Subchapter B. Computation of Minimum Nonforfeiture Amount
Section 1107.052. Contract With Flexible Considerations

Sec. 1107.052. CONTRACT WITH FLEXIBLE CONSIDERATIONS. (a) This section applies only to an annuity contract that provides for the payment of flexible considerations.
(b) The minimum nonforfeiture amount on or before annuity payments begin is an amount equal to the accumulation of the prescribed percentages of the amount of net considerations paid to the date of computation, which are accumulated at an interest rate of three percent per year, plus any additional amount credited to the contract by the company, less the amount of:
(1) any withdrawal from or partial surrender of the contract made before the minimum nonforfeiture amount is computed, accumulated at an interest rate of three percent per year; and
(2) any indebtedness to the company on the contract, including any accrued interest due on the indebtedness.
(c) For the purposes of this section, the amount of net consideration for a contract year may not be less than $0 and is computed by subtracting from the amount of gross considerations credited to the contract during that contract year:
(1) an annual contract charge of $30; and
(2) a collection charge of $1.25 for each consideration credited to the contract during that year.
(d) Except as provided by Subsection (e), the percentage of the amount of net consideration to be used in computing a minimum nonforfeiture amount under Subsection (b) is:
(1) 65 percent for the first contract year; and
(2) 87.5 percent for each subsequent contract year.
(e) For a renewal contract year, the percentage of the amount of net consideration to be used to compute a minimum nonforfeiture amount under Subsection (b) is 65 percent of the portion of the total amount of net consideration that exceeds by not more than two times the sum of those portions of the amount of net consideration in all preceding contract years for which the percentage was 65 percent.
