All Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplements are also available on the EDGAR system at www.sec.gov. Please see the SEC file number table below for your applicable product.

We are issuing this supplement to provide the rider fee, growth and withdrawal percentages that we are currently offering for the Retirement Income Choice® 2.0 rider as described in the Retirement Income Choice® 2.0 Fees, Retirement Income Choice® 2.0 – Base Benefit – Withdrawal Percentage and the Retirement Income Choice® 2.0 – 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 an effective Transamerica Variable Annuity O-Share prospectus, as amended.

The amounts listed below apply for applications signed between July 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020. The rider fee, growth and withdrawal percentages may be different than those listed below for applications signed after August 31, 2020. The rider fee and withdrawal percentages 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. At the time of an automatic step-up the rider fee percentage may increase by no more than 0.75% from the current rider fee percentage listed below). 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® 2.0 – Base Benefit- Manual Resets section of your prospectus. The Rate Sheet Prospectus Supplement applicable to you policy will be included with your prospectus. Please work with your financial professional or visit www.transamerica.com to confirm the current rates.
