Variable annuities are long-term investments intended for retirement planning and involve market risk and the possible loss of principal. Investments in variable annuities are subject to fees and changes from the insurance company and the investment managers.

Withdrawals reduce the annuity’s remaining death benefit, contract value, cash surrender value and future earnings. Withdrawals may be subject to income tax and, if taken
prior to age 59½, an additional 10% IRS tax penalty may apply. More frequent withdrawals may reduce earnings more than annual withdrawals. During the withdrawal charge
period, withdrawals in excess of the penalty-free amount may be subject to a withdrawal charge.

Protective does not offer or provide investment, fiduciary, financial, legal or tax advice or act in a fiduciary capacity for any client. Clients should consult with their investment advisor, attorney or tax advisor as needed.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of a variable annuity, any optional protected lifetime income benefit, advisory fees, and the underlying investment options before investing. This and other information is contained in the prospectus for a variable annuity and its underlying investment options. Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. Prospectuses may be obtained by contacting PLICO or PLAIC at 800-456-6330.
