IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE CONTRACT
FEES AND EXPENSES | |
Charges for Early Withdrawals | If the Investor withdraws money from the Contract within ten (10) Contract Years, the Investor can be assessed an early withdrawal charge equal to a maximum of 5% of the amount withdrawn.
For example, if you make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $5,000 on a $100,000 investment.
Please also note that withdrawals from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account are subject to a Market Value Adjustment, which can be either positive or negative (see Appendix B to the full Contract Prospectus).
See “FEE TABLE – Transaction Expenses” and “CHARGES AND FEES – Transaction Fees – Early Withdrawal Charge” in the full Contract Prospectus |
Transaction Charges | In addition to the early withdrawal charge, the Investor may also be charged for other transactions: If you take a Contract Loan from your Account Value, you may be subject to a Loan Initiation Fee not to exceed $125 per loan. • For transferring or reallocating Account Value among the investment options; • Certain Funds may impose redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers or other Fund transactions you may initiate; and • Charges for advisory services due to an independent advisory services agreement between you and an investment adviser may be deducted from Contract value.
See “FEE TABLE – Transaction Expenses” and “CHARGES AND FEES” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) | The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the options you choose. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. A Loan Interest Rate Spread (which is the difference between the rate charged and the rate credited on loans under your contract) or an Annual Loan administration fee is charged until the loan is repaid. These ongoing fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fee due under an independent advisory services agreement with a participant; and if such charges were reflected, these ongoing fees and expenses would be higher. |
Annual Fee | Minimum | Maximum | |
Base Contract Expenses | 1.19%1, 2 | 1.44%1, 2 | |
Investment options (Portfolio Company fees and expenses) |
0.483 | 0.693 |
1 | As a percentage of average Account Value. |
2 | The Base Contract Expenses include (1) the mortality and expense risk charge of 1.19%, which compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the Contract, including those risks associated with our funding of the death benefit; (2) an administrative expense charge equal to 0.25% annually of your Account Value invested in the Subaccounts; and (3) a $30 annual maintenance fee converted to an annual percentage equal to 0.00081651%. We currently do not impose the administrative expense charge under the Contract; however, we reserve the right to do so. The maximum amount includes the 0.25% administrative expense charge, while the minimum amount does not. The annual maintenance fee may be waived in certain circumstances and the minimum amount reflects this waiver. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Periodic Fees and Charges” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
3 | These expenses, which include management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or service fees and other expenses, do not take into account any fee waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements that may apply. These expenses are for the year ended December 31, 2023, and will vary from year to year. |
ISP.75980A-24 | 5 |
FEES AND EXPENSES (continued from previous page) | |
Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) | Because your Contract is customizable, the choices you make affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your Contract, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year based on current charges. This estimate assumes that you do not take withdrawals from the Contract, which could add surrender charges that substantially increase costs. |
Lowest Annual Cost Estimate: $1,623 |
Highest
Annual Cost Estimate: $1,793 | |
Assumes: • Investment of $100,000; • 5% annual appreciation; • No optional benefits; • Fees and expenses of least expensive Fund; • No sales charges or advisory fees; and • No additional Purchase Payments, transfers or withdrawals. |

RISKS | |
Risk of Loss | An Investor can lose money by investing in the Contract.
See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
Not a Short–Term Investment | This Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an Investor who needs ready access to cash. The Contract is typically most useful as part of a personal retirement plan. Early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan and may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. You should not participate in this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or expect to make withdrawals before you are age 59½. You may not receive any distribution before retirement, except upon reaching age 70½ or terminating employment with Texas public institutions of higher learning
See “PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE CONTRACT” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
Risks Associated with Investment Options
|
An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the investment options available under the Contract. Each investment option (including the Guaranteed Accumulation Account and the Fixed Account) will have its own unique risks, and you should review these investment options before making an investment decision. If all or a portion of your Account Value in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account is withdrawn, you could experience a loss as to the amount invested in that account.
See “THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS – The Variable Investment Options” and APPENDIX A, APPENDIX B and APPENDIX C in the full Contract Prospectus and “APPENDIX A: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT” to this summary prospectus. |
Insurance Company Risks | An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to VRIAC, including that any obligations, including under the Fixed Interest Options, guarantees or benefits are subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of VRIAC. More information about VRIAC, including its financial strength and claims paying ability, is available upon request, by contacting Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000.
See “THE CONTRACT – The General Account” in the full Contract Prospectus. |

Electronic trading privileges will be suspended if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that our Excessive Trading Policy has been violated.
See “THE INVESTMENT OPTIONS – Selecting Investment Options and Right to Change the Separate Account” and “THE CONTRACT – Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
Optional Benefits | • We may discontinue or restrict the availability of an optional benefit; • Benefits available to you may vary based on employer and state approval. Participants should refer to their plan documents for available benefits; and • If a participant elects to pay advisory fees from the Variable Investment Options, such deductions will reduce the death benefit amount and also may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% federal tax penalty.
See “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS – Availability of Systematic Distribution Options” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
TAXES | |
Tax Implications | • You should consult with a tax and/or legal adviser to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and distributions received under, the Contract; • There is no additional tax benefit to the Investor if the Contract is purchased through a tax-qualified plan or IRA; and • Withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax and may be subject to tax penalties.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST | |
Investment Professional Compensation | • We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the Contract. • Compensation may be paid in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the agreement between the broker/dealers and the registered representative. • Because of this sales-based compensation, an investment professional may have a financial incentive to offer or recommend the Contract over another investment.
See “OTHER TOPICS – Contract Distribution” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
Exchanges | Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new Contract in place of the one you own. You should exchange your Contract only if you determine, after comparing the features, fees and risks of both contracts, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own the existing Contract.

OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT
This summary provides a brief overview of the more significant aspects of the Contract. Further detail is provided in this summary prospectus, the Contract and the summary or full prospectuses for the Funds being considered. We urge you to read the entire summary prospectus as it describes all material features and benefits of the Contract and your rights and limitations thereunder. It also sets forth information you should know before making the decision to participate in the Contract through your retirement plan. Certain features and benefits may vary depending on the state in which your Contract is issued.
Purpose
The Contract described in this summary prospectus is a group installment variable annuity contract. It is intended to be used as a funding vehicle for certain types of retirement plans and to qualify for beneficial tax treatment under Tax Code Section 401 (“Corporate 401 Contract”).
The Contract is designed for Investors who intend to accumulate funds for retirement purposes, and thus is best suited for those with a long investment horizon. The Contract should not be viewed as a highly liquid investment. In that regard, early withdrawals may be restricted by the Tax Code or your plan and may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. The value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time your money is left in your Contract. For these reasons, you should not participate in the Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment. When considering whether to purchase or participate in the Contract, you should consult with your financial representative about your financial goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance.
Phases of Contract
The Contract has two phases: An Accumulation Phase and an Income Phase.
Accumulation Phase: During the Accumulation Phase, the Contract Holder or you, if permitted by your plan, directs us to invest your Purchase Payments or Account Value among the follow investment options:
• | Variable Investment Options; and/or |
• | Fixed Interest Options. |
Income Phase: During the Income Phase, you start receiving annuity, or Income Phase, payments from your Contract. The Contract offers several Income Phase payment options. However, you will be unable to make withdrawals, and any death benefits and living benefits will terminate. In general, you may:
• | Receive Income Phase payments over a lifetime or for a specified period; |
• | Receive Income Phase payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually; |
• | Select an Income Phase option that provides a death benefit to Beneficiaries; or |
• | Select fixed Income Phase payments or payments that vary based on the performance of the Variable Investment Options you select. |
For more information about the Income Phase, see “THE INCOME PHASE” in the full prospectus.
The Variable Investment Options
The Variable Investment Options are Subaccounts within the Separate Account. Each Subaccount invests its assets directly in shares of a corresponding underlying Fund, and each Fund has its own distinct investment objectives, fees and expenses and investment advisers. Earnings on amounts invested in a Subaccount will vary depending upon the performance and fees of the corresponding underlying Fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the Funds. Additional information about each underlying fund is set forth in an appendix to this summary prospectus. See “APPENDIX: FUNDS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.”
ISP.75980A-24 | 8 |
There is no guarantee that your Account Value will increase. Depending upon the investment experience of each Fund in which a Subaccount invests, your Account Value may increase or decrease daily. You bear the investment risk for the Funds in which the Subaccounts invest; you will benefit from favorable investment experience but also bear the risk of poor investment performance.
The Fixed Interest Options
The following Fixed Interest Options may be available through the Contract:
• | The Guaranteed Accumulation Account; and |
• | The Fixed Account. |
Not all Fixed Interest Options may be available for current or future investment. For descriptions of the Fixed Interest Options that may be available through the Contract, see AppendiX B and APPENDIX C in the full Contract Prospectus and the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus. The Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus may be obtained free of charge by calling Customer Service at 0-000-000-0000.
Contract Features
Death Benefit. A Beneficiary may receive a death benefit in the event of your death during both the Accumulation and Income Phases (described above). If made available under your Contract, you can elect the Return of Purchase Payment Death Benefit or the Adjusted Purchase Payment Guaranteed Death Benefit. The availability of a death benefit during the Income Phase depends upon the Income Phase annuity payment option selected. See the “Benefits Available Under the Contract” below.
The death benefit will be based on your Account Value. For amounts held in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, any positive aggregate market value adjustment (the sum of all market value adjustments calculated due to a withdrawal) will be included in your Account Value. If a negative aggregate market value adjustment applies, it would be deducted only if the death benefit is paid more than six months after your death. We describe the market value adjustment in APPENDIX B in the full Contract Prospectus and in the Guaranteed Accumulation Account prospectus.
The death benefit is calculated as of the next time we value your account following the date on which Customer Service receives proof of death and a payment request in Good Order. In addition to this amount, some states require we pay interest on amounts invested in Fixed Interest Options, calculated from date of death at a rate specified by state law.
Withdrawals. During the Accumulation Phase the Contract Holder may withdraw all or a part of the plan or individual Account Value. Amounts withdrawn may be subject to an early withdrawal charge, other deductions, tax withholding and taxation.
Charges for Advisory Services. A participant may enter into an agreement with an independent investment adviser that will provide agreed-upon advisory services and may arrange to have the advisory fees deducted from the Variable Investment Options, in which case such deductions will reduce the death benefit payable under the participant’s Contract, they may be treated as withdrawals, and they may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% penalty tax. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Charges for Advisory Services” in the full Contract Prospectus.
Taxation. Taxes will generally be due when you receive a distribution. Tax penalties may apply in some circumstances. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full Contract Prospectus.

Benefits Available Under the Contract
Optional Benefit:
There are no optional benefits under the Contract.
BUYING THE CONTRACT
Purchasing the Contract
To purchase the Contract:
• | The Contract Holder submits the required forms and application to the Company; and |
• | We approve the forms and issue a Contract to the Contract Holder. |
The Contract described in this summary prospectus is designed as a funding vehicle for corporate plans designed to qualify for beneficial tax treatment under Tax Code Section 401 (“Corporate 401 Contracts”).
The Corporate 401 Contracts covered by this summary prospectus were available only for conversions through the Company’s rewrite program. Those eligible for these Contracts were Contract Holders of Individual Pension Trust contracts issued prior to May 1, 1975, who elected to stop payments to their existing contract and direct future payments to the new Contracts.
The Company no longer issues the Contract described in this summary prospectus to new retirement plans.
Participating in the Contract
If the Contract provides for the establishment of individual accounts for employees under the plan:
• | We provide you with enrollment materials for completion and return to us; and |
• | If your enrollment materials are complete and in Good Order, we establish one or more accounts for you. |
Types of Contracts
Generally, a single master group Contract is issued to cover present and future participants. The following types of Contracts are available:
• | Allocated – Individual accounts are established and individual Purchase Payments are directed to each corresponding account; and |
• | Unallocated – No individual accounts are established and all Purchase Payments are directed to a single plan account. |
If state law did not permit a group contract, individual Contracts were issued for each participant.
ISP.75980A-24 | 10 |
Methods of Purchase Payment
Purchase Payments must be large enough to fulfill the terms of the plan.
Allocation of Purchase Payments
The Contract Holder or you, if allowed by the Contract Holder, directs us to allocate initial Purchase Payments among the investment options available under the plan. Generally you will specify this information on your enrollment materials or it may be provided to us by the Contract Holder. After enrollment, changes to allocations for future Purchase Payments or transfers of existing balances among investment options may be requested in writing, by telephone or electronically at xxx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx or through such other means as may be available under our administrative procedures in effect from time to time. Allocations must be in whole percentages. See “THE Investment Options” in the full Contract Prospectus.
Tax Code Restrictions
The Tax Code places some limitations on contributions to your account. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full Contract Prospectus.
When Initial and Subsequent Purchase Payments Are Credited
Initial Purchase Payment. We must accept or reject an application or your enrollment materials within two business days of receipt. If the forms are incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying Purchase Payments for five business days, unless you consent to our holding them longer. Under limited circumstances, we may also agree, for a particular plan, to hold Purchase Payments for longer periods with the permission of the Contract Holder. If we agree to do this, the Purchase Payments remain in a non-interest bearing bank account until processed (or for a maximum of 105 days). If we reject the application or enrollment forms, we will return the forms and any Purchase Payments.
Subsequent Purchase Payments. If all or a portion of initial Purchase Payments are directed to the Subaccounts, they will purchase Subaccount Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value next computed after our acceptance of the applicable application or enrollment forms, as described in “CONTRACT PURCHASE AND PARTICIPATION” in the full Contract Prospectus. Subsequent Purchase Payments or transfers directed to the Subaccounts that we receive in Good Order by the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) will purchase Subaccount Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value computed as of the close of the NYSE on that day. The value of Subaccounts may vary day to day. Subsequent Purchase Payments and transfers received in Good Order after the close of the NYSE will purchase Accumulation Units at the Accumulation Unit Value computed as of the close of the NYSE on the next business day.
MAKING WITHDRAWALS: ACCESSING THE MONEY IN YOUR CONTRACT
Withdrawals
Subject to limitations on withdrawals from the Fixed Interest Options and other restrictions (see “Withdrawal Restrictions” in this section), the Contract Holder may withdraw all or a portion of the individual or plan Account Value at any time during the Accumulation Phase.
ISP.75980A-24 | 11 |
Steps for Making a Withdrawal
The Contract Holder must:
• | Select the Withdrawal Amount: |
• | Full Withdrawal: The Contract Holder will receive, reduced by any required tax, the Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts, the Guaranteed Accumulation Account (plus or minus any applicable market value adjustment) and the Fixed Account, minus any applicable early withdrawal charge, annual maintenance fee and redemption fees; or |
• | Partial Withdrawal (Percentage or Specified Dollar Amount): The Contract Holder will receive, reduced by any required tax, the amount specified, subject to the value available in the account. However, the amount actually withdrawn from the account will be adjusted by any applicable early withdrawal charge or redemption fees and any positive or negative market value adjustment for amounts withdrawn from the Guaranteed Accumulation Account; |
• | Select Investment Options. If not specified, we will withdraw dollars in the same proportion as the values you hold in the various investment options from each investment option in which you have an Account Value; and |
• | Properly complete a disbursement form and submit it to Customer Service. |
For amounts withdrawn from Account Value allocated to the Subaccounts, we will redeem the number of Accumulation Units needed to fund the withdrawal and reduce your Account Value accordingly. For amounts withdrawn withdraw from a Fixed Interest Option, we will reduce the value of the Fixed Interest Option by the dollar amount of that portion of the withdrawal (and with respect to the Guaranteed Accumulation Account, will reflect any positive or negative market value adjustment) and will reduce your Account Value accordingly. A reduction to the Account Value due to a withdrawal results in a lesser amount available to be annuitized and a lesser death benefit.
Calculation of Your Withdrawal
We determine your Account Value every normal business day after the close of the NYSE. We pay withdrawal amounts based on your Account Value either:
• | As of the next valuation after Customer Service receives a request for withdrawal in Good Order; or |
• | On such later date as specified on the disbursement form. |
Delivery of Payment
Payments for withdrawal requests will be made in accordance with SEC requirements. Normally, we will send your payment no later than seven calendar days following our receipt of your disbursement form in Good Order.
Withdrawal Restrictions
The Tax Code and/or your plan may impose limitations on withdrawals. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations – Distributions – Eligibility” in the full Contract Prospectus.
Systematic Distribution Options
If available under your plan, a systematic distribution option allows you to receive regular payments from your account without moving into the Income Phase. By remaining in the Accumulation Phase, you retain certain rights and investment flexibility not available during the Income Phase. Because the account remains in the Accumulation Phase, all Accumulation Phase charges continue to apply.
Systematic Distribution Options Currently Available
These options may be exercised at any time during the Accumulation Phase of the Contract. To exercise one of these options, the Account Value must meet any minimum dollar amount and age criteria applicable to that option. To determine what systematic distribution options are available, please write or call Customer Service.
ISP.75980A-24 | 12 |
Systematic distribution options currently available under the Contract include the following:
• | Systematic Withdrawal Option (“SWO”) – SWO is a series of partial withdrawals from your account based on a payment method you select. It is designed for those who want a periodic income while retaining Accumulation Phase investment flexibility for amounts accumulated under the account; and |
• | Estate Conservation Option (“ECO”) – ECO offers the same investment flexibility as SWO, but is designed for those who want to receive only the minimum distribution that the Tax Code requires each year. Under ECO, the Company calculates the minimum distribution amount required by law (generally at age 73 or such other age as prescribed by the Tax Code section 401(a)(9)) or retirement, if later) and pays you that amount once a year. |
Other Systematic Distribution Options
We may add additional systematic distribution options from time to time. Additional information relating to any of the systematic distribution options may be obtained from your local representative or by contacting Customer Service.
Availability of Systematic Distribution Options
The Company reserves the right to discontinue the availability of one or all of the systematic distribution options at any time, and/or to change the terms for future elections.
Electing a Systematic Distribution Option
The Contract Holder on your behalf may elect a systematic distribution option.
Terminating a Systematic Distribution Option
Once a systematic distribution option is elected, the Contract Holder may revoke it at any time by submitting a written request to Customer Service. Any revocation will apply only to the amount yet to be paid. Once revoked, an option may not be elected again until the next calendar year, nor may any other systematic distribution option be elected, unless the Tax Code permits it.
Charges for Advisory Services. A participant may enter into an agreement with an independent investment adviser that will provide agreed-upon advisory services and may arrange to have the advisory fees deducted from the Variable Investment Options, in which case such deductions will reduce the death benefit payable under the participant’s Contract, they may be treated as withdrawals, and they may be subject to federal and state income taxes and a 10% penalty tax. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Charges for Advisory Services.”
Tax Consequences
Withdrawals received through these options and revocations of elections may have tax consequences. See “FEDERAL Tax Considerations” in the full Contract Prospectus.

However, we reserve the right to impose a transfer fee of $10.00 for each transfer or allocation change in excess of 12 during each calendar year. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Transaction Fees - Allocation and Transfer Fees” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
6 | We reserve the right to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your Account Value or from payments to the Account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. See “CHARGES AND Fees ‒ Premium and Other Taxes” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
7 | This fee is deducted from each individual or plan account. It may be reduced or waived in certain circumstances. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Periodic Fees and Charges – Annual Maintenance Fee” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
8 | The mortality and expense risk charge, included in the base contract expenses, compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the Contract, including those risks associated with our funding of the death benefit. We currently do not impose the administrative expense charge under the Contract (although we reserve the right to do so); consequently it is not included in the base contract expenses. See “CHARGES AND FEES – Periodic Fees and Charges” in the full Contract Prospectus. |
9 | Any expense waivers or reimbursements will remain in effect until at least April 30, 2024, and can only be terminated early with approval by the Fund company’s board of directors. |

Examples
These examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Contract with the cost of investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses and annual Fund expenses.
The following examples assume that you invest $100,000 in the Contract for the time periods indicated. The Examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and assume the most expensive combination of annual Fund expenses. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:
Example A: If you withdraw your entire Account Value at the end of the applicable time period: | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
$7,143
|
$11,627
|
$15,227
|
$22,870
| |
Example B: If you do not withdraw your entire Account Value or if you select an Income Phase payment option at the end of the applicable time period:* | 1 Year | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years |
$1,991
|
$6,158
|
$10,581
|
$22,870
|
* | Example B will not apply if during the Income Phase a nonlifetime payment option is elected with variable payments and a lump-sum payment is requested within three years after payments start. In that case, the lump-sum payment is treated as a withdrawal during the Accumulation Phase and may be subject to an early withdrawal charge. Refer to Example A. |
