Pacific Life s VUL insurance products currently offer policyowners the ability to allocate their premium payments among more than 90 different investment options, which includes the Portfolio Optimization Conservative Portfolio. The Portfolio is an asset allocation fund-of-funds investment option that aims to provide diversification across major asset classes by investing in certain Underlying Funds of Pacific Select Fund. Pacific Life Fund Advisors LLC (PLFA), a subsidiary of Pacific Life Insurance Company, is the investment adviser and responsible for determining the asset allocation mix for the Portfolio. PLFA manages the Portfolio through a multi-step process that includes: (1) asset allocation/ portfolio construction; (2) manager oversight, and (3) investment risk management.

2 PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION CONSERVATIVE PORTFOLIO The fund performance in this report includes only fund level fees and expenses, reinvestment of dividends, and distributions. Performance does not include any policy charges. Policy charges are deducted monthly. The policy charges may include, but are not limited to, Cost of Insurance charges, administrative charges, mortality and expense risk charges, coverage charges, and any rider charges. Additionally, a premium load is deducted from each premium payment. Policy performance would be significantly lower after all policy fees and expenses are deducted and policy cash values could be less than total premiums paid. You are encouraged to ask your life insurance producer for a personalized illustration since policy charges can vary by product. The illustration includes an analysis of charges report, to help you understand how the policy charges affect your policy cash values. See the applicable product prospectus and underlying fund prospectuses for more information. Variable universal life insurance generally requires additional premium payments after the initial premium. If either no premiums are paid, or subsequent premiums are insufficient to continue coverage, it is possible that coverage will expire. Life insurance is subject to underwriting and approval of the application and will incur monthly policy charges. ABOUT RISKS Every variable investment option has some degree of risk depending on what it invests in and what strategies it uses. While all variable investment options are subject to market risk, some investment options may be subject to greater volatility than others. The variable investment options are not FDIC insured or guaranteed. The risks disclosed below are only intended to illustrate certain principal risks of the variable investment options and are not intended to be complete or exhaustive. Before investing you should carefully read the applicable fund prospectuses. Asset allocation is the process of distributing a fund s investments among varying asset classes of investments (e. g., equity and debt). It does not guarantee diversification, assure a profit, or protect against loss. Convertible securities are generally subject to equity securities risk when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price and to the risks of debt securities when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price. They also tend to be of lower credit quality. Currency exposure subjects a fund to changes in exchange rates between currencies, which may result in increased volatility. The values of Debt Securities are affected by many factors, including prevailing interest rates and the outlook for changes in interest rates, market conditions and market liquidity. Derivatives can be complex instruments that may experience sudden changes in price and liquidity, may be difficult to value, sell or unwind and may be leveraged, which can cause very large swings in value. Privately negotiated derivatives are further subject to the counterparty s ability to satisfy its obligation under the derivatives contract. Commonly-used derivatives include forward commitments and futures contracts - which obligate a purchaser to purchase, and a seller to sell, a specific amount of an asset at a specified future date and price; options where, for a premium payment or fee, the purchaser of the option is given the right but not the obligation to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) the underlying asset, or settle for cash an amount based on the underlying asset, at a specified price during a period of time or on a specified date; and swap agreements where the parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, and are subject to risks specific to these derivatives. Emerging market securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those in developed countries. Equity Securities tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, in response to many factors, including for reasons related to the particular issuer, general economic conditions and investor perceptions. Floating rate loans are usually rated below investment grade and thus are subject to greater risk of default than higher rated securities. In addition, their extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to a fund, thus subjecting the fund to greater liquidity risk. Investments in foreign markets are subject to regulatory, political, economic, market and other conditions of those markets, which can make these investments more volatile and less liquid than U. S. investments. Fund-of-funds are subject to risks at the fund-of-funds level and risks of the underlying funds in which they invest in proportion to their allocations to those underlying funds. They are also subject to their own expenses along with the expenses of the underlying funds, which can be higher than expenses incurred when investing directly in an underlying fund. Better returns could be achieved by investing in an individual fund or funds representing a single asset class rather than using asset allocation. High yield/high risk bonds (also known as junk bonds ) have greater risk of default than higher quality bonds that may have a lower yield. Value companies are considered undervalued so there is a risk that the determination that a value company s stock is undervalued is not correct or not recognized in the market. The performance of index funds, whose investments track an index, may vary, sometimes substantially, from the performance of the fund s benchmark index due to imperfect correlation between the fund s investments and the index. An index fund should perform poorly when its index performs poorly, as opposed to an actively managed fund which generally seeks to outperform a benchmark index. Interest rate changes, or expectations about such changes, may cause the value of debt securities to fluctuate. Debt securities with longer durations or fixed interest rates tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them generally more volatile than debt securities with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Page 2 of 4

3 PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION CONSERVATIVE PORTFOLIO Leverage is investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested. Leverage can magnify gains and losses and therefore can increase volatility and market exposure, and may subject a fund to a loss far greater than the initial amount invested. The value of mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities will be affected by factors affecting the housing market or the respective market for the assets underlying these securities. Borrowers or issuers may pay principal later than expected (causing these securities to increase in duration and be more volatile in rising interest rate conditions) or pay principal sooner than expected, causing proceeds to be reinvested at lower prevailing interest rates. Sector and concentrated funds, which invest significantly in an industry or sector, or geographically concentrated funds, which invest significantly in a single or limited number of countries or particular geographic region, may be subject to greater price volatility. Generally, stocks of small-cap and mid-cap companies may be riskier and more volatile than those of larger, more established, or large-cap, companies, though all are subject to equity securities risk. Not all U. S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U. S. government and there is a risk that the U. S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U. S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if these entities cannot meet their financial obligations. Although some funds may have names or investment goals/ objectives that resemble retail mutual funds managed by the fund manager, these funds will not have the same underlying holdings or performance as the retail mutual funds. TOTAL ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES AFTER FEE WAIVER The annual percentage of fund assets paid as a percentage of your investment for the fund s operating expenses, including management fees and administrative expenses and distribution (12b-1) or service fees, as applicable. These expenses are generally based on each portfolio s average daily net assets for the portfolio s prior fiscal year. The percentage shown reflects the net expenses of the fund. A net expense reflects a deduction from total (gross) expenses. A fund-of-funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in equity and fixed-income securities. Please see the fund prospectus for more detailed information about a fund s annual operating expenses. MORNINGSTAR CATEGORY A proprietary Morningstar data point that funds are assigned to based on the underlying securities in each fund s portfolio. Page 3 of 4

Sector and concentrated funds, which invest significantly in an industry or sector, or geographically concentrated funds, which invest significantly in a single or limited number of countries or particular geographic region, may be subject to greater price volatility. Short positions, whether taken through a derivative instrument or by conducting a short sale, lose value as the security s or reference asset s price increases; therefore, the loss on a short position is theoretically unlimited. Short positions are subject to leverage risk because they may result in investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Generally, stocks of small-cap and mid-cap companies may be riskier and more volatile than those of larger, more established, or large-cap, companies, though all are subject to equity securities risk. Socially responsive funds could underperform similar funds that do not have a social policy. Among the reasons for this are: undervalued stocks that do not meet the social criteria could outperform those that do, economic or political changes could make certain companies less attractive for investment, and the social policy could cause the fund to sell or avoid stocks that subsequently perform well. Not all U. S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U. S. government and there is a risk that the U. S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U. S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if these entities cannot meet their financial obligations.

If either no premiums are paid, or subsequent premiums are insufficient to continue coverage, it is possible that coverage will expire. Life insurance is subject to underwriting and approval of the application and will incur monthly policy charges. ABOUT RISKS Every variable investment option has some degree of risk depending on what it invests in and what strategies it uses. While all variable investment options are subject to market risk, some investment options may be subject to greater volatility than others. The variable investment options are not FDIC insured or guaranteed. The risks disclosed below are only intended to illustrate certain principal risks of the variable investment options and are not intended to be complete or exhaustive. Before investing you should carefully read the applicable fund prospectuses. Asset allocation is the process of distributing a fund s investments among varying asset classes of investments (e. g., equity and debt). It does not guarantee diversification, assure a profit, or protect against loss. Convertible securities are generally subject to equity securities risk when the underlying stock price is high relative to the conversion price and to the risks of debt securities when the underlying stock price is low relative to the conversion price. They also tend to be of lower credit quality. Currency exposure subjects a fund to changes in exchange rates between currencies, which may result in increased volatility. The values of Debt Securities are affected by many factors, including prevailing interest rates and the outlook for changes in interest rates, market conditions and market liquidity. Derivatives can be complex instruments that may experience sudden changes in price and liquidity, may be difficult to value, sell or unwind and may be leveraged, which can cause very large swings in value. Privately negotiated derivatives are further subject to the counterparty s ability to satisfy its obligation under the derivatives contract. Commonly-used derivatives include forward commitments and futures contracts - which obligate a purchaser to purchase, and a seller to sell, a specific amount of an asset at a specified future date and price; options where, for a premium payment or fee, the purchaser of the option is given the right but not the obligation to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) the underlying asset, or settle for cash an amount based on the underlying asset, at a specified price during a period of time or on a specified date; and swap agreements where the parties agree to exchange the returns earned on specific assets, and are subject to risks specific to these derivatives. Emerging market securities tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those in developed countries. Equity Securities tend to go up or down in value, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, in response to many factors, including for reasons related to the particular issuer, general economic conditions and investor perceptions. Floating rate loans are usually rated below investment grade and thus are subject to greater risk of default than higher rated securities. In addition, their extended trade settlement periods may result in cash not being immediately available to a fund, thus subjecting the fund to greater liquidity risk. Investments in foreign markets are subject to regulatory, political, economic, market and other conditions of those markets, which can make these investments more volatile and less liquid than U. S. investments. Fund-of-funds are subject to risks at the fund-of-funds level and risks of the underlying funds in which they invest in proportion to their allocations to those underlying funds. They are also subject to their own expenses along with the expenses of the underlying funds, which can be higher than expenses incurred when investing directly in an underlying fund. Better returns could be achieved by investing in an individual fund or funds representing a single asset class rather than using asset allocation. High yield/high risk bonds (also known as junk bonds ) have greater risk of default than higher quality bonds that may have a lower yield. Growth companies are considered to have potential for aboveaverage or rapid growth but may be subject to greater price volatility than value companies; value companies are considered undervalued so there is a risk that the determination that a value company s stock is undervalued is not correct or not recognized in the market. The performance of index funds, whose investments track an index, may vary, sometimes substantially, from the performance of the fund s benchmark index due to imperfect correlation between the fund s investments and the index. An index fund should perform poorly when its index performs poorly, as opposed to an actively managed fund which generally seeks to outperform a benchmark index. Page 2 of 4

11 PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION MODERATE PORTFOLIO Interest rate changes, or expectations about such changes, may cause the value of debt securities to fluctuate. Debt securities with longer durations or fixed interest rates tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, making them generally more volatile than debt securities with shorter durations or floating or adjustable interest rates. Leverage is investment exposure that exceeds the initial amount invested. Leverage can magnify gains and losses and therefore can increase volatility and market exposure, and may subject a fund to a loss far greater than the initial amount invested. Sector and concentrated funds, which invest significantly in an industry or sector, or geographically concentrated funds, which invest significantly in a single or limited number of countries or particular geographic region, may be subject to greater price volatility. Short positions, whether taken through a derivative instrument or by conducting a short sale, lose value as the security s or reference asset s price increases; therefore, the loss on a short position is theoretically unlimited. Short positions are subject to leverage risk because they may result in investment exposure in an amount exceeding the initial investment. Generally, stocks of small-cap and mid-cap companies may be riskier and more volatile than those of larger, more established, or large-cap, companies, though all are subject to equity securities risk. Not all U. S. government securities are backed or guaranteed by the U. S. government and there is a risk that the U. S. government will not make timely payments on its debt or provide financial support to U. S. government agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises if these entities cannot meet their financial obligations. Although some funds may have names or investment goals/ objectives that resemble retail mutual funds managed by the fund manager, these funds will not have the same underlying holdings or performance as the retail mutual funds. TOTAL ANNUAL OPERATING EXPENSES AFTER FEE WAIVER The annual percentage of fund assets paid as a percentage of your investment for the fund s operating expenses, including management fees and administrative expenses and distribution (12b-1) or service fees, as applicable. These expenses are generally based on each portfolio s average daily net assets for the portfolio s prior fiscal year. The percentage shown reflects the net expenses of the fund. A net expense reflects a deduction from total (gross) expenses. A fund-of-funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in equity and fixed-income securities. Please see the fund prospectus for more detailed information about a fund s annual operating expenses.
