The information in this section is a summary of certain Policy features that have changed since the Disclosure Notice dated April 28, 2025. This does not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since you purchased your Policy.
On November 6, 2025, Brighthouse Financial, Inc. ("BHF") and Aquarian Capital LLC ("Aquarian") announced that they had entered into a definitive agreement under which an affiliate of Aquarian will acquire BHF. This transaction is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.

FEES AND EXPENSES

Prospectus
Charges for Early
Withdrawals
If, during the first nine Policy Years, or during the first nine Policy Years
following an increase in Stated Amount, you fully or partially surrender
your Policy, reduce the Stated Amount, or make a change in Death
Benefit option that reduces the Stated Amount, or your Policy lapses,
then we will deduct a surrender charge from the Cash Value. The
maximum surrender charge will not be greater than 7.5% of the
Premium Payments made within the two prior Policy Years. For example,
if you made a Premium Payment of $100,000 and you surrendered the
Policy within the following two Policy Years, you could pay a surrender
charge of up to $7,500.00.

RISKS
Risks Associated
with Investment
Options
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment
performance and can vary depending on the performance of the
investment options available under the Policy (e.g., the Funds). Each
investment option will have its own unique risks, and you should review
these investment options before making an investment decision.

Company Risks
An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to the
Company, including that any obligations, guarantees or benefits are
subject to the Company's claims-paying ability. More information about
the Company, including its financial strength ratings, is available upon

Contract Lapse
In general, in any month that your Policy's Cash Surrender Value is not
large enough to cover the Monthly Deduction Amount, your Policy will
be in default, and may lapse. Your Policy's Cash Surrender Value can be
impacted by poor investment performance of the Funds you select. Your
Policy may also lapse if Policy loans plus accrued interest exceed the
Policy's Cash Value less the surrender charge. Additionally, insufficient
Premium Payments, withdrawals and Policy charges (including increases
in those charges) could cause the Policy to lapse and you will no longer
have insurance coverage. If your Policy has lapsed, you may reinstate it
within three years from the date the last Monthly Deduction Amount was
paid. Reinstatement in all cases requires payment of certain charges
described in the Policy and usually requires evidence of insurability that
is satisfactory to us. A Death Benefit will not be paid if the Policy has
lapsed.

may stop offering an optional benefit at any time.

Tax Implications
You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax

Policy is purchased through a tax-qualified plan. Withdrawals will be
subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.

Considerations
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Investment
Professional
Compensation
All firms selling the Policy receive commissions. The portion of the
commission payments that selling firms pass on to their sales
representatives is determined in accordance with their internal
compensation programs. A selling firm, or a sales representative of a
selling firm, may receive different compensation for selling one product
over another and may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend
the Policy over another investment. Apart from the payment of
commissions, selling firms may receive additional compensation,
including marketing allowances, introduction fees, persistency
payments, preferred status fees and industry conference fees.

Compensation

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
Exchanges
In general, sales representatives may have a financial incentive to offer
you a new insurance policy in place of the Policy you already own. You
should exchange your Policy only 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 the existing Policy.
