The SecureFore Fixed Annuity Illustration ("Illustration") is based upon minimum guaranteed crediting rates and hypothetical crediting rates. The Illustration is based upon the Owner's age at issue. If the Owner is a non-natural person, then the Annuitant's age will be substituted for that of the Owner. Contract Values shown are assumed to be at the end of the Contract Year Shown. The Illustration assumes you will take no withdrawals from your annuity. Withdrawals will reduce the annuity Contract Value and the Contract Withdrawal Value. Withdrawals in excess of the Free Withdrawal amount may be subject to Withdrawal Charges. Withdraws of taxable amounts are subject to a 10% federal tax penalty if taken before age 59½. Current Interest Rates are not guaranteed and are subject to change by Forethought at any time without notice. This Illustration also assumes the annuity's current non-guaranteed elements will not change. It is likely that they will change and actual values will be higher or lower than those in this Illustration but will not be less than the minimum guarantees. The values in this Illustration are not guarantees or even estimates of the amounts you can expect from your annuity. Please review the SecureFore Important Information Page, the Client Guide and Product Details Sheet for more detailed information. State variations may apply.

Age
This column shows the attained age at the end of
each year.
Contract Value
The accumulated value, using guaranteed interest
rates, at the end of each Contract Year (assuming

It is also the amount available upon the Owner's
death, if it occurs before the annuity payments
begin. The Death Benefit is not affected by
withdrawal charges.
Contract Withdrawal Value with Withdrawal
Charge
The amount available at the end of each year if you
surrender the Contract after deduction of any

Contract Year
All values shown are calculated as of the end of the
contract year shown.
Current Interest Rate
Current Interest Crediting Rates are declared by
Forethought Life Insurance Company. Interest rates
are shown as annual rates with daily crediting.
During the Guaranteed Rate Period, values
developed from the Premium Payment are illustrated
would be declared one year at a time. For the
purposes of this Illustration, the Company's current
initial base interest rate (without the bonus) is used
to calculate the Illustrated Values after the end of the
interest Guaranteed Rate Period. The actual renewal
interest rates will very likely NOT be the same as the
illustrated renewal interest rates.
Guaranteed Interest Rate
The rate of interest shown is an annual rate which is
credited daily based on the Contract Value.
Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit
The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit upon the
Owner's death is the Contract Value.
Withdrawals
10% of the beginning-of-year Contract Value after
the first Contract Year can be withdrawn each year
without incurring Withdrawal Charges, except in any
year where a full surrender occurs. If you withdraw
an amount in excess of the Free Withdrawal amount,
you may be subject to Withdrawal Charges.
Withdrawals of taxable amounts are subject to
ordinary income tax and may be subject to a 10%
federal tax penalty if taken before age 59½.
Withdrawals will also reduce the Death Benefit and
Contract Withdrawal Value.
Hypothetical Illustration: Important Information
Guarantees are backed by the financial strength and claims paying ability of Forethought Life Insurance Company.
This information is written in connection with the promotion or marketing of the matter(s) addressed in this material. The information cannot be used or relied upon for the purpose of avoiding IRS penalties. These materials are not intended to provide tax, accounting or legal advice. As with all matters of a tax or legal nature, you should consult your tax or legal counsel for advice. All riders are subject to state and firm approval and variations.
Taxable distributions (including certain deemed distributions) are subject to ordinary income taxes, and if made prior to age 591/2 may also be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty. Distributions received from a non-qualified contract are taxable to the extent of the income on the contract, and to the extent of untaxed investment income on the funds used to purchase the contract. Payments from IRAs are taxable in accordance with the normal rules surrounding taxation of payments from an IRA. Early surrender charges may also apply. Withdrawals may reduce the death benefit and any optional guaranteed amounts in an amount more than the actual withdrawal.
This Illustration does not take into consideration the potential withdrawal of RMDs that may be associated with a contract issued as an IRA. RMDs from an IRA annuity during the Owner's lifetime, not taken in the form of irrevocably elected annuity payments, are calculated by dividing the value of the annuity contract as of the last day of the preceding year by life expectancy factors established by the IRS. Distributions from traditional Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRA”) are required for each year following the year in which the Owner reaches age 70 ½. Failure to take RMDs may result in a 50% penalty on the amount of required distribution not taken, and the penalty does not relieve the Owner of the responsibility to withdraw the required amount for that year. No RMD is required during lifetime of the Owner of a Roth IRA. Distributions from one IRA may be able to satisfy the RMDs associated with another IRA. Please consult with an attorney, financial advisor, or qualified tax advisor concerning these matters.
If you are investing in a deferred annuity through a tax-advantaged retirement plan such as an IRA, you will receive no additional tax advantage from an annuity. Under these circumstances, you should only consider buying an annuity if it makes sense because of the annuity’s other features, such as principal protection or lifetime income payments.
