**To The Prospectus Dated April 28, 2025**

**JNL Series Trust** 

**(The "Trust")**

Please note that the changes may apply to your variable annuity and/or variable life product(s).

**<u>Proposed Reorganization of JNL/AB Sustainable Global Thematic Fund</u>**

On December 10-11, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust approved the proposed reorganization of the JNL/AB Sustainable Global Thematic Fund (the "AB Fund") into the JNL/Loomis Sayles Global Growth Fund (the "Loomis Fund"), each a series of the Trust (the "Reorganization").

The Reorganization is subject to approval by the shareholders of the AB Fund at a shareholders' meeting expected to be held on March 25, 2026. If approved, it is expected that the Reorganization will take place on or about the close of business on April 24, 2026 (the "Closing Date"). No assurance can be given that the Reorganization will be approved by shareholders.

Under the terms of the proposed Plan of Reorganization, the AB Fund's assets and liabilities will be transferred to the Loomis Fund in return for shares of the Loomis Fund having an aggregate net asset value equal to the AB Fund's net assets as of the Closing Date. These Loomis Fund shares will be distributed pro rata to shareholders of the AB Fund in exchange for their fund shares. Current AB Fund shareholders will thus become shareholders of the Loomis Fund and receive shares of the Loomis Fund with a total net asset value equal to that of their shares of the AB Fund at the time of Reorganization. Shareholders will not pay any sales charges in connection with the Reorganization.

The Reorganization is not expected to be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes for shareholders and is not expected to result in any material adverse federal income tax consequences to shareholders of the AB Fund.

The AB Fund and the Loomis Fund have the same investment objectives, similar fundamental policies, and similar principal investment strategies and risk profiles, though there are some notable differences. A full description of the Loomis Fund and the terms of the proposed Reorganization will be contained in a proxy statement/prospectus, which is expected to be mailed to shareholders of the AB Fund on or about February 19, 2026.

The foregoing is not an offer to sell, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, shares of the Loomis Fund, nor is it a solicitation of any proxy. For more information regarding the Loomis Fund or to receive a free copy of a proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Reorganization (once a registration statement relating to the Reorganization has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and has become effective) that contains important information about fees, expenses and risk considerations, please contact us at prospectusrequest@jackson.com. The proxy statement/prospectus will also be available for free on the SEC's web site (www.sec.gov). Please read the proxy statement/prospectus carefully before making any investment decisions.

On December 10-11, 2025, the Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust approved the proposed reorganization of the JNL/American Funds Capital World Bond Fund (the "AF Fund") into the JNL/Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund (the "NB Fund"), each a series of the Trust (the "Reorganization").
