PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
CONTRACTS OFFERED
The two Contracts described in this prospectus are group, deferred, variable
annuity contracts. One allows lump-sum payments and the other allows
installment payments. The Contracts are designed to allow the accumulation of
assets and to provide retirement benefits under retirement plans under Section
403(b) of the Code by school boards and public universities in the state of New
York for Participants who are members of UUP. See "Contract Rights" and
"Miscellaneous -- Agreement Between United University Professions (UUP) and the
Company."
The Contracts are available to Plans that include a variable annuity contract
alone or in conjunction with retail mutual funds for which Systematized
Benefits Administrators, Inc. ("SBA") a subsidiary of the Company, has agreed
to perform recordkeeping services and to provide consolidated statements. SBA
may receive compensation for these services, but such compensation will
generally not be charged to the Separate Account nor be deducted from a
Participant's Individual Account under the Contract.
PURCHASE
The Contracts may be purchased by eligible organizations on behalf of a group
made up of their employees. Eligible employees may participate in the Contract
by completing an enrollment form (and any other required forms) and submitting
it to our Opportunity Plus Processing Office with an initial Purchase Payment.
Purchase Payments are made by salary reduction or by lump sum payments from an
eligible, existing plan. See "Purchase of Contract."
REDEMPTION
You may redeem all or a portion of your Individual Account Value during the
Accumulation Period; however, the Code restricts full and partial withdrawals
in certain circumstances. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to a deferred sales
charge. The maximum deferred sales charge that could be assessed on a full or
partial withdrawal is 5% of the amount withdrawn. See "Deductions and

A 10% federal tax penalty and a 20% withholding for income tax may also be
imposed on certain withdrawals. See "Tax Status -- Tax Status of Amounts
Distributed."
CONTRACT CHARGES
Certain charges are associated with these Contracts, for example, mortality and
expense risk charges, administrative expense charges and maintenance fees. The
Funds are also subject to certain fees and expenses. See "Deductions and
Charges" for a complete explanation of these charges.

(/1/) Certain of the unaffiliated Fund advisers reimburse us for administrative
costs incurred in connection with administering the Funds as variable
funding options. These reimbursements are paid out of the advisers'
investment advisory fees and are not charged to investors.
(/2/) A mutual fund's "Other Expenses" include operating costs of the Fund. The
deductions of the above expenses are reflected in the Fund's net asset
value -- not deducted from the Contract Holder's or your Individual
Account Value.
(/3/) This Fund has only limited operating history, and therefore the expenses
are estimated for the current fiscal year.
(/4/) The investment adviser for the Franklin Government Securities Trust has
agreed to reduce the investment advisory fee and to reimburse the Fund for
certain expenses. Without this agreement, the Advisory Fee would be
0.472%, the Other Expenses would be 0.63% and Total Annual Expenses for
the Franklin Government Securities Trust would be 0.78%.
(/5/) The expense figures shown are net of certain expense waivers from Janus
Capital Corporation. Without such waivers, Investment Advisory Fees, Other
Expenses and Total Mutual Fund Annual Expenses for the Portfolios for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994 were: 1.00%, 0.28% and 1.28%,
respectively, for Janus Aspen Aggressive Growth Portfolio; 1.00%, 0.22%
and 1.22%, respectively, for Janus Aspen Growth Portfolio; 0.65%, 0.75%
and 1.40%, respectively, for Short-Term Bond Portfolio; and 1.00%, 0.49%
and 1.49%, respectively, for Janus Aspen Worldwide Growth Portfolio.
(/6/) The Fund's Adviser has agreed to reimburse the fund so that the total
expenses of the fund (excluding taxes, brokerage, and extraordinary
expenses) will not exceed an annual rate of 1.30% of the fund's average
net assets. Without this agreement, it is estimated that the fund's
Investment Advisory Fee, Total Other Expenses and Total Mutual Fund Annual
Expenses would have been .85%, 5.43% and 6.28%, respectively.
(/7/) Until May 1, 1995, the Portfolio had a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule
12b-1 which provided for the reimbursement by Neuberger & Berman
Management of certain distribution expenses, up to a maximum of 0.25% on
an annual basis of the Portfolio's average daily net assets. The "Total
Annual Expenses" shown above would be increased by 0.02% if the 12b-1 fees
for the months of January through April, 1995 were taken into account.
(/8/) Certain other expenses are borne by TCI Growth's investment adviser and
are reflected in the management fee.

PERFORMANCE DATA
From time to time, performance data for the various investment options under
the Contracts may be advertised by us. Such data will show the percentage
change in the value of an Accumulation Unit based on the performance of a
variable option over a period of time, usually a calendar year. It is
determined by dividing the increase (decrease) in value for that unit by the
Accumulation Unit value at the beginning of the period. This percentage figure
will reflect the deduction of the maintenance fee and any asset based charges
under the Contracts but will not reflect the deduction of any applicable
deferred sales charge. The deduction of any applicable deferred sales charge
would reduce any percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.
For Funds that were in existence prior to the date that the Fund became
available under the Contract, the performance data will show the investment
performance that such Fund would have achieved (reduced by the applicable
charges) had it been available under the Contract for the period quoted.
Sales literature which compares the percentage change in Accumulation Unit
values for any of the Funds against established market indexes such as the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average or to
the percentage change in values of other management investment companies which
have investment objectives similar to the Fund being compared may be
distributed by us.
Any advertisement will also include total return figures calculated as
described in the Statement of Additional Information. The total return figures
do reflect the deduction of any applicable maintenance fees and deferred sales
charge, as well as any asset based charges.
We may publish in advertisements and reports to Contract Holders and
Participants, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more
independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor's
and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect
the financial strength and/or claims-paying ability of the Company. We may also
quote ranking services, such as Morningstar's Annuity/Life Performance Report,
and Lipper's Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service (VIPPAS),
which rank variable annuity or life subaccounts by performance and/or
investment objective. From time to time, we will quote articles from newspapers
and magazines or other publications or reports, including, but not limited to
The Wall Street Journal, Money magazine, USA Today and The VARDS Report.

THE COMPANY
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company is a stock life insurance company
organized in 1976 under the insurance laws of Connecticut; it is the depositor
for Variable Annuity Account C. As of December 31, 1994, the Company managed
over $19.9 billion of assets. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of Aetna Life and
Casualty Company which, with its subsidiaries, constitutes one of the nation's
largest diversified financial services organizations. The Company's Home Office
is located at 151 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, Connecticut 06156.
VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT C
Variable Annuity Account C is a separate account established by us in 1976
pursuant to the insurance laws of the state of Connecticut. The Separate
Account was formed for the purpose of segregating assets attributable to the
variable portions of Contracts from the Company's other assets. The Separate
Account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company
Act of 1940.
Although the Company holds title to the assets of the Separate Account, such
assets are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we
may conduct. Income, gains or losses of the Separate Account are credited to or
charged against the assets of the Separate Account without regard to our other
income, gains or losses. All obligations arising under the Contracts are our
general corporate obligations.
THE FUNDS
The Contract Holder will designate some or all of the mutual funds described
below as variable funding options under the Contract. You may select one or
more of the Funds for investment of your Purchase Payments. Except where noted,
all of the Funds are diversified as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940.
. Aetna Variable Fund (sometimes called the "Growth and Income Fund") seeks
to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio
of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock.
. Aetna Income Shares (sometimes called the "Bond Fund") seeks to maximize
total return, consistent with reasonable risk, through investments in a
diversified portfolio consisting primarily of debt securities.
. Aetna Variable Encore Fund (sometimes called the "Money Market Fund")
seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of
capital and liquidity, through investment in high-quality money market
instruments. An investment in the Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed
by the U.S. Government.
. Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc. (sometimes called the "Managed
Fund") seeks to maximize investment return consistent with reasonable
safety of principal by investing in one or more of the following asset
classes: stocks, bonds and cash equivalents, based on the Company's
judgment of which of those sectors or mix thereof offers the best
investment prospects.
. Alger American Fund--Alger American Growth Portfolio ("Alger American
Growth Portfolio")* seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing in
a diversified, actively managed portfolio of equity securities, primarily
of companies with total market capitalization -- present market value per
share multiplied by the total number of shares outstanding -- of $1
billion or greater. Income is a consideration in the selection of
investments but is not an investment objective.
. Alger American Fund--Alger American Small Capitalization Portfolio
("Alger American Small Cap Portfolio") seeks capital return through
investment in the common stock of smaller companies offering the
potential for significant price gain. It invests at least 85% of its net
assets in equity
12
<PAGE>
securities and at least 65% of its net assets in equity securities of
companies that, at the time of purchase, have "total market
capitalization" -- present market value per share multiplied by the total
number of shares outstanding -- of less than $1 billion. Investing in
smaller companies may present risks not present in investments in larger
companies. See the fund's prospectus for a discussion of these risks.
. Calvert Socially Responsible Series is a nondiversified portfolio that
seeks growth of capital through investment in enterprises that make a
significant contribution to society through their products and services
and through the way they do business.
. Fidelity Investments Variable Insurance Products Fund II--Asset Manager
Portfolio (Fidelity Asset Manager Portfolio) seeks high total return with
reduced risk over the long-term by allocating its assets among stocks,
bonds and short-term fixed-income instruments.
. Fidelity Investments Variable Insurance Products Fund II--Contrafund
Portfolio ("Fidelity Contrafund Portfolio")* seeks maximum total return
over the long term by investing its assets mainly in equity securities of
companies that are undervalued or out-of-favor.
. Fidelity Investments Variable Insurance Products Fund--Equity-Income
Portfolio ("Fidelity Equity-Income Portfolio")* seeks reasonable income
by investing primarily in income-producing equity securities. In choosing
these securities, the Fund will also consider the potential for capital
appreciation.
. Fidelity Investments Variable Insurance Products Fund II--Index 500
Portfolio ("Fidelity Index 500 Portfolio")* seeks to provide investment
results that correspond to the total return of common stocks publicly
traded in the United States by duplicating the composition and total
return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index.
. Franklin Government Securities Trust seeks income through investments in
obligations of the U. S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities,
primarily GNMA obligations.
. Janus Aspen Series--Aggressive Growth Portfolio ("Janus Aspen Aggressive
Growth Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital by emphasizing
investments in common stocks of companies with a market capitalization
between $1 billion and $5 billion.
. Janus Aspen Series--Growth Portfolio ("Janus Aspen Growth Portfolio")*
seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in a
diversified portfolio of common stocks of a large number of issuers of
any size. The Portfolio generally emphasizes issuers with large market
capitalizations.
. Janus Aspen Series--Short-Term Bond Portfolio ("Janus Aspen Short-Term
Bond Portfolio")* seeks as high a level of current income as is
consistent with preservation of capital by investing primarily in short-
and intermediate-term fixed income securities. The Portfolio will
normally maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of less
than three years, but not to exceed five years depending upon its
portfolio manager's opinion of prevailing market, financial and economic
conditions.
. Janus Aspen Series--Worldwide Growth Portfolio ("Janus Aspen Worldwide
Growth Portfolio")* seeks long-term growth of capital by investing
primarily in common stocks of companies of foreign and domestic issuers
of any size. The portfolio normally invests in issuers from at least five
different countries including the United States. International
investments involve risks not present in U.S. Securities.
. Lexington Emerging Markets Fund, Inc. seeks long-term growth of capital
primarily through investment in equity securities of companies domiciled
in, or doing business in emerging countries and emerging markets.
Investments in emerging markets involve risks not present in domestic
markets. See the Fund's prospectus for information on risks inherent in
this investment.
. Lexington Natural Resources Trust is a nondiversified portfolio that
seeks long-term growth of capital through investment primarily in common
stocks of companies which own or develop
13
<PAGE>
natural resources and other basic commodities or supply goods and services
to such companies. Current income will not be a factor. Total return will
consist primarily of capital appreciation. The fund may invest up to 25%
of its total assets in foreign securities. Foreign investing involves
risks that differ from those involved in domestic investing. See the
fund's prospectus for a discussion of these risks.
. Neuberger & Berman Advisers Management Trust--Growth Portfolio
("Neuberger & Berman Growth Portfolio") seeks capital growth through
investments in common stocks of companies that the investment adviser
believes will have above-average earnings or otherwise provide investors
with above-average potential for capital appreciation.
. Scudder Variable Life Investment Fund--International Portfolio ("Scudder
International Portfolio") seeks long-term growth of capital primarily
through diversified holdings of marketable foreign equity investments.
Investing in foreign securities may involve a greater degree of risk than
investing in domestic securities. See the fund's prospectus for a
discussion of the risks involved.
. TCI Portfolios, Inc.--TCI Growth (a Twentieth Century Fund) ("TCI
Growth") seeks capital growth by investing in common stocks (including
securities convertible into common stocks) and other securities that meet
certain fundamental and technical standards of selection and, in the
opinion of TCI Growth's management, have better than average potential
for appreciation. TCI Growth tries to stay fully invested in such
securities, regardless of the movement of prices generally. The fund may
invest in foreign securities. Foreign investing involves risks that
differ from those involved in domestic investing. See the fund's
prospectus for a discussion of these risks.
* These Funds will be available on May 1, 1995 or as soon after that date as
the Company receives the appropriate regulatory authorizations.
There is no assurance that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives.
Participants bear the full investment risk of investments in the Funds
selected.
Additionally, some of the Funds may invest in instruments known as derivatives.
Certain derivatives create a higher risk of volatility in certain markets. More
comprehensive information, including a discussion of potential risks, is found
in the current prospectus for each Fund which is distributed with and must
accompany this Prospectus. Contract Holders and Participants should read the
accompanying prospectuses carefully before investing. Additional prospectuses
and the Statements of Additional Information for this Prospectus and each of
the Funds can be obtained from the Company's Home Office at the address and
telephone number listed on the cover of this Prospectus.

MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING
Shares of all the Funds are sold to us for funding variable annuity contracts.
The Funds may be sold to other companies for the same purpose. This is referred
to as "shared funding." Shares of the Funds may also be used for funding
variable life insurance policies through variable life separate accounts
sponsored by us or by third parties. This is referred to as "mixed funding."
It is conceivable that, in the future, it may be disadvantageous for variable
annuity separate accounts and variable life separate accounts of the same or of
an unaffiliated insurance company to invest in these Funds simultaneously,
since the interests of the contract holders or policy owners or insurance
companies may differ. Each Fund's Board of Trustees or Directors has agreed to
monitor events in order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts which
may possibly arise and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in
response thereto. If such a conflict were to occur, one of the separate
accounts might withdraw its investment in a Fund. This might force that Fund to
sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous prices.

OPPORTUNITY PLUS PROCESSING OFFICE
We have established the Opportunity Plus Processing Office to provide
administrative support to Participants of the Opportunity Plus program. This
office will handle enrollments, billing, transfers, redemptions and inquiries
for all Opportunity Plus Participants. All forms and correspondence should be
sent to:
Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company
Opportunity Plus Processing Office
P. O. Box 12894
Albany, New York 12212-2894
Telephone number: 1-800-677-4636
PURCHASE OF CONTRACT
PURCHASE
Two group Contracts may be issued to each school board to cover all present
and future Participants. Contracts are issued in allocated form which provides
for the establishment of an Individual Account for each Participant. Single
Purchase Payment Contracts are issued for lump-sum transfers to us of amounts
accumulated under a pre-existing Plan. Installment Purchase Payment Contracts
are established to accept continuing periodic payments. We reserve the right
to set a minimum Purchase Payment on single Purchase Payment Contracts. Lump-
sum transfers below this minimum will be applied to an installment Purchase
Payment Contract. Once a Contract is issued, Participants may establish an In-
dividual Account by filling out an enrollment form.
The Contract application form, completed by the prospective Contract Holder,
is forwarded, together with the initial Purchase Payment, if any, to the
Opportunity Plus Processing Office, 18 Corporate Woods Boulevard, Fourth
Floor, Albany, NY 12211 for review, acceptance or rejection. You may establish
an Individual Account by completing an enrollment form (and any other required
forms) and forwarding it to the Opportunity Plus Processing Office. The
Company must accept or reject an application or enrollment form within two
business days of its receipt. If the application or enrollment form is
incomplete, the Opportunity Plus Processing Office may hold it and any
accompanying Purchase Payment for five days. Purchase Payments may be held for
longer periods only with the consent of the Contract Holder or you, pending
acceptance of the application or enrollment form. Initial payments held for
longer than the five business days will be deposited in the Aetna Variable
Encore Fund until the forms are completed. If the application is accepted, a
Contract will be issued to the Contract Holder. Any Purchase Payment
accompanying the application or enrollment form or received prior to
acceptance of the application, will be invested as of the date of acceptance.
If the application or enrollment form is rejected, the application and any
Purchase Payments will be returned to the Contract Holder.
The Code imposes a maximum limit on annual Purchase Payments that may be
excluded from your gross income. Such limit must be calculated in accordance
with Sections 403(b), 415 and 402(g) of the Code. In addition, Purchase
Payments will be excluded from your gross income only if the 403(b) Plan meets
certain Code nondiscrimination requirements.
NET PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Each Purchase Payment is forwarded to the Opportunity Plus Processing Office
and, to the extent it is to be accumulated on a variable basis, is placed in
the Separate Account and credited to the Contract.
You may elect to have the Net Purchase Payment(s) accumulate (a) on a variable
basis by allocation to one or more of the available Funds; (b) on a fixed
basis under GAA or the Fixed Account; or (c) in a
16
<PAGE>
combination of any of the available investment options. The Net Purchase
Payment(s) must be allocated to the respective options in increments of whole
percentage amounts.
Under an installment Purchase Payment Contract, you may elect to change the
allocation of future Net Purchase Payments to any accumulation option
described above.
DISTRIBUTION
The Company will serve as Underwriter for the securities sold by this
Prospectus. The Company is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities
and Exchange Commission and is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD). As Underwriter, the Company will contract
with one or more registered broker-dealers ("Distributors") to offer and sell
the Contracts. The Company and one or more affiliates may also sell the
Contracts directly. All registered representatives of the Distributors must
also be licensed as insurance agents to sell Variable Annuity Contracts.
DETERMINING CONTRACT VALUE
ACCUMULATION UNITS
A Purchase Payment that is directed to one or more of the Funds is deposited
in the Separate Account and credited to the Individual Account in the form of
Accumulation Units for each Fund selected. The number of Accumulation Units
credited is determined by dividing the applicable portion of the Purchase
Payment by that Contract's Accumulation Unit value of the appropriate Fund.
The Accumulation Unit value used is that next-computed following the date on
which a Purchase Payment is received, unless the application has not been
accepted. In that event, Purchase Payments will be credited at the
Accumulation Unit Value next determined after acceptance of the application.
Shares of the Funds are purchased by the Separate Account at the net asset
value next determined by the Fund following receipt of Purchase Payments by
the Separate Account. The value of Accumulation Units attributable to the
Funds will be affected by the investment performance, expenses and charges of
those Funds.
Accumulation Units are valued separately for each Fund. Therefore, if you
elect to have a Purchase Payment invested in a combination of Funds, you will
have Accumulation Units credited from more than one source. The value of your
Individual Account as of the most recent Valuation Period, is determined by
adding the value of any Accumulation Units attributed to the Fund(s) you have
selected to the value of any amounts invested in a credited interest option.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR
The value of an Accumulation Unit for any Valuation Period is calculated by
multiplying the Accumulation Unit value for the immediately preceding Valua-
tion Period by the net investment factor of the appropriate investment option
for the current period.
The net investment factor is calculated separately for each Fund in which
assets of Account C are invested. It is determined by adding 1.0000000 to the
net investment rate.
The net investment rate equals (a) the net assets of the Fund held by Account
C at the end of a Valuation Period, minus (b) the net assets of the Fund held
by Account C at the beginning of a Valuation Period, plus or minus (c) taxes
or provision for taxes, if any, attributable to the operation of Account C,
divided by (d) the value of the Fund's Accumulation and Annuity Units held by
Account C at the beginning of the Valuation Period, minus (e) a daily charge
at an annual rate of 1.25% for the Annuity mortality and expense risks, and a
daily administrative expense charge which will not exceed 0.25% (zero through
April 30, 1996) on an annual basis. The net investment rate may be more or
less than zero.

CONTRACT RIGHTS
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may cancel your participation under the Contract no later than ten days
after receiving the certificate (or as otherwise allowed by state law) by re-
turning it, along with a written notice of cancellation, to the Opportunity
Plus Processing Office. The Opportunity Plus Processing Office will produce a
refund not later than seven days after it receives the certificate and the
written notice. Unless the applicable state law requires a refund of Purchase
Payment(s) only, we will refund the Purchase Payment(s) plus any increase or
minus any decrease in the value attributable to any Purchase Payment(s) allo-
cated to the variable option(s).
RIGHTS UNDER THE CONTRACT
The Contract Holder has no right or interest in the amounts held under the
Contracts or Individual Accounts. The Contracts and Individual Accounts are
not subject to the claims of any creditors of the Contract Holder. You may
make all elections under the Contracts.
ALLOCATION CHANGES AND TRANSFERS
During each calendar year, you may change the allocation of future Net
Purchase Payments among the allowable investment options. Unlimited allocation
changes are allowed.
We also allow unlimited transfers without charge of accumulated values to
available investment options during the Accumulation Period. Transfers of not
less than $500 may be made among the available Funds or from any of the Funds
to a credited interest option. Any transfer will be based on the Accumulation
Unit value next determined after we receive a valid request at our Home
Office. See Appendices I and II for information on transfers from GAA and the
Fixed Account.
During the Annuity Period, no transfers of accumulated value are allowed.
WITHDRAWALS
You may withdraw all or a portion of the Individual Account value during the
Accumulation Period. To do so, you must properly complete a disbursement form
and send it to the Processing Office. Disbursement forms are available from
the Opportunity Plus Processing Office. Withdrawals may be requested in one of
the following ways:
. Full withdrawal of an Individual Account: The amount paid will be the
full value of the Individual Account minus any applicable deferred sales
charge and maintenance fee due.*
. Partial withdrawal (percentage): The amount paid will be the percentage
of the Individual Account value requested minus any applicable deferred
sales charge.*
. Partial withdrawal (specific dollar amount): The amount paid will be the
dollar amount requested. However, the amount withdrawn from the
Individual Account will equal the dollar amount requested plus any
applicable deferred sales charge.*
* An income tax of 20% may be withheld from amounts paid directly to you. See
"Tax Status of Amounts Distributed."
All amounts paid will be based on Individual Account values as of the end of
the Valuation Period in which the request is received in the Opportunity Plus
Processing Office or such later date as the disbursement form may specify. For
any partial withdrawal, unless requested otherwise by you, the value of the
Accumulation Units cancelled will be withdrawn proportionately from each
investment option used under the Individual Account.
18
<PAGE>
Payments for withdrawal requests will be made in accordance with SEC
requirements, but normally not later than seven calendar days after a properly
completed disbursement form is received at the Opportunity Plus Processing
Office or within seven calendar days of the date the disbursement form may
specify. Payments may be delayed for: (a) any period in which the New York
Stock Exchange ("Exchange") is closed (other than customary weekend and holiday
closings) or in which trading on the Exchange is restricted; (b) any period in
which an emergency exists where disposal of securities held by the funds is not
reasonably practicable or is not reasonably practicable for the value of the
assets of the Funds to be fairly determined; or (c) such other periods as the
SEC may by order permit for the protection of you and the Contract Holder. The
conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency exists shall be
determined by the rules and regulations of the SEC.
WITHDRAWAL RESTRICTIONS
The Code imposes restrictions on full or partial withdrawals from 403(b)
Individual Accounts attributable to Purchase Payments made on or after January
1, 1989 under a salary reduction agreement, and to any earnings on the entire
403(b) Individual Account credited on and after January 1, 1989. Withdrawals of
these amounts are allowed only if you (a) have died, (b) have become disabled,
as defined in the Code, (c) have attained age 59 1/2, or (d) have separated
from service. Withdrawals are also allowed if you can show "hardship," as
defined by the IRS, but the withdrawal is limited to the lesser of Purchase
Payments attributable to your salary reduction contributions made on or after
January 1, 1989 or the amount necessary to relieve the hardship. Even if a
withdrawal is permitted under these provisions, a 10% federal penalty tax may
be assessed on the amount paid to you if it does not otherwise meet the
exceptions to the penalty tax provisions (see "Tax Status of Amounts
Distributed"). The Contract Holder must certify in writing that one of these
conditions has been met before a payment will be made.
You may request a full or partial withdrawal of an amount equal to the
Individual Account cash value as of December 31, 1988 (the "grandfathered"
amount), subject to the terms of the 403(b) Plan. Although the Code withdrawal
restrictions do not apply to this amount, a 10% federal penalty tax may be
assessed on the amount paid to you if it does not otherwise meet the exceptions
to the penalty tax provisions (see "Tax Status of Amounts Distributed").
We believe that the Code withdrawal restrictions do not apply to tax-free
transfers pursuant to Revenue Ruling 90-24. We further believe that the
withdrawal restrictions will not apply to any "grandfathered" amount which is
transferred pursuant to Revenue Ruling 90-24 into another 403(b) Contract.
Revenue Ruling 90-24 provides that a direct transfer from one 403(b) investment
to another 403(b) investment is not a distribution and is not taxable if, after
the transfer, the transferred funds continue to be subject to the same or more
stringent distribution requirements.
REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE
You may elect to reinvest all or a portion of the proceeds received from the
full withdrawal of an Individual Account within 30 days after such withdrawal.
Accumulation Units will be credited to the Individual Account for the amount
reinvested, as well as any applicable maintenance fee and any applicable
portion of any deferred sales charge imposed at the time of withdrawal. Any
maintenance fee which falls due after the withdrawal and before the
reinvestment will be deducted from the amount reinvested. Reinvested amounts
will be reallocated to the applicable investment options in the same proportion
as they were allocated at the time of withdrawal.
The number of Accumulation Units credited will be based upon the Accumulation
Unit value(s) next computed after the Opportunity Plus Processing Office
receives the reinvestment request along with the amount to be reinvested. The
reinvestment privilege may be used only once. If you are contemplating
reinvestment, you should seek competent advice regarding the tax consequences
associated with such a transaction.
19
<PAGE>
CONTRACT LOANS
During the Accumulation Period, you may request a loan in lieu of a partial
withdrawal. To do this, you must properly complete a loan request form
provided by the Opportunity Plus Processing Office and submit it to the
Processing Office. A loan may not be requested within 12 months from the date
of any prior loan request. If the loan meets the requirements described below,
it will not be reported to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") by the Company
as a taxable distribution.
Loans can be made only from Individual Account values held in the variable or
credited interest options that allow loans (see "Appendix I" and "Appendix
II"). However, the entire Contract value may be used to determine the value
against which a loan may be made.
We do not permit Participants to receive Systematic Withdrawal Option ("SWO")
payments while they have outstanding loan balances; therefore, if you borrow
while receiving payments under SWO, we will automatically cancel future SWO
payments. (See "Additional Withdrawal Options.")
The loan amount must be at least $3,500 with a minimum Individual Account
value of $5,000. The loan amount may not exceed the lesser of: (a) 50% of the
Individual Account value reduced by any outstanding loan balance on the date
on which the loan is made, or (b) $50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding
balance of loans within the preceding 12 months ending on the day before the
current loan is made. However, if your Individual Account value is between
$5,000 and $20,000, the loan maximum is the lesser of (a) 75% of the
Individual Account value or (b) $10,000.
When a loan is made, the number of Accumulation Units equal to the loan amount
will be withdrawn from the Individual Account. The amount will be withdrawn on
a pro rata basis from the allowable investment options under which values are
accumulating. Accumulation Units taken from the Individual Account to provide
a loan do not participate in the investment experience of the investment
options from which they were withdrawn.
Loan interest payable to us will accrue from day to day at the rate of 1%
annually unless a higher rate is required by law. Principal and interest will
be amortized over a five-year term. However, loans taken for the acquisition
of your principal residence may be amortized over a period of 1 to 20 whole
years, as you elect, but the projected final repayment can be no later than
the end of the calendar year in which you attain age 70. Whether or not the
loan has been used to acquire a principal residence, interest paid on this
loan is "personal interest" as defined in Code Section 163 and is not tax
deductible.
A bill in the amount of the quarterly principal and interest repayments will
be mailed to you in advance of the repayment due date. The initial repayment
due date will be three months from the loan date. The loan date will be the
date the Opportunity Plus Processing Office receives the loan request form in
good order. Payment is due within 30 calendar days after the due date.
Subsequent quarterly installments are based on the first due date. The
repayment will be in default if it is not received by the Opportunity Plus
Processing Office before the end of the month in which the due date falls.
If a quarterly repayment is in default, a partial withdrawal equal to the
quarterly amount of principal and interest due, and deferred sales charge, if
applicable, will be made from the Individual Account. In addition, this amount
may be subject to the 10% federal penalty tax. (See "Tax Status of Amounts
Distributed.") The date of any withdrawal due to nonpayment of a billed
quarterly installment will be the first business day following the last day of
the month in which repayment was due.
When repayment of principal is made, Accumulation Units will be reallocated on
a current basis among the same investment options and in the same proportion
as when the loan was initially made.
If a repayment in excess of a billed amount is received, the excess will be
applied towards the principal portion of the outstanding loan. Payments
received which are less than the billed amount will be returned to you,
therefore, the repayment will be in default and the above will apply.
20
<PAGE>
We may require that all outstanding loans be paid if the Individual Account
value falls below an amount equal to 25% of total loans outstanding.
Prepayment of the entire loan is allowed. At the time of prepayment, we will
bill you for any accrued interest. We will consider the loan paid when this
accrued interest is paid.
If the Individual Account is withdrawn with an outstanding loan balance,
accrued interest and any applicable deferred sales charge will be deducted from
the amount paid to you. If there is an outstanding loan balance, upon
withdrawal of the Individual Account due to your death or the election of an
Annuity option, accrued interest will be deducted from the amount paid to the
beneficiary or annuitant.
The Code requires the aggregation of all loans made to an individual employee
under a single employer-sponsored 403(b) Plan. However, since we have no
information concerning the outstanding loans that you may have with other
companies, we will use only the information available under contracts issued by
us.
DEDUCTIONS AND CHARGES
MAINTENANCE FEE
A $15 annual maintenance fee is deducted from each Individual Account under an
installment Purchase Payment Contract during the Accumulation Period. One
fourth of this fee ($3.75) is deducted during the first month after the end of
each calendar quarter. We deduct this fee from each investment option in the
same proportion as the values held under each option have to the total value of
the Individual or Plan Account. This fee is to reimburse us for some of our
administrative expenses relating to the establishment and maintenance of the
Individual Account(s).
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES
We make a daily deduction from the variable portion of Contract values for
mortality and expense risks. The deduction, made as part of the calculation of
Accumulation and Annuity Unit value(s), is equivalent to 1.25% per year. The
mortality risk charge is to compensate us for the risk we assume when we
promise to continue making payments to individual Annuitants for their
lifetimes according to Annuity rates specified in the Contract at issue. The
expense risk charge is to compensate us for the risk that actual expenses for
costs incurred under the Contract will exceed the maximum costs that can be
charged under the Contract. For 1994, we received $59,320,898 for mortality and
expense risks from Contracts funded through Account C.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
We reserve the right to deduct a daily charge of not more than 0.25% per year
from the variable portion of Contract values to reimburse us for some of the
expenses we incur by administering the Contract. This charge will be
established by us on an annual basis effective each May 1 and continue until
April 30 of the following year. During the Accumulation Period, the charge may
fluctuate annually. Once an Annuity option is elected the charge will be
established and will be effective during the Annuity Period.
Through April 30, 1996, we have established the charge to be zero. Since the
administrative expense charge is a percentage of the variable portion of
Contract values, there may be no relationship between the amount so deducted
and the amount of expenses attributable to the Contract.
FUND EXPENSES
Each Fund has an investment adviser. An investment advisory fee, based on the
Fund's average net assets, is deducted from the assets of each Fund and paid to
the investment adviser.
21
<PAGE>
Most expenses incurred in the operations of each Fund are borne by that Fund.
Fund advisers may reimburse the Funds they advise for some or all of these
expenses. For further details on each Fund's expenses, Contract Holders and
Participants should read the accompanying prospectus for each Fund and refer
to the Fee Table in this Prospectus.
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
There are no deductions from Purchase Payment(s) for sales or administrative
expenses and no deferred sales charge deduction(s) from amounts withdrawn from
a single Purchase Payment Contract.
However, if all or any portion of an Individual Account value is withdrawn
during the Accumulation Period from an installment Purchase Payment Contract,
a percentage of the amount withdrawn may be deducted from that amount for a
deferred sales charge, so that we may recover sales and administration-related
expenses. In addition, if the nonlifetime Annuity option is elected on a
variable basis and the remaining value is withdrawn before three years of
Annuity payments have been completed, the applicable deferred sales charge
will be assessed. (See "Annuity Options.") For a further explanation of a
deferred sales charge calculation, see "Withdrawals."
The following table reflects the deferred sales charge deduction as a
percentage of the amount withdrawn:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
PURCHASE PAYMENT DEFERRED SALES
PERIODS COMPLETED CHARGE DEDUCTION
----------------- ----------------
<S> <C>
Less than 5 5%
5 or more but less than 7 4%
7 or more but less than 9 3%
9 or 10 2%
More than 10 0%
</TABLE>
The deduction for the deferred sales charge will not exceed 8.5% of the total
Purchase Payments actually made to the Individual Account.
No deferred sales charge is deducted from any Individual Account value which
is:
(a) applied to provide Annuity benefits,
(b) withdrawn on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of
the Individual Account,
(c) withdrawn from an installment Purchase Payment Contract providing you
are at least age 59 1/2 and nine Purchase Payment Periods have been
completed to your Individual Account,
(d) paid due to your death,
(e) withdrawn due to the election of the Estate Conservation Option or the
Systematic Withdrawal Option,
(f) withdrawn due to disability as specified in the Code,
(g) withdrawn due to financial hardship as specified in the Code,
(h) withdrawn due to separation from service while meeting the age and
service requirements to receive benefits under the New York State
Teachers' or Employees' Retirement Systems (even if you are not a
member of either system),
(i) paid where the Individual Account value is less than $2,500 and no
withdrawals have been made from that Individual Account within the
prior 12 months, or
(j) paid in an amount of up to 10% of the current Individual Account. This
applies only to the first partial withdrawal in each calendar year. The
10% amount will be calculated using the Individual Account value on the
date the request is received, in good order, at the Opportunity
22
<PAGE>
Plus Processing Office. This provision is available if you are between
age 59 1/2 and 70 1/2. Any loans outstanding on an Individual Account
are excluded from the Individual Account value when calculating the 10%
amount. This provision does not apply to a full withdrawal of the
Individual Account, or to partial withdrawals due to loan defaults. (See
"Contract Loans.") This provision may not be exercised if ECO or SWO is
elected.
(k) withdrawn from the portion of the Individual Account Value invested in
the Fund(s) and/or GAA attributable to Purchase Payments made on or
after April 1, 1995. The waiver does not apply to amounts deposited in
the Fixed Account. If amounts are deposited in a Fund or GAA and then
transferred to the Fixed Account, the waiver would no longer apply. If
amounts are deposited in the Fixed Account and then transferred to a
Fund or GAA the waiver would not apply to amounts that came from the
Fixed Account. No deferred sales charge would be assessed unless and
until these amounts are withdrawn from the Individual Account. For any
withdrawal, the Individual Account Value of the Purchase Payment(s)
made on or after April 1, 1995 will be withdrawn first. Then, the
remaining Individual Account Value will be used to satisfy the
disbursement request.
In the instances cited in the above paragraphs, no deferred sales charge is
deducted. However the amount withdrawn may be subject to the 10% federal
penalty tax. (See "Tax Status of Amounts Distributed.")
There is no deferred sales charge provision on single Purchase Payment
Contracts. However, if amounts are transferred from a single Purchase Payment
Contract to an installment Purchase Payment Contract, the applicable deferred
sales charge provisions apply to all amounts in the installment Purchase
Payment Contract.
If you transfer the total account value from another of our tax-deferred
Annuity Contracts to an Opportunity Plus Individual Account, the effective
date of the new Individual Account, for purposes of calculating the deferred
sales charge, will be the effective date of your original Individual Account
under the Tax-Deferred Annuity Contract. You will also receive credit for the
number of completed Purchase Payment Periods from that Individual Account plus
the number of completed Purchase Payment Periods of the Opportunity Plus
Individual Account when calculating the total number of completed Purchase
Payment Periods to determine the deferred sales charge.
Based on our actuarial determination, we do not anticipate that the deferred
sales charge will cover all sales and administrative expenses which we will
incur in connection with the Contract. Also, we do not intend to profit from
either the annual maintenance fee or the administrative expense charge, if im-
posed. We do hope to profit from the daily deduction for mortality and expense
risks. Any such profit, as well as any other profit realized by us and held in
the general account (which supports insurance and Annuity obligations), would
be available for any proper corporate purpose, including, but not limited to,
payment of sales and distribution expenses.
PREMIUM TAX
Currently, there is no premium tax on Annuities under New York regulations.
However, in states that do impose a premium tax, it would be deducted from the
amount applied to an Annuity option. We reserve the right to deduct a state
premium tax at any time from the Purchase Payment(s) or from the Individual
Account value based upon our determination of when such tax is due.
COMMISSIONS AND EXPENSES
In addition to buying the features and benefits available under the Contracts,
Purchase Payments compensate one or more sales professionals for their
services. These sales professionals are available to install and service
contracts by providing product explanations and to periodically review
Participants' retirement needs and the investment options available under the
Contract. We pay these professionals
23
<PAGE>
commissions and service fees. In limited circumstances, we also pay certain of
these professionals compensation, overrides or reimbursement for expenses
associated with the installation of the Contract. In total, the compensation
amounts are considered equivalent to approximately 3% of the Purchase Payments
credited to the Contract over the Contract's estimated life.
We pay these commissions, fees and related expenses out of our general assets,
including our investment income and any profits we may derive from investment
advisory fees and mortality and expense risk charges. No additional deductions
are imposed for commissions and related expenses.
The sales professional and the name of any firm that he or she may be
associated with or compensated by are indicated on the enrollment form. More
detailed information is available from these sales professionals.
Other than the mortality and expense risk charge and any administrative expense
charge, all expenses incurred in the operations of Account C are borne by the
Company.
LOANS
If a loan is elected under the Individual Account, the number of Accumulation
Units equal to the loan amount will be withdrawn from the Individual Account.
The withdrawal will be made on a pro rata basis from all investment options
accumulating values under the Individual Account. Accumulation Units taken from
an Account to provide a loan do not participate in the investment experience of
the investment options from which they were withdrawn.
If a quarterly loan repayment is not received by the due date, it will be
deemed a partial withdrawal. In this case, the amount due, plus any applicable
deferred sales charge will be deducted from the Individual Account. The values
used for the partial withdrawal will be those calculated as of the first
business day after the last day of the month the payment was due. For more
information about loans see "Contract Loans."
ADDITIONAL WITHDRAWAL OPTIONS
We offer two withdrawal options that are not considered Annuity options: the
Estate Conservation Option ("ECO") and the Systematic Withdrawal Option
("SWO"). These options are available for Participants whose Individual Account
value is at least $25,000 at the time of election.
Amounts withdrawn for ECO and SWO will be deducted from the Contract in the
same manner as for any other withdrawals during the Accumulation Period except
that no deferred sales charge will be applied. (See "Contract Rights--
Withdrawals" and "Deductions and Charges--Deferred Sales Charge.")
Since ECO and SWO are not Annuity options, the Individual Account remains in
the Accumulation Period, retains all the rights and flexibility described in
this prospectus, and is subject to all other Contract charges. The value of the
Accumulation Units cancelled will be withdrawn proportionately from the
investment options used under the Individual Account. We reserve the right to
discontinue the availability of these distribution options and to change the
terms for future elections.
Once you elect a distribution option, you may revoke it at any time by
submitting a written request to the Opportunity Plus Processing Office. Any
revocation will apply only to the amounts not yet paid. Once ECO or SWO is
revoked, you may not elect it again.
SWO is different from ECO in the following ways: (1) SWO payments are made for
a fixed dollar amount, fixed time period or fixed percentage whereas ECO
payments vary in dollar amount and can continue indefinitely during your
lifetime, and (2) generally, SWO payments will be higher than expected ECO
24
<PAGE>
payments. You should carefully assess your future income needs when considering
the election of these distribution options.
We do not allow simultaneous Contract loans and SWO payments, therefore, SWO
cannot be elected if a loan is outstanding under an Individual Account. If you
elect a loan while receiving payments under SWO, we will automatically cancel
future SWO payments.
You should consult your tax advisor before requesting the election of these
options due to the potential for adverse tax consequences.
In the event of your death, payments may be continued if allowed by the Plan.
ESTATE CONSERVATION OPTION
ECO payments may not be made until the calendar year in which you attain age 70
1/2. We will calculate and distribute an annual amount using the method
contained in the Code's minimum distribution regulations. The annual
distribution is determined by dividing the value of the Individual Account by a
life expectancy factor. The factor will be based on either your life expectancy
or the joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary as
directed by you, and based on tables in IRS regulation. If ECO is based on your
life expectancy, the full Individual or Participant's portion of the Plan
Account must be distributed in the year following your death as required by
current IRS regulations. Factors will be redetermined for each year's
distribution. The value of the Individual Account to be used in this
calculation is the value on the December 31st prior to the year for which
payment is being made. This calculation will be changed, if necessary, to
conform to changes in the Code or applicable regulations.
An exception is made if we maintain a separate record of your Individual
Account value as of December 31, 1986. In this instance, payments made in or
after the year you attain age 70 1/2 but before the year you attain age 75 will
only be calculated on amounts contributed after December 31, 1986 and any
earnings after that date. If you attain 70 1/2 prior to 1988, or if you are in
a governmental or church plan, you must be retired in order to qualify for this
exception.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL OPTION
SWO payments may not be made until you attain age 59 1/2 (55, if separated from
service with the Contract Holder). SWO payments are available monthly,
quarterly, semiannually or annually. No election may be made that would result
in a payment of less than $250.
One of the following distribution methods may be elected:
(a) Specified Payment -- payments of a designated amount. The annual dollar
amount chosen cannot be greater than 10% of the cash value applied to
SWO. The specified payment minimum distribution is determined by
dividing the value of the Individual Account by the life expectancy
factor. The value of the Individual Account to be used in this
calculation is the value on the December 31st prior to the year for
which the payment is being made. The specified payment amount will
remain constant unless a higher amount is required under Code
distribution requirements. If the dollar amount chosen is less than the
Code's minimum distribution, we will calculate and pay the minimum
distribution amount.
(b) Specified Period -- payments for a designated time period. The
specified period must be at least 10 years but not greater than your
life expectancy factor. Each annual distribution is determined by
dividing the Individual Account value by the number of years remaining
in the elected period. The value to be used in this calculation is the
value on the December 31st prior to the year for which the payment is
being made. For payments made more often than annually, the annual
payment result (calculated above) is divided by the number of payments
due each year.
25
<PAGE>
(c) Specified Percentage -- payments of a designated percentage. The
specified percentage chosen cannot be greater than 10% of the amount
applied to SWO. You may change the specified percentage elected every
six months. Each annual distribution is determined by multiplying the
Individual Account or total portions of the Plan Account's value by the
percentage chosen. The value to be used in this calculation is the
value on the December 31st prior to the year for which the payment is
being made. For payments made more often than annually, the annual
payment result (calculated above) is divided by the number of the
payments due each year. Payments will be made each year until the year
you attain age 70 1/2.
A life expectancy factor from tables designated by the IRS will be used to
determine the minimum distribution amounts required. The factor will be based
on either your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your
designated beneficiary, as you direct. Factors will be reduced by 1 (one) for
each distribution year.
ANNUITY PERIOD
ANNUITY PERIOD ELECTIONS
You must notify the Opportunity Plus Processing Office in writing of the
Annuity start date and Annuity option elected (for details, see the SAI). Until
a date and option are elected, the Individual Account will continue in the
Accumulation Period.
You must give written notice to the Opportunity Plus Processing Office at least
30 days before Annuity payments begin electing or changing (a) the date on
which Annuity payments are to begin, (b) the Annuity option, (c) whether the
payments are to be made monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually, and (d)
the investment option(s) used to provide Annuity payments (i.e., an available
credited interest option, Aetna Variable Fund, Aetna Income Shares, Aetna
Investment Advisers Fund, Inc., or any combination thereof). No other variable
Funds may currently be used as investment options during the Annuity Period.
If Annuity payments are to be made on a variable basis, the first and
subsequent payments will vary depending on the assumed net investment rate (3
1/2% per annum, unless a 5% annual rate is elected). Selection of a 5% rate
causes a higher first payment, but Annuity payments will increase thereafter
only to the extent that the net investment rate exceeds 5% on an annualized
basis. Annuity payments would decline if the rate were below 5%. Use of the 3
1/2% assumed rate causes a lower first payment, but subsequent payments would
increase more rapidly or decline more slowly as changes occur in the net
investment rate.
No election may be made that would result in a first Annuity payment of less
than $20 or total yearly Annuity payments of less than $100. If the value of
the Individual Account is insufficient to elect an option for the minimum
amount specified, a lump-sum payment must be elected.
When payments start, the age of the Annuitant plus the number of years for
which payments are guaranteed must not exceed 95.
You will be subject to a 50% federal penalty tax on the amount of distribution
required each year which is not distributed under the Code's minimum
distribution rules.
Distributions of the Individual Account value as of December 31, 1986 must
generally begin by age 75. Distributions of the Individual Account value
attributable to contributions made on and after January 1, 1987 and any
earnings on the entire Individual Account after that date must generally begin
by April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain
age 70 1/2 or retire, whichever occurs later. These distribution dates may be
further deferred if allowed under federal law or regulations.
26
<PAGE>
In determining the amount of benefit payments, the minimum distribution
incidental death benefit rule described in IRS regulations* must be satisfied.
This distribution rule does not apply to certain 403(b) Plans if any of the
Annuity Options under (b) below are elected with the spouse as the sole
beneficiary.
Annuity payments may not extend beyond (a) the life of the Annuitant, (b) the
joint lives of the Annuitant and beneficiary, (c) a period certain greater than
the Annuitant's life expectancy, or (d) a period certain greater than the joint
life expectancies of the Annuitant and beneficiary.
*This rule assures that any death benefits payable under the Plan are inciden-
tal to the primary purpose of the Plan which is to provide retirement benefits
or deferred compensation to the Participant. The amount to be distributed under
this rule is determined based on your age and tables contained in the IRS regu-
lations.
ANNUITY OPTIONS
LIFETIME:
(a) Life Annuity -- an Annuity with payments guaranteed to the date of the
Annuitant's death. This option may be elected with payments guaranteed
for 5, 10, 15 or 20 years. Because it provides a specified minimum
number of Annuity payments, the election of a guaranteed payment period
results in somewhat lower payments.
(b) Life Income Based Upon the Lives of Two Payees -- An Annuity will be
paid during the lives of the Annuitant and a second Annuitant. Payments
will continue until both Annuitants have died. When this option is
chosen, a choice must be made of:
(i) 100% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(ii) 66 2/3% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(iii) 50% of the payment to continue after the first death;
(iv) Payments for a minimum of 120 months, with 100% of the payment to
continue after the first death; or
(v) 100% of the payment to continue at the death of the second
Annuitant and 50% of the payment to continue at the death of the
Annuitant;
Because (iv) provides a specified minimum number of Annuity payments,
the election of the guaranteed payment period results in somewhat lower
payments.
Payments under any lifetime Annuity option will be determined without regard to
the sex of the Annuitant(s). Such Annuity payments will be based solely on the
age of the Annuitant(s).
If a lifetime option is elected without a guaranteed minimum payment period, it
is possible that only one Annuity payment will be made if the Annuitant under
(a), or the surviving Annuitant under (b), should die prior to the due date of
the second Annuity payment.
Once lifetime Annuity payments begin, the Annuitant cannot elect to receive a
lump-sum settlement.
NONLIFETIME:
Payments for a Specified Period -- an Annuity with payments to be made for
three to thirty years, as selected. If this option is elected on a variable
basis, the Annuitant may request at any time during the payment period that
the present value of all or any portion of the remaining variable payments
be paid in one sum. However, under an installment Purchase Payment
Contract, any lump-sum elected before three years of payments have been
completed will be treated as a withdrawal during the Accumulation Period
and any applicable deferred sales charge will be
27
<PAGE>
assessed. (See "Deferred Sales Charge.") This option is not available on a
variable basis under a Contract which provides for immediate Annuity
benefits.
We make a daily deduction for mortality and expense risks from any Contract
values held on a variable basis. (See "Mortality and Expense Risk Charges.")
Therefore, electing the nonlifetime option on a variable basis will result in a
deduction being made even though we assume no mortality risk.
In addition to the Annuity options described, we may make optional methods of
payment available to you and other payees.
DEATH BENEFIT
A portion or all of any death proceeds may be (a) paid to the beneficiary in a
lump sum; (b) applied under any of the Annuity Options; (c) subject to
applicable provisions of the Code, left in the variable investment options; (d)
if the beneficiary is your spouse, paid under SWO or ECO; or (e) subject to
applicable provisions of the Code, left on deposit in our general account with
the beneficiary electing to receive monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual
interest payments at the interest rate then currently being credited on such
deposits (the balance on deposit can be withdrawn at any time or applied under
any "Annuity Options"). Any lump-sum payment paid during the Accumulation
Period or allowed under the applicable lifetime or nonlifetime Annuity options
will normally be made within seven calendar days after proof of death
acceptable to us and a request for payment are received at the Opportunity Plus
Processing Office.
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
If a lump-sum distribution is elected, the beneficiary will receive the value
of the Individual Account determined as of the Valuation Period in which proof
of death acceptable to us and request for payment are received at the
Opportunity Plus Processing Office.
If the designated beneficiary is your surviving spouse, he or she has until you
would have attained age 70 1/2 to begin Annuity payments, to receive a lump-sum
distribution or to begin receiving distributions under ECO or SWO.
If your beneficiary is not your surviving spouse, either Annuity payments must
begin within one year of your death, or the entire value must be distributed
within five years of your death.
In no event may payments to any beneficiary extend beyond the life of the
beneficiary or any period certain greater than the beneficiary's life
expectancy.
ANNUITY PERIOD
If an Annuitant dies after Annuity payments have begun, any death benefit
payable will depend upon the terms of the Contract and the Annuity option
selected.
If lifetime option (a) or (b) was elected without a guaranteed minimum payment
period under the Contract, Annuity payments will cease upon the death of the
Annuitant under a Life Annuity or the death of the second Annuitant under
options (b)(i), (ii), (iii) or (v).
Under the Contract, if lifetime options (a) or (b) were elected with a
guaranteed minimum payment period and the death of the Annuitant under option
(a) or the surviving Annuitant under option (b)(iv) occurs prior to the end of
that period, we will pay to your beneficiary in a lump sum, unless otherwise
requested, the present value of the guaranteed Annuity payments remaining. Such
value will be determined as of the Valuation Period in which proof of death
acceptable to us and a request for payment are received at the Opportunity Plus
Processing Office. The value will be reduced by any payments made after the
date of death.
28
<PAGE>
If the nonlifetime option was elected under the Contract and the Annuitant dies
before all payments are made, the value of any remaining payments may be paid
in a lump sum to the beneficiary and no deferred sales charge will be imposed.
Such value will be determined as of the Valuation Period in which proof of
death acceptable to us and a request for payment are received at the
Opportunity Plus Processing Office.
If the Annuitant dies after Annuity payments have begun and if there is a death
benefit payable under the Annuity option elected, the remaining value must be
distributed to the beneficiary at least as rapidly as under the original method
of distribution.
TAX STATUS
FEDERAL TAX STATUS OF THE COMPANY
We are taxed as a life insurance company in accordance with the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Code"). For federal income tax purposes, the
operations of the Separate Account form a part of our total operations and are
not taxed independently, although operations of the Separate Account are
treated separately for accounting and financial statement purposes. Under the
current provisions of the Code, the investment income and realized capital
gains of the Separate Account (i.e., income and capital gains distributed to
the Separate Account by the Funds) will not be taxable to us to the extent such
amounts are credited to the Contracts. Based on this, no charge is being made
currently to the Separate Account for federal income taxes. However, we reserve
the right to make a deduction for federal income taxes attributable to the
Contracts should such taxes be imposed in the future.
TAX STATUS OF THE CONTRACT
In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts may be
considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the assets of the
separate accounts used to support their contracts. In those circumstances,
income and gains from the separate account assets would be includible in the
variable contract owner's gross income. The IRS has stated in published rulings
that a variable contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account
assets if the contract owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets,
such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. The
Treasury Department has also announced, in connection with the issuance of
regulations concerning diversification, that those regulations "do not provide
guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control for the
investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor (i.e., the
Owner), rather than the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the
assets in the account." This announcement also stated that guidance would be
issued by way of regulations or rulings on the "extent to which policyholders
may direct their investments to particular Funds without being treated as
owners of the underlying assets." As of the date of this Prospectus, no
guidance has been issued.
The ownership rights under the Contract are similar to, but different in
certain respects from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was
determined that contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For
example, an Owner has additional flexibility in allocating premium payments and
account values. These differences could result in an Owner being treated as the
owner of a pro rata portion of the assets of the Separate Account. In addition,
the Company does not know what standards will be set forth, if any, in the
regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department has stated it expects to
issue. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the Contract as
necessary to attempt to prevent an Owner from being considered the owner of a
pro rata share of the assets of the Separate Account.
29
<PAGE>
TAX STATUS OF AMOUNTS DISTRIBUTED
The following description of the federal income tax status of amounts
distributed under the Contracts is not exhaustive and is not intended to cover
all situations. You should seek advice from your tax advisor as to the
application of federal (and where applicable, state and local) tax laws to
amounts received by you and by your beneficiaries under the Contracts.
Whether you elect a lump sum or Annuity payments, if you have made after-tax
contributions to an Opportunity Plus Individual Account, you will have a cost
basis (equal to such contributions) which can be recovered tax-free from dis-
tributions from the Opportunity Plus program.
A federal income tax of 20% may be withheld from any amount paid directly to
you (see below). Any state income tax due will be withheld unless we are
notified otherwise. We will report to the IRS the taxable portion of all
distributions.
The Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution
unless made when (a) you have attained age 59 1/2, (b) you have become
disabled, (c) you have died, (d) you have attained age 55 and have separated
from service with the school board, (e) the distribution amount is rolled over
into a 403(b) plan or to an Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") in
accordance with terms of the Code, or (f) the distribution amount is
annuitized over the life or life expectancy of you or the joint lives or life
expectancies of you and your beneficiary, provided you have separated from
service with the school board. In addition, the penalty tax is abated for the
amount of a distribution equal to unreimbursed medical expenses incurred by
you that qualify for deduction as specified in the Code.
ACCUMULATION PERIOD
The Purchase Payments and investment results of Account C credited to the
value of the Individual Account are not taxable to you until distributed.
Lump-sum payments will generally be taxed to you as ordinary income in the
year received.
Certain payees (a Participant, surviving spouse, and former spouse, if
entitled to benefits under certain divorce orders) entitled to a distribution
under this Contract on or after January 1, 1993, may elect a direct rollover
of an eligible rollover distribution. A direct rollover is the payment by us
to another eligible retirement plan. The election of a direct rollover must be
made in accordance with our procedures.
An eligible rollover distribution is a distribution of all or any portion of
an amount payable except for any distribution: (1) that is one of a series of
equal payments (made at least once a year) for the life/life expectancy of the
payee or payee and beneficiary, or for a period of ten years or more; (2) that
is a required minimum distribution under Code Section 401(a)(9); and (3) any
distribution or portion thereof that is not taxable. For you as a Participant
in a 403(b) plan, an eligible retirement plan is another 403(b) plan or an
individual retirement annuity/account. For a surviving spouse, an eligible
retirement plan is an individual retirement annuity/account.
If a direct rollover of an eligible rollover distribution is made, we must
report the amount of the distribution to the IRS and to you, but we are not
required to withhold any federal or state income tax. If an eligible rollover
distribution is paid to the payee (as defined above), we must withhold 20%
federal income tax and any required state income tax. For taxable amounts that
are not eligible rollover distributions, if payable to the payee, he or she
has the right to choose not to have federal income tax withheld.
If you receive a payment prior to reaching age 59 1/2, and do not roll the
payment over, in addition to the withholding tax, a 10% penalty tax on the
taxable portion of the payment may apply (unless the payment is subject to an
exception listed above).
ANNUITY PERIOD
Annuity payments will generally be fully taxable to you as ordinary income
when received.

MISCELLANEOUS
VOTING RIGHTS
Each Contract Holder may direct us in the voting of shares at meetings of
shareholders of the appropriate Fund(s). The number of votes to which each
Contract Holder may give direction will be determined as of the record date.
The number of votes each Contract Holder is entitled to direct with respect to
a particular Fund during the Accumulation Period is equal to the portion of the
current value of the Contract attributable to that Fund, divided by the net
asset value of one share of that Fund. During the Annuity Period, the number of
votes is equal to the Valuation Reserve applicable to the portion of the
Contract attributable to that Fund, divided by the net asset value of one share
of that Fund. In determining the number of votes, fractional votes will be
recognized. Where the value of the Contract or Valuation Reserve relates to
more than one Fund, the calculation of votes will be performed separately for
each Fund.
Participants and Annuitants have a fully vested (100%) interest in the benefits
provided under the Contract. Therefore, Participants and Annuitants may
instruct the Contract Holder how to direct us to cast the votes for the portion
of the Contract value or Valuation Reserve attributable to their Individual
Accounts. Votes attributable to those Participants and Annuitants who do not
instruct the Contract Holder will be cast by us in the same proportion as votes
for which instructions have been received by the Contract Holder. Votes
attributable to Contract Holders who do not direct us will be cast by us in the
same proportion as the votes for which directions have been received by us.
Participants and Annuitants entitled to instruct the casting of votes for a
particular Fund will receive a notice of each meeting of shareholders of that
Fund, together with any proxy solicitation materials, and a statement of the
number of votes attributable to their participation under the Contract and
stating the right to instruct the Contract Holder how such votes shall be cast.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Changes to the following Contract provisions may be considered material by us
and cannot be changed without the approval of appropriate state or federal
regulatory authorities: transfers among investment options; notification to the
Contract Holder; conditions governing payments of surrender values; terms of
Annuity options; death benefit payments; and maintenance fee provisions.
We may modify the Contract by giving written notice to the Contract Holder 30
days before the effective date of the change. However, changes to the items
listed below will apply only to new Participants enrolled under a Contract
after the effective date of the modification:
(a) the Annuity options,
(b) the contractual promise that no deduction will be made from Purchase
Payment(s) for sales or administrative expenses,
(c) the deferred sales charges, if applicable,
(d) the mortality and expense risk charges,
(e) the administrative expense charge provision, and
(f) the annual maintenance fee.
If the Contract Holder has not accepted the proposed modification at the time
of its effective date, no new Participants may be enrolled under the Contract.
However, additional Purchase Payments may continue to be made on behalf of
Participants already enrolled under the Contract.
31
<PAGE>
No change may affect any Annuity beginning before the effective date of such
modification unless deemed necessary for the Opportunity Plus program or
Contract to comply with the requirements of the Code or other laws and
regulations affecting the Opportunity Plus program or Contract.
Modification of items (b) through (f) above will also require approval by the
SEC.
CONTRACT HOLDER/PARTICIPANT INQUIRIES
A Contract Holder or Participant may direct inquiries to the Opportunity Plus
Processing Office at the address shown on the cover page of this prospectus.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
You may elect to make transfers among funds by telephone. If you want this
option, indicate on your enrollment form or contact the Opportunity Plus
Processing Office. We have enacted procedures to prevent abuses of Individual
Account transactions by telephone. The procedures include requiring the use of
a personal identification number (PIN) to execute transactions. You are
responsible for safeguarding your PIN and for keeping account information
confidential. If the Company fails to follow its procedures it would be liable
for any losses to your Individual Account resulting from the failure. To ensure
authenticity, we record all Individual Account transactions on the 800 line.
Note: All Individual Account information and transactions permitted are subject
to the terms of the Plans.
TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP; ASSIGNMENT
Unless contrary to applicable law, assignment of the Contract or Individual
Account is prohibited.
AGREEMENT BETWEEN UNITED UNIVERSITY PROFESSIONS (UUP) AND THE COMPANY
We compensate UUP $48,000 per year for the use of on-site campus facilities,
the endorsement of the Opportunity Plus program and for the use of UUP payroll
slots.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We know of no material legal proceedings pending to which the Separate Account
is a party or which would materially affect the Separate Account.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the securities offered by this Prospectus has been passed upon
by Susan E. Bryant, Esq., Counsel to the Company.

APPENDIX I
GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
THE GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT ("GAA") IS A CREDITED INTEREST OPTION
AVAILABLE DURING THE ACCUMULATION PERIOD UNDER THE CONTRACTS DESCRIBED IN THIS
PROSPECTUS. YOU AND THE CONTRACT HOLDER SHOULD READ THE ACCOMPANYING GAA
PROSPECTUS CAREFULLY BEFORE INVESTING. THIS APPENDIX IS A SUMMARY OF GAA AND IS
NOT INTENDED TO REPLACE THE GAA PROSPECTUS. AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO GAA ARE HELD
IN A NONINSULATED NONUNITIZED SEPARATE ACCOUNT.
GAA is a credited interest option in which we guarantee stipulated rates of
interest for stated periods of time on amounts directed to GAA. The interest
rate stipulated is an annual effective yield; that is, it reflects a full
year's interest. Interest is credited daily at a rate that will provide the
guaranteed annual effective yield over the period of one year. This option
guarantees the minimum interest rate specified in the Contract.
During a specified period of time, amounts may be applied to any or all
available Guaranteed Terms within the Short-Term and Long-Term Classifications.
The Short-Term Classification consists of all Guaranteed Terms of 3 years or
less and the Long-Term Classification consists of all Guaranteed Terms of 10
years or less, but greater than 3 years.
Withdrawals or transfers from a Guaranteed Term before the end of that
Guaranteed Term may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment ("MVA"). An MVA
reflects the change in the value of the investment due to changes in interest
rates since the date of deposit. When interest rates increase after the date of
deposit, the value of the investment decreases, and the MVA is negative.
Conversely, when interest rates decrease after the date of deposit, the value
of the investment increases, and the MVA is positive. It is possible that a
negative MVA could result in you receiving an amount that is less than the
amount paid into GAA.
As a Guaranteed Term matures, assets accumulating under GAA may be (a)
transferred to a new Guaranteed Term, (b) transferred to the other available
investment options, or (c) withdrawn. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to a
deferred sales charge and/or tax penalties and/or withholding.
By notifying us at the Opportunity Plus Processing Office at least 30 days
before the Annuity payments begin, you may elect to have amounts that have been
accumulating under GAA transferred to one or more of the Funds available during
the Annuity Period, to provide variable Annuity payments. GAA cannot be used as
an investment during the Annuity Period.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES
We make no deductions from the credited interest rate for mortality and expense
risks; these risks are considered in determining the credited rate.
TRANSFERS
Amounts applied to a Guaranteed Term during a deposit period may not be
transferred to any other funding option or to another Guaranteed Term during
that deposit period or for 90 days after the close of that deposit period.
Transfers are permitted from Guaranteed Terms of one Classification to
available Guaranteed Terms of another Classification. We will apply an MVA to
GAA transfers made before the end of a Guaranteed Term. Transfers of GAA values
due to a maturity are not subject to an MVA.
34
<PAGE>
CONTRACT LOANS
Loans may not be made against amounts held in GAA, although such value is
included in determining the value of the Individual Account against which a
loan may be made.
REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE
Any amounts reinvested in GAA will be applied to the current deposit period.
Amounts are proportionately reinvested to the Classifications in the same
manner as they were allocated before the withdrawal. Any negative MVA amount
applied to a withdrawal is not included in the reinvestment.
35
<PAGE>
APPENDIX II
THE FIXED ACCOUNT
THE FIXED ACCOUNT IS AN INVESTMENT OPTION AVAILABLE DURING THE ACCUMULATION
PERIOD UNDER THE CONTRACTS. THE FOLLOWING SUMMARIZES MATERIAL INFORMATION
CONCERNING THE FIXED ACCOUNT THAT IS OFFERED AS AN OPTION UNDER THE CONTRACT.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MAY BE FOUND IN YOUR CERTIFICATE. AMOUNTS ALLOCATED TO
THE FIXED ACCOUNT ARE HELD IN THE COMPANY'S GENERAL ACCOUNT THAT SUPPORTS
INSURANCE AND ANNUITY OBLIGATIONS. INTERESTS IN THE FIXED ACCOUNT HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED WITH THE SEC IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED. DISCLOSURE IN THIS PROSPECTUS REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT,
HOWEVER, MAY BE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN GENERALLY APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE
FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS RELATING TO THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS OF THE
STATEMENTS. DISCLOSURE IN THIS APPENDIX REGARDING THE FIXED ACCOUNT HAS NOT
BEEN REVIEWED BY THE COMMISSION.
This option guarantees that amounts allocated to this option will earn the
minimum interest rate specified in the Contract. We may credit a higher
interest rate from time to time. The Company's determination of interest rates
reflects the investment income earned on invested assets and the amortization
of any capital gains and/or losses realized on the sale of invested assets.
Under this option, we assume the risk of investment gain or loss by
guaranteeing Net Purchase Payment values and promising a minimum interest rate
and Annuity payment. This option is only available under installment Purchase
Payment Contracts.
We, under certain emergency conditions, may defer payment of a Fixed Account
surrender value (a) for a period of up to 6 months or (b) as provided by
federal law.
Amounts applied to the Fixed Account will earn the interest rate in effect when
actually applied to the Fixed Account.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGES
The Fixed Account will reflect a compound interest rate credited by us. The
interest rate quoted is an annual effective yield. We make no deductions from
the credited interest rate for mortality and expense risks; these risks are
considered in determining the credited rate.
TRANSFERS AMONG INVESTMENT OPTIONS
Transfers from the Fixed Account to any other available investment option are
allowed in each calendar year during the Accumulation Period. The amount which
may be transferred may vary at our discretion; however, it will never be less
than 10% of the amount held under the Fixed Account.
By notifying us at the Opportunity Plus Processing Office at least 30 days
before Annuity payments begin, you may elect to have amounts which have been
accumulating under the Fixed Account transferred to those funds then available
for the variable Annuity payments. Currently the available funds are Aetna
Variable Fund, Aetna Income Shares and Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc.
CONTRACT LOANS
Loans may be made from those Individual Account values held in the Fixed
Account.
36
<PAGE>
HYPOTHETICAL TABLES
The tables shown below represent hypothetical periodic accumulation values that
would have resulted under a Contract described in this prospectus. Each set of
tables exhibits hypothetical results based exclusively on the investment
performance of a particular Fund during the periods shown. Generally, the first
table for each Fund shows the accumulation period value at each anniversary of
the Contract. The second table shows quarterly accumulation values for a $100
contribution.The third table for each Fund reflects the quarterly values of the
annuity payment, assuming an initial annuity payment of $100 and an interest
rate of 3 1/2% per year. Currently, Aetna Variable Fund, Aetna Income Shares
and Aetna Investment Advisers Fund, Inc. are the only variable investment
options available during the Annuity Period; therefore, Annuity Period charts
are given only for those Funds.
Since the Contracts are designed to fund variable retirement benefits through
long-term investments, Contracts kept active will, on the average, involve a
long relationship between the Company and the Contract Holder or Participant
during both the Accumulation and Annuity Periods. Accordingly, the tables show,
for Aetna Variable Fund, Aetna Income Shares and Aetna Variable Encore Fund, a
10-year history. For the other Funds, the histories since each fund became
available are shown.
DEDUCTIONS TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
Each table's results reflect the provisions of the Contracts described in this
prospectus. The tables assume that deductions under the Contracts have been
made at an annual rate of 1.25% for mortality and expense risks and the
applicable percentage for investment advisory services for each Fund. For all
Funds, the applicable "Other Expenses" are also reflected. For illustrative
purposes, the maintenance fee is assumed to be deducted on the last day of each
Contract Year.
NOTE
These hypothetical charts reflect actual historical performance, but are not
indicative of future results. A program of the type illustrated in the tables
does not assure a profit or protect against depreciation in declining markets.
