▪ The Annuitant was 70 years old when he/she elected Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 with HD DB<br />

▪ No previous withdrawals have been taken under Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 with HD DB<br />

▪ On October 3, 2013, the Protected Withdrawal Value is $125,000, the 12th benefit year minimum Periodic Value guarantee is<br />

$210,000, the Highest Daily Death Benefit Amount is $115,420, and the Account Value is $120,000. Assuming $15,000 is<br />

withdrawn from the Annuity on October 3, 2013 and is designated as a Non-Lifetime Withdrawal, all guarantees associated<br />

with Highest Daily Lifetime Income 2.0 with HD DB will be reduced by the ratio the total withdrawal amount represents of the<br />

Account Value just prior to the withdrawal being taken.<br />

Here is the calculation:<br />

Withdrawal amount $ 15,000.00<br />

Divided by Account Value before withdrawal $120,000.00<br />

Equals ratio 12.5%<br />

All guarantees will be reduced by the above ratio (12.5%)<br />

Protected Withdrawal Value $109,375.00<br />

12th benefit year Minimum Periodic Value $183,750.00<br />

Highest Daily Death Benefit Amount $100,992.50<br />

Required Minimum Distributions<br />

Required Minimum Distributions (“RMD”) for this Annuity must be taken by April 1st in the year following the date you turn age<br />

70 1 ⁄2 and by December 31st for subsequent calendar years. If the annual RMD amount is greater than the Annual Income Amount,<br />

a withdrawal of the RMD amount will not be treated as a withdrawal of Excess Income, as long as the RMD amount is calculated<br />

by us for this Annuity and administered under a program we support each calendar year. If you are not participating in an RMD<br />

withdrawal program each calendar year, you can alternatively satisfy the RMD amount without it being treated as a withdrawal of<br />

Excess Income as long as you abide by the following:<br />

The total amount within an Annuity Year that can be withdrawn is equal to:<br />

1. the Annual Income Amount remaining in the current Annuity Year, plus,<br />

2. The difference between:<br />

a. The RMD amount (assuming the RMD amount is greater than the Annual Income Amount) less any withdrawals already<br />

taken in the calendar year, less<br />

b. The Annual Income Amount.<br />

Please see hypothetical examples below for details.<br />

If you do not comply with the rules described above, any withdrawal that exceeds the Annual Income Amount will be treated as a<br />

withdrawal of Excess Income, which will reduce your Annual Income Amount in future Annuity Years. This may include<br />

situations where you comply with the rules outlined above and then decide to take additional withdrawals after satisfying your<br />

RMD requirement from the Annuity.<br />

We will assume your first withdrawal under the benefit is a Lifetime Withdrawal unless you designated the withdrawal as a<br />

Non-Lifetime Withdrawal.<br />

Example<br />

The following example is purely hypothetical and intended to illustrate a scenario as described above. Note that withdrawals must<br />

comply with all IRS guidelines in order to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar year.<br />

Assumptions:<br />

RMD Calendar Year<br />

01/01/2012 to 12/31/2012<br />

Annuity Year<br />

06/01/2011 to 05/31/2012<br />

Annual Income Amount and RMD Amount<br />

Annual Income Amount = $5,000<br />

Remaining Annual Income Amount as of 1/3/2012 = $3,000 (a $2,000 withdrawal was taken on 7/1/2011)<br />

RMD Amount for Calendar Year 2012 = $6,000<br />
