Dear Shareholder:

You are receiving the enclosed Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement because you owned interests in the Small Cap Value Fund, the Capital Appreciation Fund, the Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, the Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund, the Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund, the International Opportunities Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Mid Cap Value Fund and/or the U.S. Socially Responsible Fund, each a series of VALIC Company II (“VC II”) (each, a “Target Fund” and collectively, the “Target Funds”), as of the close of business on February 26, 2021. If you are an owner of a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract or certificate issued by The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”) or other affiliated life insurance company, you have the right to instruct VALIC or such affiliated life insurance company how to vote shares of your Target Fund at a joint special meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time (the “Special Meeting”). Shareholders of Target Funds who invest through a qualified retirement plan or an individual retirement account may have the right to vote or give voting instructions depending on the terms of the plan or individual retirement account custodial or other agreement. Due to concerns regarding the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the Special Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the Special Meeting in person, but you will be able to view the Special Meeting live and cast your vote(s) by accessing an event link.

We are asking for your vote to approve a proposed reorganization of your Target Fund into a corresponding mutual fund advised by VALIC, each a newly created series of VALIC Company I (“VC I”), as set out in the following table under the heading “Acquiring Funds” (each, an “Acquiring Fund” and collectively, the “Acquiring Funds”). In this reorganization, your Target Fund shares would be exchanged for the shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund with the same aggregate net asset value of the Target Fund shares that you currently hold. It is currently anticipated that the reorganization of each Target Fund will be effected on a tax-free basis for federal income tax purposes.

Target Funds (each a series of VC II)			Acquiring Funds (each a series of VC I)
Small Cap Value Fund			Small Cap Value Fund
Capital Appreciation Fund			Capital Appreciation Fund
Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund			Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund
Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund
Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund			Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund
International Opportunities Fund			International Opportunities Fund
High Yield Bond Fund			High Yield Bond Fund
Mid Cap Value Fund			Mid Cap Value Fund
U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			U.S. Socially Responsible Fund

The reorganization of each Target Fund is being proposed because VALIC, the investment adviser to each Target Fund and each Acquiring Fund, believes that shareholders of each fund will benefit from the potential operating and administrative efficiencies of consolidating the funds under the same corporate entity.

At a meeting of the Board of Directors of VC I and the Board of Trustees of VC II (the “Boards” and each, a “Board”) held on January 25-26, 2021, VALIC recommended that the Board consider and approve each proposed reorganization. The Board of VC II has determined that the proposed reorganization of each relevant Target Fund with

TABLE OF CONTENTS

its corresponding Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Target Fund and the interests of the Target Fund’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the reorganization, and the Board of VC I has determined that each proposed reorganization is in the best interests of the relevant Acquiring Fund and the interests of the Acquiring Fund’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of each reorganization (noting that each Acquiring Fund has been newly created and has no existing shareholders). If a reorganization is approved by shareholders, it is expected that the proposed reorganization will take effect during the second quarter of 2021. Shareholder approval of one reorganization is not contingent upon shareholder approval of any other reorganization. Included in this booklet is information about the upcoming Special Meeting:

•	A Notice of a Joint Special Meeting of Shareholders, which summarizes the matter on which you are being asked to vote; and

•	The Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, which provides detailed information on the applicable Acquiring Fund, the specific proposal relating to your Target Fund being considered at the Special Meeting, and why the proposal is being made.

The Board of VC II recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposal.

VALIC has also attached a “Questions and Answers” section to assist you in evaluating the proposal. I encourage you to review the enclosed materials carefully. You may vote in one of the following ways:

•	By calling us toll-free at the telephone number listed on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card;

•	By Internet at the website address listed on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card;

•	By returning the enclosed proxy voting card or voting instruction card in the postage-paid envelope; or

•	By participating at the Special Meeting.

As always, we appreciate your support.

			Sincerely,

			/s/ John T. Genoy

			John T. Genoy
			President

Please vote now. Your vote is important.

To avoid the wasteful and unnecessary expense of further solicitation, we urge you to promptly indicate your vote on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card, date and sign it and return it in the envelope provided, or record your voting instructions by telephone or via the Internet, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. If you submit a properly executed proxy card or voting instruction card but do not indicate how you wish your shares to be voted, your shares will be voted “For” the applicable reorganization.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

We recommend that you read the complete Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. For your convenience, we have provided a brief overview of the issue(s) to be voted on.

Q:	Why is a shareholder meeting being held?

You are being asked to approve one or more agreements and plans of reorganization (each, a “Reorganization Agreement”) between VALIC Company II (“VC II”), on behalf of the applicable series set out in the following table under the heading “Target Funds” (each, a “Target Fund” and collectively, the “Target Funds”), and VALIC Company I (“VC I” and together with VC II, the “Companies” and each, a “Company”), on behalf of a corresponding series of VC I, set out in the following table under the heading “Acquiring Funds” (each, an “Acquiring Fund” and collectively, the “Acquiring Funds” and together with the Target Funds, the “Funds” and each, a “Fund”).

Target Funds (each a series of VC II)			Acquiring Funds (each a series of VC I)
Small Cap Value Fund			Small Cap Value Fund
Capital Appreciation Fund			Capital Appreciation Fund
Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund			Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund
Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund
Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund			Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund
International Opportunities Fund			International Opportunities Fund
High Yield Bond Fund			High Yield Bond Fund
Mid Cap Value Fund			Mid Cap Value Fund
U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			U.S. Socially Responsible Fund

If the proposed reorganization (“Reorganization”) relating to your Target Fund is approved and completed, you will then have an investment in the corresponding Acquiring Fund, and your Target Fund will also be terminated as a series of VC II.

The Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement is being furnished to owners of a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract or certificate (a “Contract”) (the “Contract owners”) issued by The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (“VALIC”) or other affiliated life insurance company (together with VALIC, the “Life Companies” and each, a “Life Company”), having Contract values allocated to a subaccount of a separate account (“Separate Account”) invested in shares of a Target Fund as of the close of business on February 26, 2021 (the “Record Date”). Contract owners have a beneficial interest in a Target Fund, but do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Target Fund. The Life Companies, as the shareholders of a Target Fund, have voting rights with respect to the Target Fund shares, but pass through those voting rights to Contract owners. Accordingly, as a Contract owner, you have the right to instruct your Life Company how to vote Target Fund shares attributable to your Contract.

The Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement is also being furnished to custodians/trustees of individual retirement accounts (each, an “IRA”) and plan fiduciaries of or participants in qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans (each, a “Plan”) as of the Record Date. Participants in a Plan and IRA owners may have the right to vote or give voting instructions depending on the terms of the Plan or IRA custodial or other agreement. VALIC will take direction from the applicable Plan or account trustee regarding who (e.g., the Plan or participants) has the right to vote or provide voting instructions.

For convenience, we refer to Contract owners, Plan participants and IRA owners collectively as “shareholders.” Additionally, any reference to Contract owners owning “shares” of a Fund refers to owning accumulation units of the subaccount that invests in such Fund.

Upon approval and completion of the applicable Reorganization, shares of your Target Fund will, in effect, be exchanged for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund based on a specified exchange ratio determined by the respective net asset values of the two Funds’ shares. Your Contract, Plan or IRA will be credited with shares of the Acquiring Fund whose aggregate value at the time of issuance will equal the aggregate value of the Target

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Fund held under your Contract, Plan or IRA on that date. After such date each Target Fund will be terminated as a series of VC II. Please refer to the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement for a detailed explanation of the proposed Reorganization relating to your Target Fund and for a more complete description of the applicable Acquiring Fund.

Q:	How does the Board of Trustees of VC II suggest that I vote?

After careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of VC II (the “Board”) has determined that the applicable Reorganization is in the best interests of the relevant Target Fund and that the Target Fund’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization and, therefore, recommends that you cast your vote “For” the proposed Reorganization. Please see “Reasons for the Reorganizations” in the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement for more detailed information relating to the Board’s considerations.

Q:	How will the Reorganizations affect me?

If shareholders of a Target Fund approve the proposed Reorganization, all of the assets and liabilities of the Target Fund will, in effect, be assumed by the corresponding Acquiring Fund. Shares of the Target Fund will be exchanged for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund based on a specified exchange ratio determined by the respective net asset values of the Funds’ shares. Your Contract, Plan or IRA value immediately before the Reorganization will be the same as your Contract, Plan or IRA value immediately following completion of the Reorganization; however, you will no longer own shares of your Target Fund but will own shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund.

Q:	Will I own the same number of shares of the Acquiring Fund as I currently own of my Target Fund?

A:	Yes. You will receive the same number of shares of the Acquiring Fund with the same aggregate net asset value as the shares of the Target Fund you own prior to the Reorganization relating to your Target Fund. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share or unit held on the Record Date.

Q:	Will my privileges as a shareholder change after the Reorganization?

A:	Your rights as a shareholder will not change in any way as a result of the Reorganization relating to your Target Fund, but you will be a shareholder of the applicable Acquiring Fund, which is a separate series of VC I.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:	Who will advise the Acquiring Fund once the Reorganizations are completed?

As you know, each Target Fund is advised by VALIC. Each Acquiring Fund is also advised by VALIC and will continue to be advised by VALIC once the Reorganizations are completed. The subadvisers for each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund are the same and are listed below. It is anticipated that each Acquiring Fund’s subadviser will continue to serve as subadviser to such Acquiring Fund following the completion of the Reorganization.

Target Funds	Acquiring Fund	Subadviser
Small Cap Value Fund	Small Cap Value Fund	J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc.
Capital Appreciation Fund	Capital Appreciation Fund	BMO Asset Management Corp.
Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund	Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund	PineBridge Investments LLC (“PineBridge”)_
Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund	Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund	PineBridge
Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund	Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund	PineBridge
International Opportunities Fund	International Opportunities Fund	Delaware Investments Fund Advisers and Massachusetts Financial Services Company
High Yield Bond Fund	High Yield Bond Fund	Wellington Management Company LLP (“Wellington Management”)
Mid Cap Value Fund	Mid Cap Value Fund	Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. d/b/a Boston Partners and Wellington Management
U.S. Socially Responsible Fund	U.S. Socially Responsible Fund	SunAmerica Asset Management, LLC

Q:	How will the Reorganizations affect Fund expenses?

Following the Reorganizations, a combined fund is expected to have a gross operating expense ratio and a net operating expense ratio (i.e., after contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) that is lower than those of its respective Target Fund prior to the applicable Reorganization. With respect to a Target Fund (other than a Target Lifestyle Fund (as defined below)), the lower net total annual operating expenses will be due in part to the absence of a 0.25% shareholder services fee payable by the combined fund, which is expected to be offset in part by 0.25% higher separate account charges for Contract owners at the Contract level. With respect to each of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, the Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Target Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund (each, a “Target Lifestyle Fund”) the lower net total annual operating expenses will be due in part to a lower acquired fund fees and expenses fee payable by the combined fund, which is expected to be offset in part by 0.10% higher separate account charges for Contract owners at the Contract level. For more detailed information about each Fund’s operating expense ratios, see “Summary—Fees and Expenses” in the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Q:	What happens to my account if the Reorganization is approved?

You will not need to take any further action. If the Reorganization relating to your Target Fund is approved, your shares of the Target Fund automatically will be converted into shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund on the date of the completion of the applicable Reorganization. You will receive written confirmation that this change has taken place. The aggregate net asset value of the shares you receive in the Reorganization relating to your Target Fund will be equal to the aggregate net asset value of the shares you own immediately prior to the Reorganization.

Q:	I have received another combined prospectus/proxy statement from other funds in the VALIC complex. Is this a duplicate combined prospectus/proxy statement?

A:	This is not a duplicate combined prospectus/proxy statement. You are being asked to vote separately for each fund in which you own shares. The proposals included here were not included in any other combined prospectus/proxy statement.

iii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Q:	What happens if a Reorganization is not approved?

If a Reorganization is not approved by shareholders of the relevant Target Fund, the Reorganization for that Target Fund will not occur and the Board may consider alternatives, which may include seeking a merger with a different fund, the liquidation of the Target Fund or continuing current operations of the Target Fund.

Q:	What happens if shareholders of one Target Fund approve their Reorganization, while shareholders of the other Target Fund(s) do not?

Each Reorganization is a separate transaction and is not dependent on the approval of any other Reorganization. Thus, if shareholders of one Target Fund approve the Reorganization relating to their Target Fund, their Target Fund will be reorganized, even if shareholders of any other Target Fund do not approve the Reorganization relating to their Target Fund.

Q:	Will the Reorganization create a taxable event for me?

A:	No, you will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganization.

The portfolio managers of each Acquiring Fund do not anticipate disposing of, or requesting the disposition of, any of the holdings of its corresponding Target Fund in preparation for, or as a result of, the applicable Reorganization, other than in connection with the ordinary course of business. Consequently, minimal transaction costs, if any, are anticipated to be incurred in connection with the Reorganizations.

Q:	Who will pay for the Reorganizations?

Q:	How do I vote my shares?

A:	You can vote by completing the enclosed proxy card, providing voting instructions using the enclosed voting instruction card or by participating virtually at the special meeting, or as described below. Please see “Instructions for Signing Voting Instruction Cards or Proxy Cards” on the next page.

You can authorize a proxy to vote your shares by (1) using the telephone or Internet as described on your proxy card or voting instruction card, or (2) completing and signing the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope, or you can vote during the special meeting by following the instructions that will be available on the special meeting website during the special meeting.

Due to concerns regarding the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the special meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. Shareholders that owned interests in a Target Fund as of the Record Date may participate in the special meeting by means of remote communication by registering at: https://viewproxy.com/AIG/broadridgevsm4/.

If you owned interests in a Target Fund on the Record Date and wish to attend the special meeting, you must first register with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”), the Target Funds’ proxy solicitor, at https://viewproxy.com/AIG/broadridgevsm4/. You will be required to enter your name, an email address and the control number found on your proxy card or voting instruction card. Requests for registration must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on Monday, May 10, 2021. Once your registration is approved, you will receive an email confirming your registration with an event link and optional dial-in information to attend the special meeting. A separate email will follow containing a password to enter at the event link in order to access the special meeting. You may vote during the special meeting at www.proxyvote.com/. You will need your control number to vote.

For shareholders who own shares through a Contract, no matter how large or small your holdings may be, your vote counts, since the Life Companies will vote Target Fund shares in the same proportions as the instructions received from all Contract owners with assets invested in the Target Fund. Shares for which the Life Companies

TABLE OF CONTENTS

receive no timely voting instructions from a Contract owner will be voted by the Life Companies as for, against, or abstain, in the same proportion as the shares for which voting instructions were received from Contract owners, even if only a small number of Contract owners provide voting instructions. The effect of proportional voting is that if a large number of Contract owners fail to give voting instructions, a small number of Contract owners may determine the outcome of the vote.

Q:	Why are multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards enclosed?

A:	If you are a shareholder of more than one Target Fund, you will receive a proxy card or voting instruction card for each Target Fund.

Q:	When will the Reorganization occur?

A:	If approved by shareholders, each Reorganization is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2021. A Reorganization will not take place if the Reorganization is not approved by the relevant Target Fund’s shareholders.

Q:	How does the Board recommend that I vote?

A:	The Board recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the proposal.

Q:	Whom do I contact if I have questions?

A:	Please call Broadridge, the proxy solicitor, toll-free at 1-833-670-0699 Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time.

To Our Group Deferred Compensation Contract Owners:

As the group contract owner of your deferred compensation plan, you have the option to 1) give voting instructions, or 2) direct us to follow individual participants’ instructions for voting.

•	Should you decide to give voting instructions, please complete the voting instruction section of the enclosed card. We request that you clearly mark your vote for the proposal on the card. We will then disregard any voting instructions received from individual participants within your Contract.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Target Fund	Target Fund Investment Objective	Acquiring Fund	Acquiring Fund Investment Objective
Target High Yield Bond Fund	Seeks the highest possible total return and income consistent with conservation of capital through investment in a diversified portfolio of high yielding, high risk fixed-income securities.	Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund	Same as Target Fund.
Target Mid Cap Value Fund	The Fund seeks capital growth through investment in equity securities of medium capitalization companies using a value-oriented investment approach.	Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund	Same as Target Fund.

If a Target Fund’s shareholders approve the Reorganization relating to their Target Fund, the Target Fund will transfer its assets to the corresponding Acquiring Fund. The Acquiring Fund will assume all of the liabilities of the Target Fund and will issue shares to the Target Fund in an amount equal to the aggregate net asset value of the outstanding shares of the Target Fund. Immediately thereafter, the Target Fund will distribute these shares of the Acquiring Fund to its shareholders. After distributing these shares, the Target Fund will be terminated as a series of VC II. When the Reorganization is complete, the aggregate net asset value of the Acquiring Fund shares received in the Reorganization by Target Fund shareholders will equal the aggregate net asset value of the Target Fund shares held by Target Fund shareholders immediately prior to the Reorganization. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share or unit held on the Record Date.

Each of the Target Funds and Acquiring Funds have substantially identical investment strategies.

Small Cap Value Fund. Each of the Target Small Cap Value Fund and the Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund invest principally in equity securities. Each Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-cap companies. Each Fund considers a company to be a small-cap company if its market capitalization, at time of purchase, is equal to or less than the largest company in the Russell 2000^® Index during the most recent 12-month period. Each Fund uses a value-oriented approach. Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its respective assets in foreign issues. Both Funds are diversified.

Capital Appreciation Fund. Each of the Target Capital Appreciation Fund and the Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund invest principally in equity securities. Each Fund invests in equity securities of large-sized U.S. companies similar in size, at the time of purchase, to those within the Russell 1000^® Growth Index. BMO Asset Management selects stocks using a unique growth-oriented approach for each Fund, focusing on high quality companies with

sustainable earnings growth that are available at reasonable prices, which combines the use of proprietary analytical tools and the qualitative judgments of the investment team. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in the equity securities of foreign issuers. Both Funds are diversified.

Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund. Each of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund is a fund of funds. The Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund allocates assets among a combination of VC I and VC II underlying funds (the “Target Underlying Funds”) and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund allocates assets among a combination of VC I underlying funds (the “Acquiring Underlying Funds”) that, in turn, invest directly in a wide range of portfolio securities (like stocks and bonds). Each of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Target Underlying Funds and Acquiring Underlying Funds, respectively. Generally, each of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund invests a larger portion of its assets in Target Underlying Funds and Acquiring Underlying Funds, as applicable, that invest in securities with a greater opportunity for capital growth, such as stocks, and generally has a higher level of risk than the VC II Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the VC II Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund or the VC I Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the VC I Conservative Lifestyle Fund, respectively. Each Fund’s indirect holdings are primarily in equity securities of domestic and foreign companies of any market capitalization, and fixed-income securities of domestic issuers. A portion of each Fund’s indirect holdings may also include fixed-income securities of foreign issuers, real estate and real estate related securities, and money market securities. Each Fund’s indirect holdings in fixed-income securities may include high yielding, high risk fixed-income securities (often referred to as “junk bonds”). Both Funds are diversified.

Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund. Each of the Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund is a fund of funds that allocates assets among a combination of Target Underlying Funds and Acquiring Underlying Funds, respectively, that, in turn, invest directly in a wide range of portfolio securities (like stocks and bonds). Each of the Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Target Underlying Funds and the Acquiring Underlying Funds, respectively. Each Fund invests its assets in Target Underlying Funds or Acquiring Underlying Funds, as applicable, that invest in securities that seek growth of capital, such as stocks, and securities that generate current income, such as bonds and U.S. government-issued securities. Each of the Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund generally has a lower level of risk than the VC II Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund or the VC I Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, respectively, but a greater level of risk than the VC II Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund or VC I Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund, respectively. Each Fund’s indirect holdings are primarily domestic and foreign fixed-income and equity securities of domestic large-cap companies. Each Fund’s indirect holdings may also include foreign and domestic equity securities of medium- and small-cap companies, lower rated fixed-income securities, real estate and real estate related securities, and money market securities. Both Funds are diversified.

Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund. Each of the Target Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund is a fund of funds that allocates assets among a combination of Target Underlying Funds and Acquiring Underlying Funds, respectively, that, in turn, invest directly in a wide range of portfolio securities (like stocks and bonds). Each of the Target Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund invests a larger portion of its respective assets in Target Underlying Funds and Acquiring Underlying Funds, respectively, that invest in securities that generate current income, and generally has a lower risk level than the VC II Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund or the VC I Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, respectively, and VC II Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and VC I Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund, respectively. Each Fund’s indirect holdings are primarily in fixed-income securities of domestic and foreign issuers and in equity securities of domestic companies. The Target Underlying Funds and the Acquiring Underlying Funds also invest, to a limited extent, in equity securities of foreign issuers, lower rated fixed-income securities, real estate and real estate related securities, and money market securities. Both Funds are diversified.

International Opportunities Fund. Each of the Target International Opportunities Fund and the Acquiring International Opportunities Fund invest principally in equity securities and equity-related securities. Each Fund, under normal market conditions, invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities and equity-related securities of small- to mid-cap companies throughout the world, excluding the United States. Each Fund invests primarily in small- to mid-cap companies whose capitalization, at the time of purchase, range from the market capitalization of the smallest company included in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small and Mid-Cap Index (net) (the “Small and Mid-Cap

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Index”) to the market capitalization of the largest company in the Small and Mid-Cap Index during the most recent 12-month period. Each Fund may hold foreign currencies and non-dollar denominated foreign securities. Each Fund invests in depositary receipts, which are instruments that represent an interest in a foreign issuer’s securities. Each Fund’s subadviser will try to select a wide range of industries or companies and may invest in developing or emerging market countries. Both Funds are diversified.

High Yield Bond Fund. Each of the Target High Yield Bond Fund and the Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund invests principally in fixed-income securities. Each Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of the Fund’s net assets in high-yield, below-investment grade fixed-income securities. These securities are rated below Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) or BBB- by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) or determined to be of comparable quality by the Fund’s subadviser. Up to 15% of each Fund’s net assets can be rated below Caa3 by Moody’s or CCC- by S&P or its equivalent rating by another Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization. Each Fund may also invest up to 35% of its net assets in below-investment grade foreign fixed-income securities. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in investment grade fixed-income securities, those rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s and BBB- or higher by S&P. Although each Fund does not routinely invest in equity securities, it may invest in equity securities from time-to-time up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets. The subadviser analyzes macroeconomic trends to develop an overall picture of a country, market, or market segment and combines that analysis with research on individual securities to achieve each Fund’s objective. Both Funds are diversified.

Mid Cap Value Fund. Each of the Target Mid Cap Value Fund and the Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund invests primarily in equity securities. Each Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets in equity securities of mid-cap companies. For each Fund, mid-cap companies generally include companies whose market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, range from the market capitalization of the smallest company included in the Russell Midcap^® Index to the market capitalization of the largest company in the Russell Midcap^® Index during the most recent 12-month period. Each Fund’s subadvisers use value-oriented investment approaches to identify companies in which to invest the respective Fund’s assets. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities. Both Funds are diversified.

U.S. Socially Responsible Fund. Each of the Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund and the Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund invests principally in equity securities. Each Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of U.S. companies meeting the Fund’s social criteria. To determine which companies meet each Fund’s social criteria, the subadviser incorporates into its investment process industry classifications and research services from an independent social research service, MSCI ESG Research, LLC. The subadviser conducts its own analysis of issuers and industries and creates a bespoke list of companies that do not represent strong environmental and social values and categorically excludes those companies as investment options for the Fund. Each Fund also excludes companies with low environmental, social and governance controversy scores, as determined by the MSCI ESG Ratings provided by MSCI ESG Research, LLC. Each Fund further excludes other companies with poor governance, environmental or social practices. Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in the securities of other types of companies meeting the social criteria, including foreign securities, preferred stock and convertible securities. Each Fund does not invest in the securities of companies that do not meet the social criteria. Both Funds are diversified.

The Board, including the trustees (the “Trustees”) who are not “interested persons” of VC II (as defined in the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), has unanimously approved each applicable Reorganization, on behalf of each relevant Target Fund. Subject to approval by the relevant Target Fund shareholders, each Reorganization provides for:

•

the transfer of all the assets of the relevant Target Fund to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for the assumption by the corresponding Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the relevant Target Fund and shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the value of the assets of the relevant Target Fund acquired by the corresponding Acquiring Fund reduced by the amount of such assumed liabilities;

•	the distribution of such shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund to the relevant Target Fund’s shareholders; and

•	the termination of the relevant Target Fund as a series of VC II.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If a proposed Reorganization is approved and completed, a Target Fund’s shareholders will receive shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund that have the same aggregate net asset value as the shares of the Target Fund that they owned immediately prior to the Reorganization.

Background and Reasons for the Proposed Reorganizations

At a meeting held on January 25-26, 2021 (the “January Board Meeting”), VALIC, in its capacity as the investment adviser to the Funds, proposed the Reorganizations to the Board as part of an effort to optimize the fund line-up in its product offerings, including by considering potential opportunities for consolidation of certain funds that have similar objectives and strategies, and/or to seek to eliminate certain costs associated with operating two different business entities – VC I and VC II – that are organized under the laws of different states. VALIC believes that, with respect to each proposed Reorganization, the shareholders of each Fund will benefit more from the potential operating and administrative efficiencies of consolidating the Funds under the same corporate entity, than by continuing to operate the Funds under two corporate entities.

Each Acquiring Fund, following completion of its Reorganization, may be referred to as the “Combined Fund” in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement and collectively as the “Combined Funds.” It is anticipated that the gross total annual fund operating expense ratio and the net annual fund operating expense ratio (i.e., after contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements) for each Combined Fund will be lower than the current gross total annual fund operating expense ratio and the net annual fund operating expense ratio for each of the relevant Funds. The lower net annual fund operating expense ratio for each of the Combined Funds, however, is expected to be offset by higher separate account charges, as discussed below. VALIC believes that continuing to operate each Target Fund as currently constituted is not in the best interests of the Target Fund.

In approving each Reorganization, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, determined that participation in the Reorganization is in the best interests of the relevant Target Fund and that the interests of the Target Fund’s shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. The Board considered the Reorganization proposals at the January Board Meeting, and the entire Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved each relevant Reorganization. The approval determinations were made on the basis of each Trustee’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken as a whole, though individual Trustees may have placed different weight on various factors and assigned different degrees of materiality to various conclusions.

The factors considered by the Board with regard to each Reorganization include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

The fact that the investment objective of each Target Fund is identical or substantially identical to that of the applicable Acquiring Fund. The Board considered the principal differences, if any, in investment strategy between each Acquiring Fund and the relevant Target Fund. See “Summary—Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies.”

•	The possibility that the Combined Fund is more likely to achieve further operating efficiencies compared to each Target Fund.

•	The advisory fee rate to be paid by each Combined Fund is the same as the current advisory fee rate paid by each Target Fund.

•

The expectation that each Combined Fund will have gross and net annual operating expenses below those of its corresponding Target Fund and that such lower net total annual operating expenses with respect to (i) a Target Fund (other than a Target Lifestyle Fund (as defined below)) will be due in part to the absence of a 0.25% shareholder services fee payable by the Combined Fund, which is expected to be offset in part by 0.25% higher separate account charges for Contract owners at the Contract level (as described below in the subsection entitled “Summary – Fees and Expenses”), and (ii) each of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, the Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Target Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund (each, a “Target Lifestyle Fund”) will be due in part to lower acquired fund fees and expenses fee payable by the Combined Fund, which is expected to be offset in part by 0.10% higher separate account charges for Contract owners at the Contract level (as described below in the subsection entitled “Summary – Fees and Expenses”).

•	Each Target Fund will be the survivor of the applicable Reorganization for accounting and performance purposes.

The Trustees considered that VALIC will continue to serve as the investment adviser of each Combined Fund after the Reorganization, and the subadviser(s) of the applicable Target Fund will continue to serve as subadviser(s) of the Combined Fund after the Reorganization. The Reorganization is not expected to result in diminution in the level or quality of services that the Target Fund shareholders currently receive. See “Comparison of the Funds—Management of the Funds.”

•	The performance histories of each Target Fund over different time periods. While not predictive of future results, the Board also considered certain data with respect to the performance of each Target Fund as compared to the performance of its relevant peer group.

•	The fact that it is currently anticipated that there will be no gain or loss recognized by shareholders for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganizations, as each Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free transaction.

•

The fact that the aggregate net asset value of the shares that shareholders of each Target Fund will receive in each Reorganization will equal the aggregate net asset value of the shares that shareholders of the respective Target Fund own immediately prior to such Reorganization, and that shareholders of each Target Fund will not be diluted as a result of the respective Reorganization.

•	The terms and conditions of each of the Reorganization Agreements.

•

The fact that VALIC or its affiliates will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganizations, including all direct and indirect expenses and out-of-pocket costs other than any transaction costs, if any, relating to the sale of each Target Fund’s portfolio securities prior to or after the Reorganization as described in the respective Reorganization Agreement. No shareholder would incur any sales charge, commission, redemption fee or other transactional fee as a result of the change of investment resulting from the Reorganization.

•	The fact that each Acquiring Fund will assume all of the liabilities of its respective Target Fund.

•	The fact that VC I and VC II are governed by different state laws, but that any differences in state law are not expected to have a material effect on shareholders’ rights.

•	The possible alternatives to the Reorganization.

•	Each Reorganization may result in some potential benefits to VALIC, including but not limited to cost savings, resulting from managing one Combined Fund rather than two separate Funds. The Board also considered the Reorganization’s anticipated impact on VALIC’s profitability.

If a Reorganization is not approved by shareholders of the relevant Target Fund, the Board may consider other alternatives, which may include seeking a merger with a different fund, the liquidation of the Target Fund or continuing current operations of the Target Fund.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “For” the Reorganization relating to your Target Fund.

Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies

The Acquiring Funds were recently created as new series of VC I solely for the purpose of acquiring the Target Funds’ assets. Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund follow identical or substantially similar investment objectives and principal investment strategies. The investment objective and principal investment strategies of each Combined Fund will be those of the respective Acquiring Fund.

Comparison of the Target Small Cap Value Fund and the Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund

Investment Objectives. The investment objectives of the Target Small Cap Value Fund and the Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund are identical. Each Fund seeks to provide maximum long-term return, consistent with reasonable risk to principal, by investing primarily in securities of small-cap companies in terms of revenues and/or market capitalization. The investment objectives of the Funds may both be changed without shareholder approval. The Combined Fund will pursue the Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Strategies. Each Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-cap companies. A company will be considered a small-cap company if its market

TABLE OF CONTENTS

capitalization, at time of purchase, is equal to or less than the largest company in the Russell 2000^® Index during the most recent 12-month period. As of May 8, 2020, the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell 2000^® Index was approximately $94.8 million to $4.4 billion.

The subadvisers use a value-oriented approach. Companies will be selected based upon valuation characteristics such as price-to-cash flow ratios which are at a discount to market averages. Although each Fund primarily invests in domestic issuers, each Fund is authorized to invest up to 25% of its assets in the securities of foreign issuers.

In order to generate additional income, each Fund may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other financial institutions provided that the value of the loaned securities does not exceed 30% of the respective Fund’s total assets. These loans earn income for the respective Fund and are collateralized by cash and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities.

Comparison. The investment objective and principal investment strategies of each of the Target Small Cap Value Fund and the Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund are identical.

For a discussion of the principal and other investment risks associated with an investment in the Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund and, therefore, the Combined Fund, please see “Comparison of the Funds—Principal and Non-Principal Investment Risks” below.

The portfolio managers of the Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund do not anticipate disposing of, or requesting the disposition of, any of the holdings of the Target Small Cap Value Fund in preparation for, or as a result of, the Reorganization, other than in connection with the ordinary course of business. Consequently, minimal transaction costs, if any, are anticipated to be incurred in restructuring the portfolio holdings of the Target Small Cap Value Fund in connection with the Reorganization.

Comparison of the Target Capital Appreciation Fund and the Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund

Investment Objectives. The investment objectives of the Target Capital Appreciation Fund and the Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund are identical. Each Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a broadly diversified portfolio of stocks and other equity securities of U.S. companies. The investment objectives of the Funds may both be changed without shareholder approval. The Combined Fund will pursue the Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Strategies. Each Fund invests in equity securities of large-sized U.S. companies similar in size, at the time of purchase, to those within the Russell 1000^® Growth Index. As of September 30, 2020, the largest stock by market capitalization in the Russell 1000^® Growth Index was approximately $1.98 trillion and the median was $14.35 billion. The subadviser selects stocks using a unique, growth-oriented approach, focusing on high quality companies with sustainable earnings growth that are available at reasonable prices, which combines the use of proprietary analytical tools and the qualitative judgments of the investment team. In general, the subadviser believes companies that are undervalued relative to their fundamentals and exhibit improving investor interest outperform the market over full market cycles. As a result, the subadviser’s investment process begins by using tools to rank stocks based on expected returns, construct preliminary portfolios with the use of fundamental factors, and manage risk. All purchases and sales of portfolio securities, however, are subjected ultimately to the investment team’s qualitative judgments developed from their cumulative investment experience. The entire process is designed to focus on company fundamentals through both quantitative and qualitative analysis to balance return generation with risk management. Although each Fund typically invests in common stocks of domestic companies, the Fund may occasionally invest in the equity securities of foreign issuers (up to a maximum of 20% of total assets).

Comparison of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund

Investment Objectives. The investment objectives of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund are substantially similar. The Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund seeks growth through investments in a combination of the Target Underlying Funds. The Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund seeks growth through investments in a combination of the Acquiring Underlying Funds. The investment objectives of the Funds may both be changed without shareholder approval. The Combined Fund will pursue the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Strategies. As funds-of-funds, the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund’s and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund’s principal investment strategy is to allocate assets among a combination of the Target Underlying Funds and the Acquiring Underlying Funds, respectively, that, in turn, invest directly in a wide range of portfolio securities (like stocks and bonds). Each Fund uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Target Underlying Funds or the Acquiring Underlying Funds, as applicable.

Generally, each of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund invests a larger portion of its assets in Target Underlying Funds and Acquiring Underlying Funds, as applicable, that invest in securities with a greater opportunity for capital growth, such as stocks, and generally has a higher level of risk than the VC II Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the VC II Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund or the VC I Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the VC I Conservative Lifestyle Fund, respectively. Each Fund’s indirect holdings are primarily in equity securities of domestic and foreign companies of any market capitalization, and fixed-income securities of domestic issuers. A portion of each Fund’s indirect holdings may also include fixed-income securities of foreign issuers, real estate and real estate related securities, and money market securities. Each Fund’s indirect holdings in fixed-income securities may include high yielding, high risk fixed-income securities.

Asset allocation is the most critical investment decision that you make as an investor. Selecting the appropriate combination should be based on your personal investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance. The projected asset allocation ranges for each Fund are as follows:

•	Domestic Equity Funds	40% - 70%
•	Fixed-Income Funds	10% - 50%
•	International Equity Funds	0% - 30%
•	Real Estate Funds	0% - 15%

Each Fund is managed so that it can serve as a complete investment program for you or as a core part of your larger portfolio.

The Target Underlying Funds and the Acquiring Underlying Funds for each of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, respectively, have been selected to represent a reasonable spectrum of investment options for the respective Fund. The subadviser has based the target investment percentages for each Fund on the degree to which it believes the Target Underlying Funds or the Acquiring Underlying Funds, as applicable, in combination, to be appropriate for the respective Fund’s investment objective. The subadviser may change the asset allocation ranges and the particular underlying funds in which a Fund may invest from time to time.

The Target Underlying Funds and the Acquiring Underlying Funds in which each of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund invests, respectively, may engage in active and frequent trading of portfolio securities in an effort to achieve their investment objectives.

Comparison. The only difference in the investment objectives and principal investment strategies of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund is that the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund’s underlying funds include both series of VC I and VC II, while the underlying funds of the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund include only series of VC I as a result of all of the series of VC II being

reorganized into series of VC I. If the shareholders of a VC II underlying fund do not approve the reorganization of their fund, however, and the fund does not reorganize into a series of VC I, the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund will seek to invest in that VC II underlying fund, as well as any VC I underlying fund that has commenced operations, subject to Board approval.

For a discussion of the principal and other investment risks associated with an investment in the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and, therefore, the Combined Fund, please see “Comparison of the Funds—Principal and Non-Principal Investment Risks” below.

The portfolio managers of the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund do not anticipate disposing of, or requesting the disposition of, any of the holdings of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund in preparation for, or as a result of, the Reorganization, other than in connection with the ordinary course of business.

Comparison of the Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund

Investment Objectives. The investment objectives of the Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund are substantially similar. The Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund seeks growth and current income through investments in a combination of the Target Underlying Funds. The Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund seeks growth and current income through investments in a combination of the Acquiring Underlying Funds. The investment objectives of the Funds may both be changed without shareholder approval. The Combined Fund will pursue the Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Strategies.

Each Fund invests its assets in Target Underlying Funds or Acquiring Underlying Funds, as applicable, that invest in securities that seek growth of capital, such as stocks, and securities that generate current income, such as bonds and U.S. government-issued securities. Each of the Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund generally has a lower level of risk than the VC II Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the VC I Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, respectively, but a greater level of risk than the VC II Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund and the VC I Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund, respectively.

Each Fund’s indirect holdings are primarily in domestic and foreign fixed-income securities and equity securities of domestic large-cap companies. Each Fund’s indirect holdings may also include foreign and domestic equity securities of medium- and small-cap companies, lower rated fixed-income securities, real estate and real estate related securities, and money market securities.

•	Domestic Equity Funds	25% - 55%
•	Fixed-Income Funds	30% - 70%
•	International Equity Funds	0% - 25%
•	Real Estate Funds	0% - 10%

Each Fund is managed so that it can serve as a complete investment program for you or as a core part of your larger portfolio.

Comparison of the Target International Opportunities Fund and the Acquiring International Opportunities Fund

Investment Objectives. The investment objectives of the Target International Opportunities Fund and the Acquiring International Opportunities Fund are identical. Each Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation through equity and equity-related investments of small to mid cap companies throughout the world, excluding the United States. The investment objectives of the Funds may both be changed without shareholder approval. The Combined Fund will pursue the Acquiring International Opportunities Fund’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Strategies. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of each Fund’s net assets will be invested in equity and equity-related securities of small- to mid-cap companies throughout the world, excluding the United States. Each Fund will invest primarily in small- to mid-cap companies whose capitalization, at the time of purchase, range from the market capitalization of the smallest company included in the MSCI ACWI ex USA Small and Mid-Cap Index (net) (previously defined as the “Small and Mid-Cap Index”) to the market capitalization of the largest company in the Small and Mid-Cap Index during the most recent 12-month period. As of June 30, 2020, the market capitalizations of companies included in the Small and Mid-Cap Index ranged from $0 to $21.77 billion. Each Fund may hold foreign currencies and non-dollar denominated foreign securities. Each Fund also invests in depositary receipts, which are instruments issued by a bank that represent an interest in a foreign issuer’s securities.

Each Fund is not limited in the amount it invests in any one country or region. The subadvisers will try to select a wide range of industries and companies and may invest in developing or emerging market countries. Equity securities in which each Fund may invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and, as noted above, depositary receipts.

Each Fund invests a portion of its assets using a bottom-up, growth-focused approach that seeks to invest in companies with accelerating earnings growth due to positive fundamental change, with evidence of a sustainable catalyst and improving relative price strength.

Each Fund does not employ a currency overlay strategy, but rather considers currency implications as a component in security selection.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each Fund invests the other portion of its assets in the stocks of companies it believes to have above average earnings growth potential compared to other companies using a bottom-up investment approach to buying and selling investments. Investments are selected primarily based on fundamental analysis of individual issuers. Although each Fund invests primarily in equity securities, it may invest in fixed-income securities from time-to-time up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets. Quantitative screening tools that systematically evaluate issuers may also be considered.

In order to generate additional income, each Fund may lend portfolio securities to broker-dealers and other financial institutions provided that the value of the loaned securities does not exceed 30% of the Fund’s total assets. These loans earn income for the respective Fund and are collateralized by cash and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities.

The investment objectives of the Funds may both be changed without shareholder approval. The Combined Fund will pursue the Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Strategies. At least 80% of each Fund’s net assets are invested, under normal circumstances, in high-yield, below-investment grade fixed-income securities. These securities are rated below Baa3 by Moody’s or BBB- by S&P or determined to be of comparable quality by the subadviser. Up to 15% of the Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund’s net assets can be rated below Caa3 by Moody’s or CCC- by S&P or its equivalent rating by another Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organization. Each Fund may also invest up to 35% of its net assets in below-investment grade foreign fixed-income securities.

Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets in investment grade fixed-income securities, those rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s and BBB- or higher by S&P. Although each Fund does not routinely invest in equity securities, it may invest in equity securities from time-to-time up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets.

The subadviser analyzes macroeconomic trends to develop an overall picture of a country, market, or market segment and combines that analysis with research on individual securities to achieve each Fund’s objective.

Investors will be given at least 60 days’ written notice in advance of any change to a Fund’s 80% investment policy.

Comparison of the Target Mid Cap Value Fund and the Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund

Investment Objectives. The investment objectives of the Target Mid Cap Value Fund and the Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund are identical. Each Fund seeks capital growth through investment in equity securities of medium capitalization companies using a value-oriented investment approach. The investment objectives of the Funds may both be changed without shareholder approval. The Combined Fund will pursue the Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund’s investment objective.

Principal Investment Strategies. Each Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of net assets in equity securities of mid-cap companies. Generally, mid-cap companies will include companies whose market capitalizations, at the time of purchase, range from the market capitalization of the smallest company included in the Russell Midcap^® Index to the market capitalization of the largest company in the Russell Midcap^® Index during the most recent 12-month period. As of May 8, 2020, the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell Midcap^® Index was approximately $1.8 billion to $31.7 billion.

The subadvisers use value-oriented investment approaches to identify companies in which to invest each Fund’s assets. Generally, the subadvisers select stocks that they believe meet one or more of the following criteria: (1) are undervalued relative to other securities in the same industry or market, (2) exhibit good or improving fundamentals, or (3) exhibit an identifiable catalyst (e.g., an event or company report that significantly affects the price of a security, such as an earnings report, new product launch, new legislation, or lawsuit) that could close the gap between market value and fair value over the next one to two years.

Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its total assets in foreign securities. Each Fund may also invest in depositary receipts, which are instruments issued by a bank that represent an interest in a foreign issuer’s securities.

Investors will be given at least 60 days’ written notice in advance of any change to a Fund’s 80% investment policy set forth above.

Comparison of the Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund and the Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund

Investment Objectives. The investment objectives of the Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund and the Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund are identical. Each Fund seeks to obtain growth of capital through investment, primarily in equity securities, in companies which meet the social criteria established for the respective Fund. The investment objectives of the Funds may both be changed without shareholder approval. The Combined Fund will pursue the Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund’s investment objective.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Principal Investment Strategies. Each Fund invests, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of U.S. companies meeting the respective Fund’s social criteria. To determine which companies meet the Funds’ social criteria, the subadviser incorporates into its investment process industry classifications and research services from an independent social research service, MSCI ESG Research, LLC (MSCI ESG Research).

The subadviser conducts its own analysis of issuers and industries and creates a bespoke list of companies that do not represent strong environmental and social values and categorically excludes those companies as investment options for each Fund. Each Fund does not invest in companies that are significantly engaged in:

•	the manufacture or distribution of civilian firearms, military weapons or weapons delivery systems;

•	the manufacture or distribution of alcoholic beverages or tobacco products;

•	the operation of gambling-related businesses; and

•	the production of nuclear energy.

Each Fund also excludes companies with low environmental, social and governance controversy scores, as determined by the MSCI ESG Ratings provided by MSCI ESG Research. MSCI ESG Research uses a rules based methodology to rate issuers on key ESG issues, including: (1) environmental issues such as climate change, natural resources, pollution and waste, and environmental opportunities; (2) social issues such as human capital, product liability, stakeholder opposition and social opportunities; and (3) governance issues such as corporate governance and corporate behavior.

Each Fund further does not invest in companies that:

•	have a history of poor labor-management relations;

•	engage in businesses or have products that have a severely negative impact on the environment;

•	have significant business operations in countries whose governments pose human rights concerns; operate businesses that have a significantly adverse impact on the communities in which they are located;

•	engage in businesses or have products that have a severely negative impact on their customers, which may include companies that have products that pose safety or health concerns, engage in practices that are anti-competitive or have marketing that is inappropriate or misleading; and

•	have a history of poor business ethics, which may include companies that have incidents of bribery or fraud, or poor governance structures.

Each Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in the securities of other types of companies meeting the social criteria, including foreign securities, preferred stock and convertible securities. Neither Fund invests in the securities of companies that do not meet the social criteria.

Investors will be given at least 60 days’ written notice in advance of any change to either Fund’s 80% investment policy set forth above.

Comparison. The investment objective and principal investment strategies of each of the Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund and the Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund are identical.

The portfolio managers of the Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund do not anticipate disposing of, or requesting the disposition of, any of the holdings of the Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund in preparation for, or as a result of, the Reorganization, other than in connection with the ordinary course of business. Consequently, minimal transaction costs, if any, are anticipated to be incurred in restructuring the portfolio holdings of the Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund in connection with the Reorganization.

Additional Information About the Acquiring Funds’ Investment Strategies. From time to time, the Acquiring Funds may take temporary defensive positions that are inconsistent with their principal investment strategies, in attempting to respond to adverse market, economic, political, or other conditions. There is no limit on an Acquiring Fund’s investments in money market securities for temporary defensive purposes. If a Fund takes such a temporary defensive position, it may not achieve its investment objective. In addition, each of the Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, the Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund (collectively, the “Lifestyle Funds”) may invest in the Government Money Market I Fund, a series of VC I, as a temporary defensive position.

The investment objective and principal strategies for each Acquiring Fund are non-fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Directors of VC I without shareholder approval. Shareholders will be given at least 60 days’ written notice in advance of any change to an Acquiring Fund’s investment strategy that requires 80% of its net assets to be invested in certain types of securities described in its name. References to “net assets” take into account any borrowings for investment purposes by an Acquiring Fund. Unless stated otherwise, all percentages are calculated as of the time of purchase.

In addition to the securities and techniques described herein, there are other securities and investment techniques in which an Acquiring Fund may invest in limited instances, which are not described in this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. These other securities and investment techniques are listed in the VC I SAI, which may be obtained free of charge.

VALIC, as the investment adviser of the Acquiring Funds, initially allocates the assets of certain Acquiring Funds that have more than one subadviser in a manner designed to maximize investment efficiency as well as properly reflect the investment style and provide complementary fit within the Funds. VALIC allocates subscriptions and redemptions equally among the multiple subadvisers, unless VALIC determines that a different allocation of assets would be in the best interest of the respective Acquiring Fund and its shareholders. VALIC periodically reviews the asset allocation in each Acquiring Fund to determine the extent to which a portion of assets managed by a subadviser differs from that portion initially allocated to the subadviser. If VALIC determines that the difference is significant, VALIC may effect a re-balancing of an Acquiring Fund’s assets and adjustment of the Fund’s allocation of cash flows among subadvisers. However, VALIC reserves the right to reallocate assets from one subadviser to another when it would be in the best interests of an Acquiring Fund and its shareholders to do so. VALIC makes such determination based on a number of factors including to maintain a consistent investment style and to better reflect an Acquiring Fund’s benchmark or its peers. In some instances, the effect of the reallocation will be to shift assets from a better performing subadviser to a portion of the Fund with a relatively lower total return.

Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund

The subadvisers invest in companies that are attractively valued relative to their peers, with conservative management teams, high quality earnings and strong momentum characteristics. Stocks that are deemed unattractive based on their value, quality or momentum characteristics become candidates for sale. The frequency with which the Fund buys and sells securities will vary from year to year, depending on market conditions.

The subadvisers regularly use exchange-traded futures to manage the Fund’s cash.

The Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund is also subject to the following additional risks: Cybersecurity Risk, Active Trading Risk, Foreign Investment Risk, Investment Company Risk and Derivatives Risk.

Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund

The Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund is also subject to the following additional risks: Cybersecurity Risk, Active Trading Risk and Foreign Investment Risk.

Lifestyle Funds

Each of the Lifestyle Funds is a fund-of-funds. Fund-of-funds is a term used to describe a mutual fund that pursues its objective by investing in other mutual funds, rather than in individual stocks or bonds. An investor in a Lifestyle Fund pays the expenses of the Lifestyle Fund and indirectly pays a proportionate share of the expenses of the Acquiring Underlying Funds.

Appendix A to this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement lists the Acquiring Underlying Funds in which the Lifestyle Funds may invest their assets, as of the date of this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, along with their investment

goals and principal strategies, risks and investment techniques. The subadvisers may add new Acquiring Underlying Fund investments or replace existing Acquiring Underlying Fund investments for the Lifestyle Funds at any time. In addition, the investment goal and principal strategies, risks and investment techniques of an Acquiring Underlying Fund held by a Lifestyle Fund may change over time. Additional information regarding the Acquiring Underlying Funds is included in the summary prospectuses and statutory prospectuses of each Acquiring Underlying Fund.

In determining which Lifestyle Fund is appropriate for you, you should consider your risk tolerance, investment goals, investment time horizon and financial circumstances. You should reconsider these factors from time-to-time to determine whether another one of the Lifestyle Funds more accurately reflects your then-current investment style and life stage. The allocation to stocks and bonds in each Lifestyle Fund reflects its greater or lesser emphasis on pursuing current income or capital growth and its risk tolerance. The Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund primarily invests in Acquiring Underlying Funds that invest in common stocks, which may provide capital growth, but may expose the Fund to greater market risk and higher volatility than the other Lifestyle Funds. The Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in Acquiring Underlying Funds that invest in fixed-income securities (such as bonds, U.S. government issued securities, and mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities), which are more likely to generate current income, and may expose the Fund to less risk and volatility and less opportunity for capital growth than the other Lifestyle Funds. The Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund invests in Acquiring Underlying Funds that invest in both equity securities and fixed-income securities, which may expose the Fund to a moderate level of risk when compared to the other Lifestyle Funds.

Each Lifestyle Fund intends to invest in Acquiring Underlying Funds with exposure to the following asset categories:

Domestic Equity Funds

International Equity Funds

Domestic Fixed Income Funds

Real Estate Funds

International Fixed Income Funds

Domestic Money Market Funds

The percentage of each Lifestyle Fund’s assets invested in the Acquiring Underlying Funds will change from time-to-time and the subadviser may re-allocate the Fund’s assets among these asset categories and the Acquiring Underlying Funds.

Each Lifestyle Fund is also subject to the following additional risk: Cybersecurity Risk.

Acquiring International Opportunities Fund

Equity securities in which the Fund may invest may include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible securities and depositary receipts.

Although the Fund invests primarily in equity securities, it may invest in fixed-income securities from time-to-time up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets. Investments in such fixed-income securities will be rated as investment grade by Moody’s, S&P or Fitch Ratings. Fixed-income securities may be denominated in various currencies; however, no more than 20% of the Fund’s net assets will be invested in fixed-income securities denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar or invested in fixed-income securities issued by a single foreign government or international organization, such as the World Bank.

The Fund may also invest up to 5% of its assets in participatory notes. Participatory notes are participation interest notes that are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying equity, debt, currency or market. The Fund may also invest in other investment companies (including exchange-traded funds).

If the active trading market for certain securities becomes limited or non-existent, it can become more difficult to sell the securities at or near their perceived value. This may cause the value of such securities and the Fund’s share price to fall dramatically.

The Fund will not concentrate its assets in any single industry but may from time to time invest a higher percentage of its assets in companies conducting business in various industries within an economic sector.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Acquiring International Opportunities Fund is also subject to the following additional risks: Cybersecurity Risk, Active Trading Risk, Credit Risk, Interest Rate Risk, Investment Company Risk, Liquidity Risk, Preferred Stock Risk, Participatory Notes Risk and Sector Risk.

Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund

The Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund may also invest up to 15% of the Fund’s net assets in bank loans and up to 10% of the Fund’s net assets in credit derivatives (single name credit default swaps and credit default swap indexes). Credit derivatives may be used by the Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund for various purposes, including managing credit risk (i.e., hedging), enhancing returns, a substitute for physical securities or speculation.

The Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund is also subject to the following additional risks: Cybersecurity Risk, Credit Default Swap Risk, Loan Risk, Derivatives Risk, Hedging Risk, Counterparty Risk, Equity Securities Risk, Preferred Stock Risk, Convertible Securities Risk and Warrant Risk.

Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund

In determining whether a company is exhibiting good or improving fundamentals, each subadviser conducts extensive research, which generally consists of reviewing a company’s business prospects, including its financial strength, business plans, industry, position and/or management experience. Each subadviser’s valuation techniques are a key component to the Fund’s investment approach.

From time to time, certain of the Fund’s subadvisers may invest in small or large-cap companies, preferred stock and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).

The Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund is also subject to the following additional risks: Cybersecurity Risk, Large-Cap Company Risk, Small-Cap Company Risk, Preferred Stock Risk and REITs Risk.

Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund

Since the Fund’s definition of social criteria is not “fundamental,” VC I’s Board of Directors may change it without shareholder approval. When deciding to make changes to the criteria, the Board of Directors will consider, among other things, new or revised state laws that govern or affect the investments in public funds.

The Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund is also subject to the following additional risk: Cybersecurity Risk.

Below is additional information about the Acquiring Funds’ principal and non-principal investments identified above, as applicable.

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal and Non-Principal Investments
	Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund			American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) ADRs are certificates issued by a U.S. bank or trust company and represent the right to receive securities of a foreign issuer deposited in a domestic bank or foreign branch of a U.S. bank. ADRs in which a Fund may invest may be sponsored or unsponsored. There may be less information available about foreign issuers of unsponsored ADRs.

	Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund			Derivatives Unlike stocks and bonds that represent actual ownership of a stock or bond, derivatives are instruments that “derive” their value from securities issued by a company, government, or government agency, such as futures and options. In certain cases, derivatives may be purchased for non-speculative investment purposes or to protect (“hedge”) against a change in the price of the underlying security. There are some investors who take higher risk (“speculate”) and buy derivatives to profit from a change in price of the underlying security. The Funds may purchase

	derivatives to hedge their investment portfolios and to earn additional income in order to help achieve their objectives. Generally, the Funds do not buy derivatives to speculate. Futures contracts and options may not always be successful hedges; their prices can be highly volatile; using them could lower Fund total return; and the potential loss from the use of futures can exceed a Fund’s initial investment in such contracts.

All Acquiring Funds	Diversification Each Fund’s diversification policy limits the amount that the Fund may invest in certain securities. Each Fund’s diversification policy is also designed to comply with the diversification requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). All of the Funds are diversified under the 1940 Act. All of the Funds are expected to satisfy the Code’s diversification requirements.

All Acquiring Funds	Equity Securities Equity securities represent an ownership position in a company. The prices of equity securities fluctuate based on changes in the financial condition of the issuing company and on market and economic conditions. If you own an equity security, you own a part of the company that issued it. Companies sell equity securities to get the money they need to grow. Stocks are one type of equity security. Generally, there are three types of stocks:
	•	Common stock – Each share of common stock represents a part of the ownership of the company. The holder of common stock participates in the growth of the company through increasing stock price and receipt of dividends. If the company runs into difficulty, the stock price can decline and dividends may not be paid.
	•	Preferred stock – Each share of preferred stock usually allows the holder to get a set dividend before the common stock shareholders receive any dividends on their shares.
	•	Convertible preferred stock – A stock with a set dividend which the holder may exchange for a certain amount of common stock.
	Stocks are not the only type of equity security. Other equity securities include but are not limited to convertible securities, depositary receipts, warrants, rights and partially paid shares, investment company securities, real estate securities, convertible bonds and ADRs, European Depositary Receipts (“EDRs”) and Global Depositary Receipts (“GDRs”). More information about these equity securities is included elsewhere in this Prospectus or contained in the SAI.

	Market cap ranges. Companies are determined to be large-cap companies, mid-cap companies, or small-cap companies based upon the total market value of the outstanding common stock (or similar securities) of the company at the time of purchase. The market capitalization of the companies in which the Funds invest, and the indexes described below, change over time. A Fund will not automatically sell or cease to purchase stock of a company that it already owns just because the company’s market capitalization grows or falls outside this range. With respect to all Funds, except as noted above:
	•	Large-Cap companies will generally include companies whose market capitalizations are equal to or greater than the market capitalization of the smallest company in the Russell 1000^® Index during the most recent 12-month period. As of May 8, 2020, the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell 1000^® Index was approximately $1.8 billion to $1,400.5 billion.
	•	Mid-Cap companies will generally include companies whose market capitalizations range from the market capitalization of the smallest company included in the S&P MidCap 400 and Russell Midcap^® Indices to the market capitalization of the largest company in the S&P MidCap 400 and Russell Midcap^® Indices during the most recent 12-month period. As of August 31, 2020, the market capitalization range of the companies in the S&P MidCap 400 Index was approximately $749.78 million to $15.04 billion. As of May 8, 2020, the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell Midcap^® Index was approximately $1.8 billion to $31.7 billion.
	•	Small-Cap companies will generally include companies whose market capitalizations are equal to or less than the market capitalization of the largest company in the Russell 2000^® Index during the most recent 12-month period. As of May 8, 2020, the market capitalization range of the companies in the Russell 2000^® Index was approximately $94.8 million to $4.4 billion.

Acquiring International Opportunities Fund	Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) ETFs are a type of investment company bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track a particular market index. Fund could purchase an ETF to gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the ETFs have management fees which increase their cost. A Fund’s ability to invest in ETFs is limited by the 1940 Act.

	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Fixed-Income Securities Fixed-income securities include a broad array of short-, medium- and long-term obligations, including notes and bonds. Fixed-income securities may have fixed, variable, or floating rates of interest, including rates of interest that vary inversely at a multiple of a designated or floating rate, or that vary according to changes in relative values of currencies. Fixed-income securities generally involve an obligation of the issuer to pay interest on either a current basis or at the maturity of the security and to repay the principal amount of the security at maturity. Bonds are one type of fixed-income security and are sold by governments on the local, state, and federal levels, and by companies. There are many different kinds of bonds. For example, each bond issue has specific terms. U.S. Government bonds are guaranteed by the federal government to pay interest and principal. Revenue bonds are usually only paid from the revenue of the issuer. An example of that would be an airport revenue bond. Debentures are a very common type of corporate bond (a bond sold by a company). Payment of interest and return of principal is subject to the company’s ability to pay. Convertible bonds are corporate bonds that can be exchanged for stock. Investing in a bond is like making a loan for a fixed period of time at a fixed interest rate. During the fixed period, the bond pays interest on a regular basis. At the end of the fixed period, the bond matures and the investor usually gets back the principal amount of the bond. Fixed periods to maturity are categorized as short term (generally less than 12 months), intermediate (one to 10 years), and long term (10 years or more). Investment grade bonds are bonds that are rated at least BBB by S&P, Baa by Moody’s or the equivalent thereof by another rating organization or, if unrated, are determined by the subadviser to be of comparable quality at the time of purchase. The VC I SAI has more detail about ratings. Bonds that are rated Baa by Moody’s or BBB by S&P have speculative characteristics. Bonds that are unrated or rated below Baa3 by Moody’s or BBB- by S&P (commonly referred to as high yield, high risk or junk bonds) are regarded, on balance, as predominantly speculative. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to weaken the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation than is the case with higher rated bonds. While such bonds may have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by uncertainties or risk exposures to adverse conditions. Lower rated bonds may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and individual corporate developments than would investment grade bonds. For example, a projected economic downturn or the possibility of an increase in interest rates could cause a decline in high-yield, high-risk bond

				prices because such an event might lessen the ability of highly leveraged high yield issuers to meet their principal and interest payment obligations, meet projected business goals, or obtain additional financing. In addition, the secondary trading market for lower-medium and lower-quality bonds may be less liquid than the market for investment grade bonds. This potential lack of liquidity may make it more difficult to accurately value certain of these lower-grade portfolio securities. Bonds are not the only type of fixed-income security. Other fixed-income securities include, but are not limited to, U.S. and foreign corporate fixed-income securities, including convertible securities (bonds, debentures, notes and other similar instruments) and corporate commercial paper, mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities; inflation-indexed bonds issued by both governments and corporations; structured notes, including hybrid or “indexed” securities, preferred or preference stock, catastrophe bonds, and loan participations; bank certificates of deposit, fixed time deposits and bankers’ acceptances; repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements; fixed-income securities issued by states or local governments and their agencies, authorities and other instrumentalities; obligations of foreign governments or their subdivisions, agencies and instrumentalities; and obligations of international agencies or supranational entities. Commercial paper is a specific type of corporate or short-term note payable in less than 270 days. Most commercial paper matures in 50 days or less. Fixed-income securities may be acquired with warrants attached. For more information about specific income securities, see the VC I SAI. Investments in fixed-income securities include U.S. Government securities. U.S. Government securities are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities. Some U.S. Government securities are issued or unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. They are of the highest possible credit quality. While these securities are subject to variations in market value due to fluctuations in interest rates, they will be paid in full if held to maturity. Other U.S. Government securities are neither direct obligations of, nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury; however, they involve federal sponsorship. For example, some are backed by specific types of collateral; some are supported by the issuer’s right to borrow from the Treasury; some are supported by the discretionary authority of the Treasury to purchase certain obligations of the issuer; and others are supported only by the credit of the issuing government agency or instrumentality. For more information about mortgage-backed fixed-income securities see “Mortgage-Backed Securities” below. Recent market conditions have resulted in fixed-income instruments experiencing unusual liquidity issues, increased price volatility and, in some cases, credit downgrades and increased likelihood of default. These events have reduced the willingness of some lenders to extend credit, and have made it more difficult

				for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms, if at all. As a result, the value of many types of debt securities has been reduced, including, but not limited to, asset-backed securities. Because the situation in the markets is widespread and largely unprecedented, it may be unusually difficult to identify both risks and opportunities, or to predict the duration of these market events. Mortgage-backed securities have been especially affected by these events. Some financial institutions may have large (but still undisclosed) exposures to such securities, which could have a negative effect on the broader economy. Securities in which a Fund invests may become less liquid in response to market developments or adverse investor perceptions. In some cases, traditional market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt instruments, which has affected the liquidity of those instruments. Illiquid investments may be harder to value, especially in changing markets, and if a Fund is forced to sell such investments to meet redemptions or for other cash needs, such Fund may suffer a loss.

	All Acquiring Funds			Foreign Currency Funds buy foreign currencies when they believe the value of the currency will increase. If it does increase, they sell the currency for a profit. If it decreases they will experience a loss. A Fund may also buy foreign currencies to pay for foreign securities bought for the Fund or for hedging purposes.

	All Acquiring Funds			Foreign Securities Securities of foreign issuers include obligations of foreign branches of U.S. banks and of foreign banks, common and preferred stocks, fixed-income securities issued by foreign governments, corporations and supranational organizations, and GDRs and EDRs. There is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies, and they are generally not subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.

	All Acquiring Funds			Lending Portfolio Securities Each Fund, other than the Lifestyle Funds, may make secured loans of its portfolio securities for purposes of realizing additional income. No lending may be made with any companies affiliated with VALIC. The Funds will only make loans to broker-dealers and other financial institutions deemed by State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “securities lending agent”) to be creditworthy. The securities lending agent also holds the cash and the portfolio securities of VC I. Each loan of portfolio securities will be continuously secured by collateral in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. Such collateral will be cash and securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S.

	Government or its agencies or instrumentalities. As with other extensions of credit, securities lending involves the risk that the borrower may fail to return the securities in a timely manner or at all. A Fund may lose money if the Fund does not recover the securities and/or the value of the collateral or the value of investments made with cash collateral falls. Such events may also trigger adverse tax consequences for a Fund. To the extent that either the value of the cash collateral or a Fund’s investments of the cash collateral declines below the amount owed to a borrower, such Fund also may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Securities lending also involves the risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. Engaging in securities lending could also have a leveraging effect, which may intensify the market risk, credit risk and other risks associated with investments in a Fund.

Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund	Loan Assignments Loan assignments are purchased from a lender and typically result in the purchaser succeeding to all rights and obligations under the loan agreement between the assigning lender and the borrower. However, loan assignments may be arranged through private negotiations, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser of a loan assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning lender.

Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund	Loan Participations Loan participations are interests in loans acquired from a lender or from other owners of loan participations (a “Participant”). In either case, the purchaser does not establish any direct contractual relationship with the borrower. The purchaser of a loan participation is required to rely on the lender or the Participant that sold the loan participation not only for the enforcement of its rights under the loan agreement against the borrower but also for the receipt and processing of payments due under the loan. Therefore, the owner of a loan participation is subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and a lender or Participant.
All Acquiring Funds	Money Market Securities All of the Funds may invest part of their assets in high quality money market securities payable in U.S. dollars. A money market security is a high quality, short-term debt obligation that is eligible for inclusion in money market fund portfolios, in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. These high quality money market securities include:
	•	Securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
	•	Certificates of deposit and other obligations of domestic banks having total assets in excess of $1 billion.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Acquiring Fund(s)	Principal and Non-Principal Investments
	•	Commercial paper sold by corporations and finance companies.
	•	Corporate debt obligations with remaining maturities of 13 months or less.
	•	Repurchase agreements, money market securities of foreign issuers if payable in U.S. dollars, asset-backed securities, loan participations, adjustable rate securities, and variable rate demand notes

Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund	Mortgage-Backed Securities Mortgage-backed securities include, but are not limited to, mortgage pass-through securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and commercial mortgage-backed securities. Mortgage pass-through securities represent interests in “pools” of mortgage loans secured by residential or commercial real property. Payments of interest and principal on these securities are generally made monthly, in effect “passing through” monthly payments made by the individual borrowers on the mortgage loans which underlie the securities (net of fees paid to the issuer or guarantor of the securities). Mortgage-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk and prepayment risk. Payment of principal and interest on some mortgage pass-through securities may be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government (i.e., securities guaranteed by GNMA) or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government (i.e., securities guaranteed by FNMA or FHLMC, which are supported only by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agency’s obligations). Mortgage-backed securities created by non-governmental issuers (such as commercial banks, private mortgage insurance companies and other secondary market issuers) may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool and hazard insurance and letters of credit, which may be issued by governmental entities, private insurers or the mortgage poolers. CMOs are hybrid mortgage-backed instruments. CMOs may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or by portfolios of mortgage pass-through securities guaranteed by GNMA, FHLMC, or FNMA. CMOs are structured into multiple classes, with each class bearing a different stated maturity. CMOs that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by any of its agencies or instrumentalities will be considered U.S. Government securities by the Funds, while other CMOs, even if collateralized by U.S. Government securities, will have the same status as other privately issued securities for purposes of applying a Fund’s diversification tests. Commercial mortgage-backed securities include securities that reflect an interest in, and are secured by, mortgage loans on

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal and Non-Principal Investments
				commercial real property. Many of the risks of investing in commercial mortgage-backed securities reflect the risks of investing in the real estate securing the underlying mortgage loans. These risks reflect the effects of local and other economic conditions on real estate markets, the ability of tenants to make loan payments, and the ability of a property to attract and retain tenants. Commercial mortgage-backed securities may be less liquid and exhibit greater price volatility than other types of mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities include mortgage pass-through securities described above and securities that directly or indirectly represent a participation in, or are secured by and payable from, mortgage loans on real property, such as mortgage dollar rolls, CMO residuals or stripped mortgage-backed securities. These securities may be structured in classes with rights to receive varying proportions of principal and interest.

	Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund			Swap Agreements Swap agreements are two party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for periods ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard “swap” transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments, which may be adjusted for an interest factor. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount” (i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate or in a particular foreign currency), or in a “basket” of securities representing a particular index. Forms of swap agreements include credit default swaps, equity swaps, interest rate swaps, floors, and collars, and fixed-income total return swaps. Credit default swaps give one party to a transaction the right to dispose of or acquire an asset (or group of assets), or the right to receive or make a payment from the other party, upon the occurrence of specified credit events. An equity swap is a special type of total return swap, where the underlying asset is a stock, a basket of stocks, or a stock index. Compared to actually owning the stock, in this case you do not have to pay anything up front, but you do not have any voting or other rights that stockholders do have. Interest rate swaps are the most common type of swap. The parties typically exchange fixed-rate payments against floating rate payments. A fixed-income total return swap is a swap, where one party pays the total return of an asset, and the other party makes periodic interest payments. The total return is the capital gain or loss, plus any interest or dividend payments. The parties have exposure to the return of the underlying asset without having to hold the underlying assets.

Fee Table of the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund and the Pro Forma Combined Fund

The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Funds. The Funds’ annual operating expenses do not reflect the separate account fees charged in the Contracts in which the Funds are offered. The percentages presented in the fee table for the Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund are based on fees and expenses incurred during the 12-month period ended August 31, 2020 (unless restated, as noted below). The percentages presented in the fee table for the pro forma Combined Fund are based on estimated pro forma fees and expenses attributable to shares of the Pro Forma Combined Fund for the 12-month period ended August 31, 2020, assuming the Reorganization had taken place at the beginning of the fiscal year and after giving effect to the Reorganizations of the Underlying Funds (as of August 31, 2020) into their corresponding Acquiring Funds (if applicable).

EXAMPLES:

These Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the relevant Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. These Examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the relevant Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same and, if applicable, include fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements for year one. The Examples do not reflect charges imposed by the Contract. If the Contract fees were reflected, the expenses would be higher. See the Contract prospectus for information on such charges.

Accordingly, from the perspective of Contract owners, the anticipated lower net operating expense ratio of the Combined Fund due in part to the absence of a 0.25% shareholder services fee payable by the Combined Fund is expected to be offset in part by 0.25% higher separate account charges at the Contract level.

Portfolio Turnover

Each Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect a Fund’s performance. During its most recent fiscal year, each Fund had the following portfolio turnover rate:

Fund			Rate
Target Small Cap Value Fund			69%
Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund			—%*
Target Capital Appreciation Fund			62%
Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund			—%*
Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund			48%

Principal Investment Risks

Because of the similarities in the principal investment strategies of the applicable Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund, the Funds in each Reorganization are subject to the same principal investment risks associated with an investment in the relevant Fund. The principal risks of each Fund are set out in the tables below. For more information on these risks, see “Comparison of the Funds—Risks of the Funds.”

You will find additional descriptions of specific risks in the prospectuses and statements of additional information for the Funds.

As with any mutual fund, there can be no assurance that each Fund’s investment objective will be met or that the net return on an investment in the Fund will exceed what could have been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles. Shares of the Funds are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. If the value of the assets of your Fund goes down, you could lose money.

Federal Tax Consequences

Each Reorganization is expected to qualify as a tax-free “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If a Reorganization so qualifies, in general, none of the relevant Target Fund, the relevant Acquiring Fund, or their respective shareholders, will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization. As a condition to the closing of each Reorganization, VC I, on behalf of the relevant Acquiring Fund, and VC II, on behalf of the relevant Target Fund, will receive an opinion from Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP to that effect. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or any court and thus does not preclude the IRS from asserting, or a court from rendering, a contrary position.

Contract owners will not recognize gain or loss as a result of a Reorganization. As is the case with other distributions to the Separate Accounts (as defined below) of the Life Companies holding shares, Contract owners will not be taxed on any distributions paid with respect to a Reorganization.

For more information about the U.S. federal income tax consequences of each Reorganization, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations.”

Purchase, Redemption and Valuation of Shares

Procedures for the purchase, redemption and valuation of shares of each Target Fund and its respective Acquiring Fund are identical.

The following discussion describes the principal risks that may affect the relevant Acquiring Fund and, therefore, the Combined Fund. You will find additional descriptions of specific risks in the respective Acquiring Fund’s Summary Prospectus.

As with any mutual fund, there can be no assurance that the relevant Acquiring Fund’s investment objective will be met or that the net return on an investment in the relevant Acquiring Fund will exceed what could have been obtained through other investment or savings vehicles.

Shares of each Acquiring Fund are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed or insured by any bank, government entity or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. If the value of the assets of your Acquiring Fund goes down, you could lose money.

The following are the principal investment risks associated with the respective Acquiring Fund and, therefore, also with the respective Combined Fund:

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal Risk Factors
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Active Trading Risk. The Underlying Funds may actively trade, which is associated with high portfolio turnover rates and which may result in higher transaction costs to the Underlying Funds. High portfolio turnover rates of the Underlying Funds can adversely affect the Fund’s performance. Active trading tends to be more pronounced during periods of increased market volatility.
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Affiliated Fund Risk. The subadviser chooses the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests. As a result, the subadviser may be subject to potential conflicts of interest in selecting the Underlying Funds because the fees payable to it by the adviser for subadvising some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees payable to the subadviser by the adviser for subadvising other Underlying Funds. However, the subadviser is subject to the adviser’s oversight and has a fiduciary duty to act in the Fund’s best interests when selecting the Underlying Funds.
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Asset Allocation Risk. The Fund’s risks will directly correspond to the risks of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. The Fund is subject to the risk that the selection of the Underlying Funds and the allocation and reallocation of the Fund’s assets among the various asset classes and market sectors may not produce the desired result.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal Risk Factors
	Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund			Call or Prepayment Risk. During periods of falling interest rates, a bond issuer may “call” a bond to repay it before its maturity date. The Fund may only be able to invest the bond’s proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Fund’s income.

An Underlying Fund may only be able to invest the bond’s proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Underlying Fund’s income.
	Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			Convertible Securities Risk. Convertible security values may be affected by market interest rates, issuer defaults and underlying common stock values; security values may fall if market interest rates rise and rise if market interest rates fall. Additionally, an issuer may have the right to buy back the securities at a time unfavorable to the Fund.
	Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund			Credit Risk. The Fund may suffer losses if the issuer of a fixed-income security owned by the Fund is unable to make interest or principal payments.
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Credit Risk. The Fund may suffer losses if the issuer of a fixed-income security owned by an Underlying Fund is unable to make interest or principal payments.
	Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund			Currency Risk. Because the Fund’s foreign investments are generally held in foreign currencies, the Fund could experience gains or losses based solely on changes in the exchange rate between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. Such gains or losses may be substantial.
	Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund			Depositary Receipts Risk. Depositary receipts are generally subject to the same risks as the foreign securities that they evidence or into which they may be converted. Depositary receipts may or may not be jointly sponsored by the underlying issuer. The issuers of unsponsored depositary receipts are not obligated to disclose information that is considered material in the United States. Therefore, there may be less information available regarding the issuers and there may not be a correlation between such information and the market value of the depositary receipts. Certain depositary receipts are not listed on an exchange and therefore are subject to illiquidity risk.
	Acquiring International Opportunities Fund			Emerging Markets Risk. In addition to the risks associated with investments in foreign securities, emerging market securities are subject to additional risks, which cause these securities generally to be more volatile than securities of issuers located in developed countries.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal Risk Factors
	Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			Equity Securities Risk. The Fund’s investments in equity securities are subject to the risk that stock prices will fall and may underperform other asset classes. Individual stock prices fluctuate from day-to-day and may decline significantly. The prices of individual stocks may be negatively affected by poor company results or other factors affecting individual prices, as well as industry and/or economic trends and developments affecting industries or the securities market as a whole.

	Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			Foreign Investment Risk. Investment in foreign securities involves risks due to several factors, such as illiquidity, the lack of public information, changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar, unfavorable political, social and legal developments, or economic and financial instability. Foreign companies are not subject to the U.S. accounting and financial reporting standards and may have riskier settlement procedures. U.S. investments that are denominated in foreign currencies or that are traded in foreign markets, or securities of U.S. companies that have significant foreign operations may be subject to foreign investment risk.
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Foreign Investment Risk. The Underlying Funds may invest in foreign securities. Investment in foreign securities involves risks due to several factors, such as illiquidity, the lack of public information, changes in the exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar, unfavorable political, social and legal developments, or economic and financial instability. Foreign companies are not subject to the U.S. accounting and financial reporting standards and may have riskier settlement procedures. U.S. investments that are denominated in foreign currencies or that are traded in foreign markets, or securities of U.S. companies that have significant foreign operations may be subject to foreign investment risk.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal Risk Factors
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Fund-of-Funds Risk. The costs of investing in the Fund, as a fund-of-funds, may be higher than the costs of investing in a mutual fund that only invests directly in individual securities. An Underlying Fund may change its investment objective or policies without the Fund’s approval, which could force the Fund to withdraw its investment from such Underlying Fund at a time that is unfavorable to the Fund. In addition, one Underlying Fund may buy the same securities that another Underlying Fund sells. Therefore, the Fund would indirectly bear the costs of these trades without accomplishing any investment purpose.
	Acquiring International Opportunities Fund			Geographic Risk. If the Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in issuers located in a single country, a limited number of countries, or a particular geographic region, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions in those countries or that region may have a significant impact on its investment performance.
	Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund Acquiring International Opportunities Fund			Growth Style Risk. Generally, “growth” stocks are stocks of companies that a subadviser believes have anticipated earnings ranging from steady to accelerated growth. Many investors buy growth stocks because of anticipated superior earnings growth, but earnings disappointments often result in sharp price declines. Growth companies usually invest a high portion of earnings in their own businesses so their stocks may lack the dividends that can cushion share prices in a down market. In addition, the value of growth stocks may be more sensitive to changes in current or expected earnings than the value of other stocks, because growth stocks trade at higher prices relative to current earnings.
	Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund			Interest Rate Risk. The value of fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go up or increase when interest rates go down. The interest earned on fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go down or increase when interest rates go up. Longer-term and lower coupon bonds tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates and the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to these initiatives.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal Risk Factors
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Interest Rate Risk. The Underlying Funds may invest in fixed-income securities. The value of fixed-income securities may decline when interest rates go up or increase when interest rates go down.

Longer-term and lower coupon bonds tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The Underlying Funds may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates and the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to these initiatives.
	Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund			Junk Bond Risk. High yielding, high risk fixed-income securities (often referred to as “junk bonds”) may involve significantly greater credit risk, market risk and interest rate risk compared to higher rated fixed-income securities. Issuers of junk bonds are less secure financially and their securities are more sensitive to downturns in the economy. The market for junk bonds may not be as liquid as that for more highly rated securities.

				Issuers of junk bonds are less secure financially and their securities are more sensitive to downturns in the economy. The market for junk bonds may not be as liquid as that for more highly rated securities.
	Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund			Large-Cap Companies Risk. Investing primarily in large-cap companies carries the risk that due to current market conditions these companies may be out of favor with investors. Large-cap companies may be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges or attain the high growth rate of successful smaller companies.

	Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund			Management Risk. The investment style or strategy used by the Fund may fail to produce the intended result. A subadviser’s assessment of a particular security or company may prove incorrect, resulting in losses or underperformance.

The Fund’s share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry, or specific holdings or due to adverse political or economic developments here or abroad, changes in investor psychology, or heavy institutional selling and other conditions or events (including, for example, military confrontations, war, terrorism, disease/virus, outbreaks and epidemics). The prices of individual securities may fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, from day to day. The prices of stocks and other equity securities tend to be more volatile than those of fixed-income securities.
				The coronavirus pandemic and the related governmental and public responses have had and may continue to have an impact on the Fund’s investments and net asset value and have led and may continue to lead to increased market volatility and the potential for illiquidity in certain classes of securities and sectors of the market. Preventative or protective actions that governments may take in respect of pandemic or epidemic diseases may result in periods of business disruption, business closures, inability to obtain raw materials, supplies and component parts, and reduced or disrupted operations for the issuers in which the Fund invests. Government intervention in markets may impact interest rates, market volatility and security pricing. The occurrence, reoccurrence and pendency of such diseases could adversely affect the economies (including through changes in business activity and increased unemployment) and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide.

The occurrence, reoccurrence and pendency of such diseases could adversely affect the economies (including through changes in business activity and increased unemployment) and financial markets either in specific countries or worldwide.
	Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund			Mid-Cap Company Risk. Investing in mid-cap companies carries the risk that due to current market conditions these companies may be out of favor with investors. Stocks of mid-cap companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies due to, among other reasons, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and fewer experienced managers.
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Mid-Cap Company Risk. The Underlying Funds may invest in mid-cap companies. Investing primarily in mid-cap companies carries the risk that due to current market conditions these companies may be out of favor with investors. Stocks of mid-cap companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies due to, among other reasons, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources and fewer experienced managers.
	Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			Preferred Stock Risk. Unlike common stock, preferred stock generally pays a fixed dividend from a company’s earnings and may have a preference over common stock on the distribution of a company’s assets in the event of bankruptcy or liquidation. Preferred stockholders’ liquidation rights are subordinate to the company’s debt holders and creditors. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive and the price of preferred stocks may decline. Preferred stockholders typically do not have voting rights.
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Real Estate Investments Risk. The Underlying Funds may invest in real estate securities. Securities of companies in the real estate industry are sensitive to several factors, such as changes in real estate values, interest rates, cash flow, occupancy rates, and greater company liabilities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal Risk Factors
	Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund Acquiring Capital Appreciation Fund Acquiring International Opportunities Fund Acquiring High Yield Bond Fund Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			Securities Lending Risk. Engaging in securities lending could increase the market and credit risk for Fund investments. The Fund may lose money if it does not recover borrowed securities, the value of the collateral falls, or the value of investments made with cash collateral declines. The Fund’s loans will be collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities, which subjects the Fund to the credit risk of the U.S. Government or the issuing federal agency or instrumentality. If the value of either the cash collateral or the Fund’s investments of the cash collateral falls below the amount owed to a borrower, the Fund also may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Securities lending also involves the risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or possible loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower fails. Another risk of securities lending is the risk that the loaned portfolio securities may not be available to the Fund on a timely basis and the Fund may therefore lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price.
	Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund Acquiring International Opportunities Fund			Small-Cap Company Risk. Investing in small-cap companies carries the risk that due to current market conditions these companies may be out of favor with investors. Small companies often are in the early stages of development with limited product lines, markets, or financial resources and managements lacking depth and experience, which may cause their stock prices to be more volatile than those of larger companies. Small company stocks may be less liquid yet subject to abrupt or erratic price movements.

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal Risk Factors
	Acquiring U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			Social Criteria Risk. Social criteria screening limits the availability of investment opportunities for the Fund. If the Fund changes its social criteria or a company stops meeting the Fund’s social criteria, the Fund will sell the affected investments even if this means the Fund loses money. Therefore, adhering to the social criteria screening may affect the Fund’s performance relative to similar funds that do not adhere to such criteria.
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Underlying Funds Risk. The risks of the Fund owning the Underlying Funds generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities held by the Underlying Funds. Disruptions in the markets for the securities held by the Underlying Funds could result in losses on the Fund’s investment in such securities. The Underlying Funds also have fees that increase their costs versus owning the underlying securities directly. For example, the Fund indirectly pays a portion of the expenses (including management fees and operating expenses) incurred by the Underlying Funds.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

	Acquiring Fund(s)			Principal Risk Factors
	Acquiring Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund Acquiring Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			Underlying Fund Securities Lending Risk. Certain Underlying Funds may lend portfolio securities to generate additional income. Engaging in securities lending could increase the market and credit risk for an Underlying Fund’s investments. An Underlying Fund may lose money if it does not recover borrowed securities, the value of the collateral falls, or the value of investments made with cash collateral declines. An Underlying Fund’s loans will be collateralized by securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities, which subjects such Underlying Fund to the credit risk of the U.S. Government or the issuing federal agency or instrumentality. If the value of either the cash collateral or an Underlying Fund’s investments of the cash collateral falls below the amount owed to a borrower, the Underlying Fund also may incur losses that exceed the amount it earned on lending the security. Securities lending also involves the risks of delay in receiving additional collateral or possible loss of rights in the collateral if the borrower fails. Another risk of securities lending is the risk that the loaned portfolio securities may not be available to an Underlying Fund on a timely basis and the Underlying Fund may therefore lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. If an Underlying Fund in which the Fund invests incurs losses as a result of its securities lending activities, the value of the Underlying Fund may decrease, which will have an adverse effect on the Fund.
	Acquiring Small Cap Value Fund Acquiring Mid Cap Value Fund			Value Style Risk. Generally, “value” stocks are stocks of companies that a subadviser believes are currently undervalued in the marketplace. A subadviser’s judgment that a particular security is undervalued in relation to the company’s fundamental economic value may prove incorrect and the price of the company’s stock may fall or may not approach the value the subadviser has placed on it.

Fundamental and Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions

Each Target Fund and its corresponding Acquiring Fund have identical investment restrictions. If the shareholders of a Target Fund approve the Reorganization relating to their Target Fund, VALIC will manage the respective Combined Fund pursuant to the investment restrictions of the Acquiring Fund. The complete list of the fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions of each Target Fund and the corresponding Acquiring Fund is set out in “Appendix B – Fundamental and Non-Fundamental Investment Restrictions.”

Performance Information

The following bar charts and tables illustrate the risks of investing in each Target Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from calendar year to calendar year and comparing the Fund’s average annual returns to those of one or more broad-based securities indices. Fees and expenses incurred at the contract level are not reflected in the bar charts or tables. If these amounts were reflected, returns would be less than those shown. Of course, past performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future. Each of the Acquiring Funds is newly organized and has no performance information.

Each of the Board and the Board of Directors of VC I, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, must approve each new subadvisory agreement. This allows VALIC to act more quickly to change subadvisers when it determines that a change is beneficial by avoiding the delay of calling and holding shareholder meetings to approve each change.

The applicable Company SAI provides additional information about the compensation of each Fund’s portfolio managers, other accounts managed by such managers and such managers’ ownership of securities in each Fund and other funds managed by VALIC.

As discussed below under “Investment Advisory Agreement,” following the Reorganizations, VALIC will continue to serve as the investment adviser of each Combined Fund and the respective Subadviser for each Acquiring Fund will continue to serve as Subadviser to the respective Combined Fund. It is anticipated that the current portfolio managers for each Acquiring Fund will be the portfolio managers of the respective Combined Fund following the Reorganizations.

The exemptive order discussed above will continue to apply to each Combined Fund following the completion of the Reorganizations. As a result, shareholder approval would not be required to employ an unaffiliated subadviser for a Combined Fund, change the terms of particular agreements with unaffiliated subadvisers or continue the employment of existing unaffiliated subadvisers after events that would otherwise cause an automatic termination of a subadvisory agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Investment Advisory Agreement

Pursuant to each Company’s Advisory Agreement with VALIC, each Fund pays VALIC an advisory fee. As compensation for its services, VALIC receives from each Fund a fee, accrued daily and payable monthly, based on the average monthly net asset value of the Fund at the following annual rates listed below:

Fund			Advisory Fee paid to VALIC
Target Small Cap Value Fund			0.75% on the first $50 million 0.65% on assets over $50 million
Target Capital Appreciation Fund			0.55% on the first $1 billion 0.525% on assets over $1 billion
Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund			0.10%
Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			0.10%
Target Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund			0.10%
Target International Opportunities Fund			0.90% on the first $100 million 0.80% on the next $650 million 0.75% on assets over $750 million
Target High Yield Bond Fund			0.65% on the first $150 million 0.60% on the next $350 million 0.55% on assets over $500 million
Target Mid Cap Value Fund			0.75% on the first $100 million 0.725% on the next $150 million 0.70% on the next $250 million 0.675% on the next $250 million 0.65% on assets over $750 million
Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			0.25% on the first $1 billion 0.24% on assets over $1 billion

Each Acquiring Fund pays VALIC the same annual rates as its respective Target Fund, as listed above.

For its most recent fiscal year, each Target Fund paid VALIC a fee equal to the following percentage of average monthly net assets:

Fund			Fee
Target Small Cap Value Fund			0.67%
Target Capital Appreciation Fund			0.55%
Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund			0.10%
Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			0.10%
Target Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund			0.10%
Target International Opportunities Fund			0.82%
Target High Yield Bond Fund			0.61%
Target Mid Cap Value Fund			0.70%
Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			0.25%

As each Acquiring Fund has not commenced operations, it has not paid VALIC investment advisory fees.

Pursuant to Expense Limitation Agreements, VALIC has contractually agreed to reimburse expenses of certain VC I Funds through September 30, 2022 and VC II Funds through December 31, 2022, so that each Fund’s Total Annual Operating Expenses do not exceed the limits set forth below. For the purposes of each Expense Limitation Agreement, “Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses” shall not include extraordinary expenses (i.e., expenses that are unusual in nature and infrequent in occurrence, such as litigation), or acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage commissions and other transactional expenses relating to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, interest, taxes and governmental fees, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. Each agreement will be renewed annually for one-year terms unless terminated by the applicable Board prior to any such renewal.

Fund			Maximum Fund Expense
Target Small Cap Value Fund			1.02%

The terms of each Advisory Agreement and the services provided to each Fund under its Advisory Agreement are substantially similar.

A discussion regarding the basis for the VC I Board of Directors’ approval of the Advisory Agreement for each Acquiring Fund will be available in the first annual or semi-annual report to shareholders of the Acquiring Funds. A discussion regarding the basis for the VC II Board’s approval of the Advisory Agreement for each Target Fund is available in VC II’s most recent annual report to shareholders.

If the shareholders of each Target Fund approve the Reorganization relating to their Target Fund, the respective Combined Fund will be managed by VALIC pursuant to the VC I Advisory Agreement. As discussed above, the services provided to each Fund under the applicable Advisory Agreement are substantially similar.

Service Providers

State Street, located at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, serves as custodian for each Fund. In this capacity, State Street maintains the portfolio securities held by each Fund, administers the purchase and sale of portfolio securities and performs certain other duties.

SunAmerica, located at Harborside 5, 185 Hudson Street, Suite 3300, Jersey City, New Jersey 07311, serves as the administrator for each Fund.

VALIC Retirement Services Company, 2929 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019, is each Fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), located at 1000 Louisiana Street, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002, is each Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm. PwC performs an annual audit of each Fund’s financial statements and provides tax advisory services and tax return preparation.

The firm of Sullivan & Worcester LLP, located at 1666 K Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20006, serves as legal counsel to each Fund and as independent counsel to the Independent Trustees of each Company.

Combined Fund. Each Fund currently uses the same service providers and it is anticipated that each Combined Fund will continue to use such service providers.

Dividends and Capital Gains

Dividends from Net Investment Income. For each Fund, dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually. Dividends from net investment income are automatically reinvested for you into additional shares of the Fund.

Distributions from Capital Gains. When a Fund sells a security for more than it paid for that security, a capital gain results. For each Fund, distributions from capital gains, if any, are normally declared and paid annually. Distributions from capital gains are automatically reinvested for you into additional shares of the Fund.

Tax Consequences. As the owner of a Contract, a participant under your employer’s Contract or Plan or as an IRA account owner, you will not be directly affected by the federal income tax consequences of distributions, sales or

TABLE OF CONTENTS

redemptions of Fund shares. You should consult your Contract prospectus, Plan document, custodial agreement or your tax professional for further information concerning the federal income tax consequences to you of investing in the Funds.

Purchase, Redemption and Valuation of Shares

Each Company is an open-end fund and may offer shares of its Funds for sale at any time. However, each Company offers shares of its Funds only to registered and unregistered separate accounts (the “Separate Accounts” and each, a “Separate Account”) of VALIC and its affiliates and to qualifying retirement plans (previously defined as the “Plans”) and IRAs.

Valuation of shares. The net asset value per share for a Fund is determined each business day at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time) by dividing the net assets of the Fund by the number of outstanding shares. The net asset value per share for each Fund also may be calculated on any other day in which there is sufficient liquidity in the securities held by the Fund. As a result, the value of the Fund’s shares may change on days when you will not be able to purchase or redeem your shares. Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their market price as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange for the day, unless, in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the applicable Board, the market quotations are determined to be unreliable. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are unavailable or unreliable are valued at fair value in accordance with pricing procedures periodically approved by the Board. There is no single standard for making fair value determinations, which may result in prices that vary from those of other funds. In addition, there can be no assurance that fair value pricing will reflect actual market value and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may differ materially from the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security.

Investments in registered investment companies that do not trade on an exchange are valued at the end of the day net asset value per share. Investments in registered investment companies that trade on an exchange are valued at the last sales price or official closing price as of the close of the customary trading session on the exchange where the security principally traded. The prospectus for any such open-end funds should explain the circumstances under which these funds use fair value pricing and the effect of using fair value pricing.

As of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, securities traded primarily on security exchanges outside the United States are valued at the last sale price on such exchanges on the day of valuation or if there is no sale on the day of valuation, at the last reported bid price. If a security’s price is available from more than one exchange, a Fund uses the exchange that is the primary market for the security. However, depending on the foreign market, closing prices may be up to 15 hours old when they are used to price a Fund’s shares, and a Fund may determine that certain closing prices do not reflect the fair value of a security. This determination will be based on review of a number of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. If a Fund determines that closing prices do not reflect the fair value of the securities, the Fund will adjust the previous closing prices in accordance with pricing procedures approved by the applicable Board to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange. A Fund may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the Fund is open. For foreign equity securities and foreign equity futures contracts, a Fund uses an outside pricing service to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices.

Certain Funds may invest in securities that are primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. As a result, the value of such foreign securities may change on days when the Funds are not open to purchases or redemptions. During periods of extreme volatility or market crisis, a Fund may temporarily suspend the processing of sell requests or may postpone payment of proceeds for up to seven business days or longer, or as allowed by federal securities laws.

Buy and Selling Shares. As a participant in a Contract, Plan, or IRA, you do not directly buy shares of the Funds that make up a Company. Instead, you buy units in either a registered or unregistered separate account of VALIC or of its affiliates or through a trust or custodial account under a Plan or an IRA. When you buy these units, you specify the Funds in which you want the Separate Account, trustee or custodian to invest your money. The Separate Account, trustee or custodian in turn, buys the shares of the Funds according to your instructions. After you invest in a Fund, you participate in Fund earnings or losses in proportion to the amount of money you invest. When you provide instructions to buy, sell, or transfer shares of the Funds, the Separate Account, trustee or custodian does not pay any

TABLE OF CONTENTS

sales or redemption charges related to these transactions. The value of such transactions is based on the next calculation of net asset value after the orders are placed with the Fund.

For certain investors, there may be rules or procedures regarding the following:

•	any minimum initial investment amount and/or limitations on periodic investments;

•	how to purchase, redeem or exchange your interest in the Funds;

•	how to obtain information about your account, including account statements and

•	any fees applicable to your account.

For more information on such rules or procedures, you should review your Contract prospectus, Plan document or custodial agreement. The Funds do not currently foresee any disadvantages to participants arising out of the fact that they may offer their shares to Separate Accounts of various insurance companies to serve as the investment medium for their variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts. Nevertheless, the Board of each Company intends to monitor events in order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts which may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to such conflicts. If such a conflict were to occur, one or more insurance companies’ Separate Accounts might be required to withdraw their investments in the Funds and shares of another Fund may be substituted. This might force a Fund to sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices. In addition, each Company reserves the right to refuse to sell shares of any Fund to any Separate Account, plan sponsor, trustee or custodian, or financial intermediary, or may suspend or terminate the offering of shares of any Fund if such action is required by law or regulatory authority or is in the best interests of the shareholders of the Fund.

Execution of requests. Each Company is open on those days when the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. Buy and sell requests are executed at the next net asset value to be calculated after the request is accepted by the Company. If the order is received by a Company, or the insurance company as its authorized agent, before the Company’s close of business (generally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time), the order will receive that day’s closing price. If the order is received after that time, it will receive the next business day’s closing price.

Normally, a Company redeems Fund shares within seven days when the request is received in good order, but may postpone redemptions beyond seven days when: (i) the New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than weekends and customary holidays, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange becomes restricted; (ii) an emergency exists making disposal or valuation of the Fund’s assets not reasonably practicable; or (iii) the SEC has so permitted by order for the protection of the Company’s shareholders. For these purposes, the SEC determines the conditions under which trading shall be deemed to be restricted and an emergency shall be deemed to exist.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares

The Funds, which are offered only through Contracts, Plans or IRAs, are intended for long-term investment and not as a frequent short-term trading (“market timing”) vehicle. Accordingly, organizations or individuals that use market timing investment strategies and make frequent transfers or redemptions should not purchase shares of the Funds. Each Board has adopted policies and procedures with respect to market timing activity as discussed below. Each Company believes that market timing activity is not in the best interest of the participants of its Funds. Due to the disruptive nature of this activity, it can adversely impact the ability of the subadvisers to invest assets in an orderly, long-term manner. In addition, market timing can disrupt the management of a Fund and raise its expenses through: increased trading and transaction costs; forced and unplanned portfolio turnover; and large asset swings that decrease the Fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all participants. This in turn can have an adverse effect on Fund performance.

If a Fund invests in foreign securities and/or high yield fixed income securities (“junk bonds”), it may be particularly vulnerable to market timing. Market timing in a Fund that invests significantly in foreign securities may occur because of time zone differences between the foreign markets on which the Fund’s international portfolio securities trade and the time as of which the Fund’s net asset value is calculated. Market timing in a Fund that invests significantly in junk bonds may occur if market prices are not readily available for a Fund’s junk bond holdings. Market timers might try to purchase shares of the Funds based on events occurring after foreign market closing prices are established but before calculation of the Fund’s net asset value, or if they believe market prices for junk bonds are not accurately reflected by the Fund. One of the objectives of the Companies’ fair value pricing procedures is to minimize the possibilities of this type of market timing.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Shares of the Funds are generally held through insurance company Separate Accounts, Plans or through a trust or custodial account (“Financial Intermediaries”). The ability of a Company to monitor transfers made by the participants in Separate Accounts or Plans maintained by financial intermediaries is limited by the institutional nature of Financial Intermediaries’ omnibus accounts. Each Company’s policy is that its Funds will rely on the Financial Intermediaries to monitor market timing within the Funds to the extent that the Company believes that each Financial Intermediary’s practices are reasonably designed to detect and deter transactions that are not in the best interest of the Funds.

There is no guarantee that a Company will be able to detect market timing activity or the participants engaged in such activity, or, if it is detected, to prevent its recurrence. Whether or not a Company detects it, if market timing occurs, then you should anticipate that you will be subject to the disruptions and increased expenses discussed above. In situations in which a Company becomes aware of possible market timing activity, it will notify the Financial Intermediary in order to help facilitate the enforcement of such entity’s market timing policies and procedures. Each Company has entered into agreements with various Financial Intermediaries that require such intermediaries to provide certain information to help identify frequent trading activity and to prohibit further purchases or exchanges by a participant identified as having engaged in frequent trades. Each Company reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, to reject, restrict or refuse purchase orders received from a Financial Intermediary, whether directly or by transfer, including orders that have been accepted by a Financial Intermediary, that the Company determines not to be in the best interest of the Fund. Such rejections, restrictions or refusals will be applied uniformly without exception.

You should review your Contract prospectus, Plan document or custodial agreement for more information regarding market timing, including any restrictions, limitations or fees that may be charged on trades made through a Contract, Plan or IRA. Any restrictions or limitations imposed by the Contract, Plan or IRA may differ from those imposed by the Companies.

Payments in Connection with Distribution

VALIC, as a life insurance company and as the investment adviser of the Funds, receives revenue sharing payments from certain subadvisers (other than SunAmerica, an affiliated investment adviser) in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other servicing activities, including payments to help offset costs for marketing activities and training to support sales of the Funds, as well as occasional gifts, entertainment or other compensation as incentives. Payments may be derived from investment management fees received by VALIC or the subadvisers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUNDS

Purchases and Sales of Portfolio Shares

Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed through Contracts offered by the separate accounts of VALIC or other participating life insurance companies and through Plans and IRAs. Shares of a Fund may be purchased and redeemed each day the New York Stock Exchange is open, at the Fund’s net asset value determined after receipt of a request in good order.

A Fund does not have any initial or subsequent investment minimums. However, your insurance company may impose investment or account value minimums. The prospectus (or other offering document) for your Contract contains additional information about purchases and redemptions of a Fund’s shares.

Tax Information

A Fund will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax so long as it qualifies as a regulated investment company and distributes its income and gains each year to its shareholders. However, contractholders may be subject to federal income tax (and a federal Medicare tax of 3.8% that applies to net income, including taxable annuity payments, if applicable) upon withdrawal from a Contract. Contractholders should consult the prospectus (or other offering document) for the Contract for additional information regarding taxation.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries

The Funds are not sold directly to the general public but instead are offered to registered and unregistered separate accounts of VALIC and its affiliates and to Plans and IRAs. The Funds and their related companies may make payments to the sponsoring insurance company or its affiliates for recordkeeping and distribution. These payments may create a conflict of interest as they may be a factor that the insurance company considers in including the Funds as underlying investment options in a variable contract. Visit your sponsoring insurance company’s website for more information.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

As each Acquiring Fund is recently organized, there are no financial highlights to report. The financial highlights of each Target Fund are included in the current Prospectus for the Fund, which is incorporated herein by reference into this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. The financial highlights of each Target Fund may also be found in the Target Fund’s Annual Report and Semi-Annual Report, which are available without charge by calling 1-800-448-2542.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATIONS

General

Under each Reorganization Agreement, the relevant Target Fund will transfer all of its assets and liabilities to its corresponding Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of such Acquiring Fund. For more details about the Reorganization Agreements, see Appendix C— “Form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.” The shares of the relevant Acquiring Fund issued to a Target Fund will have an aggregate net asset value equal to the aggregate net asset value of the Target Fund’s shares outstanding immediately prior to the applicable Reorganization. Upon receipt by a Target Fund of the shares of the respective Acquiring Fund, the Target Fund will distribute the shares to its shareholders. Then, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (as defined in Appendix C), the Target Fund will be terminated as a series of VC II under Delaware law.

The distribution of Acquiring Fund shares to a Target Fund’s shareholders will be accomplished by crediting Target Fund shareholder accounts with shares of the respective Acquiring Fund whose aggregate value at the time of issuance will equal the aggregate value of the Target Fund attributable to such shareholder on that date. See “Terms of the Reorganization Agreement” below.

Accordingly, as a result of a Reorganization, the relevant Target Fund shareholders will own shares of the relevant Acquiring Fund having an aggregate net asset value immediately after the Closing Date equal to the aggregate net asset value of that shareholder’s Target Fund shares immediately prior to the Closing Date. Each Reorganization will not result in dilution of either Fund’s net asset value.

Terms of the Reorganization Agreements

Pursuant to each Reorganization Agreement, an Acquiring Fund will acquire the assets of the relevant Target Fund on the Closing Date in consideration for the assumption of all of the Target Fund’s liabilities and shares of the Acquiring Fund.

On the Closing Date, the relevant Target Fund will transfer to its corresponding Acquiring Fund its assets in exchange solely for shares of the Acquiring Fund that are equal in value to the value of the net assets of the Target Fund transferred to the Acquiring Fund as of the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with the Acquiring Fund’s valuation procedures or such other valuation procedures as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Funds, and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund.

Each Target Fund expects to distribute the shares of its corresponding Acquiring Fund to the shareholders of the Target Fund promptly after the Closing Date. Upon distribution of such shares, all outstanding shares of the Target Fund will be redeemed in accordance with applicable state law and the organizational documents of VC II. Thereafter, the relevant Target Fund will be terminated as a series of VC II under Delaware law.

Each of the Funds has made certain standard representations and warranties to each other regarding capitalization, status and conduct of business.

Unless waived in accordance with the applicable Reorganization Agreement, the obligations of the relevant Company, on behalf of its Fund(s), are conditioned upon, among other things:

•	the approval of the Reorganization by the Target Fund’s shareholders;

•	the absence of any rule, regulation, order, injunction or proceeding preventing or seeking to prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement;

•	the receipt of all necessary approvals, consents, registrations and exemptions under federal, state and local laws;

•	the truth in all material respects as of the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Funds and performance and compliance in all material respects with the Funds’ agreements, obligations and covenants required by the Reorganization Agreement;

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•	the effectiveness under applicable law of the registration statement of the Company of which this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement forms a part and the absence of any stop orders under the Securities Act of 1933 pertaining thereto; and

•	the receipt of opinions of counsel relating to, among other things, the tax-free nature of the Reorganization.

Each Reorganization Agreement may be terminated or amended by the mutual consent of the relevant Company, on behalf of the relevant Fund, either before or after approval thereof by the shareholders of the Target Fund.

The Board unanimously recommends that you vote to approve the Reorganization relating to the relevant Target Fund, as it believes the Reorganization is in the best interests of the Target Fund (as described more fully in “Reasons for the Reorganizations” below) and that the interests of existing shareholders of the Target Fund will not be diluted as a result of consummation of the proposed Reorganization.

Reasons for the Reorganizations

At the January Board Meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, evaluated each Reorganization independently of the other Reorganizations and approved the applicable Reorganization. At the January Board Meeting, VALIC, in its capacity as the investment adviser to the Funds, proposed the Reorganizations to the Board as part of an effort to optimize the fund line-up in its product offerings, including by considering potential opportunities for consolidation of certain funds that have similar objectives and strategies, and to seek to eliminate certain costs associated with operating two different business entities – VC I and VC II – that are organized under the laws of different states. In approving each Reorganization Agreement, the Board evaluated extensive information that was provided by VALIC about each Fund and the terms of the proposed Reorganization Agreement. The information showed that the Reorganizations are expected to result in operational and administrative efficiencies for the Combined Funds, although no assurance can be given that these efficiencies will be achieved. The Board approved the Reorganizations on the recommendations of VALIC and based on each Trustee’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken as a whole, though individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to various factors and assigned different degrees of materiality to various conclusions. The factors considered by the Board with regard to each relevant Reorganization include, but are not limited to, the following:

•

•	The possibility that the Combined Fund is more likely to achieve further operating efficiencies compared to each Target Fund.

•	The advisory fee rate to be paid by each Combined Fund is the same as the current advisory fee rate paid by each Target Fund.

•

The expectation that each Combined Fund will have gross and net annual operating expenses below those of its corresponding Target Fund and that such lower net total annual operating expenses with respect to (i) a Target Fund (other than a Target Lifestyle Fund) will be due in part to the absence of a 0.25% shareholder services fee payable by the Combined Fund, which is expected to be offset in part by 0.25% higher separate account charges for Contract owners at the Contract level (as described below in the subsection entitled “Summary – Fees and Expenses”), and (ii) a Target Lifestyle Fund will be due in part to lower acquired fund fees and expenses fee payable by the Combined Fund, which is expected to be offset in part by 0.10% higher separate account charges for Contract owners at the Contract level (as described below in the subsection entitled “Summary – Fees and Expenses”).

•	Each Target Fund will be the survivor of the applicable Reorganization for accounting and performance purposes.

•

The personnel of VALIC and the applicable Subadviser(s) who will manage each Combined Fund. The Trustees considered that VALIC will continue to serve as the investment adviser of each Combined Fund after the Reorganization, and the Subadviser(s) of the applicable Target Fund will continue to serve as subadviser(s) of the Combined Fund after the Reorganization. The Reorganization is not expected to result in diminution in the level or quality of services that the Target Fund shareholders currently receive. See “Comparison of the Funds—Management of the Funds.”

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•	The performance histories of each Target Fund over different time periods. While not predictive of future results, the Board also considered certain data with respect to the performance of each Target Fund as compared to the performance of its relevant peer group.

•	The fact that it is currently anticipated that there will be no gain or loss recognized by shareholders for federal income tax purposes as a result of the Reorganizations, as each Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free transaction.

•

•	The terms and conditions of each of the Reorganization Agreements.

•

The fact that VALIC or its affiliates will pay the expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganizations, including all direct and indirect expenses and out-of-pocket costs other than any transaction costs relating to the sale of each Target Fund’s portfolio securities prior to or after the Reorganization as described in the respective Reorganization Agreement. No shareholder would incur any sales charge, commission, redemption fee or other transactional fee as a result of the change of investment resulting from the Reorganization.

•	The fact that each Acquiring Fund will assume all of the liabilities of its respective Target Fund.

•	The fact that VC I and VC II are governed by different state laws, but that any differences in state law are not expected to have a material effect on shareholders’ rights.

•	The possible alternatives to the Reorganization.

•	Each Reorganization may result in some potential benefits to VALIC, including but not limited to cost savings, resulting from managing one Combined Fund rather than two separate Funds. The Board also considered the Reorganization’s anticipated impact on VALIC’s profitability.

During their consideration of the Reorganizations, the Independent Trustees consulted with counsel to the Independent Trustees in executive session outside the presence of Fund management. After consideration of the factors noted above, together with other factors and information considered to be relevant, and recognizing that there can be no assurance that any operating efficiencies or other benefits will in fact be realized, the Board unanimously concluded that, based upon the factors and determinations summarized above, consummation of each relevant Reorganization is in the best interests of the relevant Target Fund and the interests of the Target Fund’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization. Consequently, they approved the Reorganization Agreements and directed that the Reorganization Agreements be submitted to shareholders of the Target Funds for approval. The Directors of VC I also approved the Reorganization Agreements at the January Board Meeting on behalf of each Acquiring Fund, after concluding that the proposed relevant Reorganization would be in the best interests of the Acquiring Fund and the interests of the Acquiring Fund’s existing shareholders will not be diluted as a result of the Reorganization (noting that each Acquiring Fund has been newly created and has no existing shareholders).

The approval determinations were made on the basis of each Trustee’s business judgment after consideration of all of the factors taken as a whole, though individual Trustees may have placed different weight on various factors and assigned different degrees of materiality to various conclusions.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Reorganizations

The following is a general summary of the material anticipated U.S. federal income tax consequences of each Reorganization. The discussion is based upon the Code, Treasury regulations, court decisions, published positions of the IRS and other applicable authorities, all as in effect on the date hereof and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations (possibly with retroactive effect). The discussion is limited to U.S. persons that hold shares of a Target Fund as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a particular shareholder or to shareholders who may be subject to special treatment under federal income tax laws. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax aspects described below. This discussion

TABLE OF CONTENTS

assumes that the Contracts issued by the respective Life Companies are and remain qualified as annuity contracts. Shareholders should consult their own tax advisers as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a Reorganization, as well as the effects of state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

It is a condition to the closing of each Reorganization that the relevant Company, on behalf of each relevant Fund, receive an opinion from Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, special tax counsel to each Fund, dated as of the Closing Date, that the Reorganization will be a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and that the Target Fund and the Acquiring Fund each will be a “party to a reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code. As a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of each Reorganization can be summarized as follows:

•

No gain or loss will be recognized by the Target Fund or by the Acquiring Fund upon the transfer of all of the assets of the Target Fund to the Acquiring Fund solely in exchange for the shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Target Fund; or upon the distribution of the shares of the Acquiring Fund by the Target Fund to its shareholders in the subsequent termination of the Target Fund.

•	No gain or loss will be recognized by a shareholder of the Target Fund that exchanges all of its shares of the Target Fund solely for the shares of the Acquiring Fund pursuant to the Reorganization.

•	The tax basis of the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by a shareholder of the Target Fund pursuant to the Reorganization (including any fractional share) will be the same as the tax basis of the shares of the Target Fund surrendered in exchange therefor.

•	The holding period of the shares of the Acquiring Fund received by a shareholder of the Target Fund pursuant to the Reorganization (including any fractional share) will include the holding period of the shares of the Target Fund surrendered in exchange therefor.

•

The Acquiring Fund’s tax basis in assets of the Target Fund received by the Acquiring Fund pursuant to the Reorganization will, in each instance, equal the tax basis of such assets in the hands of the Target Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization increased by the amount of gain (or decreased by the amount of loss), if any, recognized by the Target Fund upon the transfer, and the Acquiring Fund’s holding period for such assets will, in each instance, include the period during which the assets were held by the Target Fund.

The opinion of Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP relating to each Reorganization will be based on U.S. federal income tax law in effect on the Closing Date. In rendering each opinion, Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP will also rely upon certain representations of the management of the relevant Acquiring Fund and the relevant Target Fund and assume, among other things, that the applicable Reorganization will be consummated in accordance with the operative documents. Each opinion will not express an opinion as to the tax effects to the respective Target Fund, the respective Acquiring Fund, or the respective shareholders of each from the marking to market of certain categories of assets as of the closing of the taxable year of each Target Fund at the time of the applicable Reorganization or as a result of the transfer of certain types of assets. An opinion of counsel is not binding on the IRS or any court.

Each Acquiring Fund intends to continue to be taxed under the rules applicable to regulated investment companies as defined in Section 851 of the Code, which are the same rules currently applicable to each Target Fund and its shareholders.

Effect on Owners of Contracts

Contract owners will not recognize gain or loss as a result of either Reorganization. As is the case with other distributions to the Separate Accounts of the Life Companies holding shares, Contract owners will not be taxed on any distributions paid with respect to either Reorganization.

Effect on the Separate Accounts of the Life Companies and Other Shareholders

The tax impact of any sales of the portfolio securities of a Target Fund prior to a Reorganization will depend on the difference between the price at which such portfolio securities are sold and the Target Fund’s basis in such securities. Any capital gains recognized in such sales on a net basis following the closing of the Reorganization will be distributed, if required, to the Separate Accounts of the Life Companies and other shareholders of the Combined Fund, as applicable, as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net realized long-term capital gains) and/or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net realized short-term capital gains) during or with respect to the year of sale. Any capital

TABLE OF CONTENTS

gains recognized in such sales on a net basis prior to the closing of the Reorganization will be distributed, if required, to the Separate Accounts of the Life Companies and other shareholders of the Target Fund, as applicable, as capital gain dividends (to the extent of net realized long-term capital gains) and/or ordinary dividends (to the extent of net realized short-term capital gains) during or with respect to the year of sale. As is the case with other distributions, Contract owners will not be taxed on these distributions. VALIC also has advised that none of the Target Funds or the Combined Funds will dispose of holdings in the Target Funds’ or the Combined Funds’ portfolios to such an extent that it would adversely affect the tax-free nature of the applicable Reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

As a result of the Reorganizations, each Acquiring Fund will succeed to tax attributes, including capital loss carryforwards, if any, of the relevant Target Fund. The capital loss carryforwards of the Funds will be available to offset future capital gains recognized by the relevant Combined Fund, subject to limitations under the Code. These limitations generally apply to a fund that experiences a greater than 50% ownership change as a result of a reorganization. In addition, pursuant to Section 381 of the Code, an acquiring fund generally may not use a target fund’s capital loss carryforwards to offset gains recognized during the portion of the year before the date of a reorganization, but may use such capital loss carryforwards to offset post-reorganization gains. Where these limitations apply, the Combined Funds may not be able to use all or a portion of a Fund’s capital loss carryforwards in a particular year, the effect of which may be to accelerate the recognition of taxable gains to the Combined Funds and their respective shareholders post-closing of the Reorganization. As of August 31, 2020, the Target Funds had the following capital loss carryforwards:

Target Funds	Short-Term Capital Loss Carryforward	Long-Term Capital Loss Carryforward
Target Small Cap Value Fund	$839,744	—
Target Capital Appreciation Fund	—	—
Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund	—	—
Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund	—	—
Target Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund	—	—
Target International Opportunities Fund	—	—
Target High Yield Bond Fund	$803,393	$12,600,625
Target Mid Cap Value Fund	—	—
Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund	—	—

The Reorganizations are not expected to result in an ownership change of the Funds. In addition, any limitation under Section 381 of the Code is not expected to be material. Thus, it is not anticipated that the limitations on use of a Fund’s capital loss carryforwards, if any, would be material.

Expenses of the Reorganizations

VALIC or its affiliates will pay the expenses incurred in connection with each Reorganization, including all direct and indirect expenses and out-of-pocket costs other than any transaction costs relating to the sale of each Target Fund’s portfolio securities prior to or after the applicable Reorganization as described in the relevant Reorganization Agreement. VALIC or its affiliates will pay these expenses whether or not a Reorganization is approved at the Special Meeting. Expenses incurred in connection with each Reorganization include, but are not limited to: all costs related to the preparation and distribution of materials distributed to the Boards, including legal and accounting costs; all expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of the Reorganization Agreement and a registration statement on Form N-14; SEC filing fees and legal and audit fees in connection with the Reorganization; the costs of printing and distributing this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement; auditing fees associated with inclusion of each Fund’s financial statements in the Form N-14; tabulation expenses; portfolio transfer taxes (if any); and any similar expenses incurred in connection with the Reorganization.

All other expenses of each of the Funds shall be paid by the applicable Fund. VALIC has estimated that the brokerage commissions and other transactions costs associated with each Reorganization will be minimal, if any. None of the Funds will pay any expenses of shareholders arising out of or in connection with the Reorganizations, except for the estimated broker commissions noted above.

Legal Matters

Certain legal matters concerning the federal income tax consequences of each Reorganization and issuance of shares of each Acquiring Fund will be passed on by Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP and Venable LLP, each special counsel to VC I, respectively, in connection with the Reorganizations.

Shareholder Rights and Obligations

Each of the Acquiring Funds is a series of VC I, a Maryland corporation, and each of the Target Funds is a series of VC II, a Delaware business trust. For purposes of this section, the Trustees of VC I are referred to herein as “Directors,” where applicable.

Maryland Corporations

VC I is an open-end fund organized as a corporation under the laws of the State of Maryland on December 7, 1984. As a Maryland corporation, VC I is governed by the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), its charter (the “Charter”) and bylaws (the “Bylaws”). VC I is currently authorized to issue 45 separate investment portfolios each of which is, in effect, a separate mutual fund issuing its own separate class of common stock. VC I has an authorized capitalization of 37,250,000,000 billion shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, which are authorized to be issued in 45 classes (portfolios) comprising 750 million to 1 billion shares each. The Directors may authorize the creation of additional series or classes of stock in the future. The MGCL and the Charter permit the Board of Directors of VC I to supplement the Charter without a vote of the shareholders to increase the aggregate number of authorized shares or the number of shares of any series or class.

Shareholder Voting. Shareholders of VC I are entitled to one vote per share and fractional votes for fractional shares on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders.

Election and Removal of Directors. Shareholders of VC I may elect Directors at any annual meeting of shareholders or at a special meeting of shareholders that is called for the purpose of electing directors. As permitted by the MGCL for an open-end fund, the Bylaws provide that VC I is not required to hold an annual meeting of shareholders in any year in which the election of Directors is not required by the 1940 Act. A special meeting of shareholders may be called to remove a Director upon the written request of shareholders entitled to cast not less than a majority of all

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the votes entitled to be cast on such matter at such meeting. A Director may be removed, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast generally for the election of Directors.

Issuance of Shares. As permitted by the MGCL and the Charter, the Board of Directors of VC I has the power to authorize the issuance of shares of stock. Prior to issuance of shares of each series or class, the Board may, in its sole discretion, set the terms, preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications and terms or conditions of redemption for each series or class.

Extraordinary Corporate Actions and Charter Amendments. Under the MGCL, a Maryland corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its charter, or engage in a statutory share exchange, merger or consolidation unless declared advisable by the board of directors and approved by a vote of shareholders. Pursuant to amendments to the MGCL that recently became effective for open-end funds such as VC I, these extraordinary corporate actions and charter amendments can be approved by a majority of the entire board of directors and in the manner required by the 1940 Act. Most charter amendments and many corporate actions do not require shareholder approval under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, the Board of VC I could authorize these corporate actions without shareholder approval.

Shareholder, Director and Officer Liability. Under Maryland law, shareholders generally are not personally liable for debts or obligations of a corporation. Maryland law provides that a director who has met his or her statutory standard of conduct has no liability by reason of being or having been a director. The Charter and Bylaws provide that, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, VC I shall indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to any individual who is a present or former Director or officer of VC I and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The indemnification provisions and the limitation on liability are both subject to any limitations of the 1940 Act, which generally provides that no director or officer shall be protected from liability to the corporation or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office. The provisions governing the advance of expenses are subject to applicable requirements of the 1940 Act or rules thereunder and the Charter.

Derivative Actions. Under Maryland law, applicable case law at the time of a particular derivative action will establish any requirements or limitations with respect to shareholder derivative actions.

Delaware Statutory Trusts

VC II is an open-end fund organized as a business trust under the laws of the State of Delaware on May 6, 1998. A Delaware business trust is governed by the Delaware Statutory Trust Act (the “Delaware Act”), its declaration of trust and by-laws (“By-Laws”). VC II is presently authorized to sell 15 series, each of which is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share, divided into classes. The Trustees may authorize the creation of additional classes of shares in the future.

Member Voting. Unless otherwise provided in a declaration of trust, the Delaware Act vests the management of a trust in a trustee. The Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (the “Declaration”) of VC II vests management of each series thereof in the Trustees of VC II and provides that each Trustee shall have all powers necessary and desirable to carry out that responsibility, including those specifically set forth in the Declaration.

Under the Declaration, the Trustees may (i) sell, convey, and transfer all or substantially all of the assets of the Trust, or the assets belonging to any one or more series, to another trust, partnership, association, corporation or other entity organized under the laws of any state of the United States, or may transfer such assets to another series of the Trust, in exchange for cash, shares or other securities (including, in the case of a transfer to another series of the Trust, shares of such other series), (ii) to the extent permitted by law then in effect merge or consolidate the Trust or any series with any other trust or any corporation, partnership, or association organized under the laws of any state of the United States, or (iii) cause the Trust to convert to a corporation, limited liability company or limited liability partnership under the laws of Delaware or any other state or jurisdiction all upon such terms and conditions and for such consideration when and as authorized by vote or written consent of a majority of the Trustees and approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote of each series whose assets are affected by such transaction, or by an instrument or instruments in writing without a meeting, consented to by the holders of not less than a majority of such shares, and/or by such other vote of any series as may be established by the Certificate of Designation with respect to such series.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Election and Removal of Trustees. The Declaration sets forth the Trustees of the Trust and provides that the Trustees serving as such, whether signatories thereto or thereafter becoming Trustees, may increase (to not more than twelve (12)) or decrease the number of Trustees to a number other than the number theretofore determined by a written instrument signed by a majority of the Trustees (or by an officer of the Trust pursuant to the vote of a majority of the Trustees). Subject to Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act and to the Declaration and to any requirements specified in the By-Laws, the Trustees shall have the power to set and alter the terms of office of the Trustees, and at any time to lengthen or shorten their own terms or make their terms of unlimited duration, to elect their own successors and, pursuant to the Declaration, to appoint Trustees to fill vacancies; provided that Trustees shall be elected by a Majority Shareholder Vote (as defined in the Declaration) at any such time or times as the Trustees shall determine that such action is required under Section 16(a) of the 1940 Act or, if not so required, that such action is advisable; and further provided that, after the initial election of Trustees by the shareholders, the term of office of any incumbent Trustee shall continue until the termination of the Trust or his/her earlier death, resignation, retirement, bankruptcy, adjudicated incompetency or other incapacity or removal, or if not so terminated, until the election of such Trustee’s successor in office has become effective in accordance with the Declaration. For purposes of this paragraph, a “Majority Shareholder Vote” shall mean the vote for the election of such Trustee of a plurality of all outstanding shares of the Trust, without regard to series, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, provided that a quorum (as determined in accordance with the Declaration and By-Laws) is present.

Any Trustee may resign his/her trust or retire as a Trustee, by a written instrument signed by him/her and delivered to the other Trustees or to any officer of the Trust, and such resignation or retirement shall take effect upon such delivery or upon such later date as is specified in such instrument. Any Trustee may be removed: (i) by vote of shareholders holding a majority of the shares of the Trust then outstanding, cast in person or by proxy at any meeting called for the purpose; or (ii) by a written declaration signed by shareholders holding not less than a majority of the shares of the Trust then outstanding.

Issuance of Shares. Under the Declaration, the Trustees are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Shareholders are not entitled to any pre-emptive or other right to subscribe to any additional shares of the Trust or series or any securities issued by the Trust. Subject to compliance with the requirements of the 1940 Act, the Trustees shall have the authority to provide that holders of shares of any series shall have the right to convert said shares into shares of one or more other series, that holders of any class of the Trust or a series of shares shall have the right to convert said shares of such class into shares of one or more other classes of the Trust or such series, and that shares of any class of the Trust or a series shall be automatically converted into shares of another class of the Trust or such series, in each case in accordance with such requirements and procedures as the Trustees may establish.

Series. The Declaration provides that the Trustees shall have the authority from time to time to establish and designate one or more separate, distinct and independent series of shares (each of which series shall represent interests only in the asset attributed by the Trustees to such series), and to authorize separate classes of shares of the Trust (or any such series), as they deem necessary or desirable. All shares shall be of one class, provided that the Trustees shall have the power to classify or reclassify any unissued shares of any series into any number of additional classes of such series.

Amendments to the Declaration. Under the Declaration, the provisions of the Declaration (whether or not related to the rights of shareholders) may be amended at any time, so long as such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any shareholder with respect to which such amendment is or purports to be applicable and so long as such amendment is not in contravention of applicable law, including the 1940 Act, by an instrument in writing signed by a majority of the Trustees (or by an officer of the Trust pursuant to the vote of a majority of the Trustees).

Shareholder, Trustee and Officer Liability. The Declaration provides that the Trustees, officers, employees and agents of the Trust, in incurring any debts, liabilities or obligations, or in limiting or omitting any other actions for or in connection with the Trust, are or shall be deemed to be acting as Trustees, officers, employees or agents of the Trust and not in their own capacities. No shareholder shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever in tort, contract or otherwise to any other person or persons in connection with the assets or the affairs of the Trust or of any series, and subject to the Declaration, no Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust shall be subject to any personal liability whatsoever in tort, contract, or otherwise, to any other person or persons in connection with the assets or affairs of the Trust or of any series, save only for liability to the shareholders or the Trust arising from his own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office or the discharge of his functions. The Trust (or if the matter relates only to a particular series, that series) shall be solely liable for any and all debts, claims, demands, judgments, decrees, liabilities or obligations of any and every kind,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

against or with respect to the Trust or such series in tort, contract or otherwise in connection with the assets or the affairs of the Trust or such series, and all persons dealing with the Trust or any series shall be deemed to have agreed that resort shall be had solely to the Trust property of the Trust or the series assets of such series, as the case may be, for the payment or performance thereof.

The Declaration further provides that the Trustees shall use their best efforts to ensure that every note, bond, contract, instrument, certificate or undertaking made or issued by the Trustees or by any officers or officer shall give notice that a Certificate of Trust in respect of the Trust is on file with the Secretary of the state of Delaware and shall recite to the effect that the same was executed or made by or on behalf of the Trust or by them as Trustees or Trustee or as officers or officer, and not individually, and that the obligations of such instrument are not binding upon any of them or the shareholders individually but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Trust, or the particular series in question, as the case may be, but the omission thereof shall not operate to bind any Trustees or Trustee or officers or officer or shareholders or shareholder individually, or to subject the series assets of any series to the obligations of any other series or the Trust generally.

Derivative Actions. Under the Declaration, shareholders shall have power to vote to the same extent as the stockholders of a Delaware business corporation as to whether or not a court action, proceeding or claim should or should not be brought or maintained derivatively or as a class action on behalf of the Trust or any series, or the shareholders of any of them (provided, however, that a shareholder of a particular series shall not in any event be entitled to maintain a derivative or class action on behalf of any other series or the shareholders thereof).

The following description of shareholder rights and obligations is applicable to each of VC I and VC II.

Each outstanding share of a Fund has one vote on all matters that shareholders vote on. Participants vote on these matters indirectly by voting their units. The manner in which participants vote their units depends on their Contract or Plan. See your Contract prospectus or Plan document for specific details. When a matter comes up for vote, the Separate Account will vote its shares in the same proportion as the unit votes it actually receives. If VALIC determines that it may, under the current interpretation of the 1940 Act, vote shares directly instead of voting through its units, it may decide to vote that way.

Shareholder Proposals

Neither Maryland law nor Delaware law requires VC I or VC II, respectively, to hold regular, annual shareholder meetings. However, a Company must hold shareholder meetings on the following matters: (a) to approve certain agreements as required by the 1940 Act; (b) to change fundamental investment restrictions; and (c) to fill vacancies on its respective Board if the shareholders have elected less than a majority of the Trustees. Shareholders who would like to submit proposals for consideration at future shareholder meetings should send written proposals to Kathleen D. Fuentes, Vice President and Secretary of VC I and VC II, Harborside 5, 185 Hudson Street, Suite 3300, Jersey City, NJ 07311. To be considered for presentation at a shareholders’ meeting, rules promulgated by the SEC require that, among other things, a shareholder’s proposal must be received at the offices of the applicable Fund within a reasonable time before a solicitation is made. Timely submission of a proposal does not necessarily mean that such proposal will be included.

Solicitation of Proxies

Solicitations of proxies are being made on behalf of each of the Target Funds and the Board of VC II primarily by the mailing of the Notice and this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement with its enclosures on or about [•]. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by mail, employees of the Target Funds and its affiliates may, without additional compensation, solicit proxies in person or by mail, telephone, facsimile or oral communication. The tabulation and solicitation expenses in connection with the Reorganizations along with certain other reorganizations of other VALIC funds being proposed are estimated to be approximately $1,850,000, all of which will be borne by VALIC or its affiliates. VALIC or its affiliates will also bear any additional costs that may be incurred in connection with contacting those shareholders who have not voted in the event of a need for re-solicitation of votes. Currently, if VALIC determines to retain the services of a proxy solicitation firm on behalf of any of the Target Funds, it anticipates retaining Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Any proxy solicitation firm engaged by VALIC, among other things, will be: (i) required to maintain the confidentiality of all shareholder information; (ii) prohibited from selling or otherwise disclosing shareholder information to any third party; and (iii) required to comply with applicable telemarketing laws.

Questions about the proposal should be directed to Broadridge by telephone toll-free at 1-833-670-0699.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

VOTING INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS

General

This Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the proposed Reorganization of each Target Fund into its respective Acquiring Fund and the solicitation of proxies by and on behalf of the Board for use at the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting will be held virtually on Tuesday, May 11, 2021 at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or at such later time as is made necessary by adjournment or postponement.

As of the Record Date, the Target Funds had the following shares outstanding:

	Target Fund			Shares Outstanding
	Target Small Cap Value Fund			33,063,318
	Target Capital Appreciation Fund			6,475,964
	Target Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund			58,208,587
	Target Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund			69,914,122
	Target Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund			26,968,239
	Target International Opportunities Fund			30,352,112
	Target High Yield Bond Fund			69,819,688
	Target Mid Cap Value Fund			44,489,440
	Target U.S. Socially Responsible Fund			33,695,216

Only shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof. Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share or unit held on that date.

Shareholder Approval

Voting Requirements: Approval by each Target Fund of its proposed Reorganization will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding votes of the Target Fund. Shareholder approval of one Reorganization is not contingent upon shareholder approval of another Reorganization. If a Target Fund’s shareholders fail to approve the applicable proposed Reorganization, the Reorganization will not occur and the Board may consider other alternatives, which may include seeking a merger with a different fund, the liquidation of the Target Fund or continuing current operations of the Target Fund. The Board has fixed the close of business on February 26, 2021 as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting.

Quorum Requirements: With respect to each Target Fund, a quorum for the Special Meeting is present if a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting are present in person (virtually) or by proxy. Abstentions will be treated as present for determining the quorum. Abstentions will not, however, be counted as voting on any matter at the Special Meeting and will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal. As noted above, the Separate Accounts and the Plans own directly nearly all of the outstanding shares of a Target Fund and the Life Companies will vote those shares for which they receive timely voting instructions from shareholders in accordance with those instructions. As a result, a majority of the outstanding shares of a Target Fund will be represented at the Special Meeting and thus a quorum will be present. However, in the event that a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, or in the event that a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve the proposal are not received, the chairman of the Special Meeting or the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of votes. If submitted to shareholders, any such adjournment will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of those shares voting on the adjournment. The persons named as proxies will vote in favor of such adjournment those shares that they are entitled to vote that have voted in favor of the proposal. They will vote against any such adjournment on behalf of those proxies that have voted against the proposal.

Manner of Voting

Target Fund shareholders may authorize their proxy by returning the enclosed proxy card or provide voting instructions by returning the enclosed voting instruction card, as applicable. Target Fund shareholders may also authorize their proxy or provide voting instructions via telephone or Internet using the instructions provided on the

TABLE OF CONTENTS

enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card. A proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise at the Special Meeting by written notice to Kathleen D. Fuentes, Harborside 5, 185 Hudson Street, Suite 3300, Jersey City, NJ 07311. Unless revoked, all valid proxies will be voted in accordance with the specification thereon or, in the absence of specification, for approval of the respective proposal.

Pass Through Voting: Shares of the Funds are sold to Separate Accounts and are used as investment options under Contracts and to Plans and IRA custodians.

Contract owners (including participants in a Plan) who select a Fund for investment through a Contract do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Fund. An insurance company that uses the Funds as a funding vehicle, is, in most cases, the legal shareholder of a Fund and has sole voting power with respect to the shares, but generally will pass through any voting rights to Contract owners. Therefore, for Fund shares owned through a Separate Account that is registered with the SEC, a Life Company will request voting instructions from the Contract owner and will vote shares or other interests in the Separate Account as directed by the Contract owner. In the event that any Contract owner fails to provide voting instructions with respect to the Separate Account, the Life Company will vote the shares attributable to that Contract owner for, against, or abstain, in the same proportion as the shares for which voting instructions were received from Contract owners investing through the same Separate Account, even if only a small number of Contract owners provide voting instructions. The effect of proportional voting is that if a large number of Contract owners fail to give voting instructions, a small number of Contract owners may determine the outcome of the vote.

Shares of the Funds are also sold directly to Plans and to IRA custodians. These shares (owned outside of a Contract) are voted directly. A Plan or IRA custodial account that includes a Fund as an investment option, is, in most cases, the legal shareholder of the Fund and, as such, has sole voting power with respect to the shares, but in most cases will pass through any voting rights to Plan participants or IRA owners who have an interest in the Fund. If proxies for directly held shares are not returned, the shares will not be voted.

Voting by Mail: To vote by mail, you should date and sign the proxy card or voting instruction card, as applicable, included with this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, indicate your vote on the proposal, and return the form in the envelope provided. Please mail it early enough to be delivered prior to the Special Meeting.

Voting by Telephone: You may use the automated touch-tone voting method by calling the toll-free number provided on the proxy card or voting instruction card, as applicable. At the prompt, follow the menu. Prior to calling, you should read this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement and have your proxy card or voting instruction card at hand.

Internet Voting. To vote over the Internet, please log on to the website listed on your proxy card or voting instruction card, as applicable, and click on the proxy voting button. Prior to logging on, you should read this Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement and have your proxy card or voting instruction card at hand. After logging on, follow the instructions on the screen. If you receive more than one proxy card or voting instruction card, you may vote them during the same session.

Additional Information. Shareholders voting their proxies or providing voting instructions by telephone or Internet need not return their voting proxy card or instruction card by mail.

A person submitting votes by telephone or Internet is deemed to represent that he or she is authorized to vote on behalf of all owners of the account, including spouses or other joint owners. By using the telephone or the Internet to submit voting instructions, the shareholder is authorizing Broadridge, a tabulation agent, and its agents, to execute a proxy to vote the shareholder’s shares at the Special Meeting as the shareholder has indicated.

Each Target Fund believes that the procedures for authorizing the execution of a proxy by telephone or Internet set forth above are reasonably designed to ensure that the identity of the shareholder casting the vote is accurately determined and that the voting instructions of the shareholder are accurately recorded.

You are requested to fill in, sign and return the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card, as applicable, promptly. No postage is necessary if mailed in the United States.

FUNDAMENTAL AND NON-FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

Each of VC I and VC II, on behalf of the relevant Fund(s), has adopted certain fundamental investment restrictions which cannot be changed without approval by a majority of its outstanding voting securities. A majority of the outstanding voting securities is defined as the vote of the lesser of (i) 67% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund present at a meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding voting shares are present in person or by proxy or (ii) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Non-fundamental investment restrictions or operating policies may be changed by the respective Board without shareholder approval. The fundamental and non-fundamental investment restrictions and operating policies of each Fund are listed below. The percentage limitations referenced in some of the restrictions are to be determined at the time of purchase. However, percentage limitations for illiquid investments and borrowings apply at all times. Calculation of each Fund’s total assets for compliance with any of the investment restrictions or any other restrictions will not include cash collateral held in connection with securities lending activities.

Further, regarding the securities of one or more issuers conducting their principal business activities in the same industry: (i) there is no limitation with respect to obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, any state, territory or possession of the United States, the District of Columbia or any of their authorities, agencies, instrumentalities or political subdivisions and repurchase agreements secured by such instruments, (ii) wholly-owned finance companies will be considered to be in the industries of their parents if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of the parents, (iii) utilities will be divided according to their services, for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and gas, electric and telephone will each be considered a separate industry, and (iv) personal credit and business credit businesses will be considered separate industries.

STATEMENT OF ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

[•], 2021

This Statement of Additional Information (the “SAI”) relates to the proposed reorganizations (each, a “Reorganization”) of the Small Cap Value Fund, the Capital Appreciation Fund, the Aggressive Growth Lifestyle Fund, the Moderate Growth Lifestyle Fund, the Conservative Growth Lifestyle Fund, the International Opportunities Fund, the High Yield Bond Fund, the Mid Cap Value Fund and/or the U.S. Socially Responsible Fund, each a series of VALIC Company II (“VC II”) (each, a “Target Fund” and collectively, the “Target Funds”), into corresponding series of VALIC Company I (“VC I”) with the same name (each, an “Acquiring Fund” and collectively, the “Acquiring Funds”). The Target Funds and the Acquiring Funds are collectively referred to as the “Funds” and each, a “Fund.”

This SAI contains information which may be of interest to shareholders of each Target Fund relating to the applicable Reorganization, but which is not included in the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement dated [•] (the “Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement”). As described in the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement, each Reorganization would involve the transfer of all of the assets and liabilities of the relevant Target Fund in exchange for shares of the relevant Acquiring Fund. Each Target Fund will distribute the Acquiring Fund shares it receives to its shareholders in complete liquidation of the Target Fund.

This SAI is not a prospectus, and should be read in conjunction with the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement. The Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and is available upon request and without charge by writing to the Acquiring Fund, c/o VALIC Company I, 2919 Allen Parkway, Houston, Texas 77019 or by calling 800.445.7862.

Capitalized terms used in this SAI and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given them in the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE TARGET FUNDS AND THE ACQUIRING FUNDS

For each of the Acquiring Funds: Incorporated by reference is the Statement of Additional Information for VC I in the Registration Statement on Form N-1A of VC I dated February 4, 2021, solely as it relates to the Acquiring Funds, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Securities Act File No. 002-83631)

For the Target Funds: Incorporated by reference is the Statement of Additional Information for VC II in the Registration Statement on Form N-1A of VC II dated January 1, 2021, solely as it relates to the Target Funds, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Securities Act File No. 333-53589).

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Each of the Acquiring Funds is recently organized and, as such, there are no financial statements for the Acquiring Funds. For each of the Target Funds, this SAI incorporates by reference the Annual Report of VC II solely with respect to the Fund for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2020, which has been filed with the SEC. The Annual Report contains historical financial information regarding the relevant Fund(s). The financial statements and the report of the independent registered public accounting firm in the Annual Report of VC II solely with respect to the Target Funds (filed via EDGAR on November 6, 2020, Accession No. 0001193125-20-287671), are each incorporated herein by reference.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION

A table showing the fees of each Acquiring Fund and each Target Fund, and the fees and expenses of each Acquiring Fund on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed Reorganizations, is included in the section entitled “Summary – Fees and Expenses” of the Combined Prospectus/Proxy Statement.

Each Reorganization will not result in a material change to a Target Fund’s investment portfolio due to the investment restrictions of the respective Acquiring Fund. As a result, a schedule of investments of each Target Fund modified to show the effects of the change is not required and is not included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, changes may be made to a Target Fund’s portfolio in advance of the Reorganization and/or the Acquiring Fund’s portfolio following the Reorganization.

There are no material differences in accounting policies of each Target Fund as compared to those of the respective Acquiring Fund.

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION

Article IX of the Registrant’s Restated Articles

(a) The Corporation shall indemnify or advance any expenses to Directors and officers to the extent permitted or required by Section 2-418 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, provided, however, that the Corporation shall only be required to indemnify or advance expenses to any person pursuant to Section 2-418(j)(3) of the Maryland General Corporation Law to the extent specifically approved by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors.

(b) The indemnification provided hereunder shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director or officer, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

(c) Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to protect any Director or officer of the Corporation against any liability to the Corporation or its security holders to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of duties involved in the conduct of his office (“Disabling Conduct”). The means for determining whether indemnification shall be made shall be (i) a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the proceeding was brought that the person to be indemnified (“Indemnitee”) was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, or (ii) in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, by (a) the vote of a majority of a quorum of Directors who are neither “interested persons” of the Corporation nor parties to the proceeding (“Disinterested Non-Party Directors”), or (b) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

(d) Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to permit the advancement of legal expenses for the defense of a proceeding brought by the Corporation or its security holders against a Director or officer of the Corporation unless an undertaking is furnished by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that he is entitled to indemnification, and the Indemnitee complies with at least one of the following conditions: (i) the Indemnitee shall provide a security for his undertaking, (ii) the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances, or (iii) a majority of a quorum of the Disinterested Non-Party Directors, or an independent legal counsel in a written opinion, shall determine, based on a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry), that there is reason to believe that the Indemnitee ultimately will be found entitled to indemnification.

Article XI of the Registrant’s By-laws

To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, the Corporation shall indemnify and, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification, shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to (a) any individual who is a present or former Director or officer of the Corporation and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity or (b) any individual who, while a Director or officer of the Corporation and at the request of the Corporation, serves or has served as a Director, officer, partner, trustee, member or manager of another corporation, real estate investment trust, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise and who is made or threatened to be made a party to the proceeding by reason of his or her service in that capacity. The rights to indemnification and advance of expenses provided by the charter of the Corporation and these Bylaws shall vest immediately upon election of a Director or officer. The Corporation may, with the approval of its Board of Directors, provide such indemnification and advance for expenses to an individual who served a predecessor of the Corporation in any of the capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of the Corporation or a predecessor of the Corporation. Any indemnification or advance of expenses made pursuant to this Article XI shall be subject to applicable requirements of the Investment Company Act and of the charter of the Corporation. The indemnification and payment or reimbursement of expenses provided in these Bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of or limit in any way other rights to which any person seeking indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses may be or may become entitled under any bylaw, resolution, insurance, agreement or otherwise.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article XI, nor the adoption or amendment of any other provision of the charter of the Corporation or these Bylaws inconsistent with this Article XI, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of the preceding paragraph with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such amendment, repeal or adoption.

Registrant has purchased and maintains liability insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or agent against any liabilities arising from such status. In this regard, Registrant maintains a Directors’ & Officers’ Professional Liability Insurance Policy of $50 million in the aggregate.

Section 3 of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the Registrant and VALIC provides that VALIC shall not be liable to the Registrant, or to any shareholder of the Registrant, for any act or omission in rendering services under the Agreement, or for any losses sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any portfolio security, so long as there has been no willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties on the part of VALIC.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the 1933 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
