**NOTICE OF FUND SUBSTITUTION**

The purpose of this Supplement is to announce various fund changes. Capitalized terms used in this Supplement are defined in your Prospectus unless otherwise defined here. "We," "Us," or "Our" refer to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or C.M. Life Insurance Company depending on where Your policy was issued. "You" or "Your" refer to the Owner of the policy.

At the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on or about November 14, 2025 (the "Substitution Date"), in accordance with applicable law, shares of the following Existing Funds will be replaced with shares of the following Replacement Funds (the "Substitutions"), set forth in the table below:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Existing Fund (Share Class)** | **Replacement Fund (Share Class)** |
| Invesco V.I. Discovery Large Cap Fund (Series I) | MML Invesco Discovery Large Cap Fund (Class II) |
| Invesco V.I. Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund (Series I) | MML Invesco Discovery Mid Cap Fund (Class II) |
| Invesco V.I. Global Fund (Series I) | MML Global Fund (Class II) |

**Transfer of Account Value from the Existing Fund**

On the Substitution Date, all account value in any division investing in an Existing Fund will automatically be reallocated to the division investing in the corresponding Replacement Fund. Such reallocation will not count toward transfer limits imposed by Our frequent trading and market timing policies. After the Substitution Date, You may not make any allocations to the division investing in an Existing Fund, and such divisions will no longer be available for investment under the policy.

The Substitutions will occur at the relative net asset values of the Existing Funds' and Replacement Funds' shares. Your account value immediately prior to the Substitutions will equal Your account value immediately after the Substitutions. There will not be any tax consequences for You as a result of the Substitutions. The Substitutions will be performed at no cost to You. The fees and charges under Your policy will not increase as a result of the Substitutions. The overall fees and expenses of each Replacement Fund are equal to or less than those of the corresponding Existing Fund. Your rights and Our obligations will not be altered in any way.

If Your account value is automatically transferred on the Substitution Date, You will receive a confirmation showing the transfer of Your account value from each division that invests in an Existing Fund to the division that invests in the corresponding Replacement Fund.

<sup>1</sup> While the T. Rowe Price Mid-Cap Growth Portfolio was not available as an investment choice for policies issued on or after May 1, 2004, the MML Mid Cap Growth Fund is available as an investment choice for all policies.

**Impact on Transaction Requests**

The divisions that invest in the Existing Funds will continue to be available for premium payments, allocation elections, transfers, loans, and withdrawals until the close of the NYSE on the Substitution Date. Any premium payment, allocation election, transfer, loan, or withdrawal request involving a division that invests in an Existing Fund on or after the Substitution Date will default to the division that invests in the corresponding Replacement Fund.

**Impact on Future Premium Payment Allocations**

On the Substitution Date, each Replacement Fund will automatically replace the corresponding Existing Fund under Your premium payment allocation instructions.

If You do not wish to have Your future premium payments allocated to any of the Replacement Funds, You must send a request in good order to Our Administrative Office to change Your premium payment allocation instructions.

**Impact on Automatic Programs**

On the Substitution Date, the Replacement Funds will automatically replace the corresponding Existing Funds in all of the following automatic programs for which an Existing Fund has been selected as an investment option:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Portfolio
 Rebalancing Program\*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dollar
 Cost Averaging Program\*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Directed
 Monthly Deduction Program\*\*

You may change Your automatic program elections by submitting a request in good order to Our Administrative Office.

***\**** *If You currently transfer account value from a division that invests in an Existing Fund to a division that invests in the corresponding Replacement Fund (or vice versa) as part of Your Portfolio Rebalancing Program or Dollar Cost Averaging Program, Your program may terminate effective as of the Substitution Date unless You change the investment choices used in that program prior to that date.*

 ****

*\*\*Not available with VUL Guard.*

 

**Transfer Rights**

On the Substitution Date, any account value remaining in a division that invests in an Existing Fund will be automatically reallocated to the division that invests in the corresponding Replacement Fund.

You may transfer Your account value allocated to a division that invests in an Existing Fund to any other division available under Your policy.

From the date of this Supplement to the Substitution Date, and for 30 calendar days after the Substitution Date, such transfers will not count as a transfer for purposes of any limitation on the number of transfers permitted under Your policy or transfer limits imposed by Our frequent trading and market timing policies. We do not charge a transfer fee for such transfers.

From the date of this Supplement to the Substitution Date, and for 30 calendar days after the Substitution Date, We will not exercise any rights reserved under the policy to impose additional restrictions on transfers between divisions.
