New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation
Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life Insurance Policies
UPDATING SUMMARY PROSPECTUS FOR EXISTING INVESTORS
May 1, 2026
A flexible premium variable universal life insurance contract offered to individuals under NYLIAC Variable Universal Life Separate Account-I
This summary prospectus summarizes significant changes to the NYLIAC Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life ("Flex VUL") policy, an individual, flexible premium variable universal life insurance policy issued by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation ("NYLIAC"), since May 1, 2025, the effective date of last year's update to the prospectus for this policy. The prospectus contains more information about the policy, including its features, benefits and risks. You can find the current prospectus and other information about the policy online at https://dfinview.com/NewYorkLife/PUFT/flexvul, or (also at no cost) by calling us at 1-800-598-2019 or by sending an email request to [email protected] or through the New York Life Insurance Company Mobile Application ("mobile application"), available for download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Additional information about certain investment products, including variable life insurance, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available online at Investor.gov.
The Flex VUL policy insures one person and pays a benefit upon that person's death. Policies have risks including risk of loss of the amount invested. Policies are not deposits of, or guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank and are not federally insured by the FDIC, Federal Reserve Board, or any other agency.
The policy is no longer offered for sale. However, we will still accept additional premiums under existing policies. The words "we," "our" or "us" refer to NYLIAC and the words "you" or "your" refer to the policyowner.
The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has not approved or disapproved of this security or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this summary prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Definitions
The references in the definitions below, for more information, are to sections of the full statutory prospectus.
More detailed information concerning certain terms defined below is provided in "Definitions" in the full statutory prospectus.
Cash Surrender Value: The Cash Value, less any surrender charges that may apply, any deferred contract charge applicable during the first policy year, and any outstanding loans and accrued loan interest. This is the amount we will pay you if you surrender your policy. See "Surrenders" for more information.
Cash Value: The total value of your policy's accumulation units in the Separate Account Value, plus any amount in the Fixed Account.
Cost of Insurance Charge: A charge that is deducted from your policy's Cash Value on each Monthly Deduction Day for the cost of providing a Life Insurance Benefit to you. The initial rate of the monthly Cost of Insurance Charge is based upon our underwriting of your policy. Your Cost of Insurance Charge may vary from month to month depending on cost of insurance rates and the Net Amount at Risk. For more information, please see "Charges Associated with the Policy-Cost of Insurance Charge".
Eligible Portfolios ("Portfolios"): The mutual fund portfolios of the Funds that are available for investment through the Investment Divisions of the Separate Account.
Face Amount: The base face amount, plus the face amount of any term insurance on other covered insured riders in effect, plus or minus any changes made to the face amount of any riders. The base face amount is the initial face amount shown on your Policy Data Page, plus or minus any changes made to the initial face amount.
Fixed Account: An account we credit with a fixed interest rate that we declare periodically in advance, in our sole discretion. This rate can change, but will never be less than the Guaranteed Minimum Interest Rate. The Fixed Account is supported by assets in NYLIAC's General Account. The amount in the Fixed Account earns interest which accrues and is credited on a daily basis.
Flat Extra: An additional charge that may be assessed and added to the monthly cost of insurance charge to cover an additional risk on the Insured.
General Account: An account representing all of NYLIAC's assets, liabilities, capital and surplus, income, gains, or losses that are not included in the Separate Account or any other separate account. These assets are subject to the claims of our general creditors. We allocate any Net Premium payments you make during the free look period to this account.
Good Order: A request or transaction is in Good Order if it complies with our administrative procedures, and the required information is complete and correct. This means the actual receipt by us of your request and any instructions related to the request in writing (or, if permitted, by telephone or electronic means), along with all forms, and any other information or documentation necessary to complete the transaction. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular request or transaction is in Good Order. We may reject or delay a request or transaction if the information needed is not in Good Order. If you have any questions, you should contact us or your registered representative before submitting a form or request.
Investment Division: A division of the Separate Account. Each Investment Division invests exclusively in shares of a specified Eligible Portfolio.
Investment Options: Policy investment options that consist of the Investment Divisions and the Fixed Account.
Issue Date: The date we issue the policy as specified on the Policy Data Page.
Life Insurance Benefit: The benefit calculated under the Life Insurance Benefit Option you have chosen.
Monthly Deduction Day: The date that we deduct your monthly contract charge, cost of insurance charge, and any rider charges from your policy's Cash Value. The first Monthly Deduction Day will be the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date on or following the Issue Date. However, if we have not received your initial premium payment as of the Issue Date, the first Monthly Deduction Day will be the monthly anniversary of the Policy Date on or following the date
1
we receive the initial premium payment in Good Order. If a Monthly Deduction Day falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Monthly Deduction Charges will be deducted on the following Business Day.
Mortality and Expense Risk: The risk that the group of lives we have insured under our policies will not live as long as we expect (mortality risk); and the risk that the cost of issuing and administering the policies will be greater than we have estimated (expense risk).
Net Amount at Risk: The difference between (i) the Life Insurance Benefit divided by 1.00327, and (ii) the policy's Cash Value. See "Deductions from Cash Value-Charge for Cost of Insurance Protection" for more information.
Net Cash Value: The Cash Value, less any unpaid loans and accrued interest, and less the smaller of (a) any surrender charges that may apply at time of lapse or (b) the sum of any partial withdrawals, unpaid loans and accrued interest.
Net Premium: The balance of a premium payment after applicable sales expense, state premium tax, and federal tax charges have been deducted.
NYLIAC: New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation.
Policy: Your NYLIAC Flexible Premium Variable Universal Life policy.
Policy Data Page: Page 2 of your policy. The Policy Data Page contains your policy's specifications.
Policy Date: The date we use as the starting point for determining Policy Years and Monthly Deduction Days. Your Policy Date will be the same as your Issue Date, unless you request otherwise. You can find your Policy Date on the Policy Data Page.
Policy Proceeds: The benefit we will pay to your beneficiary when we receive proof that the insured died while the policy is in effect. It is equal to the Life Insurance Benefit, plus any additional benefits under any riders you have chosen, minus any outstanding loans (including any accrued loan interest).
Policy Year: The twelve-month period starting on the Policy Date, and each twelve-month period thereafter.
Separate Account: NYLIAC Variable Universal Life Separate Account-I, a segregated asset account NYLIAC established to receive and invest Net Premiums that are allocated to the Investment Divisions. The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts that correspond to the Investment Divisions.
Separate Account Value: An amount equal to the Cash Value allocated to the Separate Account.
Surrender Charge Guideline Annual Premium: Same as Guideline Annual Premium, except that the calculation assumes 5% interest rate, Life Insurance Benefit Option 1, and assumes that there are no riders. It is used for purposes of calculating surrender charges.
VPSC: The Variable Products Service Center. You may contact the VPSC toll-free by calling 1-800-598-2019, or by sending correspondence to the addresses listed on the first page of this prospectus (or any other address we indicate to you in writing). See "Management and Organization-How to Reach Us for Policy Services" for more information.

Important Information You Should Consider About the policy
|
FEES AND EXPENSES
|
|||
|
Please refer to your Policy Specifications Page for information about the
guaranteed maximum fees you will pay each year based on the options you
have selected.
|
|||
|
Charges for Early
Withdrawals
|
If you fully surrender or withdraw money from your policy within a maximum of 15
Face Amount Increase),
you may be assessed a maximum surrender charge equal to the applicable
percentage for your Policy Year multiplied by 50% of the Surrender Charge Guideline
Premium for issue ages 0 to 66. For issue ages 67 or older, the maximum surrender
charge is equal to the applicable percentage for your Policy Year multiplied by 25% of
the Surrender Charge Guideline Annual Premium.
For example, if you were under age 66 when the policy was issued and you withdraw
$100,000 during the first 15 years after your policy purchase (and your total
premiums paid were $100,000 and your Surrender Charge Guideline Annual
Premium was $10,000), then you could be assessed a charge of up to $5,000 on the
amount withdrawn.
For more detailed information, see Table of Fees and Expenses; Charges Associated
- Surrender Charge with the Policy.
|
||
|
Transaction Charges
|
In addition to surrender charges, you may be charged for other transactions. These
include sales expense charges and tax charges (deducted from each premium
payment), partial withdrawal charges, and charges if you exercise the Living
Benefits Rider.
We also reserve the right to impose transfer charges (when you transfer Cash Value
between Investment Options), and a returned payment (bad check) fee, but we
currently do not impose these charges.
For more detailed information, see Table of Fees and Expenses; Charges Associated
with the Policy - Deductions From Premium Payments; Charges Associated with the
Policy - Transaction Charges.
|
||
|
Ongoing Fees and
Expenses (annual charges)
|
In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the policy
is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses. Some of these charges, such as the
monthly Cost of Insurance Charge, Flat Extra charges, and certain rider charges
(for optional benefits), are set based on individual characteristics of the insured (e.g.,
age, sex, and rating classification). Other ongoing charges include the monthly
contract charge (whose calculation differs by series), the Mortality and Expense
Risk charge, the Separate Account Administrative charge, and loan interest.
Please refer to your Policy Data Page for rates and the specific fees applicable to
your policy.
Investors will also bear expenses associated with the Eligible Portfolios , as shown in
the following table, which shows the minimum and maximum total operating
expenses deducted from Fund assets (before any fee waiver or expense
reimbursement) during the year ended December 31, 2025 and which may change
from year to year.

Risks
|
|
Risk of Loss
|
You can lose money by investing in this policy, including loss of your premiums
(principal).
For more detailed information, see Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the
Policy; Management and Organization - About the Separate Account.
|
|
Not a Short-Term
Investment
|
This policy is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an
investor who needs ready access to cash.
The policy is designed to provide a Life Insurance Benefit or to help meet other
long-term financial objectives. Substantial fees, expenses, and tax implications
generally make variable life insurance unsuitable as a short-term savings vehicle.
Additionally, the policy may limit your ability to withdraw a portion of the Cash Value
through partial withdrawals or loans.
For more detailed information, see Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the
Policy.
|
|
Risks Associated with
Investment Options
|
•An investment in this policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance of
the Eligible Portfolios you choose, and the value of an investment can vary
depending on the performance of the Eligible Portfolios.
•Each investment option (the Eligible Portfolios and the Fixed Account) has its own
unique risks. The performance of the Eligible Portfolios will vary, and some are
riskier than others.
•A discussion of the risks of allocating your premiums or Cash Value to one or more
Eligible Portfolios can be found in the prospectuses for the Eligible Portfolios, which
are available at https://dfinview.com/NewYorkLife/PUFT/flexvul. You should review
the prospectuses for the Eligible Portfolios before making an investment decision.
For more detailed information, see Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the
Policy; Management and Organization - About the Separate Account.
|
|
Insurance Company Risks
|
An investment in the policy is subject to the risks related to New York Life Insurance
and Annuity Corporation (NYLIAC), including:
•Any obligations (including the Fixed Account), guarantees, and benefits of the
policy are subject to the claims-paying ability and financial strength of NYLIAC.
•There are risks relating to NYLIAC's administration of the policy, including
cybersecurity and infectious disease outbreak risks.
•If NYLIAC experiences financial distress, it may not be able to meet its obligations
to you. More information about NYLIAC, including its financial strength ratings, is
available upon request from NYLIAC at 1-800-598-2019.
For more detailed information, see Management and Organization; Financial
Statements; Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy - Insurance
Company Risks; Risks Affecting our Administration of Your Policy.
|
5
|
Contract Lapse
|
Your policy can lapse even if you pay all of the planned premiums on time. When a
policy lapses, it has no value, and no benefits are paid upon the death of the insured.
You may also lose the principal invested. A policy can lapse if the Net Cash Value is
insufficient to pay the monthly deductions and other charges. This can happen due
to insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, unpaid
loans or loan interest, and policy charges (including increases in those charges). The
larger a policy loan becomes relative to the policy's Net Cash Value, the greater the
risk that the policy's Net Cash Value will not be sufficient to support the policy's
charges and expenses, including any loan interest due, and the greater the risk of the
policy lapsing. A policy lapse may have tax consequences.
A policy that has a Net Cash Value just sufficient to cover monthly deductions and
other charges, or that is otherwise minimally funded, is less likely to maintain its Net
Cash Value due to market fluctuation and other performance related risks. To
continue to keep your policy in force when the no-lapse guarantee period ends,
premium payments significantly higher than the premium necessary to maintain the
no-lapse guarantee benefit may be required.
If the policy lapses, there are costs and premium requirements associated with
reinstatement of the policy.
For more detailed information, see Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the
Policy; Termination and Reinstatement; Premiums - Risk of Minimally Funded
Policies.

|
Restrictions
|
|
Investment Options
|
•You can select a maximum of 21 investment options among the available
Investment Divisions that invest in the Eligible Portfolios and the Fixed Account.
•The minimum amount that you can transfer is the lesser of (i) $500 or (ii) the total
value of the Accumulation Units in the Investment Division from which the transfer
is being made. The maximum amount that you can transfer out of the Fixed
Account in any Policy Year is the greater of (a) 20% of the amount in the Fixed
Account at the beginning of the Policy Year, or (b) $5,000.
•NYLIAC reserves the right to remove or substitute any Eligible Portfolios (portfolio
companies) as Investment Options that are available under the policy.
•We set limits on the number of electronic or telephonic transfer requests that can
be made in any period. If these limits are exceeded, any subsequent transfer
request must be made by U.S., mail overnight courier.
•In addition, we may limit your ability to make transfers involving the Investment
Divisions if a transfer may disadvantage or potentially harm or hurt the rights of
other policyowners in order to prevent market timing. We will also reject, reverse, or
modify a transfer request if for any reason any of the Eligible Portfolios do not
accept the purchase of its shares.
For more detailed information, see Description of the Policy - Investment Divisions
and the Fixed Account; Description of the Policy - Transfers Among Investment
Divisions and the Fixed Account; Description of the Policy - Limits on Transfers; and
Appendix: Eligible Portfolios Available under the Policy for our list of available Eligible
Portfolios.

or other rights under the policy.

•Some optional benefits may have tax implications.
•Some optional benefits may not be used together.

For more detailed information, see Description of the Policy-Additional Benefits
Through Riders and Options.
|
|
Taxes
|
|
Tax Implications
|
•Consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in
and payments received under this policy.
•If you purchase the policy through a tax-qualified plan, you do not get any
additional tax benefit.
•Earnings on your policy (if any) are taxed when you withdraw them (or if a policy
loan is not repaid), at ordinary income tax rates, and may be subject to a tax
penalty before age 59 ½.
For more detailed information, see Summary of Principal Risks of Investing in the
Policy-Tax Risks; Federal Income Tax Considerations.
|
|
Conflicts of Interest
|
|
Investment Professional
Compensation
|
Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling this policy to you,
in the form of commissions, asset-based compensation, allowances for expenses,
and other compensation programs, and because NYLIAC may share the revenue it
earns on this policy with the professional's firm. (Your investment professional may be
your registered representative, broker, investment adviser, insurance agent, or
someone else). For these reasons, these investment professionals may have a
financial incentive to recommend this policy over another policy or investment.
For more detailed information, see Charges Associated with the
Policy-Commissions Paid to Dealers; Distribution and Compensation Arrangements.
|
|
Exchanges
|
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new
policy in place of the one you own. You should only exchange your policy if you
determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is
preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own your
existing policy.
For more detailed information, see Tax-Free "Section 1035" Insurance Policy
Exchanges.
