5-year period after the date of death; however, amounts withdrawn may be subject to Market Value Adjustments. The Contract Owner may exercise all rights set forth in the Transfers provision.
Option D. The Contract Owner may elect to continue the Contract and the youngest Contract Owner will become the new Annuitant. The Contract Value of the continued Contract will not be adjusted to equal the Death Proceeds.
We reserve the right to offer additional death settlement options.
Qualified Contracts
The death settlement options for Qualified Contracts, including IRAs, may be different to conform with the individual tax requirements of each type of Qualified Contract. Please refer to your Endorsement for IRAs or 403(b) plans, if applicable, for additional information on your death settlement options. In the case of certain Qualified Plans, the terms of the Qualified Plan Endorsement and the plans may govern the right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option and Death of Co-Annuitant
We offer a Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option that may be added to your Contract subject to the following conditions:
• | The individually owned Contract must be either a traditional, Roth, or Simplified Employee Pension IRA. |
• | The Contract Owner’s spouse must be the sole Primary Beneficiary of the Contract and will be the named Co-Annuitant. |
• | The Contract Owner must be age 90 or younger on the Rider Application Date; and the Co-Annuitant must be age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date. |

We may require proof of marriage in a form satisfactory to us. |
Under the Spousal Protection Benefit Option, the Co-Annuitant will be considered to be an Annuitant under the Contract during the Accumulation Phase except that the “Death of Annuitant” provision does not apply on the death of the Co-Annuitant, and the latest Payout Start Date will be based solely on the Contract Owner’s age.
You may change the Co-Annuitant to a new spouse only if you provide proof of remarriage in a form satisfactory to us. Once we accept a change, the change will take effect on the date you signed the request. Each change is subject to any payment we make or other action we take before we accept it. At any time, there may be only one Co-Annuitant under your Contract.
79
There is an annual Rider Fee of 0.10% of the Contract Value for new Options added on or after January 1, 2005. For Options added prior to this date, there is no charge for this Option. We reserve the right to assess an annual Rider Fee not to exceed 0.15% for Options added in the future. Once this Option is added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase what we charge you for this Option. For Contracts purchased on or after January 1, 2005, we may discontinue offering the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option at any time prior to the time you elect to receive it.
The option will terminate upon the date termination is accepted by us or will terminate on the earliest of the following occurrences:

• | for options added prior to January 1, 2005, the Owner may terminate this option at anytime by written notice in a form satisfactory to us. |
Once terminated, a new Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option cannot be added to the Contract unless the last Option attached to the Contract was terminated due to divorce or a change of beneficiary.
Death of Co-Annuitant. If the Co-Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date, subject to the following conditions, the Contract will be continued according to Option D under the “Death of Owner” provision of your Contract:
• | The Co-Annuitant must have been your legal spouse on the date of his or her death; and |
• | Option D of the “Death of Owner” provision of your Contract has not previously been exercised. |
The Contract may only be continued once under Option D under the “Death of Owner” provision. For a description of Option D, see the “Death of Owner” section of this prospectus.

For Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Options for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts added on or after January 1, 2005, there is an annual Rider Fee of 0.10% of the Contract Value for this Option. For Options added prior to this date, there is no charge for this Option. We reserve the right to assess an annual Rider Fee not to exceed 0.15% for Options added in the future. Once this Option is added to your Contract, we guarantee that we will not increase what we charge you for this Option. For Contracts issued on or after January 1, 2005, we may discontinue offering the Spousal Protection Benefit (Co-Annuitant) Option for Custodial Individual Retirement Accounts at any time to new Contract Owners and to existing Contract Owners who did not elect the Option prior to the date of discontinuance.
The Owner may terminate CSP upon the divorce of the Annuitant and the Co-Annuitant by providing written notice and proof of divorce in a form satisfactory to us. The Owner may also terminate CSP upon a change in the beneficiary of the IRA by providing written notice and proof of the change in a form satisfactory to us.

More Information
ALLSTATE
Allstate Life is the issuer of the Contract. Allstate Life was organized in 1957 as a stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Illinois.
Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company organized under the laws of the State of Illinois. All of the capital stock issued and outstanding of Allstate Insurance Company is owned by Allstate Insurance Holdings, LLC, which is wholly owned by The Allstate Corporation.
Allstate Life is licensed to operate in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and all jurisdictions except the State of New York. We intend to offer the Contract in those jurisdictions in which we are licensed. Our home office is located at 3075 Sanders Road, Northbrook, Illinois, 60062.
Effective June 1, 2006, Allstate Life entered into an agreement (“the Agreement”) with Prudential Financial, Inc. and its subsidiary, The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“PICA”) pursuant to which Allstate Life sold, through a combination of coinsurance and modified coinsurance reinsurance, substantially all of its variable annuity business. Pursuant to the Agreement Allstate Life and PICA also entered into an administrative services agreement which provides that PICA or an affiliate administer the Variable Account
81
and the Contracts. The benefits and provisions of the Contracts have not been changed by these transactions and agreements. None of the transactions or agreements have changed the fact that we are primarily liable to you under your Contract.
We receive compensation from the investment advisers, administrators or distributors, or their affiliates, of the Portfolios in connection with the administrative, distribution, or other services we provide to the Portfolios. We collect this compensation under agreements between us and the Portfolio’s investment adviser, administrators or distributors, and is calculated based on a percentage of the average assets allocated to the Portfolio.
VARIABLE ACCOUNT
Allstate Life established the Allstate Financial Advisors Separate Account I in 1999. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable Account or Allstate Life.
We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated asset account under Illinois law. That means we account for the Variable Account’s income, gains and losses separately from the results of our other operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations. Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of Allstate Life.
The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, each of which invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or investment conditions so warrant. We do not guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.
THE PORTFOLIOS
Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions. We automatically reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions from the Portfolios in shares of the distributing Portfolios at their net asset value.
Voting Privileges. As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote the shares of the Portfolios held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have allocated your Contract Value. Under current law, however, you are entitled to give us instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. Based on our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the Portfolios that we hold directly or indirectly through the Variable Account in accordance with instructions that we receive from Contract Owners entitled to give such instructions.
As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract Owner or anyone with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record date of the meeting. After the Payout Start Date the person receiving income payments has the voting interest. The payee’s number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. The votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract decrease.
We will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which we have not received instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon on a pro-rata basis to reduce the votes eligible to be cast.
We reserve the right to vote Portfolio shares as we see fit without regard to voting instructions to the extent permitted by law. If we disregard voting instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.
Changes in Portfolios. If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the Contract, we may eliminate that Portfolio and substitute shares of another eligible investment fund. Any substitution of securities will comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new Variable Sub-Accounts that invest in additional underlying funds. We will notify you in advance of any change.
Conflicts of Interest. Certain of the Portfolios sell their shares to separate accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts. It is conceivable that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in the same Portfolio. The board of directors/trustees of these Portfolios monitors for possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Portfolios. Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, the Portfolio’s board of directors/trustees may require a separate account to withdraw its participation in a Portfolio. A Portfolio’s net asset value could decrease if it had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate account withdrawing because of a conflict.

Morgan Stanley & Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, is located at 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036. Morgan Stanley & Co. is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and FINRA.

These registered representatives are also licensed as insurance agents by applicable state insurance authorities and appointed as agents of Allstate Life in order to sell the Contracts.
We will pay commissions to Morgan Stanley & Co. for selling the Contracts. We may pay to Morgan Stanley & Co. up to a maximum sales commission of 6.0% of purchase payments. In addition, we may pay ongoing annual compensation of up to 1.40% of Contract value. To compensate Morgan Stanley for the costs of distribution, insurance licensing, due diligence and other home office services, we pay Morgan Stanley an additional percentage of purchase payments not exceeding 0.80% and a percentage of Contract Value not exceeding 0.20%. Commissions and annual compensation, when combined, could exceed 8.5% of total premium payments. Individual representatives receive a portion of compensation paid to Morgan Stanley & Co. in accordance with Morgan Stanley & Co.’s practices.
We also make additional payments to Morgan Stanley & Co. for promotional marketing and educational expenses and to reimburse certain expenses of registered representatives relating to sales of Contracts. For more information on the exact compensation arrangement associated with this Contract, please consult your registered representative.
In addition, Morgan Stanley & Co. may pay annually to its representatives, from its profits, a persistency bonus that will take into account, among other things, the length of time purchase payments have been held under the Contract and Contract Value.
The Contracts are no longer sold to new customers, however, existing customers can continue to hold the Contracts and make additional purchase payments. The Contracts were sold exclusively by Morgan Stanley & Co. and its affiliates to its clients.
Morgan Stanley & Co. does not receive compensation for its role as principal underwriter.
Effective June 1, 2009, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup Inc. (“Citi”) established a new broker dealer, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC (“MSSB”), as part of a joint venture that included the Global Wealth Management Group within Morgan Stanley & Co. In furtherance of this joint venture, effective June 1, 2009, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC was added as an additional party to the General Agency/Selling Agreement related to sales of the Contracts through the Morgan Stanley channel of MSSB. Compensation amounts previously paid to Morgan Stanley & Co. are now paid to MSSB.

There are two main exceptions: if the item arrives at our Annuity Service Center (1) on a day that is not a business day, or (2) after the close of a business day, then, in each case, we are deemed to have received that item on the next business day.
We will also provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.
We provide information about cyber security risks associated with this Annuity in the Statement of Additional Information.
ANNUITIES HELD WITHIN A QUALIFIED PLAN
If you use the Contract within an employer sponsored qualified retirement plan, the plan may impose different or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waivers of withdrawal charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if Qualified Plan limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your Qualified Plan administrator for more information. Allstate Life no longer issues deferred annuities to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending legal proceedings to which the Separate Account is a party. Allstate Life is engaged from time to time in routine lawsuits, which, in management’s judgment, are not likely to have a material effect, either individually or in the aggregate, on the operating results, cash flows or financial position of Allstate Life.
LEGAL MATTERS
All matters of Illinois law pertaining to the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and Allstate Life’s right to issue such Contracts under Illinois insurance law, have been passed upon by Angela K. Fontana, General Counsel of Allstate Life.
Taxes
The following discussion is general and is not intended as tax advice. Allstate Life makes no guarantee regarding the tax treatment of any Contract or transaction involving a Contract.
Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances. If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard to your individual circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.
TAXATION OF ALLSTATE LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
Allstate Life is taxed as a life insurance company under Part I of Subchapter L of the Code. Since the Variable Account is not an entity separate from Allstate Life, and its operations form a part of Allstate Life, it will not be taxed separately. Investment income and realized capital gains of the Variable Account are automatically applied to increase reserves under the Contract. Under existing federal income tax law, Allstate Life believes that the Variable Account investment income and capital gains will not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase the reserves under the Contract. Accordingly, Allstate Life does not anticipate that it will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the Variable Account, and therefore Allstate Life does not intend to make provisions for any such taxes. Allstate Life will periodically review the issue of charging for taxes on investment income or capital gains of the Variable Account, and may impose a charge against the Variable Account in order to make provision for such taxes.
TAXATION OF VARIABLE ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
Tax Deferral. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:
• | the Contract Owner is a natural person, |
• | the investments of the Variable Account are “adequately diversified” according to Treasury Department regulations, and |
• | Allstate Life is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal income tax purposes. |
Non-Natural Owners. Non-natural owners are also referred to as Non Living Owners in this prospectus. As a general rule, annuity contracts owned by non-natural persons such as corporations, trusts, or other entities are not treated as annuity contracts for federal
84
income tax purposes. The income on such contracts does not enjoy tax deferral and is taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the non-natural owner during the taxable year.
Exceptions to the Non-Natural Owner Rule. There are several exceptions to the general rule that annuity contracts held by a non-natural owner are not treated as annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. Contracts will generally be treated as held by a natural person if the nominal owner is a trust or other entity which holds the contract as agent for a natural person. However, this special exception will not apply in the case of an employer who is the nominal owner of an annuity contract under a non-Qualified deferred compensation arrangement for its employees. Other exceptions to the non-natural owner rule are: (1) contracts acquired by an estate of a decedent by reason of the death of the decedent; (2) certain qualified contracts; (3) contracts purchased by employers upon the termination of certain Qualified Plans; (4) certain contracts used in connection with structured settlement agreements; and (5) immediate annuity contracts, purchased with a single premium, when the annuity starting date is no later than a year from purchase of the annuity and substantially equal periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the annuity period.
Trusts are required to complete and submit a Certificate of Entity form, and we will tax report based on the information provided on this form.
Grantor Trust Owned Annuity. Contracts owned by a grantor trust are considered owned by a non-natural owner. Grantor trust owned contracts receive tax deferral as described in the Exceptions to the Non-Natural Owner Rule section. In accordance with the Code, upon the death of the annuitant, the death benefit must be paid. According to your Contract, the Death Benefit is paid to the beneficiary. A trust named beneficiary, including a grantor trust, has two options for receiving any death benefits: 1) a lump sum payment, or 2) payment deferred up to five years from date of death.
Diversification Requirements. For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Variable Account must be “adequately diversified” consistent with standards under Treasury Department regulations. If the investments in the Variable Account are not adequately diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable year. Although Allstate Life does not have control over the Portfolios or their investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.
Ownership Treatment. The IRS has stated that a contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if he possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which investor control of the separate account investments may cause a Contract owner to be treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate account.
Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in private and published rulings in which it found that Contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, if your contract offers more than twenty (20) investment alternatives you have the choice to allocate premiums and contract values among a broader selection of investment alternatives than described in such rulings. You may be able to transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings. These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Variable Account assets would be includible in your gross income. Allstate Life does not know what standards will be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However, we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.
Cost Basis. Generally, the cost basis in an annuity not associated with a qualified retirement plan is the amount you pay into your annuity, or into annuity exchanged for your annuity, on an after-tax basis less any withdrawals of such payments. Cost basis for a qualified retirement plan is provided only in limited circumstances, such as for contributions to a Roth IRA or nondeductible contributions to a traditional IRA. We do not track cost basis for qualified retirement plans, which is the responsibility of the Contract Owner.
Taxation of Partial and Full Withdrawals. If you make a partial withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount you receive will be taxed as ordinary income, rather than as return of cost basis, until all gain has been withdrawn. If you make a full withdrawal under a Non-Qualified Contract, the amount received will be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the cost basis in the Contract. An exception to this treatment exists for contracts purchased prior to August 14, 1982. Withdrawals are treated as a return of cost basis in the Annuity first until Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982 are withdrawn. Moreover, income allocable to Purchase Payments made before August 14, 1982, is not subject to the 10% tax penalty.
Taxation of Annuity Payments. Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity payments received from a Non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your cost basis in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period. The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the ratio of the cost basis in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or period certain) to the total expected value of annuity
85
payments for the term of the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from taxable income is determined by dividing the cost basis in the Contract by the total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable after the total amount of the cost basis in the Contract is excluded using these ratios. If any variable payment is less than the excludable amount you should contact a competent tax advisor to determine how to report any unrecovered investment. The federal tax treatment of annuity payments is unclear in some respects. As a result, if the IRS should provide further guidance, it is possible that the amount we calculate and report to the IRS as taxable could be different. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the cost basis in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount may be allowed as a deduction for your last taxable year. Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, this deduction is suspended until after 2025.
Maximum Annuity Date . You must commence annuity payments no later than the first day of the calendar month following the maximum Annuity Date for your Annuity. Upon reaching the maximum Annuity Date you can no longer surrender, exchange, or transfer your contract. The maximum Annuity Date may be the same as the Latest Annuity Date as described elsewhere in this prospectus. For some of our Annuities, you can choose to defer the Annuity Date beyond the default or Latest Annuity Date, as applicable, described in your Annuity. However, the IRS may not then consider your Annuity to be an Annuity under the tax law.
Partial Annuitization. An individual may partially annuitize their non-qualified annuity if the contract so permits. The tax law includes a provision which allows for a portion of a non-qualified annuity, endowment or life insurance contract to be annuitized while the balance is not annuitized. The annuitized portion must be paid out over 10 or more years or over the lives of one or more individuals. The annuitized portion of the contract is treated as a separate contract for purposes of determining taxability of the payments under Section 72 of the Code. We do not currently permit partial annuitization.
Taxation of Level Monthly Variable Annuity Payments. You may have an option to elect a variable income payment stream consisting of level monthly payments that are recalculated annually. Although we will report your levelized payments to the IRS in the year distributed, it is possible the IRS could determine that receipt of the first monthly payout of each annual amount is constructive receipt of the entire annual amount. If the IRS were to take this position, the taxable amount of your levelized payments would be accelerated to the time of the first monthly payout and reported in the tax year in which the first monthly payout is received.
Withdrawals After the Payout Start Date. Federal tax law is unclear regarding the taxation of any additional withdrawal received after the Payout Start Date. It is possible that a greater or lesser portion of such a payment could be taxable than the amount we determine.
Distribution at Death Rules. In order to be considered an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Contract must provide:
• | if any Contract Owner dies on or after the Payout Start Date but before the entire interest in the Contract has been distributed, the remaining portion of such interest must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of the Contract Owner’s death; |
• | if any Contract Owner dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the entire interest in the Contract will be distributed within 5 years after the date of the Contract Owner’s death. These requirements are satisfied if any portion of the Contract Owner’s interest that is payable to (or for the benefit of) a designated Beneficiary is distributed over the life of such Beneficiary (or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the Beneficiary) and the distributions begin within 1 year of the Contract Owner’s death. If the Contract Owner’s designated Beneficiary is the surviving spouse of the Contract Owner, the Contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new Contract Owner; |
• | if the Contract Owner is a non-natural person, then the Annuitant will be treated as the Contract Owner for purposes of applying the distribution at death rules. In addition, a change in the Annuitant on a Contract owned by a non-natural person will be treated as the death of the Contract Owner. |
Taxation of Annuity Death Benefits. Death Benefit amounts are included in income as follows:
• | if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a total withdrawal, or |
• | if distributed under an Income Plan, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments. |
Medicare Tax on Net Investment Income The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, enacted in 2010, included a Medicare tax on investment income. This tax assesses a 3.8% surtax on the lesser of (1) net investment income or (2) the excess of “modified adjusted gross income” over a threshold amount. The “threshold amount” is $250,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly, $125,000 for married taxpayers filing separately, $200,000 for single taxpayers, and approximately $12,500 for trusts. The taxable portion of payments received as a withdrawal, surrender, annuity payment, death benefit payment or any other actual or deemed distribution under the contract will be considered investment income for purposes of this surtax.
Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract. The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
• | made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2, |
86
• | made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or becoming totally disabled, |
• | made in substantially equal periodic payments (as defined by the Code) over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary, |
• | made under an immediate annuity and the annuity start date is no more than one year from the date of purchase (the first annuity payment must commence within 13 months of the date of purchase), or |
• | attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982. |
You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.
Substantially Equal Periodic Payments. With respect to non-Qualified Contracts using substantially equal periodic payments or immediate annuity payments as an exception to the penalty tax on premature distributions, any additional withdrawal or other material modification of the payment stream would violate the requirement that payments must be substantially equal. Failure to meet this requirement would mean that the income portion of each payment received prior to the later of 5 years or the Contract Owner’s attaining age 59 1/2 would be subject to a 10% penalty tax unless another exception to the penalty tax applied. The tax for the year of the modification is increased by the penalty tax that would have been imposed without the exception, plus interest for the years in which the exception was used. A material modification does not include permitted changes described in published IRS rulings. You should consult a competent tax advisor prior to creating or modifying a substantially equal periodic payment stream.
Special Rules in Relation to Tax-free Exchanges Under Section 1035. Section 1035 of the Code permits certain tax-free exchanges of a life insurance, annuity or endowment contract for an annuity, including tax-free exchanges of annuity death benefits for a Beneficiary Annuity. The contract owner(s) must be the same on the old and new contract. Basis from the old contract carries over to the new contract so long as we receive that information from the relinquishing company. If basis information is never received, we will assume that all exchanged funds represent earnings and will allocate no cost basis to them. After you elect an Income Plan as described in the Income Payments section earlier in the prospectus, you are not eligible for a tax-free exchange under Section 1035.
Partial Exchanges. The IRS has issued rulings that permit partial exchanges of annuity contracts. Effective for exchanges on or after October 24, 2011, where there is a surrender or distribution from either the initial annuity contract or receiving annuity contract within 180 days of the date on which the partial exchange was completed, the IRS will apply general tax rules to determine the substance and treatment of the original transfer.
If a partial exchange is retroactively negated, the amount originally transferred to the recipient contract is treated as a withdrawal from the source contract, taxable to the extent of any gain in that contract on the date of the exchange. An additional 10% tax penalty may also apply if the Contract Owner is under age 59 1/2. Your Contract may not permit partial exchanges.
Taxation of Ownership Changes. If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration to a person other than your spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Any assignment or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is taxed as a withdrawal of such amount or portion and may also incur the 10% penalty tax.
Aggregation of Annuity Contracts. The Code requires that all non-Qualified deferred annuity contracts issued by Allstate Life (or its affiliates) to the same Contract Owner during any calendar year be aggregated and treated as one annuity contract for purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Generally, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% from all non-annuitized distributions. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made or no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided we will automatically withhold the required 10% of the taxable amount. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax using the wage withholding rates for all annuitized distributions. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold using married with three exemptions as the default. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer provides a taxpayer identification number and has payment made to a U.S. address.
Generally, Code Section 1441 provides that Allstate Life as a withholding agent must withhold 30% of the taxable amounts paid to a non-resident alien. A non-resident alien is someone other than a U.S. citizen or resident alien. We require an original IRS Form W-8(BEN, BEN-E, EXP, ECI,IMY) (Generally a Form W-8BEN is the appropriate form) at issue to certify the owners’ foreign status. Withholding may be reduced or eliminated if covered by an income tax treaty between the U.S. and the non-resident alien’s country of
87
residence if the payee provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number on a fully completed Form W-8(BEN, BEN-E, EXP,ECI,IMY). A U.S. taxpayer identification number is a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”). ITINs are issued by the IRS to non-resident alien individuals who are not eligible to obtain a social security number. The U.S. does not have a tax treaty with all countries nor do all tax treaties provide an exclusion or lower withholding rate for annuities.
TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
The income on tax sheltered annuity (TSA) and IRA investments is tax deferred, and the income from annuities held by such plans does not receive any additional tax deferral. You should review the annuity features, including all benefits and expenses, prior to purchasing an annuity as a TSA or IRA. Tax Qualified Contracts are contracts purchased as or in connection with:
• | Individual Retirement Annuities (IRAs) under Code Section 408(b); |
• | Roth IRAs under Code Section 408A; |
• | Simplified Employee Pension (SEP IRA) under Code Section 408(k); |
• | Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA) under Code Section 408(p); |
• | Tax Sheltered Annuities under Code Section 403(b); |
• | Corporate and Self Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans under Code Section 401; and |
• | State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation Plans under Code Section 457. |
Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the retirement plans listed above or to modify the Contract to conform with tax requirements. If you use the Contract within an employer sponsored qualified retirement plan, the plan may impose different or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waiver of charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if Qualified Plan limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your Qualified Plan administrator for more information. Allstate Life no longer issues deferred annuities to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
The tax rules applicable to participants with tax qualified annuities vary according to the type of contract and the terms and conditions of the endorsement. Adverse tax consequences may result from certain transactions such as excess contributions, premature distributions, and, distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules. Allstate Life can issue an individual retirement annuity on a rollover or transfer of proceeds from a decedent’s IRA, TSA, or employer sponsored retirement plan under which the decedent’s surviving spouse is the beneficiary. Allstate Life does not offer an individual retirement annuity that can accept a transfer of funds for any other, non-spousal, beneficiary of a decedent’s IRA, TSA, or employer sponsored qualified retirement plan. Note that in 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Inherited IRAs, other than IRAs inherited by the owner’s spouse, do not qualify as retirement assets for purposes of protection under the federal bankruptcy laws.
Please refer to your Endorsement for IRAs or 403(b) plans, if applicable, for additional information on your death settlement options. In the case of certain Qualified Plans, the terms of the Qualified Plan Endorsement and the plans may govern the right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
Taxation of Withdrawals from an Individually Owned Tax Qualified Contract. If you make a partial withdrawal under a Tax Qualified Contract other than a Roth IRA, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio to the total payment that the investment in the Contract (i.e., nondeductible IRA contributions) bears to the Contract Value, is excluded from your income. We do not keep track of nondeductible contributions, and generally all tax reporting of distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts other than Roth IRAs will indicate that the distribution is fully taxable.
“Qualified distributions” from Roth IRAs are not included in gross income. “Qualified distributions” are any distributions made more than five taxable years after the taxable year of the first contribution to any Roth IRA and which are:
• | made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2, |
• | made to a beneficiary after the Contract Owner’s death, |
• | attributable to the Contract Owner being disabled, or |
• | made for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a lifetime limit of $10,000). |
“Nonqualified distributions” from Roth IRAs are treated as made from contributions first and are included in gross income only to the extent that distributions exceed contributions.
Required Minimum Distributions. Generally, Tax Qualified Contracts (excluding Roth IRAs) require minimum distributions upon reaching age 70 1/2. Failure to withdraw the required minimum distribution will result in a 50% tax penalty on the shortfall not withdrawn from the Contract. Effective December 31, 2005, the IRS requires annuity contracts to include the actuarial present value of other benefits for purposes of calculating the required minimum distribution amount. These other benefits may include
88
accumulation, income, or death benefits. Not all income plans offered under the Contract satisfy the requirements for minimum distributions. Because these distributions are required under the Code and the method of calculation is complex, please see a competent tax advisor.
The Death Benefit and Tax Qualified Contracts. Pursuant to the Code and IRS regulations, an IRA (e.g., traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA and SIMPLE IRA) may not invest in life insurance contracts. However, an IRA may provide a death benefit that equals the greater of the purchase payments or the Contract Value. The Contract offers a death benefit that in certain circumstances may exceed the greater of the purchase payments or the Contract Value. We believe that the Death Benefits offered by your Contract do not constitute life insurance under these regulations.
It is also possible that certain death benefits that offer enhanced earnings could be characterized as an incidental death benefit. If the death benefit were so characterized, this could result in current taxable income to a Contract Owner. In addition, there are limitations on the amount of incidental death benefits that may be provided under Qualified Plans, such as in connection with a TSA or employer sponsored qualified retirement plan.
Allstate Life reserves the right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the Qualified Plans listed above.
Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable amount of any premature distribution from a Tax Qualified Contract. The penalty tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age 59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
• | made on or after the date the Contract Owner attains age 59 1/2, |
• | made as a result of the Contract Owner’s death or total disability, |
• | made in substantially equal periodic payments (as defined by the Code) over the Contract Owner’s life or life expectancy, or over the joint lives or joint life expectancies of the Contract Owner and the Beneficiary, |
• | made after separation from service after age 55 (does not apply to IRAs), |
• | made pursuant to an IRS levy, |
• | made for certain medical expenses, |
• | made to pay for health insurance premiums while unemployed (applies only for IRAs), |
• | made for qualified higher education expenses (applies only for IRAs) |
• | made for a first time home purchase (up to a $10,000 lifetime limit and applies only for IRAs), and |
• | from an IRA or attributable to elective deferrals under a 401(k) plan, 403(b) annuity, or certain similar arrangements made to individuals who (because of their being members of a reserve component) are ordered or called to active duty after Sept. 11, 2001, for a period of more than 179 days or for an indefinite period; and made during the period beginning on the date of the order or call to duty and ending at the close of the active duty period. |
During the first 2 years of the individual’s participation in a SIMPLE IRA, distributions that are otherwise subject to the premature distribution penalty, will be subject to a 25% penalty tax.
You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine how these exceptions may apply to your situation.
Substantially Equal Periodic Payments on Tax Qualified Contracts. With respect to Tax Qualified Contracts using substantially equal periodic payments as an exception to the penalty tax on premature distributions, any additional withdrawal or other material modification of the payment stream would violate the requirement that payments must be substantially equal. Failure to meet this requirement would mean that the income portion of each payment received prior to the later of 5 years or the taxpayer’s attaining age 59 1/2 would be subject to a 10% penalty tax unless another exception to the penalty tax applied. The tax for the year of the modification is increased by the penalty tax that would have been imposed without the exception, plus interest for the years in which the exception was used. A material modification does not include permitted changes described in published IRS rulings. You should consult a competent tax advisor prior to creating or modifying a substantially equal periodic payment stream.
Income Tax Withholding on Tax Qualified Contracts. Generally, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 10% from all non-annuitized distributions that are not considered “eligible rollover distributions.” The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made or if no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold the required 10% from the taxable amount. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory. Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 20% on all “eligible rollover distributions” unless you elect to make a “direct rollover” of such amounts to an IRA or eligible retirement plan. Eligible rollover distributions generally include all distributions from Tax Qualified Contracts, including TSAs but excluding IRAs, with the exception of:
• | required minimum distributions, or, |
89
• | a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at least 10 years, or, |
• | a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and beneficiary), or, |
• | hardship distributions. |
With respect to any Contract held under a Section 457 plan or by the trustee of a Section 401 Pension or Profit Sharing Plan, we will not issue payments directly to a plan participant or beneficiary. Consequently, the obligation to comply with the withholding requirements described above will be the responsibility of the plan.
For all annuitized distributions that are not subject to the 20% withholding requirement, Allstate Life is required to withhold federal income tax using the wage withholding rates. The customer may elect out of withholding by completing and signing a withholding election form. If no election is made, we will automatically withhold using married with three exemptions as the default. If no U.S. taxpayer identification number is provided, we will automatically withhold using single with zero exemptions as the default. In certain states, if there is federal withholding, then state withholding is also mandatory.
Election out of withholding is valid only if the customer provides a taxpayer identification number and has payment made to a U.S. address.
Generally, Code Section 1441 provides that Allstate Life as a withholding agent must withhold 30% of the taxable amounts paid to a non-resident alien. A non-resident alien is someone other than a U.S. citizen or resident alien. We require an original IRS Form W-8 at issue to certify the owners’ foreign status. Withholding may be reduced or eliminated if covered by an income tax treaty between the U.S. and the non-resident alien’s country of residence if the payee provides a U.S. taxpayer identification number on a fully completed Form W-8(BEN, BEN-E, EXP,ECI,IMY) (Generally a Form W-8BEN is the appropriate form). A U.S. taxpayer identification number is a social security number or an individual taxpayer identification number (“ITIN”). ITINs are issued by the IRS to non-resident alien individuals who are not eligible to obtain a social security number. The U.S. does not have a tax treaty with all countries nor do all tax treaties provide an exclusion or lower withholding rate for annuities.
Charitable IRA Distributions. Certain qualified IRA distributions for charitable purposes are eligible for an exclusion from gross income, up to $100,000 for otherwise taxable IRA distributions from a traditional or Roth IRA. A qualified charitable distribution is a distribution that is made (1) directly by the IRA trustee to certain qualified charitable organizations and (2) on or after the date the IRA owner attains age 70 1/2. Distributions that are excluded from income under this provision are not taken into account in determining the individual’s deductions, if any, for charitable contributions.
The IRS has indicated that an IRA trustee is not responsible for determining whether a distribution to a charity is one that satisfies the requirements of the charitable giving incentive. Consistent with the applicable IRS instructions, we report these distributions as normal IRA distributions on Form 1099-R. Individuals are responsible for reflecting the distributions as charitable IRA distributions on their personal tax returns.
Individual Retirement Annuities. Code Section 408(b) permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA). Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence. Certain distributions from other types of qualified retirement plans may be “rolled over” on a tax-deferred basis into an Individual Retirement Annuity. For IRA rollovers, an individual can only make an IRA to IRA rollover if the individual has not made a rollover involving any IRAs owned by the individual in the prior 12 months. An IRA transfer is a tax-free trustee-to-trustee “transfer” from one IRA account to another. IRA transfers are not subject to this 12-month rule.
Roth Individual Retirement Annuities. Code Section 408A permits eligible individuals to make nondeductible contributions to an individual retirement program known as a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity. Roth Individual Retirement Annuities are subject to limitations on the amount that can be contributed and on the time when distributions may commence.
A traditional Individual Retirement Account or Annuity may be converted or “rolled over” to a Roth Individual Retirement Annuity. The tax law allows distributions from qualified retirement plans including tax sheltered annuities and governmental Section 457 plans to be rolled over directly into a Roth IRA, subject to the usual rules that apply to conversions from a traditional IRA into a Roth IRA. The income portion of a conversion or rollover distribution is taxable currently, but is exempted from the 10% penalty tax on premature distributions. Effective January 1, 2005, the IRS requires conversions of annuity contracts to include the actuarial present value of other benefits for purposes of valuing the taxable amount of the conversion.
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, you may no longer recharacterize a conversion to a Roth IRA. It is still permissible to recharacterize a contribution made to a Roth IRA as a traditional IRA contribution, or a contribution to a traditional IRA as a Roth IRA contribution. Such recharacterization must be completed by the applicable tax return due date (with extensions).
Annuities Held By Individual Retirement Accounts (commonly known as Custodial IRAs). Code Section 408 permits a custodian or trustee of an Individual Retirement Account to purchase an annuity as an investment of the Individual Retirement Account. If an annuity is purchased inside of an Individual Retirement Account, then the Annuitant must be the same person as the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account.
90
If you have a contract issued as an IRA under Code Section 408(b) and request to change the ownership to an IRA custodian permitted under Section 408, we will treat a request to change ownership from an individual to a custodian as an indirect rollover. We will send a Form 1099-R to report the distribution and the custodian should issue a Form 5498 for the contract value contribution.
Generally, the death benefit of an annuity held in an Individual Retirement Account must be paid upon the death of the Annuitant. However, in most states, the Contract permits the custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account to continue the Contract in the accumulation phase, with the Annuitant’s surviving spouse as the new Annuitant, if the following conditions are met:
1) | The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account is the owner of the annuity and has the right to the death proceeds otherwise payable under the Contract; |
2) | The deceased Annuitant was the beneficial owner of the Individual Retirement Account; |
3) | We receive a complete request for settlement for the death of the Annuitant; and |
4) | The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account provides us with a signed certification of the following: |
(a) | The Annuitant’s surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary of the Individual Retirement Account; |
(b) | The Annuitant’s surviving spouse has elected to continue the Individual Retirement Account as his or her own Individual Retirement Account; and |
(c) | The custodian or trustee of the Individual Retirement Account has continued the Individual Retirement Account pursuant to the surviving spouse’s election. |
Simplified Employee Pension IRA (SEP IRA). Code Section 408(k) allows eligible employers to establish simplified employee pension plans for their employees using individual retirement annuities. These employers may, within specified limits, make deductible contributions on behalf of the employees to the individual retirement annuities. Employers intending to use the Contract in connection with such plans should seek competent tax advice.
Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE IRA). Code Section 408(p) allows eligible employers with 100 or fewer employees to establish SIMPLE retirement plans for their employees using individual retirement annuities. In general, a SIMPLE IRA consists of a salary deferral program for eligible employees and matching or nonelective contributions made by employers. Employers intending to purchase the Contract as a SIMPLE IRA should seek competent tax and legal advice. SIMPLE IRA plans must include the provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2007 (EGTRRA) to avoid adverse tax consequences. If your current SIMPLE IRA plan uses IRS Model Form 5304-SIMPLE with a revision date of March 2012 or later, then your plan is up to date. If your plan has a revision date prior to March 2012, please consult with your tax or legal advisor to determine the action you need to take in order to comply with this requirement.
To determine if you are eligible to contribute to any of the above listed IRAs (traditional, Roth, SEP, or SIMPLE), please refer to IRS Publication 590-A and your competent tax advisor.
Tax Sheltered Annuities. Code Section 403(b) provides tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and educational organizations. Under Section 403(b), any contract used for a 403(b) plan must provide that distributions attributable to salary reduction contributions made after 12/31/88, and all earnings on salary reduction contributions, may be made only on or after the date the employee:
• | attains age 59 1/2, |
• | severs employment, |
• | dies, |
• | becomes disabled, or |
• | incurs a hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be distributed on account of hardship). |
These limitations do not apply to withdrawals where Allstate Life is directed to transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan. Generally, we do not accept funds in 403(b) contracts that are subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
Caution: Under IRS regulations we can accept contributions, transfers and rollovers only if we have entered into an information-sharing agreement, or its functional equivalent, with the applicable employer or its plan administrator. Unless your contract is grandfathered from certain provisions in these regulations, we will only process certain transactions (e.g., transfers, withdrawals, hardship distributions and, if applicable, loans) with employer approval. This means that if you request one of these transactions we will not consider your request to be in good order, and will not therefore process the transaction, until we receive the employer’s approval in written or electronic form.

Corporate and Self-Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans.
Section 401(a) of the Code permits corporate employers to establish various types of tax favored retirement plans for employees. Self-employed individuals may establish tax favored retirement plans for themselves and their employees (commonly referred to as “H.R.10” or “Keogh”). Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of annuity contracts. Allstate Life no longer issues annuity contracts to employer sponsored qualified retirement plans.
There are two owner types for contracts intended to qualify under Section 401(a): a qualified plan fiduciary or an annuitant owner.
• | A qualified plan fiduciary exists when a qualified plan trust that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code is the owner. The qualified plan trust must have its own tax identification number and a named trustee acting as a fiduciary on behalf of the plan. The annuitant should be the person for whose benefit the contract was purchased. |
• | An annuitant owner exists when the tax identification number of the owner and annuitant are the same, or the annuity contract is not owned by a qualified plan trust. The annuitant should be the person for whose benefit the contract was purchased. |
If a qualified plan fiduciary is the owner of the contract, the qualified plan must be the beneficiary so that death benefits from the annuity are distributed in accordance with the terms of the qualified plan. Annuitant owned contracts require that the beneficiary be the annuitant’s spouse (if applicable), which is consistent with the required IRS language for qualified plans under Section 401(a). A completed Annuitant Owned Qualified Plan Designation of Beneficiary form is required in order to change the beneficiary of an annuitant owned Qualified Plan contract.
State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457 of the Code permits employees of state and local governments and tax-exempt organizations to defer a portion of their compensation without paying current taxes. The employees must be participants in an eligible deferred compensation plan. In eligible governmental plans, all assets and income must be held in a trust/ custodial account/annuity contract for the exclusive benefit of the participants and their beneficiaries. To the extent the Contracts are used in connection with a non-governmental eligible plan, employees are considered general creditors of the employer and the employer as owner of the Contract has the sole right to the proceeds of the Contract. Under eligible 457 plans, contributions made for the benefit of the employees will not be includible in the employees’ gross income until distributed from the plan. Allstate Life no longer issues annuity contracts to 457 plans.
Late Rollover Self-Certification. You may be able to apply a rollover contribution to your IRA or qualified retirement plan after the 60-day deadline through a self-certification procedure established by the IRS. Please consult your tax or legal adviser regarding your eligibility to use this self-certification procedure. As indicated in this IRS guidance, we, as a financial institution, are not required to accept your self-certification for waiver of the 60-day deadline.
ERISA Requirements
ERISA (the “Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974”) and the Code prevent a fiduciary and other “parties in interest” with respect to a plan (and, for these purposes, an IRA would also constitute a “plan”) from receiving any benefit from any party dealing with the plan, as a result of the sale of the Annuity. Administrative exemptions under ERISA generally permit the sale of insurance/annuity products to plans, provided that certain information is disclosed to the person purchasing the Annuity. This information has to do primarily with the fees, charges, discounts and other costs related to the Annuity, as well as any commissions paid to any agent selling the Annuity. Information about any applicable fees, charges, discounts, penalties or adjustments may be found in the applicable sections of this prospectus. Information about sales representatives and commissions may be found in the sections of this prospectus addressing distribution of the Annuities.
Other relevant information required by the exemptions is contained in the contract and accompanying documentation.
Please consult with your tax adviser if you have any questions about ERISA and these disclosure requirements.
Spousal Consent Rules for Retirement Plans - Qualified Annuities
If you are married at the time your payments commence, you may be required by federal law to choose an income option that provides survivor annuity income to your spouse, unless your spouse waives that right. Similarly, if you are married at the time of your death, federal law may require all or a portion of the Death Benefit to be paid to your spouse, even if you designated someone else as your Beneficiary. A brief explanation of the applicable rules follows. For more information, consult the terms of your retirement arrangement.
Defined Benefit Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans. If you are married at the time your payments commence, federal law requires that benefits be paid to you in the form of a “qualified joint and survivor annuity” (QJSA), unless you and your spouse waive that right, in writing. Generally, this means that you will receive a reduced payment during your life and, upon your death, your spouse will receive at least one-half of what you were receiving for life. You may elect to receive another income option if your spouse consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QJSA. If your spouse consents to the alternative form of payment, your spouse may not receive any benefits from the plan upon your death. Federal law also requires that the plan pay a Death Benefit to your spouse if you are married and die before you begin receiving your benefit. This benefit must be available in the form of an Annuity for your spouse’s lifetime and is called a “qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity” (QPSA). If the plan pays Death Benefits to other Beneficiaries, you may elect to have a Beneficiary other than your spouse receive the Death Benefit, but only if your spouse
92
consents to the election and waives his or her right to receive the QPSA. If your spouse consents to the alternate Beneficiary, your spouse will receive no benefits from the plan upon your death. Any QPSA waiver prior to your attaining age 35 will become null and void on the first day of the calendar year in which you attain age 35, if still employed.
Defined Contribution Plans (including 401(k) Plans and ERISA 403(b) Annuities). Spousal consent to a distribution is generally not required. Upon your death, your spouse will receive the entire Death Benefit, even if you designated someone else as your Beneficiary, unless your spouse consents in writing to waive this right. Also, if you are married and elect an Annuity as a periodic income option, federal law requires that you receive a QJSA (as described above), unless you and your spouse consent to waive this right.
IRAs, non-ERISA 403(b) Annuities, and 457 Plans. Spousal consent to a distribution usually is not required. Upon your death, any Death Benefit will be paid to your designated Beneficiary.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Reporting and Withholding for Escheated Amounts
In 2018, the Internal Revenue Service issued Revenue Ruling 2018-17, which provides that an amount transferred from an IRA to a state’s unclaimed property fund is subject to federal withholding at the time of transfer. The amount transferred is also subject to federal reporting. Consistent with this Ruling, beginning in 2019, we will withhold federal and state income taxes and report to the applicable Owner or Beneficiary as required by law when amounts are transferred to a state’s unclaimed property fund.
Gifts and Generation-skipping Transfers
If you transfer your Annuity to another person for less than adequate consideration, there may be gift tax consequences in addition to income tax consequences. Also, if you transfer your Annuity to a person two or more generations younger than you (such as a grandchild or grandniece) or to a person that is more than 37½ years younger than you, there may be generation-skipping transfer tax consequences.
Same Sex Marriages, Civil Unions and Domestic Partnerships
Prior to a 2013 Supreme Court decision, and consistent with Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same sex marriages under state law were not recognized as same sex marriages for purposes of federal law. However, in United States v. Windsor, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Section 3 of DOMA as unconstitutional, thereby recognizing a valid same sex marriage for federal law purposes. On June 26, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled in Obergefell v. Hodges that same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry, thus requiring all states to allow same-sex marriage. The Windsor and Obergefell decisions mean that the federal and state tax law provisions applicable to an opposite sex spouse will also apply to a same sex spouse. Please note that a civil union or registered domestic partnership is generally not recognized as a marriage.
Please consult with your tax or legal adviser for additional information.

Appendix B – Market Value Adjustment
The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:
I | = | the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the term length of the Guarantee Period Account for the week preceding the establishment of the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account; |
J | = | the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the term length of the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account for the week preceding the date amounts are transferred or withdrawn from the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account, the date we determine the Death Proceeds, or the Payout Start Date, as the case may be (“Market Value Adjustment Date”). |
N | = | the number of whole and partial years from the Market Value Adjustment Date to the expiration of the term length of the Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account. |
Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15. If such yields cease to be available in Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release H.15, then we will use an alternate source for such information in our discretion.
The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:
.9 × [I-(J + .0025)] × N
The denominator of the MVA formula includes a factor, currently equal to 0.0025 or 25 basis points. The factor is an adjustment that is applied when an MVA is assessed (regardless of whether the MVA is positive or negative) and, relative to when no factor is applied, will reduce the amount being surrendered or transferred from the MVA Fixed Guarantee Period Account.
To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value Adjustment factor by the amount transferred, withdrawn, paid as Death Proceeds, or applied to an Income Plan from a Market Value Adjusted Fixed Guarantee Period Account at any time other than during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period Account expires. NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.
Examples Of Market Value Adjustment | |

Appendix C
Example of Calculation of Income Protection Benefit
Appendix C illustrates how we calculate the amount guaranteed under the Income Protection Benefit Option. Please remember that you are looking at an example only. Please also remember that the Income Protection Benefit Option may only be added to Income Plans 1 and/or 2, and only to those Income Plans for which you have selected variable income payments.
To illustrate the calculation of the amount guaranteed under the Income Protection Benefit Option, we assume the following:
Adjusted age of Annuitant on the Payout Start Date: | 65 |
Sex of Annuitant: | male |
Income Plan selected: | 1 |
Payment frequency: | monthly |
Amount applied to variable income payments under the Income Plan: | $100,000.00 |
The example assumes that the withdrawal charge period has expired for all purchase payments. In accordance with the terms of the Contract, the following additional assumptions apply:
Assumed investment rate: | 3% |
Guaranteed minimum variable income payment: | 85% of the initial variable amount income value |
Step 1 – Calculation of the initial variable amount income value:
Using the assumptions stated above, the initial monthly income payment is $5.49 per $1,000 applied to variable income payments under Income Plan 1. Therefore, the initial variable amount income value = $100,000 X $5.49/1000 = $549.00.
Step 2 – Calculation of the amount guaranteed under the Income Protection Benefit Option:
guaranteed minimum variable income payment = 85% X initial variable amount income value = 85% X $549.00 = $466.65.
Step 3 – Illustration of the effect of the minimum payment guarantee under the Income Protection Benefit Option:
If in any month your variable income payments would fall below the amount guaranteed under the Income Protection Benefit Option, your payment for that month will equal the guaranteed minimum variable income payment. For example, you would receive $466.65 even if the amount of your monthly income payment would have been less than that as a result of declining investment experience. On the other hand, if your monthly income payment is greater than the minimum guaranteed $466.65, you would receive the greater amount.

Actual income benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract. Please remember that you are looking at an example and that your investment performance may be greater or lower than the figures shown. |
** | In certain states, the Roll-Up Value Income Benefit accumulates interest on a daily basis at a rate equivalent to 3% per year rather than 5%. If calculations assumed an interest rate of 3% per year, the adjusted income benefit would be lower. |

Please remember that you are looking at an example and that your investment performance may be greater or lower than the figures shown. |
** | Calculations for the Enhanced Beneficiary Protection (Annual Increase) Benefit assumed that interest accumulates on a daily basis at a rate equivalent to 5% per year. In certain states, the benefit provides for interest that accumulates at a rate of 3% per year. If calculations assumed an interest rate of 3% per year, the adjusted death benefit would be lower. |

Appendix F
Calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit*
The following are examples of the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option. For illustrative purposes, the examples assume Earnings in each case. Please remember that you are looking at examples and that your investment performance may be greater or lower than the figures shown.
Example 1: Elected When Contract Was Issued Without Any Subsequent Additions or Withdrawals
In this example, assume that the oldest Contract Owner is age 55 on the Rider Application Date and elects the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option when the Contract is issued. The Contract Owner makes an initial purchase payment of $100,000. After four years, the Contract Owner dies. On the date Allstate Life receives a Complete Request for Settlement, the Contract Value is $125,000. Prior to his death, the Contract Owner did not make any additional purchase payments or take any withdrawals.
Excess of Earnings Withdrawals | = | $0 |
Purchase Payments in the 12 months prior to death | = | $0 |
In-Force Premium | = | $100,000 ($100,000+ $0 - $0) |
In-Force Earnings | = | $25,000 ($125,000- $100,000) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit** | = | 40% * $25,000 = $10,000 |
Since 40% of In-Force Earnings is less than 100% of the In-Force Premium (excluding purchase payments in the 12 months prior to death), the In-Force Earnings are used to compute the Earnings Protection Death Benefit amount.
* | For purposes of illustrating the calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values for all Contracts, net of applicable fees and charges. Actual death benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract. |
** | If the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant had been over age 70, and both were age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit would be 25% of the In-Force Earnings ($6,250.00). |
Example 2: Elected When Contract Was Issued With Subsequent Withdrawals
In this example, assume the same facts as above, except that the Contract Owner has taken a withdrawal of $10,000 during the second year of the Contract. Immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Contract Value is $105,000. Here, $5,000 of the withdrawal is in excess of the In-Force Earnings at the time of the withdrawal. The Contract Value on the date Allstate Life receives a Complete Request for Settlement will be assumed to be $114,000.
Excess of Earnings Withdrawals | = | $5,000 ($10,000-$5,000) |
Purchase Payments in the 12 months prior to death | = | $0 |
In-Force Premium | = | $95,000 ($100,000+$0-$5,000) |
In-Force Earnings | = | $19,000 ($114,000-$95,000) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit** | = | 40%*$19,000=$7,600 |
Since 40% of In-Force Earnings is less than 100% of the In-Force Premium (excluding purchase payments in the 12 months prior to death), the In-Force Earnings are used to compute the Earnings Protection Death Benefit amount.
* | For purposes of illustrating the calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values for all Contracts, net of applicable fees and charges. Actual death benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract. |
** | If the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant had been over age 70, and both were age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit would be 25% of the In-Force Earnings ($4,750.00). |
Example 3: Elected After Contract Was Issued With Subsequent Additions and Withdrawals
This example is intended to illustrate the effect of adding the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option after the Contract has been issued and the effect of later purchase payments. In this example, assume that the oldest Contract Owner is age 72 on the Rider Application Date. At the time the Contract is issued, the Contract Owner makes a purchase payment of $100,000. After two years pass, the Contract Owner elects to add the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option. On the date this Rider is added, the Contract Value is $110,000. Two years later, the Contract Owner withdraws $50,000. Immediately prior to the withdrawal, the Contract Value is $130,000. Another two years later, the Contract Owner makes an additional purchase payment of $40,000. Immediately after the
F-1
additional purchase payment, the Contract Value is $130,000. Two years later, the Contract Owner dies with a Contract Value of $140,000 on the date Allstate Life receives a Complete Request for Settlement.
Excess of Earnings Withdrawals | = | $30,000 ($50,000-$20,000) |
Purchase Payments in the 12 months prior to death | = | $0 |
In-Force Premium | = | $120,000 ($110,000+$40,000-$30,000) |
In-Force Earnings | = | $20,000 ($140,000-$120,000) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit** | = | 25%*$20,000=$5,000 |
In this example, In-Force Premium is equal to the Contract Value on Rider Application Date plus the additional purchase payment and minus the Excess-of-Earnings Withdrawal.
Since 25% of In-Force Earnings is less than 50% of the In-Force Premium (excluding purchase payments in the 12 months prior to death ), the In-Force Earnings are used to compute the Earnings Protection Death Benefit amount.
* | For purposes of illustrating the calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values for all Contracts, net of applicable fees and charges. Actual death benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract. |
** | If the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant had been age 70 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit would be 40% of the In-Force Earnings ($8,000.00). |
Example 4: Spousal Continuation
This example is intended to illustrate the effect of a surviving spouse electing to continue the Contract upon the death of the Contract Owner on a Contract with the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option. In this example, assume that the oldest Contract Owner is age 60 at the time the Contract is purchased (with the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option and MAV Death Benefit Option) with a $100,000 purchase payment. Five years later the Contract Owner dies and the surviving spouse elects to continue the Contract. The Contract Value and Maximum Anniversary Value at this time are $150,000 and $160,000, respectively.
Excess of Earnings Withdrawals | = | $0 |
Purchase Payments in the 12 months prior to death | = | $0 |
In-Force Premium | = | $100,000 ($100,000+$0-$0) |
In-Force Earnings | = | $50,000 ($150,000-$100,000) |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit** | = | 40%*$50,000=$20,000 |
Contract Value | = | $150,000 |
Death Benefit | = | $160,000 |
Earnings Protection Death Benefit | = | $20,000 |
Continuing Contract Value | = | $180,000 ($160,000+$20,000) |
Since 40% of In-Force Earnings is less than 100% of the In-Force Premium (excluding purchase payments in the 12 months prior to death), the In-Force Earnings are used to compute the Earnings Protection Death Benefit amount.
Assume the surviving spouse is age 72 when the Contract is continued. At this time, the surviving spouse has the option to continue the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option at an additional mortality and expense risk charge of 0.40% and with an In-Force Premium amount equal to the Contract Value and the Rider Date reset to the date the Contract is continued. If this selection is made, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit will be equal to the lesser of 25% of the In-Force Earnings and 50% of In-Force Premium. Otherwise, the surviving spouse may elect to terminate the Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option at the time of continuation.
* | For purposes of illustrating the calculation of Earnings Protection Death Benefit Option, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values and Maximum Anniversary Values for all Contracts, net of applicable fees and charges. Actual death benefit amounts will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract. |
** | If the oldest Contract Owner or Annuitant had been over age 70, and both were age 79 or younger on the Rider Application Date, the Earnings Protection Death Benefit would be 25% of the In-Force Earnings ($12,500.00). |

Date | Type of Occurrence | Beginning Contract Value | Transaction Amount | Contract Value After Occurrence | Benefit Base | ||||||||
1/2/2008 | Contract Anniversary | $ | 55,000 | — | $ | 55,000 | $ | 50,000 | |||||
7/2/2008 | Partial Withdrawal | $ | 60,000 | $ | 15,000 | $ | 45,000 | $ | 37,500 |
The following shows how we compute the adjusted Benefit Bases in the example above. Please note the withdrawal reduces the Benefit Bases by the same proportion as the withdrawal reduces the Contract Value.
Benefit Base | ||||
Partial Withdrawal Amount | (a) | $ | 15,000 | |
Contract Value Immediately Prior to Partial Withdrawal | (b) | $ | 60,000 | |
Value of Benefit Base Amount Immediately Prior to Partial Withdrawal | (c) | $ | 50,000 | |
Withdrawal Adjustment | [(a)/(b)]*(c) | $ | 12,500 | |
Adjusted Benefit Base | $ | 37,500 |
* For purpose of illustrating the withdrawal adjustment calculation, the example assumes the same hypothetical Contract Values, net of applicable fees and charges for all Contracts. Actual Contract Values will differ due to the different fees and charges under each Contract. Please remember that you are looking at an example and that your investment performance may be greater or lower than the figures shown.

Appendix H – SureIncome Withdrawal Benefit Option
Calculation Examples
Calculation Examples
Example 1: Assume you purchase an Allstate Variable Annuity contract with a $100,000 initial purchase payment and add the SureIncome Option at issue.
Your Benefit Base is $100,000, which is your initial purchase payment of $100,000. Your Benefit Payment is $8,000, which is 8% of your initial purchase payment. Your Benefit Payment Remaining for this Benefit Year is $8,000, which is equal to your Benefit Payment at the beginning of this Benefit Year.
Example 2: Assume Example 1 is continued and an additional purchase payment of $40,000 is made in the first Benefit Year.
The Benefit Base is increased to $140,000, which is your prior Benefit Base ($100,000) plus your additional purchase payment ($40,000). The Benefit Payment is increased to $11,200, which is your prior Benefit Payment ($8,000) plus 8% of your additional purchase payment ($40,000). The Benefit Payment Remaining is increased to $11,200, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your additional purchase payment ($8,000) plus 8% of your additional purchase payment ($40,000).
Example 3: Assume Example 1 is continued and a withdrawal of $8,000 is made during the first Benefit Year.
The Benefit Base is reduced to $92,000, which is your prior Benefit Base ($100,000) less your withdrawal ($8,000). The Benefit Payment is unchanged and remains $8,000. The Benefit Payment Remaining in the first Benefit Year is $0, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your withdrawal ($8,000) less your withdrawal ($8,000).
Example 4: Assume example 1 is continued and a withdrawal of $25,000 is made during the first Benefit Year. Assume the Contract Value prior to the withdrawal was $130,000. Because the $25,000 withdrawal is larger than the Benefit Payment Remaining, the Benefit Base and Benefit Payment will be recalculated according to applicable formulas.
The Benefit Base is reduced to $75,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($130,000 – $25,000) and ($100,000 – $25,000) = $75,000. The Benefit Payment remains $8,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($8,000) and (8% x ($130,000 – $25,000)) = $8,000. There is no Benefit Payment Remaining because the withdrawal has reduced it to $0.
Example 5: Assume example 3 is continued and an additional withdrawal of $5,000 is taken in the same year (the first Benefit Year). Assume the Contract Value prior to the additional withdrawal was $60,000. Because the $5,000 withdrawal is larger than the Benefit Payment Remaining ($0), the Benefit Base and Benefit Payment will be recalculated according to applicable formulas.
The Benefit Base is reduced to $55,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($60,000 – $5,000) and ($92,000 – $5,000) = $55,000. The Benefit Payment is reduced to $4,400, determined by the following formula: the lesser of ($8,000) and ((8% x ($60,000 – $5,000)) = $4,400. The Benefit Payment Remaining is unchanged at $0.
Example 6: Assume example 5 is continued and an additional Purchase Payment of 40,000 is made in the same year (the first Benefit Year).
The Benefit Base is increased to $95,000, which is your prior Benefit Base ($55,000) plus your additional purchase payment ($40,000). The Benefit Payment is increased to $7,600, which is your prior Benefit Payment ($4,400) plus 8% of your additional purchase payment ($40,000). The Benefit Payment Remaining is increased to $3,200, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your additional purchase payment ($0) plus 8% of your additional purchase payment ($40,000).
Example 7: Assume example 6 is continued and an additional withdrawal of $3,200 is taken in the same year (the first Benefit Year).
The Benefit Base is reduced to $91,800, which is your prior Benefit Base ($95,000) less your withdrawal ($3,200). The Benefit Payment is unchanged and remains $7,600. The Benefit Payment Remaining is reduced to $0, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your withdrawal ($3,200) less your withdrawal ($3,200).

The Benefit Payment remains $8,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($8,000) and (8% × ($130,000 – $25,000)) = $8,000
There is no Benefit Payment Remaining because the withdrawal has reduced it to $0.
Example 5: Assume Example 3 is continued and an additional withdrawal of $5,000 is taken in the same year (the first Benefit Year). Assume the Contract Value prior to the additional withdrawal was $60,000.

Appendix J – SureIncome For Life Withdrawal Benefit
Option Calculation Examples
Example 1: Assume you purchase an Allstate Variable Annuity contract with $100,000 initial purchase payment, are attained age 55 at issue, and add the SureIncome For Life Option at issue (you are the SureIncome Covered Life).
Your Benefit Base is $100,000, which is your initial purchase payment of $100,000.
Your SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is $100,000, which is your initial purchase payment of $100,000.
Your Benefit Payment is $4,000, which is 4% of your initial purchase payment.
Your Benefit Payment Remaining for this Benefit Year is $4,000, which is equal to your Benefit Payment at the beginning of this Benefit Year.
Note: The Benefit Payment remains $4,000 until you turn age 60 (as long as the Contract Value on any of the prior Contract Anniversaries have not caused any of the guarantees under the Option to be updated). At that point, if no withdrawals have been taken, your Benefit Payment & Benefit Payment Remaining are updated to 5% x current Benefit Base ($5,000 = 5% × $100,000, assuming your Benefit Base is still $100,000).
Example 2: Assume Example 1 is continued and an additional purchase payment of $40,000 is made in the first Benefit Year.
The Benefit Base is increased to $140,000, which is your prior Benefit Base ($100,000) plus your additional purchase payment ($40,000).

Note: The Benefit Payment remains $5,600 until you turn age 60 (for the purposes of this example it is assumed the maximum anniversary value on any of the prior Contract Anniversaries has not increased the Benefit Payment). At that point, if no withdrawals have been taken, your Benefit Payment & Benefit Payment Remaining are updated to 5% x current Benefit Base ($7,000 = 5% × $140,000, assuming your Benefit Base is still $140,000).
Example 3a: Assume Example 1 is continued and the first withdrawal, equal to $4,000, is made during the first Benefit Year.

The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is reduced to $95,000, which is your prior SureIncome ROP Death Benefit ($100,000) less your withdrawal ($5,000).
Because the first withdrawal occurs at attained age 60, the Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining prior to the withdrawal are updated to 5% x current Benefit Base (5% × $100,000 = $5,000).
The Benefit Payment remains $5,000 after withdrawal.
The Benefit Payment Remaining in the first Benefit Year is $0, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your withdrawal ($5,000) less your withdrawal ($5,000).

The Benefit Payment remains $6,000 after withdrawal.
The Benefit Payment Remaining in the first Benefit Year is $0, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your withdrawal ($6,000) less your withdrawal ($6,000).
Note: The Withdrawal Benefit Factor is locked at 6% because the age at first withdrawal is age 70.
Example 4a: Assume Example 1 is continued and a withdrawal of $25,000 is made during the first Benefit Year. Assume the Contract Value prior to the withdrawal was $130,000. Because the $25,000 withdrawal is larger than the Benefit Payment Remaining, the Benefit Base, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit and Benefit Payment will be recalculated according to applicable formulas.
The Benefit Base is reduced to $75,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($130,000 – $25,000) and ($100,000 – $25,000) = $75,000.

The Benefit Payment is reduced to $3,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($4,000) and (4% × $75,000) = $3,000.
There is no Benefit Payment Remaining because the withdrawal has reduced it to $0.
Note: The Withdrawal Benefit Factor is locked at 4% because the age at first withdrawal is age 55.
Example 4b: Assume Example 1 is continued and a withdrawal of $25,000 is made during the sixth Benefit Year (assume the Contract Values have not increased any SureIncome For Life Option guarantees on any prior Contract Anniversaries). Assume the Contract Value prior to the withdrawal was $130,000. Because the $25,000 withdrawal is larger than the Benefit Payment Remaining, the Benefit Base, the SureIncome ROP Death Benefit and Benefit Payment will be recalculated according to applicable formulas.
The Benefit Base is reduced to $75,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($130,000 – $25,000) and ($100,000 – $25,000) = $75,000.
The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is reduced to $75,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($130,000 – $25,000) and ($100,000 – $25,000) = $75,000.
Because the first withdrawal occurs at attained age 60, the Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining prior to the withdrawal are updated to 5% X current Benefit Base prior to the withdrawal (5% × $100,000 = $5,000).
The Benefit Payment is reduced to $3,750, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($5,000) and (5% × $75,000) = $3,750.
There is no Benefit Payment Remaining because the withdrawal has reduced it to $0.
Note: The Withdrawal Benefit Factor is locked at 5% because the age at first withdrawal is age 60.
Example 5: Assume Example 3a is continued and an additional withdrawal of $5,000 is taken in the same year (the first Benefit Year). Assume the Contract Value prior to the additional withdrawal was $60,000. Because the $5,000 withdrawal is larger than the Benefit Payment Remaining ($0), the Benefit Base and Benefit Payment will be recalculated according to applicable formulas.
The Benefit Base is reduced to $55,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($60,000 – $5,000) and ($96,000 – $5,000) = $55,000.
The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is reduced to $55,000, determined by the following calculation: the lesser of ($60,000 – $5,000) and ($96,000 – $5,000) = $55,000.
The Benefit Payment is reduced to $2,200, determined by the following formula: the lesser of ($4,000) and (4% × $55,000) = $2,200.

Example 6: Assume Example 5 is continued and an additional Purchase Payment of 40,000 is made in the same year (the first Benefit Year).
The Benefit Base is increased to $95,000, which is your prior Benefit Base ($55,000) plus your additional purchase payment ($40,000).
The SureIncome ROP Death Benefit is increased to $95,000, which is your prior SureIncome ROP Death Benefit ($55,000) plus your additional purchase payment ($40,000).

The Benefit Payment Remaining is reduced to $0, which is your Benefit Payment Remaining prior to your withdrawal ($1,600) less your withdrawal ($1,600).
Example 8: Assume Example 1 is continued and on the first Contract Anniversary the Contract Value prior to deduction of annual fees is $160,000.
The SureIncome For Life Option Fee is $650, which is 0.65% × the Benefit Base ($100,000) prior to updating the Benefit Base based on the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary.
The final Contract Value is $159,350, which the Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary after deduction of annual fees (assume SureIncome For Life Option Fee is the only annual fee applicable).
The Benefit Base is increased to $159,350, which is the greater of your current Benefit Base ($100,000) and the final Contract Value on the Contract Anniversary ($159,350).

The Benefit Payment Remaining is updated to $6,374, which is the Benefit Payment on the Contract Anniversary.
Note: The Benefit Payment remains $6,374 until you turn age 60 (for the purposes of this example it is assumed the maximum anniversary value on any of the prior Contract Anniversaries has not increased the Benefit Payment). At that point, if no withdrawals have been taken, your Benefit Payment and Benefit Payment Remaining are updated to 5% × current Benefit Base ($7,967.50 = 5% × $159,350, assuming your Benefit Base is still $159,350).
