Make the Most of<br />
Your Retirement<br />
In the future, more time will be<br />
spent in retirement. It’s important<br />
to plan ahead to help you achieve<br />
your retirement goals.<br />
A variable annuity, a contract<br />
between you and an insurance<br />
company, can be an important<br />
part of a long-term retirement<br />
strategy. It’s the only investment<br />
that can provide lifetime income<br />
and death benefits as well as<br />
the ability to transfer among<br />
investment options tax-free.<br />
With <strong>Pacific</strong> Value,<br />
you have:<br />
The Power of Diversification<br />
Flexibility to choose investment<br />
strategies that best fit your goals.<br />
The Power of Choice<br />
Optional benefits providing<br />
principal protection and lifetime<br />
income.<br />
A variable annuity offers you the<br />
potential to outpace inflation as<br />
you grow your assets. You also are<br />
able to choose how much and<br />
where to invest as well as when to<br />
start taking income. Your income<br />
is available through withdrawals or<br />
you can convert your contract to<br />
annuity income payouts (standard<br />
payout options). Think of it as a<br />
personal retirement investment<br />
that you control.<br />

The<br />
<strong>Pacific</strong> Value®<br />
Advantage<br />
An Immediate Credit Enhancement<br />
When you invest in <strong>Pacific</strong> Value, you jump-start your<br />
investment (purchase payments) with a 4% or 5% credit.<br />
This helps you achieve your investment goals by crediting<br />
you with more money to start with on day one.<br />
Investment<br />
Credit<br />
Enhancement<br />
Less than $250,000 4%<br />
$250,000 or more 5%<br />
How the Credit Works<br />
Initial Investment $100,000<br />
+ 4% Credit on $100,000 $ 4,000<br />
Total Invested $104,000<br />
Credit enhancements are treated as additional earnings when distributed for<br />
tax purposes and will be subject to market risk when invested in the variable<br />
investment options. In certain scenarios, <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Life</strong> will recapture the credit<br />
enhancement (subject to state availability); see the prospectus for more<br />
information. Contracts with credit enhancements may have higher fees and<br />
expenses and longer surrender periods than contracts that do not provide<br />
credit enhancements.<br />
Who’s Who<br />
in an Annuity?<br />
It’s important to know who the key parties are in an annuity contract.<br />
There may be one or more owners, annuitants, and beneficiaries.<br />
Owner<br />
Makes the decisions about the annuity, such as how much money<br />
to invest and how it should be allocated. The owner also names the<br />
annuitants and the beneficiaries.<br />
Annuitant<br />
The owner and the annuitant may or may not be the same person.<br />
Either way, it’s the annuitant’s life expectancy that is used to set the<br />
dollar amount of future annuity income.<br />
Beneficiary<br />
If the owner or annuitant dies before income payouts begin, usually, the<br />
beneficiary is the one who may have the right to receive the death benefit.<br />
2
The Power of Tax Deferral<br />
Because a variable annuity<br />
is a tax-deferred investment<br />
for individuals, earnings will<br />
compound without current<br />
income tax. Your money grows<br />
faster because you don’t pay<br />
taxes on earnings until you<br />
actually withdraw them or until<br />
they are distributed to you.<br />
Whether you purchase<br />
your annuity with after-tax<br />
(nonqualified) or pretax<br />
(qualified) dollars, you have<br />
the benefit of tax-deferred<br />
compounding. IRAs and qualified<br />
plans—such as 401(k)s and<br />
403(b)s—are already tax-deferred.<br />
Therefore, an annuity should<br />
be used only to fund an IRA or<br />
qualified plan to benefit from<br />
the annuity’s features other<br />
than tax deferral. These features<br />
include lifetime income, death<br />
benefit options, and the ability<br />
to transfer among investment<br />
options without sales or<br />
withdrawal charges.<br />
This chart illustrates just how effective tax deferral can be. A $100,000<br />
initial investment, compounded at 8% annually over 30 years, grows to<br />
$1,006,266 with taxes deferred. Once taxes are paid on the lump-sum<br />
distribution, the amount is $707,198—still much more than the $478,931<br />
accumulated in a taxable investment over the same time frame.<br />

Taxable Investment<br />
Assumes a 33% ordinary income tax rate, assessed yearly on the taxable investment and at<br />
period-end on the tax-deferred investment. Actual tax rates may vary for different taxpayers<br />
and assets from that illustrated (e.g., capital gains and qualified dividend income). Actual<br />
performance of your investment also will vary. Lower maximum tax rates on capital gains<br />
and dividends would make the investment return for the taxable investment more favorable,<br />
thereby reducing the difference in performance between the investments shown. Consider<br />
your personal investment horizon and income tax brackets, both current and anticipated,<br />
when making an investment decision. Hypothetical returns are not guaranteed and do not<br />
represent performance of any particular investment. If <strong>Pacific</strong> Value charges were included<br />
[1.25% mortality and expense risk (1.40% in New York), 0.15% administrative (0.25% in<br />
New York), and underlying fund expenses, and 9% maximum withdrawal charge], the<br />
tax-deferred performance would be significantly lower.<br />
3
Standard Income<br />
Features<br />
You are automatically entitled to one of the following four standard payout options including some that pay for<br />
life. Choosing appropriately for your retirement strategy is important because once you convert your contract<br />
to an annuity income stream, you cannot switch payout options. Amounts will differ based on the payout<br />
period selected. Usually, the longer the possible payout period, the lower the periodic payment amount.<br />

Periodic payouts for life are guaranteed.<br />
Guaranteed income you can’t outlive with beneficiary protection<br />
Periodic payouts will be made for life and guaranteed for a minimum period<br />
of 7 to 30 years. If you die before the end of the period, your beneficiary<br />
will receive the remaining income. If you live longer than the period certain,<br />
you will continue to receive the income until you die.<br />
Income you and another person can’t outlive<br />
Periodic payouts are guaranteed over your lifetime (as the primary<br />
annuitant) and the lifetime of another person (as the secondary annuitant).<br />
Guaranteed income over time<br />
Guaranteed periodic payouts will be made over a specific period, from<br />
7 to 30 years.<br />
You can determine whether you want a fixed-dollar amount and/or a variable payout amount and how<br />
frequently you’ll receive your payments. If you choose a variable payout, you can continue to be allocated to<br />
a Portfolio Optimization model, the Asset Allocation Strategies, a Custom Model, or individual investment<br />
options—it’s your choice.<br />
4
Tax Advantages<br />
When you begin taking annuity<br />
income payouts under one of the<br />
standard payout options, each<br />
payout is composed of money<br />
that you’ve paid into the annuity<br />
plus any earnings. For qualified<br />
contracts, taxes will generally<br />
be due on the entire payout.<br />
For nonqualified contracts,<br />
taxes will be due only on the<br />
earnings portion. A formula<br />
unique to annuities determines<br />
the nontaxable portion of each<br />
payout until all of the money you<br />
put into the contract has been<br />
taken out. Due to the formula,<br />
nonqualified income payouts are<br />
tax-advantaged—which means<br />
that you spread out your tax<br />
liability over time. The actual tax<br />
impact will depend on the payout<br />
option, term, and age at which<br />
the payout option is selected.<br />
Access to Your Money<br />
Instead of taking standard<br />
payouts, you can continue to<br />
grow your assets and take<br />
withdrawals as needed. You can<br />
withdraw up to 10% of your<br />
remaining investments (purchase<br />
payments into the contract) on<br />
an annual basis, in increments<br />
of at least $500, without any<br />
withdrawal charges. If your<br />
contract is nonqualified, earnings<br />
will be considered withdrawn first<br />
for tax purposes. Keep in mind<br />
that each investment starts its<br />
own seven-year withdrawal<br />
charge schedule.<br />
Annual withdrawals over 10% of remaining investments in the contract may be subject to the<br />
following charges:<br />
“Age” of each investment (in contract years) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8+<br />
Charge per withdrawal 9% 9% 7% 7% 5% 5% 4% 0%<br />
Please note that after the first contract anniversary, charges are waived if the owner or annuitant is diagnosed<br />
with a defined medical condition that results in a life expectancy of 12 months or less. (Subject to state<br />
availability/variations.)<br />
Withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts will be subject to ordinary income tax. If taken<br />
before age 59½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply. Withdrawals will reduce your account value and the<br />
value of certain optional benefits. Withdrawals cease at age 95 (age 90 in New York), and the contract must<br />
be converted to annuity payouts.<br />
5
Death Benefit<br />
Options<br />
<strong>Pacific</strong> Value can protect your beneficiaries with a guaranteed death benefit that may avoid the cost and delays of<br />
probate. There are no medical tests necessary to qualify for these death benefits. You have the flexibility to choose<br />
your beneficiaries and how they receive their payouts. Whatever you choose, you stay in control.<br />
Standard Death Benefit Payout<br />
If the owner is not an annuitant and the owner dies before taking income, the death benefit will equal the<br />
contract value. This is true for both standard and optional death benefit payouts. Otherwise, if the last<br />
annuitant or contract owner (who is the annuitant) dies, the death benefit is the greater of:<br />
1. The contract value.<br />
2. The total of all investments into the contract,<br />
less an adjustment for withdrawals. The<br />
adjustment may be more or less than the actual<br />
amount withdrawn.<br />
Predetermined Beneficiary Payout<br />
If you’re concerned about your beneficiary’s<br />
ability to manage the death benefit distribution,<br />
the predetermined beneficiary payout option<br />
can help. As the owner, you can choose how the<br />
death benefit will be paid out after you die, which<br />
ensures steady income for beneficiaries through<br />
payments over their life expectancies. Payments<br />
can be made monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or<br />
annually. Only the owner can change or cancel<br />
this option at any time.<br />
6
Optional Stepped-up Death Benefit<br />
At the time you buy your annuity, you may elect additional protection with the Stepped-up Death Benefit.<br />
The annual charge is 0.20% of each investment option’s assets.<br />
With step-ups, you can lock in market gains for your beneficiaries. In addition to the guaranteed death benefit<br />
protection, this option offers you the highest step-up, which is the highest contract value on any previous<br />
contract anniversary (prior to the annuitant’s 81 st birthday). Adjustments are made for additional investments<br />
and withdrawals since each anniversary. Withdrawals will reduce the death benefit proportionately.<br />
Ask your financial professional for more information about other optional death benefit guarantees.<br />

This hypothetical example does not reflect a specific investment. Example assumes no<br />
additional investments or withdrawals. Withdrawal charges, mortality and expense risk<br />
charges, administrative fees, and other contract charges were not factored in to this<br />
example. Values would be significantly lower if these fees and charges had been included. A<br />
step-up may not apply, depending on the performance of the contract over time. Although<br />
step-ups cease when the annuitant reaches age 81 , annual charges apply as long as the<br />
Stepped-up Death Benefit is in effect.<br />

The Potential Benefits<br />
of Asset Allocation<br />
Regardless of where you invest, it’s important to diversify among<br />
various asset classes with a wide range of characteristics to help reduce<br />
the risk of loss. Covering 16 asset classes, our broad selection of<br />
investment options may help you achieve your investment goals.<br />
Balance Risk and Reward<br />
Asset classes may perform differently in the same market conditions.<br />
You can potentially offset losses in one asset category with gains in<br />
another through diversification.<br />
• Stocks: Typically offer the highest growth potential with<br />
the highest risk.<br />
• Bonds: Generally have less growth but tend to be more<br />
stable than stocks.<br />
• Cash: Has low, stable returns—the biggest risk is keeping<br />
pace with inflation.<br />
Drive Portfolio Performance<br />
Your portfolio’s performance is based on how well you allocate<br />
among asset classes. Only 8.5% of the variability of your portfolio’s<br />
performance is based on when you get into the market and which<br />
asset classes you choose.<br />
When it comes to investment performance, choosing how to implement<br />
asset allocation—and sticking with it—can make a significant difference.<br />
Asset allocation is the process of distributing investments among<br />
various classes of investments (e.g., stocks and bonds). It does not<br />
guarantee future results, ensure a profit, or protect against loss.<br />
Inclusion in an asset allocation model does not indicate that an investment option is superior<br />
to any investment option not included in a model.<br />
The American Funds Growth-Income, American Funds Growth, and American Funds Asset<br />
Allocation portfolios of the <strong>Pacific</strong> Select Fund invest their assets in American Funds <strong>Insurance</strong><br />
Series Growth-Income Fund, Growth Fund, and Asset Allocation Fund, respectively (each a<br />
Master Fund). Capital Research and Management <strong>Company</strong> is the investment adviser to the<br />
Master Fund. <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Life</strong> Fund Advisors, LLC (PLFA), is the investment advisor to the <strong>Pacific</strong><br />
Select Fund. PLFA manages certain portfolios directly and also does business under the name<br />
“<strong>Pacific</strong> Asset Management” (PAM), which manages the Fund’s Money Market and High Yield<br />
Bond portfolios under the PAM name.<br />
Although some portfolios may have names or investment objectives that resemble retail<br />
mutual funds managed by the same money manager, these portfolios may not have the same<br />
underlying holdings or performance as the retail mutual funds. Investment results may be<br />
higher or lower.<br />

The Money Market portfolio is not FDIC insured or<br />
guaranteed; its net asset value is not constant and will<br />
change with the value of investments.<br />
High yield bonds have greater credit risk than higher quality bonds. Small-cap, mid-cap, and emerging-growth stocks may be riskier<br />
and more volatile than larger, more established stocks. International investing is subject to currency fluctuations and political changes.<br />
Floating rate loans involve risk of default on interest and principal payments or price changes due to changes in credit quality of the issuer.<br />
The value can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments.<br />
Real estate investments involve risks such as refinancing, economic impact on industry, changes in property values, dependency on<br />
management skills, and risks similar to small company investing. Sector and concentrated portfolios with fewer securities may be subject<br />
to greater price volatility. A fund-of-funds is subject to the risks associated with the underlying funds in which it invests. Exchange-traded<br />
funds (ETFs) are not actively managed and are subject to risks similar to stocks, including those related to short selling and margin<br />
maintenance. Short positions pose a risk because they lose value as a security’s price increases; therefore, the loss on a short sale is<br />
theoretically unlimited. Leverage can increase market exposure and magnify investment risk. The value of the variable investment<br />
options will fluctuate and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Dollar cost averaging (DCA) can be<br />
a convenient way to continuously invest, regardless of changing prices. However, it does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in<br />
declining markets. You should consider your financial ability to continue to invest, even when prices are low. The stated minimum interest<br />
rate is credited on a declining balance as money is transferred out of the DCA Plus Fixed Option. The investment risk and guarantees on<br />
the DCA Plus Fixed Option are assumed by the issuing insurance company, subject to that company’s claims-paying ability.<br />

The<br />
of<br />
Diversification®<br />
Selecting the right mix of investment options can be easy with The Power of Diversification. You have the flexibility<br />
to choose among three asset allocation categories that best fit your investment goals. Money managers manage the<br />
underlying portfolios in which the investment options invest.<br />
1. Use the Portfolio Optimization Service<br />
The industry’s first strategic asset allocation service offered<br />
through variable annuities with a 15-year track record, Portfolio<br />
Optimization offers five different models to match your personal<br />
risk level. The models are constructed and reevaluated periodically<br />
using a rigorous, multistep process.<br />
2. Select an Asset Allocation Strategy<br />
Offered through respected and well-known money managers, these<br />
strategies present a range of asset allocation opportunities with a<br />
focus on global diversification.<br />
3. Create a Custom Model<br />
If you would like to be more actively involved, you can build and<br />
manage your own Custom Model with a mix of asset classes and<br />
managers, within certain guidelines.<br />
Only when you allocate appropriately among one of the three asset<br />
allocation categories above can you access The Power of Choice ® —our<br />
suite of optional benefits to help protect your investments or income for<br />
the future.<br />
10
The Portfolio Optimization<br />
Service<br />
When you enroll in Portfolio Optimization, a strategic asset allocation service, experienced professionals<br />
oversee the models. Ibbotson Associates ® , an independent asset allocation modeling firm, is retained to create<br />
and update the models periodically based on the Nobel Prize-winning modern portfolio theory. Your financial<br />
professional can help determine which model is suited for you, or simply choose one of the five models<br />
based on the investor profile you identify with most. When your contract is and remains 100% allocated to a<br />
Portfolio Optimization model (choose from models A through D), you have access to The Power of Choice.<br />

Optimization investment options and to reallocate your contract value, in accordance with the model you have<br />
selected, because the model may be updated from time to time. This update usually occurs in the month of May.<br />

Create a<br />
Custom Model<br />
If you want more flexibility and are comfortable selecting your own investments, you can create a Custom Model.<br />
Using a blend of investment options, your model can be more heavily weighted in the asset class styles that best<br />
complement your investment strategy, while focusing less on those that may not.<br />
Any way you design it, you have the ability to allocate up to 75% of your contract value in equities with at least<br />
25% in fixed income and cash equivalents.<br />
The eligible investment options are divided among the following investment categories:<br />
A<br />
B<br />
C<br />
D<br />
Fixed-income Portfolios<br />
Domestic Equity Portfolios<br />
International Equity and Sector Portfolios<br />
Asset Allocation Strategies<br />
As long as your Custom Model remains allocated within the required<br />
categories based on the guidelines below, you have the ability to benefit<br />
from The Power of Choice options.<br />
Investment Categories<br />
A, B, C D<br />
Minimum Allocation 25% per category 0% per category<br />
Maximum Allocation 15% per investment option 25% per investment option<br />
Your financial professional can help you create a Custom Model based on your investment objectives and<br />
risk tolerance. Your model will be rebalanced automatically on a quarterly basis to keep your model in line<br />
with your elected allocations. As you move closer toward retirement or even if your individual circumstances<br />
change, you may make tax-free transfers among investment options to adjust your Custom Model. As a<br />
reminder, any transfers made need to comply with the investment guidelines.<br />

The<br />
of<br />
Choice ®<br />
Some investors are looking for<br />
investment growth; others need<br />
protected income. In either case,<br />
shielding investments from market<br />
downturns is critical. For that<br />
reason, <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Life</strong> offers<br />
The Power of Choice optional<br />
benefits for an additional cost.<br />
These options can allow you to<br />
have control of your investment<br />
with the assurance that, even in a<br />
down market, protection is<br />
in place.<br />
Core options are available that<br />
may provide a fundamental<br />
level of protection for your<br />
variable annuity, while our<br />
expanded options can pursue<br />
increased protection and lifetime<br />
income amounts.<br />
A Joint <strong>Life</strong> option also is<br />
available for an additional cost<br />
with some of the optional<br />
benefits. With this option, you<br />
and your spouse are eligible to<br />
receive income that will last both<br />
of your lifetimes. When elected,<br />
the couple must be husband<br />
and wife and be between the<br />
ages of 59½ and 85. Changes<br />
in marital status or the<br />
beneficiary may adversely<br />
affect the Joint <strong>Life</strong> option.<br />
Consult your financial<br />
professional before making<br />
changes to beneficiary<br />
provisions.<br />
Any optional benefit may<br />
be purchased at contract<br />
issue or within 60 days after<br />
contract issue or contract<br />
anniversary. Your contract<br />
must be and remain 100%<br />
allocated appropriately to one<br />
Our<br />
Suite of<br />
Optional<br />
Benefits<br />
of The Power of Diversification<br />
investment options (please see<br />
pages 10–15 for details).<br />
What if your needs change in the<br />
future? If your financial situation<br />
changes, depending on which<br />
optional benefit you choose, you<br />
may be able to exchange it for<br />
another optional benefit. You will<br />
be subject to the price in effect<br />
at the time the new optional<br />
benefit is elected.<br />
Based on your specific investment<br />
objective, you and your financial<br />
professional can determine if one<br />
of The Power of Choice options<br />
is right for you. He or she also<br />
can provide you with more<br />
details on the specific optional<br />
benefits offered by <strong>Pacific</strong> <strong>Life</strong>.<br />
See the prospectus for<br />
more details. All options<br />
are subject to availability<br />
(including state availability).<br />

redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts, including death<br />
benefit payouts, will be subject to ordinary income tax. If withdrawals and other distributions are taken prior to age 59½, a 10% federal tax<br />
penalty may apply. A withdrawal charge also may apply. Withdrawals will reduce the value of the death benefit and any optional benefits.<br />
