For the Future Flex Preferred

Rates are subject to change without notice. The first-year declared interest rate is guaranteed for the first contract year only and is separate from the guaranteed minimum rate of 2.00% and 1.65%, respectively, which is effective for all contract years. Effective annual yields will be lower if withdrawals are more than annually. After the first contract year, annual deposits are limited to $1,000,000. During the surrender charge period, withdrawals exceeding 10% will be subject to a surrender charge that may be higher than fees associated with other types of financial products and may reduce principal. This is a summary of the contract provisions. Please refer to the contract for details of surrender charge schedule, benefits and exclusions. Contract Form Series: ICC22_FPDA_CON_(01-22), FPDA_CON_(01-22)_FL, ICC22-SPIA_CON_(01-22), SPIA_CON_(01-22)_FL
