MEMBERS® HORIZON VARIABLE ANNUITY

PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 2016

This supplement updates the prospectus for the variable annuity contract listed above and contains information that you should read and maintain for future reference. Please keep this supplement with your records.

The Board of Trustees of the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust has notified us that it has approved a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution of the Franklin High Income VIP Fund (the “Fund”) pursuant to which the Fund will liquidate on or about April 21, 2017 (the “liquidation date”). The Board of Trustees of the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust has determined that the Liquidation and Dissolution of the Fund is in the best interest of the Fund and their shareholders. As of the liquidation date, the Fund will no longer be available as an investment option under your Contract. All Contract Value remaining in the Subaccounts investing in the Fund (the “Franklin Subaccount”) on the liquidation date will be transferred automatically to the Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Money Market Portfolio (the “Vanguard Money Market Subaccount”). After the liquidation date, any automatic transaction that involved the Franklin Subaccount, such as automatic rebalancing, instead will involve the Vanguard Money Market Subaccount. For example, if your Variable Subaccount Allocation includes the Franklin Subaccount, as of the liquidation date, your Vanguard Money Market Subaccount allocation will be increased by the current allocation to the Franklin Subaccount and rebalancing will occur based on the new Allocation Levels.

From the date of this supplement until the liquidation date, you may transfer from the Franklin Subaccount to any other Subaccount (as permitted by your Contract) without that transfer counting as a transfer that is subject to the transfer processing fee. If you have Contract Value invested in the Franklin Subaccount on the liquidation date and it is automatically transferred into the Vanguard Money Market Subaccount, you may transfer from the Vanguard Money Market Subaccount to any other Subaccount (as permitted by your Contract) for 60 days after the liquidation date without that transfer counting as a transfer that is subject to the transfer processing fee. Also, you may want to change any automatic transactions that you elected. You should know that during extended periods of low interest rates, and partly as a result of insurance charges, the yields of the Vanguard Money Market Subaccount may become extremely low and possibly negative. There is no assurance that the Vanguard Variable Insurance Fund Money Market Portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share.
