Investment Division Inception Date is the date in which the Investment Division is first offered in the product. Portfolio Inception Date is the date that the Portfolio in which the Investment Division invests was first offered. 2 Assumes no deduction for contingent deferred sales charge. 3 Volatility/Risk Levels are assigned by New York Life. The Investment Divisions are grouped by risk classifications that reflect performance volatility based on Morningstar classifications as of December 31, 2019. Morningstar is a widely used independent research firm, which ranks mutual funds and other investment companies by overall performance, investment objectives and assets. Policy owners need to keep in mind, as applicable, that equity investments have been volatile historically. Investment options concentrated in bonds fluctuate in value in response to changes in interest rates. High-yield securities are generally considered speculative because they present a greater risk of loss than higher-quality debt securities and may be subject to greater price volatility. Non-US securities are subject to currency fluctuation risks and the risks of political and economic instability in the country of issuance. Investment options which are concentrated in economic sectors may be more volatile than more broadly diversified portfolios. While there is no standard definition, generally "alternative" funds include nontraditional asset classes or strategies and/or illiquid assets. Alternative investments are speculative, can carry substantial risk, and may not be appropriate for all investors. For those investors who are able to bear greater risk in return for the opportunity they provide, alternative investments may be appropriate. 4 The New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity was first offered for sale on June 27, 2009. Certain Portfolios existed prior to that date. The performance for MainStay VP Series Fund, Inc. portfolios are based on Initial Class Portfolio Inception Date (where applicable). The performance for all other investment divisions is based on the Portfolio Inception Date reflected in this performance summary. All performance has been modified to reflect Separate Account and Fund annual expenses as if the policy had been available during the periods shown. The New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity - Premium Based M&E Charge Structure differs from many other variable annuity policies in that the Mortality and Expense Risk and Administrative Costs Charge (M&E) is calculated as a percentage of your Adjusted Premium Payments under the policy (excluding premiums allocated to the Fixed Account), rather than as percentage of Separate Account assets. Therefore, the 1.75% M&E charge is not reflected in the performance of the Investment Divisions, but will be deducted quarterly by reducing the number of Accumulation Units in the Investment Divisions you have selected. Since market performance is reflected through fluctuations in the value of an Accumulation Unit, owning fewer Accumulation Units over time will result in a gradual reduction in the value of the Policy, regardless of market performance, when compared to the result of a traditional charge structure. Please refer to your prospectus for more details. This version of the New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity invests in the New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation (NYLIAC) Separate Account IV. 5 The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index and is widely regarded as the standard for measuring Large -Cap U.S. stock market performance.

New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity is a flexible premium deferred variable annuity issued by NYLIAC. Under this policy, we will apply a Credit to premiums paid in a percentage amount according to the credit rate schedule then in effect. Policies with a premium Credit may have higher fees and expenses, and may have longer surrender charge periods than policies that do not provide the Credit feature. There may be circumstances in which the purchase of a New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity is less advantageous than the purchase of another New York Life variable annuity which may have lower fees but no credit. This may be the case, for example, if you intended to make fewer and smaller payments into the contract, or if you anticipate retaining the contract for a significant time beyond the surrender charge period. Sales of the New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity were discontinued. Current policyowners may continue to make premium payments, subject to their contract provisions. Existing policies will continue to be serviced. New York Life Variable Annuities are long-term retirement products issued by New York Life Insurance and Annuity Corporation ("NYLIAC "), a Delaware Corporation, and offered by NYLIFE Securities LLC, (member FINRA/SIPC) a Licensed Insurance Agency.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Due to market volat ility, current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The investment return and the Accumulation Value of your policy will fluctuate so that a policy, when surrendered may be worth more or less than the premiu m payment(s). For current to the most recent month-end performance information, please call 1-800-598-2019 or visit . All performance reflects the percentage change for the period shown, with capital gains and dividends reinvested and includes the Fund Company Expenses. An Annual Policy Service Charge of $30 is not included in these charges, but will be deducted each year from the policy's Accumulation Value on the policy anniversary and upon surrender if on that date the Accumulation Value Is less than $100,000. The performance shown, therefore, would be slightly lower if your policy's Accumulation Value is less than $100,000. Charges for any optional riders, if reflected, would reduce the performance shown. Non-Standardized Performance ("Assuming No Surrender") does not reflect the deduction of Surrender Charges. Standardized Performance ("Assuming Surrender") reflects the maximum Surrender Charge under the policy. The maximum Surrender Charge for each premium payment is 8%, declining to 2% by the 8th year after that premium payment has been in the policy, with no surrender charge thereafter. Withdrawals and surrenders may be taxable transactions, and prior to age 59?, may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty (the penalt y tax is increased to 25% in the case of a distribution from a SIMPLE IRA within the first two years of your participation in the SIMPLE IRA plan). The Investment Divisions offered through the New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity and described herein are different from mutual funds that may have similar names but are available directly to the general public. Investment results may differ. *In certain jurisdictions, this product was sold as a single premium variable annuity. In most jurisdictions, the policy form number for the New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity is 208-192.

Performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Due to market volat ility, current performance may be lower or higher than the figures shown. The investment return and the Accumulation Value of your policy will fluctuate so that a policy, when surrendered may be worth more or less than the premiu m payment(s). For current to the most recent month-end performance information, please call 1-800-598-2019 or visit . All performance reflects the percentage change for the period shown, with capital gains and dividends reinvested and includes the Fund Company Expenses. An Annual Policy Service Charge of $30 is not included in these charges, but will be deducted each year from the policy's Accumulation Value on the policy anniversary and upon surrender if on that date the Accumulation Value Is less than $100,000. The performance shown, therefore, would be slightly lower if your policy's Accumulation Value is less than $100,000. Charges for any optional riders, if reflected, would reduce the performance shown. Non-Standardized Performance ("Assuming No Surrender") does not reflect the deduction of Surrender Charges. Standardized Performance ("Assuming Surrender") reflects the maximum Surrender Charge under the policy. The maximum Surrender Charge for each premium payment is 8%, declining to 2% by the 8th year after that premium payment has been in the policy, with no surrender charge thereafter. Withdrawals and surrenders may be taxable transactions, and prior to age 59?, may be subject to a 10% IRS penalty (the penalt y tax is increased to 25% in the case of a distribution from a SIMPLE IRA within the first two years of your participation in the SIMPLE IRA plan). The Investment Divisions offered through the New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity and described herein are different from mutual funds that may have similar names but are available directly to the general public. Investment results may differ. *In certain jurisdictions, this product was sold as a single premium variable annuity. In most jurisdictions, the policy form number for the New York Life Premier Plus Variable Annuity is 208-192.
