Your prospectus is amended as follows: Page 20: Replace the 3rd to last sentence in the fourth paragraph under the subheading "TRUERETURNSM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT OPTION" under the heading "Contract Value" with the following: The Guarantee Option you select has specific investment requirements, which are described in the "Investment Restrictions" section below and may depend upon the Rider Date of your TrueReturn Option.

Guarantee Option 1 and Guarantee Option 2 have different investment restrictions. See "Investment Requirements" below for more information. Page 21: Replace the 2nd sentence of the first paragraph under the subheading "Investment Requirements" under the heading "Contract Value" with the following: The specific requirements will depend on the Guarantee Option you select and the effective date of your TrueReturn Option. These requirements are described below in more detail. Page 21: Replace the third paragraph under the subheading "Investment Requirements" under the heading "Contract Value" with the following: On the Rider Date, you must select only one of the Model Portfolio Options in which to allocate your Contract Value.
