Withdrawal provisions: The GCU currently allows for surrender charge free withdrawals in each contract year. Year One = 10% of the initial deposit. Years Two thru Five = 20% in each year based on the account value at the end of the previous contract year. Withdrawals exceeding the permitted amounts will be subject to a surrender charge. Surrender charges in the first year are 9%, and are reduced by 2% in each subsequent year of the five-year contract. (9% — 7% — 5% — 3% — 1%).
