FLEXIBLE PREMIUM JOINT AND LAST SURVIVOR
VARIABLE LIFE INSURANCE POLICY
ISSUED BY
GENERAL AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
700 Market Street
St. Louis, MO 63101
(314) 231-1700
This Prospectus describes a flexible premium joint and last survivor
variable life insurance Policy ("the Policy") offered by General
American Life Insurance Company ("General American" or "the Company").
The Policy is designed to provide lifetime insurance protection and to
provide maximum flexibility to vary premium payments and change the
level of death benefits payable under the Policy. This flexibility
allows you to provide for changing insurance needs under a single
insurance policy. You also have the opportunity to allocate Net
Premiums among several investment portfolios with different investment
objectives.
The Policy provides:
(1) a Cash Surrender Value that can be obtained by surrendering the
Policy;
(2) Policy Loans; and
(3) a death benefit payable at the death of the Last Insured. As long
as a Policy remains in force before the younger Insured's Attained
Age 100, the death benefit will be at least the current Face Amount
of the Policy. A Policy will remain in force as long as its Cash
Surrender Value is sufficient to pay the monthly charges.
After the end of the "Right to Examine Policy" period, you may allocate
the Net Premiums to one or more of the Divisions of General American
Separate Account Eleven ("the Separate Account") or in certain contracts
to General American's General Account.
You will find a list of the Funds in the Separate Account, the fund
managers, and the investment objectives in the Summary on page . Note
that investment results in the Separate Account are not guaranteed --
you may either make money or lose money. Depending on investment
results, the policy could lapse or the death benefit could change. The
Prospectus of each Fund contains a full description of the Fund,
including the investment policies, restrictions, risks, and charges.
You should receive a Prospectus for each Fund along with this Prospectus
for the Policy.
In most Policies you may also invest all or part of your Cash Value in
the General Account, which guarantees at least 4% interest.
It may not be advantageous to purchase a Policy as a replacement for
another type of life insurance or as a means to obtain additional
insurance protection if the purchaser already owns another flexible
premium joint and last survivor variable life insurance policy.
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES
AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE ACCURACY
OR ADEQUACY OF THIS PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A
CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
Please read this Prospectus carefully and retain it for future
reference. The date of this Prospectus is May 1, 1999. The Policies
are not available in all states.
THIS PROSPECTUS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFERING IN ANY JURISDICTION IN
WHICH SUCH OFFERING MAY NOT BE LAWFULLY MADE. NO DEALER, SALESMAN, OR
OTHER PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO GIVE ANY INFORMATION OR MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OFFERING OTHER THAN THOSE
CONTAINED IN THIS PROSPECTUS, AND, IF GIVEN OR MADE, SUCH OTHER
INFORMATION OR REPRESENTATIONS MUST NOT BE RELIED UPON.

SUMMARY
THROUGHOUT THIS SUMMARY, THE TERMS "YOU" AND "YOUR" REFER TO THE OWNER
OF THE POLICY. THE OWNER MAY OR MAY NOT BE ONE OF THE PERSONS INSURED
UNDER THE POLICY. THE TERMS "WE," "US," AND "OUR" REFER TO GENERAL
AMERICAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.
THE INFORMATION IN THIS SECTION IS JUST A SUMMARY, WRITTEN IN "LAYMEN'S
TERMS" TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE POLICY. HOWEVER, BOTH YOUR POLICY AND
THIS PROSPECTUS ARE LEGAL DOCUMENTS. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THEM,
YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR AGENT OR OTHER COMPETENT PROFESSIONAL ADVISERS.
IN PREPARING THIS SUMMARY, WE ASSUME THAT THE POLICY IS IN FORCE, AND
THAT YOU HAVE NOT BORROWED ANY OF THE CASH VALUE.
THE POLICY. You are purchasing a life insurance policy. Like many life
insurance policies, it has both a death benefit and a cash value. The
death benefit is the amount of money that we will pay to the beneficiary
if both of the persons insured under the policy die while the policy is
in force. The cash value is the amount of money accumulated in your
policy as an investment at any time. The cash value consists of the
premiums you have paid, reduced by the expenses deducted for operation
of the policy, and either increased or decreased by investment results.
You have certain rights, including the right to borrow or withdraw money
from the policy's cash value and the right to select the funds in which
you will invest your premiums.
You have the right to review the policy and decide whether you want to
keep it. If you decide not to keep the policy, you may return it to us
or to your agent during the "Right to Examine Policy Period." This
period is sometimes referred to as the "Free Look Period." It normally
ends on the later of:
1. twenty days after you receive the policy or
2. forty-five days after you signed the application.
In some states the period may be longer. Your agent can tell you if
this is the case.
During the "Right to Examine Policy Period" we will hold any premiums
you have paid in the money market fund. If you return the policy before
the end of the free look period, we will cancel the policy and return
any premiums you have paid. (For policies issued in Kansas, the rules
are different. Your agent can provide you with the details.) (See
Policy Rights - Right to Examine Policy.)
When the "Right to Examine Policy Period" ends, we will deduct any
charges due and transfer the rest of the money (your "net premium")
into the investment funds that you have selected. We will continue to
transfer future net premiums into the investments that you select as
soon as we receive the premiums.
The policy is a "flexible premium" policy. This means that you may,
within limits described below, make premium payments at any time and in
any amount you choose. You do not have to make premium payments
according to a fixed schedule, although you may choose to do so.
There are limits on the amount that you may pay into the policy without
creating tax consequences. If you make a premium payment that exceeds
the limit, we will notify you and offer to refund the excess paid.
We will deduct certain expenses from your cash value. These expenses
are described below. In addition, your cash value may increase or
decrease, depending on the investment experience of the funds you
select. Because it is possible for your cash value to decrease, you may
have to pay additional premiums in order to keep the policy in force.
As long as there is enough money in your cash value to pay the monthly
charges, your death benefit will always be at least the face amount of
your policy, minus any amount that you have borrowed from the policy.
The face amount of your policy means the amount of insurance that you
have purchased. It is shown on the specifications page of your policy.
We will notify you if your cash value is not enough to pay the monthly
charges. If that happens, you will have 62 days to make a premium
payment big enough to bring your cash value up to the amount required to
pay the charges. If you make the premium payment, the policy will stay
in force. If you don't, the policy will lapse, or end with no value.
(See Payment and Allocation of Premiums - Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.)
INVESTING YOUR CASH VALUE. You may tell us to invest your cash value in
either the general account or the separate account, or you may split
your cash value between them.
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT. The general account is an interest-bearing
account. Money in the general account is guaranteed to earn at least 4%
interest, and it may earn more. General American determines the
1<PAGE>
<PAGE>
current interest rate from time to time, and we will notify you in
advance of any changes. We have the right to limit the amount of money
that you may put into the general account.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT. The separate account consists of divisions, which
represent different types of investments. Each division may either make
money or lose money. Therefore if you invest in a division of the
separate account, you may either make money or lose money, depending on
the investment experience of that division. There is no guaranteed rate
of return in the separate account.
There are currently twenty-four divisions, or investment options,
available in the separate account. These divisions represent investment
funds run by various investment companies. The investment companies
hire advisers to operate or advise on the day-to-day operation of the
funds.
The following list shows the investment companies whose funds are
available under the policy, along with the managers or advisers and the
divisions that they oversee:

</TABLE>
You may change the investments that you want to use for your future
premiums by notifying our Home Office.
You may transfer your cash value among the various investment funds, and
you may withdraw money, but there are certain rules. We don't charge
you for the first twelve transfers or withdrawals in a policy year, but
we charge a $25 fee for each transfer or withdrawal after the first
twelve. (A policy year is measured beginning on the anniversary of the
date that the policy was issued, and ending on the day before the next
anniversary.)
We have the right change or eliminate transfers in the future, although
we don't currently intend to do so.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS. There are certain costs that we charge you for
issuing your policy and keeping it in force. This section describes
those charges -- what they are and what they cover.
SALES CHARGE. Each time you pay a premium, we deduct a portion to cover
expenses of the policy. Part of this deduction covers sales charges.
We guarantee that this part of the deduction will never exceed the
following amounts:
* in the first policy year, 15% of the amount you pay up to the
target premium and 5% of the amount you pay above the target
premium. (The amount of the target premium varies by age and risk
class, and is shown in your policy.)
* in the 2nd through 10th Policy Years, 5% of the actual premium you pay;
* in the 11th Policy Year and later, 2% of the actual premium you pay.
For policies issued in the state of Oregon we deduct an additional 2% of
actual premium paid in all policy years.
TAX CHARGE. The Federal government and many states and territories
impose taxes or charges on insurance premiums. We deduct from your
premium payment the amount required to pay these taxes and charges. We
deduct 1.3% of each premium payment to pay the Federal charge. The
amount we deduct to pay the state and territory charges varies by state.
It ranges from 0% to 4%, with an average of about 2.1%.
If the tax rates change, we may change the amount of the deduction to
cover the new charge. (See Charges and Deductions - Premium Expense
Charges.)
If we are required by law to pay taxes based on the separate account, we
may charge an appropriate share to policies that invest in the separate
account. (See Federal Tax Matters.)
SURRENDER CHARGE. If you surrender your policy or let it lapse during
the first ten policy years, we will keep part of the cash value to help
us recover the costs of selling and issuing the policy. This charge is
called a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (CDSC) or, more simply, a
surrender charge.
The surrender charge is 45% of the target premium if you surrender the
policy or let it lapse during the first five policy years. After that
the amount of the surrender charge goes down each month. After the 10th
policy year there is no charge.
There is a table in your policy that shows the amount of the target
premium and the percentage of the surrender charge for each month.
If you withdraw money from your policy or if you surrender a portion of
your policy, we will charge a pro-rated portion of the surrender charge.
Of course, if you don't surrender all or part of your policy, or let it
lapse, or withdraw cash from it, then you will not pay a surrender
charge.
If you increase the face amount of your policy, the increase will have
its own surrender charge for the first 10 policy years following the
increase.
(See Policy Rights - Surrender, Partial Withdrawals, and Pro-Rata
Surrender; Policy Benefits - Death Benefit; and Charges and Deductions
- - Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.)
5
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Under certain conditions, applied in a uniform and nondiscriminatory
manner, we may reduce the surrender charge. (See Adjustment of Charges.)
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE. We charge a monthly fee to cover your policy's
administrative cost. This charge is $25 each month for the first policy
year, and $6 each month after the first policy year. We will deduct the
charge from your cash value each month.
SELECTION AND ISSUE EXPENSE CHARGE. This charge allows us to recover
part of the commissions and other costs of issuing your policy. We
determine the amount of the charge based on the size of your policy and
on the age, sex, and risk class of the persons insured under the policy.
The charge ranges from about 4 cents per $1,000 of Face Amount to about
65 cents per $1,000. We deduct the charge from your cash value each
month for the first ten policy years. If you increase the face amount
of your policy, there is a new charge associated with that increase
until it has been in effect for ten policy years.
COST OF INSURANCE. Because this is a life insurance policy, it has a
death benefit. We charge an insurance cost each month to cover the risk
that you will die and we will have to pay the death benefit.
The amount of this charge varies with the age, sex, risk class of the
persons insured under the policy, and the amount of the death benefit at
risk -- if the risk of death or the amount of the death benefit is
greater, then the cost of insurance is also greater. We deduct the cost
of insurance from your cash value each month.
We make another charge to cover mortality and expense risks under the
Policy. We calculate this charge based on a percentage of the net
assets in each division of the separate account. Rather than deducting
the charge from the cash value, we apply the charge by adjusting the net
rate of return in the separate account. We guarantee that the charge
will not exceed the following amounts, shown on an annual percentage
basis:
Policy years 1-10 .55% of net separate account assets
Policy years 11-20 .45% of net separate account assets
Policy years 21+ .35% of net separate account Assets
(See Charges and Deductions - Separate Account Charges.)
We pay the operating expenses of the separate account. The investment
funds pay for their own operating expenses and investment fees. For a
description of these charges, see Charges and Deductions--Separate
Account Charges.
The following chart shows the operating expenses of the funds as
reported for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998:

<FN>
<F1> The Fund expenses shown above are collected from the underlying
Fund, and are not direct charges against the Separate Account assets or
reductions from the Policy's Cash Value. These underlying Fund Expenses
are taken into consideration in computing each Fund's net asset value,
which is used to calculate the unit values in the Separate Account. The
management fees and other expenses are more fully described in the
prospectus of each individual Fund. The information relating to the
Fund expenses was provided by the Fund and was not independently
verified by General American. Except as otherwise specifically noted,
the management fees and other expenses are not currently subject to fee
waivers or expense reimbursements.
<F2> The fees charged by the Managed Equity Fund are stated as a series
of annual percentages of the average daily value of the net assets of
the Fund. The percentages decrease with respect to assets of the Fund
above certain amounts, as follows: First $10 million, 0.40%; Next $20
million, 0.30%; Balance over $30 million, 0.25%.
<F3> The fees charged by the International Index Fund are stated as a
series of annual percentages of the average daily value of the net
assets of the Funds. The percentages decrease with respect to assets of
the Fund above certain amounts, as follows: First $10 million, 0.50%;
Next $20 million, 0.40%; Balance over $20 million, 0.30%.
<F4> The fees charged by the Mid-Cap Equity Fund are stated as a series
of annual percentages of the average daily value of the net assets of
the Funds. The percentages decrease with respect to assets of the Fund
above certain amounts, as follows: First $10 million, 0.55%; Next $10
million, 0.45%; Balance over $20 million, 0.40%.
<F5> The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.78%
management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount
by which the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 0.92% of the Fund's
average daily net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund
for all remaining expenses after fee waivers which exceed 0.92% of
average daily net assets on an annual basis. The management fee waivers
and reimbursements are intended to be in effect for 1999, but may be
revised or eliminated at any time thereafter without notice to
shareholders. Absent the waiver, the management fee would have been
0.78%, and total Fund expenses would have been 1.61% of average daily
net assets.
<F6> The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.95%
management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount
by which the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 1.25% of the Fund's
average daily net assets on an annual basis, and to reimburse the Fund
for all remaining expenses after fee waivers which exceed 1.25% of
average daily net assets on an annual basis. The management fee waivers
and reimbursements are intended to be in effect for 1999, but may be
revised or eliminated at any time thereafter without notice to
shareholders. Absent the waiver, the management fee would have been
0.95%, other expenses would have been 1.27%, and total Fund expenses
would have been 2.22% of average daily net assets.

average daily net assets on an annual basis. The management fee waivers
and reimbursements are intended to be in effect for 1999, but may be

shareholders. Absent the waiver, the management fee would have been
0.95%, other expenses would have been 2.70%, and total Fund expenses
would have been 3.65% of average daily net assets.
<F8> The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its 0.60%
management fee, up to the full amount of that fee, equal to the amount
by which the Fund's total operating expenses exceed 0.80% of the Fund's

</TABLE>
PREMIUMS. Within limits, you decide how much money you want to put into
the policy. There is a minimum premium that you have to pay to put the
policy in force. That amount is 1/12 of the "minimum initial annual
premium amount" shown on the specifications page of your policy.
After the policy is in force, you may pay any amount you want as long as
the cash value is always enough to cover the surrender charge and the
current month's expenses. If you continue to pay at least 1/12 of the
minimum initial annual premium each month (or to prepay it), and if you
don't withdraw or borrow cash from the policy, we guarantee that the
policy will not lapse during the first five policy years, even if the
cash value is not enough to cover the charges.
If you have borrowed or withdrawn money from your cash value, you can
still keep your no-lapse guarantee in force for the first five years.
Here is how it works. Each month, we look at the total amount of
premium that you have paid into the policy since it was issued. We then
subtract the amount of money that you have withdrawn or borrowed. If
the amount left is at least equal to 1/12 of the annual minimum premium,
multiplied by the number of months the policy has been in force, then
your no-lapse guarantee still applies. If not, then we will notify you
that you have 62 days to make enough of a premium payment to restore the
no-lapse guarantee. If you do not make the payment, your policy could
lapse, or end with no value.
If you have converted a General American term insurance policy to this
policy, and if the term policy includes conversion credits, you may
apply those credits to reduce your first-year minimum premium.
You can set up a schedule of payments, and we will send you reminders,
but you are not required to make the payments as long as the cash value
covers the surrender charge and the current month's expenses. (See
Payment and Allocation of Premiums.)
DEATH BENEFIT. If both of the person insured under the policy die while
the policy is in force, we will pay a death benefit to the beneficiary
following the second death. You can select one of three death benefits
at the time the policy is issued:
* Option A: The death benefit is the greater of the face amount of
the policy or an "applicable percentage" of the cash value.
* Option B: The death benefit is the greater of the face amount of
the policy plus the cash value, or an "applicable percentage" of
the cash value.
* Option C: The death benefit is the greater of the face amount of
the policy, or the cash value multiplied by an attained age
factor.
As long as the policy remains in force and the younger person insured is
less than 100 years old, the minimum death benefit under any death
benefit option will be at least the current face amount.
We will increase the death benefit by any dividends earned prior to the
death of the second person insured, and by the cost of insurance from
the date of the second death to the end of the month, and will reduce it
by any outstanding loans and interest. We will pay the death benefit
according to the settlement options available at the time of death.
(See Policy Benefits - Death Benefit.)
The minimum face amount at issue is generally $100,000 under our current
rules. Subject to certain restrictions, you may change the face amount
and the death benefit option. In certain cases we may require evidence
that the person insured under the policy is
8
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
still insurable. (See Change in Death Benefit Option, and Change In
Face Amount.)
You may include additional insurance benefits with your policy. These
are described under General Matters - Additional Insurance Benefits. If
you elect any additional benefits, we will deduct the charges for those
benefits from your Cash Value.
CASH VALUE. Your Policy has a cash value that is the total amount
credited to you in the separate account, the loan account, and the
general account. The cash value increases by the amount of net premium
payments, and decreases by partial withdrawals and expense charges for
the policy. It may either increase or decrease based on the investment
experience of the separate account divisions that you have selected.
(See Policy Benefits - Cash Value.)
There is no minimum guaranteed cash value.
POLICY LOANS. You may borrow against the cash value of your policy.
The loan value is the maximum amount that you may borrow. The loan
value is:
the cash value on the date we receive the loan request;
plus interest on the loan balance to the next anniversary date,
calculated at the guaranteed general account interest rate;
minus interest on the new loan to the next policy anniversary;
minus any loans and interest already outstanding;
minus any surrender charges;
minus monthly deductions to the next policy anniversary.
When you borrow against the policy, we will take the money from the
general account and the divisions of the separate account in proportion
to your balances in each account.
Loan interest is due at each policy anniversary If you don't pay the
loan interest, we will add it to the amount of the loan.
You may repay all or part of the loan at any time. When you make a loan
payment, we will put the money back into the general account or the
divisions of the separate account in the same percentages used them to
make the loan.
When we pay out the proceeds of your policy, either as a death benefit
or as a policy surrender, we will deduct any outstanding loans and
interest from the amount we pay. (See Policy Rights - Loans.)
Loans taken from or secured by a policy may have Federal income tax
consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)
SURRENDER, PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS, AND PRO-RATA SURRENDER. You may
surrender the policy at any time while it is in force. We will pay you
the cash surrender value, plus dividends (if any) earned prior to the
surrender.
After the first year you may request a partial withdrawal of your cash
surrender value. Normally, withdrawing a portion of your cash surrender
value will reduce your death benefit by the amount of the withdrawal.
However, if you have included the Anniversary Partial Withdrawal Rider
on your policy, you may withdraw a portion of your cash surrender value
without reducing the death benefit. Under this rider, there are limits
on how much you can withdraw, and the withdrawal must be at the policy
anniversary. You can find more information about the rider under
General Matters - Additional Insurance Benefits.
You may also request a pro-rata surrender of the policy, which allows
you to surrender part of the policy and keep the rest in force. You can
find more information under Policy Rights - Surrender, Partial
Withdrawals, and Pro-Rata Surrender.
A surrender, partial withdrawal, or Pro-Rata Surrender may have Federal
income tax consequences. We suggest that you discuss your situation
with a competent tax adviser before taking one of these steps. (See
Federal Tax Matters.)
ILLUSTRATIONS OF DEATH BENEFITS AND CASH SURRENDER VALUES. The death
benefit and cash surrender value of your policy will depend on how well
your investments perform. In Appendix A we have illustrated some sample
policies. Depending on the rate of return, the values may increase or
decrease. In order to help you to understand the cost of the policy, we
also show how your premium would grow if you simply invested it at 5%
interest, compounded annually.
If you surrender your policy in the first few years, the cash surrender
value that you receive may be low compared to what you would have
accumulated by investing the premiums at interest. In this case, the
insurance protection that you received while the policy was in force
will have been expensive.
We will provide you with an illustration showing projected future cash
values if you request it in
9
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
writing. We may charge a fee of up to $25 for preparing the illustration.
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE POLICY. If your policy was issued in a standard
premium class, then we believe that it qualifies as a life insurance
contract for Federal income tax purposes. However, if the policy was
issued on a substandard basis, it is not clear whether it will qualify
as a life insurance contract for tax purposes. The IRS has provided
very limited guidance in this area.
Assuming that the policy does qualify as a life insurance contract for
Federal income tax purposes, then we believe that the cash value should
be subject to the same tax treatment as the cash value of a conventional
fixed-benefit contract. This means that growth in the cash value will
not be taxed until you receive a distribution.
There are some actions that may trigger a tax. If you transfer
ownership to someone else, or if you surrender the policy or withdraw
cash from it, you may have to pay a tax. Similarly, if you let the
policy lapse while there is an outstanding loan, or if you exchange the
policy for another policy, you may owe a tax. (See Federal Tax
Matters.)
If you pay too much in premium, your policy may become a "modified
endowment contract." If that happens, then some pre-death distributions
of cash will be taxable income. If there is more cash value in the
policy that what you actually paid in premiums, you will taxed on the
excess in the year in which you receive a distribution. You may
withdraw the amount that you paid into the policy without being taxed,
but only after you have received the excess as taxable income. In
addition, any taxable distribution that you receive before age 59 1/2
will generally be subject to an additional 10% tax.
On the other hand, if the policy is not a modified endowment contract,
then distributions are normally treated first as a return of your "cost
basis," or investment in the contract. In this case, you may withdraw
up to the amount of the premiums you paid with no tax consequences.
After that, any additional distributions are treated as taxable income.
In addition, loans from the policy are not treated as distributions, so
they are not considered taxable income. Finally, if you policy is not a
modified endowment contract, neither distributions or loans are subject
to the 10% additional tax (See Federal Tax Matters.)
Please note that General American is neither a law firm nor a tax
adviser, so we cannot give you legal or tax advice. If you have
specific legal or tax questions, we suggest that you consult a qualified
professional in these fields.
DIVIDENDS. We do not expect to pay dividends on this Policy. (See
Dividends.)

THE COMPANY AND THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
THE COMPANY
General American Life Insurance Company ("General American" or "the
Company") was originally incorporated as a stock company in 1933. In
1936, General American initiated a program to convert to a mutual life
insurance company. In 1997, General American's policyholders approved a
reorganization of the Company into a mutual holding company structure
under which General American became a stock company wholly owned by
GenAmerica Corporation, an intermediate stock holding company.
GenAmerica is wholly owned by General American Mutual Holding Company, a
mutual holding company organized under Missouri law.
General American Mutual Holding Company ("GAMHC") has announced that it
is developing a plan under which it would convert from a mutual company
to a publicly-held stock company. Conversion to a stock company, or
"demutualization", would be subject to policyholder and regulatory
approval, as well as the satisfaction of certain other conditions.
Demutualization would not affect General American's contractual
obligations. If, and when, GAMHC adopts a conversion plan, information
about the plan will be made available to policyholders in accordance
with applicable law and regulations.
On January 28, 1999, the Board of General American Mutual Holding Company
instructed its management to develop a plan for demutualization and a
public offering of stock. Owners of variable life insurance contracts
issued by General American as of that date may be eligible for a
distribution of value in connection with such a demutualization when
and if it occurs.
General American is principally engaged in writing individual and group
life insurance policies and annuity contracts. As of December 31, 1998,
it had consolidated assets of approximately $29 billion. It is admitted
to do business in 49 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and
in ten Canadian provinces. The principal offices of General American
are located at 700 Market Street, St. Louis, Missouri 63101. The
mailing address of General American's service center ("the Home Office")
is P.O. Box 14490, St. Louis, Missouri 63178.
THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
General American Life Insurance Company Separate Account Eleven ("the
Separate Account") was established by General American as a separate
investment account on January 24, 1985 under Missouri law. The Separate
Account will receive and invest the Net Premiums paid under this Policy
and allocated to it. In addition, the Separate Account currently
receives and invests Net Premiums for other classes of flexible premium
variable life insurance policies and might do so for additional classes
in the future.
The Separate Account has been registered with the SEC as a unit
investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the 1940
Act") and meets the definition of a "separate account" under Federal
securities laws. Registration with the SEC does not involve supervision
of the management or investment practices or policies of the Separate
Account or General American by the SEC.
<PAGE>
The Separate Account currently is divided into twenty-four Divisions.
Divisions invest in corresponding Funds from one of seven open-end,
diversified management investment companies: (1) General American
Capital Company, (2) Russell Insurance Funds, (3) American Century
Variable Portfolios, (4) J.P. Morgan Series Trust II, (5)
12
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Variable Insurance Products Fund, (6) Variable Insurance Products Fund
II, and (7) Van Eck Worldwide Insurance Trust. Income and both realized
and unrealized gains or losses from the assets of each Division of the
Separate Account are credited to or charged against that Division
without regard to income, gains, or losses from any other Division of
the Separate Account or arising out of any other business General
American may conduct.
Although the assets of the Separate Account are the property of General
American, the assets in the Separate Account equal to the reserves and
other liabilities of the Separate Account are not chargeable with
liabilities arising out of any other business which General American may
conduct. The assets of the Separate Account are available to cover the
general liabilities of General American only to the extent that the
Separate Account's assets exceed its liabilities arising under the
Policies. From time to time, the Company may transfer to its General
Account any assets of the Separate Account that exceed the reserves and
the Policy liabilities of the Separate Account (which will always be at
least equal to the aggregate Policy value allocated to the Separate
Account under the Policies). Before making any such transfers, General
American will consider any possible adverse impact the transfer may have
on the Separate Account.
GENERAL AMERICAN CAPITAL COMPANY
General American Capital Company ("the Capital Company") is an open-end,
diversified management investment company which was incorporated in
Maryland on November 15, 1985, and commenced operations on October 1,
1987. Only the Funds described in this section of the Prospectus are
currently available as investment choices for this Policy even though
additional Funds may be described in the prospectus for the Capital
Company. Shares of Capital Company are currently offered to separate
accounts established by General American Life Insurance Company and
affiliates. The Capital Company's investment adviser is Conning Asset
Management Company ("the Advisor"), an indirect, majority-owned
subsidiary of General American. The adviser selects investments for the
Funds.
The investment objectives and policies of each Fund are summarized
below:
S&P 500 INDEX FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is to
provide investment results that parallel the price and yield
performance of publicly-traded common stocks in the aggregate.
The Fund uses the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500 Stocks
("the S&P Index") as its standard for performance comparison.
The Fund attempts to duplicate the performance of the S&P Index
and includes dividend income as a component of the Fund's total
return. The Fund is not managed by Standard & Poor's.
THE MONEY MARKET FUND: The investment objective of the Money
Market Fund is to obtain the highest level of current income which
is consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of
liquidity. The Fund invests primarily in high-quality, short-term
money market instruments. An investment in the Money Market Fund
is neither insured nor guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
BOND INDEX FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is to
provide a rate of return that reflects the performance of the
publicly-traded bond market as a whole. The Fund uses the Lehman
Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index as its standard for
performance comparison.
MANAGED EQUITY FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is
long-term growth of capital, obtained by investing primarily in
common stocks. Securing moderate current income is a secondary
objective.
ASSET ALLOCATION FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is a
high rate of long-term total return composed of capital growth and
income payments. Preservation of capital is the secondary
objective and chief limit on investment risk. The Fund will
invest only in those types of securities that the other Capital
Company Funds may invest in. The Asset Allocation Fund invests in
a combination of common stocks, bonds, or money market instruments
in accordance with guidelines established from time to time by
Capital Company's Board of Directors.
INTERNATIONAL INDEX FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is
to obtain investment results that parallel the price and yield
performance of publicly-traded common stocks in the Morgan Stanley
Capital International ("MSCI") Europe, Australia and Far East
Index ("EAFE").
MID-CAP EQUITY FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is
capital appreciation. It pursues this objective by investing
primarily in common stocks of United States-based, publicly
13
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
traded companies with medium market capitalizations falling within
the capitalization range of the S&P Mid-Cap 400 at the time of the
Fund's investment.
SMALL-CAP EQUITY FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is to
provide a rate of return that corresponds to the performance of
the common stock of small companies, while incurring a level of
risk that is generally equal to the risks associated with small
company common stock. The Fund attempts to duplicate the
performance of the smallest 20% of companies, based on
capitalization size, that are based in the United States and
listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").
RUSSELL INSURANCE FUNDS
Russell Insurance Funds ("RIF") is organized as a Massachusetts business
trust under a Master Trust Agreement dated July 11, 1996. RIF is
authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares evidencing beneficial
interests in different investment Funds, which interests may be offered
in one or more classes. RIF is a diversified open end management
investment company, commonly known as a "mutual fund." Frank Russell
Company, which is a consultant to RIF, has been primarily engaged since
1969 in providing asset management consulting services to large
corporate employee benefit funds. Major components of its consulting
services are: (i) quantitative and qualitative research and evaluation
aimed at identifying the most appropriate investment management firms to
invest large pools of assets in accord with specific investment
objectives and styles; and (ii) the development of strategies for
investing assets using "multi-style, multi-manager diversification."
This is a method for investing large pools of assets by dividing the
assets into segments to be invested using different investment styles,
and selecting money managers for each segment based upon their expertise
in that style of investment. General management of RIF is provided by
Frank Russell Investment Management Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Frank Russell Company, which furnishes officers and staff required to
manage and administer RIF on a day-to-day basis.
The investment objectives and policies of each Fund are summarized
below:
MULTI-STYLE EQUITY FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is
to provide income and capital growth by investing principally in
equity securities.
AGGRESSIVE EQUITY FUND: This Fund seeks to provide capital
appreciation by assuming a higher level of volatility than is
ordinarily expected from the Multi-Style Equity Fund while still
investing in equity securities.
NON-U.S. FUND: This Fund's objective is to provide favorable total
return and additional diversification for U.S. investors by
investing primarily in equity and fixed-income securities of
non-U.S. companies, and securities issued by non-U.S.
governments.
CORE BOND FUND: This Fund's objective is to maximize total return,
through capital appreciation and income, by assuming a level of
volatility consistent with the broad fixed-income market. The
Fund invests in fixed-income securities.
AMERICAN CENTURY VARIABLE PORTFOLIOS
American Century Variable Portfolios, Inc., a part of American Century
Investments, was organized as a Maryland corporation on June 4, 1987.
It is a diversified, open-end management investment company. Its
business and affairs are managed by its officers under the Direction of
its Board of Directors. American Century Investment Management, Inc.
serves as the investment manager of the fund.
The investment objective and policies of the Funds are summarized below:
INCOME & GROWTH FUND: The investment objective of this Fund is to
attain long-term growth of capital as well as current income. The
Fund pursues a total return and dividend yield that exceed those
of the S&P 500 by investing in stocks of companies with strong
dividend growth potential. Dividends are paid monthly.
INTERNATIONAL FUND: This Fund seeks capital growth over time by
investing in common stocks of foreign companies considered to have
better-than-average prospects for appreciation. Because the Fund
invests in foreign securities, a higher degree of short-term price
volatility, or risk, is expected due to factors such as currency
fluctuation and political instability.
VALUE FUND: This Fund is a core equity fund that seeks long-term
capital growth. Income is a secondary objective. To pursue its
objectives, the fund invests primarily in equity securities of
well-established companies that are believed by management to be
undervalued at the time of
14

purchase. Please note that this is an equity investment and, by
nature, may fluctuate in value.
J.P. MORGAN SERIES TRUST II
J.P. Morgan Series Trust II is an open-end diversified management
investment company organized as a Delaware Business Trust. The Trust's
investment adviser is J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc., a
registered investment adviser and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P.
Morgan & Co., Incorporated, a bank holding company organized under the
laws of Delaware.
The investment objective and policies of the Funds are summarized below:
BOND PORTFOLIO: This Fund seeks to provide a high total return
consistent with moderate risk of capital and maintenance of
liquidity. The Fund is designed for investors who seek a total
return over time that is higher than that generally available from
a portfolio of short-term obligations while acknowledging the
greater price fluctuation of longer-term instruments.
SMALL COMPANY PORTFOLIO: The investment objective of this Fund is
to provide high total return from a portfolio of equity securities
of small companies. The Fund invests at least 65% of the value of
its total assets in the common stock of small U.S. Companies
primarily with market capitalizations less than $1 billion. The
Fund is designed for investors who are willing to assume the
somewhat higher risk of investing in small companies in order to
seek a higher return over time than might be expected from a
portfolio of stocks of large companies.
VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND
Variable Insurance Products Fund ("VIP") is an open-end, diversified
management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business
trust on November 13, 1981. Only the Funds described in this section of
the Prospectus are currently available as investment choices for this
Policy even though additional Funds may be described in the prospectus
for VIP. VIP shares are purchased by insurance companies to fund
benefits under variable insurance and annuity policies. Fidelity
Management & Research Company ("FMR") of Boston, Massachusetts is the
Funds' Manager.
The investment objectives and policies of each Fund are summarized
below:
EQUITY-INCOME PORTFOLIO: The investment objective of this Fund is
income, obtained by investing primarily in income-producing equity
securities. In choosing these securities, FMR will also consider
the potential for capital appreciation. The Fund's goal is to
achieve a yield which exceeds the composite yield on the
securities comprising the Standard & Poor's Composite Index of 500
Stocks.
GROWTH PORTFOLIO: The investment objective of this Fund is capital
appreciation. The Fund normally purchases common stocks, although
its investments are not restricted to any one type of security.
Capital appreciation may also be obtained from other types of
securities, including bonds and preferred stocks.
OVERSEAS PORTFOLIO: The investment objective of this Fund is long-
term growth of capital. The Fund invests primarily in foreign
securities. The Overseas Portfolio provides a means for investors
to diversify their own portfolios by participation in companies
and economies outside of the United States.
HIGH INCOME PORTFOLIO: The investment objective of this Fund is a
high level of current income. The Fund seeks to fulfill the
objective by investing primarily in high-yielding, lower-rated,
fixed-income securities, while also considering growth of capital.
Lower-rated securities, commonly referred to as "junk bonds,"
involve greater risk of default or price change than securities
assigned a higher quality rating.
VARIABLE INSURANCE PRODUCTS FUND II
Variable Insurance Products Fund II ("VIP II") is an open-end,
diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts
business trust on March 21, 1988. Only the Fund described in this
section of the Prospectus is currently available as an investment choice
for this Policy even though additional Funds may be described in the
prospectus for VIP II. VIP II shares are purchased by insurance
companies to fund benefits under variable insurance and annuity
policies. FMR is the Fund's manager.
The investment objective and policies of the Funds are summarized below:
ASSET MANAGER: The investment objective of this Fund is to seek a
high total return with reduced risk over the long-term by
allocating its
15
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
assets among domestic and foreign stocks, bonds, and short-term
fixed income instruments.
VAN ECK WORLDWIDE INSURANCE TRUST
Van Eck Worldwide Insurance Trust ("Van Eck") is an open-end management
investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust on
January 7, 1987. Only the Funds described in this section of the
Prospectus is currently available as an investment choice for this
Policy even though additional Funds may be described in the prospectus
for Van Eck. Shares of Van Eck are offered only to separate accounts of
various insurance companies to support benefits of variable insurance
and annuity policies. The assets of Van Eck are managed by Van Eck
Associates Corporation of New York, New York.
The investment objectives and policies of the Fund are summarized below:
WORLDWIDE HARD ASSETS FUND: The investment objective of the Fund
is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing in equity
and debt securities of companies engaged in the exploration,
development, production, and distribution of one or more of the
following: (i) precious metals, (ii) ferrous and non-ferrous
metals, (iii) oil and gas, (iv) forest products, (v) real estate,
and (vi) other basic non-agricultural commodities (together, "Hard
Assets"). Current income is not an objective.
WORLDWIDE EMERGING MARKETS FUND: The investment objective of this
Fund is to obtain long-term capital appreciation by investing in
equity securities in emerging markets around the world. The Fund
emphasizes primarily investment in countries that, compared to the
world's major economies, exhibit relatively low gross national
product per capita, as well as the potential for rapid economic
growth.
THERE IS NO ASSURANCE THAT ANY OF THE FUNDS WILL ACHIEVE ITS STATED
OBJECTIVE. It is conceivable that in the future it may be
disadvantageous for Funds to offer shares to separate accounts of
various insurance companies to serve as the investment medium for their
variable products or for both variable life and annuity separate
accounts to invest simultaneously in a Fund. The Boards of Trustees
of RIF, VIP, VIP II, and Van Eck, the Boards of Directors of Capital
Company, American Century, and J.P. Morgan, the respective Advisors
of each Fund, and the Company and any other insurance companies
participating in the Funds are required to monitor events to identify
any material irreconcilable conflicts that may possibly arise, and to
determine what action, if any, should be taken in response to those
events or conflicts. A more detailed description of the Funds, their
investment policies, restrictions, risks, and charges is in the
prospectuses for each Fund, which must accompany or precede this
Prospectus and which should be read carefully.
ADDITION, DELETION, OR SUBSTITUTION OF INVESTMENTS
The Company reserves the right, subject to compliance with applicable
law, to make additions to, deletions from, or substitutions for the
shares that are held by the Separate Account or that the Separate
Account may purchase. The Company reserves the right to eliminate the
shares of any of the Funds and to substitute shares of another Fund of
Capital Company, RIF, VIP, VIP II, Van Eck, American Century, J.P.
Morgan or of another registered open-end investment company if the
shares of a Fund are no longer available for investment or if in its
judgment further investment in any Fund becomes inappropriate in view of
the purposes of the Separate Account. The Company will not substitute
any shares attributable to an Owner's interest in a Division of the
Separate Account without notice to the Owner and prior approval of the
SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.
Nothing contained in this Prospectus shall prevent the Separate Account
from purchasing other securities for other series or classes of
policies, or from permitting a conversion between series or classes of
policies on the basis of requests made by Owners.
The Company also reserves the right to establish additional Divisions of
the Separate Account, each of which would invest in a new Fund with a
specified investment objective. New Divisions may be established when,
in the sole discretion of the Company, marketing needs or investment
conditions warrant. Any new Division will be made available to existing
Owners on a basis to be determined by the Company. To the extent
approved by the SEC, the Company may also eliminate or combine one or
more Divisions, substitute one Division for another Division, or
transfer assets between Divisions if, in its sole discretion, marketing,
tax, or investment conditions warrant.
In the event of a substitution or change, the Company may, if it
considers it necessary, make such changes in the Policy by appropriate
endorsement and offer conversion options required by law, if any. The
Company will notify all Owners of any such changes.
16
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
If deemed by the Company to be in the best interests of persons having
voting rights under the Policy, and to the extent any necessary SEC
approvals or Owner votes are obtained, the Separate Account may be: (a)
operated as a management company under the 1940 Act; (b) de-registered
under that Act in the event such registration is no longer required; or
(c) combined with other separate accounts of the Company. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, the Company may also transfer the assets of
the Separate Account associated with the Policy to another separate
account.
POLICY BENEFITS
DEATH BENEFIT
As long as the Policy remains in force (See Payment and Allocation of
Premiums - Policy Lapse and Reinstatement), the Company will, upon
receipt at its Home Office of proof of the Last Insured's death, pay the
death benefit in a lump sum. The amount of the death benefit payable
will be determined at the end of the Valuation Period during which the
Last Insured's death occurred. The death benefit will be paid to the
surviving Beneficiary or Beneficiaries specified in the application or
as subsequently changed.
The Policy provides three death benefit options: "Death Benefit Option
A," "Death Benefit Option B," and "Death Benefit Option C." The death
benefit under all options will never be less than the current Face
Amount of the Policy (less Indebtedness) as long as the Policy remains
in force. (See Payment and Allocation of Premiums - Policy Lapse and
Reinstatement.) The current minimum Face Amount is generally $100,000.
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION A. Under Death Benefit Option A, the death benefit
until the younger Insured reaches Attained Age 100 is the current Face
Amount of the Policy or, if greater, the applicable percentage of Cash
Value on the date of death. At the younger Insured's Attained Age 100
and above, the death benefit is 101% of the Cash Value. The applicable
percentage is 250% for a younger Insured reaching Attained Age 40 or
below on the Policy Anniversary prior to the date of death. For younger
Insureds with an Attained Age over 40 on that Policy Anniversary, the
percentage is lower and declines with age as shown in the Applicable
Percentage of Cash Value Table shown below. Accordingly, under Death
Benefit Option A the death benefit will remain level at the Face Amount
unless the applicable percentage of Cash Value exceeds the current Face
Amount, in which case the amount of the death benefit will vary as the
Cash Value varies. (See Illustrations of Death Benefits and Cash
Values, Appendix A.)
DEATH BENEFIT OPTION B. Under Death Benefit Option B, the death benefit
until the younger Insured reaches Attained Age 100 is equal to the
current Face Amount plus the Cash Value of the Policy on the date of
death or, if greater, the applicable percentage of the Cash Value on the
date of death. At the younger Insured's Attained Age 100 and above, the
death benefit is 101% of the Cash Value. The applicable percentage is
the same as under Death Benefit Option A: 250% for a younger Insured
Attained Age 40 or below on the Policy Anniversary prior to the date of
death, and for younger Insureds with an Attained Age over 40 on that
Policy Anniversary the percentage declines as shown in the Applicable
Percentage of Cash Value Table shown below. Accordingly, under Death
Benefit Option B the amount of the death benefit will always vary as the
Cash Value varies (but will never be less than the Face Amount). (See
Illustrations of Death Benefits and Cash Values, Appendix A.)

DEATH BENEFIT OPTION C. Under Death Benefit Option C, the death benefit
is equal to the current Face Amount of the Policy or, if greater, the
Cash Value on the date of death multiplied by the "Attained Age factor"
for the younger Insured (a list of sample Attained Age factors is shown
in the Sample Attained Age Factor Table below). At the younger
Insured's Attained Age 100 and above, the death benefit is 101% of the
Cash Value. Accordingly, under Death Benefit Option C the death benefit
will remain level at the Face Amount unless the Cash Value multiplied by
the younger Insured's Attained Age factor exceeds the current Face
17

Amount, in which case the amount of the death benefit will vary as the

CHANGES IN DEATH BENEFIT OPTION. If the Policy was issued with either
Death Benefit Option A or Death Benefit Option B, the death benefit
option may be changed. A request for change must be made to the Company
in writing. The effective date of such a change will be the Monthly
Anniversary on or following the date the Company receives the change
request. A change in death benefit option may have Federal income tax
consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)
A Death Benefit Option A Policy may be changed to have Death Benefit
Option B. The Face Amount will be decreased to equal the death benefit
less the Cash Value on the effective date of change. A Death Benefit
Option B Policy may be changed to have Death Benefit Option A. The Face
Amount will be increased to equal the death benefit on the effective
date of change. A Policy issued under Death Benefit Option C may not
change to either Death Benefit Option A or Death Benefit Option B for
the entire lifetime of the Contract. Similarly, a Policy issued under
either Death Benefit Option A or B may not change to Death Benefit
Option C for the lifetime of the Policy.
Satisfactory evidence of insurability must be submitted to the Company
in connection with a request for a change from Death Benefit Option A to
Death Benefit Option B. A change may not be made if it would result in
a Face Amount of less than the minimum Face Amount.
A change in death benefit option will not in itself result in an
immediate change in the amount of a Policy's death benefit or Cash
Value. (See Monthly Deduction - Cost of Insurance.)
REDUCTION IN FACE AMOUNT. Subject to certain limitations set forth
below, an Owner may decrease (but not increase) the Face Amount of a
Policy once each Policy Year, but not before the first Policy
Anniversary. A written request is required for a reduction in the Face
Amount. A reduction in Face Amount may affect the cost of insurance
rate and the net amount at risk, both of which affect an Owner's cost of
insurance charge. (See Monthly Deduction - Cost of Insurance.) A
reduction in the Face Amount of a Policy may have Federal income tax
consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)
Any decrease in the Face Amount will become effective on the Monthly
Anniversary on or following receipt of the written request by the
Company. The amount of the requested decrease must be at least $5,000
($2,000 for policies issued in qualified pension plans) and the Face
Amount remaining in force after any requested decrease may not be less
than minimum Face Amount. If following a decrease in Face Amount, the
Policy would not comply with the maximum premium limitations required by
Federal tax law (see Payment and Allocation of Premiums), the decrease
may be limited or Cash Value may be returned to the Owner (at the
Owner's election), to the extent necessary to meet these requirements.
(See Monthly Deduction - Cost of Insurance; and Charges and Deductions -
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.)
<PAGE>
PAYMENT OF THE DEATH BENEFIT. The death benefit under the Policy will
ordinarily be paid in a lump sum within seven days after the Company
receives all documentation required for such a payment. Payment may,
however, be postponed in certain circumstances. (See General Matters -
Postponement of Payment from the Separate Account.) The death benefit
will be increased by any unpaid dividends determined prior to the Last
Insured's death, and by the amount of the monthly cost of insurance for
the portion of the month from the date of death to the end of the month,
and reduced by any outstanding Indebtedness. (See General Matters -
Additional Insurance Benefits, Dividends, and Charges and Deductions.)
The Company will pay interest on the death benefit from the date of the
Last Insured's death to the date of payment. Interest will be at an
annual rate determined by the Company, but will never be
18
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
less than the guaranteed rate of 4%. Provisions for settlement of
proceeds other than a lump sum payment may only be made upon written
agreement with the Company.
CASH VALUE
The Cash Value of the Policy is equal to the total of the amounts
credited to the Owner in the Separate Account, the Loan Account
(securing Policy Loans), and, in certain contracts, the General Account.
The Policy's Cash Value in the Separate Account will reflect the
investment performance of the chosen Divisions of the Separate Account
as measured by each Division's Net Investment Factor (defined below),
the frequency and amount of Net Premiums paid, transfers, partial
withdrawals, loans and the charges assessed in connection with the
Policy. An Owner may at any time surrender the Policy and receive the
Policy's Cash Surrender Value. (See Policy Rights - Surrender, Partial
Withdrawals, and Pro-Rata Surrender.) The Policy's Cash Value in the
Separate Account equals the sum of the Policy's Cash Values in each
Division. There is no guaranteed minimum Cash Value.
DETERMINATION OF CASH VALUE. For each Division of the Separate Account,
the Cash Value is determined on each Valuation Date. On the Investment
Start Date, the Cash Value in a Division will equal the portion of any
Net Premium allocated to the Division, reduced by the portion allocated
to that Division of the monthly deduction(s) due from the Issue Date
through the Investment Start Date. (See Payment and Allocation of
Premiums.) Thereafter, on each Valuation Date, the Cash Value in a
Division of the Separate Account will equal:
(1) The Cash Value in the Division on the preceding Valuation
Date, multiplied by the Division's Net Investment Factor (defined
below) for the current Valuation Period; plus
(2) Any Net Premium payments received during the current
Valuation Period which are allocated to the Division; plus
(3) Any loan repayments allocated to the Division during the
current Valuation Period; plus
(4) Any amounts transferred to the Division from the General
Account or from another Division during the current Valuation
Period; plus
(5) That portion of the interest credited on outstanding loans
which is allocated to the Division during the current Valuation
Period; minus
(6) Any amounts transferred from the Division to the General
Account, Loan Account, or to another Division during the current
Valuation Period (including any transfer charges); minus
(7) Any partial withdrawals from the Division during the current
Valuation Period; minus
(8) Any withdrawal due to a Pro-Rata Surrender from the Division
during the current Valuation Period; minus
(9) Any withdrawal or surrender charges incurred during the
current Valuation Period attributed to the Division in connection
with a partial withdrawal or Pro-Rata Surrender; minus
(10) If a Monthly Anniversary occurs during the current Valuation
Period, the portion of the monthly deduction allocated to the
Division during the current Valuation Period to cover the Policy
Month which starts during that Valuation Period (See Charges and
Deductions.); plus
(11) If a Policy Anniversary occurs during the current Valuation
Period, the portion of the dividend paid, if any, allocated to the
Division.
NET INVESTMENT FACTOR: The Net Investment Factor measures the
investment performance of a Division during a Valuation Period. The Net
Investment Factor for each Division for a Valuation period is calculated
as follows:
(1) The value of the assets at the end of the preceding
Valuation Period; plus
(2) The investment income and capital gains, realized or
unrealized, credited to the assets in the Valuation Period for
which the Net Investment Factor is being determined; minus
(3) The capital losses, realized or unrealized, charged against
those assets during the Valuation Period; minus
(4) Any amount charged against each Division for taxes,
including any tax or other economic burden resulting from the
application of the tax laws determined by the Company to be
properly attributable to the Divisions of the Separate Account, or
any amount set aside during the
19
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Valuation Period as a reserve for taxes attributable to the
operation or maintenance of each Division; minus
(5) A charge equal to a percentage of the average net assets for
each day in the Valuation Period. This charge, for mortality and
expense risks, is determined by the length of time the policy has
been in force. It will not exceed the amounts shown in the
following table:
Policy Percentage of Effective
Years Avg. Net Assets Annual Rate
1-10 0.0015027 0.55%
11-20 0.0012301 0.45%
21+ 0.0009572 0.35%;
divided by
(6) The value of the assets at the end of the preceding
Valuation Period.
POLICY RIGHTS
LOANS
LOAN PRIVILEGES. The Owner may, by written request to General American,
borrow an amount up to the Loan Value of the Policy, with the Policy
serving as sole security for such loan. A loan taken from, or secured
by, a Policy may have Federal income tax consequences. (See Federal Tax
Matters.)
The Loan Value is the Cash Value of the Policy on the date the loan
request is received, less interest to the next loan interest due date,
less anticipated monthly deductions to the next loan interest due date,
less any existing loan, less any surrender charge, plus interest
expected to be earned on the loan balance to the next loan interest due
date. Policy Loan interest is payable on each Policy Anniversary.
The minimum amount that may be borrowed is $500. The loan may be
completely or partially repaid at any time while the Insured is living.
Any amount due to an Owner under a Policy Loan ordinarily will be paid
within seven days after General American receives the loan request at
its Home Office, although payments may be postponed under certain
circumstances. (See General Matters-Postponement of Payments from the
Separate Account.)
When a Policy Loan is made, Cash Value equal to the amount of the loan
plus interest due will be transferred to the Loan Account as security
for the loan. A Loan Subaccount exists within the Loan Account for the
General Account and each Division of the Separate Account. Amounts
transferred to the Loan Account to secure Indebtedness are allocated to
the appropriate Loan Subaccount to reflect its origin. Unless the Owner
requests a different allocation, amounts will be transferred from the
Divisions of the Separate Account and the General Account in the same
proportion that the Policy's Cash Value in each Division and the General
Account, if any, bears to the Policy's total Cash Value, less the Cash
Value in the Loan Account, at the end of the Valuation Period during
which the request for a Policy Loan is received. This will reduce the
Policy's Cash Value in the General Account and Separate Account. These
transactions will not be considered transfers for purposes of the
limitations on transfers between Divisions or to or from the General
Account.
Cash Value in the Loan Account is expected to earn interest at a rate
("the earnings rate") which is lower than the rate charged on the Policy
Loan ("the borrowing rate"). Cash Value in the Loan Account will accrue
interest daily at an annual earnings rate of 4%.
Interest credited on the Cash Value held in the Loan Account will be
allocated on Policy Anniversaries to the General Account and the
Divisions of the Separate Account in the same proportion that the Cash
Value in each Loan Subaccount bears to the Cash Value in the Loan
Account. The interest credited will also be transferred: (1) when a new
loan is made; (2) when a loan is partially or fully repaid; and (3) when
an amount is needed to meet a monthly deduction.
INTEREST CHARGED. The borrowing rate we charge for Policy Loan interest
will be based on the following schedule:
FOR LOANS ANNUAL
OUTSTANDING DURING INTEREST RATE
Policy Years 1-10 4.50%
Policy Years 11-20 4.25%
Policy Years 21+ 4.15%
General American will inform the Owner of the current borrowing rate
when a Policy Loan is requested.
Policy Loan interest is due and payable annually on each Policy
Anniversary. If the Owner does not pay the interest when it is due, the
unpaid loan interest will be added to the outstanding Indebtedness as of
the due date and will be charged interest at the same rate as the rest
of the Indebtedness. (See Effect of Policy Loans below.) The amount of
Policy Loan interest which is transferred to the Loan Account will be
deducted from the Divisions of the Separate Account and from the General
Account in the same proportion that the portion of the Cash Value in
each
20
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Division and in the General Account, respectively, bears to the total
Cash Value of the Policy minus the Cash Value in the Loan Account.
EFFECT OF POLICY LOANS. Whether or not a Policy Loan is repaid, it will
permanently affect the Cash Value of a Policy, and may permanently
affect the amount of the death benefit. The collateral for the loan
(the amount held in the Loan Account) does not participate in the
performance of the Separate Account while the loan is outstanding. If
the Loan Account earnings rate is less than the investment performance
of the selected Division(s), the Cash Value of the Policy will be lower
as a result of the Policy Loan. Conversely, if the Loan Account
earnings rate is higher than the investment performance of the
Division(s), the Cash Value may be higher.
In addition, if the Indebtedness (See Definitions) exceeds the Cash
Value minus the surrender charge on any Monthly Anniversary, the Policy
will lapse, subject to a grace period. (See Payment and Allocation of
Premiums - Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.) A sufficient payment must
be made within the later of the grace period of 62 days from the Monthly
Anniversary immediately before the date Indebtedness exceeds the Cash
Value less any surrender charges, or 31 days after notice that a Policy
will terminate unless a sufficient payment has been mailed, or the
Policy will lapse and terminate without value. A lapsed Policy,
however, may later be reinstated subject to certain limitations. (See
Payment and Allocation of Premiums - Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.)
Any outstanding Indebtedness will be deducted from the proceeds payable
upon the death of the Last Insured or the surrender of the Policy. Upon
a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the amount received plus
the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total investment in
the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as ordinary income
subject to tax. (See Federal Tax Matters.)
REPAYMENT OF INDEBTEDNESS. A Policy Loan may be repaid in whole or in
part at any time prior to the death of the Last Insured and as long as a
Policy is in force. When a loan repayment is made, an amount securing
the Indebtedness in the Loan Account equal to the loan repayment will be
transferred to the Divisions of the Separate Account and the General
Account in the same proportion that the Cash Value in each Loan
Subaccount bears to Cash Value in the Loan Account. Amounts paid while
a Policy Loan is outstanding will be treated as premiums unless the
Owner requests in writing that they be treated as repayment of
Indebtedness.
SURRENDER, PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND PRO-RATA SURRENDER
At any time during the lifetime of the Last Insured and while a Policy
is in force, the Owner may surrender the Policy by sending a written
request to the Company. After the first Policy Year, an Owner may make
a partial withdrawal by sending a written request to the Company. The
amount available for surrender is the Cash Surrender Value at the end of
the Valuation Period during which the surrender request is received at
the Company's Home Office. Amounts payable from the Separate Account
upon surrender, partial withdrawal, or a Pro-Rata Surrender will
ordinarily be paid within seven days of receipt of the written request.
(See General Matters - Postponement of Payments from the Separate
Account.)
SURRENDERS. To effect a surrender, either the Policy itself must be
returned to the Company along with the request, or the request must be
accompanied by a completed affidavit of loss, which is available from
the Company. Upon surrender, the Company will pay the Cash Surrender
Value plus any unpaid dividends determined prior to surrender (See
Dividends) to the Owner in a single sum. The Cash Surrender Value
equals the Cash Value on the date of surrender, less any Indebtedness,
and less any surrender charge. (See Charges and Deductions - Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge.) The Company will determine the Cash Surrender
Value as of the date that an Owner's written request is received at the
Company's Home Office. If the request is received on a Monthly
Anniversary, the monthly deduction otherwise deductible will be included
in the amount paid. Coverage under a Policy will terminate as of the
date of surrender. The Last Insured must be living at the time of a
surrender. A surrender may have Federal income tax consequences. (See
Federal Tax Matters.)
PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS. After the first Policy Year, an Owner may make
partial withdrawals from the Policy's Cash Surrender Value. There is no
transaction charge for the first twelve partial withdrawals or requested
transfers in a Policy Year. General American will impose a charge of
$25 for each partial withdrawal or requested transfer in excess of
twelve in a Policy Year. A partial withdrawal may have Federal income
tax consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)
21<PAGE>
<PAGE>
The minimum amount of a partial withdrawal request, net of any
applicable surrender charges, is the lesser of a) $500 from a Division
of the Separate Account, or b) the Policy's Cash Value in a Division.
(See Charges and Deductions - Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.) Partial
withdrawals made during a Policy Year may not exceed the following
limits. The maximum amount that may be withdrawn from a Division of the
Separate Account is the Policy's Cash Value net of any applicable
surrender charges in that Division. The total partial withdrawals and
transfers from the General Account over the Policy Year may not exceed a
maximum amount equal to the greatest of the following: (1) 25% of the
Cash Surrender Value in the General Account at the beginning of the
Policy Year, multiplied by the withdrawal percentage limit shown in the
policy, or (2) the previous Policy Year's maximum amount.
The Owner may allocate the amount withdrawn plus any applicable
surrender charge, subject to the above conditions, among the Divisions
of the Separate Account and the General Account. If no allocation is
specified, then the partial withdrawal will be allocated among the
Divisions of the Separate Account and the General Account in the same
proportion that the Policy's Cash Value in each Division and the General
Account bears to the total Cash Value of the Policy, less the Cash Value
in the Loan Account, on the date the request for the partial withdrawal
is received. If the limitations on withdrawals from the General Account
will not permit this proportionate allocation, the Owner will be
requested to provide an alternate allocation. (See The General
Account.)
No amount may be withdrawn that would result in there being insufficient
Cash Value to meet any surrender charge that would be payable immediately
following the withdrawal upon the surrender of the remaining Cash Value.
The death benefit will be affected by a partial withdrawal, unless Death
Benefit Option A or Option C is in effect and the withdrawal is made
under the terms of an anniversary partial withdrawal rider. (See General
Matters - Additional Insurance Benefits.) If Death Benefit Option A or
Death Benefit Option C is in effect and the death benefit equals the
Face Amount, then a partial withdrawal will decrease the Face Amount by
an amount equal to the partial withdrawal plus the applicable surrender
charge resulting from that partial withdrawal. If the death benefit is
based on a percentage of the Cash Value, then a partial withdrawal will
decrease the Face Amount by an amount by which the partial withdrawal
plus the applicable surrender charge exceeds the difference between the
death benefit and the Face Amount. If Death Option B is in effect, the
Face Amount will not change.
The Face Amount remaining in force after a partial withdrawal may not be
less than the minimum Face Amount. Any request for a partial withdrawal
that would reduce the Face Amount below this amount will not be
implemented.
Partial withdrawals may affect the way in which the cost of insurance
charge is calculated and the amount of pure insurance protection
afforded under a Policy. (See Monthly Deduction - Cost of Insurance.)
The Company may change the minimum amount required for a partial
withdrawal or the number of times partial withdrawals may be made.
PRO-RATA SURRENDER. After the first Policy Year, an Owner can make a
Pro-Rata Surrender of the Policy. The Pro-Rata Surrender will reduce
the Face Amount and the Cash Value by a percentage chosen by the Owner.
This percentage must be any whole number. A Pro-Rata Surrender may have
Federal income tax consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.) The
percentage will be applied to the Face Amount and the Cash Value on the
Monthly Anniversary on or following our receipt of the request.
The Owner may allocate the amount of decrease in Cash Value plus any
applicable surrender charge among the Divisions of the Separate Account
and the General Account. (See Charges and Deductions - Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge.) If no allocation is specified, then the decrease
in Cash Value and any applicable surrender charge will be allocated
among the Divisions of the Separate Account and the General Account in
the same proportion that the Policy's Cash Value in each Division and
the General Account bears to the total Cash Value of the Policy, less
the Cash Value in the Loan Account, on the date the request for Pro-Rata
Surrender is received.
A Pro-Rata Surrender can not be processed if it will reduce the Face
Amount below the minimum Face Amount of the Policy. No Pro-Rata
Surrender will be processed for more Cash Surrender Value than is
available on the date of the Pro-Rata Surrender. A cash payment will be
made to the Owner for the amount of Cash Value reduction less any
applicable surrender charges.
Pro-Rata Surrenders may affect the way in which the cost of insurance
charge is calculated and the amount of the pure insurance protection
afforded under the Policy. (See Monthly Deduction - Cost of
Insurance.) Pro-Rata Surrender
22
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
CHARGES ON SURRENDER, PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND PRO-RATA SURRENDER. If a
Policy is surrendered within the first ten Policy Years, the Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge will apply. (See Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge.)
A partial withdrawal or Pro-Rata Surrender may also result in a
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. The amount of the charge assessed is
a portion of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge that would be deducted
upon surrender or lapse. Charges are described in more detail under
Charges and Deductions - Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.
While partial withdrawals and Pro-Rata Surrenders are each methods of
reducing a Policy's Cash Value, a Pro-Rata Surrender differs from a
partial withdrawal in that a partial withdrawal does not typically have
a proportionate effect on a Policy's death benefit by reducing the
Policy's Face Amount, while a Pro-Rata Surrender does. Assuming that a
Policy's death benefit is not a percentage of the Policy's Cash Value, a
Pro-Rata Surrender will reduce the Policy's death benefit in the same
proportion that the Policy's Cash Value is reduced, while a partial
withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by one dollar for each dollar
of Cash Value withdrawn. Partial Withdrawals and Pro-Rata Surrenders
will also result in there being different cost of insurance charges
subsequently deducted. (See Monthly Deduction - Cost of Insurance;
Surrender, Partial Withdrawals and Pro-Rata Surrender - Partial
Withdrawals; and Surrenders, Partial Withdrawals, and Pro-Rata
Surrenders-Pro-Rata Surrender.)
TRANSFERS
Under General American's current practices, a Policy's Cash Value,
except amounts credited to the Loan Account, may be transferred among
the Divisions of the Separate Account and for certain contracts, between
the General Account and the Divisions. Transfers to and from the
General Account are subject to restrictions (See The General Account).
Requests for transfers from or among Divisions of the Separate Account
may be made in writing or by telephone. Transfers from or among the
Divisions of the Separate Account must be in amounts of at least $500
or, if smaller, the Policy's Cash Value in a Division. The first twelve
requested transfers or partial withdrawals per policy year will be
allowed free of charge. Thereafter, the Company will impose a charge of
$25 for each requested transfer or partial withdrawal. General American
ordinarily will make transfers and determine all values in connection
with transfers as of the end of the Valuation Period during which the
transfer request is received.
All requests received on the same Valuation Date will be considered
a single transfer request. Each transfer must meet the minimum
requirement of $500 or the entire Cash Value in a Division, whichever
is smaller. Where a single transfer request calls for more than one
transfer, and not all of the transfers would meet the minimum
requirements, General American will make those transfers that do meet
the requirements. Transfers resulting from Policy Loans will not be
counted for purposes of the limitations on the amount or frequency of
transfers allowed in each Policy Month or Policy Year.
Although General American currently intends to continue to permit
transfers for the foreseeable future, the Policy provides that General
American may at any time revoke, modify, or limit the transfer
privilege, including the minimum amount transferable, the maximum
General Account allocation percent, and the frequency of such transfers.
PORTFOLIO REBALANCING
Over time, the funds in the General Account and the Divisions of the
Separate Account will accumulate at different rates as a result of
different investment returns. The Owner may direct that from time to
time we automatically restore the balance of the Cash Value in the
General Account and in the Divisions of the Separate Account to the
percentages determined in advance. There are two methods of rebalancing
available - periodic and variance.
PERIODIC REBALANCING. Under this option the Owner elects a frequency
(monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually), measured from the Policy
Anniversary. On each date elected, we will rebalance the funds by
generating transfers to reallocate the funds according to the investment
percentages elected.
VARIANCE REBALANCING. Under this option the Owner elects a specific
allocation percentage for the General Account and each Division of the
Separate Account. For each such account, the allocation percentage (if
not zero) must be a whole percentage and must not be less than five
percent (5%). The Owner also elects a maximum variance percentage (5%,
10%, 15%, or 20% only), and can exclude specific funds from being
rebalanced. On each Monthly Anniversary we will review the current fund
balances to determine whether any fund balance is outside of the
variance range (either above or below)
23
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
as a percentage of the specified allocation percentage for that fund.
If any fund is outside of the variance range, we will generate transfers
to rebalance all of the specified funds back to the predetermined
percentages.
Owners should consider that portfolio rebalancing entails the transfer
of Cash Value from better performing portfolios to lesser performing
portfolios.
Transfers resulting from portfolio rebalancing will not be counted
against the total number of transfers allowed in a Policy Year before a
charge is applied.
The Owner may elect either form of portfolio rebalancing by specifying
it on the policy application, or may elect it later for an in-force
Policy, or may cancel it, by submitting a change form acceptable to
General American under its administrative rules.
Only one form of portfolio rebalancing may be elected at any one time,
and portfolio rebalancing may not be used in conjunction with dollar
cost averaging (see below).
General American reserves the right to suspend portfolio rebalancing at
any time on any class of Policies on a nondiscriminatory basis, or to
charge an administrative fee for election changes in excess of a
specified number in a Policy Year in accordance with its administrative
rules.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING
The Owner may direct the Company to transfer amounts on a monthly basis
from the Money Market Fund to any other Division of the Separate
Account. This service is intended to allow the Owner to utilize "dollar
cost averaging" ("DCA"), a long-term investment technique which provides
for regular, level investments over time. The Company makes no
guarantee that DCA will result in a profit or protect against loss.
The following rules and restrictions apply to DCA transfers:
(1) The minimum DCA transfer amount is $100.
(2) A written election of the DCA service, on a form provided by
the Company, must be completed by the Owner and on file with the
Company in order to begin DCA transfers.
(3) In the written election of the DCA service, the Owner
indicates how DCA transfers are to be allocated among the
Divisions of the Separate Account. For any Division chosen to
receive DCA transfers, the minimum percentage that may be
allocated to a Division is 5% of the DCA transfer amount, and
fractional percentages may not be used.
(4) DCA transfers can only be made from the Money Market Fund,
and DCA transfers will not be allowed to the General Account.
(5) The DCA transfers will not count against the Policy's normal
transfer restrictions. (See Policy Rights -- Transfers.)
(6) The DCA transfer percentages may differ from the allocation
percentages the Owner specifies for the allocation of Net Premiums.
(See Payment and Allocation of Premiums -- Allocation of Net Premiums
and Cash Values.)
(7) Once elected, DCA transfers from the Money Market Fund will
be processed monthly until either the value in the Money Market
Fund is completely depleted or the Owner instructs the Company in
writing to cancel the DCA service.
(8) Transfers as a result of a Policy Loan or repayment, or in
exercise of the conversion privilege, are not subject to the DCA
rules and restrictions. The DCA service terminates at the time
the conversion privilege is exercised, when any outstanding amount
in any Division of the Separate Account is immediately transferred
to the General Account. (See Policy Rights - Loans, and Policy
Rights - Conversion Privilege.)
(9) DCA transfers will not be made until the Right to Examine
Policy period has expired (See Policy Rights - Right to Examine
Policy).
The Company reserves the right to assess a processing fee for the DCA
service. The Company reserves the right to discontinue offering DCA
upon 30 days' written notice to Owners. However, any such
discontinuation will not affect DCA services already commenced. The
Company reserves the right to impose a minimum total Cash Value, less
outstanding Indebtedness, in order to qualify for DCA service. Also,
the Company reserves the right to change the minimum necessary Cash
Value and the minimum required DCA transfer amount.
Transfers made under Dollar Cost Averaging do not count against the
total of twelve requested transfers
24
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
or partial withdrawals allowed without charge in a Policy Year.
RIGHT TO EXAMINE POLICY
The Owner may cancel a Policy within 20 days after receiving it (30 days
if the Owner is a resident of California and is age 60 or older) or
within 45 days after the application was signed, whichever is later. If
a Policy is canceled within this time period, a refund will be paid.
Where required by state law, the refund will equal all premiums paid
under the Policy. Where required by state law, General American will
refund an amount equal to the greater of premiums paid or (1) plus (2)
where (1) is the difference between the premiums paid, including any
policy fees or other charges, and the amounts allocated to the Separate
Account under the Policy and (2) is the value of the amounts allocated
to the Separate Account under the Policy on the date the returned Policy
is received by General American or its agent.
To cancel the Policy, the Owner should mail or deliver the Policy to
either General American or the agent who sold it. A refund of premiums
paid by check may be delayed until the Owner's check has cleared the
bank upon which it was drawn. (See General Matters - Postponement of
Payments from the Separate Account.)
DEATH BENEFIT AT ATTAINED AGE 100
If the Last Insured is living and the Policy is in force when the
younger Insured reaches Attained Age 100, the death benefit will be
equal to 101% of the Cash Value of the Policy unless the Lifetime
Coverage Rider is in effect. (See Additional Insurance Benefits.) At
that point, no further premium payments will be required or accepted,
and no further monthly deductions will be taken to cover the cost of
insurance.
PAYMENT AND ALLOCATION OF PREMIUMS
ISSUANCE OF A POLICY
Individuals wishing to purchase a Policy must complete an application
and submit it to an authorized registered agent of General American or
to General American's Home Office. A Policy will generally be issued
to Insureds of Issue Ages 0 through 90 for regularly underwritten
contracts, and to Insureds of Issue Ages 20 through 70 for Policies
issued in qualified pension plans. (Issue age requirements vary for
policies issued in Texas.) General American may, in its sole discretion,
issue Policies to individuals falling outside of those Issue Ages.
Acceptance of an application is subject to General American's underwriting
rules and General American reserves the right to reject an application
for any reason.
The Issue Date is determined by General American in accordance with its
standard underwriting procedures for variable life insurance policies.
The Issue Date is used to determine Policy Anniversaries, Policy Years,
and Policy Months. Insurance coverages under a Policy will not take
effect until the Policy has been delivered and the initial premium has
been paid during the lifetimes of both Insureds and prior to any change
in health as shown in the application.
PREMIUMS
The initial premium is due on the Issue Date, and may be paid to an
authorized registered agent of General American or to General American
at its Home Office. General American currently requires that the
initial premium for a Policy be at least equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of
the Minimum Premium for the Policy. The Minimum Premium is the amount
specified for each Policy based on the requested initial Face Amount and
the charges under the Policy which vary according to the Issue Age, sex,
underwriting risk class, and smoker status of the Insured. (See Charges
and Deductions.) For policies issued as a result of a term conversion
from certain General American term policies, the Company requires the
Owner to pay an initial premium, which combined with conversion credits
given, if any, will equal one full "Minimum Premium" for the Policy.
Following the initial premium, subject to the limitations described
below, premiums may be paid in any amount and at any interval. Premiums
after the first premium payment must be paid to General American at its
Home Office. An Owner may establish a schedule of planned premiums
which will be billed by the Company at regular intervals. Failure to
pay planned premiums, however, will not itself cause the Policy to
lapse. (See Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.) Premium receipts will be
furnished upon request.
An Owner may make unscheduled premium payments at any time in any
amount, or skip planned premium payments, subject to the minimum and
maximum premium limitations described below.
If a Policy is in the intended Owner's possession but the initial
premium has not been paid, the Policy is not in force. The intended
Owner is deemed to have the Policy for inspection only.
25
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
PREMIUM LIMITATIONS. Every premium payment must be at least $10. In no
event may the total of all premiums paid in any Policy Year exceed the
current maximum premium limitations for that Policy Year. Maximum
premium limits for the Policy Year will be shown in an Owner's annual
report.
In general, for policies issued with Death Benefit Option A or Death
Benefit Option B, the maximum premium limit for a Policy Year is the
largest amount of premium that can be paid in that Policy Year such that
the sum of the premiums paid under the Policy will not at any time
exceed the guideline premium limitations needed to comply with the tax
definition of life insurance. For policies issued with Death Benefit
Option C, the company reserves the right to impose other restrictions
upon the amount of premium that may be paid into the Policy. If at any
time a premium is paid which would result in total premiums exceeding
the current maximum premium limitations, the Company will only accept
that portion of the premium which will make total premiums equal the
maximum. Any part of the premium in excess of that amount will be
returned or applied as otherwise agreed, and no further premiums will be
accepted until allowed under the current maximum premium limitations.
In addition to the foregoing tax definitional limits on premiums, for
purposes of determining whether distributions (including loans) are a
return of income first, the Company monitors the Policy to detect
whether the "seven pay limit" has been exceeded. If the seven pay limit
is exceeded, the Policy becomes a "Modified Endowment". The Company has
adopted administrative steps designed to notify an Owner when it is
believed that a premium payment will cause a Policy to become a modified
endowment contract. The Owner will be given a limited amount of time to
request that the premium be reversed in order to avoid the Policy's
being classified as a modified endowment contract. (See Federal Tax
Matters.)
If the Company receives a premium payment which would cause the death
benefit to increase by an amount that exceeds the Net Premium portion of
the payment, then the Company reserves the right to (1) refuse that
premium payment, or (2) require additional evidence of insurability
before it accepts the premium.
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS AND CASH VALUE
ALLOCATION OF NET PREMIUMS. In the application for a Policy, the Owner
indicates how Net Premiums are to be allocated among the Divisions of
the Separate Account, to the General Account (if available), or both.
For each Division chosen, the minimum percentage that may be allocated
to a Division is 5% of the Net Premium, and fractional percentages may
not be used. Certain other restrictions apply to allocations made to
the General Account (see General Account). For policies issued with an
allowable percentage to the General Account of more than 5%, the minimum
percentage is 5%, and fractional percentages may not be used.
The allocation for future Net Premiums may be changed without charge at
any time by providing notice to the Company. Any change in allocation
will take effect immediately upon receipt by the Company of written
notice. No charge is imposed for changing the allocations of future
premiums. The initial allocation will be shown on the application which
is attached to the Policy. The Company may at any time modify the
maximum percentage of future Net Premiums that may be allocated to the
General Account.
During the period from the Issue Date to the end of the Right to Examine
Policy Period (See Policy Rights - Right to Examine Policy), Net
Premiums will automatically be allocated to the Division that invests in
the Money Market Fund of Capital Company. When this period expires, the
Policy's Cash Value in that Division will be transferred to the
Divisions of the Separate Account and to the General Account (if
available) in accordance with the allocation requested in the
application for the Policy, or any allocation instructions received
subsequent to receipt of the application. Net Premiums received after
the Right to Examine Policy Period will be allocated according to the
allocation instructions most recently received by the Company unless
otherwise instructed for that particular premium receipt.
The Policy's Cash Value may also be transferred between Divisions of the
Separate Account, and, if the General Account is available under the
Policy, between those Divisions and the General Account. (See Policy
Rights - Transfers.)
The value of amounts allocated to Divisions of the Separate Account will
vary with the investment performance of the chosen Divisions and the
Owner bears the entire investment risk. This will affect the Policy's
Cash Value, and may affect the death benefit as well. Owners should
periodically review their allocations of Net Premiums and the Policy's
Cash Value in light of market conditions and their overall financial
planning requirements.
26
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
POLICY LAPSE AND REINSTATEMENT
LAPSE. Unlike conventional whole life insurance policies, the failure
to make a premium payment following the initial premium will not itself
cause a Policy to lapse. If, during the first five Policy Years, the
sum of all premiums paid on the Policy, reduced by any partial
withdrawals and any outstanding loan balance, is greater than or equal
to the sum of the No Lapse Monthly Premiums for the elapsed months since
the Issue Date, the Policy will not lapse as a result of the Cash Value
less any loans, loan interest due, and any surrender charge being
insufficient to pay the monthly deduction. Lapse will occur (except as
described above) when the Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to cover
the monthly deduction, and a grace period expires without a sufficient
payment being made.
The grace period, which is 62 days, begins on the Monthly Anniversary on
which the Cash Surrender Value becomes insufficient to meet the next
monthly deduction. The Company will notify the Owner at the beginning
of the grace period by mail addressed to the last known address on file
with the Company. The notice to the Owner will indicate the amount of
additional premium that must be paid. The amount of the premium
required to keep the Policy in force will be the amount to cover the
outstanding monthly deductions and premium expense charges. (See
Charges and Deductions - Monthly Deduction.) If the Company does not
receive the required amount within the grace period, the Policy will
lapse and terminate without Cash Value.
If the Last Insured dies during the grace period, any overdue monthly
deductions will be deducted from the death benefit otherwise payable.
REINSTATEMENT. The Owner may reinstate a lapsed Policy by written
application any time within five years after the date of lapse and
before the younger Insured's Attained Age 100. Reinstatement is subject
to the following conditions:
1. Evidence of the insurability of the Insureds (or if one of
the Insureds was deceased when the Policy lapsed, evidence of the
insurability of the surviving Insured) satisfactory to the Company
(including evidence of insurability of any person covered by a
rider to reinstate the rider).
2. Payment of a premium that, after the deduction of premium
expense charges, is large enough to cover: (a) the monthly
deductions due at the time of lapse, and (b) two times the monthly
deduction due at the time of reinstatement.
3. Payment or reinstatement of any Indebtedness. Any Indebtedness
reinstated will cause Cash Value of an equal amount also to be
reinstated. Any loan interest due and unpaid on the Policy
Anniversary prior to reinstatement must be repaid at the time of
reinstatement. Any loan paid at the time of reinstatement will
cause an increase in Cash Value equal to the amount to be reinstated.
The Policy cannot be reinstated if it has been surrendered.
The amount of Cash Value on the date of reinstatement will be equal to
the amount of any Policy Loan reinstated, increased by the Net Premiums
paid at reinstatement, any Policy Loan paid at the time of reinstatement,
and the amount of any surrender charge paid at the time of lapse.
If both Insureds were alive on the date the Policy lapsed, then both
Insureds must be alive on the date the Company approves the application
for reinstatement. If only one Insured was alive on the date the
Policy lapsed, then that Insured must be alive on the date the Company
approves the request for reinstatement. If any Insured who was alive on
the date the Policy lapsed is not then alive when the Company approves
the request for reinstatement, such approval is void and of no effect.
The effective date of reinstatement will be the date the Company
approves the application for reinstatement. There will be a full
monthly deduction for the Policy Month which includes that date. (See
Charges and Deductions-Monthly Deduction.)
The surrender charge in effect at the time of reinstatement will equal
the surrender charge in effect at the time of lapse.
CHARGES AND DEDUCTIONS
Charges will be deducted in connection with the Policy to compensate the
Company for providing the insurance benefits set forth in the Policy and
any additional benefits added by rider, administering the Policies,
incurring expenses in distributing the Policies, and assuming certain
risks in connection with the Policy.
27
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
PREMIUM EXPENSE CHARGES
Prior to allocation of Net Premiums, premium payments will be reduced by
premium expense charges consisting of a sales charge and a charge for
premium taxes. The premium payment less the premium expense charge
equals the Net Premium.
SALES CHARGE. A sales charge will be deducted from each premium payment
to partially compensate the Company for expenses incurred in
distributing the Policy and any additional benefits provided by riders.
The Company currently intends to deduct a sales charge determined
according to the following schedule:
Policy Year 1 15% of premium up to Target
5% of premium above Target
Policy Years 2-10 5% of all premium paid
Policy Years 11+ 2% of all premium paid
For policies issued in the state of Oregon, the amounts shown above are
increased by 2%. Consistent with the requirements of the Texas non-
forfeiture laws, the guaranteed sales charge varies for policies issued
in Texas. As of the date of this prospectus, the current sales charge
for Texas policies is the same as shown above.
The expenses covered by the sales charge include agent sales
commissions, the cost of printing Prospectuses and sales literature, and
any advertising costs. Where Policies are issued to Insureds with
higher mortality risks or to Insureds who have selected additional
insurance benefits, a portion of the amount deducted for sales charge is
used to pay distribution expenses and other costs associated with these
additional coverages. No increase in this sales charge will occur that
would result in an increase in the sales charge percentage deducted in
any previous Policy year.
A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge is also imposed under certain
circumstances for expenses incurred in distributing the Policies. That
charge is discussed below.
To the extent that sales expenses are not recovered from the sales
charge and the surrender charge, those expenses may be recovered from
other sources, including the mortality and expense risk charge described
below.
PREMIUM TAXES. Various states or other governing jurisdictions and
their subdivisions impose a tax on premiums received by insurance
companies. Premium taxes vary by jurisdiction. A deduction equal to
the amount of the actual premium tax (if any) is taken from each premium
payment for these taxes. The deduction allows the Company to pass
through the amount of the taxes imposed on the policy by the state or
other governing jurisdiction and any subdivisions thereof. State
premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3.5% (4% in Puerto Rico), with
an average of approximately 2.1%.
FEDERAL TAX CHARGE. This charge is designed to pass through the
equivalent of the federal tax consequences applicable to the policy.
The charge is currently 1.3% of premium paid, and is guaranteed not to
increase except to the extent of any increases in the federal tax.
MONTHLY DEDUCTION
Charges will be deducted monthly from the Cash Value of each Policy
("the monthly deduction") to compensate the Company for (a) certain
administrative costs; (b) the cost of insurance; and (c) the cost of
optional benefits added by rider. The monthly deduction will be taken
on the Investment Start Date and on each Monthly Anniversary. It will
be allocated among the General Account and each Division of the Separate
Account in the same proportion that a Policy's Cash Value in the General
Account and the Policy's Cash Value in each Division bear to the total
Cash Value of the Policy, less the Cash Value in the Loan Account, on
the date the deduction is taken. Because portions of the monthly
deduction, such as the cost of insurance, can vary from month to month,
the monthly deduction itself can vary in amount from month to month.
SELECTION AND ISSUE EXPENSE CHARGE. During the first ten Policy Years,
the Company generally assesses a monthly charge to cover the costs
associated with the underwriting and issue of the policy. The monthly
charge per $1,000 of face amount ranges from approximately 4 cents to
one dollar, and varies by Issue Age, risk class, and (except on unisex
Policies) sex of the Insureds. For policies issued in Texas, the
guaranteed selection and issue expenses are level for the life of the
policy to ensure compliance with the Texas non-forfeiture laws. On a
current basis, as of the date of this prospectus, the charges stop after
ten Policy Years.
MONTHLY ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGE. The Company has responsibility for the
administration of the Policies and the Separate Account. Administrative
expenses include premium billing and collection, record keeping,
processing death benefit claims, cash surrenders, partial withdrawals,
Policy changes, and reporting and overhead costs, processing
applications, and establishing Policy records. As reimbursement for
administrative expenses related to
28
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
the maintenance of each Policy and the Separate Account, the Company
assesses a monthly administration charge from each Policy. This charge
is generally $25 per month in the first Policy Year, and $6 per month
for all Policy Years thereafter, and is guaranteed not to increase while
the Policy is in force.
The Company may administer the Policy itself, or may purchase
administrative services from such sources (including affiliates) as may
be available. Such services will be acquired on a basis which, in the
Company's sole discretion, affords the best services at the lowest cost.
The Company reserves the right to select a company to provide services
which the Company deems, in its sole discretion, is the best able to
perform such services in a satisfactory manner even though the costs for
such services may be higher than would prevail elsewhere.
COST OF INSURANCE. The cost of insurance is deducted on each Monthly
Anniversary for the following Policy Month. The cost of insurance is
determined in a manner that reflects the anticipated mortality of both
Insureds and the fact that the death benefit is not payable until the
death of the Last Insured. Because the cost of insurance depends upon a
number of variables, the cost will vary for each Policy Month. The
Company will determine the cost of insurance charge by multiplying the
applicable cost of insurance rate or rates by the net amount at risk
(defined below) for each Policy Month.
The cost of insurance rates are determined at the beginning of each
Policy Year. The rates will be based on the Attained Age, duration,
rate class, and (except for unisex Policies) sex of the Insureds at
issue. (See Unisex Requirements Under Montana Law.) The cost of
insurance rates generally increase as the Insureds' Attained Age
increases.
The rate class of an Insured also will affect the cost of insurance
rate. For the initial Face Amount, the Company will use the rate class
on the Issue Date. If the death benefit equals a percentage of Cash
Value, an increase in Cash Value will cause an automatic increase in the
death benefit. The rate class for such increase will be the same as
that used for the initial Face Amount.
The Company currently places Insureds into a preferred rate class, a
standard rate class, or into rate classes involving a higher mortality
risk.
Actual cost of insurance rates may change, and the actual monthly cost
of insurance rates will be determined by the Company based on its
expectations as to future mortality experience. However, the actual
cost of insurance rates will not be greater than the guaranteed cost of
insurance rates set forth in the Policy. For Policies which are not in
a substandard risk class, the guaranteed cost of insurance rates are
equal to 100% of the rates set forth in the male/female smoker/non-
smoker 1980 CSO Mortality Tables (1980 CSO Tables NA and SA and 1980 CSO
Tables NG and SG for sex distinct Policies and Policies issued in
qualified pension plans; and 1980 CSO Tables NA and SA for unisex
policies issued in compliance with Montana law. All Policies are based
on the age nearest birthday. Higher rates apply if either Insured is
determined to be in a substandard risk class.
In two otherwise identical Policies, an Insured in the preferred rate
class will have a lower cost of insurance than an Insured in a rate
class involving higher mortality risk. Each rate class is also divided
into two categories: smokers and nonsmokers. Nonsmoker Insureds will
generally incur a lower cost of insurance than similarly situated
Insureds who smoke. (Insureds under Attained Age 20 are automatically
assigned to the non-smoker rate class.)
The net amount at risk for a Policy Month is (a) the death benefit at
the beginning of the Policy Month divided by 1.0032737 (which reduces
the net amount at risk, solely for purposes of computing the cost of
insurance, by taking into account assumed monthly earnings at an annual
rate of 4%), less (b) the Cash Value at the beginning of the Policy
Month. In calculating the cost of insurance charges, the cost of
insurance rate for a Face Amount is applied to the net amount at risk
for that Face Amount.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS. The monthly deduction will include
charges for any additional benefits provided by rider. (See General
Matters - Additional Insurance Benefits.)
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ("CDSC")
For a period of up to ten years after the Issue Date, the Company will
impose a CDSC upon surrender or lapse of the Policy, upon a partial
withdrawal, or upon a Pro-Rata Surrender. The amount of the charge
assessed will depend upon a number of factors, including the type of
event (a full surrender, lapse, or partial withdrawal), the amount of
any premium payments made under the Policy prior to the event, and the
number of Policy Years having elapsed since the Policy was issued.
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge compensates the Company for
expenses relating to the distribution
29
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of the Policy, including agents' commissions, advertising, and the
printing of the Prospectus and sales literature.
CALCULATION OF CHARGE. If a Policy is surrendered, the charge will not
exceed the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Percentage multiplied by the
annual Target Premium attributable to the base policy.
The Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Percentage is shown in the
following table.
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE
PERCENTAGE TABLE
IF SURRENDER OR LAPSE THE PERCENTAGE OF THE
OCCURS IN THE LAST MONTH ANNUAL TARGET
OF POLICY YEAR: PREMIUM PAYABLE IS:
1 through 5 45%
6 40%
7 30%
8 20%
9 10%
10 and later 0%
In addition, the percentages are reduced equally for each Policy Month
during the years shown. For example, during the seventh year, the
percentage is reduced equally each month from 40% at the end of the
sixth Year to 30% at the end of the seventh Year. This table may be
modified if required by law or regulation of the governing jurisdiction.
CHARGE ASSESSED UPON PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS OR PRO-RATA SURRENDER. The
amount of the Contingent Deferred Sales Charge deducted upon a partial
withdrawal or Pro-Rata Surrender will equal a fraction of the charge
that would be deducted if the Policy were surrendered at that time. The
fraction will be determined by dividing the amount of the withdrawal of
cash by the Cash Value before the withdrawal and multiplying the result
by the charge. Immediately after a withdrawal, the Policy's remaining
surrender charge will equal the amount of the surrender charge
immediately before the withdrawal less the amount deducted in connection
with the withdrawal.
TRANSACTION CHARGES. There are no transaction charges for processing
the first twelve transfers or partial withdrawals in a policy year.
There is a charge of $25 for each transfer or partial withdrawal in
excess of twelve.
ADJUSTMENT OF CHARGES. The Policy is available for purchase by
individuals, corporations, and other institutions. For certain
individuals and certain corporate or other group or sponsored
arrangements purchasing one or more Policies, General American may waive
or adjust the amount of the Sales Charge, Contingent Deferred Sales
Charge, monthly administrative charge, or other charges where the
expenses associated with the sale of the Policy or Policies or the
underwriting or other administrative costs associated with the Policy or
Policies warrant an adjustment.
Sales, underwriting, or other administrative expenses may be reduced for
reasons such as expected economies resulting from a corporate purchase
or a group or sponsored arrangement; from the amount of the initial
premium payment or payments; or from the amount of projected premium
payments. General American will determine in its discretion if, and in
what amount, an adjustment is appropriate. The Company may modify its
criteria for qualification for adjustment of charges as experience is
gained, subject to the limitation that such adjustments will not be
unfairly discriminatory against the interests of any Owner.
SEPARATE ACCOUNT CHARGES
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE. General American will deduct a daily
charge from the Separate Account. The amount of the deduction is
determined as a percentage of the average net assets of each Division of
the Separate Account. The daily deduction percentages, and the
equivalent effective annual rate, are:
POLICY YEARS DAILY CHARGE FACTOR ANNUAL EQUIVALENT
1-10 .0015027% 0.55%
11-20 .0012301% 0.45%
21+ .0009572% 0.35%
This deduction is guaranteed not to increase while the Policy is in
force. General American may realize a profit from this charge.
The mortality risk assumed by General American is that Insureds may die
sooner than anticipated and that therefore General American will pay an
aggregate amount of death benefits greater than anticipated. The
expense risk assumed is that expenses incurred in issuing and
administering the Policy will exceed the amounts realized from the
administrative charges assessed against the Policy.
FUND EXPENSES. The value of the net assets of the Separate Account will
reflect the investment advisory fee and other expenses incurred by the
underlying investment companies. A summary of the annual Fund operating
expenses in provided on page 14 of
30
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the respective Funds for a
description of investment advisory fees and other expenses.
TAXES. No charges are currently made to the Separate Account for
Federal, state, or local taxes that the Company incurs which may be
attributable to such Separate Account or to the Policy. The Company may
make such a charge for any such taxes or economic burden resulting from
the application of the tax laws that it determines to be properly
attributable to the Separate Account or to the Policy. (See Federal
Tax Matters.)
DIVIDENDS
The Policy is issued both as a participating Policy, which provides the
Owner an ownership interest in General American Mutual Holding Company,
the parent company of General American Life Insurance Company and as a
non-participating Policy, which provides no ownership interest in
General American Mutual Holding Company or General American Life
Insurance Company. However, we do not anticipate that the Policy will
share in the divisible surplus of the Company in the form of a dividend.
THE GENERAL ACCOUNT
Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the
General Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of
1933 and the General Account has not been registered as an investment
company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the General Account
nor any interests therein are subject to the provisions of these Acts
and, as a result, the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure
in this Prospectus relating to the General Account. The disclosure
regarding the General Account may, however, be subject to certain
generally applicable provisions of the Federal securities laws relating
to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in prospectuses.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The General Account consists of all assets owned by General American
other than those in the Separate Account and other separate accounts.
Subject to applicable law, General American has sole discretion over the
investment of the assets of the General Account.
At issue, General American will determine the maximum percentage of the
non-borrowed Cash Value that may be allocated, either initially or by
transfer, to the General Account. The ability to allocate Net Premiums
or to transfer Cash Value to the General Account may not be made
available, in the Company's discretion, under certain Policies.
Further, the option may be limited with respect to some Policies. The
Company may, from time to time, adjust the extent to which premiums
or Cash Value may be allocated to the General Account (the "maximum
allocation percentage"). Such adjustments may not be uniform as to all
Policies. General American may at any time modify the General Account
maximum allocation percent. Subject to this maximum, an Owner may elect
to allocate Net Premiums to the General Account, the Separate Account,
or both. Subject to this maximum, the Owner may also transfer Cash
Value from the Divisions of the Separate Account to the General Account,
or from the General Account to the Divisions of the Separate Account.
The allocation of Net Premiums or the transfer of Cash Value to the
General Account does not entitle an Owner to share in the investment
experience of the General Account. Instead, General American guarantees
that Cash Value allocated to the General Account will accrue interest at
a rate of at least 4%, compounded annually, independent of the actual
investment experience of the General Account.
The Loan Account is part of the General Account.
THE POLICY
This Prospectus describes a flexible premium joint and last survivor
variable life insurance policy. This Prospectus is generally intended
to serve as a disclosure document only for the aspects of the Policy
relating to the Separate Account. For complete details regarding the
General Account, see the Policy itself.
GENERAL ACCOUNT BENEFITS
If the Owner allocates all Net Premiums only to the General Account and
makes no transfers, partial withdrawals, Pro-Rata Surrenders, or Policy
Loans, the entire investment risk will be borne by General American, and
General American guarantees that it will pay at least a minimum
specified death benefit. The Owner may select Death Benefit Option A, B
or C under the Policy and may change the Policy's Face Amount subject to
satisfactory evidence of insurability.
GENERAL ACCOUNT CASH VALUE
Net Premiums allocated to the General Account are credited to the Cash
Value. General American bears the full investment risk for these
amounts and
31
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
guarantees that interest will be credited to each Owner's Cash Value in
the General Account at a rate of no less than 4% per year, compounded
annually. General American may, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, credit a higher
rate of interest, although it is not obligated to credit interest in
excess of 4% per year, and might not do so. ANY INTEREST CREDITED ON
THE POLICY'S CASH VALUE IN THE GENERAL ACCOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE
GUARANTEED MINIMUM RATE OF 4% PER YEAR WILL BE DETERMINED IN THE SOLE
DISCRETION OF GENERAL AMERICAN. THE POLICY OWNER ASSUMES THE RISK THAT
INTEREST CREDITED MAY NOT EXCEED THE GUARANTEED MINIMUM RATE OF 4% PER
YEAR. If excess interest is credited, a different rate of interest may
be applied to the Cash Value in the Loan Account. The Cash Value in the
General Account will be calculated on each Monthly Anniversary of the
Policy.
General American guarantees that, on each Valuation Date, the Cash Value
in the General Account will be the amount of the Net Premiums allocated
or Cash Value transferred to the General Account, plus interest at the
rate of 4% per year, plus any excess interest which General American
credits and any amounts transferred into the General Account, less the
sum of all Policy charges allocable to the General Account and any
amounts deducted from the General Account in connection with partial
withdrawals, Pro-Rata Surrenders, surrender charges or transfers to the
Separate Account.
TRANSFERS, SURRENDERS, PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS AND POLICY LOANS
After the first Policy Year, a portion of Cash Value may be withdrawn
from the General Account or transferred from the General Account to the
Separate Account. A partial withdrawal, net of any applicable surrender
charges, and any transfer must be at least $500 or, the Policy's entire
Cash Value in the General Account if less than $500. No amount may be
withdrawn from the General Account that would result in there being
insufficient Cash Value to meet any surrender charges that would be
payable immediately following the withdrawal upon the surrender of the
remaining Cash Value of the Policy. The total amount of transfers and
withdrawals in a Policy Year may not exceed a Maximum Amount equal to
the greater of (a) 25% of a Policy's Cash Surrender Value in the General
Account at the beginning of the Policy Year, or (b) the previous Policy
Year's Maximum Amount (not to exceed the total Cash Surrender Value of
the Policy).
Transfers to the General Account are limited by the maximum allocation
percentage (described below) in effect for a Policy at the time a
transfer request is made.
Policy Loans may also be made from the Policy's Cash Value in the
General Account.
Loans and withdrawals from the General Account may have Federal income
tax consequences. (See Federal Tax Matters.)
There is no transaction charge for the first twelve partial withdrawals
or requested transfers in a Policy Year. General American will impose a
charge of $25 for each partial withdrawal or requested transfer in
excess of twelve in a Policy Year. General American may revoke or
modify the privilege of transferring amounts to or from the General
Account at any time. Partial withdrawals and Pro-Rata Surrenders will
result in the imposition of the applicable surrender charge.
Transfers, surrenders, partial withdrawals and Pro-Rata Surrenders
payable from the General Account and the payment of Policy Loans
allocated to the General Account may, subject to certain limitations, be
delayed for up to six months. However, if payment is deferred for 30
days or more, General American will pay interest at the rate of 2.5% per
year for the period of the deferment. Amounts from the General Account
used to pay premiums on policies with General American will not be
delayed.
GENERAL MATTERS
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS FROM THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT
The Company usually pays amounts payable on partial withdrawal, Pro-Rata
Surrender, surrender, or Policy Loan allocated to the Separate Account
Divisions within seven days after written notice is received. Payment
of any amount payable from the Divisions of the Separate Account upon
surrender, partial withdrawals, Pro-Rata Surrender, death of the Last
Insured, or payments of a Policy Loan and transfers, may be postponed
whenever: (1) the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary
weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange
is restricted as determined by the SEC; (2) the SEC by order permits
postponement for the protection of Owners; or (3) an emergency exists,
as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is
not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to
determine the value
32
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
of the Separate Account's net assets. The Company may defer payment of
the portion of any Policy Loan from the General Account for not more
than six months.
Payments under the Policy of any amounts derived from premiums paid by
check may be delayed until the Owner's check has cleared the bank upon
which it was drawn.
THE CONTRACT
The Policy, the attached application, any riders, endorsements, and any
application for reinstatement constitute the entire contract. All
statements made by the Insureds in the application and any supplemental
applications can be used to contest a claim or the validity of the
Policy. Any change to the Policy must be in writing and approved by the
President, a Vice President, or the Secretary of the Company. No agent
has the authority to alter or modify any of the terms, conditions, or
agreements of the Policy or to waive any of its provisions.
CONTROL OF POLICY
The Insureds jointly are the Owner of the Policy unless another person
or entity is shown as the Owner in the application. Ownership may be
changed, however, as described below. The Owner is entitled to all
rights provided by the Policy. Any person whose rights of ownership
depend upon some future event does not possess any present rights of
ownership. If there is more than one Owner at a given time, all Owners
must exercise the rights of ownership by joint action. If the Owner
dies, and the Owner is not one or both of the Insureds, the Owner's
interest in the Policy becomes the property of his or her estate unless
otherwise provided. Unless otherwise provided, the Policy is jointly
owned by all Owners named in the Policy or by the survivors of those
joint Owners. Unless otherwise stated in the Policy, the final Owner is
the estate of the last joint Owner to die. The Company may rely on the
written request of any trustee of a trust which is the Owner of the
Policy, and the Company is not responsible for the proper administration
of any such trust.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary(ies) is (are) the person(s) specified in the application
or by later designation. Unless otherwise stated in the Policy, the
Beneficiary has no rights in a Policy before the death of the Last
Insured. If there is more than one Beneficiary at the death of the Last
Insured, each Beneficiary will receive equal payments unless otherwise
provided by the Owner. If no Beneficiary is living at the death of the
Last Insured, the proceeds will be payable to the Owner or, if the Owner
is not living, to the Owner's estate.
The Company permits the designation of various types of trusts as
Beneficiary(ies), including trusts for minor beneficiaries, trusts under
a will, and trusts under a separate written agreement. An Owner is also
permitted to designate several types of beneficiaries, including
business beneficiaries.
CHANGE OF OWNER OR BENEFICIARY
The Owner may change the ownership and/or Beneficiary designation by
written request in a form acceptable to the Company at any time during
the Last Insured's lifetime subject to any restrictions stated in the
Policy and this Prospectus. The Company may require that the Policy be
returned for endorsement of any change. If acceptable to us, the change
will take effect as of the date the request is signed, whether or not
the Last Insured is living when the request is received at the Company's
Home Office. The Company is not liable for any payment made or action
taken before the Company received the written request for change. If
the Owner is also a Beneficiary of the Policy at the time of the Last
Insured's death, the Owner may, within sixty days of the Last Insured's
death, designate another person to receive the Policy proceeds. Any
change will be subject to any assignment of the Policy or any other
legal restrictions.
POLICY CHANGES
The Company reserves the right to limit the number of changes to a
Policy to one per Policy Year and to restrict changes in the first
Policy Year. Currently, only one change is permitted during any Policy
Year and no change may be made during the first Policy Year. For this
purpose, changes include decreases in Face Amount and changes in the
death benefit option. No change will be permitted, if as a result, the
Policy would fail to satisfy the definition of life insurance in Section
7702 of the Internal Revenue Code or any applicable successor provision.
CONFORMITY WITH STATUTES
If any provision in a Policy is in conflict with the laws of the state
governing the Policy, the provision will be deemed to be amended to
conform to such laws. In addition, the Company reserves the right to
change the Policy if it determines that a change is necessary to cause
this Policy to comply with, or give the Owner the benefit of any Federal
or state statute, rule, or regulation, including, but not limited to,
33
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, or its regulations or
published rulings.
CLAIMS OF CREDITORS
To the extent permitted by law, neither the Policy nor any payment under
it will be subject to the claims of creditors or to any legal process.
INCONTESTABILITY
The Policy is incontestable after it has been in force for two years
from the Issue Date during the lifetime of either Insured. An addition
of a rider after the Issue Date is incontestable after such addition has
been in force for two years from its effective date during the lifetime
of either Insured. Any reinstatement of a Policy is incontestable only
after it has been in force during the lifetime of either Insured for two
years after the effective date of the reinstatement.
ASSIGNMENT
The Company will be bound by an assignment of a Policy only if: (a) the
assignment is in writing; (b) the original assignment instrument or a
certified copy thereof is filed with the Company at its Home Office; and
(c) the Company returns an acknowledged copy of the assignment instrument
to the Owner. The Company is not responsible for determining the validity
of any assignment. Payment of Policy proceeds is subject to the rights of
any assignee of record. If a claim is based on an assignment, the Company
may require proof of the interest of the claimant. A valid assignment
will take precedence over the claim of any Beneficiary.
SUICIDE
Suicide within two years of the Issue Date is not covered by the Policy.
If either Insured dies by suicide, while sane or insane, within two
years from the Issue Date (or within the maximum period permitted by the
laws of the state in which the Policy was delivered, if less than two
years), the amount payable will be limited to premiums paid, less any
partial withdrawals and outstanding Indebtedness subject to certain
limitations.
If the either Insured is a Missouri citizen when the Policy is issued,
this provision does not apply on the Issue Date of the Policy, unless
that Insured intended suicide when the Policy was applied for.
MISSTATEMENT OF AGE OR SEX AND CORRECTIONS
If the age or sex (except in unisex Policies, see Unisex Requirements
Under Montana Law) of the Insureds has been misstated in the
application, the amount of the death benefit will be that which the most
recent cost of insurance charge would have purchased for the correct age
and sex.
Any payment or Policy changes made by the Company in good faith, relying
on its records or evidence supplied with respect to such payment, will
fully discharge the Company's duty. The Company reserves the right to
correct any errors in the Policy.
ADDITIONAL INSURANCE BENEFITS
Subject to certain requirements, one or more of the following additional
insurance benefits may be added to a Policy by rider. The descriptions
below are intended to be general; the terms of the Policy riders
providing the additional benefits may vary from state to state, and the
Policy should be consulted. The cost of any additional insurance
benefits which require additional charges will be deducted as part of
the monthly deduction from the Policy's Cash Value. (See Charges and
Deductions - Monthly Deduction.) Certain restrictions may apply and are
described in the applicable rider. An insurance agent authorized to
sell the Policy can describe these extra benefits further. Samples of
the provisions are available from General American upon written request.
WAIVER OF SPECIFIED PREMIUM RIDER. Provides for crediting the Policy's
Cash Value with a specified monthly premium while the covered Insured is
totally disabled. The monthly premium selected at issue is not
guaranteed to keep the Policy in force. The covered Insured must have
become disabled after age 5 and before age 65.
ADJUSTABLE BENEFIT TERM RIDER. This rider allows an employer who is the
Owner to provide adjustable term insurance to comply with the terms of
an associated employee benefit plan. The increase in coverage occurs on
each Policy Anniversary.
ANNIVERSARY PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL RIDER. This rider allows the owner to
withdraw up to 15% of the Policy's Cash Surrender Value on any Policy
Anniversary without reducing the Face Amount. A Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge will still apply.
JOINT SUPPLEMENTAL COVERAGE TERM RIDER. This rider provides level term
insurance on the lives of the Insureds under the base policy. It can be
added only
34
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
at issue. It cannot be increased or added to an existing Policy.
SECONDARY GUARANTEE RIDER. This rider guarantees that if, during the
secondary guarantee period, the sum of all premiums paid on the Policy,
reduced by any partial withdrawals and any outstanding loan balance, is
greater than or equal to the sum of the secondary guarantee premiums
required since the Issue Date, the Policy will not lapse as a result of
a Cash Value less any loans, loans interest due, and any surrender
charge being insufficient to pay the monthly deduction.
The secondary guarantee period is the number of Policy Years until the
younger Insured reaches Attained Age 100.
LIFETIME COVERAGE RIDER. This rider provides the continuation of the
Policy's face amount beyond the younger Insured's Attained Age 100,
provided the policy remains in force to that date with a positive cash
surrender value. If the Policy is in force after the younger Insured's
Attained Age 100, the death benefit will be the greater of the face
amount or 101% of the Cash Value.
DIVORCE SPLIT RIDER. This rider allows the Policy to be split into two
separate policies in the event of the divorce of a married couple who
are the Insureds under the Policy.
ESTATE PRESERVATION TERM RIDER. This rider provides joint level term
insurance, payable at the death of the Last Insured, for a period of
four years from the date of the rider.
RECORDS AND REPORTS
The Company will maintain all records relating to the Separate Account
and will mail to the Owner once each Policy Year, at the last known
address of record, a report which shows the current Policy values,
premiums paid, deductions made since the last report, and any
outstanding Policy Loans. The Owner will also be sent a periodic
report for each Fund. Receipt of premium payments, transfers, partial
withdrawals, Pro-Rata Surrenders, Policy Loans, loan repayments, changes
in death benefit options, decreases in Face Amount, surrenders and
reinstatements will be confirmed promptly following each transaction.
An Owner may request in writing a projection of illustrated future Cash
Surrender Values and death benefits. This projection will be furnished
by the Company for a nominal fee which will not exceed $25.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES
The Policy will be sold by individuals who, in addition to being
licensed as life insurance agents for the Company, are also registered
representatives of Walnut Street Securities, Inc. ("Walnut Street"),
the principal underwriter of the Policy, or of broker-dealers who have
entered into written sales agreements with Walnut Street. Walnut Street
was incorporated under the laws of Missouri in 1984 and is a wholly-
owned subsidiary of General American Holding Company, which is, in turn,
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Walnut Street is registered
with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-
dealer and is a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc. No director or officer of Walnut Street owns any units in
the Separate Account.
Writing agents will receive commissions based on a commission schedule
and rules. Currently, agent first-year commissions equal 50% of target
premiums and 2.25% of excess premium paid in Policy Year 1. In renewal
years, the agent commissions vary from 1.0% to 2.0% of premiums paid in
Policy Years 2 and later, depending on the agent's contract type. An
additional service fee, determined as a percentage of the Policy's
unloaned Cash Value, is also paid. The percentage varies by Policy Year
from 0% to 0.20% of average monthly unloaned assets. Reductions may be
possible under the circumstances outlined in the section entitled
Adjustment of Charges. General Agents receive compensation which may be
in part based on the level of agent commissions in their agencies.
As principal underwriter for the Policies, Walnut Street receives
commission income. Walnut Street receives an administrative fee of 2%
of premium from sales of the Policies.
The general agent commission schedules and rules differ for different
types of agency contracts.
General American may use other distribution channels to sell the non-
participating version of the Policy.
FEDERAL TAX MATTERS
INTRODUCTION
The following summary provides a general description of the Federal
income tax considerations associated with the Policy and does not
purport to be complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is
35
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
not intended as tax advice. Counsel or other competent tax Advisors
should be consulted for more complete information. This discussion is
based upon General American's understanding of the present Federal
income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal
Revenue Service. No representation is made as to the likelihood of
continuation of the present Federal income tax laws or of the current
interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service.
TAX STATUS OF THE POLICY
Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") includes a definition of a life insurance contract for Federal
tax purposes. The Secretary of the Treasury (the "Treasury") issued
proposed regulations which specify what will be considered reasonable
mortality charges under Section 7702. Guidance as to how Section 7702
is to be applied is, however, limited. If a Policy were determined not
to be a life insurance contract for purposes of Section 7702, such
Policy would not provide most of the tax advantages normally provided by
a life insurance policy.
With respect to a Policy issued on a basis of a standard premium class
or on a guaranteed or simplified issue basis, while there is some
uncertainty due to the limited guidance under Section 7702, the Company
believes that such a Policy should meet the Section 7702 definition of a
life insurance contract. However, with respect to a Policy issued on a
substandard basis (i.e., a premium class involving higher than standard
mortality risk), it is not clear whether such a Policy would satisfy
Section 7702, particularly if the Owner pays the full amount of premiums
permitted under the Policy.
If it is subsequently determined that a Policy does not satisfy Section
7702, the Company will take whatever steps are appropriate and necessary
to attempt to cause such a Policy to comply with Section 7702, including
possibly refunding any premiums paid that exceed the limitations
allowable under Section 7702 (together with interest or other earnings
on any such premiums refunded as required by law). For these reasons,
the Company reserves the right to modify the Policy as necessary to
attempt to qualify it as a life insurance contract under Section 7702.
Section 817(h) of the Code authorizes the Treasury to set standards by
regulation or otherwise for the investments of the Separate Account to
be "adequately diversified" in order for the Policy to be treated as a
life insurance contract for Federal tax purposes. The Separate Account,
intends to comply with the diversification requirements prescribed by
the Treasury in Regulation Section 1.817-5, which affect how assets may
be invested. Although General American does not control the Funds, it
has entered into agreements, which require these investment companies to
be operated in compliance with the requirements prescribed by the
Treasury.
The IRS has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner
will be considered the owner of separate account assets, for federal
income tax purposes, if the contract owner possesses incidents of
ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment
control over the assets. If that were to be determined to be the case,
income and gains from the separate account assets would be includible in
the variable contract owner's gross income. 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 of 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
subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets."
The ownership rights under the Policy are different in certain respects
from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was determined
that policy owners were not owners of separate account assets. For
example, the Owner has additional flexibility in allocating Premium
payments and Policy 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 Policy 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.
The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life
insurance contract for Federal income tax purposes.
l. TAX TREATMENT OF POLICY BENEFITS. In general, the Company believes
that the proceeds and Cash Value increases of a Policy should be treated
in a
36
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
manner consistent with a fixed-benefit life insurance policy for Federal
income tax purposes. Thus, the death benefit under the Policy should be
excludable from the gross income of the Beneficiary under Section
101(a)(1) of the Code, unless a transfer for value (generally a sale of
the policy) has occurred.
Many changes or transactions involving a Policy may have tax
consequences, depending on the circumstances. Such changes include, but
are not limited to, the exchange of the Policy, a change of the Policy's
Face Amount, a Policy Loan, an additional premium payment, a Policy
lapse with an outstanding Policy Loan, a partial withdrawal, or a
surrender of the Policy. In addition, Federal estate and state and
local estate, inheritance, and other tax consequences of ownership or
receipt of Policy proceeds depend upon the circumstances of each Owner
or Beneficiary. A competent tax adviser should be consulted for further
information.
A Policy may also be used in various arrangements, including non-
qualified deferred compensation or salary continuation plans, split
dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit
plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans may vary depending
on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual
arrangement. Therefore, if you are contemplating the use of a
Policy in any arrangement the value of which depends in part on its tax
consequences, you should be sure to consult a qualified tax adviser
regarding the tax attributes of the particular arrangement.
Generally, the Owner will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of
the Policy's Cash Value, including increments thereof, under the Policy
until there is a distribution. The tax consequences of distributions
from, and Policy Loans taken from or secured by, a Policy depend upon
whether the Policy is classified as a "modified endowment contract".
However, upon a complete surrender or lapse of any Policy, if the amount
received plus the amount of outstanding Indebtedness exceeds the total
investment in the Policy, the excess will generally be treated as
ordinary income subject to tax.
2. MODIFIED ENDOWMENT CONTRACTS. A policy may be treated as a
modified endowment contract depending upon the amount of premiums paid
in relation to the death benefit provided under such Policy. The
premium limitation rules for determining whether a Policy is a modified
endowment contract are extremely complex. In general, however, a Policy
will be a modified endowment contract if the accumulated premiums paid
at any time during the first seven Policy Years exceed the sum of the
net level premiums which would have been paid on or before such time if
the Policy provided for paid-up future benefits (based on the lowest
level of benefits in effect for the Policy) after the payment of seven
level annual premiums.
In addition, if a Policy is "materially changed" it may cause such
Policy to be treated as a modified endowment contract. The material
change rules for determining whether a Policy is a modified endowment
contract are also extremely complex. In general, however, the
determination of whether a Policy will be a modified endowment contract
after a material change generally depends upon the relationship among
the death benefit at the time of such change, the Cash Value at the time
of the change and the additional premiums paid in the seven Policy Years
starting with the date on which the material change occurs.
Moreover, a life insurance contract received in exchange for a life
insurance contract classified as a modified endowment contract will also
be treated as a modified endowment contract. A reduction in a Policy's
benefits may also cause such Policy to become a modified endowment
contract.
Due to the Policy's flexibility, classification of a Policy as a
modified endowment contract will depend upon the circumstances of each
Policy. The Company has, however, adopted administrative steps designed
to protect an Owner against the possibility that the Policy might become
a modified endowment contract. The Company believes the safeguards are
adequate for most situations, but it cannot provide complete assurance
that a Policy will not be classified as a modified endowment contract.
At the time a premium is credited which would cause the Policy to become
a modified endowment contract, the Company will notify the Owner that
unless a refund of the excess premium is requested by the Owner, the
Policy will become a modified endowment contract. The Owner will have
30 days after receiving such notification to request the refund. The
excess premium paid will be returned to the Owner upon receipt by the
Company of the refund request. The amount to be refunded will be
deducted from the Policy Cash Value in the Divisions of the Separate
Account and in the General Account in the same proportion as the premium
payment was allocated to such Divisions.
Accordingly, a prospective Owner should contact a competent tax adviser
before purchasing a Policy to determine the circumstances under which
the Policy would be a modified endowment contract. In addition, an
Owner should contact a competent tax
37
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
adviser before paying any additional premiums or making any other change
to, including an exchange of, a Policy to determine whether such premium
or change would cause the Policy (or the new Policy in the case of an
exchange) to be treated as a modified endowment contract.
3. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Policies classified as modified endowment contracts will be
subject to the following tax rules: First, all distributions, including
distributions upon surrender and benefits paid at maturity, from such a
Policy are treated as ordinary income subject to tax up to the amount
equal to the excess (if any) of the Cash Value immediately before the
distribution over the investment in the Policy (described below) at such
time. Second, Policy Loans taken from, or secured by, such a Policy, as
well as due but unpaid interest thereon, are treated as distributions
from such a Policy and taxed accordingly. Third, a 10 percent
additional income tax is imposed on the portion of any distribution
from, or Policy Loan taken from or secured by, such a Policy that (a) is
included in income, except where the distribution or Policy Loan is made
on or after the Owner attains age 59 1/2, (b) is attributable to the
Owner's becoming disabled, or (c) is part of a series of substantially
equal periodic payments for the life (or life expectancy) of the Owner
or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Owner and the
Owner's Beneficiary.
4. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM POLICIES NOT CLASSIFIED AS MODIFIED ENDOWMENT
CONTRACT. Distributions from Policies not classified as a modified
endowment contracts are generally treated as first recovering the
investment in the Policy (described below) and then, only after the
return of all such investment in the Policy, as distributing taxable
income. An exception to this general rule occurs in the case of a
decrease in the Policy's death benefit (possibly including a partial
withdrawal) or any other change that reduces benefits under the Policy
in the first 15 years after the Policy is issued and that results in
cash distribution to the Owner in order for the Policy to continue
complying with the Section 7702 definitional limits. Such a cash
distribution will be taxed in whole or in part as ordinary income (to
the extent of any gain in the Policy) under rules prescribed in Section
7702.
Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract are not treated as distributions. Instead, such
loans are treated as indebtedness of the Owner.
Upon a complete surrender or lapse of a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract, if the amount received plus the amount of
indebtedness exceeds the total investment in the Policy, the excess
will generally be treated as ordinary income subject to tax.
Neither distributions (including distributions upon surrender or lapse)
nor Policy Loans from, or secured by, a Policy that is not a modified
endowment contract are subject to the 10 percent additional income tax.
If a Policy which is not a modified endowment contract subsequently
becomes a modified endowment contract, then any distribution made from
the Policy within two years prior to the date of such change in status
may become taxable.
5. POLICY LOAN INTEREST. Generally, interest paid on any loan under
a life insurance Policy owned by an individual is not deductible. In
addition, interest on any loan under a life insurance Policy owned by a
business taxpayer on the life of any individual who is an officer of or
is financially interested in the business carried on by that taxpayer is
deductible only under certain very limited circumstances. AN OWNER
SHOULD CONSULT A COMPETENT TAX ADVISER BEFORE DEDUCTING ANY LOAN
INTEREST.
6. INTEREST EXPENSE ON UNRELATED INDEBTEDNESS. Under provisions
added to the Code in 1997 for policies issued after June 8, 1997, if a
business taxpayer owns or is the beneficiary of a Policy on the life of
any individual who is not an officer, director, employee, or 20 percent
owner of the business, and the taxpayer also has debt unrelated to the
Policy, a portion of the taxpayer's unrelated interest expense
deductions may be lost. No business taxpayer should purchase or
exchange a Policy on the life of any individual who is not an officer,
director, employee, or 20 percent owner of the business without first
consulting a competent tax Advisor.
7. INVESTMENT IN THE POLICY. Investment in the Policy means (i) the
aggregate amount of any premiums or other consideration paid for a
Policy, minus (ii) the aggregate amount received under the Policy which
is excluded from gross income of the Owner (except that the amount of
any Policy Loan from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified
endowment contract, to the extent such amount is excluded from gross
income, will be disregarded), plus (iii) the amount of any Policy Loan
from, or secured by, a Policy that is a modified endowment contract to
the extent that such amount is included in the gross income of the
Owner.
38
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
8. MULTIPLE POLICIES. All modified endowment contracts that are
issued by the Company (or its affiliates) to the same Owner during any
calendar year are treated as one modified endowment contract for
purposes of determining the amount includible in gross income under
Section 72(e) of the Code.
9. POSSIBLE CHARGE FOR TAXES. At the present time, the Company makes
no charge to the Separate Account for any Federal, state, or local taxes
(as opposed to Premium Tax Charges which are deducted from premium
payments) that it incurs which may be attributable to such Separate
Account or to the Policies. The Company, however, reserves the right in
the future to make a charge for any such tax or other economic burden
resulting from the application of the tax laws that it determines to be
properly attributable to the Separate Account or to the Policies.
10. POSSIBLE CHANGES IN TAXATION. As of the date of this Prospectus,
the President's budget for fiscal year 1999 contains a number of
proposals that would adversely affect the Federal income tax treatment
of life insurance contracts. Of particular importance to owners of
variable life insurance contracts such as the Policy are two proposals
under which, if adopted: (1) the inside buildup of variable life
insurance contracts like the Policy would be taxed whenever cash values
were reallocated among the available investment options, for example, if
the Periodic and Variance Rebalancing options available under the Policy
were used, and (2) it would no longer be possible to exchange a variable
life insurance contract tax free under Code section 1035. Moreover, it
is always possible that any changes in the tax treatment of life
insurance contracts could be effective prior to the date of any new
legislation.
UNISEX REQUIREMENTS UNDER MONTANA LAW
The State of Montana generally prohibits the use of actuarial tables
that distinguish between men and women in determining premiums and
Policy benefits for policies issued on the lives of their residents.
Therefore, all Policies offered by this Prospectus to insure residents
of Montana will have premiums and benefits which are based on actuarial
tables that do not differentiate on the basis of sex.
SAFEKEEPING OF THE SEPARATE ACCOUNT'S ASSETS
General American holds the assets of the Separate Account in a custodial
account in its name at the Bank of New York. The Company maintains
records of all purchases and redemptions of applicable Fund shares by
each of the Divisions. Additional protection for the assets of the
Separate Account is afforded by a blanket fidelity bond issued by
Lloyd's Underwriters in the amount of five million dollars, covering all
officers and employees of the Company who have access to the assets of
the Separate Account.
VOTING RIGHTS
Based on its understanding of current applicable legal requirements, the
Company will vote the shares of the Funds held in the Separate Account
at regular and special shareholder meetings of the mutual funds in
accordance with the instructions received from persons having voting
interests in the corresponding Divisions of the Separate Account. If,
however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or
if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result the
Company determines that it is permitted to vote shares of the Fund in
its own right, it may elect to do so. No voting privileges apply to the
Policies with respect to Cash Value removed from the Separate Account as
a result of a Policy Loan.
The number of votes which an Owner has the right to instruct will be
calculated separately for each Division. Voting rights reflect the
dollar value of the total number of units of each Division of the
Separate Account credited to the Owner at the record date, rather than
the number of units alone. Fractional shares will be counted. The
number of votes of the Fund which the Owner has the right to instruct
will be determined as of the date coincident with the date established
by that Fund for determining shareholders eligible. Voting instructions
will be solicited by written communications prior to such meeting in
accordance with procedures established by the mutual funds.
The company will vote shares of a Fund for which no timely instructions
are received in proportion to the voting instructions which are received
with respect to that Fund. The Company will also vote any shares of the
Funds which are not attributable to Policies in the same proportion.
Each person having a voting interest in a Division will receive any
proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate
Fund.
DISREGARD OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. The Company may, when required by
state insurance regulatory authorities, disregard voting instructions if
the instructions require that the shares be voted so as to
39
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
cause a change in the subclassification or investment objective of the
Fund or to approve or disapprove an investment Advisory contract for a
Fund. In addition, the Company itself may disregard voting instructions
in favor of changes initiated by an Owner in the investment policy or
the investment adviser or sub-adviser of a Fund if the Company
reasonably disapproves of such changes. A proposed change would be
disapproved only if the proposed change is contrary to state law or
prohibited by state regulatory authorities, or the Company determined
that the change would have an adverse effect on its General Account in
that the proposed investment policy for a Fund may result in overly
speculative or unsound investments. If the Company disregards voting
instructions, a summary of that action and the reasons for such action
will be included in the next annual report to Owners.
STATE REGULATION OF THE COMPANY
The Company, a stock life insurance company organized under the laws of
Missouri, and the Separate Account are subject to regulation by the
Missouri Department of Insurance. An annual statement is filed with the
Director of Insurance on or before March 1st of each year covering the
operations and reporting on the financial condition of the Company as of
December 31 of the preceding year. Periodically, the Director of
Insurance examines the liabilities and reserves of the Company and the
Separate Account and certifies their adequacy, and a full examination of
the Company's operations is conducted by the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners at least once every three years.
In addition, the Company is subject to the insurance laws and
regulations of other states within which it is licensed or may become
licensed to operate. Generally, the insurance departments of other
states apply the laws of the state of domicile in determining
permissible investments.

LEGAL MATTERS
All matters of Missouri law pertaining to the Policy, including the
validity of the Policy and General American's right to issue the Policy
under Missouri insurance law, have been passed upon by Matthew P.
McCauley, Vice President and Associate General Counsel of General
American.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no legal proceedings to which the Separate Account is a party
or to which the assets of the Separate Account are subject. General
American is not involved in any litigation that is of material
importance in relation to its total assets or that relates to the
Separate Account.
EXPERTS
The audited financial statements of General American and the Separate
Account have been included in this Prospectus in reliance on the reports
of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP independent certified public accountants, and
on the authority of said firm as experts in accounting and auditing.
The report of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP covering the December 31, 1997
financial statements of General American refers to the adoption of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 120, Accounting and
Reporting by Mutual Life Insurance Enterprises and by Insurance
Enterprises for Certain Long-Duration Participating Contracts.
Actuarial matters included in this Prospectus have been examined by
Susan Benjamin, FSA, MAAA, Senior Product Actuary of General American,
as stated in the opinion filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
A registration statement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect
to the Policy offered hereby. This Prospectus does not contain all the
information set forth in the registration statement and the amendments
and exhibits to the registration statement, to all of which reference is
made for further information concerning the Separate Account, General
American and the Policy offered hereby. Statements contained in this
Prospectus as to the contents of the Policy and other legal instruments
are summaries. For a complete statement of the terms thereof reference
is made to such instruments as filed.
Like all financial services providers, General American utilizes systems
that may be affected by the Year 2000 transition issues, and it relies
on services providers, including the Funds, that may also be affected.
The Company has developed, and is in the process of implementing, a Year
2000 transition plan, and is confirming that its services providers are
also so engaged. The resources that are being devoted to this effort
are substantial. It is difficult to predict with precision whether the
amount of resources ultimately devoted, or the outcome of these efforts,
will have any negative impact on the Company. However, as of the date
of this prospectus, we do not anticipate that Policy Owners will
experience negative effects on their investment, or on the services
provided in connection therewith, as a result of Year 2000 transition
implementation. General American currently anticipates that its systems
will be Year 2000 compliant, but there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful, or that interaction with other service
providers will not impair the Company's services at that time.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements of General American which are included in this
Prospectus should be distinguished from the financial statements of the
Separate Account, and should be considered only as bearing on the
ability of General American to meet its obligations under the Policy.
They should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance
of the assets held in the Separate Account. Financial information is
not provided for four of the seventeen Divisions of the Separate Account
because those Divisions have only recently been established, and
therefore no operating history exists for those Divisions.
Interim financial statements for General American or the Separate
Account are not part of this prospectus because General American does
not prepare audited financial statements more often than annually, and
believes that any incremental benefit to prospective Policy Owners that
may result from preparing and delivering more current financial
statements, though unaudited, does not justify the additional cost that
would be incurred. General American represents that there have been no
adverse changes in the financial condition or operations of General
American or the Separate Account between the end of the most recent
fiscal year and the date of this prospectus.

APPENDIX A
Illustrations of Death Benefits and Cash Values
The following tables illustrate how the Cash Value, Cash Surrender
Value, and death benefit of a Policy change with the investment
experience of a Division of the Separate Account. The tables show how
the Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, and death benefit of a Policy
issued to Insureds of a given age and at a given premium would vary over
time if the investment return on the assets held in each Division of the
Separate Account were a uniform, gross, after-tax annual rate of 0%, 6%,
or 12%. The tables illustrate a Policy issued in Missouri (using a 2%
premium tax rate and a 1.3% federal tax charge) to a male and a female
Insured, for both ages 35 and 50, in a preferred nonsmoker rate class.
If either Insured falls into a smoker rate class, the Cash Values, Cash
Surrender Values, and death benefits would be lower than those shown in
the tables. In addition, the Cash Values, Cash Surrender Values, and
death benefits would be different from those shown if the gross annual
investment rates of return averaged 0%, 6%, and 12% over a period of
years, but fluctuated above and below those averages for individual
Policy Years.
The Cash Value column under the "Guaranteed" heading shows the
accumulated value of the Net Premiums paid at the stated interest rate,
reflecting deduction of all policy charges described in this prospectus
at the guaranteed maximum rate. The Cash Surrender Value column under
the "Guaranteed" heading shows the projected Cash Surrender Value of the
Policy, which is calculated by taking the Cash Value under the
"Guaranteed" heading and deducting any appropriate Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge. The Cash value column under the "Current" heading shows
the accumulated value of the Net Premiums paid at the stated interest
rate, reflecting deduction of all policy charges as described in this
prospectus at the current rate. The Cash Surrender Value column under
the "Current" heading shows the projected Cash Surrender Value of the
Policy, which is calculated by taking the Cash Value under the "Current"
heading and deducting any appropriate Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.
The illustrations of death benefits reflect the above assumptions. The
death benefits also vary between tables depending upon whether Death
Benefit Options A or C (Level Type) or Death Benefit Option B
(Increasing Type) are illustrated.
The amounts deducted from the Cash Value in the illustrations include
the sales charge, premium tax, federal tax charge, selection and issue
expense charge, monthly administrative charge, and cost of insurance.
These charges are described in the prospectus under Charges and
Deductions.
The amounts shown for Cash Value, Cash Surrender Value, and death
benefit reflect charges that produce an investment rate of return that
is lower than the gross after-tax return on the assets held in a
Division of the Separate Account. The charges include a charge for
mortality and expense risk (equivalent to .55% for Policy Years 1-10,
.45% for Policy Years 11-20, and .35% thereafter), and an assumed .78%
charge for the investment Advisory fee and Fund administrative expenses
combined, based on the average Fund expense for all available investment
Funds. The actual investment advisory fee applicable to each Division
is shown in the respective Prospectuses of each Fund. After deduction
for these amounts, the illustrated gross annual investment rates of
return of 0%, 6%, and 12% correspond to approximate initial net annual
rates of -1.33%, 4.67%, and 10.67%, respectively. The Prospectuses for
each Fund should be consulted for details about the nature and extent of
their expenses.
The hypothetical values shown in the tables do not reflect any charges
for Federal income taxes against the Separate Account (as opposed to
Premium Charges which are deducted from premium payments), since General
American is not currently making any such charges. However, such
charges may be made in the future and, in that event, the gross annual
investment rate of return of the Divisions of the Separate Account would
have to exceed 0%, 6%, and 12% by an amount sufficient to cover the tax
charges in order to produce the death benefit and Cash Value
illustration. (See Federal Tax Matters.)
The tables illustrate the Policy values that would result based upon the
investment rates of return if premiums are paid as indicated, if all Net
Premiums are allocated to the Separate Account, if no Policy Loans have
been made. The tables are also based on the assumptions that the Owner
has not requested a decrease in the Face Amount, that no partial
withdrawals have been made, that no transfer charges were incurred, and
that no optional riders have been requested.
Upon request, General American will provide a comparable illustration
based upon the proposed Insureds' age, sex, and rate class, the Face
Amount or premium requested, the proposed frequency of premium payments,
and any available riders requested.

PART II
UNDERTAKING TO FILE REPORTS
Subject to the terms and conditions of Section 15(d) of the Securities
and Exchange Act of 1934, the undersigned registrant hereby undertakes
to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such supplementary
and periodic information, documents, and reports as may be prescribed by
any rule or regulation of the Commission heretofore, or hereafter duly
adopted pursuant to authority conferred in that section.
RULE 484 UNDERTAKING
Section 351.355 of the Missouri General and Business Corporation Law, in
brief, allows a corporation to indemnify any person who is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
or investigative by reason of the fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with
such action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
When any person was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party in
an action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the Fact that he is or was a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, indemnification may be
paid unless such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for
negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation.
In the event of such a determination indemnification is allowed if a court
determines that the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.
A corporation has the power to give any further indemnity to any person
who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent, provided for in the
articles of incorporation or as authorized by any by-law which has been
adopted by vote of the shareholders, provided that no such indemnity shall
indemnify any person's conduct which was finally adjudged to have been
knowingly fraudulent, deliberately dishonest, or willful misconduct.
In accordance with Missouri law, General American's Board of Directors,
at its meeting on 19 November 1987, and the policyholders of General
American at the annual meeting held on 26 January 1988, adopted the
following resolutions:
"BE IT RESOLVED THAT
II-1
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
1. The company shall indemnify any person who is, or was a
director, officer, or employee of the company, or is or was
serving at the request of the company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
venture, trust or other enterprise, against any and all expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in
connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, or
investigative action, proceeding, or claim (including an action by
or in the right of the company), by reason of the fact that he or
she was serving in such capacity if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the company; provided that such
person's conduct is not finally adjudged to have been knowingly
fraudulent, deliberately dishonest, or willful misconduct.
2. The indemnification provided herein shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which a director, officer, or
employee may be entitled under any agreement, vote of
policyholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to
action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another
capacity which holding such office, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director, officer, or employee and
shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person."
Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or
otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the
securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPRESENTATIONS PURSUANT TO RULE 6e-3(T)
This filing is made pursuant to Rules 6c-3 and 6e-3(T) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
Registrant elects to be governed by Rule 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(i)(A) under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 with respect to the Policies described in
the Prospectuses.
Registrant makes the following representations:
(1) Section 6e-3(T)(b)(13)(iii)(F) has been relied upon.
(2) The level of the mortality and expense risk charge is
within the range of industry practice for comparable
flexible premium variable life insurance policies, and
is reasonable in relation to the risks assumed by the
Company under the Policies.
(3) Registrant has concluded that there is a reasonable
likelihood that the distribution financing arrangement
of the Separate Account will benefit the Separate
Account and Owners and will keep and make available to
the Commission on request a memorandum setting forth
the basis for this representation.
(4) The Separate Account will invest only in management
investment companies which have undertaken to have a
board of directors or trustees, a majority of whom are
not interested persons of the company, formulate and
approve any plan under Rule 12b-1 to finance
distribution expenses.
The methodology used to support the representation made in paragraph (2)
above is based on an analysis of the mortality and expense risk charges
