The following lists important information regarding the fund substitutions:

---

| |
|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Voluntary Transfers before the Substitution Date**. Prior to the Substitution Date and for thirty days thereafter you may transfer amounts allocated to the subaccount that invests in an Existing Fund to any other available subaccount or to any available fixed interest option free of charge, and any such transfer will not count as a transfer when imposing any applicable restrictions or limits on transfers (other than restrictions related to frequent or disruptive transfers);  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **On the Substitution Date**. On the Substitution Date, your investment in the subaccount that invests in an Existing Fund will automatically become an investment in the subaccount that invests in the corresponding Replacement Fund with an equal total net asset value;  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **No Fees, Charges, or Taxes**. You will not incur any fees or charges or any tax liability because of the substitutions, and your Contract Value immediately before the substitutions will equal your Contract Value immediately after the substitutions;  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Fund Fees and Expenses.** The overall fees and expenses of each Replacement Fund are equal to or less than those of the corresponding Exiting Fund. Each Replacement Fund's fees and expenses, investment objective and information about its investment adviser/subadviser are more fully described in the Replacement Fund's summary prospectus;  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Replacement Funds' Summary Prospectuses**. The Prospectuses for each Replacement Fund are available online at https://docs.venerable.com by selecting your Contract and then the applicable Replacement Fund from the drop-down menus. Read the Replacement Funds' prospectuses carefully before deciding what to do with amounts allocated to subaccounts that invest in the Existing Funds that correspond to the Replacement Funds. If you have not received or have access to a Replacement Fund's summary prospectus or need to request another, please contact Customer Service at 1-800-366-0066 or send an email request to smb-usa-mailbox@venerable.com;  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Allocations after the Substitution Date.** Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, after the Substitution Date all allocations directed to the subaccount that invests in an Existing Fund will be automatically allocated to the subaccount that invests in the corresponding Replacement Fund. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by contacting Customer Service at P.O. Box 9271, Des Moines, Iowa 50306-9271 or calling (800) 366-0066; and  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp; **Existing Funds no longer Available**. After the Substitution Date, the Existing Funds will no longer be available through the Contract and there will be no further disclosure regarding them in any future Contract Prospectus or Notice.  |

**NOTICE OF THE UPCOMING FUND ADDITIONS**

In connection with these upcoming fund substitutions, subaccounts that invest in the Replacement Funds will be added to your Contract and available for new premiums and transfers of Contract Value beginning on the dates indicated below. Other new Funds will also be added for investment beginning on dates indicated below. Consequently, the following information about the Replacement Funds and the other new Funds is hereby added to the Appendix A of your Contract Prospectus and was included in your most recent Notice. **The Replacement Funds and other new Funds are new and consequently do not yet have actual performance information.**
