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
                           outstanding instruction you have on file with us
                           designates the Bond and Income Subaccount, the
                           instruction will be deemed an instruction for the
                           Managed Bond Subaccount. Instructions include, but
                           are not limited to instructions for Purchase
                           Payment allocations, any transfer or exchange

                       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

                           expenses for this Portfolio in 1999, after
                           deduction of an offset for custodian credits, were

                           placed with broker-dealers in return for credits,
                           cash, or other compensation that may be used to

                           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.
