(a) Total return is calculated assuming a purchase of a share on the first day and a sale on the last day of each year reported and includes reinvestment of distributions and does not
reflect the effect of insurance contract charges. Total return does not reflect expenses associated with the separate account such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender
charges which, if reflected, would reduce the total return for all periods shown. Performance figures may reflect voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In the absence
of voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the total return would be lower. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total returns may reflect adjustments to
conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
