In addition to the above changes, dates and certain other information have been updated or marked as to be determined and some minor changes were made to the “Available Funds” section of the prospectuses.
Using ONcore Lite (File No. 333-52006) as a template for the other Ohio National Variable Account A products, the changes in the prospectuses are substantially the same except for:
| • | | The ONcore Xtra (File No. 333-86603) prospectus contains slightly different language on page 31 in the “Optional Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (‘GMIB’) Riders” section. This language will be changed to be consistent with the other filings prior to becoming effective. |
| • | | In the “Death Benefit” section, the ONcore Xtra (File No. 333-86603), ONcore Value (File No. 333-43513) and ONcore Premier (File No. 333-43515) have a stepped-up death benefit amount if the contract has been in effect for, respectively, eight, six and three years. |
Using NScore Lite (File No. 333-76352) as a template for the other National Security Variable Account N products, the changes in the prospectuses are substantially the same except for:
| • | | In the “Death Benefit” section, the NScore Xtra (File No. 333-76350), NScore Value (File No. 333-131513) and NScore Premier (File No. 333-125856) have a stepped-up death benefit amount if the contract has been in effect for, respectively, eight, six and three years. |
