Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Policy Owners of Protective Variable Life Separate Account and
the Board of Directors of Protective Life Insurance Company:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the subaccounts listed in Appendix A that comprise Protective Variable Life Separate Account (collectively, the Separate Account), as of December 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year or period (as described in Appendix A) then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or periods (as described in Appendix A) in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes including the financial highlights in Note 6 for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended (collectively, the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each subaccount as of December 31, 2020, and the results of their operations for the year or period then ended and the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the two-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2018 were audited by other independent registered public accountants whose report dated April 22,2019, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Separate Account in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the underlying mutual funds or their transfer agents. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/KPMG LLP

We have served as the auditor of one or more of Protective Life Insurance Company's separate accounts since 2019.
