The Prospectus, Supplements, Statement of Additional Information, and Exhibits for Transamerica Landmark of the Separate Account VA B to the Form N-4 Registration Statement (33-33085 and 811-06032) filed on April 30, 2009 and any subsequent filings are hereby incorporated by reference.


TRANSAMERICA LANDMARK VARIABLE ANNUITY

Issued Through

SEPARATE ACCOUNT VA B

By

TRANSAMERICA LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

Supplement dated September 15, 2009

to the

Prospectus dated May 1, 2009

This Prospectus Supplement must be accompanied or preceded

by the Prospectus for the

Transamerica Landmark Variable Annuity dated May 1, 2009.

The following hereby amends the corresponding paragraphs in the SUMMARY Section 5. Expenses in the prospectus.

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

The following hereby amends the corresponding paragraphs in the SUMMARY Section 10. Additional Features in the prospectus.

 

   

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

The following hereby replaces the corresponding ANNUITY POLICY FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES in the prospectus.

ANNUITY POLICY FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES

The following describes the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the policy. Please be certain to review the notes following the fee table and expense examples for further information about the fees and charges presented. The order of the notes follows the order in which the fees and charges under the policy are presented in the fee tables and the expense examples.

The first section describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the policy, surrender the policy, or transfer cash value between investment choices. State premium taxes may also be deducted. Excess interest adjustments may be made to amounts surrendered or applied to annuity payment options from cash value from the fixed account.

NOTES TO FEE TABLE AND EXPENSE EXAMPLES

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

 

5


— (Continued)

 

Policy Owner Transaction Expenses:

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

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

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

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

Annual Service Charge:

Annual Service Charge: The annual service charge is assessed on each policy anniversary and at surrender. The charge is waived if your policy value, or the sum of your premiums less all partial surrenders, is at least $50,000.

Separate Account Annual Expenses:

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

Optional Separate Account Expenses: Any optional separate account expense is in addition to the mortality and expense risk and administrative fees. Note: the Double Enhanced Death Benefit cannot be elected with the Retirement Income ChoiceSMrider, the Retirement Income ChoiceSM with Double Withdrawal Base Benefit rider, the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 rider , or the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider.

See section “5. Expenses”.

Liquidity Rider: This fee is only charged for the first four policy years.

6


— (Continued)

 

Optional Rider Fees:

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

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

Living Benefits Rider: The annual fee is a percentage of the “principal back” Total Withdrawal Base. The “principal back” Total Withdrawal Base on the rider date is the policy value (less any premium enhancements if the rider is added in the first policy year). After the rider date, the “principal back” Total Withdrawal Base is equal to: the “principal back” Total Withdrawal Base on the rider date; plus subsequent premium payments; less subsequent “principal back” adjusted partial withdrawals.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM Rider, Retirement Income ChoiceSM with Double Withdrawal Base Benefit Rider, Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider, and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 - base benefit: The fee is a percentage of the Withdrawal Base. The Withdrawal Base on the rider date is the policy value (less any premium enhancement, if the rider is added in the first policy year). During any rider year, the Withdrawal Base is equal to the Withdrawal Base on the rider date or most recent rider anniversary, plus subsequent premium payments, less subsequent Withdrawal Base adjustments.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM Rider, Retirement Income ChoiceSM with Double Withdrawal Base Benefit Rider, Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider, and Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider - Additional Benefits (Single Life and Joint Life Options): You may elect the Retirement Income ChoiceSM Rider, the Retirement Income ChoiceSM with Double Withdrawal Base Benefit Rider, the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2 Rider, or the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider with one or more of the following options - Death Benefit or Income Enhancement Benefit. The charge for each of these options is a percentage of the Withdrawal Base and is in addition to the base benefit fee.

Maximum Total Retirement Income ChoiceSM Rider Fees with Highest Combination of Benefits, Maximum Total Retirement Income ChoiceSM with Double Withdrawal Base Benefit Rider Fees with Highest Combination of Benefits, Maximum Total Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.2, and Maximum Total Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider Fees with Highest Combination of Benefits: After the fifth rider anniversary, the base benefit rider fees can increase when there is an automatic step-up. These fee totals reflect the maximum fee increase resulting from an automatic step-up of the Withdrawal Base while the rider is in effect.

Total Portfolio Annual Operating Expenses:

Total Portfolio Annual Operating Expenses: The fee table information relating to the underlying fund portfolios was provided to the Company by the underlying fund portfolios, their investment advisors or managers, and the Company has not and cannot independently verify the accuracy or completeness of such information. Actual future expenses of the portfolios may be greater or less than those shown in the Table.

Expense Examples:

Expense Examples: The Example does not reflect premium tax charges or transfer fees. Different fees and expenses not reflected in the Example may be assessed during the income phase of the policy.

The following hereby amends the corresponding paragraphs in the “5. EXPENSES” section in the prospectus.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider and Additional Options Fees

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

 

Options

   Single Life
Option
    Joint Life
Option
 

Death Benefit

   0.25   0.20

Income Enhancement Benefit

   0.15   0.30

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

The following hereby amends the corresponding paragraphs in the “10. ADDITIONAL FEATURES” section in the prospectus.

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider

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

1.4 rider for a qualified policy.

 

8


— (Continued)

 

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 – Base Benefit

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

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

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

Please note:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

9


— (Continued)

 

   

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

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

 

   

reduce your policy value;

 

   

reduce your base policy death benefit and other benefits;

 

   

may be subject to surrender charges and excess interest adjustments;

 

   

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

 

   

may be limited or restricted under certain qualified policies.

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

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

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

 

   

the rider withdrawal amount described above; or

 

   

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

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

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

Please note:

 

   

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

 

10


— (Continued)

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

 

Age at time of

first withdrawal

  

Withdrawal Percentage—

Single Life Option

  

Withdrawal Percentage—

Joint Life Option

0-58

   0.0%    0.0%

59-69

   4.0%    3.5%

70-79

   5.0%    4.5%

> 80

   6.0%    5.5%

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

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

Please note:

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

 

   

Current withdrawal base;

 

   

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

 

11


— (Continued)

 

   

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

— (Continued)

 

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

Please note:

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 – Additional Options

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

 

   

Death Benefit;

 

   

Joint Life; and

 

   

Income Enhancement.

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

 

14


— (Continued)

 

1. Death Benefit. If you elect this rider, you can also elect to add an additional amount to the death benefit payable under the base policy, upon the death of the annuitant (or if the joint life option is selected, the annuitant’s spouse). The additional amount will be equal to the excess, if any, of the rider death benefit over the greater of any optional guaranteed minimum death benefit or the base policy death benefit. The additional amount can be zero. If you elect this rider, then you cannot also elect the Double Enhanced Death Benefit option. See “Section 8. Death Benefit.”

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

 

   

the rider death benefit on the rider date; plus

 

   

subsequent premium payments; less

 

   

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

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

Please note:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

If an owner who is not the annuitant dies and the surviving spouse continues the policy, then no additional amount is payable. If the policy is not continued, then the surviving owner (who is also the sole beneficiary) may elect to receive lifetime annuity payments equal to the rider withdrawal amount divided by the number of payments each year instead of receiving the policy’s cash value.

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

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

 

15


— (Continued)

 

Please note:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

Please note:

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Fees

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

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

 

16


— (Continued)

 

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

 

  (A) is the withdrawal base;

 

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

 

  (C) is the total policy value; and

 

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

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

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

Please note regarding the base rider fee:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

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

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

 

17


— (Continued)

 

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

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

Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 Rider Issue Requirements

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

there are no more than two owners; and

 

   

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

Termination

The Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider and any additional options will terminate upon the earliest of the following:

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

termination of your policy.

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

The Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider and additional options may vary for certain policies, may not be available for all policies, and may not be available in all states. This disclosure explains the material features of the Retirement Income ChoiceSM 1.4 rider. The application and operation of the rider are governed by the terms and conditions of the rider itself.

The following hereby amends the corresponding table in the “Appendix Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit Comparison Table” section in the prospectus.

Retirement Income Choice 1.4 Rider

Benefit:

 

   

Provides:

(1) Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (“GLWB”)—i.e., a level of cash withdrawals (and payments from us, if necessary) regardless of the performance of the Designated Investment Option or the Open Allocation Option that you select.

(2) Growth—On each of the first 10 rider anniversaries, we add an annual growth credit (5% of the withdrawal base immediately before the rider anniversary) to the withdrawal base if no withdrawals have occurred during the preceding rider year.

(3) Automatic Step-Up—We will automatically step-up the withdrawal base on each rider anniversary. You can opt out of the automatic step-up if the automatic step-up would result in an increase in the rider fee percentage.

 

   

Upgrades:

You may request by sending us written notice. If you upgrade, the current rider terminates and a new rider is issued (which may have a higher rider fee).If you have elected the joint life option under the rider, you cannot elect a manual upgrade if the annuitant or an annuitant’s spouse is 86 or older (unless state law requires a lower maximum age).

 

   

Additional Options:

(1) Death Benefit Option—You may add an amount to the death benefit payable under the base policy.

(2) Joint Life Option—You may elect to postpone termination of the rider until the later of the death of the annuitant or the death of the annuitant’s spouse. The annuitant’s spouse must be either a joint owner (along with the annuitant) or the sole primary beneficiary (without a joint owner).

(3) Income Enhancement Option—If the rider has been in effect for at least 12 months, then you may elect to have your withdrawal percentage double if either the annuitant or the annuitant’s spouse, if the joint life option is elected, is confined in a hospital or nursing facility because of a medical necessity, and has been so confined for an “elimination period” (i.e., 180 days within the last 365 days).

You cannot elect this option if the qualifying person(s) is/are already confined in a hospital or nursing facility when the rider is elected. In addition, the increase to the withdrawal percentage stops when the qualifying person(s) is/are no longer confined.

Statement of Additional Information dated May 1, 2009

The following hereby amends the Statement of Additional Information APPENDIX B.

OA Method Transfers

To make the Retirement Income Choice 1.2 Benefit available, we monitor your policy value and guarantees under the rider daily and periodically transfer amounts between your selected investment options and the OA Subaccount. We determine the amount and timing of OA Method transfers between the investment options and the OA Subaccount according to a mathematical model.

The mathematical model is designed to calculate how much of your policy value should be allocated to the OA Subaccount. Based on this calculation, transfers into or out of the OA Subaccount will occur (subject to the previously disclosed thresholds). The formula is:

Percent of Policy Value required in OA Subaccount (or X) =

e-Fees*Time *(1- NormDist(d1))

where:

e = Base of the Natural Logarithm

NormDist = Cumulative Standard Normal Distribution

d1 = [ln(G)+(R – F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]

In order to calculate the percent of policy value required in the OA Subaccount, we must first calculate d1:

d1 = [ln(G)+(R – F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]

 

1


— (Continued)

 

where:

ln = Natural Logarithm Function

G = Guarantee Ratio

R = Rate

F = Fees

V = Volatility

T = Time

After calculating d1, the percent of policy value required in the OA Subaccount can be calculated. Once calculated, appropriate transfers into or out of the OA Subaccount will occur (subject to the thresholds).

Following is a brief discussion of the values used in the formula.

The POLICY VALUE includes the value in both the investment options and in the OA Subaccount.

The GUARANTEE RATIO is the policy value divided by the greater of (1) premiums minus any adjusted partial withdrawals or (2) present value of rider withdrawal amount (the present value of the rider amount looks at the sum of the expected lifetime payments discounted using a factor of [5.5]).

The RATE is the interest rate used for the OA Method. It is based on a long-term expectation based on historical interest rates and may vary over time.

The FEES is an approximation of average policy fees and charges associated with policies that have elected the RIC 1.2 rider. This value may change over time.

The VOLATILITY represents the volatility of the returns of policy value for all in force policies and is based on the long-term expectation of the degree to which the policy values tend to fluctuate. This value may vary over time.

The TIME is an approximation based on actuarial calculations of historical average number of years (including any fraction) which we anticipate remain until any potential payments are made under the benefit. This value may vary over time.

The PERCENT OF POLICY VALUE TO BE ALLOCATED TO THE OA SUBACCOUNT is computed for each policy. Ultimately the allocation for a policy takes into account the guarantees under the rider and the limit on allocations to the OA Subaccount.

The CUMULATIVE STANDARD NORMAL DISTRIBUTION function assumes that random events are distributed according to the classic bell curve. For a given value it computes the percentage of such events which can be expected to be less than that value.

 

2


— (Continued)

 

The NATURAL LOGARITHM function for a given value, computes the power to which e must be raised, in order to result in that value. Here, e is the base of the natural logarithms, or approximately 2.718282.

Example:

Day 1: Policy Value Declines by 10%

For purposes of this example we will assume that the policy value declines by 10% to $90,000 the day after the rider issue date from the initial premium amount of $100,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 90% ($90,000/$100,000). We will also assume:

Guarantee Ratio = 90%

Rate = 4.5%

Volatility = 10%

Fees = 3%

Time = 20

First we calculate d1.

d1=[ln(G)+(R – F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]

d1=[ln(.90)+(.045 – .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]

d1=.658832

Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the OA Subaccount.

Percent of Policy Value in OA Subaccount (or X) = e-Fees*Time *(1-NormDist(d1))

X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 – NormDist(.658832))

X = 13.9948%

Therefore, 13.9948% of the policy value is transferred to the OA Subaccount, resulting in a total transfer of $12,595.32.

 

3


— (Continued)

 

Day 2: Policy Value Recovers to 105% of Initial Value after the 10% Decline

For purposes of this example we will assume that after the policy value declined to $90,000 it recovered the next day to $105,000 producing a guarantee ratio of 105% ($105,000/$100,000). We will also assume:

Guarantee Ratio = 105%

Rate = 4.5%

Volatility = 10%

Fees = 3%

Time = 20

First we calculate d1.

d1=[ln(G)+(R – F +.5*V ^ 2)* T]/[V * T^.5]

d1=[ln(1.05)+(.045 – .03 +.5*.10 ^ 2)* 20]/[.10 * 20^.5]

d1= 1.003524

Using the value we just calculated for d1 we can now calculate the percent of policy value required in the OA Subaccount.

Percent of Policy Value in OA Subaccount (or X) = e-Fees*Time *(1 - NormDist(d1))

X= (2.718282 ^ -.03 * 20) * (1 – NormDist(1.003524))

X = 8.6605%

While the mathematical model would suggest we transfer only a portion of the policy value in the OA Subaccount into your investment options (leaving 8.6605% in the OA Subaccount), all of the policy value in the OA Subaccount will be transferred into your investment options. If the Guarantee Ratio equals or exceeds 100%, then your policy value is greater than or equal to the value of the guarantee and there is no current need for any policy value to be allocated to the OA Subaccount.

Item 27.    Number of Policyowners

 

As of July 31, 2009, there were 77,327 Owners of the Policies.

 

Item 28.    Indemnification

 

The Iowa Code (Sections 490.850 et. seq.) provides for permissive indemnification in certain situations, mandatory indemnification in other situations, and prohibits indemnification in certain situations. The Code also specifies procedures for determining when indemnification payments can be made.

 

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.
