For each of the mergers listed above, on the Merger Effective Date, the Target Portfolio will no longer be available under your Annuity contract, and any Account Value allocated to the Sub-account investing in each of the Target Portfolios will be transferred to the Sub-account investing in the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio, as noted above. Your Account Value in the units of the Sub-account investing in the Acquiring Portfolio will be equal to your Account Value of the units of the Sub-account invested in the Target Portfolio immediately prior to the merger.
Please note that you may transfer Account Value out of your Target Portfolio into an investment option available under your Annuity contract for a period of 60 days prior to the Merger Effective Date. Such transfers will be free of charge and will not count as one of your annual free transfers under your Annuity contract. Also, for a period of 60 days after the Merger Effective Date, any Account Value that was transferred to your Acquiring Portfolio as a result of the merger can be transferred into an investment option available under your Annuity contract free of charge and will not count as one of your annual free transfers. It is important to note that any investment option into which you make your transfer will be subject to the transfer limitations described in your Prospectus. Please refer to your Prospectus for detailed information about investment options.
After the Merger Effective Date, the Target Portfolios will no longer exist and, unless you instruct us otherwise, any outstanding instruction you have on file with us that designates a Target Portfolio will be deemed an instruction for the corresponding Acquiring Portfolio. This includes, but is not limited to, Systematic Withdrawals and Dollar Cost Averaging.
