the SEC as a &#147;well-known seasoned issuer&#148; as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), utilizing a &#147;shelf&#148; registration process. Under this shelf registration process,
Holdings is registering an unspecified amount of each class of the securities described in this prospectus, and Holdings may sell any combination of the securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings. In addition, Holdings or any
of its affiliates may use this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement in a remarketing or other resale transaction involving the securities after their initial sale. This prospectus provides you with a general description of the
securities Holdings may offer. Each time Holdings sells securities, Holdings will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement and any free writing prospectus may
also add to, update, supplement or clarify information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Any statement that we make in this prospectus will be modified or superseded by any inconsistent statement made by us in a prospectus
supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The rules of the SEC allow us to incorporate information by reference into this prospectus. This information incorporated by reference is

distribute. We take no responsibility for, and can provide no assurances as to the reliability of, any other information that others may give you. This prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement do not constitute an offer to sell, or a
solicitation of an offer to purchase, the securities offered by this prospectus and any accompanying prospectus supplement in any jurisdiction in which it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation. The information contained or incorporated by

adversely affecting our investments; (iv)&nbsp;our reinsurance and hedging programs; (v)&nbsp;our products, structure and product distribution, including variable annuity guaranteed benefits features within certain of our products, variations in

the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and you should read the indentures for provisions that may be important to you. The statements and descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions
of the indentures and debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the indentures and the debt securities, including the
definitions therein of certain terms. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Ranking of the Debt Securities </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The debt securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of Holdings. The senior debt securities will rank equally in right of payment with all of
Holdings&#146; other senior and unsubordinated debt. The subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of Holdings&#146; present and future &#147;senior indebtedness&#148; (as defined in the subordinated
indenture). See &#147;&#151;Subordination under the Subordinated Indenture.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because Holdings is principally a holding company, its right to
participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary&#146;s liquidation or reorganization or otherwise, is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent Holdings may be recognized as a
creditor of that subsidiary. Accordingly, Holdings&#146; obligations under the debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of its subsidiaries, including liabilities under contracts of
insurance and annuities written by Holdings&#146; insurance subsidiaries, and holders of debt securities should look only to Holdings&#146; assets for payment thereunder. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Terms of the Debt Securities </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may issue the debt
securities in one or more series through an indenture that supplements the senior indenture or the subordinated indenture or through a resolution of the Board or an authorized committee thereof. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each prospectus supplement will describe the terms relating to the specific series of debt securities being offered. These terms will include some or all of

debt securities, which we refer to in this prospectus as the &#147;junior subordinated debt securities.&#148; The junior subordinated debt securities will be unsecured, subordinate and junior in right of payment, as described in the junior
subordinated indenture, to all of Holdings&#146; senior indebtedness (as defined in the junior subordinated indenture), which includes all debt issued under the senior indenture or the subordinated indenture. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless the applicable prospectus supplement states otherwise, Holdings will issue the junior subordinated debt securities in one or more series under a junior

subordinated indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of junior subordinated debt securities that Holdings may issue and provides that Holdings may issue junior subordinated debt securities from time to time in one or more series, in
each case with the same or various maturities, at par or at a discount. Holdings may issue additional junior subordinated debt securities of a particular series without the consent of the holders of the junior subordinated debt securities of such
series outstanding at the time of the issuance. Any such additional junior subordinated debt securities, together with all other outstanding junior subordinated debt securities of that series, will constitute a single series of junior subordinated
debt securities under the junior subordinated indenture. The junior subordinated indenture does not limit Holdings&#146; ability to incur other debt. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
junior subordinated indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and you should read the junior subordinated indenture for provisions that may be important to you. The statements and
descriptions in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement regarding provisions of the junior subordinated indenture and the junior subordinated debt securities are summaries thereof, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to, all of the provisions of the junior subordinated indenture and the junior subordinated debt securities, including the definitions therein of certain terms. </P>

junior subordinated debt securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of Holdings and will rank equally in right of payment with all of Holdings&#146; other junior subordinated obligations, including, unless otherwise specified in the prospectus
supplement relating to such series or such securities, all other series of junior subordinated debt securities. The junior subordinated debt securities will be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all of Holdings&#146; present and future
&#147;senior indebtedness&#148; (as defined in the junior subordinated indenture). See &#147;&#151;&nbsp;Subordination under the Junior Subordinated Indenture.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because Holdings is principally a holding company, its right to participate in any distribution of assets of any subsidiary upon the subsidiary&#146;s
liquidation or reorganization or otherwise, is subject to the prior claims of creditors of the subsidiary, except to the extent Holdings may be recognized as a creditor of that subsidiary. Accordingly, Holdings&#146; obligations under the junior
subordinated debt securities will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of its subsidiaries, including liabilities under contracts of insurance and annuities written by Holdings&#146; insurance
subsidiaries, and holders of junior subordinated debt securities should look only to Holdings&#146; assets for payment thereunder. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Terms of the Junior

summarized below may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that you might consider in your best interest, including an attempt that might result in your receipt of a premium over the market
price for your shares. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Holdings to first negotiate with the Board, which could result in an improvement of their terms. </P>

without additional stockholders&#146; approval. While Holdings&#146; authorized and unissued shares are not designed to deter or prevent a change of control, under some circumstances Holdings could use the additional shares to create voting
impediments or to frustrate persons seeking to effect a takeover or otherwise gain control by, for example, issuing those shares in private placements to purchasers who might side with the Board in opposing a hostile takeover bid. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Authorized but Unissued Shares of Preferred Stock</I></B>. Under Holdings&#146; amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Board has the

special rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions of each series, including, without limitation, dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares
constituting any series. The existence of authorized but unissued preferred stock could reduce Holdings&#146; attractiveness as a target for an unsolicited takeover bid since Holdings could, for example, issue shares of preferred stock to parties
who might oppose such a takeover bid or shares that contain terms the potential acquiror may find unattractive. This may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control, may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium over the
market price of the common stock, and may adversely affect the market price of, and the voting and other rights of the holders of, Holdings&#146; common stock. </P>

deter or prevent a potential merger or sale of Holdings, even if the Board decides that it is in the best interests of stockholders for Holdings to merge or be sold. These restrictions also may delay sales by Holdings or acquisitions by third

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>General Terms </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may elect to offer depositary
shares representing receipts for fractional interests in debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities, common stock or preferred stock. In this case, Holdings will issue receipts for depositary shares, each of which will represent a fraction
of a debt security, junior subordinated debt security or share of common stock or of a particular series of preferred stock, as the case may be. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings
will deposit the debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities or shares of common stock or any series of preferred stock represented by depositary shares under a deposit agreement between Holdings and a depositary which we will name in the
applicable prospectus supplement. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, as an owner of a depositary share you will be entitled, in proportion to the applicable fraction of a debt security, junior subordinated debt security or share of
common stock or preferred stock represented by the depositary share, to all the rights and preferences of the debt security, junior subordinated debt security or common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, represented by the depositary
share, including, as the case may be, interest, dividend, voting, conversion, redemption, sinking fund, repayment at maturity, subscription and liquidation rights. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following description of the terms of the deposit agreement is a summary. It summarizes only those terms of the deposit agreement that we believe will be
most important to your decision to invest in Holdings&#146; depositary shares. You should keep in mind, however, that it is the deposit agreement, and not this summary, which defines your rights as a holder of depositary shares. There may be other
provisions in the deposit agreement that are also important to you. You should read the deposit agreement for a full description of the terms of the depositary shares. The form of the deposit agreement will be filed as an exhibit to the registration
statement of which this prospectus forms a part. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Interest, Dividends and Other Distributions </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary will distribute all payments of interest, cash dividends or other cash distributions received on the debt securities, junior subordinated debt
securities, common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, to you in proportion to the number of depositary shares that you own. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In the event of a
distribution other than in cash, the depositary will distribute property received by it to you proportionately, unless the depositary determines that it is not feasible to make such a distribution. In that case the depositary may, with our approval,
adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting the distribution, including the sale of the property and the distribution of the net proceeds from the sale to you. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption of Depositary Shares </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If Holdings redeems a
debt security, junior subordinated debt security, share of common stock or preferred stock represented by depositary shares, the depositary will redeem your depositary shares from the proceeds received by the depositary resulting from the
redemption. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal to the applicable fraction of the redemption price per debt security, junior subordinated debt security or share of common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, payable in
relation to the debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities, common stock or preferred stock to be redeemed. Whenever Holdings redeems debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities or shares of common stock or preferred stock held by
the depositary, the depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date the number of depositary shares representing, as the case may be, the debt securities, junior subordinated debt securities or shares of common stock or preferred stock
redeemed. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected either pro rata or by lot. </P>

of any request for instructions or directions from you, as a holder of interests in deposited debt securities or junior subordinated debt securities, the depositary will mail to you the information contained in that notice. Each record holder of the
depositary shares on the record date will be entitled to instruct the depositary how to give instructions or directions with respect to the debt securities or junior subordinated debt securities represented by that holder&#146;s depositary shares or
how to vote the amount of the common stock or preferred stock represented by that holder&#146;s depositary shares. The record date for the depositary shares will be the same date as the record date for the debt securities, junior subordinated debt
securities, common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be. The depositary will endeavor, to the extent practicable, to give instructions or directions with respect to the debt securities or junior subordinated debt securities or to vote the
amount of the common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, represented by the depositary shares in accordance with those instructions. Holdings will agree to take all reasonable action which the depositary may deem necessary to enable the
depositary to do so. The depositary will abstain from giving instructions or directions with respect to the debt securities or junior subordinated debt securities or voting shares of the common stock or preferred stock, as the case may be, if it
does not receive specific instructions from you. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement </B></P>

However, any amendment which materially and adversely alters the rights of the holders of the depositary shares will not be effective unless the amendment has been approved by the holders of at least a majority of the depositary shares then

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may sell securities from time to time in one or more transactions separately or as units with other securities. Holdings may sell the securities of
or within any series to or through agents, underwriters, dealers, remarketing firms or other third parties or directly to one or more purchasers or through a combination of any of these methods. Holdings may issue securities as a dividend or
distribution. In some cases, Holdings or dealers acting with Holdings or on behalf of Holdings may also purchase securities and reoffer them to the public. Holdings may also offer and sell, or agree to deliver, securities pursuant to, or in
connection with, any option agreement or other contractual arrangement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Agents whom Holdings designates may solicit offers to purchase the securities. We
will name any agent involved in offering or selling securities, and disclose any commissions that Holdings will pay to the agent, in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless we indicate otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, agents
will act on a best efforts basis for the period of their appointment. Agents may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act of any of the securities that they offer or sell. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may use an underwriter or underwriters in the offer or sale of the securities. If Holdings uses an underwriter or underwriters, Holdings will execute
an underwriting agreement with the underwriter or underwriters at the time that it reaches an agreement for the sale of the securities. We will include the names of the managing underwriter or underwriters, as well as the names of any other
underwriters, and the terms of the transactions, including the compensation the underwriters will receive, in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may use a dealer to sell the securities. If Holdings uses a dealer, Holdings, as principal, will sell the securities to the dealer. The dealer will
then sell the securities to the public at varying prices that the dealer will determine at the time it sells the securities. We will include the name of the dealer and the terms of the transactions with the dealer in the applicable prospectus
supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may solicit directly offers to purchase the securities, and Holdings may directly sell the securities to institutional or other
investors. We will describe the terms of direct sales in the applicable prospectus supplement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may engage in <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may also offer and sell securities, if so indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in
accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to their terms, or otherwise, by one or more firms referred to as remarketing firms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as Holdings&#146; agents. Any remarketing firm will be identified
and the terms of its agreement, if any, with Holdings and its compensation will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters under the Securities Act, in connection with the securities they
remarket. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may indemnify agents, underwriters, dealers and remarketing firms against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the

contracts. These delayed delivery contracts will be subject only to the conditions that we describe in the prospectus supplement. We will describe in the applicable prospectus supplement the commission that underwriters and agents soliciting

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Until the distribution of the securities is completed, SEC rules may limit the ability of underwriters and
other participants in the offering to bid for and purchase the securities. As an exception to these rules, the underwriters in certain circumstances are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the price of the securities. Such
transactions consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of the securities. In connection with an offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell securities in the open market. These transactions may
include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of securities than they hold, and must be closed out by purchasing those
securities in the open market. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of an offering. The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid on certain
underwriters. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriting syndicate a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the underwriting syndicate has repurchased securities sold by or for the account of that
underwriter in stabilizing or short-covering transactions. These activities by the underwriters, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own account, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of
the securities, and may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of the securities may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If these activities are
commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected on an exchange or automated quotation system, if the securities are listed on that exchange or admitted for trading on that automated quotation
system, or in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">over-the-counter</FONT></FONT> market or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may loan
or pledge securities to third parties that in turn may sell the securities using this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement or, if Holdings defaults in the case of a pledge, may offer and sell the securities from time to time using
this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. Such third parties may transfer their short positions to investors in the securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities offered by this prospectus and the
applicable prospectus supplement or otherwise. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may enter into derivative or other hedging transactions involving the securities with third
parties, or sell securities not covered by the prospectus to third parties in privately-negotiated transactions. If we so indicate in the applicable prospectus supplement, in connection with those derivative transactions, the third parties may sell
securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions, or may lend securities in order to facilitate short sale transactions by others. If so, the third party may use securities pledged
by Holdings or borrowed from Holdings or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from Holdings in settlement of those derivative or hedging transactions to close out any
related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Holdings may effect sales of securities in connection with forward sale, option or other types of agreements with third parties.
Any distribution of securities pursuant to any forward sale agreement may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions that may take place through a stock exchange, including block trades or ordinary broker&#146;s transactions, or
through broker-dealers acting either as principal or agent, or through privately-negotiated transactions, or through an underwritten public offering, or through a combination of any such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices relating to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated or fixed prices. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If 5% or more of the net proceeds of any offering of

Pursuant to Rule 457(p), $44,280 of the registration fees paid in connection with the Unsold Securities registered on the Prior Registration Statement is being applied to this Registration Statement. Separate consideration may or may not be received for securities that are issuable on exercise, conversion or exchange of other securities or that are issued in units. In connection with the securities offered hereby, the registrant will pay "pay-as-you-go registration fees" in accordance with Rule 456(b). The registrant will calculate the registration fee applicable to an offer of securities pursuant to this Registration Statement based on the fee payment rate in effect on the date of such fee payment. (2) An indeterminate aggregate amount of securities is being registered as may from time to time be offered for sale or sold at indeterminate prices. In reliance on Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant is deferring payment of all of the registration fees relating to the registration of securities hereby until such fees become payable in connection with an offering of such securities. (9) Each unit may consist of one or more of the securities being registered hereunder or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. Treasury securities, in any combination. Includes units issuable upon conversion or exchange of securities registered hereunder to the extent any such securities are, by their terms, convertible into or exchangeable for units, including upon the exercise of warrants or delivery upon settlement of purchase contracts.<span></span>
