MEMBERS® Horizon | Custom Investment Options Options for every investor. With MEMBERS® Horizon Annuities, you can expand your approach to capture growth but also limit downside risk. The variable portfolio side of Horizon gives you the freedom to diversify your money among a wide variety of funds from different asset classes. Your decision to choose among funds will depend on how much growth you seek, how much risk you’re willing to accept and whether those preferences suggest you should steer toward active or passive funds. Horizon offers you fund choices based on your risk tolerance — whether you’re a conservative, moderate or aggressive investor — as well as your investment style. >> Active funds attempt to beat the market over time through security selection and market evaluation. These variable subaccounts employ sophisticated analytical techniques and may carry higher investment management fees as a result. >> Passive funds are lower cost subaccounts and often seek simply to match the performance of a market index. Other passive funds use strategic techniques to improve performance relative to index benchmarks. As a way to balance costs and growth potential, many investors choose a blend of active and passive style funds for the variable side of their portfolio, or they may look to keep costs as low as possible by using only passive funds. Please review the fund prospectus for details on investment objectives. Professional money management Horizon’s variable subaccount investments are managed by professionals who have been carefully chosen as specialists in specific asset classes and investment styles. All investment firms are highly recognized within the industry and adhere to a consistent and disciplined investment process.

MEMBERS® Horizon | Custom Investment Options Important Disclosures Annuities are long-term insurance products designed for retirement purposes. Many variable annuities offer four main features: (1) a selection of investment options, (2) tax-deferred earnings accumulation, (3) guaranteed lifetime payout options, and (4) death benefit options. Before investing, you should consider the annuity’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. The prospectus contains this and other information. Please read it carefully. To obtain a prospectus, contact your advisor, log on to cmannuities.com or call 888.888.3940. This material is informational only and is not investment advice. If you need advice regarding your financial goals and investment needs, contact a financial advisor. All guarantees are backed by the claims-paying ability of the issuer and do not extend to the performance of the underlying accounts which can fluctuate with changes in market conditions. Annuity contract values, death benefits and other values fluctuate based on the performance of the investment options and may be worth more or less than your total purchase payment when surrendered. Withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges and may also be subject to a market value adjustment (MVA). The MVA can have a positive or negative impact on contract values, depending on how interest rates have changed since the contract was issued. The range of fees and charges includes contract fees of 1.50% to 1.75%, surrender charges of 0% to 9% and management fees that vary by variable subaccount investment option. Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to ordinary income tax, and if taken before age 59 ½ may be subject to a 10% federal tax penalty. If you are considering purchasing an annuity as an IRA or other tax-qualified plan, you should consider benefits other than tax deferral since those plans already provide tax-deferred status. The company does not provide tax or legal advice. Contact a licensed professional. Hypothetical examples do not represent any specific annuity contract and may not be used to project or predict investment results. You may not invest directly in an index. Rate caps vary by index and by risk control account and can be adjusted annually on risk control account anniversary, subject to a minimum rate cap of 1% and a bailout provision. A bailout rate is set for each risk control account. If the rate cap for a given year is declared below that rate, you may transfer your value from that risk control account to the variable subaccounts. You’ll have 30 days after your risk control account anniversary to make this transfer. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. There is no guarantee that the S&P 500 Index or MSCI EAFE Index will be available during the entire time you own your contract. We reserve the right to add, delete or substitute an index. If we substitute an index, the performance of the new index may differ from the original index. This, in turn, may affect the performance of your risk control accounts. We will not substitute an index until approved by the insurance department in your state. We reserve the right to add or substitute a risk control account. We will notify you of any change in a risk control account or Index in advance. Notification will be in your annual report unless timing of any such change would cause us to send notification prior to your risk control account anniversary.
