transaction described reorganization occurs, the corresponding Subaccount

Income Subaccount will automatically be transferred
to the Managed Bond Subaccount in exchange for
corresponding units of that Investment Option. The

You need not take any action regarding the
reorganization. The transfer of your units will
occur automatically on the reorganization date.
If you do not wish to participate in the Managed
Bond Investment Option, you can transfer among the
Investment Options as usual. There will be no
charge on transfers for at least 60 days from the
reorganization date. Thereafter, Pacific Life
reserves the right to impose transfer fees for
transfers as stated in the Prospectus, but there is
no current plan to do so. Any transfer made during
this time will not count toward any limitation we
may impose on the number of transfers you may make
annually.
Unless you instruct us otherwise, to the extent any
outstanding instruction you have on file with us
designates the Bond and Income Subaccount, the
instruction will be deemed an instruction for the

This supplement replaces An Overview of Pacific Portfolios: Fees and Expenses
Paid by the Pacific Select Fund: Other Expenses with the following:
Other Expenses
The table also shows the Fund expenses for each
Portfolio based on expenses in 1999, adjusted to
reflect recently reduced custody fees. To help limit
Fund expenses, effective July 1, 2000 we have
contractually agreed to waive all or part of our
investment advisory fees or otherwise reimburse each
Portfolio for operating expenses (including
organizational expenses, but not including advisory
fees, additional costs associated with foreign
investing and extraordinary expenses) that exceed an
annual rate of 0.10% of its average daily net assets.
Such waiver or reimbursement is subject to repayment to
us to the extent such expenses fall below the 0.10%
expense cap. For each Portfolio, our right to repayment
is limited to amounts waived and/or reimbursed that
exceed the new 0.10% expense cap, but do not exceed the
previously established 0.25% expense cap. Any amounts
repaid to us will have the effect of increasing
expenses of the Portfolio, but not above the 0.10%
expense cap. There is no guarantee that we will
continue to cap expenses after December 31, 2001. In
1999, Pacific Life reimbursed the Small-Cap Index
Portfolio $96,949.

/1/ Total adjusted net expenses for these Portfolios in
1999, after deduction of an offset for custodian
credits were: 1.28% for Emerging Markets Portfolio,
0.64% for Managed Bond Portfolio, 0.38% for Money
Market Portfolio, and 0.64% for High Yield Bond
Portfolio.
/2/ Expenses are estimated. There were no actual
advisory fees or expenses for these Portfolios in
1999 because the Portfolios started after December
31, 1999.
/3/ Total adjusted net expenses for the Equity Index
Portfolio in 1999, after deduction of an offset for
custodian credits, were 0.28%. The advisory fee for
the Portfolio has also been adjusted to reflect the
advisory fee increase effective January 1, 2000.
The actual advisory fee and total adjusted net
expenses for this Portfolio in 1999, after
deduction of an offset for custodian credits, were
0.16% and 0.19%, respectively.
+ The Fund has adopted a brokerage enhancement 12b-1
plan, under which brokerage transactions may be
placed with broker-dealers in return for credits,
cash, or other compensation that may be used to
help promote distribution of Fund shares. There are
no fees or charges to any Portfolio under this
plan, although the Fund's distributor may defray
expenses of up to approximately $300,000 for the
year 2000, which it might otherwise incur for
distribution. If such defrayed amount were
considered a Fund expense, it would represent
approximately .0023% or less of any Portfolio's
average daily net assets.
