AUGUST 15, 2000 SUPPLEMENT TO THE MAY 1, 2000 PROSPECTUS FOR VINTAGELIFE OFFERED
BY THE TRAVELERS LIFE AND ANNUITY COMPANY.
The following information replaces page 26 of the Prospectus.
securities held in the Underlying Funds is not reasonably practicable or the
value of the Investment Option's net assets cannot be determined; or (4) during
any other period when the SEC, by order, so permits for the protection of
security holders.
DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be paid under the Policy.
MIXED AND SHARED FUNDING
It is conceivable that in the future it may not be advantageous for variable
life insurance and variable annuity Separate Accounts to invest in the
Investment Options simultaneously. This is called mixed funding. Certain funds
may be available to variable products of other companies not affiliated with
Travelers. This is called "shared funding." Although we -- and the funds -- do
not anticipate any disadvantages either to variable life insurance or to
variable annuity Policy Owners, the Investment Options' Boards of Directors
intend to monitor events to identify any material conflicts that may arise and
to determine what action, if any, should be taken. If any of the Investment
Options' Boards of Directors conclude that separate mutual funds should be
established for variable life insurance and variable annuity Separate Accounts,
the Company will bear the attendant expenses, but variable life insurance and
variable annuity Policy Owners would no longer have the economies of scale
resulting from a larger combined fund. Please consult the prospectuses of the
Investment Options for additional information.
DISTRIBUTION
The Company intends to sell the Contracts in all jurisdictions where it is
licensed to do business and where the Contract is approved. Any sales
representatives or employee associated with a broker-dealer who sells the
Contracts will be qualified to sell variable life insurance under applicable
federal and state laws. Each broker-dealer is registered with the SEC under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and all are members of the NASD. The Contract
is offered through both affiliated and non-affiliated broker-dealers.
The principal underwriter of the Contracts is CFBDS, Inc., 21 Milk Street,
Boston, MA. CFBDS is not affiliated with the Company or the Separate Account.
However, it is currently anticipated that Travelers Distribution LLC, an
affiliated broker-dealer, may become the principal underwriter for the Contracts
sometime in 2000.
The maximum commission payable by the Company for distribution to the
broker-dealer will not exceed 6.5% of the premium payment. From time to time,
the Company may pay or permit other promotional incentives in cash, credit or
other compensation.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND OPINION
There are no pending material legal proceedings affecting the Policy, Separate
Account or any of the Investment Options. Legal matters in connection with
federal laws and regulations affecting the issue and sale of the Policy
described in this Prospectus and the organization of the Company, its authority
to issue the Policy under Connecticut law and the validity of the forms of the
Policy under Connecticut law have been passed on by the General Counsel of the
Company.
