22 Dividend Options for ParPlus & ParPlus Junior Paid in cash Premium reduction Accumulation Paid-up additions Under this option dividends will simply be paid to you at the policy anniversary. Please note that dividends may be taxable. Under this option dividends are applied to pay part/all of the policy premium, thus reducing your net payable premium. Please note that dividends may be taxable. Under this option, the dividends are left to accumulate on the policy and will earn interest at the policy anniversary at the predetermined interest rate set by the Company. Any interest earned on dividends is taxable; dividends may also be taxable. Under this option, dividends are used to purchase paid-up additions to increase the death benefit. The amounts of paid-up additions may vary from those illustrated, since they are purchased with the dividends which are not guaranteed. If PUA is not selected at time of purchase, medical underwriting will be necessary to choose this option at a later date. Under this option, dividends are used to purchase enhanced insurance, which is a combination of one-year term insurance and paid-up additions. The sum of this combination is guaranteed not to be less than the enhanced insurance s initial sum insured during the first 15 policy years if the 15-year guarantee is chosen or until the attained age 100 or the equivalent age equivalent of 100 in the case of a joint policy if the guarantee to attained age 100 is chosen under the Enhanced option. Enhanced - 15-year guarantee - Guarantee to attained age 100 During the first policy year, a one-year term insurance equal to the enhanced insurance initial sum insured is automatically provided. After the first policy year, any dividend credited on the policy anniversary will be used firstly to purchase as much paid-up additions as possible while leaving a sufficient amount to purchase the one-year term insurance to attain the enhanced insurance initial sum insured. The amount of insurance purchased by dividends in subsequent years is the difference between the enhanced insurance initial sum insured and the cumulative total paid-up additions in force. When the Enhanced option with 15-year guarantee is chosen, should the dividend amount not suffice to purchase the one-year term insurance required to attain the enhanced insurance initial sum insured from the 16th policy year on, no paid-up additions will be purchased and the total dividend will be used to purchase the maximum one-year term insurance. The total death benefit will then decrease accordingly for the policy year in which the dividend was insufficient. The Enhanced option is only available at time of purchase, However, if selected, the Enhanced option can be changed to any of the other four dividend options at a later date.
