You should read this Updating Summary Prospectus carefully, particularly the section titled "[Important Information You Should Consider About the Annuity](#chapter_4-sect1_1_940)".

An updated statutory prospectus for the Advanced Series Advisor Plan III ("ASAP III"), Advanced Series APEX II ("APEX II"), Advanced Series Xtra Credit Six ("ASXT6" or "XT6") and Advanced Series LifeVest II ("ASL II") Variable Annuity Contracts are currently available online, which contains more information about the Annuity, including its features, benefits, investment options, and risks. You can find the prospectus and other information about the contract online at <u>www.prudential.com/regdocs/FLIAC-CORE-STAT</u>. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-800-879-7012 or by sending an email request to service@prudential.com.<br>The statutory prospectus describes all the investment options, features, and benefits that we make available under the Annuity. **The availability of investment options, features and benefits described in the statutory prospectus may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold ("financial intermediary variations")**. We have identified all such financial intermediary variations that are known or reasonably available to us. Financial intermediary variations may be imposed by some broker-dealers without our knowledge. For example, your Financial Professional may not recommend a particular investment option or benefit to you because of a decision by the Financial Professional's broker-dealer not to offer that investment option or benefit to its customers. Taking into consideration the breadth of our distribution network, we are unable to obtain information about all financial intermediary variations without unreasonable effort or expense. **You should discuss with your Financial Professional any limitations, restrictions, or other variations related to the investment options, benefits or other features available to you through your Financial Professional.**<br>This Updating Summary Prospectus incorporates by reference the "ASAP III", "APEX II", "ASXT6" and "ASL II" prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (SAI), both dated May 1, 2026, as amended or supplemented. The SAI may be obtained, free of charge, in the same manner as the prospectus.<br>Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available at www.Investor.gov.

**The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this Updating Summary Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.**

**GLOSSARY OF TERMS**

------

Many terms used within this summary prospectus are described within the text where they appear. Not all the descriptions of those terms are repeated in this Glossary of Terms.

A**ccount Value:** The value of each allocation to a Sub-account (also referred to as a "variable investment option") plus any Fixed Allocation prior to the Annuity Date, increased by any earnings, and/or less any losses, distributions and charges. The Account Value is calculated before we assess any applicable Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC" or "surrender charge") and/or, unless the Account Value is being calculated on an annuity anniversary, any fee that is deducted from the Annuity annually in arrears. The Account Value is determined separately for each Subaccount and for each Fixed Allocation, and then totaled to determine the Account Value for your entire Annuity. The Account Value of each Market Value Adjustment Fixed Allocation on any day other than its Maturity Date may be calculated using a Market Value Adjustment. With respect to XT6, the Account Value includes any Credits we applied to your Purchase Payments that we are entitled to recapture under certain circumstances. With respect to ASAP III and APEX II, the Account Value includes any Loyalty Credit we apply. With respect to Annuities with a Highest Daily Lifetime Five Income Benefit election, Account Value includes the value of any allocation to the Benefit Fixed Rate Account.

**Accumulation Period:** The period of time from the Issue Date through the last Valuation Day immediately preceding the Annuity Date.

**Annuity Date:** The date you choose for annuity payments to commence. Unless we agree otherwise, for Annuities issued on or after November 20, 2006, the Annuity Date must be no later than the first day of the calendar month coinciding with or next following the later of: (a) the oldest Owner's or Annuitant's 95th birthday and (b) the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date, whichever occurs first. With respect to Annuities issued prior to November 20, 2006, please see the section of the statutory prospectus entitled "Annuity Period".

**Annuity Year:** A 12-month period commencing on the Issue Date of the Annuity and each successive 12-month period thereafter.

**Benefit Fixed Rate Account:** A fixed investment option that is used only if you have elected the optional Highest Daily Lifetime Five Income Benefit. Amounts allocated to the Benefit Fixed Rate Account earn a fixed rate of interest, and are held within our general account. You may not allocate Purchase Payments to the Benefit Fixed Rate Account. Rather, Account Value is transferred to and from the Benefit Fixed Rate Account only under the pre-determined mathematical formula of the Highest Daily Lifetime Five Income Benefit.

**Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC):** This is a sales charge that may be deducted when you make a full or partial withdrawal under your Annuity. We refer to this as a "contingent" charge because it can be imposed only if you make a withdrawal. The charge is a percentage of each applicable Purchase Payment that is being withdrawn. The period during which a particular percentage applies is measured from the Issue Date of the Annuity. The amount and duration of the CDSC varies among ASAP III, APEX II and XT6. There is no CDSC for ASL II. See the "Fee Table" section of the statutory prospectus for details on the CDSC for each Annuity. The CDSC is also referred to as a surrender charge in this prospectus.

**Credit:** An amount we allocate to your Annuity's Account Value each time you make a Purchase Payment. The amount of the Credit is payable from our general account. The amount of the Credit depends on the cumulative amount of Purchase Payments you have made to your Annuity, payable as a percentage of each specific Purchase Payment.

**Fixed Allocation:** An investment option that offers a fixed rate of interest for a specified Guarantee Period during the Accumulation Period. Certain Fixed Allocations are subject to a Market Value Adjustment if you withdraw Account Value prior to the Fixed Allocation's maturity (Market Value Adjustment Fixed Allocation). We also offer DCA Fixed Rate Options that are used with our 6 or 12 Month Dollar Cost Averaging Program ("6 or 12 Month DCA Program"), and are not subject to any Market Value Adjustment. You may participate in a dollar cost averaging program outside of the 6 or 12 Month DCA Program, where the source of the funds to be transferred is a Fixed Allocation. We no longer offer our 6 or 12 Month DCA Program.

**Guarantee Period:** A period of time during the Accumulation Period where we credit a fixed rate of interest on a Fixed Allocation.

**Issue Date:** The effective date of your Annuity.

**Market Value Adjustment:** A Market Value Adjustment used in the determination of Account Value of a Market Value Adjustment Fixed Allocation on any day prior to the Maturity Date of such Market Value Adjustment Fixed Allocation.

**MVA Fixed Allocation:** An investment option that offers a fixed rate of interest for a specified Guarantee Period during the accumulation period that is subject to a market value adjustment if you withdraw Account Value prior to the maturity of the Fixed Allocation. Your Annuity may include Fixed Allocations that are not subject to a market value adjustment, such as a benefit fixed rate account.

**Maturity Date:** The last day of the Guarantee Period.

**Owner:** With an Annuity issued as an individual annuity contract, the Owner is either an eligible entity or individual named as having ownership rights in relation to the Annuity. With an Annuity issued as a certificate under a group annuity contract, the "Owner" refers to the person or entity who has the rights and benefits designated as to the "Participant" in the certificate.

**Payout Period:** The period starting on the Annuity Date and during which annuity payments are made.

**Portfolio:** Any underlying mutual fund which may be selected as an investment option by the Owner. The terms "Fund" and "Portfolio" are used interchangeably. Some of the Portfolios use the term "Fund" and others use the term "Portfolio" in their respective prospectuses.

[Back to **Table of Contents**](#TOC_940)

**Purchase Payment:** A cash consideration in currency of the United States of America given to us in exchange for the rights, privileges, and benefits of the Annuity.

**Registered Separate Account:** Fortitude Life Insurance & Annuity Co Variable Account B, which holds the assets supporting the Variable Options. Assets held in the Registered Separate Account are kept separate from all of our other assets and may not be charged with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. The Registered Separate Account may be referred to as the "Separate Account" in this prospectus and the Contract.

**Variable Option:** A division of the Registered Separate Account. The Variable Option also may be referred to in this prospectus and the Annuity as a Variable Sub-account or Sub-account.

**Valuation Day:** Every day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading or any other day the Securities and Exchange Commission requires mutual funds or unit investment trusts to be valued, not including any day: (1) trading on the NYSE is restricted; (2) an emergency, as determined by the SEC, exists making redemption or valuation of securities held in the Separate Account impractical; or (3) the SEC, by order, permits the suspension or postponement for the protection of security holders.

**"We," "our," "us", "FLIAC", or "the Company":** Fortitude Life Insurance & Annuity Company.

**"You" or "your":** the Owner(s) shown in the Annuity.

This loss will be greater if you also have to pay taxes and tax penalties.

1. **These Portfolios are also offered in other variable annuity contracts that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula to manage the guarantees offered in connection with optional benefits.** 

Those other variable annuity contracts offer certain optional living benefits that utilize a predetermined mathematical formula (the "formula") to manage the guarantees offered in connection with those optional benefits. The formula monitors each contract Owner's Account Value daily and, if necessary, will systematically transfer amounts among investment options. The formula transfers funds between the Variable Options for those variable annuity contracts and an AST Bond Portfolio Variable Option or a fixed account (those AST Bond Portfolios or a fixed account may not be available in connection with the annuity contracts offered through this prospectus). **You should be aware that the operation of the formula in those other variable annuity contracts may result in large-scale asset flows into and out of the underlying Portfolios that are available with your contract. These asset flows could adversely impact the underlying Portfolios, including their risk profile, expenses and performance**. Because transfers between the Variable Options and the AST Bond Variable Option or a fixed account can be frequent and the amount transferred can vary from day to day, any of the underlying Portfolios could experience the following effects, among others:

(1) a Portfolio's investment performance could be adversely affected by requiring a subadvisor to purchase and sell securities at inopportune times or by otherwise limiting the subadvisor's ability to fully implement the Portfolio's investment strategy;

(2) the subadvisor may be required to hold a larger portion of assets in highly liquid securities than it otherwise would hold, which could adversely affect performance if the highly liquid securities underperform other securities (e.g., equities) that otherwise would have been held; and

(3) a Portfolio may experience higher turnover and greater negative asset flows than it would have experienced without the formula, which could result in higher operating expense ratios and higher transaction costs for the Portfolio compared to other similar funds.

The efficient operation of the asset flows among Portfolios triggered by the formula depends on active and liquid markets. If market liquidity is strained, the asset flows may not operate as intended. For example, it is possible that illiquid markets or other market stress could cause delays in the transfer of cash from one Portfolio to another Portfolio, which in turn could adversely impact performance.

Before you allocate to the Variable Option with the AST Portfolios listed above, you should consider the potential effects on the Portfolios that are the result of the operation of the formula in the variable annuity contracts that are unrelated to your Variable Annuity. Please work with your financial professional to determine which Portfolios are appropriate for your needs.

2. Please note that you may not allocate Purchase Payments to the target date Bond Portfolios (e.g., AST Bond Portfolio 2036).

3. The AST Investment Grade Bond Variable Option is not available for allocation of Purchase Payments or contract Owner transfers.

**Stipulated Investment Options if you Elect Certain Optional Benefits**

------

Depending on the optional benefits you choose, you may not be able to invest in certain Portfolio Companies. Broadly speaking, we offer two groups of "Permitted Variable Options". Under the first group (Group I), your allowable investment options are more limited, but you are not subject to mandatory quarterly re-balancing. Under the second group (Group II), you may allocate your Account Value between a broader range of investment options, but must participate in quarterly re-balancing. The set of tables immediately below describes the first category of permitted Investment Options.

While those who do not participate in any optional benefit generally may invest in any of the investment options described in the prospectus, only those who participate in the optional benefits listed in Group II below may participate in the second category (along with its attendant re-balancing requirement). This second category is called our "Custom Portfolios Program" (we may have referred to the "Custom Portfolios Program" as the "Optional Allocation and Rebalancing Program" in other materials). If you participate in the Custom Portfolios Program, you may not participate in an Automatic Rebalancing Program. We may modify or terminate the Custom Portfolios Program at any time. **Any such modification or termination will (i) be implemented only after we have notified you in advance, (ii) not affect the guarantees you had accrued under the optional benefit or your ability to continue to participate in those optional benefits, and (iii) not require you to transfer Account Value out of any Portfolio in which you participated immediately prior to the modification or termination.**

The following set of tables describes the second category (i.e., Group II below), under which:

(1) you must allocate at least 20% of your Account Value to certain fixed income Portfolios (currently, the AST Core Fixed Income Portfolio).

(2) you may allocate up to 80% in equity and other Portfolios listed in the table below.

**(3)** on each benefit quarter (or the next Valuation Day, if the quarter-end is not a Valuation Day), we will automatically re-balance your Account Value, so that the percentages devoted to each Portfolio remain the same as those in effect on the immediately preceding quarter-end, subject to the predetermined mathematical formula inherent in any applicable optional benefit. **Note that on the first quarter-end following your participation in the Custom Portfolios Programs (we may have referred to the "Custom Portfolios Program" as the "Optional Allocation and Rebalancing Program" in other materials), we will re-balance your Account Value so that the percentages devoted to each Portfolio remain the same as those in effect when you began the Custom Portfolios Program.** 

(4) between quarter-ends, you may re-allocate your Account Value among the investment options permitted within this category. If you reallocate, the next quarterly rebalancing will restore the percentages to those of your most recent reallocation.

(5) if you are already participating in the Custom Portfolios Program (we may have referred to the "Custom Portfolios Program" as the "Optional Allocation and Rebalancing Program" in other materials) and add a new benefit that also participates in this program, your rebalancing date will continue to be based upon the quarterly anniversary of your initial benefit election.
