Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> Issued by Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company and Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America

**Prospectus dated May 1, 2026** 

*Please read and keep this Prospectus for future reference. It contains important information that you should know before purchasing or taking any other action under your policy. Also, this Prospectus must be read along with the variable life insurance policy prospectus. This Prospectus is in addition to the variable life insurance policy prospectus and all information in the variable life insurance policy prospectus continues to apply unless addressed by this Prospectus.* 

Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company and Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America issue the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> described in this Prospectus. The Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> is available with the Equitable Advantage<sup>sm</sup> policy that we offer and may not be available through your financial professional.

**What is the Market Stabilizer Option**<sup>®</sup>**?** 

The Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> ("MSO") is an investment option available under the policy. The option provides for participation in the performance of the S&P 500 Price Return index, which excludes dividends (the "Index") up to the Growth Cap Rate that we set on the Segment Start Date. While the Growth Cap Rate is set at the Company's sole discretion, the Growth Cap Rate will not change during a Segment Term and the Growth Cap Rate will always be at least 6%. On the Segment Maturity Date, we will apply the Index-Linked Rate of Return to the Segment Account Value based on the performance of the Index. If the performance of the Index has been positive for the Segment Term and equal to or below the Growth Cap Rate, we will apply to the Segment Account Value an Index-Linked Rate of Return equal to the full Index performance. If the performance of the Index has been positive for the Segment Term and above the Growth Cap Rate, we will apply an Index-Linked Rate of Return equal to the Growth Cap Rate. If the Index has negative performance, the Index-Linked Rate of Return will be 0% unless the Index performance goes below -10% for the Segment Term. In that case only the negative performance in excess of -10% will be applied to the Segment Account Value and you bear the entire risk of loss of principal and previously credited interest for the portion of negative performance that exceeds -10%. Please see "Index-Linked Return" in "Description of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>" in this Prospectus.

***Please note that you will not be credited with any positive Index performance with respect to amounts that are removed from a Segment prior to the Segment Maturity Date. Even when the Index performance has been positive, such Early Distributions will cause you to lose some principal and previously credited interest. Please see "Early Distribution Adjustment" in this Prospectus.***

Although under the variable life insurance policy, we reserve the right to apply a transfer charge up to $25 for each transfer among your investment options, there are no transfer charges for transfers into or out of the MSO Holding Account. Please note that once policy account value has been swept from the MSO Holding Account into a Segment, transfers into or out of that Segment before its Segment

Maturity Date will not be permitted. In addition, you cannot take a partial withdrawal from amounts transferred into a Segment before a Segment Maturity Date.

Among the many terms associated with the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> are:

• Index-Linked Return for approximately a one year period tied to the performance of the S&P 500 Price Return index, which excludes dividends as described below.

• Index-Linked Return will be applied at the end of the period (your Segment Term) on the Segment Maturity Date and only to amounts remaining within the segment until the Segment Maturity Date. The Index-Linked Return
will not be applied before the Segment Maturity Date.

• The Index-Linked Return could be positive, zero or in certain circumstances negative as described below. In the event that the S&P 500 Price Return index sustains a 100% loss, the maximum loss of principal and
previously credited interest would be 90%. **Therefore, there is the possibility of a negative return on this investment at the end of your Segment Term, which could result in a significant loss of principal and previously credited interest.** 

• An Early Distribution Adjustment on Early Distributions (including a requested loan payment, surrender, exercise of certain riders) will be made from the Segment Account Value before the Segment Maturity Date.

• **Any Early Distribution Adjustment that is made will cause you to lose principal and previously credited interest through the application of a Put Option Factor, as explained in this Prospectus, and that loss could potentially be substantial.** Therefore you should carefully consider whether to make such distributions and/or maintain enough value in your Unloaned Guaranteed Interest Option ("Unloaned GIO") and/or variable investment options to
cover your monthly deductions. The Unloaned GIO is the portion of

**The SEC has not approved or disapproved these securities or determined if this Prospectus is accurate or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The policies are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency. They are not deposits or other obligations of any bank and are not bank guaranteed. They are subject to investment risks and possible loss of principal and previously credited interest.**

the Guaranteed Interest Option ("GIO") that is not being held to secure policy loans you have taken. As described in this Prospectus, we will attempt to maintain a reserve (Charge Reserve Amount) to cover your monthly deductions, but it is possible that the Charge Reserve Amount will be insufficient to cover your monthly deductions. <br>

• The Company's obligations under the MSO are subject to its creditworthiness and claims paying ability.

• Index-linked investment options such as the MSO are complex insurance and investment options, and you should speak with a financial professional about the MSO's features, benefits, risks, and fees, and whether the
MSO is appropriate for you based upon your financial situation and objectives.

*These are only some of the terms associated with the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>. Please read this Prospectus for more details about the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>. Also, this Prospectus must be read along with the variable life insurance policy prospectus as well as the variable life insurance policy and policy rider for this option. Please refer to page 5 of this Prospectus for a Definitions section that discusses these and other terms associated with the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>.* ***Please refer to page 9 of this Prospectus for a discussion of risk factors.*** 

***Other policies.*** We offer a variety of fixed and variable life insurance policies which offer policy features, including investment options, that are different from those offered by this Prospectus. Not every policy or feature is offered through your financial professional. You can contact us to find out more about any other insurance policy.

The Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> is not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") or its third party licensors. Neither S&P nor its third party licensors makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in securities generally or in the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> particularly or the ability of the S&P 500 Price Return index (the "Index") to track general stock market performance. S&P's and its third party licensor's only relationship to the Company is the licensing of certain trademarks and trade names of S&P and the third party licensors and of the Index which is determined, composed and calculated by S&P or its third party licensors without regard to the Company or the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>. S&P and its third party licensors have no obligation to take the needs of the Company or the owners of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> into consideration in determining, composing or calculating the Index. Neither S&P nor its third party licensors is responsible for and has not participated in the determination of the prices and amount of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> or the timing of the issuance or sale of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> or in the determination or calculation of the equation by which the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> is to be converted into cash. S&P has no obligation or liability in connection with the administration, marketing or trading of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>.

The Company

Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America is an Arizona stock life insurance corporation organized in 1969 with an administrative office located at 8501 IBM Drive, Suite 150 - Life Operations Center, Charlotte, NC 28262-4333. Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company is a New York stock life insurance corporation doing business since 1859 with its home office located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10105. We are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Equitable Holdings, Inc.

We are licensed to sell life insurance and annuities in all fifty states (except Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America is not licensed in the state of New York), the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. No other company has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that the Company owes under the policies. The Company is solely responsible for paying all amounts owed to you under the policy, subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.

We rely on the exemption from the reporting requirements of Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), provided by Rule 12h-7 under the 1934 Act with respect to registered non-variable insurance contracts (such as index-linked investment options and fixed investment options subject to a market value adjustment) that we issue.

**How to reach us** 

Please refer to the "How to reach us" section of the variable life insurance policy prospectus for more information regarding contacting us and communicating your instructions. We also have specific forms that we recommend you use for electing the MSO and any MSO transactions.

***4***

------

**1.** Definitions

***Cash Surrender Value*** **—** the cash surrender value is equal to the difference between your policy account value and any surrender charges that are in effect under your policy. The Segment Distribution Value is used to determine the policy account value for this purpose.

***Company*** **—** Refers to Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company of America ("Equitable America") or Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company ("Equitable Financial"). The terms "we", "us", and "our" are also used to identify the issuing Company. Equitable America does not do business or issue policies in the state of New York. Generally, Equitable America will issue policies in all states except New York and Equitable Financial will issue policies in New York. However, if any selling agent is an Equitable Advisors financial professional whose business address is in the state of New York, the issuing Company will be Equitable Financial, even if the policy is issued in a state other than New York.

***Charge Reserve Amount*** **—** A minimum amount of policy account value in the Unloaned GIO (the portion of the Guaranteed Interest Option ("GIO") that is not being held to secure policy loans you have taken.) that you are required to maintain in order to approximately cover all of the estimated monthly charges for the policy (including, but not limited to, the policy's monthly cost of insurance charge, the policy's monthly administrative charge, the policy's monthly mortality and expense risk charge, the MSO's monthly Variable Index Segment Account Charge (the monthly charge deducted from the policy account) and any monthly optional rider charges, (please see "Charges" in this Prospectus for more information) during the Segment Term. The Charge Reserve Amount will be determined on each Segment Start Date as an amount projected to be sufficient to cover all of the policy's monthly deductions during the Segment Term, assuming at the time such calculation is made that no interest or investment performance is credited to or charged against the policy account and that no policy changes or additional premium payments are made. The Charge Reserve Amount will be reduced by each subsequent monthly deduction (but not to less than zero). **There is no requirement to maintain a Charge Reserve Amount, which would cover approximately all estimated monthly policy charges, if you are not in a Segment.** Please see "Segments" in this Prospectus for more information about the investment options from which account value could be transferred to the Unloaned GIO on a Segment Start Date in order to meet this requirement.

***Downside Protection (also referred to in your policy as the "Segment Loss Absorption Threshold Rate")*** **—** This is your protection against negative performance of the S&P 500 Price Return index for a Segment held until its Segment Maturity Date. It is currently -10%. **The Downside Protection is set on the Segment Start Date and any**

 **Downside Protection in excess of -10% will be set at the Company's sole discretion.** However, the Downside Protection will not change during a Segment Term and at least -10% of Downside Protection will always be provided when a Segment is held until the Segment Maturity Date.

***Early Distribution*** — a requested loan payment, surrender, deduction for monthly charges (if amounts are not available from the variable investment options or unloaned GIO) or other distribution from a Segment made prior to the Segment Maturity Date. Such other distributions would include any distributions from the policy that we deem necessary to continue to qualify the policy as life insurance under applicable tax law, any unpaid loan interest, or any distribution in connection with the exercise of a rider available under your policy. Payment of death benefit proceeds is not an Early Distribution.

***Early Distribution Adjustment ("EDA," may also be referred*** ***to in your policy as the "Market Value Adjustment")*** **— An adjustment that we make to your Segment Account Value, in the event of an Early Distribution. An EDA that is made will cause you to lose principal and previously credited interest through the application of a Put Option Factor, which estimates the market value, at the time of an Early Distribution, of the risk that you would suffer a loss if your Segment were continued (without taking the Early Distribution) until its Segment Maturity Date and that loss could be substantial.** The EDA will usually result in a reduction in your Segment Account Value and your other policy values. Therefore, you should give careful consideration before taking any early loan or surrender, or allowing the value in your other investment options to fall so low that we must make any monthly deduction from a Segment. Please see "Early Distribution Adjustment" in this Prospectus for more information.

***Growth Cap Rate*** **—** The maximum rate of return that will be applied to a Segment Account Value. **The Growth Cap Rate is set for each Segment on the Segment Start Date. While the Growth Cap Rate is set at the Company's sole discretion,** the Growth Cap Rate will not change during a Segment Term and the Growth Cap Rate will always be at least 6%.

***Index*** **—** The S&P 500 Price Return index, which is the S&P 500 index excluding dividends. This index includes 500 leading companies in leading industries in the U.S. economy.

***Index Performance Rate*** **—** The Index Performance Rate measures the percentage change in the Index during a Segment Term for each Segment. If the Index is discontinued or if the calculation of the Index is substantially changed, we reserve the right to substitute an alternative index. We also reserve the right to choose an alternative index at our discretion. Please see "Change in Index" for more information.

***5***

------

The Index Performance Rate is calculated by ((b) divided by (a)) minus one, where:

(a) is the value of the Index at the close of business on the Segment Start Date, and

(b) is the value of the Index at the close of business on the Segment Maturity Date.

We determine the value of the Index at the close of business, which is the end of a business day. Generally, a business day is any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. If the New York Stock Exchange is not open for trading or if the Index value is, for any other reason, not published on the Segment Start Date or a Segment Maturity Date, the value of the Index will be determined as of the end of the most recent preceding business day for which the Index value is published.

***Index-Linked Rate of Return*** **—** The rate of return we apply to calculate the Index-Linked Return which is based on the Index Performance Rate adjusted to reflect the Growth Cap Rate and protection against negative performance. Therefore, if the performance of the Index is zero or positive, we will apply that performance up to the Growth Cap Rate. If the performance of the Index is negative, we will apply performance of zero unless the decline in the performance of the Index is below -10% in which case negative performance in excess of -10% will apply. Please see the chart under "Index-Linked Return" for more information.

***Index-Linked Return —*** The amount that is applied to the Segment Account Value on the Segment Maturity Date that is equal to that Segment's Index-Linked Rate of Return multiplied by the Segment Account Value on the Segment Maturity Date. The Index-Linked Return may be positive, negative or zero. The Indexed-Linked Return is only applied to amounts that remain in a Segment Account Value until the Segment Maturity Date. For example, a surrender of your policy before Segment maturity will eliminate any Index-Linked Return and be subject to an Early Distribution Adjustment.

***Initial Segment Account —*** The amount initially transferred to a Segment from the MSO Holding Account on its Segment Start Date, net of the amount that may have been transferred from the MSO Holding Account to the Unloaned GIO to cover the Charge Reserve Amount (see "Charge Reserve Amount" in this Prospectus). Such a transfer would be made from the MSO Holding Account to cover the Charge Reserve Amount only (1) if you have given us instructions to make such a transfer or (2) in the other limited circumstances described under "Segments" in this Prospectus.

***MSO Holding Account —*** This is a portion of the EQ/Money Market variable investment option that holds amounts designated by the policy owner for investment in the MSO prior to any transfer into the next available new Segment.

***Net Cash Surrender Value*** — The net cash surrender value equals your policy account value, minus any outstanding loan and unpaid loan interest, minus any amount of your policy account value that is "restricted" as a result of previously distributed terminal illness living benefits, and minus any

surrender charge that then remains applicable. For this purpose, the Segment Distribution Value is used to calculate the policy account value.

***Policy Account Value*** — Your "policy account value" is the total of (i) your amounts in our variable investment options, (ii) your amounts in our guaranteed interest option (other than amounts included in (iii)) and (iii) any amounts that we are holding to secure policy loans that you have taken (including any interest on those amounts which has not yet been allocated to the investment options). The account value (Segment Account Value or Segment Distribution Value) of any policy amounts transferred to the MSO is also included in your policy account value. See definitions of "Segment Account Value" and "Segment Distribution Value" for additional detail regarding the calculation of the policy account value when there are assets invested in the MSO.

***Segment —*** The portion of your total investment in the MSO that is associated with a specific Segment Start Date. You create a new Segment each time an amount is transferred from the MSO Holding Account into a Segment Account.

***Segment Account Value (also referred to in your policy as the "Segment Account")*** **—** The amount of an Initial Segment Account subsequently reduced by any Early Distribution. Any such reduction in the Segment Account Value prior to its Segment Maturity Date will result in a corresponding Early Distribution Adjustment, which will cause you to lose principal and previously credited interest, and that loss could be substantial. The Segment Account Value is used in determining policy account values, death benefits, and the net amount at risk for monthly cost of insurance calculations of the policy and the new base policy face amount associated with a requested change in death benefit option.

***Segment Distribution Value (also referred to in your policy as the "Segment Value")*** **—** This is the Segment Account Value minus the Early Distribution Adjustment that would apply on a full surrender of that Segment at any time prior to the Segment Maturity Date. Segment Distribution Values will be used in determining policy value available to cover monthly deductions, any applicable proportionate surrender charges for requested face amount reductions, and other distributions; cash surrender values and maximum loan values subject to any applicable base policy surrender charge. They will also be used in determining whether any outstanding policy loan and accrued loan interest exceeds the policy account value.

***Segment Maturity Date —*** The date on which a Segment Term is completed and the Index-Linked Return for that Segment is applied to a Segment Account Value.

***Segment Maturity Value —*** This is the Segment Account Value adjusted by the Index-Linked Return for that Segment.

***Segment Start Date —*** The Segment Start Date is the day on which a Segment is created.

***Segment Term —*** The duration of a Segment. The Segment Term for each Segment begins on its Segment Start Date and ends on its Segment Maturity Date one year later. We are currently only offering Segment Terms of approximately one year. We may offer different durations in the future.

**2.** Key Features of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>

• The Market Stabilizer Option <sup>®</sup> ("MSO") is an investment option available under the policy. The option provides
for participation in the performance of the S&P 500 Price Return index, which excludes dividends (the "Index").

• We currently only offer Segment Terms of approximately one year. We may offer different durations in the future.

• The Growth Cap Rate is set at the Company's sole discretion on the Segment Start Date. The Growth Cap Rate will not change during a Segment Term and the Growth Cap Rate will always be at least 6%. You may set a
minimum Growth Cap Rate that is acceptable to you.

• On the Segment Maturity Date, we will apply the Index-Linked Rate of Return to the Segment Account Value based on the performance of the Index. If the performance of the Index has been positive for the Segment Term and
equal or below the Growth Cap Rate, we will apply to the Segment Account Value an Index-Linked Rate of Return equal to the full Index performance. If the performance of the Index has been positive for the Segment Term and above the Growth Cap Rate,
we will apply an Index-Linked Rate of Return equal to the Growth Cap Rate.

• The downside protection is 10%. Accordingly, if the Index has negative performance, the Index-Linked Rate of Return will be 0% unless the Index performance goes below -10% for the Segment Term. In that case, only the
negative performance in excess of -10% will be applied to the Segment Account Value and you bear the entire risk of loss of principal and previously credited interest for the portion of negative performance that exceeds -10%. You could lose 90% of
principal and any previously credited interest.

• An Early Distribution Adjustment on Early Distributions will be made from the Segment Account Value before the Segment Maturity Date. **Any Early Distribution Adjustment will cause you to lose up to 90% of principal and previously credited interest even if the Index has experienced positive performance since the Segment Start Date, and this loss may be substantial.** You will also forfeit any positive Index performance and could be subject to surrender
charges and tax consequences may apply.

• Once policy account value is in a Segment, you cannot transfer out of or take a partial withdrawal from a Segment prior to the Segment Maturity Date.

• We reserve the right to substitute an alternative index for the S&P 500 Price Return index, which could reduce

the Growth Cap Rates we can offer. If we were to substitute an alternative index at our discretion, we would provide notice 45 days before making that change. The new index would only apply to new Segments. Any outstanding Segments would mature on their original Segment Maturity Dates.

• If the S&P 500 Price Return index were to be discontinued or substantially changed, thereby affecting the Index-Linked Return of existing Segments, we will mature the Segments based on the most recently available
closing value of the Index before it is discontinued or changed.

• Please see "Fee Table" for complete detail on fees and charges.

Value or any amounts held in the MSO Holding Account. Amounts in the MSO Holding Account reflect fees and expenses of the EQ/Money Market Portfolio. Please see "Charges" in this Prospectus for more information. Please refer to the
variable life insurance policy prospectus for more information.

(3) We charge interest on policy loans but credit you with interest on the amount of the policy account value we hold as
collateral for the loan. The "spread" is the difference between the interest rate we charge you on a policy loan and the interest rate we credit to you on the amount of your policy account value that we hold as collateral for the loan.

(4) The actual amount of an Early Distribution Adjustment is determined by a formula that depends on, among other things, how
the Index has performed since the Segment Start Date, as discussed in detail under "Early Distribution Adjustment" in this Prospectus. The maximum amount of the adjustment would occur if there is a total distribution at a time when the
Index has declined to zero.

This fee table applies specifically to the MSO and should be read in conjunction with the fee table in the variable life insurance policy prospectus.

**Changes in charges** 

Any changes that we make in our current charges or charge rates will be on a basis that is equitable to all policies belonging to a given class, and will be determined based on reasonable assumptions as to expenses, mortality, investment income, lapses and policy claims associated with morbidity. For the sake of clarity, the assumptions referenced above include taxes, the cost of hedging, longevity, volatility, other market conditions, surrenders, persistency, conversions, disability, accident, illness, inability to perform activities of daily living, and cognitive impairment, if applicable. Any changes in charges may apply to then in force policies, as well as to new policies. You will be notified in writing of any changes in charges under your policy.

**4.** Risk Factors

There are risks associated with some features of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>:

• Because the Company relies on a single point in time to calculate the Index return, you may experience a negative return on the Segment Maturity Date even if the Index has experienced gains through some, or most, of the
Segment Term.

• There is a risk of a substantial loss of your principal and previously credited interest because you agree to absorb all losses from the portion of any negative Index performance that exceeds -10%. You could lose 90% of
principal and any previously credited interest.

• Your Index-Linked Return is also limited by the Growth Cap Rate, which could cause your Index-Linked Return to be lower than it would otherwise be if you participated in the full performance of the S&P 500 Price
Return index.

• You will not know what the Growth Cap Rate is before the Segment starts. Therefore, you will not know in advance the upper limit on the return that may be credited to your investment in a Segment.

• Negative consequences apply if, for any reason, amounts you have invested in a Segment are removed before the Segment Maturity Date. Specifically, with respect to the amounts removed early, you would (1) forfeit
any positive Index performance and (2) be subject to an Early Distribution Adjustment that exposes you to a risk of potentially substantial loss of principal and previously credited interest. This exposure is designed to be consistent with the
treatment of losses on amounts held to the Segment Maturity Date. **Even when the Index performance has been positive, the EDA will cause you to lose some principal and previously credited interest on an early removal. Surrender charges and tax consequences could also apply.** 

• The following types of removals (also referred to as Early Distributions) of account value from a Segment will result in the above-mentioned penalties to you, if the removals occur prior to the Segment Maturity Date:
(a) a surrender of your policy; (b) a loan from your policy; (c) a distribution in order to enable your policy to continue to qualify as life insurance under the federal tax laws; (d) certain distributions in connection with the
exercise of a rider available under your policy; and (e) a charge or unpaid policy loan interest that we deduct from your Segment Account Value because the Charge Reserve Amount and other funds are insufficient to cover them in their entirety.
The Charge Reserve Amount may become insufficient because of policy changes that you request, additional premium payments, investment performance, policy loans, policy partial withdrawals from other investment options besides the MSO, and any
increases we make in current charges for the policy (including for the MSO and optional riders).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

• Certain of the above types of early removals can occur (and thus result in penalties to you) without any action on your part. Examples include (i) certain distributions we might make from your Segment Account Value
to enable your policy to continue to qualify as life insurance and (ii) deductions we might make from your Segment Account Value to pay charges if the Charge Reserve Amount becomes insufficient.

• Any applicable EDA will generally be affected by changes in both the volatility and level of the S&P 500 Price Return Index. Any EDA applied to any Segment Account Value is linked to the estimated value of a put
option on the S&P 500 Price Return index as described in this Prospectus. The estimated value of the put option and, consequently, the amount of the EDA will generally be higher after increases in market volatility or after the Index experiences
a negative return following the Segment Start Date.

• Once policy account value is in a Segment, you cannot transfer out of a Segment and you can only make withdrawals out of a Segment if you surrender your policy. This would result in the imposition of any applicable
surrender charges and EDA.

• We may not offer new Segments so there is also the possibility that a Segment may not be available for a Segment Renewal at the end of your Segment Term(s).

• We also reserve the right to substitute an alternative index for the S&P 500 Price Return index, which could reduce the Growth Cap Rates we can offer.

• No company other than us has any legal responsibility to pay amounts that the Company owes under the policy. An owner should look to the financial strength of the Company for its claims-paying ability.

• You do not have any rights in the securities underlying the index, including, but not limited to, (i) interest payments, (ii) dividend payments or (iii) voting rights.

• Your Segment Maturity Value is dependent on the performance of the index on the Segment Maturity Date.

• Past performance of the index is no indication of future performance.

• The amounts required to be maintained in the Unloaned GIO for the Charge Reserve Amount during the Segment Term may earn a return that is less than the return you might have earned on those amounts in another investment
option had you not invested in a Segment.

• If you do not specify a minimum Growth Cap Rate acceptable to you, your account value could transfer into a Segment with a Growth Cap Rate that may be lower than what you would have chosen. If a minimum has been
specified, account value could remain uninvested in the MSO Holding Account until the next Segment Start Date, if any, where the Growth Cap Rate is at or above the minimum specified by you.

***9***

------

• If you die prior to the Segment Maturity Date, your death benefit will be paid as of your date of death and will not be subject to an Early Distribution Adjustment, but you will not receive any positive Index
performance.

• Upon the exercise of the Policy Continuation Rider, the MSO is no longer available and any Segments will be terminated with an Early Distribution Adjustment and you will forfeit any positive Index performance. If there
is any amount remaining in the net policy account value after the Policy Continuation Rider charge has been deducted, such amounts are treated as an additional loan and refunded to you so there will be no amounts in the variable investment options
or the MSO.

• If you exercise a Living Benefit Rider or an accelerated death benefit rider, any portion of the accelerated payment allocated to an individual Segment will cause a corresponding Early Distribution Adjustment of the
Segment Account Value and you will forfeit any positive Index performance.

**Business disruption, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence ("AI") technologies risks** 

We rely heavily on technology, including interconnected computer systems and data storage networks and digital communications, to conduct our business. Because our business is highly dependent upon the effective operation of our computer systems and those of our service providers and other business partners, our business is vulnerable to disruptions from utility outages, and susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from information systems failure (e.g., hardware and software malfunctions), and cyberattacks. Cyberattacks may be systemic (e.g., affecting the internet, cloud services, or other infrastructure) or targeted (e.g., failures in or breach of our systems or those of third parties on whom we rely, including ransomware and malware attacks). Cybersecurity risks include, among other things, the loss, theft, misuse, corruption and destruction of data maintained online or digitally, interference with or denial of service, attacks on our websites (or the websites of third parties on whom we rely), other operational disruption and unauthorized release, use or abuse of confidential customer information. The risk of cyberattacks may be higher during periods of geopolitical turmoil. Due to the increasing sophistication of cyberattacks, a cybersecurity breach could occur and persist for an extended period of time without detection. Systems failures and cyberattacks, as well as, any other catastrophic event, including natural and manmade disasters, public health emergencies, pandemic diseases, terrorist attacks, floods or severe storms affecting us, any third-party administrator, the underlying funds, intermediaries and other affiliated or third-party service providers may adversely affect us, our business operations and your account value and interfere with our ability to process policy transactions and calculate account values. Systems failures and cyberattacks may also interfere with our processing of policy transactions, including the processing of orders from our website or with the underlying

funds, impact our ability to calculate account values and unit values and/or the underlying funds to be unable to calculate share values, cause the release or possible destruction of confidential customer and/or business information, impede order processing or cause other operational issues, subject us and/or our service providers and intermediaries to regulatory fines, litigation and financial losses and/or cause reputational damage. Cybersecurity risks may also impact the issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the underlying funds to lose value. The preventative actions we take to reduce the frequency and severity of cybersecurity incidents and protect our computer systems may be insufficient to prevent a cybersecurity breach from impacting our operations or your policy value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid cybersecurity breaches affecting your policy.

The development and deployment of AI tools and technologies, including generative AI, and its use and anticipated use by us or by third parties on whom we rely, may increase our existing operational risks or create new operational risks that we are not currently anticipating. AI and generative AI may be misused by us or by third parties upon which we rely, and that risk is increased by the relative newness of the technology, the speed at which it is being adopted, and the uncertain and evolving policy and regulatory landscape governing its use. Such misuse could expose us to legal or regulatory risk. Because the generative AI technology is so new, many of the potential risks of generative AI are currently unknowable.

In addition, we are also exposed to risks related to natural and man-made disasters, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of any storms, fires, floods, earthquakes, public health crises, malicious acts, and terrorist acts or any other event, which could adversely affect our ability to conduct business. A natural or man-made disaster, including a pandemic such as COVID-19, could result in our workforce, and/or employees of service providers and/or third-party administrators, being compromised and unable or unwilling to fully perform their responsibilities, which could likewise result in interruptions in our service. This could interfere with our processing of policy transactions, including processing orders from owners and orders with the underlying funds, impact our ability to calculate policy value, or have other adverse impacts on our operations. These events may also negatively affect our service providers and intermediaries, the underlying funds and issuers of securities in which the underlying funds invest, which may cause the funds underlying your policy to lose value. There can be no assurance that we or the underlying funds or our service providers and intermediaries will be able to avoid negative impacts associated with natural and man-made disasters.

**5.** Description of the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>

We offer a Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> that provides a rate of return tied to the performance of the Index.

***MSO Holding Account***

The amount of each transfer or loan repayment you make to the MSO, and the balance of each premium payment you make to the MSO after any premium charge under your base policy has been deducted, will first be placed in the MSO Holding Account. The MSO Holding Account is a portion of the regular EQ/Money Market variable investment option that will hold amounts allocated to the MSO until the next available Segment Start Date. The MSO Holding Account has the same rate of return and is subject to the same underlying portfolio operating expenses and same mortality and expense risk charges as the EQ/Money Market variable investment option. Please refer to Fee Table of the variable life insurance policy prospectus for more information regarding such expenses. We currently plan on offering new Segments on a monthly basis but reserve the right to offer them less frequently or to stop offering them or to suspend offering them temporarily.

Before any account value is transferred into a Segment, you can transfer amounts from the MSO Holding Account into other investment options available under your policy at any time subject to any transfer restrictions within your policy. You can transfer into and out of the MSO Holding Account at any time up to and including the Segment Start Date provided your transfer request is received at our administrative office by such date. For example, you can transfer policy account value into the MSO Holding Account on the 3rd Friday of June which is the Segment Start Date. That policy account value would transfer into the Segment starting on that date, subject to the conditions mentioned earlier. You can also transfer policy account value out of the MSO Holding Account before the end of the business day on the Segment Start Date and that account value would not be swept into the Segment starting on that date. Please refer to the "How to reach us" section of the variable life insurance policy prospectus for more information regarding contacting us and communicating your instructions. We also have specific forms that we recommend you use for electing the MSO and any MSO transactions.

On the Segment Start Date, account value in the MSO Holding Account, excluding charges and any account value transferred to cover the Charge Reserve Amount, will be transferred into a Segment if all requirements and limitations are met that are discussed under "Segments" immediately below.

***Segments***

Each Segment will have a Segment Start Date of the 3rd Friday of each calendar month and will have a Segment Maturity Date on the 3rd Friday of the same calendar month in the succeeding calendar year.

In order for any amount to be transferred from the MSO Holding Account into a new Segment on a Segment Start Date, all of the following conditions must be met on that date:

(1) The Growth Cap Rate for that Segment must be equal to or greater than your minimum Growth Cap Rate (Please see
"Growth Cap Rate" in this Prospectus).

(2) There must be sufficient account value available within the Unloaned GIO and the variable investment options including
the MSO Holding Account to cover the Charge Reserve Amount as determined by us on such date (Please see "Charge Reserve Amount" in this Prospectus).

(3) The Growth Cap Rate must be greater than the sum of the annual interest rate we are currently crediting on the Unloaned
GIO ("A"), the annualized monthly Variable Index Segment Account Charge rate ("B") and the current annualized monthly mortality and expense risk charge rate ("C"). The Growth Cap Rate must be greater than
(A+B+C). This is to ensure that the highest possible rate of return that could be received in a Segment after these charges (B+C) have been considered exceeds the interest crediting rate currently being offered in the Unloaned GIO.

(4) It must not be necessary, as determined by us on that date, for us to make a distribution from the policy during the
Segment Term in order for the policy to continue to qualify as life insurance under applicable tax law.

(5) The total amount allocated to your Segments under your policy on that date must be less than any limit we may have
established. At this time there is no limit.

If there is sufficient policy account value in the Unloaned GIO to cover the Charge Reserve Amount, then no transfers from other investment options to the Unloaned GIO will need to be made. If there is insufficient value in the Unloaned GIO to cover the Charge Reserve Amount and we do not receive instructions from you specifying the investment options from which we should transfer the account value to the Unloaned GIO to meet Charge Reserve Amount requirements at the Segment Start Date, or the transfer instructions are not possible due to insufficient funds, then the required amount will be transferred proportionately from your variable investment options including the MSO Holding Account.

If after any transfers there would be an insufficient amount in the Unloaned GIO to cover the Charge Reserve Amount or the Growth Cap Rate for the next available Segment does not qualify per your minimum Growth Cap Rate instructions and the conditions listed above, then your amount in the MSO Holding Account will remain there until we receive further instruction from you. We will mail you a notice informing you that your account value did or did not transfer from the MSO Holding Account into a Segment. These notices are mailed on or about the next business day after the applicable Segment Start Date.

***11***

------

***Segment Maturity***

Near the end of the Segment Term, we will notify you between 15 and 45 days before the Segment Maturity Date that a Segment is about to mature. At that time, you may choose to have all or a part of:

(a) the Segment Maturity Value rolled over into the MSO Holding Account

(b) the Segment Maturity Value transferred to the variable investment options available under your policy

(c) the Segment Maturity Value transferred to the Unloaned GIO.

If we do not receive your transfer instructions before the Segment Maturity Date, your Segment Maturity Value will automatically be rolled over into the MSO Holding Account for investment in the next available Segment, subject to the conditions listed under "Segments" above.

However, if we are not offering the MSO at that time, we will transfer the Segment Maturity Value to the investment options available under your policy per your instructions or to the EQ/Money Market investment option if no instructions are received. Although under the variable life insurance policy we reserve the right to apply a transfer charge up to $25 for each transfer among your investment options, there will be no transfer charges for any of the transfers discussed in this section.

***Growth Cap Rate***

By allocating your account value to the MSO, you can participate in the performance of the Index up to the applicable Growth Cap Rate that we declare on the Segment Start Date.

Please note that this means you will not know the Growth Cap Rate for a new Segment until after the account value has been transferred from the MSO Holding Account into the Segment and you are not allowed to transfer the account value out of a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date. Please see "Transfers" below.

Each Segment is likely to have a different Growth Cap Rate. Any increases in the Growth Cap Rate above the minimum 6% are set at the Company's sole discretion. **However, the Growth Cap Rate will never be less than 6%.**

As part of your initial instructions in selecting the MSO, you will specify what your minimum acceptable Growth Cap Rate is for a Segment. You may specify a minimum Growth Cap Rate from 6% to 10%. If the Growth Cap Rate we set, on the Segment Start Date, is below the minimum you specified then the account value will not be transferred from the MSO Holding Account into that Segment. If you do not specify a minimum Growth Cap Rate then your minimum Growth Cap Rate will be set at 6%. Therefore, if you do not specify a minimum acceptable Growth Cap Rate, account value could transfer into a Segment with a Growth Cap Rate that may be lower than what you would have chosen. In addition, for account value to transfer into a Segment from the MSO Holding Account, the Growth Cap Rate must be greater than the sum of the annual interest rate we are currently crediting on the Unloaned GIO ("A"), the current annualized monthly Variable

Index Segment Account Charge rate ("B") and the current annualized monthly mortality and expense risk charge rate ("C"). The Growth Cap Rate must be greater than (A+B+C).

For example, assume that the annual interest rate we are currently crediting on the Unloaned GIO were 4.00%, the current annualized monthly Variable Index Segment Account charge rate were 1.40% and the annualized monthly mortality and expense risk charge rate were 0.85%. Based on those assumptions (which we provide only for illustrative purposes and will not necessarily correspond to actual rates), because these numbers total 6.25%, no amounts would be transferred into any Segment unless we declare a Growth Cap Rate that is higher than 6.25%. Please see "Index-Linked Return" in this Prospectus for more information.

As another example, you may specify a minimum Growth Cap Rate of 8%. If we set the Growth Cap Rate at 8% or higher for a Segment then a transfer from the MSO Holding Account will be made into that new Segment provided all other requirements and conditions discussed in this Prospectus are met. If we set the Growth Cap Rate below 8% then no transfer from the MSO Holding Account will be made into that Segment. No transfer will be made until a Segment Growth Cap Rate equal to or greater than 8% is set and all requirements are met or you transfer account value out of the MSO Holding Account.

You may also subsequently change the minimum Growth Cap Rate by contacting us at our Administrative Office.

***Downside Protection***

Your protection against negative performance for a Segment held until its Segment Maturity Date is currently -10% ("Downside Protection" also referred to in your policy as the "Segment Loss Absorption Threshold Rate"). We reserve the right, for new Segments, to increase your Downside Protection against negative performance. For example, if we were to adjust the Downside Protection for a Segment to -100%, the Index-Linked Rate of Return for that Segment would not go below 0%. Please note that any increase in the protection against negative performance would likely result in a lower Growth Cap Rate than would otherwise apply. We will provide notice between 15 and 45 days before any change in the Downside Protection is effective. Any change would only apply to new Segments started after the effective date of the change, which (coupled with the 15-45 day notice we will give) will afford you the opportunity to decline to participate in any Segment that reflects a change in the Downside Protection.

**Any increases in Downside Protection from the minimum -10% are set at the Company's sole discretion.** However, we may only increase your Downside Protection from the current -10%. Your Downside Protection will never decrease below -10%.

***Index-Linked Return***

We calculate the Index-Linked Return for a Segment by taking the Index-Linked Rate of Return and multiplying it by the

***12***

------

Segment Account Value on the Segment Maturity Date. The Segment Account Value is net of any Early Distributions and any corresponding Early Distribution Adjustments. The Segment Account Value does not include the Charge Reserve Amount described in this Prospectus.

The following table demonstrates the Index-Linked Rate of Return and the Segment Maturity Value on the Segment Maturity Date based upon a hypothetical range of returns for the S&P 500 Price Return index. This example assumes a 15% Growth Cap Rate, a $1,000 investment in the MSO Segment and a Downside Protection of -10%. No Early Distributions have occurred during the Segment term.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Index Performance<br>Rate of the S&P 500<br>Price Return index** | **Index-Linked Rate**<br> **of Return** | **Segment Maturity<br>Value** |
| 50% | 15% | $1150 |
| 25% | 15% | $1150 |
| 10% | 10% | $1100 |
| 0% | 0% | $1000 |
| -10% | 0% | $1000 |
| -25% | -15% | $850 |
| -50% | -40% | $600 |
| -75% | -65% | $350 |
| -100% | -90% | $100 |

---

For instance, we may set the Growth Cap Rate at 15%. Therefore, if the Index has gone up 25% or 50% over your Segment Term, you will receive a 15% credit to your Segment Account Value on the Segment Maturity Date. If the Index had gone up by 10% from your Segment Start Date to your Segment Maturity Date then you would receive a credit of 10% to your Segment Account Value on the Segment Maturity Date.

If the Index had gone down 10% over the Segment Term then you would receive a return of 0% to your Segment Account Value on the Segment Maturity Date.

If the Index had gone down by 25% by your Segment Maturity Date then your Segment Account Value would be reduced by 15% on the Segment Maturity Date. The Downside Protection feature of the MSO will absorb the negative performance of the Index up to -10%.

The Index-Linked Return is only applied to amounts that remain in a Segment until the Segment Maturity Date. For example, a surrender of your policy before Segment maturity will eliminate any Index-Linked Return and be subject to a Early Distribution Adjustment.

***Change in Index***

If the Index is discontinued or if the calculation of the Index is substantially changed, we reserve the right to substitute an alternative index. We also reserve the right to choose an alternative index at our discretion.

If we were to substitute an alternative index at our discretion, we would provide notice 45 days before making that change. The new index would only apply to new Segments. Any outstanding Segments would mature on their original Segment Maturity Dates.

With an alternative index, the Downside Protection would remain the same or greater. However, an alternative index may reduce the Growth Cap Rates we can offer. We would attempt to choose a substitute index that has a similar investment objective and risk profile to the S&P 500 Price Return index.

If the S&P 500 Price Return index were to be discontinued or substantially changed, thereby affecting the Index-Linked Return of existing Segments, we will mature the Segments based on the most recently available closing value of the Index before it is discontinued or changed. Such maturity will be as of the date of such most recently available closing value of the Index and we will use that closing value to calculate the Index-linked Return through that date. We would apply the full Index performance to that date subject to the full Growth Cap Rate and Downside Protection. For example, if the Index was up 12% at the time we matured the Segment and the Growth Cap Rate was 8%, we would credit an 8% return to your Segment Account Value. If the Index was down 30% at the time we matured the Segment, we would credit a 20% negative return to your Segment Account Value. We would provide notice about maturing the Segment, as soon as practicable and ask for instructions on where to transfer your Segment Maturity Value.

If we are still offering Segments at that time, you can request that the Segment Maturity Value be invested in a new Segment, in which case we will hold the Segment Maturity Value in the MSO Holding Account for investment in the next available Segment subject to the same terms and conditions discussed above under MSO Holding Account and Segments.

In the case of any of the types of early maturities discussed above, there would be no transfer charges or EDA applied and you can allocate the Segment Maturity Value to the investment options available under your policy. Please see "Segment Maturity" in this Prospectus for more information. If we continued offering new Segments, then such a change in the Index may cause lower Growth Cap Rates to be offered. However, we would still provide a minimum Growth Cap Rate of 6% and minimum Downside Protection of -10%. We also reserve the right to not offer new Segments. Please see "Right to Discontinue and Limit Amounts Allocated to the MSO" in this Prospectus.

***Charges***

There is a current percentage charge of 0.40% of any policy account value allocated to each Segment. We reserve the right to increase or decrease the charge although it will never exceed 1.65%.

The base variable life insurance policy's mortality and expense risk charge will also be applicable to a Segment Account Value or any amounts held in the MSO Holding Account. The current mortality and expense risk charge deducted monthly is 0.60% of Segment Account Value or and amounts held in the MSO Holding Account during the first 8 policy years, with no charge in policy year 9 and thereafter. We reserve the right to increase or decrease this

***13***

------

charge in the future, although it will never exceed 1.00% during policy years 1-10 and 0.50% during policy years 11 and later. Amounts in the MSO Holding Account reflect fees and expenses of the EQ/Money Market Portfolio, which are described in the prospectuses for the variable life insurance policy and the EQ/Money Market Portfolio. Please refer to the variable life insurance policy prospectus for more information.

Please see "Loan Interest Spread" in the "Fee Table" in this Prospectus for information regarding the "spread" you would pay on any policy loan.

***Charge Reserve Amount***

If you elect the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup>, you are required to maintain a minimum amount of policy account value in the Unloaned GIO to approximately cover the estimated monthly charges for the policy, (including, but not limited to, the MSO and any optional riders) for the Segment Term. This is the Charge Reserve Amount.

The Charge Reserve Amount will be determined on each Segment Start Date as an amount projected to be sufficient to cover all of the policy's monthly deductions during the Segment Term, assuming at the time such calculation is made that no interest or investment performance is credited to or charged against the policy account and that no policy changes or additional premium payments are made. The Charge Reserve Amount on other than a Segment Start Date will be the Charge Reserve Amount determined as of the latest Segment Start Date reduced by each subsequent monthly deduction during the longest remaining Segment Term, although it will never be less than zero. This means, for example, that if you are in a Segment (Segment A) and then enter another Segment (Segment B) 6 months later, the Charge Reserve Amount would be re-calculated on the start date of Segment B. The Charge Reserve Amount would be re-calculated to cover all of the policy's monthly deductions during the Segment Terms for both Segments A and B.

When you select the MSO, as part of your initial instructions, you will be asked to specify the investment options from which we should transfer the account value to the Unloaned GIO to meet Charge Reserve Amount requirements, if necessary. No transfer restrictions apply to amounts that you wish to transfer into the Unloaned GIO to meet the Charge Reserve Amount requirement. If your values in the variable investment options including the MSO Holding Account and the unloaned portion of our GIO are insufficient to cover the Charge Reserve Amount, no new Segment will be established. Please see "Segments" above for more information regarding the Charge Reserve Amount and how amounts may be transferred to meet this requirement.

Please note that the Charge Reserve Amount may not be sufficient to cover actual monthly deductions during the Segment Term. Although the Charge Reserve Amount will be re-calculated on each Segment Start Date, and the amount already present in the Unloaned GIO will be supplemented through transfers from your value in the variable investment options including the MSO Holding Account, if necessary to

meet this requirement, actual monthly deductions could vary up or down during the Segment Term due to various factors including but not limited to requested policy changes, additional premium payments, investment performance, loans, policy partial withdrawals from other investment options besides the MSO, and any changes we might make to current policy charges.

Please also refer to the life insurance policy prospectus for more information.

***How we deduct policy monthly charges during a Segment Term***

Under your base variable life insurance policy, monthly deductions are allocated to the variable investment options and the Unloaned GIO according to deduction allocation percentages specified by you or based on a proportionate allocation should any of the individual investment option values be insufficient.

However, if the Market Stabilizer Option<sup>®</sup> is elected, on the Segment Start Date, deduction allocation percentages will be changed so that 100% of monthly deductions will be taken from the Charge Reserve Amount and then any remaining value in the Unloaned GIO, if the Charge Reserve Amount is depleted, during the Segment Term. In addition, if the value in the Unloaned GIO is ever insufficient to cover monthly deductions during the Segment Term, the base policy's proportionate allocation procedure will be modified as follows:

1. The first step will be to take the remaining portion of the deductions proportionately from the values in the variable
investment options, including any value in the MSO Holding Account but excluding any Segment Account Values.

2. If the Unloaned GIO and variable investment options, including any value in the MSO Holding Account, are insufficient to
cover deductions in their entirety, the remaining amount will be allocated to the individual Segments proportionately, based on the current Segment Distribution Values.

3. Any portion of a monthly deduction allocated to an individual Segment will generate a corresponding Early Distribution
Adjustment of the Segment Account Value.

The effect of those procedures is that account value will be taken out of a Segment to pay a monthly deduction (and an EDA therefore applied) only if there is no remaining account value in any other investment options, as listed in 1. and 2. above.

In addition, your base variable life insurance policy will lapse if your net policy account value or net cash surrender value (please refer to your base variable life insurance policy prospectus for a further explanation of these terms) is not enough to pay your policy's monthly charges when due (unless one of the available guarantees against termination is applicable). If you have amounts allocated to MSO Segments, the Segment Distribution Value will be used in place of the Segment Account Value in calculating the net policy account value and net cash surrender value.

***14***

------

These modifications will apply during any period in which a Segment exists and has not yet reached its Segment Maturity Date.

***Early Distribution Adjustment***

*Overview* 

Before a Segment matures, if you surrender your policy, take a loan from a Segment or have another Early Distribution, we will apply an Early Distribution Adjustment.

The application of the EDA is based on your agreement (under the terms of the MSO) to be exposed to the risk that, at the Segment Maturity Date, the Index will have fallen by more than 10%. The EDA uses what we refer to as a Put Option Factor to estimate the market value, at the time of an Early Distribution, of the risk that you would suffer a loss if your Segment were continued (without taking the Early Distribution) until its Segment Maturity Date. By charging you with a deduction equal to that estimated value, the EDA provides a treatment for an Early Distribution that is designed to be consistent with how distributions at the end of a Segment are treated when the Index has declined over the course of that Segment.

**In the event of an Early Distribution even if the Index has experienced positive performance since the Segment Start Date, the EDA will cause you to lose principal and previously credited interest through the application of the Put Option Factor and that loss may be substantial.** That is because there is always some risk that the Index would have declined by the Segment Maturity Date such that you would suffer a loss if the Segment were continued (without taking any Early Distribution) until that time. The overall impact of the EDA is to reduce your Segment Account Value and your other policy values.

We determine the EDA and the Put Option Factor by formulas that are described below under "*Additional Detail*."

*Important Considerations* 

When any surrender, loan, charge deduction or other distribution is made from a Segment before its Segment Maturity Date:

**1.** **You will forfeit any positive Index performance with respect to these amounts. Instead, any of these pre- Segment Maturity Date distributions will cause an EDA to be applied that will usually result in a reduction in your values. Surrender charges and tax consequences also could apply to Early Distributions. Therefore, you should give careful consideration before taking any such early loan or surrender, exercising a rider or allowing the value in your other investment options to fall so low that we must make any monthly deduction from a Segment; and** 

2. The EDA will be applied, which means that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

a. *If the Index has fallen more than 10% since the Segment Start Date*, the EDA would generally have the effect of
charging you for (i) the full amount of that loss below 10%, plus (ii) an additional amount for the risk that the Index might decline further by the Segment Maturity Date. (Please see example III in Appendix "Early Distribution
Adjustment Examples" for further information.)

b. *If the Index has fallen since the Segment Start Date, but by less than 10%*, the EDA would charge you for the risk
that, by the Segment Maturity Date, the index might have declined further to a point more than 10% below what it was at the Segment Start Date. (Please see example I in Appendix "Early Distribution Adjustment Examples" for further
information.) This charge would generally be less than the amount by which the Index had fallen from the Segment Start Date through the date we apply the EDA. It also would generally be less than it would be under the circumstances in 2a. above.

c. *If the Index has risen since the Segment Start Date*, the EDA would not credit you with any of such favorable
investment performance. Instead, the EDA would charge you for the risk that, by the Segment Maturity Date, the index might have declined to a point more than 10% below what it was at the Segment Start Date. (Please see examples II and IV in Appendix
"Early Distribution Adjustment Examples" for further information.) This charge would generally be less than it would be under the circumstances in 2a. and 2b. above.

For the reasons discussed above, the Early Distribution Adjustment to the Segment Account Value will usually reduce the amount you would receive when you surrender your policy prior to a Segment Maturity Date. For loans and charge deductions, the Early Distribution Adjustment would usually further reduce the account value remaining in the Segment Account Value and therefore decrease the Segment Maturity Value.

Surrender charges and tax consequences can also apply to Early Distributions.

*Additional Detail* 

For purposes of determining the Segment Distribution Value prior to a Segment Maturity Date, the EDA is the Put Option Factor multiplied by the Segment Account Value.

The Put Option Factor multiplied by the Segment Account Value represents, at any time during the Segment Term, the estimated market value of your potential exposure to negative S&P 500 Price Return index performance that is worse than -10%. The Put Option Factor, on any date, represents the estimated value on that date of a hypothetical "put option" (as described below) on the Index having a notional value equal to $1 and strike price at Segment Maturity equal to $0.90 ($1 plus the Downside Protection which is currently -10%). The strike price of the option ($0.90) is the difference

***15***

------

between a 100% loss in the S&P 500 Price Return index at Segment Maturity and the 10% loss at Segment Maturity that would be absorbed by the Downside Protection feature of the MSO (please see "Growth Cap Rate" in this Prospectus for an explanation of the Downside Protection.) In a put option on an index, the seller will pay the buyer, at the maturity of the option, the difference between the strike price — which was set at issue — and the underlying index closing price, in the event that the closing price is below the strike price. Prior to the maturity of the put option, its value generally will have an inverse relationship with the index. The notional value can be described as the price of the underlying index at inception of the contract. Using a notional value of $1 facilitates computation of the percentage change in the Index and the put option factor.

The Company will utilize a fair market value methodology to determine the Put Option Factor.

For this purpose, we use the Black Scholes formula for valuing a European put option on the S&P 500 Price Return index, assuming a continuous dividend yield, with inputs that are consistent with current market prices.

The inputs to the Black Scholes Model include:

(1) Implied Volatility of the Index — This input varies with (i) how much time remains until the Maturity Date of
the Segment from which an Early Distribution is being made, which is determined by using an expiration date for the hypothetical put option that corresponds to that time remaining and (ii) the relationship between the strike price of the
hypothetical put option and the level of the S&P 500 Price Return index at the time of the Early Distribution. This relationship is referred to as the "moneyness" of the hypothetical put option described above, and is calculated as
the ratio of the $0.90 strike price of that hypothetical put option to what the level of the S&P 500 Price Return index would be at the time of the Early Distribution if the Index had been $1 at the beginning of the Segment. Direct market data
for these inputs for any given Early Distribution are generally not available, because put options on the Index that actually trade in the market have specific maturity dates and moneyness values that are unlikely to correspond precisely to the
Maturity Date and moneyness of the hypothetical put option that we use for purposes of calculating the EDA.

Accordingly, we use the following method to estimate the implied volatility of the index. We receive daily quotes of implied volatility from banks using the same Black Scholes model described above and based on the market prices for certain S&P 500 Price Return put options. Specifically, implied volatility quotes are obtained for put options with the closest maturities above and below the actual time remaining in the Segment at the time of the Early Distribution and, for each maturity, for those put options having the closest moneyness value above and below the actual moneyness of the hypothetical put option described above, given the level of the S&P 500 Price Return index at the

time of the Early Distribution. In calculating the Put Option Factor, we will derive a volatility input for your Segment's time to maturity and strike price by linearly interpolating between the implied volatility quotes that are based on the actual adjacent maturities and moneyness values described above, as follows:

(a) We first determine the implied volatility of a put option that has the same moneyness as the hypothetical put option but
with the closest available time to maturity shorter than your Segment's remaining time to maturity. This volatility is derived by linearly interpolating between the implied volatilities of put options having the moneyness values that are above
and below the moneyness value of the hypothetical put option.

(b) We then determine the implied volatility of a put option that has the same moneyness as the hypothetical put option but
with the closest available time to maturity longer than your Segment's remaining time to maturity. This volatility is derived by linearly interpolating between the implied volatilities of put options having the moneyness values that are above
and below the moneyness value of the hypothetical put option.

(c) The volatility input for your Segment's time to maturity will then be determined by linearly interpolating between
the volatilities derived in steps (a) and (b).

(2) Overnight Indexed Swap (OIS) Rate — Key duration OIS rates will be retrieved from a recognized financial reporting
vendor. OIS rates will be retrieved for maturities adjacent to the actual time remaining in the Segment at the time of the Early Distribution. We will use linear interpolation to derive the exact remaining duration rate needed as the input.

(3) Index Dividend Yield — On a daily basis we will get the projected annual dividend yield across the entire Index.
This value is a widely used assumption and is readily available from recognized financial reporting vendors.

In general, the Put Option Factor has an inverse relationship with the S&P 500 Price Return index. In addition to the factors discussed above, the Put Option Factor is also influenced by time to Segment Maturity. We determine Put Option Factors at the end of each business day. Generally, a business day is any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. If any inputs to the Black Scholes formula are unavailable on a business day, we would use the value of the input from the most recent preceding business day. The Put Option Factor that applies to a transaction or valuation made on a business day will be the Factor for that day. The Put Option Factor that applies to a transaction or valuation made on a non-business day will be the Factor for the next business day.

Appendix "Early Distribution Adjustment Examples" provides examples of how the Early Distribution Adjustment is calculated.

***Transfers***

The Company does not impose the policy's $25 transfer charge to transfer into and out of the MSO Holding Account and you can make a transfer at any time to or from the investment options available under your policy subject to any transfer restrictions within your policy. Any restrictions applicable to transfers between the MSO Holding Account and such investment options would be the same transfer restrictions applicable to transfers between the investment options available under your policy. However, once policy account value has been swept from the MSO Holding Account into a Segment, transfers into or out of that Segment before its Segment Maturity Date will not be permitted. In order to transfer account value to the MSO, there must be sufficient funds remaining in the guaranteed interest option following the transfer to cover the Charge Reserve Amount. Please note that while a Segment is in effect, before the Segment Maturity Date, the amount available for transfers from the Unloaned GIO will be limited to avoid reducing the Unloaned GIO below the remaining Charge Reserve Amount.

Thus the amount available for transfers from the Unloaned GIO will not be greater than any excess of the Unloaned GIO over the remaining Charge Reserve Amount.

Please also refer to the life insurance policy prospectus for more information.

***Withdrawals***

Once policy account value has been swept from the MSO Holding Account into a Segment, you will not be allowed to withdraw the account value out of a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date unless you surrender your policy. You may also take a loan; please see "Loans" in this Prospectus for more information. Any account value taken out of a Segment before the Segment Maturity Date will generate an Early Distribution Adjustment. Please note that while a Segment is in effect, before the Segment Maturity Date, the amount available for withdrawals from the Unloaned GIO will be limited to avoid reducing the Unloaned GIO below the Charge Reserve Amount. Thus, if there is any policy account value in a Segment, the amount which would otherwise be available to you for a partial withdrawal of net cash surrender value will be reduced, by the amount (if any) by which the sum of your Segment Distribution Values and the Charge Reserve Amount exceeds the policy surrender charge.

If the policy owner does not indicate or if we cannot allocate the withdrawal as requested due to insufficient funds, we will allocate the withdrawal proportionately from your values in the Unloaned GIO (excluding the Charge Reserve Amount) and your values in the variable investment options including the MSO Holding Account.

***Cash Surrender Value, Net Cash Surrender Value and Loan Value***

If you have amounts allocated to MSO Segments, the Segment Distribution Values will be used in place of the Segment Account Values in calculating the amount of any cash surrender value, net cash surrender value and maximum amount available for loans. This means an EDA would apply to those amounts. Please see Appendix "Early Distribution Adjustment Examples" for more information.

***Guideline Premium Force-outs***

For policies that use the Guideline Premium Test, a new Segment will not be established or created if we determine, when we process your election, that a distribution from the policy will be required to maintain its qualification as life insurance under federal tax law at any time during the Segment Term.

However, during a Segment Term if a distribution becomes necessary under the force-out rules of Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, it will be deducted proportionately from the values in the Unloaned GIO (excluding the Charge Reserve Amount) and in any variable investment option, including any value in the MSO Holding Account but excluding any Segment Account Values.

If the Unloaned GIO (excluding the Charge Reserve Amount) and variable investment options, including any value in the MSO Holding Account, are insufficient to cover the force-out in its entirety, any remaining amount required to be forced out will be taken from the individual Segments proportionately, based on the current Segment Distribution Values.

**Any portion of a force-out distribution taken from an individual Segment will generate a corresponding Early Distribution Adjustment of the Segment Account Value**.

If the Unloaned GIO (excluding the remaining Charge Reserve Amount), together with the variable investment options including any value in the MSO Holding Account, and the Segment Distribution Values, is still insufficient to cover the force-out in its entirety, the remaining amount of the force-out will be allocated to the Unloaned GIO and reduce or eliminate any remaining Charge Reserve Amount under the Unloaned GIO.

***Loans***

Please see the variable life insurance policy prospectus for information regarding policy loan provisions. The maximum loan interest rate that will be charged to the amounts you borrow for a policy year shall be the greater of (1) the "Published Monthly Average," as defined below, for the calendar month that ends two months before the date of determination and (2) the guaranteed minimum interest crediting rate for the Guaranteed Interest Option plus 1% per year. "Published Monthly Average" means the Moody's Corporate Bond Yield Average - Monthly Average Corporates published by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., or any successor to it.

You may specify how your loan is to be allocated among the MSO, the variable investment options and the Unloaned GIO. Any portion of a requested loan allocated to the MSO will be redeemed from the individual Segments and the MSO Holding Account proportionately, based on the value of the MSO Holding Account and the current Segment Distribution Values of each Segment. Any portion allocated to an individual Segment will generate a corresponding Early Distribution Adjustment of the Segment Account Value and be subject to a higher guaranteed maximum loan spread (5%). The loan spread is the difference between the interest rate we charge on the amounts borrowed and the interest rate credited on amounts held as collateral. The guaranteed minimum interest rate credited on loan collateral is 1%.

***17***

------

For example, if the current rate credited on loan collateral is 1% per year, then the rate charged on amounts of the loan allocated to the MSO will be at most 1% plus 5% for a total of 6% per year subject to the maximum loan interest rate that will be applied to the amounts you borrow.

If you do not specify or if we cannot allocate the loan according to your specifications, we will allocate the loan proportionately from your values in the Unloaned GIO (excluding the Charge Reserve Amount) and your values in the variable investment options including the MSO Holding Account.

If the Unloaned GIO (excluding the remaining amount of the Charge Reserve Amount), together with the variable investment options including any value in the MSO Holding Account, are insufficient to cover the loan in its entirety, the remaining amount of the loan will be allocated to the individual Segments proportionately, based on current Segment Distribution Values.

**Any portion of a loan allocated to an individual Segment will generate a corresponding Early Distribution Adjustment of the Segment Account Value and be subject to a higher guaranteed maximum loan spread.** 

If the Unloaned GIO (excluding the remaining amount of the Charge Reserve Amount), together with the variable investment options including any value in the MSO Holding Account and the Segment Distribution Values, are still insufficient to cover the loan in its entirety, the remaining amount of the loan will be allocated to the Unloaned GIO and will reduce or eliminate the remaining Charge Reserve Amount.

Loan interest is due on each policy anniversary. If the interest is not paid when due, it will be added to your outstanding loan and allocated on the same basis as monthly deductions. See "How we deduct policy monthly charges during a Segment Term."

Whether or not any Segment is in effect and has not yet reached its Segment Maturity Date, loan repayments will first reduce any loaned amounts that are subject to the higher maximum loan interest spread. Loan repayments will first be used to restore any amounts that, before being designated as loan collateral, had been in the Unloaned GIO. Any portion of an additional loan repayment allocated to the MSO at the policy owner's direction (or according to premium allocation percentages) will be transferred to the MSO Holding Account to await the next available Segment Start Date and will be subject to the same conditions described in this Prospectus.

***Asset Rebalancing Service***

If you are invested in MSO, you may also elect the Asset Rebalancing Service. However, any amounts allocated to the MSO will not be included in the rebalance transactions. The investment options available to your Asset Rebalancing Service do not include the MSO Holding Account or Segments. Please see the variable life insurance policy prospectus for more information.

***Your right to cancel within a certain number of days***

Please refer to the variable insurance policy prospectus for more information regarding your right to cancel your policy within a certain number of days and the Investment Start Date, which is the business day your investment first begins to earn a return for you. However, the policy prospectus provisions that address when amounts will be allocated to the investment options do not apply to amounts allocated to the MSO.

In those states that require us to return your premium without adjustment for investment performance within a certain number of days, we will initially put all amounts which you have allocated to the MSO into our EQ/Money Market investment option. If we have received all necessary requirements for your policy as of the day your policy is issued, on the first business day following the later of the twentieth day after your policy is issued or the Investment Start Date (30th day in most states if your policy is issued as the result of a replacement), we will re-allocate those amounts to the MSO Holding Account where they will remain until the next available Segment Start Date, at which time such amounts will be transferred to a new Segment of the MSO subject to meeting the conditions described in this Prospectus. However, if we have not received all necessary requirements for your policy as of the day your policy is issued, we will re-allocate those amounts to the MSO Holding Account on the 20th day (longer if your policy is issued as the result of a replacement) following the date we receive all necessary requirements to put your policy in force at our Administrative Office. Your financial professional can provide further information on what requirements may apply to your policy.

In all other states, any amounts allocated to the MSO will first be allocated to the MSO Holding Account where they will remain for 20 days (unless the policy is issued as the result of a replacement, in which case amounts in the MSO Holding Account will remain there for 30 days (45 days in Pennsylvania)). Thereafter, such amounts will be transferred to a new Segment of the MSO on the next available Segment Start Date, subject to meeting the conditions described in this Prospectus.

***Right to Discontinue and Limit Amounts Allocated to the MSO***

We reserve the right to restrict or terminate future allocations to the MSO at any time. If this right were ever to be exercised by us, all Segments outstanding as of the effective date of the restriction would be guaranteed to continue uninterrupted until the Segment Maturity Date. As each such Segment matured, the balance would be reallocated to the Unloaned GIO and/or variable investment options per your instructions, or to the EQ/Money Market investment option if no instructions are received. We may also temporarily suspend offering Segments at any time and for any reason including emergency conditions as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We also reserve the right to establish a maximum amount for any single policy that can be allocated to the MSO.

***18***

------

Transfers are limited to an amount that will not cause the value of the MSO Holding Account and MSO Segments to be more than 50% of the total unloaned Policy Account Value. This policy account restriction does not apply to MSO Segment rollovers or to transfers initiated by our Automatic Transfer Service.

**Impact of MSO Election on Other Policy Riders and/or Services** 

• If your policy has the Policy Continuation Rider, and your policy goes on Policy Continuation while you have amounts invested in MSO, you will forfeit any positive Index performance and be subject to an Early
Distribution Adjustment with respect to these amounts. If there is any amount remaining in the net policy account value after the Policy Continuation Rider charge has been deducted, such amounts are treated as an additional loan and refunded to you
so there will be no amounts in the variable investment options or the MSO. In addition, MSO will no longer be available once you go on Policy Continuation.

• If a Living Benefits Rider or an accelerated death benefit rider (which may be referred to as a "total and permanent disability accelerated death benefit rider" or a "limited life expectancy
accelerated death benefit rider") is exercised, the portion of the cash surrender value that is on lien and is allocated to your values in the variable investment options under your policy and investment in the MSO will be transferred to and
maintained as part of the Unloaned GIO.

You may tell us how much of the accelerated payment is to be transferred from your value in each variable investment option and your value in the MSO. Units will be redeemed from each variable investment option sufficient to cover the amount of the accelerated payment that is allocated to it and transferred to the Unloaned GIO. <br>

Any portion of the payment allocated to the MSO based on your instructions will be deducted from any value in the MSO Holding Account and the individual Segments on a pro-rata basis, based on any value in the MSO Holding Account and the current Segment Distribution Value of each Segment, and transferred to the Unloaned GIO. <br>

Any portion of the payment allocated to an individual Segment will cause a corresponding Early Distribution Adjustment of the Segment Account Value and forfeit of Index performance. If you do not tell us how to allocate the payment, or if we cannot allocate it based on your directions, we will allocated it based on our rules then in effect. Allocation rules will be provided upon request. Such transfers will occur as of the date we approve an accelerated death benefit payment. There will be no charge for such transfers. <br>

***About Separate Account No. 67***

Amounts allocated to the Equitable Financial Life Insurance Company MSO are held in a "non-unitized" separate account we have established under the New York Insurance Law. We own the assets of the separate account, as well as any favorable investment performance on those assets.

You do not participate in the performance of the assets held in this separate account. We may, subject to state law that applies, transfer all assets allocated to the separate account to our general account. These assets are also available to the insurer's general creditors and an owner should look to the financial strength of the Company for its claims-paying ability. We guarantee all benefits relating to your value in the MSO, regardless of whether assets supporting the MSO are held in a separate account or our general account.

Our current plans are to invest separate account assets in fixed income obligations, including corporate bonds, mortgage backed and asset-backed securities, and government and agency issues. Futures, options and interest rate swaps may be used for hedging purposes.

Although the above generally describes our plans for investing the assets supporting our obligations under MSO, we are not obligated to invest those assets according to any particular plan except as we may be required to by state insurance laws.

***About Separate Account LIO***

Appendix: Early Distribution Adjustment Examples

**Hypothetical Early Distribution Adjustment Examples** 

**A. Examples of Early Distribution Adjustment to determine Segment Distribution Value** 

The following examples represent a policy owner who has invested in both Segments 1 and 2. They are meant to show how much value is available to a policy owner when there is an Early Distribution from these Segments as well as the impact of Early Distribution Adjustments on these Segments. The date of such hypothetical surrender or distribution is the Valuation Date specified below and, on that date, the examples assume 9 months remain until Segment 1's maturity date and 3 months remain until Segment 2's maturity date.

Explanation of formulas and derivation of Put Option Factors is provided in notes (1)-(3) below.

(1) Early Distribution Adjustment = (Segment Account Value) x [ (Put Option Factor) – (Number of days between
Valuation Date and Maturity Date) /(Number of days between Start Date and Maturity Date) x (0.0090 / (1 – 0.0090))].

(2) Segment Distribution Value = (Segment Account Value) – (Early Distribution Adjustment).

(3) Derivation of Put Option Factor: In practice, the Put Option Factor will be calculated based on a Black Scholes model,
with input values which are consistent with current market prices. We will utilize implied volatility quotes – the standard measure used by the market to quote option prices – as an input to a Black Scholes model in order to derive the
estimated market prices. The input values to the Black Scholes model that have been utilized to generate the hypothetical examples above are as follows: (1) Implied volatility – 25%; (2) OIS rate corresponding to remainder of segment
term – 1.09% annually; (3) Index dividend yield – 2% annually.

This example is meant to show the effect on a policy if, rather than a full distribution, you took a loan in the circumstances outlined in Example III above when the Index is down 40%. Thus the policy owner is assumed to have an initial Segment Account Value of 1,000 in each of Segment 1 and Segment 2. It is also assumed that 9 months remain until Segment 1's maturity date and 3 months remain until Segment 2's maturity date.

Loan Amount: 750

Loan Date: 3rd Friday of October, Calendar Year Y

Explanation of formulas is provided in notes (a)-(d) below.

**The Index is down 40% at the time of the Early Distribution Adjustment** 

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Change in Index Value** | **–40%** | **–40%** | **Total** |
|  Segment Account Value before Loan | 1000.00 | 1000.00 | 2000.00 |
|  Loan Allocation<sup>(a)</sup> | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;373.34 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;376.66 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;750.00 |
|  Early Distribution Adjustment<sup>(b)</sup> | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;69.91 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;66.59 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;136.55 |
|  Segment Account Value after Loan<sup>(c)</sup> | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;556.73 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;556.72 | 1113.45 |
|  Segment Distribution Value after Loan<sup>(d)</sup> | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;468.93 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;473.10 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;942.03 |

---

(a) When more than one Segment is being used, we would allocate the loan between the Segments proportionately to the Segment
Distribution Value in each. We take the Segment Distribution Value of each Segment (shown in Example III above) and divide it by the total Segment Distribution Values for Segments 1 and 2. This gives us the proportionate amount of the loan that
should be allocated to each Segment. For example, for Segment 1, that would be 750 x (842.27/1,692.03) = 373.34

***23***

------

(b) This is the Early Distribution Adjustment that would be deducted from each Segment, as a result of the loan, based on the
amount of the loan that is allocated to that Segment. It is equal to a percentage of the Early Distribution Adjustment that would apply if a full distribution from the Segment were being made, rather than only a partial distribution. This percentage
would be 44.32545% for Segment 1 in this example: i.e., 373.34 (the amount of reduction in Segment Distribution Value as a result of the loan) divided by 842.27 (the Segment Distribution Value before the loan). Thus, the Early Distribution
Adjustment that is deducted for Segment 1 due to the loan in this example would be 69.91 (i.e., 44.32545% of the 157.73 Early Distribution adjustment shown in Example III above that would apply if a full rather than only a partial distribution from
the Segment were being made). Of this 69.91, 72.43 would be attributable to the Put Option Component and -2.51 would be attributable to the Charge Refund Component (which are calculated by applying 44.32545%
to the 163.40 Put Option Component and the 5.67 Charge Refund Component shown in Example III). Similarly, the Early Distribution Adjustment deducted as a result of the loan from Segment 2 would be 66.59, of which 67.43 would be attributable to the
Put Option Component and -0.84 would be attributable to the Charge Refund Component.

(c) The Segment Account Value after Loan represents the Segment Account Value before Loan minus the Loan Allocation and the
Early Distribution Adjustment. For example, for Segment 1, that would be 1,000 – 373.34 – 69.93 = 556.73.

(d) Segment Distribution Value after Loan represents the amount a policy owner would receive from a Segment if they decided to
surrender their policy immediately after this loan transaction. We would take the pre-loan Segment Distribution Value (shown in Example III above) and subtract the Loan Allocation. For example, for Segment 1,
that would be 842.27 – 373.34 = 468.93.]

| **ITEM 17.** | **UNDERTAKINGS**  |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this
registration statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to include any prospectus required by section 10 (a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement
(or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in
volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 (b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee"
table in the effective registration statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a) (1) (i), (a) (1) (ii) and (a) (1) (iii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15 (d) of the Securities Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 (b) that is part of this Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective
amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which
remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424 (b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part
of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document
incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any
statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the Registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any
purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned Registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used
to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell
such securities to such purchaser: (i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering
prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned Registrant; (iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned
Registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Registrant; and (iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Registrant to the purchaser.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

------

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized in the City and State of New York, on this 13th day of February, 2026.
