Guaranteed Accumulation Account |
|
Supplement dated August30, 2010 to the |
Guaranteed Accumulation Account Prospectus dated April 30, 2010 |
|
The following information updates and amends certain information contained in your Guaranteed Accumulation Account |
Prospectus. Please read it carefully and keep it with your current Guaranteed Accumulation Account Prospectus for future |
reference. | | |
|
The following describes changes applicable to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account (GAA) for variable annuity contracts |
issued on or after September 27, 2010, or upon state insurance department approval, whichever is later, and restates |
information applicable to contracts issued prior to September 27, 2010, or before state insurance department approval, |
whichever is later. | | |
|
1. | The following replaces the second paragraph of the “Guaranteed Interest Rates” section on page 3 of the Contract |
| Prospectus: | | |
|
| The guaranteed interest rates we offer will always meet or exceed the minimum interest rates agreed to in the contract. |
| Not all contracts provide for minimum interest rates for the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. Apart from meeting |
| the contractual minimum interest rates (if any), we can in no way guarantee any aspect of future offerings. |
|
2. | The following replaces the second paragraph of the “Guaranteed Terms of Greater than One Year” section on page 8 of |
| the Contract Prospectus: | |
|
| We will not guarantee or credit a guaranteed interest rate below the minimum rate specified in the contract for the |
| Guaranteed Accumulation Account (if any), nor will we credit interest at a rate above the guaranteed interest rate we |
| announce prior to the start of a deposit period. | |
|
3. | The following replaces the “Calculation of the MVA,” “Deposit Period Yield,” “Current Yield,” and “MVA Formula” |
| sections on page 13-14 of the Contract Prospectus: | |
|
Calculation of the MVA | | |
|
For contracts issued on or after to September 27, 2010 (or upon state insurance department approval, whichever is later), |
the amount of the MVA depends on the relationship between: | |
| >The average corporate bond yield (US Treasury Rate plus spread over Treasury) of the month of |
| deposit for the corresponding guaranteed term; and | |
| >The current corporate bond yield (US Treasury Rate plus spread over Treasury) at the time of |
| withdrawal for a period equal to the remainder of the guaranteed term. | |
|
If the current corporate bond yield at the time of withdrawal is less than the average corporate bond yield of the month of |
deposit, the MVA will decrease the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term to satisfy a transfer or withdrawal request |
(the MVA will be positive). If the current corporate bond yield at the time of withdrawal is greater than the average |
corporate bond yield of the month of deposit, the MVA will increase the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term (the |
MVA will be negative). | | |
|
For contracts issued prior to September 27, 2010 (or before state insurance department approval, whichever is later), the |
amount of the MVA depends on the relationship between: | |
| >The deposit period yield of U.S. Treasury Notes that will mature in the last quarter of the guaranteed |
| term; and | | |
| >The current yield of such U.S. Treasury Notes at the time of withdrawal. | |
|
If the current yield is less than the deposit period yield, the MVA will decrease the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed |
term to satisfy a transfer or withdrawal request (the MVA will be positive). If the current yield is greater than the deposit |
period yield, the MVA will increase the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term (the MVA will be negative). |

Examples of Market Value Adjustment Calculations |
|
The following are examples of market value adjustment ("MVA") calculations using several hypothetical yields, |
applicable to contracts issued on or after to September 27, 2010 (or upon state insurance department approval, |
whichever is later). These examples do not include the effect of any early withdrawal charge or other fees that may be |
assessed under the contract upon withdrawal. |

Examples of Market Value Adjustment at Various Yields |
|
|
The following hypothetical examples show the market value adjustment based on a given: a) current corporate bond yield |
(US Treasury Rate plus spread over Treasury) for contracts issued on or after to September 27, 2010 (or upon state |
insurance department approval, whichever is later); or b) current yield for contracts issued prior to September 27, 2010 (or |
before state insurance department approval, whichever is later), at time of withdrawal for various times remaining in the |
guaranteed term. Table A illustrates the application of the market value adjustment based on an average corporate bond |
yield or deposit period yield of the month of deposit of 6%; Table B illustrates the application of the market value |
adjustment based on an average corporate bond yield or deposit period yield of the month of deposit of 5%. The market |
value adjustment will have either a positive or negative influence on the amount withdrawn from or remaining in a |
guaranteed term. Also, the amount of the market value adjustment generally decreases as the end of the guaranteed term |
approaches. | | | | | | | |
