Who needs low-cost protection to last until retirement.“

WE HAVE THE SOLUTION:

AG ROP Select-a-Term® Insurance

With AG ROP Select-a-Term, you can offer your client affordable, guaranteed protection with something extra when coverage ends—their premiums paid back in cash, to help transition into retirement.

Many people buy term life insurance to provide basic coverage for their families during their working years. But what happens when coverage ends? With AG ROP Select-a-Term, when your client lives until the end of the level premium period, they have the option of surrendering their policy to receive back the base premiums paid over the life of the policy. That’s guaranteed money back—and zero net cost (excluding any adjustment for time value of money) for long-term, guaranteed coverage!1

1 AG ROP Select-a-Term accumulates a cash value that starts no later than the fifth policy year. At the end of the level premium period, the cash value of the in-force policy equals the total of cumulative premiums paid, less any charges for substandard ratings and riders. If the client surrenders the policy, this amount is paid out, minus any outstanding loan balance. The cash surrender payment does not take into account the time value of money. Alternatively, the same amount may be rolled into a permanent plan of insurance should the insured be eligible for and choose to exercise the conversion option. Coverage may also be continued beyond the level premium period by payment of increasing annual premiums, and the policy will continue to build cash value until the policy anniversary nearest the insured’s 95th birthday when the cash value will equal the face amount of the policy. The cash value, minus any outstanding loan balance, will then be distributed as the endowment benefit if the policy is in force and the insured is then living. The cash value and endowment benefit are subject to all terms and conditions detailed in the policy.

Reminder of Company Policy:Approval and Use of Producer-Generated Sales Material

A quick review of the Agency Agreement and the Compliance Manual will remind you the Company must approve all producer-generated sales material, including materials distributed or posted on the Internet, prior to its use for soliciting or recruiting. Agents and agencies must also resubmit advertising material if it is to be used more than 12 months after the date of the initial or subsequent approval, or if any aspect of the content, audience, format or distribution of the material has changed. There are no exceptions to this policy. Note the approval is only effective for the purpose for which approval was sought and will expire 12 months from the date of approval or sooner if the item is rendered obsolete by Company changes with respect to the subject of the sales material.

For a complete description of what is included as “sales material” and further information concerning Company policy for use and approval of sales material and Internet advertising, please refer to the Compliance Manual.

1. Forward your “Cover Notice” and sales material to the following:

Mailing Address: American General Life Companies Advertising Review Department 2727-A Allen Parkway, 2-G7 Houston, Texas 77019

For Faster Service: E-mail [email protected]

2. Required Documentation. In your submission cover note, tell us:

How the material will be distributed (newspaper, video, periodical, Internet [including Web site address], flyer, mailer, etc.)

State(s) where the material will be distributed

Frequency of distribution and duration of use

Target audience (producer recruiting or consumer)

Publication deadlines

3. Plan Ahead. Submit materials sufficiently in advance (at least one week) to allow for the complete review process.

American General Life Companies

Important Update: For your convenience an interactive “Cover Notice” in PDF format was created to facilitate the submission of producer generated sales material for review. The “Cover Notice” allows the end user to type directly on the form, save it, attach to e-mail and submit to ARD. We strongly encourage the use of this “Cover Notice” as it captures valuable information essential to begin the review process. The “Cover Notice” is located at the end of this field bulletin.

FOR PRODUCER USE ONLY – NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO THE PUBLIC

4. Internet Web Sites. The same guidelines that apply to advertisements in other media apply to those found on Internet Web sites. However, the disclosures set forth below must also be included.

“Products and agency services may not be available in all states.”

“(Name of producer) is licensed for life and health products in (those states where the producer is properly licensed).”

The disclosures should be positioned on the first page of the site if the system is non-interactive, or on a separate page (i.e., pop-up screen) if the system is partially interactive. The “pop-up” page must appear prior to any actual rates shown.

If the site is interactive, it must have a disclosure notice appear each time the applicant inputs his or her state of residence (e.g., applicant inputs state of residence as “Utah,” and the producer is not licensed there or the product is not available in that state, then a disclosure must appear which informs the applicant of this fact and terminates the process.) Thus, no rates will be shown until the site logic determines that the product is available and the producer is properly licensed.

Under no circumstances should pages be made available to print from a Web site without the above referenced disclosures.

5. American General Life Companies Logo Usage. The following guidelines apply when using the American General Life Companies Logo:

The American General Life Companies logo may be used only on (1) a producer only use/recruiting print advertising; or (2) a producer public Web site, provided the logo is hyperlinked to the American General Life Companies Web site, (www.americangeneral.com).

For printed advertising distributed for public use, the American General Life Companies logo should be relegated to text form only.
