Disclosure for Balanced Asset 10 Index™

The Balanced Asset 10 Index™ (the "Index") is the exclusive property of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, together with its affiliates, "CIBC"). CIBC has engaged Bloomberg Index Services Limited ("BISL") to maintain and to make certain calculations related to the Index. "Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce", "CIBC" and "Index" (collectively, the "CIBC Marks") are trademarks or service marks of CIBC. CIBC has licensed use of the Index and the CIBC Marks to Fidelity and Guaranty Life Insurance Company ("F&G") for use in one or more fixed indexed annuities offered by F&G (the "Product(s)"). CIBC is not the issuer of the Products and its sole contractual relationship with F&G is to license the Index and the CIBC Marks to F&G. CIBC developed the Index without considering the needs of F&G or any annuitant. CIBC makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the Index or its development and has no responsibilities, obligations or liabilities with respect to the inception, adjustment, maintenance, operation or calculation of the Index. For more information on the Balanced Asset 10 index, see indices.cibccm.com/CIBQB10E.

None of CIBC, BISL or any other third-party licensor (collectively, the "Index Parties") to CIBC is acting, or has been authorized to act, as an agent of F&G or has in any way sponsored, promoted, solicited, negotiated, endorsed, offered, sold, issued, supported, structured or priced any Products or provided investment advice to F&G. No Index Party is a fiduciary or agent of any purchaser, seller or holder of any Product, or has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, regarding the advisability of purchasing, selling or holding any Product or the ability of the Index to track corresponding or relative market performance. Purchasers of any Product neither acquire any interest in the Index nor enter into any relationship of any kind whatsoever with any of the Index Parties. No Index Party guarantees the timeliness, accurateness, or completeness of the Index or any data or information relating thereto and shall have no liability in connection with the Index or any data or information relating thereto. No Index Party shall have any liability with respect to any Product, nor any liability for any loss relating to any Product, whether arising directly or indirectly from the use of the Index, its methodology, or otherwise. The selection of the Index as a crediting option under any Product does not obligate F&G to invest annuity premiums in the components of the Index. Any obligation to invest annuity premiums received under the Products are determined solely by F&G.

BLOOMBERG is a trademark and service mark of Bloomberg Finance L.P. (collectively with BISL and their other affiliates, "Bloomberg"). Bloomberg is not affiliated with F&G or CIBC. Bloomberg’s association with CIBC is limited to BISL’s role to act as the administrator and calculation agent of the Index, which is the property of CIBC. Bloomberg does not guarantee the timeliness, accurateness, or completeness of the Index or any data or information relating thereto and shall have no liability in connection with the Index or any data or information relating thereto.

In calculating the level of the Index, the index methodology deducts a maintenance fee of 0.85% per year, calculated daily. This fee will reduce the level of the Index and thus the amount of interest, if any, that will be credited to any Product. Furthermore, while the volatility control applied by CIBC as part of the index methodology may result in less fluctuation in rates of return as compared to indices without volatility controls, it may also reduce the overall rate of return for products referencing the Index as compared to other indices not subject to volatility controls.
