FIRST ALLMERICA FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
SUPPLEMENT TO PROSPECTUSES DATED MAY 1, 1999
***
Under FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS, D. Provisions Applicable to Qualified Employer
Plans, the following is added as the first paragraph:
Federal income taxation of assets held inside a qualified retirement plan and of
earnings on those assets is deferred until distribution of plan benefits begins.
As such, it is not necessary to purchase a variable annuity contract solely to
obtain its tax deferral feature. However, other features offered under this
Contract and described in this Prospectus - such as the minimum guaranteed death
benefit, the guaranteed fixed annuity rates and the wide variety of investment
options - may make this Contract a suitable investment for your qualified
retirement plan.
