PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 is hereby amended by replacing the penultimate paragraph thereof with the following: "As previously disclosed, the Filing Parties continuously evaluate RGA's businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities and other factors deemed relevant in determining whether additional Shares will be acquired by any of the Filing Parties or whether any of the Filing Parties will dispose of Shares. At any time, depending on market conditions, the trading prices for Shares, the actions taken by the board of directors of RGA, alternative investment opportunities and the outlook for RGA, one or more of the Filing Parties may acquire additional Shares or may dispose of some or all of the Shares beneficially owned by such Filing Party, in either case in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. In this connection, MLINC publicly announced on January 31, 2005 that, in connection with an unrelated acquisition, it would consider financing that acquisition in part with the proceeds of selected asset sales, including some or all of the Shares beneficially owned by the Filing Parties. On April 22, 2005, MLINC publicly announced that it is no longer considering selling some or all of the Shares beneficially owned by the Filing Parties for the purpose of financing the acquisition." ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER Item 5 is hereby amended by replacing the first sentence of the first paragraph of Item 5(a) and (b) with the following: "(a) and (b). As of April 22, 2005, each of the Filing Parties beneficially owned 32,243,539 Shares, or approximately 51.5 percent of the outstanding Shares." Page 7 of 14 Item 5 is hereby further amended by replacing the second paragraph of Item 5(a) and (b) with the following: "The following information in this paragraph is to the best knowledge of the Filing Parties. As of April 22, 2005, A. Greig Woodring, President and Chief Executive Officer and Director of RGA and Executive Vice President of GenAm Life, beneficially owned 44,117 Shares and had sole voting and dispositive power with respect to such Shares. Mr. Woodring also has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of 272,369 shares through the exercise of options that are currently vested or will vest within 60 days after April 22, 2005."
