GUARANTEED ACCUMULATION ACCOUNT
Supplement dated July 21, 1999
to the Prospectus dated May 3, 1999
This supplement replaces the supplement dated May 3, 1999 and updates and
amends the information contained in the prospectus dated May 3, 1999. You
should read this supplement along with the prospectus and keep it for future
reference.
The following is added to the section entitled "Summary--Fees and Other
Deductions":
> Transfer Fees. Under some contracts, during the accumulation phase,
transfer fees of up to $10 per transfer may be deducted from amounts held
in or transferred from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. See "Contract
Charges"; see also the "Fees" section of the contract prospectus
> Premium Taxes. We may deduct premium taxes of up to 4% from amounts in
the Guaranteed Accumulation Account. See "Contract Charges"; see also the
"Fees" section of the contract prospectus
> Front End Sales Charges. Under some contracts, we may deduct front end
sales charges of up to 6%. See "Contract Charges"; see also the "Fees"
section of the contract prospectus
The section entitled "Summary--Maturity Value Transfer Provision" is restated
as follows:
Maturity Value Transfer Provision. If we automatically transfer the matured
investment into the current deposit period, the contract holder or you, if
applicable, may, for a limited time, transfer or withdraw all or a portion
of the matured investment that was transferred without an MVA. As described
in "Fees and Other Deductions" above, other fees, including an early
withdrawal charge and a maintenance fee, may be assessed on amounts
withdrawn. See "Maturity Value Transfer Provision."
The first example listed under "Example II" in Appendix I--Examples of Market
Value Adjustment Calculations is restated as follows:
EXAMPLE II
Assumptions:
i, the deposit period yield, is 10%
j, the current yield, is 8%
x, the number of days remaining (computed from Wednesday of the week of
withdrawal) in the guaranteed term, is 927.
x
- - ---
MVA = |(1 + i)| 365
|-------|
|(1 + j)|
- -
927
- - ---
MVA = | (1.10) | 365
| ------ |
| (1.08) |
- -
MVA = 1.0477
In this example, the deposit period yield of 10% is greater than the
current yield of 8%; therefore, the MVA is greater than 1. The amount
withdrawn from the guaranteed term is multiplied by this MVA.
If a withdrawal or transfer request of a specific dollar amount is
requested, the amount withdrawn from a guaranteed term will be decreased to
reflect the positive MVA amount. For example, a withdrawal request to
receive a check for $2,000 would result in a $1,908.94 withdrawal from the
guaranteed term.
