Dated April 17, 2014

This document is a prospectus/information statement (“Prospectus/Information Statement”).

You are receiving this Prospectus/Information Statement because, although you are not directly a shareholder of Huntington VA Income Equity, you are the owner of a variable life insurance or annuity contract (a “Contract”) issued by an insurance company and some or all of your contract value is invested, as provided by your contract, in Huntington VA Income Equity. For simplicity, the term “shareholder” refers to you. The term “shares” refers generally to your shares of beneficial interest in Huntington VA Income Equity. This Prospectus/Information Statement is being mailed or given to shareholders starting on or about April 17, 2014.

The total value of your investment will not change as a result of the Reorganization.

Table of Contents

This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the additional information contained elsewhere in this Prospectus/Information Statement, the Prospectuses and Statements of Information relating to the Funds and the Form of Agreement and Plan of Reorganization which is attached to this Prospectus/Information Statement.

Overview: Reasons for The Reorganization

The Reorganization will combine two series of the Trust with similar investment objectives, Huntington VA Income Equity and Huntington VA Dividend Capture, into one and is designed to achieve operating efficiencies due to the spreading of fixed costs over a larger pool of assets in the surviving Fund. Each Fund serves as a funding vehicle for insurance contracts that are offered by Carey and Company, Hartford Life Insurance Company, Transamerica Life Insurance Company and Sun Life Assurance Company. The Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Reorganization Plan based on information requested by the Board and provided by Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”). Before approving the Plan, the Trustees evaluated extensive information provided by management of the Trust and reviewed various factors about the Funds and the proposed Reorganization. The Trustees considered the similarity of investment objectives and relative performance of the Funds. Huntington VA Dividend Capture underperformed its benchmark for the one-, five, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013; whereas, Huntington VA Income Equity underperformed its benchmark for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013. Huntington VA Dividend Capture outperformed Huntington VA Income Equity for the five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013; Huntington VA Income Equity outperformed Huntington VA Dividend Capture for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2013. The Trustees also considered the relative asset size of Huntington VA Income Equity, including the benefits of Huntington VA Income Equity joining Huntington VA Dividend Capture. Upon completion of the Reorganization, Huntington VA Dividend Capture may achieve operating efficiencies because it will have a greater level of assets. As of December 31, 2013, Huntington VA Income Equity and Huntington VA Dividend Capture’ total net assets were approximately $20,377,254 and $41,109,153, respectively. If the Reorganization is completed, Huntington VA Dividend Capture is expected to have total net assets of approximately $61,484,590. The Trustees also reasoned that the Reorganization would likely result in lower expenses for the Huntington VA Income Equity shareholders due to Huntington VA Dividend Capture having lower Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses, and the anticipated economies of scale achieved following the Reorganization.

Accordingly, in approving the Reorganization, the Board determined that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of Huntington VA Income Equity and its shareholders, and that the interests of the shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity would not be diluted as a result of effecting the Reorganization.

Table of Contents

Impact of the Reorganization on Huntington VA Income Equity Shareholders

It is anticipated that the Reorganization will benefit you as follows, although no assurance can be given that the Reorganization will result in any such benefits:

 

   

OPERATING EFFICIENCIES: Upon the reorganization of Huntington VA Income Equity into Huntington VA Dividend Capture, operating efficiencies may be achieved by Huntington VA Dividend Capture because it is expected to have a greater level of assets than is currently in either of the Funds. As of December 31, 2013, Huntington VA Income Equity had total net assets of approximately $20,377,254, while Huntington VA Dividend Capture had total net assets of approximately $41,109,153 as of that date.

 

   

COST CONSIDERATIONS: Following the Reorganization, the total annual operating expenses of Huntington VA Dividend Capture are expected to be lower than the total annual operating expenses of Huntington VA Income Equity and at least as low as the Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund’s total annual operating expenses prior to the Reorganization. The Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund’s total annual operating expenses may decrease compared to its pre-reorganization total annual operating expenses as a result of the anticipated increase in total net assets, whereby operating efficiencies may be achieved following the Reorganization. While no assurance can be provided, following the Reorganization, the total annual operating expenses of Huntington VA Dividend Capture may decrease over the long-term due to the spreading of fixed costs over a larger pool of assets so that shareholders of Huntington VA Dividend Capture may in the future benefit from lower expenses achieved through economies of scale.

The Reorganization will not affect your Contract rights. The value of your Contract will remain the same immediately following the Reorganization. Huntington VA Dividend Capture will sell its shares on a continuous basis at net asset value only to insurance companies. Each insurance company will keep the same separate account. Your Contract values will be allocated to the same separate account and that separate account will invest in Huntington VA Dividend Capture after the Reorganization. After the Reorganization, your Contract values will depend on the performance of Huntington VA Dividend Capture rather than on that of Huntington VA Income Equity.

The Reorganization will not affect your right to purchase and redeem shares, to change among insurance company’s separate account options, to annuitize, or to receive distributions as permitted by your Contract. After the Reorganization, you will be able under your current Contract to purchase additional shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture. For more information, see “Purchases and Redemptions,” “Exchanges” and “Dividends and Distributions” below.

Table of Contents

Although Huntington VA Income Equity and Huntington VA Dividend Capture have similar investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies, some of the securities held by Huntington VA Income Equity may need to be sold in connection with the Reorganization for the purpose of complying with the investment policies or limitations of Huntington VA Dividend Capture. If such sales occur, the transaction costs will be borne by Huntington VA Income Equity. Such costs are ultimately borne by the Fund’s shareholders.

Summary of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

The Plan sets forth the key features of the Reorganization. For a complete description of the Reorganization, see Exhibit A. The Plan generally provides for the following:

 

   

the in-kind transfer of all of the assets of Huntington VA Income Equity to Huntington VA Dividend Capture in exchange for shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture;

 

   

the assumption by Huntington VA Dividend Capture of all of the liabilities of Huntington VA Income Equity;

 

   

the liquidation of Huntington VA Income Equity by distribution of shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture; and

 

   

the structuring of the Reorganization as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

The Reorganization is expected to be completed on or about June 23, 2014.

COMPARISON OF THE HUNTINGTON VA INCOME EQUITY AND

HUNTINGTON VA DIVIDEND CAPTURE FUNDS

Investment Objectives; Principal Investment Strategies and Risks

The investment objectives of Huntington VA Dividend Capture and Huntington VA Income Equity are similar, as each Fund seeks to produce income on investments. Although the principal investment strategies of the Funds are similar, there are some differences between the Funds. Huntington VA Dividend Capture normally pursues its investment objective by investing at least 65% of its assets in dividend-paying stocks, with a focus on those stocks that the Advisor believes are undervalued or out of favor. The Fund may also invest in convertible bonds and other securities that contain aspects of both stocks and bonds. The Fund generally invests in mature, middle and large-capitalization U.S. corporations. The Advisor will also frequently purchase stocks in a short period which increases the amount of trading costs the Fund will incur. In contrast, Huntington VA Income Equity normally invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities and at least 65% of its assets in income-producing equity securities. Huntington VA Income Equity may also invest in preferred stocks, corporate debt obligations convertible into common stock, and investment grade corporate debt obligations. Huntington VA Income Equity may also invest up to 10% of its assets in junk bonds. The Advisor considers dividend growth an important factor in its security selection process for Huntington VA Income Equity and may actively trade securities to achieve its investment objective.

Table of Contents

For detailed information about the principal investment strategies and risks of Huntington VA Dividend Capture, as well as each of its investment limitations and restrictions, see the current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for Huntington VA Dividend Capture, which is incorporated herein by reference.

The following summarizes a comparison of the Funds with respect to their principal investment strategies, as set forth in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information relating to each respective Fund.

 

    

Huntington VA Income Equity

  

Huntington VA Dividend Capture

Investment

Objective

   Seek to achieve current income and moderate appreciation of capital primarily through investment in income-producing equity securities.    Seek total return on investment, with dividend income an important component of that return.

Principal
Investment
Strateg
y

  

The Advisor invests primarily in domestic equity securities and under normal circumstances invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities, such as common stock and preferred stock. At least 65% of the Fund’s total assets will be invested in income-producing equity securities. The Advisor may invest in preferred stocks or corporate debt obligations convertible into common stock. As an additional income source, the Advisor also may invest in investment-grade corporate debt obligations. The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its total assets in debt obligations rated below investment-grade, also known as “junk bonds” (securities rated below BBB by Standard & Poor’s or Baa by Moody’s).

 

In addition to evaluating the current yield of a security, the Advisor considers dividend growth to be an important factor in selecting investments for the Fund.

Because the Fund contains “equity” in its name, the Fund will normally invest at least 80% of its assets in equity securities and will notify shareholders at least 60 days in advance of any changes in this investment policy.

 

The Fund may actively trade its portfolio securities in an attempt to achieve its investment objective.

  

The Fund normally invests at least 65% of its assets in dividend-paying stocks, and the Advisor focuses on those it believes are undervalued or out-of-favor. The Fund may invest in convertible bonds and other securities [such as preferred stock and real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)] that contain aspects of both stocks and bonds. The Advisor will also frequently purchase stocks in a short period prior to the ex- dividend date (the interval between the announcement and the payments of the next dividend) which increases the amount of trading costs the Fund will incur.

 

The Fund generally invests in mature, middle and large-capitalization U.S. corporations. Quantitative analysis is used to identify stocks that the Advisor believes are undervalued relative to the market and to the security’s historic valuations. It then uses a qualitative stock selection model based on earnings expectations and supplemental valuation measures to narrow the list of stocks to the most attractive.

Principal Risks

An investment in each Fund is subject to certain risks. There is no assurance that the investment performance of either Fund will be positive or that either Fund will meet its investment objective. The following discussion highlights the principal risks associated with investment in each of the Funds. The risks of the Funds are similar because the Funds have substantially similar investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies.

Huntington VA Dividend Capture and Huntington VA Income Equity

Each of the Funds has the following risks:

Call Risk. Issuers of securities may redeem the securities prior to maturity at a price below their current market value.

Counterparty Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments may be adversely affected if a security’s credit rating is downgraded; an issuer of an investment held by the Fund fails to pay an obligation on a timely basis, otherwise defaults or is perceived by other investors to be less creditworthy; or a counterparty to a derivatives or other transaction with the Fund files for bankruptcy, becomes insolvent, or otherwise becomes unable or unwilling to honor its obligation to the Fund.

Credit Risk. Issuers of securities in which the Fund invests may have their credit ratings downgraded or may default in the payment of principal or interest on the securities, which would cause the Fund to lose money.

Equity Securities Risk. The price of equity securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on market and economic conditions.

Interest Rate Risk. The value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates rise or increase when interest rates go down. The longer a security’s maturity or duration, the greater its value will change in response to changes in interest rates. The interest earned on the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities may decline when prevailing interest rates decline.

 

12


Table of Contents

Investment Style Risk. The type of securities in which a Fund invests may underperform other assets or the overall market.

Market Risk. The value of securities in the Fund’s portfolio will fluctuate and, as a result, the Fund’s share price may decline suddenly or over a sustained period of time.

Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may trade securities actively, which could increase its transaction costs (thereby lowering its performance).

Huntington VA Income Equity

Huntington VA Income Equity Fund has the following additional risks:

Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk refers to the possibility that the Fund may not be able to sell a security when it wants to, which could cause the Fund to continue to hold the security and thereby incur a loss.

Non-Investment Grade Securities Risk. Fixed income securities rated below investment grade generally entail greater interest rate, liquidity and credit risks than investment grade securities.

Huntington VA Dividend Capture

Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund has the following additional risks:

Class/Sector/Region Focus Risk. If the Fund invests more than 25% of its net assets in a particular asset class, or securities of issuers within a particular market sector or geographic region, it is subject to increased risk. Performance will generally depend on the performance of the class, sector or region, which may differ in direction and degree from that of the overall U.S. stock or bond markets. In addition, financial, economic, business and political developments affecting the class, sector or region may have a greater effect on the Fund.

Real Estate/REIT Risk. The Fund’s investments in REITs are subject to the same risks as direct investments in real estate, including sensitivity to general economic downturns and the volatility of local real estate markets. REITs may have limited financial resources and their securities may trade infrequently and in limited volume, and thus they may be more volatile than other securities.

Fees and Expenses

The Reorganization is expected to result in an overall decrease in annual fund operating expenses. The investment management fee charged by the Advisor for Huntington VA Dividend Capture is equal to the investment management fee charged for Huntington VA Income Equity and the fee rates to be charged by the various service providers to Huntington VA Dividend Capture are the same or lower than the fee rates charged to Huntington VA Income Equity. In addition, shareholders may benefit from overall lower expenses in the Huntington VA Dividend Capture Fund. More detailed information about the annual fund operating expenses for the each Fund is set forth in the Prospectus.

The tables below show examples that are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Funds and Huntington VA Dividend Capture Pro Forma, assuming the Reorganization takes place. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the Funds for the one, three, five and ten year periods as indicated. They show your costs if you sold your shares at the end of the period or continued to hold them.

Portfolio Turnover

Each Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Funds’ portfolio turnover rates were 118% and 151% of the average value of the portfolios of Huntington VA Dividend Capture and Huntington VA Income Equity, respectively.

Performance Records

The following charts show the past performance record of each Fund. Past performance is not an indication of future results. The Funds may also experience short-term performance swings as indicated in the high and low quarter information at the bottom of each chart.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION

Reasons for the Reorganization

At a meeting held on January 30, 2014, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Reorganization Plan based on information requested by the Board and provided by the Advisor. In approving the Reorganization, the Board determined that the Reorganization would be in the best interests of Huntington VA Income Equity and its shareholders, and that the interests of the shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity would not be diluted as a result of effecting the Reorganization.

 

19


Table of Contents

Before approving the Plan, the Trustees evaluated extensive information provided by management of the Trust and reviewed various factors about the Funds and the proposed Reorganization. The Trustees considered the relative asset size of Huntington VA Income Equity, including the benefits of Huntington VA Income Equity joining Huntington VA Dividend Capture.

The Trustees reviewed the historical performance record of each Fund and also noted that the Huntington VA Dividend Capture outperformed Huntington VA Income Equity for the five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013; Huntington VA Income Equity outperformed Huntington VA Dividend Capture for the one- and three-year periods ended December 31, 2013. Huntington VA Dividend Capture underperformed its benchmark for the one-, five, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013; whereas, Huntington VA Income Equity underperformed its benchmark for the one-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013.

Upon completion of the Reorganization, Huntington VA Dividend Capture may achieve operating efficiencies because it will have a greater level of assets. As of December 31, 2013, Huntington VA Income Equity had total net assets of approximately $20,377,254, while Huntington VA Dividend Capture had total net assets of approximately $41,109,153, as of that date. If the Reorganization is completed, Huntington VA Dividend Capture is expected to have total net assets of approximately $61,484,590. The Trustees considered the similar investment objectives, similar investment strategies and relative performance of the Funds. The Trustees also reasoned that the Reorganization would likely result in lower expenses to the Huntington VA Income Equity shareholders due to Huntington VA Dividend Capture having lower Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses.

In addition, the Trustees considered, among other things:

 

   

the fact that Huntington VA Income Equity has lacked the necessary assets to operate cost-effectively;

 

   

the fact that the Funds have similar investment objectives and similar principal investment strategies and restrictions, and Huntington VA Dividend Capture will be managed by the same Advisor;

 

   

the terms and conditions of the Reorganization;

 

   

the fact that the Reorganization would not result in the dilution of shareholders’ interests;

 

   

the expense ratios, fees and expenses of Huntington VA Income Equity and the fact that the anticipated expense ratios after fee waivers, fees and expenses of Huntington VA Dividend Capture will be lower than that of the Huntington VA Income Equity;

 

20


Table of Contents
   

the investment objective and policies of each Fund;

 

   

the composition of each Fund’s portfolio;

 

   

the differences in the risks of each Fund;

 

   

the fact that Huntington VA Dividend Capture has better performance than Huntington VA Income Equity over the five- and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2013;

 

   

the potential benefits to shareholders, including operating efficiencies that may be achieved from the Reorganization;

 

   

the fact that both Funds are classified as Equity Income by Lipper;

 

   

the fact that Huntington VA Dividend Capture will assume all of the liabilities of Huntington VA Income Equity;

 

   

the fact that the Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free transaction for federal income tax purposes; and

 

   

alternatives available to shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity, including the ability to redeem their shares.

During their consideration of the Reorganization, the Independent Trustees of the Trust discussed with counsel to the Independent Trustees the legal issues involved.

After consideration of the factors noted above, together with other factors and information considered to be relevant, and recognizing that there can be no assurance that any operating efficiencies or other benefits will in fact be realized, the Trustees of the Trust concluded that the proposed Reorganization would be in the best interests of Huntington VA Income Equity and its shareholders. Consequently, they approved the Plan on behalf of the shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity.

The Trustees of the Trust have also approved the Plan on behalf of Huntington VA Dividend Capture.

Agreement and Plan of Reorganization

Below is a summary of the important terms of the Reorganization Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Reorganization Plan itself, a form of which is set forth in Exhibit A to this Prospectus/Information Statement, and which we encourage you to read in its entirety.

 

21


Table of Contents

The Reorganization is expected to take effect on or before June 23, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), although that date may be adjusted in accordance with the Reorganization Plan.

General Information

The Reorganization Plan provides that all of the assets of Huntington VA Income Equity will be acquired by Huntington VA Dividend Capture in exchange for shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture and the assumption by Huntington VA Dividend Capture of all of the liabilities of Huntington VA Income Equity on or about June 23, 2014 or such other date as may be agreed upon by the parties (the “Closing Date”).

On or prior to the Closing Date, Huntington VA Income Equity will declare a dividend or dividends and distribution or distributions which, together with all previous dividends and distributions, shall have the effect of distributing to the Fund’s record holders all of the Fund’s investment company taxable income for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and all of the Fund’s net capital gains realized in all taxable periods ending on the Closing Date (after reductions for any capital loss carryforward).

The number of full and fractional shares of each class of Huntington VA Dividend Capture to be received by shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity will be determined by multiplying the number of outstanding full and fractional shares of each class of Huntington VA Income Equity by a factor which shall be computed by dividing the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of Huntington VA Income Equity by the NAV per share of the corresponding class of shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture. These computations will take place as of the Valuation Time. The NAV per share of Huntington VA Dividend Capture and Huntington VA Income Equity will be determined by dividing assets, less liabilities, by the total number of outstanding shares.

Immediately thereafter, Huntington VA Income Equity will liquidate and distribute the shares received from Huntington VA Dividend Capture to its shareholders. This will be accomplished by opening an account on the books of Huntington VA Dividend Capture in the name of each shareholder of record of Huntington VA Income Equity and transferring Huntington VA Dividend Capture shares to each such account in complete liquidation of Huntington VA Income Equity. Each account will represent the pro rata number of full and fractional shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture due to the respective Huntington VA Income Equity shareholders. All issued and outstanding shares of Huntington VA Income Equity will be canceled. The shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture to be issued will have no preemptive or conversion rights and no share certificates will be issued. After these distributions and the winding up of its affairs, Huntington VA Income Equity will be terminated as a series of the Trust.

 

22


Table of Contents

Until the Closing Date, shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity will continue to be able to redeem their shares at the NAV per share next determined after receipt by Huntington VA Income Equity’s transfer agent of a redemption request in proper form. After the Reorganization, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Huntington VA Income Equity will be canceled on the books of Huntington VA Income Equity, and the share transfer books of Huntington VA Income Equity will be permanently closed. If the Reorganization is consummated, shareholders will be free to redeem the shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture that they receive in the transaction at their then-current NAV. Shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity may wish to consult their tax advisors as to any different consequences of redeeming their shares prior to the Reorganization or exchanging such shares for shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture following the Reorganization.

Other Provisions

The Reorganization is subject to a number of conditions set forth in the Reorganization Plan. Certain of these conditions may be waived by the Board of Trustees. The significant conditions include receipt by the Board and the Trust of an opinion of counsel as to certain federal income tax aspects of the Reorganization. The Reorganization Plan may be terminated and the Reorganization abandoned at any time prior to the Closing Date by the Board of Trustees.

In the proposed Reorganization, shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity will receive shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture and will be able to purchase, redeem and exchange shares and receive distributions the same way as they currently do with respect to their shares of Huntington VA Income Equity.

Prior to or at the completion of the Reorganization, Huntington VA Income Equity and Huntington VA Dividend Capture will have each received an opinion from the law firm of Sullivan & Worcester LLP that, while not entirely free from doubt, the reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of section 368(a) of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, it is believed that no gain or loss generally will be recognized by Huntington VA Income Equity or Huntington VA Dividend Capture or their respective shareholders. See “Federal Income Tax Consequences” for more information on the federal tax consequences of the Reorganization.

At a meeting held on January 30, 2014, the Board approved the Reorganization Plan, finding that the Reorganization is in the best interests of Huntington VA Income Equity and its shareholders.

Purchases and Redemptions

Each Fund has the same purchase and redemption procedures. You may purchase shares only through variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies offered by participating insurance companies. Fund shares are not offered directly to the public. You may redeem shares only through participating insurance companies.

For more information, see the section “Shareholder Guide” in the respective Fund prospectus.

Exchanges

Each Fund has the same exchange policy. Exchanges may only be made between Funds having identical shareholder registrations. For any other exchanges you must obtain a New Technology Medallion Signature Guarantee.

Exchanges will not be available for Shares purchased by check until the check has cleared.

Dividends and Distributions

The Funds have the same dividend distribution policy. Each Fund declares and pays dividends on investment income, if any, monthly. Each Fund distributes its capital gains at least annually. All dividends and distributions payable to a holder of Shares will be automatically reinvested in additional Shares of the Fund, unless election is made on behalf of a participating insurance company to receive some or all of a dividend or distribution in cash. See the respective Funds’ prospectuses for further information concerning dividends and distributions.

Fiscal Year

Huntington VA Income Equity and Huntington VA Dividend Capture currently operate on a fiscal year ending December 31. Following the Reorganization, Huntington VA Income Equity will assume the financial history of Huntington VA Dividend Capture and continue to operate on a fiscal year ending December 31 of each year.

Expenses of the Reorganization

The expenses associated with the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Plan shall be borne by the Funds. The expenses of the reorganization are estimated to be $16,800, and will be allocated to each Fund on a pro-rata basis.

Table of Contents

Federal Income Tax Consequence s

The Reorganization is intended to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. No gain or loss will be recognized as a consequence of the Reorganization by Huntington VA Income Equity (except to the extent that such assets consist of contracts described in Section 1256 of the Code), nor will a gain or loss be recognized by the shareholders of Huntington VA Income Equity as a result of Huntington VA Dividend Capture’s distribution of its corresponding Fund shares to such shareholders in exchange for such shareholder’s Huntington VA Income Equity Fund shares. In addition, a shareholder’s tax basis for shares held in Huntington VA Income Equity will carry over to the shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture acquired in the Reorganization, and the holding period for shares held as a capital asset also will carry over to Huntington VA Dividend Capture shares received in the Reorganization. As a condition to the closing of the proposed Reorganization, each of the Trust and the Acquiring Fund shall have received a legal opinion from Sullivan & Worcester LLP to the effect that, while the matter is not entirely free from doubt, the Reorganization will qualify as a tax-free reorganization with the foregoing tax consequences. That opinion will be based upon certain assumptions and conditions and on the representations set forth in the Reorganization Plan (and, if such counsel requests, in separate letters from the Trust and the Acquiring Fund) being true and complete at the time of the Closing Date and the Reorganization’s being consummated in accordance with the Reorganization Plan (without the waiver or modification of any terms or conditions thereof and without taking into account any amendment thereof that counsel has not approved).

Opinions of counsel are not binding upon the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or the courts. If a Reorganization is consummated but does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization under the Code, Huntington VA Income Equity would recognize gain or loss on the transfer of its assets to Huntington VA Dividend Capture and each shareholder of Huntington VA Income Equity would recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between its tax basis in the shares of Huntington VA Income Equity and the fair market value of the shares of Huntington VA Dividend Capture it receives. However, because the separate accounts that hold the Fund shares do not pay any taxes, no tax liability would result from any such gain and no tax benefit would result from any such loss.

Immediately prior to the Closing Date, Huntington VA Income Equity shall have declared and paid a distribution or distributions that, together with all previous distributions, shall have the effect of distributing to its shareholders: (i) all of its investment company taxable income and all of its net realized capital gains, if any, for the period from the close of its last fiscal year to 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date, and (ii) any undistributed investment company taxable income and net realized capital gains from any period to the extent not otherwise already distributed.

You should consult your tax adviser regarding the effect, if any, of the proposed Reorganization in light of your individual circumstances. Since the foregoing discussion relates only to the federal income tax consequences of the Reorganization, you should also consult your tax adviser as to state and local tax consequences, if any, of the Reorganization.

Tax Information

No discussion is included here as to the federal income tax consequences at the shareholder level because the separate accounts are the only Record Holders of the Funds’ Shares. For information regarding the tax consequences of Contract ownership, please see the prospectus for the relevant Contract.

Payments to Insurance Companies and Their Affiliates

Neither Fund is sold directly to the general public but instead each Fund is offered as an underlying investment option for Contracts issued by insurance companies that are affiliated with the Fund and the Advisor. As a result of these affiliations, the insurance companies may benefit more from offering a Fund as an investment option in the Contracts than offering other unaffiliated portfolios. The Funds and their related companies may also make payments to the sponsoring insurance companies (or their affiliates) for distribution and/or other services. The benefits to the insurance companies of offering the Funds over unaffiliated funds and these payments may be factors that the insurance companies consider in including the Funds as an underling investment option in the Contracts and may create a conflict of interest. The prospectus for your Contract contains additional information about these payments.

Distribution of Shares

Certain of the Funds of the Trust sell shares to the separate accounts of insurance companies as a funding vehicle for the Contracts offered by the insurance companies. Expenses of Huntington VA Dividend Capture are passed through to the insurance company’s separate accounts and are ultimately borne by Contract owners. In addition, other fees and expenses are assessed by the insurance company at the separate account level. (The insurance company Contract Prospectus describes all fees and charges relating to a Contract.) Huntington VA Dividend Capture may also offer shares to other separate accounts of other insurers if approved by the Board of Trustees.

Unified Financial Securities, Inc. (“UFS”) serves as the Distributor of The Huntington Funds and is affiliated with the Huntington National Bank. The address of UFS is 2960 North Meridian Street, Suite 300, Indianapolis, Indiana, 46208. UFS distributes the Contracts, and Huntington VA Dividend Capture’s shares underlying such Contracts, directly and through broker-dealers, banks or other financial intermediaries.

In connection with the Reorganization, no sales charges are imposed. Certain sales or other charges are imposed by the Contracts for which Huntington VA Dividend Capture serves as an investment vehicle. More detailed descriptions of the classes of shares and the distribution arrangements applicable to each class of shares are contained in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information relating to Huntington VA Dividend Capture.

COMPARATIVE INFORMATION ON SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHTS

Form of Organization

Huntington VA Income Equity and Huntington VA Dividend Capture are series of the Trust, an open-end management investment company registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act. The Trust was reorganized as a Delaware statutory trust in June 2006, and is governed by its Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, as amended, its Board of Trustees, and applicable Delaware and federal law. The Trust is organized as a “series company” as that term is used in Rule 18f-2 under the 1940 Act. The series of the Trust currently consist of Huntington VA Income Equity and Huntington VA Dividend Capture and 31 other mutual funds of various asset classes.

Capitalization

The beneficial interests in the Trust are represented by an unlimited number of transferable shares of beneficial interest, no par value, of one or more series. The Declaration of Trust of the Trust permits the Trustees to allocate shares into one or more series, and classes thereof, with rights determined by the Trustees, all without shareholder approval. Fractional shares may be issued by each Fund.

Shareholders of each Fund are entitled to receive dividends and other amounts as determined by the Trustees. Shareholders of each Fund vote separately, by Fund, as to matters, such as changes in fundamental investment restrictions, that affect only their particular Fund.

Shareholder Liability

Under Delaware law, shareholders of a Delaware statutory trust are entitled to the same limitation of personal liability extended to stockholders of Delaware corporations. To the extent that the Trust or a shareholder of the Trust is subject to the jurisdiction of courts in other states, it is possible that a court may not apply Delaware law and may thereby subject shareholders of the Trust to liability. To guard against this risk, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust (a) provides that any written obligation of the Trust may contain a statement that such obligation may only be enforced against the assets of the Trust or the particular series in question and the obligation is not binding upon the shareholders of the Trust; however, the omission of such a disclaimer will not operate to create personal liability for any shareholder; and (b) provides for indemnification out of Trust property of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the Trust. Accordingly, the risk of a shareholder of the Trust incurring financial loss beyond that shareholder’s investment because of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which: (1) a court refuses to apply Delaware law; (2) no contractual limitation of liability was in effect; and (3) the Trust itself is unable to meet its obligations. In light of Delaware law, the nature of the Trust’s business, and the nature of its assets, the risk of personal liability to a shareholder of the Trust is remote.

Table of Contents

Shareholder Meetings and Voting Rights

The Trust, on behalf of Huntington VA Income Equity and Huntington VA Dividend Capture, is not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders. However, a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of a Trustee must be called when requested in writing by the holders of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Trust. In addition, the Trust is required to call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing Trustees if, at any time, less than a majority of the Trustees then holding office were elected by shareholders. The Trust currently does not intend to hold regular shareholder meetings. Cumulative voting is not permitted in the election of Trustees of the Trust.

Except when a larger quorum is required by applicable law or the applicable governing documents, 33  1 / 3 % of the shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for consideration of a matter at a shareholders’ meeting. When a quorum is present at a meeting, a majority (greater than 50%) of the shares voted is sufficient to act on a matter and a plurality of the shares voted is required to elect a Trustee (unless otherwise specifically required by the applicable governing documents or other law, including the 1940 Act).

A Trustee of the Trust may be removed with or without cause at a meeting of shareholders by a vote of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trust, or with or without cause by the vote of two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to removal.

Under the Trust’s Declaration of Trust, each shareholder is entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of each share owned by such shareholder and each fractional dollar amount is entitled to a proportionate fractional vote.

The Trust’s Declaration of Trust provides that unless otherwise required by applicable law (including the 1940 Act), the Board of Trustees may, without obtaining a shareholder vote: (1) reorganize the Trust as a corporation or other entity, (2) merge the Trust into another entity, or merge, consolidate or transfer the assets and liabilities or class of shares to another entity, and (3) combine the assets and liabilities held with respect to two or more series or classes into assets and liabilities held with respect to a single series or class.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to Trustees, Officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and, therefore, is unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by Trustees, Officers, or controlling persons of the Registrant in connection with the successful defense of any act, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustees, Officers, or controlling persons in connection with the shares being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issues.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities may be permitted pursuant to Section 17 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Trustees, Officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant by the Registrant pursuant to the Declaration of Trust or otherwise, the Registrant is aware of the position of the Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth in Investment Company Act Release No. IC-11330. Therefore, the Registrant undertakes that in addition to complying with the applicable provisions of the Declaration of Trust or otherwise, in the absence of a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before which the proceeding was brought, that an indemnification payment will not be made unless in the absence of such a decision, a reasonable determination based upon factual review has been made (i) by a majority vote of a quorum of non-party Trustees who are not interested persons of the Registrant or (ii) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that the indemnitee was not liable for an act of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of duties. The Registrant further undertakes that advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of a proceeding (upon undertaking for repayment unless it is ultimately determined that indemnification is appropriate) against an Officer, Trustee, or controlling person of the Registrant will not be made absent the fulfillment of at least one of the following conditions: (i) the indemnitee provides security for his undertaking; (ii) the Registrant is insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or (iii) a majority of a quorum of disinterested non-party Trustees or independent legal counsel in a written opinion makes a factual determination that there is reason to believe the indemnitee will be entitled to indemnification.
