________________________________________________________________________________
(1) As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 16, 2017 (the "Early Tender Time").
(2) Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase.
(3) Includes the early tender payment of $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Early Tender Payment").
(4) Based on an Early Settlement Date (as defined below) of October 24, 2017.

All Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase. Pursuant to the terms of the Offer, the amount of Notes that would be accepted for purchase is subject to the Tender Cap. Accordingly, because the Tender Cap has been reached in respect of tenders made at or prior to the Early Tender Time, no Notes of any series tendered after the Early Tender Time (regardless of acceptance priority level) will be accepted for purchase. Under certain circumstances, Pacific Life will accept tendered Notes of one or more series on a pro rata basis as further described in the Offer to Purchase.

As set forth in the Offer to Purchase, holders who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes at or prior to the Early Tender Time and whose Notes are accepted for purchase will receive the Full Tender Offer Consideration, which includes the Early Tender Payment. In addition, holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest from, and including, the last interest payment date for their tendered Notes to, but not including, the settlement date for such Notes, in each case rounded to the nearest cent.

The Withdrawal Deadline for the Offer was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 16, 2017, and has not been extended for any series of Notes. The Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 30, 2017, unless extended or earlier terminated by Pacific Life, with respect to any or all series of Notes (such date and time, as the same may be extended or earlier terminated, with respect to any or all series of Notes, the "Expiration Time").

The offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including a financing condition, as specified in the Offer to Purchase.

Pacific Life may, prior to the Expiration Time, elect to accept the Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time provided that all conditions to the offer, including the financing condition, have been satisfied or waived by Pacific Life. Pacific Life may then settle such Notes at such time or promptly thereafter (such date of settlement, which is expected to be October 24, 2017 and is subject to change without notice, the "Early Settlement Date"). The "Final Settlement Date" is the date that Pacific Life settles all Notes accepted for purchase and not previously settled on the Early Settlement Date, if any, and Pacific Life expects such date to be one business day following the Expiration Time.
