RE: Agreement to Pass-Through Voting
Dear Xx. Xxxxx:
In conjunction with our offering of certain Vanguard ETFs in the variable annuity, “VAROOM,” offered by Integrity Life Insurance Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, National Integrity Life Insurance Company (collectively “the Integrity Companies”), this letter agreement acknowledges that the Integrity Companies will seek instructions from the VAROOM contract owners with regard to the voting of all proxies, will vote such proxies only in accordance with such instructions, and will vote any shares for which we do not receive instructions in the same proportion as those for which we receive instructions. Integrity will pay for all associated expenses. This arrangement is intended to comply with §12(d)(1)(E)(iii) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is effective as of the date of this letter.
Please indicate your acceptance by signing below.
Sincerely,
Integrity Life Insurance Company (on behalf of itself and Separate Account I of Integrity Life Insurance Company) and National Integrity Life Insurance Company (on behalf of itself and Separate Account I of National Integrity Life Insurance Company)
