2 Monthly Investment Performance Update for the Period Ending: March 31, 2018 MassMutual Evolution SM A deferred variable annuity is a long-term investment designed to help you accumulate assets for retirement. It also offers a broad array of investment choices and asset classes, fixed accounts, death benefit choices and multiple methods to turn those assets into a stream of guaranteed income at some point in the future. (Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company and do not apply to the investment performance or the safety of amounts held in the variable investment choices.) Variable annuities are not appropriate for everyone. There are fees and charges associated with owning an annuity. Variable annuities are subject to market risk, including the potential loss of principal. Also, withdrawals of earnings will be subject to income tax and may be subject to a 10 percent federal income tax penalty if taken prior to age 59 ½. MassMutual Evolution first became available (in most states) on March 1, 2004, but many of the underlying funds were established before this date. For these funds, the total returns are computed using hypothetical variable annuity unit values which are based on the underlying fund's performance less separate account expenses for the periods shown, including periods before the product was available. For periods of one year or less, the total return is not annualized and is the percentage change in an Accumulation Unit. For periods greater than one year, the average annual total return for the time periods is shown. Fund level expenses: performance reflects share classes without 12(b)-1 fees (except where noted) from inception to September 8, 2008 and for share classes with 12(b)-1 fees after September 8, Performance for share classes that reflect an additional 12b-1 fee will be lower than share classes without 12(b)-1 fees. Past performance is no indication of future results. This update contains the most recent month-end performance. Since performance changes daily, the current performance may be lower or higher than the performance reflected in this update. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For the most recent monthend performance information, visit our website at or call the MassMutual Customer Service Center at (800) , Monday Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time. Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal. Each investment choice underlying the variable annuity contract has broad risks that apply to all investment choices, such as market risk, as well as specific risks inherent in particular types of investment choices that may subject your variable annuity contract to greater risk and volatility than the general market. Before purchasing MassMutual Evolution, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity contract. For this and other information, obtain the MassMutual Evolution prospectus from your registered representative. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing or sending money. You may also obtain the prospectuses (or summary prospectuses, if available) for its underlying investment choices from your registered representative.

8 Credited Fixed Account Interest Rates Effective April 1, 2018 Current interest rates and guaranteed minimum interest rates vary by issue state and issue date. Credited rates will not be less than the minimum guaranteed interest rate as of a contract's issue date. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company. Previous Rate New Rate Change The Fixed Account New Money Rate 1.00% 1.00% 0.00% Portfolio Rate 1.00% 1.00% 0.00% Exchange Fixed Account 1.00% 1.00% 0.00% DCA Fixed Accounts Rates for all states, where available 1 6 Month DCA 1.00% 1.00% 0.00% 6 Month DCA Effective Yield 0.22% 0.22% 0.00% 12 Month DCA 1.00% 1.00% 0.00% 12 Month DCA Effective Yield 0.47% 0.47% 0.00% Rates listed are applicable for new sales and subsequent payments. If a contract offered a guaranteed minimum interest rate different than the current applicable base interest rate listed, the contract holder will receive the higher of the two rates. The product, certain features and/or investment choices may not be available in all states or with all firms contracted with MassMutual. 1 Current rates on DCA Fixed Accounts are subject to change monthly. The 6-Month DCA Fixed Account rate is guaranteed for 6 months. The 12-Month DCA Fixed Account rate is guaranteed for 12 months. These rates are credited to the respective DCA Fixed Accounts and do not reflect the performance of any investment choices. Certain restrictions apply. The stated interest rate is not earned on the entire purchase payment amount due to regular transfers to the variable investment choices that will affect the daily accrual, lowering the effective yield. Additionally, any subsequent purchase payments applied to an existing DCA Fixed Account term will participate in only the remaining portion of that DCA term, lowering the effective yield further on the subsequent purchase payments. The effective yield is based on your initial deposit after the completion of your DCA Fixed Account transfers.
