All expenses incurred in connection with the proposed substitutions, including brokerage, legal, accounting, and other fees and expenses, will be paid by the Insurance Companies. In addition, the proposed substitutions will not impose any tax liability on Contract owners. The proposed substitutions will not cause the Contract fees and charges currently being paid by existing Contract owners to be greater after the proposed substitutions than before the proposed substitutions. No fees will be charged on the transfers made at the time of the proposed substitutions because the proposed substitutions will not be treated as a transfer for the purpose of assessing transfer charges or for determining the number of remaining permissible transfers in a Contract year. 9. In addition to the prospectus supplements distributed to owners of Contracts, within five business days after the proposed substitutions, Contract owners will be sent a written notice informing them that the substitutions were carried out and that they may transfer all Contract value or cash value under a Contract invested in any one of the Subaccounts on the date of the notice to another Subaccount available under their Contract at no cost and without regard to the usual limit on the frequency of transfers from the variable account options to the fixed account options. The notice will also reiterate that (other than with respect to ‘‘market timing’’ activity) the Insurance Company will not exercise any rights reserved by it under the Contracts to impose additional restrictions on transfers or to impose any charges on transfers until at least 30 days after the proposed substitutions. The Insurance Companies will also send each Contract owner current prospectuses for the Replacement Funds involved. 10. Each Insurance Company may also seek approval of the proposed substitutions from any state insurance regulators whose approval may be necessary or appropriate. 11. For a two year period following the date of the Substitutions, the Applicants agree that the total operating expenses of each Replacement Fund (taking into account any expense waiver or reimbursement) will not exceed on an annualized basis the net expense level of the corresponding Existing Fund for the 2005 fiscal year. 12. The Applicants agree that the Insurance Companies will not increase total separate account charges (net of any reimbursements or waivers) for any outstanding Contracts involved in the VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:41 Mar 22, 2007 Jkt 211001 proposed substitution on the date of the substitutions for a period of two years from the date of the substitutions. Applicants and the Insurance Companies may, however, offer additional benefits through one or more Benefit Riders to owners of such Contracts during such two year period and impose additional separate account charges related to the purchase of any such additional benefits. 13. Applicants represent that none of the Replacement Funds was established for the purpose of effecting the substitutions. Conclusion For the reasons and upon the facts set forth above, Applicants submit that the requested order meets the standards set forth in Section 26(c). Applicants request an order of the Commission, pursuant to Section 26(c) of the Act, approving the Substitutions. For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management, pursuant to delegated authority. Florence E. Harmon, Deputy Secretary. [FR Doc.
