Please note, not all of the Existing Portfolios listed in the table above may be presently offered under your Contract.

On the Substitution Date, any Contract Value allocated to a Variable Investment Option investing in an Existing Portfolio will be automatically transferred to the Variable Investment Option investing in the applicable Replacement Portfolio.

Each Substitution will be effected at the relative net asset value per share of the Existing Portfolio and applicable Replacement Portfolio. Your Contract Value immediately prior to the Substitution will equal your Contract Value immediately after the Substitution. There will be no tax consequences for you as a result of the Substitution. The Substitution will be performed at no cost to you. The fees and charges under your Contract will not increase as a result of the Substitution. Your rights and the Insurance Company’s obligations under your Contract will not be altered in any way.

After the Substitution Date, the Variable Investment Options investing in the Existing Portfolios will no longer be available for investment.


Please note the following information regarding your Substitution transfer rights:

 

   

From the date of this Supplement through the Substitution Date, you may transfer any Contract Value allocated to the Variable Investment Options investing in the Existing Portfolios to any Variable Investment Options available under your Contract free of charge.

 

   

For 30 days after the Substitution Date, you may transfer any Contract Value allocated to the Variable Investment Options investing in the Replacement Portfolios to any Variable Investment Options available under your Contract free of charge.

 

   

Any such transfer will not count against any restrictions or limits on the number of transfers that may be performed under your Contract (except with respect to restrictions to discourage frequent transfer activity as described in the Annuity Prospectuses).

 

   

A transfer request may be made to the Insurance Companies on our website (johnhancock.com/annuities), by sending in a transfer request form, or by telephone (800-344-1029).

Copies of the Replacement Portfolios’ prospectuses accompany this Supplement. You should read them carefully. You can obtain a copy of any Portfolio’s prospectus, without charge, by contacting us at the Annuities Service Center.

You should retain this Supplement for future reference.
