Important disclosure
1 Withdrawals and fund switches may result in tax consequences. 2 Scheduled retirement income payments reduce the death benefit guarantee on a dollar‑for‑dollar basis. Unscheduled withdrawals made over and above scheduled retirement income payments reduce the death guarantee value on a proportional basis. 3 The maturity guarantee value is used to calculate the maturity benefit guarantee. The death guarantee value is used to calculate the death benefit guarantee. Prior to any resets, the maturity guarantee value and the death guarantee value are equal to the sum of premiums paid less the sum of proportional reductions for prior withdrawals, for a particular series. If a reset has occurred, they are equal to the last reset value plus the sum of additional premiums paid less the sum of proportional reductions for prior withdrawals since the last reset, for a particular series. Resets do not apply to the Ideal 75/75 Series. 4 For Ideal 75/100 Series and Ideal 75/75 Series, the payout benefit guarantee is payable on the condition that the series has been in force for at least 10 years from the date of the first premium payment, or if resets have occurred, from the last reset date. For Ideal 100/100 Series, the payout benefit guarantee is payable on the condition that the series has been in‑force for at least 15 years from the date of the first premium payment, or if resets have occurred, from the last reset date. Additional premiums that have been in the series for less than 15 years are guaranteed at 75%. Scheduled retirement income payments reduce the payout benefit guarantee on a dollar‑for‑dollar basis. 5 In the province of Quebec, a successor owner is known as a subrogated policyholder.
