where
R1 is the lesser of R and .09,
R2 is the greater of R and .09,
R is the reference interest rate defined in § 38.2-3135, and
W is the weighting factor defined in § 38.2-3134;
2. For single premium immediate annuities, and for annuity benefits involvinglife contingencies arising from other annuities with cash settlement options,and from guaranteed interest contracts with cash settlement options,
I=.03 + W (R-.03)

W is the weighting factor defined in § 38.2-3134;
3. For other annuities with cash settlement options and guaranteed interestcontracts with cash settlement options, valued on an issue year basis, exceptas stated in subdivision 2 of this subsection, the formula for life insurancestated in subdivision 1 of this subsection shall apply to annuities andguaranteed interest contracts with guarantee durations in excess of tenyears. The formula for single premium immediate annuities stated insubdivision 2 of this subsection shall apply to annuities and guaranteedinterest contracts with guarantee duration of ten years or less;

B. However, if the calendar year statutory valuation interest rate for anylife insurance policies issued in any calendar year determined withoutreference to this sentence differs from the corresponding actual rate forsimilar policies issued in the immediately preceding calendar year by lessthan one-half of one percent, the calendar year statutory valuation interestrate for life insurance policies shall equal the corresponding actual ratefor the immediately preceding calendar year. For purposes of applying theimmediately preceding sentence, the calendar year statutory valuationinterest rate for life insurance policies issued in a calendar year shall bedetermined for 1980, using the reference interest rate defined for 1979, andshall be determined for each later calendar year regardless of when §38.2-3209 becomes operative.
