THE CONTRACT AT A GLANCE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is a snapshot of the Contract. Please read the remainder of this
prospectus for more information.
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
FLEXIBLE PAYMENTS You can purchase a Contract with as little as $3,000 ($2,000
for "QUALIFIED CONTRACTS," which are Contracts issued with
QUALIFIED PLANS). You can add to your Contract as often and
as much as you like, but each payment must be at least $50.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RIGHT TO CANCEL You may cancel your Contract within 20 days of receipt or
any longer period as your state may require ("CANCELLATION
PERIOD"). Upon cancellation, we will return your purchase
payments adjusted, to the extent federal or state law
permits, to reflect the investment experience of any amounts
allocated to the Variable Account.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPENSES You will bear the following expenses:
- Total Variable Account annual fees equal to 1.35% of
average daily net assets (1.45% if you select the
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER)
- Annual contract maintenance charge of $35 (with certain
exceptions)
- Withdrawal charges ranging from 0% to 6% of purchase
payment withdrawn (with certain exceptions)
- Transfer fee of $10 after 12th transfer in any CONTRACT
YEAR (fee currently waived)
- State premium tax (if your state imposes one)
In addition, each Portfolio pays expenses that you will bear
indirectly if you invest in a Variable Sub-Account.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES The Contract offers 22 investment alternatives including:
- 2 Fixed Account Options (which credit interest at rates
we guarantee)

</TABLE>

<PAGE>
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INCOME PAYMENTS You can choose fixed income payments, variable income
payments, or a combination of the two. You can receive your
income payments in one of the following ways:
- life income with guaranteed payments
- a "joint and survivor" life income with guaranteed
payments
- guaranteed payments for a specified period (5 to 30
years)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFITS If you or the ANNUITANT (if the Contract is owned by a
non-natural person) die before the PAYOUT START DATE, we
will pay the death benefit described in the Contract. We
offer an Enhanced Death Benefit Rider.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS Before the Payout Start Date, you may transfer your Contract
value ("CONTRACT VALUE") among the investment alternatives,
with certain restrictions. Transfers to a Guarantee Period
of the Fixed Account must be at least $50.
We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers. However, we
reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th
transfer in each "Contract Year", which we measure from the
date we issue your contract or a Contract anniversary
("CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY").
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITHDRAWALS You may withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at
anytime prior to the Payout Start Date. In general, you must
withdraw at least $50 at a time. Full or partial withdrawals
are available under limited circumstances on or after the
Payout Start Date. A 10% federal tax penalty may apply if
you withdraw before you are 59 1/2 years old. A withdrawal
charge and MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT also may apply.
</TABLE>

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Contract basically works in two ways.
First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the CONTRACT OWNER) save for
retirement because you can invest in up to 22 investment alternatives and pay no
federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during
what we call the "ACCUMULATION PHASE" of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase
begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the "ISSUE DATE")
and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money
to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your
purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/or Fixed
Account Options. If you invest in any of the 2 Fixed Account Options, you will
earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest in any
of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down
depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.
Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to
receive retirement income for life and/or for a pre-set number of years, by
selecting one of the income payment options (we call these "INCOME PLANS")
described on page 23. You receive income payments during what we call the
"PAYOUT PHASE" of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and
continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select.
During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we
guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a
variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable
Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the
performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate
under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan
will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.
The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.

As the Contract owner, you exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by
the Contract. If you die, any surviving Contract owner or, if none, the
BENEFICIARY will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the Contract.
See "THE CONTRACT." In addition, if you die before the Payout Start Date, we
will pay a death benefit to any surviving Contract owner, or if there is none,
to your Beneficiary. See "DEATH BENEFITS."

</TABLE>
* The figures shown in the table are for the year ended December 31, 1999,
except as otherwise noted.
** Not available to new investors.
(1) The fund has a stepped fee schedule. As a result, the fund's management fee
rate generally decreases as fund assets increase.
(2) Initial Class.
(3) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
reduce fund expenses. In addition, through arrangements with certain funds'
or FMR on behalf of certain funds', custodian, credits realized as a result
of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of each applicable
fund's expenses. With these reductions, the total operating expenses
presented in the table would have been 0.65% for Contrafund-TM- Portfolio,
0.56% for Equity-Income Portfolio, and 0.65% for Growth Portfolio
(4) Each series has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the series'
custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the series with
its custodian and dividend disbursing agent. Each series may enter into
other such arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements, which would
also have the effect of reducing the series' expenses. "Other Expenses" do
not take into account these expense reductions, and are therefore higher
than the actual expenses of the series. Had these fee reductions been taken
into account, "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" would be lower for certain
series and would equal: 0.83% for Emerging Growth Series.
(5) MFS has contractually agreed, subject to reimbursement, to bear expenses for
these series such that each such series' "Other Expenses" (after taking into
account the expense offset arrangement described above), do not exceed the
following percentages of the average daily net assets of the series during
the current fiscal year: 0.45% for Limited Maturity Series. These
contractual fee arrangements will continue until at least May 1, 2001,
unless changed with the consent of the board of trustees which oversees the
series.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the
Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the "ACCUMULATION UNIT."
Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we
call "ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE." Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not
the same as, the share price of a mutual fund.
Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation
Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date the Contracts were first
offered. To obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account's finances,
please refer to the Variable Account's financial statements contained in the
Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of Glenbrook also
appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

THE CONTRACT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT OWNER
The Glenbrook Provider Variable Annuity is a contract between you, the Contract
owner, and Glenbrook, a life insurance company. As the Contract owner, you may
exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract. That
means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):
- - the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases,
- - the amount and timing of your purchase payments and withdrawals,
- - the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money,
- - the income payment plan you want to use to receive retirement income,
- - the Annuitant (either yourself or someone else) on whose life the income
payments will be based,
- - the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the
Contract provides when the last surviving Contract owner dies, and
- - any other rights that the Contract provides.
If you die, any surviving Contract owner, or , if none, the Beneficiary may
exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract.
The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-natural person and a natural
person.
You can use the Contract with or without a qualified plan. A qualified plan is a
personal retirement savings plan, such as an IRA or tax-sheltered annuity, that
meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualified plans may limit
or modify your rights and privileges under the Contract. We use the term
"Qualified Contract" to refer to a Contract issued with a qualified plan. See
"Qualified Plans" on page 27.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the individual whose life determines the amount and duration of
income payments (other than under Income Plans with guaranteed payments for a
specified period). You initially designate an Annuitant in your application. You
may change the Annuitant at any time prior to the Payout Start Date (only if the
Contract owner is a natural person). You may designate a joint Annuitant, who is
a second person on whose life income payments depend at the time you select an
Income Plan. We permit joint Annuitants only on or after the Payout Start Date.
If the Annuitant dies prior to the Payout Start Date, the new Annuitant will be:
(i) the youngest Contract owner; otherwise,
(ii) the youngest Beneficiary.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is the person who may elect to receive the death benefit or
become the new Contract owner if the sole surviving Contract owner dies before
the Payout Start Date. If the sole surviving Contract owner dies after the
Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments
scheduled to continue.
You may name one or more Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. You may
change or add Beneficiaries at any time, unless you have designated an
irrevocable Beneficiary. We will provide a change of Beneficiary form to be
signed and filed with us. Any change will be effective at the time you sign the
written notice. Until we receive your written notice to change a Beneficiary, we
are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information in our files. We
will not be liable as to any payment or settlement made prior to receiving the
written notice. Accordingly, if you wish to change your Beneficiary, you should
deliver your written notice to us promptly.
If you did not name a Beneficiary or, unless otherwise provided in the
Beneficiary designation, if a named Beneficiary is no longer living and there
are no other surviving Beneficiaries, the new Beneficiary will be:
- - your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive,
- - your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children,
- - your estate.
If more than one Beneficiary survives you (or survives the Annuitant, if the
Contract owner is not a natural person) we will divide the death benefit among
your Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you
have not given us written instructions, we will pay the death benefit in equal
amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Only a Glenbrook officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the
Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. None of our agents has the
authority to change or waive the provisions of the Contract. We may not change
the terms of the Contract without your consent, except to conform the Contract
to applicable law or changes in the law. If a provision of the Contract is
inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.
12 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
ASSIGNMENT
We will not honor an assignment of an interest in a Contract as collateral or
security for a loan. However, you may assign periodic income payments under the
Contract prior to the Payout Start Date. No Beneficiary may assign benefits
under the Contract until they are payable to the Beneficiary. We will not be
bound by any assignment until the assignor signs it and files it with us. We are
not responsible for the validity of any assignment. Federal law prohibits or
restricts the assignment of benefits under many types of retirement plans and
the terms of such plans may themselves contain restrictions on assignments. An
assignment may also result in taxes or tax penalties. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN
ATTORNEY BEFORE TRYING TO ASSIGN YOUR CONTRACT.
PURCHASES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Your initial purchase payment must be at least $3,000 ($2,000 for a Qualified
Contract). All subsequent purchase payments must be $50 or more. You may make
purchase payments at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. We reserve the
right to limit the maximum amount of purchase payments we will accept.
AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM
You may make subsequent purchase payments by automatically transferring money
from your bank account. Consult your sales representative for more detailed
information.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
At the time you apply for a Contract, you must decide how to allocate your
purchase payments among the investment alternatives. The allocation you specify
on your application will be effective immediately. All allocations must be in
whole percents that total 100% or in whole dollars. You can change your
allocations by notifying us in writing.
We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment alternatives according
to your most recent instructions on file with us. Unless you notify us in
writing otherwise, we will allocate subsequent purchase payments according to
the allocation for the previous purchase payment. We will effect any change in
allocation instructions at the time we receive written notice of the change in
good order.
We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed
application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment
at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to
complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit
your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that 5 business day
period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the
5 business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you
complete the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the
Contract at the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase
payment at our headquarters.
We are open for business each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as "VALUATION DATES."
Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m.
Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after
4 p.m. Eastern Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment
using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may cancel the Contract by returning it to us within the Cancellation
Period, which is the 20 day period after you receive the Contract, or a longer
period should your state require it. You may return your Contract by delivering
it or mailing it to us. If you exercise this "RIGHT TO CANCEL," the Contract
terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your purchase payments
allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your purchase payments
allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law
permits, to reflect investment gain or loss that occurred from the date of
allocation through the date of cancellation. Some states may require us to
return a greater amount.
In states where we are required to refund purchase payments, we reserve the
right during the Cancellation Period to invest any purchase payments you
allocated to a Variable Sub-Account to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account
available under the Contract. We will notify you if we do so. At the end of the
Cancellation Period, you may then allocate your money to other Variable
Sub-Accounts.
13 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the
sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you
have selected, plus the value of your Fixed Account Options.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to
credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment
Accumulation Units you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the
Accumulation Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we
receive your payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase
payment allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for
the Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that
Variable Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable
Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that
Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account
will rise or fall to reflect:
- - changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account
invests, and
- - the deduction of amounts reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge,
administrative expense charge, and any provision for taxes that have accrued
since we last calculated the Accumulation Unit Value.
We determine contract maintenance charges, withdrawal charges, and transfer fees
(currently waived) separately for each Contract. They do not affect Accumulation
Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming
Accumulation Units. For details on how we calculate Accumulation Unit Value,
please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account on
each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit
Values reflecting the cost of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced
Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider described on page 25 below.
YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THE FUNDS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS
PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE ASSETS OF EACH PORTFOLIO ARE VALUED,
SINCE THAT DETERMINATION DIRECTLY BEARS ON THE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE OF THE
CORRESPONDING VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNT AND, THEREFORE, YOUR CONTRACT VALUE.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate your purchase payments to up to 20 Variable Sub-Accounts. Each
Variable Sub-Account invests in the shares of a corresponding Portfolio. Each
Portfolio has its own investment objective(s) and policies. We briefly describe
the Portfolios below.
For more complete information about each Portfolio, including expenses and risks
associated with the Portfolio, please refer to the accompanying prospectuses for
the Funds. You should carefully review the Fund prospectuses before allocating
amounts to the Variable Sub-Accounts.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES : THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate all or a portion of your purchase payments to the Fixed
Account. You may choose from among 2 Fixed Account Options including a dollar
cost averaging option and the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods
included in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Options may
not be available in all states. Please consult with your sales representative
for current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity
obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those
in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of
the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to a Fixed
Account Option does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the
Fixed Account.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. Purchase payments that you allocate
to the DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION ("DCA FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION")
will earn interest for a one year period at the current rate in effect at the
time of allocation. We will credit interest daily at a rate that will compound
over the year to the annual interest rate we guaranteed at the time of
allocation. After the one year period, we will declare a renewal rate which we
guarantee for a full year. Subsequent renewal dates will be every twelve months
for each payment or transfer.
We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the DCA
Fixed Account Option. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more than 36
monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment and all
its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 36
months of payment. At the end of 36 months, we will transfer the remaining
payment and associated earnings to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account. No
transfers are permitted into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account.
We bear the investment risk for all amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Account
Option. That is because we guarantee the current and renewal interest rates we
credit to the amounts you allocate to this Option, which will never be less than
the minimum guaranteed rate in the Contract. Currently, we determine, in our
sole discretion, the amount of interest credited in excess of the guaranteed
rate.
We may declare more than one interest rate for different monies based upon the
date of allocation to the DCA Fixed Account Option. For current interest rate
information, please contact your sales representative or our customer support
unit at 1-800-755-5275.
GUARANTEE PERIODS
Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a
specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may
range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3,
5, 7, and ten years in length. In the future, we may offer Guarantee Periods of
different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.
You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not
select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for
your most recent purchase payment.
Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50.
We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that
you may allocate to this Option.
INTEREST RATES. We will tell you what interest rates and Guarantee Periods we
are offering at a particular time. We will not change the interest rate that we
credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee
Period. We may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the
same length that begin at different times.
We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest that we will
declare initially or in the future. We will set those interest rates based on
investment returns available at the time of the determination. In addition, we
may consider various other factors in determining interest rates including
regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative
expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. WE DETERMINE THE
INTEREST RATES TO BE DECLARED IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. WE CAN NEITHER PREDICT NOR
GUARANTEE WHAT THOSE RATES WILL BE IN THE FUTURE. For current interest rate
information, please contact your sales representative or Glenbrook at
1-800-755-5275.

HOW WE CREDIT INTEREST. We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated
to a Guarantee Period at a rate that compounds to the annual interest rate that
we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period. The following
example illustrates how a purchase payment allocated to a Guaranteed Period
would grow, given an assumed Guarantee Period and annual interest rate:

</TABLE>
TOTAL INTEREST CREDITED DURING GUARANTEE PERIOD = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82-$10,000)
This example assumes no withdrawals during the entire 5 year Guarantee Period.
If you were to make a withdrawal, you may be required to pay a withdrawal
charge. In addition, the amount withdrawn may be increased or decreased by a
Market Value Adjustment that reflects changes in interest rates since the time
you invested the amount withdrawn. The hypothetical interest rate is for
illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict future interest rates
to be declared under the Contract. Actual interest rates declared for any given
Guarantee Period may be more or less than shown above.
RENEWALS. Prior to the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice
asking you what to do with your money, including the accrued interest. During
the 30- day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may:
1) take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new
Guarantee Period of the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period.
The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee
Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared
rate for a Guarantee Period of that length; or
2) instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of
your choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the
previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then
current declared rate for those Guarantee Periods; or
3) instruct us to transfer all or a portion of your money to one or more
Variable Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. We will effect the
transfer on the day we receive your instructions. We will not adjust the
amount transferred to include a Market Value Adjustment; or
4) withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a
withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to
include a Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay
premium taxes and withholding, if applicable. We will pay interest from
the day the Guarantee Period expired until the date of withdrawal. The
interest will be the rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being
offered. Amounts not withdrawn will be applied to a new Guarantee Period
of the same length as the previous Guarantee Period. The new
18 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period
ends.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT. All withdrawals and transfers from a Guarantee Period,
other than those taken during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period
expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment
also may apply upon payment of a death benefit and when you apply amounts
currently invested in a Guarantee Period to an Income Plan (unless paid or
applied during the 30-day period after such Guarantee Period expires). We also
will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make within the
Free Withdrawal Amount as described on page 20.
We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from
the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time you remove
it from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by
comparing the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its
inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when
you remove your money. "Treasury Rate" means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant
Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in
interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in
interest rates. If interest rates increase significantly, the Market Value
Adjustment and any withdrawal charge, premium taxes, and income tax withholding
(if applicable) could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal from a
Guaranteed Period to an amount that is less than the purchase payment applied to
that period plus interest earned under the Contract.
Generally, if the original Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a
Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable current Treasury Rate for a
period equal to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will
result in a higher amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income
Plan. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a
Guarantee Period is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate for a period equal
to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a lower
amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income Plan.
For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and you select an initial
Guarantee Period of 5 years and the 5 year Treasury Rate for that duration is
4.50%. Assume that at the end of 3 years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at
that later time, the current 5 year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market
Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the
amount payable to you. Conversely, if the current 5 year Treasury Rate is 4.80%,
then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a
decrease in the amount payable to you.
The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B
to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application
of the Market Value Adjustment.
INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: TRANSFERS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the
investment alternatives. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we
provide or by telephone according to the procedure described below. The minimum
amount that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $50. We currently do not
assess, but reserve the right to assess, a $10 charge on each transfer in excess
of 12 per Contract Year. We treat transfers to or from more than one Portfolio
on the same day as one transfer.
We will process transfer requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time
on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for that Date. We will
process requests completed after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date
using the Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract
permits us to defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months from
the date we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers for 30 days
or more, we will pay interest as required by applicable law. Any interest would
be payable from the date we receive the transfer request to the date we make the
transfer.
If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day
period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the
amount by a Market Value Adjustment.
We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.
19 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE
During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts
so as to change the relative weighting of the Variable Sub-Accounts on which
your variable income payments will be based. In addition, you will have a
limited ability to make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the
proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments. You may
not, however, convert any portion of your right to receive fixed income payments
into variable income payments.
If you choose an Income Plan that depends on any person's life, you may not make
any transfers for the first 6 months after the Payout Start Date. Thereafter,
you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers from
the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the proportion of your income payments
consisting of fixed income payments. Your transfers must be at least 6 months
apart.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-755-5275 if you first send
us a completed authorization form. The cut off time for telephone transfer
requests is 3:00 p.m. Central time. In the event that the New York Stock
Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in the event that
the Exchange closes early for a period of time but then reopens for trading on
the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of the close of the
Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone requests received
at any telephone number other than the number that appears in this paragraph or
received after the close of trading on the Exchange.
We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege at any time
without notice.
We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the
telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations
with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying
information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from
allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take
reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may
be liable for such losses.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically transfer a
fixed dollar amount every month during the Accumulation Phase from the Dollar
Cost Averaging Fixed Account, to any Variable Sub-Account. You may not use the
Dollar Cost Averaging Program to transfer amounts to the Guarantee Periods.
We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor
will such transfer count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract
Year without paying a transfer fee.
The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts
are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less
than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However,
participation in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your
purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in
a declining market. Call or write us for instructions on how to enroll.
AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM
Once you have allocated your money among the Variable Sub-Accounts, the
performance of each Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage you
allocated to each Sub- Account. If you select our Automatic Portfolio
Rebalancing Program, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each
Variable Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations. We
will not include money you allocate to the Fixed Account Options in the
Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
We will rebalance your account each quarter according to your instructions. We
will transfer amounts among the Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage
allocations you specify. You can change your allocations at any time by
contacting us in writing or by telephone. The new allocation will be effective
with the first rebalancing that occurs after we receive your request. We are not
responsible for rebalancing that occurs prior to receipt of your request.
Example:
Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among two Variable
Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the AIM V.I. Value Variable Sub-Account
and 60% to be in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account. Over the next 2
months the bond market does very well while the stock market performs
poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the AIM V.I. Value Variable Sub-
Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of its increase in
value. If you choose to have your holdings rebalanced quarterly, on the
first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your units in the AIM
V.I. Value Variable Sub-Account and use the money to buy more units in the
AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account so that the percentage allocations
would again be 40% and 60% respectively.
The Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program is available only during the
Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards
the 12
20 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee. Portfolio rebalancing is
consistent with maintaining your allocation of investments among market
segments, although it is accomplished by reducing your Contract Value allocated
to the better performing segments.
EXPENSES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
As a Contract owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and
expenses described below.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
During the Accumulation Phase, on each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a
$35 contract maintenance charge from your Contract Value invested in each
Variable Sub-Account in proportion to the amount invested. If you surrender your
Contract, we will deduct the contract maintenance charge pro rated for the part
of the Contract Year elapsed, unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver,
described below.
The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and
the Variable Account. Maintenance costs include expenses we incur collecting
purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals,
and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and
income payments; and issuing reports to Contract owners and regulatory agencies.
We cannot increase the charge. However, we will waive this charge if, as of the
Contract Anniversary or upon full surrender:
- - total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or
- - all money is allocated to the Fixed Account.
In addition, we will waive the contract maintenance charge if total purchase
payments are $50,000 or more as of the Payout Start Date.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.25%
of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts
(1.35% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider). The mortality and
expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your
Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for
certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that
the current charges will be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of
administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not
sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the
Enhanced Death Benefit Rider to compensate us for the additional risk that we
accept by providing these options.
We guarantee that we will not raise the mortality and expense risk charge. We
assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase
and the Payout Phase.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
We deduct an administrative expense charge daily at an annual rate of 0.10% of
the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We
intend this charge to cover actual administrative expenses that exceed the
revenues from the contract maintenance charge. There is no necessary
relationship between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given
Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributed to that Contract. We
assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.
We guarantee that we will not raise this charge.
TRANSFER FEE
We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment
alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the
12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will NOT charge a transfer fee on
transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Portfolio
Rebalancing Program.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
We may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the purchase payment(s) you
withdraw. The charge declines to 0% over a 6 year period that begins on the day
we receive your payment. A schedule showing how the charge declines is shown on
page 7. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the aggregate
amount of your purchase payments without paying the charge. Unused portions of
this "FREE WITHDRAWAL AMOUNT" are NOT carried forward to future Contract Years.
We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid.
For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as
coming from the oldest purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax
purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from
earnings, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal.
21 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:
- - on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you terminate
income payments to be received for a specified period);
- - on the death of the Contract owner (Annuitant if Contract owner is not a
natural person);
- - withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract;
or
- - withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers as described below.
We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions
and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the
Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales
commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of
our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the
mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above,
to make up any difference.
Withdrawals also may be subject to tax penalties, income tax and a Market Value
Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers
regarding any withdrawals.
CONFINEMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value
Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your
Contract if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. you or the Annuitant (if the Contract owner is not a natural person) are
confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive
days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at
least 30 days after the Issue Date;
2. you request the withdrawal and provide written proof of the stay no later
than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant's stay at the long term
care facility or hospital; and
3. a physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically
necessary (as defined in the Contract).
You may not claim this benefit if you, the Annuitant, or a member of your or the
Annuitant's immediate family, is the physician prescribing your or the
Annuitant's stay in a long term care facility.
TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market
Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under
your Contract if:
1. you or the Annuitant (if the Contract owner is not a natural person) are
first diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 30 days after the Issue Date;
and
2. you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.
Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and
conditions of these waivers.
The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also
change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should
consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you
do not need to pay our withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment because of
these waivers, you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the
amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax adviser to determine the effect of
a withdrawal on your taxes.
PREMIUM TAXES
Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge
premium taxes or similar taxes. We are responsible for paying these taxes and
will deduct them from your Contract Value. Some of these taxes are due when the
Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender.
Our current practice is not to charge anyone for these taxes until income
payments begin or when a total withdrawal occurs, including payment upon death.
At our discretion, we may discontinue this practice and deduct premium taxes
from the purchase payments. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 4%,
depending on the state.
At the Payout Start Date, if applicable, we deduct the charge for premium taxes
from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract owner's
value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.
DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES
We are not currently making a provision for taxes. In the future, however, we
may make a provision for taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion, that we
will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Variable Account. We will
deduct for any taxes we incur as a result of the operation of the Variable
Account, whether or not we previously made a provision for taxes and whether or
not it was sufficient. Our status under the Internal Revenue Code is briefly
described in the Statement of Additional Information.
22 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
OTHER EXPENSES
Each Portfolio deducts advisory fees and other expenses from its assets. You
indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held
by the Variable Sub-Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the
accompanying prospectuses for the Funds. For a summary of current estimates of
those charges and expenses, see page 8 above. We may receive compensation from
the investment advisers or administrators of the Portfolios in connection with
the administrative services we provide to the Portfolios.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the
Payout Start Date. The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value or a
portion therefore, next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal
at our headquarters, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less any
withdrawal charges, contract maintenance charges, income tax withholding,
penalty tax, and any premium taxes. We will pay withdrawals from the Variable
Account within 7 days of receipt of the request, subject to postponement in
certain circumstances.
You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options.
To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel
Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable
withdrawal charge and premium taxes.
You must name the investment alternative from which you are taking the
withdrawal. If none is named, then the withdrawal request is incomplete and
cannot be honored.
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. You also may withdraw a
lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in a Variable Sub-
Account.
If you request a total withdrawal, we may require you to return your Contract to
us.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under
the Contract if:
1. The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or
holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
2. An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or
3. The SEC permits delay for your protection.
In addition, we may delay payments or transfers from the Fixed Account Options
for up to 6 months (or shorter period if required by law). If we delay payment
for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start
Date. The minimum amount of each systematic withdrawal is $50. At our
discretion, systematic withdrawals may not be offered in conjunction with the
Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
Depending on fluctuations in the value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the
value of the Fixed Account Options, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even
exhaust the Contract Value. Income taxes may apply to systematic withdrawals.
Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.
We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. At
our discretion, we may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and
charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic
Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be
affected.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
If your request for a partial withdrawal will reduce your Contract Value to less
than $2,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract
Value. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value.
We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating
your Contract. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its
Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less
withdrawal and other charges and taxes.
23 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
INCOME PAYMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYOUT START DATE
You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The Payout Start Date is
the day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must
be:
- - at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and
- - no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract
Anniversary, if later.
You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of
the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a
change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.
INCOME PLANS
An Income Plan is a series of scheduled payments to you or someone you
designate. You may choose and change your choice of Income Plan until 30 days
before the Payout Start Date. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make
income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with guaranteed payments for 10
years.
Three Income Plans are available under the Contract. Each is available to
provide:
- - fixed income payments;
- - variable income payments; or
- - a combination of the two.
The three Income Plans are:
INCOME PLAN 1 -- LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under this plan, we make
periodic income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the
Annuitant dies before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we
will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required
by the Contract.
INCOME PLAN 2 -- JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under
this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as either the
Annuitant or the joint Annuitant is alive. If both the Annuitant and the joint
Annuitant die before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will
continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by
the Contract.
INCOME PLAN 3 -- GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD (5 YEARS TO 30
YEARS). Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you
have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant's life. You may elect
to receive guaranteed payments for periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. We will
deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account
assets that support variable income payments even though we may not bear any
mortality risk.
The length of any guaranteed payment period under your selected Income Plan
generally will affect the dollar amounts of each income payment. As a general
rule, longer guarantee periods result in lower income payments, all other things
being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend
on the life of the Annuitant but with no minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments
made under the same Income Plan with a minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments.
If you choose Income Plan 1 or 2, or, if available, another Income Plan with
payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant, we may
require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting
income payments, and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant are alive
before we make each payment. Please note that under such Income Plans, if you
elect to take no minimum guaranteed payments, it is possible that the payee
could receive only 1 income payment if the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant
both die before the second income payment, or only 2 income payments if they die
before the third income payment, and so on.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals after the Payout Start Date. One
exception to this rule applies if you are receiving variable income payments
that do not depend on the life of the Annuitant (such as under Income Plan 3).
In that case you may terminate all or part of the Variable Account portion of
the income payments at any time and receive a lump sum equal to the present
value of the remaining variable payments associated with the amount withdrawn.
The minimum amount you may withdraw under this feature is $1,000. A withdrawal
charge may apply.
We also deduct applicable premium taxes from the Contract Value at the Payout
Start Date.
We may make other Income Plans available.
You must apply at least the Contract Value in the Fixed Account on the Payout
Start Date to fixed income payments. If you wish to apply any portion of your
Fixed Account balance to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead
and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start
Date. If you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and
variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the
24 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
Variable Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the
Fixed Account to fixed income payments.
We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less
applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date. If the amount
available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000, or not enough to
provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:
- - pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment
and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments
you have chosen; or
- - reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least
$20.
VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment results
of the Variable Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and
sex of the Annuitant, and the Income Plan you choose. We guarantee that the
payments will not be affected by (a) actual mortality experience and (b) the
amount of our administration expenses.
We cannot predict the total amount of your variable income payments. Your
variable income payments may be more or less than your total purchase payments
because (a) variable income payments vary with the investment results of the
underlying Portfolios; and (b) the Annuitant could live longer or shorter than
we expect based on the tables we use.
In calculating the amount of the periodic payments in the annuity tables in the
Contract, we assumed an annual investment rate of 3%. If the actual net
investment return of the Variable Sub-Accounts you choose is less than this
assumed investment rate, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments
will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase,
however, if the actual net investment return exceeds the assumed investment
rate. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net
investment return equals the assumed investment rate. Please refer to the
Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we
determine variable income payments.
FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS
We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for
the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:
1. adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on
the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;
2. deducting any applicable premium tax; and
3. applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value
from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are
offering at that time.
We may defer making fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or any
shorter time state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we
will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal
request to the date we make payment.
CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that
provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in
states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment
tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by
applicable law. In certain employment related situations, employers are required
by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if
the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement
or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you
should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is
appropriate.
DEATH BENEFITS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We will pay a death benefit prior to the Payout Start Date on:
1. the death of any Contract owner or,
2. the death of the Annuitant, if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person.
We will pay the death benefit to the new Contract owner as determined
immediately after the death. The
25 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
new Contract owner would be a surviving Contract owner or, if none, the
Beneficiaries. In the case of the death of the Annuitant, we will pay the death
benefit to the current Contract owner.
A claim for a distribution on death must include DUE PROOF OF DEATH. We will
accept the following documentation as "Due Proof of Death":
- - a certified copy of a death certificate,
- - a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
funding of death, or
- - any other proof acceptable to us.
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT
Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
1. the Contract Value as of the date we determine the value of the death
benefit, or
2. the SETTLEMENT VALUE (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of
Contract Value) on the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or
3. the Contract Value on each DEATH BENEFIT ANNIVERSARY prior to the date we
determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that
Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial
withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary. A "Death Benefit Anniversary"
is every seventh Contract Anniversary beginning with the Issue Date. For
example, the Issue Date, 7th and 14th Contract Anniversaries are the first 3
Death Benefit Anniversaries.
The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result
multiplied by (c), where:
(a) is the withdrawal amount;
(b) is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal; and
(c) is the Contract value on the Death Benefit Anniversary adjusted by any
prior purchase payments or withdrawals made since that Anniversary.
We will determine the value of the death benefit as of the end of the Valuation
Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit. If
we receive a request after 3 p.m. Central Time on a Valuation Date, we will
process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER
For Contracts with the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the death benefit will be
the greatest of (1) through (3) above, or (4) the value of the Enhanced Death
Benefit Rider, which is the greatest of the ANNIVERSARY VALUES as of the date we
determine the death benefit. An "Anniversary Value" is equal to the Contract
Value on a Contract Anniversary, increased by purchase payments made since that
Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that
Anniversary. The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result
multiplied by (c) where:
(a) is the withdrawal amount,
(b) is the Contract Value immediately prior to the withdrawal, and
(c) is the Contract Value on that Contract Anniversary adjusted by any prior
purchase payments and withdrawals since that Contract Anniversary.
We will calculate Anniversary Values for each Contract Anniversary prior to the
oldest Contract owner's or the Annuitant's, if the Contract owner is not a
natural person, 80th birthday. The Enhanced Death Benefit Rider will never be
greater than the maximum death benefit allowed by any state non-forfeiture laws
that govern the Contract.
DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS
A death benefit will be paid:
1. if the Contract owner elects to receive the death benefit distributed in a
single payment within 180 days of the date of death, and
2. if the death benefit is paid as of the day the value of the death benefit is
determined. Otherwise, the Settlement Value will be paid. We are currently
waiving the 180 day limit, but we reserve the right to enforce the limitation in
the future.
In any event, the entire value of the Contract must be distributed within 5
years after the date of death unless an Income Plan is elected or a surviving
spouse continues the Contract in accordance with the provisions described below.
If the Contract owner eligible to receive the distribution upon death is not a
natural person, the Contract owner may elect to receive the distribution upon
death in one or more distributions.
If the Contract owner is a natural person, the Contract owner may elect to
receive the distribution upon death either in one or more distributions or by
periodic payments through an Income Plan. Payments from the Income Plan must
begin within one year of the date of death and must be payable throughout:
- - the life of the Contract owner; or
26 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
- - a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Contract owner; or
- - the life of the Contract owner with payments guaranteed to a period not to
exceed the life expectancy of the Contract owner.
If the surviving spouse of the deceased Contract owner is the new Contract
owner, then the spouse may elect one of the options listed above or may continue
the Contract in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. If the
Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the surviving spouse may make a
single withdrawal of any amount within one year of the date of death without
incurring a withdrawal charge. However, any applicable Market Value Adjustment,
determined as of the date of the withdrawal, will apply.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------
GLENBROOK
Glenbrook is the issuer of the Contract. Glenbrook is a stock life insurance
company organized under the laws of the State of Arizona in 1998. Previously,
Glenbrook was organized under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1992.
Glenbrook was originally organized under the laws of the State of Indiana in
1965. From 1965 to 1983 Glenbrook was known as "United Standard Life Assurance
Company" and from 1983 to 1992 as "William Penn Life Assurance Company of
America."
Glenbrook is currently licensed to operate in the District of Columbia and all
states except New York. We intend to offer the Contract in those jurisdictions
in which we are licensed. Our home office is located at 3100 Sanders Road,
Northbrook, Illinois, 60062.
Glenbrook is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company
("ALLSTATE LIFE"), a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Illinois. Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate
Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company incorporated
under the laws of Illinois. All of the outstanding capital stock of Allstate
Insurance Company is owned by The Allstate Corporation.
Glenbrook and Allstate Life entered into a reinsurance agreement effective
June 5, 1992. Under the reinsurance agreement, Allstate Life reinsures
substantially all of Glenbrook's liabilities under its various insurance
contracts. The reinsurance agreement provides us with financial backing from
Allstate Life. However, it does not create a direct contractual relationship
between Allstate Life and you. In other words, the obligations of Allstate Life
under the reinsurance agreement are to Glenbrook; Glenbrook remains the sole
obligor under the Contract to you.
Several independent rating agencies regularly evaluate life insurers'
claims-paying ability, quality of investments, and overall stability. A.M. Best
Company assigns A+(Superior) to Allstate Life which automatically reinsures all
net business of Glenbrook. A.M. Best Company also assigns Glenbrook the rating
of A+-Registered Trademark-because Glenbrook automatically reinsures all net
business with Allstate Life. Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services assigns
an AA+ (Very Strong) financial strength rating and Moody's assigns an Aa2
(Excellent) financial strength rating to Glenbrook. Glenbrook shares the same
ratings of its parent, Allstate Life. These ratings do not reflect the
investment performance of the Variable Account. We may from time to time
advertise these ratings in our sales literature.
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
Glenbrook established the Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account on
January 15, 1996. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit
investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable
Account or Glenbrook.
We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated
asset account under Arizona law. That means we account for the Variable
Account's income, gains and losses separately from the results of our other
operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are
in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the
Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations.
Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of
Glenbrook.
The Variable Account consists of multiple Variable Sub-Accounts, Each Variable
Sub-Account invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable
Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or
investment conditions so
27 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
warrant. We may also add other Variable Sub-Accounts that may be available under
other variable annuity contracts. We do not guarantee the investment performance
of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts or the Portfolios. We may use the
Variable Account to fund our other annuity contracts. We will account separately
for each type of annuity contract funded by the Variable Account.
THE PORTFOLIOS
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. We automatically reinvest all
dividends and capital gains distributions from the Portfolios in shares of the
distributing Portfolio at their net asset value.
VOTING PRIVILEGES. As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote
the shares of the Portfolios held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have
allocated your Contract Value. Under current law, however, you are entitled to
give us instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. Based on
our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the Portfolios that we
hold directly or indirectly through the Variable Account in accordance with
instructions that we receive from Contract owners entitled to give such
instructions.
As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract owner or anyone
with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The
number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by
dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by
the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record
date of the meeting. After the Payout Start Date the person receiving income
payments has the voting interest. The payee's number of votes will be determined
by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Variable
Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. The
votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract
decrease.
We will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which we have not received
instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we
vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we
may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to
abstain on any item to be voted upon on a pro-rata basis to reduce the votes
eligible to be cast.
We reserve the right to vote Portfolio shares as we see fit without regard to
voting instructions to the extent permitted by law. If we disregard voting
instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that
action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.
CHANGES IN PORTFOLIOS. If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer
available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further
investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the
Contract, we may eliminate that Portfolio and substitute shares of another
eligible investment fund. Any substitution of securities will comply with the
requirements of the Investment Company Act. We also may add new Variable
Sub-Accounts that invest in additional mutual funds. We will notify you in
advance of any change.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Certain of the Portfolios sell their shares to separate
accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life
insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in
the same Portfolio. The boards of directors of these Portfolios monitor for
possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Portfolios.
Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in
treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to
comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, a
Portfolio's board of directors may require a separate account to withdraw its
participation in a Portfolio. A Portfolio's net asset value could decrease if it
had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate
account withdrawing because of a conflict.
THE CONTRACT
DISTRIBUTION. ALFS, Inc.*, located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL
60062-7154, serves as principal underwriter and distributor of the Contracts.
ALFS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company. ALFS is a
registered broker dealer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended ("EXCHANGE ACT"), and is a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
We will pay commissions to broker-dealers who sell the contracts. Commissions
paid may vary, but we estimate that the total commissions paid on all Contract
sales will not exceed 8% of all purchase payments. These commissions are
intended to cover distribution expenses. Sometimes, we also pay the
broker-dealer a persistency bonus in addition to the standard commissions. A
persistency bonus is not expected to exceed
*Effective May 1, 2000, Allstate Life Financial Services, Inc. was renamed
ALFS, Inc.
28 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
0.25%, on an annual basis, of the Contract Values considered in connection with
the bonus. In some states, Contracts may be sold by representatives or employees
of banks which may be acting as broker-dealers without separate registration
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, pursuant to legal and regulatory
exceptions.
Glenbrook does not pay ALFS a commission for distribution of the Contracts. The
underwriting agreement with ALFS provides that we will reimburse ALFS for any
liability to Contract owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts
issued.
ADMINISTRATION. We have primary responsibility for all administration of the
Contracts and the Variable Account. We provide the following administrative
services, among others:
- - issuance of the Contracts;
- - maintenance of Contract owner records;
- - Contract owner services;
- - calculation of unit values;
- - maintenance of the Variable Account; and
- - preparation of Contract owner reports.
We will send you Contract statements and transaction confirmations at least
annually. You should notify us promptly in writing of any address change. You
should read your statements and confirmations carefully and verify their
accuracy. You should contact us promptly if you have a question about a periodic
statement. We will investigate all complaints and make any necessary adjustments
retroactively, but you must notify us of a potential error within a reasonable
time after the date of the questioned statement. If you wait too long, we
reserve the right to make the adjustment as of the date that we receive notice
of the potential error.
We also will provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information
and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.
QUALIFIED PLANS
If you use the Contract with a qualified plan, the plan may impose different or
additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waivers of withdrawal
charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract
features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if qualified plan
limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your
qualified plan administrator for more information.
LEGAL MATTERS
Freedman, Levy, Kroll & Simonds, Washington, D.C., has advised Glenbrook on
certain federal securities law matters. All matters of state insurance law
pertaining to the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and
Glenbrook's right to issue such Contracts under state insurance law, have been
passed upon by Michael J. Velotta, General Counsel of Glenbrook.
YEAR 2000
Glenbrook is heavily dependent upon complex computer systems for all phases of
its operations, including customer service, and policy and contract
administration. Since many of Glenbrook's older computer software programs
recognize only the last two digits of the year in any date, some software may
have failed to operate properly in or after the year 1999, if the software was
not reprogrammed or replaced ("YEAR 2000 ISSUE"). Glenbrook believes that many
of its counterparties and suppliers also had potential Year 2000 Issues which
could affect Glenbrook. In 1995, Allstate Insurance Company commenced a four
phase plan intended to mitigate and/or prevent the adverse effects of Year 2000
Issues. These strategies included normal development and enhancement of new and
existing systems, upgrades to operating systems already covered by maintenance
agreements and modifications to existing systems to make them Year 2000
compliant. The plan also included Glenbrook actively working with its major
external counterparties and suppliers to assess their compliance efforts and
Glenbrook's exposure to them. Because of the accuracy of this plan, and its
timely completion, Glenbrook has experienced no material impacts on its results
of operations, liquidity or financial position due to the Year 2000 issue. Year
2000 costs are expensed as incurred.

TAXES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. GLENBROOK
MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION
INVOLVING A CONTRACT.
Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of
distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances.
If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard to your individual
circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
TAX DEFERRAL. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value
until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:
1. the Contract owner is a natural person,
2. the investments of the Variable Account are "adequately diversified"
according to Treasury Department regulations, and
3. Glenbrook is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal
income tax purposes.
NON-NATURAL OWNERS. As a general rule, annuity contracts owned by non-natural
persons such as corporations, trusts, or other entities are not treated as
annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. The income on such contracts
is taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the owner during the taxable
year. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of
several exceptions to the general rule for Contracts owned by non-natural
persons.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for
federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Variable Account must be
"adequately diversified" consistent with standards under Treasury Department
regulations. If the investments in the Variable Account are not adequately
diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal
income tax purposes. As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as
ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable
year. Although Glenbrook does not have control over the Portfolios or their
investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.
OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. The IRS has stated that you will be considered the owner of
Variable Account assets if you possess incidents of ownership in those assets,
such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time
the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced
that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which
investor control of separate account investments may cause an investor to be
treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also
stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners
could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the
underlying assets of the separate account.
Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in
rulings in which it found that contract owners were not owners of separate
account assets. For example, you have the choice to allocate premiums and
Contract Values among more investment alternatives. Also, you may be able to
transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings.
These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable
Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Variable Account assets would
be includible in your gross income. Glenbrook does not know what standards will
be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may
issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department
could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right
to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being
considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However,
we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.
TAXATION OF PARTIAL AND FULL WITHDRAWALS. If you make a partial withdrawal under
a non-Qualified Contract, amounts received are taxable to the extent the
Contract Value, without regard to surrender charges, exceeds the investment in
the Contract. The investment in the Contract is the gross premium paid for the
Contract minus any amounts previously received from the Contract if such amounts
were properly excluded from your gross income. If you make a partial withdrawal
under a Qualified Contract, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio
to the total payment that the investment in the Contract (i.e., nondeductible
IRA contributions, after tax contributions to qualified plans) bears to the
Contract Value, is excluded from your income. If you make a full withdrawal
under a non-Qualified Contract or a Qualified Contract, the amount received will
be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the investment in the Contract.
"Non-qualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are treated as made from
contributions first and are included in gross income only to the extent that
distributions exceed contributions. "Qualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are
not included in gross income. "Qualified distributions" are any distributions
made more than 5 taxable years after the taxable year
30 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
of the first contribution to any Roth IRA and which are:
- - made on or after the date the individual attains age 59 1/2,
- - made to a beneficiary after the Contract owner's death,
- - attributable to the Contract owner being disabled, or
- - for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a
lifetime limit of $10,000).
If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration
to a person other than your spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a
divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the
investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Except for certain Qualified
Contracts, any amount you receive as a loan under a Contract, and any assignment
or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is treated as
a withdrawal of such amount or portion.
TAXATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS. Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity
payments received from a non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your
investment in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period.
The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the
amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the
ratio of the investment in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or
period certain) to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of
the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from
taxable income is determined by dividing the investment in the Contract by the
total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable
after the total amount of the investment in the Contract is excluded using these
ratios. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the
investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount will be allowed
as a deduction for your last taxable year.
TAXATION OF ANNUITY DEATH BENEFITS. Death of a Contract owner, or death of the
Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person, will cause a
distribution of death benefits from a Contract. Generally, such amounts are
included in income as follows:
1. if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a
full withdrawal; or
2. if distributed under an annuity option, the amounts are taxed in the same
manner as an annuity payment. Please see the Statement of Additional Information
for more detail on distribution at death requirements.
PENALTY TAX ON PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable
amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract. The penalty
tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age
59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
1. made on or after the date the Contract owner attains age 59 1/2;
2. made as a result of the Contract owner's death or disability;
3. made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract owner's life
or life expectancy;
4. made under an immediate annuity; or
5. attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.
You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine if any other exceptions
to the penalty apply to your situation. Similar exceptions may apply to
distributions from Qualified Contracts.
AGGREGATION OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS. All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts
issued by Glenbrook (or its affiliates) to the same Contract owner during any
calendar year will be aggregated and treated as one annuity contract for
purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.
TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Contracts may be used as investments with certain qualified plans such as:
- - Individual Retirement Annuities or Accounts (IRAs) under Section 408 of the
Code;
- - Roth IRAs under Section 408A of the Code;
- - Simplified Employee Pension Plans under Section 408(k) of the Code;
- - Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE) Plans under Section
408(p) of the Code;
- - Tax Sheltered Annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code;
- - Corporate and Self Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans; and
- - State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation
Plans.
The income on qualified plan and IRA investments is tax deferred and variable
annuities held by such plans do not receive any additional tax deferral. You
should
31 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
review the annuity features, including all benefits and expenses, prior to
purchasing a variable annuity in a qualified plan or IRA. Glenbrook reserves the
right to limit the availability of the Contract for use with any of the
Qualified Plans listed below.
In the case of certain qualified plans, the terms of the plans may govern the
right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
RESTRICTIONS UNDER SECTION 403(b) PLANS. Section 403(b) of the Tax Code provides
tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and
educational organizations. Under Section 403(b), any Contract used for a 403(b)
plan must provide that distributions attributable to salary reduction
contributions made after 12/31/88, and all earnings on salary reduction
contributions, may be made only:
1. on or after the date the employee
- attains age 59 1/2,
- separates from service,
- dies,
- becomes disabled, or
2. on account of hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be
distributed on the account of hardship).
These limitations do not apply to withdrawals where Glenbrook is directed to
transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Glenbrook is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 20% on all
"eligible rollover distributions" unless you elect to make a "direct rollover"
of such amounts to an IRA or eligible retirement plan. Eligible rollover
distributions generally include all distributions from Qualified Contracts,
excluding IRAs, with the exception of:
1. required minimum distributions, or
2. a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at
least 10 years, or, over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and
beneficiary).
Glenbrook may be required to withhold federal and state income taxes on any
distributions from non-Qualified Contracts or Qualified Contracts that are not
eligible rollover distributions, unless you notify us of your election to not
have taxes withheld.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We may advertise the performance of the Variable Sub-Accounts, including yield
and total return information. Total return represents the change, over a
specified period of time, in the value of an investment in a Variable
Sub-Account after reinvesting all income distributions. Yield refers to the
income generated by an investment in a Variable Sub-Account over a specified
period.
All performance advertisements will include, as applicable, standardized yield
and total return figures that reflect the deduction of insurance charges, the
contract maintenance charge, and withdrawal charge. Performance advertisements
also may include total return figures that reflect the deduction of insurance
charges, but not the contract maintenance or withdrawal charges. The deduction
of such charges would reduce the performance shown. In addition, performance
advertisements may include aggregate average, year-by-year, or other types of
total return figures.
Performance information for periods prior to the inception date of the Variable
Sub-Accounts will be based on the historical performance of the corresponding
Portfolios for the periods beginning with the inception dates of the Portfolios
and adjusted to reflect current Contract expenses. You should not interpret
these figures to reflect actual historical performance of the Variable Account.
We may include in advertising and sales materials tax deferred compounding
charts and other hypothetical illustrations that compare currently taxable and
tax deferred investment programs based on selected tax brackets. Our
advertisements also may compare the performance of our Variable Sub-Accounts
with: (a) certain unmanaged market indices, including but not limited to the Dow
Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500, and the Shearson Lehman
Bond Index; and/or (b) other management investment companies with investment
objectives similar to the underlying funds being compared. In addition, our
advertisements may include the performance ranking assigned by various
publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Money,
Barron's, Business Week, USA Today, and statistical services, including Lipper
Analytical Services Mutual Fund Survey, Lipper Annuity and Closed End Survey,
the Variable Annuity Research Data Survey, and SEI.

APPENDIX B
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT EXAMPLE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:
<TABLE>
<C> <C> <S>
I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee
Period for the week preceding the establishment of the
Guarantee Period.
J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee
Period for the week preceding the receipt of the withdrawal,
transfer, death benefit, or income payment request. If a
Note with a maturity of the original Guarantee Period is not
available, a weighted average will be used.
N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we
receive the withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request,
or from the Payout Start Date to the end of the Guarantee
Period.
</TABLE>
Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported
in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:
.9 X (I - J) X N
To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value
Adjustment factor by the amount transferred, withdrawn (in excess of the Free
Withdrawal Amount), paid as a death benefit, or applied to an Income Plan, out
of a Guarantee Period at any time other than during the 30 day period after such
Guarantee Period expires.
EXAMPLES OF MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT

Step 5: Calculate the amount received by Contract

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Contract basically works in two ways.
First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the CONTRACT OWNER) save for
retirement because you can invest in up to 41 investment alternatives and pay no
federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during
what we call the "ACCUMULATION PHASE" of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase
begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the "ISSUE DATE")
and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money
to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your
purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/or Fixed
Account Options. If you invest in any of the three Fixed Account Options, you
will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest
in any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down
depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.
Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to
receive retirement income for life and/or for a pre-set number of years, by
selecting one of the income payment options (we call these "INCOME PLANS")
described on page 25. You receive income payments during what we call the
"PAYOUT PHASE" of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and
continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select.
During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we
guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a
variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable
Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the
performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate
under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan
will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.
The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.

As the Contract owner, you exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by
the Contract. If you die, any surviving Contract owner or, if none, the
BENEFICIARY will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the Contract.
SEE "The Contract." In addition, if you die before the Payout Start Date, we
will pay a death benefit to any surviving Contract owner, or if there is none,
to your Beneficiary. SEE "Death Benefits."

The Portfolio's Advisors may discontinue all or part of these voluntary
reductions and reimbursements at any time.
(2) Initial Class. "Total Annual Portfolio Expenses" reflect offset and other
arrangements that reduce expenses.
(3) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
reduce fund expenses. In addition, through arrangements with certain funds',
or FMR on behalf of certain funds', custodian, credits realized as a result
of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce a portion of each applicable
fund's expenses. Without these reductions, the "Total Portfolio Annual
Expenses" presented in the table would have been 0.65% for
Contrafund-Registered Trademark- Portfolio, 0.56% for Equity-Income
Portfolio, and 0.65% for Growth Portfolio.
(4) The Funds' expenses are based on estimated expenses for the fiscal year
December 31, 2000.
(5) Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Goldman Sachs Asset Management
International, the investment advisors, have voluntarily agreed to reduce or
limit certain other expenses (excluding management fees, taxes, interest,
brokerage fees, litigation, indemnification, and other extraordinary
expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed the percentage stated in the
calculated per annum (above table) as of each fund's respective average
daily net assets. Without the limitations described above, "Other Expenses"
and "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" would be estimated as follows:

The Portfolio Advisor may discontinue all or part of these voluntary reductions
at any time.
(6) Each series has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the series'
custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the series with
its custodian and dividend disbursing agent. Each series may enter into
other such arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements, which would
also have the effect of reducing the series' expenses. "Other Expenses" do
not take into account these expense reductions, and are therefore higher
than the actual expenses of the series. Had these fee reductions been taken
into account, "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" would be lower for certain
series and would equal: 0.83% for Emerging Growth Series, 0.87% for Growth
with Income Series, and 1.05% for New Discovery Series.
(7) MFS has contractually agreed, subject to reimbursement, to bear expenses for
these series such that each such series' "Other Expenses" (after taking into
account the expense offset arrangement described above), do not exceed the
following percentages of the average daily net assets of the series during
the current fiscal year: 0.15% for New Discovery Series. These contractual
fee arrangements will continue until at least May 1, 2001, unless changed
with the consent of the board of trustees which oversees the series.
(8) The expense reimbursement agreements with respect to the Mid-Cap Growth
Portfolio provide for Neuberger Berman Management, Inc. ("NBMI") to recoup
through December 31, 2004 amounts reimbursed by NBMI under the agreements,
provided such recoupment would not cause the Portfolio to exceed its
respective expense limitation.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the
Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the "ACCUMULATION UNIT."
Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we
call "ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE". Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not
the same as, the share price of a mutual fund.
Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation
Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date the contracts were first
offered. To obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account's finances,
please refer to the Variable Account's financial statement contained in the
Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of Glenbrook also
appear in the Statement of Additional Information.
12 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
THE CONTRACT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT OWNER
The Glenbrook Provider Variable Annuity is a contract between you, the Contract
owner, and Glenbrook, a life insurance company. As the Contract owner, you may
exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract. That
means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):
- - the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases,
- - the amount and timing of your purchase payments and withdrawals,
- - the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money,
- - the income payment plan you want to use to receive retirement income,
- - the Annuitant (either yourself or someone else) on whose life the income
payments will be based,
- - the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the
Contract provides when the last surviving contract owner dies, and
- - any other rights that the Contract provides.
If you die, any surviving Contract owner, or, if none, the Beneficiary may
exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract.
The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-natural person and a natural
person.
You can use the Contract with or without a qualified plan. A qualified plan is a
personal retirement savings plan, such as an IRA or tax-sheltered annuity, that
meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualified plans may limit
or modify your rights and privileges under the Contract. We use the term
"Qualified Contract" to refer to a Contract issued within a qualified plan. See
"Qualified Plans" on page 33.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the individual whose life determines the amount and duration of
income payments (other than under Income Plans with guaranteed payments for a
specified period). You initially designate an Annuitant in your application. You
may change the Annuitant at any time prior to the Payout Start Date (only if the
Contract owner is a natural person). You may designate a joint Annuitant, who is
a second person on whose life income payments depend. We permit joint Annuitants
only on or after the Payout Start Date. If the Annuitant dies prior to the
Payout Start Date, the new Annuitant will be:
(i) the youngest Contract owner; otherwise,
(ii) the youngest Beneficiary.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is the person who may elect to receive the death benefit or
become the new Contract owner if the sole surviving Contract owner dies before
the Payout Start Date. If the sole surviving Contract owner dies after the
Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments
scheduled to continue.
You may name one or more Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. You may
change or add Beneficiaries at any time, unless you have designated an
irrevocable Beneficiary. We will provide a change of Beneficiary form to be
signed and filed with us. Any change will be effective at the time you sign the
written notice. Until we receive your written notice to change a Beneficiary, we
are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information in our files. We
will not be liable as to any payment or settlement made prior to receiving the
written notice. Accordingly, if you wish to change your Beneficiary, you should
deliver your written notice to us promptly.
If you did not name a Beneficiary or, unless otherwise provided in the
Beneficiary designation, if a named Beneficiary is no longer living and there
are no other surviving Beneficiaries, the new Beneficiary will be:
- - your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive,
- - your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children,
- - your estate.
If more than one Beneficiary survives you (or survives the Annuitant, if the
Contract owner is not a natural person) we will divide the death benefit among
your Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you
have not given us written instructions, we will pay the death benefit in equal
amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Only a Glenbrook officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the
Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. None of our agents has the
authority to change or waive the provisions of the Contract. We may not change
the terms of the Contract without your consent, except to conform the Contract
to applicable law or changes in the law. If a provision of the Contract is
inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.
ASSIGNMENT
We will not honor an assignment of an interest in a Contract as collateral or
security for a loan. However, you may assign periodic income payments under the
Contract prior to the Payout Start Date. No Beneficiary may assign benefits
under the Contract until they are payable to the Beneficiary. We will not be
bound by any assignment until the assignor signs
13 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
it and files it with us. We are not responsible for the validity of any
assignment. Federal law prohibits or restricts the assignment of benefits under
many types of retirement plans and the terms of such plans may themselves
contain restrictions on assignments. An assignment may also result in taxes or
tax penalties. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE TRYING TO ASSIGN YOUR
CONTRACT.
PURCHASES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Your initial purchase payment must be at least $3,000 ($2,000 for a Qualified
Contract). All subsequent purchase payments must be $50 or more. You may make
purchase payments at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. We reserve the
right to limit the maximum amount of purchase payments we will accept.
AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM
You may make subsequent purchase payments by automatically transferring money
from your bank account. Consult your representative for more detailed
information.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
At the time you apply for a Contract, you must decide how to allocate your
purchase payments among the investment alternatives. The allocation you specify
on your application will be effective immediately. All allocations must be in
whole percents that total 100% or in whole dollars. You can change your
allocations by notifying us in writing.
We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment alternatives according
to your most recent instructions on file with us. Unless you notify us in
writing otherwise, we will allocate subsequent purchase payments according to
the allocation for the previous purchase payment. We will effect any change in
allocation instructions at the time we receive written notice of the change in
good order.
We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed
application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment
at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to
complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit
your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that 5 business day
period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the 5
business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete
the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at
the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our
home office.
We are open for business each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as "VALUATION DATES."
Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m.
Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after
3 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment
using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may cancel the Contract by returning it to us within the Cancellation
Period, which is the 20 day period after you receive the Contract, or a longer
period should your state require it. You may return it by delivering it or
mailing it to us. If you exercise this "RIGHT TO CANCEL," the Contract
terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your purchase payments
allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your purchase payments
allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law
permits, to reflect investment gain or loss that occurred from the date of
allocation through the date of cancellation. Some states may require us to
return a greater amount to you.
In states where we are required to refund purchase payments, we reserve the
right during the Cancellation Period to invest any purchase payments you
allocated to a Variable Sub-Account to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account
available under the Contract. We will notify you if we do so. At the end of the
Cancellation Period, you may then allocate your money to other Variable
Sub-Accounts.

CONTRACT VALUE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the
sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you
have selected, plus the value of your investment in the Fixed Account Options.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to
credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment or
transfer you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation
Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your
payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment
allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the
Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable
Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable
Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that
Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account
will rise or fall to reflect:
- - changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account
invests, and
- - the deduction of amounts reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge,
administrative expense charge, and any provision for taxes that have accrued
since we last calculated the Accumulation Unit Value.
We determine contract maintenance charges, withdrawal charges, and transfer fees
(currently waived) separately for each Contract. They do not affect Accumulation
Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming
Accumulation Units. For details on how we calculate Accumulation Unit Value,
please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account on
each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit
Values reflecting the cost of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced
Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider described on pages 27-28.
YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THE FUNDS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS
PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE ASSETS OF EACH PORTFOLIO ARE VALUED,
SINCE THAT DETERMINATION DIRECTLY BEARS ON THE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE OF THE
CORRESPONDING VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNT AND, THEREFORE, YOUR CONTRACT VALUE.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate your purchase payments to up to 38 Variable Sub-Accounts. Each
Variable Sub-Account invests in the shares of a corresponding Portfolio. Each
Portfolio has its own investment objective(s) and policies. We briefly describe
the Portfolios below.
For more complete information about each Portfolio, including expenses and risks
associated with the Portfolio, please refer to the accompanying prospectuses for
the Funds. You should carefully review the Fund prospectuses before allocating
amounts to the Variable Sub-Accounts.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate all or a portion of your purchase payments to the Fixed
Account. You may choose from among 3 Fixed Account Options including 2 dollar
cost averaging options and the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods
included in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Options may
not be available in all states. Please consult with your representative for
current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity
obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those
in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of
the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to a Fixed
Account Option does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the
Fixed Account.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. Purchase payments that you allocate
to the DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION ("DCA FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION")
will earn interest for a one year period at the current rate in effect at the
time of allocation. We will credit interest daily at a rate that will compound
over the year to the annual interest rate we guaranteed at the time of
allocation. After the one year period, we will declare a renewal rate which we
guarantee for a full year. Subsequent renewal dates will be every twelve months
for each payment or transfer.
We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the DCA
Fixed Account Option. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more than 36
monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment and all
its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 36
months of payment. At the end of 36 months, we will transfer the remaining
payment and associated earnings to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account. No
transfers are permitted into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account.
SHORT TERM DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. You may establish a Short
Term Dollar Cost Averaging Program by allocating purchase payments to THE SHORT
TERM DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION ("SHORT TERM DCA FIXED ACCOUNT
OPTION"). We will credit interest to purchase payments you allocate to this
Option for up to one year at the current rate in effect at the time of
allocation.
We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the Short
Term DCA Fixed Account Option. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more
than 12 monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment
and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within
12 months. If you discontinue the Dollar Cost Averaging Program before the end
of the transfer period, we will transfer the remaining balance in this Option to
the Money Market Variable Sub-Account unless you request a different investment
alternative. No transfers are permitted into the Short Term Dollar Cost
Averaging Fixed Account.
We bear the investment risk for all amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Account
Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. That is because we guarantee
the current and renewal interest rates we credit to the amounts you allocate to
either of these Options, which will never be less than the minimum guaranteed
rate in the Contract. Currently, we determine, in our sole discretion, the
amount of interest credited in excess of the guaranteed rate.
We may declare more than one interest rate for different monies based upon the
date of allocation to the DCA Fixed Account Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed
Account Option. For current interest rate information, please contact your
representative or our customer support unit at 1-800-755-5275.
GUARANTEE PERIODS
Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a
specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may
range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3,
5, 7, and 10 years in length. In the future we may offer Guarantee Periods of
different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.
You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not
select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for
your most recent purchase payment(s).
Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50.
We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that
you may allocate to this Option.
INTEREST RATES. We will tell you what interest rates and Guarantee Periods we
are offering at a particular time. We will not change the interest rate that we
credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee
Period. We may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the
same length that begin at different times.
We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest that we will
declare initially or in the future. We will set those interest rates based on
investment returns available at the time of the determination. In addition, we
may consider various other factors in determining interest rates including
regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative
expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. WE DETERMINE THE
INTEREST RATES TO BE DECLARED IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. WE CAN NEITHER
18 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
PREDICT NOR GUARANTEE WHAT THOSE RATES WILL BE IN THE FUTURE. For current
interest rate information, please contact your representative or Glenbrook at
1-800-755-5275.
HOW WE CREDIT INTEREST. We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated
to a Guarantee Period at a rate that compounds to the annual interest rate that
we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period. The following
example illustrates how a purchase payment allocated to a Guaranteed Period
would grow, given an assumed Guarantee Period and annual interest rate:

Total Interest Credited During Guarantee Period = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82 - $10,000)
</TABLE>
This example assumes no withdrawals during the entire 5 year Guarantee Period.
If you were to make a withdrawal, you may be required to pay a withdrawal
charge. In addition, the amount withdrawn may be increased or decreased by a
Market Value Adjustment that reflects changes in interest rates since the time
you invested the amount withdrawn. The hypothetical interest rate is for
illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict future interest rates
to be declared under the Contract. Actual interest rates declared for any given
Guarantee Period may be more or less than shown above.
RENEWALS. Prior to the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice
asking you what to do with your money, including the accrued interest. During
the 30-day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may:
1. Take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new Guarantee
Period of the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee
Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new
interest rate will be our then current declared rate for a Guarantee Period of
that length; or
2. Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your
choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee
Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for
those Guarantee Periods; or
3. Instruct us to transfer all or a portion of your money to one or more
Variable Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. We will effect the transfer on
the day we receive your instructions. We will not adjust the amount transferred
to include a Market Value Adjustment; or
4. Withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a
withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a
Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and
income tax withholding, if applicable. We will pay interest from the day the
Guarantee Period expired until the date of withdrawal. The interest will be the
rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being offered. Amounts not withdrawn
will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous
Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous
Guarantee Period ends.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT. All withdrawals and transfers from a Guarantee Period,
other than those taken during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period
expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment
also may apply upon payment of a death benefit and when you apply amounts
currently invested in a
19 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
Guarantee Period to an Income Plan (unless paid or applied during the 30-day
period after such Guarantee Period expires). We also will not apply a Market
Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make:
- - within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described on page 22,
- - that qualify for one of the waivers as described on page 23,
- - to satisfy the IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract, or
- - a single withdrawal made by a surviving spouse made within one year after
continuing the Contract.
We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from
the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time you remove
it from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by
comparing the TREASURY RATE for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its
inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when
you remove your money. "Treasury Rate" means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant
Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in
interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in
interest rates. If interest rates increase significantly, the Market Value
Adjustment and any withdrawal charge, premium taxes, and income tax withholding
(if applicable) could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal from a
Guaranteed Period to an amount that is less than the purchase payment applied to
that period plus interest earned under the Contract.
Generally, if the original Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a
Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable current Treasury Rate for a
period equal to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will
result in a higher amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income
Plan. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a
Guarantee Period is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate for a period equal
to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a lower
amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income Plan.
For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and you select an initial
Guarantee Period of 5 years and the 5 year Treasury Rate for that duration is
4.50%. Assume that at the end of 3 years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at
that later time, the current 5 year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market
Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the
amount payable to you. Conversely, if the current 5 year Treasury Rate is 4.80%,
then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a
decrease in the amount payable to you.
The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B
to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application
of the Market Value Adjustment.
INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: TRANSFERS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the
investment alternatives. You may not transfer Contract Value to either the
Short-Term Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account or the Dollar Cost Averaging
Fixed Account Options. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we
provided or by telephone according to the procedure described below. The minimum
amount that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $50. We currently do not
assess, but reserve the right to assess, a $10 charge on each transfer in excess
of 12 per Contract Year. All transfers to or from more than one Portfolio on any
given day counts as one transfer.
We will process transfer requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time
on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for that Date. We will
process requests completed after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date
using the Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract
permits us to defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months from
the date we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers for 30 days
or more, we will pay interest as required by applicable law. Any interest would
be payable from the date we receive the transfer request to the date we make the
transfer.
If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day
period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the
amount by a Market Value Adjustment.
We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.
20 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE
During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts
so as to change the relative weighting of the Variable Sub-Accounts on which
your variable income payments will be based. In addition, you will have a
limited ability to make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the
proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments. You may
not, however, convert any portion of your right to receive fixed income payments
into variable income payments.
If you choose an Income Plan that depends on any person's life, you may not make
any transfers for the first 6 months after the Payout Start Date. Thereafter,
you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers from
the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the proportion of your income payments
consisting of fixed income payments. Your transfers must be at least 6 months
apart.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-755-5275. The cut off time
for telephone transfer requests is 3:00 p.m. Central time. In the event that the
New York Stock Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in
the event that the Exchange closes early for a period of time but then reopens
for trading on the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of
the close of the Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone
requests received at any telephone number other than the number that appears in
this paragraph or received after the close of trading on the Exchange.
We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege at any time
without notice.
We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the
telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations
with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying
information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from
allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take
reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may
be liable for such losses.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically transfer a
fixed dollar amount every month during the Accumulation Phase from the Short
Term Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account or the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed
Account, to any Variable Sub-Account. You may not use the Dollar Cost Averaging
Program to transfer amounts to the Guarantee Periods.
We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor
will such transfer count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract
Year without paying a transfer fee.
The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts
are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less
than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However,
participation in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your
purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in
a declining market. Call or write us for instructions on how to enroll.
AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM
Once you have allocated your money among the Variable Sub-Accounts, the
performance of each Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage you
allocated to each Sub-Account. If you select our Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing
Program, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each Variable
Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations. We will not
include money you allocate to the Fixed Account Options in the Automatic
Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
We will rebalance your account each quarter according to your instructions. We
will transfer amounts among the Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage
allocations you specify. You can change your allocations at any time by
contacting us in writing or by telephone. The new allocation will be effective
with the first rebalancing that occurs after we receive your request. We are not
responsible for rebalancing that occurs prior to receipt of your request.
Example:
Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among 2 Variable
Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable
Sub-Account and 60% to be in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account. Over
the next 2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market
performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Fidelity VIP High
Income Variable Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of
its increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings rebalanced
quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your
units in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable Sub-Account and use the money
to buy more units in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account so that the
percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60% respectively.
The Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program is available only during the
Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards
the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject
to a transfer fee. Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your
allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by
reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.
21 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
EXPENSES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
As a Contract owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and
expenses described below.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
During the Accumulation Phase, on each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a
$35 contract maintenance charge from your Contract Value invested in each
Variable Sub-Account in proportion to the amount invested. If you surrender your
Contract, we will deduct the contract maintenance charge pro rated for the part
of the Contract Year elapsed, unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver,
described below.
The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and
the Variable Account. Maintenance costs include expenses we incur collecting
purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals,
and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and
income payments; and issuing reports to Contract owners and regulatory agencies.
We cannot increase the charge. However, we will waive this charge if, as of the
Contract Anniversary or upon full surrender:
- - total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or
- - all money is allocated to the Fixed Account.
In addition, we will waive the Contract Maintenance Charge if total purchase
payments are $50,000 or more as of the Payout Start Date.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.05%
of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts
(1.27% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, and 1.49% if you select
the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider). The mortality and
expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your
Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for
certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that
the current charges will be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of
administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not
sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the
Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit
Combination Rider to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by
providing these options.
We guarantee that we will not raise the mortality and expense risk charge. We
assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase
and the Payout Phase.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
We deduct an administrative expense charge daily at an annual rate of 0.10% of
the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We
intend this charge to cover actual administrative expenses that exceed the
revenues from the contract maintenance charge. There is no necessary
relationship between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given
Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributed to that Contract. We
assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.
We guarantee that we will not raise this charge.
TRANSFER FEE
We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment
alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the
12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will not charge a transfer fee on
transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Portfolio
Rebalancing Program.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
We may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the purchase payment(s) you
withdraw. The charge declines to 0% over a 6 year period that begins on the day
we receive your payment. A schedule showing how the charge declines is shown on
page 7. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the aggregate
amount of your purchase payments without paying the charge. Unused portions of
this "Free Withdrawal Amount" are not carried forward to future Contract Years.
We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid.
For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as
coming from the oldest purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax
purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from
earnings, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal.
We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:
- - on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you terminate
income payments to be received for a specified period;
- - withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract;
or
- - withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers as described below.
22 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions
and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the
Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales
commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of
our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the
mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above,
to make up any difference.
Withdrawals also may be subject to tax penalties or income tax and a Market
Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers
regarding any withdrawals.
CONFINEMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value
Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your
Contract if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. You or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, are
confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive
days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at
least 30 days after the Issue Date;
2. You request the withdrawal and provide written proof of the stay no later
than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant's stay at the long term
care facility or hospital; and
3. A physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically
necessary (as defined in the Contract).
You may not claim this benefit if you, the Annuitant, or a member of your or the
Annuitant's immediate family, is the physician prescribing your or the
Annuitant's stay in a long term care facility.
TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market
Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under
your Contract if:
1. you or the Annuitant (if the Contract owner is not a natural person) are
first diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 30 days after the Issue Date;
and
2. you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.
UNEMPLOYMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value
Adjustment on one partial or a full withdrawal taken prior to the Payout Start
Date under your Contract, if you meet the following requirements:
1. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, become
unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date;
2. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, receive
unemployment compensation as defined in the Contract for at least 30 days as a
result of that unemployment; and
3. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, claim
this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant's initial receipt of
unemployment compensation.
Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and
conditions of these waivers.
The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also
change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should
consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you
do not need to pay our withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment because of
these waivers, you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the
amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax adviser to determine the effect of
a withdrawal on your taxes.
PREMIUM TAXES
Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge
premium taxes or similar taxes. We are responsible for paying these taxes and
will deduct them from your Contract Value. Some of these taxes are due when the
Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender.
Our current practice is not to charge anyone for these taxes until income
payments begin or when a total withdrawal occurs, including payment upon death.
At our discretion, we may discontinue this practice and deduct premium taxes
from the purchase payments. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 4%,
depending on the state.
At the Payout Start Date, if applicable, we deduct the charge for premium taxes
from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract owner's
value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.
DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES
We are not currently maintaining a provision for taxes. In the future, however,
we may establish a provision for taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion,
that we will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Variable Account.
We will deduct for any taxes we incur as a result of the operation of the
Variable Account, whether or not we previously made a provision for taxes and
whether or not it was sufficient. Our status under the Internal Revenue Code is
briefly described in the Statement of Additional Information.
OTHER EXPENSES
Each Portfolio deducts advisory fees and other expenses from its assets. You
indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held
by the Variable Sub-
23 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the accompanying prospectuses
for the Funds. For a summary of current estimates of those charges and expenses,
see page 8. We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or
administrators of the Portfolios in connection with the administrative services
we provide to the Portfolios.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the
Payout Start Date.
The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value (or portion thereof)
next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal at our home office,
adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less any withdrawal charges, contract
maintenance charges, income tax withholding, penalty tax, and any premium taxes.
We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account within 7 days of receipt of
the request, subject to postponement in certain circumstances.
You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options.
To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel
Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable
withdrawal charge and premium taxes.
You must name the investment alternative from which you are taking the
withdrawal. If none is named, then the withdrawal request is incomplete and
cannot be honored.
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. You also may withdraw a
lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in a Variable
Sub-Account.
If you request a total withdrawal, we may require you to return your Contract to
us.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under
the Contract if:
1. The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or
holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
2. An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or
3. The SEC permits delay for your protection.
In addition, we may delay payments or transfers from the Fixed Account Options
for up to 6 months (or shorter period if required by law). If we delay payment
for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start
Date. The minimum amount of each systematic withdrawal is $50. At our
discretion, systematic withdrawals may not be offered in conjunction with the
Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
Depending on fluctuations in the value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the
value of the Fixed Account Options, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even
exhaust the Contract Value. Income taxes may apply to systematic withdrawals.
Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.
We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. At
our discretion, we may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and
charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic
Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be
affected.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce your Contract Value to
less than $2,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract
Value. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value.
We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating
your Contract. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its
Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less
withdrawal and other charges and applicable taxes.

INCOME PAYMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYOUT START DATE
You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The Payout Start Date is
the day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must
be:
- - at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and
- - no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract
Anniversary, if later.
You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of
the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a
change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.
INCOME PLANS
An Income Plan is a series of scheduled payments to you or someone you
designate. You may choose and change your choice of Income Plan until 30 days
before the Payout Start Date. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make
income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with guaranteed payments for 10
years.
Three Income Plans are available under the Contract. Each is available to
provide:
- - fixed income payments;
- - variable income payments; or
- - a combination of the two.
The three Income Plans are:
INCOME PLAN 1 -- LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under this plan, we make
periodic income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the
Annuitant dies before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we
will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required
by the Contract.
INCOME PLAN 2 -- JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under
this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as either the
Annuitant or the joint Annuitant is alive. If both the Annuitant and the joint
Annuitant die before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will
continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by
the Contract.
INCOME PLAN 3 -- GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD (5 YEARS TO 30
YEARS). Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you
have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant's life. You may elect
to receive guaranteed payments for periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. Income
payments for less than 120 months may be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will
deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account
assets that support variable income payments even though we may not bear any
mortality risk.
The length of any guaranteed payment period under your selected Income Plan
generally will affect the dollar amounts of each income payment. As a general
rule, longer guarantee periods result in lower income payments, all other things
being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend
on the life of the Annuitant but with no minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments
made under the same Income Plan with a minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments.
If you choose Income Plan 1 or 2, or, if available, another Income Plan with
payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant, we may
require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting
income payments, and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant are alive
before we make each payment. Please note that under such Income Plans, if you
elect to take no minimum guaranteed payments, it is possible that the payee
could receive only 1 income payment if the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant
both die before the second income payment, or only 2 income payments if they die
before the third income payment, and so on.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals after the Payout Start Date. One
exception to this rule applies if you are receiving variable income payments
that do not depend on the life of the Annuitant (such as under Income Plan 3).
In that case you may terminate all or part of the Variable Account portion of
the income payments at any time and receive a lump sum equal to the commuted
balance of the remaining variable payments associated with the amount withdrawn.
The minimum amount you may withdraw under this feature is $1,000. A withdrawal
charge may apply. We deduct applicable premium taxes from the Contract Value at
the Payout Start Date.
We may make other Income Plans available.
If you elected the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Option, you may
be able to apply an amount greater than your Contract Value to an Income Plan.
You must apply at least the Contract Value in the Fixed Account on the Payout
Start Date to fixed income payments. If you wish to apply any portion of your
Fixed Account balance to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead
and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start
Date. If you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and
variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable
Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the Fixed Account
to fixed income payments.
We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value
Adjustment, less applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date.
If the amount
25 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000, or not enough to
provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:
- - pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment
and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments
you have chosen; or
- - reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least
$20.
VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment results
of the Variable Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and
sex of the Annuitant, and the Income Plan you choose. We guarantee that the
payments will not be affected by (a) actual mortality experience and (b) the
amount of our administration expenses.
We cannot predict the total amount of your variable income payments. Your
variable income payments may be more or less than your total purchase payments
because (a) variable income payments vary with the investment results of the
underlying Portfolios; and (b) the Annuitant could live longer or shorter than
we expect based on the tables we use.
In calculating the amount of the periodic payments in the annuity tables in the
Contract, we assumed an annual investment rate of 3%. If the actual net
investment return of the Variable Sub-Accounts you choose is less than this
assumed investment rate, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments
will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase,
however, if the actual net investment return exceeds the assumed investment
rate. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net
investment return equals the assumed investment rate. Please refer to the
Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we
determine variable income payments.
FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS
We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for
the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:
1. adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on
the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;
2. deducting any applicable premium tax; and
3. applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value
from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are
offering at that time.
We may defer making fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or any
shorter time state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we
will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal
request to the date we make payment.
CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that
provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in
states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment
tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by
applicable law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required
by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if
the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement
or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you
should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is
appropriate.
DEATH BENEFITS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We will pay a death benefit prior to the Payout Start Date on:
1. the death of any Contract owner or,
2. the death of the Annuitant, if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person.
We will pay the death benefit to the new Contract owner as determined
immediately after the death. The new Contract owner would be a surviving
Contract owner or, if none, the Beneficiary(ies). In the case of the death of
the Annuitant, we will pay the death benefit to the current Contract owner.
A claim for a distribution on death must include DUE PROOF OF DEATH. We will
accept the following documentation as "Due Proof of Death":
- - a certified copy of a death certificate,
- - a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
finding of death, or
26 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
- - any other proof acceptable to us.
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT
Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
1. the Contract Value as of the date we determine the value of the death
benefit, or
2. the SETTLEMENT VALUE (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of
Contract Value) on the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or
3. the Contract Value on each DEATH BENEFIT ANNIVERSARY prior to the date we
determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that
Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial
withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary. A "Death Benefit Anniversary"
is every seventh Contract Anniversary beginning with the Issue Date. For
example, the Issue Date, 7th and 14th Contract Anniversaries are the first 3
Death Benefit Anniversaries.
The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result
multiplied by (c), where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = is the withdrawal amount;
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal; and
(c) = is the Contract value on the Death
Benefit Anniversary adjusted by any
prior purchase payments or withdrawals
made since that Anniversary.
</TABLE>
We will determine the value of the death benefit as of the end of the Valuation
Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit. If
we receive a request after 3 p.m. Central Time on a Valuation Date, we will
process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER
If the Contract owner is a living individual, the enhanced death benefit applies
only upon the death of the Contract owner. If the Contract owner is not a living
individual, the enhanced death benefit applies only upon the death of the
Annuitant. For Contracts with the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the death
benefit will be the greatest of (1) through (3) above, or (4) the enhanced death
benefit. The enhanced death benefit is equal to the greater of the Enhanced
Death Benefit A or Enhanced Death Benefit B. Enhanced Death Benefit B may not be
available in all states.
That enhanced death benefit will never be greater than the maximum death benefit
allowed by any state nonforfeiture laws that govern the Contract.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT A. At issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is equal to the
initial purchase payment. After issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is the greatest
of the ANNIVERSARY VALUES as of the date we determine the death benefit. The
"Anniversary Value" is equal to the Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary,
increased by purchase payments made since that Anniversary and reduced by an
adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Anniversary. The adjustment is
equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = is the withdrawal amount,
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal, and
(c) = is the Contract Value on that Contract
Anniversary adjusted by any prior
purchase payments and withdrawals
since that Contract Anniversary.
</TABLE>
We will calculate Anniversary Values for each Contract Anniversary prior to the
oldest Contract owner's or the Annuitant's, if the Contract owner is not a
natural person, 80th birthday.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT B. The Enhanced Death Benefit B is equal to total
purchase payments made reduced by a withdrawal adjustment, as defined below.
Each purchase payment and each withdrawal adjustment will accumulate daily at a
rate equivalent to 5% per year until the earlier of:
- - the date we determine the death benefit, or
- - the first day of the month following the oldest Contract owner's or, if the
Contract owner is not a natural person, the Annuitant's, 85th birthday.
The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c)
where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = the withdrawal amount,
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal, and
(c) = is the most recently calculated
enhanced death benefit.
</TABLE>
ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER
You may elect not to choose the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and may instead
choose the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider.
The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit
Combination Rider is as described above under "Enhanced Death Benefit Rider."
The enhanced income benefit defines a minimum amount applied to the Payout
Phase. This minimum amount is equal
27 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
to the value the enhanced death benefit would be on the Payout Start Date.
The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract owner elects a Payout
Start Date that:
- - is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and
- - is prior to the Annuitant's 90th Birthday.
On the Payout Start Date, you may apply the greater of the Contract Value or the
enhanced income benefit to the Payout Phase of the Contract. No Market Value
Adjustment will be applied to the enhanced income benefit amount. The enhanced
income benefit will only apply if the Income Plan selected provides payments
guaranteed for either a single or joint lives with a period certain of at least:
- - 10 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is 80 or less on the date the amount
is applied; or
- - 5 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is greater than 80 on the date the
amount is applied.
If, however, you apply the Contract Value and not the enhanced income benefit to
the Income Plan, then you may select any Income Plan we offer at that time.
DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS
A death benefit will be paid:
1. if the Contract owner elects to receive the death benefit distributed in a
single payment within 180 days of the date of death, and
2. if the death benefit is paid as of the day the value of the death benefit is
determined. Otherwise, the Settlement Value will be paid. We are currently
waiving the 180 day limit, but we reserve the right to enforce the limitation in
the future.
In any event, the entire value of the Contract must be distributed within 5
years after the date of death unless an Income Plan is elected or a surviving
spouse continues the Contract in accordance with the provisions described below.
If the Contract owner eligible to receive the distribution upon death is not a
natural person, the Contract owner may elect to receive the distribution upon
death in one or more distributions.
If the Contract owner is a natural person, the Contract owner may elect to
receive the distribution upon death either in one or more distributions or by
periodic payments through an Income Plan. Payments from the Income Plan must
begin within one year of the date of death and must be payable throughout:
- - the life of the Contract owner; or
- - a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Contract owner; or
- - the life of the Contract owner with payments guaranteed to a period not to
exceed the life expectancy of the Contract owner.
If the surviving spouse of the deceased Contract owner is the new Contract
owner, then the spouse may elect one of the options listed above or may continue
the Contract in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. If the
Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the surviving spouse may make a
single withdrawal of any amount within 1 year of the date of death without
incurring a withdrawal charge or Market Value Adjustment.

GLENBROOK
Glenbrook is the issuer of the Contract. Glenbrook is a stock life insurance
company organized under the laws of the State of Arizona in 1998. Previously,
Glenbrook was organized under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1992.
Glenbrook was originally organized under the laws of the State of Indiana in
1965. From 1965 to 1983 Glenbrook was known as "United Standard Life Assurance
Company" and from 1983 to 1992 as "William Penn Life Assurance Company of
America."
Glenbrook is currently licensed to operate in the District of Columbia and all
states except New York. We intend to offer the Contract in those jurisdictions
in which we are licensed. Our home office is located at 3100 Sanders Road,
Northbrook, Illinois, 60062.
Glenbrook is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company
("ALLSTATE LIFE"), a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Illinois. Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate
Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company incorporated
under the laws of Illinois. All of the outstanding capital stock of Allstate
Insurance Company is owned by The Allstate Corporation.
Glenbrook and Allstate Life entered into a reinsurance agreement effective
June 5, 1992. Under the reinsurance agreement, Allstate Life reinsures
substantially all of Glenbrook's liabilities under its various insurance
contracts. The reinsurance agreement provides us with financial backing from
Allstate Life. However, it does not create a direct contractual relationship
between Allstate Life and you. In other words, the obligations of Allstate Life
under the reinsurance agreement are to Glenbrook; Glenbrook remains the sole
obligor under the Contract to you.
Several independent rating agencies regularly evaluate life insurers'
claims-paying ability, quality of investments, and overall stability. A.M. Best
Company assigns A+ (Superior) to Allstate Life which automatically reinsures all
net business of Glenbrook. A.M. Best Company also assigns Glenbrook the rating
of A+(r) because Glenbrook automatically reinsures all net business with
Allstate Life. Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services assigns an AA+ (Very
Strong) financial strength rating and Moody's assigns an Aa2 (Excellent)
financial strength rating to Glenbrook. Glenbrook shares the same ratings of its
parent, Allstate Life. These ratings do not reflect the investment performance
of the Variable Account. We may from time to time advertise these ratings in our
sales literature.
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
Glenbrook established the Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account on
January 15, 1996. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit
investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable
Account or Glenbrook.
We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated
asset account under Arizona law. That means we account for the Variable
Account's income, gains and losses separately from the results of our other
operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are
in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the
Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations.
Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of
Glenbrook.
The Variable Account consists of 62 Variable Sub-Accounts. Each Variable
Sub-Account invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable
Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or
investment conditions so warrant. We may also add other Variable Sub-Accounts
that may be available under other variable annuity contracts. We do not
guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts
or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity
contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded
by the Variable Account.
THE PORTFOLIOS
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. We automatically reinvest all
dividends and capital gains distributions from the Portfolios in shares of the
distributing Portfolio at their net asset value.
VOTING PRIVILEGES. As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote
the shares of the Portfolios held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have
allocated your Contract Value. Under current law, however, you are entitled to
give us instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. Based on
our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the Portfolios that we
hold directly or indirectly through the Variable Account in accordance with
instructions that we receive from Contract owners entitled to give such
instructions.
As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract owner or anyone
with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The
number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by
dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by
the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record
date of the meeting. After the Payout Start Date the person receiving income
payments has the voting interest. The payee's number of votes will be determined
by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Variable
Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. The
29 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract
decrease.
We will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which we have not received
instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we
vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we
may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to
abstain on any item to be voted upon on a pro-rata basis to reduce the votes
eligible to be cast.
We reserve the right to vote Portfolio shares as we see fit without regard to
voting instructions to the extent permitted by law. If we disregard voting
instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that
action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.
CHANGES IN PORTFOLIOS. If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer
available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further
investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the
Contract, we may eliminate that Portfolio and substitute shares of another
eligible investment fund. Any substitution of securities will comply with the
requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new Variable
Sub-Accounts that invest in additional mutual funds. We will notify you in
advance of any change.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Certain of the Portfolios sell their shares to separate
accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life
insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in
the same Portfolio. The boards of directors of these Portfolios monitor for
possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Portfolios.
Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in
treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to
comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, a
Portfolio's board of directors may require a separate account to withdraw its
participation in a Portfolio. A Portfolio's net asset value could decrease if it
had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate
account withdrawing because of a conflict.
THE CONTRACT
DISTRIBUTION. ALFS, Inc.* ("ALFS"), located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL
60062-7154, serves as principal underwriter of the Contracts. ALFS is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Allstate Life. ALFS is a registered broker dealer under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("EXCHANGE ACT"), and is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
We will pay commissions to broker-dealers who sell the contracts. Commissions
paid may vary, but we estimate that the total commissions paid on all Contract
sales will not exceed 8% of all purchase payments. These commissions are
intended to cover distribution expenses. Sometimes, we also pay the
broker-dealer a persistency bonus in addition to the standard commissions. A
persistency bonus is not expected to exceed 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the
Contract Values considered in connection with the bonus. In some states,
Contracts may be sold by representatives or employees of banks which may be
acting as broker-dealers without separate registration under the Exchange Act,
pursuant to legal and regulatory exceptions.
Glenbrook does not pay ALFS a commission for distribution of the Contracts. The
underwriting agreement with ALFS provides that we will reimburse ALFS for any
liability to Contract owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts
issued.
ADMINISTRATION. We have primary responsibility for all administration of the
Contracts and the Variable Account. We provide the following administrative
services, among others:
- - issuance of the Contracts;
- - maintenance of Contract owner records;
- - Contract owner services;
- - calculation of unit values;
- - maintenance of the Variable Account; and
- - preparation of Contract owner reports.
We will send you Contract statements and transaction confirmations at least

QUALIFIED PLANS
If you use the Contract within a qualified plan, the plan may impose different
or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waivers of withdrawal
charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract
features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if qualified plan
limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your
qualified plan administrator for more information.
LEGAL MATTERS
Freedman, Levy, Kroll & Simonds, Washington, D.C., has advised Glenbrook on
certain federal securities law matters. All matters of state insurance law
pertaining to the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and
Glenbrook's right to issue such Contracts under state insurance law, have been
passed upon by Michael J. Velotta, General Counsel of Glenbrook.
YEAR 2000
Glenbrook is heavily dependent upon complex computer systems for all phases of
its operations, including customer service, and policy and contract
administration. Since many of Glenbrook's older computer software programs
recognize only the last two digits of the year in any date, some software may
have failed to operate properly in or after the year 1999, if the software was
not reprogrammed or replaced ("YEAR 2000 ISSUE"). Glenbrook believes that many
of its counterparties and suppliers also had potential Year 2000 Issues which
could affect Glenbrook. In 1995, Allstate Insurance Company commenced a four
phase plan intended to mitigate and/or prevent the adverse effects of Year 2000
Issues. These strategies included normal development and enhancement of new and
existing systems, upgrades to operating systems already covered by maintenance
agreements, and modifications to existing systems to make them Year 2000
compliant. The plan also included Glenbrook actively working with its major
external counterparties and suppliers to assess their compliance efforts and
Glenbrook's exposure to them. Because of the accuracy of this plan, and its
timely completion, Glenbrook has experienced no material impacts on its results
of operations, liquidity or financial position due to the Year 2000 issue. Year
2000 costs are expensed as incurred.
TAXES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. GLENBROOK
MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION
INVOLVING A CONTRACT.
Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of
distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances.
If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard to your individual
circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
TAX DEFERRAL. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value
until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:
1. the Contract owner is a natural person,
2. the investments of the Variable Account are "adequately diversified"
according to Treasury Department regulations, and
3. Glenbrook is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal
income tax purposes.
NON-NATURAL OWNERS. As a general rule, annuity contracts owned by non-natural
persons such as corporations, trusts, or other entities are not treated as
annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. The income on such contracts
is taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the owner during the taxable
year. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of
several exceptions to the general rule for Contracts owned by non-natural
persons.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for
federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Variable Account must be
"adequately diversified" consistent with standards under Treasury Department
regulations. If the investments in the Variable Account are not adequately
diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal
income tax purposes. As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as
ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable
year. Although Glenbrook does not have control over the Portfolios or their
investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.
OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. The IRS has stated that you will be considered the owner of
Variable Account assets if you possess incidents of ownership in those assets,
such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time
the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced
that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which
investor control of separate account investments may cause an investor to be
31 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also
stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners
could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the
underlying assets of the separate account.
Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in
rulings in which it found that contract owners were not owners of separate
account assets. For example, you have the choice to allocate premiums and
Contract Values among more investment alternatives. Also, you may be able to
transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings.
These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable
Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Variable Account assets would
be includible in your gross income. Glenbrook does not know what standards will
be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may
issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department
could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right
to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being
considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However,
we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.
TAXATION OF PARTIAL AND FULL WITHDRAWALS. If you make a partial withdrawal under
a non-Qualified Contract, amounts received are taxable to the extent the
Contract Value, without regard to surrender charges, exceeds the investment in
the Contract. The investment in the Contract is the gross premium paid for the
Contract minus any amounts previously received from the Contract if such amounts
were properly excluded from your gross income. If you make a partial withdrawal
under a Qualified Contract, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio
to the total payment that the investment in the Contract (i.e., nondeductible
IRA contributions, after tax contributions to qualified plans) bears to the
Contract Value, is excluded from your income. If you make a full withdrawal
under a non-Qualified Contract or a Qualified Contract, the amount received will
be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the investment in the Contract.
"Nonqualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are treated as made from
contributions first and are included in gross income only to the extent that
distributions exceed contributions. "Qualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are
not included in gross income. "Qualified distributions" are any distributions
made more than 5 taxable years after the taxable year of the first contribution
to any Roth IRA and which are:
- - made on or after the date the individual attains age 59 1/2,
- - made to a beneficiary after the Contract owner's death,
- - attributable to the Contract owner being disabled, or
- - for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a
lifetime limit of $10,000).
If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration
to a person other than your spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a
divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the
investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Except for certain Qualified
Contracts, any amount you receive as a loan under a Contract, and any assignment
or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is treated as
a withdrawal of such amount or portion.
TAXATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS. Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity
payments received from a non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your
investment in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period.
The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the
amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the
ratio of the investment in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or
period certain) to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of
the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from
taxable income is determined by dividing the investment in the Contract by the
total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable
after the total amount of the investment in the Contract is excluded using these
ratios. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the
investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount will be allowed
as a deduction for your last taxable year.
TAXATION OF ANNUITY DEATH BENEFITS. Death of a Contract owner, or death of the
Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person, will cause a
distribution of death benefits from a Contract. Generally, such amounts are
included in income as follows:
1. if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a
full withdrawal, or
2. if distributed under an annuity option, the amounts are taxed in the same
manner as an annuity payment. Please see the Statement of Additional Information
for more detail on distribution at death requirements.
PENALTY TAX ON PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable
amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract. The penalty
tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age
59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
1. made on or after the date the Contract owner attains age 59 1/2;
2. made as a result of the Contract owner's death or disability;
32 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
3. made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract owner's life
or life expectancy,
4. made under an immediate annuity, or
5. attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.
You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine if any other exceptions
to the penalty apply to your situation. Similar exceptions may apply to
distributions from Qualified Contracts.
AGGREGATION OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS. All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts
issued by Glenbrook (or its affiliates) to the same Contract owner during any
calendar year will be aggregated and treated as one annuity contract for
purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.
TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Contracts may be used as investments with certain qualified plans such as:
- - Individual Retirement Annuities or Accounts (IRAs) under Section 408 of the
Code;
- - Roth IRAs under Section 408A of the Code;
- - Simplified Employee Pension Plans under Section 408(k) of the Code;
- - Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE) Plans under Section
408(p) of the Code;
- - Tax Sheltered Annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code;
- - Corporate and Self Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans; and
- - State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation
Plans.
The income on qualified plan and IRA investments is tax deferred and variable
annuities held by such plans do not receive any additional tax deferral. You
should review the annuity features, including all benefits and expenses, prior
to purchasing a variable annuity in a qualified plan or IRA. Glenbrook reserves
the right to limit the availablity of the Contract for use with any of the
Qualified Plans listed above.
In the case of certain qualified plans, the terms of the plans may govern the
right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
RESTRICTIONS UNDER SECTION 403(b) PLANS. Section 403(b) of the Tax Code provides
tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and
educational organizations. Under Section 403(b), any Contract used for a 403(b)
plan must provide that distributions attributable to salary reduction
contributions made after December 31, 1998, and all earnings on salary reduction
contributions, may be made only:
1. on or after the date the employee
- - attains age 59 1/2,
- - separates from service,
- - dies,
- - becomes disabled, or
2. on account of hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be
distributed on the account of hardship).
These limitations do not apply to withdrawals where Glenbrook is directed to
transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Glenbrook is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 20% on all
"eligible rollover distributions" unless you elect to make a "direct rollover"
of such amounts to an IRA or eligible retirement plan. Eligible rollover
distributions generally include all distributions from Qualified Contracts,
excluding IRAs, with the exception of:
1. required minimum distributions, or
2. a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at
least 10 years, or over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and
beneficiary).
Glenbrook may be required to withhold federal and state income taxes on any
distributions from non-Qualified Contracts or Qualified Contracts that are not
eligible rollover distributions, unless you notify us of your election to not
have taxes withheld.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We may advertise the performance of the Variable Sub-Accounts, including yield
and total return information. Total return represents the change, over a
specified period of time, in the value of an investment in a Variable
Sub-Account after reinvesting all income distributions. Yield refers to the
income generated by an investment in a Variable Sub-Account over a specified
period.
All performance advertisements will include, as applicable, standardized yield
and total return figures that reflect the deduction of insurance charges, the
contract maintenance charge, and withdrawal charge. Performance advertisements
also may include total return figures that reflect the deduction of insurance
charges, but not the contract maintenance or withdrawal charges. The deduction
of such charges would reduce the performance shown. In addition, performance
advertisements may include aggregate average, year-by-year, or other types of
total return figures.
Performance information for periods prior to the inception date of the Variable
Sub-Accounts will be based on the historical performance of the corresponding
Portfolios for the periods beginning with the inception dates of the Portfolios
and adjusted to reflect current Contract expenses. You should not interpret
these figures to reflect actual historical performance of the Variable Account.
We may include in advertising and sales materials tax deferred compounding
charts and other hypothetical illustrations that compare currently taxable and
tax deferred investment programs based on selected tax brackets. Our
advertisements also may compare the performance of our Variable Sub-Accounts
with: (a) certain unmanaged market indices, including but not limited to the Dow
Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500, and the Shearson Lehman
Bond Index; and/or (b) other management investment companies with investment
objectives similar to the underlying funds being compared. In addition, our
advertisements may include the performance ranking assigned by various
publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Money,
Barron's, Business Week, USA Today, and statistical services, including Lipper
Analytical Services Mutual Fund Survey, Lipper Annuity and Closed End Survey,
the Variable Annuity Research Data Survey, and SEI.

APPENDIX B
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:
I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week
preceding the establishment of the Guarantee Period.
N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive the
withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request, or from the Payout Start Date to
the end of the Guarantee Period.
J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week
preceding the receipt of the withdrawal, transfer, death benefit, or income
payment request. If a Note with a maturity of the original Guarantee Period is
not available, we will use a weighted average.
Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported
in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:
.9 X (I - J) X N
To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value
Adjustment factor by the amount transferred, withdrawn (in excess of the Free
Withdrawal Amount), paid as a death benefit, or applied to an Income Plan from a
Guarantee Period at any time other than during the 30 day period after such
Guarantee Period expires.

EXAMPLES OF MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Purchase Payment: $10,000 allocated to a Guarantee Period
Guarantee Period: 5 years
Interest Rate: 4.50%
Full Withdrawal: End of Contract Year 3
</TABLE>
NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.
EXAMPLE 1: (ASSUMES DECLINING INTEREST RATES)
Step 1: Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
= 10,000 X (1.045) TO THE POWER OF 3 = $11,411.66
Step 2: Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:
= .15 X (10,000.00) = $1,500.00
Step 3: Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
= .05 X (10,000.00 - 1,500.00) = $425.00
Step 4: Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:
I = 4.50%
J = 4.20%
730 DAYS
N = -------- = 2
365 DAYS
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR: .9 X (I - J) - N
= .9 X (.045 - .042) X 2 = .0054
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT = MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR X AMOUNT SUBJECT TO
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT:
= .0054 X (11,411.66 - 1,500) = $53.52
Step 5: Calculate the amount received by Contract owner as a result of
full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
= 11,411.66 - 425.00 + 53.52 = $11,040.18
EXAMPLE 2: (ASSUMES RISING INTEREST RATES)
Step 1: Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
= 10,000.00 X (1.045) TO THE POWER OF 3 = $11,411.66
Step 2: Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:
= .15 X (10,000.00) = $1,500.00
Step 3: Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
= .05 X (10,000.00 - 1,500.00) = $425.00
Step 4: Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:
I = 4.50%
J = 4.80%
730 DAYS
N = -------- = 2
365 DAYS
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR: .9 X (I - J) X N
= .9 X (.045 - .048) X (2) = -.0054
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT = MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR X AMOUNT SUBJECT TO
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT:
= -.0054 X (11,411.66 - 1,500) = -$53.52
Step 5: Calculate the amount received by Contract owner as a result of
full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
= 11,411.66 - 425.00 - 53.52 = $10,933.14

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Contract basically works in two ways.
First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the CONTRACT OWNER) save for
retirement because you can invest in up to 42 investment alternatives and pay no
federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during
what we call the "ACCUMULATION PHASE" of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase
begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the "ISSUE DATE")
and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money
to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your
purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/or Fixed
Account Options. If you invest in any of the three Fixed Account Options, you
will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest
in any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down
depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.
Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to
receive retirement income for life and/or for a pre-set number of years, by
selecting one of the income payment options (we call these "INCOME PLANS")
described on page 26. You receive income payments during what we call the
"PAYOUT PHASE" of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and
continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select.
During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we
guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a
variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable
Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the
performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate
under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan
will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.
The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.

As the Contract owner, you exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by
the Contract. If you die, any surviving Contract owner or, if none, the
BENEFICIARY will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the Contract.
SEE"The Contract." In addition, if you die before the Payout Start Date, we will
pay a death benefit to any surviving Contract owner, or if there is none, to
your Beneficiary. SEE "Death Benefits."

(3) Initial Class.
(4) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
reduce fund expenses. In addition, through arrangements with certain funds',
or Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") on behalf of certain
funds' custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances
were used to reduce a portion of each applicable fund's expenses. With these
reductions, the "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" presented in the table
would have been 0.65% for Contrafund-Registered Trademark- Portfolio, 0.56%
for Equity-Income Portfolio, and 0.65% for Growth Portfolio.
(5) On February 8, 2000, a merger and reorganization was approved that combined
the assets of the fund with a similar fund of the Templeton Variable
Products Series Fund, effective May 1, 2000. On February 8, 2000, fund
shareholders approved new management fees, which apply to the combined fund
effective May 1, 2000. The table shows restated total expenses based on the
new fees and assets of the fund as of December 31, 1999, and not the assets
of the combined fund. However, if the table reflected both the new fees and
the combined assets, the fund's expenses after May 1, 2000 would be
estimated as: "Management Fees" 0.55%, "Rule 12b-1 Fees" 0.25%, "Other
Expenses" 0.27%, and "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" 1.07%.

(8) On February 8, 2000, shareholders approved a merger and reorganization that
combined the fund with the Templeton Developing Markets Equity Fund,
effective May 1, 2000. The shareholders of that fund had approved new
management fees, which apply to combined fund effective May 1, 2000. The
table shows restated total expenses based on the new fees and the assets of
the fund as of December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund.
However, if the table reflected both the new fees and the combined assets,
the fund's expenses after May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: "Management
Fees" 1.25%, "Rule 12b-1 Fees" 0.25%, "Other Expenses" 0.29%, and "Total

(12) The Funds' expenses are based on estimated expenses for the fiscal year
December 31, 2000.
(13) Goldman Sachs Asset Management and Goldman Sachs Asset Management
International, the investment advisors, have voluntarily agreed to reduce or
limit certain other expenses (excluding management fees, taxes, interest,
brokerage fees, litigation, indemnification, and other extraordinary
expenses) to the extent such expenses exceed the percentage stated in the

daily net assets. Without the limitations described above, "Other Expenses"
and "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" would be estimated as follows:

(14) Each series has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the series'
custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the series with
its custodian and dividend disbursing agent. Each series may enter into
other such arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements, which would
also have the effect of reducing the series' expenses. "Other Expenses" do
not take into account these expense reductions, and are therefore higher
than the actual expenses of the series. Had these fee reductions been taken
into account, "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" would be lower for certain
series and would equal: 0.83% for Emerging Growth Series, 0.87% for Growth
with Income Series, 1.05% for New Discovery Series, and 0.85% for Research
Series.
(15) MFS has contractually agreed, subject to reimbursement, to bear expenses
for these series such that each such series' "Other Expenses" (after taking
into account the expense offset arrangement described above), do not exceed
the following percentages of the average daily net assets of the series
during the current fiscal year: 0.15% for New Discovery Series. These
contractual fee arrangements will continue until at least May 1, 2001,
unless changed with the consent of the board of trustees which oversees the
series.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the
Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the "ACCUMULATION UNIT".
Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we
call "ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE." Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not
the same as, the share price of a mutual fund.
Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation
Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date the Contracts were first
offered. No Accumulation Unit Values are shown for the following Variable
Sub-Accounts which commenced operations as of May 1, 2000: Franklin Small Cap
(Class 2), Mutal Shares Securities (Class 2), and Templeton Growth Securities
(Class 2). To obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account's finances,
please refer to the Variable Account's financial statements contained in the
Statement of Additional Information. The financial statements of Glenbrook also
appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

THE CONTRACT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT OWNER
The Glenbrook Provider Variable Annuity is a contract between you, the Contract
owner, and Glenbrook, a life insurance company. As the Contract owner, you may
exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract. That
means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):
- - the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases,
- - the amount and timing of your purchase payments and withdrawals,
- - the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money,
- - the income payment plan you want to use to receive retirement income,
- - the Annuitant (either yourself or someone else) on whose life the income
payments will be based,
- - the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the
Contract provides when the last surviving Contract owner dies, and
- - any other rights that the Contract provides.
If you die, any surviving Contract owner, or, if none, the Beneficiary may
exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract.
The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-natural person and a natural
person.
You can use the Contract with or without a qualified plan. A qualified plan is a
personal retirement savings plan, such as an IRA or tax-sheltered annuity, that
meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualified plans may limit
or modify your rights and privileges under the Contract. We use the term
"Qualified Contract" to refer to a Contract issued within a qualified plan. See
"Qualified Plans" on page 34.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the individual whose life determines the amount and duration of
income payments (other than under Income Plans with guaranteed payments for a
specified period). You initially designate an Annuitant in your application. You
may change the Annuitant at any time prior to the Payout Start Date (only if the
Contract owner is a natural person). You may designate a joint Annuitant, who is
a second person on whose life income payments depend. We permit joint Annuitants
only on or after the Payout Start Date. If the Annuitant dies prior to the
Payout Start Date, the new Annuitant will be:
(i) the youngest Contract owner; otherwise,
(ii) the youngest Beneficiary.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is the person who may elect to receive the death benefit or
become the new Contract owner if the sole surviving Contract owner dies before
the Payout Start Date. If the sole surviving Contract owner dies after the
Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments
scheduled to continue.
You may name one or more Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. You may
change or add Beneficiaries at any time, unless you have designated an
irrevocable Beneficiary. We will provide a change of Beneficiary form to be
signed and filed with us. Any change will be effective at the time you sign the
written notice. Until we receive your written notice to change a Beneficiary, we
are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information in our files. We
will not be liable as to any payment or settlement made prior to receiving the
written notice. Accordingly, if you wish to change your Beneficiary, you should
deliver your written notice to us promptly.
If you did not name a Beneficiary or, unless otherwise provided in the
Beneficiary designation, if a named Beneficiary is no longer living and there
are no other surviving Beneficiaries, the new Beneficiary will be:
- - your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive,
- - your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children,
- - your estate.
If more than one Beneficiary survives you (or survives the Annuitant, if the
Contract owner is not a natural person) we will divide the death benefit among
your Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you
have not given us written instructions, we will pay the death benefit in equal
amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Only a Glenbrook officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the
Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. None of our agents has the
authority to change or waive the provisions of the Contract. We may not change
the terms of the Contract without your consent, except to conform the Contract
to applicable law or changes in the law. If a provision of the Contract is
inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.
ASSIGNMENT
We will not honor an assignment of an interest in a Contract as collateral or
security for a loan. However, you may assign periodic income payments under the
Contract prior to the Payout Start Date. No Beneficiary may assign benefits
under the Contract until they are payable to the Beneficiary. We will not be
bound by any assignment until the assignor signs
14 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
it and files it with us. We are not responsible for the validity of any
assignment. Federal law prohibits or restricts the assignment of benefits under
many types of retirement plans and the terms of such plans may themselves
contain restrictions on assignments. An assignment may also result in taxes or
tax penalties. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE TRYING TO ASSIGN YOUR
CONTRACT.
PURCHASES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Your initial purchase payment must be at least $3,000 ($2,000 for a Qualified
Contract). All subsequent purchase payments must be $50 or more. You may make
purchase payments at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. We reserve the
right to limit the maximum amount of purchase payments we will accept.
AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM
You may make subsequent purchase payments by automatically transferring money
from your bank account. Consult your representative for more detailed
information.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
At the time you apply for a Contract, you must decide how to allocate your
purchase payments among the investment alternatives. The allocation you specify
on your application will be effective immediately. All allocations must be in
whole percents that total 100% or in whole dollars. You can change your
allocations by notifying us in writing.
We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment alternatives according
to your most recent instructions on file with us. Unless you notify us in
writing otherwise, we will allocate subsequent purchase payments according to
the allocation for the previous purchase payment. We will effect any change in
allocation instructions at the time we receive written notice of the change in
good order.
We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed
application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment
at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to
complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit
your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that 5 business day
period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the 5
business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete
the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at
the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our
home office.
We are open for business each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as "VALUATION DATES."
Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m.
Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after
3 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment
using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may cancel the Contract by returning it to us within the Cancellation
Period, which is the 20 day period after you receive the Contract, or a longer
period should your state require it. You may return it by delivering it or
mailing it to us. If you exercise this "RIGHT TO CANCEL," the Contract
terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your purchase payments
allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your purchase payments
allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law
permits, to reflect investment gain or loss that occurred from the date of
allocation through the date of cancellation. Some states may require us to
return a greater amount to you.
In states where we are required to refund purchase payments, we reserve the
right during the Cancellation Period to invest any purchase payments you
allocated to a Variable Sub-Account to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account
available under the Contract. We will notify you if we do so. At the end of the
Cancellation Period, you may then allocate your money to other Variable
Sub-Accounts.
15 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the
sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you
have selected, plus the value of your investment in the Fixed Account Options.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to
credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase payment or
transfer you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation
Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your
payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment
allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the
Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable
Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable
Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that
Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account
will rise or fall to reflect:
- - changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account
invests, and
- - the deduction of amounts reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge,
administrative expense charge, and any provision for taxes that have accrued
since we last calculated the Accumulation Unit Value.
We determine contract maintenance charges, withdrawal charges, and transfer fees
(currently waived) separately for each Contract. They do not affect Accumulation
Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming
Accumulation Units. For details on how we calculate Accumulation Unit Value,
please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account on
each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit
Values reflecting the cost of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced
Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider described on pages 27-28.
YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THE FUNDS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS
PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE ASSETS OF EACH PORTFOLIO ARE VALUED,
SINCE THAT DETERMINATION DIRECTLY BEARS ON THE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE OF THE
CORRESPONDING VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNT AND, THEREFORE, YOUR CONTRACT VALUE.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate your purchase payments to up to 39 Variable Sub-Accounts. Each
Variable Sub-Account invests in the shares of a corresponding Portfolio. Each
Portfolio has its own investment objective(s) and policies. We briefly describe
the Portfolios below.
For more complete information about each Portfolio, including expenses and risks
associated with the Portfolio, please refer to the accompanying prospectuses for
the Funds. You should carefully review the Fund prospectuses before allocating
amounts to the Variable Sub-Accounts.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate all or a portion of your purchase payments to the Fixed
Account. You may choose from among 3 Fixed Account Options including 2 dollar
cost averaging options and the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods
included in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Options may
not be available in all states. Please consult with your representative for
current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity
obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those
in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of
the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to a Fixed
Account Option does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the
Fixed Account.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. Purchase payments that you allocate
to the DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION ("DCA FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION")
will earn interest for a one year period at the current rate in effect at the
time of allocation. We will credit interest daily at a rate that will compound
over the year to the annual interest rate we guaranteed at the time of
allocation. After the one year period, we will declare a renewal rate which we
guarantee for a full year. Subsequent renewal dates will be every twelve months
for each payment or transfer.
We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the DCA
Fixed Account Option. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more than 36
monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment and all
its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 36
months of payment. At the end of 36 months, we will transfer the remaining
payment and associated earnings to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account. No
transfers are permitted into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account.
SHORT TERM DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. You may establish a Short
Term Dollar Cost Averaging Program by allocating purchase payments to THE SHORT
TERM DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION ("SHORT TERM DCA FIXED ACCOUNT
OPTION"). We will credit interest to purchase payments you allocate to this
Option for up to one year at the current rate in effect at the time of
allocation.
We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the Short
Term DCA Fixed Account Option. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more
than 12 monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment
and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within
12 months. If you discontinue the Dollar Cost Averaging Program before the end
of the transfer period, we will transfer the remaining balance in this Option to
the Money Market Variable Sub-Account unless you request a different investment
alternative. No transfers are permitted into the Short Term Dollar Cost
Averaging Fixed Account.
We bear the investment risk for all amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Account
Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. That is because we guarantee
the current and renewal interest rates we credit to the amounts you allocate to
either of these Options, which will never be less than the minimum guaranteed
rate in the Contract. Currently, we determine, in our sole discretion, the
amount of interest credited in excess of the guaranteed rate.
We may declare more than one interest rate for different monies based upon the
date of allocation to the DCA Fixed Account Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed
Account Option. For current interest rate information, please contact your
representative or our customer support unit at 1-800-755-5275.
GUARANTEE PERIODS
Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a
specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may
range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3,
5, 7, and 10 years in length. In the future we may offer Guarantee Periods of
different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.
You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not
select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for
your most recent purchase payment(s).
Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50.
We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that
you may allocate to this Option.
INTEREST RATES. We will tell you what interest rates and Guarantee Periods we
are offering at a particular time. We will not change the interest rate that we
credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee
Period. We may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the
same length that begin at different times.
We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest that we will
declare initially or in the future. We will set those interest rates based on
investment returns available at the time of the determination. In addition, we
may consider various other factors in determining interest rates including
regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative
expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. WE DETERMINE THE
INTEREST RATES TO BE DECLARED IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. WE CAN NEITHER
19 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
PREDICT NOR GUARANTEE WHAT THOSE RATES WILL BE IN THE FUTURE. For current
interest rate information, please contact your representative or Glenbrook at
1-800-755-5275.
HOW WE CREDIT INTEREST. We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated
to a Guarantee Period at a rate that compounds to the annual interest rate that
we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period. The following
example illustrates how a purchase payment allocated to a Guaranteed Period
would grow, given an assumed Guarantee Period and annual interest rate:

$12,461.82
Total Interest Credited During Guarantee Period = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82 - $10,000.00)
</TABLE>
This example assumes no withdrawals during the entire 5 year Guarantee Period.
If you were to make a withdrawal, you may be required to pay a withdrawal
charge. In addition, the amount withdrawn may be increased or decreased by a
Market Value Adjustment that reflects changes in interest rates since the time
you invested the amount withdrawn. The hypothetical interest rate is for
illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict future interest rates
to be declared under the Contract. Actual interest rates declared for any given
Guarantee Period may be more or less than shown above.
RENEWALS. Prior to the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice
asking you what to do with your money, including the accrued interest. During
the 30-day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may:
1. Take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new Guarantee
Period of the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee
Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new
interest rate will be our current declared rate for a Guarantee Period of that
length; or
2. Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your
choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee
Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for
those Guarantee Periods; or
3. Instruct us to transfer all or a portion of your money to one or more
Variable Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. We will effect the transfer on
the day we receive your instructions. We will not adjust the amount transferred
to include a Market Value Adjustment; or
4. Withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a
withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a
Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and
income tax withholding, if applicable. We will pay interest from the day the
Guarantee Period expired until the date of withdrawal. The interest will be the
rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being offered. Amounts not withdrawn
will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous
Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous
Guarantee Period ends.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT. All withdrawals and transfers from a Guarantee Period,
other than those taken during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period
expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment
also may apply upon payment of a death benefit and when you apply amounts
currently invested in a
20 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
Guarantee Period to an Income Plan (unless paid or applied during the 30-day
period after such Guarantee Period expires). We also will not apply a Market
Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make:
- - within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described on page 23,
- - that qualify for one of the waivers as described on page 24,
- - to satisfy the IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract, or
- - a single withdrawal made by a surviving spouse made within one year after
continuing the Contract.
We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from
the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time you remove
it from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by
comparing the TREASURY RATE for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its
inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when
you remove your money. "Treasury Rate" means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant
Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in
interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in
interest rates. If interest rates increase significantly, the Market Value
Adjustment and any withdrawal charge, premium taxes, and income tax withholding
(if applicable) could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal from a
Guaranteed Period to an amount that is less than the purchase payment applied to
that period plus interest earned under the Contract.
Generally, if the original Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a
Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable current Treasury Rate for a
period equal to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will
result in a higher amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income
Plan. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a
Guarantee Period is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate for a period equal
to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a lower
amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income Plan.
For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and you select an initial
Guarantee Period of 5 years and the 5 year Treasury Rate for that duration is
4.50%. Assume that at the end of 3 years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at
that later time, the current 5 year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market
Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the
amount payable to you. Conversely, if the current 5 year Treasury Rate is 4.80%,
then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a
decrease in the amount payable to you.
The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B
to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application
of the Market Value Adjustment.
INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: TRANSFERS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the
investment alternatives. You may not transfer Contract Value to either the
Short-Term Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account or the Dollar Cost Averaging
Fixed Account Options. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we
provided or by telephone according to the procedure described below. The minimum
amount that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $50. We currently do not
assess, but reserve the right to assess, a $10 charge on each transfer in excess
of 12 per Contract Year. All transfers to or from more than one Portfolio on any
given day counts as one transfer.
We will process transfer requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time
on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for that Date. We will
process requests completed after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date
using the Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract
permits us to defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months from
the date we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers for 30 days
or more, we will pay interest as required by applicable law. Any interest would
be payable from the date we receive the transfer request to the date we make the
transfer.
If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day
period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the
amount by a Market Value Adjustment.
We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.
21 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE
During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts
so as to change the relative weighting of the Variable Sub-Accounts on which
your variable income payments will be based. In addition, you will have a
limited ability to make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the
proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments. You may
not, however, convert any portion of your right to receive fixed income payments
into variable income payments.
If you choose an Income Plan that depends on any person's life, you may not make
any transfers for the first 6 months after the Payout Start Date. Thereafter,
you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers from
the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the proportion of your income payments
consisting of fixed income payments. Your transfers must be at least 6 months
apart.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-755-5275. The cut off time
for telephone transfer requests is 3:00 p.m. Central time. In the event that the
New York Stock Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in
the event that the Exchange closes early for a period of time but then reopens
for trading on the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of
the close of the Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone
requests received at any telephone number other than the number that appears in
this paragraph or received after the close of trading on the Exchange.
We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege at any time
without notice.
We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the
telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations
with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying
information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from
allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take
reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may
be liable for such losses.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically transfer a
fixed dollar amount every month during the Accumulation Phase from the Short
Term Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account or the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed
Account, to any Variable Sub-Account. You may not use the Dollar Cost Averaging
Program to transfer amounts to the Guarantee Periods.
We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor
will such transfer count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract
Year without paying a transfer fee.
The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts
are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less
than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However,
participation in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your
purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in
a declining market. Call or write us for instructions on how to enroll.
AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM
Once you have allocated your money among the Variable Sub-Accounts, the
performance of each Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage you
allocated to each Sub-Account. If you select our Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing
Program, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each Variable
Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations. We will not
include money you allocate to the Fixed Account Options in the Automatic
Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
We will rebalance your account each quarter according to your instructions. We
will transfer amounts among the Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage
allocations you specify. You can change your allocations at any time by
contacting us in writing or by telephone. The new allocation will be effective
with the first rebalancing that occurs after we receive your request. We are not
responsible for rebalancing that occurs prior to receipt of your request.
Example:
Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among 2 Variable
Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable
Sub-Account and 60% to be in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account. Over
the next 2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market
performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Fidelity VIP High
Income Variable Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of
its increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings rebalanced
quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your
units in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable Sub-Account and use the money
to buy more units in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account so that the
percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60% respectively.
The Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program is available only during the
Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards
the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject
to a transfer fee. Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your
allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by
reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.

EXPENSES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
As a Contract owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and
expenses described below.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
During the Accumulation Phase, on each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a
$35 contract maintenance charge from your Contract Value invested in each
Variable Sub-Account in proportion to the amount invested. If you surrender your
Contract, we will deduct the contract maintenance charge pro rated for the part
of the Contract Year elapsed, unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver,
described below.
The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and
the Variable Account. Maintenance costs include expenses we incur collecting
purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals,
and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and
income payments; and issuing reports to Contract owners and regulatory agencies.
We cannot increase the charge. However, we will waive this charge if, as of the
Contract Anniversary or upon full surrender:
- - total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or
- - all money is allocated to the Fixed Account.
In addition, we will waive the Contract Maintenance Charge if total purchase
payments are $50,000 or more as of the Payout Start Date.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.05%
of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts
(1.27% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, and 1.49% if you select
the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider). The mortality and
expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your
Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for
certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that
the current charges will be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of
administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not
sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the
Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit
Combination Rider to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by
providing these options.
We guarantee that we will not raise the mortality and expense risk charge. We
assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase
and the Payout Phase.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
We deduct an administrative expense charge daily at an annual rate of 0.10% of
the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We
intend this charge to cover actual administrative expenses that exceed the
revenues from the contract maintenance charge. There is no necessary
relationship between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given
Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributed to that Contract. We
assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.
We guarantee that we will not raise this charge.
TRANSFER FEE
We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment
alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the
12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will not charge a transfer fee on
transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Portfolio
Rebalancing Program.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
We may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the purchase payment(s) you
withdraw. The charge declines to 0% over a 6 year period that begins on the day
we receive your payment. A schedule showing how the charge declines is shown on
page 7. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the aggregate
amount of your purchase payments without paying the charge. Unused portions of
this "Free Withdrawal Amount" are not carried forward to future Contract Years.
We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid.
For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as
coming from the oldest purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax
purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from
earnings, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal.
We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:
- - on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you terminate
income payments to be received for a specified period;
- - withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract;
or
- - withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers as described below.
23 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions
and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the
Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales
commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of
our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the
mortality and expense risk charge or any other charges or fee described above,
to make up any difference.
Withdrawals also may be subject to tax penalties or income tax and a Market
Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers
regarding any withdrawals.
CONFINEMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value
Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your
Contract if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. You or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, are
confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive
days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at
least 30 days after the Issue Date;
2. You request the withdrawal and provide written proof of the stay no later
than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant's stay at the long term
care facility or hospital; and
3. A physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically
necessary (as defined in the Contract).
You may not claim this benefit if you, the Annuitant, or a member of your or the
Annuitant's immediate family, is the physician prescribing your or the
Annuitant's stay in a long term care facility.
TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market
Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under
your Contract if:
1. you or the Annuitant (if the Contract owner is not a natural person) are
first diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 30 days after the Issue Date;
and
2. you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.
UNEMPLOYMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value
Adjustment on one partial or a full withdrawal taken prior to the Payout Start
Date under your Contract, if you meet the following requirements:
1. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, become
unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date;
2. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, receive
unemployment compensation as defined in the Contract for at least 30 days as a
result of that unemployment; and
3. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, claim
this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant's initial receipt of
unemployment compensation.
Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and
conditions of these waivers.
The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also
change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should
consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you
do not need to pay our withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment because of
these waivers, you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the
amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax adviser to determine the effect of
a withdrawal on your taxes.
PREMIUM TAXES
Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge
premium taxes or similar taxes. We are responsible for paying these taxes and
will deduct them from your Contract Value. Some of these taxes are due when the
Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender.
Our current practice is not to charge anyone for these taxes until income
payments begin or when a total withdrawal occurs, including payment upon death.
At our discretion, we may discontinue this practice and deduct premium taxes
from the purchase payments. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 4%,
depending on the state.
At the Payout Start Date, if applicable, we deduct the charge for premium taxes
from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract owner's
value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.
DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES
We are not currently maintaining a provision for taxes. In the future, however,
we may establish a provision for taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion,
that we will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Variable Account.
We will deduct for any taxes we incur as a result of the operation of the
Variable Account, whether or not we previously made a provision for taxes and
whether or not it was sufficient. Our status under the Internal Revenue Code is
briefly described in the Statement of Additional Information.
OTHER EXPENSES
Each Portfolio deducts advisory fees and other expenses from its assets. You
indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held
by the Variable Sub-
24 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the accompanying prospectuses
for the Funds. For a summary of current estimates of those charges and expenses,
see page 8. We may receive compensation from the investment advisers or
administrators of the Portfolios in connection with the administrative services
we provide to the Portfolios.
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the
Payout Start Date.
The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value (or portion thereof)
next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal at our home office,
adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less any withdrawal charges, contract
maintenance charges, income tax withholding, penalty tax, and any premium taxes.
We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account within 7 days of receipt of
the request, subject to postponement in certain circumstances.
You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options.
To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel
Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable
withdrawal charge and premium taxes.
You must name the investment alternative from which you are taking the
withdrawal. If none is named, then the withdrawal request is incomplete and
cannot be honored.
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. You also may withdraw a
lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in a Variable
Sub-Account.
If you request a total withdrawal, we may require you to return your Contract to
us.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under
the Contract if:
1. The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or
holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
2. An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or
3. The SEC permits delay for your protection.
In addition, we may delay payments or transfers from the Fixed Account Options
for up to 6 months (or shorter period if required by law). If we delay payment
for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start
Date. The minimum amount of each systematic withdrawal is $50. At our
discretion, systematic withdrawals may not be offered in conjunction with the
Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
Depending on fluctuations in the value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the
value of the Fixed Account Options, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even
exhaust the Contract Value. Income taxes may apply to systematic withdrawals.
Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.
We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. At
our discretion, we may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and
charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic
Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be
affected.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce your Contract Value to
less than $2,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract
Value. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value.
We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating
your Contract. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its
Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less
withdrawal and other charges and applicable taxes.
25 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
INCOME PAYMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYOUT START DATE
You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The Payout Start Date is
the day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must
be:
- - at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and
- - no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract
Anniversary, if later.
You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of
the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a
change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.
INCOME PLANS
An Income Plan is a series of scheduled payments to you or someone you
designate. You may choose and change your choice of Income Plan until 30 days
before the Payout Start Date. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make
income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with guaranteed payments for 10
years.
Three Income Plans are available under the Contract. Each is available to
provide:
- - fixed income payments;
- - variable income payments; or
- - a combination of the two.
The three Income Plans are:
INCOME PLAN 1 -- LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under this plan, we make
periodic income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the
Annuitant dies before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we
will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required
by the Contract.
INCOME PLAN 2 -- JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under
this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as either the
Annuitant or the joint Annuitant is alive. If both the Annuitant and the joint
Annuitant die before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will
continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by
the Contract.
INCOME PLAN 3 -- GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD (5 YEARS TO 30
YEARS). Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you
have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant's life. You may elect
to receive guaranteed payments for periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. Income
payments for less than 120 months may be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will
deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account
assets that support variable income payments even though we may not bear any
mortality risk.
The length of any guaranteed payment period under your selected Income Plan
generally will affect the dollar amounts of each income payment. As a general
rule, longer guarantee periods result in lower income payments, all other things
being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend
on the life of the Annuitant but with no minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments
made under the same Income Plan with a minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments.
If you choose Income Plan 1 or 2, or, if available, another Income Plan with
payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant, we may
require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting
income payments, and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant are alive
before we make each payment. Please note that under such Income Plans, if you
elect to take no minimum guaranteed payments, it is possible that the payee
could receive only 1 income payment if the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant
both die before the second income payment, or only 2 income payments if they die
before the third income payment, and so on.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals after the Payout Start Date. One
exception to this rule applies if you are receiving variable income payments
that do not depend on the life of the Annuitant (such as under Income Plan 3).
In that case you may terminate all or part of the Variable Account portion of
the income payments at any time and receive a lump sum equal to the present
value of the remaining variable payments associated with the amount withdrawn.
The minimum amount you may withdraw under this feature is $1,000. A withdrawal
charge may apply. We deduct applicable premium taxes from the Contract Value at
the Payout Start Date.
We may make other Income Plans available.
If you elected the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Option, you may
be able to apply an amount greater than your Contract Value to an Income Plan.
You must apply at least the Contract Value in the Fixed Account on the Payout
Start Date to fixed income payments. If you wish to apply any portion of your
Fixed Account balance to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead
and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start
Date. If you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and
variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable
Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the Fixed Account
to fixed income payments.
We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value
Adjustment, less applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date.
If the amount
26 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000, or not enough to
provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:
- - pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment
and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments
you have chosen; or
- - reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least
$20.
VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment results
of the Variable Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and
sex of the Annuitant, and the Income Plan you choose. We guarantee that the
payments will not be affected by (a) actual mortality experience and (b) the
amount of our administration expenses.
We cannot predict the total amount of your variable income payments. Your
variable income payments may be more or less than your total purchase payments
because (a) variable income payments vary with the investment results of the
underlying Portfolios; and (b) the Annuitant could live longer or shorter than
we expect based on the tables we use.
In calculating the amount of the periodic payments in the annuity tables in the
Contract, we assumed an annual investment rate of 3%. If the actual net
investment return of the Variable Sub-Accounts you choose is less than this
assumed investment rate, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments
will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase,
however, if the actual net investment return exceeds the assumed investment
rate. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net
investment return equals the assumed investment rate. Please refer to the
Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we
determine variable income payments.
FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS
We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for
the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:
1. adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on
the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;
2. deducting any applicable premium tax; and
3. applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value
from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are
offering at that time.
We may defer making fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or any
shorter time state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we
will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal
request to the date we make payment.
CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that
provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in
states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment
tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by
applicable law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required
by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if
the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement
or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you
should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is
appropriate.
DEATH BENEFITS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We will pay a death benefit prior to the Payout Start Date on:
1. the death of any Contract owner or,
2. the death of the Annuitant, if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person.
We will pay the death benefit to the new Contract owner as determined
immediately after the death. The new Contract owner would be a surviving
Contract owner or, if none, the Beneficiary(ies). In the case of the death of
the Annuitant, we will pay the death benefit to the current Contract owner.
A claim for a distribution on death must include DUE PROOF OF DEATH. We will
accept the following documentation as "Due Proof of Death":
- - a certified copy of a death certificate,
- - a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
finding of death, or
- - any other proof acceptable to us.
27 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT
Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
1. the Contract Value as of the date we determine the value of the death
benefit, or
2. the SETTLEMENT VALUE (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of
Contract Value) on the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or
3. the Contract Value on each DEATH BENEFIT ANNIVERSARY prior to the date we
determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that
Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial
withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary. A "Death Benefit Anniversary"
is every seventh Contract Anniversary beginning with the Issue Date. For
example, the Issue Date, 7th and 14th Contract Anniversaries are the first 3
Death Benefit Anniversaries.
The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result
multiplied by (c), where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = is the withdrawal amount;
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal; and
(c) = is the Contract value on the Death
Benefit Anniversary adjusted by any
prior purchase payments or withdrawals
made since that Anniversary.
</TABLE>
We will determine the value of the death benefits as of the end of the Valuation
Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit. If
we receive a request after 3 p.m. Central Time on a Valuation Date, we will
process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER
If the Contract owner is a living individual, the enhanced death benefit applies
only upon the death of the Contract owner. If the Contract owner is not a living
individual, the enhanced death benefit applies only upon the death of the
Annuitant. For Contracts with the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the death
benefit will be the greatest of (1) through (3) above, or (4) the enhanced death
benefit. The enhanced death benefit is equal to the greater of the Enhanced
Death Benefit A or Enhanced Death Benefit B. Enhanced Death Benefit B may not be
available in all states.
That enhanced death benefit will never be greater than the maximum death benefit
allowed by any state nonforfeiture laws that govern the Contract.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT A. At issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is equal to the
initial purchase payment. After issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is the greatest
of the ANNIVERSARY VALUES as of the date we determine the death benefit. The
"Anniversary Value" is equal to the Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary,
increased by purchase payments made since that Anniversary and reduced by an
adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Anniversary. The adjustment is
equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = is the withdrawal amount,
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal, and
(c) = is the Contract Value on that Contract
Anniversary adjusted by any prior
purchase payments and withdrawals
since that Contract Anniversary.
</TABLE>
We will calculate Anniversary Values for each Contract Anniversary prior to the
oldest Contract owner's or the Annuitant's, if the Contract owner is not a
natural person, 80th birthday.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT B. The Enhanced Death Benefit B is equal to total
purchase payments made reduced by a withdrawal adjustment, as defined below.
Each purchase payment and each withdrawal adjustment will accumulate daily at a
rate equivalent to 5% per year until the earlier of:
- - the date we determine the death benefit, or
- - the first day of the month following the oldest Contract owner's or, if the
Contract owner is not a natural person, the Annuitant's, 85th birthday.
The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c)
where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = the withdrawal amount,
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal, and
(c) = is the most recently calculated
enhanced death benefit.
</TABLE>
ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER
You may elect not to choose the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and may instead
choose the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider.
The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit
Combination Rider is as described above under "Enhanced Death Benefit Rider."
The enhanced income benefit defines a minimum amount applied to the Payout
Phase. This minimum amount is equal to the value the enhanced death benefit
would be on the Payout Start Date.
28 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract owner elects a Payout
Start Date that:
- - is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and
- - is prior to the Annuitant's 90th Birthday.
On the Payout Start Date, you may apply the greater of the Contract Value or the
enhanced income benefit to the Payout Phase of the Contract. No Market Value
Adjustment will be applied to the enhanced income benefit amount. The enhanced
income benefit will only apply if the Income Plan selected provides payments
guaranteed for either a single or joint lives with a period certain of at least:
- - 10 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is 80 or less on the date the amount
is applied; or
- - 5 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is greater than 80 on the date the
amount is applied.
If, however, you apply the Contract Value and not the enhanced income benefit to
the Income Plan, then you may select any Income Plan we offer at that time.
DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS
A death benefit will be paid:
1. if the Contract owner elects to receive the death benefit distributed in a
single payment within 180 days of the date of death, and
2. if the death benefit is paid as of the day the value of the death benefit is
determined. Otherwise, the Settlement Value will be paid. We are currently
waiving the 180 day limit, but we reserve the right to enforce the limitation in
the future.
In any event, the entire value of the Contract must be distributed within 5
years after the date of death unless an Income Plan is elected or a surviving
spouse continues the Contract in accordance with the provisions described below.
If the Contract owner eligible to receive the distribution upon death is not a
natural person, the Contract owner may elect to receive the distribution upon
death in one or more distributions.
If the Contract owner is a natural person, the Contract owner may elect to
receive the distribution upon death either in one or more distributions or by
periodic payments through an Income Plan. Payments from the Income Plan must
begin within one year of the date of death and must be payable throughout:
- - the life of the Contract owner; or
- - a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Contract owner; or
- - the life of the Contract owner with payments guaranteed to a period not to
exceed the life expectancy of the Contract owner.
If the surviving spouse of the deceased Contract owner is the new Contract
owner, then the spouse may elect one of the options listed above or may continue
the Contract in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. If the
Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the surviving spouse may make a
single withdrawal of any amount within 1 year of the date of death without
incurring a withdrawal charge or Market Value Adjustment.

Glenbrook is the issuer of the Contract. Glenbrook is a stock life insurance
company organized under the laws of the State of Arizona in 1998. Previously,
Glenbrook was organized under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1992.
Glenbrook was originally organized under the laws of the State of Indiana in
1965. From 1965 to 1983 Glenbrook was known as "United Standard Life Assurance
Company" and from 1983 to 1992 as "William Penn Life Assurance Company of
America."
Glenbrook is currently licensed to operate in the District of Columbia and all
states except New York. We intend to offer the Contract in those jurisdictions
in which we are licensed. Our home office is located at 3100 Sanders Road,
Northbrook, Illinois, 60062.
Glenbrook is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company
("ALLSTATE LIFE"), a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Illinois. Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate
Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company incorporated
under the laws of Illinois. All of the outstanding capital stock of Allstate
Insurance Company is owned by The Allstate Corporation.
Glenbrook and Allstate Life entered into a reinsurance agreement effective
June 5, 1992. Under the reinsurance agreement, Allstate Life reinsures
substantially all of Glenbrook's liabilities under its various insurance
contracts. The reinsurance agreement provides us with financial backing from
Allstate Life. However, it does not create a direct contractual relationship
between Allstate Life and you. In other words, the obligations of Allstate Life
under the reinsurance agreement are to Glenbrook; Glenbrook remains the sole
obligor under the Contract to you.
Several independent rating agencies regularly evaluate life insurers'
claims-paying ability, quality of investments, and overall stability. A.M. Best
Company assigns A+ (Superior) to Allstate Life which automatically reinsures all
net business of Glenbrook. A.M. Best Company also assigns Glenbrook the rating
of A+(r) because Glenbrook automatically reinsures all net business with
Allstate Life. Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services assigns an AA+ (Very
Strong) financial strength rating and Moody's assigns an Aa2 (Excellent)
financial strength rating to Glenbrook. Glenbrook shares the same ratings of its
parent, Allstate Life. These ratings do not reflect the investment performance
of the Variable Account. We may from time to time advertise these ratings in our

Glenbrook established the Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account on
January 15, 1996. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit
investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable
Account or Glenbrook.
We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated
asset account under Arizona law. That means we account for the Variable
Account's income, gains and losses separately from the results of our other
operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are
in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the
Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations.
Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of
Glenbrook.
The Variable Account consists of 62 Variable Sub-Accounts. Each Variable
Sub-Account invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable
Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or
investment conditions so warrant. We may also add other Variable Sub-Accounts
that may be available under other variable annuity contracts. We do not
guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts
or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity
contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded
by the Variable Account.
THE PORTFOLIOS
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. We automatically reinvest all
dividends and capital gains distributions from the Portfolios in shares of the
distributing Portfolio at their net asset value.
VOTING PRIVILEGES. As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote
the shares of the Portfolios held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have
allocated your Contract Value. Under current law, however, you are entitled to
give us instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. Based on
our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the Portfolios that we
hold directly or indirectly through the Variable Account in accordance with
instructions that we receive from Contract owners entitled to give such
instructions.
As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract owner or anyone
with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The
number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by
dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by
the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record
date of the meeting. After the Payout Start Date the person receiving income
payments has the voting interest. The payee's number of votes will be determined
by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Variable
Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. The
30 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract
decrease.
We will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which we have not received
instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we
vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we
may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to
abstain on any item to be voted upon on a pro-rata basis to reduce the votes
eligible to be cast.
We reserve the right to vote Portfolio shares as we see fit without regard to
voting instructions to the extent permitted by law. If we disregard voting
instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that
action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.
CHANGES IN PORTFOLIOS. If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer
available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further
investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the
Contract, we may eliminate that Portfolio and substitute shares of another
eligible investment fund. Any substitution of securities will comply with the
requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new Variable
Sub-Accounts that invest in additional mutual funds. We will notify you in
advance of any change.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Certain of the Portfolios sell their shares to separate
accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life
insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in
the same Portfolio. The boards of directors of these Portfolios monitor for
possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Portfolios.
Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in
treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to
comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, a
Portfolio's board of directors may require a separate account to withdraw its
participation in a Portfolio. A Portfolio's net asset value could decrease if it
had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate
account withdrawing because of a conflict.
THE CONTRACT
DISTRIBUTION. ALFS, Inc.* ("ALFS"), located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL
60062-7154, serves as principal underwriter of the Contracts. ALFS is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Allstate Life. ALFS is a registered broker dealer under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("EXCHANGE ACT"), and is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
We will pay commissions to broker-dealers who sell the contracts. Commissions
paid may vary, but we estimate that the total commissions paid on all Contract
sales will not exceed 8% of all purchase payments. These commissions are
intended to cover distribution expenses. Sometimes, we also pay the
broker-dealer a persistency bonus in addition to the standard commissions. A
persistency bonus is not expected to exceed 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the
Contract Values considered in connection with the bonus. In some states,
Contracts may be sold by representatives or employees of banks which may be
acting as broker-dealers without separate registration under the Exchange Act,
pursuant to legal and regulatory exceptions.
Glenbrook does not pay ALFS a commission for distribution of the Contracts. The
underwriting agreement with ALFS provides that we will reimburse ALFS for any
liability to Contract owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts
issued.
ADMINISTRATION. We have primary responsibility for all administration of the
Contracts and the Variable Account. We provide the following administrative
services, among others:
- - issuance of the Contracts;
- - maintenance of Contract owner records;
- - Contract owner services;
- - calculation of unit values;
- - maintenance of the Variable Account; and
- - preparation of Contract owner reports.
We will send you Contract statements and transaction confirmations at least
annually. You should notify us promptly in writing of any address change. You
should read your statements and confirmations carefully and verify their
accuracy. You should contact us promptly if you have a question about a periodic
statement. We will investigate all complaints and make any necessary adjustments
retroactively, but you must notify us of a potential error within a reasonable
time after the date of the questioned statement. If you wait too long, we
reserve the right to make the adjustment as of the date that we receive notice
of the potential error.
We also will provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information
and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.

QUALIFIED PLANS
If you use the Contract within a qualified plan, the plan may impose different
or additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waivers of withdrawal
charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract
features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if qualified plan
limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your
qualified plan administrator for more information.
LEGAL MATTERS
Freedman, Levy, Kroll & Simonds, Washington, D.C., has advised Glenbrook on
certain federal securities law matters. All matters of state insurance law
pertaining to the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and
Glenbrook's right to issue such Contracts under state insurance law, have been
passed upon by Michael J. Velotta, General Counsel of Glenbrook.
YEAR 2000
Glenbrook is heavily dependent upon complex computer systems for all phases of
its operations, including customer service, and policy and contract
administration. Since many of Glenbrook's older computer software programs
recognize only the last two digits of the year in any date, some software may
have failed to operate properly in or after the year 1999, if the software was
not reprogrammed or replaced ("YEAR 2000 ISSUE"). Glenbrook believes that many
of its counterparties and suppliers also had potential Year 2000 Issues which
could affect Glenbrook. In 1995, Allstate Insurance Company commenced a four
phase plan intended to mitigate and/or prevent the adverse effects of Year 2000
Issues. These strategies included normal development and enhancement of new and
existing systems, upgrades to operating systems already covered by maintenance
agreements, and modifications to existing systems to make them Year 2000
compliant. The plan also included Glenbrook actively working with its major
external counterparties and suppliers to assess their compliance efforts and
Glenbrook's exposure to them. Because of the accuracy of this plan, and its
timely completion, Glenbrook has experienced no material impacts on its results
of operations, liquidity or financial position due to the Year 2000 issue. Year
2000 costs are expensed as incurred.
TAXES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. GLENBROOK
MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION
INVOLVING A CONTRACT.
Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of
distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances.
If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard to your individual
circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
TAX DEFERRAL. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value
until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:
1. the Contract owner is a natural person,
2. the investments of the Variable Account are "adequately diversified"
according to Treasury Department regulations, and
3. Glenbrook is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal
income tax purposes.
NON-NATURAL OWNERS. As a general rule, annuity contracts owned by non-natural
persons such as corporations, trusts, or other entities are not treated as
annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. The income on such contracts
is taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the owner during the taxable
year. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of
several exceptions to the general rule for Contracts owned by non-natural
persons.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for
federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Variable Account must be
"adequately diversified" consistent with standards under Treasury Department
regulations. If the investments in the Variable Account are not adequately
diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal
income tax purposes. As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as
ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable
year. Although Glenbrook does not have control over the Portfolios or their
investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.
OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. The IRS has stated that you will be considered the owner of
Variable Account assets if you possess incidents of ownership in those assets,
such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time
the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced
that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which
investor control of separate account investments may cause an investor to be
32 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also
stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners
could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the
underlying assets of the separate account.
Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in
rulings in which it found that contract owners were not owners of separate
account assets. For example, you have the choice to allocate premiums and
Contract Values among more investment alternatives. Also, you may be able to
transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings.
These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable
Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Variable Account assets would
be includible in your gross income. Glenbrook does not know what standards will
be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may
issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department
could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right
to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being
considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However,
we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.
TAXATION OF PARTIAL AND FULL WITHDRAWALS. If you make a partial withdrawal under
a non-Qualified Contract, amounts received are taxable to the extent the
Contract Value, without regard to surrender charges, exceeds the investment in
the Contract. The investment in the Contract is the gross premium paid for the
Contract minus any amounts previously received from the Contract if such amounts
were properly excluded from your gross income. If you make a partial withdrawal
under a Qualified Contract, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio
to the total payment that the investment in the Contract (i.e., nondeductible
IRA contributions, after tax contributions to qualified plans) bears to the
Contract Value, is excluded from your income. If you make a full withdrawal
under a non-Qualified Contract or a Qualified Contract, the amount received will
be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the investment in the Contract.
"Nonqualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are treated as made from
contributions first and are included in gross income only to the extent that
distributions exceed contributions. "Qualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are
not included in gross income. "Qualified distributions" are any distributions
made more than 5 taxable years after the taxable year of the first contribution
to any Roth IRA and which are:
- - made on or after the date the individual attains age 59 1/2,
- - made to a beneficiary after the Contract owner's death,
- - attributable to the Contract owner being disabled, or
- - for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a
lifetime limit of $10,000).
If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration
to a person other than your spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a
divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the
investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Except for certain Qualified
Contracts, any amount you receive as a loan under a Contract, and any assignment
or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is treated as
a withdrawal of such amount or portion.
TAXATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS. Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity
payments received from a non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your
investment in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period.
The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the
amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the
ratio of the investment in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or
period certain) to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of
the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from
taxable income is determined by dividing the investment in the Contract by the
total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable
after the total amount of the investment in the Contract is excluded using these
ratios. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the
investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount will be allowed
as a deduction for your last taxable year.
TAXATION OF ANNUITY DEATH BENEFITS. Death of a Contract owner, or death of the
Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person, will cause a
distribution of death benefits from a Contract. Generally, such amounts are
included in income as follows:
1. if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a
full withdrawal, or
2. if distributed under an annuity option, the amounts are taxed in the same
manner as an annuity payment. Please see the Statement of Additional Information
for more detail on distribution at death requirements.
PENALTY TAX ON PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable
amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract. The penalty
tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age
59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
1. made on or after the date the Contract owner attains age 59 1/2;
2. made as a result of the Contract owner's death or disability;
33 - PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
3. made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract owner's life
or life expectancy,
4. made under an immediate annuity, or
5. attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.
You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine if any other exceptions
to the penalty apply to your situation. Similar exceptions may apply to
distributions from Qualified Contracts.
AGGREGATION OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS. All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts
issued by Glenbrook (or its affiliates) to the same Contract owner during any
calendar year will be aggregated and treated as one annuity contract for
purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.
TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Contracts may be used as investments with certain qualified plans such as:
- - Individual Retirement Annuities or Accounts (IRAs) under Section 408 of the
Code;
- - Roth IRAs under Section 408A of the Code;
- - Simplified Employee Pension Plans under Section 408(k) of the Code;
- - Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE) Plans under Section
408(p) of the Code;
- - Tax Sheltered Annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code;
- - Corporate and Self Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans; and
- - State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation
Plans.
The income on qualified plan and IRA investments is tax deferred and variable
annuities held by such plans do not receive any additional tax deferral. You
should review the annuity features, including all benefits and expenses, prior
to purchasing a variable annuity in a qualified plan or IRA. Glenbrook reserves
the right to limit the availablity of the Contract for use with any of the
Qualified Plans listed below.
In the case of certain qualified plans, the terms of the plans may govern the
right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
RESTRICTIONS UNDER SECTION 403(B) PLANS. Section 403(b) of the Tax Code provides
tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and
educational organizations. Under Section 403(b), any Contract used for a 403(b)
plan must provide that distributions attributable to salary reduction
contributions made after December 31, 1998, and all earnings on salary reduction
contributions, may be made only:
1. on or after the date the employee
- - attains age 59 1/2,
- - separates from service,
- - dies,
- - becomes disabled, or
2. on account of hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be
distributed on the account of hardship).
These limitations do not apply to withdrawals where Glenbrook is directed to
transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Glenbrook is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 20% on all
"eligible rollover distributions" unless you elect to make a "direct rollover"
of such amounts to an IRA or eligible retirement plan. Eligible rollover
distributions generally include all distributions from Qualified Contracts,
excluding IRAs, with the exception of:
1. required minimum distributions, or
2. a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at
least 10 years, or over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and
beneficiary).
Glenbrook may be required to withhold federal and state income taxes on any
distributions from non-Qualified Contracts or Qualified Contracts that are not
eligible rollover distributions, unless you notify us of your election to not
have taxes withheld.

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We may advertise the performance of the Variable Sub-Accounts, including yield
and total return information. Total return represents the change, over a
specified period of time, in the value of an investment in a Variable
Sub-Account after reinvesting all income distributions. Yield refers to the
income generated by an investment in a Variable Sub-Account over a specified
period.
All performance advertisements will include, as applicable, standardized yield
and total return figures that reflect the deduction of insurance charges, the
contract maintenance charge, and withdrawal charge. Performance advertisements
also may include total return figures that reflect the deduction of insurance
charges, but not the contract maintenance or withdrawal charges. The deduction
of such charges would reduce the performance shown. In addition, performance
advertisements may include aggregate average, year-by-year, or other types of
total return figures.
Performance information for periods prior to the inception date of the Variable
Sub-Accounts will be based on the historical performance of the corresponding
Portfolios for the periods beginning with the inception dates of the Portfolios
and adjusted to reflect current Contract expenses. You should not interpret
these figures to reflect actual historical performance of the Variable Account.
We may include in advertising and sales materials tax deferred compounding
charts and other hypothetical illustrations that compare currently taxable and
tax deferred investment programs based on selected tax brackets. Our
advertisements also may compare the performance of our Variable Sub-Accounts
with: (a) certain unmanaged market indices, including but not limited to the Dow
Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500, and the Shearson Lehman
Bond Index; and/or (b) other management investment companies with investment
objectives similar to the underlying funds being compared. In addition, our
advertisements may include the performance ranking assigned by various
publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Money,
Barron's, Business Week, USA Today, and statistical services, including Lipper
Analytical Services Mutual Fund Survey, Lipper Annuity and Closed End Survey,
the Variable Annuity Research Data Survey, and SEI.

APPENDIX B
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Market Value Adjustment is based on the following:
I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week
preceding the establishment of the Guarantee Period.
N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive the
withdrawal, transfer, or death benefit request, or from the Payout Start Date to
the end of the Guarantee Period.
J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week
preceding the receipt of the withdrawal, transfer, death benefit, or income
payment request. If a Note with a maturity of the original Guarantee Period is
not available, we will use a weighted average.
Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported
in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:
.9 X (I - J) X N
To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value
Adjustment factor by the amount transferred, withdrawn (in excess of the Free
Withdrawal Amount), paid as a death benefit, or applied to an Income Plan from a
Guarantee Period at any time other than during the 30 day period after such
Guarantee Period expires.

Purchase Payment: $10,000 allocated to a Guarantee Period
Guarantee Period: 5 years
Interest Rate: 4.50%
Full Withdrawal: End of Contract Year 3
</TABLE>
NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.
EXAMPLE 1: (ASSUMES DECLINING INTEREST RATES)
Step 1: Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
= 10,000.00 X (1.045)TO THE POWER OF 3 = $11,411.66
Step 2: Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:
= .15 X (10,000.00) = $1,500.00
Step 3: Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
= .05 X (10,000 - 1,500) = $425.00
Step 4: Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:
I = 4.50%
J = 4.20%
730 DAYS
N = -------- = 2
365 DAYS
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR: .9 X (I - J) X N
= .9 X (.045 - .042) X 2 = .0054
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT = MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR X AMOUNT SUBJECT TO
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT:
= .0054 X (11,411.66 - 1,500) = $53.52
Step 5: Calculate the amount received by Contract owner as a result of
full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
= 11,411.66 - 425.00 + 53.52 = $11,040.18
EXAMPLE 2: (ASSUMES RISING INTEREST RATES)
Step 1: Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
= 10,000.00 X (1.045)TO THE POWER OF 3 = $11,411.66
Step 2: Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:
= .15 X (10,000.00) = $1,500.00
Step 3: Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
= .05 X (10,000.00 - 1,500.00) = $425.00
Step 4: Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:
I = 4.50%
J = 4.80%
N = 730 DAYS = 2
--------
365 DAYS
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR: .9 X (I - J) X N
= .9 X (.045 - .048) X (2) = -.0054
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT = MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR X AMOUNT SUBJECT TO
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT:
= -.0054 X (11,411.66 - 1,500) = -$53.52
Step 5: Calculate the amount received by Contract owner as a result of
full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
= 11,411.66 - 425.00 - 53.52 = $10,933.14

INCOME PAYMENTS You can choose fixed income payments, variable income
payments, or a combination of the two. You can receive your
income payments in one of the following ways:
- life income with guaranteed payments
- a "joint and survivor" life income with guaranteed
payments
- guaranteed payments for a specified period (5 to 30
years)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEATH BENEFITS If you or the ANNUITANT (if the Contract is owned by a
non-natural person) die before the PAYOUT START DATE, we
will pay the death benefit described in the Contract. We
offer an Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and an Enhanced Death
and Income Benefit Combination Rider.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS Before the Payout Start Date, you may transfer your Contract
value ("CONTRACT VALUE") among the investment alternatives,
with certain restrictions. Transfers to a GUARANTEE PERIOD
of the Fixed Account must be at least $50.
We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers. However, we
reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the 12th
transfer in each "Contract Year", which we measure from the
date we issue your Contract or a Contract anniversary
("CONTRACT ANNIVERSARY").
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WITHDRAWALS You may withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at
anytime prior to the Payout Start Date. In general, you must
withdraw at least $50 at a time. Full or partial withdrawals
are available under limited circumstances on or after the
Payout Start Date. A 10% federal tax penalty may apply if
you withdraw before you are 59 1/2 years old. A withdrawal
charge and MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT also may apply.

HOW THE CONTRACT WORKS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
The Contract basically works in two ways.
First, the Contract can help you (we assume you are the CONTRACT OWNER) save for
retirement because you can invest in up to 35 investment alternatives and pay no
federal income taxes on any earnings until you withdraw them. You do this during
what we call the "ACCUMULATION PHASE" of the Contract. The Accumulation Phase
begins on the date we issue your Contract (we call that date the "ISSUE DATE")
and continues until the Payout Start Date, which is the date we apply your money
to provide income payments. During the Accumulation Phase, you may allocate your
purchase payments to any combination of the Variable Sub-Accounts and/or Fixed
Account Options. If you invest in any of the three Fixed Account Options, you
will earn a fixed rate of interest that we declare periodically. If you invest
in any of the Variable Sub-Accounts, your investment return will vary up or down
depending on the performance of the corresponding Portfolios.
Second, the Contract can help you plan for retirement because you can use it to
receive retirement income for life and/or for a pre-set number of years, by
selecting one of the income payment options (we call these "INCOME PLANS")
described on page 25. You receive income payments during what we call the
"PAYOUT PHASE" of the Contract, which begins on the Payout Start Date and
continues until we make the last payment required by the Income Plan you select.
During the Payout Phase, if you select a fixed income payment option, we
guarantee the amount of your payments, which will remain fixed. If you select a
variable income payment option, based on one or more of the Variable
Sub-Accounts, the amount of your payments will vary up or down depending on the
performance of the corresponding Portfolios. The amount of money you accumulate
under your Contract during the Accumulation Phase and apply to an Income Plan
will determine the amount of your income payments during the Payout Phase.
The timeline below illustrates how you might use your Contract.

As the Contract owner, you exercise all of the rights and privileges provided by
the Contract. If you die, any surviving Contract owner or, if none, the
BENEFICIARY will exercise the rights and privileges provided by the Contract.
SEE"The Contract." In addition, if you die before the Payout Start Date, we will
pay a death benefit to any surviving Contract owner, or if there is none, to
your Beneficiary. SEE "Death Benefits."

(2) Initial Class.
(3) A portion of the brokerage commissions that certain funds pay was used to
reduce fund expenses. In addition, through arrangements with certain funds',
or Fidelity Management & Research Company ("FMR") on behalf of certain
funds' custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances
were used to reduce a portion of each applicable fund's expenses. With these
reductions, the total "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" presented in the
table would have been 0.65% for Contrafund-Registered Trademark- Portfolio,
0.56% for Equity-Income Portfolio, 0.66% for Growth Portfolio, and 0.87% for
Overseas Portfolio.
(4) FMR agreed to reimburse a portion of the Index 500 Portfolio's expenses
during the period. Without this reimbursement, the Portfolio's "Management
Fee," "Rule 12b-1 Fee," "Other Expenses," and "Total Portfolio Annual
Expense" would have been: 0.24%, N/A, 0.10%, and 0.34% respectively.
(5) Each series has an expense offset arrangement which reduces the series'
custodian fee based upon the amount of cash maintained by the series with
its custodian and dividend disbursing agent. Each series may enter into
other such arrangements and directed brokerage arrangements, which would
also have the effect of reducing the series' expenses. "Other Expenses" do
not take into account these expense reductions, and are therefore higher
than the actual expenses of the series. Had these fee reductions been taken
into account, "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses" would be lower for certain
series and would equal: 0.83% for Emerging Growth Series, 0.87% for Growth
with Income Series, and 0.85% for Research Series.
(6) "Other Expenses" are based on estimated amounts for the current year.
(7) On February 8, 2000, a merger and reorganization was approved that combined
the fund with a similar fund of Templeton Variable Products Series Fund,
effective May 1, 2000. The table shows total expenses based on the fund's
assets as of December 31, 1999, and not the assets of the combined fund.
However, if the table reflected combined assets, the fund's expenses after
May 1, 2000 would be estimated as: "Management Fees" 0.60%, "Rule 12b-1
Fees" 0.25%, "Other Expenses" 0.04%, and "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses"
0.89%.
(8) On February 8, 2000, a merger and reorganization was approved that combined

However, if the table reflected combined assets, the fund's expenses after

Fees" 0.25%, "Other Expenses" 0.05%, and "Total Portfolio Annual Expenses"
1.10%.
(9) The fund administration fee is paid indirectly through the management fee.
(10) The funds' class 2 distribution plan or "Rule 12b-1 plan" is described in
the fund's prospectus.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
To measure the value of your investment in the Variable Sub-Accounts during the
Accumulation Phase, we use a unit of measure we call the "ACCUMULATION UNIT."
Each Variable Sub-Account has a separate value for its Accumulation Units we
call "ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE". Accumulation Unit Value is analogous to, but not
the same as, the share price of a mutual fund.
Attached as Appendix A to this prospectus are tables showing the Accumulation
Unit Values of each Variable Sub-Account since the date the Contracts were first
offered. No Accumulation Unit Values are shown for the following Variable
Sub-Accounts that had not commenced operations as of December 31, 1999: Fidelity
VIP Index 500, Fidelity VIP Overseas, Oppenheimer Multiple Strategies, STI
Growth and Income, STI International Equity, STI Investment Grade Bond, STI
Mid-Cap Equity, STI Quality Growth Stock, STI Small Cap Value Equity, Templeton
Global Income Securities (Class 2), Templeton Growth Securities (Class 2). To
obtain a fuller picture of each Variable Sub-Account's finances, please refer to
the Variable Account's financial statements contained in the Statement of
Additional Information. The financial statements of Glenbrook and the Variable
Account appear in the Statement of Additional Information.

THE CONTRACT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
CONTRACT OWNER
The Glenbrook Provider Variable Annuity is a contract between you, the Contract
owner, and Glenbrook, a life insurance company. As the Contract owner, you may
exercise all of the rights and privileges provided to you by the Contract. That
means it is up to you to select or change (to the extent permitted):
- - the investment alternatives during the Accumulation and Payout Phases,
- - the amount and timing of your purchase payments and withdrawals,
- - the programs you want to use to invest or withdraw money,
- - the income payment plan you want to use to receive retirement income,
- - the Annuitant (either yourself or someone else) on whose life the income
payments will be based,
- - the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who will receive the benefits that the
Contract provides when the last surviving Contract owner dies, and
- - any other rights that the Contract provides.
If you die, any surviving Contract owner, or, if none, the Beneficiary may
exercise the rights and privileges provided to them by the Contract.
The Contract cannot be jointly owned by both a non-natural person and a natural
person.
You can use the Contract with or without a qualified plan. A qualified plan is a
personal retirement savings plan, such as an IRA or tax-sheltered annuity, that
meets the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Qualified plans may limit
or modify your rights and privileges under the Contract. We use the term
"Qualified Contract" to refer to a Contract issued within a qualified plan. See
"Qualified Plans" on page 30.
ANNUITANT
The Annuitant is the individual whose life determines the amount and duration of
income payments (other than under Income Plans with guaranteed payments for a
specified period). You initially designate an Annuitant in your application. You
may change the Annuitant at any time prior to the Payout Start Date (only if the
Contract owner is a natural person). You may designate a joint Annuitant, who is
a second person on whose life income payments depend. We permit joint Annuitants
only on or after the Payout Start Date. If the Annuitant dies prior to the
Payout Start Date, the new Annuitant will be:
(i) the youngest Contract owner; otherwise,
(ii) the youngest Beneficiary.
BENEFICIARY
The Beneficiary is the person who may elect to receive the death benefit or
become the new Contract owner if the sole surviving Contract owner dies before
the Payout Start Date. If the sole surviving Contract owner dies after the
Payout Start Date, the Beneficiary will receive any guaranteed income payments
scheduled to continue.
You may name one or more Beneficiaries when you apply for a Contract. You may
change or add Beneficiaries at any time, unless you have designated an
irrevocable Beneficiary. We will provide a change of Beneficiary form to be
signed and filed with us. Any change will be effective at the time you sign the
written notice. Until we receive your written notice to change a Beneficiary, we
are entitled to rely on the most recent Beneficiary information in our files. We
will not be liable as to any payment or settlement made prior to receiving the
written notice. Accordingly, if you wish to change your Beneficiary, you should
deliver your written notice to us promptly.
If you did not name a Beneficiary or, unless otherwise provided in the
Beneficiary designation, if a named Beneficiary is no longer living and there
are no other surviving Beneficiaries, the new Beneficiary will be:
- - your spouse or, if he or she is no longer alive,
- - your surviving children equally, or if you have no surviving children,
- - your estate.
If more than one Beneficiary survives you (or survives the Annuitant, if the
Contract owner is not a natural person) we will divide the death benefit among
your Beneficiaries according to your most recent written instructions. If you
have not given us written instructions, we will pay the death benefit in equal
amounts to the surviving Beneficiaries.
MODIFICATION OF THE CONTRACT
Only a Glenbrook officer may approve a change in or waive any provision of the
Contract. Any change or waiver must be in writing. None of our agents has the
authority to change or waive the provisions of the Contract. We may not change
the terms of the Contract without your consent, except to conform the Contract
to applicable law or changes in the law. If a provision of the Contract is
inconsistent with state law, we will follow state law.
ASSIGNMENT
We will not honor an assignment of an interest in a Contract as collateral or
security for a loan. However, you may assign periodic income payments under the
Contract prior to the Payout Start Date. No Beneficiary may assign benefits
under the Contract until they are payable to the Beneficiary. We will not be
bound by any assignment until the assignor signs
13 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
it and files it with us. We are not responsible for the validity of any
assignment. Federal law prohibits or restricts the assignment of benefits under
many types of retirement plans and the terms of such plans may themselves
contain restrictions on assignments. An assignment may also result in taxes or
tax penalties. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY BEFORE TRYING TO ASSIGN YOUR
CONTRACT.
PURCHASES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
MINIMUM PURCHASE PAYMENTS
Your initial purchase payment must be at least $3,000 ($2,000 for a Qualified
Contract). All subsequent purchase payments must be $50 or more. You may make
purchase payments at any time prior to the Payout Start Date. We reserve the
right to limit the maximum amount of purchase payments we will accept.
AUTOMATIC ADDITIONS PROGRAM
You may make subsequent purchase payments by automatically transferring money
from your bank account. Consult your representative for more detailed
information.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PAYMENTS
At the time you apply for a Contract, you must decide how to allocate your
purchase payments among the investment alternatives. The allocation you specify
on your application will be effective immediately. All allocations must be in
whole percents that total 100% or in whole dollars. You can change your
allocations by notifying us in writing.
We will allocate your purchase payments to the investment alternatives according
to your most recent instructions on file with us. Unless you notify us in
writing otherwise, we will allocate subsequent purchase payments according to
the allocation for the previous purchase payment. We will effect any change in
allocation instructions at the time we receive written notice of the change in
good order.
We will credit the initial purchase payment that accompanies your completed
application to your Contract within 2 business days after we receive the payment
at our home office. If your application is incomplete, we will ask you to
complete your application within 5 business days. If you do so, we will credit
your initial purchase payment to your Contract within that 5 business day
period. If you do not, we will return your purchase payment at the end of the 5
business day period unless you expressly allow us to hold it until you complete
the application. We will credit subsequent purchase payments to the Contract at
the close of the business day on which we receive the purchase payment at our
home office.
We are open for business each day Monday through Friday that the New York Stock
Exchange is open for business. We also refer to these days as "VALUATION DATES."
Our business day closes when the New York Stock Exchange closes, usually 4 p.m.
Eastern Time (3 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your purchase payment after
3 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date, we will credit your purchase payment
using the Accumulation Unit Values computed on the next Valuation Date.
RIGHT TO CANCEL
You may cancel the Contract by returning it to us within the Cancellation
Period, which is the 20 day period after you receive the Contract, or a longer
period should your state require it. You may return it by delivering it or
mailing it to us. If you exercise this "RIGHT TO CANCEL," the Contract
terminates and we will pay you the full amount of your purchase payments
allocated to the Fixed Account. We also will return your purchase payments
allocated to the Variable Account adjusted, to the extent federal or state law
permits, to reflect investment gain or loss that occurred from the date of
allocation through the date of cancellation. Some states may require us to
return a greater amount to you.
In states where we are required to refund purchase payments, we reserve the
right during the Cancellation Period to invest any purchase payments you
allocated to a Variable Sub-Account to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account
available under the Contract. We will notify you if we do so. At the end of the
Cancellation Period, you may then allocate your money to other Variable
Sub-Accounts.
14 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
CONTRACT VALUE
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
Your Contract Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase is equal to the
sum of the value of your Accumulation Units in the Variable Sub-Accounts you
have selected, plus the value of your investment in the Fixed Account Options.
ACCUMULATION UNITS
To determine the number of Accumulation Units of each Variable Sub-Account to
credit to your Contract, we divide (i) the amount of the purchase or transfer
payment you have allocated to a Variable Sub-Account by (ii) the Accumulation
Unit Value of that Variable Sub-Account next computed after we receive your
payment or transfer. For example, if we receive a $10,000 purchase payment
allocated to a Variable Sub-Account when the Accumulation Unit Value for the
Sub-Account is $10, we would credit 1,000 Accumulation Units of that Variable
Sub-Account to your Contract. Withdrawals and transfers from a Variable
Sub-Account would, of course, reduce the number of Accumulation Units of that
Sub-Account allocated to your Contract.
ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE
As a general matter, the Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account
will rise or fall to reflect:
- - changes in the share price of the Portfolio in which the Variable Sub-Account
invests, and
- - the deduction of amounts reflecting the mortality and expense risk charge,
administrative expense charge, and any provision for taxes that have accrued
since we last calculated the Accumulation Unit Value.
We determine contract maintenance charges, withdrawal charges, and transfer fees
(currently waived) separately for each Contract. They do not affect Accumulation
Unit Value. Instead, we obtain payment of those charges and fees by redeeming
Accumulation Units. For details on how we calculate Accumulation Unit Value,
please refer to the Statement of Additional Information.
We determine a separate Accumulation Unit Value for each Variable Sub-Account on
each Valuation Date. We also determine a separate set of Accumulation Unit
Values reflecting the cost of the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced
Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider described on pages 27-28.
YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE PROSPECTUSES FOR THE FUNDS THAT ACCOMPANY THIS
PROSPECTUS FOR A DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE ASSETS OF EACH PORTFOLIO ARE VALUED,
SINCE THAT DETERMINATION DIRECTLY BEARS ON THE ACCUMULATION UNIT VALUE OF THE
CORRESPONDING VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNT AND, THEREFORE, YOUR CONTRACT VALUE.

INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE VARIABLE SUB-ACCOUNTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate your purchase payments to up to 32 Variable Sub-Accounts. Each
Variable Sub-Account invests in the shares of a corresponding Portfolio. Each
Portfolio has its own investment objective(s) and policies. We briefly describe
the Portfolios below.
For more complete information about each Portfolio, including expenses and risks
associated with the Portfolio, please refer to the accompanying prospectuses for
the Funds. You should carefully review the Fund prospectuses before allocating
amounts to the Variable Sub-Accounts.

<PAGE>
INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: THE FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You may allocate all or a portion of your purchase payments to the Fixed
Account. You may choose from among 3 Fixed Account Options including 2 dollar
cost averaging options and the option to invest in one or more Guarantee Periods
included in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account. The Fixed Account Options may
not be available in all states. Please consult with your representative for
current information. The Fixed Account supports our insurance and annuity
obligations. The Fixed Account consists of our general assets other than those
in segregated asset accounts. We have sole discretion to invest the assets of
the Fixed Account, subject to applicable law. Any money you allocate to a Fixed
Account Option does not entitle you to share in the investment experience of the
Fixed Account.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTIONS
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. Purchase payments that you allocate
to the DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION ("DCA FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION")
will earn interest for a one year period at the current rate in effect at the
time of allocation. We will credit interest daily at a rate that will compound
over the year to the annual interest rate we guaranteed at the time of
allocation. After the one year period, we will declare a renewal rate which we
guarantee for a full year. Subsequent renewal dates will be every twelve months
for each payment or transfer.
We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the DCA
Fixed Account Option. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more than 36
monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment and all
its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within 36
months of payment. At the end of 36 months, we will transfer the remaining
payment and associated earnings to the Money Market Variable Sub-Account. No
transfers are permitted into the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account.
SHORT TERM DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION. You may establish a Short
Term Dollar Cost Averaging Program by allocating purchase payments to the SHORT
TERM DOLLAR COST AVERAGING FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION ("SHORT TERM DCA FIXED ACCOUNT
OPTION"). We will credit interest to purchase payments you allocate to this
Option for up to one year at the current rate in effect at the time of
allocation.
We will follow your instructions in transferring amounts monthly from the Short
Term DCA Fixed Account Option. However, you may not choose less than 3 or more
than 12 monthly installments. Further, you must transfer each purchase payment
and all its earnings out of this Option by means of dollar cost averaging within
12 months. If you discontinue the Dollar Cost Averaging Program before the end
of the transfer period, we will transfer the remaining balance in this Option to
the Money Market Variable Sub-Account unless you request a different investment
alternative. No transfers are permitted into the Short Term Dollar Cost
Averaging Fixed Account.
We bear the investment risk for all amounts allocated to the DCA Fixed Account
Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed Account Option. That is because we guarantee
the current and renewal interest rates we credit to the amounts you allocate to
either of these Options, which will never be less than the minimum guaranteed
rate in the Contract. Currently, we determine, in our sole discretion, the
amount of interest credited in excess of the guaranteed rate.
We may declare more than one interest rate for different monies based upon the
date of allocation to the DCA Fixed Account Option and the Short Term DCA Fixed
Account Option. For current interest rate information, please contact your
representative or our customer support unit at 1-800-755-5275.
GUARANTEE PERIODS
Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period earns interest at a
specified rate that we guarantee for a period of years. Guarantee Periods may
range from 1 to 10 years. We are currently offering Guarantee Periods of 1, 3,
5, 7, and 10 years in length. In the future we may offer Guarantee Periods of
different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods.
You select the Guarantee Period for each payment or transfer. If you do not
select a Guarantee Period, we will assign the same period(s) you selected for
your most recent purchase payment(s).
Each payment or transfer allocated to a Guarantee Period must be at least $50.
We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that
you may allocate to this Option.
INTEREST RATES. We will tell you what interest rates and Guarantee Periods we
are offering at a particular time. We will not change the interest rate that we
credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee
Period. We may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the
same length that begin at different times.
We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest that we will
declare initially or in the future. We will set those interest rates based on
investment returns available at the time of the determination. In addition, we
may consider various other factors in determining interest rates including
regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative
expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. WE DETERMINE THE
INTEREST RATES TO BE DECLARED IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. WE CAN NEITHER
18 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
PREDICT NOR GUARANTEE WHAT THOSE RATES WILL BE IN THE FUTURE. For current
interest rate information, please contact your representative or Glenbrook at
1-800-755-5275.
HOW WE CREDIT INTEREST. We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated
to a Guarantee Period at a rate that compounds to the annual interest rate that
we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period. The following
example illustrates how a purchase payment allocated to a Guaranteed Period
would grow, given an assumed Guarantee Period and annual interest rate:

Total Interest Credited During Guarantee Period = $2,461.82 ($12,461.82 - $10,000)
</TABLE>
This example assumes no withdrawals during the entire 5 year Guarantee Period.
If you were to make a withdrawal, you may be required to pay a withdrawal
charge. In addition, the amount withdrawn may be increased or decreased by a
Market Value Adjustment that reflects changes in interest rates since the time
you invested the amount withdrawn. The hypothetical interest rate is for
illustrative purposes only and is not intended to predict future interest rates
to be declared under the Contract. Actual interest rates declared for any given
Guarantee Period may be more or less than shown above.
RENEWALS. Prior to the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice
asking you what to do with your money, including the accrued interest. During
the 30-day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may:
1. Take no action. We will automatically apply your money to a new Guarantee
Period of the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee
Period will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new
interest rate will be our current declared rate for a Guarantee Period of that
length; or
2. Instruct us to apply your money to one or more new Guarantee Periods of your
choice. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee
Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for
those Guarantee Periods; or
3. Instruct us to transfer all or a portion of your money to one or more
Variable Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. We will effect the transfer on
the day we receive your instructions. We will not adjust the amount transferred
to include a Market Value Adjustment; or
4. Withdraw all or a portion of your money. You may be required to pay a
withdrawal charge, but we will not adjust the amount withdrawn to include a
Market Value Adjustment. You may also be required to pay premium taxes and
income tax withholding, if applicable. We will pay interest from the day the
Guarantee Period expired until the date of withdrawal. The interest will be the
rate for the shortest Guarantee Period then being offered. Amounts not withdrawn
will be applied to a new Guarantee Period of the same length as the previous
Guarantee Period. The new Guarantee Period will begin on the day the previous
Guarantee Period ends.
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT. All withdrawals and transfers from a Guarantee Period,
other than those taken during the 30 day period after such Guarantee Period
expires, are subject to a Market Value Adjustment. A Market Value Adjustment
also may apply upon payment of a death benefit and when you apply amounts
currently invested in a
19 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
Guarantee Period to an Income Plan (unless paid or applied during the 30-day
period after such Guarantee Period expires). We also will not apply a Market
Value Adjustment to a withdrawal you make:
- - within the Free Withdrawal Amount as described on page 22,
- - that qualify for one of the waivers as described on page 23,
- - to satisfy the IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract, or
- - a single withdrawal made by a surviving spouse made within one year after
continuing the Contract.
We apply the Market Value Adjustment to reflect changes in interest rates from
the time you first allocate money to a Guarantee Period to the time you remove
it from that Guarantee Period. We calculate the Market Value Adjustment by
comparing the TREASURY RATE for a period equal to the Guarantee Period at its
inception to the Treasury Rate for a period equal to the Guarantee Period when
you remove your money. "Treasury Rate" means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant
Maturity Yield as reported in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in
interest rates. As such, you bear the investment risk associated with changes in
interest rates. If interest rates increase significantly, the Market Value
Adjustment and any withdrawal charge, premium taxes, and income tax withholding
(if applicable) could reduce the amount you receive upon full withdrawal from a
Guaranteed Period to an amount that is less than the purchase payment applied to
that period plus interest earned under the Contract.
Generally, if the original Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a
Guarantee Period is higher than the applicable current Treasury Rate for a
period equal to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will
result in a higher amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income
Plan. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the time you allocate money to a
Guarantee Period is lower than the applicable Treasury Rate for a period equal
to the Guarantee Period, then the Market Value Adjustment will result in a lower
amount payable to you, transferred or applied to an Income Plan.
For example, assume that you purchase a Contract and you select an initial
Guarantee Period of 5 years and the 5 year Treasury Rate for that duration is
4.50%. Assume that at the end of 3 years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at
that later time, the current 5 year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market
Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the
amount payable to you. Conversely, if the current 5 year Treasury Rate is 4.80%,
then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a
decrease in the amount payable to you.
The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in Appendix B
to this prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application
of the Market Value Adjustment.
INVESTMENT ALTERNATIVES: TRANSFERS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSFERS DURING THE ACCUMULATION PHASE
During the Accumulation Phase, you may transfer Contract Value among the
investment alternatives. You may not transfer Contract Value to the Short-Term
Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option or the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed
Account Option. You may request transfers in writing on a form that we provided
or by telephone according to the procedure described below. The minimum amount
that you may transfer into a Guarantee Period is $50. We currently do not
assess, but reserve the right to assess, a $10 charge on each transfer in excess
of 12 per Contract Year. All transfers to or from more than one Portfolio on any
given day counts as one transfer.
We will process transfer requests that we receive before 3:00 p.m. Central Time
on any Valuation Date using the Accumulation Unit Values for that Date. We will
process requests completed after 3:00 p.m. Central Time on any Valuation Date
using the Accumulation Unit Values for the next Valuation Date. The Contract
permits us to defer transfers from the Fixed Account for up to six months from
the date we receive your request. If we decide to postpone transfers for 30 days
or more, we will pay interest as required by applicable law. Any interest would
be payable from the date we receive the transfer request to the date we make the
transfer.
If you transfer an amount from a Guarantee Period other than during the 30 day
period after such Guarantee Period expires, we will increase or decrease the
amount by a Market Value Adjustment.
We reserve the right to waive any transfer restrictions.
20 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
TRANSFERS DURING THE PAYOUT PHASE
During the Payout Phase, you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts
so as to change the relative weighting of the Variable Sub-Accounts on which
your variable income payments will be based. In addition, you will have a
limited ability to make transfers from the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the
proportion of your income payments consisting of fixed income payments. You may
not, however, convert any portion of your right to receive fixed income payments
into variable income payments.
If you choose an Income Plan that depends on any person's life, you may not make
any transfers for the first 6 months after the Payout Start Date. Thereafter,
you may make transfers among the Variable Sub-Accounts or make transfers from
the Variable Sub-Accounts to increase the proportion of your income payments
consisting of fixed income payments. Your transfers must be at least 6 months
apart.
TELEPHONE TRANSFERS
You may make transfers by telephone by calling 1-800-755-5275. The cut off time
for telephone transfer requests is 3:00 p.m. Central time. In the event that the
New York Stock Exchange closes early, i.e., before 3:00 p.m. Central Time, or in
the event that the Exchange closes early for a period of time but then reopens
for trading on the same day, we will process telephone transfer requests as of
the close of the Exchange on that particular day. We will not accept telephone
requests received at any telephone number other than the number that appears in
this paragraph or received after the close of trading on the Exchange.
We may suspend, modify or terminate the telephone transfer privilege at any time
without notice.
We use procedures that we believe provide reasonable assurance that the
telephone transfers are genuine. For example, we tape telephone conversations
with persons purporting to authorize transfers and request identifying
information. Accordingly, we disclaim any liability for losses resulting from
allegedly unauthorized telephone transfers. However, if we do not take
reasonable steps to help ensure that a telephone authorization is valid, we may
be liable for such losses.
DOLLAR COST AVERAGING PROGRAM
Through our Dollar Cost Averaging Program, you may automatically transfer a
fixed dollar amount every month during the Accumulation Phase from the Short
Term Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account or the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed
Account, to any Variable Sub-Account. You may not use the Dollar Cost Averaging
Program to transfer amounts to the Guarantee Periods.
We will not charge a transfer fee for transfers made under this Program, nor
will such transfer count against the 12 transfers you can make each Contract
Year without paying a transfer fee.
The theory of dollar cost averaging is that if purchases of equal dollar amounts
are made at fluctuating prices, the aggregate average cost per unit will be less
than the average of the unit prices on the same purchase dates. However,
participation in this Program does not assure you of a greater profit from your
purchases under the Program nor will it prevent or necessarily reduce losses in
a declining market. Call or write us for instructions on how to enroll.
AUTOMATIC PORTFOLIO REBALANCING PROGRAM
Once you have allocated your money among the Variable Sub-Accounts, the
performance of each Sub-Account may cause a shift in the percentage you
allocated to each Sub-Account. If you select our Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing
Program, we will automatically rebalance the Contract Value in each Variable
Sub-Account and return it to the desired percentage allocations. We will not
include money you allocate to the Fixed Account Options in the Automatic
Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
We will rebalance your account each quarter according to your instructions. We
will transfer amounts among the Variable Sub-Accounts to achieve the percentage
allocations you specify. You can change your allocations at any time by
contacting us in writing or by telephone. The new allocation will be effective
with the first rebalancing that occurs after we receive your request. We are not
responsible for rebalancing that occurs prior to receipt of your request.
Example:
Assume that you want your initial purchase payment split among 2 Variable
Sub-Accounts. You want 40% to be in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable
Sub-Account and 60% to be in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account. Over
the next 2 months the bond market does very well while the stock market
performs poorly. At the end of the first quarter, the Fidelity VIP High
Income Variable Sub-Account now represents 50% of your holdings because of
its increase in value. If you choose to have your holdings rebalanced
quarterly, on the first day of the next quarter, we would sell some of your
units in the Fidelity VIP High Income Variable Sub-Account and use the money
to buy more units in the AIM V.I. Growth Variable Sub-Account so that the
percentage allocations would again be 40% and 60% respectively.
The Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program is available only during the
Accumulation Phase. The transfers made under the Program do not count towards
the 12 transfers you can make without paying a transfer fee, and are not subject
to a transfer fee. Portfolio rebalancing is consistent with maintaining your
allocation of investments among market segments, although it is accomplished by
reducing your Contract Value allocated to the better performing segments.

<PAGE>
EXPENSES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
As a Contract owner, you will bear, directly or indirectly, the charges and
expenses described below.
CONTRACT MAINTENANCE CHARGE
During the Accumulation Phase, on each Contract Anniversary, we will deduct a
$35 contract maintenance charge from your Contract Value invested in each
Variable Sub-Account in proportion to the amount invested. If you surrender your
Contract, we will deduct the contract maintenance charge pro rated for the part
of the Contract Year elapsed, unless your Contract qualifies for a waiver,
described below.
The charge is to compensate us for the cost of administering the Contracts and
the Variable Account. Maintenance costs include expenses we incur collecting
purchase payments; keeping records; processing death claims, cash withdrawals,
and policy changes; proxy statements; calculating Accumulation Unit Values and
income payments; and issuing reports to Contract owners and regulatory agencies.
We cannot increase the charge. However, we will waive this charge if, as of the
Contract Anniversary or upon full surrender:
- - total purchase payments equal $50,000 or more, or
- - all money is allocated to the Fixed Account.
In addition, we will waive the Contract Maintenance Charge if total purchase
payments are $50,000 or more as of the Payout Start Date.
MORTALITY AND EXPENSE RISK CHARGE
We deduct a mortality and expense risk charge daily at an annual rate of 1.05%
of the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts
(1.27% if you select the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, and 1.49% if you select
the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider). The mortality and
expense risk charge is for all the insurance benefits available with your
Contract (including our guarantee of annuity rates and the death benefits), for
certain expenses of the Contract, and for assuming the risk (expense risk) that
the current charges will be sufficient in the future to cover the cost of
administering the Contract. If the charges under the Contract are not
sufficient, then we will bear the loss. We charge an additional amount for the
Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit
Combination Rider to compensate us for the additional risk that we accept by
providing these options.
We guarantee that we will not raise the mortality and expense risk charge. We
assess the mortality and expense risk charge during both the Accumulation Phase
and the Payout Phase.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE CHARGE
We deduct an administrative expense charge daily at an annual rate of 0.10% of
the average daily net assets you have invested in the Variable Sub-Accounts. We
intend this charge to cover actual administrative expenses that exceed the
revenues from the contract maintenance charge. There is no necessary
relationship between the amount of administrative charge imposed on a given
Contract and the amount of expenses that may be attributed to that Contract. We
assess this charge each day during the Accumulation Phase and the Payout Phase.
We guarantee that we will not raise this charge.
TRANSFER FEE
We do not currently impose a fee upon transfers among the investment
alternatives. However, we reserve the right to charge $10 per transfer after the
12th transfer in each Contract Year. We will not charge a transfer fee on
transfers that are part of a Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Portfolio
Rebalancing Program.
WITHDRAWAL CHARGE
We may assess a withdrawal charge of up to 6% of the purchase payment(s) you
withdraw. The charge declines to 0% over a 6 year period that begins on the day
we receive your payment. A schedule showing how the charge declines is shown on
page 7. During each Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 15% of the aggregate
amount of your purchase payments without paying the charge. Unused portions of
this "Free Withdrawal Amount" are not carried forward to future Contract Years.
We will deduct withdrawal charges, if applicable, from the amount paid.
For purposes of calculating the withdrawal charge, we will treat withdrawals as
coming from the oldest purchase payments first. However, for federal income tax
purposes, please note that withdrawals are considered to have come first from
earnings, which means you pay taxes on the earnings portion of your withdrawal.
We do not apply a withdrawal charge in the following situations:
- - on the Payout Start Date (a withdrawal charge may apply if you terminate
income payments to be received for a specified period;
- - withdrawals taken to satisfy IRS minimum distribution rules for the Contract;
or
- - withdrawals that qualify for one of the waivers as described below.
We use the amounts obtained from the withdrawal charge to pay sales commissions
and other promotional or distribution expenses associated with marketing the
Contracts. To the extent that the withdrawal charge does not cover all sales
commissions and other promotional or distribution expenses, we may use any of
our corporate assets, including potential profit which may arise from the
mortality and expense risk
22 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
charge or any other charges or fee described above, to make up any difference.
Withdrawals also may be subject to tax penalties or income tax and a Market
Value Adjustment. You should consult your own tax counsel or other tax advisers
regarding any withdrawals.
CONFINEMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value
Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under your
Contract if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. You or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, are
confined to a long term care facility or a hospital for at least 90 consecutive
days. You or the Annuitant must enter the long term care facility or hospital at
least 30 days after the Issue Date;
2. You request the withdrawal and provide written proof of the stay no later
than 90 days following the end of your or the Annuitant's stay at the long term
care facility or hospital; and
3. A physician must have prescribed the stay and the stay must be medically
necessary (as defined in the Contract).
You may not claim this benefit if you, the Annuitant, or a member of your or the
Annuitant's immediate family, is the physician prescribing your or the
Annuitant's stay in a long term care facility.
TERMINAL ILLNESS WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market
Value Adjustment on all withdrawals taken prior to the Payout Start Date under
your Contract if:
1. you or the Annuitant (if the Contract owner is not a natural person) are
first diagnosed with a terminal illness at least 30 days after the Issue Date;
and
2. you claim this benefit and deliver adequate proof of diagnosis to us.
UNEMPLOYMENT WAIVER. We will waive the withdrawal charge and any Market Value
Adjustment on one partial or a full withdrawal taken prior to the Payout Start
Date under your Contract, if you meet the following requirements:
1. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, become
unemployed at least one year after the Issue Date;
2. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, receive
unemployment compensation as defined in the Contract for at least 30 days as a
result of that unemployment; and
3. you or the Annuitant, if the Contract owner is not a natural person, claim
this benefit within 180 days of your or the Annuitant's initial receipt of
unemployment compensation.
Please refer to your Contract for more detailed information about the terms and
conditions of these waivers.
The laws of your state may limit the availability of these waivers and may also
change certain terms and/or benefits available under the waivers. You should
consult your Contract for further details on these variations. Also, even if you
do not need to pay our withdrawal charge or a Market Value Adjustment because of
these waivers, you still may be required to pay taxes or tax penalties on the
amount withdrawn. You should consult your tax adviser to determine the effect of
a withdrawal on your taxes.
PREMIUM TAXES
Some states and other governmental entities (e.g., municipalities) charge
premium taxes or similar taxes. We are responsible for paying these taxes and
will deduct them from your Contract Value. Some of these taxes are due when the
Contract is issued, others are due when income payments begin or upon surrender.
Our current practice is not to charge anyone for these taxes until income
payments begin or when a total withdrawal occurs, including payment upon death.
At our discretion, we may discontinue this practice and deduct premium taxes
from the purchase payments. Premium taxes generally range from 0% to 4%,
depending on the state.
At the Payout Start Date, if applicable, we deduct the charge for premium taxes
from each investment alternative in the proportion that the Contract owner's
value in the investment alternative bears to the total Contract Value.
DEDUCTION FOR SEPARATE ACCOUNT INCOME TAXES
We are not currently maintaining a provision for taxes. In the future, however,
we may establish a provision for taxes if we determine, in our sole discretion,
that we will incur a tax as a result of the operation of the Variable Account.
We will deduct for any taxes we incur as a result of the operation of the
Variable Account, whether or not we previously made a provision for taxes and
whether or not it was sufficient. Our status under the Internal Revenue Code is
briefly described in the Statement of Additional Information.
OTHER EXPENSES
Each Portfolio deducts advisory fees and other expenses from its assets. You
indirectly bear the charges and expenses of the Portfolios whose shares are held
by the Variable Sub-Accounts. These fees and expenses are described in the
accompanying prospectuses for the Funds. For a summary of current estimates of
those charges and expenses, see page 8. We may receive compensation from the
investment advisers or administrators of the Portfolios in connection with the
administrative services we provide to the Portfolios.
23 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
You can withdraw some or all of your Contract Value at any time prior to the
Payout Start Date.
The amount payable upon withdrawal is the Contract Value (or portion thereof)
next computed after we receive the request for a withdrawal at our home office,
adjusted by any Market Value Adjustment, less any withdrawal charges, contract
maintenance charges, income tax withholding, penalty tax, and any premium taxes.
We will pay withdrawals from the Variable Account within 7 days of receipt of
the request, subject to postponement in certain circumstances.
You can withdraw money from the Variable Account or the Fixed Account Options.
To complete a partial withdrawal from the Variable Account, we will cancel
Accumulation Units in an amount equal to the withdrawal and any applicable
withdrawal charge and premium taxes.
You must name the investment alternative from which you are taking the
withdrawal. If none is named, then the withdrawal request is incomplete and
cannot be honored.
In general, you must withdraw at least $50 at a time. You also may withdraw a
lesser amount if you are withdrawing your entire interest in a Variable
Sub-Account.
If you request a total withdrawal, we may require you to return your Contract to
us.
POSTPONEMENT OF PAYMENTS
We may postpone the payment of any amounts due from the Variable Account under
the Contract if:
1. The New York Stock Exchange is closed for other than usual weekends or
holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
2. An emergency exists as defined by the SEC; or
3. The SEC permits delay for your protection.
In addition, we may delay payments or transfers from the Fixed Account Options
for up to 6 months (or shorter period if required by law). If we delay payment
for 30 days or more, we will pay interest as required by law.
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PROGRAM
You may choose to receive systematic withdrawal payments on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis at any time prior to the Payout Start
Date. The minimum amount of each systematic withdrawal is $50. At our
discretion, systematic withdrawals may not be offered in conjunction with the
Dollar Cost Averaging Program or Automatic Portfolio Rebalancing Program.
Depending on fluctuations in the value of the Variable Sub-Accounts and the
value of the Fixed Account Options, systematic withdrawals may reduce or even
exhaust the Contract Value. Income taxes may apply to systematic withdrawals.
Please consult your tax advisor before taking any withdrawal.
We will make systematic withdrawal payments to you or your designated payee. At
our discretion, we may modify or suspend the Systematic Withdrawal Program and
charge a processing fee for the service. If we modify or suspend the Systematic
Withdrawal Program, existing systematic withdrawal payments will not be
affected.
MINIMUM CONTRACT VALUE
If your request for a partial withdrawal would reduce your Contract Value to
less than $2,000, we may treat it as a request to withdraw your entire Contract
Value. Your Contract will terminate if you withdraw all of your Contract Value.
We will, however, ask you to confirm your withdrawal request before terminating
your Contract. If we terminate your Contract, we will distribute to you its
Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment, less
withdrawal and other charges and applicable taxes.

INCOME PAYMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
PAYOUT START DATE
You select the Payout Start Date in your application. The Payout Start Date is
the day that we apply your money to an Income Plan. The Payout Start Date must
be:
- - at least 30 days after the Issue Date; and
- - no later than the day the Annuitant reaches age 90, or the 10th Contract
Anniversary, if later.
You may change the Payout Start Date at any time by notifying us in writing of
the change at least 30 days before the scheduled Payout Start Date. Absent a
change, we will use the Payout Start Date stated in your Contract.
INCOME PLANS
An Income Plan is a series of scheduled payments to you or someone you
designate. You may choose and change your choice of Income Plan until 30 days
before the Payout Start Date. If you do not select an Income Plan, we will make
income payments in accordance with Income Plan 1 with guaranteed payments for 10
years.
Three Income Plans are available under the Contract. Each is available to
provide:
- - fixed income payments;
- - variable income payments; or
- - a combination of the two.
The three Income Plans are:
INCOME PLAN 1 -- LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under this plan, we make
periodic income payments for at least as long as the Annuitant lives. If the
Annuitant dies before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we
will continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required
by the Contract.
INCOME PLAN 2 -- JOINT AND SURVIVOR LIFE INCOME WITH GUARANTEED PAYMENTS. Under
this plan, we make periodic income payments for at least as long as either the
Annuitant or the joint Annuitant is alive. If both the Annuitant and the joint
Annuitant die before we have made all of the guaranteed income payments, we will
continue to pay the remainder of the guaranteed income payments as required by
the Contract.
INCOME PLAN 3 -- GUARANTEED PAYMENTS FOR A SPECIFIED PERIOD (5 YEARS TO 30
YEARS). Under this plan, we make periodic income payments for the period you
have chosen. These payments do not depend on the Annuitant's life. You may elect
to receive guaranteed payments for periods ranging from 5 to 30 years. Income
payments for less than 120 months may be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will
deduct the mortality and expense risk charge from the Variable Sub-Account
assets that support variable income payments even though we may not bear any
mortality risk.
The length of any guaranteed payment period under your selected Income Plan
generally will affect the dollar amounts of each income payment. As a general
rule, longer guarantee periods result in lower income payments, all other things
being equal. For example, if you choose an Income Plan with payments that depend
on the life of the Annuitant but with no minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments, the income payments generally will be greater than the income payments
made under the same Income Plan with a minimum specified period for guaranteed
payments.
If you choose Income Plan 1 or 2, or, if available, another Income Plan with
payments that continue for the life of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant, we may
require proof of age and sex of the Annuitant or joint Annuitant before starting
income payments, and proof that the Annuitant or joint Annuitant are alive
before we make each payment. Please note that under such Income Plans, if you
elect to take no minimum guaranteed payments, it is possible that the payee
could receive only 1 income payment if the Annuitant and any joint Annuitant
both die before the second income payment, or only 2 income payments if they die
before the third income payment, and so on.
Generally, you may not make withdrawals after the Payout Start Date. One
exception to this rule applies if you are receiving variable income payments
that do not depend on the life of the Annuitant (such as under Income Plan 3).
In that case you may terminate all or part of the Variable Account portion of
the income payments at any time and receive a lump sum equal to the present
value of the remaining variable payments associated with the amount withdrawn.
The minimum amount you may withdraw under this feature is $1,000. A withdrawal
charge may apply. We deduct applicable premium taxes from the Contract Value at
the Payout Start Date.
We may make other Income Plans available.
If you elected the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Option, you may
be able to apply an amount greater than your Contract Value to an Income Plan.
You must apply at least the Contract Value in the Fixed Account on the Payout
Start Date to fixed income payments. If you wish to apply any portion of your
Fixed Account balance to provide variable income payments, you should plan ahead
and transfer that amount to the Variable Sub-Accounts prior to the Payout Start
Date. If you do not tell us how to allocate your Contract Value among fixed and
variable income payments, we will apply your Contract Value in the Variable
Account to variable income payments and your Contract Value in the Fixed Account
to fixed income payments.
We will apply your Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value
Adjustment, less applicable taxes to your Income Plan on the Payout Start Date.
If the amount
25 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
available to apply under an Income Plan is less than $2,000, or not enough to
provide an initial payment of at least $20, and state law permits, we may:
- - pay you the Contract Value, adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment
and less any applicable taxes, in a lump sum instead of the periodic payments
you have chosen; or
- - reduce the frequency of your payments so that each payment will be at least
$20.
VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS
The amount of your variable income payments depends upon the investment results
of the Variable Sub-Accounts you select, the premium taxes you pay, the age and
sex of the Annuitant, and the Income Plan you choose. We guarantee that the
payments will not be affected by (a) actual mortality experience and (b) the
amount of our administration expenses.
We cannot predict the total amount of your variable income payments. Your
variable income payments may be more or less than your total purchase payments
because (a) variable income payments vary with the investment results of the
underlying Portfolios; and (b) the Annuitant could live longer or shorter than
we expect based on the tables we use.
In calculating the amount of the periodic payments in the annuity tables in the
Contract, we assumed an annual investment rate of 3%. If the actual net
investment return of the Variable Sub-Accounts you choose is less than this
assumed investment rate, then the dollar amount of your variable income payments
will decrease. The dollar amount of your variable income payments will increase,
however, if the actual net investment return exceeds the assumed investment
rate. The dollar amount of the variable income payments stays level if the net
investment return equals the assumed investment rate. Please refer to the
Statement of Additional Information for more detailed information as to how we
determine variable income payments.
FIXED INCOME PAYMENTS
We guarantee income payment amounts derived from any Fixed Account Option for
the duration of the Income Plan. We calculate the fixed income payments by:
1. adjusting the portion of the Contract Value in any Fixed Account Option on
the Payout Start Date by any applicable Market Value Adjustment;
2. deducting any applicable premium tax; and
3. applying the resulting amount to the greater of (a) the appropriate value
from the income payment table in your Contract or (b) such other value as we are
offering at that time.
We may defer making fixed income payments for a period of up to 6 months or any
shorter time state law may require. If we defer payments for 30 days or more, we
will pay interest as required by law from the date we receive the withdrawal
request to the date we make payment.
CERTAIN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The Contracts offered by this prospectus contain income payment tables that
provide for different payments to men and women of the same age, except in
states that require unisex tables. We reserve the right to use income payment
tables that do not distinguish on the basis of sex to the extent permitted by
applicable law. In certain employment-related situations, employers are required
by law to use the same income payment tables for men and women. Accordingly, if
the Contract is to be used in connection with an employment-related retirement
or benefit plan and we do not offer unisex annuity tables in your state, you
should consult with legal counsel as to whether the purchase of a Contract is
appropriate.
DEATH BENEFITS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We will pay a death benefit prior to the Payout Start Date on:
1. the death of any Contract owner or,
2. the death of the Annuitant, if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person.
We will pay the death benefit to the new Contract owner as determined
immediately after the death. The new Contract owner would be a surviving
Contract owner or, if none, the Beneficiary(ies). In the case of the death of
the Annuitant, we will pay the death benefit to the current Contract owner.
A claim for a distribution on death must include DUE PROOF OF DEATH. We will
accept the following documentation as "Due Proof of Death":
- - a certified copy of a death certificate,
- - a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the
finding of death, or
26 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
- - any other proof acceptable to us.
DEATH BENEFIT AMOUNT
Prior to the Payout Start Date, the death benefit is equal to the greatest of:
1. the Contract Value as of the date we determine the value of the death
benefit, or
2. the SETTLEMENT VALUE (that is, the amount payable on a full withdrawal of
Contract Value) on the date we determine the value of the death benefit, or
3. the Contract Value on each DEATH BENEFIT ANNIVERSARY prior to the date we
determine the death benefit, increased by purchase payments made since that
Death Benefit Anniversary and reduced by an adjustment for any partial
withdrawals since that Death Benefit Anniversary. A "Death Benefit Anniversary"
is every seventh Contract Anniversary beginning with the Issue Date. For
example, the Issue Date, 7th and 14th Contract Anniversaries are the first 3
Death Benefit Anniversaries.
The withdrawal adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), with the result
multiplied by (c), where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = is the withdrawal amount;
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal; and
(c) = is the Contract value on the Death
Benefit Anniversary adjusted by any
prior purchase payments or withdrawals
made since that Anniversary.
</TABLE>
We will determine the value of the death benefit as of the end of the Valuation
Date on which we receive a complete request for payment of the death benefit. If
we receive a request after 3 p.m. Central Time on a Valuation Date, we will
process the request as of the end of the following Valuation Date.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT RIDER
If the Contract owner is a living individual, the enhanced death benefit applies
only upon the death of the Contract owner. If the Contract owner is not a living
individual, the enhanced death benefit applies only upon the death of the
Annuitant. For Contracts with the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider, the death
benefit will be the greatest of (1) through (3) above, or (4) the enhanced death
benefit. The enhanced death benefit is equal to the greater of the Enhanced
Death Benefit A or Enhanced Death Benefit B. Enhanced Death Benefit B may not be
available in all states.
That enhanced death benefit will never be greater than the maximum death benefit
allowed by any state nonforfeiture laws that govern the Contract.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT A. At issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is equal to the
initial purchase payment. After issue, Enhanced Death Benefit A is the greatest
of the ANNIVERSARY VALUES as of the date we determine the death benefit. The
"Anniversary Value" is equal to the Contract Value on a Contract Anniversary,
increased by purchase payments made since that Anniversary and reduced by an
adjustment for any partial withdrawals since that Anniversary. The adjustment is
equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c) where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = is the withdrawal amount,
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal, and
(c) = is the Contract Value on that Contract
Anniversary adjusted by any prior
purchase payments and withdrawals
since that Contract Anniversary.
</TABLE>
We will calculate Anniversary Values for each Contract Anniversary prior to the
oldest Contract owner's or the Annuitant's, if the Contract owner is not a
natural person, 80th birthday.
ENHANCED DEATH BENEFIT B. The Enhanced Death Benefit B is equal to total
purchase payments made reduced by a withdrawal adjustment, as defined below.
Each purchase payment and each withdrawal adjustment will accumulate daily at a
rate equivalent to 5% per year until the earlier of:
- - the date we determine the death benefit, or
- - the first day of the month following the oldest Contract owner's or, if the
Contract owner is not a natural person, the Annuitant's, 85th birthday.
The adjustment is equal to (a) divided by (b), and the result multiplied by (c)
where:
<TABLE>
<S> <C> <C>
(a) = the withdrawal amount,
(b) = is the Contract Value immediately
prior to the withdrawal, and
(c) = is the most recently calculated
enhanced death benefit.
</TABLE>
ENHANCED DEATH AND INCOME BENEFIT COMBINATION RIDER
You may elect not to choose the Enhanced Death Benefit Rider and may instead
choose the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit Combination Rider.
The enhanced death benefit portion of the Enhanced Death and Income Benefit
Combination Rider is as described above under "Enhanced Death Benefit Rider."
The enhanced income benefit defines a minimum amount applied to the Payout
Phase. This minimum amount is equal
27 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
to the value the enhanced death benefit would be on the Payout Start Date.
The enhanced income benefit will apply if the Contract owner elects a Payout
Start Date that:
- - is on or after the tenth Contract Anniversary, and
- - is prior to the Annuitant's 90th Birthday.
On the Payout Start Date, you may apply the greater of the Contract Value or the
enhanced income benefit to the Payout Phase of the Contract. No Market Value
Adjustment will be applied to the enhanced income benefit amount. The enhanced
income benefit will only apply if the Income Plan selected provides payments
guaranteed for either a single or joint lives with a period certain of at least:
- - 10 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is 80 or less on the date the amount
is applied; or
- - 5 years, if the youngest Annuitant's age is greater than 80 on the date the
amount is applied.
If, however, you apply the Contract Value and not the enhanced income benefit to
the Income Plan, then you may select any Income Plan we offer at that time.
DEATH BENEFIT PAYMENTS
A death benefit will be paid:
1. if the Contract owner elects to receive the death benefit distributed in a
single payment within 180 days of the date of death, and
2. if the death benefit is paid as of the day the value of the death benefit is
determined. Otherwise, the Settlement Value will be paid. We are currently
waiving the 180 day limit, but we reserve the right to enforce the limitation in
the future.
In any event, the entire value of the Contract must be distributed within 5
years after the date of death unless an Income Plan is elected or a surviving
spouse continues the Contract in accordance with the provisions described below.
If the Contract owner eligible to receive the distribution upon death is not a
natural person, the Contract owner may elect to receive the distribution upon
death in one or more distributions.
If the Contract owner is a natural person, the Contract owner may elect to
receive the distribution upon death either in one or more distributions or by
periodic payments through an Income Plan. Payments from the Income Plan must
begin within one year of the date of death and must be payable throughout:
- - the life of the Contract owner; or
- - a period not to exceed the life expectancy of the Contract owner; or
- - the life of the Contract owner with payments guaranteed to a period not to
exceed the life expectancy of the Contract owner.
If the surviving spouse of the deceased Contract owner is the new Contract
owner, then the spouse may elect one of the options listed above or may continue
the Contract in the Accumulation Phase as if the death had not occurred. If the
Contract is continued in the Accumulation Phase, the surviving spouse may make a
single withdrawal of any amount within 1 year of the date of death without
incurring a withdrawal charge or Market Value Adjustment.

MORE INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
GLENBROOK
Glenbrook is the issuer of the Contract. Glenbrook is a stock life insurance
company organized under the laws of the State of Arizona in 1998. Previously,
Glenbrook was organized under the laws of the State of Illinois in 1992.
Glenbrook was originally organized under the laws of the State of Indiana in
1965. From 1965 to 1983 Glenbrook was known as "United Standard Life Assurance
Company" and from 1983 to 1992 as "William Penn Life Assurance Company of
America."
Glenbrook is currently licensed to operate in the District of Columbia and all
states except New York. We intend to offer the Contract in those jurisdictions
in which we are licensed. Our home office is located at 3100 Sanders Road,
Northbrook, Illinois, 60062.
Glenbrook is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate Life Insurance Company
("ALLSTATE LIFE"), a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Illinois. Allstate Life is a wholly owned subsidiary of Allstate
Insurance Company, a stock property-liability insurance company incorporated
under the laws of Illinois. All of the outstanding capital stock of Allstate
Insurance Company is owned by The Allstate Corporation.
Glenbrook and Allstate Life entered into a reinsurance agreement effective
June 5, 1992. Under the reinsurance agreement, Allstate Life reinsures
substantially all of Glenbrook's liabilities under its various insurance
contracts. The reinsurance agreement provides us with financial backing from
Allstate Life. However, it does not create a direct contractual relationship
between Allstate Life and you. In other words, the obligations of Allstate Life
under the reinsurance agreement are to Glenbrook; Glenbrook remains the sole
obligor under the Contract to you.
Several independent rating agencies regularly evaluate life insurers'
claims-paying ability, quality of investments, and overall stability. A.M. Best
Company assigns A+ (Superior) to Allstate Life which automatically reinsures all
net business of Glenbrook. A.M. Best Company also assigns Glenbrook the rating
of A+(r) because Glenbrook automatically reinsures all net business with
Allstate Life. Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services assigns an AA+ (Very
Strong) financial strength rating and Moody's assigns an Aa2 (Excellent)
financial strength rating to Glenbrook. Glenbrook shares the same ratings of its
parent, Allstate Life. These ratings do not reflect the investment performance
of the Variable Account. We may from time to time advertise these ratings in our
sales literature.
THE VARIABLE ACCOUNT
Glenbrook established the Glenbrook Life Multi-Manager Variable Account on
January 15, 1996. We have registered the Variable Account with the SEC as a unit
investment trust. The SEC does not supervise the management of the Variable
Account or Glenbrook.
We own the assets of the Variable Account. The Variable Account is a segregated
asset account under Arizona law. That means we account for the Variable
Account's income, gains and losses separately from the results of our other
operations. It also means that only the assets of the Variable Account that are
in excess of the reserves and other Contract liabilities with respect to the
Variable Account are subject to liabilities relating to our other operations.
Our obligations arising under the Contracts are general corporate obligations of
Glenbrook.
The Variable Account consists of 62 Variable Sub-Accounts. Each Variable
Sub-Account invests in a corresponding Portfolio. We may add new Variable
Sub-Accounts or eliminate one or more of them, if we believe marketing, tax, or
investment conditions so warrant. We may also add other Variable Sub-Accounts
that may be available under other variable annuity contracts. We do not
guarantee the investment performance of the Variable Account, its Sub-Accounts
or the Portfolios. We may use the Variable Account to fund our other annuity
contracts. We will account separately for each type of annuity contract funded
by the Variable Account.
THE PORTFOLIOS
DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS. We automatically reinvest all
dividends and capital gains distributions from the Portfolios in shares of the
distributing Portfolio at their net asset value.
VOTING PRIVILEGES. As a general matter, you do not have a direct right to vote
the shares of the Portfolios held by the Variable Sub-Accounts to which you have
allocated your Contract Value. Under current law, however, you are entitled to
give us instructions on how to vote those shares on certain matters. Based on
our present view of the law, we will vote the shares of the Portfolios that we
hold directly or indirectly through the Variable Account in accordance with
instructions that we receive from Contract owners entitled to give such
instructions.
As a general rule, before the Payout Start Date, the Contract owner or anyone
with a voting interest is the person entitled to give voting instructions. The
number of shares that a person has a right to instruct will be determined by
dividing the Contract Value allocated to the applicable Variable Sub-Account by
the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio as of the record
date of the meeting. After the Payout Start Date the person receiving income
payments has the voting interest. The payee's number of votes will be determined
by dividing the reserve for such Contract allocated to the applicable Variable
Sub-Account by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio. The
29 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
votes decrease as income payments are made and as the reserves for the Contract
decrease.
We will vote shares attributable to Contracts for which we have not received
instructions, as well as shares attributable to us, in the same proportion as we
vote shares for which we have received instructions, unless we determine that we
may vote such shares in our own discretion. We will apply voting instructions to
abstain on any item to be voted upon on a pro-rata basis to reduce the votes
eligible to be cast.
We reserve the right to vote Portfolio shares as we see fit without regard to
voting instructions to the extent permitted by law. If we disregard voting
instructions, we will include a summary of that action and our reasons for that
action in the next semi-annual financial report we send to you.
CHANGES IN PORTFOLIOS. If the shares of any of the Portfolios are no longer
available for investment by the Variable Account or if, in our judgment, further
investment in such shares is no longer desirable in view of the purposes of the
Contract, we may eliminate that Portfolio and substitute shares of another
eligible investment fund. Any substitution of securities will comply with the
requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940. We also may add new Variable
Sub-Accounts that invest in additional mutual funds. We will notify you in
advance of any change.
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. Certain of the Portfolios sell their shares to separate
accounts underlying both variable life insurance and variable annuity contracts.
It is conceivable that in the future it may be unfavorable for variable life
insurance separate accounts and variable annuity separate accounts to invest in
the same Portfolio. The boards of directors of these Portfolios monitor for
possible conflicts among separate accounts buying shares of the Portfolios.
Conflicts could develop for a variety of reasons. For example, differences in
treatment under tax and other laws or the failure by a separate account to
comply with such laws could cause a conflict. To eliminate a conflict, a
Portfolio's board of directors may require a separate account to withdraw its
participation in a Portfolio. A Portfolio's net asset value could decrease if it
had to sell investment securities to pay redemption proceeds to a separate
account withdrawing because of a conflict.
THE CONTRACT
DISTRIBUTION. ALFS, Inc.* ("ALFS"), located at 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL
60062-7154, serves as principal underwriter of the Contracts. ALFS is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Allstate Life. ALFS is a registered broker dealer under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("EXCHANGE ACT"), and is a
member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
We will pay commissions to broker-dealers who sell the contracts. Commissions
paid may vary, but we estimate that the total commissions paid on all Contract
sales will not exceed 8% of all purchase payments. These commissions are
intended to cover distribution expenses. Sometimes, we also pay the
broker-dealer a persistency bonus in addition to the standard commissions. A
persistency bonus is not expected to exceed 0.25%, on an annual basis, of the
Contract Values considered in connection with the bonus. In some states,
Contracts may be sold by representatives or employees of banks which may be
acting as broker-dealers without separate registration under the Exchange Act,
pursuant to legal and regulatory exceptions.
Glenbrook does not pay ALFS a commission for distribution of the Contracts. The
underwriting agreement with ALFS provides that we will reimburse ALFS for any
liability to Contract owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts
issued.
ADMINISTRATION. We have primary responsibility for all administration of the
Contracts and the Variable Account. We provide the following administrative
services, among others:
- - issuance of the Contracts;
- - maintenance of Contract owner records;
- - Contract owner services;
- - calculation of unit values;
- - maintenance of the Variable Account; and
- - preparation of Contract owner reports.
We will send you Contract statements and transaction confirmations at least
annually. You should notify us promptly in writing of any address change. You
should read your statements and confirmations carefully and verify their
accuracy. You should contact us promptly if you have a question about a periodic
statement. We will investigate all complaints and make any necessary adjustments
retroactively, but you must notify us of a potential error within a reasonable
time after the date of the questioned statement. If you wait too long, we
reserve the right to make the adjustment as of the date that we receive notice
of the potential error.
We also will provide you with additional periodic and other reports, information
and prospectuses as may be required by federal securities laws.

QUALIFIED PLANS
If you use the Contract with a qualified plan, the plan may impose different or
additional conditions or limitations on withdrawals, waivers of withdrawal
charges, death benefits, Payout Start Dates, income payments, and other Contract
features. In addition, adverse tax consequences may result if qualified plan
limits on distributions and other conditions are not met. Please consult your
qualified plan administrator for more information.
LEGAL MATTERS
Freedman, Levy, Kroll & Simonds, Washington, D.C., has advised Glenbrook on
certain federal securities law matters. All matters of state insurance law
pertaining to the Contracts, including the validity of the Contracts and
Glenbrook's right to issue such Contracts under state insurance law, have been
passed upon by Michael J. Velotta, General Counsel of Glenbrook.
YEAR 2000
Glenbrook is heavily dependent upon complex computer systems for all phases of
its operations, including customer service, and policy and contract
administration. Since many of Glenbrook's older computer software programs
recognize only the last two digits of the year in any date, some software may
have failed to operate properly in or after the year 1999, if the software was
not reprogrammed or replaced ("YEAR 2000 ISSUE"). Glenbrook believes that many
of its counterparties and suppliers also had potential Year 2000 Issues which
could affect Glenbrook. In 1995, Allstate Insurance Company commenced a four
phase plan intended to mitigate and/or prevent the adverse effects of Year 2000
Issues. These strategies included normal development and enhancement of new and
existing systems, upgrades to operating systems already covered by maintenance
agreements, and modifications to existing systems to make them Year 2000
compliant. The plan also included Glenbrook actively working with its major
external counterparties and suppliers to assess their compliance efforts and
Glenbrook's exposure to them. Because of the accuracy of this plan, and its
timely completion, Glenbrook has experienced no material impacts on its results
of operations, liquidity or financial position due to the Year 2000 issue. Year
2000 costs are expensed as incurred.
TAXES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION IS GENERAL AND IS NOT INTENDED AS TAX ADVICE. GLENBROOK
MAKES NO GUARANTEE REGARDING THE TAX TREATMENT OF ANY CONTRACT OR TRANSACTION
INVOLVING A CONTRACT.
Federal, state, local and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of
distributions under an annuity contract depend on your individual circumstances.
If you are concerned about any tax consequences with regard to your individual
circumstances, you should consult a competent tax adviser.
TAXATION OF ANNUITIES IN GENERAL
TAX DEFERRAL. Generally, you are not taxed on increases in the Contract Value
until a distribution occurs. This rule applies only where:
1. the Contract owner is a natural person,
2. the investments of the Variable Account are "adequately diversified"
according to Treasury Department regulations, and
3. Glenbrook is considered the owner of the Variable Account assets for federal
income tax purposes.
NON-NATURAL OWNERS. As a general rule, annuity contracts owned by non-natural
persons such as corporations, trusts, or other entities are not treated as
annuity contracts for federal income tax purposes. The income on such contracts
is taxed as ordinary income received or accrued by the owner during the taxable
year. Please see the Statement of Additional Information for a discussion of
several exceptions to the general rule for Contracts owned by non-natural
persons.
DIVERSIFICATION REQUIREMENTS. For a Contract to be treated as an annuity for
federal income tax purposes, the investments in the Variable Account must be
"adequately diversified" consistent with standards under Treasury Department
regulations. If the investments in the Variable Account are not adequately
diversified, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity contract for federal
income tax purposes. As a result, the income on the Contract will be taxed as
ordinary income received or accrued by the Contract owner during the taxable
year. Although Glenbrook does not have control over the Portfolios or their
investments, we expect the Portfolios to meet the diversification requirements.
OWNERSHIP TREATMENT. The IRS has stated that you will be considered the owner of
Variable Account assets if you possess incidents of ownership in those assets,
such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. At the time
the diversification regulations were issued, the Treasury Department announced
that the regulations do not provide guidance concerning circumstances in which
investor control of separate account investments may cause an investor to be
31 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
treated as the owner of the separate account. The Treasury Department also
stated that future guidance would be issued regarding the extent that owners
could direct sub-account investments without being treated as owners of the
underlying assets of the separate account.
Your rights under the Contract are different than those described by the IRS in
rulings in which it found that contract owners were not owners of separate
account assets. For example, you have the choice to allocate premiums and
Contract Values among more investment alternatives. Also, you may be able to
transfer among investment alternatives more frequently than in such rulings.
These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the Variable
Account. If this occurs, income and gain from the Variable Account assets would
be includible in your gross income. Glenbrook does not know what standards will
be set forth in any regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department may
issue. It is possible that future standards announced by the Treasury Department
could adversely affect the tax treatment of your Contract. We reserve the right
to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being
considered the federal tax owner of the assets of the Variable Account. However,
we make no guarantee that such modification to the Contract will be successful.
TAXATION OF PARTIAL AND FULL WITHDRAWALS. If you make a partial withdrawal under
a non-Qualified Contract, amounts received are taxable to the extent the
Contract Value, without regard to surrender charges, exceeds the investment in
the Contract. The investment in the Contract is the gross premium paid for the
Contract minus any amounts previously received from the Contract if such amounts
were properly excluded from your gross income. If you make a partial withdrawal
under a Qualified Contract, the portion of the payment that bears the same ratio
to the total payment that the investment in the Contract (i.e., nondeductible
IRA contributions, after tax contributions to qualified plans) bears to the
Contract Value, is excluded from your income. If you make a full withdrawal
under a non-Qualified Contract or a Qualified Contract, the amount received will
be taxable only to the extent it exceeds the investment in the Contract.
"Nonqualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are treated as made from
contributions first and are included in gross income only to the extent that
distributions exceed contributions. "Qualified distributions" from Roth IRAs are
not included in gross income. "Qualified distributions" are any distributions
made more than 5 taxable years after the taxable year of the first contribution
to any Roth IRA and which are:
- - made on or after the date the individual attains age 59 1/2,
- - made to a beneficiary after the Contract owner's death,
- - attributable to the Contract owner being disabled, or
- - for a first time home purchase (first time home purchases are subject to a
lifetime limit of $10,000).
If you transfer a non-Qualified Contract without full and adequate consideration
to a person other than your spouse (or to a former spouse incident to a
divorce), you will be taxed on the difference between the Contract Value and the
investment in the Contract at the time of transfer. Except for certain Qualified
Contracts, any amount you receive as a loan under a Contract, and any assignment
or pledge (or agreement to assign or pledge) of the Contract Value is treated as
a withdrawal of such amount or portion.
TAXATION OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS. Generally, the rule for income taxation of annuity
payments received from a non-Qualified Contract provides for the return of your
investment in the Contract in equal tax-free amounts over the payment period.
The balance of each payment received is taxable. For fixed annuity payments, the
amount excluded from income is determined by multiplying the payment by the
ratio of the investment in the Contract (adjusted for any refund feature or
period certain) to the total expected value of annuity payments for the term of
the Contract. If you elect variable annuity payments, the amount excluded from
taxable income is determined by dividing the investment in the Contract by the
total number of expected payments. The annuity payments will be fully taxable
after the total amount of the investment in the Contract is excluded using these
ratios. If you die, and annuity payments cease before the total amount of the
investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount will be allowed
as a deduction for your last taxable year.
TAXATION OF ANNUITY DEATH BENEFITS. Death of a Contract owner, or death of the
Annuitant if the Contract is owned by a non-natural person, will cause a
distribution of death benefits from a Contract. Generally, such amounts are
included in income as follows:
1. if distributed in a lump sum, the amounts are taxed in the same manner as a
full withdrawal, or
2. if distributed under an annuity option, the amounts are taxed in the same
manner as an annuity payment. Please see the Statement of Additional Information
for more detail on distribution at death requirements.
PENALTY TAX ON PREMATURE DISTRIBUTIONS. A 10% penalty tax applies to the taxable
amount of any premature distribution from a non-Qualified Contract. The penalty
tax generally applies to any distribution made prior to the date you attain age
59 1/2. However, no penalty tax is incurred on distributions:
1. made on or after the date the Contract owner attains age 59 1/2;
2. made as a result of the Contract owner's death or disability;
32 PROSPECTUS
<PAGE>
3. made in substantially equal periodic payments over the Contract owner's life
or life expectancy,
4. made under an immediate annuity, or
5. attributable to investment in the Contract before August 14, 1982.
You should consult a competent tax advisor to determine if any other exceptions
to the penalty apply to your situation. Similar exceptions may apply to
distributions from Qualified Contracts.
AGGREGATION OF ANNUITY CONTRACTS. All non-qualified deferred annuity contracts
issued by Glenbrook (or its affiliates) to the same Contract owner during any
calendar year will be aggregated and treated as one annuity contract for
purposes of determining the taxable amount of a distribution.
TAX QUALIFIED CONTRACTS
Contracts may be used as investments with certain qualified plans such as:
- - Individual Retirement Annuities or Accounts (IRAs) under Section 408 of the
Code;
- - Roth IRAs under Section 408A of the Code;
- - Simplified Employee Pension Plans under Section 408(k) of the Code;
- - Savings Incentive Match Plans for Employees (SIMPLE) Plans under Section
408(p) of the Code;
- - Tax Sheltered Annuities under Section 403(b) of the Code;
- - Corporate and Self Employed Pension and Profit Sharing Plans; and
- - State and Local Government and Tax-Exempt Organization Deferred Compensation
Plans.
The income on qualified plan and IRA investments is tax deferred and variable
annuities held by such plans do not receive any additional tax deferral. You
should review the annuity features, including all benefits and expenses, prior
to purchasing a variable annuity in a qualified plan or IRA. Glenbrook reserves
the right to limit the availablity of the Contract for use with any of the
Qualified Plans listed above.
In the case of certain qualified plans, the terms of the plans may govern the
right to benefits, regardless of the terms of the Contract.
RESTRICTIONS UNDER SECTION 403(b) PLANS. Section 403(b) of the Tax Code provides
tax-deferred retirement savings plans for employees of certain non-profit and
educional organizations. Under Section 403(b), any Contract used for a 403(b)
plan must provide that distributions attributable to salary reduction
contributions made after December 31, 1998, and all earnings on salary reduction
contributions, may be made only:
1. on or after the date the employee
- - attains age 59 1/2,
- - separates from service,
- - dies,
- - becomes disabled, or
2. on account of hardship (earnings on salary reduction contributions may not be
distributed on the account of hardship).
These limitations do not apply to withdrawals where Glenbrook is directed to
transfer some or all of the Contract Value to another 403(b) plan.
INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING
Glenbrook is required to withhold federal income tax at a rate of 20% on all
"eligible rollover distributions" unless you elect to make a "direct rollover"
of such amounts to an IRA or eligible retirement plan. Eligible rollover
distributions generally include all distributions from Qualified Contracts,
excluding IRAs, with the exception of:
1. required minimum distributions, or
2. a series of substantially equal periodic payments made over a period of at
least 10 years, or over the life (joint lives) of the participant (and
beneficiary).
Glenbrook may be required to withhold federal and state income taxes on any
distributions from non-Qualified Contracts or Qualified Contracts that are not
eligible rollover distributions, unless you notify us of your election to not
have taxes withheld

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
We may advertise the performance of the Variable Sub-Accounts, including yield
and total return information. Total return represents the change, over a
specified period of time, in the value of an investment in a Variable
Sub-Account after reinvesting all income distributions. Yield refers to the
income generated by an investment in a Variable Sub-Account over a specified
period.
All performance advertisements will include, as applicable, standardized yield
and total return figures that reflect the deduction of insurance charges, the
contract maintenance charge, and withdrawal charge. Performance advertisements
also may include total return figures that reflect the deduction of insurance
charges, but not the contract maintenance or withdrawal charges. The deduction
of such charges would reduce the performance shown. In addition, performance
advertisements may include aggregate average, year-by-year, or other types of
total return figures.
Performance information for periods prior to the inception date of the Variable
Sub-Accounts will be based on the historical performance of the corresponding
Portfolios for the periods beginning with the inception dates of the Portfolios
and adjusted to reflect current Contract expenses. You should not interpret
these figures to reflect actual historical performance of the Variable Account.
We may include in advertising and sales materials tax deferred compounding
charts and other hypothetical illustrations that compare currently taxable and
tax deferred investment programs based on selected tax brackets. Our
advertisements also may compare the performance of our Variable Sub-Accounts
with: (a) certain unmanaged market indices, including but not limited to the Dow
Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500, and the Shearson Lehman
Bond Index; and/or (b) other management investment companies with investment
objectives similar to the underlying funds being compared. In addition, our
advertisements may include the performance ranking assigned by various
publications, including the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Money,
Barron's, Business Week, USA Today, and statistical services, including Lipper
Analytical Services Mutual Fund Survey, Lipper Annuity and Closed End Survey,
the Variable Annuity Research Data Survey, and SEI.

J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the Guarantee Period for the week
preceding the receipt of the withdrawal, transfer, death benefit, or income
payment request. If a Note with a maturity of the original Guarantee Period is
not available, we will use a weighted average.
Treasury Rate means the U.S. Treasury Note Constant Maturity yield as reported
in Federal Reserve Bulletin Release H.15.
The Market Value Adjustment factor is determined from the following formula:
.9 X (I - J) X N
To determine the Market Value Adjustment, we will multiply the Market Value
Adjustment factor by the amount transferred, withdrawn (in excess of the Free
Withdrawal Amount), paid as a death benefit, or applied to an Income Plan from a
Guarantee Period at any time other than during the 30 day period after such
Guarantee Period expires.

EXAMPLES OF MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Purchase Payment: $10,000 allocated to a Guarantee Period
Guarantee Period: 5 years
Interest Rate: 4.50%
Full Withdrawal: End of Contract Year 3
</TABLE>
NOTE: These examples assume that premium taxes are not applicable.
EXAMPLE 1: (ASSUMES DECLINING INTEREST RATES)
Step 1: Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
= 10,000 X (1.045)TO THE POWER OF 3 = $11,411.66
Step 2: Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:
= .15 X 10,000 = $1,500.00
Step 3: Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
= .05 X (10,000 - 1,500) = $425.00
Step 4: Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:
I = 4.50%
J = 4.20%
730 DAYS
N = -------- = 2
365 DAYS
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR: .9 X (I - J) X N
= .9 X (.045 - .042) X 2 = .0054
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT = MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR X AMOUNT SUBJECT TO
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT:
= .0054 X (11,411.66 - 1,500) = $53.52
Step 5: Calculate the amount received by Contract owner as a result of
full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
= 11,411.66 - 425.00 + 53.52 = $11,040.18
EXAMPLE 2: (ASSUMES RISING INTEREST RATES)
Step 1: Calculate Contract Value at End of Contract Year 3:
= 10,000.00 X (1.045)TO THE POWER OF 3 = $11,411.66
Step 2: Calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount:
= .15 X (10,000.00) = $1,500.00
Step 3: Calculate the Withdrawal Charge:
= .05 X (10,000.00 - 1,500.00) = $425.00
Step 4: Calculate the Market Value Adjustment:
I = 4.50%
J = 4.80%
730 DAYS
N = -------- = 2
365 DAYS
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR: .9 X (I - J) X N
= .9 X (.045 - .048) X 2 = -.0054
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT = MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT FACTOR X AMOUNT SUBJECT TO
MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT:
= -.0054 X (11,411.66 - 1,500) = -$53.52
Step 5: Calculate the amount received by Contract owner as a result of
full withdrawal at the end of Contract Year 3:
= 11,411.66 - 425.00 - 53.52 = $10,933.14

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to the registration statement:
(i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof ) which, individually or in the
aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth
in the registration statement; and
(iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or
any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration
statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act
of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of
the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of
1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
registrant, Glenbrook Life and Annuity Company, pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
