Form N-4 EL filings are registration statements filed by separate accounts organized as unit investment trusts that offer variable annuity contracts, submitted under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940. The "EL" designation indicates the filing includes a declaration of election under Rule 24f-2(a)(1), permitting the registrant to register an indefinite number of securities. The dataset includes all Form N-4 EL and Form N-4 EL/A filings submitted to EDGAR from March 1994 until the submission type was discontinued in late 1997. Form N-4 EL/A filings represent amendments to previously filed registration statements. For each accession number, a metadata file and all documents in the original EDGAR submission are included except image files. Each filing typically contains the registration statement, a prospectus describing the variable annuity contract, the depositor's name and address, the Statement of Additional Information, financial statements of the separate account, and exhibits such as the annuity contract and underwriting agreements.
