Summary Prospectus for New Investors by Investment Company (Form 497VPI)
LiveWell Dynamic Annuity
Summary Prospectus for New Investors
May 1, 2026
This summary prospectus summarizes key features of the LiveWell Dynamic Annuity Contract (the "Contract"), a Flexible Premium Deferred Registered Index Linked Variable Annuity issued by Midland National Life Insurance Company.
Before you invest, you should also review the prospectus for the Contract, which contains more information about the Contract's features, benefits, and risks. You can find this document and other information about the Contract online at https://www.srslivewell.com/individual-investors-da-prospectuses. You can also obtain this information at no cost by calling 1-866-747-3421 or by sending an email request to [email protected].
The Contract is a complex investment and involves risks, including potential loss of principal. You could lose up to 10% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -10% Floor Rate; up to 90% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -10% Buffer Rate; up to 80% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -20% Buffer Rate; up to 70% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -30% Buffer Rate; and up to 60% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -40% Buffer Rate. We reserve the right to remove or substitute the Cycle Investments currently available and to add new Cycle Investment options in the future. If we exercise our right to substitute, the limit on Index losses will not change for so long as that Cycle Investment remains available under the Contract, and the limit on Index gains will not change except from one Cycle Term to the next. If we add new Cycle Investment options, the limits on Index gain and loss offered under the new Cycle Investment may differ from those of the Cycle Investments currently available, perhaps significantly. We guarantee that we will never offer a Cycle Investment with a Floor Rate lower than -60% or a Buffer Rate lower than -2.5% for the life of your Contract. We reserve the right not to offer any Cycle Investments in the future. If we do so, you will be limited to investing in the Subaccounts, which are not tied to the performance of an Index and do not provide any protection against losses. This Contract may not be appropriate for you if you intend to invest solely in the Index-linked Cycle Investments.
The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals could result in surrender charges, negative contract adjustments based on the Fair Value of the Cycle Investments, taxes, and tax penalties. Prior to the Cycle End Date, the Cycle Investment Unit Value is based on the Fair Value, and the Floor Rate and the Buffer Rate do not apply. This means on any day prior to the Cycle End Date if you make a withdrawal (including systematic withdrawals and required minimum distributions), transfer to the Subaccounts, surrender or annuitize the Contract, or if a death benefit becomes payable, your Cycle Investment Value could reflect lower gains and higher losses than on the Cycle End Date and you could lose up to 100% of your principal investment and any earnings. This Contract may not be appropriate for you if you intend or need to make withdrawals prior to the Cycle End Dates.
Our obligations under the Contract are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability.
You may cancel your Contract within 10 days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties, although the amount you receive may reflect negative adjustments based on the Fair Value of the Cycle Investments. In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application or your total contract value. You should review the prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable annuities and registered index-linked annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available at Investor.gov.
NEITHER THE SEC NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THESE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS SUMMARY PROSPECTUS IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

DEFINITIONS
For your convenience, below is a glossary of the special terms we use in this prospectus. These terms are generally capitalized throughout this document.
Accumulation Phase means the period of time from the date you purchase the Contract to the date you apply your Contract Value to an annuity payment option.
Accumulation Unit means the units credited to each Subaccount in the Registered Separate Account before the Maturity Date.
Accumulation Unit Value means the value of an Accumulation Unit of a Subaccount for a Valuation Period.
Accumulation Value means the sum of the amounts you have in the Subaccounts.
Annuitant means the person(s) whose life is used to determine the amount and duration of any annuity payments involving life contingencies. The Annuitant may not be changed during the Annuitant's lifetime. If you elect the Joint and Survivor Income Payment option, the duration of any annuity payment will depend on the life of the Annuitant and the Joint Annuitant.
Annuitization means an election of an annuity payment option.
Annuitize means an election to receive regular income payments from your Contract under one of the annuity payment options. An election to annuitize your Contract is irrevocable. If you elect to annuitize your Contract, you will no longer be able to exercise any liquidity (e.g., withdrawal or surrender) provision that may have previously been available.
Beneficiary means the person(s) to whom a Death Benefit will be paid in the event of the death of an Owner.
Buffer Rate means the rate used to determine the Cycle End Date Unit Value Buffer as described in "Valuation of a Cycle Investment - On the Cycle End Date" later in this Prospectus. It represents the maximum loss due to negative Index performance from which the Owner is protected on a Cycle End Date. The Buffer Rate does not apply before the Cycle End Date.
Business Day means any day the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading. Our Business Day ends when the New York Stock Exchange closes for regular trading, generally 3:00 p.m. Central Time.
Cap Rate means the rate used to determine the Cycle Investment's Unit Value Cap. It represents the maximum potential increase in the Cycle Investment Unit Value for a Cycle Investment on the Cycle End Date for Cycles with a Cap Rate Crediting Type.
Contract Anniversary means the same date in each Contract year as the Issue Date.
Contract Value means the sum of amounts invested in the Cycle Investments and the Subaccounts, plus any amounts in the Default Account.
Contract Value Death Benefit means the standard Death Benefit included under your Contract at no additional charge, which pays your beneficiary your Contract Value. We refer to this as the standard Death Benefit.
Contract Year means a year that starts on the Issue Date or on each Contract Anniversary thereafter.
Crediting Type means the upside investment exposure type associated with a Cycle Investment. We offer two upside investment exposure types: (i) the Cap Rate, (ii) the Participation Rate, and (iii) the Trigger Rate.
Customer Service Center means where you must send correspondence, service or transaction requests, and inquiries. Please note: Premium payments must be sent to P.O. Box 9261, Des Moines, IA 50306-9261. The overnight mailing address is Midland National, 8300 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines, IA 50266-3833. This should only be used for mail delivered via a courier.
Cycle Business Day means any Business Day on which the Cycle Investment Unit Value for a Cycle Investment is determined.
Cycle End Date means the Cycle Business Day on which a Cycle Investment is scheduled to end. Any Cycle End Date will be the Business Day prior to the first or third Thursday of each month, provided such day is a Business Day. If it is not a Business Day, the previous Business Day will be used.
Cycle Investment means an index-linked investment under the Contract that has a specific Cycle Type, Cycle Start Date, and Cycle End Date.
Cycle Investment Unit means the measurement we use to calculate a Cycle Investment Value. Units may only be purchased on the Cycle Start Date.
1
Cycle Investment Unit Value means the value of a Cycle Investment Unit on a Cycle Investment Business Day. The Initial Cycle Investment Unit Value on any Cycle Start Date is $10.00. Prior to the Cycle End Date, the Cycle Investment Unit Value is determined by the Fair Value, and the Floor and Buffer rates do not apply.
Cycle Investment Value means the sum of the amounts you have invested in the Cycle Investments. The value of a Cycle Investment on any Cycle Business Day is equal to the number of Cycle Investment Units multiplied by that day's Cycle Investment Unit Value. We also use this term, in context, to define the amount you have invested in a single Cycle Investment.
Cycle Start Date means the Business Day on which a Cycle Investment is established. Any Cycle Start Date will be the first or third Thursday of each month, provided such day is a Business Day. If it is not a Business Day, the following Business Day will be used.
Cycle Structure means the downside protection type associated with a Cycle Investment. We offer two downside protection types: (i) The Floor Rate, and (ii) the Buffer Rate.
Cycle Term, for any Cycle Investment, means the period from the Cycle Start Date to the Cycle End Date.
Cycle Type means all Cycle Investments having the same Index, Cycle Term, Cycle Structure, Crediting Type and corresponding Floor Rate or Buffer Rate .
Death Benefit means the amount that we will pay to the Beneficiary in the event of the death of an Owner if the Contract is still in force and in the Accumulation phase. The amount of the Death Benefit is based on which death benefit option is elected and determined as of the Business Day that our Customer Service Center receives the required documentation in Good Order.
Default Account means the Fidelity VIP Government Money Market Portfolio - Service Class 2 Subaccount, which is used to hold the following: (i) premium payments designated for a new Cycle Investment(s) upon allocation to the Contract, (ii) proceeds from transfers designated for a new Cycle Investment(s), (iii) proceeds from a maturing Cycle Investment(s) before they are reinvested into a new Cycle Investment, and (iv) proceeds from a maturing Cycle Investment for a discontinued Cycle Investment which we have no instructions or for which the Cycle Investment does not launch.
Fair Value means a value used to determine the Cycle Investment Unit Value on each Business Day during the Cycle Term prior to the Cycle End Date. It is the Fair Value of the Cycle based on the current value of the financial instruments used to calculate the Cycle payout on the Cycle End Date as determined by the independent third party Fair Value Calculation Agent.
Fair Value Calculation Agent means an independent third party with whom the Company contracts to determine the Fair Value of a Cycle Investment during the Cycle Term. Currently, the Fair Value Calculation Agent is S&P Global Market Intelligence. We may use different Fair Value Calculation Agents for different Cycle Investments.
Floor Rate means the rate used to determine the Cycle End Date Unit Value Floor as described in "Valuation of a Cycle Investment -On the Cycle End Date" later in this Prospectus. It represents the maximum potential loss in Cycle Investment Unit Value for a Cycle Investment on the Cycle End Date. The Floor Rate does not apply before the Cycle End Date.
Free Withdrawal Amount means the amount available for withdrawal without incurring a Surrender Charge. During the first Contract Year, the Free Withdrawal Amount is equal to the RMD, if applicable. Beginning the second Contract Year, the Free Withdrawal Amount equals the Remaining Premium payments six years or older (i.e., no longer subject to surrender charges) plus 10% of the Remaining Premium payments less than six years old (i.e., subject to surrender charges) at the beginning of the Contract year, or RMD, if greater. For this purpose, premium payments are considered to have been withdrawn in the order in which they were received (i.e., first in, first out).
General Account means assets we own that are not in a separate account, but rather are held as part of our general assets and are subject to claims of our general creditors.
Good Order means all of the information necessary to process a transaction, as we determine in our discretion. Transaction requests will generally be processed on the Business Day they are received at the Customer Service Center as long as the request is in Good Order. Requests received after 3:00 p.m. Central Time will be considered in good order on the following business day. For more detailed information see "Administrative Procedures."
Income Phase means the period of time from the date you apply your Contract Value to an annuity payment option to the date we make the last annuity payment to you under the option you chose.
Index means the index or exchange-traded fund ("ETF") to which a Cycle Investment is linked.
Index Value means the value of an Index as reported to us by the Index provider.
Initial Cycle Investment Unit Value means the Cycle Investment Unit Value on any Cycle Start Date. The Initial Cycle Investment Unit Value is set as $10.00 for each Cycle on the Cycle Start Date.
2
Investment Options means the investments available under the Contract, which are: (i) the Cycle Investments, each of which is linked to the performance of a specified Index; and (ii) the Subaccounts, which are each a division of our registered Separate Account, each of which, in turn, invests exclusively in one share class of one Investment Portfolio.
Investment Portfolio means a mutual fund portfolio in which a Subaccount invests.
Issue Age means the age of the Owner on the last birthday before the Issue Date. In the case of Joint Owners, Issue Age is based on the age of the oldest Joint Owner. In the case of non-natural owners, Issue Age is based on the age of the Annuitant.
Issue Date means the date the Contract goes into effect.
Maturity Date means either the date, specified in your Contract, on which income payments will begin, or an earlier date that you specify. The earliest possible Maturity Date is the first Contract anniversary, at which time you may annuitize your full Contract Value. The maximum Maturity Date is the Contract anniversary immediately following the Annuitant's 115th birthday.
Owner means the person(s) or entity that is named in the application or on the latest change filed with us who is entitled to exercise all rights and privileges provided in the Contract.
Participation Rate means the rate used to determine the Cycle Investment's Unit Value gain. It represents the portion of positive Index performance, if any, that your Cycle Investment Unit Value will participate in on the Cycle End Date for Cycle Investments with a Participation Rate Crediting Type.
Principal Office means Midland National Life Insurance Company's principal place of business located at 8300 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines, IA 50266. Please note: You must send all correspondence, service or transaction requests, inquiries, and premium payments to our Customer Service Center.
Proportional Cap Rate means the proportion of the Cap Rate used to determine the maximum potential increase in a Cycle Investment Unit Value before the Cycle End Date. For Cycle Investments with a Cap Rate that have a Cycle Start Date prior to November 13, 2023. Cycle Investments that have a Cycle Start Date on or after November 13, 2023 do not include a Proportional Cap Rate. The Proportional Cap Rate is equal to the Cap Rate multiplied by the number of days lapsed during the Cycle Term divided by the number of days in the Cycle Term. The Proportional Cap Rate does not apply if the Cap Rate is unlimited.
Remaining Premium means the premium payments made less any partial withdrawals previously taken and less any surrender charges previously deducted as a result of such partial withdrawals on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
Registered Separate Account means Midland National Life Separate Account C, which receives and invests your premiums that are allocated to, and Contract Value that is transferred to, the Subaccounts. Our Registered Separate Account is divided into Subaccounts. Separate Account C is registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider means the optional Return of Premium Death Benefit available for an additional charge, which pays your beneficiary the greater of (i) your Contract Value or (ii) your total premium payments, adjusted for withdrawals. For more detailed information, see "Death Benefit."
Subaccount means a division of our Registered Separate Account which invests exclusively in one share class of one Investment Portfolio. We may use this term interchangeably with the term "Investment Division."
Surrender Value means the Contract Value on the date of surrender less any applicable surrender charge and state premium tax. This may also be referred to as Cash Surrender Value.
Trigger Point means the minimum Index return used to determine if the Trigger Rate will be credited to your Cycle Investment Unit Value on the Cycle End Date for Cycles with a Trigger Rate Crediting Type. If the Index return is equal to or greater than the Trigger Point on the Cycle End Date, the Cycle Investment Unit Value will be credited with the Trigger Rate. The Trigger Point will be 0% or -20%. See Appendix A - Investment Options Available Under the Contract.
Trigger Rate means the rate that will be credited to your Cycle Investment Unit Value if the Index return is equal to or greater than the Trigger Point on the Cycle End Date for Cycle Investments with a Trigger Rate Crediting Type.
Unit Value Cap means the maximum Cycle Investment Unit Value at any time during the Cycle Term prior to the Cycle End Date for Cycle Investments with a Cap Rate Crediting Type that have a Cycle Start Date prior to November 13, 2023. The Unit Value Cap is the Initial Unit Value times (1 + Proportional Cap Rate). Cycle Investments with a Cap Rate Crediting Type that have a Cycle Start Date on or after November 13, 2023 are no subject to a Proportional Cap Rate and, therefore, do not have a Unit Value Cap.
Valuation Period means the time beginning at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 3:00 p.m., Central Time) on one Business Day and ending at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on the next Business
3
Day. Midland National reserves the right to revise the definition of Valuation Period as needed in accordance with applicable federal securities laws and regulations.
Waiver of Surrender Charge Rider means the optional Waiver of Surrender Charge benefit available for an additional charge, which increases your Free Withdrawal Amount to 100% of your Contract Value. For more detailed information, see "Waiver of Surrender Charge Rider."
Written Notice or Written Request means a notice or request submitted in a written form satisfactory to us, which is signed and dated by the Owner and received by us in Good Order at our Customer Service Center, P.O. Box 9261, Des Moines, IA 50306-9261, or via fax (866) 511-7038. The overnight mailing address is Midland National Customer Service Center, 8300 Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines, IA 50266-3833.
OVERVIEW OF THE MIDLAND LIVEWELL DYNAMIC ANNUITY
Q: What is the Contract, and what is it designed to do?
A: The Midland LiveWell Dynamic Annuity is designed to enable you to accumulate assets through Cycle Investments and Subaccounts of the Registered Separate Account. The Cycle Investments provide returns linked to the performance of a single specified Index. Each Subaccount invests in one share class of an Investment Portfolio.
The Contract can supplement your retirement income by providing a stream of income during the Income Phase. Before you begin income payments, the Contract also provides a standard Contract Value Death Benefit for your designated beneficiaries. The amount of the Death Benefit is based on which death benefit is elected and determined as of the Business Day that our Customer Service Center receives the required documentation in Good Order. In the case of multiple primary beneficiaries, the amount received by each primary beneficiary will be their proportional share of the death benefit.
The Contract may be appropriate if you have a long term investment horizon. It is not intended for people who need to take early or frequent withdrawals or who intend to engage in frequent trading among the Subaccounts. Because of the Surrender Charge (which is in effect for many years), and the possibility of income tax and tax penalties on early withdrawals, the Contract should not be viewed as a short-term investment vehicle. In addition, prior to the Cycle End Date, the Cycle Investment Unit Value will be based on the Fair Value, and the Floor Rate and the Buffer Rate do not apply. For Cycle Investments with a Cap Rate that have a Cycle Start Date prior to November 13, 2023, the Fair Value calculation will also incorporate the Proportional Cap Rate, if applicable.
Cycle Investments that have a Cycle Start Date on or after November 13, 2023 do not include a Proportional Cap Rate.This Fair Value calculation means that before the Cycle End Date, if the Index is performing positively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect lower gains than on the Cycle End Date (which could be further reduced by the Proportional Cap, if applicable), and, if the Index is performing negatively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect higher losses than on the Cycle End Date(because the Floor and Buffer Rates do not apply). If you take a withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date, the number of Cycle Investment Units is reduced by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the Cycle Investment Value (which is based on the Fair Value). This means that if you take a withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date at a time when the Cycle Investment Value is lower than the Cycle Investment Value was on the Cycle Start Date, it will result in a reduction of more Cycle Investment Units than if you waited until the Cycle End Date, and this will always cause your Cycle Investment Value on the Cycle End Date to be lower.
For these reasons, your financial goal in acquiring the Contract should focus on a long-term insurance product, offering the prospect of investment growth.
Q: How do I accumulate assets in the Contract and receive income from the Contract?
A: The Contract has two phases: the Accumulation Phase and the Income Phase.
1. Accumulation Phase
During the Accumulation Phase, subject to certain restrictions, you may apply premium payments to the Contract and allocate the premium payments among available Cycle Investments, each of which provides a return linked to the performance of a specified Index over a specified Cycle Term; and available Subaccounts, each of which invests in an Investment Portfolio which has its own investment strategy, investment adviser, expense ratio and returns.
Additional information about available Cycle Investments and Investment Portfolios offered through the Subaccounts is provided in an appendix to this Prospectus. See APPENDIX A - INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.
A.Cycle Investments
Each Cycle Investment tracks the performance of an Index for a Cycle Term. We will credit gain or loss (i.e.,, positive or negative interest) at the end of the Cycle Term to amounts allocated to a Cycle Investment based, in part, on the performance of the Index. You could lose a significant amount of money if the Index declines in value. The value of your Cycle Investment on any day is calculated by multiplying the Cycle Investment Unit Value for that day by the number of Cycle Investment Units credited to your Contract ("Cycle Investment Value"). The Initial Cycle Investment Unit Value on any Cycle Start Date is $10.00, and we determine the number of Cycle Investment Units initially credited to your Contract by dividing your initial Cycle Investment by the Initial Cycle Investment Unit Value.
4
On the Cycle End Date, we calculate the Cycle Maturity Value. The Cycle Maturity Value is the final Cycle Investment Unit Value for a Cycle Investment on the Cycle End Date. The Cycle Maturity Value is calculated based on the Index's performance over the Cycle Term, which is the difference between the Index Value on the Cycle Start Date and the Index value on the Cycle End Date, subject to the Cap Rate (for a Cycle Investment with a Cap Rate Crediting Type), the Participation Rate (for a Cycle Investment with a Participation Rate Crediting Type) or the Trigger Rate (for a Cycle Investment with a Trigger Rate Crediting Type), and subject to the Floor Rate (for a Cycle Investment with a Floor Rate Cycle Structure) or the Buffer Rate (for a Cycle Investment with a Buffer Rate Cycle Structure).
Protection Against Negative Index Return. Each Cycle Investment provides a type of downside protection ("Cycle Structure"), which limits the negative Index return used in calculating the return on the Cycle Investment credited on the Cycle End Date. The Cycle Structure is either: (i) the maximum loss you will incur due to negative Index performance for the Cycle Term, or the Floor Rate, or (ii) the maximum amount of negative Index performance for the Cycle Term from which the Company will protect you, or the Buffer Rate.
•If a Cycle Investment has a Floor Rate Cycle Structure, you will be protected against loss attributable to negative Index performance in excess of the Floor Rate on the Cycle End Date. Any percentage decline in an Index's performance reduces the Contract Owner's Cycle Maturity Value up to a maximum loss of the Floor Rate. For example, if you invest in a Cycle Investment with a Floor Rate of -10% and the Index decreases by 25%, you will lose 10% on the Cycle End Date.
•If a Cycle Investment has a Buffer Rate Cycle Structure, the Buffer Rate is the amount of the Index's negative performance from which Midland will protect you on the Cycle End Date. You will be subject to any negative Index performance in excess of the Buffer Rate on the Cycle End Date. For example, if you invest in a Cycle Investment with a Buffer Rate of -20% and the Index decreases by 25%, on the Cycle End Date the Company will bear a loss of 5%, the amount of the Index loss that exceeds the Buffer Rate.
•We guarantee that we will never offer a Cycle Investment with a Floor Rate lower than -60% or a Buffer Rate lower than -2.5% for the life of your Contract. We reserve the right not to offer any Cycle Investments in the future. If we do so, you will be limited to investing in the Subaccounts, which are not tied to the performance of an Index and do not provide any protection against losses.
Limits on Positive Index Return. Each Cycle Investment also limits the positive Index return used in calculating the return on the Cycle Investment credited on the Cycle End Date based on its "Crediting Type." The Crediting Types are: (i) the maximum positive rate of return at the end of the Cycle Term for Cycles with a Cap Rate Crediting Type, or the Cap Rate, (ii) the portion of the positive Index performance, if any, for the Cycle Term in which you will participate for Cycles with a Participation Rate Crediting Type, or the Participation Rate, or (iii) the exact positive rate of return that will be credited if the Index Performance is equal to or greater than the Trigger Point, or the Trigger Rate.
•If a Cycle Investment has a Cap Rate Crediting Type, the Cap Rate is the maximum potential increase due to positive Index performance, if any, that the Contract Owner may be credited on the Cycle End Date. The return on a Cycle Investment on the Cycle End Date is limited to the Cap Rate even if the Index performance on the Cycle End Date is higher. For example, if you invest in a Cycle Investment with a Cap Rate of 8%, on the Cycle End Date you will be credited with any Index gain up to 8%. This means that if the Index increases 10%, your rate of return would be limited to 8%, which is the Cap Rate. If the Index increases 5%, your rate of return would be the full 5% because it is below the Cap Rate.
•If a Cycle Investment has a Participation Rate Crediting Type, the Participation Rate is the portion of positive Index performance, if any, that the Contract Owner will participate in on the Cycle End Date. The return on a Cycle Investment is not limited to a maximum amount. For example, if you invest in a Cycle Investment with a Participation Rate of 90%, on the Cycle End Date you will be credited with 90% of any positive Index gain, no matter how high or low the Index gain may be. This means that if the Index increases 10%, your rate of return would be 9%, which is 90% of the Index gain. If the Index increases 5%, your rate of return would be 4.5%, which is 90% of the Index gain.
•If a Cycle Investment has a Trigger Rate Crediting Type, the Trigger Rate is the exact positive return if the Index performance is equal to or greater than the Trigger Point on the Cycle End Date. The Trigger Point will be 0% or -20%. See Appendix A - Investment Options Available Under the Contract. The return on a Cycle Investment on the Cycle End Date is limited to the Trigger Rate even if the Index performance on the Cycle End Date is higher. For example, if you invest in a Cycle Investment with a Trigger Rate of 8% and a Trigger Point of 0% on the Cycle End Date you will be credited 8% if the Index performance is at or above 0%. This means that if the Index increases 10%, your rate of return would be limited to 8%, which is the Trigger Rate. If the Index increases 5%, your rate of return would still be 8% because the Index increase was greater than the Trigger Point. If the Trigger Point is a negative value, your rate of return could be positive even if the Index performance is negative. For example, if you invest in a Cycle Investment with a Trigger Rate of 10% and a Trigger Point of -20% and the Index decreases 10%, your rate of return will be 10% even though the Index return was negative because the Index return was greater than the Trigger Point. If the Index performance is less than the Trigger Point, the return will be 0% or reflect a loss, if applicable after taking into account the Cycle Structure.
•We guarantee that we will never offer a Cycle Investment with a Cap Rate below 2%, a Participation Rate below 5%, or a Trigger Rate less than 2% for the life of your Contract.
B.Subaccounts
5
The available Subaccounts each invest in an Investment Portfolio which has its own investment strategy, investment adviser, expense ratio and returns.
2. Income Phase
During the Income Phase, you may receive annuity payments under the Contract by applying your Contract Value to an annuity payment option. Depending on the income payment option you select, payments may continue for the life of the Annuitant (and the Joint Annuitant, if any) or for a specified period between five and twenty years.
When you elect to annuitize the Contract, your Contract Value will be converted into income payments and you will no longer be able to make withdrawals from the Contract. At this time, the Accumulation Phase will end, and the standard Death Benefit and any optional benefits, including the Return of Premium Death Benefit, you have elected will terminate.
Q: What are the primary features and options of the Contract?
A. Contract Types. The Contract is available for purchase as a Non-Qualified Contract for accounts that do not qualify for special federal tax advantages under the Internal Revenue Code and as a Qualified Contract for retirement accounts that qualify for such tax advantages. The Contract does not offer any additional tax benefits when purchased in a retirement account.
B. Available Investments. You may allocate your Contract Value to one or more Cycle Investments and/or to one or more Subaccounts.
C. Accessing Your Money. You may make a full or partial withdrawal of your Contract Value at any time before the Maturity Date by submitting a written request to our Customer Service Center. You may also submit requests for partial withdrawals by telephone with prior authorization. The Contract permits you to take a certain amount of withdrawals without incurring a Surrender Charge, which we call the "Free Withdrawal Amount." For an additional charge, you can purchase the optional Waiver of Surrender Charge Rider, which allows you to take unlimited withdrawals without incurring a Surrender Charge.
D. Tax Treatment. You may transfer your Contract Value among Investment Options without tax implications. Returns credited to your Contract are generally tax-deferred and are taxed only when (1) you make a partial or full withdrawal; (2) you receive an Annuity Payment under the Contract; or (3) upon payment of the Death Benefit.
E. Death Benefit. Your Contract includes a standard Contract Value Death Benefit payable to your designated beneficiaries. The amount of the Death Benefit will be determined as of the Business Day that our Customer Service Center receives the required documentation in Good Order. For an additional charge, you can purchase the optional Return of Premium Death Benefit Rider, which may increase the amount of money payable to your designated beneficiaries.
F. Additional Features and Services. We make certain optional services available under the Contract at no additional charge:
• The Dollar Cost Averaging Program allows you to systematically transfer a set amount from a Subaccount to any other Subaccount on a regular schedule. This program does not permit Contract Value to be transferred to or from any Cycle Investments.
• The Automatic Rebalancing Program automatically rebalances your Accumulation Value among your selected Subaccounts in order to restore your allocation to the original level. Contract Value allocated to the Cycle Investments cannot participate.
• Systematic Withdrawals enable you to automatically withdraw a portion of your Contract Value at a frequency you select. If you choose to take Systematic Withdrawals from a Cycle Investment prior to the Cycle End Date, if the Index is performing positively, the Fair Value calculation could cause your Cycle Investment Unit Value to reflect lower gains than on the Cycle End Date (which could be further reduced by the Proportional Cap, if applicable), and, if the Index is performing negatively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect higher losses than on the Cycle End Date(because the Floor and Buffer Rates do not apply). If you take a withdrawal, including a Systematic Withdrawal, prior to the Cycle End Date, the number of Cycle Investment Units is reduced by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the Cycle Investment Value (which is based on the Fair Value). This means that if you take a withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date at a time when the Cycle Investment Value is lower than the Cycle Investment Value was on the Cycle Start Date, it will result in a reduction of more Cycle Investment Units than if you waited until the Cycle End Date, and this will always cause your Cycle Investment Value on the Cycle End Date to be lower. You should consult with a financial professional before taking Systematic Withdrawals from the Cycle Investments prior to the Cycle End Date.
Q: How is the value of a Cycle Investment determined prior to the end of a Cycle Term?
You could lose a significant amount of money due to an adjustment for Fair Value if amounts are removed from a Cycle Investment prior to the end of a Cycle Term. On each Business Day, other than the Cycle Start Date and the Cycle End Date, an independent third party (the "Fair Value Calculation Agent") determines the Fair Value for each Cycle Investment based on the economic value of
6
hypothetical financial instruments designed to equal the Cycle Investment value at maturity. We calculate the Cycle Investment Unit Value based on the Fair Value, and the Floor Rate and the Buffer Rate do not apply. For Cycle Investment with a Cap Rate that have a Cycle Start Date prior to November 13, 2023, the Fair Value calculation will also incorporate the Proportional Cap Rate, if applicable. Cycle Investment that have a Cycle Start Date on or after November 13, 2023 do not include a Proportional Cap Rate. This Fair Value calculation means that before the Cycle End Date, if the Index is performing positively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect lower gains (because of the Fair Value calculation), and, if the Index is performing negatively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect higher losses (because the Floor and Buffer Rates do not apply) than on the Cycle End Date. If you take a withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date, the number of Cycle Investment Units is reduced by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the Cycle Investment Value (which is based on the Fair Value). This means that if you take a withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date at a time when the Cycle Investment Value is lower than the Cycle Investment Value was on the Cycle Start Date, it will result in a reduction of more Cycle Investment Units than if you waited until the Cycle End Date, and this will always cause your Cycle Investment Value on the Cycle End Date to be lower. Your Cycle Investment Value is the amount available for withdrawals prior to the Cycle End Date, Free Withdrawal Amounts, Systematic Withdrawals, Required Minimum Distributions, transfers to the Subaccounts, full or partial surrenders of your contract (including exercising your right to cancel the contract), payment of a death benefit or annuitization. You should seek advice from financial and/or tax professionals before investing in the Cycle Investments.

LOCATION IN PROSPECTUS | |||||||||||||
|
Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early
Withdrawals?
|
Yes.
If you withdraw money from your Contract within six years following your last premium payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge of up to 8% of the premium payment being partially or fully withdrawn.
For example, if you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $8,000 on a $100,000 withdrawal. This cost will be greater if there is a negative adjustment based on the Fair Value calculation, or if you also have to pay taxes or tax penalties.
If you withdraw money from a Cycle Investment Option prior to the Cycle End Date, you will receive the Cycle Investment Unit Value. We calculate the Cycle Investment Unit Value based on the Fair Value of the Cycle Investment, which may be lower than your principal invested in the Cycle Investment, and the Floor Rate or the Buffer Rate do not apply. You can lose up to 100% of your principal invested in a Cycle Investment upon withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date due to this Fair Value calculation.
For example, if you allocate $100,000 to a Cycle Investment with a 3-year Cycle Term and later withdraw the entire amount before the 3 years have ended, you could lose up to $100,000 of your investment. This loss will be greater if you also have to pay surrender charges, taxes and tax penalties. The Fair Value calculation applies to all withdrawals from a Cycle Investment prior to the Cycle End Date, Free Withdrawal Amounts, Systematic Withdrawals, Required Minimum Distributions, transfers to the Subaccounts, full or partial surrenders of your contract (including exercising your right to cancel the contract), payment of a death benefit or annuitization. You can obtain the Cycle Investment Unit Values for the Cycle Investments in which you invest by calling (833) 492-0022. This value can fluctuate daily and the current value quoted may differ from the actual Cycle Investment Unit Value at the time of a transaction.

|
Are There Transaction Charges?
|
Yes. In addition to the charges for early withdrawals, we reserve the right to impose a Transfer Fee of $15.00 per transfer on transfers among Subaccounts and between Subaccounts and Cycle Investments in excess of 15 per Contract Year. We are not currently charging this fee. If we charge this fee in the future, we will send you notice at least 10 business days prior to imposing the fee. We will never charge for any transfers of initial or additional premium payments that included allocation instructions to Cycle Investment Options for the next Cycle Start Date.

Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses?
|
Yes.
The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the Investment Options and optional benefits you choose. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you elected.
For the Cycle Investments, there is an implicit ongoing fee to the extent that the investor's participation in Index gains is limited by our use of a Cap Rate, Participation Rate, or Trigger Rate. This means that your returns may be lower than the Index's returns. In return for accepting a limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses. This implicit ongoing fee is not reflected in the tables below.

|
Is There a Risk of Loss from Poor Performance?
|
Yes.
•You can lose money by investing in this Contract, including loss of principal and prior Contract earnings.
•For a Cycle Investment, the maximum amount of loss that you could experience from negative Index performance at the end of a Cycle Term, after taking into account the minimum limits on Index loss currently provided under the Contract, would be: up to 10% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -10% Floor Rate; up to 90% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -10% Buffer Rate; up to 80% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -20% Buffer Rate; up to 70% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -30% Buffer Rate; and up to 60% of your investment in a Cycle Investment with a -40% Buffer Rate.
•The limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Cycle Term to the next; however, we guarantee that we will never offer a Cycle Investment with a Floor Rate lower than -60% or a Buffer Rate lower than -2.5% for the life of your Contract. We reserve the right not to offer any Cycle Investments in the future. If we do so, you will be limited to investing in the Subaccounts, which are not tied to the performance of an Index.

Is This a Short-Term Investment?
|
No.
This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
The benefit of tax deferral means the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon.
Amounts withdrawn may result in surrender charges, a negative adjustment based on the Fair Value to each Cycle Investment's Cycle Investment Value, taxes and tax penalties.
A Surrender Charge applies for up to six years following your last premium payment. The charge will reduce the value of your Contract if you withdraw money during that time.
Prior to the Cycle End Date, the Cycle Investment Unit Value is based on the Fair Value, and the Floor Rate and the Buffer Rate do not apply. For Cycle Investments with a Cap Rate that have a Cycle Start Date prior to November 13, 2023, the Fair Value calculation will also incorporate the Proportional Cap Rate, if applicable. Cycle Investments that have a Cycle Start Date on or after November 13, 2023 do not include a Proportional Cap Rate. This Fair Value calculation means that before the Cycle End Date, if the Index is performing positively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect lower gains than on the Cycle End Date (which could be further reduced by the Proportional Cap, if applicable), and, if the Index is performing negatively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect higher losses than on the Cycle End Date (because the Floor and Buffer Rates do not apply). If you take a withdrawal or transfer prior to the Cycle End Date, the number of Cycle Investment Units is reduced by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the Cycle Investment Value (which is based on the Fair Value). This means that if you take a withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date at a time when the Cycle Investment Value is lower than the Cycle Investment Value was on the Cycle Start Date, it will result in a reduction of more Cycle Investment Units than if you waited until the Cycle End Date, and this will always cause your Cycle Investment Value on the Cycle End Date to be lower.
Your Cycle Investment Value, less any surrender charges, if applicable, is the amount available for withdrawals prior to the Cycle End Date, including Free Withdrawal Amounts, Systematic Withdrawals, Required Minimum Distributions, transfers to the Subaccounts, full or partial surrenders of your contract (including exercising your right to cancel the contract), payment of a death benefit or annuitization.
If you do not provide written instructions directing us to allocate the proceeds of your maturing Cycle Investments to a new Cycle Investment or to the Subaccounts at least one Business Day before the Cycle End Date, we will allocate the proceeds of maturing Cycle Investments to a new Cycle Investment of the same Cycle Type. If such a new Cycle Investment is not available, we will allocate the proceeds to the Default Account.

For Cycle Investments:

|
•The Cap Rate, Participation Rate, or Trigger Rate, as applicable, may limit positive Index returns (i.e., limited upside). This may result in you earning less than the Index return.
|
||||||||||||||
|
For example:
|
||||||||||||||
|
◦For a Cycle Investment with a Cap Rate Crediting Type, if the Index return is 12% and the Cap Rate is 4%, we will credit 4% in interest at the end of the Cycle Term.
|
||||||||||||||
|
◦For a Cycle Investment with a Participation Rate Crediting Type, if the Index return is 12% and the Participation Rate is 90%, we will credit 10.8% in interest at the end of the Cycle Term.
|
||||||||||||||
|
◦For a Cycle Investment with a Trigger Rate Crediting Type, if the Index return is 12%, the Trigger Point is 0%, and the Trigger Rate is 8%, we will credit 8% in interest at the end of the Cycle Term.
|
||||||||||||||
|
•The Buffer Rate or Floor Rate, as applicable, may limit negative Index returns (e.g., limited protection in the case of market decline).
|
||||||||||||||
|
For example:
|
||||||||||||||
|
◦If the Index return is -25% and the Buffer Rate is -10%, we will apply a 15% loss (the amount of negative Index performance that exceeds the Buffer Rate) at the end of the Cycle Term.
|
||||||||||||||
|
◦If the Index change is -25% and the Floor Rate is -10%, we will apply a 10% loss (the amount of negative Index performance up to the Floor Rate) at the end of the Cycle Term.

BUYING THE CONTRACT
Any person wishing to purchase a Contract must submit an application form and an initial premium payment of at least $25,000. For Qualified Contracts purchased through Inherited IRAs, premium payments must be received in the form of direct transfers or rollovers of the interest under the deceased owner's original IRA. For Non-Qualified Stretch Contracts, premium payments must be received in the form of death benefit proceeds from a non-qualified annuity contract through a tax-free exchange pursuant to Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. The sale must take place through a representative who is licensed, registered and authorized to sell the Contract. The maximum Issue Age for the Contract is 85 years. We will only issue Qualified Contracts purchased through an Inherited IRA and Non-Qualified Stretch Contracts if the Waiver of Surrender Charge Rider is elected.
If your application is complete and in Good Order (see "Administrative Procedures"), we will accept or reject it within two Business Days of receipt. If the application is incomplete, we will attempt to complete it within five Business Days. If it is not complete at the end of this period (or cannot be accepted for some other reason), then we will inform you of the reason for the delay and the premium payment will be returned unless you let us keep the premium until the application is complete. Your initial premium is held in a non-interest bearing suspense account (which is part of our General Account and is subject to claims of our general creditors) until your Contract is issued or your premium is refunded.
You may allocate your premium payments among the Subaccounts and/or Cycle Investments available in the Contract. Because Cycle Investments only start on the either the first or third Thursday of each month, any amount of your initial premium payment and any subsequent premium payments that you wish to allocate to an upcoming Cycle Investment will be held in the Default Account until the Cycle Start Date.
We will allocate your initial premium payment according to your instructions when we receive it or accept your application (whichever is later) at our Customer Service Center before the New York Stock Exchange closes for regular trading (generally, 3:00 p.m. Central Time). If we receive your initial premium payment or accept your application (whichever is later) after the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, for investments in the Subaccounts, we will credit Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value determined at the close of the next Valuation Period.
All premium payments that you allocate to any Cycle Investment will be invested in the Default Account until your selected Cycle Start Date. The allocations will move from the Default Account into the corresponding Cycle Investments, if they launch, on the Cycle Start Date. If a Cycle Investment does not launch, the corresponding allocations will remain in the Default Account until you provide us with alternative allocation instructions. Cycle Investments begin on the first or third Thursday of each month. If the first or third Thursday of the month is not a Business Day, the Cycle Investments will launch on the next Business Day. Please note that we must receive premium payments allocated to the Cycle Investments by the close of the Business Day prior to the Cycle Start Date in order for those premiums to be included in a given Cycle launch. Premium payments received after 3:00 p.m. Central Time will remain in the Default Account until the next Cycle Start Date (i.e., the first or third Thursday of the following month).
There may be delays in our receipt of applications that are outside of our control because of the failure of the selling registered representative to forward the application to us promptly, or because of delays in their broker dealer determining that the Contract is suitable for you. Any such delays will affect when your Contract can be issued and when your premium payment is allocated among the Subaccounts and the Cycle Investments.
16
ADDITIONAL PREMIUM PAYMENTS
You may make additional premium payments at any time after the Free Look Period and prior to Annuitization in any amount of $1,000 or more, within certain limits and subject to our right to refuse any premium payments. By current Company practice, we will also accept additional payments via automatic bank draft in amounts of $100 or more per month. Unless you receive approval from us, the maximum amount of premium you may pay into this Contract prior to the Maturity Date is $2,000,000. In addition, an initial or additional premium that would cause the Contract Value or total value of all annuity contracts that you maintain with Midland National to exceed $5,000,000 requires our prior approval. We calculate this limit for each Annuitant or Owner based on all active annuity contracts.
Additional premium payments to Subaccounts will be credited as of the end of the Valuation Period in which they are received by us, in Good Order. Because Cycle Investments only start every first or third Thursday, any amount of your additional premium payments that you wish to allocate to an upcoming Cycle Investment will be invested in the Default Account until your selected Cycle Start Date. The allocations will move from the Default Account into the corresponding Cycle Investments, if they launch, on the Cycle Start Date. If a Cycle Investment does not launch, the corresponding allocations will remain in the Default Account until you provide us with alternative allocation instructions.
Making withdrawals: Accessing the money in your contract
You may withdraw all or part of your Surrender Value by sending a written request to our Customer Service Center in Good Order. The Surrender Value is the Contract Value minus any applicable surrender charge. In some states, a state premium tax charge may also be deducted. Partial withdrawals must be made in amounts of $1,000 or more (except for RMDs and systematic withdrawals described below) and cannot reduce your Contract Value to less than $1,000. If a partial withdrawal results in your Contract Value becoming less than $1,000, then the entire Surrender Value must be withdrawn. A full surrender request, regardless of the Contract Value, must be submitted in writing and accompanied by your Contract. We reserve the right to change this process at any time. For a full surrender, you must send in your Contract with your surrender request or sign a lost Contract statement.
You may request partial withdrawals up to $50,000 via telephone, four times a calendar year per Contract, provided prior written authorization has been received by our Customer Service Center. You will be required to verify personally identifiable information at the time you request a partial withdrawal. If there are joint Owners, both Owners must be on the telephone at the time of request.
Completed surrender or partial withdrawal requests received in Good Order at our Customer Service Center before the New York Stock Exchange closes for regular trading (usually 3:00 p.m. Central Time) are priced at the Accumulation Unit Value and Cycle Investment Unit Value determined at the close of that regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange. If we receive your completed surrender or partial withdrawal request in Good Order after the close of a Valuation Period, we will process the surrender request at the unit value determined at the close of the next Valuation Period.
Unless you specify otherwise, your partial withdrawal will be deducted from all Subaccounts in the same proportion as your Contract Value bears to each Subaccount. If your Accumulation Value is insufficient to fulfill your withdrawal request and your withdrawal request does not specifically instruct us to deduct the withdrawal from the Cycle Investment(s), we will consider the withdrawal request to be not in Good Order and we will not process the withdrawal request.
Withdrawals from Cycle Investments prior to the Cycle End Date is determined by Cycle Investment Unit Value, which is based on the Fair Value, and the Floor Rate and the Buffer Rate do not apply. This Fair Value calculation means that before the Cycle End Date, if the Index is performing positively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect lower gains than on the Cycle End Date, and, if the Index is performing negatively, your Cycle Investment Unit Value could reflect higher losses than on the Cycle End Date (because the Floor and Buffer Rates do not apply). If you take a withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date, the number of Cycle Investment Units is reduced by the same proportion that the withdrawal reduced the Cycle Investment Value (which is based on the Fair Value). This means that if you take a withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date at a time when the Cycle Investment Value is lower than the Cycle Investment Value was on the Cycle Start Date, it will result in a reduction of more Cycle Investment Units than if you waited until the Cycle End Date, and this will always cause your Cycle Investment Value on the Cycle End Date to be lower.
Surrenders and partial withdrawals will generally have Federal income tax consequences that can include income tax penalties and tax withholding. Surrenders and partial withdrawals may be restricted under certain qualified Contracts. You should consult with and rely on your tax advisor before making a surrender or partial withdrawal.
Additional Information about fees
FEE TABLE
The following tables describe the fees, expenses and adjustments that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from an investment option or the Contract. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.
The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from an investment option or the Contract, or transfer Contract Value between investment options. State premium taxes may also be deducted.

1 State premium tax is based on current resident state and varies by state. If applicable in your state, it is generally payable upon full surrender, death, or the Income Payment Start Date.
2 Currently the charge is $0, but we reserve the right to charge $15 per transfer for transfers in excess of 15 per Contract year. If applied, the Transfer Fee would apply both to transfers among Subaccounts and between Subaccounts and Cycle Investments. We will not charge for any transfers of initial or additional premium payments that include allocation instructions to Cycle Investment Options for the next Cycle Start Date.
The next table describes the adjustments, in addition to any transaction expenses, that apply if all or a portion of the Contract Value is removed from an investment option or from the Contract before the expiration of a specified period.

3 If you remove money from a Cycle Investment Option prior to the Cycle End Date, you will receive the Cycle Investment Unit Value. We calculate the Cycle Investment Unit Value based on the Fair Value, and the Floor Rate and Buffer Rate do not apply. In the event of severe market disruption where the value of the financial instruments become worthless, this means you can lose up to 100% of your principal invested in a Cycle Investment upon withdrawal prior to the Cycle End Date. Your Cycle Investment Value, which is based on the Cycle Investment Unit Value, is the amount available for withdrawals prior to the Cycle End Date, including Systematic Withdrawals, Required Minimum Distributions, transfers to the Subaccounts, full or partial surrenders of your Contract (including exercising your right to cancel the Contract), payment of a death benefit or annuitization. See "Valuation of a Cycle Investment" later in this Prospectus, as well as "Fair Value Formulas for Cycle Investments" in the Statement of Additional Information.
The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the Contract (not including Investment Portfolio company fees and expenses).
If you choose to purchase an optional benefit, you will pay additional charges, as shown below.

1 This charge is a percentage of the Accumulation Value in each Subaccount including the Default Account. It does not apply to Contract Value allocated to the Cycle Investments. This annual charge is deducted daily. The maximum charges are guaranteed for the life of the Contract. We call this charge the Separate Account Annual Expense charge later in this prospectus.
2 This charge is a percentage of the Contract Value. It applies pro-rata against all Investment Options, including the Cycle Investment Value and amounts held in the Default Account. This annual charge is deducted quarterly.
In addition to the fees described above, we limit the amount you can earn on the Cycle Investments. This means your returns may be lower than the Index's returns. In return for accepting this limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses.
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the Investment Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time you own the Contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future. A complete list of Investment Portfolios available under the Contract, including the Default Account, as well as their annual expenses, may be found in "APPENDIX A - INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT" at the back of this Prospectus.

1 The investment portfolio expenses used to prepare this table were provided to us by the fund company(ies). We have not independently verified such information of unaffiliated investment portfolio options. The expenses are those incurred as of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. Current or future expenses may be higher or lower than those shown. These charges do not apply to Contract Value allocated to the Cycle Investments.
Expense Examples
This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Subaccounts with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer variable options. These costs include transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses, and Annual Investment Portfolio Expenses.
The Example assumes all Contract Value is allocated to the Subaccounts. The Example does not reflect any contract adjustment based on the Fair Value of the Cycle Investments. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in Cycle Investments.
The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Subaccounts for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive combination of Annual Investment Portfolio Expenses, and optional benefits available for an additional charge. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
(1) If you surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | ||||||||
| $9,932 | $13,784 | $17,899 | $30,318 | ||||||||
(2) If you annuitize your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | ||||||||
| $2,732 | $8,384 | $14,299 | $30,318 | ||||||||
(3) If you do NOT surrender or annuitize your Contract:
| 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | ||||||||
| $2,732 | $8,384 | $14,299 | $30,318 | ||||||||
These examples should not be considered a representation of past or future expenses. Actual expenses may be greater or lower than those shown. The assumed 5% annual rate of return is purely hypothetical; past or future returns may be greater or less than the assumed hypothetical return.

CYCLE INVESTMENTS
The following is a list of Cycle Investments currently available under the Contract. We may change the features of the Cycle Investments listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains), offer new Cycle Investments and terminate existing Cycle Investments. We will provide you with written notice before making any changes other than changes to current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at https://www.srslivewell.com/variable-annuities. The availability of investment options may vary depending on the broker-dealer through which the Contract is sold. See APPENDIX D: FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY VARIATIONS.
Note: If amounts are removed from a Cycle Investment before the end of its Cycle Term, we will apply an adjustment based on the Fair Value of the Cycle Investment. This may result in a significant reduction in your Cycle Investment Value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you waited until the end of the Cycle Term.
See THE CYCLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Features of a Cycle Investment in the prospectus for a description of the features of the Cycle Investments. See THE CYCLE INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Valuation of a Cycle Investment in the prospectus for more information about adjustments for Fair Value.

1 This Index is a "price return index," not a "total return index," and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. This will reduce the Index return and may cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index.
2 This Index does not include dividends or distributions paid on the securities composing the Index and reflects a daily deduction of 1% per annum, which will reduce the Index return and cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the underlying securities composing the Index.
3 This Index has leveraged exposure to an "Underlying Benchmark" equal to the return of the S&P 500 Total Return Index less the federal funds rate and less a "Spread" (each expressed as an annual percentage deducted daily). Currently, the Spread is a fixed rate of 0.50%. Effective July 1, 2026, the Spread will be a floating rate based on the Adjusted Interest Rate (AIR) S&P 500 Total Return Index Futures contracts less 0.25%, which is intended to better reflect changing market conditions. As of December 31, 2025, the current federal funds rate was 3.64% and the floating rate based on AIR S&P 500 Total Return Index Futures contracts was 0.63%. Both of these rates will fluctuate over time and may be higher or lower in the future.The Index also reflects the deduction of a 1% decrement per annum. The Index's exposure to the Underlying Benchmark (which includes the deduction of the federal funds rate and the Spread from the performance of the Underlying
A-3
Index) and the Index's deduction of the 1% decrement will reduce the Index return and cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the underlying securities composing the Index.
4 This Index reflects dividends paid on the underlying securities, and applies a 0.18% expense ratio. The expense ratio will reduce the Index performance and cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the underlying securities composing the Index.
Not all Cycle Investments are available in all states. See APPENDIX B - STATE VARIATIONS.
Each Cycle Investment's limit on Index losses is guaranteed not to change for so long as that Cycle Investment remains available under the Contract. However, we reserve the right to add and remove Cycle Investments as available investment options. As such, the limits on Index loss offered under the Contract may change from one Cycle Term to the next. We guarantee that we will never offer a Cycle Investment with a Floor Rate lower than -60% or a Buffer Rate lower than -2.5% for the life of your Contract. We reserve the right not to offer any Cycle Investments in the future. If we do so, you will be limited to investing in the Subaccounts, which are not tied to the performance of an Index and do not provide any protection against losses.
We guarantee that we will never offer a Cycle Investment with a Cap Rate below 2.5%, a Participation Rate below 10%, or a Trigger Rate below 2% for the life of your Contract. We reserve the right to offer Cycle Investments with different types of limits on Index gains.
