Prospectus dated May 1, 2026

Lincoln Benefit Life Company ("LBL," the "Company," "Lincoln Benefit," "we," "us," and "our") issues the market value adjusted Fixed Account Options (the "Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option(s)") described in this prospectus. The Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options are available only under the following variable annuity contracts that we offer: The LBL Consultant I Variable Annuities ("Consultant I"), the LBL Consultant II Variable Annuities ("Consultant II"), and the LBL Premier Planner Variable Annuities ("Premier Planner," and collectively with Consultant I and Consultant II, the "Contracts," and each a "Contract"). The Contracts are individual deferred variable annuity contracts issued by Lincoln Benefit Life Company through Lincoln Benefit Life Company Variable Annuity Separate Account (the "Variable Account"). The Contracts are designed to aid in long-term financial planning. Under the Contracts, you invest your purchase payments in the investment options available under the Contracts, which generally include the sub-accounts of the Variable Account and the fixed account options, which are the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option and the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option. None of the Contracts are currently offered for new sales. However, under outstanding Contracts you may be able to make additional purchase payments, and allocate additional purchase payments or transfer amounts of Contract Value to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option.

This prospectus ("Prospectus") describes the material features of the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option available under your Contract. This Prospectus does not describe the material feature of the Contracts or the investment options available under the Contracts other than the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. Please read this Prospectus in conjunction with the most recent prospectus for your variable annuity contract. The Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option credits a specified rate of interest daily at an annual rate we determine for the duration of each selected Guarantee Period. We may offer Guarantee Periods ranging from one to ten years in length. For a list of the Guarantee Periods currently available, please see "Appendix A"to this Prospectus.

The description of the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options' material features are current as of the date of this Prospectus. If material provisions of the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options are changed after the date of this Prospectus, those changes will be described in a supplement to this Prospectus and the supplement will become a part of this Prospectus.

Because the Contracts are no longer sold, the prospectuses for the Contracts are no longer updated. For information about your Contract, the subaccounts available under your Contract, and the Portfolios in which they invest, please refer to your variable annuity contract and the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials, which you may obtain by writing to or calling us at the contact information listed above. Additional information regarding the Portfolios in which the subaccounts invest can also be found in the most recent prospectuses for the Portfolios and any supplementary materials. You may request prospectuses for the Portfolios underlying the subaccounts, which do not accompany this Prospectus, by contacting us.

The Contracts are complex investments and involve risks, including potential loss of principal and any accumulated earnings. The Contracts are not short-term investments and are not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals and surrenders could result in Withdrawal Charges, taxes, and tax penalties. In addition, withdrawing, transferring, or otherwise removing amounts from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration could result in a negative Market Value Adjustment (also referred to in this Prospectus as an "MVA"). In extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 100% of the amount withdrawn or otherwise removed from a Guarantee Period due to a negative MVA.  

The Company's obligations under the Contracts (including the Guarantee Periods) are subject to the Company's financial strength and claims-paying ability. Additional information about certain investment products, including annuities, has been prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission's staff and is available at  Investor.gov.  

Please read and keep this Prospectus for future reference. You should carefully read this Prospectus in conjunction with any applicable supplements before taking any action involving the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. This Prospectus supersedes all prior prospectuses. Also, this Prospectus must be read along with the appropriate variable annuity contract prospectus. This Prospectus is in addition to the appropriate variable annuity contract prospectus. All information in the appropriate variable annuity contract prospectus continues to apply unless addressed by this Prospectus.

Overview of the Contract

This Prospectus describes the material features of the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option available under your Contract. This Prospectus does not describe the material feature of the Contracts or the investment options available under the Contracts other than the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. Please read this Prospectus in conjunction with the most recent prospectus for your variable annuity contract.

The Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options are available only under the following variable annuity contracts that we offer: the  LBL Consultant I Variable Annuities, the LBL Consultant II Variable Annuities and the LBL Premier Planner Variable Annuities. The Contracts are individual deferred variable annuity contracts issued by us through the Variable Account. The Contracts are designed to aid in long-term financial planning and provide tax-deferred retirement investing. The Contracts may be appropriate for you if you have a long investment time horizon. They are not intended for people who may need early liquidity or ready access to cash.

The Contracts generally have two phases: (1) an Accumulation Period, during which you invest your purchase payments and Contract Value in the investment options available under the Contract; and (2) an annuity period, during which annuity payments are paid. If you  annuitize your Contract, you will receive a stream of income payments; however, you may be unable to make withdrawals from your Contract and Contract benefits generally terminate.

The Contracts offer several investment options, which generally include the following:

Variable sub-accounts ("Sub-Accounts") of the Variable Account. The Variable Account and the Sub-Accounts are segregated asset accounts of the Company. The assets of each Sub-Account of the Variable Account are invested in the shares of an underlying mutual fund ("Portfolios"). Values allocated under your Contract to the Variable Account and the amount of variable annuity payments under your Contract will rise and fall with the values of shares of the Portfolios and are also reduced by applicable Contract charges. You bear the risk of investment performance of the Portfolios.
For information about the Sub-Accounts available under your Contract, and the Portfolios in which they invest, please refer to your variable annuity contract and the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials, which you may obtain by writing to or calling us at the information listed on the first page of this Prospectus. Additional information regarding the Portfolios in which the Sub-Accounts invest can also be found in the most recent prospectuses for the Portfolios and supplementary materials. You may request prospectuses for the Portfolios underlying the Sub-Accounts, which do not accompany this Prospectus, by contacting us.  
Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option. Purchase payments allocated to the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option will be credited with interest for up to one year at the current rate that we declare when you make the allocation. For more information about the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option, please refer to the appropriate variable annuity contract and the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials.  
Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. The Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option described in this Prospectus credits a specified rate of interest daily at an annual rate we determine for the duration of each Guarantee Period and guarantees your principal investment if the Guarantee Period is held until maturity. For additional information about each of the Guarantee Periods currently available under the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option, please see "Appendix A" to this Prospectus.

Contract Features

The following lists the Contract features available under the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. For a description of other key features available under your Contract, please refer to your variable annuity contract and the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials.

Automatic  Laddering Program. For no additional charge, the Automatic Laddering Program permits you to elect Guarantee Periods of the same length for all renewals in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. You may select this program at any time during the Accumulation Period.

Contract Adjustment

You could lose a significant amount of money due to a negative MVA if amounts are removed from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration. Withdrawals and surrenders, transfers, annuitization, and death benefit payments from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration may result in an MVA.

Fees, Expenses, and Adjustments

Location in
Prospectus

Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals?

Yes

Withdrawal Charges. Depending on your Contract, Withdrawal Charges may apply to withdrawals and surrenders from your Contract, including withdrawals and surrenders from the Guarantee Periods. Losses due to Withdrawal Charges will be greater if there is a negative MVA, or if you are subject to taxes or tax penalties. For more information regarding any Withdrawal Charges applicable to your Contract, please refer to your variable annuity contract and the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials.  

Market Value Adjustment. If all or a portion of Contract value is removed from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration, we may apply an MVA, which may be negative. In extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 100% of the amount withdrawn or otherwise removed due to a negative MVA. For example, if you were to withdraw $100,000 from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration, you could lose up to $100,000 of the amount withdrawn. This loss will be greater if you also have to pay a Withdrawal Charge, taxes, or tax penalties. An MVA may apply to withdrawals and surrenders, transfers, annuitization, and death benefit payments from the Guarantee Periods.

Description of the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option

Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. We will credit a specified rate of interest to each amount allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option for the duration of each specified Guarantee Period. You select the duration of the Guarantee Period for each amount that you allocate to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. We will declare the interest rate that we will guarantee to credit to that amount for that Guarantee Period. Each amount allocated to a Guarantee Period under this option must be at least $500. We reserve the right to limit the number of additional purchase payments that may be allocated to this option.

We will credit interest daily to each amount allocated to a Guarantee Period at a rate which compounds to the effective annual interest rate that we declared at the beginning of the applicable Guarantee Period. We will not change the interest rate credited to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period. We may declare different interest rates for Guarantee Periods of the same length that begin at different times. The effective annual interest rate declared for a Guarantee Period will never be less than [ ]%, or a greater rate as required by state law.

We will tell you what interest rates and Guarantee Periods we are offering at a particular time. We may offer Guarantee Periods ranging from one to ten years in length. We will decide in our discretion which Guarantee Periods to offer. Currently, we offer Guarantee Periods of one, three, five, seven and ten years in length. In the future we may offer Guarantee Periods of different lengths or stop offering some Guarantee Periods. Information regarding the features of each currently offered Guarantee Period, including (i) its name, (ii) its term, and (iii) its guaranteed minimum effective annual interest rate, is available in "Appendix A"to this Prospectus.

We have no specific formula for determining the rate of interest that we will declare initially or in the future. We will set those interest rates based on relevant factors such as then current interest rates, regulatory and tax requirements, our sales commission and administrative expenses, general economic trends, and competitive factors. For current interest rate information, please contact us at 1-800-457-7617.

WE WILL DETERMINE THE INTEREST RATES TO BE DECLARED IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION. WE CAN NEITHER PREDICT NOR GUARANTEE THE INTEREST RATES THAT WILL BE DECLARED FOR FUTURE GUARANTEE PERIODS.

At the end of each Guarantee Period, we will mail you a notice asking you what to do with the amount in the expiring Guarantee Period, including the accrued interest. During the 30-day period after the end of the Guarantee Period, you may take the following actions without incurring a Market Value Adjustment on the amount in the expiring Guarantee Period:

(1) take no action. If we do not receive timely instructions from you after the end of the Guarantee Period, we will automatically allocate (renew) the relevant amount into a new Guarantee Period in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option, subject to a new declared interest rate. The new Guarantee Period will be the same length as the expiring Guarantee Period and will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for Guarantee Periods of that length; or
(2) allocate the relevant Contract Value to one or more available new Guarantee Periods of your choice in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option, subject to the applicable declared interest rate. The new Guarantee Period(s) will begin on the day the previous Guarantee Period ends. The new interest rate will be our then current declared rate for those Guarantee Periods; or
(3) instruct us to transfer all or a portion of the relevant amount to one or more Sub-Accounts available under your Contract. We will effect the transfer on the day we receive your instructions; or
(4) withdraw all or a portion of the relevant amount through a surrender or partial withdrawal. You may be required to pay a Withdrawal Charge (except with respect to the Consultant II Contract) and federal and state taxes, including a 10% federal tax penalty if amounts are withdrawn before the age of 59½. The amount withdrawn will be deemed to have been withdrawn on the day the Guarantee Period ends.

You may also apply the relevant amount to an annuity option available under your Contract. For more information about  annuitizing your Contract and annuity options available under your Contract, please refer to your variable annuity contract and the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials.

You could lose a significant amount of money due to a negative  MVA if amounts are removed from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration. Withdrawals and surrenders, transfers, annuitization, and death benefit payments from a Guarantee Period prior to its expiration may result in an MVA. See "Expenses and Adjustments - Market Value Adjustment." Under our Automatic Laddering Program, you may choose, in advance, to use Guarantee Periods of the same length for all renewals in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. You can select this program at any time during the Accumulation Period, including on the Issue Date. We will apply renewals to Guarantee Periods of the selected length until you direct us in writing to stop. We may stop offering this program at any time.

Expenses and Adjustments

Certain charges under the base variable annuity contracts and riders added to the base contract are based on (i) the Contract Value, which includes the value held in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option, or (ii) net premiums, including premiums allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. With respect to the Consultant I and Premier Planner, these may include Withdrawal Charges. Other charges under the base variable annuity contracts are based on the Contract Value allocated to the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account. Please refer to your variable annuity contract and most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials, for more information as to the charges and any taxes applicable to your Contract. For information regarding the total operating expenses charged by the Portfolios that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract, please also reference the most recent prospectuses for the Portfolios, which may be amended from time to time, and supplementary materials. You may request prospectuses for the Portfolios, which do not accompany this Prospectus, by calling us or writing to us at the phone number and address listed on the first page of this Prospectus.  

Market Value Adjustment

We may apply a Market Value Adjustment to amounts in the Guarantee Periods that are withdrawn or surrendered, transferred,  annuitized, or paid as a death benefit from a Guarantee Period prior to the expiration of the Guarantee Period. A Market Value Adjustment can increase or decrease the amount you receive from the transaction or the amount transferred from the Guarantee Period. If you surrender your Contract, the MVA will increase or decrease your Contract Surrender Value from the Guarantee Periods after any applicable taxes, applicable Withdrawal Charges (for Consultant I and Premier Planner) and contract maintenance charges are deducted. Both the MVA and the Withdrawal Charge (if applicable) are calculated based on the requested withdrawal amount.

An  MVA will affect your Contract Value and its benefits. A negative MVA will reduce your Contract Surrender Value, death benefit amount (including any optional death benefits), and Contract Value applied to an annuity option from the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option, perhaps significantly. In extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 100% of the amount withdrawn or surrendered, transferred, annuitized, or paid as a death benefit due to a negative MVA. See "Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract."

As a general rule, we will apply a Market Value Adjustment to the following transactions involving amounts invested in a Guarantee Period:

(1) For Consultant I and Premier Planner, when you withdraw funds from the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option in an amount greater than the Free Withdrawal Amount, and for Consultant II, when you withdraw funds from the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option;
(2) when you transfer funds from the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option to the Sub-Accounts;
(3) when you allocate part of your balance in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option to a new Guarantee Period before the end of the existing Guarantee Period;
(4) when you annuitize your Contract; and
(5) when we pay a death benefit.

We will not apply a Market Value Adjustment to a transaction, to the extent that:

(1) it occurs within 30 days after the end of a Guarantee Period applicable to the funds involved in the transaction;  
(2) you make a withdrawal to satisfy the IRS' required minimum distribution rules for this Contract; or
(3) it is a transfer that is part of a Dollar Cost Averaging program.

Please refer to your variable annuity contract and most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials, for more information regarding transfers between the investment options and withdrawals and surrenders from the Contracts, including the circumstances listed above under which a transaction may not be subject to an MVA.

The formula for determining Market Value Adjustments reflects the length of time remaining in the Guarantee Period and changes in interest rates since the beginning of the relevant Guarantee Period to the time of your transaction. As a result, the  MVA transfers to you some of the risk associated with changes in interest rates on amounts allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. If interest rates have increased since the establishment of a Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjustment, together with any applicable Withdrawal Charges, premium taxes and income tax withholdings could reduce the amount you receive upon a full withdrawal from a Guarantee Period to an amount less than the Contract Value allocated to establish that Guarantee Period. The formula for calculating the Market Value Adjustment primarily compares:

(1) the Treasury Rate at the time of the relevant transaction for a maturity equal in length to the relevant Guarantee Period (the current Treasury Rate); and
(2) the Treasury Rate at the beginning of the Guarantee Period for a maturity equal in length to the Guarantee Period.

Generally, if the Treasury Rate at the beginning of the Guarantee Period is higher than the corresponding current Treasury Rate, then the Market Value Adjustment will increase the amount payable to you or transferred. Conversely, if the Treasury Rate at the beginning of the Guarantee Period is lower than the corresponding current Treasury Rate, then the Market Value Adjustment will reduce the amount payable to you or transferred.

Back to Table of Contents

For example, assume that you purchased a Contract and selected an initial Guarantee Period of five years and the five-year Treasury Rate for that duration is 4.50%. Assume that at the end of three years, you make a partial withdrawal. If, at that later time, the current five-year Treasury Rate is 4.20%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be positive, which will result in an increase in the amount payable to you.  Similarly, if the current five-year Treasury Rate is 4.80%, then the Market Value Adjustment will be negative, which will result in a decrease in the amount payable to you.

The formula for calculating Market Value Adjustments is set forth in the SAI to this Prospectus, which also contains additional examples of the application of the Market Value Adjustment as it applies to each of the Contracts. You may obtain information concerning the current amount of an MVA by contacting us at 1-800-457-7617. However, MVAs fluctuate daily, and the amount of the MVA quoted may change by the time your transaction is executed.

Purchases

None of the Contracts are currently offered for new sales. However, under outstanding Contracts you may be able to make additional purchase payments, and allocate additional purchase payments or transfer amounts of Contract Value to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. For information about additional purchase payments, allocations and transfers available under your Contract, please refer to your variable annuity contract and the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials.

12

Back to Table of Contents

Withdrawals (Redemptions)

You generally may redeem a Contract for all or a portion of its Contract Value before the date that annuity payments are scheduled to begin. If applicable to your Contract, we may impose a Withdrawal Charge, which would reduce the amount paid to you upon redemption. For more information on Withdrawal Charges, if applicable, please reference your most recent variable annuity contract prospectus, along with any supplementary materials. Withdrawals and surrenders from the Contract will also be subject to applicable taxes and tax penalties, and withdrawals and surrenders from the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option may be increased or decreased by the amount of any applicable Market Value Adjustment, as described above under "Expenses and Adjustments - Market Value Adjustment."

For partial withdrawals, you may allocate the amount among the Sub-Accounts and the Fixed Account (which includes the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option and the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account). If we do not receive allocation instructions from you, we usually will allocate the partial withdrawal proportionately among the Sub-Accounts and the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options based upon the balance of the Sub-Accounts and the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options, with any remainder being distributed from the Dollar Cost Averaging Fixed Account Option, if available. You may not make a partial withdrawal from the Fixed Account in an amount greater than the total amount of the partial withdrawal multiplied by the ratio of the value of the Fixed Account to the Contract Value immediately before the partial withdrawal.

We determine the Surrender Value based on the Contract Value next computed after we receive a properly completed surrender request. We will usually pay the Surrender Value within seven days after the day we receive a completed request form. However, we may delay payment of the Surrender Value in the Fixed Account for up to 6 months or a shorter period if required by law. If we delay payment from the Fixed Account for more than 30 days, we will pay interest as required by applicable law.

For more information regarding withdrawals and surrenders, such as withdrawals from the Sub-Accounts of the Variable Account, procedures for withdrawal and surrender requests, limitations on withdrawals, examples, automatic withdrawal options, minimum Contract values, and tax implications, please refer to the applicable variable annuity contract and the most recent variable annuity contract prospectus and any supplementary materials.

Distribution of the Contracts

The Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option is available only under certain variable annuity contracts issued by LBL, as identified above. Information about the arrangements for distributing the variable annuity contracts is included under "Distribution" in the appropriate variable annuity contract prospectus and in the statement of additional information that relates to that prospectus. All of that information applies, regardless of whether you choose to allocate Contract Value to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option, and there is no additional plan of distribution or sales compensation with respect to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. Also as described in the appropriate variable annuity contract prospectus, the principal underwriter and distributor for all of the Contracts is Everlake Distributors, LLC ("Everlake Distributors"), formerly known as Allstate Distributors, L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Everlake Life Insurance Company ("ELIC"), formerly known as Allstate Life Insurance Company ("Allstate Life"). The principal business address of Everlake Distributors is 3100 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL 60062. Everlake Distributors is a registered broker-dealer under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") and is a member of FINRA. The underwriting agreement with Everlake Distributors provides that we will reimburse Everlake Distributors for any liability to Contract owners arising out of services rendered or Contracts issued.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

The risks identified below are the principal risks of investing in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option. Your variable annuity Contract is also subject to the principal risks identified in your most recent variable annuity contract prospectus and any supplementary materials.

Risk of Loss. You can lose money by investing in this Contract, including loss of principal and any accumulated earnings. The Contracts and the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option are not FDIC insured and are not deposits, obligations, or guarantees of any bank, financial institution, or federal regulatory agency.

Short Term Investment Risk. The Contracts are not designed for short-term investing and are not intended for people who may need early liquidity or ready access to cash. The Contracts are designed to aid in long-term financial planning and provide tax-deferred retirement investing. The benefits of tax-deferral and long-term income mean that the Contracts are more beneficial to investors with a long investment time horizon. Withdrawals and surrenders from the Contracts may be subject to Withdrawal Charges, if applicable, and/or federal and state income taxes, including a 10% federal tax penalty for distributions taken before age 59½. In addition, withdrawals and surrenders from the Guarantee Periods may also be subject to negative MVAs, which will result in loss. See "Withdrawals and Transfers May be Subject to Market Value Adjustment," and "Market Value Adjustment Risk" below.  

Reliance on the Company's Financial Strength and Claims-Paying Ability. The Company's general obligations such as insurance and annuity obligations and any guaranteed benefits under the Contracts (including Guarantee Periods) are supported by our General Account and are subject to the Company's financial strength and claims-paying ability. The Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option is part of our General Account. Our General Account consists of our general assets other than those in segregated asset accounts. An Owner should look to the financial strength of the Company for its claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you. For more information about the Company, including our financial statements and risks related to the Company and its industry, see the SAI.  

Withdrawals and Transfers May be Subject to Market Value Adjustment. Withdrawals and transfers from Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options prior to its expiration may be subject to a Market Value Adjustment as set forth in this Prospectus and in the applicable Contract's prospectus, in addition to any applicable Withdrawal Charges and/or federal and state income taxes, including a 10% federal tax penalty for distributions taken before age 59½. A Market Value Adjustment may also apply to amounts in the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options if we pay Death Proceeds or if the Payout Start Date begins on a day other than during the 30-day period after such Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options expires. The Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the risk of loss due to a negative adjustment associated with changes in interest rates. See also "Market Value Adjustment Risk" below.  

Market Value Adjustment Risk. A Market Value Adjustment may be positive or negative, depending on changes in interest rates. As such, you bear the risk of loss due to a negative adjustment associated with changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase from the first day of a Guarantee Period, the Market Value Adjustment could reduce the value of your investment to an amount that is less than the amount you invested in a Guarantee Period. A negative MVA will reduce your Contract Surrender Value, death benefit amount (including any optional death benefits), and Contract Value applied to an annuity option from the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option, perhaps significantly. Your losses could be significant. In extreme circumstances, you could lose up to 100% of the amount withdrawn or surrendered, transferred, annuitized, or paid as a death benefit due to a negative MVA. Any loss from a negative Market Value Adjustment will be greater if you also have to pay Withdrawal Charges, taxes, and/or tax penalties.

Declared Interest Rate Risk. We may declare new interest rates for new Guarantee Periods. We will not change the interest rate that we credit to a particular allocation until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period. We determine the interest rates to be declared in our sole discretion. We can neither predict nor guarantee what those rates will be in the future. For current interest rate information, please contact your representative or Lincoln Benefit at 1-800-457-7617.

The Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Options described in this Prospectus qualify for the exemption provided under Rule 12h-7. The Company relies on the exemption provided under Rule 12h-7 with respect to the offering of the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account Option described in this Prospectus and, due to the exemption, does not file reports under the Exchange Act.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

Lincoln Benefit Life Company ("Lincoln Benefit," the "Company," "we," "us," and "our") is a stock life insurance company incorporated under the laws of the State of Nebraska in 1938. Lincoln Benefit is a wholly-owned subsidiary of  LBL HoldCo II, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of LBL HoldCo, Inc. ("HoldCo Parent"). HoldCo Parent is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kuvare US Holdings, Inc. ("KUS"). Prior to December 31, 2022, HoldCo Parent was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Guaranty Income Life Insurance Company ("GILICO"). KUS is the ultimate parent of GILICO and HoldCo Parent. Prior to December 31, 2019, HoldCo Parent was a subsidiary of RL LP and RL (Parallel) Partnership.

Prior to July 18, 2013, we sold interest-sensitive, traditional and variable life insurance, and fixed annuities including deferred and immediate, through independent master brokerage agencies and the Allstate exclusive agency channel. In July 2013, we ceased soliciting and selling new policies through our independent agent channel. In 2017, we ceased soliciting and selling new policies through the Allstate exclusive agency channel.

In 2015, the administration of our retained deferred annuity and life business was outsourced to unaffiliated third-party service providers, Zinnia, formerly SE2, LLC, and Alliance-One Services, Inc. Everlake Life Insurance Company ("Everlake"), formerly known as Allstate Life Insurance Company ("ALIC"), continues to reinsure and administer business sold through the Allstate exclusive agency channel and certain life, immediate and payout annuity contracts. LifeCare Assurance Company administers the Company's long-term care business.

Lincoln Benefit's variable annuity business is reinsured by Everlake under an existing reinsurance agreement between Lincoln Benefit and Everlake, formerly known as ALIC. In 2006, ALIC disposed of substantially all of its variable annuity business through reinsurance agreements with The Prudential Insurance Company of America, a subsidiary of Prudential Financial, Inc. The Company was not a direct party to this agreement and its reinsurance agreement with Everlake remains unchanged.

NON-PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT

firm, as set forth in their report thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing. The principal business address of [   ] is [   ].

Principal Underwriter

The Contracts are offered on a continuous basis. The principal underwriter for the Contracts is Everlake Distributors, L.L.C. ("Everlake Distributors"), formerly known as Allstate Distributors, L.L.C., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Everlake Life Insurance Company ("ELIC"), formerly known as Allstate Life Insurance Company ("Allstate Life").

Under the underwriting agreement for the Contracts, Lincoln Benefit reimburses Everlake Distributors for expenses incurred in distributing the Contracts, including liability arising from services Lincoln Benefit provides on the Contracts. Lincoln Benefit does not pay Everlake Distributors any commission or other compensation.

MARKET VALUE ADJUSTMENT EXAMPLES

We may apply a Market Value Adjustment to amounts in the Guarantee Periods that are withdrawn or surrendered, transferred, annuitized, or paid as a death benefit from a Guarantee Period prior to the expiration of the Guarantee Period. A Market Value Adjustment can increase or decrease the amount you receive from the transaction or the amount transferred from the Guarantee Period. If you surrender your Contract, the MVA will increase or decrease your Contract Surrender Value from the Guarantee Periods after any applicable taxes, applicable Withdrawal Charges (for Consultant I and Premier Planner) and contract maintenance charges are deducted. Both the MVA and the Withdrawal Charge (if applicable) are calculated based on the requested withdrawal amount.

The examples below demonstrate the operation of the MVA and Withdrawal Charges, as applicable, with regard to withdrawals from the Guarantee Periods under each Contract. The examples do not reflect taxes or any other charges that might be deducted upon a withdrawal or surrender.

For additional examples demonstrating how the Market Value Adjustment and any Withdrawal Charge may affect the values of a Contract upon a partial withdrawal from a Guarantee Period, please refer to your most recent variable annuity contract prospectus.

Consultant I Variable Annuities

The following examples illustrate how the Market Value Adjustment and the Withdrawal Charge may affect the values of a Contract upon a withdrawal from a Guarantee Period, assuming a 5% Guaranteed Interest Rate. In these examples, the withdrawal occurs one year after the Issue Date. The Market Value Adjustment operates in a similar manner for transfers, except that there is no free amount for transfers. No Withdrawal Charge applies to transfers.

Purchase Payment:

$40,000.00

Guarantee Period:

5 years

Guaranteed Interest Rate:

5% Annual Effective Rate

5-Year Treasury Rate at Time of Purchase Payment:

6%

Assuming that the entire $40,000.00 Purchase Payment is allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account for the Guarantee Period specified above, at the end of the five-year Guarantee Period the Contract Value would be $51,051.26. After one year, when the withdrawals occur in these examples, the Contract Value would be $42,000.00. We have assumed that no prior partial withdrawals or transfers have occurred.

The Market Value Adjustment and the Withdrawal Charge only apply to the portion of a withdrawal that is greater than the Free Withdrawal Amount. Accordingly, the first step is to calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount.

The Free Withdrawal Amount is equal to:

(a) the greater of:

• earnings not previously withdrawn; or
• 15% of your total Purchase Payments in the most recent seven years; plus

(b) an amount equal to your total Purchase Payments made more than seven years ago, to the extent not previously withdrawn.

3

Back to Table of Contents

Here, (a) equals $6,000.00, because 15% of the total Purchase Payments in the most recent seven years ($6,000.00 = 15% × $40,000.00) is greater than the earnings not previously withdrawn ($2,000.00). (b) equals $0, because all of the Purchase Payments were made less than seven years ago. Accordingly, the Free Withdrawal Amount is $6,000.00.

The formula that we use to determine the amount of the Market Value Adjustment is:

.9 × (I - J) × N

where:

I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the relevant Guarantee Period for the week preceding the beginning of the Guarantee Period;

J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the relevant Guarantee Period for the week preceding our receipt of your withdrawal request, death benefit request, transfer request, or annuity option request; and

N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive your request until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period.

We will base the Market Value Adjustment on the current Treasury Rate for a maturity corresponding in length to the relevant Guarantee Period. These examples also show the Withdrawal Charge (if any), which would be calculated separately from the Market Value Adjustment.

Example of a Downward Market Value Adjustment:

A downward Market Value Adjustment results from a full or partial withdrawal that occurs when interest rates have increased. Assume interest rates have increased one year after the Purchase Payment, such that the five-year Treasury Rate is now 6.5%. Upon a withdrawal, the market value adjustment factor would be:

.9 × (.06 -.065) × 4 = -.0180

The Market Value Adjustment is a reduction of $648.00 from the amount withdrawn:

$ - 648.00 = -.0180 × ($42,000.00 - $6,000.00)

A Withdrawal Charge of 7% would be assessed against the Purchase Payments withdrawn that are less than seven years old and are not eligible for free withdrawal. Under the Contract, earnings are deemed to be withdrawn before Purchase Payments. Accordingly, in this example, the amount of the Purchase Payment eligible for free withdrawal would equal the Free Withdrawal Amount less the interest credited or $4,000.00 ($6,000.00 - $2,000.00).

Therefore, the Withdrawal Charge would be:
$2,520.00 = 7% × (40,000.00 - $4,000.00)

As a result, the net amount payable to you would be:

$38,832.00 = $42,000.00-$648.00 - $2,520.00

The percentage change in the Contract Value withdrawn as a result of the Market Value Adjustment would be -1.54%.

Example of an Upward Market Value Adjustment:

An upward Market Value Adjustment results from a withdrawal that occurs when interest rates have decreased. Assume interest rates have decreased one year after the Purchase Payment, such that the five-year Treasury Rate is now 5.5%. Upon a withdrawal, the market value adjustment factor would be:

.9 × (.06 -.055) × 4 =.0180

The Market Value Adjustment would increase the amount withdrawn by $648.00, as follows:

$648.00 =.0180 × ($42,000.00 - $6,000.00)

As above, in this example, the amount of the Purchase Payment eligible for free withdrawal would equal the Free Withdrawal Amount less the interest credited or $4,000.00 ($6,000.00 - $2,000.00). Therefore, the Withdrawal Charge would be:

$2,520.00 = 7% × ($40,000.00 - $4,000.00)

As a result, the net amount payable to you would be:

4

Back to Table of Contents

$40,128.00 = $42,000.00 + $648.00 - $2,520.00

The percentage change in the Contract Value withdrawn as a result of the Market Value Adjustment would be 1.54%.


Example of a Partial Withdrawal:

If you request a partial withdrawal from a Guarantee Period, we can either (1) withdraw the specified amount of Contract Value and pay you that amount as adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment or (2) pay you the amount requested, and subtract an amount from your Contract Value that equals the requested amount after application of the Market Value Adjustment and Withdrawal Charge. Unless you instruct us otherwise, when you request a partial withdrawal we will assume that you wish to receive the amount requested. We will make the necessary calculations and on your request provide you with a statement showing our calculations.

For example, if in the first example you wished to receive $20,000.00 as a partial withdrawal, the Market Value Adjustment and Withdrawal Charge would be calculated as follows:

Let:

AW = the total amount to be withdrawn from your Contract Value
MVA = Market Value Adjustment
WC = Withdrawal Charge
AW' = amount subject to Market Value Adjustment and Withdrawal Charge

Then:

AW - $20,000.00 = WC - MVA

Since neither the Market Value Adjustment nor the Withdrawal Charge apply to the free withdrawal amount, we can solve directly for the amount subject to the Market Value Adjustment and the Withdrawal Charge (i.e., AW'), which equals AW - $6,000.00. Then, AW = AW' + $6,000, and AW' + $6,000.00 - $20,000.00 = WC - MVA.

MVA

=

-.018 x AW'

WC

AW' - $14,000.00

$14,000.00 / (1 -.088) = $15,350.88

MVA

WC

=

.07 x $15,350.88 = $1,074.56

AW = Total amount withdrawn = $15,350.88 + $6,000.00 = $21,350.88

You receive $20,000.00; the total amount subtracted from your contract is $21,350.88; the Market Value Adjustment is $276.32; and the Withdrawal Charge is $1,074.56. Your remaining Contract Value is $20,649.12.

If, however, in the same example, you wished to withdraw $20,000.00 from your Contract Value and receive the adjusted amount, the calculations would be as follows:

By definition, AW = total amount withdrawn from your Contract Value = $20,000.00

You would receive $20,000.00 - $252.00 - $980.00 = $18,768.00; the total amount subtracted from your Contract Value is $20,000.00.

Your remaining Contract Value would be $22,000.00.

Example of Free Withdrawal Amount

Assume that in the foregoing example, after four years $8,620.25 in interest had been credited and that the Contract Value in the Fixed Account equaled $48,620.25. In this example, if no prior withdrawals have been made, you could withdraw up to $8,620.25 without incurring a Market Value Adjustment or a Withdrawal Charge. The Free Withdrawal Amount would be $8,620.25, because the interest credited ($8,620.25) is greater than 15% of the Total Purchase Payments in the most recent seven years ($40,000.00 ×.15 = $6,000.00).

Consultant II Variable Annuities

The following examples illustrate how the Market Value Adjustment may affect the values of a Contract upon a withdrawal from a Guarantee Period assuming a 5% Guaranteed Interest Rate. In these examples, the withdrawal occurs one year after the Issue Date. The Market Value Adjustment operates in a similar manner for transfers, except that there is no free amount for transfers. Consultant II does not assess a Withdrawal Charge.

Purchase Payment:

$40,000

Guarantee Period:

5 years

Guaranteed Interest Rate:

5% Annual Effective Rate

5-Year Treasury Rate at Time of Purchase Payment:

6%

Assuming that the entire $40,000.00 Purchase Payment is allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account for the Guarantee Period specified above, at the end of the five-year Guarantee Period the Contract Value would be $51,051.26. After one year, when the withdrawals occur in these examples, the Contract Value would be $42,000.00. We have assumed that no prior partial withdrawals or transfers have occurred.

The formula that we use to determine the amount of the Market Value Adjustment is:

.9 × (I - J) × N

where:

I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the relevant Guarantee Period for the week preceding the beginning of the Guarantee Period;

J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the relevant Guarantee Period for the week preceding our receipt of your withdrawal request, death benefit request, transfer request, or annuity option request; and

N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive your request until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period.

We will base the Market Value Adjustment on the current Treasury Rate for a maturity corresponding in length to the relevant Guarantee Period.

Example of a Downward Market Value Adjustment:

A downward Market Value Adjustment results from a full or partial withdrawal that occurs when interest rates have increased. Assume interest rates have increased one year after the Purchase Payment, such that the five-year Treasury Rate is now 6.5%. Upon a withdrawal, the market value adjustment factor would be:

.9 × (.06 -.065) × 4 = -.0180

The Market Value Adjustment is a reduction of $756.00 from the amount withdrawn:

$ - 756.00 = -.0180 × $42,000.00

As a result, the net amount payable to you would be:

$41,244.00 = $42,000.00-$756.00

The percentage change in the Contract Value withdrawn as a result of the Market Value Adjustment would be -1.80%.

Example of an Upward Market Value Adjustment:

6

Back to Table of Contents

An upward Market Value Adjustment results from a withdrawal that occurs when interest rates have decreased. Assume interest rates have decreased one year after the Purchase Payment, such that the five-year Treasury Rate is now 5.5%. Upon a withdrawal, the market value adjustment factor would be:

.9 × (.06 -.055) × 4 =.0180 (1)

The Market Value Adjustment would increase the amount withdrawn by $756.00, as follows:

$756.00 =.0180 × $42,000.00

(1) Actual calculation utilizes ten decimal places.

The percentage change in the Contract Value withdrawn as a result of the Market Value Adjustment would be 1.80%.

Example of a Partial Withdrawal:

If you request a partial withdrawal from a Guarantee Period, we can either (1) withdraw the specified amount of Contract Value and pay you that amount as adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment or (2) pay you the amount requested, and subtract an amount from your Contract Value that equals the requested amount after application of the Market Value Adjustment. Unless you instruct us otherwise, when you request a partial withdrawal we will assume that you wish to receive the amount requested. We will make the necessary calculations and on your request provide you with a statement showing our calculations.

For example, if in the first example you wished to receive $20,000.00 as a partial withdrawal, we would perform the following calculations:

Let:

A = the amount to be withdrawn from your Contract Value; and
B = the amount of the applicable Market Value Adjustment

Then:

A+B = $20,000.00
-.0180 x A = B
A = $20,000/(1-.0180) = $20,366.60

Accordingly, we would pay you $20,000.00 and subtract $20,366.60 from your Contract Value. The Market Value Adjustment would be a subtraction of $366.60.

If, however, in the same example, you wished to withdraw $20,000.00 from your Contract Value and receive the adjusted amount, we would perform the following calculations:

Let:

A = the amount to be paid to you; and
B = the amount of the applicable Market Value Adjustment

Then:

$20,000.00 + B = A
-.0180 x $20,000 = $-360.00 = B

and

A = $20,000 - $360.00 = $19,640.00

Accordingly, we would pay you $19,640.00 and subtract $20,000.00 from your Contract Value. The Market Value Adjustment would be a subtraction of $360.00.

The following examples illustrate how the Market Value Adjustment and the Withdrawal Charge may affect the values of a Contract upon a withdrawal from a Guarantee Period, assuming a 5% Guaranteed Interest Rate. In these examples, the withdrawal occurs one year after (in the second Contract Year) the Issue Date. The Market Value Adjustment operates in a similar manner for transfers, except that there is no free amount for transfers. No Withdrawal Charge applies to transfers.

Purchase Payment:

$40,000.00

Credit Enhancement:

1,600.00

Guarantee Period:

5 years

Guaranteed Interest Rate:

5% Annual Effective Rate

5-Year Treasury Rate at Time of Purchase Payment:

6%

Assuming that the entire $40,000.00 Purchase Payment and $1,600.00 Credit Enhancement are allocated to the Guaranteed Maturity Fixed Account for the Guarantee Period specified above, at the end of the five-year Guarantee Period the Contract Value would be $53,093.31. After one year, when the withdrawals occur in these examples, the Contract Value would be $43,680.00. We have assumed that no prior partial withdrawals or transfers have occurred.

The Market Value Adjustment and the Withdrawal Charge only apply to the portion of a withdrawal that is greater than the Free Withdrawal Amount. Accordingly, the first step is to calculate the Free Withdrawal Amount.

The Free Withdrawal Amount is equal to:

(a) the greater of:

• earnings not previously withdrawn; or
• 15% of your total Purchase Payments in the most recent seven years; plus

(b) an amount equal to your total Purchase Payments made more than eight years ago, to the extent not previously withdrawn.

Here, (a) equals $6,000.00, because 15% of the total Purchase Payments in the most recent eight years ($6,000.00 = 15% × $40,000.00) is greater than the earnings not previously withdrawn ($3,680.00). (b) equals $0, because all of the Purchase Payments were made less than eight years ago. Accordingly, the Free Withdrawal Amount is $6,000.00.

The formula that we use to determine the amount of the Market Value Adjustment is:

.9 × (I - J) × N

where:

I = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the relevant Guarantee Period for the week preceding the beginning of the Guarantee Period;

J = the Treasury Rate for a maturity equal to the relevant Guarantee Period for the week preceding our receipt of your withdrawal request, death benefit request, transfer request, or annuity option request; and

N = the number of whole and partial years from the date we receive your request until the end of the relevant Guarantee Period.

We will base the Market Value Adjustment on the current Treasury Rate for a maturity corresponding in length to the relevant Guarantee Period. These examples also show the Withdrawal Charge (if any), which would be calculated separately from the Market Value Adjustment.

Example of a Downward Market Value Adjustment:

A downward Market Value Adjustment results from a full or partial withdrawal that occurs when interest rates have increased. Assume interest rates have increased one year after the Purchase Payment, such that the five-year Treasury Rate is now 6.5%. Upon a withdrawal, the market value adjustment factor would be:

.9 × (.06 -.065) × 4 = -.0180

The Market Value Adjustment is a reduction of $678.24 from the amount withdrawn:

$ - 678.24 = -.0180 × ($43,680.00 - $6,000.00)

Back to Table of Contents

A Withdrawal Charge of 7% (assuming the Withdrawal occurs at the start of the second Contract year) would be assessed against the Purchase Payments withdrawn that are less than eight years old and are not eligible for free withdrawal. Under the Contract, earnings are deemed to be withdrawn before Purchase Payments. Accordingly, in this example, the amount of the Purchase Payment eligible for free withdrawal would equal the Free Withdrawal Amount less the interest credited or $2,320.00 ($6,000.00 - $3,680.00).

Therefore, the Withdrawal Charge would be:

$2,637.60 = 7% × (40,000.00 - $2,320.00)

As a result, the net amount payable to you would be:

$40,364.16 = $43,680.00-$678.24 - $2,637.60

The percentage change in the Contract Value withdrawn as a result of the Market Value Adjustment would be -1.55%.

Example of an Upward Market Value Adjustment:

An upward Market Value Adjustment results from a withdrawal that occurs when interest rates have decreased. Assume interest rates have decreased one year after the Purchase Payment, such that the five-year Treasury Rate is now 5.5%. Upon a withdrawal, the market value adjustment factor would be:

.9 × (.06 -.055) × 4 =.0180

The Market Value Adjustment would increase the amount withdrawn by $648.00, as follows:

$678.24 =.0180 × ($43,680.00 - $6,000.00)

As above, in this example, the amount of the Purchase Payment eligible for free withdrawal would equal the Free Withdrawal Amount less the interest credited or $2,320.00 ($6,000.00 - $3,680.00). Therefore, the Withdrawal Charge would be:

$2,637.60 = 7% × ($40,000.00 - $2,320.00)

As a result, the net amount payable to you would be:

$41,720.64 = $43,680.00 + $678.24 - $2,637.60

The percentage change in the Contract Value withdrawn as a result of the Market Value Adjustment would be 1.55%.

Example of a Partial Withdrawal:

If you request a partial withdrawal from a Guarantee Period, we can either (1) withdraw the specified amount of Contract Value and pay you that amount as adjusted by any applicable Market Value Adjustment or (2) pay you the amount requested, and subtract an amount from your Contract Value that equals the requested amount after application of the Market Value Adjustment and Withdrawal Charge. Unless you instruct us otherwise, when you request a partial withdrawal we will assume that you wish to receive the amount requested. We will make the necessary calculations and on your request provide you with a statement showing our calculations.

For example, if in the first example you wished to receive $20,000.00 as a partial withdrawal, the Market Value Adjustment and Withdrawal Charge would be calculated as follows:

Let:

AW = the total amount to be withdrawn from your Contract Value
MVA = Market Value Adjustment
WC = Withdrawal Charge
AW' = amount subject to Market Value Adjustment and Withdrawal Charge

Then:

AW - $20,000.00 = WC - MVA

Since neither the Market Value Adjustment nor the Withdrawal Charge apply to the free withdrawal amount, we can solve directly for the amount subject to the Market Value Adjustment and the Withdrawal Charge (i.e., AW'), which equals AW - $6,000.00.

.07 x $15,350.88 = $1,074.56

AW = Total amount withdrawn = $15,350.88 + $6,000.00 = $21,350.88

You receive $20,000.00; the total amount subtracted from your contract is $21,350.88; the Market Value Adjustment is $276.32; and the Withdrawal Charge is $1,074.56. Your remaining Contract Value is $20,649.12.

If, however, in the same example, you wished to withdraw $20,000.00 from your Contract Value and receive the adjusted amount, the calculations would be as follows:

You would receive $20,000.00 - $252.00 - $980.00 = $18,768.00; the total amount subtracted from your Contract Value is $20,000.00.

Your remaining Contract Value would be $22,000.00.

Example of Free Withdrawal Amount:

Assume that in the foregoing example, after four years $10,565.06 in earnings; including the Credit Enhancement had been credited and that the Contract Value in the Fixed Account equaled $50,565.06. In this example, if no prior withdrawals have been made, you could withdraw up to $10,565.06 without incurring a Market Value Adjustment or a Withdrawal Charge. The Free Withdrawal Amount would be $10,565.06, because the interest credited ($10,565.06) is greater than 15% of the Total Purchase Payments in the most recent eight years ($40,000.00 ×.15 = $6,000.00).

Item 30. Indemnification

The Articles of Incorporation of Lincoln Benefit Life Company (Registrant) provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement as incurred by such person, so long as such person shall not have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of a duty to the Company. This right of indemnity is not exclusive of other rights to which a director or officer may otherwise be entitled.

Kuvare US Holdings, Inc. has obtained directors and officers insurance, which includes indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 that the directors and officers of Kuvare US Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries may, in such capacities, incur.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by final adjudication of such issue.
