TRANSAMERICA EXTRA VARIABLE ANNUITY

Issued Through

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VA C

By

TRANSAMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Prospectus

May 1, 2010

This flexible premium deferred annuity policy has many investment choices. There is a separate account that currently provides a means of investing in various underlying fund portfolios. There is also a fixed account, which offers interest at rates that are guaranteed by Transamerica Life Insurance Company. You can choose any combination of these investment choices. You bear the entire investment risk for all amounts you put in the separate account.

The Company will add a credit to your policy value for each premium payment that you make. Generally, an annuity with a premium enhancement will have higher overall expenses than a similar annuity without a premium enhancement; the amount credited under the premium enhancement may be more than offset by the additional fees and charges associated with the premium enhancement. You should always consider the expenses along with the features and enhancements to be sure that any annuity meets your financial needs and goals.

This prospectus and the underlying fund prospectuses give you important information about the policies and the underlying fund portfolios. Please read them carefully before you invest and keep them for future reference.

If you would like more information about the Transamerica Extra Variable Annuity, you can obtain a free copy of the Statement of Additional Information (SAI) dated May 1, 2010. Please call us at (800) 525-6205 or write us at: Transamerica Life Insurance Company, Attention: Customer Care Group, 4333 Edgewood Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52499-0001. A registration statement, including the SAI, has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the SAI is incorporated herein by reference. More information about the variable annuity can be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You may obtain information about the operation of the public reference room by calling the SEC at 1-800-732-0330. The SEC also maintains a web site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains the prospectus, the SAI, material incorporated by reference, and other information. The table of contents of the SAI is included at the end of this prospectus.

For each premium payment you make, Transamerica will add an additional amount to your policy value, referred to as a premium enhancement.

Please note that the policies and the separate account investment choices:

 

   

are not bank deposits

 

   

are not federally insured

 

   

are not endorsed by any bank or government agency

 

   

are not guaranteed to achieve their goal

 

   

are subject to risks, including loss of premium

The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities, or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

SUMMARY

The sections in this summary correspond to sections in this prospectus, which discuss the topics in more detail.

1. THE ANNUITY POLICY

The flexible premium deferred variable annuity policy offered by Transamerica Life Insurance Company (the Company, we, us, or our) provides a way for you to invest on a tax-deferred basis in the following investment choices: various subaccounts of the separate account and the fixed account of the Company. The policy is intended to accumulate money for retirement or other long-term investment purposes.

This policy currently offers subaccounts that are listed under “Investment Choices” in this prospectus. Each subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one of the underlying fund portfolios. The policy value may depend on the investment experience of the selected subaccounts. Therefore, you bear the entire investment risk with respect to all policy value in any subaccount. You could lose the amount that you invest.

The fixed account offers an interest rate that the Company guarantees.

The policy, like all deferred annuity policies, has two phases: the “accumulation phase” and the “income phase.” During the accumulation phase, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as ordinary income when you take them out of the policy. The income phase occurs when you annuitize and begin receiving regular annuity payments from your policy. The money you can accumulate during the accumulation phase will largely determine the payments you receive during the income phase.

2. PURCHASE

The initial premium payment for nonqualified policies must be at least $5,000 or more, and at least $1,000 for qualified policies, under most circumstances. You must obtain prior Company approval to purchase a policy with an amount less than the stated minimum. You can generally add as little as $50 at any time during the accumulation phase.

3. INVESTMENT CHOICES

You can allocate your premium payments to one of several underlying fund portfolios listed under Investment Choices in this prospectus and described in the underlying fund prospectuses. Depending upon their investment performance, you can make or lose money in any of the subaccounts.

You can also allocate your premium payments to the fixed account.

We currently allow you to transfer money between any of the investment choices during the accumulation phase. We reserve the right to impose a $10 fee for each transfer in excess of 12 transfers per policy year and to impose restrictions and limitations on transfers.

Table of Contents

4. PERFORMANCE

The value of the policy will vary up or down depending upon the investment performance of the subaccounts you choose.

5. EXPENSES

Note: The following section on expenses and the Annuity Policy Fee Table and expense examples only apply to policies issued after the date of this prospectus. See “Appendix - Policy Variations” for information about older policies.

No deductions are made from premium payments at the time you buy the policy so that the full amount of each premium payment is invested in one or more of your investment choices.

We may deduct a surrender charge of up to 9% of premium payments surrendered within nine years after the premium is paid. We will calculate surrender charges by taking the earnings, if any, out before premium payments. If you select the Life with Emergency Cash® annuity payment option, then you can surrender your policy after annuity payments have begun. A surrender charge of up to 4% of adjusted policy value will apply during the first four years after the annuity commencement date.

Full surrenders, partial surrenders, and transfers from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account may also be subject to an excess interest adjustment, which may increase or decrease the amount you receive. This adjustment may also apply to amounts applied to an annuity payment option from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account prior to the end of the guaranteed period option.

We deduct daily mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges from the assets in each subaccount during the accumulation phase, at an annual rate (as a percentage of the subaccount’s value) that depend on the death benefit option that you select, as follows:

 

   

1.65% if you choose the Return of Premium Death Benefit

 

   

1.85% if you choose the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit

During the accumulation phase, we deduct an annual service charge of no more than $35 from the policy value on each policy anniversary and at the time of surrender. The charge is waived if either the policy value or the sum of all premium payments, minus all partial surrenders, is at least $100,000.

Upon full surrender, payment of a death benefit, or when annuity payments begin, we will deduct state premium taxes, if applicable. State premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3.50%, depending on the state.

If you elect the Initial Payment Guarantee feature when you annuitize, then there is a daily fee (during the income phase) currently equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net asset value in the subaccounts.

We deduct a daily fund facilitation fee from the assets in certain investment choices at an annual rate (as a percentage of the subaccount’s value) as follows:

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - Asset Allocation Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - Bond Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - Growth Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - Growth-Income Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - International Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.20% if you choose the AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy Portfolio - Class B

Table of Contents
   

0.20% if you choose the GE Investments Total Return Fund – Class 3

 

   

0.15% if you choose the Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund - Class 4

 

   

0.10 % if you choose the Transamerica BlackRock Global Allocation VP - Service Class

If you elect the Additional Death Distribution (“ADD”), then there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.25% of the policy value.

If you elect the Additional Death Distribution+ (“ADD+”), then there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.55% of the policy value.

If you elect the Living Benefits Rider, then there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.90% of the “principal back” total withdrawal base on each anniversary (“rider anniversary”) of the date the rider was elected.

If you elect the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider, there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 1.10% of the withdrawal base charged quarterly if you elect the Open Allocation option, and 0.40% to 1.25% if you elect the Designated Allocation option depending on what designated investment options you choose. For each additional option you elect with the rider, you will be charged a quarterly fee during the accumulation phase that is also a percentage of the withdrawal base; this fee is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit.

If you elect the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider, there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.40% to 1.25% depending on what designated investment options you choose. For each additional option you elect with the rider, you will be charged a quarterly fee during the accumulation phase that is also a percentage of the withdrawal base; this fee is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit.

The value of the net assets of the subaccounts will reflect the management fee and other expenses incurred by the underlying fund portfolios.

6. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can generally take out $500 or more anytime during the accumulation phase (except under certain qualified policies).

You may generally take out up to the free amount free of surrender charges. Amounts surrendered in excess of this free amount may be subject to a surrender charge and an excess interest adjustment. You may have to pay income tax and a tax penalty on any money you take out.

If you have policy value in the fixed account, you may take out any cumulative interest credited free of excess interest adjustments.

Access to amounts held in qualified policies may be restricted or prohibited by law or regulation or the terms of the policy.

Surrenders are not generally permitted during the income phase unless you elect the Life with Emergency Cash® annuity payment option.

Partial surrenders will reduce your policy value. Depending on its amount and timing, a partial surrender may considerably reduce or eliminate some of the benefits and guarantees provided by your Contract. You should carefully consider whether a partial surrender under a particular circumstance will have a negative impact to your benefits or guarantees. The impact of partial and full surrenders (generally) on your benefits and guarantees is discussed in the corresponding sections of the prospectus describing such benefits and guarantees.

Table of Contents

7. ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

The policy allows you to receive income under one of several annuity payment options. You may choose from fixed payment options, variable payment options, or a combination of both. If you select a variable payment option, then the dollar amount of your annuity payments may go up or down. However, the Initial Payment Guarantee is available for an extra fee and it guarantees a minimum amount for each variable annuity payment.

8. DEATH BENEFIT

If the sole annuitant dies before the income phase begins, then the beneficiary will generally receive a death benefit. If the owner is not the annuitant, then no death benefit is paid if the owner dies; however required distribution rules require that the policy value be distributed upon the death of any owner.

Naming different persons as owner and annuitant can affect to whom and whether amounts will be paid. Use care when naming owners, annuitants and beneficiaries, and consult your agent if you have questions.

When you purchase a policy you may generally choose an optional guaranteed minimum death benefit:

 

   

Annual Step-Up Death Benefit

Charges are lower if you do not choose an optional guaranteed minimum death benefit.

After the policy is issued, a guaranteed minimum death benefit cannot be added, and the death benefit cannot be changed.

9. TAXES

Earnings, if any, are generally not taxed until taken out. If you take money out of a nonqualified policy during the accumulation phase, earnings come out first for federal tax purposes, and are taxed as ordinary income. For nonqualified and certain qualified policies, payments during the income phase may be considered partly a return of your original investment so that part of each payment may not be taxable as income. For qualified policies, payments during the income phase are, in many cases, considered as all taxable income. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may incur a 10% federal penalty tax on the taxable earnings.

10. ADDITIONAL FEATURES

This policy has additional features that might interest you. These features may not be available for all policies, may vary for certain policies, may not each be available in combination with other optional benefits under the policy, and may not be suitable for your particular situation.

These features include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

   

You can arrange to have money automatically sent to you monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually while your policy is in the accumulation phase. This feature is referred to as the “Systematic Payout Option” (“SPO”). Amounts you receive may be included in your gross income, and in certain circumstances, may be subject to penalty taxes.

 

   

You can elect an optional feature at the time of annuitization that guarantees your variable annuity payments will never be less than a percentage of the initial variable annuity

payment. This feature is called the “Initial Payment Guarantee” (“IPG”). There is an extra charge for this feature.

 

   

You may elect one of two optional riders that might pay an additional amount on top of the policy death benefit, in certain circumstances. These features are called the “Additional Death Distribution” (“ADD”) and “Additional Death Distribution+” (“ADD+”). There is an extra charge for these riders.

 

   

Under certain medically related circumstances, you may surrender all or part of the policy value without any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment. This feature is called the “Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option.”

 

   

Under certain unemployment circumstances, you may surrender all or a portion of the policy value free of any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment. This feature is called the “Unemployment Waiver.”

 

   

You may generally make transfers and/or change the allocation of additional premium payments by telephone. We may restrict or eliminate this feature.

 

   

You can arrange to automatically transfer money (at least $500 per transfer) monthly or quarterly from certain investment choices into one or more subaccounts. This feature is known as “Dollar Cost Averaging.”

 

   

We will, upon your request, automatically transfer amounts among the subaccounts on a regular basis to maintain a desired allocation of the policy value among the various subaccounts. This feature is called “Asset Rebalancing.”

 

   

You may elect to purchase an optional rider which provides you with a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit and a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. This feature is called the “Living Benefits Rider.” If you elect this rider, we will monitor your policy value and, as we deem necessary to support the guarantees under the rider, may transfer amounts back and forth between investment choices that we designate and the variable investment choices that you have selected. You may lose the benefit of this rider if you take “excess” withdrawals. There is an extra charge for this rider.

 

   

You may elect to purchase an optional rider which provides you with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. This feature is called the “Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider.” If you elect the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider, you must allocate 100% of your policy value according to either the Designated Allocation option or the Open Allocation option and meet other conditions. (See “Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 - Allocation Options and Restrictions”.) You may lose the benefit of this rider if you take “excess” withdrawals. There is an extra charge for this rider.

 

   

You may elect to purchase an optional rider which provides you with a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit. This feature is called the “Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider.” If you elect the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider, you must allocate 100% of your policy value to one or more “designated investment option(s).” (See “Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 - Designated Investment Options”.) You may lose the benefit of this rider if you take “excess” withdrawals. There is an extra charge for this rider.

11. OTHER INFORMATION

Right to Cancel Period. You may return your policy for a refund, but only if you return it within a prescribed period, which is generally 10 days (after you receive the policy), or whatever longer time may be required by state law. The amount of the refund will generally be the premiums paid plus or minus accumulated gains or losses in the separate account; if state law requires, we will refund your original premium payment(s). The policy will then be deemed void.

Table of Contents

No Probate. Usually, the person receiving the death benefit under this policy will not have to go through probate. State laws vary on how the amount that may be paid is treated for estate tax purposes.

Who should purchase the Policy? This policy is designed for people seeking long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets, generally for retirement or other long-term purposes; and for persons who have maximized their use of other retirement savings methods, such as 401(k) plans. The tax-deferred feature is most attractive to people in high federal and state tax brackets. The tax deferral features of variable annuities are unnecessary when purchased to fund a qualified plan. You should not buy this policy if you are looking for a short-term investment, market timing, or if you cannot take the risk of losing money that you put in.

There are various fees and charges associated with variable annuities. You should consider whether the features and benefits of this policy, unique to variable annuities, such as the opportunity for lifetime income payments, a guaranteed death benefit, the guaranteed level of certain charges, and additional features, make this policy appropriate for your needs.

State Variations. Policies issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this prospectus because of state law variations. These differences include, among other things, free look rights, issue age limitations, and the general availability of riders. This prospectus describes the material rights and obligations of a policy owner, and the maximum fees and charges for all policy features and benefits are set forth in the fee table of this prospectus. See your policy for specific variations because any such state variations will be included in your policy or in riders or endorsements attached to your policy. See your agent or contact us for specific information that is applicable to your state.

Old Policies. This prospectus generally describes policies issued after the date of this prospectus. See “Appendix - Policy Variations” for information on how older policies have different features and requirements, and sometimes different fees and deductions.

Financial Statements. Financial Statements for the Company and the subaccounts are in the SAI. Condensed financial information for the subaccounts (those in operation by year end December 31, 2009, if any) are in “Appendix – Condensed Financial Information” to this prospectus.

The following Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the policy with the cost of investing in other variable annuity policies. These costs include policy owner transaction expenses, policy fees, separate account annual expenses, and portfolio fees and expenses.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the policy for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, the highest fees and expenses of any of the portfolios for the year ended December 31, 2009, and the base policy with the combination of available optional features or riders with the highest fees and expenses, including the Highest Fund Facilitation Fee, Annual Step-Up Death Benefit, Additional Death Distribution+ Rider, and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider - Joint Life with additional Death Benefit and Income Enhancement options. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Examples:

If the policy is surrendered at the end of the applicable time period:

 

1 Year

   $ 2444

3 Years

   $ 5051

5 Years

   $ 7124

10 Years

   $ 10,603

If the policy is annuitized at the end of the applicable time period or if you do not surrender your policy:

 

1 Year

   $ 1634

3 Years

   $ 4421

5 Years

   $ 6674

10 Years

   $ 10,603

Please remember that the Example is an illustration and does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be lower or higher than those reflected in the Example. Similarly, your rate of return may be more or less than the 5% assumed in the Example.

For information concerning compensation paid for the sale of the policies, see “Distributor of the Policies.”

NOTES TO FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES

Annuity Policy Fee Table and Expense Examples: The fee table applies only to the accumulation phase and reflects the maximum charges unless otherwise noted. During the income phase the fees may be different than those described in the Fee Table. See section “5. Expenses”.

Policy Owner Transaction Expenses:

Maximum Surrender Charge: The surrender charge, if any is imposed, applies to each premium, regardless of how policy value is allocated among the investment choices. The surrender charge decreases based on the number of years since the premium payment was made.

If you select the Life with Emergency Cash® annuity payment option, you will be subject to a surrender charge after the annuity commencement date. See section “5. Expenses”.

Table of Contents

Transfer Fee: The transfer fee, if any is imposed, applies to each policy, regardless of how policy value is allocated among the investment choices. There is no fee for the first 12 transfers per policy year. For additional transfers, the Company may charge a fee of $10 per transfer.

Special Service Fees: We may deduct a charge for special services, such as overnight delivery.

Annual Service Charge:

Annual Service Charge: The annual service charge is assessed on each policy anniversary and at surrender. The charge is waived if your policy value, or the sum of your premiums less all partial surrenders, is at least $100,000.

Separate Account Annual Expenses:

Mortality and Expense Risk Fee: The mortality and expense risk fee shown is for the accumulation phase with the base death benefit.

Optional Separate Account Expenses: Any optional separate account expense is in addition to the mortality and expense risk and administrative fees.

Fund Facilitation Fee: This daily fee is applied only to policy value in the subaccounts invested in the American Funds - Asset Allocation Fund - Class 2 (0.30%), American Funds - Bond Fund - Class 2 (0.30%), American Funds - Growth Fund - Class 2 (0.30%), American Funds - Growth-Income Fund - Class 2 (0.30%), American Funds - International Fund - Class 2 (0.30%), AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy Portfolio - Class B (0.20%), GE Investments Total Return Fund - Class 3 (0.20%), the Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund - Class 4 (0.15%), and the Transamerica BlackRock Global Allocation VP - Service Class (0.10%).

The death benefits are mutually exclusive.

Optional Rider Fees:

Optional Rider Fees: In some cases, riders to the policy are available that provide optional benefits. There are additional fees (each year) for those riders.

Additional Death Distribution Rider and Additional Death Distribution+ Rider: This annual fee is a percentage of the policy value and is only deducted during the accumulation phase.

Living Benefits Rider: The annual fee is a percentage of the “principal back” Total Withdrawal Base.

Table of Contents

1. THE ANNUITY POLICY

This prospectus describes the Transamerica Extra Variable Annuity policy offered by the Company. This prospectus generally describes policies issued on or after the date of this prospectus. Policies issued before that date may have different features (such as different death benefits or annuity payment options) and different charges. See “Appendix - Policy Variations” for information about older policies.

An annuity is a contract between you, the owner, and an insurance company (in this case the Company), where the insurance company promises to pay you an income in the form of annuity payments. These payments begin on a designated date, referred to as the annuity commencement date. Until the annuity commencement date, your annuity is in the accumulation phase and the earnings (if any) are tax deferred. Tax deferral means you generally are not taxed until you take money out of your annuity. After you annuitize, your annuity switches to the income phase.

The policy is a flexible premium deferred variable annuity. You can use the policy to accumulate funds for retirement or other long-term financial planning purposes. Your individual investment and your rights are determined primarily by your own policy.

The policy is a “flexible premium” annuity because after you purchase it, you can generally make additional investments of $50 or more until the annuity commencement date. You are not required to make any additional investments.

The policy is a “variable” annuity because the value of your investments can go up or down based on the performance of your investment choices. If you invest in the separate account, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your policy during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of your investment choices. You could lose the amount you allocate to the separate account. The amount of annuity payments you receive during the income phase from the separate account also depends upon the investment performance of your investment choices for the income phase. However, if you annuitize under the Initial Payment Guarantee feature, then you will receive stabilized annuity payments that will never be less than a percentage of your initial variable annuity payment. There is an extra charge for this feature.

The policy also contains a fixed account. The fixed account offers interest at rates that we guarantee will not decrease during the selected guaranteed period. There may be different interest rates for each different guaranteed period that you select.

2. PURCHASE

Policy Issue Requirements

The Company will not issue a policy unless:

 

   

the Company receives in good order (at our Administrative and Service Office) all information needed to issue the policy;

 

   

the Company receives in good order (at our Administrative and Service Office) a minimum initial premium payment; and

 

   

the annuitant, owner, and any joint owner are age 85 or younger (the limit may be lower for qualified policies).

We reserve the right to reject any application or premium payment.

Premium Payments

You should make checks for premium payments payable only to Transamerica Life Insurance Company and send them to the Administrative and Service Office. Your check must be honored in order for us to pay any associated payments and benefits due under the policy.

 

19


Table of Contents

We do not accept cash. We reserve the right to not accept third party checks. A third party check is a check that is made payable to one person who endorses it and offers it as payment to a second person. Checks should normally be payable to Transamerica Life Insurance Company, however, in some circumstances, at our discretion we may accept third party checks that are from a rollover or transfer from other financial institutions. Any third party checks not accepted by our company will be returned.

We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. Any unacceptable forms of payment will be returned.

Initial Premium Requirements

The initial premium payment for nonqualified policies must be at least $5,000, and at least $1,000 for qualified policies. You must obtain prior company approval to purchase a policy with an amount less than the stated minimum. There is generally no minimum initial premium payment for policies issued under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code; however, your premium must be received within 90 days of the policy date or your policy will be canceled. We will credit your initial premium payment to your policy within two business days after the day we receive it and your complete policy information at our administrative and service office. If we are unable to credit your initial premium payment, we will contact you within five business days and explain why. We will also return your initial premium payment at that time unless you let us keep it and credit it as soon as possible.

The date on which we credit your initial premium payment to your policy is generally the policy date. The policy date is used to determine policy years, policy months and policy anniversaries.

There may be delays in our receipt of applications that are outside of our control (for example, because of the failure of the selling broker/dealer or sales agent to forward the application to us promptly, or because of delays in determining whether the policy is suitable for you). Any such delays will affect when your policy can be issued and your premium allocated among your investment choices.

Additional Premium Payments

You are not required to make any additional premium payments. However, you can generally make additional premium payments as often as you like during the accumulation phase. Additional premium payments must be at least $50. We will credit additional premium payments to your policy as of the business day we receive your premium and required information in good order at our Administrative and Service Office. Additional premium payments must be received before the close of a regular business session of the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) to get same-day pricing of the additional premium payment.

Maximum Total Premium Payments

For issue ages 0-80, we reserve the right to reject cumulative premium payments over $1,000,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for policies with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate. For issue ages over 80, we reserve the right to reject cumulative premium payments over $500,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for policies with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate.

Allocation of Premium Payments

When you purchase a policy, we will allocate your premium payment to the investment choices you select. Your allocation must be in whole percentages

 

20


Table of Contents

and must total 100%. We will allocate additional premium payments the same way, unless you request a different allocation.

If you allocate premium payments to the Dollar Cost Averaging program, you must give us instructions regarding the subaccount(s) to which transfers are to be made or we cannot accept your premium payment.

You may change allocations for future additional premium payments by sending written instructions to our Administrative and Service Office, or by telephone, subject to the limitations described under “Telephone Transactions”. The allocation change will apply to premium payments received on or after the date we receive the change request in good order.

You could lose the amount you allocate to the variable subaccounts.

The Company reserves the right to restrict or refuse any premium payment.

Policy Value

You should expect your policy value to change from valuation period to valuation period. A valuation period begins at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each business day and ends at the close of regular trading on the next succeeding business day. A business day is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. The New York Stock Exchange generally closes at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Holidays are generally not business days.

Premium Enhancement

An amount equal to the applicable percentage (as set forth below) of the initial premium payment will be added to the policy value. The amount of the premium enhancement is not considered a premium payment and therefore may not be included in the calculation of certain policy features (such as certain death benefits) or in the calculation of fees and charges that are based on premium payments made. The premium enhancement percentage may vary from premium to premium on subsequent premium payments, but will never be less than 0.25% nor more than 7%. A confirmation will be sent advising the owner of the amount of premium enhancement applicable to each subsequent premium payment. No premium enhancement will apply if the policy is canceled pursuant to the right to cancel provision.

The premium enhancement percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age at the time of each premium payment. The percentage will decrease as the annuitant’s attained age increases. The following schedule shows the current premium enhancement percentages:

 

Annuitant’s Age

  

Premium

Enhancement

Percentage

0-59

   5.5%

60-69

   5.0%

70-79

   4.0%

80+

   2.0%

These percentages are not guaranteed: As noted above, these percentages may change to as little as 0.25%.

Generally, an annuity with a premium enhancement may have higher expenses than a similar annuity without a premium enhancement. Accordingly, you should always consider the expenses along with the features and enhancements to be sure any annuity meets your financial needs and goals.

There is no specific charge for the premium enhancement. Transamerica expects to use a portion of the mortality and expense risk fee, administrative charge and/or the surrender charge to pay the premium enhancement.

 

21


Table of Contents

Transamerica may take back or “recapture” the full dollar amount of any premium enhancement upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

   

exercise of the right to cancel option;

 

   

exercise of the Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement;

 

   

a death benefit is payable within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement; or

 

   

annuitization within one year from the time we apply the premium enhancement.

In certain unusual circumstances, you might be worse off because of the premium enhancement. This could happen if we recapture the dollar amount of the premium enhancement and the overall investment performance of your policy was negative (if the overall investment performance of your policy was positive you would be better off).

The Internal Revenue Code generally requires that interests in a qualified policy be nonforfeitable, and it is unclear whether the premium enhancement feature is consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax advisor before purchasing this policy as a qualified policy.

The premium enhancement may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies.

NOTES TO VARIABLE INVESTMENT CHOICES

Some subaccounts may be available for certain policies and may not be available for all policies. You should work with your registered representative to decide which subaccount(s) may be appropriate for you based on a thorough analysis of your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons, and risk tolerance.

There can be no assurance that the Transamerica Money Market VP - Service Class portfolio will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share. During extended periods of low interest rates, and partly as a result of policy charges, the yield on the Transamerica Money Market VP - Service Class subaccount may become extremely low and possibly negative.

Transamerica Series Trust - Service Class - As of May 1, 2003, new policyholders may only invest in the Service Class subaccounts. The Initial Class subaccounts are only available to policyholders that purchased the policy before May 1, 2003.

Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value VP - Initial Class

The general public may not purchase shares of any of these underlying fund portfolios. The names and investment objectives and policies may be similar to other portfolios managed by the same investment advisor or manager that are sold directly to the public. You should not expect the investment results of the underlying fund portfolios to be the same as those of other portfolios.

More detailed information, including an explanation of the portfolios’ fees and investment objectives, may be found in the current prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios, which accompany this prospectus. You should read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios carefully before you invest.

Selection of Underlying Portfolios

The underlying fund portfolios offered through this product are selected by the Company, and the Company may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the

 

25


Table of Contents

capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund portfolio or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates. For additional information about these arrangements, see “Revenue We Receive.” We review the portfolios periodically and may remove a portfolio, or limit its availability to new premiums and/or transfers of cash value if we determine that a portfolio no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We have included the Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”) underlying fund portfolios at least in part because they are managed by one of our affiliates, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”).

We have developed this variable annuity product in cooperation with one or more distributors, and have included certain underlying fund portfolios based on their recommendations; their selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria.

You are responsible for choosing the subaccounts which invest in the underlying fund portfolios, and the amounts allocated to each, that are appropriate for your own individual circumstances and your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Because investment risk is borne by you, decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered.

In making your investment selections, we encourage you to thoroughly investigate all of the information regarding the underlying fund portfolios that are available to you, including each underlying fund portfolio’s prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports. Other sources such as the Fund’s website or newspapers and financial and other magazines provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a Fund or underlying fund portfolio. After you select underlying fund portfolios for your initial premium, you should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.

You bear the risk of any decline in the cash value of your policy resulting from the performance of the underlying fund portfolios you have chosen.

We do not recommend or endorse any particular underlying fund portfolio and we do not provide investment advice.

We do not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to make certain changes to the separate account and its investments. We reserve the right to add new portfolios [or portfolio classes], close existing portfolios [or portfolio classes], or substitute portfolio shares that are held by any subaccount for shares of a different portfolio. We will not add, delete or substitute any underlying fund portfolio shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.

We reserve the right to limit the number of subaccounts you are invested in at any one time.

Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investments

The Company cannot and does not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. The Company retains the right, subject to any applicable law, to make certain changes in the separate account and its investments. The Company reserves the right to eliminate the shares of any portfolio held by a subaccount and to substitute shares of another portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios, or of another registered open-end management investment

Table of Contents

company for the shares of any portfolio, if the shares of the portfolio are no longer available for investment or if, in the Company’s judgment, investment in any portfolio would be inappropriate in view of the purposes of the separate account. To the extent required by the 1940 Act, as amended, substitutions of shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount will not be made without prior notice to you and the prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Nothing contained herein shall prevent the separate account from purchasing other securities for other series or classes of variable annuity policies, or from affecting an exchange between series or classes of variable annuity policies on the basis of your requests.

New subaccounts may be established when, in the sole discretion of the Company, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant. Any new subaccounts may be made available to existing owners on a basis to be determined by the Company. Each additional subaccount will purchase shares in a mutual fund portfolio, or other investment vehicle. The Company may also eliminate one or more subaccounts if, in its sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant such change. In the event any subaccount is eliminated, the Company will notify you and request a reallocation of the amounts invested in the eliminated subaccount.

Similarly, the Company may, at its discretion, close a subaccount to new investment (either transfers or premium payments). Any amounts that would otherwise be invested in a closed subaccount (for premium allocations, portfolio rebalancing, dollar cost averaging, automatic checking account or payroll deductions for period premiums, etc.) will, if you do not provide instructions for a new allocation be invested in the subaccount that invests in a portfolio of money market instruments. If a portfolio of money market instruments is unavailable, the Company will reinvest the amounts in another subaccount, or in the fixed account, if appropriate.

In the event of any such substitution or change, the Company may, by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in the policies as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. Furthermore, if deemed to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the policies, the separate account may be (1) operated as a management company under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law, (2) deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required or (3) combined with one or more other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company also may (1) transfer the assets of the separate account associated with the policies to another account or accounts, (2) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of owners or other persons who have voting rights as to the separate account, (3) create new separate accounts, (4) add new subaccounts to or remove existing subaccounts from the separate account, or combine subaccounts, or (5) add new underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new fund for an existing fund.

The Fixed Account

Premium payments allocated and amounts transferred to the fixed account become part of the Company’s general account. Interests in the general account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), nor is the general account registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts. Disclosures relating to interests in the general account may, however, be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy of statements made in a registration statement.

While we do not guarantee that the fixed account will always be available for investment, we do guarantee that the interest credited to the fixed

 

27


Table of Contents

account will not be less than the guaranteed minimum effective annual interest rate shown on your policy (the “guaranteed minimum”). We determine credited rates, which are guaranteed for at least one year, in our sole discretion. You bear the risk that we will not credit interest greater than the guaranteed minimum. At the end of the guaranteed period option you selected, the value in that guaranteed period option will automatically be transferred into a new guaranteed period option of the same length (or the next shorter period if the same period is no longer offered) at the current interest rate for that period. You can transfer to another investment choice by giving us notice within 30 days before the end of the expiring guaranteed period.

Full and partial surrenders and transfers from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account are generally subject to an excess interest adjustment (except at the end of the guaranteed period). This adjustment will also be made to amounts that you apply to an annuity payment option. This adjustment may increase or decrease the amount of interest credited to your policy. The excess interest adjustment will not decrease the interest credited to your policy below the guaranteed minimum.

We also guarantee that upon full surrender your cash value attributable to the fixed account will not be less than the amount required by the applicable nonforfeiture law at the time the policy is issued.

If you select the fixed account, your money will be placed with the Company’s other general assets. The amount of money you are able to accumulate in the fixed account during the accumulation phase depends upon the total interest credited. The amount of each annuity payment you receive during the income phase from the fixed portion of your policy will remain level for the entire income phase.

We reserve the right to refuse any premium payment or transfer to the fixed account.

Transfers

During the accumulation phase, you may make transfers to or from any investment choice within certain limitations.

Transfers out of a guaranteed period option of the fixed account are limited to the following:

 

   

Transfers at the end of a guaranteed period. No excess interest adjustment will apply.

 

   

Transfers of amounts equal to interest credited. This may affect your overall interest-crediting rate, because transfers are deemed to come from the oldest premium payment first.

 

   

Other than at the end of a guaranteed period, transfers of amounts from the guaranteed period option in excess of amounts equal to interest credited, are subject to an excess interest adjustment. If it is a negative adjustment, the maximum amount you can transfer in any one policy year is 25% of the amount in that guaranteed period option, less any previous transfers during the current policy year. If it is a positive adjustment, we do not limit the amount that you can transfer.

Each transfer must be at least $500, or the entire subaccount value. Transfers of interest from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account must be at least $50. If less than $500 remains as a result of the transfer, then we reserve the right to include that amount in the transfer. Transfer requests must be received in good order at our Administrative and Service Office while the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading to get same-day pricing of the transaction.

The number of transfers permitted may be limited and a $10 charge for each transfer in excess of 12 in any policy year may apply. We reserve the right to prohibit transfers to the fixed account.

 

28


Table of Contents

During the income phase, you may transfer values out of any subaccount; however, you cannot transfer values out of the fixed account. The minimum amount that can be transferred during this phase is the lesser of $10 of monthly income, or the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the subaccount from which the transfer is being made.

Transfers made by telephone are subject to the limitations described below under “Telephone Transactions.”

Market Timing and Disruptive Trading

Statement of Policy. This variable insurance product was not designed for the use of market timers or frequent or disruptive traders. (Frequent transfers are considered to be disruptive.) Such transfers may be harmful to the underlying fund portfolios and increase transaction costs.

Market timing and disruptive trading among the subaccounts or between the subaccounts and the fixed account can cause risks with adverse effects for other policy owners (and beneficiaries and underlying fund portfolios). These risks and harmful effects include:

 

(1) dilution of the interests of long-term investors in a subaccount if purchases or transfers into or out of an underlying fund portfolio are made at prices that do not reflect an accurate value for the underlying fund portfolio’s investments (some market timers attempt to do this through methods known as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”);

 

(2) an adverse effect on portfolio management, such as:

 

  (a) impeding a portfolio manager’s ability to sustain an investment objective;

 

  (b) causing the underlying fund portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case; or

 

  (c) causing an underlying fund portfolio to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals or transfers out of the underlying fund portfolio; and

 

(3) increased brokerage and administrative expenses.

These costs are borne by all policy owners invested in those subaccounts, not just those making the transfers.

We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and disruptive trading (which vary for certain subaccounts at the request of the corresponding underlying fund portfolios) and we do not make special arrangements or grant exceptions to accommodate market timing or potentially disruptive trading. As discussed herein, we cannot detect or deter all market timing or potentially disruptive trading. Do not invest with us if you intend to conduct market timing or potentially disruptive trading.

Detection. We employ various means in an attempt to detect and deter market timing and disruptive trading. However, despite our monitoring we may not be able to detect nor halt all harmful trading. In addition, because other insurance companies (and retirement plans) with different policies and procedures may invest in the underlying fund portfolios, we cannot guarantee that all harmful trading will be detected or that an underlying fund portfolio will not suffer harm from market timing and disruptive trading among subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies or retirement plans.

Deterrence. If we determine you are engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, we may take one or more actions in an attempt to halt such trading. Your ability to make transfers is subject to modification or restriction if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other policy owners (or others having an interest in the variable insurance products).

 

29


Table of Contents

As described below, restrictions may take various forms, but under our current policies and procedures will include loss of expedited transfer privileges. We consider transfers by telephone, fax, overnight mail, or the Internet to be “expedited” transfers. This means that we would accept only written transfer requests with an original signature transmitted to us only by U.S. mail. We may also restrict the transfer privileges of others acting on your behalf, including your registered representative or an asset allocation or investment advisory service.

We reserve the right to reject any premium payment or transfer request from any person without prior notice, if, in our judgment, (1) the payment or transfer, or series of transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund portfolio’s operations, or (2) if an underlying fund portfolio would reject or has rejected our purchase order or has instructed us not to allow that purchase or transfer, or (3) because of a history of market timing or disruptive trading. We may impose other restrictions on transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any owner who, in our view, has abused, or appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege on a case-by-case basis. We may, at any time and without prior notice, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, impose holding period requirements or limit the number, size, frequency, manner, or timing of transfers we permit. Because determining whether to impose any such special restrictions depends on our judgement and discretion, it is possible that some policy owners could engage in disruptive trading that is not permitted for others. We also reserve the right to reverse a potentially harmful transfer if an underlying fund portfolio refuses or reverses our order; in such instances some policy owners may be treated differently than others in that some transfers may be reversed and others allowed. For all of these purposes, we may aggregate two or more variable insurance products that we believe are connected.

Please note: If you engage a third party investment advisor for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of your investment advisor in providing these services.

In addition to our internal policies and procedures, we will administer your variable insurance product to comply with any applicable state, federal, and other regulatory requirements concerning transfers. We reserve the right to implement, administer, and charge you for any fee or restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by any underlying fund portfolio. To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the underlying fund portfolios.

Under our current policies and procedures, we do not:

 

   

impose redemption fees on transfers; or

 

   

expressly limit the number or size of transfers in a given period except for certain subaccounts where an underlying fund portfolio has advised us to prohibit certain transfers that exceed a certain size; or

 

   

provide a certain number of allowable transfers in a given period.

Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions may be more or less successful than ours in deterring market timing or other disruptive trading and in preventing or limiting harm from such trading.

In the absence of a prophylactic transfer restriction (e.g., expressly limiting the number of trades within a given period or limiting trades by their size), it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before it is detected and steps taken to deter it (although some level of market timing and disruptive trading can occur even with a prophylactic transfer restriction). As noted above, we do not impose a prophylactic transfer restriction and,

 

30


Table of Contents

therefore, it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before we are able to detect it and take steps in an attempt to deter it.

Please note that the limits and restrictions described herein are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity. Our ability to detect market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as by our ability to predict strategies employed by policy owners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection. As a result, despite our efforts to prevent harmful trading activity among the variable investment choices available under this variable insurance product, there is no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter market timing or disruptive trading by such policy owners or intermediaries acting on their behalf. Moreover, our ability to discourage and restrict market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by decisions of state regulatory bodies and court orders that we cannot predict.

Furthermore, we may revise our policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate (1) to better detect and deter harmful trading that may adversely affect other policy owners, other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products, or underlying fund shareholders generally, (2) to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, or (3) to impose additional or alternative restrictions on owners engaging in market timing or disruptive trading among the investment choices under the variable insurance product. In addition, we may not honor transfer requests if any variable investment choice that would be affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of its corresponding underlying fund portfolio.

Underlying Fund Portfolio Frequent Trading Policies. The underlying fund portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. Underlying fund portfolios may, for example, assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for less than a certain period of time. The prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios describe any such policies and procedures. The frequent trading policies and procedures of an underlying fund portfolio may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other underlying fund portfolios and the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance products to discourage market timing and disruptive trading. Policy owners should be aware that we may not have the contractual ability or the operational capacity to monitor policy owners’ transfer requests and apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective underlying funds that would be affected by the transfers. Accordingly, policy owners and other persons who have material rights under our variable insurance products should assume that any protection they may have against potential harm from market timing and disruptive trading is the protection, if any, provided by the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance products to discourage market timing and disruptive trading in certain subaccounts.

Policy owners should be aware that we are required to provide to an underlying fund portfolio or its designee, promptly upon request, certain information about the trading activity of individual policy owners, and to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific policy owners identified by an underlying fund portfolio as violating the frequent trading policies established for the portfolio.

Omnibus Orders. Policy owners and other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products also should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the underlying fund portfolios generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans and separate accounts funding variable insurance products. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of

 

31


Table of Contents

multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and individual owners of variable insurance products. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the underlying fund portfolios’ ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures. We cannot guarantee that the underlying fund portfolios will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans or other insurance companies that may invest in the underlying fund portfolios. These other insurance companies are responsible for their own policies and procedures regarding frequent transfer activity. If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage harmful transfer activity, it will affect other owners of underlying fund portfolio shares, as well as the owners of all of the variable annuity or life insurance policies, including ours, whose variable investment choices correspond to the affected underlying fund portfolios. In addition, if an underlying fund portfolio believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from owners engaged in market timing and disruptive trading, the underlying fund portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby delay or prevent us from implementing your request.

4. PERFORMANCE

The Company periodically advertises performance of the various subaccounts. Performance figures might not reflect charges for options, riders, or endorsements. We may disclose at least three different kinds of non-standard performance. First, we may calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number reflects the deduction of the mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable premium taxes, surrender charges, or fees for any optional riders or endorsements. Any such deduction would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.

Second, advertisements may also include total return figures, which reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges. These figures may also include or exclude surrender charges. These figures may also reflect the premium enhancement, if any.

Third, for certain investment portfolios, performance may be shown for the period commencing from the inception date of the investment portfolio (i.e., before commencement of subaccount operations). These figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of the subaccounts.

Not all types of performance data presented reflect all of the fees and charges that may be deducted (such as fees for optional benefits); performance figures would be lower if these charges were included.

5. EXPENSES

Note: The following section on expenses and the Annuity Policy Fee Table and Expense Examples only apply to policies issued after the date of this prospectus. See “Appendix - Policy Variations” for information about older policies.

There are charges and expenses associated with your policy that reduce the return on your investment in the policy.

Surrender Charges

During the accumulation phase, you can surrender part or all of the cash value (restrictions may apply to qualified policies). We may apply a surrender charge to compensate us for expenses relating to sales, including commissions to registered representatives and other promotional expenses.

 

32


Table of Contents

You can surrender up to the greater of (i) 10% of your premium payments or (ii) any gains in the policy once each year free of surrender charges. This amount is referred to as the free amount and is determined at the time of surrender. (The free amount is not cumulative, so not surrendering anything in one year does not increase the surrender charge free amount in subsequent years.) If the surrender is in excess of this free amount, you might have to pay a surrender charge, which is a contingent deferred sales charge, on the excess amount.

The following schedule shows the surrender charges that apply during the nine years following payment of each premium payment:

 

Number of Years Since Premium Payment Date

   Surrender Charge
(as a  percentage of
premium surrendered)
 

0 - 1

more than 9

For example, assume your premium is $100,000 and your policy value is $106,000 at the beginning of the second policy year and you surrender $30,000. Since that amount is more than your free amount ($10,000), you would pay a surrender charge of $1,600 on the remaining $20,000 [8% of ($30,000 - $10,000)].

Likewise, assume your policy value is $80,000 (premium payments $100,000) at the beginning of the second policy year and you surrender your policy. You would pay a surrender charge of $7,200 [8% of ($100,000 - ($100,000 x 10%))].

You can generally choose to receive the full amount of a requested partial surrender by directing us to deduct any applicable surrender charge (and any applicable excess interest adjustment) from your remaining policy value. You receive your cash value upon full surrender.

For surrender charge purposes, earnings are considered to be surrendered first, then the oldest premium is considered to be surrendered next.

Surrender charges are waived if you surrender money under the Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver.

Keep in mind that surrenders may be taxable and, if made before age 59 1/2, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. For tax purposes, surrenders from nonqualified policies are considered to come from taxable earnings first.

Life with Emergency Cash® Surrender Charge

If you select the Life with Emergency Cash® annuity payment option, then you can surrender your policy even after annuity payments have begun. However, there is a surrender charge during the first four years after the annuity commencement date (no matter which policy or variation thereof you previously purchased). The following schedule shows the current surrender charge:

 

Number of Years Since Annuity Commencement Date

   Surrender Charge
(as a  percentage of
adjusted policy value)
 

0 – 1

   4

1 – 2

   3

2 – 3

   2

3 – 4

   1

more than 4

   0

We can change the surrender charge, and you will be subject to whatever surrender schedule is in effect at the time you annuitize under the Life with Emergency Cash® annuity payment option.

 

33


Table of Contents

Note carefully the following three things about this surrender charge:

 

   

this surrender charge is measured from the annuity commencement date and not from the premium payment date;

 

   

this surrender charge is a percentage of the adjusted policy value applied to the Life with Emergency Cash ® annuity payment option, and not a percentage of premium; and

 

   

under this payment option, there is no surrender charge free amount.

Excess Interest Adjustment

Surrenders and transfers from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. This adjustment could retroactively reduce the interest credited in the fixed account to the guaranteed minimum or increase the amount credited. This adjustment may also apply to amounts applied to an annuity payment option. Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” for an example showing the effect of a hypothetical excess interest adjustment calculation.

Mortality and Expense Risk Fees

We charge a fee as compensation for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the policy. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of each subaccount. Examples of such risks include a guarantee of annuity rates, the death benefit, certain expenses of the policy, and assuming the risk that the current charges will be insufficient in the future to cover costs of administering the policy. We may also pay distribution expenses out of this charge.

During the accumulation phase:

 

   

For the Return of Premium Death Benefit, the daily mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.50%.

 

   

For the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit, the daily mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.70%.

During the income phase, the mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.10%.

If this charge does not cover our actual costs, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if the charge more than covers actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from this charge. We may use any profit for any proper purpose, including distribution expenses.

Premium Taxes

Some states assess premium taxes on the premium payments you make. We currently do not deduct for these taxes at the time you make a premium payment. However, we will deduct the total amount of premium taxes, if any, from the policy value when:

 

   

you begin receiving annuity payments;

 

   

you surrender the policy; or

 

   

a death benefit is paid.

State premium taxes currently range from 0% to 3.50%, depending on the state.

Federal, State and Local Taxes

We may in the future deduct charges from the policy for any taxes we incur because of the policy. However, no deductions are being made at the present time.

Special Service Fees

We will deduct a charge for special services, such as overnight delivery, up to $25 per service provided.

Transfer Fee

You are generally allowed to make 12 free transfers per policy year before the annuity commencement date. If you make more than 12 transfers per year, we reserve the right to charge $10 for each additional transfer. Premium payments, Asset Rebalancing, and

 

34


Table of Contents

Dollar Cost Averaging transfers do not count as one of your free transfers. All transfer requests made at the same time are treated as a single transfer.

Administrative Charges

We deduct a daily administrative charge to cover the costs of administering the policy (including certain distribution-related expenses). This charge is equal to an annual rate of 0.15% of the daily net asset value of each subaccount during both the accumulation phase and the income phase.

In addition, during the accumulation phase, an annual service charge of $35 (but not more than 2% of the policy value) is charged on each policy anniversary and at surrender. The service charge is waived if your policy value or the sum of your premiums, less all partial surrenders, is at least $100,000.

Initial Payment Guarantee

If you elect the Initial Payment Guarantee feature at the time of annuitization, there is a fee (during the income phase) currently at an annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net asset value. This fee may be higher or lower at the time you annuitize and elect the feature.

Fund Facilitation Fee

We charge a fund facilitation fee in order to make certain funds available as investment choices under the policies. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of subaccounts that we specify. The fund facilitation fee, expressed as an annual rate is:

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - Asset Allocation Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - Bond Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - Growth Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - Growth-Income Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.30% if you choose the American Funds - International Fund - Class 2

 

   

0.20% if you choose the AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy Portfolio - Class B

 

   

0.20% if you choose the GE Investments Total Return Fund - Class 3

 

   

0.15% if you choose the Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation Fund - Class 4

 

   

0.10 % if you choose the Transamerica BlackRock Global Allocation VP - Service Class

Additional Death Distribution

If you elect the Additional Death Distribution, there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.25% of the policy value. The rider fee will be deducted on each rider anniversary and upon termination of the rider during the accumulation phase. The rider fee(s) is deducted from each investment choice in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment choice.

Additional Death Distribution+

If you elect the Additional Death Distribution+, there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.55% of the policy value. The rider fee will be deducted on each rider anniversary and upon termination of the rider during the accumulation phase. The rider fee(s) is deducted from each investment choice in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment choice.

Living Benefits Rider

If you elect the Living Benefits Rider, there is an annual rider fee of 0.90% of the “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary before annuitization. We will also deduct the rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted from each investment choice in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment choice. Generally, the rider fee is deducted regardless of your values (i.e., even if your policy value exceeds your total withdrawal base).

 

35


Table of Contents

We will continue to calculate the rider fee using the “principal back” total withdrawal base even after the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero. The “principal back” total withdrawal base is always greater than or equal to the “for life” total withdrawal base.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Additional Options Fees

If you elect the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider, then the rider fee, which is charged quarterly before annuitization, depends on the allocation option that you choose. If you choose the Open Allocation option, then the fee for the base benefit (for either single or joint life) is 1.10% ( on an annual basis) of the withdrawal base. If you choose the Designated Investment option, then the fee for the base benefit (for single or joint life) is 1.25%, 0.90%, and 0.40% (on an annual basis) of the withdrawal base for allocating 100% of your policy value in Designated Allocation Allocation Group A, Designated Allocation Group B, or Designated Allocation Group C, respectively. If you elect a combination of designated investment options among various classes, then your fee will be based on a weighted average of your choices. If you elect options with the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider, then for each option you elect, you will be charged a fee that is a percentage of the withdrawal base on each rider quarter before annuitization, and is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit. The additional fees, on an annual basis, are as follows:

 

Options

   Single Life
Option
    Joint Life
Option
 

Death Benefit

   0.25   0.20

Income Enhancement Benefit

   0.15   0.30

We will also deduct any rider fee pro rata upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee(s) is deducted from each investment choice in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment choice.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider and Additional Options Fees

If you elect the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider, then the rider fee, which is charged quarterly before annuitization, is 1.25%, 0.90%, and 0.40% (on an annual basis) of the withdrawal base for allocating 100% of your policy value in Designated Allocation Allocation Group A, Designated Allocation Group B, or Designated Allocation Group C, respectively. If you elect a combination of designated investment options among various classes, then your fee will be based on a weighted average of your choices. If you elect options with the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider, then for each option you elect, you will be charged a fee that is a percentage of the withdrawal base on each rider quarter before annuitization, and is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit. The additional fees, on an annual basis, are as follows:

 

Options

   Single Life
Option
    Joint Life
Option
 

Death Benefit

   0.25   0.20

Income Enhancement Benefit

   0.15   0.30

We will also deduct any rider fee pro rata upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee(s) is deducted from each investment choice in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment choice.

Portfolio Fees and Expenses

The value of the assets in each subaccount will reflect the fees and expenses paid by the underlying fund portfolios. The lowest and highest fund expenses for

the previous calendar year are found in the Annuity Policy Fee Table section of this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios for more information.

Revenue We Receive

We (and our affiliates) may directly or indirectly receive payments from the underlying fund portfolios, their advisers, subadvisers, distributors or affiliates thereof, in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other services we (and our affiliates) provide and expenses we incur. We (and/or our affiliates) generally receive three types of payments:

 

   

Rule 12b-1 Fees. Our affiliate TCI is the principal underwriter for the policies and receives some or all of the 12b-1 fees from the funds. Any 12b-1 fees received by TCI that are attributable to our variable insurance products are then credited to us. These fees range from 0.00% to 0.25% of the average daily assets of the certain underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policies and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue.

 

   

Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees (“Support Fees”). As noted above, an investment adviser, sub-adviser, administrator and/or distributor (or affiliates thereof) of the underlying fund portfolios may make payments to us and/or our affiliates, including TCI. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment advisor or sub-adviser realized on the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the underlying funds for more information). The amount of the payments we (or our affiliates) receive is generally based on a percentage of the assets of the particular underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policy and to certain other variable insurance products that our affiliates and we issue. These percentages differ and the amounts may be significant. Some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) pay us more than others.

The following chart provides the maximum combined percentages of 12b-1 fees and Support Fees that we anticipate will be paid to us on an annual basis:

NOTES TO INCOMING PAYMENTS TABLE:

Maximum Fee % of assets: Payments are based on a percentage of the average assets of each underlying fund portfolio owned by the subaccounts available under this policy and under certain other variable insurance products offered by our affiliates and us. We and TCI may continue to receive 12b-1 fees and administrative fees on subaccounts that are closed to new investments, depending on the terms of the agreements supporting those payments and on the services we and TCI provide.

Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”): Because TST is managed by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), an affiliate of ours, there are additional benefits to us and our affiliates for amounts you allocate to the TST underlying fund portfolios, in terms of our and our affiliates’ overall profitability. These additional benefits may be significant. Payments or other benefits may be received from TAM. Such payments or benefits may be entered into for a variety of purposes, such as to allocate resources to us to provide administrative services to the policyholders who

 

37


Table of Contents

invest in the TST underlying fund portfolios. These payments or benefits may take the form of internal credits, recognition, or cash payments. A variety of financial and accounting methods may be used to allocate resources and profits to us. Additionally, if a TST portfolio is sub-advised by an entity that is affiliated with us, we may retain more revenue than on those TST portfolios that are sub-advised by non-affiliated entities. During 2009 we received $53,525,721.38 from TAM pursuant to these benefits. This includes the 0.25% amount in the above chart. We anticipate receiving comparable amounts in the future.

Variable Insurance Products Fund: We receive this percentage once $100 million in fund shares are held by the subaccounts of the Company and its affiliates.

 

   

Other Payments. TCI also serves as the wholesale distributor for the policies, and in that capacity directly or indirectly receives additional amounts or different percentages of assets under management from certain advisers and sub-advisers to the underlying fund portfolios (or their affiliates) with regard to variable insurance products or mutual funds that are issued by us and our affiliates. These amounts may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or sub-adviser receives from the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Policy owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees. Certain advisers and sub-advisers of the underlying fund portfolios (or their affiliates):

 

   

may each directly or indirectly pay TCI amounts up to $75,000 per year to participate in a “preferred sponsor” program that provides such advisers and sub-advisers with access to TCI’s wholesalers at TCI’s national and regional sales conferences as well as internal and external meetings and events that are attended by TCI’s wholesalers and/or other TCI employees.

 

   

may provide our affiliates and/or selling firms with wholesaling services to assist us in the distribution of the policies.

 

   

may provide us and/or certain affiliates and/or selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other compensation as an incentive to market the underlying fund portfolios and to assist with their promotional efforts. The amounts may be significant and these arrangements provide the adviser or subadviser (or other affiliates) with increased access to us and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the policies.

For the calendar year ended December 31, 2009, TCI received revenue sharing payments ranging from $3,500 to $32,000 (for a total of $264,750) from the following Fund managers and/or sub-advisers to participate in TCI’s events: Alliance Capital Management L.P., American Century Investment Management, Inc., BlackRock Investment Management, LLC., Columbia Management Advisors, Inc., Evergreen Investments, Federated Investment Management Company, Fidelity Management and Research Company, ING Clarion Real Estate Securities, Janus Capital Management, LLC, Jennison Associates LLC, JPMorgan Investment Management, Inc., Legg Mason, MFS Investment Management, Oppenheimer Funds, Inc., Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, Putnam, Schroders, Transamerica Investment Management, LLC, Van Kampen Asset Management, Vanguard. Please note some of the aforementioned managers and/or subadvisors may not be associated with underlying fund portfolios currently available in this product.

Proceeds from certain of these payments by the underlying fund portfolios, the advisers, the sub-advisers and/or their affiliates may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses (1) that we and our affiliates incur in promoting, marketing, and administering the policy, and (2) that we incur, in our role as

intermediary, in promoting, marketing, and administering the underlying fund portfolios. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments.

For further details about the compensation payments we make in connection with the sale of the policies, see “Distribution of the Policies” in this prospectus.

6. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

During the accumulation phase, you can have access to the money in your policy in the following ways:

 

   

by making a surrender (either a full or partial surrender); or

 

   

by taking systematic payouts (See “Section 10, Systematic Payout Option” for more details).

Surrenders

If you take a full surrender, you will receive your cash value.

If you want to take a partial surrender, in most cases it must be for at least $500. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will take the surrender from each of the investment choices in proportion to the policy value.

You may elect to take up to the free amount once each policy year without incurring a surrender charge. Remember that any surrender you take will reduce the policy value, and the amount of the death benefit. See “Section 8, Death Benefit”, for more details. A partial surrender also may have a negative impact on certain other benefits and guarantees of your Contract.

Surrenders from qualified policies may be restricted or prohibited.

Surrenders may be subject to a surrender charge. Surrenders from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. Income taxes, federal tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any surrenders you make.

During the income phase, you will receive annuity payments under the annuity payment option you select; however, you generally may not take any other surrenders, either full or partial, unless you elect a Life with Emergency Cash® payment option.

If your policy was issued pursuant to a 403(b) plan, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders, loans or transfers you request comply with applicable tax requirements and to decline requests that are not in compliance. We will defer such payments you request until all information required under the tax law has been received. By requesting a surrender, loan or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the policy, and transactions under the policy and any other 403(b) contracts or accounts you have under the 403(b) plan among us, your employer or plan sponsor, any plan administrator or recordkeeper, and other product providers.

Delay of Payment and Transfers

Payment of any amount due from the separate account for a surrender, a death benefit, or the death of the owner of a nonqualified policy, will generally occur within seven days from the date we receive in good order all required information at our Administrative and Service Office. We may defer such payment from the separate account if:

 

   

the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for usual weekends or holidays or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;

 

   

an emergency exists as defined by the SEC or the SEC requires that trading be restricted; or

 

   

the SEC permits a delay for the protection of owners.

 

39


Table of Contents

In addition, transfers of amounts from the subaccounts may be deferred under these circumstances.

Any payment or transfer request which is not in good order will cause a delay.

Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might in certain circumstances require us to reject a premium payment and/or “freeze” a policy owner’s account. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to pay any request for withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, make transfers, or continue making annuity payments absent instructions from the appropriate federal regulator. We may also be required to provide information about you and your policy to government agencies or departments.

Pursuant to the requirements of certain state laws, we reserve the right to defer payment of the cash value from the fixed account for up to six months. We may defer payment of any amount until your premium payment check has cleared your bank.

Excess Interest Adjustment

Money that you transfer out of or surrender from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. At the time you request a transfer or surrender (either full or partial), if interest rates set by the Company have risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value on surrender or transfer. However, if interest rates have fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value on surrender or transfer. Please see “Appendix - Excess Interest Adjustment Examples” to see how the excess interest adjustment is calculated and illustrative examples using hypothetical values.

Any amount surrendered in excess of the cumulative interest credited is generally subject to an excess interest adjustment. An excess interest adjustment may also be made on amounts applied to an annuity payment option.

There will be no excess interest adjustment on any of the following:

 

   

surrenders of cumulative interest credited;

 

   

Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option surrenders;

 

   

Unemployment Waiver surrenders;

 

   

surrenders to satisfy any minimum distribution requirements; and

 

   

Systematic Payout Option payments, which do not exceed cumulative interest credited at the time of payment.

Please note that in these circumstances you will not receive a higher cash value if interest rates have fallen nor will you receive a lower cash value if interest rates have risen.

The excess interest adjustment may vary for certain policies and may not be applicable for all policies.

Signature Guarantee

As a protection against fraud, we require that the following transaction requests include a Medallion signature guarantee:

 

   

All requests for surrenders (i.e. partial surrenders and full surrenders) over $250,000;

 

   

All requests for surrenders (i.e. partial surrenders and full surrenders) when the Company does not have an original signature on file.

 

40


Table of Contents

You can obtain a Medallion signature guarantee from more than 7,000 financial institutions across the United States and Canada that participate in a Medallion signature guarantee program. This includes many:

 

   

National and state banks;

 

   

Savings banks and savings and loan associations;

 

   

Securities brokers and dealers; and

 

   

Credit Unions.

The best source of a Medallion signature guarantee is a bank, savings and loan association, brokerage firm, or credit union with which you do business. Guarantor firms may, but frequently do not, charge a fee for their services.

A notary public cannot provide a Medallion signature guarantee. Notarization will not substitute for a Medallion signature guarantee.

7. ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

You choose the annuity commencement date. You can change this date by giving us notice with the information we need. New annuity commencement dates less than 30 days after we receive notice of the change require prior approval. The latest maximum annuity commencement date generally cannot be after the policy month following the month in which the annuitant attains age 95. The earliest annuity commencement date is at least thirty days after you purchase your policy.

Before the annuity commencement date, if the annuitant is alive, you may choose an annuity payment option or change your election. If the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date, the death benefit is payable in a lump sum or under one of the annuity payment options (unless the surviving spouse continues the policy).

Unless you specify otherwise, the annuitant will receive the annuity payments. After the annuitant’s death, the beneficiary you designate at annuitization will receive any remaining guaranteed payments.

Annuity Payment Options

The policy provides several annuity payment options that are described below. You may choose any combination of annuity payment options. We will use your adjusted policy value to provide these annuity payments. If the adjusted policy value on the annuity commencement date is less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay it in one lump sum in lieu of applying it under an annuity payment option. You can receive annuity payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. (We reserve the right to change the frequency if payments would be less than $50.)

If you choose to receive fixed payments, then the amount of each payment will be set on the annuity commencement date and will not change. You may, however, choose to receive variable payments. The dollar amount of the first variable payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the policy. The dollar amount of additional variable payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) you select. The dollar amount of each variable payment after the first may increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exactly matched the assumed investment return of 5% at all times, the amount of each variable annuity payment would remain constant. If actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exceeds the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would increase. Conversely, if actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) is lower than the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable

 

41


Table of Contents

annuity payments would decrease. Please note that these changes only occur annually under the Initial Payment Guarantee.

A charge for premium taxes and an excess interest adjustment may be made when annuity payments begin.

The annuity payment options are explained below. Some options are fixed only and some can be fixed or variable.

Income for a Specified Period (fixed only). We will make level payments only for a fixed period. No funds will remain at the end of the period.

If your policy is a qualified policy, this payment option may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option.

Income of a Specified Amount (fixed only). Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be a series of level payments followed by a smaller final payment.

If your policy is a qualified policy, this payment option may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing this option.

Life Income. You may choose between:

 

   

No Period Certain (fixed or variable)-Payments will be made only during the annuitant’s lifetime.

 

   

10 Years Certain (fixed or variable)-Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant’s lifetime or ten years.

 

   

Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds (fixed only)-Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant’s lifetime or until the total dollar amount of payments we made to you equals the annuitized amount.

 

   

Life with Emergency Cash® (fixed or variable)-Payments will be made during the annuitant’s lifetime. With the Life with Emergency Cash® feature, you are able to surrender all or a portion of the Life with Emergency Cash® benefit. The amount you surrender must be at least $2,500. We will provide you with a Life with Emergency Cash® benefit schedule that will assist you in estimating the amount you have available to surrender. A partial surrender will reduce all future payments pro rata. A surrender charge may apply and there may be tax consequences (consult a tax advisor before requesting a full or partial surrender). The maximum surrender charge is 4% of the annuitized amount (see “Expenses” for the surrender charge schedule). You will be subject to whatever surrender schedule is in effect at the time you annuitize under this annuity payment option. The Life with Emergency Cash® benefit will continue through age 100 of the annuitant.

The Life with Emergency Cash® benefit is also a death benefit that is paid upon the death of the annuitant and is generally equal to the surrender value without any surrender charges. For qualified policies the death benefit ceases on the date the annuitant reaches the IRS age limitation.

Joint and Survivor Annuity. You may choose between:

 

   

No Period Certain (fixed or variable)-Payments are made during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your selection. Payments will be made as long as either person is living.

 

   

Life with Emergency Cash® (fixed or variable)-Payments will be made during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your selection. Payments will be made as long as either person is living. With the Life with Emergency Cash® feature, you are able to surrender all or a portion of the Life with

 

42


Table of Contents
 

Emergency Cash® benefit. The amount you surrender must be at least $2,500. We will provide you with a Life with Emergency Cash® benefit schedule that will assist you in estimating the amount you have available to surrender. A partial surrender will reduce all future payments pro rata. A surrender charge may apply and there may be tax consequences (consult a tax advisor before requesting a full or partial surrender). The maximum surrender charge is 4% of the annuitized amount (see “Expenses” for the surrender charge schedule). You will be subject to whatever surrender schedule is in effect at the time you annuitize under this annuity payment option. The Life with Emergency Cash® benefit will continue through age 100 of the surviving joint annuitant.

The Life with Emergency Cash® benefit is also a death benefit that is paid upon the death of the surviving joint annuitant and is generally equal to the surrender value without any surrender charges. For qualified policies the death benefit ceases on the date the surviving joint annuitant reaches the IRS joint age limitation.

Other annuity payment options may be arranged by agreement with the Company. Some annuity payment options may not be available for all policies.

NOTE CAREFULLY

IF:

 

   

you choose Life Income with No Period Certain or a Joint and Survivor Annuity with No Period Certain; and

 

   

the annuitant dies (or both joint annuitants die) before the due date of the second (third, fourth, etc.) annuity payment;

THEN:

 

   

we may make only one (two, three, etc.) annuity payments.

IF:

 

   

you choose Income for a Specified Period, Life Income with 10 Years Certain, Life Income with Guaranteed Return of Policy Proceeds, or Income of a Specified Amount; and

 

   

the person receiving payments dies prior to the end of the guaranteed period;

THEN:

 

   

the remaining guaranteed payments will be continued to a new payee, or their present value may be paid in a single sum.

However, IF:

 

   

you choose Life with Emergency Cash®; and

 

   

the annuitant dies (if both joint annuitants die) before age 101;

THEN:

 

   

a Life with Emergency Cash® death benefit will be paid.

We will not pay interest on amounts represented by uncashed annuity payment checks if the postal or other delivery service is unable to deliver checks to the payee’s address of record. The person receiving payments is responsible for keeping the Company informed of his/her current address.

You must annuitize your policy no later than the maximum annuity commencement date specified in your policy (earlier for certain distribution channels). If you do not elect an annuity payment option, the default option will be Life with 10 Years Certain option. Please note, all optional benefits (including guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits) terminate upon annuitization.

8. DEATH BENEFIT

We will pay a death benefit to your beneficiary, under certain circumstances, if the annuitant dies during the accumulation phase. If there is a surviving owner(s) when the annuitant dies, the surviving owner(s) will receive the death benefit instead of the

 

43


Table of Contents

listed beneficiary. The person receiving the death benefit may choose an annuity payment option, or may choose to receive a lump sum.

We will determine the amount of and pay the death benefit proceeds, if any are payable on a policy, upon receipt at our Administrative and Service Office of satisfactory proof of the annuitant’s death, written directions from each eligible recipient of death benefit proceeds regarding how to pay the death benefit, and any other documents, forms and information that we need (collectively referred to as “due proof of death”).

Please Note: Such due proof of death must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing the death benefit claim.

The death benefit proceeds remain invested in the separate account in accordance with the allocations made by the policy owner until the beneficiary has provided us with due proof of death. Once the Company receives due proof of death, then investments in the separate account may be reallocated in accordance with the beneficiary’s instructions. The Company may permit the beneficiary to give a “one-time” instruction to reallocate the investments in the separate account to the money market fund before receiving due proof of death, however, provided that each beneficiary agrees to such reallocation instructions.

When We Pay A Death Benefit

We will pay a death benefit IF:

 

   

you are both the annuitant and sole owner of the policy; and

 

   

you die before the annuity commencement date.

We will pay a death benefit to you (owner) IF:

 

   

you are not the annuitant; and

 

   

the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date.

If the only person receiving the death benefit is the surviving spouse, then he or she may elect to continue the policy as the new annuitant and owner, instead of receiving the death benefit. All surrender charges will be waived.

When We Do Not Pay A Death Benefit

We will not pay a death benefit IF:

 

   

you are not the annuitant; and

 

   

you die prior to the annuity commencement date.

Please note the new owner (unless it is the deceased owner’s spouse) must generally surrender the policy within five years of your death.

Distribution requirements apply to the policy value upon the death of any owner. These distribution requirements are detailed in the SAI.

Deaths After the Annuity Commencement Date

The death benefit payable, if any, on or after the annuity commencement date depends on the annuity payment option selected.

IF:

 

   

you are not the annuitant; and

 

   

you die on or after the annuity commencement date; and

 

   

the entire interest in the policy has not been paid;

THEN:

 

   

the remaining portion of such interest in the policy will continue to be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of your death.

IF:

 

   

annuity payments are being made under the Life with Emergency Cash®; and

 

44


Table of Contents
   

the annuitant dies before age 101 (or earlier, if a qualified policy);

THEN:

 

   

a Life with Emergency Cash® death benefit will be paid.

Succession of Ownership

If an owner dies during the accumulation phase, the person or entity first listed below who is alive or in existence on the date of that death will become the new owner:

 

   

any surviving owner;

 

   

primary beneficiary;

 

   

contingent beneficiary; or

 

   

owner’s estate.

Amount of Death Benefit

Death benefit provisions may differ from state to state. The death benefit may be paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments. The amount of the death benefit depends on the guaranteed minimum death benefit option, if any, you choose when you buy the policy. The “base policy” death benefit will generally be the greatest of:

 

   

the policy value on the date we receive the required information in good order at our Administrative and Service Office;

 

   

the cash value on the date we receive the required information in good order at our Administrative and Service Office (this will be more than the policy value if there is a positive excess interest adjustment);

 

   

and the guaranteed minimum death benefit (discussed below), plus premium payments (after the date of death), less adjusted partial surrenders, from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid. Please see “Appendix - Death Benefit” for illustrative examples regarding Death Benefit calculations.

Please note, the death benefit terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit

NOTE: The following generally applies, depending on the state of issue, to policies issued after the date of this prospectus. See “Appendix -Policy Variations” for information about older policies.

Annual Step-Up Death Benefit

Under this option, on each policy anniversary before your 81st birthday, a new “stepped-up” death benefit is determined and becomes the guaranteed minimum death benefit for that policy year. This “step-up” death benefit is equal to:

 

   

the largest policy value on the policy date or on any policy anniversary prior to the earlier of the annuitant’s date of death or the annuitant’s 81st birthday; plus

 

   

any premium payments since the date of any policy anniversary with the largest policy value; minus

 

   

any adjusted partial surrenders since the date of the policy anniversary with the largest policy value.

The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit is not available if you or the annuitant is 76 or older on the policy date. There is an extra charge for this death benefit of 0.20% annually.

Return of Premium Death Benefit

The Return of Premium Death Benefit is equal to:

 

   

total premium payments; less

 

   

any adjusted partial surrenders as of the date of death.

 

45


Table of Contents

This benefit is not available if you or the annuitant is 91 or older on the policy date. The Return of Premium Death Benefit will be in effect if you do not choose another death benefit option when you purchase your policy.

Please note: You will not receive an optional guaranteed minimum death benefit if you do not choose one when you purchase your policy.

The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit may vary for certain policies and may not be available for all policies. This disclosure explains the material features of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit. The application and operation of the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit are governed by the terms and conditions of the policy form and riders.

Adjusted Partial Surrender

When you request a partial surrender, your guaranteed minimum death benefit will be reduced by an amount called the adjusted partial surrender. Under certain circumstances, the adjusted partial surrender may be more than the dollar amount of your surrender request. This will generally be the case if the guaranteed minimum death benefit exceeds the policy value at the time of surrender. It is also possible that if a death benefit is paid after you have made a partial surrender, then the total amount paid could be less than the total premium payments. We have included a detailed explanation of this adjustment in the “Appendix - Death Benefit.” This is referred to as “adjusted partial surrender” in your policy. If you have a qualified policy, minimum required distributions rules may require you to request a partial surrender.

9. TAXES

NOTE: We have prepared the following information on federal income taxes as a general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice to any individual. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own circumstances. We have included an additional discussion regarding taxes in the SAI.

Annuity Policies in General

Deferred annuity policies are a way of setting aside money for future needs like retirement. Congress recognized how important saving for retirement is and provided special rules in the Internal Revenue Code for annuities.

Simply stated, these rules generally provide that individuals will not be taxed on the earnings, if any, on the money held in an annuity policy until taken out. This is referred to as tax deferral. When a non-natural person (e.g., corporation or certain other entities other than tax-qualified trusts) owns a nonqualified policy, the policy will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes.

There are different rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how you take the money out and the type of policy-qualified or nonqualified.

You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of your policy until a distribution occurs (either as a surrender or as annuity payments).

Qualified and Nonqualified Policies

If you purchase the policy under an individual retirement annuity, a 403(b) plan, a pension plan, or specially sponsored program, your policy is referred to as a qualified policy.

Qualified policies are issued in connection with the following:

 

   

Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA): A traditional IRA allows individuals to make contributions, which may be deductible, to the policy. A Roth IRA also allows individuals to make contributions to the policy, but it does not

 

46


Table of Contents
 

allow a deduction for contributions, and distributions may be tax-free if the owner meets certain rules.

 

   

Tax-Sheltered Annuity (403(b) Plan): A 403(b) Plan may be made available to employees of certain public school systems and tax-exempt organizations and permits contributions to the policy on a pre-tax basis. Pursuant to new tax regulations, starting January 1, 2009 the policy is not available for purchase under a 403(b) plan and we do not accept additional premiums or transfers to existing 403(b) policies. We generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders, loans or transfers you request from an existing 403(b) policy comply with applicable tax requirements before we process your request.

 

   

Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing and H.R. 10 Plan: Employers and self-employed individuals can establish pension or profit-sharing plans for their employees or themselves and make contributions to the policy on a pre-tax basis.

 

   

Deferred Compensation Plan (457 Plan): Certain governmental and tax-exempt organizations can establish a plan to defer compensation on behalf of their employees through contributions to the policy.

There is no additional tax deferral benefit derived from placing qualified funds into a variable annuity. Features other than tax deferral should be considered in the purchase of a qualified policy. There are limits on the amount of contributions you can make to a qualified policy. Other restrictions may apply including terms of the plan in which you participate.

Optional death benefit features in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the policy value. Such a death benefit could be characterized as an incidental benefit, the amount of which is limited in any pension or profit-sharing plan or 403(b) plan. Because an optional death benefit may exceed this limitation, anyone using the policy in connection with such plans should consult their tax adviser before purchasing an optional death benefit. The Internal Revenue Service has not reviewed the policy for qualification as an IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether the death benefit options and riders available, with the policy, if any, comport with IRA qualification requirements.

If you purchase the policy as an individual and not under an individual retirement annuity, 403(b) plan, 457 plan, or pension or profit sharing plan, your policy is referred to as a nonqualified policy.

Surrenders-Qualified Policies Generally

There are special rules that govern qualified policies. Generally, these rules restrict:

 

   

the amount that can be contributed to the policy during any year;

 

   

the time when amounts can be paid from the policy; and

 

   

the amount of any death benefit that may be allowed.

In the case of a withdrawal under a qualified policy, a pro rata portion of the amount you receive is taxable, generally based on the ratio of your “investment in the contract” to your total account balance or accrued benefit under the retirement plan. Your “investment in the contract” generally equals the amount of any non-deductible purchase payments made by you or on your behalf. In some cases, your “investment in the contract” can be zero.

In addition, a penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the policy prior to the date you reach age 59 1/2, unless you meet one of the exceptions to this rule. You may also be required to begin taking minimum distributions from the policy by a certain date. Pursuant to special legislation, required minimum distributions for the 2009 tax year generally are not required, and 2009 distributions that otherwise would be required

 

47


Table of Contents

minimum distributions may be eligible for rollover. The terms of the plan may limit the rights otherwise available to you under the policy. We have provided more information in the SAI.

We may make available under the policy certain guaranteed lifetime withdrawal and other optional benefits. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of these optional benefits. For example, if you elect a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit and your minimum required distribution amount exceeds your guaranteed withdrawal amount, you will have to withdraw more than the guaranteed withdrawal amount to avoid imposition of a 50% excise tax. It is not clear whether guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit payments made during the settlement phase will be taxed as withdrawals or as annuity payments. In view of this uncertainty, we will apply the non-annuity rules for determining minimum required distributions, meaning that a percentage of the value of all benefits under the contract will need to be withdrawn each year. The value may have to include the value of enhanced death benefits and other optional contract provisions such as the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit rider itself.

If you are attempting to satisfy minimum required distribution rules through partial surrenders, the value of any enhanced death benefit or other optional rider may need to be included in calculating the amount required to be distributed.

The Internal Revenue Code generally requires that interests in a qualified policy be nonforfeitable. If your policy contains a bonus rider with a recapture, forfeiture, or “vesting” feature, it may not be consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax advisor before purchasing a bonus rider as part of a qualified policy.

You should consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering purchasing an enhanced death benefit or other optional rider, or if you are considering purchasing a policy for use with any qualified retirement plan or arrangement.

Surrenders-403(b) Policies

The rules described above for qualified policies generally apply to 403(b) policies. However, specific rules apply to surrenders from certain 403(b) policies. Partial withdrawals and surrenders can generally only be made when an owner:

 

   

reaches age 59 1/2;

 

   

leaves his/her job;

 

   

dies;

 

   

becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code); or

 

   

declares hardship. However, in the case of hardship, the owner can only surrender the premium payments and not any earnings.

Please Note: In some instances the signature of the employer may be required. For contracts issued after 2008, amounts attributable to nonelective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified in the employer’s section 403(b) plan.

Pursuant to new tax regulations, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders you request from a 403(b) policy comply with applicable tax requirements before we process your request.

Defaulted loans from Code Section 403(b) arrangements, and pledges and assignments of qualified policies generally are taxed in the same manner as surrenders from such policies. Please refer to the SAI for further information applicable to distributions from 403(b) policies. Please note that a defaulted loan may stop the growth on a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.

Table of Contents

Surrenders-Nonqualified Policies

The information above describing the taxation of qualified policies does not apply to nonqualified policies. If you take a partial withdrawal or surrender (including systematic payouts and payouts under an optional feature, if any) from a nonqualified policy before the annuity commencement date, the Internal Revenue Code treats that surrender as first coming from earnings and then from your premium payments. If your policy contains an excess interest adjustment feature (also known as a market value adjustment), then your account value immediately before the surrender may have to be increased by any positive excess interest adjustments that result from the surrender. There is, however, no definitive guidance on the proper tax treatment of excess interest adjustments, and you may want to discuss the potential tax consequences of an excess interest adjustment with your tax advisor.

When you make a surrender you are taxed on the amount of the surrender that is earnings. If you make a surrender, you are generally taxed on the amount that your surrender proceeds exceeds the “investment in the contract,” which is generally your premiums paid (adjusted for any prior surrenders or portions thereof that were not taxable). In general, loans, pledges, and assignments are taxed in the same manner as partial withdrawals and surrenders. Different rules apply for annuity payments. See “Annuity Payments” below.

The Internal Revenue Code also provides that surrendered earnings may be subject to a penalty tax. The amount of the penalty tax is equal to 10% of the amount that is includable in income. Some surrenders will be exempt from the penalty tax. They include, among others, any amounts:

 

   

paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2;

 

   

paid after an owner dies;

 

   

paid if the taxpayer becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code);

 

   

paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) under a lifetime annuity;

 

   

paid under an immediate annuity; or

 

   

which come from premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

If your nonqualified policy contains a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit rider, certain rules may apply. It is not clear whether guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit payments made during the settlement or income (payout) phase may be taxed as either withdrawals or annuities. In view of this uncertainty, we intend to adopt a conservative approach and treat guaranteed lifetime withdrawal payments during the settlement phase under nonqualified policies as withdrawals. Consult a tax advisor before purchasing a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit rider or option.

All nonqualified deferred annuity policies that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner during any calendar year are treated as one annuity for purposes of determining the amount includable in the owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs.

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

Amounts may be distributed from the policy because of the death of the annuitant. Generally, such amounts should be includable in the income of the recipient:

 

   

if distributed in a lump sum, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as a surrender; or

 

   

if distributed under an annuity payment option, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.

 

49


Table of Contents

Annuity Payments

Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the annuity payment option you select, in general, for nonqualified and certain qualified policies, only a portion of the annuity payments you receive will be includable in your gross income.

In general, the excludable portion of each annuity payment you receive will be determined as follows:

 

   

Fixed payments-by dividing the “investment in the contract” on the annuity commencement date by the total expected value of the annuity payments for the term of the payments. This is the percentage of each annuity payment that is excludable.

 

   

Variable payments-by dividing the “investment in the contract” on the annuity commencement date by the total number of expected periodic payments. This is the amount of each annuity payment that is excludable.

The remainder of each annuity payment is includable in gross income. Once the “investment in the contract” has been fully recovered, the full amount of any additional annuity payments is includable in gross income and taxed as ordinary income.

If you select more than one annuity payment option, special rules govern the allocation of the policy’s entire “investment in the contract” to each such option, for purposes of determining the excludable amount of each payment received under that option. We advise you to consult a competent tax adviser as to the potential tax effects of allocating amounts to any particular annuity payment option.

If, after the annuity commencement date, annuity payments stop because an annuitant died, the excess (if any) of the “investment in the contract” as of the annuity commencement date over the aggregate amount of annuity payments received that was excluded from gross income may possibly be allowable as a deduction in your tax return.

You should consult a tax advisor before electing the Initial Payment Guarantee or a feature with stabilized payments.

Medicare Tax

Beginning in 2013, distributions from nonqualified annuity policies will be considered “investment income” for purposes of the newly enacted Medicare tax on investment income. Thus, in certain circumstances, a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions (e.g. earnings) to individuals whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts ($200,000 for filing single, $250,000 for married filing jointly and $125,000 for married filing separately). Please consult a tax advisor for more information.

Diversification and Distribution Requirements

The Internal Revenue Code provides that the underlying investments for a variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an annuity. The policy must also meet certain distribution requirements at the death of an owner in order to be treated as an annuity. These diversification and distribution requirements are discussed in the SAI. We may modify the policy to attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Federal Defense of Marriage Act

The Federal Defense of Marriage Act currently does not recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions, even those that are permitted under individual state laws. Therefore, exercise of the spousal continuation provisions of this policy by persons who do not meet the definition “spouse” under federal law—e.g., civil union partners or same-sex marriage spouses—may have adverse tax consequences. Consult a tax advisor for more information on this subject.

Federal Estate Taxes

While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the Policy, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent’s gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Consult an estate planning advisor for more information.

Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax

Under certain circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code may impose a “generation skipping transfer tax” when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Owner. Regulations issued under the Internal Revenue Code may require us to deduct the tax from your Contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes in 2010

In 2001, Congress enacted the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”), which eliminated the estate tax (but not the gift tax) and replaced it with a carryover basis income tax regime for estates of decedents dying in 2010, and also eliminated the generation-skipping transfer tax for transfers made in 2010. Beginning in 2011, however, EGTRRA allowed the estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes to return to their pre-EGTRRA form. Moreover, it is possible that Congress may enact legislation reinistating the estate and generation-skipping transfer taxes for 2010, possibly on a retroactive basis. The uncertainty as to future estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified advisory to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico

The Internal Revenue Service recently announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance or annuity contracts issued by a Puerto Rico branch of a United States life insurance company is U.S.-source income that is generally subject to United States federal income tax.

Annuity Contracts Purchased by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations

The discussion above provided general information (but not tax advice) regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity owners that are U.S. persons. Taxable distributions made to owners who are not U.S. persons will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, distributions may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the owner’s country of citizenship or residence. Prospective foreign owners are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation for any annuity policy purchase.

Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of Policies

A transfer of ownership or assignment of a policy, the designation of an annuitant or payee or other beneficiary who is not also the owner, the selection of certain annuity commencement dates, or a change of annuitant, may result in certain income or gift tax consequences to the owner that are beyond the scope of this discussion. An owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment, selection, or change should contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

Possible Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative or regulatory changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the policy could change by legislation, regulation, or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legal or regulatory developments and their effect on the policy.

We have the right to modify the policy to meet the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations, including legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity policy owners currently receive.

Separate Account Charges

It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may take a position that fees for certain optional benefits (e.g., death benefits other than the Return of Premium death benefit) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. In particular, the Internal Revenue Service may treat fees associated with certain optional benefits as a taxable surrender, which might also be subject to a tax penalty if the surrender occurs prior to age 59 1/2. Although we do not believe that the fees associated with any optional benefit provided under the policy should be treated as taxable surrenders, the tax rules associated with these benefits are unclear, and we advise that you consult your tax advisor prior to selecting any optional benefit under the policy.

Foreign Tax Credits

We may benefit from any foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain underlying funds to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under federal tax law.

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits

We may make available, as options under the policy, certain guaranteed lifetime withdrawal and other optional benefits. If your policy contains a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit rider the application of certain tax rules, particularly those rules relating to distributions from your policy, are not entirely clear. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of these optional benefits. In view of this uncertainty, you should consult a tax advisor before purchasing a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit rider for a qualified policy.

10. ADDITIONAL FEATURES

Systematic Payout Option

You can select at any time (during the accumulation phase) to receive regular withdrawals (i.e., partial surrenders) from your policy by using the Systematic Payout Option. Under this option, you can receive the greater of (1) or (2), divided by the number of withdrawals made per year, where: (1) up to 10% of your premium payments (reduced by prior withdrawals in that policy year); and (2) is any gains in the policy. For amounts greater than 10% of your premium payments, you must receive prior Company approval.

This amount may be taken free of surrender charges. Any payment in excess of the cumulative interest credited at the time of the payment may be subject to an excess interest adjustment.

Systematic withdrawals can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. Each withdrawal must be at least $50. Monthly and quarterly withdrawals must generally be made by electronic funds transfer directly to your checking or savings account.

 

52


Table of Contents

If you request an additional withdrawal while a Systematic Payout Option is in effect, then the Systematic Payout Option will terminate.

Keep in mind that partial withdrawals under the Systematic Payout Option may be taxable, and if made before age 59 1/2, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax.

Please note, if you elect certain features (e.g. living benefit riders) your Systematic Payout Option may be different for the first year.

There is no charge for this benefit.

Income Benefit Programs

The Family Income Protector and Managed Annuity Programs are no longer available for new sales, but if you have previously elected one of these benefits you can still upgrade. If you upgrade your minimum annuitization value or minimum income base, you will generally receive the Managed Annuity Program II.

Initial Payment Guarantee

You may only elect to purchase the Initial Payment Guarantee at the time you annuitize your policy. You cannot terminate this payment guarantee (or eliminate the charge for it) after you have elected it. The guarantee only applies to variable annuity payments. There is an additional charge for this guarantee.

The Initial Payment Guarantee does not establish or guarantee the performance of any subaccount.

Under the Initial Payment Guarantee, you receive annuity payments that are stabilized—that is, held level throughout each policy year—and are guaranteed to never be less than a percentage of the initial payment. The guaranteed percentage is subject to change from time to time; however once you annuitize, the guaranteed percentage will not change during the life of the Initial Payment Guarantee. Contact us for the current guaranteed percentage.

The payment amount is adjusted once each year (on the anniversary of your annuity commencement date) to reflect the investment performance of your selected investment choice(s) over the preceding year (but your payment will not be less than the guaranteed minimum).

Fee. There is a charge for the Initial Payment Guarantee, which is in addition to the base product mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge. This fee is reflected in the amount of the annuity payments that you receive if you select the Initial Payment Guarantee. It is reflected in the calculation of the annuity unit values.

The Initial Payment Guarantee fee is currently equal to an annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net asset value in the subaccounts. We can change the fee, and you pay whatever the fee is when you annuitize.

Other Terms and Conditions. The Initial Payment Guarantee uses a 5% assumed investment return to calculate your annuity payments. This means that the dollar amount of the annuity payments will remain level if the investment return (net of fees and expenses) exactly equals 5%. The payments will increase if actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exceeds the assumed investment return, and decrease if actual performance is below the assumed investment return (but not below the guaranteed level).

Termination. The Initial Payment Guarantee is irrevocable.

The Initial Payment Guarantee may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states. This disclosure explains the material features of the Initial Payment Guarantee. The

 

53


Table of Contents

application and operation of the Initial Payment Guarantee are governed by the terms and conditions of the policy itself.

Additional Death Distribution

The optional Additional Death Distribution rider pays an additional amount (based on earnings, if any, since the rider was issued) when a death benefit is payable during the accumulation phase under your policy, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Distribution is only available for issue ages through age 80.

Additional Death Distribution Benefit Amount. The Additional Death Distribution is payable only if you elected the rider prior to the death triggering the payment of the policy death benefit and a death benefit is payable under the policy. The Additional Death Distribution is equal to:

 

   

the Additional Death Distribution factor (see below); multiplied by

 

   

the rider earnings, if any, on the date the death benefit is calculated.

Rider earnings equal:

 

   

the policy value on the date the death benefit is determined; minus

 

   

policy value on the rider date; minus

 

   

premium payments after the rider date; plus

 

   

surrenders after the rider date that exceed the rider earnings on the date of the surrender.

No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Distribution rider if there are no rider earnings on the date the death benefit is calculated.

If you purchase your policy as part of a 1035 exchange or add the Additional Death Distribution rider after you purchase the policy, rider earnings do not include any gains before the 1035 exchange or the date the Additional Death Distribution is added to your policy.

The Additional Death Distribution factor is currently 40% for issue ages under 71 and 25% for issue ages 71-80, based on the annuitant’s age.

No benefit is paid under the rider unless (a) the rider is in force, (b) a death benefit is payable on the policy, and (c) there are rider earnings when the death benefit is calculated.

For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the policy and the Additional Death Distribution will be considered.

Please see “Appendix – Additional Death Distribution—Additional Information” for an example which illustrates the Additional Death Distribution payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution benefit amount.

Spousal Continuation. If a spouse, as the new owner of the policy, elects to continue the policy instead of receiving a death benefit and Additional Death Distribution, the spouse will receive a one-time policy value increase equal to the Additional Death Distribution. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider through age 80. Please note that under federal tax law, upon the death of an owner, only a “spouse” as defined under the Federal Defense of Marriage Act is permitted to continue a policy without taking required distributions. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)

Rider Fee. A rider fee, 0.25% of the policy value, is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment choice. The fee is deducted even during periods when the Additional Death Distribution would not pay any benefit (because there are no rider earnings).

 

54


Table of Contents

Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:

 

   

you cancel it by notifying our Administrative and Service Office in writing,

 

   

the policy is annuitized or surrendered, or

 

   

the Additional Death Distribution is paid or added to the policy value under a spousal continuation.

Once terminated, the Additional Death Distribution may be re-elected; however, a new rider will be issued and the additional death benefit will be re-determined. Please note that if the rider is terminated and then re-elected, it will only cover gains, if any, since it was re-elected and the terms of the new rider may be different than the terminated rider.

The tax consequences associated with this rider are not clear. This rider may violate the requirements of certain qualified plans and IRAs. Consult a tax advisor before electing this rider for any qualified plan or IRA.

Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuitization date.

The Additional Death Distribution may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states. This disclosure explains the material features of the Additional Death Distribution. The application and operation of the rider are governed by the terms and conditions of the rider itself.

Additional Death Distribution+

The optional Additional Death Distribution+ rider pays an additional death benefit amount when a death benefit is payable during the accumultion phase under your policy, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Distribution+ is only available for issue ages through age 75.

Additional Death Distribution+ Benefit Amount. An additional death benefit is only payable if a death benefit is paid on the base policy to which the rider is attached. The amount of the additional benefit is dependent on the amount of time that has passed since the rider date as follows:

 

   

If a death benefit is payable within the first five years after the rider date, the additional benefit amount will be equal to the sum of all rider fees paid since the rider date.

 

   

If a death benefit is payable after five years following the rider date, the additional benefit will be equal to the rider benefit base multiplied by the rider benefit percentage.

The rider benefit base at any time is equal to the policy value less any premiums added after the rider date.

The rider benefit percentage may vary but currently equals 30% for issue ages 0 - 70 and 20% for issue ages 71 - 75, based on the annuitant’s age.

No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Distribution+ if the policy value on the date the death benefit is paid is less than the premium payments after the rider date.

For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the policy and the additional benefit will be considered.

Please see “Appendix – Additional Death Distribution+—Additional Information” for an example that illustrates the additional death benefit payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Distribution+ benefit amount.

Spousal Continuation. If a spouse, as the new owner of the policy, elects to continue the policy instead of receiving the death benefit and Additional Death Distribution+, then the spouse will receive a one-time policy value increase equal to the Additional Death Distribution+. At this time the

 

55


Table of Contents

rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider through age 75. Please note that under federal tax law, upon the death of an owner, only a “spouse” as defined under the Federal Defense of Marriage Act is permitted to continue a policy without taking required distributions. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)

Rider Fee. A rider fee, currently 0.55% of the policy value, is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.

Please note: the rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment choice. The fee is deducted even during periods when the rider would not pay any benefits.

Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:

 

   

you cancel it by notifying our Administrative and Service Office in writing in good order,

 

   

the policy is annuitized or surrendered, or

 

   

the additional death benefit is paid or added to the policy value under a spousal continuation.

Once terminated, the Additional Death

Distribution+ may not be re-elected for one year.

The tax consequences associated with this rider are not clear. This rider may violate the requirements of certain qualified plans and for any qualified plan or IRAs. Consult a tax adviser before electing this rider.

Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuiity commencement date.

The Additional Death Distribution+ may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states. This disclosure explains the material features of the Additional Death Distribution+. The application and operation of the rider are governed by the terms and conditions of the rider itself.

Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option

No surrender charges or excess interest adjustment will apply if you make a surrender ($1,000 minimum), under certain circumstances, because you or your spouse has been:

 

   

confined in a hospital or nursing facility for 30 days in a row after the policy issue date; or

 

   

diagnosed with a terminal condition after the policy issue date (usually a life expectancy of 12 months or less).

This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse if the owner is not a natural person.

You may exercise this benefit at any time (during the accumulation phase). There is no charge for this benefit.

There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit.

This benefit may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states.

Unemployment Waiver

No surrender charges or excess interest adjustment will apply to surrenders after you or your spouse become unemployed in certain circumstances, because you were terminated, laid off, or otherwise lost your job involuntarily. In order to qualify, you (or your spouse, whichever is applicable) must have been:

 

   

employed full time for at least two years prior to becoming unemployed;

 

   

employed full time on the policy date;

 

56


Table of Contents
   

unemployed for at least 60 days in a row at the time of surrender;

 

   

must have a minimum cash value at the time of surrender of $5,000; and

 

   

you (or your spouse) must be receiving unemployment benefits.

You must provide written proof from your State’s Department of Labor, which verifies that you qualify for and are receiving unemployment benefits at the time of surrender.

You may select this benefit at any time (during the accumulation phase) and there is no charge for this benefit.

This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse if the owner is not a natural person. There is no charge for this benefit.

There is no restricion on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit.

This benefit may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states.

Telephone Transactions

You may generally make certain transactions by telephone upon our receipt of the appropriate authorization.

You will be required to provide certain information for identification purposes when requesting a transaction by telephone and we may record your telephone call. We may also require written confirmation of your request. We will not be liable for losses resulting from telephone requests that we believe are genuine. We reserve the right to revoke your telephone transaction privileges at any time without revoking all owners’ telephone transfer privileges.

Telephone requests must be received while the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading to get same-day pricing of the transaction. We may discontinue this option at any time.

We may deny the telephone transaction privileges to market timers and frequent or disruptive traders.

We cannot guarantee that telephone transactions will always be available. For example, our offices may be closed during severe circumstances or other emergencies. There may be interruptions in service beyond our control, and if the volume of calls is unusually high, we might not have anyone available, or lines available, to take your call. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability in all circumstances.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

During the accumulation phase, you may instruct us to automatically make transfers into one or more variable subaccounts in accordance with your allocation instructions. This is known as Dollar Cost Averaging. While Dollar Cost Averaging buys more accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices are high, it does not guarantee profits or assure that you will not experience a loss.

There are two Dollar Cost Averaging programs available under your policy:

 

   

Traditional—You may specify the dollar amount to be transferred or the number of transfers.

Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started.

 

   

Special—You may only elect either a six or twelve month program. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. You cannot transfer from another investment choice into a Special Dollar Cost Averaging program. This program is only available for new premium,

 

57


Table of Contents
 

requires transfers from a fixed source, and may credit a higher or lower interest rate than a traditional program.

A minimum of $500 per transfer is required. A minimum of $3,000 is required to start a 6-month program and $6,000 is required to start a 12-month program. The minimum number of transfers is 6 monthly or 4 quarterly, and the maximum is 24 monthly or 8 quarterly.

You can elect to transfer from one of the fixed or variable sources listed on the Dollar Cost Averaging election form (only fixed sources are available for special Dollar Cost Averaging programs).

A Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin once we have received in good order all necessary information and the minimum required amount. Please note: Dollar Cost Averaging programs will not begin on the 29th, 30th, or 31st. If a program would have started on one of those dates, it will start on the 1st business day of the following month. If we receive additional premium payments while a Dollar Cost Averaging program is running, absent new instructions to the contrary, the amount of the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will increase, but the length of the Dollar Cost Averaging program will not.

NOTE CAREFULLY:

IF:

 

   

we do not receive all necessary information to begin an initial Dollar Cost Averaging program within 30 days of allocating the minimum required amount to a Dollar Cost Averaging program; or

 

   

we do not receive the minimum required amount to begin an initial Dollar Cost Averaging program within 30 days of allocating an insufficient amount;

THEN:

 

   

any amount in a fixed source will be transferred to the money market investment choice; and

 

   

any amount in a variable source will remain in that variable investment choice; and

 

   

new instructions will be required to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging program.

IF:

 

   

we receive additional premium payments after a Dollar Cost Averaging program is completed and the additional premium meets the minimum requirements to start a Dollar Cost Averaging program;

THEN:

 

   

we will, absent new instructions to the contrary, start a new Dollar Cost Averaging program using the previous instructions.

IF:

 

   

we receive additional premium payments after a Dollar Cost Averaging program is completed, and the additional premium does not meet the minimum requirements to start a Dollar Cost Averaging program;

THEN:

 

   

we will, absent new instructions to the contrary, allocate the additional premium as identified in the previous Dollar Cost Averaging program.

IF:

 

   

you discontinue a Dollar Cost Averaging program before its completion;

THEN:

 

   

we will, absent new instructions to the contrary, transfer any remaining balance directly into the subaccounts in the Dollar Cost Averaging instructions.

You should consider your ability to continue a Dollar Cost Averaging program during all economic conditions.

 

58


Table of Contents

There is no charge for this benefit.

The Dollar Cost Averaging Program may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states. See your policy for availability of the fixed account options.

Asset Rebalancing

During the accumulation phase you can instruct us to automatically rebalance the amounts in your subaccounts to maintain your desired asset allocation. This feature is called Asset Rebalancing and can be started and stopped at any time. However, we will not rebalance if you are in the Dollar Cost Averaging program or if any other transfer is requested. If a transfer is requested, we will honor the requested transfer and discontinue Asset Rebalancing. New instructions are required to start Asset Rebalancing. Asset Rebalancing ignores amounts in the fixed account. You can choose to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

There is no charge for this benefit.

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefits

You may elect one of the following optional riders under the policy that offers guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits—the Living Benefits Rider, the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider Important aspects of each of these riders are summarized in the “Appendix—Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal benefit Comparison Table” and are described in more detail below. You should consult with tax and financial professionals to determine which of these riders is appropriate for you.

The following benefits are no longer available for new sales, but if you have previously elected one of these riders you can still upgrade.

 

   

5 for Life Rider

 

   

5 for Life with Growth Rider

 

   

Income Select for Life Rider

 

   

Retirement Income Choice Rider

 

   

Retirement Income Choice with Double Withdrawal Base Benefit Rider

Living Benefits Rider

You may elect to purchase the optional Living Benefits Rider which provides you with a guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit and a guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit. The Living Benefits Rider is only available during the accumulation phase. The Living Benefits Rider is only available for annuitant issue ages through age 80. The maximum issue age may be lower if required by state law.

You should view the Living Benefits Rider as a way to permit you to invest in variable investment choices while still having your policy value and liquidity protected to the extent provided by the Living Benefits Rider.

Please note:

 

   

Certain protections under the rider are available only if you hold the rider for ten years.

 

   

If you elect the rider, we will monitor your policy value and we may transfer amounts back and forth between specified investment choices under the policy (including guaranteed period options in the fixed account) and the variable investment choices you choose, according to a mathematical model that we will use to assist us in managing portfolio risk and supporting the guarantees under the rider. See “Portfolio Allocation Method” below.

 

   

You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.

 

   

We have designed this rider for you to take withdrawals each rider year that are less than or

 

59


Table of Contents
 

equal to the maximum annual withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.

 

   

Because the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the maximum annual withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take the maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.

 

   

The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax advisor before electing the Living Benefits Rider for a qualified policy.

 

   

Any such transfers out of a guaranteed period option may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. We intend to include among the specified investment choices fixed account options to which excess interest adjustments do not apply. (See “Portfolio Allocation Method,” below.)

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit

If you elect the Living Benefits Rider, we will provide a guaranteed future value. This benefit is intended to provide a level of protection regardless of the performance of the variable investment choices you select.

Guaranteed Future Value. We guarantee that, on the guaranteed future value date (ten years after you elect the rider), your policy value will at least equal your guaranteed future value. The guaranteed future value on the rider date (i.e., the date the rider is added to the policy) is the policy value (less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date and before the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed future value is equal to:

 

   

the guaranteed future value on the rider date; plus

 

   

a percentage of subsequent premium payments (as described below); less

 

   

subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).

After the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed future value equals zero.

Subsequent Premium Payments. The percentage of subsequent premium payments that will be added to the guaranteed future value is as follows:

 

Rider Year

   Percent of subsequent
premium payments
added to guaranteed
future value
 

1

   100

2

   90

   80

   60

   50

7

   50

8

   50

   0 % 

Guaranteed Future Value Adjusted Partial Withdrawals. If you take a partial withdrawal, it will reduce your guaranteed future value. The amount of the reduction is referred to as the adjusted partial withdrawal amount, which will be equal to the greater of:

 

   

the guaranteed future value immediately prior to the withdrawal multiplied by the percentage reduction in the policy value resulting from the gross partial withdrawal; or

 

   

the gross partial withdrawal amount.

 

60


Table of Contents

(The gross partial withdrawal amount is the amount you request, plus any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment that may be applicable.)

In other words, if your policy value is greater than the guaranteed future value at the time you make a partial withdrawal, then your guaranteed future value is reduced by the same amount we reduce your policy value. However, if your policy value is less than the guaranteed future value at the time you make a partial withdrawal, then your guaranteed future value will be reduced by more than the amount we reduce your policy value.

See the “Appendix—Living Benefits Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals” to this prospectus for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including withdrawals that reduce the guaranteed future value by more than the amount of the gross partial withdrawal.

Guaranteed Minimum Accumulation Benefit. On the guaranteed future value date (ten years after you elect the rider), if the policy value is less than the guaranteed future value, we will add an amount equal to the difference to your policy value. After the guaranteed future value date, the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit will terminate.

Example. Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. If, on the guaranteed future value date, your policy value has declined to $90,000 because of negative investment performance, then we will add $10,000 ($100,000 – $90,000) to your policy value.

Please note: You do not have any protection under the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit unless you hold the policy with the rider for ten years. If you think that you may terminate the policy or elect to start receiving annuity payments (or if you must begin taking required minimum distributions) before the guaranteed future value date, electing the rider may not be in your best interests.

Guaranteed Minimum Withdrawal Benefit

If you elect the Living Benefits Rider, (first as withdrawals from your policy value or, if necessary, as payments from us) we will provide a maximum annual withdrawal amount regardless of your policy value. This benefit is intended to provide a level of benefits regardless of the performance of the variable investment choices you select.

Withdrawal Guarantees. We account for the withdrawals you take under the rider by applying two different withdrawal guarantees:

 

   

“principal back,” for withdrawals of up to 7% of your total withdrawal base.

 

   

“for life,” for withdrawals of up to 5% of your total withdrawal base.

When you make a withdrawal, you do not need to specify it as being under either withdrawal guarantee. Any withdrawals that you take while the rider is in effect could have different impacts under each of the withdrawal guarantees—on your maximum annual withdrawal amount, on your total withdrawal base, and on your minimum remaining withdrawal amount. For example, withdrawals that are compliant with the “principal back” maximum withdrawal amount could result in excess withdrawals under the “for life” withdrawal guarantee and, consequently, would reduce the maximum annual withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base, and the minimum remaining withdrawal amount under the “for life” withdrawal guarantee. (See “Adjusted Partial Withdrawals” below.)

Your ability to change the frequency or amount of your withdrawals ceases if your policy value reaches zero.

 

61


Table of Contents

Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion. See “Appendix—Living Benefits Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the total withdrawal base by a pro rata amount.

Please note:

 

   

Any amount withdrawn in a rider year (including any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment) in excess of the maximum withdrawal amount is an excess withdrawal.

 

   

The amount of your excess withdrawal will impact the maximum annual withdrawal amount, total withdrawal base, and minimum remaining withdrawal amount under each guarantee on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis. (See “Maximum Annual Withdrawal Benefit,” “Total Withdrawal Base,” and “Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount,” below.)

Withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefit also:

 

   

reduce your policy value;

 

   

reduce your death benefit and other benefits;

 

   

may be subject to any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment; and

 

   

may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties (See “Section 9. Taxes”).

Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount. Under this benefit:

 

   

you can withdraw up to 7% of your “principal back” total withdrawal base each rider year until your “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero;

Example. Assume you make a single premium payment of $100,000 and that you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. Assume that after five years, your policy value has declined to $70,000 solely because of negative investment performance. You could still receive up to $7,000 (7% of $100,000) each rider year for the next fourteen years and $2,000 in the year immediately thereafter so you would get back your full $100,000 (assuming that you do not withdraw more than $7,000 in any one rider year).

 

   

or, you can withdraw up to 5% of your “for life” total withdrawal base each rider year starting with the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s death, unless your “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero because of “excess withdrawals” (see “Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” below). A penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the policy before the annuitant reaches age 59 1/2.

Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 55 years old. Assume you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments. Assume that after five years, your policy value has declined to $70,000 solely because of negative investment performance. You could still receive up to $5,000 (5% of $100,000) each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you do not withdraw more than $5,000 in any one rider year).

You can receive up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary, as payments from us) under this rider regardless of your policy value; however, once your policy value reaches zero you cannot make premium payments, and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. In order to continue withdrawals under this rider after your policy value reaches zero, you must select an amount and frequency of future withdrawals.

 

62


Table of Contents

Once selected, the amount and frequency of future withdrawals after your policy value reaches zero cannot be changed.

Please note:

 

   

Withdrawals under the 5% “for life” guarantee cannot begin until after the rider anniversary following the annuitant’s 59th birthday.

 

   

Any withdrawal before the rider anniversary following the annuitant’s 59th birthday will reduce the benefits under the 5% “for life” guarantee.

 

   

The maximum annual withdrawal amounts described above (the 7% “principal back” and 5% “for life”) are based on rider years, not calendar or policy years (if different from rider years).

 

   

You cannot carry over any portion of your maximum annual withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the maximum annual withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the maximum annual withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider’s guarantees.

 

   

Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.

 

   

If you have a qualified policy, minimum required distribution rules may force you to take excess withdrawals to avoid the imposition of a 50% excise tax. You should consult a tax advisor before purchasing this rider with a qualified policy.

Total Withdrawal Base. We use the total withdrawal base to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. The total withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the total withdrawal base is equal to:

 

   

the total withdrawal base on the rider date; plus

 

   

subsequent premium payments; less

 

   

subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).

We will calculate separate total withdrawal bases for the “principal back” and “for life” guarantees.

Please note: We determine the total withdrawal base solely to calculate the maximum annual withdrawal amount. Your total withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.

Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount. The minimum remaining withdrawal amount represents the total amount of guaranteed withdrawals still available under the rider. The minimum remaining withdrawal amount on the rider date is the policy value (less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is equal to:

 

   

the minimum remaining withdrawal amount on the rider date; plus

 

   

subsequent premium payments; less

 

   

subsequent adjusted partial withdrawals (as described below).

We will calculate separate minimum remaining withdrawal amounts for the “principal back” and “for life” guarantees.

Adjusted Partial Withdrawals. Each rider year, for each withdrawal guarantee (i.e., “principal back” and “for life”), gross partial withdrawals (the amount that you request be withdrawn, plus any surrender charge or excess interest adjustment that may be applicable) up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee, will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee on a dollar-for-dollar basis, but will not reduce the total withdrawal base for that withdrawal guarantee. For each withdrawal guarantee, gross

 

63


Table of Contents

partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee will reduce the total withdrawal base and minimum remaining withdrawal amount for that withdrawal guarantee by a pro rata amount (possibly to zero). See “Appendix—Living Benefits Rider Adjusted Partial Withdrawals,” which provides examples showing the effect of a withdrawal. Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the withdrawal guarantees under this rider.

Please note: Gross partial withdrawals that are compliant with the “principal back” withdrawal guarantee (i.e., withdrawals of the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount) and any partial withdrawal before the rider anniversary following the annuitant’s 59th birthday, will result in an excess partial withdrawal under the “for life” guarantee, and will reduce the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount, the “for life” total withdrawal base, and the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount. Such reduction may be on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis.

Rider Fee. A rider fee, 0.90% of the “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary, is charged annually before annuitization. We will also deduct the rider fee upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider. The rider fee is deducted from each investment choice in proportion to the amount of policy value in each investment choice. Generally, the rider fee is deducted regardless of your values (i.e., even if your policy value exceeds your total withdrawal base).

We will continue to calculate the rider fee using the “principal back” total withdrawal base even after the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount reaches zero. The “principal back” total withdrawal base is always greater than or equal to the “for life” total withdrawal base.

Please note: Because the rider fee is a percentage of your “principal back” total withdrawal base on each rider anniversary, the fee can be substantially more than 0.90% of your policy value if that total withdrawal base is higher than your policy value.

Portfolio Allocation Method

If you elect the Living Benefits Rider, the Portfolio Allocation Method (“PAM”) will automatically be in effect. PAM is designed to help manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the Living Benefits Rider. Using PAM, we will monitor your policy value and may transfer amounts back and forth between the PAM Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP—Service Class subaccount (which invests in the Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP—Service Class portfolio of the Transamerica Series Trust) or certain guaranteed period options of the fixed account (each a “PAM investment choice” and collectively, the “PAM investment choices”) and the variable investment choices you choose. You should read the underlying fund prospectus for the variable PAM investment choice(s) carefully before you elect the Living Benefits Rider. We will transfer amounts from your variable investment choices to the PAM investment choices to the extent we deem, at our sole discretion, necessary to support the guarantees under the rider. We will transfer amounts to the PAM investment choices proportionally from all your variable investment choices. Currently, PAM transfers are being made to the PAM Transamerica U.S. Government SecuritiesVP—Service Class subaccount.

PAM is designed to help reduce portfolio risk associated with negative performance. Using PAM, we will transfer amounts from your variable investment choices to the PAM investment choices to the extent we deem, in our sole discretion, necessary to help manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the Living Benefits Rider. You should not view the Living Benefits Rider nor PAM as a “market timing” or other type of investment

program designed to enhance your policy value. If you choose this rider, it may result in a lower policy value in certain situations. If policy value is transferred from your chosen variable investment choices to the PAM investment choices, less of your policy value may be available to participate in any future positive investment performance of your variable investment choices. This may potentially provide a lower policy value than if you did not select the Living Benefits Rider.

We will use a mathematical model to compare your policy value and the guarantees to be provided in the future. Based upon this comparison, we may transfer some or all of your policy value to or from the PAM investment choices.

You may not allocate premium payments to, nor transfer policy value into or out of, the PAM investment choices. PAM transfers are not subject to any transfer fee and do not count against the number of any free transfers we allow. Transfers out of a fixed account PAM investment choice are at our discretion and may be subject to an excess interest adjustment if the transfer occurs before the end of a guarantee period. Any transfer to your variable investment choices will be allocated into your variable investment choices in proportion to the amount of policy value in each variable investment choice.

Generally, transfers to the PAM investment choices first occur when the policy value drops by a cumulative amount of 3% to 5% over any period of time, although we may make transfers to the PAM investment choices when the policy value drops by less than 3%. If the policy value continues to fall, more transfers to the PAM investment choices will occur. When a transfer occurs, the transferred policy value is allocated to the PAM investment choice(s) we deem appropriate. The policy value allocated to the PAM investment choices will remain there unless the performance of your chosen investment choices recovers sufficiently to enable us to transfer amounts back to your investment choices while maintaining the guarantees under the Living Benefits Rider. This generally occurs when the policy value increases by 5% to 10% in relation to the guarantees, although we may require a larger increase before transferring amounts back to your investment options.

Upgrades

Prior to the annuitant’s 86th birthday and after the third rider anniversary, you can upgrade the total withdrawal base and guaranteed future value to the policy value by sending us written notice. The minimum remaining withdrawal amounts will also be upgraded to the policy value and the maximum annual withdrawal amounts will be recalculated.

If an upgrade is elected, your current rider will terminate and a new rider will be issued with a new rider date, guaranteed future value date, and its own rider fee percentage (which may be higher than your current rider fee percentage). The “principal back” and “for life” withdrawal percentages will not change. The new rider date will be the date the Company receives all necessary information.

Annuitization

If you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to your 5% “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount.

Termination

The Living Benefits Rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:

 

   

the date we receive written notice from you in good order requesting termination of the Living Benefits Rider (you may not terminate the rider before the third rider anniversary);

 

   

annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you

 

65


Table of Contents
 

may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your 5% “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount); or

 

   

termination of your policy.

Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date.

The Living Benefits Rider may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states. This disclosure explains the material features of the Living Benefits Rider. The application and operation of the rider are governed by the terms and conditions of the rider itself.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider

You may elect to purchase the optional Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider which, provides you with: (1) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit; and (2) an opportunity for increases in the rider withdrawal amount. This rider is available during the accumulation phase, and requires that you allocate 100% of your policy value according to either the designated allocation option or open allocation option both of which are designed to help manage the Company’s risk and support the guarantees under the rider. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax advisor before electing the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider for a qualified policy.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 – Base Benefit

Under this benefit, you can receive up to the rider withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary, as payments from us), starting with the rider year immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s death (unless your withdrawal base is reduced to zero because of an “excess withdrawal”; see Withdrawal Base Adjustments and Rider Death Benefit Adjustments, below). A rider year begins on the rider date (the date the rider becomes effective) and thereafter on each anniversary of that date.

Example. Assume you are the owner and annuitant and you make a single premium payment of $100,000 when you are 66 years old. Further assume that you do not make any withdrawals or additional premium payments, no automatic step-ups occurred, but that after five years your policy value has declined to $90,000 solely because of negative investment performance. With an annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%, after 5 years the withdrawal base is equal to $127,628 ($100,000 x 1.055). You could receive up to $5,105 which is the applicable withdrawal percentage of 5.0% for the single life option multiplied by the withdrawal base of $127,628, each rider year for the rest of your life (assuming that you take your first withdrawal when you are age 71, that you do not withdraw more than the rider withdrawal amount in any one year and there are no future automatic step-ups.)

Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion.

Example continued. Assume the same facts as above, but you withdraw $10,000 when you are 71 years old. That excess withdrawal decreases your future rider withdrawal amount to $4,811.

See the “Appendix—Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.

Please note:

 

   

You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever.

 

66


Table of Contents
 

We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.

 

   

We have designed this rider to allow for withdrawals from your policy value each rider year that are less than or equal to the rider withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.

 

   

The longer you wait to start making withdrawals under the benefit, the less time you have to benefit from the guarantee because of decreasing life expectancy as you age. On the other hand, the longer you wait to begin making withdrawals, the higher your withdrawal percentage may be, the higher the withdrawal base due to growth may be, and the more opportunities you will have to lock in a higher withdrawal base. You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals. There is a risk that you will not begin making withdrawals at the most financially beneficial time for you.

 

   

Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the rider withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.

 

   

All policy value must be allocated according to the Designated Allocation option or the Open Allocation option. You should consult with your registered representative to assist you in determining whether the investment restrictions attributable to each option are suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.

 

   

Cumulative withdrawals in any rider year that are in excess of the rider withdrawal amount are excess withdrawals.

 

   

An excess withdrawal may impact the withdrawal base, and rider death benefit (if applicable) on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis.

 

   

Any withdrawal will reduce your rider death benefit (if applicable).

 

   

Upon the death of the annuitant (or the death of the surviving spouse if the joint option is elected), the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider terminates and all benefits thereunder cease.

Like all withdrawals, withdrawals while this rider is in effect also:

 

   

reduce your policy value;

 

   

reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;

 

   

may be subject to surrender charges and excess interest adjustments;

 

   

may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties; and

 

   

may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.

Rider Withdrawal Amount. You can withdraw up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (after age 59) from your policy value without causing an excess withdrawal. See “Withdrawal Base Adjustments” and “Rider Death Benefit Adjustments” below.

The rider withdrawal amount is zero if the annuitant is not 59 years old on the rider date and remains zero until the first day of the rider year after the annuitant’s 59th birthday. If the annuitant (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is at least 59 years old on the rider date, then the rider withdrawal amount is equal to the withdrawal base multiplied by the withdrawal percentage (see below).

 

67


Table of Contents

For qualified policies: If the plan participant (generally the annuitant) is at least 70 1/2 years old, the rider withdrawal amount for that rider year (and each subsequent rider year) is equal to the greater of:

 

   

the rider withdrawal amount described above; or

 

   

an amount equal to any minimum required distribution amount (for the tax year on that rider anniversary) calculated using only: (1) the living annuitant’s age, (2) the IRS Uniform Lifetime table or, if applicable, the Joint Life and Survivor Expectancy table, (3) the policy value of the base policy, (including the present value of any additional benefits provided under the policy to the extent required to be taken into account under IRS guidance) and (4) amounts from the current calendar year (no carry-over from past years).

Only amounts calculated as set forth above can be used as the rider withdrawal amount. If the minimum required distribution amount (determined as set forth above) exceeds the rider withdrawal amount, the excess will not be treated as an excess withdrawal under the rider.

If your policy value reaches zero, then you cannot make premium payments and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. In order to receive benefits guaranteed by this rider after your policy value reaches zero, you must select the amount and frequency of future payments. Once selected, the amount and frequency cannot be changed.

Please note:

 

   

If the rider is added prior to the annuitant’s 59th birthday, the rider withdrawal amount will be zero until the beginning of the rider year after the annuitant’s 59th birthday, however, you will still be charged a rider fee prior to this time.

 

   

You cannot carry over any portion of your rider withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the entire rider withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the rider withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider’s guarantees.

 

   

Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.

 

   

All policy value must be allocated according to either the Designated Allocation option or the Open Allocation option. (See “Allocation Options and Restrictions.”)

Withdrawal Percentage. We use the withdrawal percentage to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) at the time of the first withdrawal taken on or after the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. The withdrawal percentage is as follows:

 

Age at time of

first

withdrawal

  

Withdrawal

Percentage—

Single Life

Option

  

Withdrawal

Percentage—

Joint Life

Option

0-58

   0.0%    0.0%

59-64

   4.0%    3.5%

65-74

   5.0%    4.5%

³ 75

   6.0%    5.5%

Please note, once established, the withdrawal percentage will not generally increase even though the annuitant’s age increases except in certain instances involving automatic step-ups.

Withdrawal Base. We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (less any premium enhancement, if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the withdrawal base is equal to the withdrawal base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus

 

68


Table of Contents

subsequent premium payments, less subsequent withdrawal base adjustments due to excess withdrawals.

Please note:

 

   

We determine the withdrawal base solely to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. Your withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.

 

   

Because the withdrawal base is generally equal to the policy value on the rider date, the rider withdrawal amount may be lower if you delay electing the rider and the policy value decreases before you elect the rider.

On each rider anniversary, the withdrawal base will equal the greatest of:

 

   

Current withdrawal base;

 

   

The withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary, increased by the growth credit, if any (see “Growth” below);

 

   

The policy value on any monthiversary, including the current rider anniversary (see “Automatic Step-Up” below).

Growth. On each of the first ten rider anniversaries, we will add an annual growth credit to your withdrawal base if no withdrawal occurred during the preceding rider year. The annual growth credit is equal to 5.0% of the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary (i.e., withdrawal base x 0.05).

Please note: Because a withdrawal will eliminate a potential growth credit for that rider year, you should consider your need or possible need to take withdrawals within the first 10 rider years in deciding whether to purchase the rider.

Automatic Step-Up. On each rider anniversary, we will automatically step-up the withdrawal base to an amount equal to the greater of (1) the highest policy value on any monthiversary during the preceding rider year, if no excess withdrawal occurred, or (2) the policy value on the rider anniversary. This comparison takes place after the application of any applicable annual growth credit. The withdrawal percentage (as indicated in the withdrawal percentage table) will also increase if you have crossed into another age band prior to the automatic step-up.

Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of any automatic step-up. The rider fee percentage will not exceed the maximum rider fee percentage in the fee table.

Automatic Step-Up Opt Out. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base, withdrawal percentage, and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up, provided that you do so within 30 days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection (each time you elect to opt out), in good order, at our Administrative and Service Office within the same 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Opting out of one step-up does not operate as an opt-out of any future step-ups.

Withdrawal Base Adjustments. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year will not reduce the withdrawal base. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (“excess withdrawals”) will reduce the withdrawal base, however, by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal (if the policy value is greater than the withdrawal base) or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in the

 

69


Table of Contents

policy value when the policy value is less than the withdrawal base), possibly to zero. Withdrawal base adjustments occur immediately following excess withdrawals. See “Appendix—Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Adjusted Partial Surrenders -Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the withdrawal base by a pro rata amount. The effect of an excess withdrawal is amplified if the policy value is less than the withdrawal base. See the “Appendix—Guaranteed Lifetime Benefit Adjustment Partial Surrenders -Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider” for examples showing the effect hypothetical excess withdrawals in more detail.

Please Note: We do not monitor for, or notify you of, excess withdrawals. If you take regular or scheduled withdrawals please pay particular attention to any excess withdrawal because your otherwise regular or scheduled non-excess withdrawals may thereafter all be excess withdrawals that reduce or eliminate your benefit on an accelerated basis.

Allocation Options and Restrictions. If you elect this rider, you must allocate 100% of your policy value according to either the Designated Allocation option or the Open Allocation option. Transfers will be permitted between the Designated Allocation option and the Open Allocation option at any time.

Designated Allocation Option. Under the Designated Allocation option, you must designate 100% of your policy value into one or more of the designated investment options in the following designated allocation groups:

Transfers between the designated investment options in the Designated Allocation option are allowed as permitted under the policy; however, transfers as provided for in the policy from a designated investment option to a non-designated investment option are not permitted unless you change your allocation option to the Open Allocation option.

Open Allocation Option. Under the Open Allocation option, you may allocate to any investment options available under the policy.

If you elect the Open Allocation option, the OA Method will automatically be in effect. The OA Method uses a mathematical model which is designed to help the Company manage portfolio risk and support the guarantees under the rider. Under the OA Method, the mathematical model monitors your policy value and guarantees under the rider and transfers amounts back and forth between the OA Transamerica ProFund UltraBear VP subaccount or certain other subaccounts we choose (each an “OA subaccount” and collectively, the “OA subaccounts”) and the variable investment options you choose to the extent necessary to support the benefit guarantees. You will still have complete discretion over the selection of, and allocation to, the variable investment options for any portion of your policy value that the OA Method does not allocate to the OA subaccounts. You should read the underlying fund prospectus for the variable OA subaccounts carefully before you elect the Open Allocation option.

Transfers to the OA subaccounts according to the mathematical model will be proportionally from all your variable investment options. This mathematical model will not change once you purchase the rider, but we may use a different model for riders issued in the future.

The OA Method is designed to help manage the Company’s portfolio risk associated with negative performance and support the guarantees under the rider. You should not view the rider nor the OA Method as a “market timing” or other type of investment program designed to enhance your policy value. If you choose the Open Allocation option, it may result in a lower policy value in certain situations. If policy value is transferred from your chosen variable investment options to the OA subaccounts, less of your policy value may be available to participate in any future positive investment performance of your variable investment options. This may potentially provide a lower policy value than if you did not select the Open Allocation option.

Under the OA Method, the mathematical model compares a number of interrelated factors including your policy value and the guarantees under the rider to be provided in the future. The mathematical model also uses assumptions for interest rates, the duration of the policy and stock market volatility. The following table sets forth the most influential of these factors and indicates how each one (assuming all other factors remain constant) could trigger a transfer into or out of the OA subaccounts.

 

Factor

  

Direction of Transfer

Policy Value Increases    Transfer to the investment options
Policy Value Decreases    Transfer to the OA subaccounts
Interest Rates Increase    Transfer to the investment options
Volatility Increases    Transfer to the OA subaccounts

The amount of the transfer will vary depending on the magnitude and direction of the change in these factors.

Transactions you make also affect the number of OA transfers including:

 

   

additional premium payments; and

 

   

excess withdrawals.

 

71


Table of Contents

These transactions will change the policy value relative to the guarantees under the rider and may result in additional OA transfers.

You may not allocate premium payments to, nor transfer policy value into or out of, the OA subaccounts. OA Method transfers are not subject to any transfer fee and do not count against the number of any free transfers we allow. Any transfer to your variable investment options will be allocated into your variable investment options in proportion to the amount of policy value in each variable investment option.

Generally, transfers to the OA subaccounts first occur when the policy value drops by a cumulative amount of 2% to 5% over any period of time, although the mathematical model may make transfers to the OA subaccounts when the policy value drops by less than 3%. The mathematical model will not transfer more than 20% of the policy value to the OA subaccounts. If the policy value continues to fall, no more transfers to the OA subaccounts will occur. However, up to 30% of the policy value could be in the OA subaccounts due to negative performance of the investment options. If negative investment performance causes the percentage of the policy value in the OA subaccounts to exceed 30% then the mathematical model will transfer the excess policy value back into your investment options. The policy value allocated to the OA subaccounts will remain there unless your policy value recovers sufficiently to enable us to transfer amounts back to your investment options while maintaining the guarantees under the rider. This generally occurs when the policy value increases by 2.5% to 10% in relation to the guarantees under the rider, although the mathematical model may require a larger increase before transferring amounts back to your investment options.

The Daily Rebalancing Formula Under the Mathematical Model: As noted above, to limit our exposure under the rider, we transfer policy value from your investment options to the OA subaccounts, to the extent called for by a mathematical model that will not change once you purchase the policy. We do this in order to minimize the need to provide payments (for example, when your policy value goes to zero by other than an excess withdrawal), or to extend the time before any payment is required. When payments become more likely (because your policy value is approaching zero), the mathematical model will tend to allocate more policy value to the OA subaccounts. If, on the other hand, the policy value is much higher than the guarantees under the rider, then payments may not be necessary, and therefore, the mathematical model will tend to allocate more policy value to the investment options.

Each business day the mathematical model computes a “target allocation,” which is the portion of the policy value that is to be allocated to the investment options.

The target allocation depends on several factors, including the policy value as compared to the guarantees under the rider, the time until payments are likely required, and interest rates. However, as time passes, these factors change. Therefore, the target allocation changes from one business day to the next.

See “Appendix—OA Method Transfers” in the SAI for more detail regarding the workings of the mathematical model, including the formula used to compute the allocation on a daily basis.

Please Note: The OA Transamerica ProFunds UltraBear VP subaccount invests in the Transamerica ProFunds UltraBear VP portfolio which is designed to seek daily investment results, before fees and expenses that correspond to twice (200%) the inverse (opposite) of the daily performance of the S&P 500 Index. Please read the prospectus for the Transamerica ProFunds UltraBear VP portfolio to understand how its investment objective may affect

Table of Contents

your policy value if OA Method transfers occur to the OA Transamerica ProFunds UltraBear VP subaccount.

You cannot allocate premium payments or transfers to the OA subaccounts.

Please note:

 

   

If you no longer want to be subject to an allocation option, you will be required to terminate the rider. If you terminate the rider you will lose all of its benefits.

 

   

We can change or eliminate a designated allocation group at any time. If this occurs, then a policy owner will be required to reallocate values in the affected designated investment options to other designated investment options that meet the allocation requirements.

Manual Upgrades. You can upgrade the withdrawal base to the policy value during the 30-day period following each successive fifth rider anniversary by sending us written notice in a form acceptable to us, as long as the rider issue requirements for a new rider are met. At this time the rider withdrawal amount and, if applicable, the rider death benefit will be recalculated. If an upgrade is elected, your current rider will terminate and a new rider will be issued with a new rider date, its own rider fee percentage (which may be higher or lower than your current rider fee percentage) and its own terms and benefits (which may not be as advantageous as the current rider); and any options you elect to change or add. The new rider date will be the date the Company receives all necessary information in good order. You cannot elect a manual upgrade if the annuitant (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint option is elected) is 86 or older.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 – Additional Options

You may elect the following options with this rider (the options are not mutually exclusive):

 

   

Death Benefit;

 

   

Joint Life; and

 

   

Income Enhancement.

There is an additional fee if you elect the Death Benefit and/or the Income Enhancement Benefit option(s) under the rider. If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower. Furthermore, if you elect the Joint Life option in combination with the Death Benefit and/or the Income Enhancement Benefit option(s), then the fee for each of those additional options will be different than under the Single Life option. See “Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Additional Option Fees”.

1. Death Benefit. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to add an additional amount to the death benefit payable under the base policy, upon the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option is selected, the annuitant’s spouse). The additional amount will be equal to the excess, if any, of the rider death benefit over the greater of any optional guaranteed minimum death benefit or the base policy death benefit. The additional amount can be zero. See “Section 8. Death Benefit.”

Rider Death Benefit. The rider death benefit on the rider date is the policy value (less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the rider death benefit is equal to:

 

   

the rider death benefit on the rider date; plus

 

   

subsequent premium payments; less

 

   

adjustments for withdrawals (as described under “Rider Death Benefit Adjustments,” below).

Rider Death Benefit Adjustments. Gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit by the greater of

 

73


Table of Contents

the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in policy value), and possibly to zero. See “Appendix -Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Adjusted Partial Surrenders—Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that results in pro rata adjustments. Rider death benefit adjustments occur immediately following all withdrawals.

Please note:

 

   

No additional death benefit is payable if the base policy death benefit (including the guaranteed minimum death benefit) exceeds the rider death benefit. The greater the death benefit payable under the guaranteed minimum death benefit selected, the more likely it is that an additional amount will not be payable under the rider death benefit option.

 

   

Excess withdrawals may eliminate the additional death benefit available with this rider. You will continue to pay the fee for this option, even if the additional death benefit available under the rider is $0.

 

   

Manual upgrades to the withdrawal base will result in a recalculation of the rider death benefit. However, automatic step-ups will not reset the rider death benefit.

 

   

If an owner who is not the annuitant dies and the surviving spouse continues the policy, then no additional amount is payable. If the policy is not continued, then the surviving owner (who is also the sole beneficiary) may elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to the rider withdrawal amount divided by the number of payments each year instead of receiving the policy’s cash value. Please note that under federal tax law, upon the death of an owner, only a “spouse,” as defined under the Federal Defense of Marriage Act is permitted to continue a policy without taking required distributions. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)

The additional death benefit payment option may be referred to as “minimum remaining withdrawal amount” on your policy statement and other documents.

2. Joint Life Benefit. If you elect this rider, then you can also elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse’s death (only if the annuitant’s spouse continues the policy).

Please note:

 

   

The withdrawal percentage for each “age at the time of first withdrawal” is lower if you elect this option.

 

   

The annuitant’s spouse must be either a joint owner along with the annuitant or the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner), if you elect this option.

 

   

A former spouse of the annuitant cannot continue to keep the policy in force if no longer married to the annuitant at the time of the annuitant’s death. In that event, the rider will terminate and no additional withdrawals under the rider will be permitted.

 

   

The annuitant’s spouse for purposes of this rider cannot be changed to a new spouse.

 

   

The rider withdrawal percentage is based on the age of the younger of the annuitant and annuitant’s spouse, if you elect this option.

 

   

The rider death benefit is not payable until the death of the surviving spouse, if you elect this option.

 

   

You cannot elect a manual upgrade if the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (lower if required by state law).

3. Income Enhancement Benefit. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to have your withdrawal percentage double if either the annuitant (or the

 

74


Table of Contents

annuitant’s spouse if the joint life option is elected) is confined, because of a medical necessity, in a hospital or nursing facility and has been so confined for the elimination period (180 days within the last 365 days). Benefits from this option are not available unless the rider has been in effect for 12 months (the “waiting period”). The elimination period and waiting period can, but do not need to, run concurrently.

Please note:

 

   

You cannot elect the Income Enhancement Option if the qualifying person or persons is/are already confined in a hospital or nursing facility.

 

   

The increase to the withdrawal percentage stops when the qualifying person or persons is/are no longer confined as described above.

We will require confirmation of confinement while benefits are being received. Confirmation of confinement may be a physician’s statement, a statement from a hospital or nursing facility administrator, or any other information satisfactory to us which may include information from third party or company interviews and/or visits of the facility. If confinement ceases, you may re-qualify by satisfying a 180-day elimination period requirement.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Fees

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Base Rider Fee. The base rider fee is calculated on the rider date and at the beginning of each rider quarter. The base rider fee will be adjusted for any premium additions, excess withdrawals, transfers between designated investment groups, or changes to other allocation options during the rider quarter. It will be deducted automatically from your policy value at the end of each rider quarter.

On an annual basis, in general terms, the base rider fee is the applicable “rider fee percentage” (see the Fee Table) times the withdrawal base.

The Open Allocation option base quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) by (C), where:

 

  (A) is the withdrawal base;

 

  (B) is the rider fee percentage; and

 

  (C) is the number of remaining days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.

The Designated Allocation option base quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) divided by (C) multiplied by (D), where:

 

  (A) is the withdrawal base;

 

  (B) is the sum of each designated investment group’s rider fee percentage multiplied by the applicable designated investment group’s value;

 

  (C) is the total policy value; and

 

  (D) is the number of remaining days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.

We will assess a prorated rider fee upon termination of the rider for the period beginning on the first day of the most recent rider quarter and ending on the date of termination.

Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of an automatic step-up. Each time an automatic step-up will result in a rider fee percentage increase, you will have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up (adjusted for any subsequent premium payments or withdrawals), provided that you do so within 30 calendar days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection, in good order, at our Administrative and Service Office within the 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred.

 

75


Table of Contents

Please note regarding the base rider fee:

 

   

Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, it could be a much higher percentage of your policy value, particularly in the event that your policy value decreases significantly.

 

   

Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, the amount of the base rider fee we deduct will increase if the withdrawal base increases (although the percentage(s) may remain the same).

 

   

If you make a transfer from one designated allocation group to another designated allocation group that has a higher rider fee percentage, then the resulting rider fee will be higher.

Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Transfers. For transfers that you make between different designated investment options in different designated allocation groups or different allocation options on other than the first business day of a rider quarter, a “rider fee adjustment” will be applied. This adjustment is necessary because of differences in the rider fee percentages. The adjustment in the rider fee percentage will ensure that you are charged the correct overall rider fee. The base rider fee adjustment will be calculated using the same formula as the base rider fee and compare the fee for the remainder of the rider quarter to the initially calculated fee for the same period. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be allocated.

Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Premium Payments and Excess Withdrawals. A rider fee adjustment will also be calculated for subsequent premium payments and excess withdrawals because these events will change the withdrawal base. The rider fee adjustment will be calculated using the same formula as the base rider fee and compare the fee for the remainder of the rider quarter to the initially calculated fee for the same period. As with the rider fee adjustments calculated for transfers, the rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.

Additional Option Fees. If you elect options with this rider, then you will be charged a fee for each option you elect that is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit (see the Fee Table). Each additional fee is charged quarterly before annuitization and is a percentage of the withdrawal base on each rider anniversary.

We will also deduct all rider fees pro rata upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider Issue Requirements

The Company will not issue the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider unless:

 

   

the annuitant is not yet age 86 (lower if required by state law);

 

   

the annuitant is also an owner (except in the case of non-natural owners);

 

   

there are no more than two owners; and

 

   

if the joint life option is elected, the annuitant’s spouse is also not yet 86 (lower if required by state law) and (1) is a joint owner along with the annuitant or (2) is the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner).

Termination

The Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider and any additional options will terminate upon the earliest of the following:

 

   

the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received by us during the 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary or every fifth rider anniversary thereafter;

 

76


Table of Contents
   

the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option was elected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if that spouse continued the policy as the surviving spouse);

 

   

annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your rider withdrawal amount); or

 

   

termination of your policy.

Please note: This rider terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date at which time your policy will be annuitized according to its terms. However, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments which are at least equal to your rider withdrawal amount. Please contact us for more information concerning your options.

The Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider and additional options may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states. This disclosure explains the material features of the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider. The application and operation of the rider are governed by the terms and conditions of the rider itself.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider

You may elect to purchase the optional Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider which, provides you with: (1) a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit; and (2) an opportunity for increases in the rider withdrawal amount. This rider is available during the accumulation phase, and requires that you allocate 100% of your policy value in certain designated investment choices which are designed to help manage the Company’s risk and support the guarantees under the rider. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of this rider. Please consult a qualified tax advisor before electing the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider for a qualified policy.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 – Base Benefit

Under this benefit, you can receive up to the rider withdrawal amount each rider year (first as withdrawals from your policy value and, if necessary, as payments from us), starting with the rider year immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday and lasting until the annuitant’s death (unless your withdrawal base is reduced to zero because of an “excess withdrawal”; see Withdrawal Base Adjustments and Rider Death Benefit Adjustments, below). A rider year begins on the rider date (the date the rider becomes effective) and thereafter on each anniversary of that date.

Of course, you can always withdraw an amount up to your cash value pursuant to your rights under the policy at your discretion.

See the “Appendix—Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail.

Please note:

 

   

You will begin paying the rider charge as of the date the rider takes effect, even if you do not begin taking withdrawals for many years, or ever. We will not refund the charges you have paid under the rider if you never choose to take withdrawals and/or if you never receive any payments under the rider.

 

   

We have designed this rider to allow for withdrawals from your policy value each rider year that are less than or equal to the rider withdrawal amount. You should not purchase this rider if you plan to take withdrawals in

 

77


Table of Contents
 

excess of the rider withdrawal amount, because such excess withdrawals may significantly reduce or eliminate the value of the guarantees provided by the rider.

 

   

The longer you wait to start making withdrawals under the benefit, the less time you have to benefit from the guarantee because of decreasing life expectancy as you age. On the other hand, the longer you wait to begin making withdrawals, the higher your withdrawal percentage may be, the higher the withdrawal base due to growth may be, and the more opportunities you will have to lock in a higher withdrawal base. You should carefully consider when to begin making withdrawals. There is a risk that you will not begin making withdrawals at the most financially beneficial time for you.

 

   

Because the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit under this rider is accessed through regular withdrawals that do not exceed the rider withdrawal amount, the rider may not be appropriate for you if you do not foresee a need for liquidity and your primary objective is to take maximum advantage of the tax deferral aspect of the policy.

 

   

All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified funds. You should consult with your registered representative to assist you in determining whether these certain investment options are suited for your financial needs and risk tolerance.

 

   

Cumulative withdrawals in any rider year that are in excess of the rider withdrawal amount are excess withdrawals.

 

   

An excess withdrawal may impact the withdrawal base, and rider death benefit (if applicable) on a greater than dollar-for-dollar basis.

 

   

Any withdrawal will reduce your rider death benefit (if applicable).

 

   

Upon the death of the annuitant (or the death of the surviving spouse if the joint option is elected), the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider terminates and all benefits thereunder cease.

Like all withdrawals, withdrawals while this rider is in effect also:

 

   

reduce your policy value;

 

   

reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;

 

   

may be subject to surrender charges and excess interest adjustments;

 

   

may be subject to income taxes and federal tax penalties; and

 

   

may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.

Rider Withdrawal Amount. You can withdraw up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (after age 59) from your policy value without causing an excess withdrawal. See “Withdrawal Base Adjustments” and “Rider Death Benefit Adjustments” below.

The rider withdrawal amount is zero if the annuitant is not 59 years old on the rider date and remains zero until the first day of the rider year after the annuitant’s 59th birthday. If the annuitant (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) is at least 59 years old on the rider date, then the rider withdrawal amount is equal to the withdrawal base multiplied by the withdrawal percentage (see below).

For qualified policies: If the plan participant (generally the annuitant) is at least 70 1/2 years old, the rider withdrawal amount for that rider year (and each subsequent rider year) is equal to the greater of:

 

   

the rider withdrawal amount described above; or

 

   

an amount equal to any minimum required distribution amount (for the tax year on that rider anniversary) calculated using only: (1) the living annuitant’s age, (2) the IRS Uniform

 

78


Table of Contents
 

Lifetime table or, if applicable, the Joint Life and Survivor Expectancy table, (3) the policy value of the base policy, (including the present value of any additional benefits provided under the policy to the extent required to be taken into account under IRS guidance) and (4) amounts from the current calendar year (no carry-over from past years).

Only amounts calculated as set forth above can be used as the rider withdrawal amount. If the minimum required distribution amount (determined as set forth above) exceeds the rider withdrawal amount, the excess will not be treated as an excess withdrawal under the rider.

If your policy value reaches zero, then you cannot make premium payments and all other policy features, benefits, and guarantees (except those provided by this rider) are terminated. In order to receive benefits guaranteed by this rider after your policy value reaches zero, you must select the amount and frequency of future payments. Once selected, the amount and frequency cannot be changed.

Please note:

 

   

If the rider is added prior to the annuitant’s 59th birthday, the rider withdrawal amount will be zero until the beginning of the rider year after the annuitant’s 59th birthday, however, you will still be charged a rider fee prior to this time.

 

   

You cannot carry over any portion of your rider withdrawal amount that is not withdrawn during a rider year for withdrawal in a future rider year. This means that if you do not take the entire rider withdrawal amount during a rider year, you cannot take more than the rider withdrawal amount in the next rider year and maintain the rider’s guarantees.

 

   

Excess withdrawals may cause you to lose the benefit of the rider.

 

   

All policy value must be allocated to a limited number of specified funds. (See “Designated Investment Options.”)

Withdrawal Percentage. We use the withdrawal percentage to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal percentage is determined by the annuitant’s age (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) at the time of the first withdrawal taken on or after the rider anniversary immediately following the annuitant’s (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint life option is elected) 59th birthday. The withdrawal percentage is as follows:

 

Age at time of

first

withdrawal

  

Withdrawal

Percentage—

Single Life

Option

  

Withdrawal

Percentage—

Joint Life

Option

0-58

   0.0%    0.0%

59-64

   4.0%    3.5%

65-74

   5.0%    4.5%

³ 75

   6.0%    5.5%

Please note, once established, the withdrawal percentage will not generally increase even though the annuitant’s age increases except in certain instances involving automatic step-ups.

Withdrawal Base. We use the withdrawal base to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. The withdrawal base on the rider date is the policy value (less any premium enhancement, if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the withdrawal base is equal to the withdrawal base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus subsequent premium payments, less subsequent withdrawal base adjustments due to excess withdrawals.

Please note:

 

   

We determine the withdrawal base solely to calculate the rider withdrawal amount. Your withdrawal base is not a cash value, a surrender value, or a death benefit. It is not available for withdrawal, it is not a minimum return for any subaccount, and it is not a guarantee of policy value.

 

79


Table of Contents
   

Because the withdrawal base is generally equal to the policy value on the rider date, the rider withdrawal amount may be lower if you delay electing the rider and the policy value decreases before you elect the rider.

On each rider anniversary, the withdrawal base will equal the greatest of:

 

   

Current withdrawal base;

 

   

The withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary, increased by the growth credit, if any (see “Growth” below);

 

   

The policy value on any monthiversary, including the current rider anniversary (see “Automatic Step-Up” below).

Growth. On each of the first ten rider anniversaries, we will add an annual growth credit to your withdrawal base if no withdrawal occurred during the preceding rider year. The annual growth credit is equal to 5.0% of the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary (i.e., withdrawal base x 0.05).

Please note: Because a withdrawal will eliminate a potential growth credit for that rider year, you should consider your need or possible need to take withdrawals within the first 10 rider years in deciding whether to purchase the rider.

Automatic Step-Up. On each rider anniversary, we will automatically step-up the withdrawal base to an amount equal to the greater of (1) the highest policy value on any monthiversary during the preceding rider year, if no excess withdrawal occurred, or (2) the policy value on the rider anniversary. This comparison takes place after the application of any applicable annual growth credit. The withdrawal percentage (as indicated in the withdrawal percentage table) will also increase if you have crossed into another age band prior to the automatic step-up.

Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of any automatic step-up. The rider fee percentage will not exceed the maximum rider fee percentage in the fee table.

Automatic Step-Up Opt Out. Each time an automatic step-up results in a rider fee percentage increase, you have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base, withdrawal percentage, and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up, provided that you do so within 30 days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection (each time you elect to opt out), in good order, at our Administrative and Service Office within the same 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. Opting out of one step-up does not operate as an opt-out of any future step-ups.

Withdrawal Base Adjustments. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year will not reduce the withdrawal base. Cumulative gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in any rider year (“excess withdrawals”) will reduce the withdrawal base, however, by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal (if the policy value is greater than the withdrawal base) or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in the policy value when the policy value is less than the withdrawal base), possibly to zero. Withdrawal base adjustments occur immediately following excess withdrawals. See “Appendix - Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Adjusted Partial Surrenders -Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that reduces the withdrawal base by a pro rata amount. The effect of an excess withdrawal is amplified if the policy value is less than the

Table of Contents

withdrawal base. See the “Appendix - Guaranteed Lifetime Benefit Adjustment Partial Surrenders - Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider” for examples showing the effect hypothetical excess withdrawals in more detail.

Please Note: We do not monitor for, or notify you of, excess withdrawals. If you take regular or scheduled withdrawals please pay particular attention to any excess withdrawal because your otherwise regular or scheduled non-excess withdrawals may thereafter all be excess withdrawals that reduce or eliminate your benefit on an accelerated basis.

Fixed Account

Transfers between the designated investment options are allowed as permitted under the policy; however, you cannot transfer any amount (or allocate premium payments) to any non-designated investment option. Within 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary (and each successive fifth rider anniversary), you can terminate this rider. Starting the next business day, you may transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option. Terminating the rider will result in losing all your benefits under the rider.

Please note:

 

   

The earliest you can transfer (or allocate premium payments) to a non-designated investment option is the first business day after the fifth rider anniversary. You will be required to terminate the rider first (and lose its benefits).

   

We can change a designated allocation group or eliminate a designated investment option at any time. If this occurs, then a policy owner will be required to reallocate values in the affected

 

81


Table of Contents
 

designated investment options to other designated investment options that meet the allocation requirements.

Manual Upgrades. You can upgrade the withdrawal base to the policy value during the 30-day period following each successive fifth rider anniversary by sending us written notice in a form acceptable to us, as long as the rider issue requirements for a new rider are met. At this time the rider withdrawal amount and, if applicable, the rider death benefit will be recalculated. If an upgrade is elected, your current rider will terminate and a new rider will be issued with a new rider date, its own rider fee percentage (which may be higher or lower than your current rider fee percentage) and its own terms and benefits (which may not be as advantageous as the current rider); and any options you elect to change or add. The new rider date will be the date the Company receives all necessary information in good order. You cannot elect a manual upgrade if the annuitant (or the annuitant’s spouse if younger and the joint option is elected) is 86 or older.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 – Additional Options

You may elect the following options with this rider (the options are not mutually exclusive):

 

   

Death Benefit;

 

   

Joint Life; and

 

   

Income Enhancement.

There is an additional fee if you elect the Death Benefit and/or the Income Enhancement Benefit option(s) under the rider. If you elect the Joint Life option, then the withdrawal percentage (used to calculate the rider withdrawal amount) is lower. Furthermore, if you elect the Joint Life option in combination with the Death Benefit and/or the Income Enhancement Benefit option(s), then the fee for each of those additional options will be different than under the Single Life option. See “Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider and Additional Option Fees”.

1. Death Benefit. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to add an additional amount to the death benefit payable under the base policy, upon the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option is selected, the annuitant’s spouse). The additional amount will be equal to the excess, if any, of the rider death benefit over the greater of any optional guaranteed minimum death benefit or the base policy death benefit. The additional amount can be zero. See “Section 8. Death Benefit.”

Rider Death Benefit. The rider death benefit on the rider date is the policy value (less any premium enhancement if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the rider death benefit is equal to:

 

   

the rider death benefit on the rider date; plus

 

   

subsequent premium payments; less

 

   

adjustments for withdrawals (as described under “Rider Death Benefit Adjustments,” below).

Rider Death Benefit Adjustments. Gross partial withdrawals up to the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the rider withdrawal amount in a rider year will reduce the rider death benefit by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount (in proportion to the reduction in policy value), and possibly to zero. See “Appendix -Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Adjusted Partial Surrenders - Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider” for examples showing the effect of hypothetical withdrawals in more detail, including an excess withdrawal that results in pro rata adjustments. Rider death benefit adjustments occur immediately following all withdrawals.

 

82


Table of Contents

Please note:

 

   

No additional death benefit is payable if the base policy death benefit (including the guaranteed minimum death benefit) exceeds the rider death benefit. The greater the death benefit payable under the guaranteed minimum death benefit selected, the more likely it is that an additional amount will not be payable under the rider death benefit option.

 

   

Excess withdrawals may eliminate the additional death benefit available with this rider. You will continue to pay the fee for this option, even if the additional death benefit available under the rider is $0.

 

   

Manual upgrades to the withdrawal base will result in a recalculation of the rider death benefit. However, automatic step-ups will not reset the rider death benefit.

 

   

If an owner who is not the annuitant dies and the surviving spouse continues the policy, then no additional amount is payable. If the policy is not continued, then the surviving owner (who is also the sole beneficiary) may elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to the rider withdrawal amount divided by the number of payments each year instead of receiving the policy’s cash value. Please note that under federal tax law, upon the death of an owner, only a “spouse” as defined under the Federal Defense of Marriage Act is permitted to continue a policy without taking required distributions. (The payment of a death benefit under the policy is triggered by the death of the annuitant.)

The additional death benefit payment option may be referred to as “minimum remaining withdrawal amount” on your policy statement and other documents.

2. Joint Life Benefit. If you elect this rider, then you can also elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse’s death (only if the annuitant’s spouse continues the policy).

Please note:

 

   

The withdrawal percentage for each “age at the time of first withdrawal” is lower if you elect this option.

 

   

The annuitant’s spouse must be either a joint owner along with the annuitant or the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner), if you elect this option.

 

   

A former spouse of the annuitant cannot continue to keep the policy in force if no longer married to the annuitant at the time of the annuitant’s death. In that event, the rider will terminate and no additional withdrawals under the rider will be permitted.

 

   

The annuitant’s spouse for purposes of this rider cannot be changed to a new spouse.

 

   

The rider withdrawal percentage is based on the age of the younger of the annuitant and annuitant’s spouse, if you elect this option.

 

   

The rider death benefit is not payable until the death of the surviving spouse, if you elect this option.

 

   

You cannot elect a manual upgrade if the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (lower if required by state law).

3. Income Enhancement Benefit. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to have your withdrawal percentage double if either the annuitant (or the annuitant’s spouse if the joint life option is elected) is confined, because of a medical necessity, in a hospital or nursing facility and has been so confined for the elimination period (180 days within the last 365 days). Benefits from this option are not available unless the rider has been in effect for 12 months (the “waiting period”). The elimination period and waiting period can, but do not need to, run concurrently.

Please note:

 

   

You cannot elect the Income Enhancement Option if the qualifying person or persons is/are already confined in a hospital or nursing facility.

 

83


Table of Contents
   

The increase to the withdrawal percentage stops when the qualifying person or persons is/are no longer confined as described above.

We will require confirmation of confinement while benefits are being received. Confirmation of confinement may be a physician’s statement, a statement from a hospital or nursing facility administrator, or any other information satisfactory to us which may include information from third party or company interviews and/or visits of the facility. If confinement ceases, you may re-qualify by satisfying a 180-day elimination period requirement.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Fees

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Base Rider Fee. The base rider fee is calculated on the rider date and at the beginning of each rider quarter. The base rider fee will be adjusted for any premium additions, excess withdrawals, or transfers between designated investment groups during the rider quarter. It will be deducted automatically from your policy value at the end of each rider quarter.

On an annual basis, in general terms, the base rider fee is the applicable “rider fee percentage” (see the Fee Table) times the withdrawal base.

The base quarterly fee is calculated by multiplying (A) by (B) divided by (C) multiplied by (D), where:

 

  (A) is the withdrawal base;

 

  (B) is the sum of each designated investment group’s rider fee percentage multiplied by the applicable designated investment group’s value;

 

  (C) is the total policy value; and

 

  (D) is the number of remaining days in the rider quarter divided by the total number of days in the applicable rider year.

We will assess a prorated rider fee upon termination of the rider for the period beginning on the first day of the most recent rider quarter and ending on the date of termination.

Beginning on the fifth rider anniversary, the rider fee percentage may increase (or decrease) at the time of an automatic step-up. Each time an automatic step-up will result in a rider fee percentage increase, you will have the option to reject the automatic step-up and reinstate the withdrawal base and rider fee percentage to their respective amounts immediately before the automatic step-up (adjusted for any subsequent premium payments or withdrawals), provided that you do so within 30 calendar days after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred. We must receive your rejection, in good order, at our Administrative and Service Office within the 30 day period after the rider anniversary on which the automatic step-up occurred.

Please note regarding the base rider fee:

 

   

Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, it could be a much higher percentage of your policy value, particularly in the event that your policy value decreases significantly.

 

   

Because the base rider fee is a percentage of the withdrawal base, the amount of the base rider fee we deduct will increase if the withdrawal base increases (although the percentage(s) may remain the same).

 

   

If you make a transfer from one designated allocation group to another designated allocation group that has a higher rider fee percentage, then the resulting rider fee will be higher.

Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Transfers. For transfers that you make between different designated investment options in different designated allocation groups on other than the first business day of a rider quarter, a “rider fee adjustment” will be applied. This adjustment is necessary because of differences in the

 

84


Table of Contents

rider fee percentages. The adjustment in the rider fee percentage will ensure that you are charged the correct overall rider fee. The base rider fee adjustment will be calculated using the same formula as the base rider fee and compare the fee for the remainder of the rider quarter to the initially calculated fee for the same period. The rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be allocated.

Base Rider Fee Adjustment for Premium Payments and Excess Withdrawals. A rider fee adjustment will also be calculated for subsequent premium payments and excess withdrawals because these events will change the withdrawal base. The rider fee adjustment will be calculated using the same formula as the base rider fee and compare the fee for the remainder of the rider quarter to the initially calculated fee for the same period. As with the rider fee adjustments calculated for transfers, the rider fee adjustment may be positive or negative and will be added to or subtracted from the rider fee to be collected.

Additional Option Fees. If you elect options with this rider, then you will be charged a fee for each option you elect that is in addition to the rider fee for the base benefit (see the Fee Table). Each additional fee is charged quarterly before annuitization and is a percentage of the withdrawal base on each rider anniversary.

We will also deduct all rider fees pro rata upon full surrender of the policy or other termination of the rider.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider Issue Requirements

The Company will not issue the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider unless:

 

   

the annuitant is not yet age 86 (lower if required by state law);

 

   

the annuitant is also an owner (except in the case of non-natural owners);

 

   

there are no more than two owners; and

 

   

if the joint life option is elected, the annuitant’s spouse is also not yet 86 (lower if required by state law) and (1) is a joint owner along with the annuitant or (2) is the sole primary beneficiary (and there is no joint owner).

Termination

The Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider and any additional options will terminate upon the earliest of the following:

 

   

the date we receive written notice from you requesting termination of the rider if such notice is received by us during the 30 days following the fifth rider anniversary or every fifth rider anniversary thereafter;

 

   

the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option was elected, the death of the annuitant’s spouse if that spouse continued the policy as the surviving spouse);

 

   

annuitization (however, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date you may choose an annuitization option which guarantees you lifetime payments in an amount equal to your rider withdrawal amount); or

 

   

termination of your policy.

Please note: This rider terminates upon annuitization and there is a maximum annuity commencement date at which time your policy will be annuitized according to its terms. However, if you have reached your maximum annuity commencement date, we will allow you to annuitize your policy and elect to receive lifetime annuity payments which are at least equal to your rider withdrawal amount. Please contact us for more information concerning your options.

The Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider and additional options may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states. This disclosure explains the material features of

Table of Contents

the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider. The application and operation of the rider are governed by the terms and conditions of the rider itself.

11. OTHER INFORMATION

Ownership

You, as owner of the policy, exercise all rights under the policy. You can change the owner at any time by notifying us in writing at our Administrative and Service Office. An ownership change may be a taxable event.

Beneficiary

The beneficiary designation will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending written notice to the Company. The beneficiary’s consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. (If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary.) The change will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, whether or not the owner is living when the notice is received by the Company. The Company will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If, upon the death of the annuitant, there is a surviving owner(s), then the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.

Right to Cancel Period

You may return your policy for a refund, but only if you return it within a prescribed period, which is generally 10 days (after you receive the policy), or whatever longer time may be required by state law. The amount of the refund will generally be the premiums paid plus or minus accumulated gains or losses in the separate account. You bear the risk of any decline in policy value during the right to cancel period. However, if state law requires, we will refund your original premium payment(s). We will pay the refund within seven days after we receive in good order within the applicable period at our Administrative and Service Office, written notice of cancellation and the returned policy. The policy will then be deemed void.

Assignment

You can also generally assign the policy any time during your lifetime. We will not be bound by the assignment until we receive written notice of the assignment in good order at our Administrative and Service Office and approve it. We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or actions of the State insurance commissioner, to require that an assignment will be effective only upon acceptance by us, and to refuse assignments or transfers at any time on a non-discriminatory basis. We will not be liable for any payment or other action we take in accordance with the policy before we approve the assignment. There may be limitations on your ability to assign a qualified policy. An assignment may have tax consequences.

Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order

We cannot process your requests for transactions relating to the policy until we have received them in good order at our Administrative and Service Office. “good order” means the actual receipt by us of the instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when appropriate, by telephone or electronically, along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes, to the extend applicable to the transaction: your completed application; the policy number; the transaction amount (in dollars or percentage terms); the names and allocations to

 

86


Table of Contents

and/or from the Subaccounts affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all policy owners (exactly as registered on the Policy) if necessary; Social Security Number or Taxpayer I.D.; and any other information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any spousal or joint owner’s consents. With respect to purchase requests, “good order” also generally includes receipt (by us) of sufficient funds to effect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirements at any time.

Mixed and Shared Funding

Before making a decision concerning the allocation of premium payments to a particular subaccount, please read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios. The underlying fund portfolios are not limited to selling their shares to this separate account and can accept investments from any insurance company separate account or qualified retirement plan. Since the underlying fund portfolios are available to registered separate accounts offering variable annuity products of the Company, as well as variable annuity and variable life products of other insurance companies, and qualified retirement plans, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of this separate account and one or more of the other separate accounts of another participating insurance company. In the event of a material conflict, the affected insurance companies, including the Company, agree to take any necessary steps to resolve the matter. This may include removing their separate accounts from the underlying fund portfolios. See the underlying fund portfolios prospectuses for more details.

Exchanges and Reinstatements

You can generally exchange one annuity policy for another in a “tax-free exchange” under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. Before making an exchange, you should compare both annuities carefully. Remember that if you exchange another annuity for the one described in this prospectus, then you may pay a surrender charge on the other annuity, and there will be a new surrender charge period under this annuity and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits under this annuity may be different. You should not exchange another annuity for this one unless you determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell you this policy (that person will generally earn a commission if you buy this policy through an exchange or otherwise).

You may surrender your policy and transfer your money directly to another life insurance company (sometimes referred to as a 1035 Exchange or a trustee-to-trustee transfer). You may also ask us to reinstate your policy after such a transfer and in certain limited circumstances we will allow you to do so by returning the same total dollar amount of funds to the applicable investment choices. The dollar amount will be used to purchase new accumulation units at the then current price. Because of changes in market value, your new accumulation units may be worth more or less than the units you previously owned. We recommend that you consult a tax professional to explain the possible tax consequences of exchanges and/or reinstatements.

Voting Rights

To the extent required by law, the Company will vote all shares of the underlying fund portfolios held in the separate account in accordance with instructions we receive from you and other owners that have voting interests in the portfolios. We will send you and other owners requests for instructions on how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we will vote all of the shares in proportion to those instructions. Accordingly, it is possible for a small number of policy owners (assuming there is a quorum) to determine the

 

87


Table of Contents

outcome of a vote, especially if they have large policy values. If, however, we determine that we are permitted to vote the shares in our own right, we may do so.

Each person having a voting interest will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.

IMSA

We are a member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (IMSA). IMSA is an independent, voluntary organization of life insurance companies. It promotes high ethical standards in the sales and advertising of individual life insurance, long-term care insurance, and annuity products. Through its Principles and Code of Ethical Market Conduct, IMSA encourages its member companies to develop and implement policies and procedures to promote sound market practices. Companies must undergo a rigorous self and independent assessment of their practices to become a member of IMSA. The IMSA logo in our sales literature shows our ongoing commitment to these standards. You may find more information about IMSA and its ethical standards at www.imsaethics.org in the “Consumer” section or by contacting IMSA at: 240-744-3030.

Legal Proceedings

There are no legal proceedings to which the separate account is a party or to which the assets of the separate account are subject. The Company, like other life insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits. In some class action and other lawsuits involving other insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that at the present time there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on the ability of Transamerica Capital, Inc., to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on the ability of the Company to meet its obligations under the policy.

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

Transamerica Life Insurance Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Iowa on April 19, 1961 as NN Investors Life Insurance Company, Inc. It is engaged in the sale of life and health insurance and annuity policies. The Company is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation which conducts most of its operations through subsidiary companies engaged in the insurance business or in providing non-insurance financial services. All of the stock of Transamerica Corporation is indirectly owned by AEGON N.V. of The Netherlands, the securities of which are publicly traded. AEGON N.V., a holding company, conducts its business through subsidiary companies engaged primarily in the insurance business. The Company is licensed in the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and all states except New York.

All obligations arising under the policies, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of the Company.

Financial Condition of the Company

We pay benefits under your Contract from our general account assets and/or from your policy value held in the separate account. It is important that you understand that payments of the benefits depend upon certain factors discussed below.

Assets in the Separate Account. You assume all of the investment risk for your policy value that is allocated to the subaccounts of the separate account. Your policy value in those subaccounts constitutes a portion of the assets of the separate account. These

assets are segregated and insulated from our general account, and may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business that we may conduct.

Assets in the General Account. You also may be permitted to make allocations to guaranteed period options of the fixed account, which are supported by the assets in our general account. Any guarantees under a policy that exceed policy value, such as those associated with any lifetime withdrawal benefit riders and any optional death benefits, are paid from our general account (and not the separate account). Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the policy in excess of policy value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. The assets of the separate account, however, are also available to cover the liabilities of our general account, but only to the extent that the separate account assets exceed the separate account liabilities arising under the policies supported by it.

We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets in the general account.

Our Financial Condition. As an insurance company, we are required by state insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet all the contractual obligations of our general account. In order to meet our claims-paying obligation we monitor our reserves so that we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected policy and claims payments. However, it is important to note that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.

State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations. These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on our general account assets, which include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in market value of these investments.

How to Obtain More Information. We encourage both existing and prospective policy owners to read and understand our financial statements. We prepare our financial statements on a statutory basis. Our financial statements, which are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division as well as the financial statements of the separate account—are located in the statement of Additional Information (SAI). For a free copy of the SAI, simply call or write us at the phone number or address of our Administrative and Service Office referenced in this prospectus. In addition, the SAI’s available on the SEC;s website at http://www.sec.gov. Our financial strength can be found on our website.

The Separate Account

The Company established a separate account, called Separate Account VA C, under the laws of the State of Iowa on February 20, 1997. The separate account receives and invests the premium payments that are allocated to it for investment in shares of the underlying fund portfolios.

The separate account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. However, the SEC does not supervise the management, the investment practices, or the policies of the separate account or the Company. Income, gains and losses (whether or not realized), from assets allocated to the separate account are, in accordance with the policies, credited to or charged against the separate account without regard to the Company’s other income, gains or losses.

Table of Contents

The assets of the separate account are held in the Company’s name on behalf of the separate account and belong to the Company. However, those assets that underlie the policies are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the Company may conduct. The separate account may include other subaccounts that are not available under these policies.

Distribution of the Policies

Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement. We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (TCI), for the distribution and sale of the policies. We pay commissions to TCI which are passed through to selling firms. (See below). We also pay TCI an “override” that is a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our policies which is not passed through to the selling firms and we may reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the policies. TCI markets the policies through bank affiliated firms, national brokerage firms, regional and independent broker-dealers and independent financial planners.

Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Policies. The policies are offered to the public through broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that are licensed under the federal securities laws; the selling firm and/or its affiliates are also licensed under state insurance laws. The selling firms have entered into written selling agreements with us and with TCI as principal underwriter for the policies. We pay commissions through TCI to the selling firms for their sales of the policies.

A limited number of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers may also be paid commissions and overrides to “wholesale” the policies, that is, to provide sales support and training to sales representatives at the selling firms. We also provide compensation to a limited number of broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to the policies that have already been purchased.

The selling firms that have selling agreements with us and TCI are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the policies according to one or more schedules. The amount and timing of commissions may vary depending on the selling agreement, but the maximum commission is 7% of premiums (additional amounts may be paid as overrides to wholesalers).

To the extent permitted by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) rules, TCI may pay (or allow other broker-dealers to provide) promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or non-cash compensation or reimbursement to some, but not all, selling firms and their sales representatives. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below.

The sales representative who sells you the policy typically receives a portion of the compensation we (and our affiliates) pay to the selling firms, depending on the agreement between the selling firm and its registered representative and the firm’s internal compensation program. These programs may include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask your sales representative for further information about the compensation your sales representative, and the selling firm that employs your sales representative, may receive in connection with your purchase of a policy. Also inquire about any revenue sharing arrangements that we and our affiliates may have with the selling firm, including the conflicts of interests that such arrangements may create.

You should be aware that a selling firm or its sales representatives may receive different compensation or incentives for selling one product over another. In some cases, these payments may create an incentive

for the selling firm or its sales representatives to recommend or sell this policy to you. You may wish to take such payments into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the policies.

Special Compensation Paid to Affiliated Firms. We and/or our affiliates provide paid-in capital to TCI and pay the cost of TCI’s operating and other expenses, including costs for facilities, legal and accounting services, and other internal administrative functions. We and/or our affiliates also provide TCI with a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our policies and provide TCI with capital payments that are not contingent on sales.

TCI’s registered representatives and supervisors may receive non-cash compensation, such as attendance at conferences, seminars and trips (such as travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items, payments, loans, loan forgiveness or loan guaranties.

Additional Compensation That We, TCI and/or Our Affiliates Pay to Selected Selling Firms. TCI, in connection with the sales of the policies, may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for “preferred product” treatment of the policies in their marketing programs in order to receive enhanced marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives. In exchange for providing TCI with access to their distribution network, such selling firms may receive additional compensation or reimbursement for, among other things, the hiring and training of sales personnel, marketing, sponsoring of conferences, meetings, seminars, events, and/or other services they provide to us and our affiliates. To the extent permitted by applicable law, TCI and other parties may provide the selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other non-cash compensation as an incentive to sell the policies. These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms.

Special compensation arrangements are calculated in different ways by different selling firms and may be based on past or anticipated sales of the policies and other criteria. For instance, in 2009, TCI, in connection with the sales of our policies, made flat fee payments to several selling firms ranging from $6,350 to $500,000, and payments of between 0.10% and 1.32% on new sales. TCI also paid selling firms special fees based on new sales and/or assets under management.

During 2009, we and/or TCI had such “preferred product” arrangements with the following selling firms:

APPENDIX

EXCESS INTEREST ADJUSTMENT EXAMPLES

Money that you surrender from, transfer out of, or apply to an annuity payment option, from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment (“EIA”). At the time you request a surrender, if interest rates set by the Company have risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value. However, if interest rates have fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value.

Excess interest adjustments will not reduce the adjusted policy value for a guaranteed period option below the premium payments and transfers to that guaranteed period option, less any prior partial surrenders and transfers from the guaranteed period option, plus interest at the policy’s minimum guaranteed effective annual interest rate. This is referred to as the excess interest adjustment floor.

The formula that will be used to determine the excess interest adjustment is:

S* (G-C)* (M/12)

 

S   =   Gross amount being surrendered that is subject to the excess interest adjustment
G   =   Guaranteed interest rate in effect for the policy
C   =   Current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new premiums for the next longer option period than “M”. If this policy form or such an option period is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S.Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month, plus up to 2%.
M   =   Number of months remaining in the current option period, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.
*   =   multiplication
^   =   exponentiation

The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and ore calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal.

Excess Interest Adjustment Examples — (Continued)

 

Example 1 (Full Surrender, rates increase by 3%):

 

Single premium:   $50,000.00
Guarantee period:   5 Years
Guarantee rate:   5.50% per annum
Surrender:   Middle of policy year 2
Cumulative Earnings   = 54,181.21 – 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
Amount free of excess interest adjustment   = 4,181.21
Amount subject to excess interest adjustment   = 54,181.21 – 4,181.21 = 50,000.00
Excess interest adjustment floor   = 50,000.00 * (1.015) ^ 1.5 = 51,129.21
Excess interest adjustment  
G = .055  
C = .085  
M = 42  
Excess interest adjustment   = S* (G-C)* (M/12)
  = 50,000.00 * (.055-.085) * ( 42/12 )
  = -5,250.00, but excess interest adjustment cannot cause the adjusted policy value to fall below the excess interest adjustment floor, so the adjustment is limited to 51,129.21 - 54,181.21 = -3,052.00
Adjusted policy value   = policy value + excess interest adjustment
  = 54,181.21 + (-3,052.00) = 51,129.21
Upon full surrender of the policy, the net surrender value (adjusted policy value less any surrender charge) will never be less than that required by the non-forfeiture laws of your state.

 

* This example is for illustrative purposes only. The purpose of this illustration is to demonstrate how this feature is calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal.

Adjusted policy value   = 54,181.21 + 1,750.00 = 55,931.21
Upon full surrender of the policy, the net surrender value will never by less than that required by the non-forfeiture laws of your state. For the purpose of these illustrations no surrender charges are assumed.

 

* This example is for illustrative purposes only. The purpose of this illustration is to demonstrate how this feature is calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal.

On a partial surrender, the Company will pay the policyholder the full amount of surrender requested (as long as the policy value is sufficient). Amounts surrendered will reduce the policy value by an amount equal to:

R - E + SC

 

  R   =    the requested partial surrender;  
  E   =    the excess interest adjustment; and  
  SC   =    the surrender charges on (EPW - E); where  
  EPW   =    the excess partial withdrawal amount.

APPENDIX

DEATH BENEFIT

Adjusted Partial Surrender. If you make a partial surrender (withdrawal), then your guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced by an amount called the adjusted partial surrender. The amount of the reduction depends on the relationship between your death benefit and policy value. The adjusted partial surrender is equal to (1) plus (2) multiplied by (3), where:

 

(1) is the amount of the gross partial surrender that is less than the remaining annual adjustment-free amount for the policy year. For any death benefit other than the Double Enhanced Death Benefit, this amount is equal to zero;

 

(2) is the gross partial surrender amount that exceeds the annual adjustment-free amount (excess gross partial surrender);

 

(3) is the adjustment factor = current death proceeds after the annual free surrender amount but prior to the excess gross partial surrender divided by the policy value after the free amount but prior to the gross partial surrender.

The following examples describe the effect of a surrender on the guaranteed minimum death benefit and policy value.

Example 1 (Assumed Facts for Example)

 

Current guaranteed minimum death benefit before surrender

   $ 75,000

Current policy value before surrender

   $ 50,000

Current death proceeds

   $ 75,000

Remaining guaranteed minimum death benefit adjustment free amount

   $ 3,000

Total Gross Partial Surrender

   $ 15,494

Adjusted partial surrender = 3,000 + (15,494 – 3,000) * (75,000 – 3,000) / (50,000 – 3,000)

   $ 22,140

New guaranteed minimum death benefit (after surrender) = 75,000 – 22,140

   $ 52,860

New policy value (after surrender) = 50,000 – 15,494

   $ 34,506

Summary:

 

Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit

   =    $ 22,140

Reduction in policy value

   =    $ 15,494

 

* This example is for illustrative purposes only. The purpose of this illustration is to demonstrate how this feature is calculated using hypothetical values. Your experience will vary based on circumstances at the time of withdrawal.
** The guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced more than the policy value because the guaranteed minimum death benefit was greater than the policy value just prior to the surrender.

APPENDIX

LIVING BENEFITS RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS

The following examples show the effect of withdrawals on the benefits under the Living Benefits Rider.

GUARANTEED MINIMUM ACCUMULATION BENEFIT

Gross partial withdrawals will reduce the guaranteed future value by an amount equal to the greater of:

 

1) the gross partial withdrawal amount; and

 

2) a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:

 

A is the amount of gross partial withdrawal;

 

B is the policy value immediately prior to the gross partial withdrawal; and

 

C is the guaranteed future value immediately prior to the gross partial withdrawal.

The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under the guaranteed minimum accumulation benefit.

EXAMPLE 1:

Assumptions:

Policy value prior to withdrawal (“PV”) = $90,000

Guaranteed future value prior to withdrawal (“GFV”) = $100,000 Gross withdrawal amount (“WD”) = $10,000

Step One. What is the pro rata value of the amount withdrawn?

 

  1. Formula is (WD / PV) * GFV = pro rata amount

 

  2. ($10,000 / $90,000) * $100,000 = $11,111.11

Step Two. Which is larger, the $10,000 withdrawal or the $11,111.11 pro rata amount?

$11,111.11 pro rata amount

Step Three. After the withdrawal is taken, what will be new guaranteed future value?

$100,000 - $11,111.11 = $88,888.89

Result. If no more withdrawals are taken, the guaranteed future value on the 10th rider anniversary is $88,888.89.

LIVING BENEFITS RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)

 

EXAMPLE 2:

Assumptions:

PV = $120,000

GFV=$100,000

WD= $10,000

Step One. What is the pro rata value of the amount withdrawn?

 

  1. Formula is (WD / PV) * GFV = pro rata amount

 

  2. ($10,000 / $120,000) * $100,000 = $8,333.33

Step Two. Which is larger, the $10,000 withdrawal or the $8,333.33 pro rata amount?

$10,000 withdrawal

Step Three. After the withdrawal is taken, what will be new guaranteed future value?

$100,000 - $10,000 = $90,000

Result. If no more withdrawals are taken, the guaranteed future value on the 10th Rider Anniversary is $90,000.

GUARANTEED LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT

Total Withdrawal Base. Gross partial withdrawals up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount will not reduce the total withdrawal base. Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the total withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:

 

  1) the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and

 

  2) a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:

 

  A is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);

 

  B is the policy value after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and

 

  C is the total withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.

Minimum Remaining Withdrawal Amount. Gross partial withdrawals up to the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount by the same amount (dollar-for-dollar). Gross partial withdrawals in excess of the maximum annual withdrawal amount will reduce the minimum remaining withdrawal amount by an amount equal to the greater of:

 

  1) the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and

 

  2) a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:

 

123


Table of Contents

LIVING BENEFITS RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)

 

  A is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);

 

  B is the policy value after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and

 

  C is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the maximum annual withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.

The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.

When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:

 

  1. Minimum remaining withdrawal amount (“MRWA”)

 

  2. Total withdrawal base (“TWB”)

 

  3. Maximum annual withdrawal amount (“MAWA”)

EXAMPLE 1 (7% “PRINCIPAL BACK”):

Assumptions:

TWB = $100,000

MRWA = $100,000

7% WD would be $7,000 (7% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)

WD = $7,000

Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None

PV = $100,000

You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)

Step One. Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount?

No. There is no excess withdrawal under the “principal back” guarantee if no more than $7,000 is withdrawn.

Step Two. What is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?

 

  1. Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $7,000 (there is no excess to deduct)

 

  2. $100,000 - $7,000 = $93,000.

Result. In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $7,000, the “principal back” total withdrawal base does not change and the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $93,000.00.

EXAMPLE 2 (7% “PRINCIPAL BACK”):

Assumptions:

TWB = $100,000

 

124


Table of Contents

LIVING BENEFITS RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)

 

MRWA = $100,000

7% WD would be $7,000 (7% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)

WD = $8,000

EWD = $1,000 ($8,000 - $7,000)

PV = $90,000

You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)

Step One. Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the maximum annual withdrawal amount?

Yes. $8,000 - $7,000 = $1,000 (the excess withdrawal amount)

Step Two. Calculate how much of the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is affected by the excess withdrawal.

 

  1. Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV -7% WD)) * (MRWA -7% WD)

 

  2. ($1,000 / ($90,000 - $7,000)) * ($100,000 - $7,000) = $1,120.48

Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $1,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $1,120.48 pro rata amount?

$1,120.48 pro rata amount

Step Four. What is the “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?

 

  1. Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $7,000 + $1,120.48 (pro rata excess) = $8,120.48

 

  2. $100,000 - $8,120.48 = $91,879.52

Result. The “principal back” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $91,879.52.

NOTE. For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base needs to be adjusted as well as a new lower maximum annual withdrawal amount. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $7,000, the “principal back” total withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount would be $7,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the total withdrawal base is also changed (this is the amount the 7% is based on).

New “principal back” total withdrawal base:

Step One. The total withdrawal base is only reduced by the excess withdrawal amount or the pro rata amount if greater.

Step Two. Calculate how much the total withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.

 

  1. The formula is (EWD / (PV -7% WD)) * TWB before any adjustments

 

  2. ($1,000 / ($90,000 - $7,000)) * $100,000 = $1,204.82

 

125


Table of Contents

LIVING BENEFITS RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)

 

Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $1,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $1,204.82 pro rata amount?

$1,204.82 pro rata amount.

Step Four. What is the new total withdrawal base upon which the maximum annual withdrawal amount is based?

$100,000 - $1,204.82 = $98,795.18

Result. The new “principal back” total withdrawal base is $98,795.18

New “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount:

Because the “principal back” total withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new maximum annual withdrawal amount for the 7% “principal back” guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.

Step One. What is the new “principal back” maximum annual withdrawal amount?

$98,795.18 (the adjusted total withdrawal base) * 7% = $6,915.66

Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a rider year is $6,915.66 without causing an excess withdrawal for the “principal back” guarantee and further reduction of the “principal back” total withdrawal base.

EXAMPLE 3 (5% “FOR LIFE”):

Assumptions:

TWB = $100,000 MRWA =$100,000

5% WD would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)

WD = $5,000

Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None

PV = $100,000

You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)

Step One. Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount?

No. There is no excess withdrawal under the “for life” guarantee if no more than $5,000 is withdrawn.

Step Two. What is the minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?

 

  1. Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $5,000 (there is no excess to deduct).

 

  2. $100,000 - $5,000 = $95,000.

Result. In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $5,000, the “for life” total withdrawal base does not change and the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $95,000.00.

LIVING BENEFITS RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)

 

EXAMPLE 4 (5% “FOR LIFE”):

Assumptions:

TWB = $100,000 MRWA =$100,000

5% WD would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 total withdrawal base)

WD = $7,000

EWD = $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000)

PV = $90,000

You = Owner and Annuitant (Age 60)

Step One. Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the maximum annual withdrawal amount?

Yes. $7,000 - $5,000 = $2,000 (the excess withdrawal amount)

Step Two. Calculate how much of the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is affected by the excess withdrawal.

 

  1. Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV -5% WD)) * (MRWA -5% WD)

 

  2. ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * ($100,000 -$5,000) = $2,235.29

Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,235.29 pro rata amount?

$2,235.29 pro rata amount

Step Four. What is the “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount after the withdrawal has been taken?

 

  1. Total to deduct from the minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $5,000 + $2,235.29 (pro rata excess) = $7,235.29

 

  2. $100,000 - $7,235.29 = $92,764.71

Result. The “for life” minimum remaining withdrawal amount is $92,764.71.

NOTE. For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the total withdrawal base needs to be adjusted as well as a new lower maximum annual withdrawal amount. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $5,000, the “for life” total withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount would be $5,000. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the total withdrawal base is also changed (this is the amount the 5% is based on).

New “for life” total withdrawal base:

Step One. The total withdrawal base is only reduced by the excess withdrawal amount or the pro rata amount if greater.

 

127


Table of Contents

LIVING BENEFITS RIDER ADJUSTED PARTIAL WITHDRAWALS — (Continued)

 

Step Two. Calculate how much the total withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.

 

  1. The formula is (EWD / (PV -5% WD)) * TWB before any adjustments

 

  2. ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * $100,000 = $2,352.94

Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal amount or the $2,352.94 pro rata amount?

$2,352.94 pro rata amount.

Step Four. What is the new total withdrawal base upon which the maximum annual withdrawal amount is based?

$100,000 - $2,352.94 = $97,647.06

Result. The new “for life” total withdrawal base is $97,647.06

New “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount:

Because the “for life” total withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new maximum annual withdrawal amount for the 5% “for life” guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.

Step One. What is the new “for life” maximum annual withdrawal amount?

$97,647.06 (the adjusted total withdrawal base) * 5% = $4,882.35

Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a rider year is $4,882.35 without causing an excess withdrawal for the “for life” guarantee and further reduction of the “for life” total withdrawal base.

GUARANTEED LIFETIME WITHDRAWAL BENEFIT

ADJUSTED PARTIAL SURRENDERS - RETIREMENT INCOME CHOICESM 1.2

RIDER AND RETIREMENT INCOME CHOICESM 1.4 RIDER

When a withdrawal is taken, three parts of the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit can be affected:

 

1. Withdrawal Base (“WB”)

 

2. Rider Withdrawal Amount (“RWA”)

 

3. Rider Death Benefit (“RDB”)

Withdrawal Base. Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year up to the rider withdrawal amount will not reduce the withdrawal base. Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year in excess of the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the withdrawal base by an amount equal to the greater of:

 

1) the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and

 

2) a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:

 

  A is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);

 

  B is the policy value after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and

 

  C is the withdrawal base prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.

Rider Death Benefit. Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year up to the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the rider death benefit by the amount withdrawn (dollar-for-dollar). Gross partial withdrawals in a rider year in excess of the rider withdrawal amount will reduce the rider death benefit by an amount equal to the greater of:

 

1) the excess gross partial withdrawal amount; and

 

2) a pro rata amount, the result of (A / B) * C, where:

 

  A is the excess gross partial withdrawal (the amount in excess of the guaranteed annual withdrawal amount remaining prior to the withdrawal);

 

  B is the policy value after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount; and

 

  C is the rider death benefit after the rider withdrawal amount has been withdrawn, but prior to the withdrawal of the excess amount.

The following demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the effects of partial withdrawals under this guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit.

Example 1 (Base):

Assumptions:

Withdrawal Base (“WB”) = $100,000

 

129


Table of Contents

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit — (Continued)

 

Rider Withdrawal Amount (“RWA”) = 5% withdrawal would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)

Gross partial withdrawal (“GPWD”) = $5,000

Excess withdrawal (“EWD”) = None

Policy Value (“PV”) = $100,000

You = owner and annuitant, age 71 at time withdrawals begin, which means Withdrawal Percentage is 5%.

Question: Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?

No. There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee since no more than $5,000 is withdrawn.

Result. In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $5,000, the withdrawal base does not change.

Example 2 (Excess Withdrawal):

Assumptions:

WB = $100,000

RWA = 5% withdrawal would be $5,000 (5% of the current $100,000 withdrawal base)

GPWD = $7,000

EWD = $2,000 ($7,000 - $5,000)

PV = $90,000

You = owner and annuitant, age 71 at time withdrawals begin, which means Withdrawal Percentage is 5%.

Result. For the guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit, because there was an excess withdrawal amount, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount calculated. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $5,000, the withdrawal base would remain at $100,000 and the rider withdrawal amount would be $5,000 starting on the next rider anniversary. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the withdrawal base is also reduced (this is the amount the 5% is based on).

New withdrawal base:

Step One. The withdrawal base is reduced only by the amount of the excess withdrawal or the pro rata amount, if greater.

Step Two. Calculate how much the withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.

 

  1. The formula is (EWD / (PV -5% withdrawal)) * WB before any adjustments

 

  2. ($2,000 / ($90,000 - $5,000)) * $100,000 = $2,353

Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $2,000 excess withdrawal or the $2,353 pro rata amount? $2,353 pro rata amount.

 

130


Table of Contents

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit — (Continued)

 

Step Four. What is the new withdrawal base upon which the rider withdrawal amount is based? $100,000 - $2,353 = $97,647

Result. The new withdrawal base is $97,647

New rider withdrawal amount:

Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new rider withdrawal amount for the 5% guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.

Question: What is the new rider withdrawal amount?

$97,647 (the adjusted withdrawal base) * 5% = $4,882

Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a year without causing an excess withdrawal and further reduction of the withdrawal base (assuming there are no future automatic step-ups) is $4,882.

Example 3 (Base demonstrating growth):

Assumptions:

WB = $100,000

Automatic step-up never occurs and no withdrawals are taken in the first 10 rider years.

WB in 8 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 8 = $147,745 RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 8 years from the rider date would be $7,387 (5% of the then-current $147,745 withdrawal base)

GPWD = $7,387

EWD = None

PV = $90,000 in 8 years

You (if you elected RIC) = owner and annuitant, age 63 on rider issue; age 71 at time withdrawals begin, which means Withdrawal Percentage is 5%.

You (if you elected RIC 1.2 or RIC 1.4) = owner and annuitant, age 68 on rider issue; age 76 at time withdrawals begin, which means Withdrawal Percentage is 5%

Question: Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?

No. There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee if no more than $7,387 is withdrawn in a rider year.

Result. In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $7,387, the withdrawal base does not change.

 

131


Table of Contents

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit — (Continued)

 

Example 4 (Base demonstrating WB growth with Additional Death Payment Option):

Assumptions:

You (if you elected RIC) = owner and annuitant, age 63 on rider issue; age 71 at time withdrawals begin, which means Withdrawal Percentage is 5%.

You (if you elected RIC 1.2 or RIC 1.4) = owner and annuitant, age 68 on rider issue; age 76 at time withdrawals begin, which means Withdrawal Percentage is 5%

WB at rider issue = $100,000

Automatic step-up never occurs and no withdrawals are taken in the first 10 rider years.

WB in 8 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%) = $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 8 = $147,745 Rider Death Benefit (“RDB”) (optional additional death benefit for additional cost) = $100,000

RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 8 years from the rider date would be $7,387 (5% of the then-current $147,745 withdrawal base)

GPWD = $7,387

EWD = None

PV = $90,000 in 8 years

Step One. Is any portion of the withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?

No. There is no excess withdrawal under the guarantee if no more than $7,387 is withdrawn.

Step Two. What is the rider death benefit after the withdrawal has been taken?

 

  1. Total to deduct from the rider death benefit is $7,387 (there is no excess to deduct)

 

  2. $100,000 - $7,387 = $92,613.

Result. In this example, because no portion of the withdrawal was in excess of $7,387, the total withdrawal base does not change and the rider death benefit reduces to $92,613.

Example 5 (Base with WB growth with Additional Death Payment Option illustrating excess withdrawal):

Assumptions:

You = owner and annuitant, age 61 on rider issue; age 74 at time withdrawals begin, which means withdrawal percentage is 5%.

WB at rider issue = $100,000

Automatic step-up never occurs and no withdrawals are taken in the first 10 rider years.

WB in 10 years (assuming an annual growth rate percentage of 5.0%) = the greater of $100,000 * (1 + .05) ^ 10 = $162,889.

RDB (optional additional death benefit for additional cost) = $100,000

RWA = 5% withdrawal beginning 10 years from the rider date would be $8,144 (5% of the then-current $162,889 withdrawal base)

GPWD = $15,000

EWD = $6,856 ($15,000—$8,144)

 

132


Table of Contents

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit — (Continued)

 

PV = $90,000 in 10 years

Step One. Is any portion of the total withdrawal greater than the rider withdrawal amount?

Yes. $15,000 - $8,144 = $6,856 (the excess withdrawal amount)

Step Two. Calculate how much of the rider death benefit is affected by the excess withdrawal.

 

  1. Formula for pro rata amount is: (EWD / (PV -5% withdrawal)) * (RDB -5% withdrawal)

 

  2. ($6,856 / ($90,000 - $8,144)) * ($100,000 - $8,144) = $7,694

Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $6,856 excess withdrawal amount or the $7,694 pro rata amount?

$7,694 pro rata amount.

Step Four. What is the rider death benefit after the withdrawal has been taken?

 

  1. Total to deduct from the rider death benefit is $8,144 (RWA) + $7,694 (pro rata excess) = $15,838

 

  2. $100,000 - $15,838 = $84,162.

Result. The rider benefit is $84,162.

Note: Because there was an excess withdrawal amount in this example, the withdrawal base needs to be adjusted and a new lower rider withdrawal amount calculated. Had the withdrawal for this example not been more than $8,144, the withdrawal base would remain at $162,889 and the rider withdrawal amount would be $8,144. However, because an excess withdrawal has been taken, the withdrawal base is also reduced.

New benefit base:

Step One. The withdrawal base is reduced only by the amount of the excess withdrawal or the pro rata amount if greater.

Step Two. Calculate how much the withdrawal base is affected by the excess withdrawal.

 

  1. The formula is (EWD/(PV -5% withdrawal)) * WB before any adjustments

 

  2. ($6,856 / ($90,000 - $8,144)) * $162,889 = $13,643

Step Three. Which is larger, the actual $6,856 excess withdrawal amount or the $13,643 pro rata amount?

$13,643 pro rata amount.

Step Four. What is the new withdrawal base upon which the rider withdrawal amount is based?

$162,889 - $13,643 = $149,246

Result. The new benefit base is $149,246

 

133


Table of Contents

Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit — (Continued)

 

New rider withdrawal amount:

Because the withdrawal base was adjusted (due to the excess withdrawal) we have to calculate a new rider withdrawal amount for the 5% benefit percentage guarantee that will be available starting on the next rider anniversary. This calculation assumes no more activity prior to the next rider anniversary.

Step One. What is the new rider withdrawal amount?

$149,246 (the adjusted withdrawal base) * 5% = $7,462

Result. Going forward, the maximum you can take out in a year without causing an excess withdrawal and further reduction of the benefit base is $7,462.

Table of Contents

In order to supplement the description in the prospectus, the following provides additional information about Transamerica Life Insurance Company (the Company, we, us or our) and the policy, which may be of interest to a prospective purchaser.

THE POLICY — GENERAL PROVISIONS

Owner

The policy shall belong to the owner upon issuance of the policy after completion of an enrollment form and delivery of the initial premium payment. While the annuitant is living, the owner may: (1) assign the policy; (2) surrender the policy; (3) amend or modify the policy with the Company’s consent; (4) receive annuity payments or name a payee to receive the payments; and (5) exercise, receive and enjoy every other right and benefit contained in the policy. The exercise of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary; and of your spouse in a community or marital property state.

Unless the Company has been notified of a community or marital property interest in the policy, it will rely on its good faith belief that no such interest exists and will assume no responsibility for inquiry.

Note carefully. If the owner predeceases the annuitant and no joint owner, primary beneficiary, or contingent beneficiary is alive or in existence on the date of death, the owner’s estate will become the new owner. If no probate estate is opened because the owner has precluded the opening of a probate estate by means of a trust or other instrument, that trust may not exercise ownership rights to the policy. It may be necessary to open a probate estate in order to exercise ownership rights to the policy.

The owner may change the ownership of the policy in a written notice. When this change takes effect, all rights of ownership in the policy will pass to the new owner. A change of ownership may have tax consequences.

When there is a change of owner, the change will not be effective until it is recorded in our records. Once recorded, it will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, subject to any payment the Company has made or action the Company has taken before recording the change. Changing the owner does not change the designation of the beneficiary or the annuitant.

If ownership is transferred to a new owner (except to the owner’s spouse) because the owner dies before the annuitant, then (a) the cash value generally must be distributed to the new owner within five years of the owner’s death, or (b) annuity payments must be made for a period certain or for the new owner’s lifetime so long as any period certain does not exceed that new owner’s life expectancy, if the first payment begins within one year of your death.

Entire Policy

The policy, any endorsements or riders thereon, the enrollment form, or information provided in lieu thereof, constitute the entire contract between the Company and the owner. All statements in the enrollment form are representations and not warranties. No statement will cause the policy to be void or to be used in defense of a claim unless contained in the enrollment form or information provided in lieu thereof.

Table of Contents

Misstatement of Age or Sex

If the age or sex of the annuitant or owner has been misstated, the Company will change the annuity benefit payable to that which the premium payments would have purchased for the correct age or sex. The dollar amount of any underpayment made by the Company shall be paid in full with the next payment due such person or the beneficiary. The dollar amount of any overpayment made by the Company due to any misstatement shall be deducted from payments subsequently accruing to such person or beneficiary. Any underpayment or overpayment will include interest at 5% per year, from the date of the wrong payment to the date of the adjustment. The age of the annuitant or owner may be established at any time by the submission of proof satisfactory to the Company.

Reallocation of Annuity Units After the Annuity Commencement Date

After the annuity commencement date, you may reallocate the value of a designated number of annuity units of a subaccount then credited to a policy into an equal value of annuity units of one or more other subaccounts or the fixed account. The reallocation shall be based on the relative value of the annuity units of the account(s) or subaccount(s) at the end of the business day on the next payment date. The minimum amount which may be reallocated is the lesser of (1) $10 of monthly income or (2) the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the account or subaccount from which the transfer is being made. If the monthly income of the annuity units remaining in an account or subaccount after a reallocation is less than $10, the Company reserves the right to include the value of those annuity units as part of the transfer. The request must be in writing to the Company’s administrative and service office. There is no charge assessed in connection with such reallocation. A reallocation of annuity units may be made up to four times in any given policy year.

After the annuity commencement date, no transfers may be made from the fixed account to the separate account.

Annuity Payment Options

Note: Portions of the following discussion do not apply to annuity payments under the Initial Payment Guarantee. See the “Stabilized Payments” section of this SAI.

During the lifetime of the annuitant and before the annuity commencement date, the owner may choose an annuity payment option or change the election, but notice of any election or change of election must be received by the Company in good order at its Administrative and Service Office at least thirty (30) days before the annuity commencement date (elections less than 30 days require prior approval). If no election is made before the annuity commencement date, annuity payments will be made under (1) life income with level (fixed) payments for 10 years certain, using the existing policy value of the fixed account, or (2) life income with variable payments for 10 years certain using the existing policy value of the separate account, or (3) a combination of (1) and (2).

The person who elects an annuity payment option can also name one or more successor payees to receive any unpaid amount the Company has at the death of a payee. Naming these payees cancels any prior choice of a successor payee.

A payee who did not elect the annuity payment option does not have the right to advance or assign payments, take the payments in one sum, or make any other change. However, the payee may be given the right to do one or more of these things if the person who elects the option tells the Company in writing and the Company agrees.

Table of Contents

Variable Payment Options. The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the policy. For annuity payments the tables are based on a 5% effective annual Assumed Investment Return and the “2000 Table”, using an assumed annuity commencement date of 2005 (static projection to this point) with dynamic projection using scale G from that point (100% of G for male, 50% of G for females). The dollar amount of additional variable annuity payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) of the separate account selected by the annuitant or beneficiary.

Determination of the First Variable Payment. The amount of the first variable payment depends upon the sex (if consideration of sex is allowed under state law) and adjusted age of the annuitant. For regular annuity payments, the adjusted age is the annuitant’s actual age nearest birthday, on the annuity commencement date, adjusted as described in your policy. This adjustment assumes an increase in life expectancy, and therefore it results in lower payments than without such an adjustment.

Determination of Additional Variable Payments. All variable annuity payments other than the first are calculated using annuity units which are credited to the policy. The number of annuity units to be credited in respect of a particular subaccount is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that subaccount by the annuity unit value of that subaccount on the annuity commencement date. The number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the policy then remains fixed, assuming no transfers to or from that subaccount occur. The dollar value of variable annuity units in the chosen subaccount will increase or decrease reflecting the investment experience of the chosen subaccount. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant. This amount is equal to the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the policy by the annuity unit value for the particular subaccount on the date the payment is made.

Death Benefit

Due proof of death of the annuitant is proof that the annuitant died prior to the commencement of annuity payments. A certified copy of a death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, a written statement by the attending physician, or any other proof satisfactory to the Company will constitute due proof of death.

Upon receipt in good order (at our Administrative and Service Office) of this proof and an election of a method of settlement and return of the policy, the death benefit generally will be paid within seven days, or as soon thereafter as the Company has sufficient information about the beneficiary(ies) to make the payment. The beneficiary may receive the amount payable in a lump sum cash benefit, or, subject to any limitation under any state or federal law, rule, or regulation, under one of the annuity payment options described above, unless a settlement agreement is effective at the death of the owner preventing such election.

If an owner is not an annuitant, and dies prior to the annuity commencement date, the new owner may surrender the policy at any time for the amount of the adjusted policy value. If the new owner is not the deceased owner’s spouse, however, (1) the adjusted policy value must be distributed within five years after the date of the deceased owner’s death, or (2) payments under an annuity payment option must begin no later than one year after the deceased owner’s death and must be made for the new owner’s lifetime or for a period certain (so long as any period certain does not exceed the new owner’s life expectancy). If the sole new owner is the deceased owner’s surviving spouse, such spouse may elect to continue the policy as the new owner instead of receiving the death benefit.

Table of Contents

Beneficiary. The beneficiary designation in the enrollment form will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending written notice to the Company. The beneficiary’s consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. (If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary.) The change will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, whether or not the owner is living when the notice is received by the Company. The Company will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If upon the death of the annuitant there is a surviving owner(s), the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.

Death of Owner

Federal tax law requires that if any owner (including any joint owner who has become a current owner) dies before the annuity commencement date, then the entire value of the policy must generally be distributed within five years of the date of death of such owner. Certain rules apply where (1) the spouse of the deceased owner is the sole beneficiary, (2) the owner is not a natural person and the primary annuitant dies or is changed, or (3) any owner dies after the annuity commencement date. See “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences” for more information about these rules. Other rules may apply to qualified policies.

Assignment

During the lifetime of the annuitant you may assign any rights or benefits provided by the policy if your policy is a nonqualified policy. An assignment will not be binding on the Company until a copy has been filed at its administrative and service office. Your rights and benefits and those of the beneficiary are subject to the rights of the assignee. The Company assumes no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment. Any claim made under an assignment shall be subject to proof of interest and the extent of the assignment. An assignment may have tax consequences.

Unless you so direct by filing written notice with the Company, no beneficiary may assign any payments under the policy before they are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments will be subject to the claims of any beneficiary’s creditors.

Ownership under qualified policies is restricted to comply with the Code.

Evidence of Survival

The Company reserves the right to require satisfactory evidence that a person is alive if a payment is based on that person being alive. No payment will be made until the Company receives such evidence.

Non-Participating

The policy will not share in the Company’s surplus earnings; no dividends will be paid.

Amendments

No change in the policy is valid unless made in writing by the Company and approved by one of the Company’s officers. No registered representative has authority to change or waive any provision of the policy.

Table of Contents

The Company reserves the right to amend the policies to meet the requirements of the Code, regulations or published rulings. You can refuse such a change by giving written notice, but a refusal may result in adverse tax consequences.

Employee and Agent Purchases

The policy may be acquired by an employee or registered representative of any broker/dealer authorized to sell the policy or their immediate family, or by an officer, director, trustee or bona-fide full-time employee of the Company or its affiliated companies or their immediate family. In such a case, the Company in its discretion, may credit an amount equal to a percentage of each premium payment to the policy due to lower acquisition costs the Company experiences on those purchases. The Company may offer certain employer sponsored savings plans, reduced fees and charges including, but not limited to, the annual service charge, the surrender charges, the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge for certain sales under circumstances which may result in savings of certain costs and expenses. In addition, there may be other circumstances of which the Company is not presently aware which could result in reduced sales or distribution expenses. Credits to the policy or reductions in these fees and charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any owner.

Present Value of Future Variable Payments

The present value of future period certain variable payments is calculated by taking (a) the supportable payment on the business day we receive the surrender request (in good order at our Administrative and Service Office), multiplied by (b) the number of payments remaining, multiplied by a discount rate (such as the assumed investment rate or “AIR”).

Stabilized Payments

If you have selected a payout feature that provides for stabilized payments (e.g., the Initial Payment Guarantee), please note that the stabilized payments remain level throughout each year and are adjusted on your annuitization anniversary. Without stabilized payments, each payment throughout the year would fluctuate based on the performance of your selected subaccounts. To reflect the difference in these payments we adjust (both increase and decrease as appropriate) the number of annuity units. The annuity units are adjusted when we calculate the supportable payment. Supportable payments are used in the calculation of surrender values, death benefits and transfers. On the anniversary of your annuity commencement date we set the new stabilized payment equal to the current supportable payment. In the case of an increase in the number of variable annuity units, your participation in the future investment performance of the subaccounts will be increased because more variable annuity units are credited to you. Conversely, in the case of a reduction of the number of variable annuity units, your participation in the future investment performance of the subaccounts will be decreased because fewer variable annuity units are credited to you. If the Initial Payment Guarantee is chosen, then the stabilized variable annuity payment will equal the greater of the guaranteed payment or the supportable payment at that time.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following summary does not constitute tax advice. It is a general discussion of certain of the expected federal income tax consequences of investment in and distributions with respect to a policy, based on the Code, Regulations thereunder, judicial authority, and current administrative rulings and practice. This summary discusses only certain federal income tax consequences to “United States Persons,” and does not discuss state, local, or foreign tax consequences. United States Persons means citizens or residents of the United States, domestic corporations, domestic partnerships and trusts, or estates that are subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of their income.

Tax Status of the Policy

Diversification Requirements. Section 817(h) of the Code provides that in order for a non-qualified variable contract which is based on a segregated asset account to qualify as an annuity contract under the Code, the investments made by

 

11


Table of Contents

such account must be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations. The Regulations issued under Section 817(h) (Treas. Reg. Section 1.817-5) apply a diversification requirement to each of the subaccounts. The separate account, through its underlying fund portfolios and their portfolios, intends to comply with the diversification requirements of the Regulations. We have entered into agreements with each underlying fund portfolio company that require the portfolios to be operated in compliance with the Regulations.

Owner Control. In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. Although there is little guidance in this area and published guidance does not address certain aspects of the policies, we believe that the owner of a policy should not be treated as the owner of the underlying assets. We reserve the right to modify the policies to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent owners of the policies from being treated as the owners of the underlying separate account assets.

Distribution Requirements. The Code requires that nonqualified policies contain specific provisions for distribution of policy proceeds upon the death of any owner. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires that such policies provide that if any owner dies on or after the annuity commencement date and before the entire interest in the policy has been distributed, the remaining portion must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method in effect on such owner’s death. If any owner dies before the annuity commencement date, the entire interest in the policy must generally be distributed within 5 years after such owner’s date of death or be used to provide payments to a designated beneficiary beginning within one year of such owner’s death and will be made for the life of the beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. However, if upon such owner’s death prior to the annuity commencement date, such owner’s surviving spouse becomes the sole new owner under the policy, then the policy may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner. Under the policy, the beneficiary is the person(s) designated by an owner/annuitant and the surviving joint owner is the beneficiary of an owner who is not the annuitant. If any owner is not a natural person, then for purposes of these distribution requirements, the primary annuitant shall be treated as an owner and any death or change of such primary annuitant shall be treated as the death of an owner. The nonqualified policies contain provisions intended to comply with these requirements of the Code. No regulations interpreting these requirements of the Code have yet been issued and thus no assurance can be given that the provisions contained in the policies satisfy all such Code requirements. The provisions contained in the policies will be reviewed and modified if necessary to assure that they comply with the Code requirements when clarified by regulation or otherwise.

The Federal Defense of Marriage Act currently does not recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions, even those that are permitted under individual state laws. Therefore, exercise of the spousal continuation provisions of this policy by persons who do not meet the definition of “spouse” under federal law—e.g., civil union partners and same-sex marriage spouses—may have adverse tax consequences. Consult a tax advisor for more information on this subject.

The following discussion is based on the assumption that the policy qualifies as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes.

Taxation of Annuities

In General. Code Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that an owner who is an individual will not be taxed on increases in the value of a policy until such amounts are surrendered or distributed. For this purpose, the assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the policy value, and in the case of a qualified policy,

 

12


Table of Contents

any portion of an interest in the plan, generally will be treated as a distribution. The taxable portion of a distribution is taxable as ordinary income.

Non-Natural Persons. Pursuant to Section 72(u) of the Code, a nonqualified policy held by a taxpayer other than a natural person generally will not be treated as an annuity contract under the Code; accordingly, an owner who is not a natural person will recognize as ordinary income for a taxable year the excess, if any, of the policy value over the “investment in the contract”. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective purchaser of the policy that is not a natural person should discuss these with a competent tax adviser.

Withholding. The portion of any distribution under a policy that is includable in gross income will be subject to federal income tax withholding unless the recipient of such distribution elects not to have federal income tax withheld. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested or made. For certain qualified policies, the withholding rate varies according to the type of distribution and the owner’s tax status. For qualified policies taxable, “eligible rollover distributions” from Section 401(a) plans, Section 403(a) annuities, Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities, and governmental 457 plans are subject to a mandatory federal income tax withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution from such a plan, other than specified distributions such as distributions required by the Code, distributions in a specified annuity form or hardship distributions. The 20% withholding does not apply, however, to nontaxable distributions or if (i) the employee (or employee’s spouse or former spouse as beneficiary or alternate payee) chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to a tax-qualified plan, IRA, Roth IRA or tax sheltered annuity or to a governmental 457 plan that agrees to separately account for rollover contributions; or (ii) a non-spouse beneficiary chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to an IRA established by the direct rollover.

Qualified Policies. The qualified policy is designed for use with several types of tax-qualified retirement plans. The tax rules applicable to participants and beneficiaries in tax-qualified retirement plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from contributions in excess of specified limits, distributions prior to age 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions), distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules, and in other specified circumstances. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into the policies or our policy administration procedures. Owners, participants, and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions, and other transactions with respect to the policies comply with applicable law.

For qualified plans under Section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), and 457, the Code requires that distributions generally must commence no later than the later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) (i) reaches age 70 1/2 or (ii) retires, and must be made in a specified form or manner. If a participant in a Section 401(a) plan is a “5 percent owner” (as defined in the Code), or in the case of an IRA (other than a Roth IRA), distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) reaches age 70 1/2. Each owner is responsible for requesting distributions under the policy that satisfy applicable tax rules. Pursuant to special legislation, required minimum distributions for the 2009 tax year generally are not required, and 2009 distributions that otherwise would be required minimum distributions may be eligible for rollover.

We may make available, as options under the policy, certain guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefits and other optional benefits. The tax rules for qualified policies may limit the value of these optional benefits. Consult a qualified tax advisor before electing any of these benefits for a qualified policy.

Table of Contents

We do not attempt to provide more than general information about use of the policy with the various types of retirement plans. Purchasers of policies for use with any retirement plan should consult their legal counsel and tax adviser regarding the suitability of the policy.

Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities. In order to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuity under Section 408(b) of the Code, a policy must satisfy certain conditions: (i) the owner must be the annuitant; (ii) the policy generally is not transferable by the owner, e.g., the owner may not designate a new owner, designate a contingent owner or assign the policy as collateral security; (iii) subject to special rules, the total premium payments for any calendar year may not exceed the amount specified in the Code ($5,000 for 2010, $6,000 if age 50 or older), except in the case of a rollover amount or contribution under Section 402(c), 402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 403(b)(10), 408(d)(3) or 457(e)(16) of the Code; (iv) annuity payments or partial surrenders must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age 70 1/2; (v) an annuity payment option with a period certain that will guarantee annuity payments beyond the life expectancy of the annuitant and the beneficiary may not be selected; (vi) certain payments of death benefits must be made in the event the annuitant dies prior to the distribution of the policy value; (vii) the entire interest of the owner is non-forfeitable; and (viii) the premiums must not be fixed. Policies intended to qualify as traditional individual retirement annuities under Section 408(b) of the Code contain such provisions. Amounts in the IRA (other than nondeductible contributions) are taxed when distributed from the IRA. Distributions prior to age 59 1/2 (unless certain exceptions apply) are subject to a 10% penalty tax.

The Internal Revenue Service has not reviewed the policy for qualification as an IRA and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether the death benefit options and riders available with the policies comport with IRA qualification requirements.

Roth Individual Retirement Annuities (Roth IRA). The Roth IRA, under Section 408A of the Code, contains many of the same provisions as a traditional IRA. However, there are some differences. First, the contributions are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax. The Roth IRA is available to individuals with earned income and whose modified adjusted gross income is under $120,000 for single filers, $176,000 for married filing jointly, and $10,000 for married filing separately. Subject to special rules, the amount per individual that may be contributed to all IRAs (Roth and traditional) is the deductible amount specified in the Code ($5,000 for 2010, $6,000 if age 50 or older). Secondly, the distributions are taxed differently. The Roth IRA offers tax-free distributions when made 5 tax years after the first contribution to any Roth IRA of the individual and made after attaining age 59 1/2, to pay for qualified first time homebuyer expenses (lifetime maximum of $10,000), or due to death or disability. All other distributions are subject to income tax when made from earnings and may be subject to a penalty tax unless an exception applies. Unlike the traditional IRA, there are no minimum required distributions during the owner’s lifetime; however, required distributions at death are generally the same as for traditional IRAs.

Section 403(b) Plans. Under Section 403(b) of the Code, payments made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase policies for their employees are excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, such payments may be subject to FICA (Social Security) taxes. The policy includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the policy value. The death benefit could be characterized as an incidental benefit, the amount of which is limited in any tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403(b). Therefore, employers using the policy in connection with such plans should consult their tax adviser. Additionally, in accordance with the requirements of the Code, Section 403(b) annuities generally may not permit distribution of (i) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988, and (ii) earnings on those contributions, and (iii) earnings on amounts attributed to elective contributions held as of the end of the last year

 

14


Table of Contents

beginning before January 1, 1989. Distributions of such amounts will be allowed only upon the death of the employee, on or after attainment of age 59 1/2, severance from employment, disability, or financial hardship, except that income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship. These rules may prevent the payment of guaranteed withdrawals under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit prior to age 59 1/2.

For contracts issued after 2008, amounts attributable to nonelective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified in the employer’s section 403(b) plan.

Pursuant to new tax regulations, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders you request from a 403(b) policy comply with applicable tax requirements before we process your request.

Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans and H.R. 10 Plans. Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit corporate employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees and self-employed individuals to establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of the policies to accumulate retirement savings. Adverse tax consequences to the plan, the participant or both may result if the policy is assigned or transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments. The policy includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the policy value. The death benefit could be characterized as an incidental benefit, the amount of which is limited in a pension or profit sharing plan. Therefore, employers using the policy in connection with such plans should consult their tax adviser.

Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457 of the Code, while not actually providing for a qualified plan as that term is normally used, provides for certain deferred compensation plans with respect to service for state governments, local governments, political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities, and certain affiliates of such entities, and tax exempt organizations. The policies can be used with such plans. Under such plans a participant may specify the form of investment in which his or her participation will be made. For non-governmental Section 457 plans, all such investments, however, are owned by, and are subject to, the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. Depending on the terms of the particular plan, a non-government employer may be entitled to draw on deferred amounts for purposes unrelated to its Section 457 plan obligations. In general, all amounts received under a nongovernmental Section 457 plan are taxable and are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages.

Taxation of the Company

The Company at present is taxed as a life insurance company under part I of Subchapter L of the Code. The separate account is treated as part of the Company and, accordingly, will not be taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code. We do not expect to incur any federal income tax liability with respect to investment income and net capital gains arising from the activities of the separate account retained as part of the reserves under the policy. Based on this expectation, it is anticipated that no charges will be made against the separate account for federal income taxes. If, in future years, any federal income taxes are incurred by us with respect to the separate account, we may make a charge to that account.

INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE

A “net investment factor” is used to determine the value of accumulation units and annuity units, and to determine annuity payment rates.

 

15


Table of Contents

Accumulation Units

Allocations of a premium payment directed to a subaccount are credited in the form of accumulation units. Each subaccount has a distinct accumulation unit value. The number of units credited is determined by dividing the premium payment or amount transferred to the subaccount by the accumulation unit value of the subaccount as of the end of the valuation period during which the allocation is made. For each subaccount, the accumulation unit value for a given business day is based on the net asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios less any applicable charges or fees. The investment performance of the portfolio, expenses, and deductions of certain charges affect the value of an accumulation unit.

Upon allocation to the selected subaccount, premium payments are converted into accumulation units of the subaccount. The number of accumulation units to be credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to each subaccount by the value of an accumulation unit for that subaccount as next determined after the premium payment is received at the administrative and service office or, in the case of the initial premium payment, when the enrollment form is completed, whichever is later. The value of an accumulation unit for each subaccount was arbitrarily established at $1 at the inception of each subaccount. Thereafter, the value of an accumulation unit is determined as of the close of trading on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading.

An index (the “net investment factor”) which measures the investment performance of a subaccount during a valuation period, is used to determine the value of an accumulation unit for the next subsequent valuation period. The net investment factor may be greater or less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of an accumulation unit may increase, decrease, or remain the same from one valuation period to the next. You bear this investment risk. The net investment performance of a subaccount and deduction of certain charges affect the accumulation unit value.

The net investment factor for any subaccount for any valuation period is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c) from the result, where:

 

(a) is the net result of:

 

  (1) the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period, plus

 

  (2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution made with respect to the shares held in the subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the current valuation period, plus or minus

 

  (3) a per share credit or charge for any taxes determined by the Company to have resulted during the valuation period from the investment operations of the subaccount;

 

(b) is the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; and

 

(c) is an amount representing the separate account charge and any optional benefit fees, if applicable.

Where:

 

A =    The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share as of the end of the current valuation period.

 

    Assume    A = $11.57

 

B =    The per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution since the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.

 

    Assume    B = 0

 

C =    The per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for at the end of the current valuation period.

 

    Assume    C = 0

 

D =    The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share at the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.

 

    Assume    D = $11.40

 

E =    The daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge, and any optional benefit fees, if applicable. Assume E totals 2.30% on an annual basis; On a daily basis, this equals 0.000062302.

 

Then, the net investment factor =    (11.57 + 0 – 0) - 0.000062302 = Z = 1.014849979

Accumulation Unit Value = A * B

Where:

 

A =    The accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period.

B =    The net investment factor for the current valuation period.
  

Assume = Y

Then, the accumulation unit value = $X * Y = $Z

Annuity Unit Value and Annuity Payment Rates

The amount of variable annuity payments will vary with annuity unit values. Annuity unit values rise if the net investment performance of the subaccount exceeds the assumed investment return of 5% annually. Conversely, annuity unit values fall if the net investment performance of the subaccount is less than the annual assumed investment return. The value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount was established at $1 on the date operations began for that subaccount. The value of a variable annuity unit on any subsequent business day is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c), where:

 

(a) is the variable annuity unit value for the subaccount on the immediately preceding business day;

 

(b) is the net investment factor for that subaccount for the valuation period; and

 

17


Table of Contents
(c) is the assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period.

The assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period is the product of discount factors of .99986634 per day to recognize the 5% effective annual assumed investment return. The valuation period is the period from the close of the immediately preceding business day to the close of the current business day.

The net investment factor for the policy used to calculate the value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount for the valuation period is determined by dividing (i) by (ii) and subtracting (iii) from the result, where:

 

  (i) is the result of:

 

  (1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus

 

  (2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by the fund for shares held in that subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus

 

  (3) a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which the Company determines to have resulted from the investment operations of the subaccount.

 

(ii) is the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.

 

(iii) is a factor representing the mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge. This factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net asset value of shares held in that subaccount (For calculating Initial Payment Guarantee annuity payments, the factor is higher at a rate of 2.50%).

The dollar amount of subsequent variable annuity payments will depend upon changes in applicable annuity unit values.

The annuity payment rates generally vary according to the annuity option elected and the gender and adjusted age of the annuitant at the annuity commencement date. The policy contains a table for determining the adjusted age of the annuitant.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

Money Market Yields

The Company may from time to time disclose the current annualized yield of the money market subaccount, which invests in the corresponding money market portfolio, for a 7-day period in a manner which does not take into

 

19


Table of Contents

consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on shares of the corresponding money market portfolio or on its portfolio securities. This current annualized yield is computed by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) at the end of the 7-day period in the value of a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 unit of the money market subaccount at the beginning of the 7-day period, dividing such net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to determine the base period return, and annualizing this quotient on a 365-day basis. The net change in account value reflects (i) net income from the portfolio attributable to the hypothetical account; and (ii) charges and deductions imposed under a policy that are attributable to the hypothetical account. The charges and deductions include the per unit charges for the hypothetical account for (i) the administrative charges and (ii) the mortality and expense risk fee. Current yield will be calculated according to the following formula:

Current Yield = ((NCS * ES)/UV) * (365/7)

Where:

 

NCS   =    The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 subaccount unit.
ES   =    Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.
UV   =    The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.

Because of the charges and deductions imposed under a policy, the yield for the money market subaccount will be lower than the yield for the corresponding money market portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes. The yield calculations also do not reflect surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular policy. Surrender charges range from 9% to 0% of the amount of premium payments surrendered based on the number of years since the premium payment was made. Surrender charges are based on the number of years since the date the premium payment was made, not the policy issue date.

The Company may also disclose the effective yield of the money market subaccount for the same 7-day period, determined on a compounded basis. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return according to the following formula:

Effective Yield = (1 + ((NCS - ES)/UV))365/7 - 1

Where:

 

NCS   =    The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 subaccount unit.
ES   =    Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.
UV   =    The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.

The yield on amounts held in the money market subaccount normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The money market subaccount’s actual yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of the corresponding money market portfolio, the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the corresponding money market portfolio and its operating expenses.

Total Returns

The Company may from time to time also advertise or disclose total returns for one or more of the subaccounts for various periods of time. One of the periods of time will include the period measured from the date the subaccount commenced operations. When a subaccount has been in operation for 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively, the total return for these periods will be provided. Total returns for other periods of time may from time to time also be disclosed. Total returns represent the average annual compounded rates of return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000 to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day of each of the periods. The ending date for each period for which total return quotations are provided will be for the most recent month end practicable, considering the type and media of the communication and will be stated in the communication.

Total returns will be calculated using subaccount unit values which the Company calculates on each business day based on the performance of the separate account’s underlying fund portfolio and the deductions for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charges. Total return calculations will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular period. The total return will then be calculated according to the following formula:

P (1 + T) N = ERV

Where:

 

T   =    The average annual total return net of subaccount recurring charges.
ERV   =    The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical account at the end of the period.
P   =    A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.
N   =    The number of years in the period.

Other Performance Data

The Company may from time to time also disclose average annual total returns in a non-standard format in conjunction with the standard format described above. The non-standard format will be identical to the standard format except that the surrender charge percentage will be assumed to be 0%.

The Company may from time to time also disclose cumulative total returns in conjunction with the standard format described above. The cumulative returns will be calculated using the following formula except that the surrender charge percentage will be assumed to be 0%:

CTR = (ERV / P)-1

Where:

 

CTR   =    The cumulative total return net of subaccount recurring charges for the period.
ERV   =    The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical investment at the end of the period.
P   =    A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.

All non-standard performance data will only be advertised if the standard performance data is also disclosed.

Table of Contents

Adjusted Historical Performance Data

From time to time, sales literature or advertisements may quote average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a particular subaccount commenced operations. Such performance information for the subaccounts will be calculated based on the performance of the various portfolios and the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the portfolios, with the level of policy charges that are currently in effect.

PUBLISHED RATINGS

The Company may from time to time publish in advertisements, sales literature and reports to owners, the ratings and other information assigned to it by one or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor’s Insurance Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Financial Ratings. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect the financial strength of the Company. The ratings should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of assets held in the separate account or of the safety or riskiness of an investment in the separate account. Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best’s Ratings. These ratings reflect their current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health insurance industry. In addition, these ratings may be referred to in advertisements or sales literature or in reports to owners. These ratings are opinions of an operating insurance company’s financial capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their terms.

STATE REGULATION OF TRANSAMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

The Company is subject to the laws of Iowa governing insurance companies and to regulation by the Iowa Department of Insurance. An annual statement in a prescribed form is filed with the Department of Insurance each year covering the operation of the Company for the preceding year and its financial condition as of the end of such year. Regulation by the Department of Insurance includes periodic examination to determine the Company’s contract liabilities and reserves so that the Department may determine the items are correct. The Company’s books and accounts are subject to review by the Department of Insurance at all times, and a full examination of its operations is conducted periodically by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. In addition, the Company is subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which it may operate.

ADMINISTRATION

The Company performs administrative services for the policies. These services include issuance of the policies, maintenance of records concerning the policies, and certain valuation services.

RECORDS AND REPORTS

All records and accounts relating to the separate account will be maintained by the Company. As presently required by the 1940 Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company will mail to all owners at their last known address of record, at least annually, reports containing such information as may be required under that Act or by any other applicable law or regulation. Owners will also receive confirmation of each financial transaction and any other

 

22


Table of Contents

reports required by law or regulation. However, for certain routine transactions (for example, regular monthly premiums deducted from your checking account, or regular annuity payments the Company sends to you) you may only receive quarterly confirmations.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE POLICIES

We have entered into a principal underwriting agreement with our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), for the distribution and sale of the policies. We may reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the policies (e.g., commissions payable to selling firms selling the Policies, as described below.)

Effective May 1, 2007 TCI replaced our affiliate AFSG Securities Corporation (“AFSG”) as principal underwriter for the policies. TCI’s home office is located at 4600 S Syracuse St. Suite 1100 Denver, Colorado 80237-2719. TCI is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON USA. TCI is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”). TCI is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.

We currently offer the policies on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the policies, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering. The policies are offered to the public through sales representatives of broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that have entered into selling agreements with us and with TCI. TCI compensates these selling firms for their services. Sales representatives with these selling firms are appointed as our insurance agents.

We and our affiliates provide paid-in capital to TCI and pay for TCI’s operating and other expenses, including overhead, legal and accounting fees. We also pay TCI an “override” payment based on the pricing of the product which becomes part of TCI’s assets. In addition, we pay commission to TCI for policy sales; these commissions are passed through to the selling firms with TCI not retaining any portion of the commissions. During fiscal year 2009, 2008, and 2007 the amounts paid to TCI in connection with all policies sold through the separate account were $10,346,777, $11,193,398, and $9,087,116, respectively.

During fiscal year 2007 the amount paid to AFSG in connection with all policies sold through the separate account was $3,438,517. AFSG passed through commissions it received to selling firms for their sales and does not retain any portion of them.

We and/or TCI or another affiliate may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for: (1) “preferred product” treatment of the policies in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives; (2) sales promotions relating to the policies; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives; and (4) other sales expenses of the selling firms. We and/or TCI may make bonus payments to certain selling firms based on aggregate sales or persistency standards. These additional payments are not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling firms.

VOTING RIGHTS

To the extent required by law, the Company will vote the underlying fund portfolios’ shares held by the separate account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the underlying fund portfolios in accordance with instructions received

 

23


Table of Contents

from persons having voting interests in the portfolios, although none of the underlying fund portfolios hold regular annual shareholder meetings. If, however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result the Company determines that it is permitted to vote the underlying fund portfolios shares in its own right, it may elect to do so.

Before the annuity commencement date, you hold the voting interest in the selected portfolios. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct will be calculated separately for each subaccount. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct for a particular subaccount will be determined by dividing your policy value in the subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio in which the subaccount invests. Fractional shares will be counted.

After the annuity commencement date, the person receiving annuity payments has the voting interest, and the number of votes decreases as annuity payments are made and as the reserves for the policy decrease. The person’s number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for the policy allocated to the applicable subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares will be counted.

The number of votes that you or the person receiving income payments has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date established by the underlying fund portfolio for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the underlying fund portfolio. The Company will solicit voting instructions by sending you, or other persons entitled to vote, requests for instructions prior to that meeting in accordance with procedures established by the underlying fund portfolio. Portfolio shares as to which no timely instructions are received, and shares held by the Company in which you, or other persons entitled to vote have no beneficial interest, will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions that are received with respect to all policies participating in the same subaccount.

Each person having a voting interest in a subaccount will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.

OTHER PRODUCTS

The Company makes other variable annuity policies available that may also be funded through the separate account. These variable annuity policies may have different features, such as different investment choices or charges.

CUSTODY OF ASSETS

The Company holds assets of each of the subaccounts. The assets of each of the subaccounts are segregated and held separate and apart from the assets of the other subaccounts and from the Company’s general account assets. The Company maintains records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the underlying fund portfolios held by each of the subaccounts. Additional protection for the assets of the separate account is afforded by the Company’s fidelity bond, presently in the amount of $5,000,000, covering the acts of officers and employees of the Company.

APPENDIX

OA METHOD TRANSFERS

To make the Retirement Income Choice 1.2 Benefit available, we monitor your policy value and guarantees under the rider daily and periodically transfer amounts between your selected investment options and the OA Subaccount. We determine the amount and timing of OA Method transfers between the investment options and the OA Subaccount according to a mathematical model.

The mathematical model is designed to calculate how much of your policy value should be allocated to the OA Subaccount. Based on this calculation, transfers into or out of the OA Subaccount will occur (subject to the previously disclosed thresholds). The formula is:

Percent of Policy Value required in OA Subaccount (or X) =

e-Dividend*Time *(1- NormDist(d1))

where:

e = Base of the Natural Logarithm

NormDist = Cumulative Standard Normal Distribution

d1 = [ln(G)+(R – F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]

In order to calculate the percent of policy value required in the OA Subaccount, we must first calculate d1:

d1 = [ln(G)+(R – F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]

where:

ln = Natural Logarithm Function

G = Guarantee Ratio

R = Rate

F = Fees

V = Volatility

T = Time

After calculating d1, the percent of policy value required in the OA Subaccount can be calculated. Once calculated, appropriate transfers into or out of the OA Subaccount will occur (subject to the thresholds).

Following is a brief discussion of the values used in the formula.

The POLICY VALUE includes the value in both the investment options and in the OA Subaccount.

The GUARANTEE RATIO is the policy value divided by the greater of (1) premiums minus any adjusted partial withdrawals or (2) present value of rider withdrawal amount (the present value of the rider amount looks at the sum of the expected lifetime payments discounted using a factor of [5.5]).

OA METHOD TRANSFERS — (Continued)

 

The RATE is the interest rate used for the OA Method. It is based on a long-term expectation based on historical interest rates and may vary over time.

The FEES is an approximation of average policy fees and charges associated with policies that have elected the RIC 1.2 rider. This value may change over time.

The VOLATILITY represents the volatility of the returns of policy value for all in force policies and is based on the long-term expectation of the degree to which the policy values tend to fluctuate. This value may vary over time.

The TIME is an approximation based on actuarial calculations of historical average number of years (including any fraction) which we anticipate remain until any potential payments are made under the benefit. This value may vary over time.

The PERCENT OF POLICY VALUE TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE OA SUBACCOUNT is computed for each policy. Ultimately the allocation for a policy takes into account the guarantees under the rider and the limit on allocations to the OA Subaccount.

The CUMULATIVE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION function assumes that random events are distributed according to the classic bell curve. For a given value it computes the percentage of such events which can be expected to be less than that value.

The NATURAL LOGARITHM function for a given value, computes the power to which e must be raised, in order to result in that value. Here, e is the base of the natural logarithms, or approximately 2.718282.

Example:

Day 1: Policy Value Declines by 10%

For purposes of this example we will assume that the policy value declines by 10% to $90,000 the day after the rider issue date from the initial premium amount of $100,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 90% ($90,000/$100,000). We will also assume:

Guarantee Ratio = 90%

Rate = 4.5%

Volatility = 10%

Fees = 3%

Time = 20

First we calculate d1.

d1=[ln(G)+(R – F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]

d1=[ln(.90)+(.045 – .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]

d1=.658832

 

64


Table of Contents

OA METHOD TRANSFERS — (Continued)

 

Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the OA Subaccount.

Percent of Policy Value in OA Subaccount (or X) = e- Dividend*Time *(1-NormDist(d1))

X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 – NormDist(.658832))

X = 13.9948%

Therefore, 13.9948% of the policy value is transferred to the OA Subaccount, resulting in a total transfer of $12,595.32.

Day 2: Policy Value Recovers to 105% of Initial Value after the 10% Decline

For purposes of this example we will assume that after the policy value declined to $90,000 it recovered the next day to $105,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 105% ($105,000/$100,000). We will also assume:

Guarantee Ratio = 105%

Rate = 4.5%

Volatility = 10%

Fees = 3%

Time = 20

First we calculate d1.

d1=[ln(G)+(R – F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]

d1=[ln(1.05)+(.045 – .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]

d1= 1.003524

Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the OA Subaccount.

Percent of Policy Value in OA Subaccount (or X) = e-Dividend*Time *(1 - NormDist(d1))

X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 – NormDist(1.003524))

X = 8.6605%

While the mathematical model would suggest we transfer only a portion of the policy value in the OA Subaccount into your investment options (leaving 8.6605% in the OA Subaccount), all of the policy value in the OA Subaccount will be transferred into your investment options. If the Guarantee Ratio equals or exceeds 100%, then your policy value is greater than or equal to the value of the guarantee and there is no current need for any policy value to be allocated to the OA Subaccount.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of Transamerica Life Insurance Company (the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. Our audits also included the statutory-basis financial statement schedules required by Regulation S-X, Article 7. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles also are described in Note 1. The effects on the financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of Transamerica Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2009 and 2008, or the results of its operations or its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009.

A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited

However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transamerica Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic statutory-basis financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Noted 1 to the financial statements, at December 31, 2009, Transamerica Life Insurance Company changed its accounting for deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 10R, Income Taxes – Revised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10. Also, as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, during 2009, Transamerica Life Insurance Company changed its accounting for investments in loan backed and structured securities in accordance with SSAP No. 43 – Revised, Loan-backed and structured Securities. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, Transamerica Life Insurance Company, with the permission of the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, changed its policy for deferred income taxes at December 31, 2008. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, Transamerica Life Insurance Company, with the permission of the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, changed its policy related to its calculation of reserves related to synthetic guaranteed investment contracts at December 31, 2008. During 2009 the Company reverted to its previous accounting policy.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Transamerica Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a stock life insurance company owned by Transamerica Corporation (74.01% of preferred shares), AEGON USA, LLC (25.99% of preferred shares), and Transamerica International Holdings, Inc. (100% of common shares). Prior to the mergers, discussed below, the Company was owned by AEGON USA, LLC (100% of preferred shares) and Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company (100% of common shares). Transamerica Corporation (Transamerica), AEGON USA, LLC (AEGON), Transamerica International Holdings, Inc. (TIHI) and Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company (TOLIC) are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of AEGON N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.

On October 1, 2009, the Company completed a merger with Iowa Fidelity Life Insurance Company (IFLIC), which was wholly owned by AEGON. Prior to the merger, IFLIC was partially owned by external shareholders holding 1,500 shares of participating common stock. All shares of participating common stock were redeemed prior to the merger in exchange for cash in the amount of $421. The merger was accounted for in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 68, Business Combinations and Goodwill, as a statutory merger. As such, financial statements for periods prior to the merger were combined and the recorded assets, liabilities and surplus of IFLIC were carried forward to the merged company. As a result of the merger, IFLIC’s common stock was deemed cancelled by operation of law and the outstanding common shares of IFLIC, on the date of the merger, were retired and considered authorized but unissued stock of the merged entity.

In exchange for its agreement to merge IFLIC into the Company, AEGON received 149 shares of the Company’s Series B preferred shares which are equal in value to the common stock of IFLIC deemed cancelled by the merger.

Basis of Presentation

The preparation of financial statements of insurance companies requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The more significant variances from GAAP are:

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on their National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would be reported at amortized cost and the remaining fixed maturity investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income for those designated as available-for-sale. Prior to 2008, fair value for statutory purposes was based on the price published by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (SVO), if available, whereas fair value for GAAP was based on indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models. In 2008, the NAIC adopted regulation allowing insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method. Therefore, effective December 31, 2008, fair value for statutory purposes was reported or determined using the following pricing sources: indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.

All single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities (e.g., CMOs) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using either the retrospective or prospective methods. If the fair value of the mortgage-backed/asset-backed security is less than amortized cost, an entity shall assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. An other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred if the discounted estimated future cash flows are less than the amortized cost basis of the security. An other-than-temporary impairment is also considered to have occurred if the fair value of the mortgage-backed/asset-backed security is less than its amortized cost basis and the entity intends to sell the security or the entity does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

If it is determined an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred as a result of the cash flow analysis, the security is written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows. If an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred due to intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold, the security is written down to fair value. Prior to 2009, if it was determined that a decline in fair value was other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security was written down to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows.

For GAAP purposes, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets (e.g., CMO, CBO, CDO, CLO, MBS and ABS securities), other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary and the entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment should be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and its fair value at the impairment date. If the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment should be separated into a) the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and b) the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI), net of applicable taxes. Prior to 2009, if it was determined that a decline in fair value was other-than-temporary, the cost basis of the security was written down to fair value. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used.

Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in unassigned surplus as unrealized gains and losses. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, an embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of capital and surplus rather than to income as required for fair value hedges.

Derivative instruments are also used in replication transactions. In these transactions, the derivative is valued in a manner consistent with the cash investment and replicated asset. For GAAP, the derivative is reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in income.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis as for GAAP. Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating expenses for statutory reporting include rent for the Company’s occupancy of those properties. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted asset investment amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than to income as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation allowances for mortgage loans are established, if necessary, based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan. Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus as part of the change in asset valuation reserve (AVR), rather than being included as a component of earnings as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation Reserves: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity of the bond or mortgage loan based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. That net deferral is reported as the “interest maintenance reserve” (IMR) in the accompanying balance sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the income statement on a pre-tax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.

The AVR provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus; AVR is not recognized for GAAP.

Subsidiaries: The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, acquisition costs related to traditional life insurance and certain long duration accident and health insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, would be deferred and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves; for universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality and expense margins.

Separate Accounts with Guarantees: Some of the Company’s separate accounts provide policyholders with a guaranteed return. These separate accounts are included in the separate account. These separate accounts are included in the general account for GAAP due to the nature of the guaranteed return.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted”, primarily net deferred tax assets and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP), are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheet to the extent that those assets are not impaired.

Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received. Benefits incurred represent surrenders and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received and benefits incurred for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and guaranteed interest in group annuity contracts are recorded directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium income or benefits expense. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits. Under GAAP, for universal life policies, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent interest credited to the account values and the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value. Under GAAP, for all annuity policies without significant mortality risk, premiums received and benefits paid would be recorded directly to the reserve liability.

Benefit Reserves: Certain policy reserves are calculated based on statutorily required interest and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.

Reinsurance: Any reinsurance balance amounts deemed to be uncollectible have been written off through a charge to operations. In addition, a liability for reinsurance balances has been provided for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to the liability are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.

Losses associated with an indemnity reinsurance transaction are reported within income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the underlying reinsured contracts as would be required under GAAP.

Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP.

Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

Deferred Income Taxes: Effective December 31, 2009, the Company began computing deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 10R, Income Taxes – Revised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10, discussed in further detail in the Recent Accounting Pronouncement section of this note. Under SSAP 10R, deferred income tax assets are limited to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse during a timeframe corresponding with the Internal Revenue Service tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, plus 2) the lesser of the remaining gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized within three years of the balance sheet date or 15% of capital and surplus excluding any net deferred income tax assets, electronic data processing equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus 3) the amount of remaining gross deferred income tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred income tax liabilities after considering the character (i.e., ordinary versus capital) of the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The remaining deferred income tax assets are nonadmitted.

Deferred income taxes do not include amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred income taxes, a deferred income tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized in all future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets not realizable.

Goodwill: Goodwill is admitted subject to an aggregate limitation of ten percent of the capital and surplus in the most recently filed annual statement excluding electronic data processing equipment, operating system software, net deferred income tax assets and net positive goodwill. Excess goodwill is nonadmitted. Goodwill is amortized over ten years. Under GAAP, goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date over the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred.

Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies as would be required under GAAP.

Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported as surplus rather than as liabilities as would be required under GAAP.

Statements of Cash Flow: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of cash flow represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

Securities Lending Assets and Liabilities: If collateral is restricted and not available for the general use of the Company, an asset and related liability are not recorded on the balance sheet. However, if the collateral is not restricted and is available for general use, the Company is required to record the asset and related liability. Under GAAP, the asset and related liability must be recorded for collateral under the control of the Company, regardless of any restrictions on the collateral.

The effects of the foregoing variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements have not been determined by the Company, but are presumed to be material.

Other significant accounting practices are as follows:

Investments

Investments in bonds, except those to which the SVO has ascribed an NAIC designation of 6, are reported at amortized cost using the interest method.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method including anticipated prepayments, except for those with an NAIC designation of 6, which are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities, except principal-only and interest-only securities, which are valued using the prospective method.

Investments in both affiliated and unaffiliated preferred stocks in good standing are reported at cost or amortized cost. Investments in preferred stocks not in good standing are reported at the lower of cost or fair value as determined by the SVO, and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes. Non-redeemable preferred stocks are reported at fair value or lower of cost or fair value as determined by the SVO, and the related net unrealized gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

Hybrid securities, as defined by the NAIC, are securities designed with characteristics of both debt and equity and provide protection to the issuer’s senior note holders. During 2009, the classification of these securities was changed by the NAIC so that they are now to be reported as bonds. Previously, hybrid securities were not classified as debt by the SVO and were reported as preferred stock. As a result, effective January 1, 2009, hybrid securities with a carrying value of $1,687,604 were reclassified from preferred stock to bonds. The 2008 hybrid security balances remain reported as preferred stock and have not been reclassified in the 2008 balance sheet. These securities continue to meet the definition of a bond, in accordance with SSAP No. 26, Bonds, excluding Loan-backed and Structured Securities and therefore, are reported at amortized cost based upon their NAIC rating.

Common stocks of unaffiliated companies, which includes shares of mutual funds, are reported at fair value as determined by the SVO, and the related net unrealized capital gains or losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

Common stocks of affiliated insurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying statutory equity plus the admitted portion of goodwill. Common stocks of affiliated noninsurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying audited GAAP equity and the net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses, reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

The Company is restricted to trading Primus Guaranty, Ltd (Primus) and ACA Capital Holdings, Inc. (ACA), both common stock holdings, due to its ownership interest, which would require special securities filings prior to executing any purchase or sale transactions in regard to these securities. The carrying amount in Primus, which is carried at fair value, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $17,027 and $6,364, respectively. The carrying amount in ACA, which is carried at fair value, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $0 and $27, respectively.

Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Mortgage loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairment. A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement. When management determines that the impairment is other-than-temporary, the mortgage loan is written down to realizable value and a realized loss is recognized.

Land is reported at cost. Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost net of encumbrances. Real estate held for the production of income is reported at depreciated cost net of related obligations. Real estate that the Company has the intent to sell is reported at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, net of related obligations. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

The Company has minority ownership interests in joint ventures and limited partnerships. The Company carries these investments based on its interest in the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee. The Company recognized impairment write-downs for its investments in joint ventures and limited partnerships of $79,425, $42,829 and $4,556 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These write-downs are included in net realized capital gains (losses) within the statements of operations.

Investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties are valued at amortized cost. Tax credits are recognized in operations in the tax reporting year in which the tax credit is utilized by the Company.

Other “admitted assets” are valued principally at cost, as required or permitted by Iowa Insurance Laws.

Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. Changes in admitted asset carrying amounts of bonds, mortgage loans, common and preferred stocks are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or on real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Further, income is not accrued when collection is uncertain. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company excluded investment income due and accrued of $2,924 and $182, respectively, with respect to such practices.

The carrying values of all investments are reviewed on an ongoing basis for credit deterioration or changes in estimated cash flows. If this review indicates a decline in fair value that is other-than-temporary, the carrying value of the investment is reduced to its fair value, and a specific writedown is taken for all investments other than loan-backed or structured securities, which are reduced to the present value of expected cash flows where the Company has the ability and intent to hold the security until recovery. Such reductions in carrying value are recognized as realized losses on investments.

For dollar reverse repurchase agreements, the Company receives cash collateral in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities transferred by the Company in the transaction as of the transaction date. Cash received as collateral will be invested as needed or used for general corporate purposes of the Company.

Derivative Instruments

Interest rate swaps are the primary derivative financial instruments used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the underlying asset or liability. These interest rate swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed and floating rate amounts based on an underlying notional amount. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged each due date. Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally amortized cost, in the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the hedged instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The Company may hold foreign denominated assets or liabilities and cross currency swaps are utilized to convert the asset or liability to a US denominated security. Cross currency swap agreements are contracts to exchange two principal amounts of two currencies at the prevailing exchange rate at inception of the contract. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating rate interest payments in the swapped currencies. At maturity, the principal amounts are again swapped at a pre-determined rate of exchange. Each asset or liability is hedged individually and the terms of the swap must meet the terms of the hedged instrument. For cross currency swaps qualifying for hedge accounting, the premium or discount is amortized into income over the life of the contract and the foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as unrealized gain/loss in unassigned surplus. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus. If a swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the hedged instrument receives that treatment.

The Company may issue foreign denominated assets or liabilities and use forward rate agreements to hedge foreign currency risk associated with these products. These forward agreements are marked to fair value based on the current forward rate on the financial statements, and cash payments and/or receipts are recognized as realized gain or losses.

The Company issues products providing the customer a return based on the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 1000 indices. The Company uses S&P 500 and NASDAQ 1000 futures and/or options to hedge the liability option risk associated with these products. Futures are marked to fair value on a daily basis and a cash payment is made or received by the Company. These payments are recognized as realized gains or losses in the financial statements. Options are marked to fair value in the balance sheet and fair value adjustments are recorded in unassigned surplus.

Capped floating rate commercial mortgage loans and interest rate caps that are designated as hedges and meet hedge accounting rules are carried at amortized cost in the financial statements. A gain or loss upon early termination would be reflected in the IMR similar to the underlying instrument.

For forecasted hedge transactions, the deferred gain (loss) is recognized in income as the hedged asset affects income. If the derivative is no longer effective at achieving the desired risk management objective or if the forecasted transaction is no longer probable, hedge accounting will cease and the forward-starting swap will be marked to fair value through unassigned surplus.

The Company may sell products with expected benefit payments extending beyond investment assets currently available in the market. Because assets will have to be purchased in the future to fund future liability cash flows, the Company is exposed to the risk of future investments made at lower yields than what is assumed at the time of pricing. Forward-starting interest rate swaps are utilized to lock-in the current forward rate. The accrual of income for forward-starting interest rate swaps begins at the forward date, rather than at the inception date. These forward-starting swaps meet hedge accounting rules and are carried at cost in the financial statements. Gains and losses realized upon termination of the forward-starting swap are deferred and used to adjust the basis of the asset purchased in the hedged forecasted period. The basis adjustment is then amortized into income as a yield adjustment to the asset over its life.

A replication transaction is a derivative transaction, generally a credit default swap, entered into in conjunction with a cash instrument that is used to reproduce the investment characteristics of an otherwise permissible investment. For replication transactions, generally a premium is received by the Company on a periodic basis and recognized in investment income as earned. In the event the representative issuer defaults on its debt obligation referenced in the contract, a payment equal to the notional of the contract will be made by the Company and recognized as a capital loss. The Company complies with the specific rules established in AVR for replication transactions.

Prior to 2009, the carrying values of derivative instruments were netted and presented in either the derivative asset or the derivative liability line within the balance sheet, depending upon the net balance of the derivatives at the end of the reporting period. Beginning in 2009, the Company is no longer netting the derivative asset and liability balances for reporting purposes. Reclassifications have been made to the 2008 balance sheet to conform to the 2009 presentation. As of December 31, 2009, derivatives in the amount of $105,704 and $357,733 were recognized as an asset and liability, respectively, within the financial statements. As of December 31, 2008, derivatives in the amount of $390,101 and $225,884 were recognized as a derivative asset and liability, respectively, within the financial statements.

Separate Accounts

The majority of the separate accounts held by the Company, primarily for individual policyholders as well as for group pension plans, do not have any minimum guarantees, and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne by the policyholder. The assets in the accounts, carried at estimated fair value, consist of underlying mutual fund shares, common stocks, long-term bonds and short-term investments.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Certain other separate accounts held by the Company provide a minimum guaranteed return of 3% of the average investment balance to policyholders. The assets consist of long-term bonds and short-term investments which are carried at amortized cost.

Assets held in trust for purchases of variable universal life and annuity contracts and the Company’s corresponding obligation to the contract owners are shown separately in the balance sheets. The assets in the separate accounts are valued at fair value. Income and gains and losses with respect to the assets in the separate accounts accrue to the benefit of the contract owners and, accordingly, the operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements. The investment risks associated with fair value changes of the separate accounts are borne entirely by the policyholders except in cases where minimum guarantees exist. The Company received variable contract premiums of $4,279,394, $4,182,626 and $5,690,724 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, the Company received $376,545, $399,445 and $439,852 in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, related to fees associated with investment management, administration and contractual guarantees for separate accounts.

Aggregate Reserves for Policies and Contracts

Life, annuity and accident and health benefit reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed cash value, or the amount required by law.

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium for periods beyond the month of death.

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based principally upon the 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary Mortality and American Experience Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 6.00 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Methods. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method.

Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification. Generally, mean reserves are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the true age and holding, in addition, one-half (1/2) of the extra premium charge for the year. For certain flexible premium and fixed premium universal life insurance products, reserves are calculated utilizing the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method for universal life policies and recognizing any substandard ratings.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest. Reserves for immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with and without life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 11.50 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.

Annuity reserves also include guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) and funding agreements classified as life-type contracts as defined in SSAP No. 50, Classifications and Definitions of Insurance or Managed Care Contracts In Force. These liabilities have annuitization options at guaranteed rates and consist of floating interest rate and fixed interest rate contracts. The contract reserves are carried at the greater of the account balance or the value as determined for an annuity with cash settlement options, on a change in fund basis, according to the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.

Accident and health policy reserves are equal to the greater of the gross unearned premiums or any required mid-terminal reserves plus net unearned premiums and the present value of amounts not yet due on both reported and unreported claims.

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released and tabular cost have been determined by formula. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies has also been determined primarily by formula.

During 2009, the Company implemented an improved valuation method for single premium group annuity (SPGA) products. The prior method approximated the reserve using a spreadsheet-based balance roll forward. The current method is a seriatim valuation using a software package capable of making these calculations. The change in valuation process resulted in an increase in reserves in the amount of $3,053. The change in reserves has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.

During 2009, the Company reversed a change in reserve methodology implemented in 2008 pertaining to the change in valuation interest rates from those required under California insurance law to those allowed under Iowa insurance law due to the merger of TOLIC into TLIC. The Company changed back to valuation interest rates required under California insurance law during 2009 to meet the minimum aggregate reserve requirement for California and to preserve consistency in valuation rates and methods used for TOLIC’s California issued policies. This change in valuation process resulted in an increase in reserves in the amount of $28,005 which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

During 2008, the Company’s reserves decreased by $35,039 due to various changes in valuation basis. A decrease in reserves of $36,442 resulted from various valuation system upgrades or enhancements, the largest of which was the Prophet conversion. During 2008, the Company updated the valuation process which included conversion to the Prophet valuation system, subject to existing contractual mirror reserving requirements. Previously, reserves were determined by applying client reported data, with a one quarter of a year lag, against current in force volumes. The new method calculates the reserves directly (using Prophet) based on the current in force. The change in valuation process resulted in a decrease in reserves in the amount of $30,022, with a corresponding decrease in deferred premiums of $17,488. The change in reserves has been credited directly to unassigned surplus. A decrease in reserves of $23,967 represents a change in assumptions regarding the policyholder’s election to exercise the Supplementary Retirement Income Option rider attached to certain Universal Life policies. A decrease in reserves of $28,921 represents a change in valuation interest rates from those required under California insurance law to those allowed under Iowa insurance law due to the merger of TOLIC into TLIC. Also during 2008, the Company updated assumptions and made enhancements to valuation methodology related to its accident and health reserves. These changes resulted in a partially offsetting increase in accident and health reserves of $54,291.

Policy and Contract Claim Reserves

Claim reserves represent the estimated accrued liability for claims reported to the Company and claims incurred but not yet reported through the balance sheet date. These reserves are estimated using either individual case-basis valuations or statistical analysis techniques. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency. The estimates are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes available.

Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts

Deposit-type contracts do not incorporate risk from the death or disability of policyholders. These types of contracts may include GICs, funding agreements and other annuity contracts. Deposits and withdrawals on these contracts are recorded as a direct increase or decrease, respectively, to the liability balance and are not reported as premiums, benefits or changes in reserves in the statement of operations.

The Company issues certain funding agreements with well-defined class-based annuity purchase rates defining either specific or maximum purchase rate guarantees. However, these funding agreements are not issued to or for the benefit of an identifiable individual or group of individuals. These contracts are classified as deposit-type contracts in accordance with SSAP No. 50, Classifications and Definitions of Insurance or Managed Care Contracts Inforce.

Municipal Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Municipal reverse repurchase agreements are investment contracts issued to municipalities that pay either a fixed or floating rate of interest on the guaranteed deposit balance. The floating interest rate is based on a market index. The related liabilities are equal to the policyholder deposit and accumulated interest on the contract.

The Company enters into municipal reverse repurchase agreements for which it requires a minimum of 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred to be maintained as collateral.

Premiums and Annuity Considerations

Revenues for policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received and are recognized over the premium paying periods of the related policies. Consideration received and benefits paid for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk are recorded using deposit accounting and recorded directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium revenue.

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expense

Liabilities for losses and loss/claim adjustment expenses for accident and health contracts are estimated using statistical claim development models to develop best estimates of liabilities for medical expense business and using tabular reserves employing mortality/morbidity tables and discount rates meeting minimum regulatory requirements for other business. The balance in the liability for unpaid accident and health claim adjustment expenses as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $23,029 and $22,199, respectively.

The Company incurred $11,227 and paid $10,397 of claim adjustment expenses during 2009, of which $6,727 of the paid amount was attributable to insured or covered events of prior years.

Reinsurance

Coinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Gains associated with reinsurance of inforce blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and are amortized into income over the estimated life of the policies. Premiums ceded and recoverable losses have been reported as a reduction of premium income and benefits, respectively. Policy liabilities and accruals are reported in the accompanying financial statements net of reinsurance ceded.

Stock Option Plan and Stock Appreciation Rights Plans

Prior to 2002 and in 2005 through 2008, AEGON N.V. sponsored a stock option plan for eligible employees of the Company. Pursuant to the plan, the option price at the date of grant is equal to the fair value of the stock. Under statutory accounting principles, the Company does not record any expense related to this plan. However, the Company is allowed to record a deduction in the consolidated tax return filed by the Company and certain affiliates. The tax benefit of this deduction has been credited directly to unassigned surplus. No stock options were issued during 2009.

The Company’s employees participate in various stock appreciation rights (SAR) plans issued by the Company’s indirect parent. In accordance with SSAP No. 13, Stock Options and Stock Purchase Plans, the expense related to these plans for the Company’s employees has been charged to the Company, with an offsetting amount credited to paid-in surplus. The Company recorded a benefit of $214, $14,618 and $7,567 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In addition, the Company recorded an adjustment to paid-in surplus for the income tax effect related to these plans over and above the amount reflected in the statement of operations in the amount of $75 and $2,055, for years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company did not record an adjustment to surplus for the income tax effect related to these plans at December 31, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company began computing deferred income taxes in accordance with SSAP No. 10R. This statement establishes statutory accounting principles for current and deferred federal and foreign income taxes and current state income taxes. This statement temporarily replaces SSAP No. 10, Income Taxes. Under SSAP No. 10R, gross deferred tax assets (DTAs) shall be admitted in an amount equal to the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse by the end of the subsequent calendar year and the lesser of the amount of adjusted gross DTAs, expected to be realized within one year of the balance sheet date or 10% of capital and surplus excluding any net deferred income tax assets, electronic data processing equipment and operating system software and any net positive goodwill that can be offset against existing gross deferred income tax liabilities (DTLs) after considering the character. If the Company’s risk-based capital level (RBC) is above 250% where an action level could occur as a result of a trend test, the Company may elect to admit a higher amount of adjusted gross DTAs. When elected, additional DTAs are admitted for taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carryback provisions for existing temporary differences that reverse within three years of the balance sheet date and the lesser of the remaining gross DTAs expected to be realized within three years of the balance sheet date or 15% of capital and surplus excluding any

net deferred income tax assets, electronic data processing equipment and operating software and any positive net goodwill plus the amount of remaining gross DTAs that can be offset against gross DTLs after considering the character (i.e., ordinary versus capital) of the DTAs and DTLs. Prior to the adoption of SSAP No. 10R, the Company obtained permission from the state of Iowa to compute deferred income taxes using a permitted practice, which is discussed in detail in Note 2 – Prescribed and Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices. The election of the permitted practice at December 31, 2008 resulted in an increase to surplus of $380,358, which has been reflected as an aggregate write-in for other than special surplus funds. At December 31, 2009, the Company elected to admit additional deferred tax assets pursuant to SSAP No. 10R. The cumulative effect of the election of this statement is the difference between the calculation of the admitted DTA per SSAP No. 10R and the SSAP No. 10 methodology at December 31, 2009 as the use of the permitted practice expired as of December 15, 2009. As a result of this election, surplus increased by a cumulative effect of $295,260 at December 31, 2009, which has been reflected as an aggregate write-in for other than special surplus funds on the 2009 financial statements.

Effective December 31, 2009 the Company adopted amendments to SSAP No. 9, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The guidance requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. The adoption did not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position. See Note 17 for further discussion of the Company’s consideration of subsequent events.

Effective September 30, 2009, the Company adopted SSAP No. 43R, Loan-backed and Structured Securities. This statement establishes statutory accounting principles for investments in loan-backed and structured securities. The SSAP supersedes SSAP No. 98, Treatment of Cash Flows When Quantifying Changes in Valuation and Impairments and paragraph 13 of SSAP No. 99, Accounting for Certain Securities Subsequent to an Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. SSAP No. 43R changes the accounting for other-than-temporary impairments (OTTI). If the Company intends to sell a security or lacks the intent or ability to hold the security until it recovers to its amortized cost basis, the security shall be written down to its fair value. If the Company does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of a security, an OTTI shall be recognized as a realized loss equal to the difference between the security’s amortized cost basis and the present value of cash flows expected to be collected, discounted at the effective interest rate as outlined in the SSAP. Prior to the adoption of SSAP No. 43R, loan-backed and structured securities were accounted for in accordance with SSAP No. 43, which called for those securities to be impaired and written down using undiscounted cash flows. The cumulative effect of the adoption of this standard is the difference between the present value of expected cash flows for securities identified as having an OTTI compared with their amortized cost basis

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

as of July 1, 2009. This change in accounting principle reduced surplus by a net amount of $14,934 ($9,707 net of tax), which includes impairments of $40,973 offset by NAIC 6 rated securities that were already reported at lower of cost or market at the time of the implementation of SSAP No. 43R of $26,039, which have been removed from the component of change in net unrealized gains/losses.

In September 2008, the NAIC issued SSAP No. 99, Accounting for Certain Securities Subsequent to an Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. This statement establishes the statutory accounting principles for the treatment of premium or discount applicable to certain securities subsequent to the recognition of an OTTI. Prior to SSAP No. 99, the Company’s investments in OTTI were reported in accordance with SSAP No. 26, Bonds, excluding Loan-backed and Structured Securities, SSAP No. 32, Investments in Preferred Stock and SSAP No. 43, Loan-backed and Structured Securities. The Company adopted SSAP No. 99 on January 1, 2009. The adoption of this statement was accounted for prospectively and therefore there was no impact to the Company’s financials at adoption.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2008 and 2007 financial statements to conform to the 2009 presentation.

2. Prescribed and Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices

The Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of Iowa for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under the Iowa Insurance Law.

The NAIC’s Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP) has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Iowa. The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to reserve credits with respect to secondary guarantee reinsurance treaties. As prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 191-17.3(2), the Commissioner found that the Company is entitled to take reserve credit for such a reinsurance contract in the amount equal to the portion of total reserves attributable to the secondary guarantee, whereas this type of reinsurance does not meet the specific requirements of SSAP No. 61, Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance and Appendix A-791 of the NAIC SAP.

2. Prescribed and Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices (continued)

 

The Company, with explicit permission from the State of Iowa Deputy Commissioner of Insurance, records the value of its wholly owned foreign life subsidiary, Transamerica Life (Bermuda), Ltd. (TLB), based upon audited statutory equity rather than audited U.S. GAAP equity adjusted to a statutory basis of accounting, utilizing adjustments as outlined in SSAP No. 97 – Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, a replacement of SSAP No. 88, paragraph 9.

At December 31, 2008, the Company received written approval from the Iowa Insurance Division to determine the admitted amount of deferred income tax assets pursuant to Iowa Bulletin 09-01. Bulletin 09-01 increased the realization period for purposes of determining the admissibility of deferred tax assets in accordance with the requirements of SSAP No. 10 – Income Taxes, Paragraph 10(b)(i) from one year to three years from the balance sheet date and expanded the limit on net deferred tax assets for Paragraph 10(b)(ii) from 10% of adjusted capital and surplus to 15%. The Company did not utilize this permitted practice during 2009 and instead opted to calculate deferred income taxes using the provisions of SSAP No. 10R.

A reconciliation of the Company’s net income and capital and surplus between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed and permitted by the State of Iowa is shown below:

3. Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors

During 2009, the Company corrected the financial statement presentation of the preferred treasury stock. On December 19, 2007, the Company repurchased 57,340 shares of its Series B preferred shares for $573,400. The par value of the Series B preferred shares is $10 per share and the liquidation value is also $10 per share. At December 31, 2007, the financial statement of the Company appropriately presented the $573,400 as preferred treasury stock. Due to the merger of LIICA and TOLIC into the Company on October 2, and October 1, 2008, respectively, Transamerica Corporation was issued 86,590 shares of Series B preferred stock. Rather than reflecting the Series B preferred stock issued as first a reduction of treasury stock, with the remaining shares issued to TA Corp presented as additional shares issued and outstanding, the Company incorrectly presented the entire amount of the 86,590 shares issued to TA Corp as newly issued and outstanding shares. During 2009, the Company corrected the presentation of the Series B preferred shares, which resulted in a reduction of $573,400 to treasury stock and a reduction in the preferred capital stock line of $573, with an offset to gross paid-in capital. There was no net surplus impact to the Company due to this correction.

The Company entered into an agreement with an affiliated entity in which certain mortgage loans and real estate were sold with an effective date of December 31, 2008. The sales of these mortgage loans and real estate were not reflected in the December 31, 2008 financial statements. As a result, the Company has reflected such sales in the current quarterly statement and has identified the surplus impact of such corrections as a separate change in capital and surplus within the statement of operations for 2009. Had these sales been appropriately recognized within the December 31, 2008 financials, the AVR balance would have been $6,275 lower and the sales would have increased the Company’s net loss by $7,173, for a net negative surplus impact of $898.

During 2008, the Company obtained approval from the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa to calculate the reserves related to synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (synthetic GICs) utilizing a discount rate corresponding to the corporate bond AA credit curve, versus 105% of the Treasury spot-rate curve, which was utilized in previous years. The difference in the reserves held under the reserve methodology utilized at December 31, 2008 versus previous years’ methodology is a decrease in reserves of approximately $89,002. This approval is still effective, however, as of December 31, 2009, the Company resumed the higher reserve standard of utilizing the discount rate of 105% of the Treasury spot-rate curve to calculate its reserves related to its outstanding synthetic GIC contracts. Only one contract had a non-zero reserve. This was calculated as $10,527, but was limited to the maximum liability as outlined in the contract of $3,000.

3. Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors (continued)

 

Effective January 1, 2008, the Company modified the way it records interest on income taxes. Prior to January 1, 2008, interest on income taxes was included as a net amount (after federal tax benefit) within federal and foreign income taxes recoverable. Effective January 1, 2008, the gross amount of interest was included in taxes, licenses, and fees due and accrued, which is part of other liabilities, and the related deferred tax asset was included in net deferred income tax asset. The Company reported an increase in unassigned surplus of $969 related to the change in deferred income tax asset, with an offsetting decrease to unassigned surplus as a correction of interest on taxes on January 1, 2008, resulting in no impact to unassigned surplus.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Bonds and Preferred Stocks: Prior to 2008, fair values for bonds and preferred stocks were based on the price published by the SVO, if available. In 2008, the NAIC adopted regulation allowing insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or to determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method. Therefore, effective December 31, 2008, fair value for statutory purposes was reported or determined using the following pricing sources: indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.

For fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services, or, in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments.

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the loans.

Other Invested Assets: The financial instruments included in this category are primarily investments in surplus notes issued by other insurance companies and fixed or variable rate investments with underlying characteristics of bonds. The fair values for these investments were determined predominantly by using indexes, third party pricing services, and internal models.

Policy Loans: The fair value of policy loans is assumed to equal their carrying amount.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Short-Term Notes Receivable from Affiliates: The carrying amounts reported in the statutory-basis balance sheets for these instruments approximate their fair value.

Deposit-Type Contracts: The carrying amounts of deposit-type contracts approximate their fair values.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The estimated fair values of interest rate caps and options are based upon the latest quoted market price at the balance sheet date. The estimated fair values of swaps, including interest rate and currency swaps, are based on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions. The carrying amounts of these items are included as a gross asset and a gross liability on the balance sheet.

Credit Default Swaps: The estimated fair value of credit default swaps are based upon the pricing differential as of the balance sheet date for similar swap agreements.

Investment Contract Liabilities: Fair values for the Company’s liabilities under investment-type contracts, which include GICs and funding agreements, are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued. For investment contracts with no defined maturity, fair value is estimated to be the present surrender value.

Receivable From/Payable to Parents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates: The carrying value of receivable from/payable to affiliates approximates their fair value.

Surplus Notes: Fair values for surplus notes are estimated using discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

Separate Account Assets and Annuity Liabilities: The fair value of separate account assets are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of separate account annuity liabilities approximate the fair value of the separate account assets less a provision for the present value of future profits related to the underlying contracts.

Fair values for the Company’s insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts (including separate account universal life liabilities) are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Included in the Company’s financial statements are certain investment-related financial instruments that are carried at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company also holds other financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; including impaired financial instruments, such as bonds and preferred stock that are carried at the lower of cost or market. Under Statutory Accounting practice, the Company calculates the fair value of affiliated common stock based on the equity method of accounting; as such, it is not included in the following fair value measurement disclosure.

The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair values are based on quoted market prices when available. When market prices are not available, fair value is generally estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, incorporating current market inputs for similar financial instruments with comparable terms and credit quality (matrix pricing). In instances where there is little or no market activity for the same or similar instruments, the Company estimates fair value using methods, models and assumptions that management believes market participants would use to determine a current transaction price. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment which becomes significant with increasingly complex instruments or pricing models. Where appropriate, adjustments are included to reflect the risk inherent in a particular methodology, model or input employed.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements). The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 -   Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible at the measurement date.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Level 2 -   Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
 

a)      Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

 

b)      Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets

 

c)      Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable

 

d)      Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means

Level 3 -   Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Financial Assets

In certain circumstances, the Company will obtain non-binding quotes from brokers to assist in the determination of fair value. If those quotes can be corroborated by other market observable data, the investment will be classified as Level 2. If not, the investment is classified as Level 3 due to the lack of transparency into the broker’s valuation process.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Bonds, which have a designation of NAIC 6, are considered to be at or near default and are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Furthermore, beginning December 31, 2009, a new process was implemented by the NAIC to determine the designation for certain non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS). Under this process, the designation for these securities is based on two steps. Those securities whose designation is an NAIC 6 in the first step are also carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

The Company closely monitors below investment grade holdings and those investment grade issuers where the Company has concerns. The Company also regularly monitors industry sectors. Non-structured securities in unrealized loss positions that are considered other-than-temporary are written down to fair value. Structured securities considered other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to discounted estimated cash flows if the impairment is the result of cash flow analysis. If the Company has an intent to sell or lack of ability to hold a structured security, it is written down to fair value. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary including: (1) the probability of the Company collecting all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security in affect at the date of acquisition; (2) the Company’s decision to sell a security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying amount; and (3) the Company’s ability to hold a structured security for a period of time to allow for recovery of the value to its carrying amount. Additionally, financial condition, near term prospects of the issuer and nationally recognized credit rating changes are monitored. For asset-backed securities, cash flow trends and underlying levels of collateral are monitored. The Company will record a charge to the statement of operations to the extent that these securities are subsequently determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

At December 31, 2009, the Company’s banking sector had investments in an unrealized loss position which had a fair value of $2,120,033 and a carrying value of $2,559,561, resulting in a gross unrealized loss of $439,528. The unrealized losses in the banking sub-sector primarily reflect the size of the Company’s holdings, low floating rate coupons on some securities, and credit spread widening due to economic weakness and market concerns that deeply subordinated securities will not be supported by governments should banks find themselves in need of state aid. Government initiatives put into place during 2008 and 2009 have been largely successful in reopening the funding markets though lending remains cautious in some countries and sectors of the economy. Many banks have benefited from both direct assistance (government capital injections, asset relief plans and government guarantees on debt) and indirect assistance (various government liquidity measures, including short-term funding facilities). Global banks remain somewhat vulnerable to ongoing asset write-downs, credit losses and weak earnings prospects that are associated with a recessionary environment. This continues to pressure subordinated and longer duration holdings. The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the unrealized loss and does not consider those investments to be impaired as of December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2009, the Company’s commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) portfolio had investments in an unrealized loss position which had a fair value of $2,843,189 and a carrying value of $3,624,839, resulting in a gross unrealized loss of $781,650. CMBS are securitizations of underlying pools of mortgages on commercial real estate. The underlying mortgages have varying risk characteristics and are pooled together and sold in different rated tranches. The Company’s CMBS portfolio includes conduit, large loan, single borrower, commercial real estate collateral debt obligations (CRE CDOs), and franchise loan receivable trusts.

All CMBS securities are monitored and modeled under base and several stress-case scenarios by asset specialists. For conduit securities, a widely recognized industry modeling software is used to perform a loan-by-loan, bottom-up analysis. For non-conduit securities a CMBS asset specialist works closely with the Company’s real estate valuation group to determine underlying asset valuation and risk. Both methodologies incorporate external estimates on the property market, capital markets, property cash flows, and loan structure. Results are then closely analyzed by the asset specialist to determine whether or not a principal or interest loss is expected to occur. If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows, and the Company does not have the intent to sell the security and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows.

Over the past 18 months, the commercial real estate market has continued to soften. As property fundamentals deteriorate, CMBS loan delinquencies have been climbing at the same time. The introduction of the 20% and 30% credit enhanced classes within the 2005-2008 vintage deals provide some offset to these negative fundamentals. Despite beginning to show signs of improvement, the lending market remains limited as lenders have become more conservative with underwriting standards, property transactions have diminished greatly, and higher mortgage spreads have curtailed borrowing. A lack of liquidity in the market combined with a broad re-pricing of risk has led to increased credit spreads across the credit classes. As the remaining unrealized losses in the CMBS portfolio relate to holdings where the Company expects to receive full principal and interest and the Company does not have the intent to sell and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the Company does not consider the underlying investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2009 the Company’s residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) sector portfolio had investments in an unrealized loss position which had a fair value of $2,770,416 and a carrying value of $3,943,294, resulting in a gross unrealized loss of $1,172,878. RMBS are securitizations of underlying pools of non-commercial mortgages on real estate. The underlying residential mortgages have varying credit ratings and are pooled together and sold in tranches. The Company’s RMBS portfolio includes collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), government sponsored enterprise (GSE) guaranteed pass-throughs, whole loan pass-throughs, Alternative-A Paper MBS and negative amortization MBS.

All RMBS securities of the Company are monitored and reviewed on a monthly basis with detailed modeling completed on each portfolio quarterly. Model output is generated under base and several stress-case scenarios. RMBS asset specialists utilize widely recognized industry modeling software to perform a loan-by-loan, bottom-up approach to modeling. Models incorporate external loan-level analytics to identify the riskiest securities. The results from the models are then closely analyzed by the asset specialist to determine whether or not a principal or interest loss is expected to occur. If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows, and the Company does not have the intent to sell the security and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows.

The pace of deterioration of RMBS securities continued in early 2009, but began to stabilize in late 2009. Even with the stabilization, fundamentals in RMBS securities continue to be weak. Delinquencies and severities in property liquidations remain at an elevated level. Prepayments remain at historically low levels. Due to the weak fundamental situation, reduced liquidity, and the requirement for higher yields due to uncertainty, credit spreads remain elevated across the asset class. As the unrealized losses in the RMBS portfolio relate to holdings where the Company expects to receive full principal and interest and the Company does not have the intent to sell and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the Company does not consider the underlying investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2009.

At December 31, 2009, the Company’s asset-backed securities (ABS) subprime mortgage portfolio had investments in an unrealized loss position which had a fair value of $948,011 and a carrying value of $1,337,132, resulting in a gross unrealized loss of $389,121.

Sub-prime mortgages are loans to homebuyers who have weak or impaired credit histories, are loans that are non-conforming or are loans that are second in priority. The Company does not sell or buy sub-prime mortgages directly. The Company’s exposure to sub-prime mortgages is through ABS. These securities are pools of mortgages that have been securitized and offered to investors as ABS, where the mortgages are collateral. Most of the underlying mortgages within the pool have FICO scores below 660 at issuance. Therefore, the ABS has been classified by the Company as a sub-prime mortgage position. Also included in the Company’s total sub-prime mortgage position are ABS with second lien mortgages as collateral. The second lien mortgages may not necessarily have sub-prime FICO scores; however, the Company has included these ABS in its sub-prime position as it’s the second priority in terms of repayment. The Company does not have any “direct” residential mortgages to sub-prime borrowers outside of the ABS structures.

The Company became cautious of the structural aspects of the mezzanine classes in 2002 and stopped purchasing the mezzanine tranches with an original NRSRO rating at issuance of ‘A’ or lower in 2003. Beginning in 2003, the Company began actively selling mezzanine positions as market spreads tightened, continued to upgrade the portfolio and reduced relative exposure to the sector as underwriting deteriorated.

All ABS sub-prime mortgage securities are monitored and reviewed on a monthly basis with detailed cash flow models using the current collateral pool and capital structure on the portfolio quarterly. Model output is generated under base and several stress-case scenarios. ABS-housing asset specialists utilize widely recognized industry modeling software to perform a loan-by-loan, bottom-up approach to modeling. The ABS-housing models incorporate external estimates on property valuations, borrower characteristics, propensity of a borrower to default or prepay and the overall security structure. Defaults were estimated by identifying the loans that are in various delinquency buckets and defaulting a certain percentage of them over the near-term and long-term. Recent payment history, a percentage of on-going delinquency rates and a constant prepayment rate are also incorporated into the models. Once the entire pool is modeled, the results are closely analyzed by the asset specialist to determine whether or not the Company’s particular tranche or holding is at risk for payment interruption. If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows, and the Company does not have the intent to sell the security and does have the ability to hold the security, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows.

Fair values on the Company’s ABS sub-prime mortgage portfolio have declined as the collateral pools have experienced higher than expected delinquencies and losses, further exacerbated by the impact of declining home values on borrowers using affordability products. The unrealized loss is primarily due to decreased liquidity and increased credit spreads in the market combined with significant increases in expected losses on loans within the underlying pools. Expected losses within the underlying pools are generally higher than original expectations, primarily in certain later-vintage adjustable rate mortgage loan pools, which has led to some rating downgrades in these securities.

During 2009, the Company issued mortgage loans with interest rates of 6.65% for commercial loans and 7% for agricultural loans. The maximum percentage of any one mortgage loan to the value of the underlying real estate at origination was 60%. Mortgage loans with a carrying amount of $11 were non-income producing for the previous 180 days. Accrued interest of $3, $346 and $3 related to these mortgage loans was excluded from investment income at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company has a mortgage or deed of trust on the property thereby creating a lien which gives it the right to take possession of the property (among other things) if the borrower fails to perform according to the terms of the loan documents. The Company requires all mortgaged properties to carry fire insurance equal to the value of the underlying property.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company held $121,760 and $28,709 in impaired loans with related allowance and credit losses of $8,024 and $11,924. There were no impaired mortgage loans held without an allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The average recorded investment in impaired loans during 2009 was $32,445.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the allowance for credit losses on mortgage loans:

A write down of carrying value is required when an investor’s intent to retain the investment in the issuer has changed at the reporting date and there is not a sufficient period of time to allow for any anticipated recovery in value to occur. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company recorded an impairment of $15,287 and $42,829 for its investment in Zero Beta Fund, LLC. The impairment was taken because there is an intent to sell some of the underlying investments of the fund before any anticipated recovery in value would occur.

The Company recorded an impairment of $40,688 for its investment in Real Estate Alternatives Portfolio 2, LLC and an impairment of $10,030 for its investment in Real Estate Alternatives Portfolio 3, LLC. The impairment was taken because the declines in fair value of underlying investments of the fund were deemed to be other-than-temporary.

The Company recorded an impairment of $2,120 for its investment in Yucaipa Equity Partners, L.P., an impairment of $2,884 for its investment in BCI Growth IV, L.P., an impairment of $296 for its investment in Allsop Venture Partners III, L.P., an impairment of $1,548 for its investment in B III Capital Partners, L.P., an impairment of $551 for its investment in Cahill, Warnock Strategic Partners Fund, L.P., an impairment of $49 for its investment in CM Equity Partners, L.P., an impairment of $133 for its investment in Conning Insurance Capital Limited Partnership III, an impairment of $706 for its investment in FS Equity Partners III, L.P., and an impairment of $5,133 for its investment in Harbour Group Investments III, L.P. It was determined that the decline was other-than-temporary because the expected future proceeds is the current reflected fair value on each of the deals.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, an impairment of $4,285 was recorded for MP Shoreline Associates, a LIHTC property. The impairment was determined by comparing the current book value to the fair value. The fair value was determined by discounting the anticipated future cash flows. Since the decline in fair value was determined to be other-than-temporary, the investment was written down to fair value.

The Company has an investment in Invenergy TN, LLC, a partnership which owns a 27 megawatt wind generating facility in Anderson County, Tennessee. This investment generates tax credits based on the amount of electricity produced from the wind turbines. Based on the project’s actual performance and a revised wind study, it was determined that the investment will not perform to the levels originally expected. For the year ending December 31, 2007, an impairment of $4,556 was recorded for the Invenergy TN, LLC partnership. The impairment was determined by comparing the current book value to the fair value as supplied by a third party. The fair value was determined by discounting future cash flows, expected future tax credits and income tax benefits of losses from the investment. Since the decline in fair value was determined to be other-than-temporary, the investment in the partnership was written down to the fair value amount. No further impairment was recorded for the Invenergy TN, LLC partnership during 2009 or 2008.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had ownership interests in 61 LIHTC properties. The remaining years of unexpired tax credits ranged from 1 to 12 and none of the properties were subject to regulatory review. The length of time remaining for holding periods ranged from 1 to 16 years. The amount of contingent equity commitments expected to be paid during the years 2010 to 2019 is $45,413. There were no impairment losses, write-downs or reclassifications during the year related to any of these credits.

The following table provides the carrying value of state transferable tax credits gross of any related tax liabilities and total transferable tax credits by state and in total as of December 31, 2009:

 

Description of State Transferable Tax Credits

   State    Carrying
Value
   Unused
Amount*

Low-Income Housing Tax Credits

   MA    $ 4,479    $ 8,370
                

Total

      $ 4,479    $ 8,370
                

 

* The unused amount reflects credits that the Company deems will be realizable in the period from 2010 to 2014.

The Company estimated the utilization of the remaining state transferable tax credits by projecting future tax liability based on projected premium, tax rates and tax credits, and comparing projected future tax liability to the availability of remaining state transferable tax credits. The Company had no impairment losses related to state transferable tax credits.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. An interest rate swap is an arrangement whereby two parties (counterparties) enter into an agreement to exchange periodic interest payments. The dollar amount the counterparties pay each other is an agreed-upon period interest rate multiplied by an underlying notional amount. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. The Company also uses cross currency swaps to reduce market risk in foreign currencies and to alter exchange exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. A cash payment is often exchanged at the outset of the swap contract, representing the present value of cash flows of the instrument. A notional currency exchange occurs at the beginning and end of the contract. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating interest payments in its swapped currency. All swap transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements providing for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty at each due date.

An interest rate floor provides for the receipt of payments in the event interest rates fall below the strike rates in the contract. The interest rate floor is designed to generate cash flows to offset the lower cash flows received on assets during low interest rate environments. The Company pays a single premium at the beginning of the contract. These interest rate floors are marked to fair value in the balance sheet and the fair value adjustment is recorded in capital and surplus.

The Company invests in capped floating rate commercial mortgage loans and uses interest rate caps to convert the commercial mortgage loan into a pure floating rate asset in order to meet its overall asset/liability strategy. Interest rate caps provide for the receipt of payments when interest rates rise above the strike rates in the contract. A single premium is paid by the Company at the beginning of the interest rate cap contracts.

The Company replicates investment grade corporate bonds by combining a AAA rated security, as a cash component, with a credit default swap which, in effect, converts the high quality asset into a lower rated investment grade asset. Using the swap market to replicate credit quality enables the Company to enhance the relative values while having the ability to execute larger transactions in a shortened time frame. A premium is received by the Company on a periodic basis and recognized in investment income. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had replicated assets with a fair value of $475,424 and $466,244 and credit default swaps with a fair value of $1,377 and $(21,375), respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, the Company recognized $3,088 and $306 in capital losses related to replication transactions. For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized no capital losses related to replication transactions.

The Company issues products providing the customer a return based on various global equity market indices. The Company uses global futures contracts and/or options to hedge the liability option risk associated with these products. Options are marked to fair value in the balance sheet and the fair value adjustment is recorded to unassigned surplus in the financial statements. The Company recognized income from options contracts in the amount of $1,534 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The Company did not recognize any income from options contracts for the years ended December 31, 2008 or 2007.

The Company is exposed to credit related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit ratings. The credit exposure of interest rate swaps and currency swaps is represented by the fair value of contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive fair value at the reporting date. The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets on the Company’s behalf. The posted amount is equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold that is based on the credit rating of the counterparty. Inversely, if the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, the Company is required to post assets instead. At December 31, 2009, the fair value of all contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive and a negative fair value amounted to $219,070 and $320,048, respectively.

The maximum term over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 23 years. The Company hedges the variability in future cash flows from expected future investment purchases due to changes in interest rates through the use of forward starting interest rate swaps. If the forecasted asset purchase does not occur or is no longer highly probable of occurring, valuation at cost ceases and the forward-starting swap would be valued at its current fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, none of the Company’s cash flow hedges have been discontinued as it was probable that the original forecasted transactions would occur by the end of the originally specified time period documented at inception of the hedging relationship. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has accumulated deferred gains in the amount of $103,278 related to the termination of forecasted transactions. It is expected that these gains will be used as basis adjustments on future asset purchases expected to transpire throughout 2026.

Derivative instruments are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that future changes in market prices may make the instruments less valuable. The Company uses derivatives as hedges; consequently, when the value of the derivative changes, the value of a corresponding hedged asset or liability will move in the opposite direction. Market risk is a consideration when changes in the value of the derivative and the hedged item do not completely offset (correlation or basis risk) which is mitigated by active measuring and monitoring.

The Company utilizes futures contracts to hedge against changes in market conditions. Initial margin deposits are made by cash deposits or segregation of specific securities as may be required by the exchange on which the transaction was conducted. Pursuant to the contracts, the Company agrees to receive from or pay to the broker, an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Company as a variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts. During the period the futures contracts are open, daily changes in the values of the contracts are recognized as realized gains (losses) since they are effectively settled daily through the variation account. The Company recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Company’s cost basis in the contract. The Company recognized net realized gains (losses) from futures contracts in the amount of $(180,328), $119,833 and $(9,888) for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has recorded $(73,133) and $264,343, respectively, for the component of derivative instruments utilized for hedging purposes that did not qualify for hedge accounting. This has been recorded directly to unassigned surplus as an unrealized gain (loss). The Company did not recognize any unrealized gains and losses during 2009 and 2008 that represented the component of derivative instruments gain or loss that was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, investments with an aggregate carrying value of $44,519,346 and $44,600,539, respectively, were on deposit with regulatory authorities or were restrictively held in bank custodial accounts for the benefit of such regulatory authorities, as required by statute.

6. Reinsurance

Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The Company reinsures portions of the risk on certain insurance policies which exceed its established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. The Company remains contingently liable with respect to any insurance ceded, and this would become an actual liability in the event that the assuming insurance company became unable to meet its obligation under the reinsurance treaty.

7. Income Taxes (continued)

 

For federal income tax purposes, the Company joins in a consolidated income tax return filing with its parent and other affiliated companies. The method of allocation between the companies is subject to a written tax allocation agreement. Under the terms of the tax allocation agreement, allocations are based on separate income tax return calculations. The Company is entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the future losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company’s separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group’s income tax liability in the year generated. The Company is also entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company’s separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group’s income tax liability in any carryback or carryforward year when so applied. Intercompany income tax balances are settled within thirty days of payment to or filing with the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has a tax credit carryforward at December 31, 2009 and 2008 of $112,480 and $17,421, respectively, with no loss carryforward. At December 31, 2007, the Company had a credit carryforward of $307, with no loss carryforward.

The Company did not incur income taxes during 2009 or 2008, which will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses. The Company incurred income taxes in 2007 of $6,281, which will be available for recoupment in the event of future losses.

The amount of tax contingencies calculated for the Company as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 is $60,339 and $56,704, respectively. The total amount of tax contingencies that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate is $60,339. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income taxes as interest expense and penalty expense, respectively. The Company’s interest expense related to income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 is $5,088 and $4,111, respectively. The total interest payable balance as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 is $21,461 and $16,373, respectively. The Company recorded no liability for penalties. It is not anticipated that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service and closing agreements have been executed through 2000. The examination for the years 2001 through 2004 and 2005 through 2006 have been completed and resulted in tax return adjustments that are currently being appealed. The Company believes that there are adequate defenses against or sufficient provisions established related to any open or contested tax positions. An examination is currently underway for the years 2007 and 2008.

8. Policy and Contract Attributes

Participating life insurance policies were issued by the Company which entitle policyholders to a share in the earnings of the participating policies, provided that a dividend distribution, which is determined annually based on mortality and persistency experience of the participating policies, is authorized by the Company. Participating insurance constituted approximately 0.07% and 0.08% of ordinary life insurance in force at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, premiums for life participating policies were $21,721, $18,433 and $21,950, respectively. The Company accounts for its policyholder dividends based on dividend scales and experience of the policies. The Company paid dividends in the amount of $11,010, $12,165 and $17,417 to policyholders during 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and did not allocate any additional income to such policyholders.

A portion of the Company’s policy reserves and other policyholders’ funds (including separate account liabilities) relates to liabilities established on a variety of the Company’s annuity and deposit fund products.

8. Policy and Contract Attributes (continued)

 

Included in the liability for deposit-type contracts at December 31, 2009 and 2008 are $468,917 and $838,768, respectively, of funding agreements issued by an affiliate to special purpose entities in conjunction with non-recourse medium-term note programs. Under these programs, the proceeds from each note series issuance are used to purchase a funding agreement from an affiliated Company which secures that particular series of notes. The funding agreement is reinsured to the Company. In general, the payment terms of the note series match the payment terms of the funding agreement that secures that series. Claims for principal and interest for these funding agreements are afforded equal priority as other policyholders.

At December 31, 2009, the contractual maturities were as follows:

The Company’s liability for deposit-type contracts includes GIC’s and funding agreements assumed from MLIC. The liabilities assumed are $2,702,888 and $3,602,586 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Certain separate and variable accounts held by the Company relate to individual variable life insurance policies. The benefits provided on the policies are determined by the performance and/or fair value of the investments held in the separate account. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. The assets of these separate accounts are carried at fair value. The life insurance policies typically provide a guaranteed minimum death benefit.

Certain separate accounts held by the Company represent funds which are administered for pension plans. The assets consist primarily of fixed maturities and equity securities and are carried at fair value. The Company provides a minimum guaranteed return to policyholders of certain separate accounts. Certain other separate accounts do not have any minimum guarantees and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder.

A reclassification was made to the amounts previously reported to the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, State of Iowa in the 2007 Annual Statement, to move $84,389 from net transfers to separate accounts to reserve adjustments on reinsurance ceded within the statement of operations, which also affected the reconciliation of net transfers to or from separate accounts as reflected in the notes to financials. This reclassification had no impact on net income.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline XLIII (AG 43). AG 43 specifies statutory reserve requirements for variable annuity contracts with guarantees (VACARVM) and related products. It replaces Actuarial Guidelines 34 and 39. The AG 43 reserve calculation includes variable annuity products issued after January 1, 1981. Covered products include variable annuities with and without benefit guarantees. Examples of covered guaranteed benefits include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits, return of premium death benefits, guaranteed minimum income benefits, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits, and guaranteed payout annuity floors. The Aggregate Reserve for contracts falling within the scope of AG 43 is equal to the Conditional Tail Expectation (CTE) Amount, but not less than the Standard Scenario Amount (SSA). The Company reported an increase in reserves and a decrease in net income of $17,571 at December 31, 2009, related to the adoption of AG 43 and changes in the underlying assumptions.

To determine the CTE Amount, the Company used 1,000 of the pre-packaged scenarios developed by the American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) produced in October 2005 and prudent estimate assumptions based on Company experience. The Standard Scenario amount was determined using the assumptions and methodology prescribed in AG 43 for determining the Standard Scenario.

During 2008, for Variable Annuities with Guaranteed Living Benefits (VAGLB), which includes minimum guaranteed income, minimum guaranteed withdrawal and guaranteed premium accumulation fund benefits, the Company complies with Actuarial Guideline 39. This guideline defines a two step process for the determination of VAGLB reserves. The first step is to establish a reserve equal to the accumulated VAGLB charges for the policies in question. The second step requires a standalone asset adequacy analysis to determine the sufficiency of these reserves. This step has been satisfied by projecting 30 years into the future along 1,000 stochastic variable return paths using a variety of assumptions as to VAGLB charges, lapse, withdrawal, annuitization and death. The results of this analysis are discounted back to the valuation date and compared to the accumulation of fees reserve to determine if an additional reserve needs to be established.

During 2008, for Variable Annuities with Minimum Guaranteed Death Benefits (MGDB), the Company complies with Actuarial Guideline 34. This guideline requires that MGDBs be projected by assuming an immediate drop in the values of the assets supporting the variable annuity contract, followed by a subsequent recovery at a net assumed return until the maturity of the contract. The immediate drop percentages and gross assumed returns vary by asset class and are defined in the guideline. Mortality is based on the 1994 Variable Annuity MGDB Mortality Table, which is also defined in the guideline.

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had variable and separate account annuities with minimum guaranteed benefits as follows:

Reserves on the Company’s traditional life insurance products are computed using mean reserving methodologies. These methodologies result in the establishment of assets for the amount of the net valuation premiums that are anticipated to be received between the policy’s paid-through date to the policy’s next anniversary date. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the gross premium and loading amounts related to these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected), are as follows:

For indeterminate premium products, a full schedule of current and anticipated premium rates is developed at the point of issue. Premium rate adjustments are considered when anticipated future experience foretells deviations from the original profit standards. The source of deviation (mortality, persistency, expense, etc.) is an important consideration in the re-rating decision as well as the potential effect of a rate change on the future experience of the existing block of business.

9. Capital and Surplus

The Company is subject to limitations, imposed by the State of Iowa, on the payment of dividends to its shareholders. Generally, dividends during any twelve-month period may not be paid, without prior regulatory approval, in excess of the greater of (a) 10 percent of the Company’s statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (b) the Company’s statutory gain from operations before net realized capital gains (losses) on investments for the preceding year. Subject to the availability of unassigned surplus at the time of such dividend, the maximum payment which may be made in 2010, without the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities, is $694,096.

Prior to merging into the Company during 2009, IFLIC was partially owned by unaffiliated participating common shareholders. At December 31, 2008, IFLIC had 3,000 participating common shares authorized and 1,500 shares issued and outstanding. Participating shareholders’ surplus is segregated from unassigned surplus on the balance sheet to disclose the surplus required by mandatory participating voting common stock redemption provisions of the Company bylaws. At December 31, 2008, IFLIC had Participating shareholders’ surplus of $378. Participating common shareholders were redeemed for cash consideration of $421 during 2009 prior to the merger of IFLIC into the Company, resulting in a reduction of common stock and additional paid-in capital of $2 each and a reduction of unassigned surplus of $417.

On December 30, 2009, the Company received a capital contribution of $500,000 from its parent company.

9. Capital and Surplus (continued)

 

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain risk-based capital (RBC) requirements as specified by the NAIC.

10. Securities Lending

The Company participates in two agent-managed securities lending programs. Under the first program, the Company receives collateral equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned domestic securities, respectively, as of the transaction date. If the fair value of the collateral is at any time less than 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities, the counterparty is mandated to deliver additional collateral, the fair value of which, together with the collateral already held in connection with the lending transaction, is at least equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned government or other domestic securities, respectively. In the event the Company loans a foreign security and the denomination of the currency of the collateral is other than the denomination of the currency of the loaned foreign security, the Company receives and maintains collateral equal to 105% of the fair value of the loaned security. Cash received as collateral is reinvested and not available for general corporate purposes.

10. Securities Lending (continued)

 

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, securities in the amount of $827,408 and $1,875,768 were on loan under securities lending agreements as a part of this program. At December 31, 2009, the collateral the Company received from securities lending activities was in the form of cash and on open terms. Also at December 31, 2009, cash collateral reinvested had a fair value of $836,089. At December 31, 2009, Separate Accounts have securities in the amount of $3,199 on loan under these security lending agreements.

Under the second program, the Company received collateral equal to 102% or 105% of the fair value of the loaned securities as of the transaction date for domestic or international securities, respectively. The counterparty was mandated to deliver additional collateral if the fair value of the collateral is at any time less than 100% of the fair value of the loaned securities. This additional collateral, along with the collateral already held in connection with the lending transaction, must then be at least equal to 102% or 105% of the fair value of the loaned domestic or international securities, respectively.

The second program matured in January 2009 so the Company had no securities on loan under this program at December 31, 2009. At December 31, 2008, the Company had loaned securities with a book value of $55,475 under the second program. The fair value of the loaned securities was $56,956 as of December 31, 2008. Liabilities are recorded with respect to the cash collateral received in connection with the securities on loan when it is available for the general use of the Company. Liabilities were recorded in the amount of $54,033 and the fair value of the reinvested collateral was $58,790 as of December 31, 2008.

11. Retirement and Compensation Plans

The Company’s employees participate in a qualified defined benefit pension plan sponsored by AEGON. The Company has no legal obligation for the plan.

The Company’s allocation of expense for these plans for each of the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was negligible. AEGON also sponsors an employee stock option plan/stock appreciation rights for individuals employed and a stock purchase plan for its producers, with the participating affiliated companies establishing their own eligibility criteria, producer contribution limits and company matching formula. These plans have been accrued or funded as deemed appropriate by management of AEGON and the Company.

In addition to pension benefits, the Company participates in plans sponsored by AEGON that provide postretirement medical, dental and life insurance benefits to employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. Portions of the medical and dental plans are contributory. The expenses of the postretirement plans, calculated on the pay-as-you-go basis, are charged to affiliates in accordance with an intercompany cost sharing arrangement. The Company expensed $4,254, $1,382 and $1,204 related to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

The Company has issued synthetic GIC contracts to benefit plan sponsors on assets totaling $4,201,338 and $4,379,983 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A synthetic GIC is an off-balance sheet fee-based product sold primarily to tax qualified plans. The plan sponsor retains ownership and control of the related plan assets. The Company provides book value benefit responsiveness in the event that qualified plan benefit requests exceed plan cash flows. In certain contracts, the Company agrees to make advances to meet benefit payment needs and earns a market interest rate on these advances. The periodically adjusted contract-crediting rate is the means by which investment and benefit responsive experience is passed through to participants. In return for the book value benefit responsive guarantee, the Company receives a premium that varies based on such elements as benefit responsive exposure and contract size. The Company underwrites the plans for the possibility of having to make benefit payments and also must agree to the investment guidelines to ensure appropriate credit quality and cash flow. A contract reserve has been established for the possibility of unexpected benefit payments at below market interest rates of $3,000 and $44,753 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The Company has guaranteed that TFLIC, an affiliate, will maintain capital and surplus amounts in excess of the statutory minimum requirements of $3,000. At December 31, 2009, TFLIC had capital and surplus of $911,627. The Company has recorded no liability for this guarantee.

The Company has provided a guarantee for the performance of an affiliated noninsurance entity that was involved in guaranteed sales of investments in LIHTC partnerships. These partnerships are partially or majority owned by a noninsurance subsidiary of the Company for which a third party is the primary investor. The balance of the investor’s capital account covered by this transaction is $258,591 as of December 31, 2009. The nature of the obligation is to provide the investor with a minimum guaranteed annual and cumulative return on their contributed capital. The Company is not at risk for changes in tax law or the investor’s inability to fully utilize tax benefits. Accordingly, the Company believes the likelihood of having to make material payments under the guarantee is remote.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had entered into a credit enhancement and a standby liquidity asset purchase agreement on a municipal variable rate demand note facility with commitment amounts of $1,105 for which it was paid a fee. Earlier in the year, prior to a change in the remarketing agent, this agreement was drawn upon and repaid during 2009. The Company does not believe there will be an additional draw under this agreement. However, if there were, any such draws would be purchases of municipal bonds, which would be repaid with interest.

13. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had entered into multiple agreements with commitment amounts of $142,425 and $123,075, respectively, for which it was paid a fee to provide credit enhancement and standby liquidity asset purchase agreements on municipal variable rate demand note facilities. A draw was made under one of these liquidity facilities in January 2008 for approximately $1,900, which will be repaid in full with interest. The Company believes the chance of additional draws under these agreements is minimal. Any advances that would be made under these agreements would be repaid with interest.

The Company serves as guarantor for an affiliate’s guaranties of the principal value of loans made to entities which invest in certain investment funds. There was no notional amount associated with these guarantees as of December 31, 2009. The investment funds’ assets are restricted based on established investment guidelines and are required, upon a decline in value below a formula based threshold, to either replace the assets with fixed income instruments or sell assets and pay down the loan in order to minimize the guarantor’s principal protection liability. There are no expected payments associated with these guarantees.

The Company has also provided a guarantee for the obligations of noninsurance affiliates who have accepted assignments of structured settlement payment obligations from other insurers and purchase structured settlement insurance policies from subsidiaries of the Company that match those obligations. There are no expected payments associated with this guarantee.

The Company is a party to legal proceedings involving a variety of issues incidental to its business, including class actions. Lawsuits may be brought in nearly any federal or state court in the United States or in an arbitral forum. In addition, there continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies. The Company’s legal proceedings are subject to many variables, and given its complexity and scope, outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. Although legal proceedings sometimes include substantial demands for compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief, it is management’s opinion that damages arising from such demands will not be material to the Company’s financial position.

13. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance companies for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of insolvency of other insurance companies. Assessments are charged to operations when received by the Company, except where right of offset against other taxes paid is allowed by law. Amounts available for future offsets are recorded as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet. The future obligation for known insolvencies has been accrued based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. Potential future obligations for unknown insolvencies are not determinable by the Company and are not required to be accrued for financial reporting purposes. The Company has established a reserve of $34,814 and $28,404 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies. The guaranty fund expense was $460, $1,720 and $1,645, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

17. Subsequent Events

The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occurred between the balance sheet date and the date when the financial statements are available to be issued, April 19, 2010, provided they give evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date (Type I). Events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the balance sheet date are disclosed, but do not result in an adjustment of the financial statements themselves (Type II).

The Company has a direct investment in and an indirect exposure to Ambac Financial Group (Ambac) as of the balance sheet date. Subsequent to year end, the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Wisconsin (OCI) filed a petition in state court to rehabilitate the Segregated Account of Ambac Assurance Corporation (AAC), a subsidiary of Ambac, which was established upon request from OCI in order to segregate certain policies and other liabilities of AAC as there were significant existing claims or likelihood of significant claims. OCI received court approval to temporarily prevent AAC from paying out claims on the guarantees or wraps that they have issued for those securities included in the segregated account. The Company has indirect exposure to Ambac whereby the Company is reliant upon AAC’s guarantee or wrap to support the lack of impairment on securities with a carrying value of $33,885. Additionally, the Company has a direct investment in debt securities of Ambac with a carrying value of $2,046. As a significant portion of the indirect exposure and all of the direct exposure to Ambac is carried at the lower of cost or market in the Company’s 2009 financial statements, there would be no additional impact to the Company’s surplus as a result of this information.

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the subaccounts of Transamerica Life Insurance Company Separate Account VA C (the Separate Account) (comprised of the Transamerica Asset Allocation – Growth VP, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Conservative VP, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate VP, Transamerica Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth VP, Transamerica American Century Large Company Value VP, Transamerica MFS International Equity VP, Transamerica Clarion Global Real Estate Securities VP, Transamerica Small/Mid Cap Value VP, Transamerica Science & Technology VP, Transamerica Balanced VP, Transamerica Templeton Global VP, Transamerica Jennison Growth VP, Transamerica JPMorgan Enhanced Index VP, Transamerica Marsico Growth VP, Transamerica AEGON High Yield Bond VP, Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP, Transamercia PIMCO Total Return VP, Transamerica Focus VP, Transamerica Convertible Securities VP, Transamerica Equity VP, Transamerica Growth Opportunities VP, Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP, Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP PAM SC, Transamerica Money Market VP, Transamerica T.

Rowe Price Small Cap VP, Transamerica Van Kampen Active International Allocation VP, Transamerica Van Kampen Large Cap Core VP, Transamerica Van Kampen Mid-Cap Growth VP, Transamerica International Moderate Growth VP SC, Transamerica Efficient Markets VP SC, Transamerica Value Balanced VP SC, Transamerica Index 50 VP SC, Transamerica Index 75 VP SC, Transamerica BlackRock Global Allocation VP SC, Transamerica BlackRock Tactical Allocation VP SC, Transamerica ProFunds UltraBear Fund VP OAM SC, Transamerica Foxhall Global Growth VP SC, Transamerica Foxhall Global Conservative VP SC, Transamerica Foxhall Global Hard Asset VP SC, Transamerica Foxhall Emerging Markets/Pacific Rim VP SC, Transamerica Hanlon Growth VP SC, Transamerica Hanlon Growth and Income VP SC, Transamerica Hanlon Balanced VP SC, Transamerica Hanlon Managed Income VP SC, Transamerica Index 35 VP SC, Transamerica Index 100 VP SC, Transamerica JP Morgan Midcap Value VP SC, AIM V.I.

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 conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2009 by correspondence with the mutual funds’ transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective subaccounts comprising Transamerica Life Insurance Company Separate Account VA C, at December 31, 2009, and the results of their operations for the year then ended and changes in their net assets for the periods indicated thereon, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Transamerica Life Insurance Company Separate Account VA C (the Mutual Fund Account or the Company) is a segregated investment account of Transamerica Life Insurance Company (Transamerica Life), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.

The Mutual Fund Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Unit Investment Trust pursuant to provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Mutual Fund Account consists of multiple investment subaccounts. Each subaccount invests exclusively in the corresponding Portfolio (the Portfolio) of a Series Fund (each a Series Fund and collectively the Series Funds). Each Series Fund is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Activity in all but one of these specified investment subaccounts is available to contract owners of the Mutual Fund Account. The Transamerica U.S. Government Securities-Portfolio Asset Manager-Service Class subaccount (“PAM”) (formerly known as Transamerica U.S. Government Securities-Safe Fund-Service Class) was added on to the Series Fund portfolio solely to facilitate a contract owner purchase option. If this option is elected, assets are automatically allocated from the contract owner’s other subaccounts into the “PAM” when the policy value has dropped relative to the guaranteed amount.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Investments

Net purchase payments received by the Mutual Fund Account are invested in the portfolios of the Series Funds as selected by the contract owner. Investments are stated at the closing net asset values per share on December 31, 2009.

Realized capital gains and losses from sales of shares in the Series Funds are determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Unrealized gains or losses from investments in the Series Funds are included in the Statements of Operations.

Dividend Income

Dividends received from the Series Funds’ investments are reinvested to purchase additional mutual fund shares.

Accounting Policy

On July 1, 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC or the Codification) was launched as the single source of authoritative nongovernmental accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). Guidance in the Codification is organized by Topic, each representing a collection of related guidance (e.g., Financial Services—Insurance). Topics are further subdivided into Subtopics (e.g., Insurance Activities), and Sections (e.g., Recognition, Measurement, or Disclosure). All guidance contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. The Mutual Fund Account adopted guidance that establishes the Codification as the source of authoritative GAAP for the period ended September 30, 2009. The adoption required updates to the Mutual Fund Account’s financial statement disclosures, but did not impact the results of operations or financial position. This guidance was formerly known as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events, which establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption did not impact the Mutual Fund Account’s financial statements. Management has evaluated the financial statements for subsequent events through the date which the financial statements are issued. This guidance was formerly known as SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events.

Effective January 1, 2008, the Mutual Fund Account adopted ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Mutual Fund Account’s financial statements. This guidance was formerly known as SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. See Note 8 to the financial statements for additional disclosure.

The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for variable annuity separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

* These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying Series Fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying Series Fund in which the subaccounts invest. These ratios are annualized for periods less than one year.
** These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Mutual Fund Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges. The expense ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Series Fund are excluded. These charges range from .25% to .75% of the average contract owner’s account value depending on the options selected. Refer to the product’s prospectus for specific details. Expense ratios for periods of less than one year have been annualized.

5. Administrative, Mortality, and Expense Risk Charge

Administrative charges include an annual charge of the lesser of 2% of the policy value or $35 per contract which will commence on the first policy anniversary of each contract owner’s account. Charges for administrative fees to the variable annuity contracts are an expense of the Mutual Fund Account. Transamerica Life also deducts a daily charge equal to an annual rate of .15% of the contract owner’s account for administrative expenses.

An annual charge is deducted from the unit values of the subaccounts of the Mutual Fund Account for Transamerica Life’s assumption of certain mortality and expense risks incurred in connection with the contract. The charge is assessed daily based on the net asset value of the account and ranges from 1.40% to 2.15%, depending on the death benefit selected. Contract owners should see their actual policy and any related attachments to determine their specific charges.

In addition to M&E, the following subaccounts are assessed a daily charge for fund facilitation fees:

6. Income Taxes

Operations of the Mutual Fund Account form a part of Transamerica Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The operations of the Mutual Fund Account are accounted for separately from other operations of Transamerica Life for purposes of federal income taxation. The Mutual Fund Account is not separately taxable as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is not otherwise taxable as an entity separate from Transamerica Life. Under existing federal income tax laws, the income of the Mutual Fund Account is not taxable to Transamerica Life, as long as earnings are credited under the variable annuity contracts.

7. Dividend Distributions

Dividends are not declared by the Mutual Fund Account, since the increase in the value of the underlying investment in the Series Funds is reflected daily in the accumulation unit price used to calculate the equity value within the Mutual Fund Account. Consequently, a dividend distribution by the underlying Series Funds does not change either the accumulation unit price or equity values within the Mutual Fund Account.

8. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Hierarchy

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

The Company has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy which is based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are categorized as follows:

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

Level 2. Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

  a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

 

  b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets

 

  c) Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable

 

  d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

Level 3. Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

All investments in Mutual Funds included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are stated at fair value and are based upon daily unadjusted quoted prices, therefore are considered Level 1.

Item 27.    Number of Contract Owners

As of March 31, 2010, there were 16,874 Contract owners.

Item 28.    Indemnification

The Iowa Code (Sections 490.850 et. seq.) provides for permissive indemnification in certain situations, mandatory indemnification in other situations, and prohibits indemnification in certain situations. The Code also specifies producers for determining when indemnification payments can be made.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Depositor pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Depositor has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered), the Depositor will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
