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 />
