EXHIBIT E HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE Allianz Life periodically advertises performance of the Variable Options. Allianz Life will calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an Accumulation Unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the Accumulation Unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number, reflected in the charts below, reflects the deduction of the annual insurance charge of 0.60%, or 2% with the LifeFund Benefits, and the Portfolio expenses, but not the annual surrender charges, premium fees, administrative charges, rider charges, the No Lapse Guarantee charges, or cost of insurance charge. If they were included performance would be lower. Allianz Life may also advertise cumulative total return information. Cumulative total return is determined the same way except that the results are not annualized. Performance may be shown from sub-account inception or, if earlier, Portfolio inception. Performance information for the underlying Portfolios may also be advertised; see the fund prospectuses for more information. Upon request, Allianz Life will accompany the returns of the Variable Options with an illustration as described in Appendix A to the Prospectus. The illustration will show you how Policy Values, Cash Surrender Values and death benefits of your Policy will change with the investment experience of the portfolios. The Policy Values, Cash Surrender Values and death benefits in the illustration will take into account all charges and deductions against the Policy. The illustration is hypothetical and may not be used to project or predict investment results. It will be based on the attained age, sex, (where permitted by state law) and rate class of the proposed insured for the Face Amount or premium requested. Since the rates of return in the charts below do not reflect all charges, they are not illustrative of how actual investment performance will affect benefits under the Policy. For a discussion of Policy charges, please see section 4 - Expenses in the Prospectus. Any performance advertised will be based on historical data. It does not guarantee future results of the Portfolios.
