SUMMARY

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

 

1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

The WRL Freedom Conqueror is a flexible payment variable deferred annuity contract (the “Contract”) offered by Western Reserve. It is a contract between you, as the owner, and Western Reserve, a life insurance company. The Contract provides a way for you to invest on a tax-deferred basis in the subaccounts of the separate account and the fixed account. We intend the Contract to be used to accumulate money for retirement or other long-term investment purposes.

The Contract allows you to direct your money into one or more of the subaccounts. Any restriction we impose on allocations of purchase payments or transfers of annuity value will not affect the allocations you made before we put the restriction in place. Each subaccount invests exclusively in a single portfolio of a fund. The money you invest in the subaccounts will fluctuate daily based on the portfolio's investment results. The value of your investment in the subaccounts is not guaranteed and may increase or decrease. You bear the investment risk for amounts you invest in the subaccounts.

You can also direct money to the fixed account. Amounts in the fixed account earn interest annually at a fixed rate that is guaranteed by us never to be less than 4%, and may be more. We guarantee the interest, as well as principal, on money placed in the fixed account. The fixed account is not available in all states.

You can transfer money between any of the investment choices during the accumulation period, subject to certain limits on transfers from the fixed account.

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider is no longer available for new sales, but if you have previously elected the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider you can still upgrade. See Appendix C.

The Additional Earnings Rider is no longer available for new sales. See Appendix D.

The Contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases: the “accumulation period” and the “income phase.” During the accumulation period, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as ordinary income when you take them out of the Contract. The income phase starts on the maturity date when you begin receiving regular payments from your Contract. The money you can accumulate during the accumulation period, as well as the annuity payment option you choose, will largely determine the amount of any income payments you receive during the income phase.

 

2. ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

The Contract allows you to receive income after the maturity date under one of several annuity payment options. You may choose from fixed payment options or variable payment options. If you select a variable payment option, the dollar amount of the payments you receive may go up or down depending on the investment results of the portfolios you invest in at that time. Generally, you cannot annuitize before your Contract’s fifth anniversary.

 

3. PURCHASE

You can buy this Contract with $5,000 ($1,000 for traditional or Roth IRAs and $50 for other qualified contracts) or more under most circumstances. You can add as little as $50 at any time during the accumulation period. We allow purchase payments up to a total of $1,000,000 per Contract year without prior approval. There is no limit on the total purchase payments you may make during the accumulation period.

Table of Contents
4. 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 period. We currently charge a $10 fee for each transfer in excess of 12 transfers per Contract year. In addition, we reserve the right to impose restrictions and limitations on transfers.

 

5. EXPENSES

We do not take any deductions for sales charges from purchase payments at the time you buy the Contract. You generally invest the full amount of each purchase payment in one or more of the investment choices.

During the accumulation period and the income phase (if you elect a variable annuity payment option), we deduct a daily mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% and a daily administrative charge of 0.15% annually from the money you have invested in the subaccounts.

During the accumulation period, we deduct an annual Contract charge of $35 from the annuity value on each Contract anniversary and at the time of surrender.

We impose a $10 charge per transfer if you make more than 12 transfers among the subaccounts per Contract year. There is no charge for transfers from the fixed account. We do not currently charge for Internet transfers, although we reserve the right to do so in the future.

If you take a Contract loan, we will impose a $30 loan processing fee. Only certain types of qualified Contracts can take Contract loans. This fee is not applicable in all states.

We may deduct state premium taxes, which currently range from 0% to 3.50%, when you make your purchase payment(s), if you surrender the Contract or partially withdraw its value, if we pay out death benefit proceeds, or if you begin to receive regular annuity payments. We only charge you premium taxes in those states that require us to pay premium taxes.

If you make a partial withdrawal or surrender your Contract completely, we will deduct a withdrawal charge for purchase payments withdrawn within seven years after we receive a purchase payment. This charge is 8% of the amount withdrawn if the partial withdrawal occurs within the first year of our receipt of the purchase payment, and then declines gradually to 7% in the second year, 6% in the third year, 5% in the fourth year, 4% in the fifth year, 3% in the sixth year, and 2% in the seventh year.

When we calculate withdrawal charges, we treat partial withdrawals as coming first from the oldest purchase payment, then the next oldest and so forth. For the first partial withdrawal you make in any Contract year, we will waive that portion of the withdrawal charge that is based on the first 10% of your Contract's annuity value at the time of the partial withdrawal. Amounts of the first partial withdrawal in excess of the first 10% of your Contract's annuity value and all subsequent partial withdrawals you make during the Contract year will be subject to a withdrawal charge. We will deduct the full withdrawal charge if you surrender your Contract completely. The 10% “waiver” does not apply to a complete surrender. We waive this charge under certain circumstances. See Section 5. Expenses – Withdrawal Charge for how we calculate withdrawal charges and waivers.

We will deduct the full withdrawal charge from the death benefit if the annuitant dies and the death benefit payable is the Contract's cash value.

Table of Contents

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 Contract Fee Table” section of this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios for more information.

See Section 10. Other Information - Distribution of the Contracts for information concerning compensation we pay our agents for the sale of the Contracts.

 

6. TAXES

The Contract's earnings are generally not taxed until you take them out. For federal tax purposes, if you take money out of a nonqualified Contract during the accumulation period, earnings come out first and are taxed as ordinary income. The annuity payments you receive 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 until the “investment in the contract” has been fully recovered. Different tax consequences may apply for a Contract used in connection with a qualified Contract. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out of a Contract, you may be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the amount you must report as taxable income.

Death benefits are taxable and generally are included in the income of the recipient as follows: if received under an annuity payment option, death benefits are taxed in the same manner as annuity payouts; if not received under an annuity option (for instance, if paid out in a lump sum), death benefits are taxed in the same manner as a partial withdrawal or complete surrender.

 

7. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

You can take some or all of your money out anytime during the accumulation period. However, you may not take a partial withdrawal if it reduces the cash value below $5,000. No partial withdrawals may be made from the fixed account without prior consent from us. Access to amounts held in qualified Contracts may be restricted or prohibited by law or regulation or the terms of the plan. Other restrictions and withdrawal charges may apply. You may also have to pay federal income tax and a penalty tax on any money you take out.

Partial withdrawals will reduce your cash value. Depending on its amount and timing, a withdrawal may considerably reduce or eliminate some of the benefits and guarantees provided by your Contract. For example, partial withdrawals may reduce the death benefit by more than the amount withdrawn.

You should carefully consider whether a withdrawal under a particular circumstance will have a negative impact to your benefits or guarantees. The impact of withdrawals (generally) on your benefits and guarantees is discussed in the corresponding sections of the prospectus describing such benefits and guarantees.

 

8. PERFORMANCE

The value of your Contract will vary up or down depending upon the investment performance of the subaccounts you choose and will be reduced by Contract fees and charges. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

 

9. DEATH BENEFIT

If you are both an owner and the annuitant and you die before the maturity date, your beneficiary will receive the death benefit proceeds. If your sole beneficiary is your surviving spouse (and you are the owner/annuitant), then your surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract. If your surviving spouse elects continuation, we will adjust the annuity value as of the death report day to equal the death benefit proceeds on the death report day, if greater. Death benefit provisions may vary by state.

If you are named only as an owner, and you die before the annuitant and before the maturity date, and if your surviving spouse is the successor owner, then the Contract continues. However, the annuity value is not increased to equal the death benefit proceeds.

 

9


Table of Contents

If you name different persons as owner and annuitant, you can affect whether the death benefit proceeds are payable and who will receive them. Use care when naming owners, annuitants, successor owners and beneficiaries, and consult your agent if you have questions.

Payments upon death are subject to certain distribution requirements under the Code. See the SAI for more details.

If the annuitant who is an owner dies before the maturity date and before the eighth Contract anniversary, and if a death benefit is payable, the death benefit proceeds will be the greater of:

 

 

the cash value of your Contract on the death report day; or

 

 

the total purchase payments you make to the Contract, reduced by partial withdrawals, credited with 5% on each Contract anniversary (until the annuitant turns age 80), up to a maximum of 200% of total purchase payments minus any partial withdrawals. (Please note that the 5% credit is not available in all states.)

If the annuitant who is an owner dies before the maturity date and on or after the seventh Contract anniversary, and if a death benefit is payable, the death benefit proceeds will be the greatest of:

 

 

the death benefit proceeds described above;

 

 

the cash value of your Contract on the seventh Contract anniversary, reduced by any partial withdrawals after the seventh Contract year;

 

 

if your Contract was issued before May 1, 2000, the highest annuity value as of any Contract anniversary occurring between (a) the later of May 1, 2000 and the seventh Contract anniversary and (b) the earlier of:

 

   

the annuitant’s date of death; or

 

   

the Contract anniversary nearest the annuitant’s 80th birthday. This benefit terminates at age 80.

 

 

if your Contract was issued on or after May 1, 2000, the highest annuity value as of any Contract anniversary occurring between the seventh Contract anniversary and the earlier of:

 

   

the annuitant’s date of death; or

 

   

the Contract anniversary nearest the annuitant’s 80th birthday. This benefit terminates at age 80.

The highest annuity value will be increased by purchase payments made, and decreased by adjusted partial withdrawals taken, since the Contract anniversary with the highest annuity value.

The death benefit payable, if any, on or after the maturity date depends on the annuity payment option selected. See Section 2. Annuity Payments (The Income Phase) - Fixed Annuity Payment Options and Variable Annuity Payment Options for a description of the annuity payment options. Not all payment options provide for the payment of a death benefit.

We deduct the full withdrawal charge from the death benefit if the annuitant dies and the death benefit payable is the Contract’s cash value. We will waive withdrawal charges if the beneficiary elects to apply the death benefit to a new variable annuity contract issued by Western Reserve.

 

10. OTHER INFORMATION

Right to Cancel Period. You may return your Contract for a refund within 10 days after you receive it (or longer if required by state law). In most states, the amount of the refund will be the total purchase payments we have received, plus (or minus) any gains (or losses) in the amounts you invested in the subaccounts. You will keep any gains, and bear any losses, on amounts that you invested in the subaccounts. If state law requires, we will refund your original purchase payment(s). We determine the value of the refund as of the date we receive your written notice of cancellation and the returned Contract at our Administrative and Service Office in good order. We will pay the refund within 7 days after we receive your original signature written notice of cancellation and the returned Contract. A faxed version or a copy of the written notice of cancellation will not be sufficient for us to pay a refund. The Contract will then be deemed void.

Who Should Purchase the Contract? We have designed this Contract for people seeking long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets, generally for retirement. This includes 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. You should not buy this Contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or if

Table of Contents

you cannot take the risk of getting back less money than you put in. If you are purchasing the Contract through a tax-favored arrangement, including traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs, you should consider carefully the costs and benefits of the Contract (including annuity income benefits) before purchasing the Contract, because the tax-favored arrangement itself provides tax-sheltered growth.

Additional Features. This Contract has additional features that might interest you. These include the following:

 

 

Reduced Minimum Initial Purchase Payment (for nonqualified Contracts): You may make a minimum initial purchase payment of $1,000, rather than $5,000, if you indicate on your application that you anticipate making minimum monthly payments of at least $100 by electronic funds transfer.

 

 

Systematic Partial Withdrawals: You can arrange to have money automatically sent to you while your Contract is in the accumulation period. You may take systematic partial withdrawals monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually without paying withdrawal charges. Amounts you receive may be included in your gross income and, in certain circumstances, may be subject to penalty taxes.

 

 

Dollar Cost Averaging: You can arrange to have a certain amount of money automatically transferred monthly from one or any combination of the fixed account, the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount or TA JPMorgan Core Bond subaccount into your choice of subaccounts. Dollar cost averaging does not guarantee a profit and does not protect against a loss if market prices decline.

 

 

Asset Rebalancing: We will, upon your request, automatically transfer amounts periodically among the subaccounts on a regular basis to maintain a desired allocation of the annuity value among the various subaccounts.

 

 

Telephone, Fax and Internet Transactions: You may make transfers, partial withdrawals, and/or change the allocation of additional purchase payments by telephone or fax. You may also make transfers and change premium payment allocations involving subaccounts through our website – www.westernreserve.com. Internet transactions are not available for transfers and changes in premium payment allocation involving the fixed account. Transfer orders made in writing, by telephone, by facsimile, or via the Internet must be received before the close of our business day, which is the same as when the NYSE closes, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Transfer orders received in good order at our Administrative and Service Office before the NYSE closes are priced using the subaccount accumulation unit value determined at the close of that regular business session of the NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). If we receive a transfer order at our Administrative and Service Office after the NYSE closes for normal trading, we will process the order using the subaccount accumulation unit value determined at the close of the next regular business session of the NYSE.

 

 

Nursing Care Facility Waiver: If you are confined to a nursing care facility, you may take partial withdrawals or surrender your Contract completely without paying the withdrawal charge, under certain circumstances.

 

 

Contract Loans (for certain qualified Contracts): If you own a qualified Contract, you may be eligible to take out Contract loans during the accumulation period, subject to certain restrictions. Penalties may apply if you fail to comply with required restrictions. See Section 7. Access to Your Money - Contract Loans for Certain Qualified Contracts for details.

 

 

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Features:

 

   

Additional Benefits with Spousal Continuation: If an owner who is the annuitant dies before the maturity date, and if the surviving spouse of the deceased owner is the sole beneficiary, then the surviving spouse may continue the Contract as sole owner and annuitant. We will pay a death benefit on the death of the surviving spouse and revise the way we calculate the death benefit so that it is based on the age of the surviving spouse. If the surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary and elects to continue the Contract, we will adjust the annuity value as of the death report day to equal the death benefit proceeds as of the death report day, if greater.

 

   

Additional Death Benefit on Beneficiary's Death: If an owner who is the annuitant dies before the maturity date, and the deceased owner's spouse is not named as the sole beneficiary who elects to continue the Contract, then each beneficiary can elect to keep the Contract in the accumulation period (with some restrictions) and to receive his or her portion of the death benefit proceeds over a period not to exceed that beneficiary's life expectancy (the "distribution period''). We will pay a death benefit under the Contract if the beneficiary dies during the distribution period and permit such beneficiary to name a new beneficiary. We will revise the way we calculate that death benefit so that it is based on the age of such beneficiary.

 

 

Multiple Beneficiaries: If an owner who is the annuitant dies before the maturity date, and the deceased owner has named multiple beneficiaries, each beneficiary may choose individually how he or she wants to receive his/her portion of the death benefit proceeds.

Please remember that the Example is an illustration and does not represent past or future expenses. Your actual expenses may be higher or lower than those shown. 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 Contracts, see “Distribution of the Contracts.”

 

(1) The Fee Table applies only to the accumulation period. During the income phase, the fees may be different than those described in the fee table. See Section 5, Expenses.

 

(2) We will deduct from any payment for a partial or complete surrender the charge for any extraordinary expenses we incur for expediting delivery of the payment of your partial or complete surrender – such as for wire transfers or overnight mail expenses. We charge $25 for a wire transfer and $20 for an overnight delivery.

 

(3) The withdrawal charge decreases based on the number of years since each purchase payment was made, from 8% in the year in which the purchase payment was made to 0% in the eighth year after the purchase payment was made. To calculate withdrawal charges, the first purchase payment made is considered to come out first. This charge is waived under certain circumstances.

 

(4) We may reduce or waive the withdrawal charge and the annual Contract charge for Contracts sold to groups of employees with the same employer, including our directors, officers and full-time employees, or other groups where sales to the group reduce our administrative expenses.

 

(5) There are no charges for transfers from the fixed account, however, they will be counted toward the 12 free transfers allowed per Contract year. We do not currently charge for Internet transfers, although we reserve the right to do so in the future.

 

(6) Loans are available only for certain qualified Contracts. The loan processing fee is not applicable in all states.

 

(7) These charges apply to each subaccount. They do not apply to the fixed account. These charges apply during the accumulation period; they also apply during the income phase if you elect variable annuity income payments.

 

(8) This rider is no longer available. The annual rider charge is a percentage of the minimum annuitization value. If you choose to upgrade the rider, the charge for the rider after the upgrade is currently 0.35%, but, we reserve the right to increase the rider charge after upgrade to 0.50%. Once the rider is issued, the rider charge will not change. Keep in mind that the current rider charge (0.35%) may be higher if you upgrade the rider at a later date because we may increase the rider charge after upgrade up to the maximum (0.50%). We deduct the rider charge from the fixed account and from each subaccount in proportion to the amount of the annuity value in each account. If the annuity value on any rider anniversary exceeds the rider charge threshold (guaranteed 2.0) times the minimum annuitization value, we will waive the rider charge otherwise payable on that rider anniversary. If you later choose to annuitize under a variable annuity payment option of this rider, we will impose a guaranteed minimum payment fee equal to an annual rate of 1.10% of the daily net asset values in the subaccounts. This charge is assessed in addition to the mortality and expense risk charge of 1.40% annually that is set on the date you annuitize under the rider. We may change the guaranteed minimum payment fee in the future if you choose to upgrade the minimum annuitization value, or for future issues of the rider, but it will never be greater than 2.10%. See Appendix C.

 

(9) This rider is no longer available. The annual rider charge is a percentage of your Contract's annuity value. The charge will not increase once the rider has been issued. We deduct the rider charge from the fixed account and from each subaccount in proportion to the amount of the annuity value in each account. We do not assess this charge during the income phase. See Appendix D.

The portfolio expenses used to prepare this table were provided to Western Reserve by the fund(s), their investment advisors or managers. Western Reserve cannot independently verify the accuracy or

Table of Contents
  completeness of such information. The expenses shown are those incurred for the year ended December 31, 2011. Current or future expenses may be greater or less than those shown. “Gross” expense figures do not reflect any fee waivers or expense reimbursements. Actual expenses may have been lower than those shown in the Table.

 

(11) The table showing the range of expenses for the portfolios takes into account the expenses of several asset allocation portfolios that are “fund of funds.” A “fund of funds” portfolio typically allocates its assets, within predetermined percentage ranges, among certain other portfolios of the TST fund. Each “fund of funds” has its own set of operating expenses, as does each of the portfolios in which it invests. In determining the range of portfolio expenses, Western Reserve took into account the information received from the TST fund on the combined actual expenses for each of the “fund of funds” and for the portfolios in which it invests, assuming a constant allocation by each “fund of funds” of its assets among the portfolios identical to its actual allocation at December 31, 2011.

 

(12) The Example does not reflect transfer fees or premium taxes (which may range up to 3.5%, depending on the jurisdiction). The annual Contract charge of $35 is reflected as an annual charge of 0.07% that is determined by dividing the total Contract charges collected during 2011 by total average net assets attributable to the Contract during 2011. Different fees and expenses not reflected in the Example may be assessed after you annuitize under a variable annuity payout option.

1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

This prospectus describes the WRL Freedom Conqueror variable annuity contract offered by Western Reserve.

An annuity is a contract between you, the owner, and an insurance company (in this case Western Reserve), where the insurance company promises to pay the annuitant an income in the form of annuity payments. These payments begin after the maturity date. (See Section 2 below.) Until the maturity date, your annuity is in the accumulation period and the earnings generally are tax deferred. Tax deferral means you generally are not taxed on your annuity until you take money out of your annuity. After the maturity date, your annuity switches to the income phase.

The Contract is a flexible payment variable deferred annuity. You can use the Contract to accumulate funds for retirement or other long-term financial planning purposes.

It is a “flexible payment” Contract because after you purchase it, you can generally make additional investments of $50 or more at any time, until the maturity date. But you are not required to make any additional investments.

The Contract is a “variable” annuity because the value of your Contract can go up or down based on the performance of your investment choices. If you select the variable investment portion of the Contract, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your Contract during the accumulation period depends upon the performance of your investment choices. If you elect to receive variable annuity payments during the income phase of your Contract, the amount of your annuity payments will also depend upon the performance of your investment choices for the income phase.

The Contract also contains a fixed account. The fixed account offers an interest rate that is guaranteed by Western Reserve to equal at least 4% per year. There may be different interest rates for each payment or transfer you direct to the fixed account which are equal to or greater than the guaranteed rate. The interest rates we set will be credited for periods of at least one year measured from each payment or transfer date.

The fixed account is not available in all states. If your Contract was issued in New Jersey or Washington, you may not direct or transfer any money to the fixed account.

Do not purchase this policy if you plan to use it, or any of its riders, for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme. Your policy is not intended or designed to be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market. By purchasing this policy, you represent and warrant that you are not using the policy, or any of its riders for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme.

 

2. ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

You choose the date when annuity payments start under the Contract. This is the maturity date. You can change this date by giving us 30 days written notice. The maturity date cannot be earlier than the end of the fifth Contract year. The maturity date cannot be later than the annuitant’s 90th birthday. The maturity date may be earlier for qualified Contracts.

Election of Annuity Payment Option. Before the maturity date, if the annuitant is alive, you may choose an annuity payment option or change your option. If you do not choose an annuity option by the maturity date, we will make payments under Option D (see below) as a Variable Life Income with 10 years of guaranteed payments. You cannot change the annuity payment option after the maturity date.

If you choose a variable payment option, you must specify how you want the annuity proceeds divided among the subaccounts as of the maturity date. If you do not specify, we will allocate the annuity proceeds in the same proportion as the annuity value is allocated among the investment options on the maturity date. After the maturity date, you may make transfers among the subaccounts, but you may not make transfers from or to the fixed account; we may limit subaccount transfers to one per Contract year.

 

16


Table of Contents

Unless you specify otherwise, the annuitant named on the application will receive the annuity payments. As of the maturity date and so long as we agree, you may elect a different annuitant or add a joint annuitant who will be a joint payee under a joint and survivor life income payment option. If you do not choose an annuitant, we will consider you to be the annuitant.

Supplemental Contract. Once you annuitize and if you have selected a fixed annuity payment option, the Contract will end and we will issue a supplemental Contract to describe the terms of the option you selected. The supplemental Contract will name who will receive the annuity payments and describe when the annuity payments will be made.

Annuity Payment Options Under the Contract

The Contract provides several annuity payment options that are described below. You may choose any annuity payment option available under your Contract. You can choose to receive payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

We will use your “annuity proceeds” to provide these payments. The “annuity proceeds” is your annuity value on the maturity date, less any premium tax that may apply. If your annuity payment would be less than $20, then we will pay you the annuity proceeds in one lump sum.

Fixed Annuity Income Payments. If you choose annuity payment Option A, B or C, the dollar amount of each annuity payment will be fixed on the maturity date and guaranteed by us. The payment amount will generally depend on the following:

 

 

the amount of the annuity proceeds on the maturity date;

 

 

the interest rate we credit on those amounts; and

 

 

the specific payment option you choose.

Variable Annuity Income Payments. If you choose variable annuity payment Option D or E, 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 Contract. The dollar amount of each additional variable payment will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) you invest in and the Contract's assumed investment return of 5%. The dollar amount of each variable payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant. If, after all charges are deducted, the actual investment performance exactly matches the Contract's assumed investment return of 5% at all times, then the dollar amount of the next variable annuity payment would remain the same. If actual investment performance, after all charges are deducted, exceeds the assumed investment return, then the dollar amount of the variable annuity payments would increase. But, if actual investment performance, less charges, is lower than the 5% assumed investment return, then the dollar amount of the variable annuity payments would decrease. The portfolio in which you are invested must grow at a rate at least equal to the 5% assumed investment return (plus the mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% and the administrative charge of 0.15% annually) in order to avoid a decrease in the dollar amount of variable annuity payments. For more information on how variable annuity income payments are determined, see the SAI.

If you elect a variable annuity payment option, we deduct a daily mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% and an administrative charge of 0.15% annually from your subaccount assets.

The annuity payment options are explained below. Some of the annuity payment options may not be available in all states. Options A, B, and C are fixed only. Options D and E are variable only.

Fixed Annuity Payment Options

Payment Option A – Fixed Installments. We will pay the annuity in equal payments over a fixed period of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years or any other fixed period acceptable to Western Reserve.

If your Contract is a qualified contract, payment option A may not satisfy minimum required distribution rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing that option.

 

17


Table of Contents

Payment Option B – Life Income: Fixed Payments.

 

 

No Period Certain: We will make level payments only during the annuitant's lifetime;

 

 

10 Years Certain: We will make level payments for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or 10 years; or

 

 

Guaranteed Return of Annuity Proceeds: We will make level payments for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or until the total dollar amount of payments we made to you equals the annuity proceeds.

Payment Option C – Joint and Survivor Life Income: Fixed Payments. We will make level payments during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your choice. Payments will be made as long as either person is living.

For more information on how the fixed annuity payments are determined, see the SAI.

Variable Annuity Payment Options

Payment Option D – Variable Life Income. The annuity proceeds are used to purchase variable annuity units in the subaccounts you select. You may choose between:

 

 

No Period Certain: We will make variable payments only during the annuitant's lifetime; or

 

 

10 Years Certain: We will make variable payments for the longer of the annuitant's lifetime or 10 years.

Payment Option E – Variable Joint and Survivor Life Income. We will make variable payments during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your choice. Payments will be made as long as either person is living.

Other annuity payment options may be arranged by agreement with us.

Note Carefully: The death benefit payable after the maturity date will be affected by the annuity option you choose.

If:

 

 

you choose Life Income with No Period Certain or a Joint and Survivor Life Income (fixed or variable); and

 

 

the annuitant(s) dies, for example, before the due date of the second annuity payment;

Then:

 

 

we may make only one annuity payment and there will be no death benefit payable.

If:

 

 

you choose Fixed Installments, Life Income with 10 Years Certain, Life Income with Guaranteed Return of Annuity Proceeds, or Variable Life Income with 10 Years Certain; and

 

 

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

Then:

 

 

the remaining guaranteed payments will be continued to that person's beneficiary, or their value (determined at the date of death) may be paid in a single sum.

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 annuitant’s address of record. The annuitant is responsible for keeping Western Reserve informed of the annuitant’s current address of record.

 

3. PURCHASE

Contract Issue Requirements

We will not issue a Contract unless:

 

 

we receive the information we need to issue the Contract at our Administrative and Service Office in good order;

 

18


Table of Contents
 

we receive a minimum initial purchase payment (except for 403(b) Contracts); and

 

 

you are age 85 or younger and the annuitant is age 80 or younger.

We may reject any application or purchase payments for any reason permitted by law.

Purchase Payments

You should make checks or drafts for purchase payments payable only to “Western Reserve Life” and send them to our Administrative and Service Office. Your check or draft must be honored in order for us to pay any associated payments and benefits due under the Contract.

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 “Western Reserve Life”, however, in some circumstances, at our discretion we may accept third party checks that are from a rollover or a transfer from other financial institutions. Any third party checks not accepted by the 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 Purchase Payments

The initial purchase payment for nonqualified Contracts must be at least $5,000. However, you may make a minimum initial purchase payment of $1,000, rather than $5,000, if you indicate on your application that you anticipate making minimum monthly payments of at least $100 by electronic funds transfer. For traditional or Roth IRAs, the minimum initial purchase payment is $1,000 and for qualified Contracts other than traditional or Roth IRAs, the minimum initial purchase payment is $50.

We will credit your initial purchase payment to your Contract within two business days after the day we receive it and your complete Contract information in good order. If we are unable to credit your initial purchase payment, we (or your agent) will contact you within five business days and explain why. We will also return your initial purchase payment at that time unless you tell us (or your agent) to keep it and to credit it as soon as we receive all necessary application information.

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

Although we do not anticipate delays in processing your application, we may experience delays if agents fail to forward applications and purchase payments to our Administrative and Service Office in a timely manner. Any delays will affect when your Contract can be issued and when your purchase payment is allocated among the investment choices.

If you wish to make purchase payments by bank wire, please contact our Administrative and Service Office at 1-800-851-9777 (Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

Additional Purchase Payments

You are not required to make any additional purchase payments. However, you can generally make additional purchase payments as often as you like during the lifetime of the annuitant and prior to the maturity date. We will accept purchase payments by bank wire or by check. Additional purchase payments must be at least $50 ($100 monthly in the case of nonqualified Contracts with a $1,000 initial purchase payment and $1,000 if by wire). We will credit any additional purchase payments you make to your Contract at the accumulation unit value computed at the end of the business day on which we receive them at our Administrative and Service Office in good order. Our business day closes when the NYSE closes, usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If we receive your purchase payments after the close of our business day, we will calculate and credit them as of the close of the next business day.

 

19


Table of Contents

Maximum Total Purchase Payments

We reserve the right to reject cumulative premium payments over $1,000,000 (this includes subsequent premium payments) for all contracts with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate.

Allocation of Purchase Payments

On the Contract date, we will allocate your purchase payment to the investment choices you selected on your application. Your allocation must be in whole percentages and must total 100%. We will allocate additional purchase payments as you selected on your application, unless you request a different allocation.

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

You may change allocations for future additional purchase payments by writing or by telephoning the Administrative and Service Office or by visiting our website – www.westernreserve.com, subject to the limitations described under Section 4. Investment Choices – Telephone, Fax and Internet Transactions. The allocation change will apply to purchase payments received after the date we receive the change request at our Administrative and Service Office in good order.

You should review periodically how your payments are divided among the subaccounts because market conditions and your overall financial objectives may change.

Right to Cancel Period

You may return your Contract for a refund within 10 days after you receive it (or longer if required by state law). In most states, the amount of the refund will be the total purchase payments we have received, plus (or minus) any gains (or losses) in the amounts you invested in the subaccounts. You will keep any gains, and bear any losses, on amounts that you invested in the subaccounts. If state law requires, we will refund your original purchase payment(s). We determine the value of the refund as of the date we receive (in good order at our Administrative and Service Office) your written notice of cancellation and the returned Contract at our Administrative and Service Office. We will pay the refund within 7 days after we receive (in good order at our Administrative and Service Office) your written notice of cancellation and the returned Contract. The Contract will then be deemed void.

Annuity Val ue

You should expect your annuity value to change from valuation period to valuation period to reflect the investment performance of the portfolios, the interest credited to your value in the fixed account, and the fees and charges we deduct. A valuation period begins at the close of regular trading on each business day and ends at the close of regular trading on the next succeeding valuation date. A valuation date is any day the NYSE is open. Our business day closes when the NYSE closes, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. We observe the same holidays as the NYSE.

Accumulation Units

We measure the value of your Contract during the accumulation period by using a measurement called an accumulation unit. During the income phase, we use a measurement called an annuity unit. When you direct money into a subaccount, we credit your Contract with accumulation units for that subaccount. We determine how many accumulation units to credit by dividing the dollar amount you direct to the subaccount by the subaccount’s accumulation unit value as of the end of that valuation date. If you withdraw or transfer out of a subaccount, or if we assess a transfer charge, annual Contract charge, or any withdrawal charge, we subtract accumulation units from the subaccounts using the same method.

Each subaccount’s accumulation unit value was set at $10 when the subaccount started. We recalculate the accumulation unit value for each subaccount at the close of each valuation date. The new accumulation unit value reflects the investment performance and the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolio and the daily deduction of the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative charge. For a detailed discussion of how we determine accumulation unit values, see the SAI.

4. INVESTMENT CHOICES

The Separate Account

The WRL Freedom Conqueror variable annuity offers you a means of investing in various underlying portfolios offered by different investment companies (by investing in corresponding subaccounts). The companies that provide investment advice and administrative services for the underlying fund portfolios offered through this Contract are listed in Appendix A: Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts.

The general public may not purchase these portfolios. Their investment objectives and policies may be similar to other portfolios and mutual funds managed by the same investment adviser or sub-adviser that are sold directly to the public. You should not expect that the investment results of the other portfolios and mutual funds will be comparable to those portfolios offered by this prospectus.

There is no assurance that a portfolio will achieve its stated objective(s). For example, during extended periods of low interest rates, the yield of a money market subaccount may become extremely low and possibly negative. More detailed information may be found in the fund prospectuses that accompany this prospectus. You should read the fund prospectuses carefully before you invest.

Please contact our Administrative and Service Office at 1-800-851-9777 (Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time) or visit our website (www.westernreserve.com) to obtain an additional copy of the fund prospectuses containing more complete information concerning the funds and portfolios.

The underlying portfolios offered through this product are selected by Western Reserve, and Western Reserve 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 capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying 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”) portfolios at least in part because they are managed by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), our directly owned subsidiary.

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 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 portfolios that is available to you, including each fund's prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi/annual reports. Other sources such as newspapers and financial and other magazines provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a fund or portfolio. After you select 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 Contract resulting from the performance of the Portfolios you have chosen.

We do not recommend or endorse any particular portfolio and we do not provide investment advice. We do not guarantee that each portfolio will always be available for investment through the Contract. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable laws, to add new portfolios or portfolio classes, close existing portfolios or portfolio classes to allocations of new premiums by existing owners or new Contract owners at any time, or substitute portfolio shares that are held by any subaccount for shares of a different portfolio. New or substitute portfolios or portfolio classes may have different fees and expenses and their availability may be limited to certain classes of purchasers. We will not add, delete or substitute any shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by 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

We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to add, remove or combine subaccounts, and substitute the shares that are held by the separate account for shares of another portfolio, at our discretion. We reserve the right to eliminate the shares of any portfolios of a fund and to substitute shares of another portfolio of a fund (or of another open-end registered investment company) if the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment or, if in our judgment further investment in any portfolio should become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the separate account. We will not, however, substitute shares attributable to an owner’s interest in a subaccount without notice to, and prior approval of, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to the extent required by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), or other applicable law.

We also reserve the right to establish additional subaccounts, each of which would invest in a new portfolio of a fund, or in shares of another investment company, with a specified investment objective. New subaccounts may be established when, in the sole discretion of Western Reserve, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant, and any new subaccounts will be made available to existing owners on a basis to be determined by Western Reserve. We may also eliminate one or more subaccounts if, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant. In the event any subaccount is eliminated, Western Reserve will notify you and request a reallocation of the amounts invested in the eliminated subaccount.

Similarly, Western Reserve may, at its discretion, close a subaccount to new investment (either transfers or premium payments).

If you allocate premium to a subaccount that is closed to new investments, we will require new instructions. If we do not receive new instructions, the requested transaction will be canceled and the premium will be returned.

In the event of any such substitution or change, we may by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in the Contracts and other annuity contracts as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. If deemed by us to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the Contracts, 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, Western Reserve also may (1) transfer the assets of the separate account associated with eh Contracts 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 underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new fund of an existing fund, (5) add new underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new fund for an existing fund.

The Fixed Account

Purchase payments you allocate to and amounts you transfer to the fixed account become part of the general account of Western Reserve. 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 Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests in the general account is generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 Act or 1940 Act. Western Reserve has been advised that the staff of the SEC has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus which relates to the fixed account.

While we do not guarantee that the fixed account will always be available for investment, we guarantee that the interest credited to the fixed account will not be less than 4% per year. We have no formula for determining fixed account interest rates. We establish the interest rate, at our sole discretion, for each purchase payment or transfer into the fixed account. Rates are guaranteed for at least one year, but will never be less than 4% per year.

Any money you allocate or transfer to the fixed account will be placed with the other general assets of Western Reserve. All assets in our general account are subject to the general liabilities of our business operations. The amount of money you are able to accumulate in the fixed account during the accumulation period depends upon the total interest credited. The amount of annuity payments you receive during the income phase under a fixed annuity option will remain level for the entire income phase.

When you request a transfer or if we consent to a partial withdrawal, from the fixed account, we will account for it on a first-in, first-out (‘‘FIFO’’) basis, for purposes of crediting your interest. This means that we will take the deduction from the oldest money you have put in the fixed account. You may transfer money from the fixed account to the subaccounts once during each Contract year, subject to certain restrictions. You may not transfer money between the fixed account and the subaccounts during the income phase. You may not make partial withdrawals from the fixed account unless we consent.

Transfers

During the accumulation period, you or your agent/registered representative of record may make transfers from any subaccount. However, if you elect the asset rebalancing program, you may not make any transfers if you want to continue in the program. A transfer would automatically cancel your participation in the asset rebalancing program.

Currently, we allow you to transfer up to 100% of the amount in the fixed account. However, we reserve the right to require that you comply with one or more of the following:

 

 

That you only make one transfer per Contract year. This restriction does not apply to dollar cost averaging;

 

 

That you request transfers from the fixed account in writing;

 

 

That you only make transfers from the fixed account during the 30 days following each contract anniversary; and

 

 

That you limit the maximum amount you transfer from the fixed account to the greater of:

 

   

25% of the amount in the fixed account; or

 

   

the amount you transferred from the fixed account in the immediately prior Contract year.

(Note: This restriction may prolong the period of time it takes to transfer the total annuity value allocated to the fixed account to other investment choices. You should carefully consider whether investment in the fixed account meets your needs and investment criteria.)

Before affecting any of these requirements, we will notify you in writing, and they will apply uniformly to all Owners.

Except when used to pay premiums, we may also defer payment of any amounts from the fixed account for no longer than six months after we receive written notice of your request for the transfer. Transfers from the fixed account are not available through our Internet website.

During the income phase of your Contract, you may transfer values from one subaccount to another. No transfers may be made to or from the fixed account during the income phase. The minimum amount that can be transferred

 

23


Table of Contents

during this phase is the lesser of $10 of monthly income, or the entire monthly income of the variable annuity units in the subaccount from which the transfer is being made. We may limit subaccount transfers to one per Contract year. We may limit subaccount transfers to once per Contract year.

The fixed account is not available in all states. If your Contract was issued in New Jersey or Washington, you may not transfer any of their Contract value to the fixed account.

Transfers may be made by telephone, fax or Internet, subject to limitations described under Section 4. Investment Choices – Telephone, Fax and Internet Transactions. We consider all transfers made in any one day to be a single transfer.

If you make more than 12 transfers from the subaccounts in any Contract year, we will charge you $10 for each additional transfer you make during that year. There is no charge for transfers from the fixed account, however, they will be counted toward the 12 free transfers allowed per Contract year. We do not currently charge for Internet transfers, although we reserve the right to do so in the future.

Transfers to and from the subaccounts will be processed based on the accumulation unit values determined at the end of the business day on which we receive your written, telephoned, or faxed request, provided we receive your request in good order before the close of our business day (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). If we receive your request at or after the close of our business day, we will process the transfer request using the accumulation unit value for the next business day.

Market Timing and Disruptive Trading

The market timing policy and the related procedures (discussed below) do not apply to the ProFunds or Access subaccounts because the corresponding portfolios are specifically designed to accommodate frequent transfer activity. If you invest in the ProFunds or Access subaccounts, you should be aware that you may bear the costs and increased risks of frequent transfers discussed below.

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 contract 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 contract 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 disruptive trading. As discussed herein, we cannot detect or deter all market timing or potentially disruptive trading. Do not invest with us (except in the ProFunds or Access subaccounts as discussed above) if you intend to conduct market timing or potentially disruptive trading.

 

24


Table of Contents

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 contract owners (or others having an interest in the variable insurance products). 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 standard U.S. Postal Service first class 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 judgment and discretion, it is possible that some contract 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 contract 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. 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, transfers for multiple policies invested in the Transamerica Series Trust underlying fund portfolios which are submitted together may be disruptive at certain levels. At the present time, such aggregated transactions likely will not cause disruption if less than one million dollars total is being transferred with respect to any one underlying fund portfolio (a smaller amount may apply to smaller portfolios). Please note that transfers of less than one million dollars may be disruptive in some circumstances and the general amount may change quickly.

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.

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.

 

25


Table of Contents

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 with a prophylactic transfer restriction). As noted above, we do not impose a prophylactic transfer restriction and, 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 contract 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 options 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 contract 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 contract 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 options under the variable insurance product. In addition, we may not honor transfer requests if any variable investment option 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 a relatively short 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. Contract owners should be aware that we may not have the contractual ability or the operational capacity to monitor Contract owners’ transfer requests and apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective underlying funds that would be affected by the transfers. Accordingly, Contract 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.

Contract 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 contract owners, and to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific contract owners identified by an underlying fund portfolio as violating the frequent trading policies established for that portfolio.

Omnibus Orders. Contract 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 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

 

26


Table of Contents

variable investment options 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.

ProFunds and Access Subaccounts. The restrictions above do not apply to ProFunds or Access subaccounts. Because the above restrictions do not apply to the ProFunds or Access subaccounts, they may have a greater risk than others of suffering from the harmful effects of market timing and disruptive trading, as discussed above (i.e., dilution, an adverse effect on portfolio management, and increased expenses).

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

Dollar cost averaging allows you to transfer systematically a specific amount each month from the fixed account, the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount, the TA JPMorgan Core Bond subaccount, or any combination of these accounts to a different subaccount. You may specify the dollar amount to be transferred monthly; however, you must transfer a total of $1,000 monthly ($500 for New Jersey residents). To qualify, a minimum of $10,000 must be in each subaccount from which we make transfers.

You may request dollar cost averaging at any time. A dollar cost averaging program will begin once we have received at our Administrative and Service Office in good order all necessary information and the minimum required amount. There is no charge for this program. However, these transfers do count towards the 12 free transfers allowed during each Contract year.

If you make dollar cost averaging transfers from the fixed account, each month you may transfer no more than 1/10th of the dollar amount in the fixed account on the date you start dollar cost averaging. (Please note: a Dollar Cost Averaging Program will not begin on the 29th, 30th, or 31st of the month. If a program would have started on one of these dates, it will start on the 1st business day of the following month.)

By transferring a set amount on a regular schedule instead of transferring the total amount at one particular time, you may reduce the risk of investing in the portfolios only when the price is high. Dollar cost averaging does not guarantee a profit and it does not protect you from loss if market prices decline.

We reserve the right to discontinue offering dollar cost averaging 30 days after we send notice to you. Dollar cost averaging is not available if you have elected the asset rebalancing program or if you elect to participate in any asset allocation service provided by a third party.

Dollar Cost averaging will terminate if (i) we receive (at our Administrative and Service Office or by phone) from you or your authorized registered representative a request to cancel your participation, or (ii) the value in the account from which we make the transfers is depleted.

If we receive additional premium payments after a Dollar Cost Averaging program is completed; the additional premium will be allocated according to the current payment allocations at that time and will not reactivate a completed Dollar Cost Averaging program. New Dollar Cost Averaging instructions will be required to Dollar Cost Average this additional premium.

Asset Rebalancing Program

During the accumulation period you can instruct us to rebalance automatically the amounts in your subaccounts to maintain your desired asset allocation. This feature is called asset rebalancing. To enter into asset rebalancing, you must submit a completed request form, signed by the owner to our Administrative and Service Office. To end participation in asset rebalancing, you or your authorized registered representative may call or write to our Administrative and Service Office. Entrance to the asset rebalancing program is limited to once per Contract year. However, we will not rebalance if you are in the dollar cost averaging program or systematic partial withdrawal program, if you elect to participate in any asset allocation service provided by a third party or if you request any other transfer or if we receive your request to discontinue participation at our Administrative and Service Office. Asset rebalancing ignores amounts in the fixed account. You can choose to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

 

27


Table of Contents

If you request the Asset Rebalancing program, we will change your future payment allocation to match the subaccounts in your Asset Rebalancing Program.

To qualify for asset rebalancing, a minimum annuity value of $10,000 is required. Any annuity value in the fixed account value may not be included in the asset rebalancing program. Asset rebalancing does not guarantee gains, nor does it assure that any subaccount will not have losses.

There is no charge for this program. However, each reallocation which occurs under asset rebalancing will be counted towards the 12 free transfers allowed during each Contract year.

We reserve the right to discontinue, modify or suspend the asset rebalancing program at any time.

Telephone, Fax and Internet Transactions

You may make transfers, change the allocation of additional premium payments, and (generally) request partial surrenders by telephone. Telephonic partial surrenders are not allowed in the following situations:

 

 

for qualified Contracts (except IRA, Roth IRA, SEcP, SIMPLE);

 

 

if the amount you want to withdraw is $50,000 and over; or

 

 

if the address of record has been changed within the past 15 days.

Upon instructions from you, the registered representative/agent of record for your Contract may also make telephonic transfers or partial withdrawals for you. If you do not want the ability to make transfers or partial withdrawals by telephone, you should notify us in writing.

You may make telephonic transfers, allocation changes or request partial withdrawals by calling our toll-free number, 1-800-851-9777 (Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time). You will be required to provide certain information for identification purposes when you request a transaction by telephone. 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. Telephone transfers for contracts owned by trusts will only be allowed if a current trust certification form with a signature guarantee is on file at our Administrative and Service Office. If we do not employ reasonable confirmation procedures, we may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent transactions.

Telephone, fax and Internet orders must be received in good order at our Administrative and Service Office while the New York Stock Exchange is open for regular trading to receive same-day pricing. Orders received in good order at our office after the close of the New York Stock Exchange will receive the price computed at the end of the next business day.

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

To request a transfer or partial withdrawal, please fax your request to us at 877-355-4385. We will not be responsible for same-day processing of transfers or partial withdrawals if you fax your request to a number other than this fax number.

You may make transfers and change premium allocations through our website – www.westernreserve.com.

We will not be responsible for transmittal problems which are not reported to us by the following business day. Any reports must be accompanied by proof of the faxed transmittal.

We cannot guarantee that telephone, fax or Internet transactions will always be available. For example, our Administrative and Service Office may be closed during severe weather emergencies or there may be interruptions in telephone service or problems with computer systems that are beyond our control. If the volume of calls is unusually high, we might not have someone immediately available to receive your order. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances. Outages or slowdowns may prevent or delay our receipt of your request.

In addition, you should protect your personal identification number (“PIN”) because self-service options will be available to your agent of record and to anyone who provides your PIN. We will not be able to verify that the person providing instructions via an automated telephone or online system is you or is authorized to act on your behalf.

We may discontinue the availability of telephone, fax or Internet transactions at any time.

Third Party Investment Services

Western Reserve or an affiliate may provide administrative or other support services to independent third parties you authorize to conduct transfers on your behalf, or who provide recommendations as to how your subaccount values should be allocated. This includes, but is not limited to, transferring subaccount values among subaccounts in accordance with various investment allocation strategies that these third parties employ.

Western Reserve does not engage any third parties to offer investment allocation services of any type, so that persons or firms offering such services do so independent from any agency relationship they may have with Western Reserve for the sale of Contracts. Western Reserve, therefore, takes no responsibility for the investment allocations and transfers transacted on your behalf by such third parties or any investment allocation recommendations made by such parties.

Western Reserve does not currently charge you any additional fees for providing these support services. Western Reserve reserves the right to discontinue providing administrative and support services to owners utilizing independent third parties who provide investment allocation and transfer recommendations.

Note carefully:

 

 

Western Reserve does not offer, and does not engage any third parties to offer, investment allocation services of any type for use with the Contract.

 

 

Western Reserve is not party to any agreement that you may have with any third parties that offer investment allocation services for use with your Contract. Western Reserve is not responsible for any recommendations such investment advisers make, any investment strategies they choose to follow, or any specific transfers they make on your behalf.

 

 

Any fee that is charged by third parties offering investment allocation services for use with your Contract is in addition to the fees and expenses that apply under your Contract.

 

 

If you make withdrawals from your Contract value to pay advisory fees, then taxes may apply to any such withdrawals and tax penalties may be assessed on withdrawals made before you attain age 59 1/2.

 

5. EXPENSES

There are charges and expenses associated with your Contract that reduce the return on your investment in the Contract. Unless we indicate otherwise, the expenses described below apply only during the accumulation period. The charges we deduct are used to pay aggregate Contract costs and expenses that we incur in providing the services and benefits under the Contract and assuming the risks associated with the Contract and riders. The charges may result in a profit to us.

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

We charge a fee as compensation for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the Contract. Examples include a guarantee of annuity rates, the death benefits, certain Contract expenses, and assuming the risk that the current charges will be insufficient in the future to cover costs of administering the Contract. The mortality and expense risk charge is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the average daily net assets that you have invested in each subaccount. This charge is deducted daily from the subaccounts during both the accumulation period and the income phase.

 

29


Table of Contents

If these charges do not cover our actual mortality and expense risk costs, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if these charges more than cover actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from these charges. We may use any profits to cover distribution costs.

Administrative Charge

We deduct an annual administrative charge to partially cover the costs of administering the Contracts. This charge is assessed daily and is equal to 0.15% per year of the daily net assets that you have invested in each subaccount.

Annual Contract Charge

We deduct an annual Contract charge of $35 from your annuity value on each Contract anniversary during the accumulation period and at surrender. We deduct this charge from the fixed account and each subaccount in proportion to the amount of annuity value in each account. We deduct the charge to cover our costs of administering the Contract.

Transfer Charge

You are allowed to make 12 free transfers among the subaccounts per Contract year. If you make more than 12 transfers per Contract year, we charge $10 for each additional transfer. We deduct the charge from the amount transferred. Dollar cost averaging transfers and asset rebalancing are considered transfers. All transfer requests made on the same day are treated as a single request. There is no charge for transfers from the fixed account, however, they will be counted towards the 12 free allowed per Contract year. We do not currently charge for Internet transfers, although we reserve the right to do so in the future. We deduct the charge to compensate us for the cost of processing the transfer.

Loan Processing Fee

If you take a Contract loan, we will impose a $30 loan processing fee. We deduct this fee from the loan amount. This fee is not applicable in all states. This fee covers loan processing and other expenses associated with establishing and administering the loan reserve. Contract loans are available only under certain types of qualified Contracts.

Premium Taxes

Some states assess premium taxes on the purchase payments you make. A premium tax is a regulatory tax that some states assess on the purchase payments made into a contract. If we should have to pay any premium tax, we may deduct the tax from each purchase payment or from the accumulation unit value as we incur the tax. We may deduct the total amount of premium taxes, if any, from the annuity value when:

 

 

you elect to begin receiving annuity payments;

 

 

you surrender the Contract;

 

 

you request a partial withdrawal; or

 

 

a death benefit is paid.

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

Federal, State and Local Taxes

We may in the future deduct charges from the Contract for any taxes we incur because of the Contract. 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.

During the accumulation period, except under certain qualified Contracts, you may withdraw part or all of the Contract's annuity value. We impose a withdrawal charge to help us recover sales expenses, including broker/dealer compensation and printing, sales literature and advertising costs. We expect to profit from this charge. We deduct this charge from your annuity value at the time you request a partial withdrawal or complete surrender.

If you take a partial withdrawal or if you surrender your Contract completely, we will deduct a withdrawal charge of up to 8% of purchase payments withdrawn within seven years after we receive a purchase payment. We calculate the withdrawal charge on the full amount we must withdraw from your annuity value in order to pay the withdrawal amount, including the withdrawal charge. To calculate withdrawal charges, we treat withdrawals as coming first from the oldest purchase payment, then the next oldest and so forth.

For the first withdrawal you make in any Contract year, we waive that portion of the withdrawal charge that is based on the first 10% of your Contract's annuity value at the time of the withdrawal. Amounts of the first withdrawal in excess of the first 10% of your Contract's annuity value and all subsequent withdrawals you make during the Contract year will be subject to a withdrawal charge.

We will deduct the full withdrawal charge if you surrender your Contract completely; the 10% waiver will not apply to complete surrenders. We do not assess withdrawal charges when you annuitize or for systematic partial withdrawals. We waive the withdrawal charge under certain circumstances (see below).

We will deduct the full withdrawal charge from the death benefit if the annuitant dies and the death benefit payable is the Contract's cash value.

The following schedule shows the withdrawal charges that apply during the seven years following each purchase payment:

For example, assume your Contract's annuity value is $100,000 at the end of the second year since your initial purchase payment and you withdraw $30,000 as your first withdrawal of the Contract year. Because the $30,000 is more than 10% of your Contract's annuity value ($10,000), you would pay a withdrawal charge of $1,505.37 on the remaining $20,000 (7% of $21,505.37, which is $20,000 plus the $1,505.37 withdrawal charge).

On a complete surrender, we deduct withdrawal charges on the amount of purchase payments paid that are subject to the withdrawal charge. For example, assume your initial purchase payment was $100,000, you have taken no partial withdrawals that Contract year, your annuity value is $106,000 in the second Contract year and you request a complete surrender. You would pay a withdrawal charge of $7,000 on the $100,000 purchase payment, (7% of $100,000). Likewise, if there was a market loss and you requested a complete surrender (annuity value is $80,000), you would pay a withdrawal charge of $7,000 (7% of $100,000).

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

Systematic Partial Withdrawals. During any Contract year, you may make systematic partial withdrawals on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis without paying withdrawal charges. Systematic partial withdrawals

 

31


Table of Contents

must be at least $200 ($50 if by direct deposit). The amount of the systematic partial withdrawal may not exceed 10% of the annuity value at the time the withdrawal is made, divided by the number of withdrawals made per calendar year. We reserve the right to discontinue systematic partial withdrawals if any withdrawal would reduce your annuity value below $5,000.

You may elect to begin or discontinue systematic partial withdrawals at any time. However, we must receive written notice at least 30 days prior to the date systematic partial withdrawals are to be discontinued. (Additional limitations apply. See Section 7. Access to Your Money - Systematic Partial Withdrawals.)

Nursing Care Facility Waiver. If your Contract contains a nursing care facility waiver, we will waive the withdrawal charge, provided:

 

 

you have been confined to a nursing care facility for 30 consecutive days or longer;

 

 

your confinement began after the Contract date; and

 

 

you provide us with written evidence of your confinement within two months after your confinement ends.

We will waive the withdrawal charge under this waiver only for partial withdrawals and complete surrenders made during your confinement or within two months after your confinement ends.

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

This waiver is not available in all states.

Portfolio Management Fees

The value of the assets in each subaccount is reduced by the management fees and expenses paid by the portfolios. Some portfolios also deduct 12b-1 fees from portfolio assets. These fees and expenses reduce the value of your portfolio shares. A description of these fees and expenses is found in the fund prospectuses.

Revenue We Re ceive

This prospectus describes generally the payments that we (and/or our affiliates) may directly or indirectly receive from the underlying fund portfolios, their advisers, subadvisers, distributors or affiliates thereof, in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other support services we (and/or our affiliates) provide and expenses we incur in offering and selling our variable insurance products. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below. While only certain of the types of payments described below may be made in connection with your particular Contract, all such payments may nonetheless influence or impact actions we (and/or our affiliates) take, and recommendations we (and/or our affiliates) make, regarding each of the variable insurance products that we (and our affiliates) offer, including your Contract.

We (and/or our affiliates) may receive some or all of the following types of payments:

 

 

Rule 12b-1 Fees. We and/or our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) who is the principal underwriter for the contracts, indirectly receive 12b-1 fees from the funds available as investment choices under our variable insurance products. Any 12b-1 fees received by TCI that are attributable to our variable annuity products are then credited to us as an administrative expense. These fees range from 0.00% to 0.45% of the average daily assets of those underlying fund portfolios that are attributable to the Contracts and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue.

 

 

Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees (“Service 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 adviser or sub-adviser realized on the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Contract 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 Contract and to certain other variable annuity and 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.

Table of Contents

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

Please note: Some of the underlying funds listed in the following chart may not currently be available under your Contract:

(1) 

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 contract and under certain other variable insurance products offered by our affiliates and us. We and/or 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 provided.

(2) 

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 contractholders who 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 2011 we received $16,703892.90 in benefits from TAM pursuant to these arrangements. This includes the 0.25% amount in the above chart. We anticipate receiving comparable amounts in the future.

(3) 

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

 

 

Other payments. We and our affiliates, including TCI, Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. (“TFA”), and World Group Securities (“WGS”), also directly or indirectly receive 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. Contract 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 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 pay TFA varying amounts to obtain access to TFA’s wholesaling and selling representatives;

 

   

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 portfolios and to assist with their promotional efforts; and

 

   

may reimburse our affiliated selling firms for exhibit booths and other items at national conferences of selling representatives. The amounts may be significant and provide the adviser or subadviser (or other affiliates) with increased access to us and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the Contract.

For the calendar year ended December 31, 2011, TCI, or its affiliates, received total revenue sharing payments in the amount of $3,368,635.55 from the following Fund managers and/or sub-advisers to participate in TCI’s events: AllianceBernstein Investments, AEGON USA Investment Management, BlackRock Investment

6. 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. No attempt is made to consider any applicable state or other income tax laws, any state and local estate or inheritance tax, or other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under the Contract. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own circumstances. We have included an additional discussion regarding taxes in the SAI.

Annuity Contracts in General

Deferred annuity Contracts 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 contract 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 contract, the contract will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes and tax deferral will not apply.

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

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

Qualified and Nonqua lified Contracts

If you purchase the contract under an individual retirement annuity, a 403(b) plan, a 457 plan, or a pension or profit sharing plan, your contract is referred to as a qualified contract.

Qualified contracts 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 contract. A Roth IRA also allows individuals to make contributions to the contract, but it does not 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 contract on a pre-tax basis. Pursuant to new tax regulations, starting January 1, 2009 the Contract is not available for purchase under a 403(b) plan and we do not accept additional premiums or transfers to existing 403(b) Contracts. 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) Contract comply with applicable tax requirements before we process your request.

 

34


Table of Contents
 

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 contract 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 contract.

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

 

 

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

 

 

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

 

 

the amount of any death benefit that may be allowed.

Optional death benefit features in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the contract 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 contract in connection with such plans should consult their tax adviser before purchasing an optional death benefit. The Internal Revenue Service has not reviewed the contract 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 contract, if any, comport with IRA qualification requirements. The value of death benefit options and riders elected may need to be considered in calculating minimum required distributions.

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 contract. There are limits on the amount of contributions you can make to a qualified contract. Other restrictions may apply including terms of the plan in which you participate.

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

Partial Withdrawals and Surrenders—Qualified Contracts Generally

In the case of a withdrawal under a qualified contract, 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 partially withdrawn or surrendered from the contract 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 contract by a certain date. The terms of the plan may limit the rights otherwise available to you under the contract. We have provided more information in the SAI.

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.

You should consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering purchasing a contract for use with any qualified retirement plan or arrangement.

Partial Withdrawals and Surrenders—403(b) Contracts

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;

 

35


Table of Contents
 

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 partially withdraw or 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 2009, amounts attributable to nonelective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified in the employer’s section 403(b) plan.

If your Contract was issued pursuant to a 403(b) plan, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that withdrawals 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 withdrawal or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the Contract, and transactions under the Contract 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.

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) contracts.

Partial Withdrawals and Surrenders—Nonqualified Contracts

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 contract before the annuity commencement date, the Internal Revenue Code treats that partial withdrawal or surrender as first coming from earnings and then from your premium payments. When you make a partial withdrawal or surrender you are taxed on the amount of the partial withdrawal or 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 partial withdrawals 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 partially withdrawn or 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 partial withdrawals and 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.

Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above.

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.

Table of Contents

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

Amounts may be distributed from the contract 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.

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 contract’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.

Partial Annuitizations

Under a new tax provision enacted in 2010, if part of an annuity contract’s value is applied to an annuity option that provides payment for one or more lives and for a period of at least ten years, those payments may be taxed as annuity payment instead of withdrawals. None of the payment options under the Contract is intended to qualify for this “partial annuitization” treatment and, if you apply only part of the value of the Contract to payment option, we will treat those payments as withdrawals for tax purposes.

Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of Contracts

A transfer of ownership or assignment of a contract, the designation of an annuitant or payee or other beneficiary who is not also the owner, the selection of certain annuity commencement dates, the exchange of a contract and certain other transactions, or a change of annuitant other than the owner,, 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.

Medicare Tax

Beginning in 2013, distributions from nonqualified annuity contracts 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. Please consult a tax advisor for more information.

Table of Contents

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 contract 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 contract to attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.

Federal Defense of Marriage Act

The right of a spouse to continue the Contract, and all Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. 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, the spousal continuation provisions of this Contract will not be available to such partners or same-sex marriage spouses. Please 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 Contract in detail, 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.

Federal Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes

For 2012, the federal estate tax, gift tax and generation-skipping transfer (“GST”) tax exemptions and maximum rates are $5,120,000 and 35%, respectively. After 2012, in the absence of legislative action, the federal estate tax, gift tax and GST tax exemptions and rates will return to their 2001 levels (with inflation adjustments for the GST tax exemption but not for the estate or gift tax exemptions). This would result in significantly lower exemptions and significantly higher tax rates. Between now and the end of 2012, Congress may make the current exemptions and rates permanent, it may do nothing and allow the 2001 levels to go into effect, or it may change the applicable exemptions and/or tax rates.

The uncertainty as to how the current law might be modified in coming years underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and those of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico

The Internal Revenue Service has 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.

Table of Contents

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 contract purchase.

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 contract 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 contract.

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

Foreign Tax Credits

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

 

7. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

Partial Withdrawals and Complete Surrenders

During the accumulation period, you can have access to the money in your Contract by making either a partial withdrawal or complete surrender.

If you want to surrender your Contract completely, you will receive your cash value, which equals the annuity value of your Contract minus:

 

 

any withdrawal charges;

 

 

any premium taxes;

 

 

any loans;

 

 

any unpaid accrued interest;

 

 

the annual Contract charge and;

 

 

any rider charges.

The cash value will be determined at the accumulation unit value next determined as of the end of the business day (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on which we receive your request for partial withdrawal or complete surrender at our Administrative and Service Office in good order, unless you specify a later date in your request. Please note: All withdrawal requests must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing your request.

 

39


Table of Contents

No partial withdrawal is permitted if the withdrawal would reduce the cash value below $5,000. You may not make partial withdrawals from the fixed account unless we consent. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will take the partial withdrawal from each of the investment choices in proportion to the annuity value.

Remember that any partial withdrawal you take will reduce the annuity value and also may have a negative impact on certain benefits and guarantees of your Contract. Under some circumstances, a partial withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by more than the dollar amount of the withdrawal. See Section 9. Death Benefit, for more details.

Income taxes, federal tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any partial withdrawals or any complete surrender you make. If your Contract was issued pursuant to a 403(b) plan, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that withdrawals 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 withdrawal or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the Contract, and transactions under the Contract 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.

We must receive at our Administrative and Service Office in good order a properly completed surrender (partial or full) request by mail or fax. We will accept telephone requests for partial withdrawals as long as the withdrawal proceeds are being sent to the address of record. The maximum withdrawal amount you may request by telephone is under $50,000.

When we incur extraordinary expenses, such as a wire transfers or overnight mail expenses, for expediting delivery of your partial withdrawal or complete surrender payment, we will deduct that charge from the payment. We charge $25 for a wire transfer and $20 for an overnight delivery.

If the Contract's owner is not an individual, additional information may be required. If you own a qualified Contract, the Code may require your spouse to consent to any withdrawal. Other restrictions will apply to Section 403(b) qualified Contracts and Texas Optional Retirement Program Contracts. For more information, call us at 1-800-851-9777 (Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time).

Signature Guarantees

As a protection against fraud, we require a signature guarantee (i.e., Medallion Signature Guarantee as required by us) for the following transaction requests:

 

 

Any surrenders over $250,000;

 

 

Certain surrenders on or within 15 days of an ownership change;

 

 

Any surrender when the Company has been directed to send proceeds to a different personal address from the address of record for that Contract owner’s account. PLEASE NOTE: This requirement will not apply to disbursement requests made in connection with exchanges of one annuity contract for another with the same owner in a “tax free exchange”;

 

 

Any surrender when the Company does not have an originating or guaranteed signature on file.

 

 

Any other transaction where we require.

We may change the specific requirements listed above, or add Signature Guarantees in other circumstances, in our discretion if we deem it necessary or appropriate to help protect against fraud. For current requirements, please refer to the requirements listed on the appropriate form or call us at (800) 851-9777.

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

 

 

National and state banks

 

 

Savings banks and savings and loan association;

 

 

Securities brokers and dealers; and

 

 

Credit Unions.

Table of Contents

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.

A notary public cannot provide a Medallion Signature Guarantee. Notarization will not substitute for a Medallion Signature Guarantee when required.

Delay of Payment and Transfers

Payment of any amount due from the separate account for a partial withdrawal, a complete surrender, a death benefit, loans or on the death of the owner of a nonqualified Contract, will generally occur within seven days from the date all required information is received by us. We may be permitted to defer such payment from the separate account if:

 

 

the NYSE is closed for other than usual weekends or holidays or trading on the NYSE is otherwise restricted; or

 

 

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.

Transfers of amounts from the subaccounts also may be deferred under these circumstances.

In addition, if, pursuant to SEC rules, the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP portfolio suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the portfolio, then we may delay payment of any transfer, partial withdrawal, surrender, loan, or death benefit from the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount until the portfolio is liquidated.

Pursuant to the requirements of certain state laws, we reserve the right to defer payment of transfers, partial withdrawals, surrenders, death benefits and loan amounts from the fixed account for up to six months.

If mandated under applicable law or by regulation, we may be required to reject a purchase payment. We may be required to provide additional information about you or your account to governmental regulators. In addition, we may be required to block a Contract owner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, loans, annuity payments or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulators.

Systematic Partial Withdrawals

During the accumulation period, you can elect to receive regular payments from your Contract without paying withdrawal charges by using systematic partial withdrawals. Unless you specify otherwise, we will deduct systematic partial withdrawal amounts from each subaccount (and, if we consent, the fixed account) in proportion to the value each subaccount bears to the annuity value at the time of the partial withdrawal. You can partially withdraw up to 10% of your annuity value annually in equal monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual payments of at least $200 ($50 if by direct deposit). Your annuity value must equal at least $25,000. We will not process a systematic partial withdrawal if the annuity value for the entire Contract would be reduced below $5,000. No systematic partial withdrawals are permitted from the fixed account without our prior consent.

There is no charge for taking systematic partial withdrawals. You may stop systematic partial withdrawals at any time. We reserve the right to discontinue offering systematic partial withdrawals 30 days after we send you written notice.

You can take systematic partial withdrawals during the accumulation period only. On the maturity date, you must annuitize the Contract and systematic partial withdrawal payments must stop.

Income taxes, federal tax penalties and other restrictions may apply to any systematic partial withdrawal you receive.

Contract Loans for Certain Qualified Contracts

You can take Contract loans during the accumulation period after the right to cancel period has expired when the Contract is used in connection with a tax-sheltered annuity plan under Section 403(b) of the Code (limit of one Contract loan per calendar year). If your Contract was issued pursuant to a 403(b) plan, starting January 1, 2009, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that loans you request comply with applicable tax requirements and to decline requests that are not in compliance. No additional loans will be allowed if there is a defaulted loan. There can be no more than two outstanding loans at any given time.

The maximum amount you may borrow against the Contract is the lesser of:

 

 

50% of the annuity value; or

 

 

$50,000 reduced by the highest outstanding loan balance during the one-year period immediately prior to the loan date. However, if the annuity value is less than $20,000, the maximum you may borrow against the Contract is the lesser of 80% of the annuity value or $10,000.

The minimum loan amount is $1,000 (unless otherwise required by state law). You are responsible for requesting and repaying loans that comply with applicable tax requirements, and other laws, such as the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). In addition, the Department of Labor has issued regulations governing loans taken by plan participants under retirement plans subject to ERISA. These regulations require, in part, that a loan from an ERISA-governed plan be made under an enforceable agreement, charge a reasonable rate of interest, be adequately secured, provide a reasonable repayment schedule, and be made available on a basis that does not discriminate in favor of employees who are officers or shareholders or who are highly compensated.

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in penalties under the Code and ERISA. You and your employer are responsible for determining whether your plan is subject to, and complies with, ERISA and the Department of Labor’s regulations governing plan loans and the tax rules applicable to loans. Accordingly, you should consult a competent tax advisor before requesting a Contract loan.

The loan amount will be withdrawn from your investment choices and transferred to the loan reserve. The loan reserve is part of the fixed account and is used as collateral for all Contract loans. We reserve the right to postpone distributing the loan amount from the fixed account for up to six months, if required.

On each Contract anniversary we will compare the amount of the Contract loan to the amount in the loan reserve. If all Contract loans and unpaid interest due on the loan exceed the amount in the loan reserve, we will withdraw the difference from the subaccounts and transfer it to the loan reserve. If the amount of the loan reserve exceeds the amount of the outstanding Contract loan, we will withdraw the difference and transfer it in accordance with your current purchase payment allocation. We reserve the right to transfer the excess to the fixed account if the amount used to establish the loan reserve was transferred from the fixed account.

If all Contract loans and unpaid interest due on the loan exceed the cash value, we will mail to your last known address and to any assignee of record a notice stating the amount due in order to reduce the loan amount so that the loan amount no longer exceeds the cash value. If the excess amount is not paid within 31 days after we mail the notice, the Contract will terminate without value.

You can repay any Contract loan in full:

 

 

while the Contract is in force; and

 

 

during the accumulation period.

Note Carefully: If you do not repay your Contract loan, we will deduct an amount equal to the unpaid loan balance plus any unpaid accrued interest from:

 

 

the amount of any death benefit proceeds; or

 

 

the amount we pay upon a partial withdrawal or complete surrender; or

 

 

the amount we apply on the maturity date to provide annuity payments.

 

42


Table of Contents

You must pay interest on the loan at the rate of 6% per year. You are responsible for determining whether this interest rate is reasonable under ERISA. We deduct interest in arrears. Amounts in the loan reserve will earn interest at a minimum guaranteed effective annual interest rate of 4%. Principal and interest must be repaid:

 

 

in substantially level quarterly payments over a 5-year period; or

 

 

over a 10, 15 or 20-year period, if the loan is used to buy your principal residence.

Please Note: Once established, you cannot change the due date or payment method.

An extended repayment period cannot go beyond the year you turn 70 1/2.

If:

 

 

a repayment is not received within 31 days from the original due date;

Then:

 

 

under federal tax law you will be treated as having a deemed distribution of all Contract loans and unpaid accrued interest, and any applicable charges, including any withdrawal charge, will be assessed.

This distribution will be reported as taxable to the Internal Revenue Service, may be subject to income and penalty tax, and may cause the Contract to not qualify under Section 403(b) of the Code.

You may fax your loan request to us at 866-671-9215.

The loan date is the date we process the loan request. We impose a $30 fee to cover loan processing and expenses associated with establishing and administering the loan reserve (not applicable in all states). For your protection, we will require a signature guarantee for any loan request within 30 days of an address change. We reserve the right to limit the number of Contract loans made per Contract year.

Contract loans may not be available in all states.

 

8. PERFORMANCE

We periodically advertise performance of the subaccounts and investment portfolios. We may disclose at least four different kinds of non-standard performance.

First, we may disclose standardized total return figures for the subaccounts that reflect the deduction of all charges assessed during the accumulation period under the Contract, including the mortality and expense charge, the administrative charge, the annual Contract charge and the withdrawal charge. These figures are based on the actual historical performance of the subaccounts investing in the underlying portfolios since their inception, adjusted to reflect current Contract charges.

Second, we may disclose total return figures on a non-standardized basis. This means that the data may be presented for different time periods and different dollar amounts. The data will not be reduced by the withdrawal charge currently assessed under the Contract. We will only disclose non-standardized performance data if it is accompanied by standardized total return data.

Third, we may present historic performance data for the portfolios since their inception reduced by some or all fees and charges under the Contract. Such adjusted historic performance includes data that precedes the inception dates of the subaccounts, but is designed to show the performance that would have resulted if the Contract had been available during that time.

The TST fund prospectus presents the total return of certain existing SEC-registered funds that are managed by sub-advisers to the TST fund portfolios. These funds have investment objectives, policies and strategies that are substantially similar to those of certain portfolios. We call the funds the ‘‘Similar Sub-Adviser Funds.’’ None of the fees and charges under the Contract has been deducted from the performance data of the Similar Sub-Adviser Funds. If Contract fees and charges were deducted, the investment returns would be lower. The similar Sub-Adviser Funds are not available for investment under the Contract.

9. DEATH BENEFIT

Payments on Death

We will pay death benefit proceeds to your beneficiary(ies), under certain circumstances, if you are both the owner and the annuitant and you die during the accumulation period (that is before the maturity date). A beneficiary may choose to receive payment of his or her portion of the death benefit proceeds under a life annuity payment option, to continue the Contract in the accumulation period for a specified number of years, or to receive a lump sum payment. Death benefit provisions may vary from state to state.

If a beneficiary does not choose one of these options, then the default option for nonqualified Contracts is complete distribution of the beneficiary’s interest within 5 years of the owner’s death, and the default option for qualified Contracts is payout over a beneficiary’s life expectancy. Please see Alternate Payment Elections Before the Maturity Date below for details.

We will determine the amount of and pay the death benefit proceeds, if any are payable on a Contract, 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.

Payments upon death are subject to certain distribution requirements under the Code. See the SAI for more details.

The death benefit proceeds remain invested in the separate account in accordance with the allocations made by the Contract owner until the beneficiary has provided us with due proof of death. Once the Company receives due proof of death, then investment 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” written instruction to reallocate the investments in the separate account to the money market fund after the death of the annuitant. If there is more than one beneficiary, all beneficiaries must agree to the reallocation instructions. This one-time reallocation will be permitted if the beneficiary provides satisfactory evidence of the annuitant’s death.

Before the Maturity Date. Payment of the death benefit proceeds depends on the status of the person who dies, as shown below:

 

Person Who Dies Before Maturity Date

  

Death Benefit

If an owner and the annuitant ARE the same person, and that person dies:    Then, we pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries, if alive, and, in some cases, reset the death benefit(1)(2)(4)(8). If the sole beneficiary is the surviving spouse, he or she may continue the Contract with a reset death benefit and the annuity value adjusted to equal the death benefit proceeds, if greater.(3)
If the surviving spouse who continued the Contract dies:    Then we pay the death benefit proceeds to the beneficiaries, if alive,(1)(2)((3)(4)(8) otherwise to the estate of the surviving spouse.
If an owner and the annuitant ARE NOT the same person, and an annuitant dies first:    Then, an owner becomes the annuitant and the Contract continues.
If an owner and the annuitant ARE NOT the same person, and an owner dies first:    Then, we pay the cash value to the successor owner named by the deceased owner (1)(5)(6)(7), or if the successor owner is the surviving spouse, then the Contract continues with the surviving spouse as the new owner.(5)

 

(1) 

The Code requires that payment to the beneficiaries or successor owners be made in a certain manner and within certain strict timeframes. We discuss these time limitations in Alternate Payment Elections Before the Maturity Date below.

(2) 

If no beneficiary is alive on the death report day, then the death benefit proceeds are paid to the owner’s estate. If the sole beneficiary was living on the owner’s date of death but died before the death report day, the death benefit is paid to the owner’s estate, not to the beneficiary’s estate.

 

44


Table of Contents
(3) 

If the sole beneficiary is the deceased owner’s surviving spouse, then the surviving spouse may elect to continue the Contract in force as the new owner and annuitant. We will adjust the annuity value as of the death report day to equal the death benefit proceeds as of the death report day, if greater. We will reset the age used in the death benefit provisions under the continuing Contract as of the death report day so that the death benefit is based on the age of the surviving spouse. Consequently, the phrase “the annuitant’s 80th birthday” will refer to the age of the surviving spouse. If the surviving spouse is over age 81 on the death report day of the first deceased owner, then we will calculate the death benefit paid on the death of the surviving spouse by taking the highest annuity value (i.e., the annuity value as of the death report day) and adding any subsequent purchase payments and subtracting the total partial withdrawals following the death report day of the first deceased owner.

(4) 

If a beneficiary elects to receive his or her portion of the death benefit proceeds within five years of the date of death of the annuitant or over a period that does not exceed such beneficiary’s life expectancy (the “distribution period”), then the Contract will continue with some modifications until the end of the elected distribution period. We will adjust the annuity value as of the death report day to equal the death benefit proceeds as of the death report day. We will pay a death benefit if such beneficiary dies during the distribution period, and we will revise the way we calculate the death benefit so that it is based on the age of such beneficiary. The Contract will terminate at the end of the distribution period.

(5)

If the successor owner is alive and is the deceased owner’s surviving spouse at the time of the deceased owner’s death, then the Contract will continue with the spouse as the new owner.

(6)

If the successor owner is not the deceased owner’s surviving spouse, then any living successor owner must receive the cash value in the manner and within the timeframe discussed below in Alternate Payment Elections Before the Maturity Date.

(7) 

If no successor owner is alive, the owner’s estate will become the new owner and the cash value must be distributed within 5 years of the deceased owner’s death.

(8) 

If there are multiple beneficiaries, each beneficiary may elect, individually, how he or she wishes to receive his or her proportionate share of the death benefit proceeds.

Different rules apply if an owner, successor owner or a beneficiary is not a natural person. Please consult the SAI, your Contract or your agent for more details.

After the Maturity Date. The death benefit paid after the start of annuity payments depends upon the annuity option you selected. See Section 2. Annuity Payments (The Income Phase). Not all payment options provide for a death benefit.

If any owner dies on or after the start of annuity payments, the remaining portion of any interest in the Contract will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of the annuitant’s death.

Amount of Death Benefit Before the Maturity Date

Death benefit provisions may differ from state to state. The death benefit proceeds may be paid (i) as a lump sum, (ii) as substantially equal payments while the Contract continues in the accumulation period for a specified number of years, or (iii) as annuity payments, but in all events will be paid in accordance with any applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations.

If an owner who is the annuitant dies before the maturity date and if the death benefit proceeds are payable, the death benefit proceeds will be as follows:

If:

 

 

the owner who is the annuitant dies during the accumulation period and before the eighth Contract anniversary;

Then:

 

 

the death benefit proceeds will be the greater of:

 

   

the cash value of your Contract on the death report day; or

 

45


Table of Contents
   

the total purchase payments you make to the Contract, reduced by any partial withdrawals, credited with 5% on each Contract anniversary (until the annuitant turns age 80), up to a maximum of 200% of total purchase payments minus any partial withdrawals. (Please note that the 5% credit is not available in all states.)

If:

 

 

the owner who is the annuitant dies before the maturity date and after the seventh Contract anniversary;

Then:

 

   

the death benefit proceeds will be the greatest of:

 

   

the death benefits described above;

 

   

the cash value of your Contract on the seventh Contract anniversary, reduced by any partial withdrawals after the seventh Contract year;

 

   

if your Contract was issued before May 1, 2000, the highest annuity value as of any Contract anniversary occurring between (a) the later of May 1, 2000 and the seventh Contract anniversary and (b) the earlier of:

 

   

the annuitant’s date of death; or

 

   

the Contract anniversary nearest the annuitant’s 80th birthday. This benefit terminates at age 80.

 

   

if your Contract was issued on or after May 1, 2000, the highest annuity value as of any Contract anniversary occurring between the seventh Contract anniversary and the earlier of:

 

   

the annuitant’s date of death; or

 

   

the Contract anniversary nearest the annuitant’s 80th birthday. This benefit terminates at age 80.

The highest annuity value will be increased by purchase payments made and decreased by adjusted partial withdrawals taken since the Contract anniversary date with the highest annuity value. The adjusted partial withdrawal is equal to (a) times (b) where:

 

(a) is the ratio of the death benefit to the annuity value, calculated on the date the partial withdrawal is processed, but prior to the processing; and

 

(b) is the amount of the partial withdrawal.

Note: The cash value is the annuity value, minus the annual Contract charge, any applicable premium taxes and any withdrawal charges. This means that we will deduct the full withdrawal charge from the death benefit if the annuitant dies and the death benefit payable is the Contract's cash value. We will waive the withdrawal charge if the beneficiary elects to apply the death benefit to a new variable annuity contract issued by Western Reserve.

The death benefit proceeds are reduced by any outstanding Contract loans and premium taxes due.

The death benefit proceeds are not payable after the maturity date.

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit Features

Additional Benefits with Spousal Continuation. If the owner who is the annuitant dies before the maturity date, and if the surviving spouse of the deceased owner is the sole beneficiary who elects to continue the Contract, then the Contract continues with the surviving spouse as sole owner and annuitant. We will increase the annuity value of the Contract as of the death report day to equal the death benefit proceeds as of the death report day to equal the death benefit proceeds as of the death report day, if greater. We will pay a death benefit on the death of the surviving spouse and revise the way we calculate the death benefit so that it is based on the age of the surviving spouse.

If an owner who is not the annuitant dies before an annuitant and before the maturity date, and if the deceased owner’s surviving spouse is the successor owner, the Contract continues with the surviving spouse as the new owner. However, we will not increase the annuity value to equal the death benefit proceeds.

Additional Death Benefit on Beneficiary's Death. If an owner who is the annuitant dies before the maturity date, and if the deceased owner's spouse is not named as the sole beneficiary who elects to continue the Contract, then

 

46


Table of Contents

each beneficiary can elect to keep the Contract in the accumulation period (with some restrictions) and to receive his or her portion of the death benefit over a period not to exceed the beneficiary's life expectancy (the “distribution period”). We will pay a death benefit if the beneficiary dies during the distribution period and permit such beneficiary to name a new beneficiary. We will revise the way we calculate the additional death benefit so that it is based on the age of such beneficiary.

Alternate Payment Elections Before the Maturity Date

If a beneficiary is entitled to receive the death benefit proceeds, a beneficiary may elect to receive the death benefit in a lump sum payment or to receive payment under one of the following options that provides for complete distribution and termination of this Contract at the end of the distribution period:

 

1. within 5 years of the date of the owner’s death;

 

2. over the beneficiary’s lifetime, with payments beginning within one year of the deceased owner’s death; or

 

3. over a specified number of years, not to exceed the beneficiary's life expectancy, with payments beginning within one year of the owner’s death.

To determine payments, we may use the “account-based” method under which we recalculate the amount of the payment each year by dividing the remaining unpaid proceeds by the beneficiary’s current life expectancy, with payments beginning within one year of the deceased owner’s death.

Different rules may apply if the Contract is a qualified Contract.

Multiple beneficiaries may choose individually among any of these options.

If the deceased annuitant was an owner, and one or more beneficiaries chooses one of the above options instead of a lump sum payment, we will “reset” the age used in the death benefit provisions under the new option as of the death report day, so that the death benefit is based on the age of the particular new annuitant (i.e., the beneficiary). As a result, the phrase “the annuitant’s 80th birthday” will refer to the age of the particular beneficiary. If the beneficiary is over age 81 on the death report day of the deceased owner, then we will calculate the death benefit paid on the death of the particular beneficiary by taking the highest annuity value (i.e., the annuity value as of the death report day) and adding any subsequent purchase payments and subtracting the total partial withdrawals following the death report day of the first deceased owner. This option applies to both spousal and non-spousal beneficiaries.

If a beneficiary chooses 1 or 3 above, this Contract remains in effect and remains in the accumulation period until it terminates at the end of the elected period. The beneficiary’s proportionate share of the death benefit proceeds becomes the new annuity value. If a beneficiary chooses 2 above, the Contract remains in effect, but moves into the income phase with the beneficiary receiving payments under a life annuity payout option. Special restrictions apply to 1 and 3 above. See the SAI for more details.

These Alternate Payment Elections do not apply if the sole beneficiary (or successor owner) is the surviving spouse of the deceased owner and the surviving spouse continues the Contract. These Alternate Payment Elections do apply when we pay the cash value to the successor owner on the death of an owner who is not the annuitant.

 

10. OTHER INFORMATION

Ownership

You, as owner of the Contract, exercise all rights under the Contract, including the right to transfer ownership (subject to any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary’s consent). You can change the owner at any time by notifying us in writing at our Administrative and Service Office in good order. An ownership change may be a taxable event.

 

47


Table of Contents

Annuitant

The annuitant is the person named in the application to receive annuity payments. If no person is named, the owner will be the annuitant. As of the maturity date, and upon our agreement, the owner may change the annuitant or, if

either annuity payment Option C or Option E has been selected, add a joint annuitant. On the maturity date, the annuitant(s) will become the payee(s) and receive the annuity payments.

Beneficiary

A beneficiary is the person who receives the death benefit when an owner who is also the annuitant dies. You may change beneficiary(ies) during the lifetime of the annuitant, subject to the rights of any irrevocable beneficiary. Any change must be made in writing and received by us at our Administrative and Service Office in good order and, if accepted, will be effective as of the date on which the request was signed by the owner. Before the maturity date, if the owner who is the annuitant dies and no beneficiary is alive on the death report day, benefits payable at death will be paid to the owner’s estate. In the case of certain qualified Contracts, the Treasury Regulations prescribe certain limitations on the designation of a beneficiary. See the SAI for more details on the beneficiary.

Successor Owner

If an owner who is not the annuitant dies before the annuitant and the successor owner is not the owner’s spouse, the successor owner will become the new owner and receive the cash value.

Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order

We cannot process your requests for transactions relating to the Contract until they are received in good order. “Good order” means the actual receipt 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 extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; the Contract number; the transaction amount (in dollars or percentage terms); the names and allocations to and/or from the Subaccounts affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all Contract Owners (exactly as registered on the Contract), if necessary; Social Security Number or Tax 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 of sufficient funds to affect 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 requirement at any time.

“Received” or receipt in good order generally means that everything necessary must be received by us, at our Administrative and Service Office specified in the Definition of Special Terms, However, in certain cases where applications or transaction request is transmitted electronically through or by a broker/dealer, “receipt” can mean the point in time when the application or transaction request is electronically transmitted by the broker/dealer (or other financial intermediary), provided that we actually receive the application or transaction request promptly in good order. We reserve the right to reject electronic transactions that do not meet our requirements.

Assignment

You can also generally assign the Contract any time before the maturity date. 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 Contract before we receive written notice of the assignment. An assignment may be a taxable event. There may be limitations on your ability to assign a qualified Contract and such assignments may be subject to tax penalties and taxed as distributions under the Code.

Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

Western Reserve was initially incorporated under the laws of Ohio on October 1, 1957. It is engaged in the business of writing life insurance policies and annuity contracts. Western Reserve 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. Western Reserve is licensed in the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and in all states except New York. All obligations arising under the Contracts, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of Western Reserve.

All obligations arising under the contracts, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of the Company. Accordingly no financial institution, brokerage firm or insurance agency is responsible for the financial obligations of the Company arising under the contracts.

Financial Condition of the Company

We pay the benefits under your Contract from our general account assets and/or from your annuity value held in the separate account. It is important that you understand that payments of the benefits is not guaranteed and depends upon certain factors discussed below.

Assets in the Separate Account. You assume all of the investment risk for your Contract value that is allocated to the Subaccounts of the Separate Account. Your Contract 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 Contract that exceed Contract value, such as those associated with 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 Contract in excess of Contract 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 Contracts 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 obligations, we monitor our reserves so that we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected Contract and claims payments. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims-paying obligations, and 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 Contract 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 Ohio Department of Insurance – as well as the financial statements of the separate account – are located in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).

The Separate Account

Western Reserve established a separate account, called the WRL Series Annuity Account, under the laws of the State of Ohio on April 12, 1988. The separate account is divided into subaccounts, each of which invests exclusively in shares of a mutual fund portfolio. Western Reserve may add, close, remove, combine or substitute subaccounts or investments held by the subaccounts, and reserves the right to change the investment objective of any subaccount, subject to applicable law as described in the SAI. In addition, the separate account may be used for other variable annuity contracts issued by Western Reserve.

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 contracts of the separate account or Western Reserve.

The assets of the separate account are held in Western Reserve's name on behalf of the separate account and belong to Western Reserve. However, the assets underlying the Contracts are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Western Reserve may conduct. The income, gains and losses, realized and unrealized, from the assets allocated to each subaccount are credited to and charged against that subaccount without regard to the income, gains and losses from any other of our accounts or subaccounts.

Information about the separate account 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-SEC-0330. In addition, the SEC maintains a web site (www.sec.gov) that contains other information regarding the separate account.

Exchanges

You can generally exchange one annuity contract 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, you might have to pay a withdrawal charge on your old contract, and there will be a new withdrawal charge period for this Contract and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits may be different. If the exchange does not qualify for Section 1035 treatment, you may have to pay federal income tax, and penalty tax, on the exchange. 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 selling you the Contract (that person will generally earn a commission if you buy this Contract through an exchange or otherwise).

Voting Rights

To the extent required by law, Western Reserve will vote all shares of the portfolios 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 accordance with those instructions. We will vote shares for which no timely instructions were received in the same proportion as the voting instructions we received. Accordingly, it is possible for a small number of contract owners (assuming there is a quorum) to determine the outcome of a vote, especially if they have large Contract values. However, if 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. More information on voting rights is provided in the SAI.

Distribution of the Contracts

Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement. We have entered into a principal underwriting and distribution agreement with our affiliate, TCI, for the distribution and sale of the Contracts. We pay commissions to

 

50


Table of Contents

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 Contracts which is not passed through to the selling firms and reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for the distribution of the Contracts.

Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Contracts. The Contracts 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 Contracts. We pay commissions through TCI to the selling firms for their sales of the Contracts.

A limited number of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers may also be paid commissions and overrides to “wholesale” the Contracts, that is, to provide sales support and training to sales representatives at selling firms. We may also provide compensation to a limited number of broker-dealers for providing ongoing service in relation to Contracts that have already been purchased.

The selling firms who have selling agreements with TCI and us are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the Contracts according to one or more schedules. The amount and timing of commissions may vary depending on the selling agreement, but the maximum commission is 6% of premiums (additional amounts may be paid as overrides to wholesalers).

To the extent permitted by rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), Western Reserve, TFA, WFG and other affiliated parties 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 which may be referred to as revenue sharing arrangements, are described further below.

The sales representative who sells you the Contract 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 Contract. 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.

Special Compensation For Affiliated Wholesaling and Selling Firms. Our parent company provides paid-in capital to TCI and pays the cost of TCI’s operating and other expenses, including costs for facilities, legal and accounting services, and other internal administrative functions.

Western Reserve’s two main distribution channels are TFA and WGS, both affiliates, who sell Western Reserve products.

Western Reserve covers the cost of TFA’s various facilities, third-party services and internal administrative functions, including employee salaries, sales representative training and computer systems that are provided directly to TFA. These facilities and services are necessary for TFA’s administration and operation, and Western Reserve is compensated by TFA for these expenses based on TFA’s usage. In addition, Western Reserve and other affiliates pay for certain sales expenses of TFA, including the costs of preparing and producing prospectuses and sales promotional materials for the Contract.

TFA pays its branch managers a portion of the commissions received from Western Reserve for the sale of the Contracts. Sales representatives receive a portion of the commissions for their sales of Contracts in accordance with TFA’s internal compensation programs.

To support its sales of Western Reserve’s variable annuity products, WGS receives an expense allowance of 0.35% of the annual annuity premiums paid on variable annuities sold by WGS. Sales representatives receive a portion of the commissions for their sales of Contracts in accordance with WGS’s internal compensation programs.

 

51


Table of Contents

Sales representatives and their managers at TFA and WGS may receive directly or indirectly additional cash benefits and non-cash compensation or reimbursements from us or our affiliates. Additional compensation or reimbursement arrangements may include payments in connection with TFA’s and WGS’s conferences or seminars, sales or training programs for invited selling representatives and other employees, seminars for the public, trips (such as travel, lodging and meals in connection therewith), entertainment, merchandise and other similar items, and payments, loans, loan guaranties, or loan forgiveness to assist a firm or a representative in connection with systems, operating, marketing and other business expenses. The amounts may be significant and may provide us with increased access to the sales representatives.

In addition, TFA’s managers and/or sales representatives who meet certain productivity standards may be eligible for additional compensation. Sales of the Contracts by affiliated selling firms may help sales representatives and/or their managers qualify for certain cash and non-cash benefits, and may provide such persons with special incentive to sell our Contracts. For example, TFA’s and WGS’s registered representatives, general agents, marketing directors and supervisors may be eligible to participate in a voluntary stock purchase plan that permits participants to purchase stock of AEGON N.V. (Western Reserve’s ultimate parent) by allocating a portion of the commissions they earn to purchase such shares. A portion of the contributions of commissions by TFA’s representatives may be matched by TFA.

TFA’s and WGS’s registered representatives may also be eligible to participate in a stock option and award plan. Registered representatives who meet certain production goals will be issued options on the stock of AEGON N.V.

Additional Compensation that We, TCI and/or our Affiliates Pay to Selected Selling Firms. We may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for “preferred product” treatment of the Contracts in their marketing programs in order to receive enhanced marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives. In exchange for providing us 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, and events and/or other services they provide to us and our affiliates. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we and other parties may allow other non-cash incentives and compensation to be paid to these selling firms. These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ between 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 Contracts or other criteria.

Overrides were paid on certain products to our affiliates, TFA and Life Investors Financial Group, in 2011.

No specific charge is assessed directly to Contract owners or the separate account to cover commissions and other incentives or payments described above are not charged directly to Contract owners or the separate account. We do intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses and incentives we pay, however through fees and charges deducted under the Contract and other corporate revenue.

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 differences may create an incentive for the selling firm or its sales representatives to recommend or sell this Contract to you. You may wish to take such incentives into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Contracts.

Non-Participating Contract

The Contract does not participate or share in the profits or surplus earnings of Western Reserve. No dividends are payable on the Contract.

Variations in Contract Provisions

Certain provisions of the Contracts may vary from the descriptions in this prospectus in order to comply with different state laws. See your Contract for variations since any such state variations will be included in your Contract or in riders or endorsements attached to your Contract.

The fixed account is not available in all states. If your Contract was issued in New Jersey or Washington, you may not direct or transfer any money to the fixed account.

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 Contract.

Financial Statements

APPENDIX C

GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT RIDER

(NO LONGER AVAILABLE)

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider assures you of a minimum level of income in the future by guaranteeing a “minimum annuitization value.” By selecting this rider, you are guaranteed a future minimum level of income under the rider's fixed or variable payment options based on the minimum annuitization value, regardless of the performance of the underlying investment portfolios. (If you select the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider, we may restrict the subaccounts to which you may allocate purchase payments or transfer annuity value. Any such restriction will not affect the allocations you made before we put the restriction in place.)

You may purchase the rider when we issue your Contract or anytime before the annuitant's 85th birthday.

You can annuitize under the rider (subject to the conditions described below) using the greater of the annuity value or the minimum annuitization value. If you annuitize under the rider before the 10th rider anniversary, the following restrictions will apply:

 

 

you may not annuitize under the Term Certain fixed annuity payment option;

 

 

we will adjust the age(s) we use to determine the applicable annuity factors by adjusting them down by one year for each complete year that the rider is short of being in force for 10 years at the time you annuitize. This will reduce the amount of your annuity payments.

See Annuity Payment Options Under the Rider below, and Annuity Factor Age Adjustment in the SAI for more information.

Minimum Annuitization Value. If you purchase the rider at issue, the minimum annuitization value is the annuity value on that date. If you purchase the rider at a future date, the minimum annuitization value would be:

 

 

the annuity value on the date the rider is issued, plus

 

 

any additional premiums paid after the rider is issued, minus

 

 

an adjustment for any partial withdrawals made after the date the rider is issued

 

 

accumulated at the annual growth rate, minus

 

 

any premium taxes.

The annual growth rate is currently 6% per year. For Contracts issued in a few states, this rate will be less than 6%. We may, at our discretion, change the rate in the future for new riders, including upgrades, but the rate will never be less than 3% per year. Once the rider is added to your Contract, the annual growth rate, the rider charge, the rider charge waiver threshold, the guaranteed minimum payment fee and the waiting period before you can annuitize under the rider, without the annuity factor age adjustment, will not change unless you upgrade the rider. Partial withdrawals may reduce the minimum annuitization value on a basis greater than dollar-for-dollar. See the SAI for more information.

The minimum annuitization value is used solely to calculate the annuity payments and charges under the rider and adjustments to partial withdrawals. This value does not establish or guarantee an annuity value or guarantee performance of any subaccount. If you choose to annuitize under the rider, we will use the greater of your annuity value or your minimum annuitization value (less any outstanding loan amount and any loan interest you owe) to determine the amount of your fixed or variable annuity payments under the rider. The minimum annuitization value may not be used to annuitize with any of the annuity payment options under the Contract.

GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT RIDER – (Continued)

Annuity Payment Options Under the Rider. The only payment options available under the rider are the following fixed and variable annuity options:

Fixed Annuity Payment Options:

 

 

Term Certain - Level payments will be made for 15 years based on a guaranteed interest rate of 3%. This interest rate will not increase even if current interest rates are higher when you annuitize. This annuity payment option is not available if you annuitize under the rider before the 10th anniversary of rider purchase or later upgrade.

Variable Annuity Payment Options:

 

 

Life Income - An election may be made for “No Period Certain,” “10 Years Certain,” or “Installment Refund.” Installment Refund is an annuity payment option that guarantees the return of the minimum annuitization value. The period certain for an installment refund is the shortest period, in months, that guarantees the return of the minimum annuitization value. Payments will be made as long as the annuitant is living. In the event of the death of the annuitant prior to the end of the chosen period certain, the remaining period certain payments will be continued to the beneficiary.

 

 

Joint and Full Survivor - An election may be made for “No Period Certain,” “10 Years Certain,” or “Installment Refund.” Payments will be made as long as either the annuitant or joint annuitant is living. In the event of the death of both the annuitant and joint annuitant prior to the end of the chosen period certain, the remaining period certain payments will be continued to the beneficiary.

Before you annuitize under the rider’s variable annuity options, you may transfer values from one subaccount to another. In the future, we may restrict the subaccounts to which you may transfer annuity value. After the maturity date, no transfers may be made to or from the fixed account, and we reserve the right to limit transfers among the subaccounts to once per year.

Note Carefully: The death benefit payable after you annuitize under the rider will be affected by the annuity option you choose.

If:

 

 

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

 

 

the annuitant dies, for example, before the due date of the second annuity payment;

Then:

 

 

we will make only one annuity payment and there will be no death benefit payable.

Annuity Factor Age Adjustment. If you annuitize under one of the rider's variable options before the 10th rider anniversary, the first payment will be calculated with an annuity factor age adjustment which subtracts up to 9 years from the annuitant's age (age 85 if the annuitant's age is at least 85). This results in all payments being lower than if an annuity factor age adjustment was not used. See the SAI for information concerning the calculation of the initial payment. The age adjustment is as follows:

GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT RIDER – (Continued)

Minimum Annuitization Value Upgrade. You can elect, in writing, to upgrade the minimum annuitization value to the current annuity value at any time after the first rider anniversary and before the annuitant's 85th birthday (earlier if required by your state). For your convenience, we will put the last date to upgrade on page one of the rider.

If you elect to upgrade, the current rider will terminate, we will assess the rider charge, and a new rider will be issued. The new rider will have a new rider date, a new waiting period before you can annuitize under the rider, a new annual growth rate, a new rider charge waiver threshold and new guaranteed benefits and charges. The rider anniversary will be measured from the new rider's issue date, so that annuitizing prior to the new rider's 10th anniversary will result in an annuity factor age adjustment, and the term certain fixed annuity payment option may not be selected. The benefits and charges under the new rider may not be as advantageous as the previous rider's benefits and charges prior to upgrading.

It generally will not be to your advantage to upgrade unless your annuity value exceeds your minimum annuitization value on the applicable rider anniversary.

Conditions to Annuitize Under the Rider. You can only annuitize under the rider within 30 days after a rider anniversary. In the case of an upgrade of the minimum annuitization value, you cannot annuitize before the new rider's first rider anniversary. You cannot annuitize under the rider after the 30-day period following the rider anniversary after the annuitant's 89th birthday (earlier if required by your state). For your convenience, we will put the last date to annuitize under the rider on page one of the rider.

Note Carefully:

 

 

You may only annuitize under the rider at the times indicated above. If you annuitize at any other time, you lose the benefit of the rider.

 

 

If you annuitize under the rider before the 10th rider anniversary, there will be an annuity factor age adjustment. See Annuity Factor Age Adjustment above.

Payments under the Rider. If you elect a variable annuity payment option under the rider, we guarantee that future annuity payments under the rider will never be less than the initial annuity payment. See the SAI for information concerning the calculation of the initial payment. We will also "stabilize'' the payments (hold them constant) during each rider year.

During the first rider year after you annuitize under the rider, each payment will equal the initial payment. On each rider anniversary thereafter, the variable annuity payment will increase or decrease (but never below the initial payment) depending on the performance of the subaccounts you selected, and then be held constant at that amount for that rider year. The payments starting on each rider anniversary will equal the greater of the initial variable annuity payment or the payment that can be supported by the number of annuity units in the subaccounts on the rider anniversary. We will calculate each subsequent payment using a 5% assumed investment return. The portfolio in which you are invested must grow at a rate greater than the 5% assumed investment return, plus the separate guaranteed minimum payment fee of 1.10% and mortality and expense risk and administrative charges of 1.40% annually, in order to increase the dollar amount of variable annuity payments. Annuity payments may decline in value if investment returns do not grow at this rate, but your payment will never be less than the initial payment. See the SAI for additional information concerning how payments are determined under the rider.

Rider Charge Before Annuitization. Prior to annuitization, a rider charge, currently 0.35% annually of the minimum annuitization value, is deducted from the annuity value on each rider anniversary and pro rata on the termination date of the rider (including Contract surrender and upgrades of the minimum annuitization value). The annual rider charge after an upgrade is currently 0.35%, but we reserve the right to increase the rider charge after upgrade to 0.50%. Once the rider is issued, the rider charge will not change. Keep in mind that the current rider charge (0.35%) may be higher if you upgrade the rider at a later date because we may increase the rider charge after upgrade up to the maximum (0.50%). We deduct the rider charge from the fixed account and from each subaccount in proportion to the amount of annuity value in each account. This charge is deducted even if the annuity value exceeds the minimum annuitization value.

 

68


Table of Contents

GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT RIDER – (Continued)

We will waive the rider charge on any rider anniversary if the annuity value exceeds the rider charge waiver threshold (guaranteed 2.0) times the minimum annuitization value. For instance, if your annuity value on the seventh rider anniversary is $100,000, your minimum annuitization value is $45,000 and the rider charge waiver threshold is 2.0, we will waive the rider charge on that anniversary because $100,000 is greater than $90,000 ($45,000 X 2.0). We may, at our discretion, change the rider charge waiver threshold in the future if you choose to upgrade the minimum annuitization value, or for future issues of the rider, but it will never be greater than 2.5.

Rider Charge After Annuitization. If you annuitize under a variable annuity payment option of the rider, a daily guaranteed minimum payment fee, equal to an annual rate of 1.10% of the daily net asset values in the subaccounts, plus the mortality and expense risk and administrative charges of 1.40%, are reflected in the amount of the variable payments you receive. We may change the guaranteed minimum payment fee in the future, if you choose to upgrade the minimum annuitization value or for future issues of the rider, but it will never be greater than 2.10%.

Termination. You have the option to terminate the rider at any time after the first rider anniversary by sending us written notification to our administrative office. You have the option not to annuitize under the rider but we will not refund any charges you have paid and you will not be able to use the minimum annuitization value. The rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:

 

 

annuitization that is not under the rider;

 

 

the date you elect to upgrade (although a new rider will be issued);

 

 

the date we receive your complete written request to terminate the rider;

 

 

the date your Contract terminates or is surrendered;

 

 

30 days following the rider anniversary after the annuitant's 94th birthday (earlier if required by your state); or

 

 

the date of death of annuitant when the death benefit proceeds are payable to the beneficiary.

However, if the change in annuitant is due to the death of an annuitant who is not an owner, then you may name a new annuitant and the then-current rider will remain in effect.

The rider does not establish or guarantee annuity value or guarantee performance of any subaccount. Because the rider guarantees a minimum level of income, the level of income that it guarantees may be less than the level that might be provided by application of the annuity value at the Contract's applicable annuity factors. Therefore, the rider should be regarded as a safety net. The costs of annuitizing under the rider include the guaranteed minimum payment fee, the mortality and expense risk and administrative charges and also the lower levels inherent in the annuity tables used for the minimum payouts. These costs should be balanced against the benefits of a minimum payout level.

The rider may vary by state and is not available in all states. We recommend that you consult your tax advisor before you purchase this rider.

APPENDIX D

ADDITIONAL EARNINGS RIDER (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)

The optional Additional Earnings Rider may pay an Additional Earnings Rider Amount when the owner who is the annuitant dies and death benefit proceeds are paid under your Contract. When you buy this rider, you should name each owner as an annuitant.

We will pay the Additional Earnings Rider Amount under this rider only if:

 

 

the rider is in force at the time of death;

 

 

death benefit proceeds are payable under the Contract; and

 

 

there are rider earnings when the death benefit proceeds are calculated.

You may elect the rider when we issue the Contract, or on any Monthiversary during the accumulation period before you reach age 75. The date you add the rider to the Contract is the rider date.

Additional Earnings Rider Amount. The Additional Earnings Rider Amount is equal to the additional earnings factor (see below), multiplied by the lesser of:

 

 

the rider earnings on the date we calculate the death benefit proceeds (the death report day); or

 

 

the rider earnings limit (shown on your rider) multiplied by the rider base on the death report day.

The maximum we will pay under this rider is $1 million.

Rider earnings equal:

 

 

the death benefit proceeds payable under the Contract; minus

 

 

the rider base, which is:

 

   

the annuity value of the Contract on the rider date (or the death benefit proceeds on the rider date, if greater); plus

 

   

the purchase payments made after the rider date; less

 

   

the amount of each partial withdrawal made after the rider date, multiplied by the ratio of the rider base to the annuity value immediately before the partial withdrawal.

Example: On May 1, 2002, a person aged 60 purchases a Contract with the Additional Earnings Rider for a $40,000 purchase payment (the rider base). The rider has an additional earnings factor of 40% and rider earnings limit of 250%. The maximum benefit we will pay under the rider is $1,000,000.

At the time of the owner’s death, the death benefit proceeds are valued at $75,000. To calculate the benefit we will pay under the Additional Earnings Rider (that is, the Additional Earnings Rider Amount), first we subtract the rider base ($40,000) from the death benefit proceeds to get the rider earnings ($75,000 - $40,000 = $35,000).

Then we perform several additional calculations. The benefit we pay under the Additional Earnings Rider is the lesser of a), b), or c):

 

  a) The rider earnings ($35,000) multiplied by the additional earnings factor (40%) = $14,000;

 

  b) The rider earnings limit (250%) multiplied by the rider base ($40,000) multiplied by the additional earnings factor (40%) = $40,000; or

 

  c) The maximum benefit under the rider = $1,000,000.

 

70


Table of Contents

ADDITIONAL EARNINGS RIDER – (Continued)

The Additional Earnings Rider Amount (that is, the benefit we will pay under the Additional Earnings Rider) is $14,000. The total death benefit under these circumstances (that is, the death benefit proceeds plus the Additional Earnings Rider Amount) is $89,000 ($75,000 + $14,000).

For additional examples, see the SAI.

We will not pay a benefit under the Additional Earnings Rider if there are no rider earnings on the date we calculated the death benefit proceeds. If you purchased your Contract as part of a 1035 exchange or if you added the rider after you purchased the Contract, rider earnings do not include any gains before the rider is added to your Contract. As with all insurance, you may not realize a benefit from the purchase of this rider.

The additional earnings factors are as follows:

 

Owner/Annuitant’s Age on the

Rider Date

   Percent  

0-65

     40

66-67

     35

68-69

     30

70-75

     25

For purposes of computing taxable gains payable on the death benefit proceeds, both the death benefit proceeds payable under the Contract and the Additional Earnings Rider Amount will be considered.

See the SAI for an example which illustrates the Additional Earnings Rider Amount payable as well as the effect of a partial withdrawal on the Additional Earnings Rider Amount.

Continuation. If an owner who is the annuitant dies during the accumulation period and the deceased owner's spouse continues or elects to continue the Contract, and the annuity value is adjusted to equal the death benefit proceeds, the deceased owner's spouse will have the following options:

 

 

terminate the Additional Earnings Rider and receive a one-time annuity value increase equal to the Additional Earnings Rider Amount. All future withdrawal charges on this amount, if any, will be waived; or

 

 

continue the Additional Earnings Rider (with fees) without the one-time annuity value increase. An Additional Earnings Rider Amount would then be paid upon the death of the spouse who continued the Contract. Because we have not issued a new rider, but simply continued the rider purchased by the deceased owner, we will calculate the Additional Earnings Rider Amount using the additional earnings factor and other calculation factors applicable to the original rider.

Alternate Election. If an owner who is the annuitant dies during the accumulation period and one or more of the beneficiaries elects to receive the complete distribution of the death benefit proceeds under alternate payment option (1) or (3), then that beneficiary will have the following options:

 

 

terminate the Additional Earnings Rider and receive a one-time increase in death benefit proceeds equal to a proportionate share of the Additional Earnings Rider Amount. All future withdrawal charges on this amount, if any, will be waived; or

 

 

continue the Additional Earnings Rider (with fees) without the one-time annuity value increase. An Additional Earnings Rider Amount would then be paid in a lump sum upon the death of the beneficiary and the Contract will terminate. This amount will be calculated using the additional earnings factor and other calculation factors determined under the original rider. The required annual distributions under the alternate payment elections are likely to reduce significantly the value of this rider during this period.

See Alternate Payment Election Options Before the Maturity Date on page 39.

Rider Fee. There is an annual charge during the accumulation period of 0.35% of your Contract's annuity value. This charge will not be increased once the rider has been issued. We deduct the rider charge from your annuity

ADDITIONAL EARNINGS RIDER – (Continued)

value on each rider anniversary and pro rata on the termination date of the rider. We will deduct this fee from each subaccount and the fixed account in proportion to the amount of the annuity value in each account. We do not assess this charge during the income phase. The rider fee is deducted even during periods when the rider would not pay any benefit because there are no rider earnings.

Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:

 

 

we receive your written cancellation notice at our administrative office;

 

 

you annuitize or surrender the Contract; or

 

 

the Additional Earnings Rider Amount is paid or added to the annuity value under a continuation.

Once you terminate the rider, you may re-select it during the accumulation period, if we are still offering the rider; however, a new rider will be issued and the Additional Earnings Rider Amount will be redetermined. Please note that if you terminate the rider and then re select it, the rider will only cover gains, if any, since it was re-selected, and the terms and charges of the new rider may differ from those of the terminated rider.

It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may take a position that charges for the Additional Earnings Rider should be treated as taxable distributions to you. Although we do not believe that a rider charge under the Contract should be treated as a taxable distribution, you should consult your tax advisor before selecting this rider under the Contract.

The Additional Earnings Rider may vary by state and may not be available in all states.

Owner

The Contract shall belong to the owner upon issuance of the Contract after completion of an application and delivery of the initial purchase payment. While the annuitant is living, the owner may: (1) assign the Contract; (2) surrender the Contract; (3) amend or modify the Contract with Western Reserve’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 Contract. The exercise of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary; and of an owner’s spouse in a community or marital property state.

A successor owner may be named in the Contract application or in a written notice to our administrative and service office. The successor owner will become the new owner upon the owner’s death, if the owner is not the annuitant and dies before the annuitant. If no successor owner survives the owner and the owner dies before the annuitant, the owner’s estate will become the owner.

An owner may change the ownership of the Contract in a written notice to our administrative and service office. When this change takes effect, all rights of ownership in the Contract will pass to the new owner. A change of ownership may have tax consequences.

When there is a change of owner or successor owner, the change will take effect as of the date Western Reserve accepts the written notice at our administrative and service office. We assume no liability for any payments made, or actions taken before a change is accepted, and shall not be responsible for the validity or effect of any change of ownership. Changing an owner or naming a new successor owner cancels any prior choice of successor owner, but does not change the designation of the beneficiary or the annuitant.

Entire Contract

The Contract and any endorsements or riders thereon and the Contract application constitute the entire contract between Western Reserve and the owner. All statements in the application are representations and not warranties. No statement will cause the Contract to be void or to be used in defense of a claim unless contained in the application.

Misstatement of Age or Gender

If the age or gender of the annuitant has been misstated, Western Reserve will change the annuity benefit payable to that which the purchase payments would have purchased for the correct age or gender. The dollar amount of any underpayment Western Reserve makes shall be paid in full with the next payment due such person or the beneficiary. The dollar amount of any overpayment Western Reserve makes 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 may be established at any time by the submission of proof Western Reserve finds satisfactory.

Annuity Payment Options

During the lifetime of the annuitant and prior to the maturity date, the owner may choose an annuity payment option or change the election. If no election is made prior to the maturity date, annuity payments will be made under Payment Option D as Variable Life Income with 10 years of guaranteed payments.

Thirty days prior to the maturity date, we will mail to the owner a notice and a form upon which the owner can select allocation options for the annuity proceeds as of the maturity date. We reserve the right to limit transfers to once per year after the maturity date. If a variable annuity payment option is chosen, the owner must include in the written notice the subaccount allocation of the annuity proceeds as of the maturity date. If we do not receive that form or other written notice acceptable to us prior to the maturity date, the Contract’s existing allocation options will remain in effect. The owner may also, prior to the maturity date, select or change the frequency of annuity payments, which may be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, provided that the annuity payment option and payment frequency provides for payments of at least $20 per period. If none of these is possible, a lump sum payment will be made.

Determination of the First Variable or Fixed Payment. The amount of the first variable or fixed annuity payment is determined by multiplying the annuity proceeds times the appropriate rate for the annuity option selected. The rates are based on the Society of Actuaries 1983 Individual Mortality Table A with projection Scale G, and variable rates are based on a 5% effective annual assumed investment return and assuming a maturity date in the year 2000. Gender based mortality tables will be used unless prohibited by law.

Table of Contents

The amount of the first annuity payment depends upon the gender (if consideration of gender is allowed under state law) and adjusted age of the annuitant. The adjusted age is the annuitant’s actual age nearest birthday, at the maturity date, adjusted as follows:

 

Maturity Date

  

Adjusted Age

Before 2001

   Actual Age

2001-2010

   Actual Age minus 1

2011-2020

   Actual Age minus 2

2021-2030

   Actual Age minus 3

2031-2040

   Actual Age minus 4

After 2040

   As determined by Western Reserve

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. The amount of variable annuity payments after the first will increase or decrease according to the annuity unit value which reflects the investment experience of the selected subaccount(s). Each variable annuity payment after the first will be equal to the number of units attributable to the Contract in each selected subaccount multiplied by the annuity unit value of that subaccount on the date the payment is processed. The number of such units is determined by dividing the first payment allocated to that subaccount by the annuity unit value of that subaccount on the date the first annuity payment is processed.

Death Benefit

Death of Owner. Federal tax law requires that if any owner (including any successor owner who has become a current owner) dies before the maturity date, then the entire value of the Contract must generally be distributed within five years of the date of death of such owner. Special rules apply where (1) the spouse of the deceased owner is the sole beneficiary, (2) an owner is not a natural person and the primary annuitant dies or is changed, or (3) any owner dies after the maturity date. See Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences of this SAI for a detailed description of these rules. Other rules may apply to qualified Contracts.

If an owner is not the annuitant and dies before the annuitant:

 

 

if no successor owner is named and alive on the death report day, the owner’s estate will become the new owner. The cash value must be distributed within five years of the former owner’s death;

 

 

if the successor owner is alive and is the owner’s spouse, the Contract will continue with the spouse as the new owner; or

 

 

if the successor owner is alive and is not the owner’s spouse, the successor owner will become the new owner. The cash value must be distributed either:

 

   

within five years of the former owner’s death; or

 

   

over the lifetime of the new owner, if a natural person, with payments beginning within one year of the former owner’s death; or

 

   

over a period that does not exceed the life expectancy (as defined by the Code and regulations adopted under the Code) of the new owner, if a natural person, with payments beginning within one year of the former owner’s death

To determine payments, we may use the “account-based” method under which we recalculate the amount of the payment each year by dividing the remaining unpaid proceeds by the beneficiary’s current life expectancy, with payments beginning with one year of the deceased owner’s death.

Death of Annuitant. Due proof of death of the annuitant is proof that the annuitant died prior to the commencement of annuity payments. Upon receipt of this proof and an election of a method of settlement and return of the Contract, the death benefit generally will be paid within seven days, or as soon thereafter as we have 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 unless a settlement agreement is effective at an owner’s death preventing such election.

If the annuitant who is not an owner dies during the accumulation period and an owner is a natural person then the owner will automatically become the annuitant and this Contract will continue. If an owner and the annuitant are not the same person and the owner dies during the accumulation period, and if a successor owner is named and is the owner’s spouse, then the successor owner will automatically become the new annuitant and this Contract will continue. If the annuitant dies during the accumulation period and an owner is either (1) the same individual as the annuitant; or (2) other than a natural person, then the death benefit proceeds are payable to the beneficiary in a lump sum distribution.

Table of Contents

If the annuitant who is an owner dies before the maturity date, and the sole beneficiary is not the deceased annuitant’s spouse who elects to continue the Contract, (1) the death benefit must be distributed within five years of the date of the annuitant/deceased owner’s death, or (2) payments must begin no later than one year after the annuitant/deceased owner’s death and must be made (i) for the beneficiary’s lifetime or (ii) for a period certain (so long as any certain period does not exceed the beneficiary’s life expectancy). Payments may be made in accordance with the “account-based” method under which we recalculate the amount of the payment each year by dividing the remaining unpaid proceeds by the beneficiary’s current life expectancy, with payments beginning within one year of the deceased owner’s death. Death benefit proceeds which are not paid to or for the benefit of a natural person must be distributed within five years of the date of the annuitant/deceased owner’s death. If the sole beneficiary is the annuitant/deceased owner’s surviving spouse, such spouse may elect to continue the Contract as the new annuitant and owner instead of receiving the death benefit. (See Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.) We will increase the annuity value as of the death report day to equal the amount of the death benefit proceeds as of the death report day, if greater.

If a beneficiary elects to receive the death benefit proceeds under alternate payment option (1) or 2(ii) above, then we will: (a) allow partial withdrawals and transfers among the subaccounts and the fixed account; (b) deduct the transfer fee from each transfer after the first 12 transfers during the Contract year; (c) deduct the annual Contract charge each Contract year; and (d) not permit payment of the death benefit proceeds under the annuity provisions of the Contract upon complete distribution.

The beneficiary may name a new beneficiary for payment of the death benefit proceeds. If no new beneficiary is named, such payment will be made to the contingent beneficiary if named by the owner. If no new beneficiary or contingent beneficiary is named, such payment will be made to the beneficiary’s estate.

Beneficiary. The beneficiary designation in the application will remain in effect until changed. An owner may change the designated beneficiary(ies) during the annuitant’s lifetime by sending written notice to us at our administrative and service office. A beneficiary’s consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. (If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, an owner may then designate a new beneficiary.) The change will take effect as of the date an owner signs the written notice. We will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received at our administrative and service office. Unless we receive written notice from an owner to the contrary, no beneficiary may assign any payments under the Contract before such payments are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments under the Contract will be subject to the claims of any beneficiary’s creditors.

Assignment

During the annuitant’s lifetime and prior to the maturity date (subject to any irrevocable beneficiary’s rights) the owner may assign any rights or benefits provided by a nonqualified Contract. The assignment of a Contract will be treated as a distribution of the annuity value for federal tax purposes. Any assignment must be made in writing and accepted by us. An assignment will be effective as of the date the request is received at our administrative and service office and is accepted by us. We assume no liability for any payments made or actions taken before a change is accepted and shall not be responsible for the validity or effect of any assignment.

With regard to qualified Contracts, ownership of the Contract generally may be assigned, but any assignment may be subject to restrictions, penalties, taxation as a distribution, or even prohibition under the Code, and must be permitted under the terms of the underlying retirement plan.

Proof of Age, Gender and Survival

We may require proper proof of age and gender of any annuitant or joint annuitant prior to making the first annuity payment. Prior to making any payment, we may require proper proof that the annuitant or joint annuitant is alive and legally qualified to receive such payment. If required by law to ignore differences in gender of any payee, annuity payments will be determined using unisex rates.

Non-Participating

The Contract will not share in Western Reserve’s surplus earnings; no dividends will be paid.

Employee and Agent Purchases

The Contract may be acquired by an employee or registered representative of any broker/dealer authorized to sell the Contract or by their spouse or minor children, or by an officer, director, trustee or bona fide full-time employee of Western Reserve or its affiliated companies or their spouse or minor children. In such a case, we may credit an amount equal to a percentage of each purchase payment to the Contract due to lower acquisition costs we experience on those purchases. We may offer, in our discretion, certain employer sponsored savings plans, reduced or waived fees and charges including, but not limited to, the withdrawal charge and the annual Contract 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 we are not presently aware which could result in reduced sales or distribution expenses. Credits to the Contract or reductions in these fees and charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any owner.

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 Contract, based on the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, proposed and final Treasury regulations there under, 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 federal gift, estate or any other 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 Contract

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 such account must be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury regulations. The Treasury regulations issued under Section 817(h) (Treas. Reg. § 1.817-5) apply a diversification requirement to each of the subaccounts of the separate account. The separate account, through the funds and their portfolios, intends to comply with the diversification requirements of the Treasury.

Section 817(h) applies to variable annuity contracts other than pension plan contracts. The regulations reiterate that the diversification requirements do not apply to pension plan contracts. All of the qualified retirement plans (described below) are defined as pension plan contracts for these purposes. Notwithstanding the exception of qualified contracts from application of the diversification rules, the investment vehicle for Western Reserve’s qualified Contracts (i.e., the funds) will be structured to comply with the diversification standards because it serves as the investment vehicle for nonqualified contracts as well as qualified contracts.

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 published guidance in this area does not address certain aspects of the Contracts, we believe that the owner of a Contract should not be treated as the owner of the separate account assets. We reserve the right to modify the Contracts to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent owners of the Contracts from being treated as the owners of the underlying separate account assets.

Distribution Requirements. The Code also requires that nonqualified contracts contain specific provisions for distribution of contract proceeds upon the death of an owner. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires that such contracts provide that if any owner dies on or after the maturity date and before the entire interest in the contract 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 maturity date, the entire interest in the contract must generally be distributed within five years after such owner’s date of death or be applied to provide an immediate annuity under which payments will begin within one year of such owner’s death and will be made for the life of the “designated beneficiary” or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the “designated beneficiary”. However, if such owner’s death occurs prior to the maturity date, and such owner’s surviving spouse is the “designated beneficiary”, then the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner. 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 the owner. Nonqualified contracts 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 Contracts satisfy all such Code requirements. The provisions contained in the Contracts will be reviewed and modified if necessary to maintain their compliance with the Code requirements when clarified by regulation or otherwise.

The right of a spouse to continue the Contract, and all Contract provisions relating to spousal continuation are available only to a person who meets the definition of “spouse” under federal law. 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, the spousal continuation provisions of this Contract will not be available to such partners or same-sex marriage spouses. Consult a tax advisor for more information on this subject.

The following discussion is based on the assumption that the Contract 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 contract until such amounts are withdrawn or distributed. For this purpose, the assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the contract value, and in the case of a qualified contract, 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.

Table of Contents

Non-Natural Persons. Pursuant to Section 72(u) of the Code, a nonqualified contract 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 contract value over the “investment in the contract”. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective purchaser of the contract that is not a natural person should discuss these with a competent tax adviser.

Withholding. The portion of any distribution under a Contract 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 and properly notifies us. For certain qualified Contracts, certain distributions are subject to mandatory withholding. The withholding rate varies according to the type of distribution and the owner’s tax status. For qualified Contracts, “eligible rollover distributions” from section 401(a) plans, section 403(a) annuities and section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities and governmental section 457 deferred compensation 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, hardship distributions, or distributions in a specified annuity form. 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.

Incidental Death Benefits. The Contract may include optional death benefit features, the value of which may exceed the value of the Contract or premium payments made under the Contract. Federal tax laws limit the value of such incidental death benefit in tax-qualified pension, profit-sharing, 457 and 403(b) plans. Further, the Internal Revenue Service has not reviewed this Contract for qualification as an IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether any death benefits available under the Contract comport with qualification requirements. The actuarial present value of death benefit options and riders elected may need to be considered in calculating minimum required distributions. Consult a qualified tax adviser before purchasing an optional death benefit.

Qualified Contracts. The qualified Contract 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 Contracts and our Contract administration procedures. Owners, participants and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the Contract comply with applicable law.

For qualified plans under sections 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 the plan participant is a “5 percent owner” (as defined in the Code), or in the case of an IRA (other than a Roth IRA) and for IRAs under section 408(a), 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 Contract that satisfy applicable tax rules.

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. Consult a tax advisor.

We make no attempt to provide more than general information about use of the Contract with the various types of retirement plans. Purchasers of Contracts for use with any retirement plan should consult their legal counsel and tax advisor regarding the suitability of the Contract.

Individual Retirement Annuities. In order to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuity (“IRA”) under section 408(b) of the Code, a Contract must contain certain provisions: (i) the owner must be the annuitant; (ii) the Contract generally is not transferable by the owner, e.g., the owner may not designate a new owner, designate a contingent owner or assign the Contract as collateral security; (iii) subject to special rules, the total purchase payments for any tax year on behalf of any individual may not exceed a specified dollar amount for the year, except in the case of a rollover amount or contribution under sections 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8) or 408(d)(3) of the Code; (iv) annuity payments or partial withdrawals must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age 70 1/2 and must be made in a specified form and manner; (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 annuity value; (vii) the entire interest of the owner is non-forfeitable; and (viii) premiums must not be fixed. Contracts intended to qualify as traditional IRAs 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.

Table of Contents

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. A special rule permits taxation of Roth IRA conversions made during the 2010 tax year to be split between 2011 and 2012. You should consult a tax advisor before combining any converted amounts with any other Roth IRA contributions, including any other conversion amounts from other tax years. The Roth IRA is available to individuals with earned income and whose modified adjusted gross income is under a specified dollar amount for the year. The amount per individual that may be contributed to all IRAs (Roth and traditional) may not exceed a specified dollar amount for the year. Secondly, the distributions are taxed differently. The Roth IRA offers tax-free distributions when made five tax years after the first contribution to any Roth IRA of the individual and made after attaining age 59 1/2, or 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 premature withdrawal penalty tax unless an exception applies. A 10% penalty tax may apply to amounts attributable to a conversion from an IRA if the amounts are distributed within the five taxable years beginning with the year in which the conversion was made. Unlike the traditional IRA, there are no minimum required distributions during the owner’s lifetime; however, required distributions at death are generally the same.

Section 403(b) Plans. Under section 403(b) of the Code, payments made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase Contracts for their employees generally 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 Contract includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the purchase payments or the annuity 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). Because the death benefit may exceed this limitation, employers using the Contract in connection with such plans should consult their tax advisor. 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, (ii) earnings on those contributions, and (iii) earnings on amounts attributed to elective contributions held as of the end of the last year 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. For Contracts issued after 2008, amounts attributable to non-elective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified in the employer’s section 403(b) plan.

If your Contract was issued pursuant to a 403(b) plan, starting January 1, 2009 we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that withdrawals 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 withdrawal or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the Contract, and transactions under the Contract 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 record keeper, and other product providers.

Corporate Pension, 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 Contracts to accumulate retirement savings. Adverse tax consequences to the plan, the participant or both may result if the Contract is assigned or transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments.

Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457 of the Code, while not actually providing for a qualified plan (as that term is used in the Code), 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 Contracts 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 the sponsoring employer, and are subject to the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. Depending on the terms of the particular plan, a non-governmental employer may be entitled to draw on deferred amounts for purposes unrelated to its section 457 plan obligations.

Taxation of Western Reserve

Western Reserve 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 us 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 Contract. 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 the separate account.

INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE

Accumulation Units

Allocations of a purchase 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 purchase 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 a fund less any applicable charges or fees.

Upon allocation to the selected subaccount of the separate account, purchase 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 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 business.

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 WRL 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.

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 (that is, the portfolio performance minus subaccount fees and charges including the mortality and expense risk and administrative charges that will equal an annual rate of 1.40%) exceeds the assumed interest rate of 5% annually. Conversely, annuity unit values fall if the net investment performance of the subaccount is less than the assumed rate. The value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount was established at $10.00 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 that subaccount on the immediately preceding business day;

 

(b) is the net investment factor for that subaccount for the valuation period; and

 

(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 Contract 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 portfolio 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 portfolio 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 we determine to have resulted from the investment operations of the subaccount.

 

  (ii) is the net asset value of a portfolio 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 charge and the administrative charge. This factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.40% of the daily net asset value of the portfolio share held in that subaccount.

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 maturity date. See Annuity Payment Options – Determination of the First Variable and Fixed Payment, which contains a table for determining the adjusted age of the annuitant.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

Money Market Yields

Yield - The yield quotation set forth in the prospectus for the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount is for the seven days ended on the date of the most recent balance sheet of the separate account included in the registration statement, and is computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes and income other than investment income, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one unit in the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount at the beginning of the period, subtracting a hypothetical charge reflecting deductions from owner accounts, and dividing the difference by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, and multiplying the base period return by (365/7) with the resulting figure carried to at least the nearest hundredth of one percent.

Table of Contents

Effective Yield - The effective yield quotation for the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount set forth in the prospectus is for the seven days ended on the date of the most recent balance sheet of the separate account included in the registration statement. The effective yield is computed by determining the net change, exclusive of capital changes and income other than investment income, in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing subaccount having a balance of one unit in the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount at the beginning of the period. A hypothetical charge, reflecting deductions from owner accounts, is subtracted from the balance. The difference is divided by the value of the subaccount at the beginning of the base period to obtain the base period return, which is then compounded by adding 1. Next, the sum is raised to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and 1 is subtracted from the result. The following formula describes the computation:

EFFECTIVE YIELD = ({BASE PERIOD RETURN + 1} 365/7) – 1

The effective yield is shown at least to the nearest hundredth of one percent.

Hypothetical Charge - For purposes of the yield and effective yield computations, the hypothetical charge reflects all fees and charges that are charged to all owner accounts in proportion to the length of the base period including the annual Contract charge, calculated on the basis of an average Contract size. The yield and effective yield quotations do not reflect any deduction for premium taxes or transfer charges that may be applicable to a particular Contract, nor do they reflect the withdrawal charge that may be assessed at the time of withdrawal in an amount ranging up to 8% of the requested withdrawal amount. Nor do the yield calculations take into account the surrender charges imposed under the Contract or the charges for any optional riders. The specific withdrawal charge percentage applicable to a particular withdrawal depends on the length of time purchase payments have been held under the Contract and whether withdrawals have been made previously during that Contract year. (See Section 5. Expenses—Withdrawal Charge of the prospectus.) No fees or sales charges are assessed upon annuitization under the Contracts, except premium taxes. Realized gains and losses from the sale of securities, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of assets held by the Transamerica Money Market VP subaccount and the fund are excluded from the calculation of yield.

The yield on amounts held in the TA AEGON 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 TA AEGON Money Market subaccount actual yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP, the types and quality of portfolio securities held by Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP and its operating expenses. Because of the charges and deductions imposed under a Contract, the yield for the TA AEGON Money Market Subaccount will be lower than the yield for the corresponding money market portfolio.

Total Returns

The total return quotations set forth in the prospectus for all subaccounts, except the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount, holding assets for the Contracts during the accumulation period are average annual total return quotations for the one, five, and ten-year periods (or, if a subaccount has been in existence for a period of less than one, five or ten years, for such lesser period) ended on the date of the most recent balance sheet of the separate account, and for the period from the first date any subaccount investing in an underlying portfolio commenced operations until the aforesaid date. The quotations are computed by determining the average annual compounded rates of return over the relevant periods that would equal the initial amount invested to the ending redeemable value, adjusted to reflect current subaccount charges, according to the following formula:

P(1 + T)n = ERV

Where:

 

P    =    a hypothetical initial payment of $1,000
T    =    average annual total return
n    =    number of years
ERV    =    ending redeemable value of a hypothetical $1,000 payment made at the beginning of each period at the end of each period.

For purposes of the total return quotations for all of the subaccounts, except the TA AEGON Money Market subaccount, the calculations take into account all current fees that are charged under the Contract to all owner accounts during the accumulation period. Such fees include the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative charge, and the annual Contract charge. The calculations also assume a complete surrender as of the end of the particular period; therefore, the withdrawal charge is deducted. The calculations do not reflect any deduction for premium taxes or any transfer or withdrawal charges that may be applicable to a particular Contract.

Other Performance Data

We may present the total return data stated in the prospectus on a non-standardized basis. This means that the data will not be reduced by the withdrawal charge under the Contract and that the data may be presented for different time periods and for different purchase payment amounts. Non-standardized performance data will only be disclosed if standardized performance data for the required periods is also disclosed.

 

12


Table of Contents

We may also disclose cumulative total returns and average annual compound rates of return (T) for the subaccounts based on the inception date of the subaccounts investing in the underlying portfolios. We calculate cumulative total returns according to the following formula:

(1 + T)n - 1

 

Where:

     T and n are the same values as above

In addition, we may present historic performance data for the portfolios since their inception reduced by some or all of the fees and charges under the Contract. Such adjusted historic performance includes data that precedes the inception dates of the subaccounts. This data is designed to show the performance that would have resulted if the Contract had been in existence during that time.

For instance, we may disclose average annual total returns for the portfolios reduced by some or all fees and charges under the Contract, as if the Contract had been in existence. Such fees and charges include the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative charge and the annual Contract charge. Such data may or may not assume a complete surrender of the Contract at the end of the period.

Advertising and Sales Literature

From time to time we may refer to the diversifying process of asset allocation based on the Modern Portfolio Theory developed by Nobel Prize winning economist Harry Markowitz. The basic assumptions of Modern Portfolio Theory are: (1) the selection of individual investments has little impact on portfolio performance, (2) market timing strategies seldom work, (3) markets are efficient, and (4) portfolio selection should be made among asset classes. Modern Portfolio Theory allows an investor to determine an efficient portfolio selection that may provide a higher return with the same risk or the same return with lower risk.

When presenting the asset allocation process we may outline the process of personal and investment risk analysis including determining individual risk tolerances and a discussion of the different types of investment risk. We may classify investors into four categories based on their risk tolerance and will quote various industry experts on which types of investments are best suited to each of the four risk categories. The industry experts quoted may include Ibbotson Associates, CDA Investment Technologies, Lipper Analytical Services and any other expert which has been deemed by us to be appropriate. We may also provide an historical overview of the performance of a variety of investment market indices, the performance of these indices over time, and the performance of different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, cash equivalents, etc. We may also discuss investment volatility including the range of returns for different asset classes and over different time horizons, and the correlation between the returns of different asset classes. We may also discuss the basis of portfolio optimization including the required inputs and the construction of efficient portfolios using sophisticated computer-based techniques. Finally, we may describe various investment strategies and methods of implementation, the periodic rebalancing of diversified portfolios, the use of dollar cost averaging techniques, a comparison of the tax impact of purchase payments made on a “before tax” basis through a tax-qualified plan with those made on an “after tax” basis outside of a tax-qualified plan, and a comparison of tax-deferred versus non tax-deferred accumulation of purchase payments.

As described in the prospectus, in general, an owner is not taxed on increases in value under a Contract until a distribution is made under the Contract. As a result, the Contract will benefit from tax deferral during the accumulation period, as the annuity value may grow more rapidly than under a comparable investment where certain increases in value are taxed on a current basis. From time to time, we may use narrative, numerical or graphic examples to show hypothetical benefits of tax deferral in advertising and sales literature.

APPENDIX A

GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT RIDER – HYPOTHETICAL ILLUSTRATIONS

(NO LONGER AVAILABLE)

This discussion assumes the rider is included in the Contract.

Illustrations of Guaranteed Minimum Monthly Payments. Under a variable annuity payment option, the amounts shown below are hypothetical guaranteed minimum monthly payment amounts under the rider for a $100,000 purchase payment when annuity payments do not begin until the rider anniversary indicated in the left-hand column. These figures assume that there were no subsequent purchase payments, loans or partial withdrawals, that there were no premium taxes and that the $100,000 premium is annuitized under the rider. Six different annuity payment options are illustrated: a male annuitant, a female annuitant and a joint and survivor annuity, each on a life only and a life with 10-year certain basis. These hypothetical illustrations assume that the annuitant is (or both annuitants are) 60 years old when the Contract is issued, that the annual growth rate is 6% (once established, an annual growth rate will not change during the life of the rider), and that there was no upgrade of the minimum annuitization value. The figures below are based on an assumed investment return of 3%. Subsequent payments will never be less than the amount of the first payment (although subsequent payments will be calculated using a 5% assumed investment return and a 1.10% guaranteed minimum payment fee plus the 1.40% mortality and expense risk and administrative charges, provided no upgrade in minimum annuitization value has occurred).

Illustrations of guaranteed minimum monthly payments based on other assumptions will be provided upon request.

Life Only = Life Annuity with No Period Certain Life 10 = Life Annuity with 10 Years Certain

These hypothetical illustrations should not be deemed representative of past or future performance of any underlying variable investment option.

Partial withdrawals will affect the minimum annuitization value as follows: Each rider year, partial withdrawals up to the limit of the minimum annuitization value on the last rider anniversary multiplied by the annual growth rate reduce the minimum annuitization value on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Partial withdrawals over this limit will reduce the minimum annuitization value by an amount equal to the excess partial withdrawals amount multiplied by the ratio of the minimum annuitization value immediately prior to the excess partial withdrawal to the annuity value immediately prior to the excess partial withdrawal.

The amount of the first payment provided by the rider will be determined by multiplying each $1,000 of minimum annuitization value by the applicable annuity factor shown on Schedule I of the rider. The applicable annuity factor depends upon the annuitant’s (and joint annuitant’s, if any) gender (or without regard to gender if required by law), age, and the rider payment option selected and is based on a guaranteed interest rate of 3% and the “Annuity 2000” mortality table improved to the year 2005 with projection Scale G. Subsequent payments will be calculated as described in the rider using a 5% assumed investment return. Subsequent payments may fluctuate annually in accordance with the investment performance of the subaccounts. However, subsequent payments are guaranteed to never be less than the initial payment.

The scheduled payment on each subsequent rider anniversary after annuitization using the rider will equal the greater of the initial payment or the payment supportable by the annuity units in the selected subaccounts. The supportable payment is equal to the number of variable annuity units in the selected subaccounts multiplied by the variable annuity unit values in those subaccounts on the date the payment is made. The variable annuity unit values used to calculate the supportable payment will assume a 5% assumed investment return. If the supportable payment at any payment date during a rider year is greater than the scheduled payment for that Contract year, the excess will be used to purchase additional annuity units. Conversely, if the supportable payment at any payment date during a rider year is less than the scheduled payment for that rider year, then there will be a reduction in the number of annuity units credited to the Contract to fund the deficiency. Purchases and reductions of annuity units will be allocated to each subaccount on a proportionate basis.

 

16


Table of Contents

We bear the risk that we will need to make payments if all annuity units have been used in an attempt to maintain the scheduled payment at the initial payment level. In such an event, we will make all future payments equal to the initial payment. Once all the annuity units have been used, the amount of your payment will not increase or decrease and will not depend upon the performance of any subaccounts. To compensate us for this risk, the guaranteed minimum payment fee, mortality and expense risk and administrative charges will be deducted.

Illustrations of Annuity Payment Values Between the Contract and the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider. The following graphs have been prepared to show how different rates of return affect your variable annuity payments over time when you can annuitize under the Contract or the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit Rider. The graphs incorporate hypothetical rates of return and we do not guarantee that you will earn these returns for any one year or any sustained period of time. The graphs are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent past or future investment returns.

Your variable annuity payment may be more or less than the income shown if the actual returns of the subaccounts are different from those illustrated. Since it is very likely that your investment returns will fluctuate over time, you can expect that the amount of your annuity payment will also fluctuate. The total amount of annuity payments ultimately received will, in addition to the investment performance of the subaccounts, also depend on how long you live and whether you choose to annuitize under the rider.

Another factor that determines the amount of your variable annuity payment is the assumed investment return (“AIR”). Annuity payments will increase from one variable annuity payment calculation date to the next if the performance of the portfolios underlying the subaccounts, net of all charges, is greater than the AIR and will decrease if the performance of the portfolios underlying the subaccounts, net of all charges, is less than the AIR. If you annuitize under the rider, we guarantee that each subsequent payment will be equal to or greater than your initial payment.

The Hypothetical Illustration based on 10% Gross Rate graph below illustrates differences in monthly variable annuity payments assuming a 10% investment return between annuitizing under the Contract and the rider.

 

 

The graph for the Contract assumes an annuity value (“AV”) of $150,000; the entire annuity value was allocated to variable annuity payments; the AIR is 5%; the payment option is Single Life Annuity with 10 Year Certain; a 70-year-old male, and separate account charges of 1.40%. This results in the receipt of an initial annuity payment in the amount of $1,060.50.

 

 

The graph for the rider assumes a Minimum Annuitization Value (“MAV”) of $180,000; the entire MAV was allocated to variable annuity payments; the AIRs are 3% for the initial payment and 5% for all subsequent payments; the payment option is Single Life Annuity with 10 Year Certain; a 70-year-old male, and separate account charges of 2.50%. This results in the receipt of an initial annuity payment in the amount of $1,054.80.

 

 

The graph illustrates gross returns of 10.00% (net returns after expenses and after AIR deduction are 3.60% for the Contract and 2.50% for the rider).

The Hypothetical Illustration based on 0% Gross Rate graph above illustrates differences in monthly variable annuity payments assuming 0% investment return between selecting annuitization under the Contract and rider. The assumptions are the same as the above except the 0% gross rate. The graph illustrates gross returns of 0.00% (net returns after expenses and after the AIR deduction) are –6.4% for the Contract and -7.5% for the rider.

The annuity payment amounts shown reflect the deduction of all fees and expenses. Actual fees and expenses under the Contract and the rider may be higher or lower, will vary from year to year, and will depend on how you allocate among the subaccounts. The separate account charge is assumed to be at an annual rate of 1.40% of average daily net assets for the Contract, which increases to 2.50% of the average daily net assets if you annuitize under one of the rider variable payment options.

Upon request, we will furnish you with a customized illustration based on your individual circumstances and choice of annuity options.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors

Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011. 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 Ohio Department of Insurance, 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 Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio at December 31, 2011 and 2010, or the results of its operations or its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011.

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 Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Ohio Department of Insurance. 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 Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2010 and 2009 in response to new accounting standards, the Company changed its method of accounting for collateral received related to certain financial transactions, deferred income taxes, and investments in loan-backed and structured securities.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (the Company) is a stock life insurance company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON USA, LLC (AEGON). AEGON is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.

Nature of Business

The Company operates predominantly in the variable universal life and variable annuity areas of the life insurance business. The Company is licensed in 49 states, District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Guam. Sales of the Company’s products are through financial planners, independent representatives, financial institutions and stockbrokers. The majority of the Company’s new life insurance, and a portion of new annuities, are written through an affiliated marketing organization.

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 Ohio Department of Insurance, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The more significant variances from GAAP are:

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

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 earnings for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income (OCI) for those designated as available-for-sale. Fair value for GAAP is based on indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models. For statutory reporting, the NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (SVO) or determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method.

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 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. An other-than-temporary impairment is also considered to have occurred if the discounted estimated future cash flows are less than the amortized cost basis of the security.

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.

For GAAP, 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 high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used. 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 OCI, net of applicable taxes.

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, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of OCI rather than to income as required for fair value hedges, and 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.

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 the changes in the fair value reported in income.

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 amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than to income as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation allowances are established for mortgage loans, 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 would be reported in the statement of operations 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.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted”, primarily net deferred tax assets and agent debit balances, 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 they 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 a policy reserve account using deposit accounting, without recognizing premium income or benefits expense. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits. Under GAAP, for universal life policies,

Table of Contents

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

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 amounts deemed to be uncollectible have been written off through a charge to operations. In addition, a liability for reinsurance balances would be established 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.

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: The Company computes deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle (SSAP) No. 10R, Income Taxes – Revised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10. 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.

Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies.

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: For securities lending programs, cash collateral received which may be sold or repledged by the Company is reflected as a one-line entry on the balance sheet (securities lending reinvested collateral assets) and a corresponding liability is established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral. Collateral received which may not be sold or repledged is not recorded on the Company’s balance sheet. Under GAAP the reinvested collateral is included within invested assets (i.e. it is not one-line reported).

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 policies 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.

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. These securities 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 or fair value based upon their NAIC rating.

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 initial 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.

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. 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 effect 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. 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. For structured 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.

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, and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

If the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a common stock or a preferred stock is other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the statement of operations. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether a decline in value is other-than-temporary: (a) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer; (b) whether or not the Company has made a decision to sell the investment; and (c) the length of time and extent to which the value has been below cost.

Common stocks of affiliated noninsurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying audited GAAP equity. 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.

There are no restrictions on common or preferred stock.

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.

Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost net of encumbrances. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties.

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.

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, preferred and common 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 real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Further, income is not accrued when collection is uncertain. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not exclude any investment income due and accrued with respect to such practices.

For dollar 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

Overview: The Company may use various derivative instruments (options, caps, floors, swaps, foreign currency forwards and futures) to manage risks related to its ongoing business operations. On the transaction date of the derivative instrument, the Company designates the derivative as either (A) hedging (fair value, foreign currency fair value, cash flow, foreign currency cash flow, forecasted transactions or net investment in a foreign operation), (B) replication, (C) income generation or (D) held for other investment/risk management activities, which do not qualify for hedge accounting under SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SSAP No. 86).

Derivative instruments used in hedging relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the hedged item (amortized cost or fair value). Derivative instruments used in replication relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the cash instrument and the replicated asset (amortized cost or fair value). Derivative instruments used in income generation relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the associated covered asset or underlying interest to which the derivative indicates (amortized cost or fair value). Derivative instruments held for other investment/risk management activities receive fair value accounting.

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 is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit rating of ‘A’ or better. 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, then the Company is required to post assets.

Instruments: Variance swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the risk created when the Company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These variance swaps are similar to volatility options where the underlying index provides for the market value movements. Variance swaps do not accrue interest. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of initiating the variance swap and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. The variance swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If 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 underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Futures contracts are used to hedge the liability risk associated when the Company issues products providing the customer a return based on various global market indices. Futures are marked to market on a daily basis whereby a cash payment is made or received by the Company. These payments are recognized as realized gains or losses in the financial statements.

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. Premiums received 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 income.

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 required by law.

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and refunds portions of premiums beyond the date of death. Surrender values on policies do not exceed the corresponding benefit reserves.

Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification. Additional reserves are established when the results of cash flow testing under various interest rate scenarios

indicate the need for such reserves or the net premiums exceed the gross premiums on any insurance in force.

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 by formula.

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based principally upon the 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2 to 5.5 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Methods. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method.

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioner’s 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 life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 4 to 11.25 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.

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.

The liabilities related to guaranteed investment contracts and policyholder funds left on deposit with the Company generally are equal to fund balances less applicable surrender charges.

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 statement 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 supplemental contracts and certain annuity contracts. Deposits and withdrawals on these contracts are recorded as a direct increase or decrease, respectively, to the liability balance, and are not reflected as premiums, benefits or changes in reserve in the statement of operations.

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 in force blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and amortized into income as earnings emerge on the reinsured block of business. 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.

Separate Accounts

Separate accounts held by the Company primarily represent funds which are administered for individual variable universal life and variable annuity contracts. Assets held in trust for purchases of variable universal life and variable annuity contracts and the Company’s corresponding obligation to the contract owners are shown separately in the balance sheet. 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. The separate accounts, held for individual policyholders, do not have any minimum guarantees, and the investment risks associated with the fair value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder.

The Company received variable contract premiums of $349,011, $378,162 and $456,377, in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. All variable account contracts are subject to discretionary withdrawal by the policyholder at the fair value of the underlying assets less the current surrender charge. Separate account contract holders have no claim against the assets of the general account.

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 Company received $312,161, $319,607 and $342,329, in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to fees associated with investment management, administration and contractual guarantees for separate accounts.

Stock Option Plan, Long-Term Incentive Compensation and Stock Appreciation Rights Plans

The Company’s employees participate in various stock appreciation rights (SAR) plans issued by AEGON. 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. No benefit or expense relating to these plans was recorded by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. The Company recorded a benefit of $7 for the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, the Company records an adjustment to paid in surplus for the income tax benefit related to these plans. The Company did not record an adjustment to paid-in surplus for the income tax effect related to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets – Revised. The revisions require the Company to recognize a liability equal to the fair value of the guarantee at its inception, even if the likelihood of payment under the guarantee is remote. Additional disclosures are also required for guarantees. Guarantees made to/or on behalf of a wholly-owned subsidiary and related party guarantees that are considered “unlimited” (for example, in response to a rating agency’s requirement to provide a commitment to support) are exempt from the initial liability recognition, but are subject to the new disclosure requirements. The adoption of this new accounting principle had no material impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position and did not require additional disclosures regarding these guarantees.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 100, Fair Value Measurements, to incorporate the provisions of ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This revision requires, for annual statutory financial statements only, a new disclosure for assets and liabilities for which fair value is not measured and reported in the statement of financial position but is otherwise disclosed. The adoption of these revisions had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. See Note 2 for further details.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company will adopt revisions to SSAP No. 100. These revisions require new disclosures of fair value hierarchy and the method used to obtain the fair value measurement, a new footnote that summarizes hierarchy levels by type of financial instrument and gross presentation of purchases, sales, issues and settlements within the reconciliation for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted non-substantive changes to SSAP No. 32, Investments in Preferred Stock (including investments in preferred stock of subsidiary, controlled, or affiliated entities). The amendment was made to clarify the definition of preferred stock. Under the revised SSAP No. 32, a preferred stock is defined as any class or series of shares the holders of which have any preference, either as to the payment of dividends or distribution of assets on liquidation, over the holder of common stock [as defined in SSAP No. 30, Investments in Common Stock (excluding investments in common stock of subsidiary, controlled, or affiliated entities)] issued by an entity. This revised definition had no impact to the Company.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments – Revised. This statement modified the conditions required for recognizing a liability for insurance-related assessments and required additional disclosures to be made in the Notes to the Financial Statements. The adoption of this accounting principle had no financial impact to the Company.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted revisions to certain paragraphs of SSAP No. 43R – Loan-backed and Structured Securities to clarify the accounting for gains and losses between AVR and IMR. The revisions clarify that an AVR/IMR bifurcation analysis should be performed when SSAP No. 43R securities are sold (not just as a result of impairment). These changes were applied on a prospective basis and had no financial impact to the Company upon adoption.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 43R to clarify the definitions of loan-backed and structured securities. The clarified guidance was applied prospectively and had no financial impact to the Company upon adoption.

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 DTLs after considering the character (i.e., ordinary versus capital) of the DTAs and DTLs. The 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, 2011, 2010 and 2009. As a result of this election, surplus increased by $67,503, $70,527 and $46,066 at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which has been reflected as an aggregate write-in for other than special surplus funds on the 2011 financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company will begin computing current and deferred income taxes in accordance with SSAP No. 101, Income Taxes, a replacement of SSAP No. 10R and SSAP No. 10. This statement establishes statutory accounting principles for current and deferred federal and foreign income taxes and current state income taxes. The effect of this statement is not expected to be material to the financial statements.

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company adopted modifications made to SSAP No. 91R, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. As a result of these modifications, for securities lending programs, collateral received by the Company’s agent that can be sold or re-pledged is reported on the balance sheet. Collateral received and reinvestment of that collateral by the Company are reflected as a one-line entry on the balance sheet (securities lending reinvested collateral asset). A separate liability is also established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral (payable for securities lending). This change in accounting principle increased assets and liabilities by $193,926 as of December 31, 2010 with no impact to surplus. See Note 8 for further details.

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company adopted SSAP No. 100, including recent modifications and clarifications made to the standard. This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosure requirements about fair value, and it applies under other statutory accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The adoption of this new accounting principle had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. See Note 2 for further details.

Effective September 30, 2009, the Company adopted SSAP No. 43R. 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 as of July 1, 2009. This change in accounting principle reduced surplus by a net amount of $10 ($6 net of tax), which includes impairments of $4,270 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 $4,260, which have been removed from the component of change in net unrealized gains/losses.

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 13 for further discussion of the Company’s consideration of subsequent events.

In September 2008, the NAIC issued SSAP No. 99. 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 previously impaired investments were reported in accordance with SSAP No. 26, Bonds, excluding Loan-backed and Structured Securities, SSAP No. 32 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 financial statements at adoption.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 and 2009 financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation.

2. 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 Stocks: The NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or to determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method. The fair values of bonds and stocks are 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, estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments.

Short-Term Notes Receivable from Affiliates: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair value.

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.

Policy Loans: Carrying value of policy loans approximates their fair value.

Securities Lending Reinvested Collateral: The cash collateral from securities lending is reinvested in various short term and long term debt instruments. The fair values of these investments are determined using the methods described above under Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments and Bonds and Stocks.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The estimated fair values of interest rate swaps, including interest rate and currency swaps, are based on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions.

Investment Contract Liabilities: Fair values for the Company’s liabilities under investment contracts 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.

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

Deposit-Type Contracts: The carrying amounts of deposit-type contracts reported in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values.

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.

Receivable from/Payable to Parent, Subsidiaries and Affiliates: The carrying amount of receivable from/payable to affiliates approximates their fair value.

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, which minimizes exposure to changing interest rates through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

The following sets forth a comparison of the estimated fair values and carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments:

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.

Determination of fair value

The fair values of financial instruments are determined by management after taking into consideration several sources of data. When available, the Company uses quoted market prices in active markets to determine the fair value of its investments. The Company’s valuation policy utilizes a pricing hierarchy which dictates that publicly available prices are initially sought from indices and third-party pricing services. In the event that pricing is not available from these sources, those securities are submitted to brokers to obtain quotes. Lastly, securities are priced using internal cash flow modeling techniques. These valuation methodologies commonly use reported trades, bids, offers, issuer spreads, benchmark yields, estimated prepayment speeds, and/or estimated cash flows.

To understand the valuation methodologies used by third-party pricing services, the Company reviews and monitors their applicable methodology documents. Any changes to their methodologies are noted and reviewed for reasonableness. In addition, the Company performs in-depth reviews of prices received from third-party pricing services on a sample basis. The objective for such reviews is to demonstrate that the Company can corroborate detailed information such as assumptions, inputs and methodologies used in pricing individual securities against documented pricing methodologies. Only third-party pricing services and brokers with a substantial presence in the market and with appropriate experience and expertise are used.

Each month, the Company performs an analysis of the information obtained from indices, third-party services, and brokers to ensure that the information is reasonable and produces a reasonable estimate of fair value. The Company considers both qualitative and quantitative factors as part of this analysis, including but not limited to, recent transactional activity for similar securities, review of pricing statistics and trends, and consideration of recent relevant market events. Other controls and procedures over pricing received from indices, third-party pricing services, or brokers include validation checks such as exception reports which highlight significant price changes, stale prices or un-priced securities.

Fair value hierarchy

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100. 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

 

28


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

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.

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.

The Company accounts for its investments in affiliated common stock using the equity method of accounting; as such, they are not included in the following disclosures as they are not carried at fair value on the balance sheet.

Short-term investments are classified as Level 2 as they are carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Derivatives classified as Level 2 represent over-the-counter (OTC) contracts valued using pricing models based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows, directly observed prices from exchange-traded derivatives, other OTC trades or external pricing services.

The following tables summarize the changes in assets and liabilities classified in Level 3 for 2011 and 2010:

For impairment policies related to non-structured and structured securities, refer to Note 1 under Investments. Asset-backed securities (ABS), Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and Residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) are securitizations of underlying pools of assets. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s ABS, CMBS and RMBS portfolios had fair values less than the carrying amounts of $7,543, $915 and $1,573, respectively.

All ABS, CMBS and RMBS assets are monitored and reviewed at least quarterly. Where ratings have declined to below investment grade on nonhousing related ABS, the individual debt securities have been modeled to determine if cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows and resulting impairments have been taken. For non-conduit CMBS, the Company’s internal asset specialist works closely with the Company’s real estate valuation group to determine underlying asset valuation and risk. For housing related ABS, conduit CMBS and RMBS, detailed cash flow models using the current collateral pool and capital structure on the portfolio are updated and reviewed.

Model output is generated under base and several stress-case scenarios. The Company’s internal asset specialists utilize widely recognized industry modeling software to perform a loan-by-loan, bottom-up approach to modeling. Key assumptions used in the models are projected defaults, loss severities and prepayments. Each of these key assumptions varies greatly based on the significantly diverse characteristics of the current collateral pool for each security. Once the entire pool is modeled, results are then closely analyzed by the Company’s internal asset specialist to determine whether or not our particular tranche or holding is at risk for not collecting all contractual cash flows, taking into account the seniority and other terms of the tranches held. If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows and the Company does not have the intent to sell the tranche or holding and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows.

As the remaining unrealized losses in the ABS, CMBS and RMBS portfolios relate to holdings where the Company expects to receive full principal and interest, the Company does not consider the underlying investments to be impaired as of December 31, 2011.

Subprime 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 subprime mortgages directly. The Company’s exposure to subprime mortgages is through ABS. These securities are pools of mortgages that have been securitized and offered to investors as asset-backed securities, where the mortgages are collateral. Most of the underlying mortgages within the pool have credit scores below 660 at issuance. Therefore, the ABS has been classified by the Company as a subprime mortgage position. Also included in the Company’s total subprime mortgage position are ABS with second lien mortgages as collateral. The second lien mortgages may not necessarily have subprime credit scores; however, the Company has included these ABS in its subprime position as it is the second priority in terms of repayment. The Company does not have any “direct” residential mortgages to subprime borrowers outside of the ABS structures.

There were no loan-backed securities with a recognized OTTI due to intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold during 2011 or 2010. The following table represents aggregate totals for loan-backed securities with a recognized OTTI due to intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold, in which the security is written down to fair value at December 31, 2009.

The Company estimated the utilization of the remaining state transferable tax credits by projecting a future tax liability based on projected premium, tax rates and tax credits and comparing the 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 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, 2011, the Company does not have any contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive fair value. At December 31,

4. Reinsurance

The Company reinsures portions of certain insurance policies which exceed its established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of the 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 obligations under the reinsurance treaty.

Premiums earned reflect the following reinsurance amounts:

The Company would experience no reduction in surplus at December 31, 2011 if all reinsurance agreements were cancelled.

On April 26, 2011, AEGON N.V announced the disposition of its life reinsurance operations, Transamerica Reinsurance to SCOR SE, a Societas Europaea organized under the laws of France (SCOR), which was effective August 9, 2011.

The life reinsurance business conducted by Transamerica Reinsurance was written through several of AEGON N.V.’s U.S. and international affiliates, all of which remain AEGON N.V. affiliates following the closing, except for Transamerica International Reinsurance Ireland, Limited, an Irish reinsurance company (TIRI). In preparation of the divesture of the life reinsurance business to SCOR, during the second quarter of 2011, the Company, as well as other affiliated life insurance companies, recaptured certain business that had been reinsured to TIRI, subsequently ceding the majority of the business recaptured to Transamerica International Re (Bermuda) Ltd. (TIRe), an affiliate. As a result of these transactions, the net impact to the Company was a pre-tax loss of $94,262, which was included in the statement of operations, and a net of tax gain of $63,421 which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus. Additional information surrounding these transactions is outlined below.

Effective April 1, 2011, the Company recaptured the traditional life business that was previously reinsured on a coinsurance funds withheld basis to TIRI, and subsequently reinsured this business to TIRe. The Company paid recapture consideration of $29,300 and released the associated funds withheld liability of $22,729 associated with the recapture, and received an initial ceding commission of $27,400 and established a funds withheld liability of $23,061 on the new cession to TIRe. Life, claim reserves and other assets associated with this block that were exchanged were $86,197, $9,563 and $2,344, respectively. The Company released into income a previously deferred unamortized gain resulting from the original cession of this business to TIRI in the amount of $175 ($120 net of tax) resulting in a pre-tax loss of $99,812 on the recapture which has been included in the statement of operations. The cession to TIRe resulted in a net of tax gain of $63,541, which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.

Effective April 1, 2011, TIRI, recaptured the BOLI/COLI catastrophic mortality risk that had previously been retro-ceded to the Company. The Company released life and claim reserves of $5,507 and $43, respectively, with no consideration exchanged, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $5,550 which has been included in the statement of operations.

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company entered into a reinsurance agreement with an affiliate to cede on a 100% quota share basis a block of variable universal life business on a modified coinsurance basis. Reserves on the block were $1,013,110, with assets backing the block comprised of $853,669 of separate account assets and $159,441 of general account assets. The Company received consideration of $193,000, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $193,000, which was credited directly to unassigned surplus on a net of

tax basis in the amount of $125,450. During 2011, the Company amortized $21,792 of this gain into earnings on a net of tax basis.

During 2011, the Company did not amortize any deferred gains from reinsurance transactions occurring prior to 2009. During 2010 and 2009, the Company amortized deferred gains from reinsurance transactions occurring prior to 2009 of $24 and $8,331, for each respective year, into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus.

Letters of credit held for all unauthorized reinsurers as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 were $273,000 and $107,200, respectively.

The Company did not record a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The valuation allowance is primarily related to deferred tax assets of a capital character that in the judgment of management, are not more likely than not to be realized.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company joins in a consolidated income tax return filing with its indirect parent company, Transamerica Corporation, 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. A tax return has not yet been filed for 2011.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had no operating loss, capital loss or tax credit carryforwards available for tax purposes.

The Company incurred income taxes during 2011, 2010 and 2009 of $10,274 and $112,498 and $39,561 respectively, which will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses.

The amount of tax contingencies calculated for the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is $434 and $2,144, respectively. The total amount of tax contingencies that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate is $434. 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 years ending December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is $107, $87 and $61, respectively. The total interest payable balance as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is $77 and $184, 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 2004. The examination for the years 2005 through 2006 have been completed and resulted in tax return adjustments that are currently undergoing final calculation at appeal. The examination for the years 2007 through 2008 has been completed and resulted in tax return adjustments that are currently being appealed. An examination is already in progress for the years 2009 and 2010. The Company believes that there are adequate defenses against or sufficient provisions established related to any open or contested tax positions.

6. Policy and Contract Attributes

A portion of the Company’s policy reserves and other policyholders’ funds relate to liabilities established on a variety of the Company’s products, primarily separate accounts that are not subject to significant mortality or morbidity risk; however, there may be certain restrictions placed upon the amount of funds that can be withdrawn without penalty. The amount of reserves on these products, by withdrawal characteristics, is summarized as follows:

The legal insulation of separate account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s separate account statement included legally insulated assets of $6,517,738 and $7,401,665, respectively. The assets legally insulated from general account claims at December 31, 2011 are attributed to the following products:

Some separate account liabilities are guaranteed by the general account. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the general account of the Company had a maximum guarantee for separate account liabilities of $777,659 and $667,392, respectively. To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account paid risk charges of $11,446 and $12,187 to the general account in 2011 and 2010, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the general account of the Company had paid $12,975 and $20,835, respectively toward separate account guarantees.

The Company does not participate in securities lending transactions within the separate account.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline XLIII (AG 43) which replaces Actuarial Guidelines 34 and 39. AG 43 specifies statutory reserve requirements for variable annuity contracts with benefit guarantees (VACARVM) and without benefit guarantees and related products. The AG 43 reserve calculation includes variable annuity products issued after January 1, 1981. 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 a decrease in reserves and an increase in net income of $11,412 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 SSA was determined using the assumptions and methodology prescribed in AG 43 for determining the SSA.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2011 and 2010, the gross premium and loading amounts related to these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected), are as follows:

 

     Gross      Loading      Net

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had insurance in force aggregating $3,678,555 and $4,531,669 respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums required by the valuation standards established by the Ohio Department of Insurance. The Company established policy reserves of $23,412 and $25,534 to cover these deficiencies at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in the premium deficiency calculation, in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts.

7. Capital and Surplus

The Company is subject to limitations, imposed by the Ohio Department of Insurance, on the payment of dividends to its parent company, AEGON. 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 statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (b) net income 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 2012, without the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities, is $27,520.

On May 16, 2011, the Company paid common stock dividends of $250,000 to its parent company, AEGON. The amount consisted of $23,100 ordinary cash dividend and $226,900 extraordinary cash dividend. The Company received dividends of $11,165 and $7,502 from its subsidiaries, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. and Transamerica Fund Services, Inc., respectively, during 2011. The Company made a capital contribution of $597 to Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. during 2011.

On December 23, 2010, the Company paid a common stock dividend of $100,000 to its parent company. The entire amount was considered an extraordinary dividend. On December 30, 2009, the Company paid a common stock dividend of $65,000 to its parent company. Of this amount, $23,400 was considered an ordinary dividend and $41,600 was considered an extraordinary dividend. The Company received approval from the Ohio Department of Insurance to make these dividend payments.

Life and health insurance companies are subject to certain RBC requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life or health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2011, the Company meets the minimum RBC requirements.

8. Securities Lending

The Company participates in an agent-managed securities lending program. The Company receives collateral equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned government/other domestic securities 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/other domestic securities. 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.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, securities in the amount of $86,663 and $187,773 were on loan under securities lending agreements. The collateral the Company received from securities lending was in the form of cash and on open terms. This cash collateral is reinvested and is not available for general corporate purposes. The reinvested cash collateral had a fair value of $89,423 and $193,683 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

For securities lending, the Company’s sources of cash that it uses to return the cash collateral is dependent upon the liquidity of the current market conditions. Under current conditions, the Company has securities with a par value of $89,630 (fair value of $89,423) that are currently tradable securities that could be sold and used to pay for the $89,589 in collateral calls that could come due under a worst-case scenario.

The Company recognizes pension expense equal to its allocation from AEGON. The pension expense is allocated among the participating companies based on International Accounting Standards 19 (IAS 19), Accounting for Employee Benefits and based upon actuarial participant benefit calculations. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s eligible annual compensation during the highest five consecutive years of employment. Pension expenses were $1,255, $1,442 and $1,518 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act of 1974.

The Company’s employees also participate in a defined contribution plan sponsored by AEGON which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Employees of the Company who customarily work at least 1,000 hours during each calendar year and meet the other eligibility requirements are participants of the plan. Participants may elect to contribute up to twenty-five percent of their salary to the plan. The Company will match an amount up to three percent of the participant’s salary. Participants may direct all of their contributions and plan balances to be invested in a variety of investment options. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act of 1974. Expense related to this plan was $532, $702 and $736 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

AEGON sponsors supplemental retirement plans to provide the Company’s senior management with benefits in excess of normal pension benefits. The plans are noncontributory and benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation level. The plans are unfunded and nonqualified under the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, AEGON has established incentive deferred compensation plans for certain key employees of the Company. The Company’s allocation of expense for these plans for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was insignificant. AEGON also sponsors an employee stock option plan/stock appreciation rights for employees of the Company 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 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 postretirement plan expenses are charged to affiliates in accordance

with an intercompany cost sharing arrangement. The Company expensed $210, $192 and $201 for the years ended 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

10. Related Party Transactions

The Company shares certain officers, employees and general expenses with affiliated companies.

The Company is party to a Cost Sharing agreement between AEGON companies, providing for needed services. The Company is also party to a Management and Administrative and Advisory agreement with AEGON USA Realty Advisors, Inc. whereby the Advisor serves as the administrator and advisor for the Company’s mortgage loan operations by administering the day-to-day real estate and mortgage loan operations of the Company. AEGON USA Investment Management, LLC acts as a discretionary investment manager under an Investment Management Agreement with the Company. The Company provides office space, marketing and administrative services to certain affiliates. The net amount received by the Company as a result of being a party to these agreements was $33,717, $18,600 and $13,174 during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Company has an administration service agreement with Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. to provide administrative services to the AEGON/Transamerica Series Trust. The Company received $24,411, $23,672 and $21,446 from this agreement during 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Receivables from and payables to affiliates and intercompany borrowings bear interest at the thirty-day commercial paper rate. At December 31, 2011, and 2010, the Company reported a net amount of $24,665 and $7,123, respectively, due to affiliates. Terms of settlement require that these amounts are settled within 90 days. During 2011, 2010 and 2009, the Company paid net interest of $39, $38 and $132, respectively, to affiliates.

At December 31, 2009 the Company had a short-term intercompany note receivable of $27,000 from AEGON due by September 29, 2010 at .25% interest. In accordance with SSAP No. 25, Accounting for and Disclosures about Transactions with Affiliates and Other Related Parties, this note was reported on the balance sheet as a short-term investment. The note was repaid prior to its due date.

In prior years, the Company purchased life insurance policies covering the lives of certain employees of the Company from an affiliate. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the cash surrender value of these policies was $73,446 and $71,167, respectively.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is a party to legal proceedings involving a variety of issues incidental to its business. Lawsuits may be brought in nearly any federal or state court in the United

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

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 or results of operations.

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 Association. 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 $1,664 and $3,448 with no offsetting premium tax benefit at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies. The guaranty fund expense was $(1,824), $95 and $58 for 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company has contingent commitments for $392 and $1,151 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to provide additional funding for various joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies, which includes LIHTC commitments of $384 and $1,024, respectively.

The Company is required by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to maintain assets on deposit with brokers for futures trading activity done on behalf of the Company. The broker has a secured interest with priority in the pledged assets, however, the Company has the right to recall and substitute the pledged assets. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, the Company pledged assets in the amount of $17,084 and $16,342 to satisfy the requirements of futures trading accounts.

12. Sales, Transfer, and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had dollar repurchase agreements outstanding in the amount of $4,977. The Company did not participate in dollar repurchase agreements at December 31, 2010. The collateral the Company received from dollar repurchase agreements was in the form of cash and on open terms.

13. 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 3, 2012, 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). As of April 3, 2012, the Company has not identified any Type I or Type II subsequent events for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners

of WRL Series Annuity Account

Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the subaccounts of WRL Series Annuity Account (the Separate Account) (comprised of the TA JPMorgan Core Bond, TA Asset Allocation – Conservative, TA Asset Allocation – Growth, TA Asset Allocation – Moderate Growth, TA Asset Allocation – Moderate, TA International Moderate Growth, TA MFS International Equity, TA Clarion Global Real Estate Securities, TA JPMorgan Tactical Allocation, TA JPMorgan Mid Cap Value, TA JPMorgan Enhanced Index, TA BlackRock Large Cap Value, TA AEGON High Yield Bond, TA PIMCO Total Return, TA Morgan Stanley Capital Growth, TA T.

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, 2011 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 the WRL Series Annuity Account at December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations and changes in net assets for the periods indicated thereon, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Investments

Net purchase payments received by the Separate Account are invested in the portfolios of the Mutual Funds as selected by the contract owner. Investments are stated at the closing net asset values per share on December 31, 2011.

Realized capital gains and losses from sales of shares in the Separate Account 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 Mutual Funds are included in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Dividend Income

Dividends received from the Mutual Fund investments are reinvested to purchase additional mutual fund shares.

Accounting Policy

The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (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 Mutual 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 are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Mutual Fund in which the subaccounts invest.
** These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. These 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 Mutual Fund have been excluded.
*** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Mutual Fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Effective for 2011, total return is shown for expense ratios that represent a full year only. When new expense ratios are added, the total returns shown correspond to the prior year high/low expense ratio.

5. Administrative and Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

WRL deducts a daily administrative charge equal to an annual rate ranging from 0% to .40% of the contract owner’s account for administrative expenses. WRL deducts an annual charge, not to exceed $35, proportionately from the subaccounts’ unit values. An annual charge ranging from .85% to 2.50% is deducted (based on the death benefit selected) from the unit values of the subaccounts of the Separate Account for WRL’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 Mutual Fund. Charges for administrative and mortality and expense risk are an expense of the Separate Account. Charges reflected above are those currently assessed and may be subject to change. Contract owners should see their actual policy and any related attachments to determine their specific charges.

6. Income Taxes

Operations of the Separate Account form a part of WRL, 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 Separate Account are accounted for separately from other operations of WRL for purposes of federal income taxation. The Separate 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 WRL. Under existing federal income tax laws, the income of the Separate Account is not taxable to WRL, as long as earnings are credited under the variable annuity contracts.

7. Dividend Distributions

Dividends are not declared by the Separate Account, since the increase in the value of the underlying investment in the Mutual Funds is reflected daily in the accumulation unit price used to calculate the equity value within the Separate Account. Consequently, a dividend distribution by the Mutual Funds does not change either the accumulation unit price or equity values within the Separate Account.

8. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Hierarchy

The Accounting Standards Codification™(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 Separate Account 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 Statements 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 the Mutual Funds included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are stated at fair value and are based upon daily unadjusted quoted prices, therefore are considered Level 1.

9. Subsequent Events

The Separate Account has evaluated the financial statements for subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued. During this period, there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners.

 

As of February 29, 2012 there were 13,759 contract owners.

 

Item 28. Indemnification

 

     Provisions exist under the Ohio General Corporation Law, the Second Amended Articles of Incorporation of Western Reserve and the Amended Code of Regulations of Western Reserve whereby Western Reserve may indemnify certain persons against certain payments incurred by such persons.

 

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 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.
