transaction described      reorganization occurs, the corresponding Subaccount
in this supplement.        Units and Subaccount Annuity Units of the Bond and
                           Income Subaccount will automatically be transferred
                           to the Managed Bond Subaccount in exchange for
                           corresponding units of that Investment Option. The
                           Bond and Income Subaccount will cease to exist.

                           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

                           instruction will be deemed an instruction for the

This supplement replaces An Overview of Pacific Value: 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.

                           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.

               connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claims,
               damages, liability or action. This indemnity agreement will be in
