Table of Contents

SUMMARY

 

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

 

1.    THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

 

The flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract offered by Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (formerly Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York) (Transamerica, we, us or our) provides a way for you to invest on a tax-deferred basis in the following investment choices: various subaccounts of the separate account and the fixed account of Transamerica. The contract is intended to accumulate money for retirement or other long-term investment purposes.

 

This contract currently offers various subaccounts in the separate account that are listed in Section 3. Each subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one of the underlying funds/portfolios. The account value may depend on the investment experience of the selected subaccounts. Therefore, you bear the entire investment risk with respect to all account value in any subaccount. You could lose the amount that you invest.

 

The fixed account offers an interest rate that Transamerica guarantees. We guarantee to return your investment with interest credited for all amounts allocated to the fixed account.

 

The contract, like all deferred annuity contracts, has two phases: the “accumulation phase” and the “income phase.” During the accumulation phase, earnings accumulate on a tax-deferred basis and are taxed as ordinary income when you take them out of the contract. The income phase occurs when you annuitize and begin receiving regular payments from your contract. The money you can accumulate during the accumulation phase will largely determine the income payments you receive during the income phase.

 

2.    PURCHASE

 

You can buy a nonqualified contract with $5,000 or more, and a qualified contract with $1,000 or more, under most circumstances. You can add as little as $50 at any time during the accumulation phase.

 

 

3.    INVESTMENT OPTIONS

 

You can allocate your premium payments to one or more of the following underlying fund portfolios described in the underlying fund prospectuses:

 

Transamerica Equity—Initial Class

Appreciation Portfolio—Service Class

Balanced Portfolio—Service Class

Developing Leaders Portfolio—Service Class

Disciplined Stock Portfolio—Service Class

Growth and Income Portfolio—Service Class

International Equity Portfolio—Service Class

International Value Portfolio—Service Class

Limited Term High Yield Portfolio—Service Class

Quality Bond Portfolio—Service Class

As of January 22, 2001, new contract owners may only invest in the Service Class subaccounts, with the exception of the Money Market subaccount and the Transamerica Equity subaccount. The Initial Class subaccounts (other than the Money Market subaccount and Transamerica Equity subaccount) are only available to contract owners that purchased the contract before January 22, 2001. The Service Class has a Rule 12b-1 Plan and the Initial Class does not.

 

Depending upon their investment performance, you can make or lose money in any of the subaccounts.

 

 

5


Table of Contents

 

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 phase. We reserve the right to impose a $10 fee for each transfer in excess of 18 transfers per contract year and to impose restrictions and limitations on transfers.

 

4.    PERFORMANCE

 

The value of the contract will vary up or down depending upon the investment performance of the subaccounts you choose. We provide past performance information in Appendix B and in the SAI. This data does not indicate future performance.

 

5.    EXPENSES

 

Note: The following section on expenses and the Annuity Contract Fee Table and expense examples only apply to contracts issued after May 1, 2003. See Appendix C for older contracts.

 

No deductions are made from premium payments at the time you buy the contract so that the full amount of each premium payment is invested in one or more of your investment choices.

 

We may deduct a surrender charge of up to 7% of premium payments surrendered within seven years after the premium is paid. We will calculate surrender charges by taking the earnings, if any, out before premium payments.

 

We deduct daily mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges at an annual rate of 1.30% (if you choose the “Return of Premium Death Benefit”), or 1.45% (if you choose the “Annual Step-Up Death Benefit”) from the assets in each subaccount.

 

During the accumulation phase, we deduct an annual service charge of no more than $30 from the account value on each contract anniversary. The charge is waived if either the account value or the sum of all premium payments, minus all partial surrenders, is at least $50,000.

 

 

Upon total surrender, payment of a death benefit, or when annuity payments begin, we will deduct state premium taxes, if applicable.

 

The value of the net assets of the subaccounts will reflect the management fee and other expenses incurred by the underlying fund portfolios.

 

6.    ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

 

You can generally take out $500 or more anytime during the accumulation phase (except under certain qualified contracts). After one year, you may, free of surrender charges once each contract year, take out up to the greater of:

  10% of your premium payments less surrenders deemed to be from premium payments; or
  any gains in the contract.

 

Amounts surrendered in the first year, or in excess of this free amount, may be subject to a surrender charge. You may also have to pay income tax and a tax penalty on any money you take out.

 

The gains in the contract are the amount equal to the account value, minus the sum of all premium payments, reduced by all prior partial surrenders deemed to be from premium payments.

 

Access to amounts held in qualified contracts may be restricted or prohibited.

 

You cannot take money out during the income phase, although you will be receiving annuity payments.

 

7.   ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

 

The contract allows you to receive income under one of several annuity payment options. You may choose from fixed payment options, variable payment options, or a combination of both. If you select a variable payment option, the dollar amount of your payments may go up or down.

 

8.    DEATH BENEFIT

 

If you are both the owner and the annuitant and you die before the income phase begins, then your beneficiary will receive a death benefit.

 

 

6


Table of Contents

 

Naming different persons as owner and annuitant can affect whether the death benefit is payable and to whom amounts will be paid. Use care when naming owners, annuitants, and beneficiaries, and consult your agent if you have questions.

 

When you purchase a contract you generally may choose one of the following guaranteed minimum death benefits:

  Annual Step-Up; or
  Return of Premium.

 

Charges are lower for the Return of Premium Death Benefit.

 

If the owner is not the annuitant, no death benefit is paid if the owner dies.

 

9.    TAXES

 

Your earnings, if any, are generally not taxed until you take them out. If you take money out of a nonqualified contract during the accumulation phase, earnings come out first for federal tax purposes, and are taxed as ordinary income. Under qualified contracts, surrenders are prorated between taxable and nontaxable amounts. If you are younger than 59½ when you take money out, you may be charged a 10% federal penalty tax on the taxable earnings. For non-qualified contracts, payments 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.

 

10.    ADDITIONAL FEATURES

 

This contract has additional features that might interest you. These include the following:

  You can arrange to have money automatically sent to you monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually while your contract is in the accumulation phase. This feature is referred to as the “Systematic Payout Option” (“SPO”). Amounts you receive may be included in your gross income, and in certain circumstances, may be subject to penalty taxes.
  You can arrange to automatically transfer money (at least $250 per transfer) monthly or quarterly from certain investment options into one or more subaccounts. This feature is known as “Dollar Cost Averaging.”

 

 

We will, upon your request, automatically transfer amounts among the subaccounts on a regular basis to maintain a desired allocation of the account value among the various subaccounts. This feature is called “Asset Rebalancing.”

 

These features may not be suitable for your particular situation.

 

11.    OTHER INFORMATION

 

Right to Cancel Period.  You may return your contract for a refund within 20 days after you receive it. The amount of the refund will generally be purchase payments paid and accumulated gains or losses in the variable account. We will pay the refund within 7 days after we receive written notice of cancellation and the returned contract within the applicable time period. The contract will then be deemed void.

 

No Probate.  Usually, the person receiving the death benefit under this contract will not have to go through probate. State laws vary on how the amount that may be paid is treated for estate tax purposes.

 

Who should purchase the contract?  This contract is designed for people seeking long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets, generally for retirement or other long-term purposes; and for 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. The tax deferral features of variable annuities are unnecessary when purchased to fund a qualified plan. You should not buy this contract if you are looking for a short-term investment, market timing, or if you cannot take the risk of losing the money that you put in.

 

There are various fees and charges associated with variable annuities. You should consider whether the features and benefits of this contract, unique to variable annuities, such as the opportunity for lifetime income payments, a guaranteed death benefit, and the guaranteed level of certain charges, make this contract appropriate for your needs.

 

Old Contracts.  This prospectus generally describes contracts issued after May 1, 2003. See

Table of Contents

 

(1)   During the income phase the fees may be different than those described in the Fee Table. See Section 5, Expenses.

 

(2)   The surrender charge, if any is imposed, applies to each contract, regardless of how the account value is allocated among the separate account and the fixed account. The surrender charge is decreased based on the number of years since the premium payment was made. If applicable, a surrender charge will only be applied to surrenders that exceed the amount available under certain listed exceptions. We may waive the service charge in certain instances.

 

(3)   The transfer fee, if any is imposed, applies to each contract, regardless of how account value is allocated among the separate account and the fixed account. There is no fee for the first 18 transfers per year. For additional transfers, Transamerica may charge a fee of $10 per transfer, but currently does not charge for any transfers.

 

(4)   The service charge applies to the fixed account and the separate account, and is assessed on a pro rata basis relative to each variable account’s account value as a percentage of the contract’s total account value. The service charge is deducted on each contract anniversary and at the time of surrender.

 

(5)   The mortality and expense risk fee shown (1.15%) is for the “Return of Premium Death Benefit.”

 

(6)   The fee for the “Annual Step-Up Death Benefit” (0.15%) is in addition to the mortality and expense risk fee of (1.15%).

 

(7)   The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit fee is included herein. The mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge are applicable during the income phase of the contract.

 

(8)   The fee table information relating to the underlying funds/portfolios is for the year 2002 (unless otherwise noted) and was provided to Transamerica by the underlying funds, their investment advisers or managers, and Transamerica has not and cannot independently verify the accuracy or completeness of such information. Actual expenses of the portfolios in future years and the current year may be greater or less than those shown in the Table.

Table of Contents

1.     THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

 

This prospectus describes the Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage® Variable Annuity contract offered by Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (formerly Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York). This prospectus generally describes contracts issued on or after May 1, 2003. Contracts issued before that date may have different features (such as different death benefits or annuity payments) and different charges. These differences are noted in Appendix C.

 

An annuity is a contract between you—owner, and an insurance company (in this case, Transamerica), where the insurance company promises to pay you an income in the form of annuity payments. These payments begin on a designated date, referred to as the annuity commencement date.

 

The contract is a deferred annuity because until the annuity commencement date, your annuity is in the accumulation phase and the earnings (if any) are tax deferred. Tax deferral means you generally are not taxed on your annuity until you take money out of your annuity. After you annuitize, your annuity switches to the income phase.

 

The contract is a flexible premium deferred variable annuity. You can use the contract to accumulate funds for retirement or other long-term financial planning purposes. Your individual investment and your rights are determined primarily by your own contract.

 

The contract is a “flexible premium” annuity because after you purchase it, you can generally make additional investments of $50 or more until the annuity commencement date. You are not required to make any additional investments.

 

The contract is a “variable” annuity because the value of your investments can go up or down based on the performance of your investment choices. If you invest in the separate account, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your contract during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of your investment choices. You could lose the amount that you allocate to the separate account. The amount of annuity payments you receive during the income phase from the separate account also depends upon the investment performance of your investment choices for the income phase.

 

The contract also contains a fixed account. The fixed account offers interest rates that we guarantee will not decrease during the selected guaranteed period. There may be different interest rates for each different guaranteed period that you select.

 

2.     PURCHASE

 

Contract Issue Requirements

 

Transamerica will not issue a contract unless:

  Transamerica receives all information needed to issue the contract,
  Transamerica receives a minimum initial premium payment; and
  The annuitant, owner, and any joint owner are age 90 or younger (may be lower for qualified contracts).

 

We reserve the right to reject any application or premium payment.

 

Premium Payments

 

You should make checks for premium payments payable only to Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (formerly Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York) and send them to the Transamerica Annuity Service Center. Your check must be honored in order for Transamerica to pay any associated payments and benefits due under the contract.

 

Initial Premium Payment Requirements

 

The initial premium payment for nonqualified contracts must be at least $5,000, and at least $1,000 for qualified contracts. There is generally no minimum initial premium payment for contracts issued under section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. We will credit your initial premium payment to your contract within two business days after the day we receive it and your complete contract information. If we are unable to credit your initial premium payment, we will

 

 

11


Table of Contents

contact you within five business days and explain why. We will also return your initial premium payment at that time unless you let us keep it and credit it as soon as possible.

 

The date on which we credit your initial premium payment to your contract is generally the contract date. The contract date is used to determine contract years, contract months and contract anniversaries. There may be delays in our receipt of applications that are outside of our control (for example, because of the failure of the selling broker/dealer or sales agent to forward the application to us promptly, or because of delays in determining that the contract is suitable for you). Any such delays will affect when your contract can be issued and your premium payment allocated among your investment choices.

 

Additional Premium Payments

 

You are not required to make any additional premium payments. However, you can make additional premium payments as often as you like during the accumulation phase. Additional premium payments must be at least $50. We will credit additional premium payments to your contract as of the business day we receive your premium payment and required information. Additional premium payments must be received before the New York Stock Exchange closes to get same-day pricing of the additional premium payment.

 

Maximum Total Premium Payments

 

Cumulative premium payments above $1,000,000 for issue ages 0-90 require prior approval by Transamerica.

 

Allocation of Premium Payments

 

When you purchase a contract, we will allocate your premium payments to the investment choices you select. Your allocation must be in whole percentages and must total 100%. We will allocate additional premium payments the same way, unless you request a different allocation.

 

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

 

You may change allocations for future additional premium payments by sending us written instructions. The allocation change will apply to premium payments received on or after the date we receive the change request.

 

Transamerica reserves the right to restrict or refuse any premium payment.

 

Account Value

 

You should expect your account value to change from valuation period to valuation period. The account value varies based on the performance of the accumulation units. A valuation period begins at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each business day and ends at the close of regular trading on the next succeeding business day. A business day is each day that the New York Stock Exchange is open. The New York Stock Exchange generally closes at 4:00 p.m. eastern time. Holidays are generally not business days.

Contract owners who purchased a contract after January 22, 2001, may only invest in the Service Class sub-accounts, with the exception of the Money Market Sub-account and the Transamerica Equity Sub-account. The Initial Class sub-accounts (other than the Money Market Sub-account and Transamerica Equity Sub-account) are only available to contract owners that purchased the contract before January 22, 2001.

 

The general public may not purchase shares of these underlying funds/portfolios. The names and investment objectives and policies may be similar to other portfolios and fund portfolios managed by the same investment adviser or manager that are sold directly to the public. You should not expect the investment results of the underlying funds/portfolios to be the same as those of other portfolios or fund.

 

More detailed information, including an explanation of the portfolio’s fees and investment objectives and risks, may be found in the current prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios, which accompany this prospectus. You should read the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios carefully before you invest.

 

We may receive expense reimbursements or other revenues from the underlying fund portfolios or their managers. The amount of these reimbursements or revenues, if any, may be substantial and may be different for different portfolios and may be based on the amount of assets that Transamerica or the separate account invests in the underlying fund portfolios.

 

We do not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. See the SAI for more information concerning the possible addition, deletion, or substitution of investments.

Table of Contents

 

The Fixed Account

 

Premium payments allocated and amounts transferred to the fixed account become part of Transamerica’s general account. 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 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts.

 

We guarantee that the interest credited to the fixed account will not be less than 3% per year. Any higher rate of interest is at our complete discretion, and you bear the risk that we will not credit more than 3% interest per year. At the end of the guaranteed period option, the value in that guaranteed period option will automatically be transferred into a new guaranteed period option of the same length (or the next shorter period if the same period is no longer offered) at the current interest rate for that period. You can transfer to another investment choice by giving us notice within 30 days before the end of the expiring guaranteed period.

 

If you select the fixed account, your money will be placed with Transamerica’s other general assets. The amount of money you are able to accumulate in the fixed account during the accumulation phase depends upon the total interest credited. The amount of annuity payments you receive during the income phase from the fixed portion of your contract will remain level for the entire income phase.

 

Transfers

 

During the accumulation phase, you may make transfers to or from any subaccount or to the fixed account as often as you wish within certain limitations.

 

Transfers out of a guaranteed period option of the fixed account are limited as follows:

  Transfers at the end of a guaranteed period.
  Transfers of amounts equal to interest credited in the one year guaranteed period option may be made to any subaccount prior to the end of the guaranteed period on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. This may affect your overall interest-crediting rate, because transfers are deemed to come from the oldest premium payment first.
  Transfers of other amounts from the one year guaranteed period option prior to the end of the guaranteed period option are limited to 25% of the account value in that guaranteed period option, less any previous transfer during the current contract year.

 

Each transfer must be at least $500, or the entire subaccount value. Transfers of interest from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account, must be at least $50. If less than $500 remains as a result of the transfer, then we reserve the right to include that amount in the transfer. Transfers must be received while the New York Stock Exchange is open to get same-day pricing of the transaction.

 

We reserve the right to prohibit transfers to the fixed account if we are crediting an effective annual interest rate of 3% (the guaranteed minimum).

 

Currently, there is no charge for transfers and no limit on the number of transfers during the accumulation phase. However, in the future, the number of transfers permitted may be limited and a $10 charge per transfer may apply.

 

During the income phase, you may transfer values out of any subaccount; however, you cannot transfer values out of the fixed account. The minimum amount that can be transferred during this phase is the lesser of $10 of monthly income, or the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the subaccount from which the transfer is being made.

 

Market Timing. The contract you are purchasing was not designed for professional market timing organizations or other persons that use programmed, large, or frequent transfers. The use of such transfers may be disruptive to the underlying fund/portfolio and increase transaction costs. We reserve the right to reject any premium

Table of Contents

payment or transfer request from any person, if, in our judgment, the premium payment or transfer or series of transfers would have a negative impact on an underlying fund’s/portfolio’s operations, if an underlying fund/portfolio would reject our purchase order, or because of a history of frequent transfers. We may impose other restrictions on transfers or even prohibit them for any owner who, in our view, has abused or appears likely to abuse the transfer privilege. We may, at any time, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, or limit the number of transfers we permit.

 

We do not permit market timing. Do not purchase this contract if you are a market timer.

 

4.    PERFORMANCE

 

Transamerica periodically advertises performance of the various subaccounts. We may disclose at least three different kinds of performance. First, we may calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of an accumulation unit by dividing the increase (decrease) for that unit by the value of the accumulation unit at the beginning of the period. This performance number reflects the deduction of the mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges. It does not reflect the deduction of any applicable premium taxes, surrender charges or the annual service charge. The deduction of any applicable premium taxes or surrender charges would reduce the percentage increase or make greater any percentage decrease.

 

Second, advertisements may also include total return figures, which reflect the deduction of the mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges. These figures may also include or exclude surrender charges.

 

Third, in addition, for certain investment portfolios, performance may be shown for the period commencing from the inception date of the investment portfolio (i.e., before commencement of subaccount operations). These figures should not be interpreted to reflect actual historical performance of the subaccounts.

 

 

We also may, from time to time, include in our advertising and sales materials, the performance of other funds or accounts managed by the subadviser, the performance of predecessors to the underlying fund portfolios, tax deferred compounding charts and other hypothetical illustrations, which may include, comparisons of currently taxable and tax deferred investment programs, based on selected tax brackets.

 

Appendix B to this prospectus contains past performance information that you may find useful. It is divided into various parts, depending upon the type of performance information shown. Past performance is not indication of future performance; future performance will vary and future results will not be the same as the results shown.

 

5.    EXPENSES

 

There are charges and expenses associated with your contract that reduce the return on your investment in the contract.

 

Surrender Charges

 

During the accumulation phase, you can surrender part or all of the cash value (restrictions may apply to qualified contracts). We may apply a surrender charge to compensate us for expenses relating to sales, including commission to registered representatives and other promotional expenses.

 

After the first year, you can surrender up to the greater of 10% of your premium payments (less partial surrenders deemed to be from premium payments) or any gains in the contract once each year free of surrender charges. This amount is referred to as the free percentage and is determined at the time of surrender. (The free percentage is not cumulative, so not surrendering anything in one year does not increase the surrender charge free amount in subsequent years.) If you surrender money in excess of this free amount, you might have to pay a surrender charge, which is a contingent deferred sales charge, on the excess amount.

The following schedule shows the surrender charges that apply during the seven years following payment of each premium payment:

For example, assume your account value is $100,000 at the beginning of the second contract year and you surrender $30,000. Since that amount is more than your free percentage, you would pay a surrender charge of $1,400 on the remaining $20,000 (7% of $30,000—$10,000).

 

Likewise, assume your account value is $80,000 (premium payments $100,000) at the beginning of the second contract year and you surrender your contract. You would pay a surrender charge of $6,300 [7% of ($100,000 – ($100,000 x 10%))].

 

You can generally choose to receive the full amount of a requested partial surrender by directing us to deduct any applicable surrender charge from your remaining account value. You receive your cash value upon full surrender.

 

For surrender charge purposes, earnings are considered to be surrendered first, then the oldest premium payment is considered to be surrendered next.

 

Keep in mind that surrenders may be taxable, and if made before age 59 1/2, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. For tax purposes, surrenders from nonqualified contracts are considered to come from earnings first. Under qualified contracts, surrenders are prorated between taxable and nontaxable amounts.

 

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Fees

 

We charge a fee as compensation for bearing certain mortality and expense risks under the contract. This fee is assessed daily based on the net asset value of each subaccount. Examples of such risks include a guarantee of annuity rates, the death benefits, certain expenses of the contract, and assuming the risk that the current charges will be insufficient in the future to cover costs of administering the contract. We may also pay distribution expenses out of this charge.

 

During the accumulation phase for the Return of Premium Death Benefit the daily mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.15%; for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit, the mortality and expense risk fee is 0.15% higher at an annual rate of 1.30%. During the income phase, the mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.10%. If this charge does not cover our actual costs, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if the charge more than covers actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from this charge. We may use any profit for any proper purpose, including distribution expenses.

 

Administrative Charges

 

We deduct a daily administrative charge to cover the costs of administering the contract (including certain distribution-related expenses). This charge is at an annual rate of 0.15% of the daily net asset value of each subaccount during both the accumulation phase and the income phase.

 

In addition, an annual service charge of the lesser of $30 (but no more than 2% of the account value) is charged on each contract anniversary. The service charge is waived if your account value or the sum of your premium payment(s), less all partial surrenders, is at least $50,000.

 

Premium Taxes

 

New York does not currently impose a premium tax. We will, however, deduct the total amount of premium taxes, if there is a premium tax imposed in the future, from the account value when:

  you begin receiving annuity payments;
  you surrender the contract; or
  a death benefit is paid.

 

 

16


Table of Contents

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.

 

Transfer Fee

 

You are allowed to make 18 free transfers per year before the annuity commencement date. If you make more than 18 transfers per year, we reserve the right to charge $10 for each additional transfer. Premium payments, Asset Rebalancing and Dollar Cost Averaging transfers do not count as one of your 18 free transfers per year. All transfer requests made at the same time are treated as a single request. (We reserve the right to restrict transfers and/or eliminate the transfer privileges; see “Market Timing”.)

 

Portfolio Fees and Expenses

 

The value of the assets in each subaccount will reflect the fees and expenses paid by the underlying funds/portfolios. A list of these expenses is found in the “Fee Table” section of this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the underlying funds/portfolios for more information.

 

6.    ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

 

During the accumulation phase, you can have access to the money in your contract in the following ways:

  by making a surrender (either a complete or partial surrender); or
  by taking systematic payouts.

 

Surrenders

 

If you take a complete surrender, you will receive your cash value.

 

If you want to take a partial surrender, in most cases it must be for at least $500. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will take the surrender from each of the investment choices in proportion to the account value.

 

 

After one year, you may take up to the greater of 10% of your premium payments (less partial surrenders deemed to be from premium payments) or any gains in the contract free of surrender charges once each contract year. Remember that any surrender you take will reduce the account value, and the amount of the death benefit. See Section 8, Death Benefit, for more details. A surrender may also reduce other benefits.

 

Surrenders may be subject to a surrender charge. Income taxes, federal tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any surrenders you make.

 

Surrenders from qualified contracts may be restricted or prohibited.

 

During the income phase, you will receive annuity payments under the annuity payment option you select; however, you generally may not take any other surrenders, either complete or partial.

 

Delay of Payment and Transfers

 

Payment of any amount due from the separate account for a surrender, a death benefit, or the death of the owner of a nonqualified contract, will generally occur within seven days from the date we receive all required information. We may defer such payment from the separate account if:

  the New York Stock Exchange is closed other than for usual weekends or holidays, or trading on the Exchange is otherwise restricted;
  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.

 

In addition, transfers of amounts from the subaccounts may be deferred under these circumstances.

 

Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might in certain circumstances require us to reject a premium payment and/or “freeze” a contract

Table of Contents

owner’s account. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to pay any request for withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, make transfers, or continue making annuity payments absent instructions from the appropriate federal regulator. We may also be required to provide information about you and your contract to government agencies or departments.

 

Pursuant to the requirements of certain state laws, we reserve the right to defer payment of the cash value from the fixed account for up to six months. We may defer payment of any amount until your premium check has cleared your bank.

 

7.    ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

 

You choose the annuity commencement date. You can change this date by giving us written notice 30 days before the current annuity commencement date. The new annuity commencement date must be at least 30 days after we receive notice of the change. The latest annuity commencement date generally cannot be after the contract month following the month in which the annuitant attains age 90, or 10 years from the contract date. The earliest annuity commencement date is 30 days after you purchase your contract.

 

Before the annuity commencement date, if the annuitant is alive, you may choose an annuity payment option or change your election. If the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date, the death benefit is payable in a lump sum or under one of the annuity payment options (unless the surviving spouse continues the contract).

 

Unless you specify otherwise, the annuitant will receive the annuity payments. After the annuitant’s death, the beneficiary will receive any remaining guaranteed payments.

 

Annuity Payment Options

 

The contract provides several annuity payment options that are described below. You may choose any combination of annuity payment options. We will use your account value (less any applicable premium tax charge) to provide these annuity payments. If the account value on the annuity commencement date is less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay it in one lump sum in lieu of applying it under an annuity payment option. You can receive annuity payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. (We reserve the right to change the frequency if payments would be less than $50.)

 

Unless you choose to receive variable payments, the amount of each payment will be set on the annuity commencement date and will not change. You may, however, choose to receive variable payments. 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 additional variable payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s). The dollar amount of each variable payment after the first may increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exactly matched the assumed investment return of 5% at all times, the amount of each variable annuity payment would remain equal. If actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exceeds the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would increase. Conversely, if actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) is lower than the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would decrease.

 

A charge for premium taxes may be made when annuity payments begin.

 

The annuity payment options are explained below. Options 1, 2, and 3 are fixed only. Options 4 and 5 can be fixed or variable.

 

Payment Option 1—Interest Payments.  We will pay the interest on the amount we use to provide annuity payments in equal payments or this amount may be left to accumulate for a period of time to which you and Transamerica agree. You and Transamerica will agree on surrender rights when you elect this option.

 

Payment Option 2—Income for a Specified Period.  We will make level payments only for a

 

 

18


Table of Contents

fixed period. No funds will remain at the end of the period.

 

Payment Option 3—Income of a Specified Amount.  Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be a series of level payments followed by a smaller final payment.

 

Payment Option 4—Life Income. You may choose between:

  No Period Certain (fixed or variable)—Payments will be made only during the annuitant’s lifetime.
  10 Years Certain (fixed or variable)—Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant’s lifetime or ten years.
  Guaranteed Return of Contract Proceeds (fixed only)—Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant’s lifetime or until the total dollar amount of payments we made to you equals the amount applied to this option.

 

Payment Option 5—Joint and Survivor Annuity. You may choose between:

  No Period Certain (fixed or variable)  —Payments are made during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your selection. Payments will be made as long as either person is living.

 

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

 

NOTE CAREFULLY:

 

IF:

  you choose Life Income with No Period Certain or a Joint and Survivor Annuity with No Period Certain; and
  the annuitant dies before the due date of the second (third, fourth, etc.) annuity payment;

 

THEN:

  we may make only one (two, three, etc.) annuity payments.

 

IF:

  you choose Income for a Specified Period, Life Income with 10 years Certain, Life Income with Guaranteed Return of Contract Proceeds, or Income of a Specified Amount; 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 present value 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 payee’s address of record. The person receiving payments is responsible for keeping Transamerica informed of their current address.

 

8.    DEATH BENEFIT

 

We will pay a death benefit to your beneficiary, under certain circumstances, if the annuitant dies during the accumulation phase. If there is a surviving owner(s) when the annuitant dies, the surviving owner(s) will receive the death benefit instead of the listed beneficiary. The person receiving the death benefit may choose an annuity payment option, or may choose to receive a lump sum.

 

When We Pay A Death Benefit

 

We will pay a death benefit IF:

  you are both the annuitant and sole owner of the contract; and
  you die before the annuity commencement date.

 

We will pay a death benefit to you (owner) IF:

  you are not the annuitant; and
  the annuitant dies before the annuity commencement date.

 

If the only person receiving the death benefit is the surviving spouse, then he or she may elect to continue the contract as the new annuitant and owner, instead of receiving the death benefit. All future surrender charges will be waived.

 

 

19


Table of Contents

 

When We Do Not Pay A Death Benefit

 

We will not pay a death benefit IF:

  you are not the annuitant; and
  you die prior to the annuity commencement date.

 

Please note the new owner (unless it is the deceased owner’s spouse) must generally surrender the contract within five years of your death for the account value.

 

Distribution requirements apply to the account value upon the death of any owner. These requirements are detailed in the SAI.

 

Deaths After the Annuity Commencement Date

 

The death benefit payable, if any, on or after the annuity commencement date depends on the annuity payment option selected.

 

IF:

  you are not the annuitant; and
  you die on or after the annuity commencement date; and
  the entire interest in the contract has not been paid to you;

 

THEN:

  the remaining portion of such interest in the contract will be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution being used as of the date of your death.

 

Spousal Continuation

 

IF:

  the surviving spouse (as beneficiary or sole surviving owner) elects to continue the contract instead of receiving the death benefit; and
  the guaranteed minimum death benefit is greater than the account value;

 

THEN:

  we will increase the account value to be equal to the guaranteed minimum death benefit. This increase is made only at the time the surviving spouse elects to continue the contract and the guaranteed minimum death benefit will continue as applicable.

 

Succession of Ownership

 

If any owner dies during the accumulation phase, the annuitant will become the new owner:

 

Amount of Death Benefit

 

The death benefit may be paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments. The amount of the death benefit depends on the guaranteed minimum death benefit option you chose when you bought the contract. The death benefit will generally be the greater of:

  the account value on the date we receive the required information; or
  the guaranteed minimum death benefit (discussed below), plus premium payments, less gross partial surrenders from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.

 

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit

 

NOTE: The following generally applies to contracts issued after May 1, 2003. For other contracts, see Appendix C.

 

On the contract application, you generally may choose one of the guaranteed minimum death benefit options listed below (age limitations may apply).

 

After the contract is issued, you cannot make an election and the death benefit cannot be changed.

 

A.    Annual Step-Up Death Benefit

 

On each contract anniversary before annuitant’s 86th birthday, a new “stepped-up” death benefit is determined and becomes the guaranteed minimum death benefit for that contract year. The death benefit is equal to:

    the account value on the current contract anniversary; or the previous stepped-up value, plus any subsequent premium payments, minus any subsequent adjusted partial surrenders.

 

 

20


Table of Contents

 

This step-up process stops at the earlier of the annuitant’s death or 86th birthday. The then current step-up value becomes the final step-up value. The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit at the time of death is the final step-up value, plus any subsequent premium payments, minus any subsequent adjusted partial surrenders.

 

The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit is not available if the owner or annuitant is 71 or older on the contract date.

 

There is an extra charge for this death benefit (an extra 0.15% annually).

 

B.    Return of Premium Death Benefit

 

The Return of Premium Death Benefit is:

    total premium payments; less any adjusted partial surrenders as of the date of death.

 

The Return of Premium Death Benefit will be in effect if you do not choose the other death benefit option on the contract application. The charges are lower for this option.

 

Adjusted Partial Surrender

 

When you request a partial surrender, your guaranteed minimum death benefit will be reduced by an amount called the adjusted partial surrender. Under certain circumstances, the adjusted partial surrender may be more than the dollar amount of your surrender request. This will generally be the case if the guaranteed minimum death benefit exceeds the account value at the time of the surrender. It is also possible that if a death benefit is paid after you have made a partial surrender, then the total amount paid could be less than the total premium payments. We have included an explanation of this adjustment in the SAI. This is referred to as “adjusted partial withdrawal” in your contract.

 

9.    TAXES

 

NOTE: Transamerica has 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. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own circumstances. Transamerica has 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 you will not be taxed on the earnings, if any, on the money held in your annuity contract until you take the money out. This is referred to as tax deferral. 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 surrender or as annuity payments, and tax deferral will not apply.

 

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.

 

Qualified and Nonqualified Contracts

 

If you purchase the contract under an individual retirement annuity, a pension plan, or specially sponsored program, your contract is referred to as a qualified contract.

 

Qualified contracts are issued in connection with the following plans:

  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, although 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

 

 

21


Table of Contents
 

and tax-exempt organizations and permits contributions to the contract on a pre-tax basis.

  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.

 

The contract contains death benefit features that in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the account value. The 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 the death benefit may exceed this limitation, anyone using the contract in connection with such plans should consult their tax adviser. 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 provision, such as the provisions in the contract, comports with IRA qualification requirements.

 

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.

 

Surrenders—Qualified Contracts

 

The information herein describing the taxation of nonqualified contracts does not apply to qualified contracts.

 

There are special rules that govern with respect to qualified contracts. 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.

 

 

In addition, a penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the contract prior to the date you reach age 59½, 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.

 

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

 

Surrenders—403(b) Contracts

 

The Internal Revenue Code limits surrenders from certain 403(b) contracts. Surrenders can generally only be made when an owner:

  reaches age 59½
  leaves his/her job;
  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 surrender the premium payments and not any earnings.

 

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. Transamerica may modify the contract to attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.

 

Surrenders—Nonqualified Contracts

 

If you make a surrender (including Systematic Payouts) from a nonqualified contract before the annuity commencement date, the Internal Revenue Code treats that surrender as first coming from earnings and then from your premium payments. When you make a surrender you are

 

 

22


Table of Contents

taxed on the amount of the surrender that is earnings. If you make a full surrender, you are generally taxed on the amount that your surrender proceeds exceeds the “investment in the contract,” which is generally your premium payments paid (adjusted for any prior surrenders or portions thereof that were not taxable). Different rules apply for annuity payments. See “Annuity Payments” below.

 

The Internal Revenue Code also provides that 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 surrenders will be exempt from the penalty tax. They include any amounts:

  paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½;
  paid after an owner dies;
  paid if the taxpayer becomes totally 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.

 

All nonqualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by Transamerica (or its 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.

 

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

 

Amounts may be distributed from the contract because of the death of an owner or 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 full 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 contracts, 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.

 

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 for your last taxable year.

 

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

Table of Contents

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.

 

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, or a change of annuitant, 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.

 

Possible Tax Law Changes

 

Although the likelihood of legislative changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the contract could change by legislation or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legal developments and their effect on the contract.

 

10.    ADDITIONAL FEATURES

 

Systematic Payout Option

 

You can select at any time (during the accumulation phase) to receive regular payments from your contract by using the Systematic Payout Option. Under this option, you can receive up to the greater of (1) or (2), divided by the number of payouts made per year, where:

(1)   is up to 10% (annually) of your premium payments (less partial surrenders deemed to be from premium payments); and
(2)   is any gains in the contract.

 

 

This amount may be taken free of surrender charges.

 

Payments can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually and will not begin until one payment period from the date we receive your instructions. Each payment must be at least $50. Monthly and quarterly payments must be made by electronic funds transfer directly to your checking or savings account. There is no charge for this benefit.

 

If you request an additional surrender while Systematic Payout Option is in effect, the Systematic Payout Option will terminate.

 

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

 

During the accumulation phase, you may instruct us to automatically make transfers into one or more variable subaccounts in accordance with your allocation instructions. This is known as Dollar Cost Averaging. While Dollar Cost Averaging buys more accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices are high, it does not guarantee profits or assure that you will not experience a loss.

 

There are two Dollar Cost Averaging programs available under your contract:

  Traditional—You may specify the dollar amount to be transferred or the number of transfers. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started.
  Special—You may elect either a six or twelve month program. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. You cannot transfer from another investment option into a Special Dollar Cost Averaging program.

 

A minimum of $250 per transfer is required. A minimum of $1,500 is required to start a 6-month program and $3,000 is required to start a 12-month program. The minimum number of monthly or quarterly transfers is 6 and 4, respectively and the maximum is 24 and 8, respectively.

 

You can elect to transfer from one of the fixed or variable sources listed on the Dollar Cost Averaging election form (only fixed sources are available for special Dollar Cost Averaging programs).

 

 

24


Table of Contents

 

A Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin once we receive the required instructions and the minimum required premium. If we receive additional premium payments while a Dollar Cost Averaging program is running, absent new instructions to the contrary, the amount of the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will increase but the length of the Dollar Cost Averaging program will not. If we receive additional premium payments after a Dollar Cost Averaging program is completed, absent new instructions to the contrary, a new Dollar Cost Averaging program will be started using the previous instructions (assuming it meets the minimum Dollar Cost Averaging requirements).

 

NOTE CAREFULLY:

IF:

  We do not receive all necessary information to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging program within 30 days of allocating the minimum required amount to a Dollar Cost Averaging program; or
  We do not receive the minimum required amount to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging program within 30 days of allocating an insufficient amount;

 

THEN:

  Any amount in a fixed source will be transferred to the money market investment option; and
  Any amount in a variable source will remain in that variable investment option; and
  New instructions will be required to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging program.

 

IF:

  You discontinue a Dollar Cost Averaging program before its completion;

 

THEN:

  We will, absent new instructions to the contrary, transfer any remaining balance directly into the subaccounts in the Dollar Cost Averaging instructions.

 

You should consider your ability to continue a Dollar Cost Averaging program during all economic conditions.

 

 

There is no charge for this benefit.

 

The Dollar Cost Averaging Program may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts. See your contract for availability of the fixed account options.

 

Asset Rebalancing

 

During the accumulation phase you can instruct us to automatically rebalance the amounts in your subaccounts to maintain your desired asset allocation. This feature is called Asset Rebalancing and can be started and stopped at any time free of charge. However, we will not rebalance if you are in the Dollar Cost Averaging program or if any other transfer is requested. If you request a transfer, we will honor the requested transfer and discontinue Asset Rebalancing. New instructions are required to start Asset Rebalancing. Asset Rebalancing ignores amounts in the fixed account. You can choose to rebalance monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

 

11.    OTHER INFORMATION

 

Ownership

 

You, as owner of the contract, exercise all rights under the contract. You can change the owner at any time by notifying us in writing. An ownership change may be a taxable event.

 

Assignment

 

You can also assign the contract any time during your lifetime. We will not be bound by the assignment until we receive written notice of the assignment. We will not be liable for any payment or other action we take in accordance with the contract before we receive notice of the assignment. There may be limitations on your ability to assign a contract. An assignment may have tax consequences.

 

Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

 

Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York was merged with and into AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. on or about April 1, 2003,

 

 

25


Table of Contents

and the name was changed to Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company. Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 3, 1947. It is engaged in the sale of life and health insurance and annuity policies. Transamerica is a Transamerica Company and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of AEGON USA, Inc., 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 AEGON USA, Inc. 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. Transamerica is licensed in the District of Columbia, and in all states except Hawaii.

 

All obligations arising under the contracts, including the promise to make annuity payments, are general corporate obligations of Transamerica.

 

The Separate Account

 

Transamerica established a separate account, called Separate Account VA-2LNY, under the laws of the State of New York on June 23, 1992. The separate account receives and invests the premium payments that are allocated to it for investment in shares of the underlying fund portfolios.

 

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 Transamerica. Income, gains and losses (whether or not realized), from assets allocated to the separate account, are in accordance with the contracts, credited to or charged against the separate account without regard to Transamerica’s other income, gains or losses.

 

The assets of the separate account are held in Transamerica’s name on behalf of the separate account and belong to Transamerica. However, those assets that underlie the contracts are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Transamerica may conduct. The separate account may include other subaccounts that are not available under these contracts.

 

Mixed and Shared Funding

 

Before making a decision concerning the allocation of premium payments to a particular subaccount, please read the prospectuses for the underlying funds/portfolios. The underlying funds/portfolios are not limited to selling their shares to this separate account and can accept investments from any separate account or qualified retirement plan. Since the underlying funds/portfolios are available to registered separate accounts offering variable annuity products of Transamerica, as well as variable annuity and variable life products of other insurance companies, and qualified retirement plans, there is a possibility that a material conflict may arise between the interests of this variable account and one or more of the other accounts of another participating insurance company. In the event of a material conflict, the affected insurance companies, including Transamerica, agree to take any necessary steps to resolve the matter. This may include removing their variable accounts from the underlying funds/portfolios. See the underlying funds’/portfolios’ prospectuses for more details.

 

Exchanges and Reinstatements

 

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, then there will be a new surrender charge period and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits under this annuity may be different. 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 trying to sell you this contract (that person will generally earn a commission if you buy this contract through an exchange or otherwise).

 

You may surrender your contract and transfer your money directly to another life insurance

 

 

26


Table of Contents

company (sometimes referred to as a 1035 Exchange or a trustee-to-trustee transfer). You may also ask us to reinstate your contract after such a transfer by returning the same total dollar amount of funds to the applicable investment choices. The dollar amount will be used to purchase new accumulation units at the then-current price. Because of changes in market value, your new accumulation units may be worth more or less than the units you previously owned. We recommend that you consult a tax professional to explain the possible tax consequences of exchanges and/or reinstatements.

 

Voting Rights

 

Transamerica will vote all shares of the underlying funds/portfolios held in the variable account in accordance with instructions we receive from you and other owners that have voting interests in the funds/portfolios. We will send you and other owners written requests for instructions on how to vote those shares. When we receive those instructions, we will vote all of the shares in proportion to those instructions. If, however, 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.

 

Distributor of the Contracts

 

AFSG Securities Corporation is the principal underwriter of the contracts. Like Transamerica, it is a Transamerica Company and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of AEGON USA, Inc. It is located at 4333 Edgewood Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52499-0001. AFSG Securities Corporation is registered as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. It is a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (NASD).

 

Commissions of up to 6.25% of premium payments will be paid to broker/dealers who sell the contracts under agreements with AFSG Securities Corporation. These commissions are not deducted from premium payments. In addition, certain production, persistency and managerial bonuses may be paid. Transamerica may also pay compensation to financial institutions for their services in connection with the sale and servicing of the contracts.

 

To the extent permitted by NASD rules, promotional incentives or payments may also be provided to broker/dealers based on sales volumes, the assumption of wholesaling functions, or other sales-related criteria. Other payments may be made for other services that do not directly involve the sale of the contracts. These services may include the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature, and similar services.

 

Transamerica intends to recoup commissions and other sales expenses primarily, but not exclusively, through:

  the administrative charge;
  the surrender charge;
  the mortality and expense risk fee;
  revenues, if any, that we receive from the underlying funds/portfolios or their managers; and
  investment earnings on amounts allocated to the fixed account.

 

Commissions paid on the contracts, including other incentives or payments, are not charged to the contract owners or the separate account.

 

IMSA

 

We are a member of the Insurance Marketplace Standards Association (IMSA). IMSA is an independent, voluntary organization of life insurance companies. It promotes ethical standards in the sales and advertising of individual life insurance, long-term care insurance, and annuity products. Through its Principles and Code of Ethical Market Conduct, IMSA encourages its member companies to develop and implement policies and procedures to promote sound market practices. Companies must undergo a rigorous self and independent assessment of their practices to become a member of IMSA. The IMSA logo in our sales literature shows our ongoing commitment to these standards. You may find more information about IMSA and its ethical standards at www.imsaethics.org. in the “Consumer” section or by contacting IMSA at: 202-624-2121.

Legal Proceedings

 

There are no legal proceedings to which the separate account is a party or to which the assets of the account are subject. Transamerica, 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, Transamerica 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 or Transamerica.

APPENDIX B

 

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

 

Standard Performance Data

 

Transamerica may advertise historical yields and total returns for the subaccounts of the separate account. In addition, Transamerica may advertise the effective yield of the subaccount investing in the Money Market Portfolio (the “Money Market Subaccount”). These figures will be calculated according to standardized methods prescribed by the SEC. They are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance.

 

Money Market Subaccount.    The yield of the Money Market Subaccount for a contract refers to the annualized income generated by an investment under a contract in the subaccount over a specified seven-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the income generated for that seven-day period is generated each seven-day period over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the investment. The effective yield is calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment under a contract in the subaccount is assumed to be reinvested. The effective yield will be slightly higher than the yield because of the compounding effect of this assumed reinvestment.

 

Other Subaccounts.    The yield of an underlying fund subaccount (other than the Money Market Subaccount) for a contract refers to the annualized income generated by an investment under a contract in the subaccount over a specified thirty-day period. The yield is calculated by assuming that the income generated by the investment during that thirty-day period is generated each thirty-day period over a  12-month period and is shown as a percentage of the investment.

 

The total return of a subaccount refers to return quotations assuming an investment under a contract has been held in the subaccount for various periods of time including a period measured from the date the subaccount commenced operations. When a subaccount has been in operation for one, five, and ten years, respectively, the total return for these periods will be provided. The total return quotations for a subaccount will represent the average annual compounded rates of return that equate an initial investment of $1,000 in the subaccount to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day of each of the periods for which total return quotations are provided.

 

The yield and total return calculations for a subaccount do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes that may be applicable to a particular contract. To the extent that a premium tax and/or surrender charge is applicable to a particular contract, the yield and/or total return of that contract will be reduced. For additional information regarding yields and total returns calculated using the standard formats briefly summarized above, please refer to the Statement of Additional Information, a copy of which may be obtained from the service office of Transamerica upon request.

 

Based on the method of calculation described in the SAI, the average annual total returns for periods from inception of the subaccounts to December 31, 2002, and for the one and five year periods ended December 31, 2002 are shown in Table 1 below. Total returns shown reflect deductions for the mortality and expense risk fee, the administrative charges, including an administration charge of $30 per annum adjusted for average account size. Standard total return calculations will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular period. Table 1 figures do not reflect any charge for riders or other optional features.

(1)   Service Class Shares were not available until December 31, 2000. The performance figures reflect the performance of the portfolio’s Initial Class Shares through December 29, 2000 and the portfolio’s Service Class Shares thereafter. Because the Service Class shares are subject to a 12b-1 fee, the performance figures presented, with the exception of the 1 year total returns, are higher than they would have been had Service Class Shares been offered for the entire period.

The figures in the above tables may reflect waiver of advisory fees and reimbursement of other expenses. In the absence of such waivers, the average annual total return figures would have been lower. (See the Fee Table.)

Non-Standard Performance Data

 

In addition to the standard data discussed above, similar performance data for other periods may also be shown.

 

Transamerica may present the total return data described above on a non-standard basis. This means that the data may not be reduced by all the fees and charges under the contract and that the data may be presented for different time periods and for different premium payment amounts. Non-standard performance data will only be disclosed if standard performance data for the required periods is also disclosed. Table 2 shows average annual total returns of the subaccount since their inception reduced by all fees and charges under the contract except surrender charges.

Table of Contents

 

In order to supplement the description in the prospectus, the following provides additional information about Transamerica and the contract, which may be of interest to a prospective purchaser.

 

THE ANNUITY CONTRACT—GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Owner

 

The contract shall belong to the owner upon issuance of the contract after completion of an application and delivery of the initial premium payment. While the annuitant is living, the owner may: (1) assign the contract; (2) surrender the contract; (3) amend or modify the contract with Transamerica’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.

 

Note carefully. If the owner predeceases the annuitant and no joint owner, primary beneficiary, or contingent beneficiary is alive or in existence on the date of death, the owner’s estate will become the new owner. If no probate estate is opened because the owner has precluded the opening of a probate estate by means of a trust or other instrument, that trust may not exercise ownership rights to the contract. It may be necessary to open a probate estate in order to exercise ownership rights to the contract.

 

The owner may change the ownership of the contract in a written notice. When this change takes effect, all rights of ownership in the contract will pass to the new owner. A change of ownership may have adverse tax consequences.

 

When there is a change of owner, the change will not be effective until it is recorded in our records. Once recorded, it will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, subject to any payment Transamerica has made or action Transamerica has taken before recording the change. Changing the owner but does not change the designation of the beneficiary or the annuitant.

 

If ownership is transferred to a new owner (except to the owner’s spouse) because the owner dies before the annuitant, the cash value generally must be distributed to the new owner within five years of the owner’s death, or payments must be made for a period certain or for the new owner’s lifetime so long as any period certain does not exceed that new owner’s life expectancy, if the first payment begins within one year of the owner’s death.

 

Entire Contract

 

The contract, any endorsements thereon, and the applications constitute the entire contract between Transamerica 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 Sex

 

If the age or sex of the annuitant has been misstated, Transamerica will change the annuity benefit payable to that which the premium payments would have purchased for the correct age or sex. The dollar amount of any

 

5


Table of Contents

underpayment made by Transamerica shall be paid in full with the next payment due such person or the beneficiary. The dollar amount of any overpayment made by Transamerica 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 satisfactory to Transamerica.

 

Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investments

 

Transamerica cannot and does not guarantee that any of the subaccounts will always be available for premium payments, allocations, or transfers. Transamerica retains the right, subject to any applicable law, to make certain changes in the separate account and its investments. Transamerica reserves the right to eliminate the shares of any portfolio held by a subaccount and to substitute shares of another portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios, or of another registered open-end management investment company for the shares of any portfolio, if the shares of the portfolio are no longer available for investment or if, in Transamerica’s judgment, investment in any portfolio would be inappropriate in view of the purposes of the separate account. To the extent required by the 1940 Act, substitutions of shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount will not be made without prior notice to you and the prior approval of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Nothing contained herein shall prevent the separate account from purchasing other securities for other series or classes of variable annuity contracts, or from effecting an exchange between series or classes of variable annuity contracts on the basis of your requests.

 

New subaccounts may be established when, in the sole discretion of Transamerica, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant. Any new subaccounts may be made available to existing owners on a basis to be determined by Transamerica. Each additional subaccount will purchase shares in a mutual fund portfolio or other investment vehicle. Transamerica may also eliminate one or more subaccounts if, in its sole discretion, marketing, tax, investment or other conditions warrant such change. In the event any subaccount is eliminated, Transamerica will notify you and request a reallocation of the amounts invested in the eliminated subaccount. If no such reallocation is provided by you, Transamerica will reinvest the amounts in the subaccount that invests in the Money Market Portfolio (or in a similar portfolio of money market instruments), in another subaccount, or in the fixed account, if appropriate.

 

In the event of any such substitution or change, Transamerica may, by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in the contracts as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. Furthermore, if deemed to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the contracts, the separate account may be (i) operated as a management company under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law, (ii) deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required, or (iii) combined with one or more other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Transamerica also may (1) transfer the assets of the separate account associated with the 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 subaccounts to or remove existing subaccounts from the separate account, or combine subaccounts, or (5) add new underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new fund for an existing fund.

Table of Contents

 

Reallocation of Annuity Units After the Annuity Commencement Date

 

After the annuity commencement date, the owner may reallocate the value of a designated number of annuity units of a subaccount then credited to a contract into an equal value of annuity units of one or more other subaccounts or the fixed account. The reallocation shall be based on the relative value of the annuity units of the subaccount(s) at the end of the business day on the next payment date. The minimum amount which may be reallocated is the lesser of (1) $10 of monthly income or (2) the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the subaccount from which the transfer is being made. If the monthly income of the annuity units remaining in a subaccount after a reallocation is less than $10, Transamerica reserves the right to include the value of those annuity units as part of the transfer. The request must be in writing to Transamerica’s service office. There is no charge assessed in connection with such reallocation. A reallocation of annuity units may be made up to four times in any given contract year.

 

After the annuity commencement date, no transfers may be made from the fixed account to the separate account.

 

Annuity Payment Options

 

During the lifetime of the annuitant and prior to the annuity commencement date, the owner may choose an annuity payment option or change the election, but written notice of any election or change of election must be received by Transamerica at its service office at least thirty (30) days prior to the annuity commencement date. If no election is made prior to the annuity commencement date, annuity payments will be made under (i) Payment Option 3, life income with level payments for 10 years certain, using the existing account value of the fixed account, or (ii) under Payment Option 3, life income with variable payments for 10 years certain using the existing account value of the separate account, or (iii) in a combination of (i) and (ii).

 

The person who elects an annuity payment option can also name one or more successor payees to receive any unpaid amount Transamerica has at the death of a payee. Naming these payees cancels any prior choice of a successor payee.

 

A payee who did not elect the annuity payment option does not have the right to advance or assign payments, take the payments in one sum, or make any other change. However, the payee may be given the right to do one or more of these things if the person who elects the option tells Transamerica in writing and Transamerica agrees.

 

Variable Payment Options. The dollar amount of the first variable annuity payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the contract. The tables are based on a 5% effective annual Assumed Investment Return and the “2000 Table”, using an assumed annuity commencement date of 2005 (static projection to this point) with dynamic projection using scale G from that point (100% of G for male, 50% of G for females). The dollar amount of additional variable annuity payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s) of the separate account selected by the annuitant or beneficiary.

 

Determination of the First Variable Payment. The amount of the first variable payment depends upon the sex (if consideration of sex is allowed under state law) and adjusted age of the annuitant. The adjusted age is the annuitant’s actual age nearest birthday, on the annuity commencement date, adjusted as follows:

As determined by Transamerica

 

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. All variable annuity payments other than the first are calculated using annuity units which are credited to the contract. The number of annuity units to be credited in respect of a particular subaccount is determined by dividing that portion of the first variable annuity payment attributable to that subaccount by the annuity unit value of that subaccount on the annuity commencement date. The number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the contract then remains fixed, assuming no transfers to or from that subaccount occur. The dollar value of variable annuity units in the chosen subaccount will increase or decrease reflecting the investment experience of the chosen subaccount. The dollar amount of each variable annuity payment after the first may increase, decrease or remain constant, and equal to the sum of the amounts determined by multiplying the number of annuity units of each particular subaccount credited to the contract by the annuity unit value for the particular subaccount on the date the payment is made.

 

Death Benefit

 

Adjusted Partial Surrender. The amount of your guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced due to an adjusted partial surrender. The reduction amount depends on the relationship between your guaranteed minimum death proceeds and account value. The adjusted partial surrender is equal to (1) multiplied by (2) where:

 

(1) is the amount of the gross partial surrender;

 

(2) is the adjustment factor = current death benefit prior to the surrender divided by the account value prior to the surrender.

 

The following examples describe the effect of a surrender on the guaranteed minimum death benefit and account value.

Due proof of death of the annuitant is proof that the annuitant who is the owner died prior to the commencement of annuity payments. A certified copy of a death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a

 

9


Table of Contents

court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, a written statement by the attending physician, or any other proof satisfactory to Transamerica will constitute due proof of death.

 

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 Transamerica has sufficient information about the beneficiary 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 described above, unless a settlement agreement is effective at the death of the owner preventing such election.

 

Distribution Requirements. If the annuitant dies prior to the annuity commencement date, the death benefit must (1) be distributed within five years of the date of the deceased’s death, or (2) payments under an annuity payment option must begin no later than one year after the deceased owner’s death and must be made for the beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period certain (so long as any period certain does not exceed the beneficiary’s life expectancy). Death 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 deceased’s death. If the sole beneficiary is the deceased’s surviving spouse, such spouse may elect to continue the contract as the new annuitant and owner instead of receiving the death benefit.

 

If an owner is not the annuitant, and dies prior to the annuity commencement date, new owner may surrender the contract at any time for the amount of the adjusted account value. If the new owner is not the deceased owner’s spouse, however, the adjusted account value must be distributed: (1) within five years after the date of the deceased owner’s death, or (2) payments under an annuity payment option must begin no later than one year after the deceased owner’s death and must be made for the new owner’s lifetime or for a period certain (so long as any period certain does not exceed the new owner’s life expectancy). If the sole new owner is the deceased owner’s surviving spouse, such spouse may elect to continue the contract as a new owner instead of receiving the death benefit.

 

Beneficiary. The beneficiary designation in the application will remain in effect until changed. The owner may change the designated beneficiary by sending written notice to Transamerica. The beneficiary’s consent to such change is not required unless the beneficiary was irrevocably designated or law requires consent. (If an irrevocable beneficiary dies, the owner may then designate a new beneficiary .) The change will take effect as of the date the owner signs the written notice, whether or not the owner is living when the notice is received by Transamerica. Transamerica will not be liable for any payment made before the written notice is received. If more than one beneficiary is designated, and the owner fails to specify their interests, they will share equally. If upon death of the annuitant there is a surviving owner(s), the surviving owner(s) automatically takes the place of any beneficiary designation.

 

Death of Owner

 

Federal tax law requires that if any owner (including any joint owner or any successor owner who has become a current owner) dies before the annuity commencement date, then the entire value of the contract must generally be distributed within five years of the date of death of such owner. Certain rules apply where (1) the spouse of the deceased owner is the sole beneficiary, (2) the owner is not a natural person and the primary annuitant dies or is changed, or (3) any owner dies after the annuity commencement date. See “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences” for more information about these rules. Other rules may apply to qualified contracts.

Table of Contents

 

Assignment

 

During the lifetime of the annuitant the owner may assign any rights or benefits provided by the contract if your contract is a nonqualified contract. An assignment will not be binding on Transamerica until a copy has been filed at its service office. The rights and benefits of the owner and beneficiary are subject to the rights of the assignee. Transamerica assumes no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment. Any claim made under an assignment shall be subject to proof of interest and the extent of the assignment. An assignment may have tax consequences.

 

Unless the owner so directs by filing written notice with Transamerica, no beneficiary may assign any payments under the contract before they are due. To the extent permitted by law, no payments will be subject to the claims of any beneficiary’s creditors.

 

Ownership under qualified contracts is restricted to comply with the Code.

 

Evidence of Survival

 

Transamerica reserves the right to require satisfactory evidence that a person is alive if a payment is based on that person being alive. No payment will be made until Transamerica receives such evidence.

 

Non-Participating

 

The contract will not share in Transamerica’s surplus earnings; no dividends will be paid.

 

Amendments

 

No change in the contract is valid unless made in writing by Transamerica and approved by one of Transamerica’s officers. No registered representative has authority to change or waive any provision of the contract.

 

Transamerica reserves the right to amend the contracts to meet the requirements of the Code, regulations or published rulings. An owner can refuse such a change by giving written notice, but a refusal may result in adverse tax consequences.

 

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 their immediate family, or by an officer, director, trustee or bona-fide full-time employee of Transamerica or its affiliated companies or their immediate family. In such a case, Transamerica may credit an amount equal to a percentage of each premium payment to the contract due to lower acquisition costs Transamerica experiences on those purchases. The credit will be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as taxable income to the employee or registered representative. Transamerica may offer certain employer sponsored savings plans, in its discretion, reduced fees and charges including, but not limited to, the annual service charge, the surrender charges, the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge for certain sales under circumstances which may result in savings of certain costs and expenses. In addition, there may be other

 

11


Table of Contents

circumstances of which Transamerica is 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.

 

Present Value of Future Variable Payments

 

The present value of future variable payments is calculated by taking (a) the supportable payment on the business day we receive the surrender request, times (b) the number of payments remaining, discounted using a rate equal to the AIR.

 

Stabilized Payments

 

If you have selected a payout feature that provides for stabilized payments, please note that the stabilized payments remain constant throughout each year and are adjusted on your contract anniversary. Without stabilized payments, each payment throughout the year would fluctuate based on the performance of your selected subaccounts. To reflect the difference in these payments we adjust (both increase and decrease as appropriate) the number of annuity units. The units are adjusted when we calculate the supportable payment. Supportable payments are used in the calculation of surrender values, death benefits and transfers. On your contract anniversary we set the new stabilized payment equal to the current supportable payment. In the case of an increase in the number of variable annuity units, your participation in the future investment performance will be increased since more variable annuity units are credited to you. Conversely, in the case of a reduction of the number of variable annuity units, your participation in the future investment performance will be decreased since fewer variable annuity units are credited to you.

 

The following table demonstrates, on a purely hypothetical basis, the changes in the number of variable annuity units. The changes in the variable annuity unit values reflect the investment performance of the applicable subaccounts as well as the separate account charge.

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 Code, as amended, proposed and final Treasury Regulations thereunder, 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 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

 

The following discussion is based on the assumption that the contract qualifies as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes.

 

13


Table of Contents

 

Diversification Requirements. Section 817(h) of the Code provides that in order for a 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. The separate account, through its underlying fund portfolios and their portfolios, intends to comply with the diversification requirements of the Treasury. Transamerica has entered into agreements with each underlying fund portfolio company which requires the portfolios to be operated in compliance with the Treasury regulations.

 

Owner Control. In certain circumstances, owners of variable annuity contracts may be considered the owners, for federal income tax purposes, of the assets of the separate account used to support their contracts. In those circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be includable in the variable annuity contract owner’s gross income. Several years ago, the IRS stated in published rulings that a variable annuity contract owner will be considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents of ownership in those assets, such as the ability to exercise investment control over the assets. More recently, the Treasury Department announced in connection with the issuance of regulations concerning investment diversification, that those regulations “do not provide guidance concerning the circumstances in which investor control of the investments of a segregated asset account may cause the investor (i.e., you), rather than the insurance company, to be treated as the owner of the assets in the account.” This announcement also stated that guidance would be issued by way of regulations or rulings on the “extent to which contractholders may direct their investments to particular subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets.”

 

The ownership rights under the contract are similar to, but different in certain respects from those described by the IRS in rulings in which it was determined that contract owners were not owners of separate account assets. For example, you have the choice of more subaccounts in which to allocate premiums and account values, and may be able to transfer among these accounts more frequently than in such rulings. These differences could result in you being treated as the owner of the assets of the separate account. In addition, Transamerica does not know what standards will be set forth, if any, in the regulations or rulings that the Treasury Department has stated it expects to issue. Transamerica therefore reserves the right to modify the contracts as necessary to attempt to prevent you from being considered the owner of a pro rata share of the assets of the separate account.

 

Distribution Requirements. The Code requires that nonqualified contracts contain specific provisions for distribution of contract proceeds upon the death of the 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 annuity commencement 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 annuity commencement date, the entire interest in the contract must generally be distributed within 5 years after such owner’s date of death or be used to purchase 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 beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the “designated beneficiary” as defined in Section 72(s) of the Code. However, if upon such owner’s death prior to the annuity commencement date, such owner’s surviving spouse becomes the sole new owner under the contract, then the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner. Under the contract, the beneficiary is the designated beneficiary of an owner/annuitant and the surviving joint owner is the designated beneficiary of an owner who is not the annuitant. 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

 

14


Table of Contents

treated as the death of an owner. The 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 assure that they comply with the Code requirements when clarified by regulation or otherwise.

 

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. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested or made. 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 are subject to a mandatory federal income tax withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is a distribution from such a plan, other than specified distributions such as distributions required by the Code, distributions of certain after tax contributions, distributions in a specified annuity form, or hardship distributions. The 20% withholding does not apply, however, if the owner chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to another tax-qualified plan or IRA. Different withholding requirements may apply in the case of non-United States persons.

 

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 59½ (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 or our contract administration procedures. Owners, participants and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions with respect to the contracts comply with applicable law.

 

For qualified plans under section 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 70½ 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), distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) reaches age 70½. Each owner is responsible for requesting distributions under the contract that satisfy applicable tax rules.

 

Transamerica makes 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 adviser regarding the suitability of the contract.

 

Individual Retirement Annuities. In order to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuity 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 premium payments for any calendar year may not exceed the deductible amount specified in the Code ($3,000 for 2002), except in the case of a rollover amount or contribution under Section 402(c), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8) or 408(d)(3) of the Code; (iv) annuity payments or surrenders must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following

 

15


Table of Contents

the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age 70½; (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 account value; and (vii) the entire interest of the owner is non-forfeitable. Contracts intended to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuities 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 59½ (unless certain exceptions apply) are subject to a 10% penalty tax.

 

No part of the funds for an individual retirement account (including a Roth IRA) or annuity should be invested in a life insurance contract, but the regulations thereunder allow such funds to be invested in an annuity contract that provides a death benefit that equals the greater of the premiums paid or the cash value for the contract. The contract provides an enhanced death benefit that could exceed the amount of such a permissible death benefit, but it is unclear to what extent such an enhanced death benefit could disqualify the contract as an IRA. 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 an enhanced death benefit provision, such as the provision in the contract, comports with IRA qualification requirements.

 

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 and other special rules may apply to the rollover or conversion and to distributions attributable thereto. You should consult a tax adviser 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 $110,000 for single filers, $160,000 for married filing jointly, and $10,000 for married filing separately. Subject to special rules, the amount per individual that may be contributed to all IRAs (Roth and traditional) is the deductible amount specified in the Code ($3,000 for 2002). Secondly, the distributions are taxed differently. The Roth IRA offers tax-free distributions when made 5 tax years after the first contribution to any Roth IRA of the individual and made after attaining age 59½, 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 surrender penalty tax unless an exception applies. 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 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 premium payments or the account 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 adviser. 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, and (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 59½, separation from service, disability, or financial hardship, except

 

16


Table of Contents

that income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship.

 

Corporate Pension and 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. The contract includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the account value. The death benefit could be characterized as an incidental benefit, the amount of which is limited in an pension or profit sharing plan. Because the death benefit may exceed this limitation, employers using the contract in connection with such plans should consult their tax adviser.

 

Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457 of the Code, while not actually providing for a qualified plan as that term is normally used, provides for certain deferred compensation plans with respect to service for state governments, local governments, political sub-divisions, 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-government Section 457 plans all such investments, however, are owned by, and are subject to, the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. Depending on the terms of the particular plan, a non-government employer may be entitled to draw on deferred amounts for purposes unrelated to its Section 457 plan obligations. In general, all amounts received under a Section 457 plan are taxable and are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages.

 

Non-Natural Persons. Pursuant to Section 72(u) of the Code, an annuity 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 of (i) the sum of the account value as of the close of the taxable year and all previous distributions under the contract over (ii) the sum of the premium payments paid for the taxable year and any prior taxable year and the amounts includable in gross income for any prior taxable year with respect to the contract. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences in this paragraph, Section 72(u) of the Code does not apply to (i) a contract where the nominal owner is not a natural person but the beneficial owner of which is a natural person, (ii) a contract acquired by the estate of a decedent by reason of such decedent’s death, (iii) a qualified contract (other than one qualified under Section 457) or (iv) a single-payment annuity where the annuity commencement date is no later than one year from the date of the single premium payment; instead, such contracts are taxed as described above under the heading “Taxation of Annuities.”

 

Taxation of Transamerica

 

Transamerica 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 Transamerica and, accordingly, will not be taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code. Transamerica does 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 Transamerica with respect to the separate account, Transamerica may make a charge to that account.

INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE

 

A “net investment factor” is used to determine the value of accumulation units and annuity units, and to determine annuity payment rates.

 

Accumulation Units

 

Allocations of a premium 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 premium 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 the underlying fund portfolios less any applicable charges or fees. The investment performance of the portfolio, expenses, and deductions of certain charges affect the value of an accumulation unit.

 

Upon allocation to the selected subaccount, premium 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 service office or, in the case of the initial premium payment, when the application is completed, whichever is later. The value of an accumulation unit for each subaccount was arbitrarily established at $1 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. The owner bears this investment risk. The net investment performance of a subaccount and deduction of certain charges affects 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 Transamerica to have resulted during the valuation period from the investment operations of the subaccount and for which it has created a reserve;

 

(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

 

18


Table of Contents

 

(c)   is the charge for mortality and expense risk during the valuation period equal on an annual basis to X percent of the daily net asset value of the subaccount, where “X” depends on the Death Benefit Option and contract year, plus the 0.15% annual administrative charge.

The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share as of the end of the current valuation period.

      
    

Assume A = $11.57

B =

  

The per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution since the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.

The daily deduction for mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges, which totals 1.30% on an annual basis.

      
    

On a daily basis = 0.0000353875

      

 

Then, the net investment factor =

Then, the accumulation unit value = $X * Y = $Z

 

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

 

19


Table of Contents

investment performance of the subaccount exceeds the assumed investment return of 5% annually. Conversely, annuity unit values fall if the net investment performance of the subaccount is less than the annual assumed investment return. The value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount was established at $1 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 the subaccount on the immediately preceding business day;

 

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

 

(c)   is the investment result adjustment factor for the valuation period.

 

The investment result adjustment factor for the valuation period is the product of discount factors of 0.99986634 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 fund 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 fund 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 Transamerica determines to have resulted from the investment operations of the subaccount.

 

(ii)   is the net asset value of a fund 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 fee and administrative charge. This factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net asset value of a fund 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 vary according to the annuity option elected and the sex and adjusted age of the annuitant at the annuity commencement date. The contract also contains a table for determining the adjusted age of the annuitant.

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

 

Money Market Yields

 

Transamerica may from time to time disclose the current annualized yield of the Money Market Subaccount, which invests in the Money Market Portfolio, for a 7-day period in a manner which does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on shares of the Money Market Portfolio or on its portfolio securities. This current annualized yield is computed by determining the net change (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) at the end of the 7-day period in the value of a hypothetical account; having a balance of 1 unit of the Money Market Subaccount at the beginning of the 7-day period, dividing such net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the period to determine the base period return, and annualizing this quotient on a 365-day basis. The net change in account value reflects (i) net income from the portfolio attributable to the hypothetical account; and (ii) charges and deductions imposed under a contract that are attributable to the hypothetical account. The charges and deductions include the per unit charges for the hypothetical account for (i) the administrative charges; and (ii) the mortality and expense risk fee. Current Yield will be calculated according to the following formula:

 

Current Yield = ((NCS – ES)/UV) * (365/7)

Where:

 

NCS

  

=

  

The net change in the value of the portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 subaccount unit.

ES

  

=

  

Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.

UV

  

=

  

The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.

 

Because of the charges and deductions imposed under a contract, the yield for the Money Market Subaccount will be lower than the yield for the Money Market Portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes or surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular contract. Surrender charges range

 

22


Table of Contents

from 7% to 0% of the amount of premium surrendered based on the contract year since payment of the premium. However, surrender charges will not be assessed after the seventh contract year.

 

Transamerica may also disclose the effective yield of the Money Market Subaccount for the same 7-day period, determined on a compounded basis. The effective yield is calculated by compounding the base period return according to the following formula:

 

Effective Yield = (1 + ((NCS – ES)/UV))365/7 – 1

 

Where:

 

NCS

  

=

  

The net change in the value of the Portfolio (exclusive of realized gains and losses on the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation and income other than investment income) for the 7-day period attributable to a hypothetical account having a balance of 1 subaccount unit.

ES

  

=

  

Per unit expenses of the subaccount for the 7-day period.

UV

  

=

  

The unit value on the first day of the 7-day period.

 

The yield on amounts held in the 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 Money Market Subaccount’s actual yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of the Money Market Portfolio, the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the Money Market Portfolio and its operating expenses. For the seven days ended December 31, 2002, the yield of the Money Market Subaccount was (0.505%), and the effective yield was (0.504%) for the Greater of 5% Annually Compounding through age 85 Death Benefit or Annual Step-Up through age 85 Death Benefit. There is no yield or effective yield for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit or Return of Premium Death Benefit for the seven days ended December 31, 2002, because those death benefits were not available during that period.

 

Other Subaccount Yields

 

Transamerica may from time to time advertise or disclose the current annualized yield of one or more of the subaccounts (except the Money Market Subaccount) for 30-day periods. The annualized yield of a subaccount refers to income generated by the subaccount over a specific 30-day period. Because the yield is annualized, the yield generated by a subaccount during the 30-day period is assumed to be generated each 30-day period over a 12-month period. The yield is computed by: (i) dividing the net investment income of the subaccount less subaccount expenses for the period, by (ii) the maximum offering price per unit on the last day of the period times the daily average number of units outstanding for the period, (iii) compounding that yield for a 6-month period, and (iv) multiplying that result by 2. Expenses attributable to the subaccount include (i) the administrative charge and (ii) the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge. The 30-day yield is calculated according to the following formula:

 

Yield = 2 * ((((NI – ES)/(U – UV)) + 1)6 – 1)

 

Where:

 

NI

  

=

  

Net investment income of the subaccount for the 30-day period attributable to the subaccount’s unit.

 

23


Table of Contents

ES

  

=

  

Expenses of the subaccount for the 30-day period.

U

  

=

  

The average number of units outstanding.

UV

  

=

  

The unit value at the close (highest) of the last day in the 30-day period.

 

Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the separate account, the yield for a subaccount will be lower than the yield for its corresponding portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes or surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular contract. Surrender charges range from 7% to 0% of the amount of premium payments surrendered based on the number of years since the premium payment was made.

 

The yield on amounts held in the subaccounts normally will fluctuate over time. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The types and quality of its investments and its operating expenses affect a subaccount’s actual yield.

 

Total Returns

 

Transamerica may from time to time also advertise or disclose total returns for one or more of the subaccounts for various periods of time. One of the periods of time will include the period measured from the date the subaccount commenced operations. When a subaccount has been in operation for 1, 5 and 10 years, respectively, the total return for these periods will be provided. Total returns for other periods of time may from time to time also be disclosed. Total returns represent the average annual compounded rates of return that would equate an initial investment of $1,000 to the redemption value of that investment as of the last day of each of the periods. The ending date for each period for which total return quotations are provided will be for the most recent month end practicable, considering the type and media of the communication and will be stated in the communication.

 

Total returns will be calculated using subaccount unit values which Transamerica calculates on each business day based on the performance of the separate account’s underlying fund portfolio and the deductions for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charges. Total return calculations will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular period. The total return will then be calculated according to the following formula:

 

P(1 + T)N = ERV

 

Where:

 

T

  

=

  

The average annual total return net of subaccount recurring charges.

ERV

  

=

  

The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical account at the end of the period.

P

  

=

  

A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.

N

  

=

  

The number of years in the period.

 

Other Performance Data

 

Transamerica may from time to time also disclose average annual total returns in a non-standard format in conjunction with the standard format described above. The non-standard format will be identical to the standard format except that the surrender charge percentage will be assumed to be 0%.

 

24


Table of Contents

 

Transamerica may from time to time also disclose cumulative total returns in conjunction with the standard format described above. The cumulative returns will be calculated using the following formula assuming that the surrender charge percentage will be 0%.

 

CTR = (ERV / P) – 1

 

Where:

CTR

  

=

  

The cumulative total return net of subaccount recurring charges for the period.

ERV

  

=

  

The ending redeemable value of the hypothetical investment at the end of the period.

P

  

=

  

A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.

 

All non-standard performance data will only be advertised if the standard performance data is also disclosed.

 

Adjusted Historical Performance Data

 

From time to time, sales literature or advertisements may quote average annual total returns for periods prior to the date a particular subaccount commenced operations. Such performance information for the subaccounts will be calculated based on the performance of the various portfolios and the assumption that the subaccounts were in existence for the same periods as those indicated for the portfolios, with the level of contract charges that are currently in effect.

 

PUBLISHED RATINGS

 

Transamerica may from time to time publish in advertisements, sales literature and reports to owners, the ratings and other information assigned to it by one or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor’s Insurance Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service and Fitch Financial Ratings. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect the financial strength of Transamerica. The ratings should not be considered as bearing on the investment performance of assets held in the separate account or of the safety or riskiness of an investment in the separate account. Each year the A.M. Best Company reviews the financial status of thousands of insurers, culminating in the assignment of Best’s Ratings. These ratings reflect their current opinion of the relative financial strength and operating performance of an insurance company in comparison to the norms of the life/health insurance industry. In addition, these ratings may be referred to in advertisements or sales literature or in reports to owners. These ratings are opinions of an operating insurance company’s financial capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance contracts in accordance with their terms.

 

STATE REGULATION OF TRANSAMERICA

 

Transamerica is subject to the laws of New York governing insurance companies and to regulation by the New York Department of Insurance. An annual statement in a prescribed form is filed with the Department of Insurance each year covering the operation of Transamerica for the preceding year and its financial condition as of the end of such year. Regulation by the Department of Insurance includes periodic examination to determine Transamerica’s contract liabilities and reserves so that the Department may determine the items are correct. Transamerica’s books and accounts are subject to review by the Department of Insurance at all times and a full examination of its operations is conducted periodically by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. In addition, Transamerica is subject to regulation under the insurance laws of other jurisdictions in which it may operate.

 

25


Table of Contents

ADMINISTRATION

 

Transamerica performs administrative services for the contracts. These services include issuance of the contracts, maintenance of records concerning the contracts, and certain valuation services.

 

RECORDS AND REPORTS

 

All records and accounts relating to the separate account will be maintained by Transamerica. As presently required by the 1940 Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated thereunder, Transamerica will mail to all owners at their last known address of record, at least annually, reports containing such information as may be required under that Act or by any other applicable law or regulation. Owners will also receive confirmation of each financial transaction and any other reports required by law or regulation. However, for certain routine transactions (for example, regular monthly premiums deducted from your checking account, or regular annuity payments Transamerica sends to you) you may only receive quarterly confirmations.

 

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

 

The contracts are offered to the public through brokers licensed under the federal securities laws and state insurance laws. The offering of the contracts is continuous and Transamerica does not anticipate discontinuing the offering of the contracts, however, Transamerica reserves the right to do so.

 

Prior to May 1, 2002, the co-principal underwriters of the contracts were Transamerica Securities Sales Corporation (“TSSC”) and Transamerica Financial Resources, Inc. (“TFR”). During fiscal years 2002, 2001 and 2000, $486,731.95, $1,770,774.93, and $7,700,616.77, respectively, in commissions was paid to TSSC and TFR as co-underwriters of the contracts; no amounts were retained by TSSC or TFR. As of May 1, 2002, AFSG Securities Corporation, an affiliate of Transamerica, is the principal underwriter of the contracts and may enter into agreements with broker-dealers for the distribution of the contracts. During fiscal year 2002, $1,928,585.21 commissions was paid to AFSG Securities Corporation as underwriter of the contracts; no amounts were retained by AFSG Securities Corporation.

 

VOTING RIGHTS

 

To the extent required by law, Transamerica will vote the underlying fund portfolios’ shares held by the separate account at regular and special shareholder meetings of the underlying fund portfolios in accordance with instructions received from persons having voting interests in the portfolios, although none of the underlying fund portfolios hold regular annual shareholder meetings. If, however, the 1940 Act or any regulation thereunder should be amended or if the present interpretation thereof should change, and as a result Transamerica determines that it is permitted to vote the underlying fund portfolios’ shares in its own right, it may elect to do so.

 

Before the annuity commencement date, you hold the voting interest in the selected portfolios. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct will be calculated separately for each subaccount. The number of votes that you have the right to instruct for a particular subaccount will be determined by dividing your account value in the subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio in which the subaccount invests. Fractional shares will be counted.

 

26


Table of Contents

 

After the annuity commencement date, the person receiving annuity payments has the voting interest, and the number of votes decreases as annuity payments are made and as the reserves for the contract decrease. The person’s number of votes will be determined by dividing the reserve for the contract allocated to the applicable subaccount by the net asset value per share of the corresponding portfolio. Fractional shares will be counted.

 

The number of votes that you or the person receiving income payments has the right to instruct will be determined as of the date established by the underlying fund portfolio for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the meeting of the underlying fund portfolio. Transamerica will solicit voting instructions by sending you, or other persons entitled to vote, written requests for instructions prior to that meeting in accordance with procedures established by the underlying fund portfolio. Portfolio shares as to which no timely instructions are received and shares held by Transamerica in which you, or other persons entitled to vote, have no beneficial interest will be voted in proportion to the voting instructions that are received with respect to all contracts participating in the same subaccount.

 

Each person having a voting interest in a subaccount will receive proxy material, reports, and other materials relating to the appropriate portfolio.

 

OTHER PRODUCTS

 

Transamerica may make other variable annuity contracts available that may also be funded through the separate account. These variable annuity contracts may have different features, such as different investment options or charges.

 

CUSTODY OF ASSETS

 

Transamerica holds the assets of each of the subaccounts. The assets of each of the subaccounts are segregated and held separate and apart from the assets of the other subaccounts and from Transamerica’s general account assets. Transamerica maintains records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the underlying fund portfolios held by each of the subaccounts. Additional protection for the assets of the separate account is afforded by Transamerica’s fidelity bond, presently in the amount of $5,000,000, covering the acts of officers and employees of Transamerica.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP, of Washington D.C. has provided legal advice for Transamerica relating to certain matters under the federal securities laws applicable to the issue and sale of the contracts.

Report of Independent Auditors

 

The Board of Directors

AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. (an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V.) as of December 31, 2002 and 2001, 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, 2002. 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 did not audit the “separate account assets” and “separate account liabilities” included in the statutory-basis balance sheets of the Company. The Separate Account balance sheets were audited by other auditors whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the data included for the Separate Accounts, is based solely upon the reports of the other auditors.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors 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 Department of Insurance of the State of New York, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The variances between such practices and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the financial position of AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, or the results of its operations or its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002.

 

However, in our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. at December 31, 2002 and 2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department of Insurance of the State of New York. Also, in our opinion, the related statutory-basis 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 2 to the financial statements, in 2002 and 2001 AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. changed various accounting policies to be in accordance with the revised NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, as adopted by the Department of Insurance of the State of New York.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. (the Company) is a stock life insurance company and is a wholly owned subsidiary of First AUSA Life Insurance Company (First AUSA), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON USA, Inc. (AEGON). AEGON is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands. Effective September 24, 1993, First AUSA purchased from The Dreyfus Corporation (Dreyfus), its entire interest in Dreyfus Life Insurance Company and subsequently changed the name to AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. On December 31, 1993, the Company entered into an assumption reinsurance agreement with Mutual of New York (MONY) to transfer certain group pension business of MONY to the Company.

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company primarily sells fixed and variable annuities, group life coverages, and guaranteed interest contracts and funding agreements. The Company is licensed in 50 states and the District of Columbia. Sales of the Company’s products are primarily through brokers.

 

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

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Investments:  Investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or market value based on their rating by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC); 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 operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of capital and surplus for those designated as available-for-sale.

 

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 it is determined that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows. Prior to April 1, 2001 under GAAP, the Company accounted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions in the same manner. Effective April 1, 2001 for GAAP purposes, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets, other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used.

 

Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis. Changes between depreciated cost and admitted asset investment amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than to income as would be required under GAAP.

 

Valuation allowances, if necessary, are established for mortgage loans 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.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans as a result of a temporary impairment are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus, 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. 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 pretax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.

 

The “asset valuation reserve” (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.

 

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” are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheets.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Universal Life and Annuity Policies:  Subsequent to January 1, 2001, revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received and benefits incurred 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 or benefits paid. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits. Prior to January 1, 2001, all revenues for universal life and annuity policies consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of surrender and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Under GAAP, for universal life, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value and interest credited to the account values. 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:  A liability for reinsurance balances has been provided for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to those amounts 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 received rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

Deferred Income Taxes:  Effective October 1, 2002, deferred 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 by the end of the subsequent calendar year, plus 2) the lesser of the remaining gross of deferred tax assets expected to be realized within one year of the balance sheet date or 10 percent of capital and surplus excluding any net deferred tax assets, EDP equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus 3) the amount of remaining gross deferred tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred tax liabilities. The remaining deferred tax assets are non-admitted. Deferred taxes do not include amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred taxes, a deferred tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred tax assets expected to be realized in future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred tax assets not expected to be realizable.

 

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 include cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

 

The effects of these variances have not been determined by the Company, but are presumed to be material.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2001, deferred taxes are not recognized by the State of New York. The Commissioner of Insurance has the right to permit other specific practices that deviate from prescribed practices.

 

A reconciliation of the Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2001 and capital and surplus at December 31, 2001 between NAIC SAP and practices prescribed or permitted by the Department of Insurance of the State of New York is shown below:

Investments

 

Investments in bonds (except those to which the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC has ascribed a value), mortgage loans on real estate and short-term investments are reported at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts. Amortization is computed using methods which result in a level yield over the expected life of the security. The Company reviews its prepayment assumptions on mortgage and other asset-backed securities at regular intervals and adjusts amortization rates retrospectively when such assumptions are changed due to experience and/or expected future patterns. Investments in preferred stocks in good standing are reported at cost. Investments in preferred stocks not in good standing are reported at the lower of cost or market. Common stocks are carried at market and the related unrealized captal gains or losses are reported in unassigned surplus. Real estate is reported at cost less allowances for depreciation. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method. Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal. Other invested assets consist principally of investments in various joint ventures and are recorded at equity in underlying net assets. Other “admitted assets” are valued principally at cost.

 

Realized capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. The AVR is established by the Company to provide for potential losses in the event of default by issuers of certain invested assets. These amounts are determined using a formula prescribed by the NAIC and are reported as a liability. The formula for the AVR provides for a corresponding adjustment for realized gains and losses.

 

Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers, in the IMR, the portion of realized 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 security.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

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, 2002 and 2001, the Company excluded investment income due and accrued of $8,139 and $2,994 respectively, with respect to such practices.

 

The carrying values of all investments are reviewed on an ongoing basis for credit deterioration. If this review indicates a decline in market value that is other than temporary, the carrying value of the investment is reduced to its estimated realizable value, or fair value, and a specific writedown is taken. Such reductions in carrying value are recognized as realized losses on investments.

 

The Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its overall interest rate risk management strategy for certain life insurance and annuity products. The net interest effect of such swap transactions is reported as an adjustment of interest income from the hedged items as incurred.

 

Deferred income for unrealized gains and losses on the securities valued at market at the time of the assumption reinsurance agreement (described in Note 6) are returned to MONY at the time of realization pursuant to the agreement.

 

Premiums

 

Subsequent to January 1, 2001, revenues for policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received and benefits incurred represent the total of surrender and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. These revenues are recognized when due. Premiums received and benefits paid 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 or benefits incurred. Prior to January 1, 2001, life, annuity, accident and health premiums were recognized as revenue when due.

 

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death and refunds portions of premiums beyond the date of death. Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Aggregate Policy Reserves

 

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.

 

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, and tabular cost have been determined by formula. On group annuity deposit funds not involving life contingencies, tabular interest has been determined by adjusting the interest credited to group annuity deposits. On other funds not involving life contingencies, tabular interest has been determined by formula.

 

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based principally upon the 1941, 1958, and 1980 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2.50 to 6.50 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method.

 

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioners’ 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 3.50 to 8.25 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.

 

Annuity reserves also include guaranteed investment contracts (GIC)s and funding agreements classified as life-type contracts as defined in Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 50, Classifications and Definitions of Insurance or Managed Care Contracts In Force.” These liabilities have annuitization options at guaranteed rates and consist of floating interest rate and fixed interest rate contracts. The contract reserves are carried at the greater of the account balance or the value as determined for an annuity with a cash settlement option, on a change in fund basis, according to the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)

 

 

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Accident and health policy reserves are equal to the greater of the gross unearned premiums or any required midterminal reserves plus net unearned premiums and the present value of amounts not yet due on both reported and unreported claims.

 

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 GICs, funding agreements, and other annuity contracts. Deposits and withdrawals received on these contracts are recorded as a direct increase or decrease to the liability balance, and are not reflected as premiums, benefits, or changes in reserves in the statement of operations.

 

Separate Accounts

 

Assets held in trust for purchases of separate account contracts and the Company’s corresponding obligation to the contract owners are shown separately in the balance sheets. Income and gains and losses with respect to these assets accrue to the benefit of the contract owners and, accordingly, the operations of the separate accounts are not included in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Certain separate account assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying financial statements contain contractual guarantees. Guaranteed separate accounts represent funds invested by the Company for the benefit of individual contract holders who are guaranteed certain returns as specified in the contracts. Separate account asset performance different than guaranteed requirements is either transferred to or received from the general account and reported in the statements of operations. Guaranteed separate account assets and liabilities are reported at estimated fair value except for certain government and fixed-rate separate accounts, which are carried at amortized cost.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

The assets and liabilities of the nonguaranteed separate accounts are carried at estimated fair value.

 

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 inforce blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and will be amortized into income over the estimated life of the policies. Premiums ceded and recoverable losses have been reported as a reduction of premium income and benefits, respectively.

 

Stock Option Plan

 

AEGON N.V. sponsors a stock option plan that includes eligible employees of the Company. Pursuant to the plan, the option price at the date of grant is equal to the market value of the stock. Under statutory accounting principles, the Company does not record any expense related to this plan. However, the Company is allowed to record a deduction in the consolidated tax return filed by the Company and certain affiliates. The tax benefit of this deduction has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 and 2000 financial statements to conform to the 2002 presentation.

 

2. Accounting Changes

 

The Company prepares its statutory-basis financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of New York. Effective January 1, 2001, the State of New York required that insurance companies domiciled in the State of New York prepare their statutory-basis financial statements in accordance with the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual subject to any deviations prescribed or permitted by the State of New York insurance commissioner.

2. Accounting Changes (continued)

 

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual are reported as changes in accounting principles. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is reported as an adjustment to unassigned surplus in the period of the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of capital and surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of capital and surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principles had been applied retroactively for all prior periods. As a result of these changes, the Company reported a change in accounting principle, as an adjustment that decreased capital and surplus, of $1,365 as of January 1, 2001. This amount included the release of mortgage loan prepayment fees from IMR of $1,069 and the elimination of the cost of collection liability of $96 offset by the release of mortgage loan origination fees of $772 and bond writedowns of $1,758.

 

Effective October 1, 2002, as a result in a change in New York regulations, the Company adopted SSAP 10, Income Taxes. The effect of this accounting change resulted in an increase in capital and surplus of $24,860 and was accounted for as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles.

 

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company will adopt the provisions of SSAP No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging, Income Generation, and Replication (Synthetic Asset) Transactions. SSAP No. 86 supercedes SSAP No. 31, Derivative Instruments, and is effective for derivative transactions entered into or modified on or after January 1, 2003. SSAP No. 31 continues to apply to derivative transactions in place prior to January 1, 2003, however the Company can elect to apply SSAP No. 86 to these transactions as well. The Company has elected to adopt SSAP No. 86 for all existing and future derivative transactions. SSAP No. 86 adopts the general framework of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities, which addresses the accounting for derivatives in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. SSAP No. 86 differs from SFAS No. 133 in that it allows the derivative instrument to be carried consistent in a manner with the hedged item rather than at fair value. SSAP No. 86 also does not require the separate accounting for embedded derivatives as required by SFAS No. 133. The Company believes that the adoption of this statement will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations in future periods.

3. Capital Structure

 

During 2001, the Company exchanged 3,534 shares of its common stock with 44,175 shares of preferred stock. The par value of the preferred stock is $10 per share and is non-voting. The liquidation value is equal to par value plus the additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. Holders of the preferred shares shall be entitled to a 6% non-cumulative dividend.

 

4. 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 and short-term investments: The carrying amounts reported in the statutory-basis balance sheet for these instruments approximate their fair values.

 

Investment securities: Fair values for bonds (including redeemable preferred stocks) are based on quoted market prices, where available. For bonds not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services or, in the case of private placements, are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using a current market rate applicable to the yield, credit quality, and maturity of the investments. The fair values for common and preferred stocks are based on quoted market prices.

 

Mortgage loans on real estate and policy loans: 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. The fair value of policy loans is assumed to equal its carrying amount.

 

Interest rate swaps: Estimated fair values of interest rate swaps are based upon the pricing differential for similar swap agreements.

 

Short-term notes receivable from affiliates: The fair values for short-term notes receivable from affiliates are assumed to equal their carrying value.

 

Separate account assets: The fair values of separate account assets are based on quoted market prices.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Investment contracts: Fair values for the Company’s liabilities under investment-type insurance 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.

 

Separate account annuity liabilities: Separate account annuity liabilities approximate the market value of the separate account assets less a provision for the present value of future profits related to the underlying contracts.

 

Fair values for the Company’s insurance contracts other than investment 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 Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements as part of its efforts to hedge and manage fluctuations in the market value of its investment portfolio attributable to changes in general interest rate levels and to manage duration mismatch of assets and liabilities. The contract or notional amounts of those instruments reflect the extent of involvement in the various types of financial instruments.

 

The Company’s exposure to credit risk is the risk of loss from a counterparty failing to perform according to the terms of the contract. That exposure includes settlement risk (i.e., the risk that the counterparty defaults after the Company has delivered funds or securities under terms of the contract) that would result in an accounting loss and replacement cost risk (i.e., the cost to replace the contract at current market rates should the counterparty default prior to settlement date). Credit loss exposure resulting from nonperformance by a counterparty for commitments to extend credit is represented by the contractual amounts of the instruments.

6. Reinsurance

 

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

 

Premiums earned reflect the following reinsurance assumed and ceded amounts for the year ended December 31:

6. Reinsurance (continued)

 

On December 31, 1993, the Company and Mutual of New York (MONY) entered into an assumption reinsurance agreement whereby all of the general account liabilities were novated to the Company from MONY as state approvals were received. In accordance with the agreement, MONY received payments relating to the performance of the assets and liabilities that existed at the date of closing for a period of nine years. These payments have been reduced for certain administrative expenses as defined in the agreement. The Company has recognized operating gains and losses on new deposits into existing accounts received after December 31, 1993, and on all new accounts established after that date. On December 31, 2002, the Company purchased from MONY the remaining transferred business inforce for $71,886, which was charged to expense. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company also owed MONY $18,787 and $25,899, respectively, which represents the amount earned by MONY under the gain sharing calculation and certain fees for investment management services for the respective years. In connection with the transaction, MONY purchased $150,000 and $50,000 in Series A and Series B notes, respectively, of AEGON. During 2002, the Series B note was repaid to MONY.

 

AEGON provides general and administrative services for the transferred business under a related agreement with MONY. The agreement specifies prescribed rates for expenses to administer the business up to certain levels. In addition, AEGON also provides investment management services on the assets underlying the new business written by the Company while MONY continues to provide investment management services for assets supporting the remaining policy liabilities which were transferred at December 31, 1993.

 

During 2002, the Company entered into a reinsurance transaction with Transamerica International Re (Bermuda) Ltd., an affiliate of the Company. Under the terms of this transaction, the Company ceded certain traditional life insurance contracts. The net of tax impact from the cession of inforce business was $9,953, which was credited directly to unassigned surplus.

 

During 2002, the Company recaptured a reinsurance agreement from a non-affiliated company. As a result of this recapture, the Company recorded consideration on reinsurance recaptured and change in reserves of $77,057. The Company paid $6,000 to the former reinsurer and received approximately $83,000 of cash and invested assets that support the policyholder liabilities.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company joins in a consolidated income tax return filing with certain affiliated companies. Under the terms of a tax-sharing agreement between the Company and its affiliates, the Company computes federal income tax expense as if it were filing a separate income tax return, except that tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards are determined on the basis of the consolidated group. Additionally, the alternative minimum tax is computed for the consolidated group and the resulting tax, if any, is allocated back to the separate companies on the basis of the separate companies’ alternative minimum taxable income.

Federal income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to net realized capital gains (losses) on investments due to the agreement between MONY and the Company, as discussed in Note 5 to the financial statements. In accordance with this agreement, these gains and losses are included in the net payments MONY will receive relating to the performance of the assets that existed at the date of closing. Accordingly, income taxes relating to gains and losses on such assets are not provided on the income tax return filed by the Company.

 

Capital loss carryforwards of $30,826 originated during 2002 and will expire in 2007 if unused.

 

Prior to 1984, as provided for under the Life Insurance Company Tax Act of 1959, a portion of statutory income was not subject to current taxation but was accumulated for income tax purposes in a memorandum account referred to as the policyholders’ surplus account. No federal income taxes have been provided for in the financial statements on income deferred in the policyholders’ surplus account ($2,427 at December 31, 2002).

7. Income Taxes (continued)

 

To the extent dividends are paid from the amount accumulated in the policyholders’ surplus account, net earnings would be reduced by the amount of tax required to be paid. Should the entire amount in the policyholders’ surplus account become taxable, the tax thereon computed at current rates would amount to approximately $849.

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service and the statute is closed through 1995. The examination fieldwork for 1996 through 1997 has been completed and a protest of findings has been filed with the Appeals Office of the Internal Revenue Service. An examination of 1998 through 2000 is currently in process.

 

8. 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 annuity and deposit fund products. 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, are summarized as follows:

During 2002, the Company reclassified some of its fixed deferred annuities from “without future interest guarantees” to “with future interest guarantees” for the purpose of determining the appropriate valuation interest rates. This caused an increase in reserves of $721, which was charged directly to capital and surplus.

 

Reserves on the Company’s traditional life 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, 2002 and 2001, these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected) and the amounts of the related gross premiums and loading, are as follows:

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company had insurance in force aggregating $58,337,209 and $20,743,481, respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums required by the valuation standards established by the Department of Insurance of the State of New York. The Company established policy reserves of $57,482 and $16,692 to cover these deficiencies at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

9. Capital and Surplus

 

Life/health insurance companies are subject to certain Risk-Based Capital (RBC) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life/health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2002, the Company meets the RBC requirements.

 

The Company is subject to certain limitations relative to statutory surplus, imposed by the State of New York, on the payment of dividends to its parent company. Subject to availability of unassigned surplus at the time of such dividend, the maximum payment which may be made in 2003, without the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities is $51,879. This amount may be impacted by the pending merger described in Note 15.

10. Securities Lending

 

The Company may lend securities to approved brokers and other parties to earn additional income. The Company receives collateral against the loaned securities and maintains collateral in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of loaned securities is determined at the close of business and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Company on the next business day. Although risk is mitigated by collateral, the account could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the value of securities loaned amounted to $190,479 and $181,782, respectively.

 

11. Retirement and Compensation Plans

 

The Company’s employees participate in a qualified benefit pension plan sponsored by AEGON. The Company has no legal obligation for the plan. The Company recognizes pension expense equal to its allocation from AEGON. The pension expense is allocated among the participating companies based on the SFAS No. 87 expense as a percent of salaries. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the highest five consecutive years of employment. The Company’s allocation of pension expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000 was negligible. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

 

The Company’s employees also participate in a contributory 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 fifteen 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 Income Security Act of 1974. The Company was allocated $8 of expense for the year ended December 31, 2000. No amounts were allocated for the years ended December 31, 2002, and 2001.

11. Retirement and Compensation Plans (continued)

 

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 expenses of the postretirement plans calculated on the pay-as-you-go basis are charged to affiliates in accordance with an intercompany cost sharing arrangement. The Company’s allocation of postretirement expenses was negligible for each of the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000.

 

12. Related Party Transactions

 

In accordance with an agreement between AEGON and the Company, AEGON will ensure the maintenance of certain minimum tangible net worth, operating leverage and liquidity levels of the Company, as defined in the agreement, through the contribution of additional capital by the Company’s parent as needed.

 

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

 

The Company receives data processing, investment advisory and management, marketing and administration services from certain affiliates. During 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Company paid $7,768, $6,725, and $6,095, respectively, for these services, which approximates their costs to the affiliates.

 

Payable to affiliates and intercompany borrowings bear interest at the thirty-day commercial paper rate. During 2002, 2001, and 2000, the Company paid net interest of $265, $335, and $510, respectively, to affiliates.

 

During 2002, the Company received capital contributions of $130,000 in cash from its parent.

 

At December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company has net short-term notes receivables from an affiliate of $81,300 and $71,300, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company has issued Trust (synthetic) GIC contracts to plan sponsors totaling $765,197 and $546,598 at December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, pursuant to terms under which the plan sponsor retains ownership of the assets related to these contracts. The Company guarantees benefit responsiveness in the event that plan benefit requests and other contractual commitments exceed plan cash flows. The plan sponsor agrees to reimburse the Company for such benefit payments with interest, either at a fixed or floating rate, from future plan and asset cash flows. In return for this guarantee, the Company receives a premium which varies based on such elements as benefit responsive exposure and contract size. The Company underwrites the plans for the possibility of having to make benefit payments and also must agree to the investment guidelines to ensure appropriate credit quality and cash flow matching. Funding requirements to date have been minimal and management does not anticipate any future material funding requirements that would have a material effect on reported financial results. The assets relating to such contracts are not recognized in the Company’s statutory-basis financial statements. A contract reserve has been established for the possibility of unexpected benefit payments at below market interest rates.

 

The Company may pledge assets as collateral for transactions involving funding agreements and reverse repurchase agreements. At December 31, 2002, the Company has pledged invested assets with a carrying value and market value of $6,933 and $6,933, respectively, in conjunction with these transactions.

 

The Company is a party to legal proceedings incidental to its business. Although such litigation sometimes includes substantial demands for compensatory and punitive damages, in addition to contract liability, it is management’s opinion that damages arising from such demands will not be material to the Company’s financial position.

 

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. In accordance with the purchase agreement, assessments related to periods prior to the purchase of the Company will be paid by Dreyfus and assessments attributable to business reinsured from MONY for premiums received prior to the date of the transaction will be paid by MONY (see Note 1). The Company will be responsible for assessments, if any, attributable to premium income after the date of purchase. 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. Potential future obligations for unknown insolvencies are not determinable by the Company and are not required to be accrued for financial reporting purposes. The future obligation has been based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. The guaranty fund expense (credit) was $(792), $(415), and $48 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001, and 2000, respectively.

 

14. Managing General Agents

 

For the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, the Company had $28,825, $32,773 and $44,100 respectively, of direct premiums written by managing general agents.

 

15. Pending Merger

 

During 2002, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the terms and form of a merger with Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York (“TONY”), an affiliate. The Board of Directors of TONY has also approved this merger. The merger is currently pending regulatory approval, and is expected to occur on or around April 1, 2003. The Company will be the surviving corporation and it is expected that the name of the Company will be changed to Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company.

 

The pro forma financial statements in this footnote give retroactive effect as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2000 in conformity with SSAP No. 68. There were no significant elimination entries necessary for the preparation of these pro forma statements.

 

Upon final regulatory approval, this merger will be accounted for as a statutory merger, which is similar to the pooling of interest method of accounting. Accordingly, the historical book values will be carried over from TONY to the Company. The accompanying financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results that would have been recorded had the merger actually occurred on January 1, 2000, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

Report of Independent Auditors

 

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners

of Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage,

Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Separate Account VA-2LNY of Transamerica Life Insurance Company of New York (comprised of the Money Market, Special Value, Zero Coupon 2000, Quality Bond, Small Cap, Appreciation, Growth and Income, International Equity, International Value, Disciplined Stock, Small Company Stock, Limited Term High Income, Balanced, Dreyfus Stock Index, Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth, Core Bond, Core Value, MidCap Stock, Founders Growth, Founders Passport, Founders International Equity, European Equity, Technology Growth, Founders Discovery, Emerging Leaders, Emerging Markets, Japan, and Transamerica Equity subaccounts), which are available for investment by contract owners of the Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage, as of December 31, 2002, the related statements of operations for the year then ended and statements of changes in net assets for the two years in the period then ended. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of mutual fund shares owned as of December 31, 2002, by correspondence with the mutual funds’ transfer agents. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

*   These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying Series 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 result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying Series Fund in which the subaccounts invest.

 

**   These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Mutual Fund Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges. The 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 underlying Series Fund are excluded.

 

***   These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Series Fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented.

Notes to Financial Statements

5. Administrative, Mortality, and Expense Risk Charge

 

Mortality and expense risk charges are deducted from each subaccount on a daily basis which is equal to an effective annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net asset value of the subaccount. This amount can never increase and is paid to Transamerica Life. An administrative expense charge is also deducted by Transamerica Life from each subaccount on a daily basis which is equal, on an annual basis, to .15% of the daily net asset value of the subaccount. This amount may change, but it is guaranteed not to exceed a maximum effective annual rate of .25%.

 

The following charges are deducted from a contract holder’s account by Transamerica Life and not directly from the Separate Account. An annual certificate fee is deducted at the end of each contract year prior to the annuity date. Currently, this charge is the lesser of $30 or 2% of the certificate value. This charge may change but is guaranteed not to exceed the lesser of $60 or 2% of the certificate value. After the annuity date this charge is referred to as the Annuity Fee and is $30.

 

6. Income Taxes

 

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

 

7. Dividend Distributions

 

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

Item 27.     Number of Contract Owners

 

As of December 31, 2002, there were 7,286 Contract owners.

 

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 producers for determining when indemnification payments can be made.

 

 

C-25


Table of Contents

 

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.
