Overview of the Contract

What is the Contract, and what is it designed to do?
The Contract is an individual flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract intended to help you accumulate assets for retirement or other long-term goals, through an investment in one or more Portfolios and the Fixed Account.

When you are ready to take money out of the annuity, the contract offers withdrawals on an ad hoc or systematic basis. Annuities provide you the option of electing from several types of annuity payments (Settlement Options), that can be guaranteed for a set timeframe or for your lifetime.

For whom is the Contract appropriate?
The Contract may be appropriate if you have a long-term investment horizon. It is not appropriate for people who may need to make early or frequent withdrawals or who intend to engage in frequent trading.

What are the phases of the Contract?
The Contract has two phases, the accumulation phase and the income phase.

During the accumulation phase, you may make one or more premium payments and transfer Accumulated Value between the various investment options and the Fixed Account, subject to some limitations. Additional information about the available investment options can be found in the Appendix at the end of this document.

The income phase begins when we begin to make payments to you. If you elect to annuitize, you may have all or part of your Contract’s Accumulated Value converted into guaranteed annuity payments (a Settlement Option). Once you move into a Settlement Option, you may or may not have a death benefit or be able to take additional withdrawals, depending on the Settlement Option you choose.

What are the Contract’s primary features?
Investment Options: The Contract provides the opportunity for tax-deferred growth by allocating the Accumulated Value to a variety of investment options and the Fixed Account.

Tax Treatment: The premium payments you put into the Contract have the potential to accumulate on a tax-deferred basis. This means earnings are not taxed until money is paid out of the Contract.

Dollar Cost Averaging: You may choose to have automatic periodic transfers made to one or more of the variable Portfolios. Dollar Cost Averaging allows such investments to be made in installments over time.

Asset Rebalancing: You may choose the Automatic Asset Rebalancing Program, which transfers your Accumulated Value among variable Portfolios on a regular basis according to your instructions. This can help you select a specific asset allocation and maintain it over time.

Death Benefit: The Contract offers a Death Benefit during the accumulation phase for your beneficiaries, ensuring they receive the minimum of your premium payments adjusted for withdrawals.

Settlement Options: You may elect to convert all or some of your Accumulated Value into guaranteed annuity payments from us. A Death Benefit, if any, would then depend on the option selected.

Fee Table

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering or making withdrawals from an Investment Option or from the Contract. Please refer to your Contract specifications page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected.

The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the Contract, surrender or make withdrawals from an Investment Option or from the Contract, or transfer Contract value between Investment Options. State premium taxes are not currently deducted.

Transaction Expenses
Sales Load Imposed on Purchases (as a percentage of purchase payments)	0%
Surrender Charge (as a percentage of amount being surrendered)	7%1
Transfer Charge	$102

1For amounts being surrendered that exceed the 10% free surrender amount, unless an exception applies. When the Contracts were originally issued, there was a seven-year surrender charge period. All Contracts are now out of the surrender charge period.

2You are allowed 12 transfers each Contract Year. Transfers in excess of 12 will incur a $10 fee.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay each year during the time that you own the Contract (not including Portfolio Company fees and expenses).

Annual Contract Expenses	Maximum	Current
Administrative Expenses	$253	$25
Base Contract Expenses (as a percentage of the daily net assets of the Variable Account)	1.25%4	1.15%

As a fraternal benefit society, Thrivent is also required to have a Maintenance of Solvency provision. For a complete discussion, see Maintenance of Solvency in the statutory prospectus.

3If your net premiums in the Contract exceed $1,500, we will waive the Administrative Expenses charge. Net premiums are the sum of all premiums less withdrawals.

4A contract pending payout due to a death claim is charged based on the average daily net assets of the Variable Account and is equal to annual rate of 0.85%.

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total annual operating expenses charged by the Portfolio Companies that you may pay periodically during the time that you own the Contract. Expenses shown may change over time and may be higher or lower in the future. A complete list of Portfolio Companies available under the Contract, including their annual expenses, may be found at the back of this document in the Appendix.

Annual Portfolio Company Expenses	Minimum	Maximum
Expenses that are deducted from Portfolio assets, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other expenses.	0.22%	1.52%
Expenses after reimbursements and/or fee waivers.	0.22%	1.15%5

The “Expenses after reimbursements and/or fee waivers” line in the above table shows the minimum and maximum fees and expenses charged by all of the Portfolios after taking into account contractual fee waiver or reimbursement arrangements in place. Those contractual arrangements are designed to reduce Annual Portfolio Company Expenses and will continue for at least one year from the date of this prospectus.

Example

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Variable Options with the cost of investing in other annuity contracts that offer Variable Options. These costs include transaction expenses, annual Contract expenses and Annual Portfolio Company Expenses.

The Example assumes all Contract value is allocated to the Variable Options. Your costs could differ from those shown below if you invest in the Fixed Account.

The Example assumes that you invest $100,000 in the Variable Options for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the most expensive Annual Portfolio Company Expenses. Although your costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be6:


	Years
	1	3	5	10
If you do not surrender your Contract at the end of the applicable time period:
	$9,241	$13,399	$17,658	$30,993
If you annuitize at the end of the applicable time period:
	$9,241	$13,399	$14,643	$30,993
If you do not surrender your Contract:
	$2,801	$8,591	$14,643	$30,993

For this example, the following assumptions are used: 1.25% mortality and expense risk charge, and portfolio operating expense of 1.52%.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Contract

This annuity has some risks which may include the following:

♦

Market Risk. You can lose money by investing in the Contract, including loss of principal. You bear all the investment risk for amounts allocated to one or more of the Portfolios, which invest in underlying Funds. If the Portfolios you select increase in value, then your Accumulated Value goes up; if they decrease in value, your Accumulated Value goes down. How much your Accumulated Value goes up or down depends on the performance of the Portfolios. We do not guarantee the investment results of any Portfolio. An investment in the Contract is subject to the risk of poor investment performance, and the value of your investment can vary depending on the performance of the selected Portfolio(s), each of which has its own unique risks. You should review the prospectus for the Portfolio before making an investment decision. Neither the U.S. Government nor any federal agency insures or guarantees your investment in the Contract.

♦

Early Withdrawal Risk. The Contract is not designed for short-term investing and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Early withdrawals may be subject to a significant surrender charge. If you make a withdrawal prior to age 59 1∕2, there may be adverse tax consequences, including a 10% federal tax penalty. In addition, a withdrawal could reduce the value of standard and optional benefits. The benefits of tax deferral, long-term income, and living benefit protections also mean that the Contract is more beneficial to investors with a long-time horizon.

♦

Contract Benefits Risk. Death benefits are reduced by withdrawals on a pro-rata basis. There is also a risk that any financial return of an optional benefit, if any, will ultimately be less than the amount you paid for the benefit. If you elect a partial or a full surrender into a settlement option, benefits related to your deferred value will be reduced or terminated.

♦

Insurance Company Risk. An investment in the Contract is subject to the risks related to Thrivent. Insurance obligations, guarantees, and benefits of the Contract are subject to the claims-paying ability of Thrivent.

♦

Contract Changes Risk. At any time, we may change, add, delete, or replace investment options applicable to existing Accumulated Value and new premiums. We may also add, delete, or substitute Subaccounts as permitted by law. We may substitute shares of another Subaccount, which may have differences such as (among other things) different fees and expenses, objectives, and risks, for shares of an existing Subaccount, at our discretion. We may also close Subaccounts to allocations of premiums or Accumulated Value, or both, at any time in our discretion. Our decision to make modifications will be based on several factors including the general market conditions and the style and investment objectives of the Subaccount investments. You will be notified at least 30 days prior to the date of any change. At the time you receive Notice of a change to the Subaccounts you may submit your own reallocation instructions. If you take no action, you may be subject to rebalancing in order to satisfy an investment restriction related to an optional benefit rider.

♦

Fixed Account Risk. Amounts invested in the Fixed Account will be subject to the financial strength and claims-paying ability of Thrivent.

♦

Investment Restrictions. We reserve the right to limit transfers, and there is a $10 charge per transfer when you transfer your Contract Value between the investment options more than 12 times in a Contract Year. You may make only one transfer from the Fixed Account in each Contract year. The transfer may not exceed the greater of $500 or 25% of the total value of the Fixed Account at the time of transfer. We may impose limits on the minimum and maximum amounts that you may invest or other transaction limits that may limit your use of the Contract. In addition, we reserve the right to add, remove or substitute investment options.

♦

Premium Payment Risk. The maximum aggregate Premiums you may make without our prior approval is $1 million.

♦

Fees and Charges. Deduction of Contract fees and charges may result in loss of principal. We reserve the right to increase the fees and charges under the Contract up to the maximum guaranteed fees and charges stated in your Contract.

♦

Possible Adverse Tax Consequences. The tax considerations associated with the Contract vary and can be complicated. The applicable tax rules can differ, depending on the type of Contract, whether non-qualified, traditional IRA or Roth IRA. Before making contributions to your Contract or taking other action related to your Contract, you should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in, and payments received under, the Contract.

♦

Risks Affecting our Administration of Your Contract. We and our service providers and business partners are subject to certain risks, including those resulting from system failures, cybersecurity events and other disasters. Such events can adversely impact us and our operations. These risks are common to all insurers and financial service providers and may materially impact our ability to administer the Contract (and to keep Contract owner information confidential).

♦

Alternatives to the Contract. Other contracts or investments may provide more favorable returns or benefits, as well as lower costs, than the Contract.

♦

Potentially Harmful Trading Activity. The Contract is not designed for frequent trading by anyone. Frequent trading may disrupt the underlying Portfolios and could negatively impact performance, by interfering with efficient management and reducing long-term returns, and increasing administrative costs. To protect Owners and the underlying Portfolios, we have policies and procedures to deter frequent trading between and among the Portfolios. We cannot guarantee that these policies and procedures will be effective in detecting and preventing all trading activity that could potentially disadvantage or hurt the rights or interests of other Owners.

♦

Cybersecurity Risk. We and our service providers may be susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks. In general, cyber incidents can result from deliberate attacks or unintentional events. Cyber-attacks include, but are not limited to, gaining unauthorized access to digital systems to misappropriate assets or sensitive information, corrupt data, or otherwise disrupt operations. Cyber incidents affecting us, a Subaccount, or service providers have the ability to disrupt and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, by interfering with the ability to calculate Subaccount values, corrupting data or preventing parties from sharing information necessary for our operations, preventing or slowing transactions, stopping you from making transactions, potentially subjecting us to regulatory fines and penalties, and creating additional compliance costs. Similar types of cyber security risks are also present for issuers or securities in which the Subaccounts may invest, which could result

in material adverse consequences for such issuers and may cause the Subaccounts’ investments in such companies to lose value. While we and our service providers have established business continuity plans in the event of such cyber incidents, there are inherent limitations in such plans and systems. Additionally, while we do have control frameworks and we do perform due diligence on our providers, we cannot fully control the cybersecurity plans and systems put in place by our service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Subaccounts or your Contract. Although we attempt to minimize such failures through controls and oversight, it is not possible to identify all of the operation risks that may affect the Subaccounts or your Contract, or to develop processes and controls that completely eliminate or mitigate the occurrence of such failures or other disruptions in service. The value of an investment in a Subaccount may be adversely affected by the occurrence of the operational errors or failures or technological issues or other similar events and you may bear costs tied to these risks.

Description of Insurance Company, Registered Separate Account, and Investment Options

Insurance Company

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (“Thrivent”) is the Insurance Company that issues the Contract and is located at 600 Portland Ave S., Suite 100 Minneapolis, MN 55415. Thrivent is obligated to pay all amounts promised to investors under the Contract, subject to its financial strength and claims-paying ability. Thrivent is relying on the exemption provided by rule 12h-7 under the Securities Exchange Act (17 CFR 240.12h-7).

Thrivent

Thrivent is a not-for-profit financial services membership organization of Christians helping our members achieve financial security and give back to their communities. We were organized in 1902 as a fraternal benefit society under Wisconsin law, and comply with Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(8). We are licensed to sell insurance in all states and the District of Columbia. For more information, visit Thrivent.com.

Registered Separate Account

Thrivent Variable Annuity Account A is the Registered Separate Account for the Contract.

The Registered Separate Account is a separate account of ours, which became available in 1995. The Registered Separate Account meets the definition of a “separate account” under the federal securities laws. The Registered Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). This registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment policies or practices of the Registered Separate Account.

We own the assets of the Registered Separate Account, and we are not a trustee with respect to such assets. However, the Wisconsin laws under which the Registered Separate Account is operated provide that the Registered Separate Account shall not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business we may conduct. The Registered Separate Account will be fully funded at all times for the purposes of federal securities laws. We may transfer to our General Account assets of the Registered Separate Account which exceed the reserves and other liabilities of the Registered Separate Account.

Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses from each Subaccount of the Registered Separate Account are credited to or charged against that Subaccount without regard to any of our other income, gains or losses. We may accumulate in the Registered Separate Account the charge for mortality and expense risk, mortality gains and losses and investment results applicable to those assets that are in excess of net assets supporting the Contracts.

1.Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, the Registered Separate Account reflect the Registered Separate Account’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of the Insurance Company’s other assets; and

2.the assets of the Registered Separate Account may not be used to pay any liabilities of the Insurance Company other than those arising from the Contracts.

Variable Options

1.Contract value allocated to a Variable Option will vary based on the investment experience of the corresponding Portfolio Company in which the Variable Option invests. There is a risk of loss of the entire amount invested.

2.Information regarding each Portfolio Company, including (i) its name, (ii) investment type, (iii) investment advisor and any sub-advisor, (iv) current expenses, and (v) performance is available in Appendix A to this prospectus. Each Portfolio Company has issued a prospectus that contains more detailed information about the Portfolio Company. You can view these online at dfinview.com/Thrivent/VariableAnnuityA You can also request paper copy by calling our Service Center at 1-800-847-4836, or by sending an email request to mail@thrivent.com.

3.To the extent required by law, we will vote the Fund’s shares held in the Registered Separate Account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the Fund in accordance with instructions received from persons having voting interests in the corresponding Subaccounts of the Registered Separate Account. If, however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result we determine that we are permitted to vote the Fund’s shares in our own right, we may elect to do so.

Before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contract Owner shall have the voting interest with respect to shares of the Fund attributable to the Contract.

The number of votes which a Contract Owner has the right to instruct will be calculated separately for each Subaccount. The number of votes which each Contract Owner has the right to instruct will be determined by dividing a Contract’s Accumulated Value in a Subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio in which the Subaccount invests. Fractional shares will be counted. The number of votes of the Portfolio which the Contract Owner has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date coincident with the date established by the Portfolio for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the Fund. Voting instructions will be solicited by written communications prior to such meeting in accordance with procedures established by the Fund.

Any Portfolio shares held in the Registered Separate Account for which we do not receive timely voting instructions, or which are not attributable to Contract Owners, will be voted by us in proportion to the instructions received from all Contract Owners. As a result of proportionate voting, a small number of Contract Owners could determine the outcome of the shareholder vote. Any Portfolio shares held by us or our affiliates in General Accounts will, for voting purposes, be allocated to all Registered Separate Accounts of ours and our affiliates having a voting interest in that Portfolio in proportion to each such Registered Separate Account’s votes. Voting instructions to abstain on any item to be voted upon will be applied on a pro rata basis to reduce the votes eligible to be cast.

Each person having a voting interest in a Subaccount will receive proxy materials, reports and other materials relating to the appropriate Portfolio.

Voting privileges are not applicable to the Fixed Account.

Fixed Account

Prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you may allocate the premiums paid under the Contract and transfer from the Subaccounts to the Fixed Account. After the Annuity Commencement Date, you may no longer transfer out of the Fixed Account. Any amounts allocated to the Fixed Account are invested with our general account assets. Interest will be credited on premiums allocated to the Fixed Account and on amounts transferred to the Fixed Account from the date of allocation or transfer. The initial interest rate for each such allocation or transfer is guaranteed for 12 months, and subsequent interest rates will not change more frequently than every 12 months. Interest will be compounded daily and will never be less than an effective annual interest rate of 3.5% per year. For the current interest rate, please contact our Service Center at 1-800-847-4836. You may make only one transfer from the Fixed Account in each Contract year.

The transfer may not exceed the greater of $500 or 25% of the total value of the Fixed Account at the time of transfer. More information about all the Investment Options can be found in the Appendix.

Name	Term	Minimum Guaranteed Interest Rate
Fixed Account	Life of the Contract	3.50%

Charges and Adjustments

Administrative Expenses

During the accumulation phase, we annually deduct a $25 Administrative Expenses charge. The charge is deducted on the last day of each Contract year or upon surrender of the Contract if that is earlier. We deduct the charge from your Accumulated Value in proportion to the amounts in your Subaccounts and the Fixed Account (except if you live in South Carolina). The purpose of this charge is to reimburse us for administrative expenses relating to the Contract.

We do not deduct this charge if your total net premiums are $1,500 or more at the end of your Contract year or at surrender. Net premiums are your premiums less any withdrawals. We do not expect to profit from this charge. We will not increase the charge for administrative expenses regardless of actual expenses. We reserve the right to waive this charge.

Transfer Charge

You may make twelve free transfers in each Contract Year. We will charge you $10 for each subsequent transfer.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

We assume several mortality risks under the Contracts.

First, we assume a mortality risk by our contractual obligation to pay death proceeds to the beneficiary if the Annuitant under a Contract dies during the accumulation phase. We assume the risk that the Annuitant may die prior to the Annuity Commencement Date at a time when the death proceeds guaranteed by the Contract may be higher than the Accumulated Value of the Contract.

Second, we assume a mortality risk arising from the fact that the Contracts do not impose any surrender charge on the death proceeds. The Cash Surrender Value is lower for Contracts under which a withdrawal or surrender charge remains in effect, while the amount of the death proceeds under such Contracts is unaffected by the withdrawal or surrender charge. Accordingly, our mortality risk is higher under such Contracts than it would be under otherwise comparable Contracts that impose the surrender charge upon payment of death proceeds.

Third, we assume a mortality risk by our contractual obligation to continue to make annuity payments for the entire life of the payee(s) under annuity payment options involving life contingencies. This assures each payee that neither the payee’s own longevity nor an improvement in life expectancy generally will have an adverse affect on the annuity payments received under a Contract. This relieves the payee from the risk of outliving the amounts accumulated for retirement.

Fourth, we assume a mortality risk under our annuity purchase rate tables which are guaranteed for the life of a Contract. Options 1, 2 and 3 are based on a guaranteed effective annual interest rate of 3%. Options 4 and 5 are based on a guaranteed effective annual interest rate of 3.5% using the Commissioner’s 1983 Table A “Annuitant Mortality Table.”

In addition to the above mentioned mortality risks, we assume an expense risk under the Contracts. This is because the Contract maintenance charge deducted from the Contracts to cover administrative expenses may not be sufficient to cover the expenses actually incurred. Administrative expenses include such costs as processing premiums, annuity payments, withdrawals, surrenders and transfers; furnishing confirmation notices and periodic reports; calculating the mortality and expense risk charge; preparing voting materials and tax reports; updating the registration statement for the Contracts; and actuarial and other expenses.

To compensate us for assuming these mortality and expense risks, we deduct a daily mortality and expense risk charge from the net assets of each Subaccount in the Variable Account. We impose a maximum mortality and expense risk charge at an annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net assets of such Subaccount in the Variable Account for the mortality and expense risks assumed under the Contracts during the accumulation period. Contracts pending payout due to a death claim are charged at an annual rate of 0.85%.

If the mortality and expense risk charge and other charges under a Contract are insufficient to cover the actual mortality costs and administrative expenses incurred by us, we will bear the loss. Conversely, if the mortality and expense risk charge proves more than sufficient, we will keep the excess for any proper corporate purpose including, among other things, payment of sales expenses. We expect to make a profit from this charge.

Notwithstanding this charge, Contract Owners may be asked to add money under the Maintenance of Solvency provision described in General Information About the Contracts – Maintenance of Solvency section.

Fund Expenses

Because the Variable Account purchases shares of the Fund, the net assets of the Variable Account will reflect the investment advisory fees or other expenses incurred by the Fund. See the Fee Table and the current prospectus of the Portfolio.

Maintenance of Solvency

The Maintenance of Solvency provision is a legal requirement of a fraternal benefit society. The provision can come into play only when the reserves of a fraternal benefit society become impaired. That means there would be a serious concern with the financial position of the society. It is extremely unlikely that Thrivent would be in an impaired condition considering its financial position. In the extraordinary event that our reserves become impaired, you may be required to make an extra payment. This can happen only in the rare event that the insurance commissioner issued an order declaring us to be in a hazardous condition. If that happened, our Board of Directors would work with the commissioner to determine each member’s portion of the deficiency. You could submit additional funds, have the amount treated as a debt against the Contract, or take a reduction in benefits. Please be advised that a Maintenance of Solvency provision is applicable to all fraternal benefit societies, regardless of the financial position and ratings of the society. You may review our financial statements and reports from our independent public accounting firm in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI) found online at dfinview.com/Thrivent/VariableAnnuityA

General Description of the Contracts

Entire Contract

The entire Contract between you and us consists of:

♦

the Contract including any attached rider(s), if any, endorsements or amendments;

♦

the application attached to the Contract; and

♦

the Thrivent Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws which are in effect on the Issue Date of the Contract.

Contract Rights

You, as owner, are typically the recipient of any distributions under the Contract while the Annuitant is alive. The owner of the Contract is usually, but not necessarily, the Annuitant. As owner, you can name beneficiaries, assign the Contract, transfer allocations between Subaccounts and the Fixed Account and designate who receives any annuity payments or distributions under the Contract. You will receive all annuity payments during the Annuitant’s lifetime, unless you designate another person or entity as the payee. Keep in mind that if you designate another person or entity as payee, you may still be responsible for any income tax payable on the payments.

In the event the Annuitant dies, the death proceeds in the Contract are payable to the named beneficiary. If there is no beneficiary, the death proceeds are payable to you as the owner. We use the Annuitant’s life to determine the Annuity Commencement Date of the Contract. In the case of a qualified pension or profit-sharing plan, the Annuitant is the plan participant, and the owner is the retirement plan.

Adult and Juvenile Contracts

We issue adult Contracts to applicants age 16 or older. We issue juvenile Contracts when the proposed Annuitant was younger than age 16 but otherwise eligible for benefit membership.

In the case of the adult Contract, the Annuitant must be 16 years of age or older. While the Annuitant is alive and before the Annuity Commencement Date, the owner of the Contract may exercise every right and enjoy every benefit provided in the Contract. For the juvenile Contract, a juvenile is named as the Annuitant and owner of the Contract. However, because of age, the juvenile cannot exercise the rights of ownership. The adult controller exercises certain rights of ownership on behalf of the juvenile Annuitant. These rights are described in the Contract. The adult controller may transfer control to another eligible person, but cannot transfer ownership of the Contract.

Transfer of control to the juvenile Annuitant will take place at the first Contract Anniversary following the earlier of: the Annuitant’s 21st birthday; or the Annuitant’s 16th birthday after the adult controller transfers control to the Annuitant in writing (or automatically at age 16 in New York), or the death of the adult controller after the Annuitant’s 16th birthday.

If the person who has control of the Contract dies before the Annuitant gains control, control will be vested in an eligible person according to our Bylaws. If we determine that it is best for the Annuitant, we may transfer control of the Contract to some other eligible person according to our Bylaws.

The juvenile Annuitant will become a benefit member on the first Contract Anniversary on or following the juvenile’s 16th birthday.

Beneficiaries

You may name one or more beneficiaries to receive the death proceeds payable under the Contract. If no beneficiary has been named or the beneficiary does not survive the Annuitant, the death proceeds will be paid to you, if living, otherwise to your estate. Thrivent Bylaws list persons eligible to be beneficiaries. You may designate beneficiaries as either first, second or third class. Unless otherwise specified, we will distribute death proceeds in the following order to beneficiaries:

♦

equally to the beneficiaries in the first class. If none are living, then;

♦

equally to the beneficiaries in the second class. If none are living, then;

♦

equally to the beneficiaries in the third class.

If a beneficiary dies within 15 days after the death of the Annuitant, we will consider the beneficiary to have died before the Annuitant for purposes of paying the death proceeds.

No Beneficiary change shall take effect unless received by the Society at its Service Center. When it is received, any change shall take effect as of the date the request for beneficiary change was signed, as long as the request for change was mailed or actually delivered to the Society while the insured was alive. Such beneficiary change shall be null and void where the Society has made a good faith payment of the proceeds or has taken other action before receiving the change.

Assignments of Ownership

You may absolutely assign your Contract by sending a written request, in good order, to our Service Center before the Annuity Commencement Date. You may not absolutely assign a juvenile Contract or a Contract issued in connection with Qualified Plans. You may assign your Contract as collateral for a loan by sending a written request to our Service Center. You may not assign a Contract issued in connection with a Qualified Plan as collateral. You may not assign a Contract after the Annuity Commencement Date. We will give you a special form to make these requests. We must receive and

approve any assignment request before it is effective. Once we approve it, the assignment is effective on the date you designated on your written request, in good order, or the date we receive it at our Service Center if no date appears on the request. We are not liable for any payment we make or action we take before we receive and approve an assignment. We are not responsible for the validity or tax consequences of any transfer of ownership.

Before you consider assigning, selling, pledging or transferring your Contract, you should consider the tax implications. Generally speaking, assignments are taxable as a complete distribution (surrender) from a deferred annuity contract. See Taxes for more information.

The interest of any beneficiary will be subject to any collateral assignment. Any indebtedness and interest charged against your Contract or any agreement for a reduction in benefits shall have priority over the interest of any owner, beneficiary or collateral assignee under the Contract.

Successor Owners

If you are not the Annuitant, you may designate a successor owner to receive the Contract in the event of your death. If you do not designate a successor owner, your estate will become the new owner upon your death. You may designate or change a successor owner by submitting a written request to our Service Center. We will give you a special form on which to make this request. We must receive and approve any successor owner request before it is effective. Once we approve it, the successor owner designation is effective on the date you designated on your written request or the date we receive it, in good order, at our Service Center if no date appears on the request. We are not liable for any payment we make or action we take before we receive and approve the designation. We are not responsible for the validity of any designation or change of a successor owner.

Upon any owner’s death before the Annuity Commencement Date, we are required to distribute the Cash Surrender Value within five years. However, if the successor owner is a natural person (as opposed to an entity), the successor owner may elect to receive the Cash Surrender Value in periodic payments over the successor owner’s life (or over a period not exceeding the successor owner’s life expectancy) as long as the payments begin within one year of your death. If your Spouse is the successor owner, your Spouse will automatically become the owner of the Contract and will not be required to take these distributions.

Contracts Issued in Connection with Qualified Plans

If the Contract was used in a Qualified Plan and the owner is the plan administrator, the plan administrator may transfer ownership to the Annuitant if the Qualified Plan permits. Otherwise, a Contract used in a Qualified Plan may not be sold, assigned, discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as surety for performance of an obligation or for any other purpose, to any person other than Thrivent.

Where allowed by the Contract, the Spouse will have 60 days from the date we receive proof of your death in which to elect to receive proceeds or to continue the Contract. If an election to receive death proceeds or to continue the Contract is not made within 60 days, the surviving Spouse will be deemed to have elected to continue the Contract effective on the Exchange Date. If the surviving Spouse elects to continue the Contract, the Death Benefit will be determined according to your Contract based on the Accumulated Value on the Exchange Date.

If your Contract was issued in connection with a Qualified Plan, additional restrictions on the manner of payment of the Death Benefit may apply. Any such restrictions will be stated in the Contract or the plan documents. Purchasers acquiring contracts pursuant to Qualified Plans should consult qualified pension or tax advisers.

Minimum Contract Value

If on your Contract Anniversary, the Accumulated Value of your Contract is below $600 and you have paid no premium for the past 36 consecutive months, we will terminate your Contract and pay you the Accumulated Value of the Contract.

Allocation of Premiums

You may allocate premiums under the Contract to one or more of the Subaccounts of the Variable Account and the Fixed Account. You may make twelve free transfers in each Contract Year. We will charge you $10 for each subsequent transfer.

The Accumulated Value of the Contract in the Subaccounts and the amount of variable annuity payments will vary, primarily based on the investment experience of the Portfolios whose shares are held in the Subaccounts designated. Premium allocations to the Fixed Account will accumulate at an effective annual interest rate of at least 3.5%.

Asset Rebalancing

You may choose to automatically rebalance your Contract value periodically under the Asset Rebalancing Program. Automatic Asset Rebalancing may be set up annually or semi-annually to begin on the date you select (except the 29th, 30th, or 31st of a month). Before you begin the program, you should determine your investment goals and risk tolerance. After you determine the appropriate allocations and percentages, we will begin allocating your premiums immediately and rebalance on the date you select.

To elect to participate in the program, we must receive a written request at our Service Center from you. This request will override any previous allocations you may have chosen. Rebalancing continues until you stop or change it. The program will not terminate automatically by transferring your allocations to another Subaccount. You can change your allocations at any time by telephone request (if we receive proper authorization from you) or by written request. You can also stop or suspend the program by providing a written request to our Service Center.

Periodic rebalancing takes into account increases and decreases in Contract values in each Subaccount due to performance, withdrawals, transfers and premiums.

Automatic Asset Rebalancing does not count toward the number of free transfers described previously.

The Fixed Account is excluded from this program. We reserve the right to change this program at any time.

Dollar Cost Averaging

You may establish a Dollar Cost Averaging Program to make periodic transfers of at least the minimum amount required from the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount to the other Subaccounts except the Fixed Account. Transfers will be made automatically on the date you choose (except the 29th, 30th or 31st of a month). You may use Dollar Cost Averaging until the amount in the Thrivent Money Market Subaccount is completely transferred, at which time this DCA plan shall terminate. You may terminate the plan at any time by request. Dollar Cost Averaging may be suitable for you if you wish to make a substantial deposit in your Contract. This approach allows you to spread investments over time to reduce the risk of investing at the top of the market cycle. You may establish a Dollar Cost Averaging plan by obtaining an application and full information concerning the plan and its restrictions, from our Service Center. Transfers under Dollar Cost Averaging are not subject to the charges applicable to transfers, described below.

Dollar Cost Averaging does not ensure a profit or protect against a loss during declining markets. Because such a program involves continuous investment regardless of changing share prices, you should consider your ability to continue the program through times when the share prices are high.

General Account

The General Account is the general account of Thrivent, which consists of all assets of Thrivent other than those allocated to a Separate Account. Allocations to the Fixed Account are maintained in the General Account. Insurance benefits are paid from the General Account and are subject to Thrivent’s claims-paying ability.

Contract or Registered Separate Account Changes

Shares of the Fund are sold to other Portfolios of the Fund, to other insurance company separate accounts of ours, and to other insurance company separate accounts not affiliated with us. The Fund may, in the future, create new Portfolios. It is conceivable that in the future it may be disadvantageous for both variable annuity separate accounts and variable life insurance separate accounts to invest simultaneously in the Fund, although we do not foresee any such disadvantages to either variable annuity or variable life insurance contract owners. The Fund’s management intends to monitor events in order to identify any material conflicts between such Contract Owners and to determine what action, if any, should be taken in response. Material conflicts could result from, for example:

♦

Changes in state insurance laws;

♦

Changes in Federal income tax law;

♦

Changes in the investment management of the Fund; or

♦

Differences in voting instructions between those given by the Contract Owners from the different separate accounts.

If we believe the responses of the Fund to any of those events or conflicts insufficiently protects Contract Owners, we may take appropriate action on our own. Such action could include the sale of Fund shares by one or more of the separate accounts, which could have adverse consequences.

The Fund is a Minnesota corporation registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company (commonly called a “mutual fund”). That registration does not involve supervision by the SEC of the management or investment practices or policies of the Fund.

The Variable Account will purchase and redeem shares from the Fund at net asset value. Shares will be redeemed to the extent necessary for us to collect charges under the Contracts, to make payments upon surrenders, to provide benefits under the Contracts, or to transfer assets from one Subaccount to another as requested by Contract Owners. Any dividend or capital gain distribution received from a Portfolio of the Funds will be reinvested immediately at net asset value in shares of that Portfolio and retained as assets of the corresponding Subaccount.

Addition, Deletion, Combination, or Substitution of Investments

Where permitted by applicable law and business need, we reserve the right to make certain changes to the structure and operation of the Variable Account, including, among others, the right to:

♦

Remove, combine, or add Subaccounts and make the new Subaccounts available to you at our discretion;

♦

Substitute shares of another Portfolio, which may have differences such as (among other things) different fees and expenses, objectives, and risks, for shares of an existing Portfolio in which your Subaccount invests at our discretion;

♦

Substitute or close Subaccounts to allocations of premiums or Accumulated Value, or both, and to existing investments or the investment of future premiums, or both, at any time in our discretion;

♦

Transfer assets supporting the Contract from one Subaccount to another or from the Variable Account to another Variable Account;

♦

Combine the Variable Account with other variable accounts, and/or create new variable accounts;

♦

Deregister the Variable Account under the 1940 Act, or operate the Variable Account as a management investment company under the 1940 Act, or as any other form permitted by law; and

♦

Modify the provisions of the Contract to reflect changes to the Subaccounts and the Variable Account and to comply with applicable law.

The Portfolios, which sell their shares to the Subaccounts, also may terminate these arrangements and discontinue offering their shares to the Subaccounts. We will not make any changes without receiving any necessary approval of the SEC and applicable state insurance departments. We will notify you of any changes.

Income, gains and losses, whether or not realized, from the assets in each Subaccount are credited to or charged against that Subaccount without regard to any of our other income, gains or losses. The value of the assets in the Variable Account is determined at the end of each Valuation Date.

If investment in the Fund or in any particular Portfolio is no longer possible, in our judgment becomes inappropriate for the purposes of the Contract, or for any other reason in our sole discretion, we may close or combine any of the current Portfolios. We may close a Portfolio to new investment, but continue to allow current investors to add additional premium payments, or we may combine the Portfolio with another Portfolio. The substituted investment option may have different fees and expenses. We will not make any substitutions without receiving any necessary approval of the SEC and state insurance departments, if applicable. You will be notified of any substitutions. This notification will include the name of the Portfolio being modified, the approximate date of the shareholder vote, the date any combination will be completed (if approved and if applicable), the date that the Portfolio will be closed to new investment selections, the date that funds can no longer be applied to the Portfolio and the description of where the current value will move to (if applicable) and where future premium payments (if any) will be applied. Subaccounts may be opened, closed or substituted with regard to any of the following as of any specified date: 1) existing Accumulated Value; 2) future payments; and 3) existing and/or future Contract Owners. The Fund sells its shares to the Subaccounts pursuant to a participation agreement and may terminate the agreement and discontinue offering its shares to the Subaccounts.

In addition, we reserve the right to make other structural and operational changes affecting the Variable Account.

We do not guarantee any money you place in the Subaccounts. The value of each Subaccount will increase or decrease, depending on the investment performance of the corresponding Portfolio and fees and charges under the Contract. You could lose some or all of your money.

Frequent Transfers among Variable Option s

Frequent or unusual premium payments, withdrawals or transfers may dilute the value of the underlying fund shares if the trading takes advantage of any lag between a change in the value of an underlying fund’s portfolio securities and the reflection of that change in the underlying fund’s share price. In addition, frequent transactions may increase costs of the underlying fund, and may disrupt an underlying fund’s portfolio management strategy, requiring it to maintain a relatively higher cash position and possibly resulting in lost opportunity costs and forced liquidations of securities held by the fund. We have policies and procedures to discourage frequent transactions. We use reasonable efforts to apply the policies and procedures uniformly.

As described in the Charges - Transfer Charge section, we impose a fee if transfers made within a given time period exceed a maximum contractual number. If we determine that you are engaging in excessive trading activity, we will request that you cease such activity immediately. If we determine that you are continuing to engage in excessive trading, we will restrict your Contract so that you can make transfers on only one business day each calendar month and any such transfers must be separated by at least 20 calendar days.

We also use a combination of monitoring Contract Owner activity and further restricting certain Contract Owner activity based on a history of frequent transactions. When monitoring Contract Owner activity, we may consider several factors to evaluate transaction activity including, but not limited to, the amount and frequency of premiums and withdrawals, the amount of time between transfers and trading patterns. In making this evaluation, we may consider transactions in multiple Contracts under common ownership or control.

We may also, without prior notice, limit, modify, restrict, suspend, or eliminate your right to continue frequent transactions. We monitor for frequent activity based upon established parameters that are applied consistently to all Contract Owners. Such parameters may include, without limitation, the length of the holding period between premium payments and withdrawals, the length of the holding period between Subaccount transfers, the number of transfers in a specified period, the dollar amount of transfers, and/or any combination of the foregoing. Exceptions may apply to Dollar Cost Averaging, automatic investment plans, systematic withdrawal plans or non-abusive re-balancing. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to identify other trading practices as abusive.

Although we seek to deter and prevent frequent trading practices, there are no guarantees that all activity can be detected or prevented. Contract Owners engaging in such trading practices use an evolving variety of strategies to avoid detection and it may not be possible for operational and technological systems to reasonably identify all frequent trading activity. Contract Owners still may be subject to their harmful effects if Thrivent is unable to detect and deter abusive trading practices.

We may revise our policies and procedures in our sole discretion, at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate to better detect and deter harmful trading activity, or to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, or to impose additional or alternative restrictions on Contract Owners engaging in frequent transfers. In addition, our orders to purchase shares of the funds are generally subject to acceptance by the fund, and in some cases a fund may reject or reverse our purchase order. Therefore, we reserve the right to reject any Contract Owners’ transfer request if our order to purchase shares of the Fund is not accepted by, or is reversed by, an applicable fund.

Date of Receipt

Except as otherwise stated herein, the date of our receipt of any Notice, premium payment, telephonic instructions or other communication is the actual date it is received at our Service Center in good order unless received (1) after the close of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), or (2) on a date which is not a Valuation Date. In either of these two cases, the date of receipt will be deemed to be the next Valuation Date.

Anti-Money Laundering

In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of federal law. Among other things, this program requires us, our financial advisors and professionals, and our customers to comply with certain procedures and standards that serve to ensure that our customers’ identities are properly verified and that premiums are not derived from improper sources. We reserve the right to reject premiums. We reserve the right to verify any information received by accessing information maintained in databases internally or externally.

Under applicable anti-money laundering rules and other regulations, certain transactions may be suspended, restricted or cancelled and any proceeds may be withheld. Laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might in certain circumstances, require us to block certain transactions until we receive authorization from the appropriate regulator.

Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to account for changes in applicable laws or regulations. We may also make changes as a result of our ongoing assessment of exposure to illegal activity.

Reports to Contract Owners

At least once each year we will send you a report showing the value of your Contract. The report will include the Accumulated Value and any additional information required by law. Values shown will be for a date no more than two months prior to the date we mail the report. We will mail your report to your last known address unless prior mailings have been returned undeliverable to us. We will make a reasonable effort in these situations to locate you in order to continue mailing your report and other related documents. Please notify the Service Center if your address has changed.

If your Contract is set up on monthly systematic purchases or surrenders, we will only send quarterly confirmation statements for these transactions.

Gender Neutral Benefits

In 1983, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Arizona Governing Committee v. Norris that the application of sex-distinct actuarial tables to employees based upon their gender in calculating the amount of retirement benefits violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1963. Because of this decision, employer-sponsored retirement plans may not use sex-distinct actuarial annuity rates in determining benefits.

Generally, annuity payments described in this prospectus are determined using sex-distinct actuarial tables based on the Annuitant’s gender. However, annuity payments will be based on a gender neutral basis for the following:

♦

Contracts used in an employer sponsored retirement plan; and

♦

Contracts issued in Massachusetts and Montana.

Annuity Period

The next phase after the accumulation phase of the Contract is the annuity phase. The annuity phase is the period when you begin receiving annuity payments (periodic payments), based on the amounts you accumulated under your Contract. This phase begins on the Annuity Commencement Date. Currently, we offer annuity payment options only on a fixed basis, however, we may choose to make other annuity payment options available in the future. Like the accumulation phase, any amounts remaining in your Contract during the annuity phase are tax-deferred until the payment is received.

Annuity Commencement Date

The Annuity Commencement Date is the date we apply the Cash Surrender Value to an annuity payment option for the benefit of a payee. The Annuity Commencement Date is sometimes referred to as a maturity date or annuity date. We determine the Annuity Commencement Date at the time we issue your Contract. If the Contract is nonqualified, Annuitant’s age 80 is the earliest maturity age we assign at issue. If the Contract is a qualified Contract, Annuitant’s age 70 is the earliest maturity age we assign at issue. In certain circumstances you can change your Annuity Commencement Date to a date sooner or later than the assigned date in order to begin or defer receiving annuity payments. Some states may have certain restrictions as to the assignment of a maturity age. For either qualified or nonqualified Contracts, if the Annuitant’s age is greater than the earliest maturity age we use, the maturity age and Annuity Commencement Date will be dependent upon the Annuitant’s age at the time we issue the Contract. You may change your Annuity Commencement Date by giving us Notice in writing or by telephone before both the Annuity Commencement Date currently in effect and the new Annuity Commencement Date. The Annuity Commencement Date is subject to our approval. If we issue your Contract in connection with a Qualified Plan, your plan document, or Contract endorsement may restrict your choice of an Annuity Commencement Date or the annuity payment option available.

Your Contract provides for a Death Benefit if the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date. After the Annuity Commencement Date, amounts payable, if any, depend upon the terms of the payment option.

However, we cannot make any annuity payments under an annuity payment option if you previously surrendered your Contract or if we have paid out all of the death proceeds to your beneficiary. At the Annuity Commencement Date stated in your Contract, we may, at our discretion, allow you to extend the Annuity Commencement Date.

Annuity Payments

If you select an annuity payment option, we will transfer your Cash Surrender Value on your Annuity Commencement Date to our General Account, which supports our insurance and annuity obligations. We call the resulting value your Annuity Proceeds. Your Annuity Proceeds will not vary with the performance of the Variable Account. We will pay the Annuity Proceeds to the payee that you designated on your Contract. You may not change to a different annuity payment option once your initial selection has been established. Generally, you or your beneficiary will be the payee.

The following annuity payment options are generally available under the Contract:

♦

Option 1—Interest. You leave the Annuity Proceeds with us to earn interest. You may elect to receive the interest that you earn at regular intervals or you may leave the interest to accumulate. You may withdraw all or part of the Annuity Proceeds and the interest earned by submitting a request to our Service Center. Funds held in this option are

not tax-deferred. You will be taxed on any taxable gains that accumulated and any earnings attributable to your Accumulated Value in the year in which this option is effected. Interest payments will be currently taxed in the year in which we credit them. This option may not be available in your state.

♦

Option 2—Specified Amount Income. We make annuity payments at regular intervals of the amount you selected until the entire Annuity Proceeds plus the interest earned have been paid. The payment period may not be less than 13 months or exceed 30 years. Longer payment periods are permitted in certain circumstances. The payee may withdraw the commuted value of any remaining payments by submitting a request to our Service Center. Annuity payments paid under this option are guaranteed as to a minimum dollar amount.

♦

Option 3—Fixed Period Income. We make annuity payments at regular intervals for a fixed number of payments, not to exceed 30 years. We call this payment period the “Guaranteed Payment Period.” At the end of the guaranteed payment period, all of the annuity payments will be paid, and the Contract will terminate. Longer payment periods are permitted in certain circumstances. The payee may withdraw the commuted value of any remaining payments by submitting a request to our Service Center. Annuity payments paid under this option are guaranteed as to a minimum dollar amount.

♦

Option 4—Life Income with Guaranteed Payment Period. We make annuity payments at regular intervals for the lifetime of the payee. If the payee dies during the guaranteed payment period, we will continue payments to the payee’s named beneficiary to the end of the guaranteed payment period. The payee may choose a guaranteed payment period of 0 to 30 years at the time this option is selected. The amount of the annuity payments depends upon the age and, where permitted, sex of the payee at the time we issue the annuity payment option. Annuity payments paid under this option are guaranteed as to minimum dollar amount during the guaranteed payment period.

♦

Option 5—Joint and Survivor Life Income with Guaranteed Payment Period. We make annuity payments at regular intervals for the lifetime of both payees. Upon the death of one of the payees, we will continue payments for the lifetime of the surviving payee. If both payees die during the guaranteed payment period, we will continue payments to the payees’ beneficiary to the end of that period. The payees may choose a guaranteed payment period of 0 to 30 years at the time this option is selected. The payees may also choose to have the annuity payments reduce upon the death of the first payee. The annuity payments may be reduced by a factor of 1∕2, 1∕3 or 1∕4. A higher reduction amount will result in a higher payment while both payees are alive. The amount of the payments depends upon the age and, where permitted, sex of the payees at the time we issue the annuity payment option. Annuity payments paid under this option are guaranteed as to minimum dollar amount during the guaranteed payment period.

We also have other annuity payment options that may be chosen. Information about these options may be obtained from your financial advisor or professional or our Service Center.

If you do not select an annuity payment option before your Annuity Commencement Date, we will select Option 4, the life income with guaranteed payment period, for you.

Before your Annuity Commencement Date, you may elect to receive a single sum rather than payments under the annuity payment option by surrendering the Contract.

Under the annuity payment options, the payee may select payments on a monthly, quarterly, semiannual or annual basis, provided each payment is at least $25 ($20 for residents of New York.). We will make the first payment under the annuity payment option on the first business day following the end of the payment interval you choose. If the Annuity Proceeds at the Annuity Commencement Date are less than $1,000 or would not result in a payment of at least $25, we may pay the Annuity Proceeds in a single sum and we will cancel your annuity payment option. We determine the amount of your annuity payments by applying the Annuity Proceeds less any fees or charges due, to the annuity table in the Contract for the annuity payment option selected. We show the amount of the minimum annuity payments guaranteed by us for each $1,000 in an annuity payment option in the table in your Contract. The values of the annuity payment options are based on the payee’s age and sex on the Annuity Commencement Date. If there is an error as to the date of birth or sex of the payee, we will adjust any amount payable to conform to the correct date of birth or sex.

With respect to each annuity payment under an annuity payment option, we may pay more than the amount of the guaranteed payment. However, we also reserve the right to reduce the amount of any current payment that is higher than the guaranteed amount, to an amount not less than the guaranteed amount.

We will also deduct any applicable Administrative Charge at the Annuity Commencement Date upon commencement of an annuity payment option or receipt of a lump sum.

We declare interest rates applicable to annuity payment options at least annually. Interest is compounded daily at an effective annual guaranteed minimum interest rate of 3.0% or 3.5% based on the option elected. We may declare higher interest rates at our discretion.

We consider numerous factors, including the earnings of the general or special accounts, expenses and mortality charges and experience.

Partial Annuitization

Federal tax law permits taxpayers to annuitize a portion of their annuity while leaving the remaining balance tax deferred. You may elect to have a portion of your proceeds ($2,000 or more) paid to you under an annuity Settlement Option or a combination of options. The Settlement Option(s) must be for a fixed amount or fixed period payable for at least ten years, or a single or joint life income with or without a guaranteed period, or any other option agreeable to us. If this requirement is met, the Settlement Option and the tax-deferred balance will generally be treated as two separate contracts for income tax purposes only. Your after-tax premiums in your contract will be allocated pro rata between the Settlement Option and the portion that remains deferred.

Withdrawals and Surrenders during the Annuity Phase

Upon the Annuity Commencement Date and if the payee chooses a life income payment option, the payee must also elect to characterize the annuity payments as revocable or irrevocable. (However, some states do not allow the characterizations of a Contract as revocable.) For all other payment options, your Contract will be revocable.

If your Contract is revocable and you have chosen a life income payment option, you can later characterize your Contract as irrevocable. However, once you characterize your payments as irrevocable, you cannot later change it to a revocable Contract once we begin making the payments.

In the event you surrender or take a withdrawal, in such cases, the amount you may withdraw or surrender is the commuted value of any unpaid annuity payments remaining in the guaranteed payout period. The commuted value is the current payments discounted at a rate you establish at the time you select your annuity payment option.

Death of Owner/Payee after the Annuity Commencement Date

If an owner/payee dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date and before all of the Annuity Proceeds have been paid, we must pay any remaining Annuity Proceeds under the annuity payment option at least as rapidly as payments were being paid under that annuity payment option on the date of death. If your Contract was issued in connection with a Qualified Plan, additional restrictions on the manner of payment may apply.

Death of an Owner and/or Annuitant Before the Annuity Commencement Date

If the Annuitant dies before the Annuity Commencement Date, the Contract provides a Death Benefit. We calculate the Death Benefit at the end of the Valuation Period during which we receive at our Service Center satisfactory proof of the death of an Annuitant. Any amount of the Death Benefit in excess of the Accumulated Value will be allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account according to the ratio of the Accumulated Value in each to the Accumulated Value in the Contract. Once calculated, death proceeds may continue to be subject to the investment experience of the Variable Account. When based on the investment experience of the Variable Account, death proceeds may increase or decrease daily and are not guaranteed for a minimum dollar amount. Only when the beneficiary provides the claim form and all claim requirements in good order will that beneficiary’s share of the death proceeds be removed from the market so that claim payment can be made. In the case of multiple beneficiaries, we must receive a completed form from each beneficiary. We process each claim independently. Surrender charges do not apply to death proceeds.

If you are an owner, but not the Annuitant, upon your death we will pay the Cash Surrender Value (not the death proceeds) of the Contract to your successor owner. (However, for Contracts delivered in New York, we will pay the Accumulated Value.)

Upon the death of the first owner to die, we are required to distribute the death proceeds (or Cash Surrender Value) to either your beneficiary or successor owner (as stated above):

♦

within five years of your death; or

♦

if your beneficiary or successor owner is a natural person (as opposed to an entity), he or she may select an annuity payment option. Payments must begin within one year of your death. The annuity payments in the selected annuity payment option must be made over a period that does not extend beyond the life or life expectancy of the beneficiary or successor owner, as applicable.

Your beneficiary’s choices of payment options may be limited if you designate a mandatory form of distribution which does not allow your beneficiary to change it.

Any proceeds not subsequently withdrawn will be paid in a lump sum on the date five years after the date of death.

Before we can process any death proceeds, we must receive at our Service Center:

♦

proof that the Annuitant or owner died before the Annuity Commencement Date;

♦

a completed claim form; and

♦

any other information that we reasonably require to process the claim.

If the Annuitant dies before age 80, the Death Benefit is calculated as the greater of:

♦

the Accumulated Value of the Contract;

♦

the sum of all premiums paid less the sum of any withdrawals; or

♦

the highest Accumulated Value of the Contract on any minimum death proceeds valuation date preceding the death proceeds calculation date, plus the sum of all premiums paid since the minimum death proceeds valuation date, less the sum of any withdrawals since that date. The first minimum death proceeds valuation is:

(a)The Contract issue date if that date is on or after March 1st, 2001; otherwise

(b)The first Contract Anniversary date on or after March 1st, 2001.

In the year the Annuitant reaches age 79, the Minimum Death Benefit Value is set for the last time on the Contract Anniversary date. From that point forward, death proceeds will be the last established minimum death proceeds amount, plus premiums, less withdrawals since that time, or the Accumulated Value of the Contract as of the good order date, whichever is greater.

If an Annuitant dies before annuity payments begin and that Annuitant’s Spouse is the sole primary beneficiary, he or she may, to the extent permitted by law and the Contract, elect to continue the Contract in force, in which case the surviving Spouse will become and be treated as the Annuitant and owner effective on the date that the death proceeds are calculated (“Exchange Date”). Any amount of death proceeds in excess of the Accumulated Value of the Contract will be allocated to the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account according to the ratio of the accumulated value in each to the Accumulated Value of the Contract. Where allowed by the Contract, the Spouse will have 60 days from the date we receive proof of your death in which to elect to receive proceeds or to continue the Contract. If an election to receive death proceeds or to continue the Contract is not made within 60 days, the surviving Spouse will be deemed to have elected to continue the Contract effective on the Exchange Date. If the surviving Spouse elects to continue the Contract, the Death Benefit will be determined according to your Contract based on the Accumulated Value on the Exchange Date.

Example of calculation of death proceeds:

Carlos died on June 20. Since the Contract’s issue date, Carlos contributed a total of $300,000 of premium payments to his Contract and made no withdrawals. On June 25, we received proof of death. The current Accumulated Value of Carlos’s Contract on that day was $275,000. The death benefit provides for an infusion to the Contract if the total premiums payments adjusted for surrenders exceed the Accumulated Value when we receive proof of death. We determined Carlos’s Death Benefit by comparing the following:

Comparison Values
Total premiums paid	$300,000
Accumulated Value	$275,000
Death Benefit	$300,000

Since the highest value is $300,000, an amount is infused into the Contract to bring the value of the contract up to $300,000 ($25,000 + $275,000 = $300,000). This amount equals the death proceeds.

Death Proceeds fluctuate daily and are not guaranteed as to minimum dollar amount. No proceeds are distributed until we receive all claim requirements in good order.

Example of Paying Death Proceeds to Beneficiaries:

On June 25, we received proof of death; we determined that the death proceeds were $300,000 as of that day (30,000 accumulation units x $10 each). Carlos’s two children are the beneficiaries and are entitled to 1∕2 each (as a result, each one is entitled to 15,000 accumulation units). Beneficiaries submit their claim forms on different dates. As a result they receive the following:

Date	Beneficiary	Accumulation Unit Value	Death Proceeds Received
July 10	Ramona	$11	15,000 x $11= $165,000
July 20	Sofia	$9	15,000 x $9= $135,000

Beneficiaries who are natural persons may elect to receive the Death Benefit in a lump sum or according to one of the settlement plans described in the Contract. See Annuity Period – Annuity Payments.

Death of Owner/Payee after the Annuity Commencement Date

Purchases and Contract Value

Premium Payments

Your payment must be in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S. Bank. Thrivent does not accept cash, starter checks (checks without pre-printed registration), traveler’s checks, credit card, courtesy checks or most third-party checks. If you pay a premium by check, we require a reasonable time for that check to clear your bank before such funds would be available to you. This period of time will not exceed 15 days.

Crediting and Allocating Your Premium Payments

You may allocate your premiums to any Subaccount of the Variable Account and/or the Fixed Account. Your allocation must be in whole percentages and total 100% of your premiums. We reserve the right to adjust allocation percentages to eliminate fractional percentages. We also reserve the right to limit the number of allocations to Subaccounts. You may not allocate less than $50 to either the Subaccount(s) or the Fixed Account. We will allocate your premiums according to the instructions you provided in your application for the Contract or subsequently.

Absent further instructions, subsequent premiums will be allocated according to your application. You may change your allocation for future premiums at any time by submitting a request to our Service Center.

Fixed Account

You may make only one transfer from the Fixed Account in each Contract year. The transfer may not exceed the greater of $500 or 25% of the total value of the Fixed Account at the time of transfer.

Because of exemptive and exclusionary provisions, interests in the Fixed Account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (“1933 Act”), and the Fixed Account has not been registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”). Accordingly, neither the Fixed Account, nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts. Disclosures regarding the Fixed Account, however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements in prospectuses.

Contract Owners have no voting rights in the Variable Account with respect to Fixed Account values.

Timely Processing

We will process all requests in a timely fashion. Requests received in good order prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (or sooner if the NYSE closes prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on a Valuation Date will use the Accumulation Unit Value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on that Valuation Date. We will process requests received after that time using the Accumulation Unit Value as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE of the following Valuation Date. An online transaction payment will be applied on the effective date you select. This date can be the same day you perform the transaction as long as the request is received prior to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The effective date cannot be a date prior to the date of the online transaction.

Once we issue your Contract, we will process payment of any amount due from any Subaccount within seven calendar days after we receive Notice. Payment may be postponed if the NYSE is closed. Postponement may also result for such other periods as the SEC may permit. Payment from the Fixed Account may be deferred up to six months.

Accumulated Value of Your Contract

On or before the Annuity Date, your Contract’s value is expressed as its Accumulated Value. Your Contract’s Accumulated Value is the sum of the accumulated values in Subaccounts and the Fixed Account.

Your Contract’s Accumulated Value will reflect the investment experience of the chosen Subaccounts, any amount of value in the Fixed Account, any premiums that you pay, any surrenders you make, and any charges we assess in connection with the Contract. There is no guaranteed minimum Accumulated Value, and, because a Contract’s Accumulated Value on any future date depends upon a number of variables, it cannot be predetermined.

There are two phases in the Contract: the accumulation and annuity phases. The accumulation phase is the period prior to the Annuity Commencement Date when you invest premiums in the separate and/or Fixed Account under the Contract. Premiums increase the Accumulated Value. In addition, the performance of the Subaccounts underlying the Variable Account and/or the Fixed Account will affect the Accumulated Value as well. The Contract may increase or decrease in value depending on the performance of the Variable Account. Generally, any increase in the Contract’s value grows tax-deferred until you request a distribution. Any distributions you take from the Contract during the accumulation phase are taxable to the extent there is gain in the Contract. Accumulation phase distributions are taxed differently than annuity payments. For annuity payments (periodic payments from an annuity payment option during the annuity phase), any cost basis in the Contract is prorated over the length of the annuity payment option. Therefore, each annuity payment will consist partially of cost basis (if there is any) and partially of taxable gain.

Contract Valuation

During the accumulation phase, we refer to your Contract’s value as the Accumulated Value. The Accumulated Value is the total of:

♦

the Fixed Account value; and

♦

the Variable Account value (the total of all your Subaccounts).

The Accumulated Value of your Contract is determined on each Valuation Date.

Fixed Account Valuation

You may choose to deposit some or none of your money in the Fixed Account portion of the Contract. We will credit interest on the Accumulated Values within the Fixed Account at a declared rate of interest for 12 months from the time of deposit. Interest is compounded daily at an effective annual guaranteed minimum interest rate of 3.5%. We may declare higher interest rates at our discretion. You bear the risk that interest credited on the Accumulated Value within the Fixed Account may not exceed 3.5% for any 12-month period.

Each month we declare the effective annual interest rate that applies to the Fixed Account. This new rate applies to new premiums or amounts newly transferred from a Subaccount (new money) for the 12-month period beginning at the time of your deposit to the Fixed Account. After that period expires, a new rate will be declared for that deposit and will be effective for another 12 months. This process continues for each block of existing deposits at the end of each 12-month period.

The rate of interest in effect at any time for new money may differ from the rate or rates in effect for any blocks of existing money in the Fixed Account. Interest on existing money may vary depending on when the new money was first deposited in the Fixed Account. For purposes of crediting future interest, we will take any withdrawals or transfers from the oldest deposits and accumulated interest in the Fixed Account.

Variable Account Valuation

We calculate the value of each Subaccount by multiplying the number of accumulation units attributable to that Subaccount by the Accumulation Unit Value for the Subaccount. Any amounts allocated to a Subaccount will be converted into accumulation units of the Subaccount.

We credit accumulation units to your Subaccount when you allocate premiums or transfer amounts to that particular Subaccount. The number of accumulation units we credit is determined by dividing the premium or other amount credited to the Subaccount by the accumulation unit value for that Valuation Date. Conversely, we reduce your accumulation units in a Subaccount when you withdraw or transfer from that Subaccount and by the Contract maintenance charge allocable to your Contract. The investment experience of the portfolio underlying each Subaccount will cause the accumulation unit value to increase or decrease. In addition, we assess a mortality and expense risk charge, which effectively reduces the value of the Subaccount. We make no guarantee as to the value in any Subaccount. You bear all the investment risk on the performance of the portfolios underlying the corresponding Subaccounts you choose. Because of all of the variables effecting a Subaccount’s performance, the Subaccount’s value cannot be predetermined.

In addition to your investment experience, any premiums you make or any surplus refund we credit will positively affect your Accumulated Value. If you make any withdrawals, your Accumulated Value will decrease by the amount of the withdrawals and any associated withdrawal charges.

At the end of each Valuation Period, the Accumulation Unit Value for a Subaccount is equal to (1) multiplied by (2) where:

(1)Is the Accumulation Unit Value for that Subaccount at the end of the prior Valuation Period.

(2) Is the Net Investment Factor for that Subaccount for that period.

Accumulation Units

Transactions in and out of a Subaccount are made by crediting or reducing the number of Accumulation Units of the Subaccount in your Contract.

We credit your Contract with Accumulation Units of a Subaccount when:

♦

You allocate premiums to that Subaccount;

♦

You transfer Accumulated Value into that Subaccount from another Subaccount or the Fixed Account;

♦

If an excess of the Death Benefit over the Accumulated Value is allocated to the Subaccount.

We reduce the Accumulation Units in a Subaccount when:

♦

You transfer Accumulated Value out of that Subaccount into another Subaccount or the Fixed Account;

♦

You make a surrender from that Subaccount;

♦

Transfer Charges are applied against the Subaccount;

Accumulation Unit Value

A Subaccount’s Accumulation Unit Value for your Contract is the unit price that is used whenever we credit or reduce Accumulation Units of the Subaccount. Accumulation Unit Values may increase or decrease at the end of each Valuation Period. We re-determine the Accumulation Unit Value for each Subaccount at the end of each Valuation Period. At the end of each Valuation Period, the Accumulation Unit Value for a Subaccount is equal to (1) multiplied by (2) where:

(1) Is the Accumulation Unit Value for that Subaccount at the end of the prior Valuation Period.

(2) The Net Investment Factor for accumulation unit values for the Subaccount for that period.

Accumulation unit values are determined at the end of each Valuation Period before the transfer or allocation of any amounts to or from the Subaccounts. The accumulation unit values may increase or decrease on each Valuation Day.

Net Investment Factor

The Net Investment Factor for a Subaccount measures investment performance of that Subaccount. The Net Investment Factor for a Subaccount for a Valuation Period is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and then subtracting (c) where:

(a)Is the sum of:

(i)The net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio of the Subaccount at the end of the Valuation Period; plus

(ii)The per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution made by the Portfolio if the “ex-dividend” date occurs during the Valuation Period; plus or minus.

(iii)A per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for what we determine to be a result of the investment operation of the Portfolio.

(b)Is the net asset value per share of the corresponding Portfolio of the Subaccount at the end of the prior Valuation Period.

(c)Is the mortality and expense risk charge we deduct for each day in the Valuation Period and is based upon the total Accumulated Value in the Subaccount. The mortality and expense risk charge is 1.25%.

Transfers among Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account

Except for certain restrictions mentioned below, you may transfer your Accumulated Value among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account. Such transfers must take place during the accumulation phase. We will process requests for transfers that we receive at our Service Center, in good order, before 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time or as of the close of business on that Valuation Date. We will process requests we receive after that time as of the close of business on the following Valuation Date.

To accomplish a transfer from a Subaccount, we will redeem the accumulation units in that Subaccount and reinvest that value in accumulation units of the other Subaccounts and/or the Fixed Account as you specify. We will impose the following restrictions on transfers:

♦

You must transfer out at least $500 or, if less, the total value of the Subaccount or Fixed Account from which you are making the transfer.

♦

You must transfer in a minimum amount of $50 to any Subaccount or to the Fixed Account.

You may make twelve free transfers from one or more Subaccounts in each Contract year. After that, we will charge you $10 for each subsequent transfer. We consider all amounts transferred in the same Valuation Period to be one transfer. It is not dependent upon the number of originating or destination Subaccounts. We deduct the transfer charge from the total value of the Subaccount from which the transfer was made. When you transfer from two or more Subaccounts, we apply the $10 transfer charge among those Subaccounts in proportion to the amounts you transfer. You may make only one transfer from the Fixed Account in each Contract year. The transfer may not exceed the greater of $500 or 25% of the total value of the Fixed Account at the time of transfer. Transfers from the Fixed Account are not subject to a transfer charge and do not count toward your twelve free transfers. If you want to transfer from the Fixed Account, we redeem the value you wish to transfer from the Fixed Account and reinvest that value in accumulation units of the Subaccount or Subaccounts you have selected.

Telephone and Online Transactions

You may perform certain transactions online or over the telephone.

We have adopted reasonable security procedures to ensure the authenticity of instructions, including requiring identifying information, recording telephone conversations and providing written confirmations of transactions. Nevertheless, we honor telephone instructions from any person who provides the correct identifying information. Be aware that there is a risk of possible loss to the Contract Owner if an unauthorized person uses this service in the Contract Owner’s name. Thrivent any liability for losses resulting from such transactions by not having been properly authorized. However, if Thrivent not take reasonable steps to help ensure that such authorizations are valid, Thrivent may be liable for such losses. Certain circumstances may prevent you from conducting transactions including but not limited to the event of a disaster, equipment malfunction, or overload of telephone system circuits. Should circumstances prevent you from conducting a telephone or online transaction, we recommend you provide us with a written request. If due to malfunction or other circumstances, the recording of the Contract Owner’s telephone request is incomplete or not fully comprehensible, we will not process the transaction. We reserve the right to suspend or limit telephone and online transactions.

Contract Owners can go online at www.thrivent.com to conduct online transactions or call the Service Center at (800) 847-4836 for telephone transactions.

Surrenders and Withdrawals

Surrenders and Withdrawals Before the Annuity Commencement Date

You may surrender or withdraw from your Accumulated Value during the accumulation phase if the Annuitant is alive. The surrender or withdrawal will not be processed until we receive your surrender request at our Service Center, in good order. We do not accept telephone requests for full surrenders. You may make partial surrenders by telephone. (Contracts used in a tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code will be subject to certain restrictions regarding surrenders and may require an employer signature. Any surrender which you request will be made at the end of the Valuation Period during which the requirements for surrender are completed. We will pay you the proceeds from a surrender within seven days after the surrender is made. We must receive a withdrawal or surrender request by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on a Valuation Date, in order to process it on the same day.

We will generally pay you the requested withdrawal or surrender amount within seven days of our receipt of your request. In certain cases, we may postpone payment of your withdrawal or surrender beyond the seven days. Please see Postponement of Payments for more information.

If the amount you request as a partial surrender would reduce the remaining Accumulated Value to less than $600, we may contact you to determine whether you would like a partial surrender of an amount that would result in remaining Accumulated Value of at least $600 or whether instead you would like to make a full surrender of your Contract. If we are unable to contact you within seven days, we reserve the right to treat your request as a request for a full surrender.

A surrender reduces your Accumulated Value by the amount surrendered. For amounts surrendered from a Subaccount, this is done by selling Accumulation Units of the Subaccount. For partial surrenders, we allocate the surrender among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account so that all accounts are reduced in value by the same percentage. With our approval, you may specify a different allocation for a partial surrender. If you have requested that a systematic partial surrender should be allocated to a specific Subaccount and the value in that Subaccount is less than the amount of the allocation, we will allocate the partial surrender among the Subaccounts and the Fixed Account so that all accounts are reduced in value by the same percentage. You may not withdraw less than $25 at one time.

Automatic Payout Option

The automatic payout option is a series of partial withdrawals from your Contract based on the payment method you select. You are taxed on each distribution to the extent there is taxable gain in the Contract. This distribution plan is not considered annuitization nor are the payments considered annuity payments. You may only establish the automatic payout option during the accumulation phase. Distributions made as automatic payments under this option will be subject to withdrawal charges. See Charges and Deductions. You can set up this distribution plan by contacting your financial advisor or professional. You should consult a tax adviser about the tax consequences of receiving automatic payouts.

Postponement of Payments

We may defer payment of any surrender, Death Benefit or annuity payment amounts that are in the Variable Account if:

(1)The New York Stock Exchange is closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted as determined by the SEC, or

(2)An emergency exists, as determined by the SEC, as a result of which disposal of securities is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the Variable Account’s net assets.

Transfers and allocations of Accumulated Value to and from the Subaccounts of the Variable Account may also be postponed under these circumstances.

We may also place a temporary hold on the disbursement of redemption proceeds, in accordance with the terms and conditions of SEC No-Action Relief under the Redemption Requirements of Section 22(e) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Loans

Loans are not permitted under the Contract.

Taxes

General

The following discussion of the federal income tax treatment of the Contract is not exhaustive, does not purport to cover all situations, and is not intended as tax advice. The federal income tax treatment of the Contract is unclear in certain circumstances, and a qualified tax advisor should always be consulted with regard to the application of law to individual circumstances. This discussion is based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), Treasury Department regulations, and interpretations existing on the date of this prospectus. These authorities, however, are subject to change by Congress, the Treasury Department, and judicial decisions.

This discussion does not address any federal estate or gift tax consequences, or any state or local tax consequences, associated with the Contract. In addition, we make no guarantee regarding any tax treatment—federal, state, or local—of any Contract or any transaction involving a Contract.

Tax Status of the Variable Account

The Variable Account is not separately taxed as a “regulated investment company” under the Code, but rather is treated as our separate account. Under current law, both the investment income and realized capital gains of the Variable Account (i.e., the income and capital gains distributed to the Variable Account by the Fund) are reinvested without taxation to us. However, we reserve the right in the future to make a charge against the Variable Account or the Accumulated Value of a Contract for any federal, state, or local income taxes that we incur and determine to be attributable to the Variable Account or the Contract.

Taxation of Annuities in General

The following discussion assumes that the Contract is not used in connection with a Qualified Plan.

Tax Deferral During Accumulation Period

In general, under current law, an increase in a Contract’s Accumulated Value is not taxable to the Contract Owner until received, either in the form of annuity income payments as contemplated by the Contract or in some other form of distribution. However, this rule applies only if: (1) the investments of the Variable Account are “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Department regulations; (2) the Company, rather than the Contract Owner, is considered the owner of the assets of the Variable Account for federal income tax purposes; (3) the Contract Owner is an individual (or an individual is treated as the Contract Owner for tax purposes); and (4) the Contract’s Annuity Date is not unduly delayed.

Diversification Requirements

The Code and Treasury Department regulations prescribe the manner in which the investments of a segregated asset account, such as the Variable Account, are to be “adequately diversified.” If the Variable Account fails to comply with these rules, the Contract will not be treated as an annuity Contract for federal income tax purposes, and so the interest or earnings credited to the Contract's Accumulated Value in any year will be includible in the Contract Owner's income that year for federal tax purposes. We expect that the Variable Account, through the Fund, will comply with these rules.

Ownership Treatment

In certain circumstances, variable annuity Contract Owners may be considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the assets of a segregated asset account used to support their Contracts. In those circumstances, the account’s income and gains would be currently includible in the Contract Owners’ gross income. The Internal Revenue

Service (the “IRS”) has stated in published rulings that a variable Contract Owner will be considered the owner of the assets of a segregated asset account if the owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets.

The ownership rights under the Contract are similar to, but different in certain respects from, the ownership rights described in IRS rulings in which the Contract Owners were determined not to be the owners of the assets of a segregated asset account. For example, the Contract Owner has the choice of more investment options to which to allocate premium payments and the Accumulated Value than were addressed in those rulings These differences could result in the Contract Owner being treated as the owner of all or a portion of the assets of the Variable Account and thus subject to current taxation on the income and gains from those assets. In addition, we do not know what standards will be set forth in any further regulations or rulings which the Treasury Department or the IRS may issue. We therefore reserve the right to modify the Contract as necessary to attempt to prevent Contract Owners from being considered the owners of the assets of the Variable Account. However, there is no assurance that such efforts would be successful.

Contracts Not Owned by Individuals

As a general rule, Contracts held by “non-natural persons” such as a corporation, trust, or other similar entity are not treated as annuity Contracts for federal tax purposes. The income on such Contracts (as defined in the tax law) is taxed as ordinary income that is received or accrued by the Contract Owner during the taxable year. However, this rule generally will not apply to a Contract held by a trust or other entity which holds the Contract as an agent for a natural person. In addition, this rule will not apply to: (1) a Contract acquired by the estate of a decedent by reason of the death of the decedent; (2) Contracts used in connection with certain Qualified Plans; (3) Contracts purchased by employers upon the termination of certain Qualified Plans; (4) certain Contracts used in connection with structured settlement agreements; and (5) a Contract purchased with a single premium payment when the annuity starting date is no later than one year from the purchase of the Contract and substantially equal periodic payments are made, not less frequently than annually, during the annuity income period.

The remainder of this discussion assumes that the Contract will be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes.

Taxation of Partial and Full Surrenders

In the case of a partial surrender, the amount received is generally includible in income for federal tax purposes to the extent that the Accumulated Value of the Contract, before the partial surrender, exceeds the “investment in the Contract.” In the case of a full surrender, the amount received is includible in income to the extent that it exceeds the investment in the Contract. For these purposes, the investment in the Contract at any time equals the total of the premium payments made under the Contract up to that time less any amounts previously received from the Contract which were excludable from income. All amounts includible in income with respect to the Contract are taxed as ordinary income; no amounts are taxed at the lower rates currently applicable to long-term capital gains and corporate dividends.

Taxation of Annuity Income Payments

Normally, the portion of each annuity income payment includible in income for federal tax purposes is the excess of the payment over an exclusion amount. In the case of fixed income payments, the exclusion amount is determined by multiplying (1) the payment, by (2) the ratio of the investment in the Contract allocated to our Fixed Account, adjusted for any period certain or refund feature, to the total expected amount of annuity income payments. For this purpose, the expected number or amount of annuity income payments is determined by Treasury Department regulations which take into account the Annuitant’s life expectancy and the form of annuity benefit selected.

Once the total amount of the investment in the Contract is excluded using the above formulas, annuity income payments will be fully taxable. If annuity income payments cease because of the death of the Annuitant and before the total amount of the investment in the Contract is recovered, the unrecovered amount generally will be allowed as a deduction.

Income from annuities will be subject to the Medicare Tax on Investment Income. This tax will be imposed on individuals with a modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) of more than $200,000 and joint filers with an MAGI of more than $250,000. Generally, the tax rate will be 3.8% of the lesser of the net investment income or the amount the MAGI exceeds the threshold amount.

There may be special income tax issues present in situations where the Contract Owner and the Annuitant are not the same person and are not married to one another. In such situations a tax advisor should be consulted.

Tax Treatment of Death Benefit

Prior to the Annuity Date, we may distribute amounts from a Contract because of the death of a Contract Owner or, in certain circumstances, the death of the Annuitant. If distributed in a lump sum, such Death Benefit proceeds are includible in income in the same manner as a full surrender, or if distributed under an annuity income option, such proceeds are includible in the same manner as annuity income payments.

After the Annuity Date, where a guaranteed period exists under a life income option and the Annuitant dies before the end of that period, payments made to the beneficiary for the remainder of that period are includible in income as follows: (1) if received in a lump sum, the payment is includible to the extent that it exceeds the unrecovered investment in the Contract; or (2) if distributed in accordance with the existing annuity income option, they are fully excluded from income until the remaining investment in the Contract is deemed to be recovered, and all payments thereafter are fully includible in income.

Assignments, Pledges, and Gratuitous Transfers

Any assignment or pledge of (or agreement to assign or pledge) any portion of the Accumulated Value of the Contract is treated for federal income tax purposes as a surrender of such amount or portion. The investment in the Contract is increased by the amount includible in income with respect to such an assignment or pledge. If a Contract Owner transfers a Contract without adequate consideration to a person other than the Contract Owner’s Spouse (or a former Spouse incident to divorce), the Contract Owner must include in income the difference between the Contract’s Accumulated Value and the investment in the Contract at the time of the transfer. In such a case, the transferee’s investment in the Contract is increased to reflect the amount includible in the transferor’s income.

Penalty Tax on Premature Distributions

Withdrawals (whether partial or full) and Annuity Payments taken before age 59 1∕2 may be subject to an additional 10% federal tax penalty. However, this penalty tax does not apply to any distribution: (1) received on or after the Contract Owner attains age 59 1∕2; (2) the Contract Owner becoming disabled (as defined in Section 2(m)(7) of the tax law); (3) made on or after the death of the Contract Owner or, if the Contract Owner is not an individual, on or after the death of the primary annuitant (as defined in the tax law); (4) that is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments, not less frequently than annually, for the life or life expectancy of the Contract Owner or for the joint lives of the Contract Owner and federally recognized spouse. For the purposes of substantially equal periodic payments, if there is a significant modification of the payment schedule before the later of the taxpayer reaching age 591⁄2 or the expiration of five years from the time the payment starts, the taxpayer’s income shall be increased by the amount of tax and deferred interest that otherwise would have been incurred.

There are additional exceptions that can help you avoid the 10% federal tax penalty. It is important to consult your tax adviser to understand these exceptions and the specific requirements and limitations for each one.

Aggregation of Contracts

In certain circumstances, the IRS may determine the amount of any distribution from the Contract that is includible in income by combining some or all of the annuity contracts a person owns. For example, if a person purchases a Contract and also purchases at approximately the same time another deferred annuity issued by us, the IRS may treat the two contracts as one contract. Similarly, if a person transfers part of his or her interest in one annuity contract to purchase another annuity contract, the IRS might treat the two contracts as one contract. In addition, if a person purchases two or

more contracts from us (or an affiliate) during any calendar year, all such contracts will be treated as one contract for purposes of determining the amount of any full or partial surrender that is includible in income. The effects of such aggregation are not always clear; however, such aggregation could affect the amount of a surrender or an annuity payment that is taxable and the amount which might be subject to the 10% penalty tax described above.

Exchanges of Annuity Contracts

We may issue the Contract in exchange for all or part of another annuity contract. Such an exchange will be income tax free if certain requirements are satisfied (a 1035 Exchange). If the exchange is tax free, the investment in the Contract immediately after the exchange will generally be the same as that of the annuity contract exchanged, increased by any additional premium payment made as part of the exchange. If part of an existing contract is exchanged for the Contract, the IRS might treat the two contracts as one annuity contract in certain circumstances. See Aggregation of Contracts. You should consult your tax advisor in connection with an exchange of all or part of an annuity contract for the Contract.

Qualified Plans

The Contracts also are designed for use with several types of Qualified Plans. When used in Qualified Plans, deferred annuities like the Contracts do not offer additional tax-deferral benefits, but annuities offer other product benefits to investors in Qualified Plans. Participants under such Qualified Plans as well as Contract Owners, Annuitants, and beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under such Qualified Plans may be subject to the terms and conditions of the plans themselves regardless of the terms and conditions of the Contracts issued in connection with them.

The tax rules applicable to Qualified Plans, and to a Contract when used in connection with a Qualified Plan, vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself, and they take precedence over the general annuity tax rules described above. For example, for full surrenders, partial surrenders, and annuity income payments under Contracts used in Qualified Plans, there may be no “investment in the contract,” with the result that the total amount received may be includible in income. The includible amount is taxed at ordinary income tax rates, and a 10% penalty tax also may apply. Exceptions to this penalty tax vary depending on the type of Qualified Plan involved; in the case of an Individual Retirement Annuity (discussed below), exceptions comparable to those described above are available.

The following briefly describes certain types of Qualified Plans in connection with which we may issue a Contract.

Traditional IRAs. Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an Individual Retirement Account or an Individual Retirement Annuity (collectively known as an “IRA”). IRAs are subject to limits on the amounts that may be contributed and deducted, on the persons who may be eligible to do so, and on the time when distributions may commence (required minimum distributions – “RMDs”). Also, you may “roll over” distributions from certain Qualified Plans on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA.

Roth IRAs. Section 408A of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to a type of IRA known as a “Roth IRA.” Roth IRAs are generally subject to the same rules as non-Roth IRAs, but differ in several respects. Among the differences is that, although contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible, “qualified distributions” (those that satisfy certain waiting and use requirements) from a Roth IRA will be excludable from income. Subject to certain restrictions, a distribution from an eligible employer-sponsored qualified plan may be directly moved to a Roth IRA. This movement is called a “qualified rollover contribution.”

Section 403(b) Plans. Section 403(b) of the Code permits public school employees and employees of certain types of charitable, educational, and scientific organizations to have their employers purchase annuity Contracts for them and, subject to certain limitations, to exclude the amount of premium payments from income for federal tax purposes. Subject to plan provisions, distributions from a Contract purchased under section 403(b) may be paid only when the employee reaches age 59 1∕2, separates from service, dies, or becomes disabled, the 403(b) plan terminates, or in the case of financial hardship. As a result, the Contract Owner will not be entitled to exercise surrender rights described above under

the heading Surrenders and Withdrawals unless one of the above conditions is satisfied. For contracts maintained pursuant to an employer sponsored 403(b) plan, we may require the employer’s signature to process any requests for withdrawal, surrender, rollover or transfers to another contract.

Direct Rollovers

If your Contract is purchased under section 403(b) of the Code or is used in connection with certain other Qualified Plans, any “eligible rollover distribution” from the Contract will be subject to direct rollover and mandatory withholding requirements. An eligible rollover distribution generally is any taxable distribution from certain Qualified Plans (including from a Contract purchased under section 403(b)) excluding amounts such as minimum distributions required under the Code. Under these requirements, federal income tax equal to 20% of the eligible rollover distribution will be withheld from the amount of the distribution. Unlike withholding on certain other amounts distributed from the Contract, discussed below, the Contract Owner cannot elect out of withholding with respect to an eligible rollover distribution. However, this 20% withholding will not apply if the distribution is directly rolled over to an IRA or to another eligible retirement plan.

Federal Income Tax Withholding

We will withhold and remit to the federal government a part of the taxable portion of each distribution made under a Contract unless the Owner notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects not to have any amounts withheld. In certain circumstances, we may be required to withhold tax. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of annuity income payments (other than eligible rollover distributions made in connection with Qualified Plans) are the same as the withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. Further, a 10% withholding rate applies to the taxable portion of non-periodic payments (including partial and full surrenders), and as discussed above, the withholding rate applicable to eligible rollover distributions is 20%. Whether or not federal income tax is withheld, the Contract Owner (or other applicable taxpayer) remains liable for payment of federal income tax on Contract distributions.

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

Opinions

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (the “Company”), which comprise the statutory-basis statements of assets, liabilities and surplus as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, of surplus, and of cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

Unmodified Opinion on Statutory Basis of Accounting

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets, liabilities and surplus of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance described in Note 1.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

In our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles section of our report, the accompanying financial statements do not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, or the results of its operations or its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the financial statements are prepared by the Company on the basis of the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The effects on the financial statements of the variances between the statutory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.

F-1

Report of Independent Auditors, continued

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. Management is also responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with US GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

In performing an audit in accordance with US GAAS, we:

•

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

•

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

•

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

•

Notes to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023

1. Nature Of Operations And Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans (“Thrivent”) is a fraternal benefit society that provides life insurance, retirement products, disability income, long-term care insurance and Medicare supplement insurance to members. Thrivent is licensed to conduct business throughout the United States and distributes products to members primarily through a network of career financial representatives. Thrivent’s members are offered additional financial products and services, such as investment funds and trust services, through subsidiaries and affiliates.

Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying statutory-basis financial statements have been prepared in accordance with statutory accounting practices (“SAP”) prescribed or permitted by the State of Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. Thrivent has no prescribed or permitted practices.

The State of Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance recognizes only SAP for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of a fraternal benefit society in order to determine its solvency under Wisconsin’s Insurance Laws. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ (“NAIC”) Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (“NAIC SAP”) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Wisconsin. NAIC SAP is comprised of the Preamble, the Statements of Statutory Accounting Principles (“SSAP”), and Appendices.

The significant accounting practices used in preparation of the statutory-basis financial statements are summarized as follows:

Investments

Bonds: Bonds are generally carried at amortized cost, depending on the nature of the security and as prescribed by NAIC guidelines. Discounts or premiums on bonds are amortized over the term of the securities using the modified scientific method. Interest income is recognized when earned. Bond exchange traded funds (“ETFs”) on the Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) Identified Funds list are stated using the fair value measurement method.

Stocks: Common stocks of unaffiliated companies are stated at fair value. Common stocks of unconsolidated subsidiaries are carried at the stock’s equity basis. Investments in mutual funds are carried at net asset value (“NAV”). Preferred stocks are carried at market value or amortized cost depending on the preferred stock's convertible characteristics and NAIC subgroup. Issues rated not in good standing are reported at lower of amortized cost or fair market value. Redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized costs unless they have an NAIC designation of 4, 5, or 6 which are reported at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Perpetual preferred stocks are reported at fair value, not to exceed the current call price for the stock.

Mortgage Loans: Mortgage loans are generally carried at unpaid principal balances less valuation adjustments. Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance using the loan’s contractual interest rate. There are currently no mortgage loans with a discount or premium. Interest income and amortization of premiums and discounts are recorded as a component of net investment income along with prepayment fees and mortgage loan fees.

1. Nature Of Operations And Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Real Estate: Home office real estate is valued at original cost, plus capital expenditures less accumulated depreciation and encumbrances. Depreciation expense is determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the properties. Real estate expected to be disposed is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

Cash, Cash equivalents and Short-term Investments: Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits, highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less and investments in money market mutual funds. Demand deposits and highly liquid investments are carried at amortized cost while investments in money market mutual funds are carried at fair value. Short-term investments have contractual maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition. Included in short-term investments are commercial paper and agency notes, which are carried at amortized cost.

Contract Loans: Contract loans are generally carried at the loans’ aggregate unpaid balances. Contract loans are collateralized by the cash surrender value of the associated insurance contracts.

Limited Partnerships: Limited partnerships consist primarily of equity limited partnerships which are generally valued using NAV as a practical expedient. For distributions received, income is recognized to the extent they do not exceed undistributed earnings. Distributions received in excess of undistributed earnings are recorded as a return of capital.

Other Invested Assets: Other invested assets include residual tranches, non-collateral loans, and surplus notes. Residual tranches are carried at either the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Interest income on residual tranches is recorded under the effective yield method using the Allowable Earned Yield, capped by the amount of cash distributions received. Non-collateral loans and surplus notes are carried at amortized cost.

Derivatives: Derivatives consist primarily of mortgage dollar rolls, call spread options, foreign currency swaps, and futures and are primarily carried at fair value. Thrivent uses a mortgage dollar roll program to enhance the yield on the mortgage-backed security (“MBS”) portfolio. Mortgage dollar rolls are transactions whereby Thrivent sells an MBS to a counterparty and subsequently enters into a commitment to purchase another MBS security at a later date. Thrivent’s mortgage dollar roll program generally includes a series of mortgage dollar rolls extending for more than a year. Thrivent had $509 million and $161 million in the mortgage dollar roll program as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Mortgage dollar rolls are reported as bonds in 2024 within the Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Surplus. As a result of the adoption of an accounting pronouncement in 2025, mortgage dollar rolls are now reported as derivatives in 2025. Given this reclassification, derivatives are reported separately in the Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Surplus. Certain prior period amounts related to derivatives have been reclassified from other invested assets to derivatives.

Securities Lending: Securities loaned under Thrivent’s securities lending agreement are carried at amortized cost or fair value, depending on the nature of the security and as prescribed by NAIC guidelines. Thrivent generally receives cash collateral in an amount that is in excess of the market value of the securities loaned, and the cash collateral is invested in highly-liquid, highly rated securities which are included in bonds and cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. A liability is also recognized for the amount of the collateral. Market values of securities loaned and corresponding collateral are monitored daily, and additional collateral is obtained as necessary. Thrivent requires a minimum level of collateral to be held for loaned securities.

Offsetting Assets and Liabilities: Thrivent presents securities lending agreements and derivatives on a gross basis in the statutory-basis financial statements.

Unrealized Investment Gains and Losses: Unrealized investment gains and losses include changes in fair value of bonds, unaffiliated stocks, affiliated common stocks, affiliated mutual funds, ETFs, limited partnerships, derivatives and other invested assets and are reported as a direct increase or decrease to surplus.

Realized Capital Gains and Losses: Realized capital gains and losses on sales of investments are determined using the specific identification method for bonds and average cost method for stocks.

Thrivent’s investments are periodically reviewed, and those securities where the current fair value is less than amortized cost are evaluated for indicators that show the decline in value is other-than-temporary. The review includes an evaluation of each security issuer’s creditworthiness, such as the ability to generate operating cash flow while remaining current on all debt obligations, and any changes in credit ratings from third party agencies. Other factors include the severity and duration of the unrealized loss, Thrivent’s ability to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the debt security and Thrivent’s ability and intent to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in the market.

The potential need to sell securities in an unrealized loss position which have no other indications of other-than-temporary impairment is evaluated based on the current market environment, near-term and long-term asset liability management strategies and target allocation strategies for various asset classes. Generally, Thrivent has the ability and intent to hold securities in an unrealized loss position for a period of time sufficient for the security to recover in value. Investments that are determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired are written down, primarily to fair value, and the write-down is included in realized capital gains and losses in the Statutory-Basis Statements of Operations. If, in response to changed conditions in the capital markets, Thrivent decides to sell a security in an unrealized loss position, a realized loss is recognized in the period that the decision is made to sell that security.

Certain realized capital gains and losses on fixed income securities sold prior to maturity are transferred to the interest maintenance reserve (“IMR”).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments: In estimating the fair values for financial instruments, the significance of observable and unobservable inputs used to determine fair value is taken into consideration. Each of the financial instruments has been classified into one of three categories based on the evaluation. A Level 1 financial instrument is valued using quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. A Level 2 financial instrument is valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets that are accessible, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-derived valuations where the significant value driver inputs are observable. A Level 3 financial instrument is valued using significant inputs that are unobservable.

Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities represent funds that are separately administered for variable annuity and variable life contracts, for which the contract holder, rather than Thrivent bears the investment risk. Fees charged on separate account contract holder account value, include mortality and expense charges, rider fees, and advisor fees and are recognized when due. Separate account assets, which consist of investment funds, are carried at fair value based on published NAVs and include the value of seed money. Separate account liability values are not guaranteed to the contract holder; however, general account reserves include provisions for the

guaranteed minimum death and living benefits contained in the contracts. Reserve assumptions for these benefits are discussed in the Aggregate Reserves for Life, Annuity and Health Contracts section.

Aggregate Reserves for Life, Annuity and Health Contracts

Reserves for life contracts issued prior to 2020 are calculated primarily using the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method generally based upon the 1941, 1958, 1980, 2001, and 2017 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary and American Experience Mortality Tables with assumed interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 5.5%. Reserves on contracts issued on a substandard basis are valued using the valuation mortality rates for the substandard rating. Reserves for life contracts issued on or after January 1, 2020 and Term Life contracts issued from January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2019, are calculated using the Principles-Based Reserve (PBR) approach described in VM-20. The reserve held is the greatest of two model-based reserve calculations and a formulaic calculation called the Net Premium Reserve (“NPR”).

Reserves for fixed annuities, supplementary contracts with life contingencies and other benefits are computed using recognized and accepted mortality tables and methods, which equal or exceed the minimum reserves calculated under the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method. Fixed indexed annuity reserves are calculated according to the Black-Scholes Projection Method described in Actuarial Guideline 35. Reserves for variable annuities with guaranteed death and living benefits, regardless of issue date, are computed on an aggregate basis using the requirements specified in VM-21, including assumptions for guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits. This approach uses the greatest of two stochastic modeling approaches (company prudent assumptions or industry prescribed assumptions) but is never less than the cash surrender value floor.

Accident and health contract reserves are generally calculated using the two-year preliminary term, one-year preliminary term and the net level premium methods based upon various morbidity tables. In addition, for long-term care and disability income products, a premium deficiency reserve is held to the extent future premiums and current reserves are less than the value of future expected claim payments and expenses.

The reserve assumptions inherent in these approaches are designed to be sufficient to provide for all contractual benefits. Thrivent waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon the death of insureds and returns any portion of the final premium beyond the date of death. Surrender values are not promised in excess of the legally computed reserves.

Deposit Liabilities

Deposit liabilities have been established on certain annuity and supplemental contracts, as well as funding agreements issued to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago (“FHLB”), that do not subject Thrivent to mortality and morbidity risk. Changes in future benefits on these deposit-type contracts are classified as deposit-type transactions and thereby excluded from net additions to contract reserves.

Contract Claims

Claim liabilities are established in amounts estimated to cover incurred claims. These liabilities are based on individual case estimates for reported claims and estimates of unreported claims based on past experience.

F-11

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

Notes to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements, continued

1. Nature Of Operations And Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Interest Maintenance Reserve

Thrivent is required to maintain an IMR which is primarily used to defer certain realized capital gains and losses on fixed income investments as prescribed by the NAIC in SSAP No. 7. (Asset Valuation Reserve and Interest Maintenance Reserve). Net realized capital gains and losses deferred to IMR are amortized into investment income over the estimated remaining term to maturity of the investment sold.

Asset Valuation Reserve

Thrivent is required to maintain an asset valuation reserve (“AVR”), which is a liability calculated using a formula prescribed by the NAIC in SSAP No. 7. The AVR is a general provision for future potential losses in the value of investments, unrelated to changes in interest rates. Increases or decreases in the AVR are reported as direct adjustments to surplus in the Statutory-Basis Statements of Surplus.

Borrowed Money

Borrowed money represents advances from Federal Home Loan Bank. The liability is primarily carried at an amount equal to unpaid principal balance, including accrued interest, net of unamortized discount or premium.

Premiums and Considerations

Traditional life insurance premiums are recognized as revenue when due. Variable life, universal life, annuity premiums and considerations of supplemental contracts with life contingencies are recognized when received. Health insurance premiums are recognized pro rata over the terms of the policies. Thrivent presents the impact of internal (1035 exchanges) on a net basis within the Summary of Operations.

Fraternal Benefits and Expenses

Fraternal benefits and expenses include all fraternal activities and expenses incurred to provide or administer fraternal benefits and programs related to Thrivent’s fraternal charter. This includes activities and costs necessary to maintain Thrivent’s fraternal lodge system. Thrivent conducts fraternal activities primarily through a lodge system where members participate in locally sponsored fraternal activities. Lodge activities are designed to create an opportunity for impact via social, intellectual, educational, charitable, benevolent, moral, fraternal, patriotic or religious purposes for the benefit of members and the public and are supported through a variety of lodge programs and services.

Dividends to Members

The majority of Thrivent’s insurance products are participating in nature. Dividends on these policies to be paid to members in the subsequent 12 months are reflected in the Statutory-Basis Statements of Operations for the current year. Dividends are not currently being paid on most health insurance nor annuity contracts. Dividend scales are approved annually by Thrivent’s Board of Directors.

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

Notes to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements, continued

Income Taxes

Thrivent, as a fraternal benefit society, qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, income earned by Thrivent is generally exempt from taxation; therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded. Thrivent may pay income taxes on certain unrelated business activity such as debt-financed income.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of Thrivent have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Differences between GAAP financial statements and statutory-basis financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, have not been quantified but are presumed to be material.

The following describes the more significant statutory accounting policies that are different from GAAP accounting policies:

Bonds and Preferred Stocks: For GAAP purposes, investments in bonds and preferred stocks are reported at fair value with the change in fair value reported as a separate component of comprehensive income for available-for-sale securities and reported as realized gains or losses for trading securities.

Common Stocks: For GAAP purposes, investments in common stocks are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of net income.

Limited Partnerships: For GAAP purposes, the equity method reports the change in the equity value of the limited partnerships through earnings as a component of net investment income.

Acquisition Costs: For GAAP purposes, costs incurred that are directly related to the successful acquisition and issuance of new or renewal insurance contracts are deferred to the extent such costs are deemed recoverable from future profits and amortized on a constant level basis.

Contract Liabilities: For GAAP purposes, liabilities for future contract benefits and expenses are estimated based on expected experience or actual account balances.

Non-Admitted Assets: For GAAP purposes, certain assets, primarily furniture, equipment, receivables over 90 days old, values of certain entities and equity-method investments where audits are not performed, overfunded plan assets on qualified benefit plans and agents’ debit balances, are not charged directly to equity and are not excluded from the balance sheet.

Interest Maintenance Reserve: For GAAP purposes, an IMR is not maintained.

Asset Valuation Reserve: For GAAP purposes, an AVR is not maintained.

Premiums and Withdrawals: For GAAP purposes, funds deposited and withdrawn on universal life and investment-type contracts are not recorded in the income statement.

F-13

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

Notes to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements, continued

1. Nature Of Operations And Significant Accounting Policies, continued

Consolidation: For GAAP purposes, controlled subsidiaries are consolidated into the results of their parent.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with SAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the statutory-basis financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant estimates relate to fair values of investments, reserves for life, health and annuity contracts and pension and other retirement benefit liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Guidance

In 2025, Thrivent adopted revisions to SSAP No. 26 (Bonds) and SSAP No. 43 (Asset-Backed Securities) for the principles-based bond definition, which included consideration of factors to determine whether certain investments qualify for reporting on the statutory financial statements as a bond. Additionally, the guidance revised SSAP No. 2 (Cash, Cash Equivalents, Drafts, and Short-Term Investments) to preclude asset-backed securities, mortgage loans and other invested assets from being reported as cash equivalents or short-term investments. The guidance is effective beginning January 1, 2025 and did not have a material impact on Thrivent’s financial statements.

In 2025, Thrivent adopted updated guidance for residual tranches under SSAP No. 21 (Other Admitted Assets). Unrealized gains or losses as of December 31, 2024, were recognized as realized, with the market value becoming the January 1, 2025 cost basis. Interest income must follow the effective yield method using Allowable Earned Yield (AEY), capped by cash distributions. Thrivent reported a net realized gain of $15 million upon adoption.

In 2025, Thrivent adopted revisions to SSAP No. 43 (Asset-Backed Securities) that allow use of either prospective or retrospective methods for adjusting cash flows and prepayment assumptions. Thrivent elected the prospective method for all asset-backed securities effective January 1, 2025, with no impact to surplus.

In 2023, Thrivent adopted modifications to SSAP No. 34 (Investment Income Due and Accrued). The key revisions include adding new disclosures for Aggregate Deferred Interest and Paid-In-Kind (PIK) interest. The guidance is effective beginning December 31, 2023 and did not have a material impact on Thrivent’s financial statements.

Prior Year Adjustment

During 2023, Thrivent identified an adjustment impacting the beginning of year surplus balance related to deferred annuity contracts. As a result, reserves were decreased and surplus was increased by $40 million. Thrivent reported an increase to opening surplus of $40 million in 2023.

Subsequent Events

Thrivent evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred after the Statutory-Basis Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Surplus date for potential recognition or disclosure through February 13, 2026, the date the statutory-basis financial statements were available to be issued. There were no subsequent events or transactions which required recognition for disclosure.

Thrivent invests in mortgage loans that principally involve commercial real estate consisting of first mortgage liens on completed income-producing properties. The carrying value of mortgage loans was $11.0 billion and $10.9 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. There was no allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025 or 2024.

Thrivent requires that all properties subject to mortgage loans have fire insurance at least equal to the value of the property.

Impaired loans

A loan is determined to be impaired when it is considered probable that the principal and interest will not be collected according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Thrivent held impaired loans with carrying values of $26 million and $26 million, and unpaid principal balances of $33 million and $32 million for which there was no related allowance for credit losses recorded, respectively.

Any payments received on impaired loans are either applied against the principal or reported as net investment income, based on an assessment as to the collectability of the principal. Interest income on impaired loans that are delinquent are recognized upon receipt.

After loans become 180 days delinquent on principal or interest payments, or if the loans have been determined to be impaired, any accrued but uncollectible interest on the mortgage loans is non-admitted and charged to surplus in the period in which the loans are determined to be impaired. Generally, only after the loans become less than 180 days delinquent from the contractual due date will accrued interest be returned to admitted status. The amount of impairments included in realized capital losses due to debt restructuring was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2025, $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and $8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The average recorded investment in impaired mortgage loans was $13 million and $26 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Interest income recognized on impaired mortgage loans was $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

In certain circumstances, Thrivent may restructure the terms of a troubled loan to maximize the collection of amounts due. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Thrivent restructured three loans with a carrying value of $27 million and three loans with a carrying value of $10 million, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, Thrivent held ten mortgage loans with a carrying value of $43 million and eight loans with a carrying value of $18 million, where loan restructures had occurred and the loans were in good standing, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the ten restructured mortgage loans had no payment defaults after modifications. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the eight restructured mortgage loans had no payment defaults after modifications.

During the year ended December 31, 2025 there were no mortgage loans derecognized as a result of foreclosure. In 2024, there was one mortgage loan with a carrying value of $16 million that was derecognized as a result of foreclosure.

Real Estate

Thrivent owns home office properties and held-for-sale properties. Held-for-sale properties are determined to be impaired when it is probable that the current book value plus costs to sell are greater than the fair market value of the property.

The components of real estate investments as of December 31 were as follows (in millions):

In 2025, Thrivent contributed a property to Thrivent Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) with a book value of $2 million. In 2024, Thrivent reclassified a corporate office building as held-for-sale. This property had a book value of $24 million and was impaired by $24 million to a book value of $0 in December 2024. In November 2024, Thrivent sold a portion of land for a cash payment of less than $1 million and recorded a realized gain of less than $1 million on the sale.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Thrivent uses derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to manage investment risks, to reduce interest rate and duration imbalances determined in asset/liability analyses, and to offset risks associated with the guaranteed living benefits features of certain variable annuity products. The following table summarizes the carrying values, which primarily equal fair values, and the notional amounts of Thrivent’s derivative financial instruments (in millions):

Futures	—	929	—
Foreign currency swaps	(1 )	78	1
Covered written call options	—	—	1
Total liabilities	$(82 )	$2,238	$(170 )

All gains and losses on derivatives are reflected in realized capital gains and losses in the statutory-basis financial statements except foreign currency swaps which are reflected in net investment income. Notional amounts do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties and therefore are not a measure of Thrivent’s exposure. The settlement amounts exchanged are calculated based on the notional amounts and the other terms of the instruments, such as interest rates, exchange rates, security prices or financial and other indices.

Call Spread Options

Thrivent uses over-the-counter S&P 500 index call spread options (i.e. buying call options and selling cap call options) to manage risks associated with fixed indexed annuities. Purchased call spread options are reported at fair value in derivatives and written call spread options are reported at fair value in derivatives. The changes in the fair value of the call spread options are recorded in unrealized gains and losses.

Covered Written Call Options

Thrivent sells covered written call option contracts to enhance the return on residential mortgage-backed “To Be Announced” collateral that Thrivent owns. The premium received for these call options is recorded in other liabilities at book value at each reporting period. All positions in these contracts are settled at month end. Upon disposition of the options, the gains are recorded as a component of realized capital gains and losses. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, $2 million, less than $1 million and $0, respectively, was received in call premium.

Futures

Thrivent utilizes futures contracts to manage a portion of the risks associated with the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit feature of variable annuity products and to manage foreign equity risk. Cash paid for the futures contracts is recorded in derivatives. The futures contracts are valued at fair value at each reporting period. The daily change in fair value from the contracts variation margin is recognized in unrealized gains and losses until the contract is closed and/or otherwise expired. Realized gains and losses are recognized when the contract is closed and/or otherwise expired.

Foreign Currency Swaps

Thrivent utilizes foreign currency swaps to manage the risk associated with changes in the exchange rate of foreign currency to U.S. dollar payments for foreign denominated bonds. The swaps are reported at fair value with the change in the fair value recognized in unrealized gains and losses. Realized capital gains and losses are recognized upon settlement of the swap. No cash is exchanged at the outset of the swaps, and interest payments received are recorded as a component of net investment income.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls

Thrivent utilizes “To Be Announced” (“TBA”) forward contracts within the Agency-backed mortgage-backed securities market to optimize yield and manage liquidity in an efficient way. Additionally, Thrivent employs a dollar roll strategy with TBA contracts where TBAs are sold to counterparties with a commitment to buy a substantially similar security at a later settlement date.

Wash Sales

In the normal course of Thrivent’s investment management activities, securities are periodically sold and repurchased within 30 days of the sale date to enhance total return on the investment portfolio. At December 31, 2025, Thrivent completed 27 transactions, selling 23 securities with a book value totaling $3 million where the cost to repurchase within 30 days totaled $4 million. The net gain for securities sold and later repurchased totaled less than $0 million. At December 31, 2024, Thrivent completed 36 transactions, selling 31 securities with a book value totaling $2 million where the cost to repurchase within 30 days totaled $3 million. The net gain for securities sold and later repurchased totaled less than $1 million.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Thrivent has a tri-party reverse repurchase agreement (“repo”) to purchase and resell short-term securities. The securities are classified as an NAIC designation of 1 and the maturity of the securities is three months to one year with a carrying value and fair value of $0 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Thrivent is not permitted to sell or repledge these securities. The purchased securities are included in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the accompanying Statutory-Basis Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Surplus. Thrivent received cash as collateral, having a fair value at least equal to 102% of the purchase price paid for the securities and Thrivent’s designated custodian takes possession of the collateral. The collateral is not recorded in Thrivent’s financial statements.

Federal Home Loan Bank Agreements

FHLB membership requires an initial purchase of membership stock and gives Thrivent access to low-cost funding. Thrivent held membership stock of $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and activity-based stock of $91 million and $90 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Any excess activity-based stock is periodically converted to membership stock by the FHLB. Thrivent’s strategy is to utilize funds from the FHLB to optimize liquidity and for spread investment purposes. Additional FHLB activity-based stock purchases are required based upon the amount of funding agreements from the FHLB. Thrivent is required to post acceptable forms of collateral for any funding agreements from the FHLB. In the event of default, the FHLB’s recovery on the collateral is limited to the amount of Thrivent’s outstanding liability to the FHLB. FHLB activity is limited to the general account. As of December 31, 2025, Thrivent has an internally approved maximum borrowing capacity for the FHLB of $6 billion. Thrivent has an unused commitment amount of $4 billion for long-term contracts terminating in more than 12 months. Thrivent established this limit in accordance with its overall risk management process. As of December 31, 2025, Thrivent has a standby letter of credit agreement with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago in the amount of $85 million.

Interest accrues as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 at a weighted average rate of 3.9% and 4.5%, respectively. Interest paid in 2025 and 2024 was $86 million and $89 million, respectively. The outstanding deposit liabilities of $2.0 billion as of December 31, 2025 have scheduled maturity dates through 2028 and Thrivent has the discretion to roll those maturities into future borrowings or funding agreements.

Proceeds from the sale of investments in bonds were $8.8 billion, $7.3 billion and $5.1 billion for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Thrivent recognized other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) during the year ended December 31, 2025 on asset-backed securities where the present value of cash flows expected to be collected was less than the amortized cost basis of the security. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the amortized cost basis for these securities, prior to any current-period OTTI was $37 million. The OTTI recognized in earnings as a realized loss totaled $1 million. The fair value of the securities as of the date impaired totaled $31 million. The amortized cost basis after the current-period impairment totaled $36 million. The remaining difference between fair value and amortized cost basis as of December 31, 2025 was not deemed to be OTTI.

Thrivent calculates premium deficiency reserves (PDR) for long-term care insurance policies. The PDR was zero as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additionally, in 2025 the claim incidence and claim termination assumptions were updated for the legacy business block.

Thrivent has insurance in force as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, totaling $2.0 billion and
$4.7 billion, respectively, where the gross premiums are less than the net premiums according to the standard valuation requirements set by the State of Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance. Reserves associated with these policies as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, totaled $9 million and $17 million, respectively.

Deferred and uncollected life insurance premiums and annuity considerations were as follows (in millions):

4. Separate Accounts

Thrivent administers and invests funds segregated into separate accounts for the exclusive benefit of variable annuity, variable immediate annuity and variable universal life contract holders. Variable life and variable annuity separate accounts of Thrivent are non-guaranteed, while Thrivent’s multi-year guarantee separate account is a non-indexed guaranteed account. Within the non-guaranteed separate account, all variable deferred annuity contracts contain guaranteed death benefits and some contain guaranteed living benefits. The following table presents the explicit risk charges paid by separate account contract holders for these guarantees and the amounts paid for guaranteed death benefits for the years ended December 31 (in millions):

5. Claims Liabilities

Activity in the liabilities for accident and health, long-term care and disability benefits, included in aggregate reserves for life, annuity, and health contracts and contract claims, as presented below (in millions):

	2025	2024

Paid Related to:
Current year	80	52
Prior years	300	310
Total paid	380	362
Net balance at December 31	$1,175	$1,186

Thrivent uses estimates for determining the liability for accident and health, long-term care and disability benefits, which are based on historical claim payment patterns, and attempts to provide for potential adverse changes in claim patterns and severity. Thrivent annually reviews the claim payment experience to evaluate the methodology and assumptions that are used in determining Thrivent’s estimate of ultimate claims experience.

6. Reinsurance

Thrivent participates in reinsurance in order to limit maximum losses and to diversify exposures. Life and accident and health reinsurance is accomplished through various plans of reinsurance, primarily coinsurance and yearly renewable term. For life insurance, Thrivent generally retains a maximum of $6 million for any single mortality risk. In 2022 Thrivent began ceding 80% of all Medicare Supplement business via a coinsurance agreement. In 2023 Thrivent entered into a yearly renewable term (YRT) agreement for indemnity reinsurance on newly issued disability insurance coverages.

Ceded balances would represent a liability of Thrivent in the event the reinsurers were unable to meet the obligations under the terms of the reinsurance agreements. Reinsurance contracts do not relieve an insurer from the contract’s primary obligation to policyholders.

Reinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, benefits and reserves related to reinsured long-duration contracts are accounted for over the life of the underlying reinsured contracts using assumptions consistent with those used to account for the underlying contracts. The cost of reinsurance related to short-duration contracts is accounted for over the reinsurance contract period. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in a manner consistent with the claim liabilities and policy benefits associated with the reinsured policies.

During 2022, Thrivent entered into a reinsurance agreement whereby certain Medicare supplement contracts were ceded to a third party. A gain of $39 million was recognized in other surplus funds and is being amortized over a five-year period.

The financial condition of Thrivent’s reinsurers and amounts recoverable are periodically reviewed in order to evaluate the financial strength of the companies supporting the recoverable balances. Two reinsurers account for approximately 73% and 74% of the reinsurance recoverable as of December 31, 2025, and 2024, respectively.

Thrivent has no covered policies where certain term life and universal life insurance policies (XXX/AXXX risks) are ceded in accordance with the Term and Universal Life Insurance Reserve Financing Model Regulation (MDL-787) or Actuarial Guideline 48 where the Model Regulation has not been adopted by a state in which Thrivent is licensed.

Thrivent has no reinsurance contracts with features that are subject to the disclosure requirements within SSAP No. 61 related to reinsurance credits.

7. Surplus

Thrivent is subject to certain risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of surplus maintained by a fraternal benefit society is to be determined based on various risk factors. Thrivent exceeds the RBC requirements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The deferred gain from the 2022 medical supplement reinsurance agreement is included in other surplus funds as of December 31, 2022. The amount was recognized into other surplus and is being amortized over a five-year period.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The financial instruments of Thrivent have been classified, for disclosure purposes, into categories based on the evaluation of the significance of observable and unobservable inputs used to determine fair value.

Fair Value Descriptions

Level 1 Financial Instruments

Level 1 financial instruments reported at fair value include certain bonds, certain unaffiliated common stocks, cash equivalents, certain derivatives, and exchange traded funds. Bonds, unaffiliated common stocks, and exchange traded funds are primarily valued using quoted prices in active markets. Cash equivalents consist of money market mutual funds whose fair value is based on the quoted daily net asset values of the invested funds.

Level 1 financial instruments not reported at fair value include certain bonds, which are priced based on quoted market prices, and include primarily U.S. Treasury bonds.

Level 2 Financial Instruments

Level 2 financial instruments reported at fair value include certain unaffiliated common stocks, other invested assets, and certain derivatives, and are valued based on market quotes where the financial instruments are not considered actively traded. Mutual funds are reported at fair value, which are based on net asset values from fund managers. The fair values for separate account assets are based on published daily net asset values of the funds in which the separate accounts are invested.

Level 2 financial instruments not reported at fair value includes certain bonds, certain unaffiliated common stocks, unaffiliated preferred stocks, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, other invested assets, liabilities related to separate accounts and other liabilities.

Bonds not reported at fair value are priced using a third–party pricing vendor and include certain corporate debt securities and asset-backed securities. Pricing from a third–party pricing vendor varies by asset class but generally includes inputs such as estimated cash flows, benchmark yields, reported trades, issuer spreads, bids, offers, credit quality, industry events and economic events. If Thrivent is unable to obtain a price from a third–party pricing vendor, management may obtain broker quotes or utilize an internal pricing model specific to the asset. The internal pricing models apply practices that are standard among the industry and utilize observable market data.

F-36

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans

Notes to Statutory-Basis Financial Statements, continued

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued

Fair values of unaffiliated common stocks not reported at fair value primarily consist of FHLB activity-based stock and are based on direct quotes from FHLB.

Fair values of unaffiliated preferred stocks not reported at fair value are based on market quotes where these securities are not considered actively traded.

Cash and cash equivalents not reported at fair value consist of demand deposit and highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity date of three months or less. Short-term investments not reported at fair value consist of investments in commercial paper and agency notes with contractual maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition. The carrying amounts for cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments approximate the fair values.

Other invested assets not reported at fair value include investments in surplus notes in which the fair values are based on quoted market prices.

The carrying amounts of liabilities related to separate accounts reflect the amounts in the separate account assets and approximate the fair values.

Certain derivative liabilities are reported at fair value and are derived from broker quotes.

Fair values on funding agreements from the FHLB (included in deposit liabilities), are equal to unpaid principal balance, including accrued interest, net of unamortized discount or premium.

Level 3 Financial Instruments

Level 3 financial instruments reported at fair value include other invested assets and certain derivatives. The fair value is determined using independent broker quotes.

Level 3 financial instruments not reported at fair value include certain bonds, unaffiliated preferred stocks, mortgage loans, real estate, contract loans, limited partnerships, other invested assets, deferred annuities, other deposit contracts and other liabilities.

Level 3 bonds not reported at fair value include private placement debt securities and convertible bonds. Private placement debt securities are valued using internal pricing models specific to the assets using unobservable inputs such as issuer spreads, estimated cash flows, internal credit ratings and volatility adjustments. Market comparable discount rates ranging from 1% to 8% are used as the base rate in the discounted cash flows used to determine the fair value of certain assets. Increases or decreases in the credit spreads on the comparable assets could cause the fair value of assets to significantly decrease or increase, respectively. Additionally, Thrivent may adjust the base discount rate or the modeled price by applying an illiquidity premium, given the highly structured nature of certain assets. Convertible bonds are valued using third party broker quotes to determine fair value.

Unaffiliated preferred stocks are valued using third-party broker quotes to determine fair value.

The fair values for mortgage loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on interest rates currently being offered for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

8. Fair Value of Financial Instruments, continued

The fair value of real estate properties held-for-sale is based on current market price assessments, current purchase agreements or market appraisals.

Contract loans are generally carried at the loans' aggregate unpaid balance which approximate the fair values.

Limited partnerships consist primarily of equity limited partnerships which are generally valued using NAV as a practical expedient.

Other invested assets primarily include residual tranches, non-collateral loans, and surplus notes. Residual tranches are carried at either the lower of amortized cost or fair value or the underlying audited equity of the investee. Non-collateral loans and surplus notes are carried at amortized cost.

Liabilities primarily include deferred annuities, other deposit contracts and certain derivatives. The fair values for deferred annuities and other deposit contracts, which include supplementary contracts without life contingencies, deferred income settlement options and refunds on deposit are estimated to be the cash surrender value payable upon immediate withdrawal. Derivatives fair values are derived from broker quotes.

During 2024, Thrivent transferred $34 million into Level 2 from Level 3 and $69 million into Level 3 from Level 2 for bonds and preferred stocks. There were no transfers between fair value levels for assets held at fair value. Transfers between fair value hierarchy levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

Valuation Assumptions

The results of the valuation methods presented in this footnote are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including discount rates and estimates of future cash flows. As a result, the derived fair value estimates, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the financial instruments. These fair values are for certain financial instruments of Thrivent; accordingly, the aggregate fair value

amounts presented do not represent the underlying values.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Factors

Thrivent periodically evaluates the long-term earned rate assumptions, taking into consideration historical performance of the plans’ assets as well as current asset diversification and investment strategy in determining the rate of return assumptions used in calculating the plans’ benefit expenses and obligation. Those assumptions are summarized in the table below.

	Pension Plan		Other Plans
	2025	2024	2025	2024
Weighted Average Assumptions:
Discount rate	5.4 %	5.7 %	5.4 %	5.7 %
Expected return on plan assets	6.8	6.8	N/A	N/A
Rate of compensation increase	4.8	4.8	N/A	N/A
Interest crediting rate	4.1	4.4	N/A	N/A

The assumed health care cost trend rate used in measuring the postretirement health care benefit obligation was 8.5% and 6.7% in 2025 for pre-65 participants and post-65 participants, respectively, trending down to 4.5% in 2034. The assumed health care cost trend rates can have a significant impact on the amounts reported. The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 includes a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement health care plans that provide a prescription benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. Thrivent’s Medicare prescription plan is fully insured and therefore the plan’s insurer receives the federal subsidy.

The interest crediting rates are used for cash balance plans.

Estimated pension benefit payments for the next ten years are as follows: 2026 – $81 million; 2027 – $84 million; 2028 – $85 million; 2029 – $87 million; 2030 –$88 million; and 2031 to 2035 – $450 million.

Estimated other post-retirement benefit payments for the next ten years are as follows: 2026 – $8 million; 2027 – $8 million; 2028 – $7 million; 2029 – $6 million; 2030 – $6 million; and 2031 to 2035 – $28 million.

The minimum pension contribution required for 2025 under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) guidelines will be determined in the first quarter of 2026.

Pension Assets

The assets of Thrivent’s qualified pension plan are held in the Thrivent Defined Benefit Plan Trust. Thrivent has a benefit plan investment committee that sets investment guidelines, which are established based on market conditions, risk tolerance, funding requirements and expected benefit payments. A third party oversees the investment allocation process and monitors asset performance. As pension liabilities are long term in nature, Thrivent employs a long-term total return approach to maximize the long-term rate of return on plan assets for a prudent level of risk.

The investment portfolio contains a diversified portfolio of investment categories, including equities and fixed income securities. Allocations for plan assets for the years ended December 31 were as follows:

	Target Allocation		Actual Allocation
	2025	2024	2025	2024
Equity securities	57 %	56 %	58 %	51 %
Private Equity	13	14	12	12
Fixed income and other securities	30	30	30	37
Fixed income and other securities	100 %	100 %	100 %	100 %

Securities are also diversified in terms of domestic and international securities, short- and long-term securities, growth and value styles, large-cap and small-cap stocks, active and passive management and derivative-based styles. With prudent risk tolerance and asset diversification, the plan is expected to meet the pension obligations in the future.

THRIVENT VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT A

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(1) ORGANIZATION - continued

The Variable Account is used to fund flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts issued by Thrivent Financial. Under applicable insurance law, the assets and liabilities of the Variable Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of Thrivent Financial. The assets of the Variable Account will not be charged with any liabilities arising out of any other business conducted by the insurance operations of Thrivent Financial.

A fixed account investment option is available for contract owners of the flexible premium deferred variable annuity contracts. Assets of the fixed account are combined with the general assets of Thrivent Financial and invested by Thrivent Financial as allowed by applicable law. Accordingly, the fixed account assets are not included in the Variable Account financial statements.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Variable Account applies the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies as outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 946.

Segment Reporting

The subaccounts' operations constitute a single segment and therefore the single reportable segment of the Variable Account. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), Vice President — Solutions Pricing & Development, manages the business activities of the subaccounts and utilizes the net assets metric to allocate resources and assess performance of the subaccounts. The accounting policies used to measure the net assets of the subaccounts are the same as those described in Note 2.

Valuation of Investments

The investments in shares of the Funds are stated at fair value, which is the closing net asset value per share as determined by the Fund. The cost of shares sold and redeemed is determined on the average cost method. Dividend distributions received from the Fund are reinvested in additional shares of the Fund and recorded as income by the subaccount on the ex-dividend date. Series Fund shares owned represent the number of shares of the Fund owned by the subaccount.

Federal Income Taxes

Thrivent Financial qualifies as a tax-exempt organization under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been charged against the Variable Account. Thrivent Financial reserves the right to charge for taxes in the future should Thrivent Financial's tax status change.

Death Claims

Amounts payable under the contract for death benefits remain invested in the separate accounts until the beneficiaries provide instructions to disburse the benefits.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In estimating the fair values for financial instruments carried at fair value, the significance of observable and unobservable inputs used to determine fair value are taken into consideration. Each of the financial instruments must be classified into one of three categories based on that evaluation:

Level 1:

Fair value based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets that are accessible.

Level 2:

Fair value based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets that are accessible; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; or model-derived valuations where the significant value driver inputs are observable.

Level 3:

Fair value based on significant value driver inputs that are not observable.

The Funds in the Accounts have been measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and are therefore not categorized in the fair value hierarchy.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated Variable Account related events and transactions that occurred during the period from the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities through the date of issuance of the Variable Account's financial statements. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Variable Account's financial statements.

(3) EXPENSE CHARGES

Proceeds received by the Variable Account from units issued represent gross contract premiums received by Thrivent Financial. No charge for sales distribution expense is deducted from premiums received.

A contract maintenance charge of $25 per contract year is deducted to reimburse Thrivent Financial for administrative expenses related to the contract. This fee is waived if the sum of the total net premiums are $1,500 or more at the end of the contract year or at surrender. A surrender charge is imposed in the event of a full or partial surrender in excess of 10% of the accumulated value during the first seven contract years. The withdrawal and surrender charges are deducted by redeeming units of the subaccounts of the Variable Account.

The contract owner may make twelve transfers between investment options per contract year, but thereafter, each transfer is subject to a $10 transfer charge. Transfers from the fixed account are not allowed.

A daily charge is deducted from the value of the net assets of the Variable Account to compensate Thrivent Financial for mortality and expense risks assumed in connection with the contract. The charge is based on the average daily net assets of the Variable Account and is equal to annual rate of 1.15% during accumulation period of the contract and 0.85% while the contract is pending payout due to a death claim.

(a)

These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the separate account, consisting of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying fund have been excluded.

(b)

These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying mutual fund net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against the contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the subaccount invests.

(c)

These amounts represent the total return for periods indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. The total return is calculated using accumulation unit values.

THRIVENT VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT A

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

(7) SUBACCOUNT MERGERS

A Special Meeting of shareholders of the Thrivent Low Volatillity Equity and Thrivent Multidimensional Income (the “Target Portfolios”) which is a separate series of Thrivent Series Fund, Inc. (“the Fund”), was held on June 27, 2024. The Contractholders of each Subaccount voted in favor of merging the Target Portfolios into the Portfolios shown below (“the Acquiring Portfolios”) effective July 26, 2024.

The merger was accomplished by tax free exchanges as detailed below:

Merger 1	Net Assets as of July 26, 2024	Shares as of July 26, 2024
Acquiring Portfolio	$21,726,682	$1,524,444
Target Portfolio	$691,117	$56,781
After Acquisition	$22,417,799	$1,581,225

Merger 2	Net Assets as of July 26, 2024	Shares as of July 26, 2024
Acquiring Portfolio	$3,477,349	$387,116
Target Portfolio	$559,347	$62,202
After Acquisition	$4,036,696	$449,318

The target portfolios had the following unrealized appreciation/depreciation, accumulated net realized gains/losses and net investment income as of July 25, 2024.

Portfolio	Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)	Net Investment Income (loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
Thrivent Low Volatility Equity	$(46,801 )	$23,076	$82,343
Thrivent Multidimensional Income	$44,482	$43,693	$(70,750 )

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2024 the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Portfolios, the Acquiring Portfolio's unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024, would have been as follows:

Portfolio	Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)	Net Investment Income (loss)	Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)
Thrivent Global Stock	$1,007,396	$205,446	$1,741,851
Thrivent Opportunity Income Plus	$97,946	$181,612	$(113,692 )

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Target Portfolio that have been included in the Acquiring Portfolio's statement of operations since July 26, 2024.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2023 the beginning of the annual reporting period of the Portfolios, the Acquiring Portfolio's unaudited pro forma results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, would have been as follows:

Indemnification

Section 33 of the Insurance Company’s Bylaws, Article VIII the Fund’s Articles of Incorporation, Section 4.01 of the Fund’s First Amended and Restated Bylaws, and Section Eight of Thrivent Investment Management Inc.’s Articles of Incorporation, contain provisions requiring the indemnification by the Insurance Company, the Funds, and Thrivent Investment Management Inc. of their respective directors, officers and certain other individuals for any liability arising based on their duties as directors, officers or agents of the Insurance Company, Fund or Thrivent Investment Management Inc., unless, in the case of the Fund, such liability arises due to the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of such office.

Section 8 of the Participation Agreement between the Insurance Company, the Accounts and the Fund contains a provision in which the Fund and Insurance Company mutually agree to indemnify and hold the other party (including its Officers, agents, and employees) harmless for any and all loss, cost damage and expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the other party arising out of their performance under the Agreement, unless such liability is incurred as a result of the party’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misfeasance or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.

In addition, Section XII of the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Fund and the Insurance Company contain provisions in which the Fund and Insurance Company mutually agree to indemnify and hold the other party (including its officers, agents, and employees) harmless for any and all loss, cost damage and expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred by the other party arising out of their performance under the Agreement, unless such liability is incurred as a result of the party’s gross negligence, bad faith, or willful misfeasance or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Agreement.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of Registrant, pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Insurance Company, the Fund, or Thrivent Investment Management Inc. of expenses incurred or paid by a director or officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in connection with the securities being registered, the Insurance Company, the Fund, or Thrivent Investment Management Inc. will,

unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether or not such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
