Supplement dated September 23, 2016

(for Applications signed on or after October 1, 2016)

to the

Prospectus dated May 1, 2016

This Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement (this “supplement”) applies to the above listed Transamerica variable annuities and should be read and retained with the prospectus. If you would like another copy of the current prospectus, please call us at (800) 525-6205.

We are issuing this supplement to provide the growth percentage and withdrawal percentages that we are currently offering for the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 as described in the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 – Base Benefit – Withdrawal Percentage and the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 – Base Benefit –Growth sections of the prospectus. This supplement replaces and supersedes any previously issued Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement(s), and must be used in conjunction with the above effective variable annuity prospectuses, as amended.

The rates below apply for applications signed between October 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016. The growth percentage and withdrawal percentages may be different than those listed below for applications signed after December 31, 2016. The withdrawal percentage applicable to your policy will not change for the life of your policy (unless subject to an automatic step-up as described in the Automatic Step-Up section of your prospectus). The growth percentage can change upon manual reset, which is a manual process under which your current rider is terminated and a new rider is issued. You can only elect to reset during the 30 day period following each successive fifth rider anniversary and if all other rider issue requirements are met as further described in the Retirement Income Choice® 1.6 – Base Benefit- Manual Resets section of your prospectus. The Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement applicable to your policy will be included with your prospectus. Please work with your financial professional or visit www.transamerica.com to confirm the current rates.

Please note: In order for you to receive the growth percentage and withdrawal percentages reflected above, your application must be signed within the time period disclosed above. We must also receive your completed application within 7 calendar days from the date that this supplement is no longer effective, and the policy must be funded within 60 calendar days from the date that this supplement is no longer effective. If these conditions are not met, your application will be considered not in good order. If you decide to proceed with the purchase of the policy, additional paperwork may be required to issue the policy with the applicable rates in effect at that time.
