Portfolio Merger

Effective at the close of business on November 20, 2009, the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value Variable Portfolio will be merged with the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value Variable Portfolio. As a result, the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account will not be available after that date.
 
This letter addresses issues regarding this portfolio merger and the possible effects on your policy. If you either have policy value allocated to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account, or you utilize that sub-account in your premium allocation elections, your monthly deduction allocations, or your Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Account Rebalancing elections, this merger will affect you.
 
Two dates are particularly important for you.
 

October 30, 2009: This is the last date on which you may allocate net premiums to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account. It is also the last date on which you may transfer policy values into this sub-account.
 

November 20, 2009: If we have not received written instructions from you by this date to transfer the portion of your policy value in the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account to another investment option under your policy, your policy value in the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value sub-account will automatically be transferred into the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account.
 

Issues Regarding this Merger and the Possible Effects on your Policy

You may wish to refer to your most recent statement and/or confirmation to see the investment options in which you have policy value, as well as your current premium and monthly deduction allocation elections. If you do not have any policy value in the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account and do not intend to allocate additional net premiums or transfer existing policy value to that sub-account, then the merger will not affect you. However, if you have policy value allocated to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account, or you utilize that sub-account in your premium allocation elections, your monthly deduction allocations, or your Dollar Cost Averaging or Automatic Account Rebalancing elections, then the liquidation will affect you and the following dates are particularly important for you.

October 30, 2009: This is the last date on which you may allocate new net premiums to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account. It is also the last date on which you may transfer policy values into this sub-account.
 

November 19, 2009: This is the last date that you can provide us with instructions on how to transfer your policy value out of the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account and into any other investment option(s) under your Policy. Transfers are made effective on the date we receive your transfer instructions in good order.
 

November 20, 2009: Any policy value remaining in the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account will automatically be transferred into the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account as of the close of business on November 20, 2009.
 
In addition, in anticipation of the merger of the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP into the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account, we are reminding you of your right to transfer your policy value among the sub-accounts and any fixed account option available under your Policy. The investment options available under your Policy represent a wide variety of investment objectives and strategies, and are advised by a range of money managers. The prospectus for your Policy includes a section that describes those investment options. More detailed information about the investment options available under your Policy can be found in the current prospectuses for those investment options. You should read those prospectuses carefully and carefully consider the investment objectives, charges, expenses and risks of any investment option to which you allocate net premium or transfer or allocate policy value.
 

More detailed information about possible effects of the portfolio merger on your policy and certain types of transactions and procedures that we have developed to ensure the timely transfer of any policy value that you have in the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account, are provided below in the form of questions and answers.

How does the merger affect my premium allocations and my transfer privileges?

The last date on which net premiums may be allocated to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account is October 30, 2009. That is also the last date on which you may transfer policy values into this sub-account.

Premium Allocations. If your premium allocation election in effect prior to October 30, 2009 includes the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account, you should submit a new election that does not include this sub-account. If we receive your new election on or before October 30, 2009, net premiums received on or after the date of receipt of your new election will be allocated in accordance with the new election. You can submit a new election in writing or by calling us at the toll free telephone number for your Policy listed below, so long as the telephone access privilege is in effect on your policy.
 
If your premium allocation election in effect on October 30, 2009 includes the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account and we do not receive a new election form in good order from you on that date, the portion of net premiums you had previously allocated to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account will instead be allocated to the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account. Of course, you may submit a new premium allocation election form at any time for future premiums.
 

Transfer Requests. If we receive a transfer request after October 30, 2009 that specifies a transfer into the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account, we will not consider the request to be in good order. We will not process the request and we will contact you. We will require a new request in good order before we can process the transfer request. We will follow these rules for specific transfer requests made in writing or by telephone.
 

DCA and AAR. If you had previously elected to have transfers made to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account under a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) Option election or under an Automatic Account Rebalancing (AAR) Option election, unless you submit a new DCA Option election or a new AAR Option election by October 30, 2009, then any transfers after that date to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account under a DCA Option election or under an AAR Option election will instead go into the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account. New election requests for the DCA or AAR options may be submitted by telephone if the telephone access privilege is in effect for your policy, and those new elections will be effective with the next scheduled transfer on or after the date we receive your new election in good order. Any new AAR or DCA option elections received by us after October 30, 2009 that specify transfers into the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account will not be considered in good order and will not be processed. We will contact you and will require a new request from you before we will process the transfer request.
 

Involuntary Transfer into the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP Sub-Account. If we transfer your policy value in the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account into the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account on November 20, 2009, then you may transfer such policy value from the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account to any of the other available sub-accounts or to any fixed account option available under your Policy.
 

No Transfer Fees. There will be no charge if you transfer your policy value out of the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account in response to this supplement or if, on November 20, 2009, we transfer your policy value from the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account to the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account. In addition, if we transfer your policy value to the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account in connection with the merger, then there will be no charge if you thereafter transfer such policy value from the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account to another sub-account or any fixed account options available under your Policy within 60 calendar days from the date of the involuntary transfer to the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account.

 

What effect will this merger have on my Monthly Deductions Allocation Election?

If your monthly deductions allocation election in effect prior to November 20, 2009 includes the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account, you should submit a new election that does not include this sub-account. If we receive your new election prior to November 20, 2009, monthly deductions taken on or after the date of receipt of your new election will be deducted from sub-accounts in accordance with the new election. The election can be made in writing or by calling us at the toll free telephone number for your Policy listed below, if the telephone access privilege is in effect on your policy.

If your monthly deductions allocation election in effect on November 20, 2009 includes the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account and we do not receive a new election form from you on or before that date, then beginning with monthly deductions taken on November 20, 2009, the portion you had previously requested be deducted from the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account will instead be deducted from the Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP sub-account. Of course, you may submit a new election form at any time for future monthly deductions allocations.
 

What effect will this merger have on a request for loans or withdrawals?

If your loan or withdrawal request is received in good order and includes specific allocation of amounts to the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account, then we will honor the request (subject to all policy provisions) so long as it is received prior to November 20, 2009. After that date, any loan or withdrawal request received that directs that the amount of the loan or withdrawal be deducted, in whole or in part, from the Transamerica Capital Guardian Value VP sub-account will be treated as not in good order. We will contact you and will require a new request before we process the loan or withdrawal.
 

Will this merger affect any policy loan repayments I make?

Loan repayments are processed in accordance with the current premium allocation election in effect for your policy on the date of the loan repayment. Please see the discussion, above, about premium allocation elections.
