Lipper Services are not affiliated with <strong>Security</strong> Distributors, Inc. its subsidiaries and<br />

This investment option may be available to you through the purchase of a variable<br />

annuity OR through a retirement plan or individual retirement account.<br />

Variable Annuity Contract Disclosures<br />

This fact sheet must be accompanied by the variable annuity performance report<br />

for the most recent calendar quarter end which contains standardized performance<br />

information at the variable annuity contract level.<br />

Certain of these annual returns pre-date the offering of the fund as an underlying<br />

investment option in the variable annuity. Pre-dated performance is hypothetical.<br />

Annuities are long-term investments suitable for retirement planning. Investing in<br />

variable annuities involves risk and there is no guarantee of investment results.<br />

Variable annuities are issued by <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Benefit</strong> Life Insurance Company (SBL) in all<br />

states except New York. In New York, variable annuities are issued by First <strong>Security</strong><br />

<strong>Benefit</strong> Life Insurance and Annuity Company of New York (FSBL), Rye Brook, New<br />

York. SBL is not authorized in the state of New York and does not transact insurance<br />

business in New York.<br />

Retirement Plan or Individual Retirement Account Disclosures (Retirement<br />

Program)<br />

Sales loads are waived by the funds for purchases made through such programs. If<br />

you purchased the fund outside your Retirement Program, you may be subject to<br />

these charges. Sales charges would reduce the performance quoted.<br />

You may also be subject to certain account level charges. The performance numbers<br />

quoted do not reflect the account charges of your Retirement Program, and would be<br />

lower if such charges were deducted. Refer to your retirement plan documentation or<br />

your individual account agreement for account level charges.<br />

Investing in mutual funds involves risk, including loss of principal, and there is no<br />

guarantee of investment results.<br />

General Disclosures<br />

Triple-digit or high double-digit performance is attributable, in part, to unusually<br />

favorable market conditions and may not be repeated or consistently achieved in the<br />

future. Recent market volatility may affect performance so that current performance<br />

may be lower. Performance, especially for short time periods, should not be the sole<br />

factor in making your investment decisions.<br />

You should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges<br />

and expenses of the Variable Annuity and its underlying investment options<br />

before investing. You may obtain a prospectus for the variable annuity and<br />

prospectuses or summary prospectuses (if available) for the underlying<br />

investment options by calling our Service Center at 1-800-888-2461. You<br />

should read the prospectuses carefully before investing. Investing in variable<br />

annuities involves risk and there is no guarantee of investment results.<br />
