Definition of Terms

Standard Segment - For Standard Segments, the Segment Rate of Return is equal to the index performance rate, subject to the Performance Cap Rate and Segment Buffer.

Dual Direction Segment - Any Segment belonging to a Segment Type whose name includes “Dual Direction.” Dual Direction Segments measure the performance of the index from Segment Start Date to Segment Maturity Date. If the corresponding index performance rate exceeds the Performance Cap Rate during this time period, you receive the Performance Cap Rate. If the index performance rate is between the Performance Cap Rate and Segment Buffer (inclusive of both), you receive the absolute value of the index performance rate. If the index performance rate is less than the Segment Buffer, the Segment Buffer will absorb up to the first 15% of the loss depending on the Segment Buffer you elect.

Annual Lock Segment - Any multiyear duration Segment belonging to a Segment Type whose name includes “Annual Lock.” Unlike other Segments, your return is cumulatively calculated based on index performance each Annual Lock Period, subject to the Performance Cap Rate and Segment Buffer.

Enhanced Upside Segment - An Enhanced Upside Segment is any Segment belonging to a Segment Type whose name includes “Enhanced Upside.” For the Enhanced Upside Segment, the Segment Rate of Return is equal to the lesser of the Performance Cap Rate or the index performance rate multiplied by the Enhanced Upside Rate if the index performance rate is positive. The Enhanced Upside Rate is a percentage that is used to multiply a positive index performance rate.

Step Up Segment - Any Segment belonging to a Segment Type whose name includes “Step Up.” For Step Up Segments, the Segment Rate of Return is equal to the Performance Cap Rate if the index performance rate for that Segment is greater than or equal to zero on the Segment Maturity Date.

Disclosure

This page was prepared to support the promotion and marketing of Equitable Financial variable annuities. Equitable Financial, its distributors and their respective representatives do not provide tax, accounting or legal advice. Any tax statements contained herein were not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding U.S. federal, state or local tax penalties. Please consult your own independent advisors as to any tax, accounting or legal statements made herein.

A variable annuity is a long-term financial product designed for retirement purposes. There are fees and charges associated with a variable annuity contract, which include, but are not limited to, operations charges, sales and withdrawal charges, administrative fees, and additional charges for optional benefits.

All contract and rider guarantees, including optional benefits and any fixed subaccount crediting rates or annuity payout rates, are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuing life insurance company. They are not backed by the broker/dealer or insurance agency from or through which this annuity is purchased, by the insurance agency from which this annuity is purchased or any affiliates of those entities, and none makes any representations or guarantees regarding the claims-paying ability of the issuing life insurance company. Typically, variable annuities contain certain restrictions and limitations. In addition, early withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges and, if taken prior to age 59½, a 10% federal income tax penalty. Variable annuities are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested. Annuities contain certain restrictions and limitations. For costs and complete details, please have the client contact a financial professional.

Transfers or withdrawals during a Segment: If your clients transfer or withdraw all of a Segment’s value prior to the Segment Maturity Date, they may receive less than the Segment Investment. If your clients transfer or withdraw a portion of a Segment’s value prior to the Segment Maturity Date, the Segment Investment will be reduced by a pro rata amount which may be greater than the dollar amount of the transfer or withdrawal, and as a result your Segment Maturity Value may be less than if your clients had held the investment to maturity.

The Variable Investment Options available in Structured Capital Strategies® Income are subject to market risk, including loss of principal. The investment results of these Variable Investment Options do not depend on the investment performance of a related index. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Unlike an index fund, Structured Capital Strategies® Income provides a return at maturity designed to provide a combination of protection against certain decreases in the index and a limitation on participation in certain increases in the index. Structured Capital Strategies® Income does not involve an investment in any underlying portfolio. Instead, it is an obligation of the issuing life insurance company. The Segment Buffer protects your clients from some downside risk. If the negative return is in excess of the Segment Buffer, there is a risk of substantial loss of principal. If you would like a guarantee of principal, Equitable Financial offers other products that provide such guarantees.

Please keep in mind that Equitable Financial, on advance notice to the client, may discontinue, suspend or change Segment offerings and contributions/transfers, or make other changes in contribution and transfer requirements and limitations. A Segment is an investment in a Segment Type, with a specific maturity date. The prospectus contains more information on these limitations and restrictions. Certain features and benefits described herein may not be available in all jurisdictions. In addition, some distributors may eliminate and/or limit the availability of certain features or options, based on annuitant issue age or other criteria. This brochure is not a complete description of the Structured Capital Strategies® Income variable annuity.

If clients are purchasing an annuity contract to fund an IRA or employer-sponsored retirement plan, they should understand that such annuities do not provide tax-deferral benefits beyond those already provided by the Internal Revenue Code. Clients should carefully consider their investment objectives and the charges, risks and expenses, as stipulated in the prospectus, before investing. For a prospectus containing this and other information, a financial professional can call the Sales Desk at 888-517-9900. Please have clients read it carefully before investing or sending money.
