ReliaStar designed the Policy to provide (1) a death benefit payable at the Surviving Joint Insured's death; and (2) maximum flexibility regarding premium payments and death benefits. Subject to certain restrictions, Policy owners may: o vary the frequency and amount of premium payments; o increase or decrease the level of death benefits payable under the Policy; and o allocate premiums to: -- the Fixed Account, an account that provides a minimum specified rate of interest; and -- Sub-Accounts of Select*Life Variable Account, a variable account allowing you to invest in certain portfolios of the following Funds: AIM Variable Insurance Funds Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust The Alger American Fund OCC Accumulation Trust Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund Pilgrim Variable Products Trust Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Fund II Putnam Variable Trust Janus Aspen Series If you allocate net premiums to Sub-Accounts of Select*Life Variable Account, the amount of the Policy's death benefit may, and the total value attributed to a Policy will, vary to reflect the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts you select. The Policy's primary purpose is to provide insurance protection for the beneficiary. ReliaStar does not claim that investing in the Policy is in any way similar or comparable to a systematic investment plan of a mutual fund. Generally, the Policy will remain in force as long as the cash surrender value (that is, the amount that ReliaStar would pay if you surrender the Policy) is sufficient to pay certain monthly charges. However, under certain circumstances the Policy provides a death benefit guarantee that allows the Policy to remain in force without regard to the cash surrender value (See "Death Benefit Guarantee"). INTERESTS IN THE POLICIES AND SHARES OF THE FUNDS ARE NOT DEPOSITS OR OBLIGATIONS OF OR GUARANTEED BY A BANK, AND ARE NOT FEDERALLY INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION HAS NOT APPROVED THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED THAT THIS PROSPECTUS IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE. Please read this prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference. Call 1-800-456-6965 to obtain a current prospectus for any of the Funds.

THE POLICY The Accumulation SVUL is a survivorship flexible premium variable life insurance contract with death benefits, cash values, and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. The Policies are: o "SURVIVORSHIP" because the death benefit is paid at the Surviving Joint Insured's death; o "FLEXIBLE PREMIUM" because you do not have to pay premiums according to a fixed schedule; and o "VARIABLE" because Accumulation Values and, under certain circumstances, the Death Benefit will increase and decrease based on the investment performance of the Funds corresponding to the Sub-Accounts to which you allocate your premium payments. Under current Federal tax law, as long as the Policy qualifies as life insurance, Accumulation Value increases will be subject to the same Federal income tax treatment as traditional life insurance cash values. Therefore, any increases should accumulate on a tax deferred basis until you request a distribution. See "Federal Tax Matters -- Tax Status of the Policy." The following chart outlines the various features, charges, and expenses of the Policies. Additional detailed information pertaining to charges and expenses is contained in this Summary and in "Deductions and Charges."

See "Free Look and Conversion Rights -- Free Look Rights." o Certain states may require a longer period of time for the free look period and refund a different amount. PREMIUM PAYMENTS o You choose when to pay and how much to pay. o We may refuse to accept any premium less than $25. o You cannot pay additional premiums after Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured except as needed to keep your Policy in force for the remainder of the current Policy Year. o We may refuse any premium that would disqualify your Policy as life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code. o You may pay enough premiums to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee in order to keep the Policy in force during at least the first several Policy Years. See "Death Benefit Guarantee" and "Payment and Allocation of Premiums -- Amount and Timing of Premiums." o We deduct a Premium Expense Charge (currently 6.25% of each premium payment in Policy Years 1-10 and 3.75% (guaranteed not to exceed 6.25%) of each premium after the tenth Policy Year) and credit the remaining premium (the Net Premium) to the Variable Account or the Fixed Account according to your instructions. See "Deductions and Charges -- Premium Expense Charge." THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT o Select*Life Variable Account is one of our (Select*Life Variable separate accounts and consists of several Account) Sub-Accounts. We only invest premiums from our variable life insurance policies in the Variable Account. o We invest any Net Premiums you allocate to each Sub-Account in shares of the Fund related to that Sub-Account. o Variable Accumulation Value will vary with the investment performance of the Funds and the charges deducted from the Variable Accumulation Value. See "Accumulation Value." THE FIXED ACCOUNT o Consists of all of our assets other than those in our separate accounts (including the Variable Account). o We credit interest of at least 3% per year on any amounts you allocate to the Fixed Account. o We may, in our sole discretion, credit interest in excess of 3%. See Appendix A, "The Fixed Account." THE FUNDS o You can instruct ReliaStar to place your Net Premium in, or transfer to, the following investment portfolios. 8 The following chart lists the currently available Funds and outlines certain of their important characteristics.

CHARGES AGAINST PREMIUM PAYMENTS We will deduct the Premium Expense Charge from each premium payment. The Premium Expense Charge is guaranteed not to exceed 6.25% of each premium payment. The charge is currently 6.25% of each premium payment in Policy Years 1-10 and 3.75% of each premium after the tenth Policy Year. See "Deductions and Charges -- Premium Expense Charge." CHARGES AGAINST THE ACCUMULATION VALUE The Accumulation Value of the Policy is subject to the Monthly Deduction charges. We will deduct the Monthly Deduction each month from both the Fixed Accumulation Value and the Variable Accumulation Value on a proportionate basis depending on their relative Accumulation Values at that time. See "Deductions and Charges -- Monthly Deduction". The Monthly Deduction includes: o A charge for the cost of insurance -- varies based on each Joint Insured's sex, Issue Age, Policy Year, Rate Class and Face Amount. 11 o Monthly Administrative Charge -- currently $8.25 per month and guaranteed not to exceed $12.00 per month. o Monthly Mortality and Expense Risk Charge -- during the first 10 Policy Years it is equal to 1/12 of .90% of the Variable Accumulation Value. Each month thereafter it is 1/12 of .25% of the Variable Accumulation Value but guaranteed not to exceed 1/12 of .90% of the Variable Accumulation Value. o Monthly Amount Charge -- a monthly charge that varies by the Issue Age and Rate Class of each Joint Insured and the Face Amount, and is assessed during the first 20 Policy Years (and first 20 years after a Face Amount increase). o Any charges for optional insurance benefits -- vary depending upon the benefit(s) selected. CHARGE UPON LAPSE OR TOTAL SURRENDER OF THE POLICY o We assess a Surrender Charge if your Policy lapses or if you surrender the Policy during the first 15 Policy Years (or during the first 15 years following a Face Amount increase). o We will determine the maximum Surrender Charge for the initial Face Amount and any requested increases in Face Amount on the Policy Date and on the effective date of any such requested increase. o The maximum Surrender Charge for the initial Face Amount will depend on the initial Face Amount, and the Issue Age, Sex and Rate Class of each Joint Insured. o You do not pay this charge if the Policy remains in force during the entire relevant 15-year period. See "Deductions and Charges -- Surrender Charge". SURRENDERS o In general, you will receive the Cash Surrender Value if you surrender the Policy. o To determine the Cash Surrender Value, we reduce your Accumulation Value by the Surrender Charge (applicable for 15 years from Policy Issue Date and increase in Face Amount), and any Loan Amount and unpaid Monthly Deductions. See "Surrender Benefits -- Total Surrender". o The maximum Surrender Charge on the Initial Face Amount and any subsequent Face Amount increases will be calculated for each Policy and will be shown in your Policy. This maximum charge then remains level during the first five years (adjusted for increases in the first three years) in the relevant 15 year period, and then reduces in equal monthly increments until it becomes zero at the end of 15 years. PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS o Once each Policy Year, you can withdraw part of your Cash Surrender Value. o You will not incur a Surrender Charge, but partial withdrawals are subject to a processing charge (currently $10, guaranteed not to exceed $25). See "Surrender Benefits -- Partial Withdrawal". LOANS o Depending on your state of residence, you can borrow up to 90% of your Policy's Cash Value less any existing Loan Amount. o Interest is payable in advance for each Policy Year and accrues daily at an effective annual rate that will not exceed 4.762%. o After the 10th Policy Year, we currently charge interest at an annual rate of 2.913% (guaranteed not to exceed 3.382%) on the portion of your Loan Amount that is not in excess of (1) the Accumulation Value, less (2) the total of all premiums paid net of all partial withdrawals. o We reserve the right to limit borrowing during the first Policy Year. See "Policy Loans". 12 TRANSFERS o Currently, you can transfer all or part of your Accumulation Value among the investment options. o We currently do not limit the number of transfers per Policy Year. We reserve the right to limit you to 12 transfers per policy year. o There are certain restrictions on transfers from the Fixed Account. o We currently make no charge for the first 24 transfers in a Policy Year. We make a $25 charge for each subsequent transfer. We reserve the right to make a maximum charge of $25 for each transfer. See "Transfers". DEATH BENEFIT OVERVIEW You can choose one of three Death Benefit Options: o Level Amount Option -- whereby the Death Benefit before Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured is the greater of the Face Amount or the corridor percentage of Accumulation Value; o Variable Amount Option -- whereby the Death Benefit before Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured is equal to the greater of the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value, or the corridor percentage of Accumulation Value; or o Face Plus Premium Amount Option -- whereby the Death Benefit before Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured is the greater of the Face Amount plus premiums less withdrawals, or the corridor percentage of the Accumulation Value. See "Death Benefit". The Death Benefit before Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured under the Level Amount Option and the Variable Amount Option will never be less than the Face Amount as long as the Policy is in force and there is no Loan Amount or unpaid Monthly Deduction. The Death Benefit before Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured under the Face Plus Premium Amount Option may be less than the Face Amount if cumulative withdrawals exceed cumulative premiums paid. After Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured, the Death Benefit under all Death Benefit Options will be the Accumulation Value. We will reduce the proceeds payable upon the death of the Surviving Joint Insured under any Death Benefit Option by any Loan Amount and any unpaid Monthly Deductions. ADJUSTING THE DEATH BENEFIT After the first four Policy Years, you have flexibility to adjust the Death Benefit by increasing or decreasing the Face Amount. You cannot decrease the Face Amount below the Minimum Face Amount shown in the Policy. Any increase in the Face Amount may require additional evidence of insurability satisfactory to us and will result in additional charges. See "Death Benefit -- Requested Changes in Face Amount". Generally, you may also change the Death Benefit Option at any time after the fourth Policy Year. See "Death Benefit -- Change in Death Benefit Option". See "Death Benefit -- Insurance Protection" for a discussion of available techniques to adjust the amount of insurance protection to satisfy changing insurance needs. DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE If you meet the requirements for the Death Benefit Guarantee, we will not lapse your Policy during the Death Benefit Guarantee Period even if the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction that is due. See "Death Benefit Guarantee". LAPSE If the Death Benefit Guarantee is not in effect, the Policy will lapse if the Cash Surrender Value is less than the Monthly Deduction due and if you do not make a sufficient payment during the grace period of 61 days. See "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement". TAXATION OF DEATH BENEFIT PROCEEDS Under current Federal tax law, as long as the Policy qualifies as life insurance the Death Benefit under the Policy will be subject to the same Federal income tax treatment as proceeds of traditional life insurance. Therefore, the Death Benefit should not be taxable income to the beneficiary. See "Federal Tax Matters -- Tax Status of the Policy". 13 TAXATION OF THE POLICY The Company intends for the Policy to satisfy the definition of a life insurance contract under Section 7702 of the Code. Under certain circumstances, a Policy could be treated as a "modified endowment contract." The Company will monitor Policies and will attempt to notify an owner on a timely basis if his or her Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a modified endowment contract. See "Federal Tax Matters" for further discussion of the tax status of a Policy and the tax consequences of being treated as a life insurance contract or a modified endowment contract. A Policy lapse, surrender, partial withdrawal or loan may have adverse tax consequences in certain circumstances. See "Federal Tax Matters." PART 2. DETAILED INFORMATION RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY ReliaStar Life Insurance Company is a stock life insurance company organized in 1885 and incorporated under the laws of the State of Minnesota. We offer individual life insurance and annuities, employee benefits and retirement contracts. Our Home Office is at 20 Washington Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 (telephone 612-372-5507). We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V. ING is a global financial institution active in the field of insurance, banking, and asset management in more than 60 countries, with almost 90,000 employees. From time to time, we may publish in advertisements, sales literature, and reports, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Duff & Phelps. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect our financial strength and/or claims-paying ability and should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of assets held in the Variable Account. Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of many insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best's Ratings. These ratings reflect their current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health insurance industry. We have been assigned a rating of A+ by A.M. Best, which is a rating assigned to companies demonstrating superior overall performance and a very strong ability to meet obligations to policyholders over a long period. Such ratings do not reflect the investment in the Variable Account. ReliaStar is a charter member of the Insurance Marketplace Standard Association ("IMSA"). Companies that belong to IMSA subscribe to a rigorous set of standards that cover the various aspects of sales and service for individually sold life insurance and annuities. IMSA members have adopted policies and procedures that demonstrate a commitment to honesty, fairness and integrity in all customer contacts involving sales and service of individual life insurance and annuity products. THE POLICIES The Policies are survivorship flexible premium variable life insurance contracts with death benefits, cash values, and other features of traditional life insurance contracts. DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES We deduct certain charges in connection with the Policy to compensate us for (1) providing the insurance benefits of the Policy (including any riders), (2) administering the Policy, (3) assuming certain risks in connection with the Policy, and (4) incurring expenses in distributing the Policy. We deduct some charges from each premium payment. We deduct certain other charges monthly from both the Fixed Account and the Variable Account. We also assess a charge for each partial withdrawal and we may assess a charge for each transfer. We may realize a profit on one or more of these charges, such as the mortality and expense risk charge. We may use any such profits for any proper corporate purpose, including, among other things, payments of sales expenses. PREMIUM EXPENSE CHARGE We deduct the Premium Expense Charge from each premium payment. The Premium Expense Charge is guaranteed not to exceed 6.25% of each premium payment. The charge is currently 6.25% of 14 each premium payment in Policy Years 1-10 and 3.75% of each premium after the tenth Policy Year. The amount remaining after we deduct the Premium Expense Charge is called the Net Premium. This charge compensates us for the costs we incur in selling the Policy and for the costs of various state and local taxes, as well as the cost of the federal income tax on imputed deferred acquisition costs. MONTHLY DEDUCTION We deduct the charges described below from the Accumulation Value of the Policy on a monthly basis. The total of these charges is called the Monthly Deduction. We will deduct the Monthly Deduction on each Monthly Anniversary from the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account on a proportionate basis depending on their relative Accumulation Values at that time. For purposes of determining these proportions, we reduce the Fixed Accumulation Value by the Loan Amount. Because the cost of insurance portion of the Monthly Deduction can vary from month to month, the Monthly Deduction itself will vary in amount from month to month. If the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction on a Monthly Anniversary, the Policy may lapse. See "Death Benefit Guarantee" and "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement". COST OF INSURANCE. We will determine the monthly cost of insurance by multiplying the applicable cost of insurance rate or rates by the net amount at risk under the Policy. The net amount at risk under the Policy for a Policy Month is (1) the Death Benefit at the beginning of the Policy Month divided by 1.00002466 (which reduces the net amount at risk, solely for purposes of computing the cost of insurance, by taking into account assumed monthly earnings at an annual rate of 3%), less (2) the Accumulation Value at the beginning of the Policy Month (reduced by any charges for rider benefits). As a result, the net amount at risk may be affected by changes in the Accumulation Value or in the Death Benefit. The Rate Class of any Joint Insured may affect the cost of insurance. A Rate Class is a group of Insureds we determine based upon our expectation that they will have similar mortality experience. We currently place Insureds into standard Rate Classes or into substandard Rate Classes that involve a higher mortality risk. In an otherwise identical Policy, an Insured in the standard Rate Class will have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in a Rate Class with higher mortality risks. If there is an increase in the Face Amount and the Rate Class applicable to the increase is different from that for the initial Face Amount or any prior requested increases in Face Amount, the net amount at risk will be calculated separately for each Rate Class. For purposes of determining the net amount at risk for each Rate Class, we will first assume the Accumulation Value to be part of the initial Face Amount. If the Accumulation Value is greater than the initial Face Amount, it will then be assumed to be part of each increase in order, starting with the first increase. We base cost of insurance rates on the sex, Issue Age, Policy Year and Rate Class(es) of each Joint Insured. The actual monthly cost of insurance rates will reflect our expectations as to future experience. They will not, however, be greater than the guaranteed cost of insurance rates shown in the Policy, which are based on the Commissioner's 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables for smokers or nonsmokers, respectively. MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE. Each month we deduct an administrative charge of $8.25 which is guaranteed not to exceed $12.00 each month. MONTHLY AMOUNT CHARGE. Each month during the first 20 Policy Years (and for 20 years following any requested increase in Face Amount) we will deduct a monthly charge per $1,000 of Face Amount. For a Policy issued in New Jersey, the reduction of these charges after the first 20 Policy Years is not guaranteed, and these charges may be assessed for the duration of the Policy. The amount of this charge will vary by the Face Amount and the Rate Class and Issue Age of each Joint Insured on the Policy Date (or on the effective date of any Face Amount increase). These Monthly Amount Charges are shown in Appendix C. Any decreases in Face Amount or any change in Face Amount resulting from a change in the Death Benefit Option will not affect the Monthly Amount Charge. The maximum amount of this charge is $0.75 per $1,000 of Face Amount for a two Joint Insureds both Issue Age 85. Most Policies will have a lower Monthly Amount Charge. This charge compensates us for expenses relating to the distribution of the Policy, including agents' commissions, advertising, and the printing of the prospectus and sales literature for new sales of the Policy. A portion of this charge may also contribute to Company profits. 15 MONTHLY MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE. Each month during the first 10 Policy Years we will deduct a charge at an annual rate of .90% of the Variable Accumulation Value of the Policy. Each month thereafter, it is currently anticipated that we will deduct this charge at an annual rate of .25% of the Variable Accumulation Value but in no event will it exceed .90% for the duration of the Policy. The mortality risk assumed is that Joint Insureds may live for a shorter period of time than we estimated and that, as a result, we would have to pay a greater amount in Death Benefits than we collect in premium payments. The expense risk assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and administering the Policy will be greater than we estimated. OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFIT CHARGES. Each month we deduct charges for any optional insurance benefits added to the Policy by rider. See "General Provisions -- Optional Insurance Benefits". SURRENDER CHARGE GENERAL. During the first 15 Policy years and during the first 15 years following any requested increase in Face Amount, we make a Surrender Charge if you surrender the Policy or the Policy lapses. The Surrender Charge will not be affected by any decrease in Face Amount or by any change in Face Amount resulting from a change in the Death Benefit Option. The Surrender Charge imposed upon early surrender or lapse will be significant. For example, if you make premium payments no greater than the Minimum Monthly payments specified in your Policy, you can expect that during at least the early Policy Years, all or substantially all of your premium payments will be required to pay the Surrender Charge and other charges associated with the Policy. As a result, you should purchase a Policy only if you have the financial capability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time. SURRENDER CHARGE. The maximum Surrender Charge for the Initial Face Amount or any requested increase in Face Amount will be determined on the Policy Date or on the effective date of any requested increase respectively. This Surrender Charge for the Initial Face Amount remains level and is equal to the maximum Surrender Charge during the first five Policy Years and then reduces in equal monthly increments until it becomes zero at the end of 15 years. The Surrender Charge for any requested increase in Face Amount follows a similar pattern except that the Surrender Charge is reduced in the first three Policy Years following the effective date of the increase. Thus if the Policy remains in force during the entire relevant 15-year period, you do not pay the Surrender Charge. The maximum Surrender Charge for the Initial Face Amount or any requested increase in Face Amount will be shown in your Policy and will vary depending on the Face Amount, and the Issue Age, sex, and Rate Class of each Joint Insured on the Policy Date or on the effective date of an increase in Face Amount. The maximum amount of the Surrender Charge is $39.62 per thousand if both Joint Insureds are male Issue Age 85. Most Policies will have a much lower maximum Surrender Charge. SURRENDER CHARGE CALCULATION. The Surrender Charge for the Initial Face Amount or any requested increase in Face Amount is determined by multiplying (i) the maximum Surrender Charge shown in your Policy by (ii) the applicable percentage from the Surrender Charge Percentage Table below, and then dividing this amount by 1,000. For example, $250,000 Face Amount Policy issued to two males, both Issue Age 55, would have a maximum Surrender Charge of $7,250 ($7,250 x 100%) during the first five years of the Policy, and decline during the next 10 years as indicated by the Table below. For the Initial Face Amount, a Surrender Charge is measured from the Issue Date and applies for 15 years from that Date. An increase in Face Amount of $100,000 in year 5 of the Policy would have its own (additional) Surrender Charge of $2,500 at the end of the first year ($7,500 x 33%), and vary according to the Table below. The applicable Surrender Charge for each increase applies for 15 years from the increase Date. In this example, all Surrender Charges would cease to apply after 15 Policy Years. 16 SURRENDER CHARGE PERCENTAGE TABLE IF SURRENDER OR LAPSE OCCURS IN THE LAST MONTH OF POLICY YEAR: INITIAL FACE AMOUNT FACE AMOUNT INCREASES 1 100% 33% 2 100% 67% 3 100% 100% 4 100% 100% 5 100% 100% 6 90% 90% 7 80% 80% 8 70% 70% 9 60% 60% 10 50% 50% 11 40% 40% 12 30% 30% 13 20% 20% 14 10% 10% 15 and later 0% 0% For requested increases, years are measured from the date of the increase. The percentages reduce equally for each Policy Month during the years shown. For example, during the eleventh Policy Year, the percentage reduces equally each month from 50% at the end of the tenth Policy Year to 40% at the end of the eleventh Policy Year. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL AND TRANSFER CHARGES We currently make no charge for the first 24 transfers in a Policy Year. We make a $25 charge for each subsequent transfer. We currently make a $10.00 charge for each partial withdrawal. These charges are guaranteed not to exceed $25.00 per transfer or partial withdrawal for the duration of the Policy. The transfer charge will not be imposed on transfers that occur as a result of Policy loans or the exercise of conversion rights. MODIFICATION OF CHARGES ReliaStar may modify any of the charges under the Policy, as well as the minimum Face Amount set forth in this Prospectus, because of special circumstances that result in lower sales, administrative, or mortality expenses. For example, special circumstances may exist in connection with group or sponsored arrangements, sales to our policyholders or those of affiliated insurance companies, or sales to employees or clients of members of our affiliated group of insurance companies. The amount of any reductions will reflect the reduced sales effort and administrative costs resulting from, or the different mortality experience expected as a result of, the special circumstances. Modification will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person, including the affected Policy owners and owners of all other policies funded by the Variable Account. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER FUND EXPENSES Because the Variable Account purchases shares of the Funds, the net asset value of the Variable Account's investments will reflect the investment advisory fees and other expenses incurred by the Funds. Set forth below is information provided by each Fund on its total 1999 annual expenses as a percentage of the Fund's average net assets. See the prospectuses for the Funds for more information concerning these expenses. 17 FUND EXPENSES (BEFORE REIMBURSEMENTS) TOTAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT OTHER FUND AMOUNT FUND FEES EXPENSES EXPENSES - ---- ---------- -------- ---------------- AIM V.I.

These amounts are intended to compensate the Company or the Company's affiliates for administrative, record keeping, and in some cases distribution, and other services provided by the Company and its affiliates to Funds and/or the Funds' affiliates. Payments of such amounts by an affiliate or affiliates of the Funds do not increase the fees paid by the Funds or their shareholders. The percentage paid may vary from one Fund company to another. 18 (b) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain portfolios pay was used to reduce Portfolio expenses. In addition, certain Portfolios have entered into arrangements with their custodian whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce custodian expenses. Including these reductions, the total operating expenses presented in the table would have been: 0.56% for Fidelity VIP Equity-Income Portfolio; 0.65% for Fidelity VIP Growth Portfolio; 0.28% for Fidelity VIP II Index 500 Portfolio; and 0.65% for Fidelity VIP II Contrafund(R) Portfolio. (c) Expenses are based upon expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, restated to reflect a reduction in the management fee for Growth, Aggressive Growth, International Growth and Worldwide Growth Portfolios. All expenses are stated without the effect of expense offset arrangements. (d) Neuberger Berman Management Inc. ("NBMI") has undertaken to reimburse the Socially Responsive Portfolio for certain operating expenses, including the compensation of Neuberger Berman Advisers Management Trust and excluding taxes, interest, extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions and transaction costs, that exceed in the aggregate, 1.50% of the average daily net asset value of the Socially Responsive Portfolio. Expenses were 1.53% for the fiscal period ending December 31, 1999, after the reimbursement. There can be no assurance that this policy will be continued after May 1, 2001. See "Expense Limitation" in the Socially Responsive Portfolio prospectus for further information. (e) Management Fees reflect effective management fees before taking into effect any waiver. Other Expenses are shown before expense offsets afforded the Portfolios. Total Portfolio Expenses for the Equity, Small Cap and Managed Portfolios are limited by OpCap Advisors so that their respective annualized operating expenses (net of expense offsets) do not exceed 1.00% of average daily net assets. Total Portfolio Expenses for the Global Equity Portfolio are limited to 1.25% of average daily net assets (net of expense offsets). (f) The investment adviser to the Pilgrim Variable Products Trust has agreed to reimburse the Growth + Value Portfolio and High Yield Bond Portfolio for any expenses in excess of 0.80% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets. It has also agreed to reimburse the SmallCap Opportunities Portfolio, Research Enhanced Index Portfolio, Growth Opportunities Portfolio, MagnaCap Portfolio, and MidCap Opportunities Portfolio for amounts in excess of 0.90%. It has agreed to reimburse International Value Portfolio for amounts in excess of 1.00%. After the investment adviser's expense reimbursements, the Total Fund Annual Expenses that were paid by each Portfolio during its fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 were: Growth + Value Portfolio: 0.80%; High Yield Bond Portfolio: 0.80%; International Value Portfolio: 1.00%; Research Enhanced Index Portfolio: 0.89%; SmallCap Opportunities Portfolio: 0.90%. Expense reimbursements are voluntary. There is no assurance of ongoing reimbursement. (g) This portfolio had not commenced operations as of December 31, 1999, and therefore these expenses are estimated. THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT On October 11, 1984, we established the Select*Life Variable Account as one of our separate accounts pursuant to the laws of the State of Minnesota. The Variable Account: o will receive and invest the Net Premiums paid and allocated to it under this Policy; o currently receives and invests net premiums for other classes of flexible premium variable life insurance policies we issue and may do so for additional classes in the future; o meets the definition of a "separate account" under the federal securities laws; and o is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"). Such registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment policies or practices of the Variable Account, us, or the Funds. We own the Variable Account's assets. However, Minnesota law provides that we cannot charge the Variable Account with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. We are required to 19 maintain assets which are at least equal to the reserves and other liabilities of the Variable Account. We may transfer assets which exceed these reserves and liabilities to our general account (the Fixed Account). INVESTMENTS OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT There are currently 34 investment options (Funds) available under the Variable Account. You also should read the Funds' prospectuses for more detailed information, particularly because several of the Funds and portfolios may have objectives that are quite similar. Please call the telephone number listed on the first page of this Prospectus to request a Fund's prospectus. THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY FUND WILL ACHIEVE ITS INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE(S). PERFORMANCE INFORMATION Performance information for the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account and the Funds available for investment by the Variable Account may appear in advertisements, sales literature, or reports to Policy owners or prospective purchasers. Such performance information for the Sub-Accounts will reflect deductions of Fund expenses and be adjusted to reflect the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge, but will not reflect deductions for the cost of insurance or the Surrender Charge. We will accompany quotations of performance information for the Funds by performance information for the Sub-Accounts. Performance information for the Funds will take into account all fees and charges at the Fund level, but will not reflect any deductions from the Variable Account. Performance information reflects only the performance of a hypothetical investment during a particular time period in which the calculations are based. We may provide performance information showing total returns and average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a Sub-Account commenced operation. We will calculate such performance information based on the assumption that the Sub-Accounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the Funds, with the level of charges at the Variable Account level that were in effect at the inception of the Sub-Accounts. We may also provide individualized hypothetical illustrations of Accumulation Value, Cash Surrender Value and Death Benefit based on hypothetical investment returns of the Funds not to exceed 12.00%. These illustrations will reflect deductions for Fund expenses and Policy and Variable Account charges, including the Monthly Deduction, Premium Expense Charge and the Surrender Charge. We may base these hypothetical illustrations on either the arithmetic or the weighted average of Fund expenses, reflecting the Fund expenses for the year ending December 31, 1999 and the Sub-Account assets as of December 31, 1999. We may also provide individualized hypothetical illustrations of Accumulation Value, Cash Surrender Value and Death Benefit based on historical investment returns of the Funds. These illustrations will reflect deductions for Fund expenses and Policy and Variable Account charges, including the Monthly Deduction, Premium Expense Charge and the Surrender Charge. We will base these hypothetical illustrations on the actual historical experience of the Funds as if the Sub-Accounts had been in existence and a Policy issued for the same periods as those indicated for the Funds. We may compare performance of the Sub-Accounts and/or the Funds in advertisements and sales literature: o to other variable life insurance issuers in general o to the performance of particular types of variable life insurance policies investing in mutual funds o to investment series of mutual funds with investment objectives similar to each of the Sub-Accounts, whose performance is reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc. (independent services that monitor and rank the performances of variable life insurance issuers in each of the major categories of investment objectives on an industry-wide basis), or reported by other series, companies, individuals or other industry or financial publications of general interest, such as FORBES, MONEY, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, BUSINESS WEEK, BARRON'S, KIPLINGER'S, and FORTUNE o to the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 common stocks and the Dow Jones Industrials, which are widely used measures of stock market performance 20 We may also compare the performance of each Sub-Account to other widely recognized indices. Unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but typically do not reflect any "deduction" for the expense of operating or managing an investment portfolio. DEATH BENEFIT The proceeds payable upon the death of the Surviving Joint Insured, while the Policy is in force, will be the Death Benefit reduced by any Loan Amount and unpaid Monthly Deductions. All or part of the proceeds may be paid in cash to your beneficiaries or under one or more of the settlement options we offer (see "General Provisions -- Settlement Options"). GUIDELINE PREMIUM TEST. The Death Benefit will be determined with reference to the requirements for the Guideline Premium test for qualifying a Policy as a life insurance contract under Code Section 7702(a) (2). Under these requirements, the sum of the premiums paid under a Policy may not exceed the "guideline premium limitations", as defined in Code Section 7702(a). The Death Benefit at any time is not less than the Accumulation Value multiplied by the Corridor Percentages (as defined in Code Section 7702(d), which vary according to the Age of the younger Joint Insured.

You choose the Death Benefit Option on the application for the Policy. Subject to certain limitations, you can change the Death Benefit Option after issuance of the Policy. See "Death Benefit -- Change in Death Benefit Option". The Death Benefit prior to Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured depends on the Death Benefit Option chosen as described below regardless of the Death Benefit Option chosen. The Death Benefit after Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured is the Accumulation Value. OPTION A (LEVEL AMOUNT OPTION). Prior to Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured, the Death Benefit is the greater of the current Face Amount of the Policy or the Corridor Percentage of Accumulation Value on the Valuation Date on or next following the date of the Insured's death. Under Option A, the Death Benefits will remain level unless the Corridor Percentage of Accumulation Value exceeds the current Face Amount, in which case the amount of the Death Benefit will vary as the Accumulation Value varies. OPTION B (VARIABLE AMOUNT OPTION). Prior to Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured, the Death Benefit is equal to the greater of the current Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value of the Policy, or the Corridor Percentage of the Accumulation Value on the Valuation Date on or next following the 21 date of the Insured's death. Under Option B, the amount of the Death Benefit will always vary as the AccumulationValue varies. OPTION C (FACE AMOUNT PLUS PREMIUM AMOUNT OPTION). Prior to Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured, the Death Benefit is the greater of the Face Amount plus cumulative premiums less cumulative withdrawals, or the Corridor Percentage of the Accumulation Value on the Valuation Date following the date of the Insured's death. Under Option C, the amount of the Death Benefit will vary as the premiums are paid or withdrawals are made, or if the Corridor Percentage of the Accumulation Value exceeds the current Face Amount. WHICH DEATH BENEFIT OPTION TO CHOOSE If you prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected partly in the form of an increasing Death Benefit, you should choose the Variable Amount Option. If you are satisfied with the amount of your existing insurance coverage and prefer to have premium payments and favorable investment performance reflected to the maximum extent in the Accumulation Value and lower cost of insurance charges, you should choose the Level Amount Option. If you require a specific Death Benefit which would include a return of the premium paid, such as under an employer sponsored benefit plan, Option C may meet your needs. REQUESTED CHANGES IN FACE AMOUNT Subject to certain limitations, you may request an increase or decrease in the Face Amount. We will not permit increases and decreases in the Face Amount during the first four Policy Years. INCREASES. For an increase in the Face Amount, you must submit a written request to us. We may also require additional evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. The effective date of the increase will be the Monthly Anniversary on or next following our approval of the increase. The increase may not be less than $5,000. We will currently permit increases up to any Joint Insured Age 85, if our requirements are met. We will deduct any charges associated with the increase (the increases in the cost of insurance and the Surrender Charge upon lapse or total surrender -- see "Effect of Requested Changes in Face Amount" below) from the Accumulation Value, whether or not you pay an additional premium in connection with the increase. You will be entitled to limited free look rights with respect to requested increases in Face Amount. See "Free Look Rights". DECREASES. For a decrease in the Face Amount, you must submit a written request to us. Any decrease in the Face Amount will be effective on the Monthly Anniversary on or next following our receipt of a written request. You cannot request a decrease in the Face Amount more frequently than once every six months. The Face Amount remaining in force after any requested decrease may not be less than the Minimum Face Amount shown in the Policy. Under our current rules, the Minimum Face Amount is $250,000, but we reserve the right to establish a different Minimum Face Amount in the future. The Minimum Face Amount in New Jersey is $500,000. If, following a decrease in Face Amount, the Policy would no longer qualify as life insurance under Federal tax law (see "Federal Tax Matters -- Tax Status of the Policy"), we will limit the decrease to the extent necessary to meet these requirements. For purposes of determining the cost of insurance, we will apply decreases in the Face Amount to reduce the current Face Amount in the following order: (1) The Face Amount provided by the most recent increase; (2) The next most recent increases successively; and (3) The Face Amount when the Policy was issued. By reducing the current Face Amount in this manner, the Rate Class applicable to the most recent increase in Face Amount will be eliminated first, then the Rate Class applicable to the next most recent increase, and so on, for the purposes of calculating the cost of insurance. This assumption will affect the cost of insurance under the Policy only if different Rate Classes have been applied to the current Face Amount. A Rate Class is a group of Insureds we determine based upon our expectation that they will have similar mortality experience. We currently place Insureds into standard Rate Classes or into substandard Rate Classes that involve a higher mortality risk (for example, a 200% Rate Class or a 300% Rate Class). In an otherwise identical Policy, an Insured in the standard Rate Class will have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in a substandard Rate Class with higher mortality risks. See "Deductions and Charges -- Monthly Deduction". 22 For example, assume that the initial Face Amount was $50,000 with a standard Rate Class, and that successive increases of $25,000 (at a Rate Class of 200%) and $50,000 (at a Rate Class of 300%) were added. If a decrease of $50,000 or less is requested, the amount of insurance at a 300% Rate Class will be reduced first. If a decrease of more than $50,000 is requested, the amount at a 300% Rate Class will be eliminated, and the excess over $50,000 will next reduce the amount of insurance at a 200% Rate Class. EFFECT OF REQUESTED CHANGES IN FACE AMOUNT. An increase or decrease in Face Amount will affect the Monthly Deduction because the cost of insurance depends upon the Face Amount. The charge for certain optional insurance benefits may also be affected. See "Deductions and Charges -- Monthly Deduction". An increase in the Face Amount will increase the Surrender Charge and Monthly Amount Charge, but a decrease in the Face Amount will not reduce the Surrender Charge or the Monthly Amount Charge. The Surrender Charge is, however, imposed only upon lapse or total surrender of the Policy and not upon a requested decrease in Face Amount. See "Deductions and Charges -- Surrender Charge". An increase in the Face Amount will increase the Minimum Monthly Premium as of the effective date of the increase. Therefore, additional premium payments may be required to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee. A decrease in the Face Amount will reduce the Minimum Monthly Premium as of the effective date of the decrease. A Face Amount decrease may also shorten the Death Benefit Guarantee Period if a term insurance rider is attached. See "Death Benefit Guarantee". The additional Surrender Charge on a requested increase in the Face Amount will reduce the Cash Surrender Value (which is the Accumulation Value less any Surrender Charge, Loan Amount and unpaid Monthly Deductions). If the resulting Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction, the Policy may lapse unless the Death Benefit Guarantee is in effect. See "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement -- Lapse" and "Death Benefit Guarantee". INSURANCE PROTECTION As your insurance needs change, you may increase or decrease the pure insurance protection provided by the Policy (that is, the difference between the Death Benefit and the Accumulation Value) in one of several ways. These ways include: o increasing or decreasing the Face Amount of insurance, changing the level of premium payments, and, o making a partial withdrawal under the Policy. Although the consequences of each of these methods will depend upon the individual circumstances, they may be generally summarized as follows: o AN INCREASE IN THE FACE AMOUNT (which is generally subject to underwriting approval -- see "Death Benefit -- Requested Changes in Face Amount") will likely increase the amount of pure insurance protection, depending on the amount of Accumulation Value and the resultant corridor percentage limitation. If the insurance protection is increased, the Policy charges generally will increase as well. o A DECREASE IN THE FACE AMOUNT will, subject to the corridor percentage limitations (see "Death Benefit -- Death Benefit Options"), decrease the pure insurance protection without reducing the Accumulation Value. If the Face Amount is decreased, the Cost of Insurance charges generally will decrease as well. (Note that the Surrender Charge will not be reduced. See "Deductions and Charges -- Surrender Charge".) o A CHANGE IN THE LEVEL OF PREMIUM can have a variety of effects, as follows. Under the Level Amount Option, until the corridor percentage of Accumulation Value exceeds the Face Amount, (a) an increased level of premium payments will reduce the amount of pure insurance protection, and (b) a reduced level of premium payments will increase the amount of pure insurance protection. Under the Variable Amount Option, until the corridor percentage of Accumulation Value exceeds the Face Amount plus the Accumulation Value, the level of premium payments will not affect the amount of pure insurance protection. (However, both the Accumulation Value and the Death Benefit will be increased if premium payments are increased, and reduced if premium payments are reduced.) 23 Under the Face Plus Premium Amount Option, until the corridor percentage of Accumulation Value exceeds the Face Amount, the level of premium payments will affect the amount of pure insurance protection. Under any Death Benefit Option, if the Death Benefit is the corridor percentage of Accumulation Value, then (a) an increased level of premium payments will increase the amount of pure insurance protection (subject to underwriting approval -- see "Payment and Allocation of Premiums -- Amount and Timing of Premiums"), and (b) a reduced level of premium payments will reduce the pure insurance protection. o A PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL will reduce the Death Benefit. See "Surrender Benefits -- Partial Withdrawal". However, it has a limited effect on the amount of pure insurance protection and charges under the Policy, because the decrease in the Death Benefit is usually equal to the amount of Accumulation Value withdrawn. The primary use of a partial withdrawal is to withdraw Accumulation Value. Furthermore, it results in a reduced amount of Accumulation Value and increases the possibility that the Policy will lapse. YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THE TECHNIQUES DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION FOR CHANGING THE AMOUNT OF PURE INSURANCE PROTECTION UNDER THE POLICY (FOR EXAMPLE, CHANGING THE FACE AMOUNT, MAKING A PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL, AND CHANGING THE AMOUNT OF PREMIUM PAYMENTS) TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER RESTRICTIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS DESCRIBED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. CHANGING THE DEATH BENEFIT OPTION After the fourth Policy Year, you may change the Death Benefit Option. We allow changes from Option A to Option B, from Option B to Option A, and, currently, from Option C to Option A. We will not allow changes to Option C after issue. You must submit a written request to change the Death Benefit Option. A change in the Death Benefit Option will also change the Face Amount. If the Death Benefit Option is changed from the Level Amount Option to the Variable Amount Option, the Face Amount will be decreased by an amount equal to the Accumulation Value on the effective date of the change. You cannot change from the Level Amount Option to the Variable Amount Option if the resulting Face Amount would fall below the minimum Face Amount (currently $250,000). If you change the Death Benefit Option from the Variable Amount Option to the Level Amount Option, we will increase the Face Amount by an amount equal to the Policy's Accumulation Value on the effective date of the change. If you change from Option C to Option A, we will increase the Face Amount by an amount equal to cumulative premiums less cumulative withdrawals taken. An increase or decrease in Face Amount resulting from a change in the Death Benefit Option will affect the future Monthly Deductions because the cost of insurance depends upon the Face Amount. A change in the Face Amount resulting from a change in the Death Benefit Option may also affect the charge for certain optional insurance benefits. See "Deductions and Charges -- Monthly Deduction". However, a Face Amount change resulting from a Death Benefit Option change will not affect the Surrender Charge or the Monthly Amount Charge. Unless prohibited by state law, changes in the Death Benefit Option do not currently require additional evidence of insurability. PAYMENT AND ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS ISSUING THE POLICY An individual applying for a Policy must complete an application and personally deliver it to our licensed agent. We will only issue a Policy to an applicant where both Joint Insureds' ages are 85 or less and both supply evidence of insurability satisfactory to us. The minimum Face Amount is currently $250,000 ($500,000 for a Policy issued in New Jersey), but we reserve the right to specify a different minimum Face Amount for issuing a new Policy. Acceptance is subject to our underwriting rules and we reserve the right to reject an application for any reason permitted by law. COVERAGE. Coverage under a Policy begins on the later of the Issue Date or the date we receive at least the minimum initial premium (see immediately following section). In general, if the applicant pays at least the minimum initial premium with the application, the Issue Date will be the later of the date of the application or the date of any medical examination required by our underwriting procedures. 24 However, if underwriting approval has not occurred within 45 days after we receive the application or if you authorize premiums to be paid by bank account monthly deduction, the Issue Date will be the date of underwriting approval. If you authorize premiums to be paid by government allotment, the Issue Date generally will be, subject to our underwriting approval, the first day of the month in which we receive the first Minimum Monthly Premium through government allotment, whether or not a Minimum Monthly Premium is collected with the application. If a Minimum Monthly Premium is collected with the application, it will be allocated to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account and the Fixed Account on the Valuation Date next following the Issue Date. MINIMUM INITIAL PREMIUM. The minimum initial premium is three Minimum Monthly Premiums (see "Death Benefit Guarantee"). If, however, you authorize premiums to be paid by bank account monthly deduction or government allotment, we will accept one Minimum Monthly Premium together with the required authorization forms. The Minimum Monthly Premium is specified in the Policy and determines the payments required to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee. TEMPORARY INSURANCE. At the time the application is taken, the applicant can receive temporary insurance coverage by paying a premium equal to 10% of annualized Minimum Monthly Premium. The temporary insurance will be for the Face Amount specified in the premium receipt and will be effective until the earliest of the following: o The date the coverage under the Policy is effective. o The date the applicant receives an offer for an alternative policy, a notice of termination of temporary insurance coverage, or notice that we have rejected the application. o The date of death of the proposed Surviving Joint Insured, any proposed additional Insured's, or any proposed additional Joint Insured. o The 180th day after the date of the receipt for the temporary insurance. ALLOCATING PREMIUMS We will credit the initial Net Premium and any premiums received prior to the Initial Premium Transfer Date to the Fidelity VIP Money Market Sub-Account on the later of the Policy Date or the date we receive your premium. On the Initial Premium Transfer Date, we will transfer the Variable Accumulation Value in the Fidelity VIP Money Market Sub-Account to the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account as you designated on the Policy application. After the Initial Premium Transfer Date, we credit premiums to the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account as you designated on the Policy application. You may change the premium allocation at any time by notifying us in writing. Changes will not be effective until the date we receive your request and will only affect premiums we receive on or after that date. The new premium allocation may be 100% to any Account or divided in whole percentage points totaling 100%. We reserve the right to adjust any allocation to eliminate fractional percentages. Changing the current premium allocation will not affect the allocation of existing Accumulation Value. CREDITING NET PREMIUMS. We will credit Net Premiums on the latest of the following dates: o The Valuation Date following the date of underwriting approval. o The Valuation Date on or next following the Policy Date. o The Valuation Date on or next following the date we receive at least the required minimum initial premium payment. o In the case of Policies issued under government allotment programs, the Valuation Date next following the Issue Date. REFUNDING PREMIUMS. We will return all premiums paid without interest if any of the following occur: o We send notice to the applicant that the insurance is declined. o The applicant refuses an offer for an alternative policy. o The applicant does not supply required medical exams or tests within 30 days of the date of the application. 25 o The applicant returns the Policy under the limited free look right. See "Free Look and Conversion Rights -- Free Look Rights". AMOUNT AND TIMING OF PREMIUMS The amount and frequency of premium payments will affect the Accumulation Value, the Cash Surrender Value, and how long the Policy will remain in force (including affecting whether the Death Benefit Guarantee is in effect -- see "Death Benefit Guarantee"). After the initial premium, you may determine the amount and timing of subsequent premium payments within the following restrictions: o In most cases, we will require that you pay cumulative premiums sufficient to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee to keep the Policy in force during at least the first several Policy Years. See "Death Benefit Guarantee." o We may choose not to accept any premium less than $25. o We reserve the right to limit the amount of any premium payment. In general, during the first Policy Year we will not accept total premium payments in excess of $250,000 on the lives of the Joint Insureds, whether such payments are received on a Policy or on any other insurance policy issued by us or our affiliates. Also, we will not accept any premium payment in excess of $50,000 on any Policy after the first Policy Year. We may waive any of these premium limitations. o We may require additional evidence of insurability satisfactory to us if any premium would increase the difference between the Death Benefit and the Accumulation Value (that is, the net amount at risk). A premium payment would increase the net amount at risk if at the time of payment the Death Benefit would be based upon the applicable corridor percentage of Accumulation Value. See "Death Benefit -- Death Benefit Options". o In no event may the total of all premiums paid, both scheduled and unscheduled, exceed the current maximum premium payments allowed for life insurance under Section 7702 of the Code. If at any time you pay a premium that would result in total premiums exceeding the current maximum premiums allowed, we will only accept that portion of the premium which would make total premiums equal the maximum. We will return any part of the premium in excess of that amount, and we will not accept further premiums until allowed by the current maximum premium limitations. o You may pay additional premiums (other than Planned Periodic Premiums) at any time while the Policy is in force before Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured. We may limit the number and amount of these additional payments. However you may always pay premiums if needed to keep your Policy in force for the remainder of the current Policy Year. o If you want to make a large premium payment under this Policy, and you wish to avoid Modified Endowment Contract classification, you may contact us in writing before making the payment and we will tell you the maximum amount which you can pay into the Policy. See "Federal Tax Matters -- Tax Status of the Policy". PLANNED PERIODIC PREMIUMS You may choose a Planned Periodic Premium schedule which indicates a preference as to future amounts and frequency of payment. You may pay Planned Periodic Premiums annually, semi-annually, quarterly or, if you choose, you can pay the Planned Periodic Premiums by bank account monthly deduction or government allotment. Your Policy will show the amount and frequency of your initial Planned Periodic Premium. You may change the Planned Periodic Premium at any time by written request. We may limit the amount of any increase. Failure to make any Planned Periodic Premium payment will not, however, necessarily result in lapse of the Policy. On the other hand, making Planned Periodic Premium payments will not guarantee that the Policy remains in force. See "Death Benefit Guarantee" and "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement". 26 PAYING PREMIUMS BY MAIL You may pay Planned Periodic Premiums and Unscheduled Additional Premiums to the Company by mailing the payments to: ReliaStar Life Insurance Company P.O. Box 1880 Minneapolis, Minnesota 55480-1880 DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE If you meet the requirements described below, we guarantee that we will not lapse the Policy even if the Cash Surrender Value is not sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction that is due. This feature of the Policy is called the "Death Benefit Guarantee". (In Maryland, this feature is referred to as the "No Lapse Guarantee.") The length of the Death Benefit Guarantee Period is specified in your Policy and is uniquely determined on a Policy by Policy basis. The Death Benefit Guarantee Period depends on the issue ages and premium classes of the Joint Insureds, Death Benefit Option, and any Optional Insurance Benefits. Certain Policy changes may also change the Death Benefit Guarantee Period. Following is a table of typical Death Benefit Guarantee Periods. The examples assume that the Joint Insureds are a male and a female, both of the same issue age, both with no substandard ratings, a $1,000,000 Face Amount, and no Optional Insurance Benefits. Policies with substandard ratings and Optional Insurance Benefits will typically have a shorter Death Benefit Guarantee Period. DEATH BENEFIT DEATH BENEFIT AGE AND CLASS OF JOINT INSUREDS OPTION GUARANTEE PERIOD ------------------------------- --------------------- ----------------- 45 Non-Tobacco ............... A (Level) 45 Years 45 Non-Tobacco ............... B (Variable) 39 Years 45 Non-Tobacco ............... C (Face Plus Premium) 35 Years 65 Non-Tobacco ............... A (Level) 25 Years 65 Non-Tobacco ............... B (Variable) 21 Years 65 Non-Tobacco ............... C (Face Plus Premium) 19 Years 45 Tobacco ................... A (Level) 41 Years 45 Tobacco ................... B (Variable) 37 Years 45 Tobacco ................... C (Face Plus Premium) 34 Years 65 Tobacco ................... A (Level) 23 Years 65 Tobacco ................... B (Variable) 19 Years 65 Tobacco ................... C (Face Plus Premium) 18 Years In general, the two most significant benefits from the Death Benefit Guarantee are as follows. First, during the early Policy Years, the Cash Surrender Value may not be sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction, so that the Death Benefit Guarantee will be necessary to avoid lapse of the Policy. See "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement". This occurs when the Surrender Charge exceeds the Accumulation Value in these years. In this regard, you should consider that if you request an increase in Face Amount, an additional Surrender Charge would apply for the fifteen years following the increase, which could create a similar possibility of lapse as exists during the early Policy Years. Second, to the extent the Cash Surrender Value declines due to poor investment performance, or due to an additional Surrender Charge after a requested increase, the Cash Surrender Value may not be sufficient even in later Policy Years to cover the Monthly Deduction, so that the Death Benefit Guarantee may also be necessary in later Policy Years to avoid lapse of the Policy. THUS, EVEN THOUGH THE POLICY PERMITS PREMIUM PAYMENTS THAT ARE LESS THAN THE MINIMUM MONTHLY PREMIUMS, YOU MAY LOSE THE SIGNIFICANT PROTECTION PROVIDED BY THE DEATH BENEFIT GUARANTEE BY PAYING LESS THAN THE MINIMUM MONTHLY PREMIUMS. REQUIREMENTS The Death Benefit Guarantee will be in effect during the specified Death Benefit Guarantee Period if the sum of all premiums paid minus any partial withdrawals and any loans are equal to or greater than the sum of the Minimum Monthly Premiums since the Policy Date, including the Minimum Monthly Premium for the current Monthly Anniversary. The requirements for the Death Benefit Guarantee must be satisfied as of each Monthly Anniversary, even though you do not have to pay premiums monthly. 27 EXAMPLE: The Policy Date is January 1, 2000. The Minimum Monthly Premium is $1000 per month. No Policy loans or partial withdrawals are taken and no Face Amount changes have occurred. Case 1. You pay $1000 each month. The Death Benefit Guarantee is maintained. Case 2. You pay $10,000 on January 1, 2000. The $10,000 maintains the Death Benefit Guarantee without your paying any additional premiums for the next 10 months (through October 31, 2000). However, you must pay at least $1000 by November 1, 2000 to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee through November 30, 2000. The amount of the initial Minimum Monthly Premium will be determined by us at issuance of the Policy and will be shown in the Policy. The initial Minimum Monthly Premium will depend upon each Joint Insured's sex, age at issue, Rate Class, optional insurance benefits added by rider, and the Initial Face Amount. The following Policy changes may change the Minimum Monthly Premium and the Death Benefit Guarantee Period: o A requested increase or decrease in the Face Amount (see "Death Benefit Requested Changes in Face Amount"). o A change in the Death Benefit Option (see "Death Benefit -- Change in Death Benefit Option"). o The addition or termination of a Policy rider (see "General Provisions -- Optional Insurance Benefits"). We will notify you in writing of any changes in the Minimum Monthly Premium or the Death Benefit Guarantee Period. If you have not made sufficient premium payments to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee as of any Monthly Anniversary, we will send you notice of the premium payment required to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee. If we do not receive the required premium payment within 61 days from the date of our notice, the Death Benefit Guarantee will terminate. You can reinstate the Death Benefit Guarantee within the first five Policy Years by paying any past due Minimum Monthly Premiums. After the first five Policy Years, a lapsed Death Benefit Guarantee cannot be reinstated. Even if the Death Benefit Guarantee terminates, the Policy will not necessarily lapse. For a discussion of the circumstances under which the Policy may lapse. See "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement". ACCUMULATION VALUE The Accumulation Value of the Policy (that is, the total value attributable to a specific Policy in the Variable Account and the Fixed Account) is equal to the sum of the Variable Accumulation Value (the value attributable to the Variable Account) plus the Fixed Accumulation Value (the value attributable to the Fixed Account). You should distinguish the Accumulation Value from the Cash Surrender Value that would actually be paid to you upon total surrender of the Policy, which is the Accumulation Value less any Surrender Charge, Loan Amount and unpaid Monthly Deductions. See "Surrender Benefits -- Total Surrender". You should also distinguish the Accumulation Value from the Cash Value, which determines the amount available for Policy loans, and is the Accumulation Value less any Surrender Charge. See "Policy Loans." The Variable Accumulation Value will generally vary daily and will increase or decrease to reflect the investment performance of the Funds in which Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account have been invested. We will increase the Variable Accumulation Value by: o any Net Premiums credited to the Variable Account, and o any transfers from the Fixed Account. We will reduce the Variable Accumulation Value by: o the Monthly Deduction attributable to the Variable Account, 28 o partial withdrawals from the Variable Account, o any transfer and partial withdrawal charges attributable to the Variable Account, and o any amounts transferred from the Variable Account to the Fixed Account (including amounts transferred from the Variable Account to the Fixed Account as security for Policy loans -- see "Policy Loans"). We will increase the Fixed Accumulation Value by: o any Net Premiums credited to the Fixed Account, o any interest credited to the Fixed Account (determined at our discretion, but guaranteed not to be less than 3%), and o any amounts transferred from the Variable Account to the Fixed Account (including amounts transferred to the Fixed Account as security for Policy loans -- see "Policy Loans"). We will reduce the Fixed Accumulation Value by: o the Monthly Deduction attributable to the Fixed Account, o partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account, o any transfer and partial withdrawal charges attributable to the Fixed Account, and o any amounts transferred from the Fixed Account to the Variable Account. See Appendix B for a detailed discussion of the calculation of Accumulation Value. ILLUSTRATION OF POLICY BENEFITS In order to help you understand how your Policy values would vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with certain personalized illustrations upon request. These will be based on the age and insurance risk characteristics of the Insured under your Policy and such factors as the specified face amount, death benefit option, premium payment amounts and rates of return (within limits) that you request. You can request such illustrations at any time. We have filed an example of such an illustration as an exhibit to the Registration Statement as referred to on page 49 of this prospectus. This form of illustration is available to you upon request and is incorporated herein by reference. There may be state specific product features that make the illustrations applicable to you different from the form of illustration shown in the exhibit. In addition, personalized illustrations may be based upon a weighted average rather than an arithmetic average of Fund expenses. SPECIALIZED USES OF THE POLICY Because the Policy provides for an accumulation of Cash Surrender Value as well as a Death Benefit, the Policy can be used for various individual and business financial planning purposes. Purchasing the Policy in part for such purposes entails certain risks. For example, if the investment performance of the Sub-Accounts to which Accumulation Value is allocated is poorer than expected or if sufficient premiums are not paid, the Policy may lapse or may not accumulate sufficient Accumulation Value or Cash Surrender Value to fund the purpose for which the Policy was purchased. Withdrawals and Policy loans may significantly affect current and future Accumulation Value, Cash Surrender Value, or Death Benefit proceeds. Depending upon Sub-Account investment performance and the amount of a Policy loan, the loan may cause a Policy to lapse. Because the Policy is designed to provide benefits on a long-term basis, before purchasing a Policy for a specialized purpose a purchaser should consider whether the long-term nature of the Policy is consistent with the purpose for which it is being considered. Using a Policy for a specialized purpose may have tax consequences. See "Federal Tax Matters". POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT LAPSE. Unlike traditional life insurance policies, the failure to make a Planned Periodic Payment will not by itself cause the Policy to lapse (terminate). If the Death Benefit Guarantee is not in effect, the Policy will lapse only if, as of any Monthly Anniversary, the Cash Surrender Value is less than the Monthly Deduction due, and a grace period of 61 days expires without a sufficient payment. 29 During the early Policy Years, the Cash Surrender Value will generally not be sufficient to cover the Monthly Deduction, so that premium payments sufficient to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee will be required to avoid lapse. See "Death Benefit Guarantee". The Policy does not lapse, and the insurance coverage continues, until the expiration of a 61-day grace period which begins on the date we send you written notice indicating that the Cash Surrender Value is less than the Monthly Deduction due. Our written notice will indicate the amount of the payment required to avoid lapse. If you do not make a sufficient payment within the grace period, then the Policy will lapse without value. If the Surviving Joint Insured dies during the grace period, the proceeds payable will equal the amount of the Death Benefit on the Valuation Date on or next following the date of the Surviving Joint Insured's death, reduced by any Loan Amount and any unpaid Monthly Deductions. If the Death Benefit Guarantee is in effect, we will not lapse the Policy. See "Death Benefit Guarantee". REINSTATEMENT. Reinstatement means putting a lapsed Policy back in force. You may reinstate a lapsed Policy by written request any time within five years after it has lapsed if it has not been surrendered for its Cash Surrender Value. To reinstate the Policy and any riders you must submit evidence of insurability satisfactory to us that each Joint Insured is still insurable, or if the policy lapsed after the first death of the Joint Insured, then evidence of insurability for the Surviving Joint Insured. You must pay a premium large enough such that the Net Premium is as large as the sum of the Surrender Charge after reinstatement, plus the Monthly Deductions for the date of reinstatement and the following Monthly Anniversary. A lapsed Death Benefit Guarantee cannot be reinstated after the fifth Policy Year. SURRENDER BENEFITS Subject to certain limitations, you may make a total surrender of the Policy or a partial withdrawal of the Policy's Cash Surrender Value by sending us a written request. We will determine the amount available for a total surrender or partial withdrawal at the end of the Valuation Period when we receive your written request. Generally, we will pay any amounts from the Variable Account upon total surrender or partial withdrawal within seven days after we receive your written request. We may postpone payments, however, in certain circumstances. See "General Provisions -- Postponement of Payments". TOTAL SURRENDER You may surrender the Policy at any time for its Cash Surrender Value by making a written request. The Cash Surrender Value is the Accumulation Value of the Policy reduced by any Surrender Charge, Loan Amount and unpaid Monthly Deductions. If the Cash Surrender Value at the time of a surrender exceeds $25,000, the written request must include a Signature Guarantee. Appendix C shows an illustration of Accumulation Values, Cash Surrender Values, and Death Benefits assuming different levels of premium payments and investment returns for selected Ages and Face Amounts. PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL After the first Policy Year, you may withdraw part of the Cash Surrender Value by sending us a written request. If the amount being withdrawn exceeds $25,000, then the written request must include a Signature Guarantee. We currently allow only one partial withdrawal in any Policy Year. We currently make a $10 charge for each partial withdrawal. We guarantee that this charge will not exceed $25 for each partial withdrawal. See "Deductions and Charges -- Partial Withdrawal and Transfer Charges". The amount of any partial withdrawal must be at least $500 and, during the first 15 Policy Years, may not be more than 20% of the Cash Surrender Value on the date we receive your written request. Unless you specify a different allocation, we make partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account on a proportionate basis based upon the Accumulation Value. We will determine these proportions at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your written request. For purposes of determining these proportions, we first subtract any outstanding Loan Amount from the Fixed Accumulation Value. 30 EFFECT OF PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. We will reduce the Accumulation Value by the amount of any partial withdrawal. We will also reduce the Death Benefit by the amount of the withdrawal, or, if the Death Benefit is based on the corridor percentage of Accumulation Value (see "Death Benefit -- Death Benefit Options"), by an amount equal to the corridor percentage times the amount of the partial withdrawal. If the Level Amount Option is in effect, we will reduce the Face Amount by the amount of the partial withdrawal. When increases in the Face Amount have occurred previously, we reduce the current Face Amount by the amount of the partial withdrawal in the following order: (1) The Face Amount provided by the most recent increase; (2) The next most recent increases successively; and (3) The Face Amount when the Policy was issued. (This assumption also applies to requested decreases in Face Amount -- see "Death Benefit -- Requested Changes in Face Amount".) Thus, partial withdrawals may affect the way in which the cost of insurance is calculated and the amount of pure insurance protection under the Policy. See "Death Benefit -- Requested Changes in Face Amount", "Deductions and Charges -- Monthly Deduction" and "Death Benefit -- Insurance Protection". We do not allow a partial withdrawal if the Face Amount after a partial withdrawal would be less than the Minimum Face Amount. If the Variable Amount Option or the Face Plus Premium Amount Option is in effect, a partial withdrawal does not affect the Face Amount. A partial withdrawal may also cause the termination of the Death Benefit Guarantee because we deduct the amount of the partial withdrawal from the total premiums paid in calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums in order to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee. Like partial withdrawals, Policy loans are a means of withdrawing money from the Policy. See "Policy Loans". A partial withdrawal or a Policy loan may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances of such withdrawal or loan. See "Federal Tax Matters -- Tax Status of the Policy". TRANSFERS You may transfer all or part of the Variable Accumulation Value between the Sub-Accounts or to the Fixed Account subject to any conditions the Funds whose shares are involved may impose. You must make your transfer request in writing unless you have completed a telephone transfer authorization form. You may also direct us to automatically make periodic transfers under the Dollar Cost Averaging or Portfolio Rebalancing services as described below. To transfer all or part of the Variable Accumulation Value from a Sub-Account, we redeem Accumulation Units and reinvest their values in other Sub-Accounts, or the Fixed Account, as you direct in your request. We will effect transfers, and determine all values in connection with transfers, at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive your request, except as otherwise specified for the Dollar Cost Averaging or Portfolio Rebalancing services. With respect to future Net Premium payments, however, your current premium allocation will remain in effect unless (1) you have requested the Portfolio Rebalancing service, or (2) you are transferring all of the Variable Accumulation Value from the Variable Account to the Fixed Account in exercise of conversion rights. See "Free Look and Conversion Rights -- Conversion Rights". Transfers from the Fixed Account to the Variable Account are subject to the following additional restrictions: o your transfer request must be postmarked no more than 30 days before or after the Policy Anniversary in any year, and only one transfer is permitted during this period, o you may only transfer up to 50% of the Fixed Accumulation Value, less any Loan Amount, unless the balance, after the transfer, would be less than $1,000, in which event you may transfer the full Fixed Accumulation Value, less any Loan Amount, and o you must transfer at least the lesser of $500 or the total Fixed Accumulation Value, less any Loan Amount. 31 Some of these restrictions may be waived for transfers due to the Portfolio Rebalancing service. TELEPHONE/FAX INSTRUCTIONS. You are allowed to enter certain types of instructions either by telephone or by fax if you complete a telephone/fax instruction authorization form. If you complete the form, you can enter the following types of instructions by telephone or fax: o transfers between Sub-Accounts o changes of allocations among fund options By completing the telephone/fax form, you agree that we will not be liable for any loss, liability, cost or expense when we act in accordance with the telephone/fax transfer instructions that we receive or are recorded on voice recording equipment. If we later determine that you did not make a telephone/fax transfer request or the request was made without your authorization, and loss results from such unauthorized transfer, you bear the risk of this loss. We consider any requests made via fax as telephone requests and such requests are bound by the conditions in the telephone/fax transfer authorization form you sign. Any fax request should include your name, daytime telephone number, Policy number and, in the case of transfers, the names of the Sub-Accounts from which and to which money will be transferred and the allocation percentage. ReliaStar will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions communicated by telephone/fax are genuine. If we do not employ such procedures, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. Such procedures may include, among others, requiring forms of personal identification prior to acting upon telephone/fax instructions, providing written confirmation of such instructions, and/or tape recording telephone instructions. DOLLAR COST AVERAGING SERVICE. You may request this service if your Accumulation Value, less any Loan Amount, is at least $5,000. If you request this service, you direct us to automatically make specific periodic transfers of a fixed dollar amount from any of the Sub-Accounts to one or more of the Sub-Accounts or to the Fixed Account. We do not permit transfers from the Fixed Account under this service. You may request that we make transfers of this type on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. This service is intended to allow you to use "Dollar Cost Averaging", a long term investment method which provides for regular investments over time. We make no guarantees that Dollar Cost Averaging will result in a profit or protect against loss. You may discontinue this service at any time by notifying us in writing. If you are interested in the Dollar Cost Averaging service, you may obtain a separate application form and full information concerning this service and its restrictions from us or our registered representative. We will discontinue the Dollar Cost Averaging service immediately (1) on receipt of any request to begin a Portfolio Rebalancing service, (2) if the Policy is in the grace period on any date when Dollar Cost Averaging transfers are scheduled, or (3) if the specified transfer amount from any Sub-Account is more than the Accumulation Value in that Sub-Account. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify, or suspend this service. For a Policy issued in New Jersey, we may not discontinue this service, but reserve the right to charge up to $50 per transfer. Any such modification or discontinuation would not affect any Dollar Cost Averaging service requests already commenced. PORTFOLIO REBALANCING SERVICE. You may request this service if your Accumulation Value, less any Loan Amount, is at least $10,000. If you request this service, you direct us to automatically make periodic transfers to maintain your specified percentage allocation of Accumulation Value, less any Loan Amount, among the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account and the Fixed Account. We will also change your allocation of future Net Premium payments to be equal to this specified percentage allocation. You may request that we make transfers under this service on a quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis. This service is intended to maintain the allocation you have selected consistent with your personal objectives. The Accumulation Value in each Sub-Account of the Variable Account and the Fixed Account will grow or decline at different rates over time. Portfolio Rebalancing will periodically transfer Accumulation Values from those accounts that have increased in value to those accounts that have increased at a slower rate or declined in value. If all accounts decline in value, it will transfer Accumulation Values from those that have decreased less in value to those that have decreased more in value. We make no guarantees that Portfolio Rebalancing will result in a profit or protect against loss. You may discontinue this service at any time by notifying us in writing. 32 If you are interested in the Portfolio Rebalancing service you may obtain a separate application form and full information concerning this service and its restrictions from us or our registered representative. If you are using the Portfolio Rebalancing service, we will discontinue this service immediately (1) on receipt of any request to change the allocation of premiums to the Fixed Account and Sub-Account of the Variable Account, (2) on receipt of any request to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging service, (3) upon receipt of any request to transfer Accumulation Value among the accounts, or (4) if the policy is in the grace period or the Accumulation Value, less any Loan Amount, is less than $7,500 on any Valuation Date when Portfolio Rebalancing transfers are scheduled. We reserve the right to discontinue, modify, or suspend this service. For a Policy issued in New Jersey, we may not discontinue this service, but reserve the right to charge up to $50 per transfer. Any such modification or discontinuation could affect Portfolio Rebalancing services currently in effect, but only after 30 days notice to affected Policy owners. TRANSFER LIMITS. We currently do not limit the number of transfers, although we reserve the right to limit you to no more than 12 transfers per Policy Year. All transfers that are effective on the same Valuation Date will be treated as one transfer transaction. Transfers made due to the Dollar Cost Averaging or Portfolio Rebalancing services do not currently count toward the limit on number of transfers. TRANSFER CHARGES. We currently make no charge for the first 24 transfers during a Policy Year. We make a $25 charge for each subsequent transfer. We reserve the right to make a charge not to exceed $25 for each transfer for the duration of the Policy. Further, no charge currently is made for transfers to implement Dollar Cost Averaging and Portfolio Rebalancing. See "Deductions and Charges -- Partial Withdrawal and Transfer Charges". In no event, however, will we impose any charge in connection with the exercise of a conversion right or transfers occurring as the result of Policy Loans. All transfers are also subject to any charges and conditions imposed by the Fund whose shares are involved. We will treat all transfers that are effective on the same Valuation Date as one transfer transaction for the purpose of assessing any transfer charge. POLICY LOANS GENERAL. As long as the Policy remains in effect, you may borrow money from us using the Policy as security for the loan. We reserve the right to limit loans during the first Policy year (except that persons in Indiana and New Jersey may take loans during the first Policy year if there is a Loan Amount). The maximum amount you may borrow at any time is equal to the loan value of the Policy, which is equal to 90% of the Cash Value less the existing Loan Amount, except that under Policies issued in Texas the percentage is 100%. Each Policy loan must be at least $500, except in Connecticut it must be at least $200. After the older Joint Insured reaches age 65, we currently allow 100% of the Cash Surrender Value to be borrowed. You can make loan requests in writing or by telephoning us on any Valuation Date. Any loan request in excess of $25,000 will require a Signature Guarantee. Telephone loan requests cannot exceed $10,000. We currently do not require any election form to make telephone loan requests. We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that loan requests made by telephone are genuine. In the event we do not employ such procedures, we may be liable for any losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. Such procedures may include, among others, requiring forms of personal identification prior to acting upon telephone instructions, providing written confirmations of such instructions and/or tape recording telephone instructions. Policy loans have priority over the claims of any assignee or other person. You may repay a Policy loan in whole or in part at any time while any Joint Insured is alive. We will normally pay the loan proceeds to you within seven days after we receive your request. We may postpone payment of loan proceeds to you under certain circumstances. See "General Provisions -- Postponement of Payments". Payments you make generally will be treated as premium payments, rather than Policy loan repayments, unless you indicate that we should treat the payment otherwise or unless we decide, at our discretion, to apply the payment as a Policy loan repayment. As a result, unless you indicate that a 33 payment is a loan repayment, all payments you make to the Policy will generally be subject to the Premium Expense Charge. See "Deductions and Charges -- Premium Expense Charge". IMMEDIATE EFFECT OF POLICY LOANS. When we make a Policy loan, we will segregate an amount equal to the Policy loan (which includes interest payable in advance) within the Accumulation Value of your Policy and hold it in the Fixed Account as security for the loan. As described below, you will pay interest to us on the Policy loan, but we will also credit interest to you on the amount held in the Fixed Account as security for the loan. We will include the amount segregated in the Fixed Account as security for the Policy loan as part of the Fixed Accumulation Value under the Policy, but we will credit that amount with interest on a basis different from other amounts in the Fixed Account. Unless you specify differently, amounts held as security for the Policy loan will come proportionately from the Fixed Accumulation Value and the Variable Accumulation Value (with the proportions being determined as described below). We will transfer assets equal to the portion of the Policy loan coming from the Variable Accumulation Value from the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account to the Fixed Account, THEREBY REDUCING THE POLICY VALUE HELD IN THE SUB-ACCOUNTS. We do not treat these transfers as transfers for the purposes of assessing the transfer charge or calculating the limit on the number of transfers. EFFECT ON INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. Amounts coming from the Variable Account as security for Policy loans will no longer participate in the investment performance of the Variable Account. We will credit all amounts held in the Fixed Account as security for Policy loans (that is, the Loan Amount) with interest at an effective annual rate equal to 3.00%. WE WILL NOT CREDIT ADDITIONAL INTEREST TO THESE AMOUNTS. On the Policy Anniversary, we will allocate any interest credited on these amounts to the Fixed Account and the Variable Account according to the premium allocation then in effect (see "Payment and Allocation of Premiums -- Allocating Premiums"). Although you may repay Policy loans in whole or in part at any time, Policy loans will permanently affect the Policy's potential Accumulation Value. As a result, to the extent that the Death Benefit depends upon the Accumulation Value (see "Death Benefit -- Death Benefit Options"), Policy loans will also affect the Death Benefit under the Policy. This effect could be favorable or unfavorable depending on whether the investment performance of the assets allocated to the Sub-Account(s) is less than or greater than the interest being credited on the assets transferred to the Fixed Account while the loan is outstanding. Compared to a Policy under which no loan is made, values under the Policy will be lower when such interest credited is less than the investment performance of assets held in the Sub-Account(s). EFFECT ON POLICY COVERAGE. We will notify you if, on any Monthly Anniversary, the Loan Amount is greater than the Accumulation Value, less the then applicable Surrender Charge. If we do not receive sufficient payment within 61 days from the date we send notice to you, the Policy will lapse and terminate without value. Our written notice to you will indicate the amount of the payment required to avoid lapse. The Policy may, however, later be reinstated. See "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement". A Policy loan may also cause termination of the Death Benefit Guarantee, because we deduct the Loan Amount from the total premiums paid in calculating whether you have paid sufficient premiums in order to maintain the Death Benefit Guarantee. See "Death Benefit Guarantee". We will reduce proceeds payable upon the death of the Insured by any Loan Amount. INTEREST. The interest rate charged on Policy loans will be an annual rate of 4.762%, payable in advance. After the 10th Policy Year, we currently charge interest at an annual rate of 2.913% (guaranteed not to exceed 3.382%), payable in advance, on that portion of your Loan Amount that is not in excess of (1) the Accumulation Value, less (2) the total of all premiums paid less all partial withdrawals. We will charge interest on any excess of this amount at the annual rate of 4.762%, payable in advance. Interest is payable in advance (for the rest of the Policy Year) at the time any Policy loan is made and at the beginning of each Policy Year thereafter (for that entire Policy Year). If you do not pay interest when due, we will deduct it from the Cash Surrender Value as an additional Policy loan (see "Immediate Effect of Policy Loans" above) and we will add it to the existing Loan Amount. Because we charge interest in advance, we will refund any interest that we have not earned to you upon lapse or surrender of the Policy or repayment of the Policy Loan. 34 REPAYMENT OF LOAN AMOUNT. You may repay the Loan Amount any time. If not repaid, we will deduct the Loan Amount from any amount payable under the Policy. As described above, unless you provide us with notice to the contrary, we generally will treat any payments on the Policy as premium payments, which are subject to the Premium Expense Charge, rather than repayments on the Loan Amount. Any repayments on the Loan Amount will result in amounts being reallocated from the Fixed Account and to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account according to your current premium allocation. TAX CONSIDERATIONS. A Policy loan may have tax consequences depending on the circumstances of the loan. See "Federal Tax Matters -- Tax Status of the Policy". FREE LOOK AND CONVERSION RIGHTS FREE LOOK RIGHTS The Policy provides for a "free look" period after application for and issuance of the Policy. The Policy also provides for a "free look" period after any requested increase in Face Amount. During the free look period after application for and issuance of the Policy, you have a right to return the Policy for cancellation. You must return the Policy to your agent or us and ask us to cancel the Policy by midnight of the 10th day after receiving the Policy. Upon cancellation of the Policy, you will receive a refund of premiums paid for the Policy. During the free look period after a requested increase in Face Amount, you have the right to cancel the increase. You must request cancellation of the increase by midnight of the 10th day after receiving the new Policy Data Page reflecting the increase. Upon requesting cancellation of the increase, you will receive a refund, if you so request, or otherwise a restoration to the Policy's Accumulation Value (allocated among the Fixed Account and the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account as if it were a Net Premium payment), in an amount equal to all Monthly Deductions attributable to the increase in Face Amount, including rider cost arising from the increase. CONVERSION RIGHTS During the first two Policy Years and the first two years following a requested increase in Face Amount, we provide you with an option to convert the Policy or any requested increase in Face Amount to a life insurance policy under which the benefits do not vary with the investment experience of the Variable Account. We make this option available by permitting you to transfer all or a part of your Variable Accumulation Value to the Fixed Account. Conversion rights are discussed below. GENERAL OPTION. You may exercise your conversion right by transferring all or any part of your Variable Accumulation Value to the Fixed Account. If, at any time during the first two Policy Years or the first two years following a requested increase in Face Amount, you request transfer from the Variable Account to the Fixed Account and indicate that you are making the transfer in exercise of your conversion right, we will not assess any transfer charge on the transfer, and the transfer will not count against the limit on the number of transfers. At the time of such transfer, there is no effect on the Policy's Death Benefit, Face Amount, net amount at risk, Rate Class(es) or Issue Age -- only the method of funding the Accumulation Value under the Policy will be affected. See "Death Benefit", "Accumulation Value" and Appendix A, "The Fixed Account". If you transfer all of the Variable Accumulation Value from the Variable Account to the Fixed Account and indicate that you are making this transfer in exercise of your Conversion Right, we will automatically credit all future premium payments on the policy to the Fixed Account unless you request a different allocation. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE INVESTMENTS OF THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT INVESTMENT LIMITS The Variable Account currently consists of 34 investment options. The Fund shares may be available to fund benefits under both variable annuity and variable life contracts and policies. This could result in an irreconcilable conflict between the interests of the holders of the different types of variable contracts. The Funds have advised us that they will monitor for such conflicts and will promptly provide us with information regarding any such conflicts should they arise or 35 become imminent, and we will promptly advise the Funds if we become aware of any such conflicts. If any such material irreconcilable conflict arises, we will arrange to eliminate and remedy such conflict up to and including establishing a new management investment company and segregating the assets underlying the variable policies and contracts at no cost to the holders of the policies and contracts. There also is a possibility that one Fund might become liable for any misstatement, inaccuracy or incomplete disclosure in another Fund's prospectus. The Funds distribute dividends and capital gains. However, we automatically reinvest distributions in additional Fund shares, at net asset value. The Sub-Account receives the distributions which are then reflected in the Unit Value of that Sub-Account. See "Accumulation Value". ReliaStar has entered into service arrangements with the managers or distributors of certain of the Funds. Under these arrangements, ReliaStar or its affiliates may receive compensation from affiliates of the Funds. This compensation is for providing administrative, recordkeeping, distribution and other services to the Funds or their affiliates. Such compensation is paid based upon assets invested in the particular Funds, or based on the aggregated net asset goals. Payments of such amounts by an affiliate or affiliates of the Funds do not increase the fees paid by the Funds or their shareholders. The percentage paid may vary from one Fund to another. ADDITION, DELETION, OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the shares that are held by the Variable Account or that the Variable Account may purchase. o We reserve the right to establish additional Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, each of which would invest in a new Fund, or in shares of another investment company, with a specified investment objective. We may establish new Sub-Accounts when, in our sole discretion, marketing needs or investment conditions warrant, and we will make any new Sub-Accounts available to existing Policy owners on a basis we determine. o We may eliminate one or more Sub-Accounts, or prohibit additional new premium or transfers into a Sub-Account, if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, regulatory requirements or investment conditions warrant. o We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any of the Funds and to substitute shares of another Fund or of another open-end, registered investment company. We will not substitute any shares attributable to your interest in a Sub-Account of the Variable Account without notice and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 or other applicable law. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Variable Account from: o Purchasing other securities of other Funds or classes of policies, o Permitting a conversion between Funds or classes of policies on the basis of requests made by Policy owners, or o Substituting the shares of one fund for shares of another fund in the event of a merger of funds or similar transaction. In the event of any such substitution, deletion or change, we may make appropriate changes in this and other policies to reflect such substitution, deletion or change. If you allocated all or a portion of your investments to any of the current funds that are being substituted for or deleted, you may transfer the portion of the Accumulation Value affected without paying a transfer charge. If we deem it to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the Policies, we may: o operate the Variable Account as a management company under the 1940 Act, o deregister the Variable Account under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required, or o combine the Variable Account with our other separate accounts. 36 VOTING RIGHTS You have the right to instruct us how to vote the Fund shares attributable to the Policy at regular meetings and special meetings of the Funds. We will vote the Fund shares held in Sub-Accounts according to the instructions received, as long as: o The Variable Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940; and o The Variable Account's assets are invested in Fund shares. If we determine that, because of applicable law or regulation, we do not have to vote according to the voting instructions received, we will vote the Fund shares at our discretion. All persons entitled to voting rights and the number of votes they may cast are determined as of a record date, selected by us, not more than 90 days before the meeting of the Fund. All Fund proxy materials and appropriate forms used to give voting instructions will be sent to persons having voting interests. We will vote any Fund shares held in the Variable Account for which we do not receive timely voting instructions, or which are not attributable to Policy owners, in proportion to the instructions received from all Policy owners having a voting interest in the Fund. Any Fund shares held by us or any of our affiliates in general accounts will, for voting purposes, be allocated to all separate accounts having voting interests in the Fund in proportion to each account's voting interest in the respective Fund, and will be voted in the same manner as are the respective account's votes. Owning the Policy does not give you the right to vote at meetings of our stockholders. DISREGARDING VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. We may, when required by state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if the instructions require that the shares be voted so as to cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of any Fund or to approve or disapprove an investment advisory contract for any Fund. In addition, we may disregard voting instructions in favor of changes initiated by a Policy owner in the investment policy or the investment adviser of any Fund if we reasonably disapprove of such changes. We would disapprove a change only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or we determine that the change would have an adverse effect on the Variable Account in that the proposed investment policy for a Fund may result in speculative or unsound investments. In the event we do disregard voting instructions, we will include a summary of that action and the reasons for such action in the next annual report to owners. GENERAL PROVISIONS BENEFITS AFTER AGE 100 If either of the Joint Insureds is living after age 100 of the younger Joint Insured and the Policy is in force, the Death Benefit will be the Accumulation Value. OWNERSHIP While the Surviving Joint Insured is alive, subject to the Policy's provisions you may: o Change the amount and frequency of premium payments. o Change the allocation of premiums. o Make transfers between accounts. o Surrender the Policy for cash. o Make a partial withdrawal for cash. o Receive a cash loan. o Assign the Policy as collateral. o Change the beneficiary. o Transfer ownership of the Policy. o Enjoy any other rights the Policy allows. While both Joint Insureds are alive, subject to this policy's provisions, you may: o Change the Death Benefit Option. o Change the Face Amount. 37 PROCEEDS At the Surviving Joint Insured's death, the proceeds payable include the Death Benefit then in force: o Plus any additional amounts provided by rider on the life of the Surviving Joint Insured; o Plus any Policy loan interest that we have collected but not earned; o Minus any Loan Amount; and o Minus any unpaid Monthly Deductions. BENEFICIARY You may name one or more beneficiaries on the application when you apply for the Policy. You may later change beneficiaries by written request. You may also name a beneficiary whom you cannot change without his or her consent (irrevocable beneficiary). If no beneficiary is surviving when the Surviving Joint Insured dies, we will pay the Death Benefit to you, if surviving, or otherwise to your estate. POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS We generally make payments from the Variable Account for Death Benefits, cash surrender, partial withdrawal, or loans within seven days after we receive all the documents required for the payments. We may, however, delay making a payment when we are not able to determine the Variable Accumulation Value because (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed, other than customary weekend or holiday closings, or the SEC restricts trading on the New York Stock Exchange, (2) the SEC by order permits postponement for the protection of Policyholders, or (3) the SEC determines that an emergency exists which makes disposing of securities not reasonably practicable, or which makes it not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Variable Account's net assets. We may also postpone transfers and allocations to and from any Sub-Account of the Variable Account under these circumstances. We may delay any of the payments that we make from the Fixed Account for up to six months from the date we receive the documents required. We will pay interest at an effective annual rate of 3.50% if we delay payment more than 30 days. We will not credit any additional interest to any delayed payments. The time a payment from the Fixed Account may be delayed and the rate of interest paid on such amounts may vary among states. SETTLEMENT OPTIONS Settlement Options are ways you can choose to have the Policy's proceeds paid. These Settlement Options apply to proceeds paid: o At the Surviving Joint Insured's death. o On total surrender of the Policy. We pay the proceeds to one or more payees. We may pay the proceeds in a lump sum or we may apply the proceeds to one of the following Settlement Options. You may request that we use a combination of Options. You must apply at least $2,500 to any Option for each payee under that Option. Under an installment Option, each payment must be at least $25.00. We may adjust the interval to make each payment at least $25.00. Proceeds applied to any Option no longer earn interest at the rate applied to the Fixed Account or participate in the investment performance of the Funds. Option 1 -- Proceeds are left with us to earn interest. Withdrawals and any changes are subject to our approval. Option 2 -- Proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments of a specified amount until the proceeds and interest are all paid. Option 3 -- Proceeds and interest are paid in equal installments for a specified period until the proceeds and interest are all paid. Option 4 -- The proceeds provide an annuity payment with a specified number of months "certain". The payments are continued for the life of the primary payee. If the primary payee dies before the certain period is over, the remaining payments are paid to a contingent payee. Option 5 -- The proceeds provide a life income for two payees. When one payee dies, the surviving payee receives two-thirds of the amount of the joint monthly payment for life. 38 INTEREST ON SETTLEMENT OPTIONS. We base the interest rate for proceeds applied under Options 1 and 2 on the interest rate we declare on funds that we consider to be in the same classification based on the Option, restrictions on withdrawal, and other factors. The interest rate will never be less than an effective annual rate of 2.00%. In determining amounts we pay under Options 3, 4,and 5, we assume interest at an effective annual rate of 2.00%. Also, for Option 3 and "certain" periods under Option 4, we credit any excess interest we may declare on funds that we consider to be in the same classification based on the Option, restrictions on withdrawal, and other factors. INCONTESTABILITY After the Policy has been in force during both Joint Insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy's Issue Date, we cannot claim the Policy is void or refuse to pay any proceeds unless the Policy has lapsed. If you make a Face Amount increase or a premium payment which requires proof of insurability, the corresponding Death Benefit increase has its own two-year contestable period measured from the effective date of the increase. If the Policy is reinstated, we measure the contestable period from the date of reinstatement with respect to statements made on the application for reinstatement. MISSTATEMENT OF AGE AND SEX If any Joint Insured's Age or sex or both are misstated (except where unisex rates apply), the Death Benefit will be the amount that the most recent cost of insurance would purchase using the current cost of insurance rate for the correct Age and sex. SUICIDE If any Joint Insured commits suicide, whether sane or insane, within two years of the Policy's Issue Date (one year in Colorado and North Dakota), we do not pay the Death Benefit. Instead, we refund all premiums paid for the Policy and any attached riders, minus any Loan Amounts and partial withdrawals. If you make a Face Amount increase or a premium payment which requires proof of insurability, the corresponding Death Benefit increase has its own two-year suicide limitation for the proceeds associated with that increase. If any Joint Insured commits suicide, whether sane or insane, within two years of the effective date of the increase, we pay the Death Benefit prior to the increase and refund the cost of insurance for that increase. TERMINATION The Policy terminates when any of the following occurs: o The Policy lapses. See "Policy Lapse and Reinstatement". o The Surviving Joint Insured dies. o You surrender the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value. o We amend the Policy according to the amendment provision described below and you do not accept the amendment. AMENDMENT We reserve the right to amend the Policy in order to include any future changes relating to the following: o Any SEC rulings and regulations. o The Policy's qualification for treatment as a life insurance policy under the following: -- The Code as amended. -- Internal Revenue Service rulings and regulations. -- Any requirements imposed by the Internal Revenue Service. REPORTS ANNUAL STATEMENT. We will send you an Annual Statement once each year, showing the Face Amount, Death Benefit, Accumulation Value, Cash Surrender Value, Loan Amount, premiums paid, Planned Periodic Premiums, interest credits, partial withdrawals, transfers, and charges since the last statement. 39 Additional statements are available upon request. We may make a charge not to exceed $50 for each additional Annual Statement you request. PROJECTION REPORT. Upon request, we will provide you a report projecting future results based on the Death Benefit Option you specify, the Planned Periodic Premiums you specify, and the Accumulation Value of your Policy at the end of the prior Policy Year. We may make a charge not to exceed $50 for each Projection Report you request after the first report and after the first report in a Policy Year. OTHER REPORTS. The Company will mail to you at your last known address of record at least annually a report containing such information as may be required by any applicable law. To reduce expenses, only one copy of most financial reports and prospectuses will be mailed to your household, even if you or other persons in your household have more than one Policy. Call 1-800-456-6965 if you need copies of financial reports, prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, or historical account information. DIVIDENDS The Policy does not entitle you to participate in our surplus. We do not pay you dividends under the Policy. The Sub-Account receives any dividends paid by the related Fund. Any such dividend is credited to you through the calculation of the Sub-Account's daily Unit Value. COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT You may assign the benefits of the Policy as collateral for a debt. This limits your rights to the Cash Surrender Value and the beneficiary's rights to the proceeds. An assignment is not binding on us until we receive written notice. OPTIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS The Policy can include additional benefits, in the form of riders to the Policy, if our requirements for issuing such benefits are met. We currently offer the following benefit riders, although some riders may not be available in some states. FOUR YEAR TERM RIDER (FTR) -- Provides a four year, level term benefit if the Surviving Joint Insured dies during the first four Policy Years. SURVIVORSHIP TERM RIDER (STR) -- Provides a level term insurance benefit payable on the death of the Surviving Joint Insured if death occurs prior to age 100 of the younger Joint Insured. The current cost of insurance rates for the rider are expected to be lower than for the base Policy. In addition, the base policy's Monthly Amount Charge per $1,000 and Surrender Charge do not apply to coverage under the rider. However, the STR will cause the Death Benefit Guarantee Period of the base Policy to be shortened. After the tenth policy year, if the base Death Benefit is equal to the Accumulation Value multiplied by the corridor percentage (see "Death Benefit"), the STR amount may be replaced with base coverage without providing evidence of insurability. The entire rider amount must be replaced if any amount is replaced. Neither Surrender Charges nor Monthly Amount Charges will apply to the new additional base coverage. Cost of insurance rates on this new additional base coverage will be equal to the cost of insurance rates for the original base coverage. There may be times in which it will be to your economic advantage to include a significant portion of your insurance coverage under a term rider. In some other circumstances, it may be in your interest to obtain a Policy without term rider coverage. These circumstances depend on many factors, including the premium levels and amount and duration of coverage you choose, as well as the ages, sexes, and premium classes of the Joint Insureds. POLICY SPLIT OPTION RIDER (PSO) -- Allows the policyowner to split the Policy into two individual permanent life insurance policies in the event of a divorce of the Joint Insureds, dissolution of a business partnership of the Joint Insureds, or if there is a change in the federal estate tax laws that would eliminate the unlimited marital deduction or reduce by at least 50% the estate taxes payable at death. Evidence of insurability on each Joint Insured may be required to exercise this option. There is no cost for this rider. ADDITIONAL INSURED RIDER -- Provides level term coverage to Age 100 on either of the Joint Insureds. 40 FULL DEATH BENEFIT RIDER -- Changes the calculation of the Death Benefit after Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured. Without the rider, the Death Benefit after Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured is the Accumulation Value. With the rider, the Death Benefit after Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured will continue to be calculated reflecting the chosen Death Benefit Option. At Age 100 of the younger Joint Insured, all of the Variable Accumulation Value will be transferred to the Fixed Account and subsequent transfers will not be allowed. There will be no cost of insurance charges assessed after age 100 of the younger Joint Insured. FEDERAL TAX MATTERS INTRODUCTION The following summary provides a general description of the Federal income tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover all tax situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax advisors should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is based upon the Company's understanding of the present Federal income tax laws. No representation is made as to the likelihood of continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or as to how they may be interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). Any qualified plan contemplating the purchase of a life policy should consult a tax advisor. TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY In order to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance contracts under Federal tax law, a Policy must satisfy certain requirements which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. Guidance as to how these requirements are to be applied is limited, especially for policies issued on a last survivor basis. Nevertheless, the Company believes that a Policy issued on the basis of a standard risk class should satisfy the applicable requirements. There is less guidance with respect to Policies issued on a substandard basis (i.e., a premium class involving higher than standard mortality risk), and it is not clear whether such a Policy would satisfy the applicable requirements, particularly if the owner pays the full amount of premiums permitted under the Policy. If it is subsequently determined that a Policy does not satisfy the applicable requirements, the Company may take appropriate steps to bring the Policy into compliance with such requirements and reserves the right to restrict Policy transactions in order to do so. In certain circumstances, owners of variable life insurance contracts have been considered for Federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the variable account supporting their policies due to their ability to exercise investment control over these assets. Where this is the case, the policy owners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the variable account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the Policies, such as the flexibility of an owner to allocate premium payments and Policy Accumulation Values, have not been explicitly addressed in published rulings. While the Company believes that the Policies do not give owners investment control over Variable Account assets, the Company reserves the right to modify the Policies as necessary to prevent an owner from being treated as the owner of the Variable Account assets supporting the Policy. In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Variable Account be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policies to be treated as life insurance contracts for Federal income tax purposes. It is intended that the Variable Account, through the Funds, will satisfy these diversification requirements. The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS IN GENERAL. The Company believes that the Death Benefit under a Policy should be excludible from the gross income of the Beneficiary. Federal, state and local transfer, and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on the circumstances of each owner or beneficiary. A tax advisor should be consulted on these consequences. Generally, the owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the Policy Accumulation Value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a Policy occur, including payments arising 41 from any maturity benefits, or when loans are taken out from or secured by (e.g., by assignment), a Policy, the tax consequences depend on whether the Policy is classified as a "Modified Endowment Contract." MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. Under the Internal Revenue Code, certain life insurance contracts are classified as "Modified Endowment Contracts," with less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance contracts. Due to the flexibility of the Policies as to premiums and benefits, the individual circumstances of each Policy will determine whether it is classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. The rules are too complex to be summarized here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums paid during the first seven Policy Years. Certain changes in a Policy after it is issued could also cause it to be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. A current or prospective owner should consult with a competent advisor to determine whether a Policy transaction will cause the Policy to be classified as a Modified Endowment Contract. The Company will monitor the Policies, however, and will attempt to notify an owner on a timely basis if it believes that such owner's Policy is in jeopardy of becoming a Modified Endowment Contract. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS ARE SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING TAX RULES: (1) All distributions, including distributions upon surrender and withdrawals, will be treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the unloaned Policy Accumulation Value (Cash Surrender Value for surrenders) immediately before the distribution plus prior distributions over the owner's total investment in the Policy at that time. "Total investment in the Policy" means the aggregate amount of any premiums or other considerations paid for a Policy, plus any previously taxed distributions, minus any credited dividends. (2) Loans taken from or secured by (e.g., by assignment) such a Policy are treated as distributions and taxed accordingly. (3) A 10 percent additional income tax is imposed on the amount included in income except where distribution or loan is made when the owner has attained age 591/2 or is disabled, or where the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the owner or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the owner and the owner's beneficiary or designated beneficiary. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES THAT ARE NOT MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. Distributions from a Policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract are generally treated first as a recovery of an owner's investment in the Policy and only after the recovery of all investment in the Policy as taxable income. However, certain distributions which must be made in order to enable the Policy to continue to qualify as a life insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes if Policy benefits are reduced during the first 15 Policy Years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax. Loans from or secured by a Policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract are not treated as distributions, except that upon lapse of a Policy any outstanding Policy loan will be deemed to be distributed. Finally, neither distributions from nor loans from or secured by a Policy that is not a Modified Endowment Contract are subject to the 10 percent additional tax. POLICY LOANS. In general, interest on a loan from a Policy will not be deductible. Before taking out a Policy loan, you should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences. MULTIPLE POLICIES. All Modified Endowment Contracts that we (or our affiliates) issue to the same owner during any calendar year are treated as one Modified Endowment Contract for purposes of determining the amount includible in the owner's income when a taxable distribution occurs. TAXATION OF RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY We do not initially expect to incur any income tax burden upon the earnings or the realized capital gains attributable to the Variable Account. Based on this expectation, we currently make no charge to the Variable Account for Federal income taxes which may be attributable to the Account. If, however, we determine that we may incur such tax burden, we may assess a charge for such burden from the Variable Account. 42 We may also incur state and local taxes, in addition to premium taxes, in several states. At present these taxes are not significant. If there is a material change in state or local tax laws, we may make charges for such taxes, if any, attributable to the Variable Account. POSSIBLE CHANGES IN TAXATION Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the Policy could change by legislation or other means. Moreover, it is also possible that any change could be retroactive (that is, effective prior to the date of the change). You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the Policy. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS The foregoing discussion is general and is not intended as tax advice. Any person concerned about these tax implications should consult a competent tax advisor. This discussion is based on our understanding of the present Federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service. We make no representations as to the likelihood of continuation of these current laws and interpretations. In addition, the foregoing discussion is not exhaustive and special rules not described in this Prospectus may be applicable in certain situations. Moreover, we have made no attempt to consider any applicable state or other tax laws. LEGAL DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING EMPLOYMENT-RELATED BENEFIT PLANS The Policy is based on actuarial tables which distinguish between men and women and therefore provide different benefits to men and women of the same Age. Employers and employee organizations should consider, in consultation with legal counsel, the impact of the Supreme Court decision of July 6, 1983 in ARIZONA GOVERNING COMMITTEE V. NORRIS. That decision stated that optional annuity benefits provided under an employee's deferred compensation plan could not, under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, vary between men and women on the basis of sex. Employers and employee organizations should also consider, in consultation with legal counsel, the impact of Title VII generally, and comparable state laws that may be applicable, on any employment-related insurance or benefit plan for which a Policy may be purchased. Because of the NORRIS decision, the charges under the Policy that vary depending on sex may in some cases not vary on the basis of the Insured's sex. Unisex rates to be provided by us will apply, if requested on the application, for tax-qualified plans and those plans where an employer believes that the NORRIS decision applies. In this case, references made to the mortality tables applicable to this Policy are to be disregarded and substituted with an 80% male 20% female blend of the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker Mortality Tables, Age Last Birthday. DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES We intend to sell the Policies in all jurisdictions where we are licensed. The Policies will be distributed pursuant to an agreement dated January 15, 1993, between us and Washington Square Securities, Inc., (WSSI), a Minnesota corporation, which is an affiliate of ours. WSSI, located at 20 Washington Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55401, is a securities broker-dealer organized on April 26, 1968 registered with the SEC and is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. It is primarily a mutual funds dealer and has dealer agreements under which it markets shares of many mutual funds. It also markets limited partnerships and other tax-sheltered or tax-deferred investments, and acts as general distributor (principal underwriter) for variable annuity and variable life insurance products issued by us. The Policies will be sold by licensed insurance agents who are also registered representatives of WSSI or of other broker-dealers registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The Policies may also be sold through other broker-dealers authorized by WSSI and applicable law to do so. Registered representatives of such broker-dealers may be paid on a different basis than described below. The Policies will be sold by licensed insurance agents who are also registered representatives of broker-dealers registered with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Registered representatives who sell the Policies will receive commissions based on a commission schedule. In the first Policy Year, commissions generally will be no more than 50% of the premiums paid up to the annualized Minimum Monthly Premium, plus 2% 43 of additional premiums. In Policy Years 2 through 10, commissions generally will be 2% of premiums paid in that year. Corresponding commissions will be paid upon a requested increase in Face Amount. In addition, a commission of .10% of the average monthly Accumulation Value excluding any Loan Amount during each Policy Year may be paid after Policy Year 10. Further, registered representatives may be eligible to receive certain overrides and other benefits based on the amount of earned commissions. For all Policies issued by the Select*Life Variable Account, the aggregate amounts paid to WSSI under our Distribution Agreement was $51,164,472 in 1999, $46,485,880 in 1998, and $34,572,698 in 1997.

Renelt* Assistant Secretary Allen Kidd Assistant Secretary 222 North Arch Road Richmond, Virginia 23236 - ------------------ * 20 Washington Avenue South Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401 47 STATE REGULATION We are subject to the laws of the State of Minnesota governing insurance companies and to regulation and supervision by the Insurance Division of the State of Minnesota. We file an annual statement in a prescribed form with the Insurance Division each year, and in each state we do business, covering our operations for the preceding year and our financial condition as of the end of that year. Our books and accounts are subject to review by the Insurance Division and a full examination of our operations is conducted periodically (usually every three years) by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. This regulation does not, however, involve supervision or management of our investment practices or policies. In addition, we are subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which we operate. We are also subject to supervision and verification by the State of Minnesota regarding participating business allocated to the Participation Fund Account, which was established in connection with the reorganization and demutualization of the Company in 1989. The Participation Fund Account was established for the purpose of maintaining the dividend practices relative to certain policies previously issued by the Company's former Mutual Department. The Participation Fund Account is not a separate account as described under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 61A. An annual examination of the Participation Fund Account is made by independent consulting actuaries representing the Insurance Division of the State of Minnesota. MONTANA RESIDENTS If you are a resident of Montana, you should disregard all Policy provisions described in the prospectus that are based on the sex of the Insured. We will issue this Policy in Montana on a unisex basis. You also should disregard references made to the mortality tables applicable to this Policy and substitute these references with an 80% male 20% female blend of the 1980 Commissioner's Standard Ordinary Smoker and Non-Smoker Mortality Tables, Age Last Birthday. You should also be aware that the Illustration of Policy Values that are included as an exhibit to the registration statement are sex distinct and therefore, you should request a unisex illustration. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Variable Account is not a party to any pending legal proceedings. The Company is a defendant in various lawsuits in connection with the normal conduct of its insurance operations. Some of the claims seek to be granted class action status and many of the claims seek both compensatory and punitive damages. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse impact to the financial position of the Company. It should be noted, however, that a number of financial services companies have been subjected to significant awards in connection with punitive damages claims and the Company can make no assurances that it will not be subjected to such an award. The defense of the putative class actions pending against the Company may require the commitment of substantial internal resources and the retention of legal counsel and expert advisors. BONDING ARRANGEMENTS The Company maintains a blanket bond providing $25,000,000 coverage for our officers and employees and those of Washington Square Securities, Inc., (WSSI), subject to a $500,000 deductible.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the management of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We have conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures include confirmation of the securities owned as of December 31, 1999, by correspondence with the account custodians. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

Minneapolis, Minnesota We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related statements of income, shareholder's equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 and 1998 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (ReliaStar Life or the Company) is principally engaged in the business of providing life insurance and related financial services products. The Company provides and distributes individual life insurance and annuities; employee benefit products and services; retirement plans and life and health reinsurance. The Company operates primarily in the United States and, through its subsidiaries, is authorized to conduct business in all 50 states. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and exclude the effects of all material intercompany transactions. ReliaStar Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of ReliaStar Financial Corp. (ReliaStar). ReliaStar Life's principal subsidiaries are Northern Life Insurance Company (Northern), Security-Connecticut Life Insurance Company (Security-Connecticut), ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (RLNY) and ReliaStar Reinsurance Group (UK), Ltd. Effective December 31, 1998, ReliaStar United Services Life Insurance Company, an affiliate, merged with and into ReliaStar Life. USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INVESTMENTS Fixed maturity securities (bonds and redeemable preferred stocks) are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value. Equity securities (common stocks and nonredeemable preferred stocks) are carried at fair value. Mortgage loans on real estate are carried at amortized cost less an impairment allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts. Investment real estate owned directly by the Company is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and allowances for estimated losses. Investments in real estate joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Real estate acquired through foreclosure is carried at the lower of fair value less estimated costs to sell or cost. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Unrealized investment gains and losses on equity securities and fixed maturity securities, net of related deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC), present value of future profits (PVFP) and tax effects, are accounted for as a direct increase or decrease to the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of shareholder's equity. Realized investment gains and losses enter into the determination of net income. Realized investment gains and losses on sales of securities are determined on the specific identification method. Write-offs of investments that decline in value below cost on other than a temporary basis and the change in the allowance for mortgage loans and wholly owned real estate are included with realized investment gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company records write-offs or allowances for its investments based upon an evaluation of specific problem investments. The Company periodically reviews all invested assets (including marketable bonds, private placements, mortgage loans and real estate investments) to identify investments where the Company has credit concerns. Investments with credit concerns include those the Company has identified as problem investments, which are issues delinquent in a required payment of principal or interest, issues in bankruptcy or foreclosure and restructured or foreclosed assets. The Company also 84 identifies investments as potential problem investments, which are investments where the Company has serious doubts as to the ability of the borrowers to comply with the present loan repayment terms. INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS Interest rate swap agreements are used as hedges for asset/liability management of adjustable rate and short-term invested assets. The Company does not enter into any interest rate swap agreements for trading purposes. The interest rate swap transactions involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payments without the exchange of underlying principal amounts and do not contain other optional provisions. The Company utilizes the settlement method of accounting for its interest rate swap agreements whereby the difference between amounts paid and amounts received or accrued on interest rate swap agreements is reflected in net investment income. The characteristics (notional amount, maturity and payment dates) of the interest rate swap agreements are similar to the characteristics of the designated hedged assets. Interest rate swaps are carried at fair value, and changes in fair value are recorded as a direct increase or decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive income component of shareholder's equity. In the event an interest rate swap agreement would cease to qualify for hedge accounting, changes in fair value of the affected swap would be recorded as income or expense. There were no terminations of interest rate swap agreements during 1999 and 1998. EQUITY INDEX CALL OPTIONS Equity index call options are tied to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and are used for asset/liability management of equity indexed annuity products. The Company does not purchase options for trading purposes. The notional amounts and other characteristics of the options correspond to the characteristics of obligations to policyholders for deposits received on equity indexed annuities. The change in the fair value of the call options approximates the change in the corresponding equity indexed annuity account value. The call options are carried at fair value, and changes in fair value are recorded as income or expense, consistent with the equity indexed annuity products. POLICY ACQUISITION COSTS Those costs of acquiring new business, which vary with and are primarily related to the production of new business, have been deferred to the extent that such costs are deemed recoverable. Such costs include commissions, certain costs of policy issuance and underwriting and certain variable agency expenses. Costs deferred related to traditional life insurance products are amortized over the premium paying period of the related policies, in proportion to the ratio of annual premium revenues to total anticipated premium revenues. Such anticipated premium revenues are estimated using the same assumptions used for computing liabilities for future policy benefits. Costs deferred related to universal life-type policies and investment contracts are amortized over the lives of the policies, in relation to the present value of estimated gross profits from mortality, investment, surrender and expense margins. PRESENT VALUE OF FUTURE PROFITS The present value of future profits reflects the estimated fair value of acquired insurance business in force and represents the portion of the acquisition cost that was allocated to the value of future cash flows from insurance contracts existing at the date of acquisition. Such value is the present value of the actuarially determined projected net cash flows from the acquired insurance contracts. PVFP is amortized over the lives of the acquired insurance business in force in a manner consistent with amortization of policy acquisition costs. 85 An analysis of the PVFP asset account is presented below: (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- Balance, Beginning of Year .......................... $ 422.5 $ 480.0 Acquisition ......................................... -- (7.3) Imputed Interest .................................... 26.9 31.0 Amortization ........................................ (77.5) (90.1) Impact of Net Unrealized Investment Losses .......... 62.7 8.9 - ------------------------------------------------------ -------- -------- BALANCE, END OF YEAR ................................ $ 434.6 $ 422.5 ====================================================== ======== ======== Based on current conditions and assumptions as to future events on acquired policies in force, the Company expects that the net amortization of the December 31, 1999, PVFP balance will be between 6% and 9% in each of the years 2000 through 2004. The interest rates used to determine the amount of imputed interest on the unamortized PVFP balance ranged from 5% to 8%. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment are carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation of $104.6 million and $100.5 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The Company provides for depreciation of property and equipment using straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Buildings are generally depreciated over 35 to 50 years. Depreciation expense for the years ending December 31, 1999 and 1998, totaled $4.7 million and $6.0 million, respectively. GOODWILL Goodwill is the excess of the amount paid to acquire a company over the fair value of the net assets acquired and is amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. The carrying value of goodwill is monitored for indicators of impairment of value. No events or circumstances were identified which warrant consideration of impairment or a revised estimate of useful lives. PARTICIPATION FUND ACCOUNT On January 3, 1989, the Commissioner of Commerce of the State of Minnesota approved a Plan of Conversion and Reorganization (the Plan) which provided, among other things, for the conversion of ReliaStar Life from a combined stock and mutual life insurance company to a stock life insurance company. The Plan provided for the establishment of a Participation Fund Account (PFA) for the benefit of certain participating individual life insurance policies and annuities issued by ReliaStar Life prior to the effective date of the Plan. Under the terms of the PFA, the insurance liabilities and assets with respect to such policies are segregated in the accounting records of ReliaStar Life to assure the continuation of policyholder dividend practices. Assets and liabilities of the PFA are presented in accordance with statutory accounting practices. Earnings derived from the operation of the PFA inure solely to the benefit of the policies covered by the PFA and no benefit will inure to the Company. Accordingly, results of operations for the PFA are excluded from the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. In the event that the assets of the PFA are insufficient to provide the contractual benefits guaranteed by the affected policies, ReliaStar Life must provide such contractual benefits from its general assets. SEPARATE ACCOUNTS The Company operates separate accounts. The assets and liabilities of the separate accounts are primarily related to variable annuity, variable life and 401(k) contracts and represent policyholder-directed funds that are separately administered. The assets (primarily investments) and liabilities (primarily to contractholders) of each account are clearly identifiable and distinguishable from other assets and liabilities of the Company. Assets are carried at fair value. Revenues from these separate account contracts consist primarily of charges for mortality risk and expenses, cost of insurance, contract administration and surrender charges. Revenue for these products is recognized when due. FUTURE POLICY AND CONTRACT BENEFITS Liabilities for future policy benefits for traditional life contracts are calculated using the net level premium method and assumptions as to investment yields, mortality, withdrawals and dividends. The assumptions are based on projections of past experience and include provisions for possible unfavorable deviation. These assumptions are made at the time the contract is issued or, for purchased contracts, at the date of acquisition. 86 Liabilities for future policy and contract benefits on universal life-type and investment contracts are based on the policy account balance. The liabilities for future policy and contract benefits for group disabled life reserves and long-term disability reserves are based upon interest rate assumptions and morbidity and termination rates from published tables, modified for Company experience. INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes includes amounts currently payable and deferred income taxes resulting from the cumulative temporary differences in the assets and liabilities determined on a tax return and financial statement basis. The Company files a consolidated tax return with certain of its affiliates. The method by which the total consolidated federal income tax for each entity is allocated to each of the companies is subject to a written agreement approved by the Company's Board of Directors. Allocation is based upon a separate return calculation such that each company in the consolidated return pays the same tax or receives the same refunds it would have paid or received had it consistently filed separate federal income tax returns. Intercompany tax balances are settled within a reasonable time after filing of the consolidated federal income tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. PREMIUM REVENUE AND BENEFITS TO POLICYHOLDERS RECOGNITION OF TRADITIONAL LIFE, GROUP AND ANNUITY PREMIUM REVENUE AND BENEFITS TO POLICYHOLDERS -- Traditional life insurance products include those products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits and consist principally of term and whole life insurance policies and certain annuities with life contingencies (immediate annuities). Life insurance premiums and immediate annuity premiums are recognized as premium revenue when due. Group insurance premiums are recognized as premium revenue over the time period to which the premiums relate. Benefits and expenses are associated with earned premiums so as to result in recognition of profits over the life of the contracts. This association is accomplished by means of the provision for liabilities for future policy benefits and the amortization of DAC and PVFP. RECOGNITION OF UNIVERSAL LIFE-TYPE CONTRACT REVENUE AND BENEFITS TO POLICYHOLDERS -- Universal life-type policies are insurance contracts with terms that are not fixed and guaranteed. The terms that may be changed could include one or more of the amounts assessed the policyholder, premiums paid by the policyholder or interest accrued to policyholder balances. Amounts received as deposits to such contracts are not reported as premium revenues. Revenues for universal life-type policies consist of charges assessed against policy account values for deferred policy loading and the cost of insurance and policy administration. Policy benefits and claims that are charged to expense include interest credited to contracts and benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related policy account balances. RECOGNITION OF INVESTMENT CONTRACT REVENUE AND BENEFITS TO POLICYHOLDERS -- Contracts that do not subject the Company to risks arising from policyholder mortality or morbidity are referred to as investment contracts. Retirement plan contracts, Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GICs) and certain deferred annuities are considered investment contracts. Amounts received as deposits for such contracts are not reported as premium revenues. Revenues for investment products consist of investment income and charges assessed against contract account values for policy administration. Contract benefits that are charged to expense include benefit claims incurred in the period in excess of related contract balances, and interest credited to contract balances. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES ACCOUNTING FOR TRANSFERS AND SERVICING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND EXTINGUISHMENTS OF LIABILITIES Effective for transactions occurring on or after January 1, 1998, the Company adopted those provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities," which were deferred by SFAS No. 127, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Certain Provisions of FASB Statement No. 125." SFAS No. 125 requires a company to recognize the financial and servicing assets it controls and the liabilities it has 87 incurred and to derecognize financial assets when control has been surrendered in accordance with the criteria provided in SFAS No. 125. The adoption of this standard had no effect on the financial results of the Company. REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a company's full set of financial statements. Comprehensive income encompasses all changes in shareholder's equity from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. Adoption of this standard had no effect on the financial results of the Company. EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURES ABOUT PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS Effective December 31, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." SFAS No. 132 requires new disclosures relating to a company's pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Adoption of this standard had no effect on the financial results of the Company. ACCOUNTING FOR THE COST OF COMPUTER SOFTWARE DEVELOPED OR OBTAINED FOR INTERNAL USE Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Position (SOP) No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." SOP No. 98-1 provides guidance on accounting for costs associated with computer software developed or obtained for internal use. Adoption of this standard did not have a significant effect on the financial results of the Company.

The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market are obtained through several commercial pricing services which provide the estimated fair values. Fair values of privately placed bonds which are not considered problems are determined using a matrix-based pricing model. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer and cash flow characteristics of the security. Using this data, the model generates estimated market values which the Company considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond. Fair values for privately placed bonds which are considered problems are determined through consideration of factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees and the Company's evaluation of the borrower's ability to compete in their relevant market. At December 31, 1999, the largest industry concentration in the private placement portfolio was mortgage-backed/structured finance, where 16.9% of the portfolio was invested, and the largest industry concentration in the marketable bond portfolio was mortgage-backed/structured finance, where 34.5% of the portfolio was invested. EQUITY SECURITIES The cost and fair value of investments in equity securities were as follows: DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- ------- Cost ........................................................................ $ 42.7 $ 48.1 Gross Unrealized Gains ...................................................... 2.8 2.2 Gross Unrealized Losses .....................................................

Interest 89 income recognized on impaired mortgage loans during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, was $1.1 and $.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 1999, the largest geographic concentration of commercial mortgage loans was in the Midwest region of the United States, where approximately 36.0% of the commercial mortgage loan portfolio was invested.

NOTE 3. NOTES AND MORTGAGES PAYABLE A summary of notes and mortgages payable is as follows: DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- ------- Unaffiliated: Current Portion ............................................................ $ 5.8 $ .2 Noncurrent Portion ......................................................... 2.2 8.0 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- ------- TOTAL UNAFFILIATED .......................................................... $ 8.0 $ 8.2 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------- ------- NOTE PAYABLE TO PARENT ...................................................... $ 100.0 $ 100.0 ============================================================================== ======= ======= At December 31, 1999 and 1998, unaffiliated debt consisted primarily of mortgage notes assumed in connection with certain real estate investments with interest rates ranging from 6.2% to 9.6%. Principal payments required in each of the next five years and thereafter are as follows: (IN MILLIONS) - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 - $ 5.8 2003 - $ .1 2001 - $ 2.0 2004 - $ -- 2002 - $ .1 2005 and thereafter - $ -- - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ReliaStar has loaned $100.0 million to ReliaStar Life under a surplus note. The original note, dated April 1, 1989, was issued in connection with ReliaStar Life's demutualization and was used to offset the surplus reduction related to the cash distribution to the mutual policyholders in the demutualization. This original note was replaced by a successor surplus note (the 1994 Note) dated November 1, 1994. The 1994 Note provides, subject to the regulatory constraints discussed below, that (i) it is a surplus note which will mature on September 15, 2003 with principal due at maturity, but payable without penalty, in whole or in part before maturity; (ii) interest is at 65/8% payable semi-annually; and (iii) in the event that 91 ReliaStar Life is in default in the payment of any required interest or principal, ReliaStar Life cannot pay cash dividends on its capital stock (all of which is owned directly by ReliaStar). The 1994 Note further provides that there may be no payment of interest or principal without the express approval of the Minnesota Department of Commerce. Interest paid on unaffiliated debt was $.4 million during both 1999 and 1998. NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The income tax liability reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following: DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - -------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- Current Income Taxes .................................. $ 59.4 $ 18.4 Deferred Income Taxes ................................. 57.9 207.0 - -------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- TOTAL ................................................. $ 117.3 $ 225.4 ======================================================== ======= ======= Deferred income taxes reflect the impact for financial statement reporting purposes of "temporary differences" between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The "temporary differences" that give rise to the net deferred tax liability relate to the following: DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Future Policy and Contract Benefits ............... $ (381.2) $ (368.8) Net Unrealized Investment Losses ..................

Generally, this policyholders' surplus account will become subject to tax at the then current rates only if the accumulated balance exceeds certain maximum limitations or if certain cash distributions are deemed to be paid out of the account. At December 31, 1999, ReliaStar Life and its life insurance subsidiaries have 92 accumulated approximately $51.0 million in their separate policyholders' surplus accounts. Deferred taxes have not been provided on this temporary difference. There have been no deferred taxes recorded for the unremitted equity in subsidiaries as the earnings are considered to be permanently invested or will be remitted only when tax effective to do so. The Internal Revenue Service has completed its review of the Company's tax return for all years through 1995. Cash paid for federal income taxes was $52.2 million and $123.3 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. NOTE 5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS SUCCESS SHARING PLAN AND ESOP The Success Sharing Plan and ESOP (Success Sharing Plan) was designed to increase employee ownership and reward employees when certain ReliaStar performance objectives are met. Essentially all employees are eligible to participate in the Success Sharing Plan. The Success Sharing Plan has both qualified and nonqualified components. The nonqualified component is equal to 25% of the annual award and is paid in cash to employees. The qualified component is equal to 75% of the annual award which is contributed to the ESOP portion of the Success Sharing Plan. In addition, the Success Sharing Plan has a 401(k) feature whereby participants may elect to contribute a percentage of their eligible earnings to the plan. Beginning in 1999, the Company matched participants' 401(k) contributions up to 6% of eligible earnings. Costs charged to expense for the Success Sharing Plan were $7.2 million and $6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company has funded and unfunded noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans which provide benefits to employees upon retirement (Pension Plans). Effective December 31, 1998, the Company's qualified defined benefit retirement plan was amended to suspend the accrual of additional benefits for future services. Eligible employees retain all of their accrued benefits as of December 31, 1998, which will be paid monthly at retirement according to the provisions of the plan. Employees meeting certain age and service requirements will receive certain transition benefits until retirement. A curtailment gain was recorded in 1998 to reflect the impact of this plan amendment and the impact of employee reductions resulting from the transfer of certain accident and health administrative operations to a third party. The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and their eligible dependents (Other Plans). The postretirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually; the life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage. Net periodic expense or benefit for ReliaStar and its subsidiaries for pension and other plans included the following components: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------- ------- ------- PENSION PLANS Service Cost ......................................... $ .3 $ 3.2 Interest Cost ........................................ 16.6 16.7 Expected Return on Plan Assets .......................

As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, pension plan assets included 1,232,982 shares of ReliaStar common stock with a fair value of $48.3 million and $56.9 million, respectively. The benefit obligations for the pension and other postretirement plans were determined using assumed discount rates of 7.5% and 7.0% as of January 1, 2000 and 1999, respectively. A weighted-average long-term rate of compensation increase of 4.5% was used for the pension benefit obligation. The assumed long-term rate of return on pension plan assets was 10.5% in 1999 and 1998. The assumed health care cost trend rate for 2000 and thereafter used in measuring the 94 postretirement health care benefit obligation was 5.0%. The assumed health care cost trend rate has an effect on the amounts reported. For example, a one-percentage-point increase in the rate would increase the 1999 total service and interest cost by $.1 million and the post retirement health care benefit obligation by $.5 million. A one-percentage-point decrease in the rate would decrease the 1999 total service and interest cost by $.1 million and the post retirement health care benefit obligation by $.5 million. The above amounts are for ReliaStar and its subsidiaries as the Company's portion is not determinable. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN Officers and key employees of the Company participate in the stock incentive plans of ReliaStar. ReliaStar applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, the Company has recorded no compensation expense for its stock-based compensation plans other than for restricted stock and performance-based awards. Had compensation cost for ReliaStar's stock option plans been determined based upon the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans, consistent with the optional accounting methodology prescribed under SFAS No. 123, ReliaStar's net income would have been reduced by approximately $11.1 million and $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The weighted average fair value per option granted during 1999 and 1998 was $10.54 and $11.74, respectively, on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: annual dividend yield ranging from 1.6% to 1.8%, volatility factors ranging from .1881 to .2693, risk-free interest rates ranging from 5.2% to 6.2% and an expected life of 5.0 to 5.8 years. NOTE 6. UNPAID ACCIDENT AND HEALTH CLAIMS The change in the liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses is summarized as follows: (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Balance at January 1 .................................... $ 480.3 $ 387.0 Less Reinsurance Recoverables ........................... 180.9 120.2 - ---------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Net Balance at January 1 ................................ 299.4 266.8 Incurred Related to: Current Year ........................................... 286.0 204.4 Prior Years ............................................ 20.8 8.2 - ---------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total Incurred .......................................... 306.8 212.6 Paid Related to: Current Year ........................................... 113.2 84.2 Prior Years ............................................ 130.9 95.8 - ---------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- Total Paid .............................................. 244.1 180.0 Net Balance at December 31 .............................. 362.1 299.4 Plus Reinsurance Recoverables ........................... 293.4 180.9 - ---------------------------------------------------------- -------- -------- BALANCE AT DECEMBER 31 .................................. $ 655.5 $ 480.3 ========================================================== ======== ======== The liability for unpaid accident and health claims and claim adjustment expenses is included in Future Policy and Contract Benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. NOTE 7. SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY SHARE DATA The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 25,000,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares, all with a par value of $1.25 per share. 2,000,000 common shares are issued and outstanding as of December 31, 1999 and 1998. DIVIDEND RESTRICTIONS ReliaStar Life's ability to pay cash dividends to ReliaStar is restricted by law or subject to approval of the insurance regulatory authorities of Minnesota. These authorities recognize only statutory accounting practices for determining the ability of an insurer to pay dividends to its shareholders. 95 Under Minnesota insurance law regulating the payment of dividends by ReliaStar Life, any such payment must be an amount deemed prudent by ReliaStar Life's Board of Directors and, unless otherwise approved by the Commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Commerce (the Commissioner), must be paid solely from the adjusted earned surplus of ReliaStar Life. Adjusted earned surplus means the earned surplus as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices (unassigned funds) less 25% of the amount of such earned surplus which is attributable to unrealized capital gains. Further, without approval of the Commissioner, ReliaStar Life may not pay in any calendar year any dividend which, when combined with other dividends paid within the preceding 12 months, exceeds the greater of (i) 10% of ReliaStar Life's statutory surplus at the prior year-end or (ii) 100% of ReliaStar Life's statutory net gain from operations (not including realized capital gains) for the prior calendar year. For 2000, the amount of dividends which can be paid by ReliaStar Life without Commissioner approval is $208.4 million. STATUTORY SURPLUS AND NET INCOME Net income of ReliaStar Life and its subsidiaries, as determined in accordance with statutory accounting practices, was $191.9 million and $153.3 million for 1999 and 1998, respectively. ReliaStar Life's statutory capital and surplus was $1,153.7 million and $1,063.4 million at December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. NOTE 8. REINSURANCE The Company is a member of reinsurance associations established for the purpose of ceding the excess of life insurance over retention limits. The Reinsurance Division of ReliaStar Life assumes and cedes reinsurance on certain life and health risks as its primary business. Reinsurance contracts do no relieve the Company from its obligations to policyholders. Failure of reinsurers to honor their obligations could result in losses to the Company; consequently, allowances are established for amounts deemed uncollectible. The amount of the allowance for uncollectible reinsurance receivables was immaterial at December 31, 1999 and 1998. The Company evaluates the financial condition of its reinsurers and monitors concentrations of credit risk to minimize its exposure to significant losses from reinsurer insolvencies. ReliaStar Life's retention limit is $1,000,000 per insurable life for individual coverage, with lower retention limits at ReliaStar Life's subsidiaries. For group coverage and reinsurance assumed, the retention is $500,000 per life with per occurrence limitations, subject to certain maximums. As of December 31, 1999, $47.9 billion of life insurance in force was ceded to other companies. The Company had assumed $55.7 billion of life insurance in force as of December 31, 1999. Included in these amounts are $50.9 billion of reinsurance assumed pertaining to Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance and Servicemans' Group Life Insurance. Also included in the above amounts are $4.8 billion of reinsurance assumed and $.9 billion of reinsurance ceded by the Reinsurance Division of ReliaStar Life. Premium amounts received for prospective reinsurance that meet conditions for reinsurance accounting are recorded as unearned premium revenue and amortized into earned premium ratably over the remaining reinsurance contract period. The effect of reinsurance on premiums and recoveries was as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - --------------------------------------------------------- --------- --------- Direct Premiums ........................................ $ 838.0 $ 780.0 Reinsurance Assumed .................................... 744.1 498.8 Reinsurance Ceded ......................................

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The Company and ReliaStar have entered into agreements whereby ReliaStar and the Company provide certain management, administrative, legal, and other services for each other. The net amounts billed resulted in the Company making payments of $33.3 million and $30.7 million to ReliaStar in 1999 and 96 1998, respectively. The net costs allocated to the Company under these agreements may not be indicative of costs the Company might incur if these services were not provided by ReliaStar. During 1999 and 1998, the Company paid cash dividends of $82.0 million and $88.0 million, respectively, to ReliaStar. NOTE 10. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND OTHER In December 1998, the Company completed the sale of its mortgage banking subsidiary, ReliaStar Mortgage Corporation (RMC), for approximately $19 million in cash. The results of RMC are presented as discontinued operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Revenues, income from operations and loss on disposal related to the former mortgage banking subsidiary were as follows: YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues ................................................... -- $ 18.9 Income from Operations ..................................... -- .1 Loss on Disposal(1) ........................................ -- (7.3) ================================================================================== (1) Includes a $2.8 million pretax loss from operations during the phase-out period and is net of a tax benefit of $4.3 million. During 1998, the Company approved a plan to consolidate its five individual life insurance and annuity service center operations into one new center. This consolidation is expected to be substantially complete by the end of the year 2000 and affects approximately 700 positions at five separate service center operations. Estimated costs of $24.8 million (pre-tax) were recorded primarily for employee-related termination and non-cancelable lease contracts costs associated with vacated facilities. The remaining liability as of December 31, 1999, was $22.4 million and reflects payments of $2.4 million made during 1999. The 1999 transition of annuity operations to the new center was completed as originally scheduled. NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LITIGATION The Company is a defendant in a number of lawsuits arising out of the normal course of its business. Some of the claims seek to be granted class action status and many of the claims seek both compensatory and punitive damages. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of such litigation will not have a material adverse impact to the financial position of the Company. It should be noted, however, that a number of financial services companies have been subjected to significant awards in connection with punitive damages claims and the Company can make no assurances that it will not be subjected to such an award. The Company is a defendant in litigation in New York State court regarding an alleged reinsurance contract. The plaintiff alleges damages in excess of $100 million. The Company believes that no contract exists and the suit is without merit. JOINT GROUP LIFE AND ANNUITY CONTRACTS ReliaStar Life has issued certain participating group annuity and group life insurance contracts jointly with another insurance company. ReliaStar Life has entered into an arrangement with this insurer whereby ReliaStar Life will gradually transfer its liabilities (approximately $144 million at December 31, 1999) to the other insurer over a ten-year period which commenced in 1993. The terms of the arrangement specify the interest rate on the liabilities and provide for a transfer of assets and liabilities scheduled in a manner consistent with the expected cash flows of the assets allocated to support the liabilities. A contingent liability exists with respect to the joint obligor's portion of the contractual liabilities attributable to contributions received prior to July 1, 1993 (approximately $653 million at December 31, 1999) in the event the joint obligor is unable to meet its obligations. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The Company is a party to financial instruments with on and off-balance-sheet risk in the normal course of business to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and equity prices. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit, financial guarantees, futures contracts, interest rate 97 swaps, interest rate caps and equity indexed call options. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit, interest rate, equity price, or liquidity risk in excess of the amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company's exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and financial guarantees written is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance-sheet instruments. For interest rate swap and interest rate cap transactions, the contract or notional amounts do not represent exposure to credit loss. For swaps, caps and equity indexed call options, the Company's exposure to credit loss is limited to those financial instruments where the Company has an unrealized gain. Unless otherwise noted, the Company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) 1999 1998 - ------------------------------------------------------------ ------- -------- CONTRACT OR NOTIONAL AMOUNT Financial Instruments Whose Contract Amounts Represent Credit Risk Commitments to Extend Credit ............................. $ 42.6 $ 101.0 Financial Guarantees ..................................... 28.5 28.8 Financial Instruments Whose Notional or Contract Amounts Exceed the Amount of Credit Risk Interest Rate Swap Agreements ............................ 790.5 897.5 Interest Rate Cap Agreements ............................. 510.0 510.0 Equity Indexed Call Options .............................. 55.6 28.7 - ------------------------------------------------------------ ------- -------- COMMITMENTS TO EXTEND CREDIT -- Commitments to extend credit are legally binding agreements to lend to a customer. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. They generally may be terminated by the Company in the event of deterioration in the financial condition of the borrower. Since some of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future liquidity requirements. The Company evaluates each customer's creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. FINANCIAL GUARANTEES -- Financial guarantees are conditional commitments issued by the Company guaranteeing the performance of the borrower to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private commercial mortgage borrowing arrangements. The credit risk involved is essentially the same as that involved in issuing commercial mortgage loans. ReliaStar Life is a partner in six real estate joint ventures where it has guaranteed the repayment of loans of the partnership. As of December 31, 1999, ReliaStar Life had guaranteed repayment of $28.5 million of such loans including the portion allocable to the PFA. If any payment were made under these guarantees, ReliaStar Life would be allowed to make a claim for repayment from the joint venture, foreclose on the assets of the joint venture, including its real estate investment and, in certain instances, make a claim against the joint venture's general partner. For certain of these partnerships, ReliaStar Life has made capital contributions from time to time to provide the partnerships with sufficient cash to meet its obligations, including operating expenses, tenant improvements and debt service. Capital contributions during 1999 and 1998 were insignificant. Further capital contributions may be required in future periods for certain of the joint ventures. The Company cannot predict the amount of such future contributions. INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS -- The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate exposure. The primary reason for the interest rate swap agreements is to extend the duration of adjustable rate investments. Interest rate swap transactions generally involve the exchange of fixed and floating rate interest payment obligations without the exchange of the underlying principal amounts. Changes in market interest rates impact income from adjustable rate investments and have an opposite (and approximately offsetting) effect on the reported income from the swap portfolio. The risks under interest rate swap agreements are generally similar to those of futures contracts. Notional 98 principal amounts are often used to express the volume of these transactions but do not represent the much smaller amounts potentially subject to credit risk. The amount subject to credit risk is approximately equal to the unrealized gain on the agreements. At December 31, 1999, there was no unrealized gain on the agreements. INTEREST RATE CAP AGREEMENTS -- The Company has entered into interest rate cap agreements as a hedge against the effects of rising interest rates on the invested assets supporting a portfolio of single premium deferred annuity contracts. Notional principal amounts are often used to express the volume of these transactions but do not represent the much smaller amounts potentially subject to credit risk. The amount subject to credit risk is approximately equal to the unrealized gain on the agreements which was approximately $.1 million at December 31, 1999. EQUITY INDEXED CALL OPTIONS -- The Company holds certain call options indexed to the performance of the S&P 500 Index as part of its asset/liability management strategy for its equity indexed annuity products. The Company held 50 call options with a notional amount of $55.6 million and an estimated fair value of $19.6 million as of December 31, 1999. FUTURES CONTRACTS -- Futures contracts are contracts for delayed delivery of securities or money market instruments in which the seller agrees to make delivery at a specified future date of a specified instrument, at a specified price or yield. These contracts are entered into to manage interest rate risk as part of the Company's asset and liability management. Risks arise from the movements in securities values and interest rates. During 1997, the Company closed out of all of its futures contracts and immediately entered into zero coupon interest rate swaps. The Company has not entered into any new future contracts since 1997. As of December 31, 1999, the remaining deferred gain on the closed futures contracts was approximately $17 million, which is being amortized into income over the life of the liabilities whose cash flows they supported. LEASES The Company has operating leases for office space and certain computer processing and other equipment. Rental expense for these items was $18.2 million and $15.3 million for 1999 and 1998, respectively. Future minimum aggregate rental commitments at December 31, 1999 for operating leases were as follows: (IN MILLIONS) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2000 - $ 12.0 2003 - $ 7.5 2001 - $ 11.3 2004 - $ 7.5 2002 - $ 8.8 2005 and thereafter - $ 27.1 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments." SFAS No. 107 requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument. SFAS No. 107 excludes certain financial instruments and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to Management as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Although Management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since those dates; therefore, current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. 99 The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: FIXED MATURITY SECURITIES -- The estimated fair value disclosures for fixed maturity securities satisfy the fair value disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 107 (see Note 2). EQUITY SECURITIES -- Fair value equals carrying value as these securities are carried at quoted market value. MORTGAGE LOANS ON REAL ESTATE -- The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations. CASH, SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS AND POLICY LOANS -- The carrying amounts for these assets approximate the assets' fair values. OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS REPORTED AS ASSETS -- The carrying amounts for these financial instruments (primarily premiums and other accounts receivable and accrued investment income) approximate those assets' fair values. INVESTMENT CONTRACT LIABILITIES -- The fair value for deferred annuities was estimated to be the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, as those investment contracts have no defined maturity and are similar to a deposit liability. The amount payable at the reporting date was calculated as the account balance less applicable surrender charges. The fair value for GICs was estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rate used was based upon current industry offering rates on GICs of similar durations. The fair values for supplementary contracts without life contingencies and immediate annuities were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rate was based upon treasury rates plus a pricing margin. The carrying amounts reported for other investment contracts, which includes participating pension contracts and retirement plan deposits, approximate those liabilities' fair value. CLAIM AND OTHER DEPOSIT FUNDS -- The carrying amounts for claim and other deposit funds approximate the liabilities' fair value. NOTES AND MORTGAGES PAYABLE -- For debt obligations, discounted cash flow analyses were used. The discount rate was based upon the Company's estimated current incremental borrowing rates. OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS REPORTED AS LIABILITIES -- The carrying amounts for other financial instruments (primarily normal payables of a short-term nature) approximate those liabilities' fair values. FINANCIAL GUARANTEES -- The fair values for financial guarantees were estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based upon the expected future net amounts to be expended. The estimated net amounts to be expended were determined based on projected cash flows and a valuation of the underlying collateral. 100 The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments were as follows: 1999 1998 ------------------------------- ------------------------------- Carrying Fair Carrying Fair DECEMBER 31 (IN MILLIONS) Amount Value Amount Value - ------------------------------------------ -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RECORDED AS ASSETS Fixed Maturity Securities ............... $ 11,009.3 $ 11,009.3 $ 11,609.9 $ 11,609.9 Equity Securities ....................... 42.7 42.7 49.1 49.1 Mortgage Loans on Real Estate ...........

These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates. 101 RELIASTAR LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET (IN MILLIONS) (UNAUDITED) JUNE 30, 2000 --------- ASSETS Fixed Maturity Securities, Available for Sale ..................... $11,005.9 Equity Securities ................................................. 41.1 Mortgage Loans on Real Estate ..................................... 2,316.9 Real Estate and Leases ............................................ 16.5 Policy Loans ...................................................... 754.0 Other Invested Assets ............................................. 101.6 Short-Term Investments ............................................ 148.7 --------- Total Investments ................................................ 14,384.7 Cash .............................................................. 34.7 Accounts and Notes Receivable ..................................... 319.7 Reinsurance Receivable ............................................ 651.2 Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs ................................. 1,617.3 Present Value of Future Profits ................................... 411.7 Property and Equipment, Net ....................................... 128.8 Accrued Investment Income ......................................... 195.7 Other Assets ...................................................... 273.5 Participation Fund Account Assets ................................. 310.1 Assets Held in Separate Accounts .................................. 6,588.4 --------- TOTAL ASSETS ..................................................... $24,915.8 ========= LIABILITIES Future Policy and Contract Benefits ............................... $13,556.1 Pending Policy Claims ............................................. 687.6 Other Policyholder Funds .......................................... 441.5 Amounts Due Under Reverse Repurchase Agreements ................... 108.6 Notes and Mortgages Payable -- Unaffiliated ....................... .3 Notes Payable -- Parent ........................................... 100.0 Income Taxes ...................................................... 85.0 Other Liabilities ................................................. 638.3 Participation Fund Account Liabilities ............................ 310.1 Liabilities Related to Separate Accounts .......................... 6,582.9 --------- TOTAL LIABILITIES ................................................ 22,510.4 --------- SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY Common Stock ...................................................... 2.5 Additional Paid-in Capital ........................................ 1,057.4 Retained Earnings ................................................. 1,526.3 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ............................

BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated financial statements of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (the Company) have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and such principles were applied on a basis consistent with that reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. The financial information included herein has been prepared by management without audit by independent certified public accountants. The information furnished includes all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal, recurring accrual adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Consolidated Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998. NOTE 2. SUBSEQUENT EVENT On September 1, 2000, the Company's parent, ReliaStar Financial Corp., was acquired by ING Groep, N.V. (ING). ING is a global financial services company based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, providing banking, insurance and asset management services. The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase business combination, which will require the Company to adjust its historical basis financial statements to estimated fair value. In addition, during the third quarter, the Company has increased its insurance reserves related to its Reinsurance business. The increase in insurance reserves will have a significant impact on the Company's third quarter earnings but will not have a significant impact on the Company's financial position or cash flows. 105 APPENDIX A THE FIXED ACCOUNT The Fixed Account consists of all of our assets other than those in our separate accounts. We have complete ownership and control of all of the assets of the Fixed Account. Because of exemptions and exclusions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fixed Account has not been registered under these acts. Neither the Fixed Account nor any interest in it is subject to the provisions of these acts and as a result the SEC has not reviewed the disclosures in this Prospectus relating to the Fixed Account. However, disclosures relating to the Fixed Account are subject to generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses. We guarantee both principal and interest on amounts credited to the Fixed Account. We credit interest at an effective annual rate of at least 3%, independent of the investment experience of the Fixed Account. From time to time, we may guarantee interest at a rate higher than 3%. ANY INTEREST CREDITED TO AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT IN EXCESS OF 3% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED AT OUR SOLE DISCRETION. YOU ASSUME THE RISK THAT INTEREST CREDITED TO THE FIXED ACCOUNT MAY NOT EXCEED THE MINIMUM GUARANTEE OF 3% FOR A GIVEN YEAR. We do not use a specific formula for determining excess interest credits. However, we consider the following: o General economic trends, o Rates of return currently available on our investments, o Rates of return anticipated in our investments, regulatory and tax factors, and o Competitive factors. We are not aware of any statutory limitations to the maximum amount of interest we may credit and our Board of Directors has not set any limitations. The Fixed Accumulation Value of the Policy is the sum of the Net Premiums credited to the Fixed Account. It is increased by transfers and Loan Amounts from the Variable Account, and interest credits. It is decreased by Monthly Deductions and partial withdrawals taken from the Fixed Account and transfers to the Variable Account. The Fixed Accumulation Value will be calculated at least monthly on the monthly anniversary date. You may transfer all or part of your Fixed Accumulation Value to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, subject to the following transfer limitations: o The request to transfer must be postmarked no more than 30 days before the Policy Anniversary and no later than 30 days after the Policy Anniversary. Only one transfer is allowed during this period. o The Fixed Accumulation Value after the transfer must be at least equal to the Loan Amount. o No more than 50% of the Fixed Accumulation Value (minus any Loan Amount) may be transferred unless the balance, after the transfer, would be less than $1,000. If the balance would be less than $1,000, the full Fixed Accumulation Value (minus any Loan Amount) may be transferred. o You must transfer at least: -- $500, or -- the total Fixed Accumulation Value (minus any Loan Amount) if less than $500. We make the Monthly Deduction from your Fixed Accumulation Value in proportion to the total Accumulation Value of the Policy. The Surrender Charge described in the Prospectus applies to the total Accumulation Value, which includes the Fixed Accumulation Value. If the Owner surrenders the Policy for its Cash Surrender Value, the Fixed Accumulation Value will be reduced by any applicable Surrender Charge, any Loan Amount and unpaid Monthly Deductions applicable to the Fixed Account. A-1 APPENDIX B CALCULATION OF ACCUMULATION VALUE The Accumulation Value of the Policy is equal to the sum of the Variable Accumulation Value plus the Fixed Accumulation Value. VARIABLE ACCUMULATION VALUE The Variable Accumulation Value is the total of your values in each Sub-Account. The value for each Sub-Account is equal to: 1 multiplied by 2, where: 1 Is your current number of Accumulation Units (described below). 2 Is the current Unit Value (described below). The Variable Accumulation Value will vary from Valuation Date to Valuation Date (described below) reflecting changes in 1 and 2 above. ACCUMULATION UNITS. When transactions are made which affect the Variable Accumulation Value, dollar amounts are converted to Accumulation Units. The number of Accumulation Units for a transaction is found by dividing the dollar amount of the transaction by the current Unit Value. The number of Accumulation Units for a Sub-Account increases when: o Net Premiums are credited to that Sub-Account; or o Transfers from the Fixed Account or other Sub-Accounts are credited to that Sub-Account. The number of Accumulation Units for a Sub-Account decreases when: o You take out a Policy loan from that Sub-Account; o You take a partial withdrawal from that Sub-Account; o We take a portion of the Monthly Deduction from that Sub-Account; or o Transfers are made from that Sub-Account to the Fixed Account or other Sub-Accounts. UNIT VALUE. The Unit Value for a Sub-Account on any Valuation Date is equal to the previous Unit Value times the Net Investment Factor for that Sub-Account (described below) for the Valuation Period (described below) ending on that Valuation Date. The Unit Value was initially set at $10 when the Sub-Account first purchased Fund shares. NET INVESTMENT FACTOR. The Net Investment Factor is a number that reflects charges to the Policy and the investment performance during a Valuation Period of the Fund in which a Sub-Account is invested. If the Net Investment Factor is greater than one, the Unit Value is increased. If the Net Investment Factor is less than one, the Unit Value is decreased. The Net Investment Factor for a Sub-Account is determined by dividing 1 by 2. (1 \d 2), where: 1 Is the result of: o The net asset value per share of the Fund shares in which the Sub-Account invests, determined at the end of the current Valuation Period; o Plus the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made on the Fund shares in which the Sub-Account invests during the current Valuation Period; o Plus or minus a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved which we determine has resulted from the investment operations of the Sub-Account and to be applicable to the Policy. B-1 2 Is the result of: o The net asset value per share of the Fund shares held in the Sub-Account, determined at the end of the last prior Valuation Period; o Plus or minus a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for during the last prior Valuation Period which we determine resulted from the investment operations of the Sub-Account and was applicable to the Policy. VALUATION DATE; VALUATION PERIOD. A Valuation Date is each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. A Valuation Period is the period between two successive Valuation Dates, commencing at the close of business of a Valuation Date and ending at the close of business on the next Valuation Date. FIXED ACCUMULATION VALUE The Fixed Accumulation Value on the Policy Date is your Net Premium credited to the Fixed Account on that date minus the Monthly Deduction applicable to the Fixed Accumulation Value for the first Policy Month. After the Policy Date, the Fixed Accumulation Value is calculated as: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 - 5 - 6, where: 1 Is the Fixed Accumulation Value on the preceding Monthly Anniversary, plus interest from the Monthly Anniversary to the date of the calculation. 2 Is the total of your Net Premiums credited to the Fixed Account since the preceding Monthly Anniversary, plus interest from the date premiums are credited to the date of the calculation. 3 Is the total of your transfers from the Variable Account to the Fixed Account since the preceding Monthly Anniversary, plus interest from the date of transfer to the date of the calculation. 4 Is the total of your Loan Amounts transferred from the Variable Account since the preceding Monthly Anniversary. 5 Is the total of your transfers to the Variable Account from the Fixed Account since the preceding Monthly Anniversary, plus interest from the date of transfer to the date of the calculation. 6 Is the total of your partial withdrawals from the Fixed Account since the preceding Monthly Anniversary, plus interest from the date of withdrawal to the date of the calculation. If the date of the calculation is a Monthly Anniversary, we also reduce the Fixed Accumulation Value by the applicable Monthly Deduction for the Policy Month following the Monthly Anniversary. The minimum interest rate applied in the calculation of the Fixed Accumulation Value is an effective annual rate of 3%. Interest in excess of the minimum rate may be applied in the calculation of your Fixed Accumulation Value in a manner which our Board of Directors determines. B-2 APPENDIX C MONTHLY AMOUNT CHARGE PER $1,000 OF FACE AMOUNT The following table provides the factors that are used in determining the Monthly Amount Charge which is deducted each Policy Month during the first 20 Policy Years (and for 20 Policy Years after any requested increase in Face Amount relative to the increased amount). For a Policy issued in New Jersey, the reduction of these charges after the first 20 Policy Years is not guaranteed and may be assessed for the duration of the Policy. The Monthly Amount Charge per $1,000 is based on the average age of the Joint Insureds on the Policy Date (or on the effective date of any requested increase in Face Amount, as appropriate).

RULE 484 UNDERTAKING Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "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 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 Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. "REASONABLENESS" REPRESENTATION PURSUANT TO 26(e)(2)(A) OF THE INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT OF 1940 Depositor represents that the fees and charges deducted under the flexible premium variable life insurance policy, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by ReliaStar Life Insurance Company.
