The Existing and the Acquiring Portfolios are closed to new investors. **If you decide to transfer out of an Acquiring Portfolio, you will not be able to re-invest in it at a later date.**

We have been informed that as of the Merger Date, the underlying funds referenced above in the Existing Portfolios will merge into the corresponding LVIP JPMorgan portfolios. If you would like to transfer out of an Existing or Acquiring Portfolio prior to or after the merger date, you may transfer your policy value to any of the portfolio company option listed in your Prospectus.

As of the start of business on the Merger Date, any automated transfer features such as asset rebalancing or dollar cost averaging with the Existing Portfolio will be directed to the Acquiring Portfolio.

You will not be charged for the transfer made due to the merger. In addition, if you reallocate your policy value to another portfolio company prior to the merger or within 30 days after the Merger Date, you will not be charged for the transfer and this reallocation also will not count against the number of free transfers that you receive each policy year.

This Supplement updates certain information in the above referenced prospectus (the ''Prospectus''). Except as indicated in this Supplement, all other information included in the Prospectus remains unchanged. We will send you another copy of the current Prospectus or any supplement without charge upon request. Please contact our Administrative Office referenced in the Prospectus.

This Supplement must be accompanied or preceded by the current Prospectus.

Please read this Supplement carefully and retain it for future reference.
