An annuity is a long-term financial vehicle designed for retirement. An insurance company accepts premiums and provides future income or a lump-sum amount to the contract owner by contractual agreement.

At the end of the 7-year guarantee period, surrender charges end and the contract enters an annually declared-rate period. The owner may:

• Continue the contract at annually declared renewal rates

• Annuitize under any available settlement option

• Take withdrawals or fully surrender the contract

(Passport MYGA does not use a 30-day renewal window or automatic term re-entry like Skyline; it converts to annual declared rates after the 7-year term.)

The surrender value equals the account value minus any applicable surrender charges and is never less than the minimum nonforfeiture benefit as required by state law.
