ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On December 31, 2000, the registrant's parent company, Great-West Life & Annuity
Insurance Company ("GWL&A"), and certain affiliated companies completed a
corporate reorganization. Under the new structure, GWL&A and The Great-West Life
Assurance Company ("GWL") will each continue to be indirectly owned by
Great-West Lifeco Inc., a Canadian holding company ("Lifeco"), but GWL will no
longer hold an indirect equity interest in GWL&A. As was the case before the
reorganization: (a) Lifeco is a subsidiary of Power Financial Corporation
("Power Financial"), a Canadian holding company with substantial interests in
the financial services industry; (b) Power Corporation of Canada ("Power
Corporation"), a Canadian holding and management company, has voting control of
Power Financial; (c) Mr. Paul Desmarais, through a group of private holding
companies which he controls, has voting control of Power Corporation.
