The Contract is available to Participants in retirement programs that qualify for deferral of federal income taxes. The Contract is only available to new participants in existing employer groups and is no longer available to new employer groups. The Contracts permit Participants to invest in and receive retirement benefits in a Fixed Account Option and/or an array of Variable Investment Options described in this prospectus.
The contract is a complex investment and involves risks that may cause the value of the Contract Owner’s investment to fluctuate including potential loss of principal. When the Contract is surrendered, the value may be higher or lower than the Purchase Payments. The Contract is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. Withdrawals could result in surrender charges, tax, and tax penalties, as applicable. Any amounts or obligations that we may pay are subject to our financial strength, claims-paying ability, and our long-term ability to make such payments.
An employer purchasing the Contract for a retirement plan, or the owner of an individual Contract, may cancel a newly purchased Contract within 20 days of receiving it without paying fees or penalties.
In some states, this cancellation period may be longer. Upon cancellation, you will receive either a full refund of the amount you paid with your application or your total Contract value. You should review the prospectus, or consult with your investment professional, for additional information about the specific cancellation terms that apply. The right of cancellation under this Contract does not apply to Participants in a group plan except in a limited number of states.

Should I Exchange My
Contract?
Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a
new contract in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange
a contract you already own only if you determine, after comparing the
features, fees, and risks of both contracts, and any fees or penalties to
terminate the existing contract, that it is preferable for you to purchase the
new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract.
Overview of the Contract
Purpose of the Contract
The Contract is designed to help you invest on a tax-deferred basis, meet long-term financial goals, and plan for your retirement. You can accumulate assets by investing in the Contract’s Investment Options and then later convert those accumulated assets into a stream of guaranteed income payments from us. The Contract includes a death benefit that may help financially protect your Beneficiary or Beneficiaries in the event of your death.
This Contract may be appropriate for you if you have a long investment time horizon and the Contract’s terms and conditions are consistent with your financial goals. It is not intended for people whose liquidity needs require early or frequent withdrawals or for people who intend to frequently trade in the Contract’s Investment Options.
The Contract is primarily used in connection with employer-sponsored qualified retirement plans, for which the employer is the Contract owner and participating employees receive certificates related to the Contract.
Phases of the Contract
Like all deferred annuities, the Contract has two phases: (1) a Purchase Period (for savings) and (2) a Payout Period (for income).
Purchase Period. During the Purchase Period, you invest your money under the Contract in one or more available Variable Investment Options and one Fixed Account Option to help you build assets on a tax-deferred basis. The Variable Investment Options and the Fixed Account Option may be referred to together as Investment Options and include:
Variable Investment Options. When you invest in a Variable Investment Option, you are indirectly investing in the Variable Investment Option’s underlying Portfolio Company. The Portfolio Companies have different investment objectives, strategies, and risks. You can gain or lose money if you invest in a Variable Investment Option.

Additional information about each Portfolio Company is provided in an appendix to this prospectus. Please see APPENDIX A: INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE CONTRACT.
Fixed Account Option. When you invest in the Fixed Account Option, your principal is guaranteed and earns interest based on a rate set and guaranteed by us.
The amount of money you accumulate during the Purchase Period depends (in part) on the performance of the Investment Options you choose. You may transfer money between Investment Options during the Purchase Period, subject to certain restrictions. Your
6


accumulated assets impact the value of your benefits during the Purchase Period, including the death benefit, as well as the amount available for withdrawal.
Payout Period. When you are ready to receive guaranteed income under the Contract, you can switch to the Payout Period, at which time you will start to receive Payout Payments from us. This is also referred to as “annuitizing” the Contract. You generally decide when to annuitize. You can choose from the available payout options, which may provide income for life, for a guaranteed period of time, or a combination of both. If the employer’s plan permits, you can also choose to receive payments on a variable or fixed basis, or a combination of both. If the Payout Payments are fixed, the dollar amount of each payment will be the same. If the Payout Payments are variable, the dollar amount for the payments will fluctuate.
The death benefit from the Purchase Period does not apply during the Payout Period. Any amount payable upon death during the Payout Period depends on the payout option selected. You cannot take withdrawals of Account Value or surrender the Contract during the Payout Period.
Contract Features
Retirement Plan Terms and Conditions. The Contract is primarily designed to be purchased by an employer for use in a retirement plan. Your participation in a group Contract will be subject to the terms and conditions of your retirement plan and applicable law, which may limit your ability to take certain actions under the Contract.
Accessing Your Money. You may withdraw money from the Contract at any time during the Purchase Period. If you make a withdrawal, you may have to pay income taxes, including a tax penalty if you are younger than age 59½. Withdrawals may negatively impact the value of your benefits under the Contract.
Tax Treatment. Money can be transferred between Investment Options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on your investments are generally tax-deferred. Earnings and untaxed contributions are not taxed until they are distributed, which may occur when making a withdrawal, upon receiving a Payout Payment, or upon payment of the death benefit. You do not receive any additional tax benefit under the Contract if you participate in the Contract through a tax-qualified plan.
Death Benefit. If you die during the Purchase Period, we pay a death benefit to your Beneficiary or Beneficiaries for no additional fee.
Additional Features and Services. Additional features and services under the Contract are summarized below. There are no additional charges associated with these features and services unless otherwise noted. Not all features and services may be available under your Contract.
Systematic Withdrawals. This program allows you to automatically receive withdrawals on a regular basis during the Purchase Period.
Affiliate Guarantee. If your Contract or certificate was issued on December 29, 2006 or earlier, our insurance obligations under the Contract are also guaranteed by American Home Assurance Company, our former affiliate, subject to its financial strength and claims-paying ability. This guarantee does not guarantee Contract value or the investment performance of the Variable Investment Options.

Buying the Contract
Purchasing the Contract
If you are an employee seeking to participate in your employer’s group Contract, you may establish an account through your employer. Your employer will be responsible for furnishing the necessary information (including enrollment information and allocation instructions) and remitting the initial Purchase Payment to us.
When an initial Purchase Payment is accompanied by an application (or enrollment form), we will promptly either:
(a)
Accept the application and establish your account within 2 Business Days;
(b)
Request additional information to correct or complete the application. We will return the Purchase Payment within 5 Business Days if the requested information is not provided, unless you otherwise so specify. Once we have the requested information, we will establish your account effective the date we accept your application; or
(c)
Reject the application and return the initial Purchase Payment.
If we receive an initial Purchase Payment from your employer before we receive your completed application (or enrollment form), we will not be able to establish a permanent account for you. If this occurs, we will either return the Purchase Payment, deposit the Purchase Payment into an employer-directed account, or deposit the Purchase Payment into a starter account.
Purchase Payments
Any contribution that you make into the Contract is a Purchase Payment. The initial Purchase Payment is the money you initially contribute to the Contract when purchasing the Contract or opening an account. For periodic payment Contracts, each contribution thereafter is a Subsequent Purchase Payment. If you are participating in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, your employer is responsible for remitting Purchase Payments to us. Otherwise, you should remit Purchase Payments to us directly or through your financial intermediary.
8


The maximum single payment that may be applied to any account without our prior approval is $1,000,000.
Minimum initial and Subsequent Purchase Payments are as follows:
Contract Type
Initial Purchase Payment
Subsequent Purchase Payment
Periodic Payment
$30
$30
Single Payment
$1,000
Not Applicable
Periodic payment minimums apply to each periodic payment made. The single payment minimum applies to each account.
Crediting and Allocating Purchase Payments
A Purchase Payment must be in “good order” before it can be posted to your account. “Good order” means that all required information and/or documentation has been supplied and that the funds (check, wire, or ACH) clearly identify for whom the Purchase Payment is to be applied. See When Your Account Will be Credited in the “Purchases and Contract Value” section in the prospectus for specific information that we will require for a Purchase Payment to be in good order.
We will credit a Purchase Payment to your account as follows:
Initial Purchase Payment. Once we receive the completed application (or enrollment form) and the initial Purchase Payment in good order, we will accept the application and establish your account within 2 Business Days. We will apply your Purchase Payment by crediting that amount to your account, effective the date we accept your application. If you do not give us all of the information we need, we will contact you to get it before we make any allocation. If for some reason we are unable to complete this process within 5 Business Days, we will either send back your money or get your permission to keep it until we get all of the necessary information.
Subsequent Purchase Payments. If a subsequent Purchase Payment is received on a Business Day in good order by our bank by Market Close, the appropriate account(s) will be credited on that Business Day. Purchase Payments received in good order after Market Close or on a non-Business Day will be credited the next Business Day.
When we credit a Purchase Payment to your account, we will allocate the Purchase Payment among the Investment Options based on the allocation instructions applicable to that Purchase Payment.
We may establish an account for you at the direction of your employer if your employer provides such direction on a form acceptable to VALIC and accompanied by certain necessary information. Under such circumstances, we will deposit your Purchase Payment in an “Employer-Directed” account invested in a Money Market Division, or other Investment Options chosen by your employer. In situations where we have your name, address and SSN, but do not have an agreement with your employer for directed accounts, we will deposit your Purchase Payment in a “starter” account invested in the Money Market Division option available for your plan or other Investment Options chosen by your employer and request the information necessary to complete the application.
Making Withdrawals: Accessing the Money in Your Contract
Purchase Period
During the Purchase Period, you may withdraw all or part of your Account Value at any time if allowed by applicable law and your retirement plan. The following table highlights certain important information regarding withdrawals under the Contract.
Taxes
Your withdrawal may be subject to taxes, including a 10% federal tax penalty if you are younger than age
59½.
Market Value Adjustments
If you take an early withdrawal from the Potentia General Account, the withdrawal will be subject to a market
value adjustment that will result in either an increase or reduction in the value of your investment in the
Potentia General Account.
Negative Impact on Contract
values
A withdrawal will reduce the value of your Contract and may reduce the value of the death benefit (perhaps
significantly).
Internal Revenue Code or
Retirement Plan
Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code or your retirement plan may restrict your ability
to take withdrawals.
9


When you take a partial withdrawal, you may specify an amount to be taken from each Investment Option in which you are invested, or that the amount should be withdrawn pro-rata against all of your Investment Options. If you do not specify, the withdrawal will be taken pro-rata against all of your Investment Options.
The surrender value in a Fixed Account Option will never be less than the Purchase Payments allocated to the Fixed Account Option (less amounts transferred to a Variable Investment Option or withdrawn from the Fixed Account Option).
Payout Period
Once the Payout Period begins, you will receive Payout Payments from your Contract under the selected payout option. You cannot make withdrawals of your Account Value during the Payout Period.
Requesting a Surrender or Withdrawal
If you would like to access all or a portion of your Account Value during the Purchase Period, you must complete a surrender request form in good order or information required in other approved media. Submit your request to our Annuity Service Center at VALIC Document Control, P.O. Box 15648, Amarillo, Texas 79105. Good order means that all paperwork is complete and signed or approved by all required persons, and any necessary supporting legal documents or plan forms have been received in correct form.
We will send via EFT or by mail a check with the surrender value to you within seven calendar days after we receive your request if it is in good order. Under certain circumstances, we may be permitted or required by applicable law to delay payment.
If you wish to receive automatic withdrawals, you may enroll in a systematic withdrawal program under the Contract, if available.
