Waivers
Bail-Out
If Athene lowers the declared 1-Year Point-to-Point S&P 500 Index Strategy Annual Cap Rate below the Bailout Cap Rate, you’ll have full access to your annuity’s Accumulated Value — free of any charges for up to 30 days after the Contract Anniversary in which the Bailout Cap Rate was pierced. After the 30-day Bailout Window, all charges may apply.
Terminal Illness
Unavailable in states: CA
You can withdraw up to 100% of your annuity’s Accumulated Value if the Annuitant is diagnosed with a Terminal Illness that is expected to result in death within one-year and you meet the eligibility requirements. This waiver is available after your first Contract Anniversary. You may not be diagnosed during the first Contract Year. Additional limitations, state variations and exclusions may apply. Please see the Certificate of Disclosure for more information.
Confinement
Unavailable in states: CA
After the first Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 100% of your annuity’s Accumulated Value if the Annuitant is confined to a Qualified Care facility for at least 60 consecutive days and meets the eligibility requirements. Confinement must begin after the first contract year. Additional limitations, state variations and exclusions may apply. Please see the Certificate of Disclosure for more information.
Withdrawal Provisions
Beginning in the first Contract Year, you can withdraw up to 10% of your annuity’s Accumulated Value each Contract Year without a Withdrawal Charge, Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustment or MVA. Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are considered part of your Free Withdrawal, free of a Withdrawal Charge, Premium Bonus Vesting Adjustment and MVA, for the Contract Year.
Market Value Adjustment
A Market Value Adjustment applies to withdrawals in excess of the free withdrawal amount and full surrenders during the withdrawal charge period. If you take a withdrawal before the end of your withdrawal charge period, an MVA will be applied to that withdrawal. The MVA may increase or decrease the amount of the Withdrawal or Cash Surrender Value of your Contract depending on the change in interest rates.
If interest rates have increased, stayed the same, or decreased by less than 0.25%, the MVA will be negative. If interest rates have decreased by more than 0.25%, the MVA will be positive.
