All disclosure changes included in this response will be made to the registration statement referenced above.
Prospectus Comments
1. Staff Comment: SPECIAL TERMS. In response to previous comments 3 and 4, the Company revised the applicable definitions, please further revise the disclosure to clearly and explicitly explain the difference between the terms and the consequences of classifying Basic Face Amount and Face Amount and Coverage Layer and Basic Coverage Layer.
Response: We have revised the definitions to reflect that, for the purposes of this product and current prospectus, the Basic Life Coverage Layer will always equal the Coverage Layer. In addition, we have more clearly defined the applicable terms.
2. Staff Comment: DEATH BENEFITS - Death Benefit Options. Please revise so that an investor can more easily understand the benefits and drawbacks for each Death Benefit Option based on the factors listed in the introductory paragraph.
Response: We have made revisions to this section including the addition of a table that is intended to allow an investor to more easily understand the benefits and drawbacks of each Death Benefit Option.
