A deferred variable annuity is a long-term investment designed to help you accumulate assets for retirement. It also offers a broad array of investment choices and asset classes, fixed accounts, death benefit choices and multiple methods to turn those assets into a stream of guaranteed income at some point in the future. (Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company and do not apply to the investment performance or the safety of amounts held in the variable investment choices.) Variable annuities are not appropriate for everyone. There are fees and charges associated with owning an annuity. Variable annuities are subject to market risk, including the potential loss of principal. Also, withdrawals of earnings will be subject to income tax and may be subject to a 10 percent federal income tax penalty if taken prior to age 59 ½.

MassMutual Transitions Select first became available (in most states) on August 16, 2004, but many of the underlying funds were established before this date. For these funds, the total returns are computed using hypothetical variable annuity unit values which are based on the underlying fund's performance less separate account expenses for the periods shown, including periods before the product was available. For periods of one year or less, the total return is not annualized and is the percentage change in an Accumulation Unit. For periods greater than one year, the average annual total return for the time periods is shown.

Fund level expenses: performance reflects share classes without 12(b)-1 fees (except where noted) from inception to September 8, 2008 and for share classes with 12(b)-1 fees after September 8, 2008. Performance for share classes that reflect an additional 12b-1 fee will be lower than share classes without 12(b)-1 fees.

Past performance is no indication of future results. This update contains the most recent month-end performance. Since performance changes daily, the current performance may be lower or higher than the performance reflected in this update. The investment return and principal value of aninvestment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. For the most recent month- end performance information, visit our website at www.massmutual.com or call the MassMutual Customer Service Center at (800) 272-2216, Monday – Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time.

Investing involves risk, including the loss of principal. Each investment choice underlying the variable annuity contract has broad risks that applyto all investment choices, such as market risk, as well as specific risks inherent in particular types of investment choices that may subject your variableannuity contract to greater risk and volatility than the general market.

Before purchasing MassMutual Transitions Select, investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the variable annuity contract. For this and other information, obtain the MassMutual Transitions Select prospectus from your registered representative. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing or sending money. You may also obtain the prospectuses (or summary prospectuses, if available) for its underlying investment choices from your registered representative.

Total Returns For the Period Ending: April 30, 2018

Total Returns reflect annualized separate account expenses of 1.15% (periods prior to September 1, 2006 reflect separate account expenses of 1.25%) and all fund level expenses, including any 12(b)-1 fees. These returns do not reflect the charges for any optional contract features, contingent deferred sales charges, the annual maintenance charge, or premium taxes, if any. Their inclusion would reduce the returns shown.

Rates listed are applicable for new sales and subsequent payments. If a contract offered a guaranteed minimum interest rate different than the current applicable baseinterest rate listed, the contract holder will receive the higher of the two rates. The product, certain features and/or investment choices may not be available in all states or with all firms contracted with MassMutual.

1 Current rates on DCA Fixed Accounts are subject to change monthly. The 6-Month DCA Fixed Account rate is guaranteed for 6 months. The 12-Month DCA FixedAccount rate is guaranteed for 12 months. The 18-Month DCA Fixed Account rate is guaranteed for 18 months. These rates are credited to the respective DCA FixedAccounts and do not reflect the performance of any investment choices. Certain restrictions apply. The stated interest rate is not earned on the entire purchase paymentamount due to regular transfers to the variable investment choices that will affect the daily accrual, lowering the effective yield. Additionally, any subsequent purchase payments applied to an existing DCA Fixed Account term will participate in only the remaining portion of that DCA term, lowering the effective yield further on the subsequent purchase payments. The effective yield is based on your initial deposit after the completion of your DCA Fixed Account transfers. Dollar Cost Averaging does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market, and involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating prices. An investor should consider his/her ability to continue investing through periods of low price levels. See the appropriate product prospectus for complete details.

1 Funds offered in a fund-of-funds structure may have higher expenses than a direct investment in the underlying funds because a fund-of-funds bears its own expenses and indirectly bears its proportionate share of expenses of the underlying funds in which it invests.

2 The fund established a new class of shares, which is available with this contract, after it began its initial investment operations. The performance for the period prior to offering the new class shows the historical returns for the original class of shares, which were not subject to a 12b-1 fee. The performance shown from the inception date of the class available with this contract includes the fees and expenses of that share class, including a 12b-1 fee. A 12b-1 fee reduces a fund’s performance.

3 An investment in the Fund is neither insured nor guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or by any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to maintain a stable net asset value per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

The yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Fund than the total return quotation. It is an annualized rate based on results over thelast seven days of the period, and is net of all recurring contract fees and charges.The MML U.S. Government Money Market Fund does not have a 12b-1 fee.

4 Unavailable in contracts issued on or after May 1, 2009. For contracts issued prior to May 1, 2009, you may not allocate any new money to this fund via purchase payments or transfers.

5 Although the MML Equity Fund commenced operations on 9/15/1971, the information necessary to calculate returns is available only for 1974 and later years.

6 The historical performance shown reflects a combination of the current underlying fund’s performance, as well as the performance of a prior fund. The current fund’s performance is reflected beginning on 5/1/06. The prior fund’s performance covers the period between the date listed in the performance table and 4/30/06.

7 Effective April 29, 2011, Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund merged into Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund. Performance prior to that day reflects performance of the Invesco V.I. Financial Services Fund and performance on and after that date reflects performance of the Invesco V.I. Dividend Growth Fund.

8 The underlying MML Fund does not buy investment securities directly, but instead invests in shares of a corresponding American Funds® “master” fund, which in turn purchases investment securities. The performance of the MML Fund will be lower than the American Funds® master fund because it represents an investment in the American Funds® master fund reduced by the MML Fund's fees. The performance for the period prior to inception of the MML Fund on August 15, 2008, shows the historical returns for the American Funds® master fund adjusted to reflect the MML Fund's fees at its inception (0.70%).

9 Formerly known as MML Large Cap Value Fund. The Fund’s name, investment objective, and investment strategy changed on April 29, 2013. The performance results prior to April 29, 2013 would not necessarily have been achieved had the Fund’s current strategy been in effect during that period.

* Performance reflects share classes with 12(b)-1 fees from inception which reduces the fund’s performance. Please see the fund prospectus for more information about this fee.
