Important Announcement

 

Given the continued low interest rate environment, Forethought, like many companies, is making product and interest rate changes. We continuously monitor the market to ensure competitive pricing.

 

  The following changes will be implemented for
Allegiance RewardsSM - Bonus Advantage SM

 

The Premium Bonus will change from 8% to 5%

 

The Fixed Account minimum guaranteed interest rate
will be lowered from 1.00% to 0.50%

 (the current fixed interest rate remains 1.00%)

 

(The Bonus Advantage's outstanding death benefit,
income booster and agent commissions remain the same.)

 

New State Approval

Bonus Advantage will be available for sale in Delaware beginning December 22, 2011.

 

New Forms and Materials

Due to a re-filing, the contract numbers will be changing for most states. New forms and marketing materials will be available December 14, 2011.

 

New Business Guidelines

To receive the 8% premium bonus and the underlying minimum guarantee of 1% on the Fixed Account, the application must be signed no later than December 21, 2011, and must be received at Forethought's home office by Tuesday, December 27, 2011.
