² Pacific Legacy Survivorship VUL is a flexible premium variable universal life insurance (Form series #P22SVL, S22PLS, varies based on state of policy issue). Variable universal life insurance generally requires additional premium payments after the initial premium. If either no premiums are paid, or subsequent premiums are insufficient to continue coverage, it is possible that coverage will expire.

³ Riders will likely incur additional charges and are subject to availability, restrictions and limitations. When considering a rider, request a policy illustration from your life insurance producer to see the rider’s impact on your policy’s values.

⁴ Age 90 No-Lapse Guarantee Rider (Form series R22NLG, S22NLG, varies based on state of policy issue) is issued with all policies electing Death Benefit Option A or B with insureds issue ages 79 and under. Paying only the Age 90 No-Lapse Premiums will guarantee the death benefit to the younger insured’s attained age 90, but will not guarantee cash value accumulation. If your client discontinues paying the no-lapse guarantee premiums, the no-lapse feature will terminate before the guaranteed duration. If this occurs, additional premiums in an amount equal to the short-fall can be paid to bring the no-lapse feature back in-force. If policy loans or withdrawals are taken, additional premiums may be required to keep the no-lapse feature in force. Additional premiums may be required to continue the policy beyond the guaranteed duration.
