An Individual Flexible Premium Variable Life Insurance Policy
 
This prospectus describes the TFLIC TRANSAMERICA JOURNEY, a flexible premium variable life insurance policy (the “Policy”). You can allocate your Policy Value to the Basic Interest Account (which credits a specified guaranteed interest rate) and/or to the TFLIC Series Life Account, which invests through its subaccounts in funds of the Transamerica Series Trust – Initial Class (“Series Trust”), the Fidelity Variable Insurance Products Funds– Service Class 2 (“Fidelity VIP Funds”), the American Funds Insurance Series (the “American Funds”), the Alliance Bernstein Series Fund, Inc. (“AllianceBernstein”), and the Franklin Templeton Variable Insurance Products Trust (“Franklin Templeton”) (collectively, the “Fund Groups”).  Please refer to the next page of this prospectus for the list of funds available to you under the Policy.
 
Investing in the Policy involves risk and fluctuating interest rates.
 
If you already own a life insurance policy, it may not be to your advantage to buy additional insurance or to replace your policy with the Policy described in this prospectus. Additionally, it may not be to your advantage to borrow money to purchase the Policy or to take withdrawals from another policy you own to make premium payments under the Policy.
 
Prospectuses for the funds must accompany this prospectus. Please read these documents before investing and save them for future reference.
 
An investment in the Policy is not a bank deposit. The Policy is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.
 

 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Policy Benefits/Risks Summary                                                                                                                      Transamerica Journey 
 

 
This summary describes the Policy’s important benefits and risks.  More detailed information about the Policy appears later in this prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”).  For your convenience, we have provided a Glossary in this prospectus that defines certain words and phrases used in this prospectus.
 
Policy Benefits
 
The Policy in General
 
·  
Transamerica Journey is an individual flexible premium variable life insurance policy, which gives you the potential for long-term life insurance coverage with the opportunity for tax-deferred accumulation of Policy Value.
 
·  
The Policy is designed to be long-term in nature in order to provide significant life insurance benefits for you.  You should only purchase the Policy if you have the financial ability to keep it in force for a substantial period of time.  You should consider the Policy in conjunction with other insurance that you own.
 
·  
You will have a “free-look” period once we deliver your Policy. Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Canceling a Policy” for a description of the free-look period.
 
·  
We offer four (4) bands of  coverage under the Policy depending on the initial face amount of insurance you have selected and any adjustments to the face amount after issue:
 
·  
Band 1: $50,000 - $99,999
 
·  
Band 2: $100,000 - $249,999
 
·  
Band 3: $250,000 - $499,999
 
·  
Band 4: $500,000 and above
 
·  
Certain Policy charges are based on the band of coverage.  Generally, the higher the band the lower the charges.
 
·  
You may apply to increase the face amount once a year on any Monthly Policy Date after the first Policy Year before the insured’s Age 86.
 
·  
You also may decrease the face amount after your Policy has been in force for three years but you may not increase and decrease the face amount in the same Policy Year.  The amount of your decrease may be limited.  For further details, please see “Death Benefits – Increasing/Decreasing the Face Amount.”
 
·  
There may be adverse consequences should you decide to surrender your Policy early, such as payment of a surrender charge during the first 10 Policy Years and for 10 years from the date of any increase in the face amount of life insurance coverage that you select.
 
·  
Your Policy has a no lapse guarantee which means that as long as requirements are met, your Policy will remain in force and no grace period will begin until the no lapse ending date shown in your Policy Data pages (“Policy Data”). Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Policy Lapse and Reinstatement” for a description of the no lapse guarantee and the requirements to qualify for the no lapse guarantee.
 
·  
You can invest your net premium in, and transfer your Policy Value to, the Basic Interest Account and/or the subaccounts of TFLIC Series Life Account (the “Separate Account” or the “Registrant”).
 
·  
The Policy Value will increase or decrease depending on the investment performance of the subaccounts, the premiums you pay, the fees and charges that we deduct, the interest we credit to the Basic Interest Account, and the effects of any policy transactions (such as transfers, loans and cash withdrawals).  Because returns are not guaranteed, the Policy is not suitable as a short-term investment or savings vehicle.
 
·  
Your Policy offers supplemental riders, and depending on which riders are selected, certain charges may be deducted from the Policy Value as part of the monthly deductions.
 
·  
The Policy offers a Long Term Care Rider that, upon meeting certain requirements, provides a monthly benefit to assist with expenses incurred by the insured for qualifying long term care.  This benefit is in the form of an acceleration of the Policy’s death benefit.
 
Flexibility
 
The Policy is designed to be flexible to meet your specific circumstances and life insurance needs.  Within certain limits, you can:
 
·  
Choose the timing, amount and frequency of premium payments.
 
·  
Change the death benefit option.
 
·  
Increase or decrease the amount of life insurance coverage.
 
·  
Change the beneficiary.
 
·  
Transfer Policy Value among account options available under the Policy.
 
·  
Take a loan against the Policy.
 
·  
Take cash withdrawals or surrender the Policy.
 
Death Benefit
 
If the insured dies while the Policy is in force, we will pay a death benefit to the named beneficiary(ies) subject to applicable law and in accordance with the terms of the Policy. The amount of the death benefit generally depends on the face amount of insurance that you select, the death benefit option that you choose, your Policy Value, and any additional life insurance provided by riders that you purchase.  The death benefit is reduced by any loan balance and any charges that are due and unpaid if the insured dies during the grace period.
 
You may choose one of three death benefit options:
 
·
Under the Level option, the death benefit is the greatest of:
 
>
The face amount; or
 
>
The minimum death benefit under the Guideline Premium Test or Cash Value Accumulation Test, whichever you have selected; or
 
>
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
   
·
Under the Increasing option, the death benefit is the greatest of:
 
>
The face amount, plus the Policy Value on the date of the insured's death; or
 
>
The minimum death benefit under the Guideline Premium Test or Cash Value Accumulation Test, whichever you have selected; or
 
>
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
   
·
Under the Graded option, the death benefit is the greatest of:
 
>
The amount payable under the Level option; or
 
>
The face amount multiplied by an age-based "factor," plus the Policy Value on the date of the insured's death; or
 
>
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
You may choose between two federal income tax compliance tests for life insurance policies to calculate the minimum death benefit:
 
·  
Cash Value Accumulation Test – generally does not limit the amount of premiums you can pay on your Policy.
·  
Guideline Premium Test – limits the amount of premiums you can pay on your Policy, and the minimum death benefit will generally be smaller than under the Cash Value Accumulation Test.

The test you choose will generally depend on the amount of premiums you want to pay relative to your desired death benefit.  Note:  You may not change tests.

Further information regarding the death benefit options and the federal income tax compliance tests is included in the section below entitled “Death Benefit.”  You should consult your tax advisor when choosing the tax compliance test.

Policy Value

Policy Value is the sum of your investments in the Basic Interest Account and the subaccounts on any business day, as well as the loan reserve.  It is not guaranteed – it depends on the performance of the account options that you have chosen, the timing and the amount of premium payments you have made, policy charges deducted, and how much you have withdrawn from the Policy.

You can access your Policy Value in several ways:

·  
Withdrawals – You can withdraw part of your Policy’s cash surrender value.  Withdrawals are described in more detail in the section of this prospectus entitled “Surrenders and Cash Withdrawals – Cash Withdrawals.”
 
·  
Loans – After the free-look period ends you can take out a loan from the Policy using your Policy’s cash surrender value as security.  Loans and loan interest rates are described in more detail in the section of this prospectus entitled “Loans.”
 
·  
Surrender – You can surrender or cash in your Policy for its cash surrender value while the insured is alive.  Surrenders are described in more detail in the section in this prospectus entitled “Surrenders and Cash Withdrawals – Surrenders.” You may pay a substantial surrender charge.
 
Account Options

You can choose to allocate your net premiums and Policy Value among the subaccounts, each of which invests in a corresponding fund.  Your Policy also offers a Basic Interest Account option which provides a guaranteed minimum rate of interest.  You can accumulate Policy Value in the Basic Interest Account and the subaccounts without paying any current income tax.

You can transfer your Policy Value among the Basic Interest Account and the subaccounts during the life of your Policy. We may limit the number of transfers out of the Basic Interest Account and, in some cases, may limit your transfer activity to deter disruptive trading and market timing.  We may charge a $25 transfer processing fee for each transfer after the first 12 transfers in a Policy Year.  For more details, please refer to the section entitled "Transfers" in this prospectus.

Tax Information

 We intend the Policy to qualify as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code so that the death benefit generally should not be taxable income to the beneficiary.  If your Policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (“MEC”) you will generally not be taxed on the gain in the Policy unless you take a cash withdrawal in excess of your basis in the Policy or a loan that is not repaid prior to surrender of your Policy.  If your Policy is a MEC, cash withdrawals, loans, assignments, and pledges are treated first as taxable income to you to the extent of gain then in the Policy, and then as non-taxable recovery of basis.  In addition, such gains from MECs may be subject to a 10% penalty tax if received before age 59½.  Please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more details.

Risks of Your Policy

Long-Term Financial Planning

The Policy is designed to help meet long-term financial objectives by paying a death benefit to family members and/or other named beneficiaries. It is not suitable as a short-term savings vehicle.  It may not be the right kind of policy if you plan to withdraw money or surrender the Policy for short-term needs.  A charge may be assessed on withdrawals.  You may pay substantial charges if you surrender your Policy. See the section of this prospectus entitled Fee Tablesand your Policy for charges assessed when taking cash withdrawals from or surrendering your Policy.

Please discuss your insurance needs and financial objectives with your registered representative.

Risk of an Increase in Current Fees and Expenses

Certain fees and expenses are currently assessed at less than their guaranteed maximum levels.  In the future, these charges may be increased up to the guaranteed (maximum) levels.  If fees and expenses are increased, you may need to increase the amount and/or frequency of premiums to keep the Policy in force.

Investment Risks

If you invest your Policy Value in one or more subaccounts, you will be subject to the risk that investment performance of the subaccounts will be unfavorable and that your Policy Value will decrease.  Also, we deduct policy fees and charges from your Policy Value, which can significantly reduce the value.  During times of poor investment performance, this deduction will have an even greater impact on your Policy Value.  You could lose everything you invest and your Policy could lapse without value, unless you pay additional premiums.  If you allocate premiums to the Basic Interest Account, then we credit your Basic Interest Account value with interest at a rate declared by us. You assume the risk that the interest rate on the Basic Interest Account may decrease, although it will never be lower than the guaranteed minimum annual effective rate of 2%.

Risks of Managing General Account Assets

The general account assets of Transamerica are used to support the payment of the death benefit under the Policies.  To the extent that Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“Transamerica Financial Life”) is required to pay amounts in addition to the Policy Value under the death benefit, such amounts will come from general account assets.  You should be aware that the general account assets are exposed to the risks normally associated with a portfolio of fixed-income securities, including interest rate, option, liquidity and credit risk, and are also subject to the claims of Transamerica Financial Life’s general creditors. The Company’s financial statements contained in the Statement of Additional Information include a further discussion of risks inherent with the general account investments.

Premium Payments

If you choose the Guideline Premium Test, the federal tax laws limit the premium payments you can make in relation to your Policy’s death benefit.  We may refuse all or part of a premium payment that you make, or remove all or part of a premium from your Policy and return it to you with earnings under certain circumstances to maintain qualification of the Policy as a life insurance contract for federal income tax purposes.  Please refer to the section in this prospectus entitled “Premiums” for more details.



Lapse

Your Policy will stay in force as long the cash surrender value is sufficient to cover your monthly deductions and policy charges, or as long as the no lapse guarantee is in effect.  Insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause your Policy to lapse – which means you will no longer have insurance coverage.  A policy lapse may have adverse tax consequences. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed policy.  For a detailed discussion of your Policy’s lapse and reinstatement provisions, please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Policy Lapse and Reinstatement.”

Withdrawals and Loans

Making a withdrawal or taking a loan may:

·  
Reduce your Policy’s face amount.
·  
Reduce the death benefit paid to your beneficiary.
·  
Make your Policy more susceptible to lapsing.
·  
Trigger federal income taxes and possibly a penalty tax.

Cash withdrawals will reduce your Policy Value. Withdrawals, especially those taken during periods of poor investment performance, could considerably reduce or eliminate some benefits or guarantees of the Policy. Federal income taxes and a penalty tax may apply to loans, cash withdrawals and surrenders. Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Be sure to plan carefully before using these policy benefits.  For a detailed description of withdrawals and loans, and any associated risks, please see the sections of this prospectus entitled “Surrenders and Cash Withdrawals – Cash Withdrawals” and/or “Loans.”

Surrenders
If you surrender your Policy during the first 10 Policy Years (or during the 10 year period following an increase in face amount) you will pay a surrender charge. The surrender charge may be significant.  Federal income tax and/or a penalty tax may also apply.  Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Tax Consequences of Withdrawals, Surrenders and Loans

You may be subject to income tax if you take any withdrawals or surrender the Policy, or if your Policy lapses and you have not paid any outstanding policy indebtedness.

If your Policy is a MEC, cash withdrawals, surrenders, assignments, pledges, and loans that you receive or make during the life of the policy may be taxable and subject to a federal tax penalty equal to 10% of the taxable amount if taken prior to age 59½.  Other tax issues to consider when you own a life insurance policy are described in more detail in the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Note:  You should consult with your own qualified tax advisor to apply the law to your particular circumstances.

Fund Risks

A comprehensive discussion of the risks of each fund may be found in each fund’s prospectus.  Please refer to the prospectuses for the funds for more information.

There is no assurance that any fund will meet its investment objective.
 

 
 
Fee Tables
 

 
The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning and surrendering your Policy. The tables are based on the 2001 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Tobacco and Non-Tobacco Mortality Tables (“2001 C.S.O. Tables”). If the amount of a charge depends on the personal characteristics of the insured or the owner, then the fee table lists the minimum and maximum charges we assess under the Policy, and the fees and charges of a representative insured with the characteristics set forth below. These charges may not be representative of the charges you will pay.
 

 
 

 


 
The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying or owning the Policy, paying premiums, making cash withdrawals from the Policy, surrendering the Policy, or transferring Policy Value among the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account.

3 The surrender charge will vary based on the insured’s age, gender and underwriting class of risk on the Policy Date and at the time of any increase in the face amount. Each increase in face amount will have its own 10 year surrender charge period starting on the date of the increase and surrender charges that are based upon the insured’s Age, gender and underwriting class of risk at the time of the increase. (Note: only the increase in face amount is subject to the additional 10 year surrender charge period.) The surrender charge for each increase in face amount (“layer”) is calculated as the surrender charge factor per $1,000 of face amount multiplied by the number of thousands of dollars of face amount in the layer, multiplied by the surrender charge.  The surrender charge factor for the Policy and each layer will be 1.00 at issue and will decrease until it reaches zero at the end of the 10th Policy Year after the Policy Date (or date of any face amount increase). The charges shown in the table may not be typical of the charges you will pay.  Please see the example in the “Surrender Charge” section of this prospectus.  More detailed information about the surrender charges applicable to you is available from your registered representative.

4 This maximum surrender charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: female, age 85, in the standard tobacco use underwriting class of risk. This maximum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.

5 This minimum surrender charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: female, age 0, in the juvenile underwriting class of risk. This minimum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.
6 The first 12 transfers per Policy Year are free.

7 We do not assess a monthly deduction for this endorsement, but if exercised, we reduce the accelerated death benefit to compensate us for income lost due to early payment of the death benefit.  We assume a 12-month period for this discount and the annual interest rate we use will be a discount rate that is the greater of the current yield on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills or the Policy loan interest rate.  We also assess an administrative charge for each Accelerated Death Benefit request. The amount as of January 1, 2012 is $350, but will be subject to cumulative annual cost-of-living increases as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI”) since January 1, 2012.  For further information about the Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement, including a numerical example showing the calculation of a discounted accelerated death benefit and the impact of acceleration, please see the “Supplemental Benefits (Riders)” section of this prospectus.

8 Cost of insurance charges are based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to: the insured’s age, gender and underwriting class of risk, and the Policy’s face amount, policy duration, and amount at risk. Cost of insurance rates generally will increase each year with the insured’s age. Costs of insurance rates are generally lower for each higher band of face amount. For example, band 2 (face amounts $100,000 - $249, 999) generally has lower cost of insurance rates than those of band 1 (face amounts less than $100,000).

9 We may place an insured in a substandard underwriting class of risk with extra ratings that reflect higher mortality risks and that result in higher cost of insurance rates. If the insured possesses additional mortality risks, then we may add a surcharge to the cost of insurance rates up to a total charge of $83.33 monthly per $1,000 of amount at risk.
10 This maximum charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: male, age 75, standard tobacco class of risk, with an initial face amount of less than $100,000 (Band 1) and in the 45th Policy Year. This maximum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.
11 The amount at risk equals the death benefit on a Monthly Policy Date, minus the Policy Value on such Monthly Policy Date.

12 This minimum charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: female, age 5, juvenile class of risk, with an initial face amount of $500,000 or higher (Band 4) and in the 1st Policy Year. This minimum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.

13 We deduct the monthly expense charge on each Monthly Policy Date as part of the monthly deductions for a maximum of 10 years from the Policy Date based on the insured’s age on the Policy Date. We also assess a new monthly expense charge (“MECPT”) for a maximum of 10 years following any increase in face amount that is based on the insured’s Age on the date of the increase.  The MECPT for an increase expires based on the years in force since the date of the increase.  If the Policy lapses and is reinstated, the MECPT period is extended by the amount of time the Policy was lapsed.
14 This maximum charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: age 85 at issue. This maximum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.
15 This minimum charge is based on an insured with the following characteristics: age 5 at issue. This minimum charge may also apply to insureds with other characteristics.

16 The Loan Interest Spread is the difference between the amount of interest we charge you for a loan (currently, an effective annual rate of 2.75%, guaranteed not to exceed 3.0%) and the amount of interest we credit to the loan reserve (an effective annual rate of 2.0% guaranteed). After the 10th Policy Year, we apply preferred loan rates on an amount equal to the cash value minus total premiums paid (less any cash withdrawals) and minus any loan balance. The maximum loan interest spread on preferred loans is 0.25%, and the current spread is 0.0%.

17 While a policy loan is outstanding, loan interest is payable in arrears on each Policy Anniversary, or, if earlier, on the date of loan repayment, policy lapse, policy surrender, policy termination, or the insured’s death.

Transamerica Financial Life, the Separate Account, the Basic Interest Account and the Funds 
 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
 
Transamerica Financial Life, located at 440 Mamaroneck Avenue, Harrison, New York 10528, is the insurance company issuing the Policy. We are obligated to pay all benefits under the Policy.

Financial Condition of the Company

The benefits under the Policy are paid by Transamerica Financial Life from its general account assets and/or your Policy Value held in the Separate Account. It is important that you understand that payment of the benefits is not assured and depends upon certain factors discussed below.

Assets in the Separate Account.  You assume all of the investment risk for your Policy Value that is allocated to the subaccounts of the Separate Account.  Your Policy Value in those subaccounts constitutes a portion of the assets of the Separate Account.  These assets are segregated and insulated from our general account, and may not be charged with liabilities arising from any other business that we may conduct.  See "The Separate Account."

Assets in the General Account.  You also may be permitted to make allocations to the Basic Interest Account, which is supported by the assets in our general account.  See "The Basic Interest Account."  Any guarantees under the Policy that exceed your Policy Value, such as those associated with the Policy’s death benefit, are paid from our general account (and not the Separate Account).  Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the Policy in excess of subaccount value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. The assets of the Separate Account, however, are also available to cover the liabilities of our general account, but only to the extent that the Separate Account assets exceed the Separate Account liabilities arising under the Policies supported by it.

 
We issue other types of insurance policies and financial products as well, and we also pay our obligations under these products from our assets in the general account.

Our Financial Condition.  As an insurance company, we are required by state insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet all the contractual obligations of our general account to our policyowners.  We monitor our reserves so that we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected policy and claims payments. In addition, we hedge our investments in our general account, and may require purchasers of certain of the variable insurance products that we offer to allocate premium payments and Policy Value in accordance with specified investment requirements. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims-paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.

State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations.  These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on our general account assets, which include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in market value of these investments. We may also experience liquidity risk if our general account assets cannot be readily converted into cash to meet obligations to our policyowners or to provide the collateral necessary to finance our business operations. 
 
We and our affiliates regularly evaluate our investment portfolio to manage market risk.

How to Obtain More Information.  We encourage both existing and prospective policyowners to read and understand our financial statements.  We prepare our financial statements on a statutory basis.  Our financial statements, which are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Insurance - as well as the financial statements of the Separate Account—are located in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI).  The SAI is available at no charge by sending your request to our mailing address -Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, 4333 Edgewood Road, NE, Cedar Rapids Iowa 52499 - or by calling us at (800) 322-7353, or by visiting our website www.tflic.com/ny.  In addition, the SAI is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.  Our financial strength ratings, which reflect the opinions of leading independent rating agencies of Transamerica Financial Life's ability to meet its obligations to its policyowners, are available on our website and the websites of these Nationally Recognized Statistical Ratings Organizations--A.M. Best Company, Inc. (www.ambest.com), Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (www.moodys.com) Standard & Poor's Rating Services (www.standardandpoors.com) and Fitch, Inc. (www.fitchratings.com).

 
The Separate Account
 
The Separate Account is a separate investment account established by us under the laws of the state of New York to invest net premiums received by us under one or more forms of variable adjustable life insurance. We own the assets in the Separate Account and we may use assets in the Separate Account to support other variable life insurance policies we issue and which invest in the separate account. The Separate Account is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).
 
The Separate Account is divided into subaccounts, each of which invests in shares of a specific fund. These subaccounts buy and sell fund shares at net asset value without any sales charge. Any dividends and distributions from a fund are reinvested at net asset value in shares of that fund.
 
Income, gains, and losses credited to, or charged against, a subaccount of the Separate Account reflect the subaccount’s own investment experience and not the investment experience of our other assets. The Separate Account’s assets may not be used to pay any of our liabilities other than those arising from the Policies and other variable life insurance policies we issue and invest in the separate account. If the Separate Account’s assets exceed the required reserves and other liabilities, we may transfer the excess to our general account.
 
Changes to the Separate Account. As permitted by applicable law, we reserve the right to make certain changes to the structure and operation of the Separate Account, which may include:
 

·  
Transferring assets of the Separate Account or any subaccount, which we determine to be associated with the class of contracts to which the Policy belongs, to another Separate Account or subaccount. In the event we make such a transfer, the term “Separate Account” or “subaccount” as used in the Policy shall mean the Separate Account or subaccount to which we transfer the assets;

·  
Removing, combining, or adding subaccounts and making the combined or added subaccounts available for allocation of net premiums;

·  
Closing certain subaccounts to allocations of new net premiums by current or new owners;

·  
Combining the Separate Account or any subaccounts with one or more different Separate Accounts or subaccounts;

·  
Establishing additional Separate Accounts or subaccounts to invest in new Funds;

·  
Operating the Separate Account as a management investment company;

·  
Managing the Separate Account at the direction of a committee;

·  
Endorsing the Policy, as permitted by law, to reflect changes to the Separate Account and subaccounts as may be required by applicable law;

·  
Changing the investment objective of a subaccount;

·  
Substituting, adding, or deleting funds in which subaccounts currently invest net premiums, to include newly designated funds;

·  
Funding additional classes of variable life insurance contracts through the Separate Account; and

·  
Restricting or eliminating any voting privileges of owners or other persons who have voting privileges in connection with the operation of the Separate Account.
 
Some, but not all, of these future changes may be the result of changes in applicable laws or interpretation of the laws. We will not make any such changes without receiving any necessary approval of the SEC and applicable state insurance departments. We will notify you of any changes. We reserve the right to make other structural and operational changes affecting the Separate Account.
 
In addition, the funds that sell their shares to the subaccounts may discontinue offering their shares to the subaccounts.
 
The Basic Interest Account
 
The Basic Interest Account is part of Transamerica Financial Life’s general account. We use general account assets to support our insurance and annuity obligations other than those funded by the Separate Account.  Subject to applicable law, Transamerica Financial Life has sole discretion over the investment of the Basic Interest Account’s assets. Transamerica Financial Life bears the full investment risk for all amounts contributed to the Basic Interest Account.  Please see the section above entitled “Risks of Managing General Account Assets.”  Transamerica Financial Life guarantees that the amounts allocated to the Basic Interest Account will be credited interest daily at an annual net effective interest rate of at least 2.0%. We will determine any interest rate credited in excess of the guaranteed rate at our sole discretion. We have no formula for determining Basic Interest Account interest rates in excess of the guaranteed rate or any duration for such rates.

Money you place in the Basic Interest Account will begin earning interest credited daily and compounded annually at the current interest rate in effect at the time it is allocated. We may restrict your allocations and transfers to the Basic Interest Account if the Basic Interest Account value following the allocation or transfer would exceed $250,000. (This restriction does not apply to any transfers to the Basic Interest Account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights.) We may declare current interest rates from time to time. We may declare more than one interest rate for different money based upon the date of allocation or transfer to the Basic Interest Account. When we declare a current interest rate higher than the guaranteed rate on amounts allocated to the Basic Interest Account, we guarantee the higher rate on those amounts for at least one year (the “guarantee period”). At the end of the guarantee period we may declare a new current interest rate on those amounts and any accrued interest thereon. We will guarantee this new current interest rate for another guarantee period. We credit interest greater than 2.0% during any guarantee period at our sole discretion. You assume the risk that the interest rate on the Basic Interest Account may decrease, although it will never be lower than a guaranteed minimum annual effective rate of 2%.
 
We allocate amounts from the Basic Interest Account for cash withdrawals, transfers to the subaccounts, or monthly deductions charges on a first in, first out basis (“FIFO”) for the purpose of crediting interest.

The Basic Interest Account has not been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has not reviewed the disclosure in this prospectus relating to the Basic Interest Account.  Disclosures regarding the Basic Interest Account, however, may be subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of statements made in this prospectus.
 
The Funds
 
The Separate Account invests in shares of the funds.  Each fund is an investment division of a Fund Group, which is an open-end investment management company registered with the SEC. Such registration does not involve supervision of the management or investment practices or policies of the funds by the SEC.

Each fund's assets are held separate from the assets of the other funds, and each fund has investment objectives and policies that are different from those of the other funds.  Thus, each fund operates as a separate investment fund, and the income or loss of one fund has no effect on the investment performance of any other fund. Pending any required approval by a state insurance regulatory authority, certain subaccounts and corresponding funds may not be available to residents of some states.
 
Each fund’s investment objective(s) and policies are summarized below. There is no assurance that a fund will achieve its stated objective(s). Certain funds may have investment objectives and policies similar to other funds that are managed by the same investment adviser or sub-adviser. The investment results of the funds, however, may be higher or lower than those of such other funds. We do not guarantee or make any representation that the investment results of the funds will be comparable to any other fund, even those with the same investment adviser or manager.
 
You can find more detailed information about the funds, including a description of risks, in the fund prospectuses. You may obtain a free copy of the fund prospectuses by contacting us at our administrative office at 1-800-322-7353 or visiting our website at www.tflic.com/ny. You should read the fund prospectuses carefully.

2Under normal market conditions, this fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in credit default swaps and other financial instruments that in combination have economic characteristics similar to the high yield debt (“junk bonds”) market and/or in high yield debt securities.
3There can be no assurance that the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP fund will be able to maintain a stable net asset value per share.  During extended periods of low interest rates, and partly as a result of insurance charges, the yield on the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP subaccount may become extremely low and possibly negative.

Selection of Underlying Funds
 
The underlying funds offered through this product are selected by Transamerica Financial Life.  Transamerica Financial Life may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates in connection with certain administrative, marketing, and support services, or whether affiliates of the fund can provide marketing and distribution support for sales of the Policies. (For additional information on these arrangements, please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Revenue We Receive.”)  We review the funds periodically and may remove a fund or limit its availability to new premiums and/or transfers of Policy Value if we determine that a fund no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the fund has not attracted significant allocations from policyowners. We have included the Transamerica Series Trust funds at least in part because they are managed by TAM, our directly owned subsidiary.
 
You are responsible for choosing the funds, and the amounts allocated to each, that are appropriate for your own individual circumstances and your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Because investment risk is borne by you, decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered.
 
In making your investment selections, we encourage you to thoroughly investigate all of the information that is available to you regarding the funds including each fund’s prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi-annual reports. Other sources such as newspapers and financial and other magazines provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a fund.  After you select funds for your initial premium, you should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.
 
You bear the risk of any decline in your Policy Value resulting from the performance of the funds you have chosen.
 
We do not recommend or endorse any particular fund and we do not provide investment advice.

Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Funds
 
We do not guarantee that each fund will always be available for investment through the Policy. We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to add new funds or fund classes, close existing funds or fund classes, or substitute fund shares that are held by any subaccount for shares of a different fund.  New or substitute funds may have different fees and expenses and their availability may be limited to certain classes of purchasers. We will not add, delete or substitute any shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.  We may also decide to purchase securities from other funds for the Separate Account.  We reserve the right to transfer Separate Account assets to another Separate Account that we determine to be associated with the class of contracts to which the Policy belongs.
 

Your Right to Vote Fund Shares
 
Even though we are the legal owner of the fund shares held in the subaccounts, and have the right to vote on all matters submitted to shareholders of the funds, we will vote our shares only as policyowners instruct, as long as such action is required by law.
 
Before a vote of a fund’s shareholders occurs, you will receive voting materials from us. We will ask you to instruct us on how to vote and to return your voting instructions to us in a timely manner. You will have the right to instruct us on the number of fund shares that corresponds to the amount of Policy Value you have in that fund (as of a date set by the fund).
 
If we do not receive voting instructions on time from some policyowners, we will vote those shares in the same proportion as the timely voting instructions we receive. Therefore, because of proportional voting, a small number of policyowners may control the outcome of a vote. Should federal securities laws, regulations and interpretations change, we may elect to vote fund shares in our own right. If required by state insurance officials, or if permitted under federal regulation, we may disregard certain owner voting instructions. If we ever disregard voting instructions, we will send you a summary in the next annual report to policyowners advising you of the action and the reasons we took such action.
 
Charges and Deductions                                                                                                                                                                
 
This section describes the charges and deductions that we make under the Policy in consideration for: (1) the services and benefits we provide; (2) the costs and expenses we incur; and (3) the risks we assume. The fees and charges deducted under the Policy may result in a profit to us.
 

Services and benefits we 
provide  under the Policy:
 
· 
 
The death benefit, cash and loan benefits.
 
· 
Account options, including premium allocations.
 
· 
Administration of elective options.
 
· 
The distribution of reports to owners.
 
· 
 
Costs and expenses we incur:
· 
Costs associated with processing and underwriting applications.
 
· 
Expenses of issuing and administering the Policy (including any policy riders).
 
· 
Overhead and other expenses for providing services and benefits and sales and marketing expenses, including compensation paid in connection with the sale of the Policies.
 
· 
Other costs of doing business, such as collecting premiums, maintaining records, processing claims, effecting transactions, and paying federal, state and local premium and other taxes and fees.
     
Risks we assume:
That the charges we may deduct may be insufficient to meet our actual claims because insureds die sooner than we estimate.
 
That the costs of providing the services and benefits under the Policies may exceed the charges we are allowed to deduct.
 
Some or all of the charges we deduct are used to pay aggregate policy costs and expenses we incur in providing the services and benefits under the Policy and assuming the risks associated with the Policy.


Premium Expense Charge
 
Before we allocate the net premium payments you make, we will deduct the following premium expense charge:
 

The premium expense charge is equal 
to:
·
 
 
5% of premiums during the first 5 Policy Years and 2.5% thereafter.  We guarantee that this charge will not exceed 5%.
 
Some or all of the premium expense charges we deduct are used to pay the aggregate policy costs and expenses we incur, including distribution costs and/or state premium taxes.
 
Monthly Deductions
 
We take monthly deductions from the Policy Value on the Policy Date and on each Monthly Policy Date before the insured’s Age 121.   Monthly deductions will be taken on a pro-rata basis from each Account Option unless you elect self-directed monthly deductions.  You may elect self-directed monthly deductions by sending us a request in a form satisfactory to us.  If self-directed monthly deductions are elected, the portion of each monthly deduction taken from each Account Option will equal the monthly deduction times the selected percentage for that Account Option.  If any of the selected Account Options would be reduced to zero by the current monthly deduction, monthly deductions will be taken on a pro-rata basis from each Account Option, according to the portion of the Policy Value in each.

You may change the election of self-directed monthly deductions by sending us a request in a form satisfactory to us.  The change to or from self-directed monthly deductions will be effective on the date we record the change.
 
 Because portions of the monthly deductions (such as cost of insurance) can vary monthly, the monthly deductions will also vary.
     
Each monthly deduction consists of:
The monthly cost of insurance charge for the Policy (including any surcharge associated with flat extra or substandard table ratings): plus
 
The monthly policy fee for the Policy; plus
 
The monthly expense charge for the Policy; plus
 
Any charge for additional benefits provided by riders.
     
Monthly Policy Fee:
 
This fee is determined by us and is used to cover aggregate policy expenses.  We may increase or decrease the fee from time to time, but we will never charge in excess of the guaranteed maximum monthly policy fee shown in the Policy Data.  Any change in the monthly policy fee will be applied uniformly to all policies with the same face amount, Age, sex and class of risk that have been in effect for the same length of time.
 
 
· 
This charge varies by age at issue and Policy duration and is charged each month until Age 121:

 
   
Issue age
Policy duration 1-5 years
Policy duration 6+ years
   
0-4
$9/month
$12/month
5+
$12/month
$12/month

 
 
· 
This charge is determined by us, but we guarantee this charge will never be more than $15 per month for all ages and durations and will be $0 starting at Age 121.
 
· 
This charge is used to cover aggregate policy expenses.
Cost of Insurance Charge:
 
To determine the appropriate monthly cost of insurance rates, we use our current monthly cost of insurance rate tables in effect for the Policy using the face amount and the insured’s age, sex, class of risk, and any substandard rating (as shown in the Policy Data) and the length of time since the Policy Date or the date of any increase in face amount.  Different monthly cost of insurance rates may apply to increases in the face amount following the Policy Date and any additional death benefit caused by the application of the death benefit factor.  Monthly cost of insurance rates may be changed by us from time to time.  A change in the monthly cost of insurance rates will apply to all persons of the same face amount, Age, sex, class of risk and any substandard rating whose policies or increases in the face amount have been in effect for the same length of time.  The rates will not exceed those shown in the table of guaranteed maximum monthly cost of insurance rates using the insured’s age, sex and class of risk, adjusted for any rating.
 
The monthly cost of insurance as of each Monthly Policy Date is determined as follows:
 
1.  
Determine the amount at risk by subtracting the Policy Value from the amount of the death benefit.
 
2.  
Divide the amount by 1,000.
 
3.  
Allocate the result as set forth below and multiply each resulting amount by the appropriate monthly cost of insurance rate to arrive at the monthly cost of insurance.
 
In determining the amount at risk and the appropriate monthly cost of insurance rates, we first apply the Policy Value to the initial face amount.  If the Policy Value exceeds the initial face amount, we will then apply the remaining Policy Value to any increases in the face amount in the order of their occurrence.  Any remaining Policy Value will then be applied to any additional death benefit caused by the application of the death factor.
 

 
 
·
Your monthly current cost of insurance rate depends, in part, on your face amount band. The face amount bands available are:
 
 
   
Ø
Band 1: $50,000 - $99,999
 
   
Ø
Band 2: $100,000 - $249,999
 
   
Ø
Band 3: $250,000 - $499,999
 
   
Ø
Band 4: $500,000 and above
 
 
·
Cost of insurance rates are generally lower for each higher band of face amount.
 
·
We determine your face amount band by referring to the face amount in force for the Base Policy (that is, the initial face amount on the Policy Date, plus any increases, and minus any decreases).

 

 
If the insured’s age is 0-17 on the Policy Date, the class of risk will be “Juvenile” and the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates will be the composite rates in the 2001 C.S.O. Table. We will notify you 60 days prior to the insured’s Age 18 that the insured is eligible for reclassification to an adult Non-Tobacco class of risk upon proper evidence of insurability.  If you do not respond to our notification, or if the insured does not qualify for reclassification as a Non-Tobacco user, the guaranteed maximum cost of insurance rates will continue to be the composite rates in the 2001 C.S.O. Table.
 
 
Monthly Expense Charge
 
   
This charge equals:
 
   
·
The face amount on the Policy Date divided by 1,000 and then multiplied by the applicable monthly expense charge per thousand; plus
   
·
The monthly expense charge for each increase in face amount caused by a requested increase; minus
   
·
The monthly expense charge for any face amount that has been decreased.
 

 
We determine the rate of the monthly expense charge per 1,000 and may change it from time to time, but will never charge in excess of the applicable guaranteed maximum monthly expense charge per 1,000.  The monthly expense charge per 1,000 applicable to an increase in the face amount may be different from the monthly expense charge per 1,000 on the initial face amount.  The guaranteed maximum monthly expense charge per 1,000 in effect on the Policy Date is shown in the Policy Data.  Any change in the monthly expense charge per 1,000 will be applied uniformly to all policies or face amount increases with the same face amount, age, sex and underwriting class of risk that have been in effect for the same length of time.
 
 
Optional Insurance Riders:
   
 
·
The monthly deductions will include charges for any optional insurance benefits you add to your Policy by rider.  Please refer to the section below entitled “Rider Charges” for a description of the rider charges.
 
The factors that affect the net amount at risk for each layer of face amount include the investment performance of the funds in which you invest, payment of premiums, the fees and charges deducted under the Policy, the death benefit option you choose, as well as any policy transactions (such as loans, cash withdrawals, transfers, and changes in face amount). The actual monthly cost of insurance rates are primarily based on our expectations as to future mortality experience and expenses. Monthly cost of insurance rates may be changed by us from time to time. The actual rates we charge will never be greater than the Table of Guaranteed Maximum Life Insurance Rates stated in your Policy. These guaranteed rates are based on the 2001 C.S.O. Mortality Tables and the insured’s Age, gender, and underwriting class of risk.
 
If you increase the face amount, different monthly cost of insurance rates may apply to that layer of face amount, based on factors such as the insured’s Age and underwriting class of risk at the time of the increase, gender, and the length of time since the increase. Increases in face amount may move the Policy into a higher face amount band, resulting in a decrease in the rates for the cost of insurance charge and possibly the premium expense charges because the premium expense charges are based on the face amount in force on the Base Policy at the time the premium is received.
 
Decreases in face amount may cause the Policy to drop into a lower band of face amount and may result in an increase in the rates for the cost of insurance and premium expense charges.  Decreases in face amount will be applied on a last-in, first-out basis to the face amount in force, and will first reduce the face amount provided by the most recent increase in face amount in force, then reduce the next most recent increases, successively, and thereafter reduce the initial face amount.
 
The underwriting class of risk of the insured will affect the cost of insurance rates. In determining underwriting classifications, we apply certain criteria that are based on an assessment of the insured's life expectancy.  We currently place insureds into preferred and standard classes. We also place insureds into substandard classes with extra ratings, which reflect higher mortality risks and will result in higher cost of insurance rates. Examples of reasons an insured may be placed into an extra risk factor underwriting class include, but are not limited to, medical history, avocation, occupation, driving record, or planned future travel (where permitted by state law).
 
We may issue certain policies on a simplified issue, guaranteed issue or expedited basis. Cost of insurance rates charged for any policies issued on a simplified, guaranteed or expedited basis may cause healthy individuals to pay higher cost of insurance rates than they would pay under a substantially similar policy that we offer using different underwriting criteria.
 
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
 
We deduct a daily charge from each subaccount that, together with other fees and charges, compensates us for services rendered, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed. This charge is equal to:
 
·  
the value of each subaccount; multiplied by
·  
The daily pro rata portion of the annual mortality and expense risk charge rate.
 
For the first ten Policy Years, the current annual rate for the mortality and expense risk charge is equal to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each subaccount. We may reduce this charge to 0.60% for Policy Years 11 – 15; 0.30% for Policy Years 16 – 20; and 0.00% for Policy Years 21+, but we do not guarantee that we will do so. We guarantee this charge to be no more than 0.90% annually for all Policy Years.
 
If this charge, combined with other policy fees and charges, does not cover our total actual costs for services rendered and expenses incurred, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if these fees and charges more than cover actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from these charges.
 
Surrender Charge
 
You may surrender your Policy for its cash surrender value at any time upon written request. If you exercise this option, the Policy and all attached riders will terminate.  If you surrender your Policy completely during the first 10 years (or during the 10-year period following an increase in face amount), we deduct a surrender charge from your Policy Value and pay the remaining Policy Value (less any loan balance) to you.
 
The surrender charge is a charge for each $1,000 of the initial face amount of your Base Policy and of each increase in face amount. The surrender charge that will apply on a full surrender of the Policy is the total of the surrender charge calculated for the initial face amount and the surrender charges calculated for each increase in face amount.
 
The initial face amount has a 10-year surrender charge period starting on the Policy Date and surrender charges that are based upon the insured’s age, gender and underwriting class on the Policy Date. Each increase in face amount has its own 10-year surrender charge period and surrender charges that are based upon the insured’s age, gender and underwriting class of risk at the time of the increase.
 
There is no surrender charge if you wait until the end of the 10th Policy Year to surrender your Policy, and you have not increased your face amount within the past 10 Policy Years.  The formula we use reduces the surrender charge at older ages in compliance with state laws.  The surrender charge helps us recover distribution expenses that we incur in connection with the policy, including sales commissions paid to selling firms and printing and advertising costs, as well as aggregate policy expenses.
 
If your Policy has lapsed and is reinstated, the period of lapse is not counted; rather, the surrender charge at reinstatement is exactly what it was at lapse (e.g., a policy that lapses at 5 years and is reinstated at 8 years has year 5 surrender charges at reinstatement).
 
The surrender charge may be significant. You should evaluate this charge carefully before you consider a surrender. Under some circumstances, the level of surrender charges might result in no cash surrender value available if you surrender your Policy in the early Policy Years.  This will depend on a number of factors, but is more likely if:
 
·  
 You pay premiums equal to or not much higher than the minimum monthly no lapse premium shown in your Policy; and/or
·  
Investment performance is low.
 
In addition, surrender charges that apply for 10 years after any increase in face amount will likely significantly reduce your cash surrender value.
     
The surrender charge will be equal to A multiplied by B, multiplied by C where:
A=
The surrender charge per $1,000 of face amount in the layer (varies by issue age, gender and underwriting class on the Policy Date or date of face amount increase);
 
B=
The number of thousands of face amount in the layer;
 
C=
The surrender charge factor.
 
The surrender charge per thousand is calculated separately for the initial face amount and for each increase in face amount, using the rates found in Appendix A-1.
 

The surrender charge factor is also determined separately for the initial face amount and for each increase in face amount in force.  The surrender charge factor varies by the age of the insured (on the Policy Date or date of face amount increase) and number of years since the Policy Date or date of face amount increase. In no event are the surrender charge factors any greater than those shown in the table in Appendix A-2.  We generally determine the surrender charge factor from the Policy Date or date of face amount increase to the surrender date, regardless of whether there were any prior lapses and reinstatements. For more information, please see "Appendix A-2- Surrender Charge Factors."
 

Surrender Charge Example: Assume a male non-tobacco user purchases the Policy at age 30 with a face amount of $100,000. The Policy is surrendered at the end of Policy Year 5. The surrender charge per $1,000 of face amount is $15.94. This is multiplied by the surrender charge factor of 0.68.

Transfer Charge
 
We currently allow you to make 12 transfers each Policy Year free of charge.  Except as listed below, we charge $25 for each additional transfer.  We deduct the transfer charge from the amount being transferred.  We will not increase this charge.
 
·  
For purposes of assessing the transfer charge, all transfers made in one day, regardless of the number of subaccounts affected by the transfer, will be considered a single transfer.
·  
Transfers resulting from loans, the exercise of conversion rights, or the reallocation of Policy Value immediately after the reallocation date currently are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing this charge.
·  
Transfers under dollar cost averaging and asset rebalancing currently are not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing this charge.
 
We currently charge you an effective annual interest rate on a policy loan of 2.75% (3.0% maximum guaranteed) on each Policy Anniversary. We will also credit the amount in the loan reserve with an effective annual interest rate of 2.0%. After offsetting the 2.0% interest we credit, the net cost of loans currently is 0.75% annually (1.0% maximum guaranteed). After the 10th Policy Year, we will apply preferred loan rates charged on an amount equal to the Policy Value; minus total premiums paid (less any cash withdrawals); and minus any loan balance. The current preferred loan effective annual interest rate charged is 2.00% and is guaranteed not to exceed 2.25%. After the insured’s Age 121, all loans, new and existing, are considered preferred loans.

Cash Withdrawal Charge
 
You may take cash withdrawals if your surrender value is sufficient to cover the amount of the withdrawal and the associated cash withdrawal charge.  When you take a cash withdrawal, we charge a processing fee of $25 or 2% of the amount you withdraw, whichever is less.  We deduct this amount from the withdrawal, and we pay you the balance.  We will not increase this charge.
 
Taxes
 
We currently do not make any deductions for taxes from the Separate Account. We may do so in the future to the extent that such taxes are imposed by federal or state agencies.
 
Rider Charges
 
The following charges apply if you elect any of the riders available under your Policy as noted below (see “Supplemental Benefits (Riders)”):
 
·  
Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement. We reduce the benefit by a discount factor to compensate us for income lost due to the early payment of the death benefit. The discount factor is based on the current yield on 90-day Treasury bills or the policy loan interest rate, whichever is greater.  We also assess an administrative charge.  For a complete description of the Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement, please refer to the section entitled “Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement” in this prospectus.
 
·  
Base Insured Rider. We assess a cost of insurance charge based on the insured’s Age, gender and underwriting class of risk, and the rider’s face amount and duration. Cost of insurance charges generally will increase each year with the insured’s Age.
 
·  
Additional Insured Rider. We assess a cost of insurance charge based on each additional insured’s Age, gender and underwriting class of risk, and the rider’s face amount and duration. Cost of insurance charges generally will increase each year with the insured’s Age.
·  
Children’s Benefit Rider. We assess a charge based on the rider face amount regardless of the number of children insured.
 
·  
Accidental Death Benefit Rider. We assess a cost of insurance charge based on the insured’s Age and rider face amount. Charges generally will increase each year with the insured’s Age.
 
·  
Disability Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider. We assess a rider charge based on the insured’s Age and gender and the Policy’s amount at risk as well as a charge based on those riders that would be eligible to have monthly deductions waived.
 
·  
Disability Waiver of Premium Rider. The charge for this rider is based on the insured’s Age and gender and the amount of monthly waiver of premium benefit that would be paid in the event of total disability, as defined in the rider.
·  
Overloan Protection Rider.  There is a onetime charge when the rider is exercised that is equal to a percentage of the gross Policy Value based on the insured’s Age: 5% for ages 75-90; 4% for age 91; 3% for age 92; 2% for age 93; and 1% for ages 94-120.
·  
Long Term Care Rider.  We assess a monthly charge for this rider based on the insured’s Age, gender and class of risk, and the face amount band and amount at risk for the Policy.
 
Fund Expenses
 
The funds deduct management fees and expenses from the amounts you have invested in the funds. These fees and expenses reduce the value of your fund shares. Some funds also deduct 12b-1 fees from fund assets.   Please see the fund prospectuses for more detailed information about the funds.
 
Revenue We Receive
 
We (and our affiliates) may directly or indirectly receive payments from the funds, their advisers, sub-advisers, distributors or affiliates thereof, in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other services we (and our affiliates) provide and expenses we incur. We (and/or our affiliates) generally receive three types of payments:
 
Rule 12b-1 Fees. We and/or our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”), the principal underwriter for the Policies, indirectly receive some or all of the 12b-1 fees from the funds available as investment choices under our variable products. Any 12b-1 fees received by TCI that are attributable to our variable insurance products are then credited to us. These fees range from 0.00% to 0.35% of the average daily assets of the certain underlying funds attributable to the Policies and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue.
 
Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees (“Service Fees”). The investment adviser, sub-adviser, administrators, and/or distributors (or affiliates thereof) of the funds may make payments to us and/or our affiliates, including TCI. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or sub-adviser realizes on the advisory fee deducted from fund assets. Policyowners, through their indirect investment in the funds, bear the costs of these advisory fees (See the prospectuses for the funds for more information.)  The amount of this compensation is generally based on a percentage of the assets of the particular fund attributable to the Policy and to certain other variable insurance products that our affiliates and we issue. These percentages differ and may be significant. Some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) pay us more than others.
 
The chart below provides the maximum combined percentages of 12b-1 fees and Service Fees that we anticipate will be paid to us on an annual basis:

*Payments are based on a percentage of the average assets of each fund owned by the subaccounts that are available under the Policy and under certain other variable insurance products offered by our affiliates and us.  We, and TCI, may continue to receive 12b-1 fees and administrative fees on subaccounts that are closed to new investments, depending on the terms of the agreements supporting those payments and on the services provided.
**Because the Transamerica Series Trust is managed by an affiliate, there are additional benefits to us and our affiliates for amounts you allocate to the Transamerica Series Trust funds, in terms of our and our affiliates’ overall profitability.  During 2011 we received $____ million in benefits from TAM.
***We receive this percentage once $100 million in fund shares are held by the subaccounts of Transamerica Financial Life and its affiliates.

Other payments.  We and our affiliates, including TCI and Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. (“TFA”) also directly or indirectly receive additional amounts or different percentages of assets under management from certain advisers and sub-advisers to the funds (or their affiliates) with regard to variable insurance products or mutual funds that are issued or managed by us and our affiliates. These payments may be derived in whole or in part, from the profits the investment adviser or sub-adviser receives from the advisory fee deducted from fund assets.  Policyowners, through their indirect investment in the funds, bear the costs of those advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the funds for more information.  Certain advisers and sub-advisers of the underlying funds (or their affiliates) (1) may pay TCI amounts up to $75,000 per year to participate in a “preferred sponsor” program that provides such advisers and sub-advisers with access to TCI’s wholesalers at TCI’s national and regional sales conferences that are attended by TCI’s wholesalers; (2) may pay TFA varying amounts to obtain access to TFA’s wholesaling and selling representatives; (3) may provide us and/or certain affiliates and/or selling firms with occasional gifts, meals, tickets or other compensation as an incentive to market the funds and to assist with their promotional efforts; and (4) may reimburse our affiliated selling firms for exhibit booths and other items at national conferences of selling representatives. The amounts may be significant and these arrangements provide the adviser or sub-adviser (or other affiliates) with increased access to us and to our affiliates involved in the distribution of the Policy.

For the calendar year ended December 31, 2011, TCI received total revenue sharing payments in the amount of $3,368,635.55 from the following fund managers and/or sub-advisers to participate in TCI’s events: AEGON USA Investment Management, Inc., AllianceBernstein Investments, Black Rock Investment Management, Fidelity Investments, Franklin Templeton Investments, GE Asset Management, Hanlon Investment Management Inc., ING Clarion Real Estate Securities, Invesco AIM, Janus Capital, Jennison Associates, JP Morgan Investment Management, Logan Circle Investment Partners, Loomis, Sayles & Company, MFS Investment Management, Madison Asset Management, LLC, Morgan Stanley Investment Management, Neuberger Berman Management, OppenheimerFunds, Pacific Investment Management Company, Schroder Investment Management North America, Systematic Financial Management LP, Thompson, Siegel and Walmsley LLC, Vanguard, and Wellington Management Company.

Please Note: Some of the aforementioned managers and/or sub-advisers may not be associated with underlying funds currently available in this product.
 
 Proceeds from certain of these payments by the funds, the advisers, the sub-advisers and/or their affiliates may be profit to us, and may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses (i) that we and our affiliates incur in promoting, issuing, marketing and administering the Policies; and (ii) that we incur, in our role as intermediary, in promoting, marketing and administering the funds.
 

 
For further details about the compensation payments we make in connection with the sale of the Policies, see “Sale of the Policies” in this prospectus.

 
The Policy                                                                                                                                                     
 
The Policy is subject to the insurance laws and regulations of each state or jurisdiction in which it is available for distribution. There may be differences between the policy issued and the general policy description contained in this prospectus because of requirements of the state where your Policy is issued. Some of the state specific differences are included in the prospectus, but this prospectus does not include references to all state specific differences. All state specific policy features will be described in your Policy.
 
Ownership Rights
 
The Policy belongs to the owner named in the application. The owner may exercise all of the rights and options described in the Policy. If the owner dies before the insured and no contingent owner is named, then ownership of the Policy will pass to the owner’s estate.
 
The principal rights an owner may exercise are:
 
·  
To designate or change beneficiaries before the death of the insured.
·  
To receive amounts payable before the death of the insured.
·  
To assign the Policy (If you assign the Policy, your rights and the rights of anyone who is to receive payment under the Policy are subject to the terms of that assignment).
·  
To change the owner of the Policy.
·  
To change the face amount or death benefit option type of the Policy.
 
At issue, the owner must select either the Guideline Premium Tax Test or the Cash Value Accumulation Tax Test on the Policy application. Once selected, this tax test cannot be changed.

No designation or change in designation of an owner will take effect unless we receive (i) a transfer of ownership form or (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 along with a written request to designate or change the designation of an owner.  The request will take effect as of the date we receive it, in good order, at our mailing address, or by fax at our administrative office (1-727-299-1620), subject to payment or other action taken by us before it was received.
 
Modifying the Policy
 
Any modifications or waiver of any rights or requirements under the Policy must be in writing, in good order, and signed by our president or secretary. No registered representative may bind us by making any promise not contained in the Policy.
 
Upon notice to you, we may amend the Policy:
 
·  
To make the Policy or the Separate Account comply with any law or regulation issued by a governmental agency to which we are subject; or
·  
To assure qualification of the Policy as a life insurance contract under the Internal Revenue Code or to meet applicable requirements of federal or state laws relating to variable life policies; or
·  
To reflect a change in the operation of the Separate Account; or
·  
To provide additional subaccounts and/or general account options.
 
Purchasing a Policy
 
To purchase a Policy, you must submit a completed application, in good order, and an initial premium to us through any licensed life insurance agent who is also a registered representative of a broker-dealer having a selling agreement with TCI, the principal underwriter for the Policy, and us.
 
There may be delays in our receipt and processing of applications and premium payments that are outside of our control – for example, because of the failure of a selling broker-dealer or registered representative to promptly forward the application to us at our mailing address, or because of delays in determining whether the Policy is suitable for you. Any such delays will affect when your Policy can be issued.
 
You select the face amount of insurance coverage for your Policy within the following limits. Our current minimum face amount for a Policy is generally $50,000. We currently charge lower cost of insurance rates for Policies with face amounts in higher bands of coverage. We offer the following face amount bands of coverage:
 

·  
Band 1: $50,000 - $99,999
·  
Band 2: $100,000 - $249,999
·  
Band 3: $250,000 - $499,999
·  
Band 4: $500,000 and above

                If your Policy or an increase in juvenile coverage is for a juvenile up to age 4 ½ years old, the maximum coverage is the greater of $50,000 or 25% of the in force life insurance on the adult applicant. For a juvenile between 4 ½ and 14 ½ years old, the maximum coverage is the greater of $50,000 or 50% of the in force life insurance on the adult applicant.

 
We will generally only issue a Policy to you if you provide sufficient evidence that the insured meets our insurability standards. Your application is subject to our underwriting rules, and we may reject any application for any reason permitted by law. We will not issue a Policy to you if the insured is over age 85. The insured must be insurable and acceptable to us under our underwriting rules on the later of:
 
·  
The date of your application; or
·  
The date the insured completes all of the medical tests and examinations that we require.
 
Tax-Free “Section 1035” Exchanges
 
You can generally exchange one life insurance policy for another policy covering the same insured in a “tax-free exchange” under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. Before making an exchange, you should compare both life insurance policies carefully. Remember that if you exchange another life insurance policy for the one described in this prospectus, you might have to pay a surrender charge on your old policy, other charges may be higher (or lower), and the benefits may be different. If the exchange does not qualify for Section 1035 treatment, or if your current policy is subject to a policy loan, you may also have to pay federal income tax on the exchange. You should not exchange another life insurance policy for this one unless you determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest and not just better for the person selling you the Policy. (That person will generally earn a commission if you buy the Policy through an exchange or otherwise.)
 
When Insurance Coverage Takes Effect
 
Insurance coverage under the Policy will take effect only if all of the following conditions have been met: (1) the first full premium must be received by the Company at our mailing address; (2) during the lifetime of every proposed insured, the proposed owner must have personally received and accepted the Policy which was applied for and all answers on the application must be true and correct on the date such Policy is received and accepted; and (3) on the date of the later of either (1) or (2) above, all of the statements and answers given in the application must be true and complete, and there must have been no change in the insurability of any proposed insured.  Note: Because we do not accept initial premiums in advance for Policies with a face amount in excess of $2,000,000 or issue ages 76 and higher, we do not offer conditional insurance coverage for those Policies.
 
Conditional Insurance Coverage. If you pay the full initial premium and have met all of the requirements listed in the conditional receipt attached to the application, and we deliver the conditional receipt to you, the insured may have conditional insurance coverage under the terms of the conditional receipt. The conditional insurance coverage may vary by state and/or underwriting standards. Conditional insurance coverage is void if the check or draft you gave us to pay the initial premium is not honored when we first present it for payment.
 


 
The aggregate amount of conditional insurance coverage, if any, is the lesser of:
· 
The lesser amounts applied for under all conditional receipts issued by us; or
 
   
· 
$400,000 of life insurance if the proposed primary insured is age 0-15, and is insurable at a standard or better class of risk; or
 
   
· 
$400,000 of life insurance if the proposed primary insured is age 16-65, and is insurable at a standard or better class of risk; or
 
   
· 
$400,000 of life insurance if the proposed primary insured is age 66-75, and is insurable at a standard or better class of risk; or
 
   
· 
$100,000 of life insurance for a class of risk with extra ratings regardless of age.
 
 
Subject to the conditions and limitations of the conditional receipt, conditional insurance under the terms of the Policy applied for may become effective as of the later of:
· 
The date of completing all parts of the application (including medical questions), the date of the last medical examination, tests, and other screenings required by us, if any, or the date requested in the application, whichever is later (the “Effective Date”),  Such conditional insurance will take effect as of the Effective Date, as long as all of the following requirements are met:
 
 
   
1.
The person proposed to be insured is found to have been insurable as of the Effective Date, at any rating under the Company’s rules for insurance on the plan applicable for and in the amount and at the Tobacco Classification applied for.
   
2.
As of the effective date, all statements and answers given in the application must be true.
   
3.
The payment made with the application must not be less than the full initial premium for the mode of payment chosen in the application and must be received at our mailing address within the lifetime of the proposed primary insured for whom the conditional coverage would apply and, in the form of check or draft, must be honored for payment.
   
4.
All medical examinations, tests, and other screenings required of the proposed insured by us are completed and the results received at our administrative office within 60 days of the date the application was signed.
   
5.
All parts of the application, any supplemental application, questionnaires, addendum and/or amendment to the application are signed and received, in good order, at our mailing address.

 

Any conditional life insurance coverage terminates on the earliest of:
·
60 days from the date the application was signed.
·
The date we either mail notice to the applicant of the rejection of the application and/or mail a refund of any amounts paid with the application.
 
·
When the insurance applied for goes into effect under the terms of the Policy that you applied for.
 
·
The date we offer to provide insurance on terms that differ from the insurance for which you have applied.
 
Special limitations of the conditional receipt:
·
The conditional receipt is not valid unless:
 
>
All blanks in the conditional receipt are completed; and
   
>
The receipt is signed by an authorized Company representative.
 
Other limitations:
·
There is no conditional receipt coverage for riders or any additional benefits, if any, for which you may have applied.
 
·
If one or more of the receipt’s conditions have not been met exactly, or if a proposed insured dies by suicide, we will not be liable except to return any payment made with the application.
 
·
If we do not approve and accept the application within 60 days of the date you signed the application, the application will be deemed to be rejected by us and there will be no conditional insurance coverage. In that case, Transamerica Financial Life’s liability will be limited to returning any payment(s) you have made upon return of this receipt to us.

Full Insurance Coverage and Allocation of Initial Premium.  Once we determine that the insured meets our underwriting requirements and you have paid the initial premium, full insurance coverage will begin and we will begin to take the monthly deductions from your net premium. This date is the Policy Date (or the date of issue if the Policy is backdated). Any premium payments we receive before the Policy Date (or date of issue, if applicable) will be held in a non-interest bearing suspense account. On the Policy Date (or the date of issue if your Policy is backdated), the entire amount in the non-interest bearing suspense account will be allocated to the reallocation account until the reallocation date.  While held in the reallocation account, premium(s) will be credited with interest at the current Basic Interest Account rate until the reallocation date when they will be allocated to the subaccounts and/or Basic Interest Account as you specified in your application.  Please Note: Your premiums are credited on the date of issue, not the backdated Policy Date.
 
 On any day we credit net premiums or transfer Policy Value to a subaccount, we will convert the dollar amount of the net premium (or transfer) into subaccount units at the unit value for that subaccount, determined at the end of the day on which we receive the premium or transaction request.  We will credit amounts to the subaccounts only on a valuation date, that is, on a date the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open for trading.
 

Transaction Type:
Priced when received at our:
payment by check
mailing address, unless other address appears on your billing coupon
transfer request
administrative office
payment by wire transfer
administrative office
electronic credit and debit transactions (e.g., payments through direct deposit, debit transfers, and forms of e-commerce payments)
administrative office
 
Backdating a Policy
 
If you request, we may backdate a policy by assigning a Policy Date earlier than the date full insurance coverage begins. However, in no event will we backdate a policy earlier than the earliest date allowed by state law or by our underwriting rules. Your request must be in writing and, if we approve the request, will amend your application. Your premiums, however, will be credited on the date the policy is issued, not the backdated Policy Date.
 
Cost of insurance charges are based in part on the age of the insured on the Policy Date or on the date of a requested increase in face amount. Generally, cost of insurance charges are lower at a younger age. We will deduct the monthly deductions, including cost of insurance charges, for the period that the policy is backdated. This means that while the monthly deductions may be lower than what would have been charged had we not backdated the policy, you will be paying for insurance during a period when the policy was not in force.
 

 
Policy Changes
 
If the Policy is still in force on the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 121, the Policy will continue, with the following changes, unless state law otherwise requires:
 
·  
We will not accept any further premium payments.
·  
We will no longer deduct the monthly deductions.
·  
We will continue to deduct the mortality and expense risk charge, if any.
·  
Interest will continue to accrue on any policy loans, as before, but all loans, new and existing, will be considered preferred loans.
·  
We will continue to accept policy loan repayments and loan interest payments.
·  
We will continue to permit policy loans and withdrawals to be made.

Please Note:  Continuing a policy beyond the insured’s Age 100 may have tax consequences.  You should consult a tax advisor if you intend to keep the Policy in force beyond the insured’s Age 100.  Please see the "Federal Income Tax Considerations" section of this prospectus.

 
Premiums                                                                                                                                                     
 
Allocating Premiums
 

You must instruct us on how to allocate your net premium among the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account. You must follow these guidelines:
 
      Allocation percentages must be in whole numbers.
 
If you select dollar cost averaging, we may require you to have a minimum of $5,000 in each subaccount from which we will make transfers and you may be required to transfer at least a total of $100 monthly.
 
If you select asset rebalancing, your Policy Value if an existing policy, or your initial premium, if a new policy, must be at least $5,000.
 
Unless otherwise required, we may restrict allocations and transfers to the Basic Interest Account if the Basic Interest Account value following the allocation or transfer would exceed $250,000. (This restriction does not apply to any transfer to the Basic Interest Account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights.)
 
Currently, you may change the allocation instructions for additional premium payments without charge at any time by writing us at our mailing address or calling us at our administrative office at 1-800-322-7353, Monday - Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. You may also change your allocations through our web site at www.tflic.com/ny.
 
Please Note: Certain subaccounts have similar names. When providing your allocation instructions, please state or write the full name of the subaccount that you select for your allocation to ensure that those allocation instructions are in good order. The change will be effective as of the valuation date on which we receive the change request, in good order, at our mailing address or administrative office. Upon instructions from you, the authorized registered representative for your Policy may also change your allocation instructions for you. The minimum amount you can allocate to a particular subaccount is 1.0% of a net premium payment.
 
Whenever you direct money into a subaccount, we will credit your Policy with the number of units for that subaccount that can be bought for the dollar payment. Premium payments received at our mailing address, or at the address on your billing coupon (for payments made by check), or at our administrative office (for payments made by wire transfer and through electronic credit and debit transactions) before the NYSE closes, are priced using the unit value determined at the closing of the regular business session of the NYSE (usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). If we receive a premium payment after the NYSE closes or on a day that the NYSE is closed for trading, we will process the order using the subaccount unit value determined at the close of the next regular session of the NYSE. We will credit amounts to the subaccounts only on a valuation date, that is, on a date the NYSE is open for trading. Your Policy Value will vary with the investment experience of the subaccounts in which you invest. You bear the investment risk for amounts you allocate to the subaccounts.
 
You should periodically review how your Policy Value is allocated among the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account because market conditions and your overall financial objectives may change.

Reallocation Account. We will allocate the initial net premium on the Policy Date (or as of the record date if your Policy is backdated) to the reallocation account as shown in your Policy Data.  While held in the reallocation account, net premium(s) will be credited with interest at the current Basic Interest Account rate and reduced by any monthly deductions due. The net premiums will remain in the reallocation account until the reallocation date. The reallocation date is the date we reallocate all cash value held in the reallocation account to the Basic Interest Account and/or subaccounts you selected in your application.  The reallocation date is the later of the Policy Date or the record date (if your Policy is backdated), plus fifteen days.  Please contact your registered representative for details concerning the free-look period..
 
On the first valuation date on or after the reallocation date, we will reallocate all Policy Value from the reallocation account to the Basic Interest Account and the subaccounts you selected on the application. If, however, you requested dollar cost averaging, then on the reallocation date we will reallocate the Policy Value either to the Basic Interest Account, the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP subaccount or the Transamerica JPMorgan Core Bond VP subaccount (depending on which account options you selected on your application).
 
Premium Flexibility
 
You generally have flexibility to determine the frequency and the amount of the premiums you pay. On or before the Policy Date, we may require you to pay a premium at least equal to a minimum monthly no lapse premium set forth in your Policy. Thereafter (subject to the limitations described below), you may make premium payments at any time up to the insured’s Age 121 and in any amount over $50. Under some circumstances, you may be required to pay extra premiums to prevent a lapse. Your minimum monthly no lapse premium may change if you request a change in your Policy. If this happens, we will notify you of the new minimum monthly no lapse premium. See “Minimum Monthly No Lapse Premium” below. No further premium payments will be accepted after the insured’s Age 121 except for amounts paid within grace periods that are required to keep the Policy in force.

Planned Periodic Payments
 
You will determine a planned periodic payment schedule, which allows you to pay level premiums at fixed intervals over a specified period of time. The amount and frequency are shown in the Policy Data.  You are not required to pay premiums according to this schedule. You may change the amount, frequency, and the time period over which you make your planned periodic payments. Please be sure to notify us or your selling firm of any address changes so that we may be able to keep your current address on record.
 
Even if you make your planned periodic payments on schedule, your Policy still may lapse. How long your Policy lasts depends on the Policy’s cash surrender value. If the cash surrender value is not high enough to pay the monthly deductions when due (and your no lapse period has expired) then your Policy will lapse (unless you make the payment we specify during the 61-day grace period).

Minimum Monthly No Lapse Premium
 
The full initial premium is the only premium you are required to pay under the Policy. However, you greatly increase your risk of lapse if you fail to regularly pay premiums at least as large as the current minimum monthly no lapse premium.
 
Until the no lapse ending date shown in your Policy Data, we guarantee that your Policy will not lapse as long as on any Monthly Policy Date you have paid total premiums (minus any cash withdrawals, and minus any loan balance) that equal or exceed the sum of the minimum monthly no lapse premiums for each month from the Policy Date up to, and including, the current month. If you take a cash withdrawal, a loan, or if you increase or decrease your face amount, or if you add, increase or decrease a rider, you may need to pay additional premiums in order to keep the no lapse guarantee in effect.
 
The initial minimum monthly no lapse premium is shown in your Policy Data, and depends on a number of factors, including the age, gender and class of risk of the insured, and the face amount requested.  We will adjust the minimum monthly no lapse premium if you change death benefit options, increase or decrease the face amount, or if any riders are added or terminated, or if in force riders are increased or decreased. We will notify you of the new minimum monthly no lapse premium. We also reserve the right to require, before we issue a Policy, that the initial premium plus the planned premium payable during the no lapse period is at least equal to the cumulative minimum monthly no lapse premiums during the no lapse period.
 
You may obtain information about your minimum monthly no lapse premium and assistance to determine the amount of premiums you must pay to keep your Policy in force by contacting our administrative office.

Premium Limitations
 
We may require premium payments to be at least $50 ($1,000 if by wire). We may return premiums less than the minimum. We will not allow you to make any premium payments that would cause the total amount of the premiums you pay to exceed the current maximum premium limitations, if applicable, by which the Policy qualifies as life insurance under federal tax laws. (See “Death Benefit” for more information regarding the Guideline Premium Test.)
 
This maximum is set forth in your Policy Data. If you make a payment that would cause your total premiums to be greater than the maximum premium limitations, we will generally return the excess portion of the premium payment within 60 days after the end of the Policy Year.  In addition, we reserve the right to refund a premium or require evidence of insurability if the premium would increase the death benefit by more than the amount of the premium. If you choose the Guideline Premium Test there are additional premium limitations. We will not accept a payment that will cause the Policy to become a modified endowment contract without your consent.
 
Note: We reserve the right to refund any premiums in a 12 month period in excess of the planned premium plus $25,000.  Additionally, we reserve the right to refund any premium paid during a Policy Year that:
 
·  
 Increases the difference between the death benefit and the Policy Value; or
 
·  
Is more than $20 per $1,000 of the Face Amount and more than three times the total of the monthly deductions for the last Policy Year.
 

Making Premium Payments
 
Wire Transfers. We will accept premium payments by wire transfer.  If you wish to make payments by wire transfer, you should contact our administrative office at 1-800-322-7353 for instructions on wiring federal funds to us.
 
Tax-Free Exchanges (“1035 Exchanges”). We will accept a part of or all of your initial premiums from one or more contracts insuring the same insured that qualify for tax-free exchanges under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. If you contemplate such an exchange, you should consult a competent tax advisor to learn the potential tax effects of such a transaction.
 
Subject to our underwriting requirements, we will permit you to make one additional cash payment within three business days of receipt at our administrative office of the proceeds from the 1035 Exchange before we finalize your Policy’s face amount.

Please Note:  We may hold premium payments in a non-interest bearing account for up to 14 days if applying the premium payment would cause the policy to violate Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 or other provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. Please refer to the section of this prospectus entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations” for more information regarding tax considerations regarding your Policy or consult a qualified tax advisor.
 
Transfers                                                                                                                                                     
 
General
 
You or your registered representative of record (‘authorized registered representative”) may make transfers among the subaccounts or between the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account. You will be bound by any transfers made by your authorized registered representative.  We determine the amount you have available for transfers at the end of the valuation period when we receive your transfer request. We may, at any time, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, or limit the number of transfers we permit.
 
The following features apply to transfers under the Policy:
·  
Your Policy may be limited to a cumulative transfer from the Basic Interest Account each Policy Year of the greatest of 25% of the amount in the Basic Interest Account, or the amount transferred out of the Basic Interest Account the previous Policy Year.
·  
Currently we do not, but reserve the right to, limit the amount of and the number of transfers out of the Basic Interest Account to one per Policy Year.  If we modify or stop our current practices, we will notify you at the time of your transfer.
·  
Unless otherwise required, we may restrict transfers to the Basic Interest Account, if the Basic Interest Account value following the transfer, would exceed $250,000. This restriction does not apply to any transfer to the Basic Interest Account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights.
·  
You may request transfers in writing (in a form we accept) to our mailing address, by fax to our administrative office. Please Note: Certain subaccounts have similar names. It is important that you state or write the full name of the subaccount when making a transfer request to ensure that any transfer request that you submit is in good order.
·  
We may require that the written request for a transfer out of the Basic Interest Account to be received within a specified period after the Policy Anniversary, but this period will be no less than 30 days.
·  
There is no minimum amount that must be transferred.
·  
There is no minimum amount that must remain in a subaccount after a transfer.
·  
Except as listed below, we may deduct a $25 charge from the amount transferred for each transfer in excess of 12 transfers in a Policy Year.
·  
We consider all transfers made in any one day to be a single transfer.
·  
Transfers resulting from loans or the exercise of conversion rights, or due to reallocation of Policy Value immediately after the reallocation date are currently not treated as transfers for the purpose of assessing the transfer charge.
·  
Transfers under asset rebalancing and dollar cost averaging currently are not treated as transfers for purpose of assessing the transfer charge.

We will process any transfer order that is received, in good order, in writing at our mailing address, or by fax or by telephone at our administrative office, before the NYSE closes (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) using the subaccount unit value determined at the end of that session of the NYSE. If we receive the transfer order after the NYSE closes, or on a day that the NYSE is closed for trading, we will process the order using the subaccount unit value determined at the close of the next regular business session of the NYSE.  (If you send your request by fax, be sure to use the correct fax number.  Please see "Telephone, Fax and Online Privileges.")
 
 
Disruptive Trading and Market Timing
 
Statement of Policy. This variable insurance policy was not designed for the use of market timers or frequent or disruptive traders. Such transfers may be harmful to the underlying funds and increase transaction costs.
 
Market timing and disruptive trading among the subaccounts or between the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account can cause risks with adverse effects for other policyowners (and beneficiaries and underlying funds). These risks and harmful effects include:
1.
Dilution of the interests of long-term investors in a subaccount if purchases or transfers into or out of an underlying funds are made at prices that do not reflect an accurate value for the underlying fund’s investments (some market timers attempt to do this through methods known as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”);
2.
An adverse effect on fund management, such as:
 
a.
Impeding a fund manager’s ability to sustain an investment objective.
 
b.
Causing the underlying fund to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case.
 
c.
Causing an underlying fund to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals or transfers out of the underlying fund.
3.
Increased brokerage and administrative expenses.
 
These costs are borne by all policyowners invested in those subaccounts, not just those making the transfers.
 
We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and disruptive trading (which vary for certain subaccounts at the request of the corresponding underlying funds) and we do not make special arrangements or grant exceptions to accommodate market timing or other potentially disruptive or harmful trading. As discussed herein, we cannot detect or deter all market timing or potentially disruptive trading. Do not invest with us if you intend to conduct market timing or potentially disruptive trading.
 
Detection. We employ various means in an attempt to detect and deter market timing and disruptive trading. However, despite our monitoring we may not be able to detect nor halt all harmful trading. In addition, because other insurance companies (and retirement plans) with different policies and procedures may invest in the underlying funds, we cannot guarantee that all harmful trading will be detected or that an underlying fund will not suffer from market timing and disruptive trading among subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies or retirement plans.
 
Deterrence. If we determine you are engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, we may take one or more actions in an attempt to halt such trading. Your ability to make transfers is subject to modification or restriction if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other policyowners (or others having an interest in the variable insurance products). As described below, restrictions may take various forms but, under our current policies and procedures, will include loss of expedited transfer privileges. We consider transfers by telephone, fax, or overnight mail to be “expedited” transfers. This means that we would accept only written transfer requests with an original signature transmitted to us only by standard United States Postal Service First Class mail. We may also restrict the transfer privileges of others acting on your behalf, including your registered representative or an asset allocation or investment advisory service.

We reserve the right to reject any premium payment or transfer request from any person without prior notice, if, in our judgment, (1) the payment or transfer, or series of transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund’s operations; or (2) if an underlying fund would reject or has rejected our purchase order or has instructed us not to allow that purchase or transfer; or (3) because of a history of market timing or disruptive trading.

We may impose other restrictions on transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any owner who, in our view, has abused, or appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege on a case-by-case basis. We may, at any time and without prior notice, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, impose holding period requirements, or limit the number, size, frequency, manner, or timing of transfers we permit. We also reserve the right to reverse a potentially harmful transfer if an underlying fund refuses or reverses our order; in such instances some policyowners may be treated differently than others in that some transfers may be reversed and others allowed. For all of these purposes, we may aggregate two or more variable insurance products that we believe are connected. Please Note: If you engage a third party investment advisor for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of your investment advisor in providing those services.

In addition, transfers for multiple policies invested in the Transamerica Series Trust underlying funds which are submitted together may be disruptive at certain levels.  At the present time, such aggregated transactions likely will not cause disruption if less than one million dollars total is being transferred with respect to any one underlying fund (a smaller amount may apply to smaller funds).  Please note that transfers of less than one million dollars may be disruptive in some circumstances and this general amount may change quickly.
 
In addition to our internal policies and procedures, we will administer your variable insurance product to comply with any applicable state, federal, and other regulatory requirements concerning transfers. We reserve the right to implement, administer, and charge you for any fee or restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by any underlying fund. To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the underlying funds.
 
Under our current policies and procedures, we do not:
·  
Impose redemption fees on transfers.
·  
Expressly limit the number or size of transfers in a given period except for certain subaccounts where an underlying fund has advised us to prohibit certain transfers that exceed a certain size.
·  
Provide a certain number of allowable transfers in a given period.
 
Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions may be more or less successful than ours in deterring market timing or other disruptive trading, and in preventing or limiting harm from such trading.
 
As noted above, we do not impose a defensive transfer restriction.  In the absence of a defensive transfer restriction (e.g., expressly limiting the number of trades within a given period or their size), it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before it is detected and steps taken to deter it.  (Note: Even with a defensive transfer restriction, some level of market timing and disruptive trading can occur.)
 
Please Note: The limits and restrictions described herein are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity. Our ability to detect market timing or other disruptive trading may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as by our ability to predict strategies employed by policyowners (or those acting on their behalf) to avoid detection. As a result, despite our efforts to prevent harmful trading activity among the variable account options available under this variable insurance product, there is no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter market timing or disruptive trading by such policyowners or intermediaries acting on their behalf. Moreover, our ability to discourage and restrict market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by decisions of state regulatory bodies and court orders which we cannot predict.
 
Furthermore, we may revise our policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or appropriate: (1) to better detect and deter market timing or other harmful trading that may adversely affect other policyowners, other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products, or underlying fund shareholders generally; (2) to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements; or (3) to impose additional or alternative restrictions on owners engaging in market timing or disruptive trading among the account options under the variable insurance product. In addition, we may not honor transfer requests if any variable investment option that would be affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of its corresponding underlying fund.
 
Underlying Fund Frequent Trading Policies. The underlying funds may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. Underlying funds may, for example, assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for a relatively short period of time. The prospectuses for the underlying funds describe any such policies and procedures. The frequent trading policies and procedures of an underlying fund may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other underlying fund and the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance policies to discourage market timing and disruptive trading. Policyowners should be aware that we may not have the contractual ability or the operational capacity to monitor policyowners’ transfer requests and apply the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective underlying funds that would be affected by the transfers. Accordingly, policyowners and other persons who have material rights under our variable insurance products should assume that any protection they may have against potential harm from market timing and disruptive trading is the protection, if any, provided by the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance products to discourage market timing and disruptive trading in certain subaccounts.
 
You should be aware that, as required by SEC regulation, we have entered into a written agreement with each underlying fund or principal underwriter that obligates us to provide the fund, upon written request, with information about you and your trading activities in the funds. In addition, we are obligated to execute instructions from the funds that may require us to restrict or prohibit your investment in a specific fund if the fund identifies you as violating the frequent trading policies that the fund has established.
 
If we receive a premium payment from you that you allocate into a fund that has directed us to restrict or prohibit your trades into the fund, then we will request new allocation instructions from you. If we receive from you a transfer request into a fund that has directed us to restrict or prohibit your trades, then we will not effect the transfer.
 
Omnibus Order. Policyowners and other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products also should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the underlying funds generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans and separate accounts funding variable insurance products. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and individual owners of variable insurance products. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the underlying funds’ ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures. We cannot guarantee that the underlying funds will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans or other insurance companies that may invest in the underlying funds. These other insurance companies are responsible for their own policies and procedures regarding frequent transfer activity. If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage harmful transfer activity, it will affect other owners of underlying fund shares, as well as the owners of all of the variable annuity or life insurance policies, including ours, whose variable account options correspond to the affected underlying funds.. In addition, if an underlying fund believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from owners engaged in market timing and disruptive trading, the underlying fund may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby delay or prevent us from implementing your request.
 
Telephone And Fax Privileges
 
Telephone transfer privileges will automatically apply to your Policy unless you provide other instructions. The telephone transfer privileges will allow you to give authority to the authorized registered representative for your Policy to make telephone transfers and to change the allocation of future payments among the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account on your behalf according to your instructions. To make a telephone transfer, you may call us at our administrative office at 1-800-322-7353, Monday – Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, or you may fax your instructions to our subaccount transfer fax number – 1-727-299-1648 (for all other fax requests, please use 1-727-299-1620).  Note: Certain subaccounts have similar names. When providing your allocation instructions, please state or write the full name of the subaccount that you select for your allocation to ensure that those instructions are in good order.
 
Please note the following regarding telephone or fax transfers:
 
 
We will employ reasonable procedures to confirm that instructions are genuine.
 
If we follow these procedures, we are not liable for any loss, damage, cost or expense from complying with instructions we reasonably believe to be authentic. You bear the risk of any such loss.
 
If we do not employ reasonable confirmation procedures, we may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions.
 
Such procedures may include requiring forms of personal identification prior to acting upon telephone instructions, providing written confirmation of transactions to owners, and/or tape recording telephone instructions received from owners.
 
We may also require that you send us the telephone or fax transfer order in writing.
 
If you do not want the ability to make telephone transfers, you should notify us in writing at our mailing address, or through our fax number to our administrative office – 1-727-299-1620.
 
We will not be responsible for same day processing of transfers if the transfer order is faxed to a number other than 1-727-299-1648 or 1-727-299-1620.
 
We will not be responsible for any transmittal problems when you fax us your order unless you report it to us within five business days and send us proof of your fax transmittal. We may discontinue this option at any time.
 
We cannot guarantee that telephone and electronic transactions will always be available. For example, our offices may be closed during severe weather emergencies or there may be interruptions in telephone or fax service beyond our control. If the volume of calls is unusually high, we might not have someone immediately available to receive your order at our administrative office. Although we have taken precautions to help our systems handle heavy use, we cannot promise complete reliability under all circumstances.
 
You should protect your personal identification number (PIN) because self-service options will be available to your authorized registered representative and to anyone who provides your identifying information. We will not be able to verify that the person using your PIN on the automated phone line is you or one authorized by you.
 
Basic Interest Account Transfers
 
Currently, we do not, but reserve the right to, limit the number of transfers out of the Basic Interest Account to one per Policy Year. If we change this, we will notify you at the time of your transfer.
 
We also reserve the right to limit the maximum amount you may transfer from the Basic Interest Account to the greater of:
 
      25% of the amount in the Basic Interest Account; or
      The amount you transferred from the Basic Interest Account in the immediately preceding Policy Year.

These restrictions do not apply to dollar cost averaging transactions.

We will make the transfer at the end of the valuation date on which we receive the request, in good order, at our administrative office (for telephonic and facsimile transactions), at our mailing address (for written correspondence). We reserve the right to require that you make the transfer request in writing and that we receive the written transfer request no later than 30 days after a Policy Anniversary.  We may restrict transfers to the Basic Interest Account, if the Basic Interest Account value following the transfer would exceed $250,000. Note: These restrictions may prolong the period of time it takes to transfer your total Policy Value in the Basic Interest Account to the subaccounts and, therefore, you should carefully consider whether investment in the Basic Interest Account meets your needs and investment criteria.  This restriction does not apply to any transfer to the Basic Interest Account necessary in the exercise of conversion rights.  (Note:  We will provide a 30 day notice to policyowners prior to changing our current processes.)
 
Except when used to pay premiums, we may also defer payment of any amounts from the Basic Interest Account for no longer than six months after we receive such written notice.

Conversion Rights
 
If, within 24 months of your Policy Date, you transfer all of your subaccount values to the Basic Interest Account, then we will not charge you a transfer fee, even if applicable. You must make your request in writing, in good order, to our mailing address.

In the event of a material change in the investment policy of any fund, you may transfer all subaccount value in that fund to the Basic Interest Account without a transfer charge.  We must receive your request to transfer the subaccount value to the Basic Interest Account in good order within 60 days after the effective date of the change of investment policy or the date you receive notification of such change, whichever is later.

 
Nonforfeiture Reduced Paid-Up Benefit
 
The policyowner may apply the cash surrender value of this Policy to purchase a smaller, fully paid-up policy in place of the Policy’s death benefit.  There would be no further premiums to pay if the policyowner chooses this benefit.  The amount of the paid-up policy is determined by the insured’s Age and underwriting class of risk, and the cash surrender value.  The death benefit will be equal to the cash surrender value on the date that you elect this benefit based on the cost of insurance rates guaranteed in the Policy and the 2% Basic Interest Account.
 

 
The Reduced Paid-Up Benefit request must be made in writing and must be received by us at our mailing address at least 30 days prior to the next Policy anniversary.  This election is irrevocable.  Following the request to purchase the smaller, paid-up policy, policy loans, withdrawals and transfers will not be allowed.  All in-force riders to the Policy will terminate upon the record date of the new policy.
 

Dollar Cost Averaging
 
Dollar cost averaging is an investment strategy designed to reduce the average purchase price per unit. The strategy spreads the allocation of your premium into the subaccounts over a period of time. This potentially allows you to reduce the risk of investing most of your premium into the subaccounts at a time when prices are high. The success of this strategy is not assured and depends on market trends. You should consider carefully your financial ability to continue the program over a long enough period of time to purchase units when their value is low as well as when it is high. We make no guarantee that dollar cost averaging will result in a profit or protect you against loss.
 
Under dollar cost averaging, we automatically transfer a set dollar amount from the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP subaccount or the Transamerica JPMorgan Core Bond VP subaccount, or the Basic Interest Account, to a subaccount or subaccounts that you choose. We will make the transfers monthly as of the end of the valuation date after the first Monthly Policy Date after the reallocation date. We will make the first transfer in the month after we receive your request, in good order at our mailing address or by facsimile at our administrative office, provided that we receive the form by the 25th day of the month. (Note: As stated on the dollar cost averaging form, the date that you select cannot be the 29th, 30th or 31st of any month.)
 


To start dollar cost averaging:
You must submit to us, in good order in writing to our mailing address (or by facsimile to our administrative office), a completed form signed by the owner requesting dollar cost averaging.
 
You may be required to have at least $5,000 in each subaccount or the Basic Interest Account from which we will make transfers.
 
 
Your total transfers each month under dollar cost averaging may be limited to a minimum of $100.
 
 
Each month, you may not transfer more than one-tenth of the amount that was in your Basic Interest Account at the beginning of dollar cost averaging.
 
You may request dollar cost averaging at any time. There is no charge for dollar cost averaging.
 

Dollar cost averaging will terminate if any of the following occur:
We receive, in good order, at our mailing address (or by facsimile or telephone to our administrative office), a request to discontinue participation from you, your registered representative or your authorized registered representative.
 
The value in the account options from which we make the transfers is depleted.
 
You elect to participate in the asset rebalancing program.
 
You elect to participate in any asset allocation services provided by a third party.
 
If you terminate your participation in the dollar cost averaging program but later decide that you would like to participate again, you must submit a new dollar cost averaging form, in good order, signed by the policyowner.  We may modify, suspend, or discontinue dollar cost averaging at any time.

Asset Rebalancing Program
 
We also offer an asset rebalancing program under which you may transfer amounts periodically to maintain a particular allocation percentage among the subaccounts you have selected. Asset rebalancing is not available with the Basic Interest Account. Policy Value allocated to each subaccount will grow or decline in value at different rates. The asset rebalancing program automatically reallocates the Policy Value in the subaccounts at the end of each period to match your Policy’s currently effective premium allocation schedule. Policy Value in the Basic Interest Account is not available for this program, and this program is not available in conjunction with the dollar cost averaging program.  We make no guarantee that asset rebalancing will result in a profit or protect you against loss.
 
You may elect asset rebalancing to occur on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. Once we receive the asset rebalancing request form, in good order, at our mailing address (or by facsimile at our administrative office), we will change your premium allocation to match your asset rebalancing instructions, and we will implement the asset rebalancing program on the date you indicated. If you do not indicate a specific date, then we will use the date that we receive your request form. We will credit the amounts transferred at the unit value next determined on the dates the transfers are made. If a day on which rebalancing would ordinarily occur falls on a day on which the NYSE is closed, rebalancing will occur on the next day that the NYSE is open.
 

     
To start asset rebalancing:
· 
You must submit to us, in good order, in  writing to mailing address (or by facsimile
 to our administrative office) a completed  asset rebalancing request form
signed by the owner.
 
· 
You may be required to have a minimum Policy Value of $5,000 or make a $5,000 initial premium payment.
 
There is no charge for the asset rebalancing program.  (We reserve the right to count such allocations as part of your free transfers in the future.)
 

Asset rebalancing will cease if:
· 
You elect to participate in the dollar cost averaging program.
 
· 
We receive, in good order, at our mailing address (or by facsimile or telephone to our administrative office) a request to discontinue participation from you or your authorized registered representative.
 
· 
You make any transfer to or from any subaccount other than under a scheduled rebalancing.
 
· 
You elect to participate in any asset allocation services provided by a third party.
 
You may start and stop participation in the asset rebalancing program at any time, but we restrict your right to re-enter the program to once each Policy Year. If you wish to resume the asset rebalancing program, you must complete a new request form. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the asset rebalancing program at any time.
 
Third Party Asset Allocation Services
 
We do not offer any asset allocation programs, or any investment models for use with your life insurance policy. You may authorize and engage your own investment advisor to manage your account. These investment advisors may be firms or persons who also are appointed by us, or whose affiliated broker-dealers are appointed by us, as authorized sellers of the policies. Even if this is the case, however, please note that the investment advisor you engage to provide advice and/or make transfers for you is not acting on our behalf, but rather is acting on your behalf. We do not offer advice about how to allocate your Policy Value under any circumstance. We are not responsible for any recommendations such investment advisors make, any investment models or asset allocation programs they choose to follow, or any specific transfers they make on your behalf.
 
Any fee that is charged by your investment advisor is in addition to the fees and expenses that apply under your Policy. We are not a party to the agreement you have with your investment advisor. You will, however, receive confirmations of transactions that affect your Policy. Note: If you make withdrawals of Policy Value to pay advisory fees, then taxes may apply to any such withdrawals and tax penalties may be assessed on withdrawals made before you attain age 59½.
 
If your investment advisor has also acted as your insurance agent with respect to the sale of your Policy, he or she may be receiving compensation for services provided both as an insurance agent and investment advisor. Alternatively, the investment advisor may compensate the registered representative from whom you purchased your Policy for the referral that led you to enter into your investment advisory relationship with the investment advisor. If you are interested in the details about the compensation that your investment advisor and/or your registered representative receive in connection with your Policy, you should ask them for more details.
 
We, or an affiliate of ours, will process the financial transactions placed by your authorized registered representative or investment advisor. We reserve the right to discontinue doing so at any time and for any reason. We may require insurance agents or investment advisors, who are authorized by multiple policyowners to make financial transactions, to enter into an administrative agreement with Transamerica Financial Life as a condition of our accepting transactions on your behalf. The administrative agreement may impose limitations on the authorized registered representative’s or investment advisor’s ability to request financial transactions on your behalf. These limitations, which are discussed in the section above entitled “Transfers – Disruptive Trading and Market Timing,” are intended (i) to minimize the detrimental impact of an investment professional who is in a position to transfer large amounts of money for multiple clients in a particular fund or type of fund; or (ii) to comply with specific restrictions or limitations imposed by a fund of Transamerica Financial Life.
 
Note: Limitations that we may impose on your authorized registered representative or investment advisor under the terms of the administrative agreement do not apply to financial transactions requested by owners on their own behalf, except as otherwise described in this prospectus. Any third party asset allocation service may be terminated at any time by the owner or by the Third Party Service by sending written instructions to our mailing address.
 
Valuation of the Policy                                                                                                                                                                
 
 
Policy Value
Your Policy Value:
Is determined on the Policy Date and on each valuation date.
Equals the sum of the values in each subaccount, the Basic Interest Account and the loan reserve.
Serves as the starting point for calculating values under a policy.
Varies from day to day, depending on the investment experience of the subaccounts you choose, the interest credited to the Basic Interest Account and the loan reserve, the charges deducted and any other policy transactions (such as additional premium payments, transfers, withdrawals and policy loans).
Has no guaranteed minimum amount and may be more or less than premiums paid.

Cash Surrender Value
 
The cash surrender value is the amount we pay when you surrender your Policy while it is in force. We determine the cash surrender value at the end of the valuation period when we receive your written surrender request, in good order, at our mailing address. You may also fax your request to 1-727-299-1620.
 
Cash surrender value on any valuation date equals:
·
The Policy Value as of such date; minus
 
Any surrender charge as of such date; minus
 
Any loan balance.
 

 
Subaccount Value
 
The Policy Value in a subaccount is referred to as “subaccount value.” At the end of any valuation period, subaccount value is equal to the number of units that the Policy has in the subaccount, multiplied by the unit value of that subaccount. (Note: Subaccount transactions are converted to units for accounting purposes.)
     
The number of units in any subaccount on any valuation date equals:
The initial units purchased at unit value on the Policy Date, or reallocation date, if different; plus
 
Units purchased with additional net premium(s); plus
 
Units purchased due to a loan repayment; plus
 
Units purchased through transfers from another subaccount or the Basic Interest Account; minus
 
Units redeemed to pay for monthly deductions; minus
 
Units redeemed to pay for cash withdrawals; minus
 
Units redeemed as part of a transfer to another subaccount, or the Basic Interest Account; minus
 
Units redeemed to pay cash withdrawal and transfer charges; minus
 
Units redeemed as part of a transfer due to a loan; minus
 
Units redeemed due to any refund of premiums allocated to that subaccount.
 
Every time you allocate, transfer or withdraw money to or from a subaccount, we convert that dollar amount into units. We determine the number of units we credit to, or subtract from, your Policy by dividing the dollar amount of the allocation, transfer or cash withdrawal by the unit value for that subaccount next determined at the end of the valuation period on which the premium allocation, transfer request, or cash withdrawal request is received at our administrative office.
 
Subaccount Unit Value
 
The value (or price) of each subaccount unit will reflect the investment performance of the fund in which the subaccount invests. Unit values will vary among subaccounts. The unit value at the inception of each class of units of each subaccount was originally established at $10 per unit. The unit value may increase or decrease from one valuation period to the next.
     
The unit value of any subaccount at the end of a valuation period is calculated as:
The total value of the fund shares held in the subaccount, including the value of any dividends or capital gains distribution declared and reinvested by the fund during the valuation period. This value is determined by multiplying the number of fund shares owned by the subaccount by the fund’s net asset value per share determined at the end of the valuation period; minus
 
The mortality and expense risk charge that has accrued during the valuation period.  This charge is equal to the net assets of the Subaccount, multiplied by the mortality and expense risk charge factor for the number of days in the Valuation Period.  The maximum annual mortality and expense risk charge factor is shown in the Policy Data; minus
 
The accrued amount of reserve for any taxes or other economic burden resulting from applying tax laws that we determine to be properly attributable to the subaccount; and the result divided by
 
The number of outstanding units in the subaccount before the purchase or redemption of any units on that date.
 
The fund in which any subaccount invests will determine its net asset value per share once daily, as of the close of the regular business session of the NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) except on customary national holidays on which the NYSE is closed, which coincides with the end of each valuation period.
 
Basic Interest Account Value
 
On the Policy Date, or the reallocation date if different, the Basic Interest Account value is equal to the Policy Value allocated to the Basic Interest Account, less the portion of the first monthly deduction allocated to the Basic Interest Account.
     
The Basic Interest Account value at the end of any valuation period is equal to:
The sum of net premiums allocated to the Basic Interest Account; plus
 
Any amounts transferred from a subaccount to the Basic Interest Account; plus
 
Any amount transferred from the loan reserve to the Basic Interest Account due to a loan repayment; plus
 
Total interest credited to the Basic Interest Account; minus
 
Amounts charged to pay for monthly deductions; minus
 
Amounts withdrawn or surrendered from the Basic Interest Account to pay for cash withdrawals minus
 
Any amount transferred from the Basic Interest Account to the loan reserve due to a loan; minus
 
Amounts transferred from the Basic Interest Account to a subaccount; minus
 
Any amounts charged to the Basic Interest Account for transfer charges or other fees; minus
 
Any refund of premiums allocated to the Basic Interest Account.
 
Payment upon Death of Insured                                                                                                                                                     
 
Death Benefit
 
Provided that the Policy is in force, we will determine the amount of and pay the death benefit on an individual policy upon receipt in good order at our administrative office of satisfactory proof of the insured’s death, plus written direction (from each eligible recipient of the death benefit) regarding distribution of the death benefit payment, and any other documents, forms and information we need. We may require that the Policy be returned. We will pay the death benefit to the primary beneficiary(ies), if living, or to a contingent beneficiary. If each beneficiary dies before the insured and there is no contingent beneficiary, we will pay the death benefit to the owner or the owner’s estate. We will pay the death benefit in a lump sum or under a payment option.
     
The final death benefit payment is equal to:
The amount determined based on the death benefit option that you select (described below); minus
 
Any monthly deductions due during the grace period (if applicable); minus
 
Any loan balance; plus
 
Any additional insurance in force provided by rider.
 
We may further adjust the amount of the death benefit if we contest the Policy or if you misstate the insured’s age or gender.
 
Interest from Date of Death
 
We will pay interest on the death benefit under the Policy after we receive due proof of the insured’s death.  We will pay interest on the death benefit from the date of death to the date of payment.  The annual interest rate will be at least 1% and will satisfy the requirements of the state of New York.
 
Death Benefit Options
 
The Policy offers three death benefit options. You must select one of the three death benefit options we offer. The amount of the death benefit is determined at the end of the valuation period in which the insured dies. If you do not choose a death benefit option in your application, the Level death benefit option will automatically be in effect. No matter which death benefit option you choose, we guarantee that, as long as the Policy does not lapse, the death benefit will never be less than the face amount on the date of the insured’s death adjusted as shown above.
 
The Policy is intended to qualify under Internal Revenue Code Section 7702 as a life insurance policy for federal tax purposes. The death benefit is intended to qualify for the federal income tax exclusion. The provisions of the Policy and any attached endorsement or rider will be interpreted to ensure such qualification, regardless of any language to the contrary.
 
To the extent the death benefit is increased to maintain qualification as a life insurance policy, we will make appropriate adjustments (retroactively and prospectively) to any monthly deductions or supplemental benefits that are consistent with such an increase. We may deduct retroactive adjustments from the Policy Value or from any death benefits payable. Prospective adjustments will be reflected in the monthly deductions.
 
Under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code, a policy will generally be treated as life insurance for federal tax purposes if, at all times, it meets either a “Guideline Premium Test (GPT)” or a “Cash Value Accumulation Test (CVAT).” You must choose either the GPT or the CVAT before the policy is issued. Once the policy is issued, you may not change to a different test. The death benefit will vary depending on which test is used.
 
The GPT has two components, a premium limit component and a corridor component. The premium limit restricts the amount of premium that can be paid into the Policy. The corridor requires that the death benefit be at least a certain percentage (varying each year by age of the insured) of the Policy Value. The CVAT does not have a premium limit, but does have a corridor that requires that the death benefit be at least a certain percentage (varying based on the age, gender and underwriting class of risk of the insured) of the Policy Value, adjusted for certain riders.
 
The corridor under the CVAT is different from the corridor under the GPT. Specifically, the CVAT corridor requires more death benefit in relation to Policy Value than is required by the GPT corridor. Therefore, for a policy in the corridor with no riders, as your Policy Value increases your death benefit will increase more rapidly under CVAT than it would under GPT.
 
Your Policy will be issued using the GPT unless you choose otherwise. In deciding whether or not to choose the CVAT, you should consider that the CVAT generally permits more premiums to be contributed to a policy, but may require the policy to have a higher death benefit, which may increase certain charges.

Level Option

Under the Guideline Premium Test
     
The death benefit equals the greatest of:
1. 
The face amount; or
 
2. 
A specified percentage called the “death benefit factor,” as shown in your Policy Data, multiplied by the Policy Value on the insured’s date of death; or
 
3. 
The amount required for the Policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Under the Level option, your death benefit remains level unless the death benefit factor multiplied by the Policy Value is greater than the face amount; then, the death benefit will vary as the Policy Value varies.
 
The death benefit factor is the minimum multiple of Policy Value we must pay as the death benefit under federal tax requirements. The death benefit factor is shown in the Policy Data for the insured’s Age as of his or her death. The following table indicates the death benefit factors for the GPT for different Ages:
     
Age
 
Death benefit factors
40 and under
 
2.50
41 to 45
 
2.50 minus 0.07 for each age over age 40
46 to 50
 
2.15 minus 0.06 for each age over age 45
51 to 55
 
1.85 minus 0.07 for each age over age 50
56 to 60
 
1.50 minus 0.04 for each age over age 55
61 to 65
 
1.30 minus 0.02 for each age over age 60
66 to 70
 
1.20 minus 0.01 for each age over age 65
71 to 75
 
1.15 minus 0.02 for each age over age 70

1.05 minus 0.01 for each age over age 90
96 to 99
 
1.00
100 and older
 
1.01
 
If the federal tax code requires us to determine the death benefit by reference to these death benefit factors, then the policy is described as “in the corridor.” An increase in the Policy Value will increase our risk, and we will increase the cost of insurance we deduct from the Policy Value.
 
Level Option Guideline Premium Test Illustration. Assume that the insured’s Age is under 40 and that there is no loan balance. Under the Level option, a policy with a $100,000 face amount will generally pay $100,000 in death benefits. However, because the death benefit must be equal to or be greater than 2.50 times the Policy Value, any time the Policy Value exceeds $40,000, the death benefit will exceed the $100,000 face amount. (The figure $40,000 is derived by solving for Policy Value in the following calculation: $100,000 = 2.50 multiplied by Policy Value.) Each additional dollar added to the Policy Value above $40,000 will increase the death benefit by $2.50.
 
Similarly, as long as the Policy Value exceeds $40,000, each dollar taken out of the Policy Value will reduce the death benefit by $2.50. If at any time the Policy Value multiplied by the death benefit factor is less than the face amount, then the death benefit will equal the face amount of the Policy.


Under the Cash Value Accumulation Test
     
Death Benefit equals the greatest of:
1.
The face amount; or
 
2.
A specified factor called the “death benefit factor,” as shown in your Policy Data, multiplied by the difference between the Policy Value on the date of the primary insured’s death and any applicable net single premium for riders that are qualified additional benefits as shown in your Policy Data. (Note: Qualified additional benefits are specific benefits defined as such in Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.); or
 
3.
The amount required for the policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Under the Level option, your death benefit remains level unless the death benefit factor calculation above is greater than the face amount; then, the death benefit will vary as the Policy Value varies.
 
The death benefit factor and the net single premium for riders under CVAT are calculated as specified under Section 7702. They are based on the insured’s gender, underwriting class of risk, face amount band, and Age at the beginning of each Policy Year.
 
If the federal tax code requires us to determine the death benefit by reference to these death benefit factors and net single premiums, the policy is described as “in the corridor.” An increase in the Policy Value will increase our risk, and we will increase the cost of insurance we deduct from the Policy Value.
 
Level Option Cash Value Accumulation Test Illustration. Assume that a policy has no loan balance. Also assume that the policy has a face amount of $100,000, an Additional Insured Rider with a face amount of $50,000 has been added to the policy, the death benefit factor is 2.97, and the net single premium for the rider is $14,850. Under the Level option, a policy with a $100,000 face amount will generally pay $100,000 in death benefits. However, because the death benefit for the policy, not including the Additional Insured Rider, must be equal to or be greater than 2.97 times the difference of the Policy Value and the net single premium for riders, any time the Policy Value exceeds $48,520, the death benefit of the Base Policy will exceed the $100,000 face amount. The figure of $48,520 is derived by solving for Policy Value in the calculation $100,000 = 2.97 multiplied by (Policy Value minus $14,850): 2.97 multiplied by ($48,520 – $14,850) = $100,000. Each additional dollar added to the Policy Value above $48,520 will increase the death benefit of the policy by $2.97.
 
Similarly, as long as the Policy Value exceeds $48,520, each dollar taken out of the Policy Value will reduce the death benefit of the policy, not including the Additional Insured Rider, by $2.97. If at any time the difference between the Policy Value and the net single premium for riders multiplied by the death benefit factor is less than the face amount, the death benefit of the Policy, not including the Additional Insured Rider, will equal the face amount of the Policy.
 
Increasing Option
 
Under the Guideline Premium Test
     
The death benefit equals the greatest of:
1.
The face amount; plus the Policy Value on the insured’s date of death; or
 
2.
The death benefit factor, as shown in your
Policy Data, multiplied by the Policy Value on the primary insured’s date of death; or
 
3.
The amount required for the policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
 
Under the Increasing option, the death benefit always varies as the Policy Value varies.
 
Increasing Option Guideline Premium Test Illustration. Assume that the insured’s Age is under 40 and that there is no loan balance. Under the Increasing option, a policy with a face amount of $100,000 will generally pay a death benefit of $100,000 plus Policy Value. Thus, a policy with a Policy Value of $10,000 will have a death benefit of $110,000 ($100,000 + $10,000). The death benefit, however, must be at least 2.50 times the Policy Value. As a result, if the Policy Value exceeds $66,667, then the death benefit will be greater than the face amount plus Policy Value. The figure of $66,667 is derived by solving for Policy Value in the calculation 2.50 multiplied by Policy Value = $100,000 plus Policy Value: 2.50 multiplied by $66,667 = $100,000 plus $66,667.  Each additional dollar of Policy Value above $66,667 will increase the death benefit by $2.50.
 
 
Similarly, any time the Policy Value exceeds $66,667, each dollar taken out of the Policy Value will reduce the death benefit by $2.50. If at any time, the Policy Value multiplied by the death benefit factor is less than the face amount plus the Policy Value, then the death benefit will be the face amount plus the Policy Value.
 
Under the Cash Value Accumulation Test
     
The death benefit equals the greatest of:
1.
The face amount; plus the Policy Value on the insured’s date of death;
or
 
2.
A specified factor called the “death benefit factor,” as shown in your Policy Data, multiplied by the difference between the Policy Value on the date of the insured’s death and any applicable net single premium for riders that are qualified additional benefits as shown in your Policy Data; or
 
3.
The amount required for the policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Under the Increasing option, the death benefit always varies as the Policy Value varies.
 
Increasing Option Cash Value Accumulation Test Illustration. Assume that the insured’s Age is 40 and that there is no loan balance. Also assume that the policy has a face amount of $100,000, an Additional Insured Rider with a face amount of $50,000 has been added to the policy, the death benefit factor is 2.97, and the net single premium for the rider is $14,850. Under the Increasing option, a policy with a face amount of $100,000 will generally pay a death benefit of $100,000 plus Policy Value. Thus, a policy with a Policy Value of $10,000 will have a death benefit of $110,000 ($100,000 + $10,000). The death benefit for the Base Policy, however, must be at least 2.97 times the difference of the Policy Value and the net single premium for riders. As a result, if the Policy Value exceeds $73,149, then the death benefit for the Base Policy will be greater than the face amount plus Policy Value. The figure of $73,149 is derived by solving for Policy Value in the calculation 2.97 multiplied by (Policy Value minus the net single premium for the rider) = face amount plus Policy Value: 2.97 multiplied by ($73,149 minus $14,850) = $100,000 plus $73,149.  Each additional dollar of Policy Value above $73,149 will increase the death benefit of the Base Policy by $2.97.
 
Similarly, any time Policy Value exceeds $73,149, each dollar taken out of Policy Value will reduce the death benefit of the Base Policy by $2.97. If at any time, the difference between Policy Value and the net single premium for riders multiplied by the death benefit factor is less than the face amount plus the Policy Value, then the death benefit for the Base Policy will be the face amount plus the Policy Value.
 
Graded Option
 

The death benefit equals the greatest of:
1.
The Level death benefit option under either GPT or CVAT; or
 
 
2.
The face amount, multiplied by the applicable factor below, where the factor, by Age, is equal to:
 
   
    Age
Factor
 
   
0 to 70
71 to 94
 
95+
1.00
.04 x (95 minus Age
at death)
zero
 
   
plus the Policy Value on the date of the insured’s death; or
 
 
3.
The amount required for the policy to qualify as a life insurance policy under Section 7702 of the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Under the Graded option, the death benefit varies with the Policy Value and the insured’s Age. Because the death benefit under the Graded option is at least as large as that under the Level option, the Code Section 7702 life insurance qualification compliance test used in calculating the Level death benefit option will be taken into account in the Graded death benefit option.
 
Graded Option–Three Illustrations.
 
1.  
Assume that the insured is Age 75 and that there is no loan balance. Under the Graded option, a policy with a face amount of $100,000 and with a Policy Value of $22,000 will have a death benefit of $102,000 ($100,000 multiplied by (0.04 multiplied by (95 minus 75)) plus $22,000).
2.  
Assume that the insured is Age 75 and that there is no loan balance. Under the Graded option, a policy with a face amount of $100,000 and with a Policy Value of $9,000 will have a death benefit equal to the face amount of $100,000, since the calculation of $100,000 multiplied by (0.04 multiplied by (95 minus 75)) plus $9,000 is less than the face amount.
 
3.  
Assume that the insured is under age 71 and that there is no loan balance. Under the Graded option, a policy with a face amount of $100,000 and with a Policy Value of $10,000 will have a death benefit of $110,000, because through age 70 the Graded death benefit option factor is 1.0. Until the insured attains age 71, the Graded option death benefit is the same as the Increasing option death benefit.
 
Death Benefit After Age 121
 
If the Policy is still in force after the insured’s Age 121, the Policy will continue and the death benefit payable will continue to be calculated in accordance with the death benefit option and the life insurance compliance test then in effect.
 
Death Benefit with Long Term Care Rider
 
Policies with a Long Term Care Rider are endorsed to provide a residual/minimum life insurance death benefit equal to the lesser of (a) 10% of the lowest face amount of the Base Policy from inception, less any outstanding policy loans; or (b) $10,000.

Upon the insured’s death (while we are paying benefits under the rider or after the maximum has been paid), the beneficiary will receive the greater of: (1) the Policy’s current death benefit at time of death less any loan balance, reduced by the sum of Long Term Care Rider benefit payments; or (2) the residual death benefit.
 

 
Choosing Death Benefit Options
 
You must choose one death benefit option on your application. This is an important decision. The death benefit option you choose will have an impact on the dollar value of the death benefit, on your Policy Value, and on the amount of cost of insurance charges you pay.  If you do not select a death benefit option on your application, then the Level option will become the death benefit option for your Policy by default.

You may find the Level option more suitable for you if your goal is to increase your Policy Value through positive investment experience. You may find the Increasing option more suitable if your goal is to increase your total death benefit. You may find the Graded option more suitable if your goal is to increase your total death benefit before you reach Age 70, and to increase your Policy Value through positive investment experience thereafter.


Effect of Cash Withdrawals on the Death Benefit
 
If the Level death benefit option is in effect, or if the Graded option is in effect and the insured’s Age is 71 or greater, a cash withdrawal will reduce the face amount of the Policy by an amount equal to the amount of the cash withdrawal. Regardless of the death benefit option in effect, a cash withdrawal will reduce the death benefit by at least the amount of the withdrawal.
 

Changing the Death Benefit Option
 
After the third Policy Year, you may change your death benefit option once each Policy Year.  Changing the death benefit option may affect the face amount. We will notify you of the new face amount.
 
·  
Changes to the Death Benefit Option are subject to the following conditions:
 
·  
You must send your written request, in good order, to our mailing address or fax it to us at 1-727-299-1620. (If you send your request by fax, be sure to use the correct fax number.  Please see "Telephone, Fax and Online Privileges.")
 
·  
The effective date of the change will be the Monthly Policy Date on or following the date when we receive your request for a change.
 
·  
You may not make a change that would decrease the face amount below the minimum face amount shown in your Policy Data.
 
·  
You may not change the death benefit option after the insured’s Age 95.
 
·  
There may be adverse federal tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before changing your Policy’s death benefit option.
 
Any changes in the face amount due to changes of the death benefit option will impact the determination of all Income Protection Option benefits after the death of the insured and will change the LTC Rider specified amount.

Increasing/Decreasing the Face Amount

You can increase the face amount after the first Policy Year or decrease it at any time after the third Policy Year.  No more than one change in the face amount can occur each Policy Year. An increase or decrease in the face amount will affect your cost of insurance charge, your monthly expense charge, the Policy’s qualification under the Guideline Premium Test, your ability to maintain the status of your Policy as a Modified Endowment Contract, and your minimum monthly no lapse premium.  An increase or decrease in the face amount also may affect your ability to maintain the no lapse guarantee, and may have adverse federal tax consequences.
 
In addition, an increase or decrease in face amount may move the Policy into a different face amount band so that your overall cost of insurance rate may change. An increase in face amount will be treated as an additional layer of coverage with its own monthly expense charge, surrender charges and surrender charge period. If you increase your face amount, you will receive notification of your new minimum monthly no lapse premium and surrender charge schedule. Increases are not allowed if your Policy includes the Long Term Care Rider.
 
Any decrease will reduce your face amount in the additional layer of coverage created:
 

1.  
first, by the most recent increase;
2.  
followed by the next most recent increases successively; and
3.  
followed by the amount specified in the original application.

You should consult a tax advisor before increasing or decreasing your Policy’s face amount.
 
 

Conditions for and impact of decreasing the face  amount:
 
 
There is a minimum face amount decrease of $25,000.
 
You must send your written request, in good order, to our mailing address or fax it to us at 1-727-299-1620.
 
Decreases are only allowed after the third Policy Year.
 
You may not increase and decrease your face amount in the same Policy Year.
 
You may not decrease your face amount lower than the minimum face amount of $50,000.
 
You may not decrease your face amount if it would disqualify your Policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
Until the later of the end of the surrender charge period or the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 65 we may limit the amount of decrease to no more than 20% of the face amount.
 
A decrease in face amount will take effect on the Monthly Policy Date on or next following the day we receive your written request, in good order, at our mailing address.
 
If a decrease to your Policy’s face amount causes your face amount band to change, then we will apply the cost of insurance rates to the amounts in the new band as of the effective date of the decrease in face amount.
 
A decrease in face amount will cause a new minimum monthly no lapse premium to be calculated. The new minimum monthly no lapse premium is effective on the date of decrease.
 
A decrease in face amount will result in an adjustment to the Long Term Care Rider specified amount and to the Income Protection Option benefits.
 
Conditions for and impact of increasing the face amount:
We will accept requests for increases in face amount on any Monthly Policy Date (after the first Policy Year) before the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 86.
 
Your request, in good order, must be applied for on a supplemental application and include evidence of insurability satisfactory to us.
 
A requested increase in face amount requires our approval and will take effect on the Monthly Policy Date on or after the day we approve your request.
 
We may require your requested increase in face amount to be at least $50,000.
 
You may not decrease and increase your face amount in the same Policy Year.
 
If an increase to your Policy’s face amount causes your face amount band to change, then we will apply the cost of insurance rates to the amounts in the new band as of the effective date of the increase in face amount.
 
An increase in face amount will cause a new minimum monthly no lapse premium to be calculated. The new minimum monthly no lapse premium is effective on the date of increase.
 
Each increase in face amount will have its own surrender charge that applies for 10 years after the date of each increase. This charge may significantly reduce your cash surrender value.

Payment Options
 
There are several ways to receive proceeds under the death benefit and surrender provisions of the Policy, other than in a lump sum. These are described under “Settlement Options” in your Policy and in this prospectus.
 
Surrenders and Cash Withdrawals                                                                                                                                                                
 
Surrenders
 
You must make a written request to surrender your Policy for its cash surrender value as calculated at the end of the valuation date on which we receive your request, in good order, at our mailing address. You may also fax your request to our administrative office at 1-727-299-1620. We may require an original signature in such written request.  Written requests to surrender a Policy that are received at our mailing address (or faxed to our administrative office) before the NYSE closes are priced using the subaccount unit value determined at the close of that regular business session of the NYSE (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). If we receive the written request at our mailing address or a fax request at our administrative office after the NYSE closes, or on a day that the NYSE is closed for trading, we will process the surrender request using the subaccount unit value determined at the close of the next regular business session of the NYSE. Please Note: All surrender requests must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing your request.
 
The insured must be alive, and the policy must be in force when you make your written request. A surrender is effective as of the date when we receive your written request, in good order, at our mailing address. You will incur a surrender charge if you surrender the Policy during the first 10 Policy Years (or during the 10-year period following an increase in face amount).
 
Once you surrender your Policy, all coverage and other benefits under it cease and cannot be reinstated. We will normally pay you the cash surrender value in a lump sum (by check) within seven days or under a settlement option.  A surrender may have tax consequences. For more information regarding tax consequences, please refer to the section entitled “Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this prospectus.


Cash Withdrawals
 
You may request a cash withdrawal of a portion of your surrender value subject to certain conditions. (Note: All requests for a withdrawal must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing your request.)
 

Cash withdrawal conditions:
You must send your written cash withdrawal request with an original signature, in good order, to our mailing address. If your withdrawal request is less than $500,000, then you may fax it to us at 1-727-299-1620.
 
The amount of a withdrawal may be limited to a minimum of $500 and may not exceed the cash surrender value, less $500.
 
You may not take a cash withdrawal if it will reduce the face amount below the minimum face amount of $50,000.
 
If a withdrawal changes the face amount of the Policy, the new face amount will be the basis for the final determination of all Income Protection Option benefits upon the death of the insured and will result in an adjustment to the Long Term Care Rider specified amount.
 
You may specify the subaccount(s) and the Basic Interest Account from which to make the withdrawal. If you do not specify an account option(s), we will take the withdrawal from each account option in accordance with your current premium allocation instructions.  If this is not possible, the withdrawal amount will be withdrawn pro-rata from all account options.
 
We generally will pay a cash withdrawal request within seven days following the valuation date we receive the request, in good order, at our mailing address.
 
We will deduct a processing fee equal to $25 or 2% of the amount you withdraw, whichever is less. We deduct this amount from the withdrawal, and we pay you the balance.
 
You may not take a cash withdrawal that would disqualify your policy as life insurance under the Internal Revenue Code.
 
A cash withdrawal may have tax consequences.
 
A cash withdrawal will reduce the Policy Value by the amount of the cash withdrawal, and will reduce the death benefit by at least the amount of the cash withdrawal. A cash withdrawal will reduce the face amount by an amount equal to the amount of the cash withdrawal if you choose the Level death benefit option. If you choose the Graded option, the face amount is reduced if the insured is Age 71 or greater.  However, no withdrawal will be allowed if the resulting face amount would be less than the $50,000 minimum face amount. This decrease in face amount may cause your Policy to be in a lower face amount band, so that your cost of insurance rates would be higher. You also may have to pay higher minimum monthly no lapse premiums.
 
When we incur extraordinary expenses, such as overnight mail expenses or wire service fees, for expediting delivery of your cash withdrawal or surrender payment, we will deduct that charge from the payment. We currently charge $25 for an overnight delivery ($35 for Saturday delivery) and $50 for wire service. You can obtain further information about these charges by contacting us at our administrative office.

Canceling a Policy

You may cancel a Policy for a refund during the "free-look period" by returning it, with a written request to cancel the Policy, to our mailing address. You may also fax your request to our administrative office at 1-727-299-1620 along with page 3 of the Policy. The "free-look period" expires 10 days after you receive the Policy.  If you decide to cancel the Policy during the "free-look period," we will treat the Policy as if it had never been issued. We will pay the refund within seven days after we receive, in good order, the returned Policy at our mailing address (or a fax request and page 3 of the Policy are received in good order at our administrative office. The amount of the refund will be the total of all premiums you paid under the Policy.
 
 

 Long Term Care Rider

If you elected the Long Term Care Rider under your Policy, your Long Term Care Rider has a 30-day free-look period.  If you wish to cancel the rider without canceling the Policy, you must return the Policy and this rider to us so that we can send back your Policy without the rider.
 
Signature Guarantees

Signature guarantees are relied upon as a means of preventing the perpetration of fraud in financial transactions, including the disbursement of funds or assets from a victim's account with a financial institution or a provider of financial services.  They provide protection to investors by, for example, making it more difficult for a person to take another person's money by forging a signature on a written request for the disbursement of funds.

As a protection against fraud, we may require that the following transaction requests include a Medallion signature guarantee:

 
All requests for disbursements (i.e., cash withdrawals and surrenders) of $500,000 or more.
 
Any disbursement request made on or within 10 days of our receipt of a request to change the address of record for an owner's Policy.
 
Any disbursement request when Transamerica Financial Life has been directed to send proceeds to a different address from the address of record for that owner's account.  Please Note:  This requirement will not apply to disbursement requests made in connection with exchanges of one policy for another with the same owner in a "tax-free exchange" under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code.
·  
Any transaction where the owner’s signature on a request submitted does not match the signature in our files.

An investor can obtain a signature guarantee from more than 7,000 financial institutions across the United States and Canada that participate in a Medallion signature guarantee program.  This includes many:

·  
National and state banks.
·  
Savings banks and savings and loan associations.
·  
Securities brokers and dealers.
·  
Credit unions.

The best source of a signature guarantee is a bank, savings and loan association, brokerage firm, or credit union with which you do business.  Guarantor firms may, but frequently do not, charge a fee for their services.

A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.  Notarization will not substitute for a signature guarantee.
 
Loans                                                                                                                                                     
 
General
 
After your Policy’s free-look period (as long as the Policy is in force) you may borrow money from the Policy using the Policy’s cash surrender value as the only security for the loan.  A loan that is taken from and secured by a policy may have tax consequences. See “Federal Income Tax Considerations.”
     
Policy loans are subject to certain conditions:
 
 
We may require you to borrow at least $500.
 
The maximum amount you may borrow is 90% of the cash surrender value, minus loan interest that will accrue before the next Policy Anniversary.
 
When you take a loan, we will withdraw an amount equal to the requested loan from each of the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account based on your current premium allocation instructions (unless you specify otherwise). We will transfer that amount to the loan reserve.  The loan reserve is part of our general account.
 
We normally pay the amount of the loan within seven days after we receive a loan request, in good order, at our mailing address or, in limited circumstances described below, by telephone or fax at our administrative office.  We may postpone payment of loans under certain conditions.

You may request a loan of up to $50,000 by telephone by calling us at our administrative office at 1-800-322-7353, Monday – Friday, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If you do not want the ability to request a loan by telephone, you should notify us in writing at our mailing address. You will be required to provide certain information for identification purposes when you request a loan by telephone. We may ask you to provide us with written confirmation of your request. We will not be liable for processing a loan request if we believe the request is genuine. (Note: All loan requests must be submitted in good order to avoid a delay in processing your request.)

If your loan request is less than $500,000, then you may fax it to us at 1-727-299-1620.  If the loan amount you request exceeds $500,000 or if the address of record has been changed within the past 10 days, we may reject your request or require a signature guarantee.  We will not be responsible for any transmittal problems when you fax your request unless you report it to us within five business days and send us proof of your facsimile transmittal.
 
You can repay a loan at any time while the Policy is in force. Loan repayments must be sent to our mailing address and will be credited as of the date received. For each payment made, you must specify that your payment is a loan payment or we will assume that it is a premium payment.  For each payment made before the insured’s Age 121, you must specify the account option(s) to which the loan repayment will be applied.  If you do not specify the account option(s), the loan repayment will be applied in accordance with your most recent premium allocation instructions.
 
At each Policy Anniversary, we will compare the loan balance to the amount in the loan reserve. At each such time, if the loan balance exceeds the amount in the loan reserve, we will withdraw the difference from the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account and transfer it to the loan reserve, in the same manner as when a loan is made. If the amount in the loan reserve exceeds the amount of the loan balance, we will withdraw the difference from the loan reserve and transfer it to the account options in the same manner as current premiums are allocated. No charge will be imposed for these transfers, and these transfers are not treated as transfers in calculating the transfer charge. We reserve the right to require a transfer to the Basic Interest Account if the loans were originally transferred from the Basic Interest Account.
 
Loan Interest Spread
 
The Loan Interest Spread is the difference between the amount of interest we charge you for a loan and the amount of interest we credit to your loan reserve.  We currently charge you an effective annual interest rate on a policy loan of 2.75% (3.0% maximum guaranteed) on each Policy Anniversary. We may apply different loan interest rates to different parts of the loan.  We will also credit the amount in the loan reserve with an effective annual interest rate of 2.0%. After offsetting the 2.0% interest we credit, the net cost of loans currently is 0.75% annually (1.0% maximum guaranteed). After the 10th Policy Year, we will apply preferred loan charged rates on an amount equal to the Policy Value minus total premiums paid (less any cash withdrawals) and minus any loan balance. The current preferred loan effective annual interest rate charged is 2.00% and is guaranteed not to exceed 2.25%. On and after the insured’s Age 121, all loans, new and existing, are considered preferred loans.

Effect of Policy Loans
 
A policy loan reduces the death benefit and cash surrender value by the amount of any loan balance. Repaying the loan causes the death benefit and cash surrender value to increase by the amount of the repayment. As long as a loan is outstanding, we hold an amount in the loan reserve equal to the amount of the loan as of the last Policy Anniversary plus any accrued interest minus any loan payments. This amount is not affected by the Separate Account’s investment performance and may not be credited with the interest rates accruing on the portion of Policy Value in the Basic Interest Account. Amounts transferred from the Separate Account to the loan reserve will reduce the value in the Separate Account and we will credit such amounts with an interest rate of 2.0% rather than a rate of return reflecting the investment results of the Separate Account.
 
At the death of the insured, any loan balance is subtracted from the death benefit before recalculating the Income Protection Option lump sum(s) and monthly benefit.
 
If you elect the Long Term Care Rider, before we make a payment, we will first apply any benefit amount to any unpaid monthly deductions, and then to any interest due on any policy loans to the extent such interest due exceeds the Policy’s cash surrender value. If there are policy loans at the time the LTC Rider maximum amount is reached, you must pay the interest due on any policy loan as it becomes due, otherwise the Policy may terminate.
 
We also currently charge interest on policy loans at an effective annual rate of 2.75%. Because interest is added to the amount of the policy loan to be repaid, the size of the loan will constantly increase unless the policy loan is repaid.
 
There are risks involved in taking a policy loan, including the potential for a policy to lapse if projected earnings, taking into account loan balances, are not achieved. A policy loan may also have possible adverse tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before taking out a policy loan.
 
We will notify you (and any assignee of record) if a loan causes your cash surrender value to reach zero. If you do not submit a sufficient payment within 61 days from the date of the notice, your Policy may lapse.
 
Policy Lapse and Reinstatement                                                                                                                                                     
 
Lapse
 
Your Policy may not necessarily lapse (terminate without value) if you fail to make a planned periodic payment. However, even if you make all your planned periodic payments, there is a possibility that your Policy will lose value and lapse. The Policy provides a no lapse guarantee as described below. Once the no lapse period ends, or if the no lapse guarantee is not in effect, your Policy may lapse if the cash surrender value on any Monthly Policy Date is less than the monthly deductions due on that day (prior to the insured’s Age 121; beginning at the insured’s Age 121, your Policy may lapse if the cash surrender value reaches zero because of loan interest that is due and payable). Such lapse might occur if unfavorable investment experience, loans, accrued loan interest, and cash withdrawals cause a decrease in the cash surrender value, or if you have not paid sufficient premiums (as discussed below) to offset the cost of monthly deductions.
 
If the cash surrender value is not enough to pay the monthly deductions, then we will mail a notice to your last known address (according to our records) and any assignee of record. The notice will specify the minimum payment you must pay and the final date by which we must receive the payment to prevent a lapse. We generally require that you make the payment within 61 days after the date of the notice. This 61-day period is called the grace period. We pay the death benefit if an insured dies during the grace period. If we do not receive the specified minimum payment by the end of the grace period, then all coverage under the Policy will terminate without value. If there is any cash surrender value remaining, we will refund it to you at the end of the grace period.

Note: If you have a Long Term Care Rider, the grace period for the rider is 65 days. If any amount due is not paid within 30 days from the date that it was due, we will send a notice to you, the insured and the person or persons designated by you to receive such notice at the addresses provided to us. Notice will be given by first class United States mail, postage prepaid. You will have an additional 35 days to pay the amounts due after we have mailed the notice. During the grace period the rider will stay in effect.
 
Your Policy is a flexible premium policy that is subject to certain monthly deductions that are dependent upon, among other factors, the characteristics of the insureds, riders associated with your Policy, and your Policy’s face amount.  If your Policy does lapse and you choose to reinstate it, you will be required to make additional payments.  The payments needed to reinstate the Policy will depend on whether the no lapse ending date has passed.  Please refer to the section below entitled “Reinstatement” for a description of the payments that may be required to reinstate your Policy.

No Lapse Guarantee
 
As noted above, the Policy provides a no lapse guarantee during the no lapse period. As long as you keep the no lapse guarantee in effect, your Policy will not lapse and no grace period will begin. Even if your cash surrender value is not enough to pay your monthly deductions, the Policy will not lapse as long as the no lapse guarantee is in effect. The no lapse guarantee will not extend beyond the no lapse ending date stated in your Policy Data.  Each month we determine whether the no lapse guarantee is still in effect. If the no lapse guarantee is not in effect and the Policy is still in force, it can be restored by paying sufficient minimum monthly no lapse premiums at any time before the no lapse ending date.
 
No lapse ending date:
For a Policy issued to any insured ages 0-60, the no lapse ending date is determined by either the number of years to insured’s Age 65 or the 20th Policy anniversary, whichever is earlier.
 
For a Policy issued to an insured ages 61-85, the no lapse ending date is the 5th Policy Anniversary.
 
The no lapse ending date is specified in your Policy Data.
Keeping the no lapse guarantee in effect:
The no lapse guarantee will not be effective if you do not pay sufficient minimum monthly no lapse premiums.
 
You must pay total premiums (minus cash withdrawals and any loan balance) that equal at least the sum of the minimum monthly no lapse premiums in effect for each month from the Policy Date up to and including the current month.
     
Effect of changes on minimum monthly no lapse premium:
We will recalculate the amount of the minimum monthly no lapse premium if, during the no lapse period, you change death benefit options, increase or decrease the face amount, or if supplemental benefits (riders) are added, terminated, reduced or increased.
 
·
Depending upon the change made to the Policy or rider and the resulting impact on the level of the minimum monthly no lapse premium, you may need to pay additional premiums to keep the Policy in force. We will not extend the length of the no lapse period.
You will lessen the risk of policy lapse if you keep the no lapse guarantee in effect. Before you take a cash withdrawal or a loan, or decrease the face amount, or add, increase or decrease a rider, you should consider carefully the effect it will have on the no lapse guarantee.

If you have a Long Term Care Rider, while the rider benefits are being paid, the Policy will not lapse due to the Policy’s cash surrender value not being sufficient to pay the monthly deduction due.

Note:  In case of lapse and reinstatement, the no lapse period will not be extended by the number of months that the Policy was lapsed.
 
See “Minimum Monthly No Lapse Premium” above for a discussion of how the minimum monthly no lapse premium is calculated and can change.


Reinstatement
 
We may reinstate a lapsed policy within three years after the lapse. You may not reinstate the policy if it has been surrendered for its cash surrender value.  Any reinstatement must be made during the lifetime of the insured.  Before we reinstate the policy, we will require all of the following:
 
 
Submit a written application for reinstatement to our mailing address or fax your request to our administrative office at 1-727-299-1620.
·  
Submit the insured’s written consent to reinstatement.
·  
Evidence of insurability satisfactory to us that the insured continues to qualify for the same class of risk and any substandard rating upon which we based the issuance of the policy.
·  
Payment of the following:

a. Prior to the no lapse ending date, the lesser of: (i) the total minimum monthly no lapse premiums from the Policy Date through the Policy Month of lapse; plus two Policy Months of minimum monthly no lapse premiums; minus any premiums already paid net of any withdrawals and loan balance; or (ii) an amount sufficient to provide a net premium equal to any monthly deductions due at the time of termination; plus two monthly deductions due in advance at the time of reinstatement; plus an amount sufficient to increase the Policy Value above the surrender charge.
b. After the no lapse ending date: an amount sufficient to provide a net premium equal to any monthly deductions due at the time of termination; plus two monthly deductions due in advance at the time of reinstatement; plus an amount sufficient to increase the Policy Value above the surrender charge that would apply at the time of reinstatement.

The date of reinstatement will be the Monthly Policy Date on or following the date the application for reinstatement is approved by us, so long as the insured is still living. If all the conditions for reinstatement are satisfied, the Policy will be placed in force again on the following basis:

 
The surrender charge applicable at reinstatement will be equal to what it was at lapse, and the surrender charge period will be extended by the length of time between lapse and reinstatement.
·  
The cost of insurance rates will be based on the insured’s Age at reinstatement, determined as of the last Policy Anniversary.
·  
The duration of the Monthly Expense Charge per thousand will be extended by the length of time between lapse and reinstatement.
·  
Any loan balance as of the date of termination will not be reinstated.
·  
Amounts paid at the time of reinstatement will be applied as new premiums in accordance with your most recent premium allocation instructions.
·  
The no lapse guarantee will be available if the Policy is reinstated before the no lapse ending date.  The no lapse ending date will not be extended by the length of time between lapse and reinstatement.
·  
Any riders may be reinstated subject to their terms.

The Policy Value of the loan reserve on the reinstatement date will be zero. The Policy Value of the reinstated Policy will be equal to the Policy Value at the time of lapse; minus any outstanding loan balance as of that date; plus the net premium you pay at reinstatement; minus any monthly deductions due at the time of lapse; minus one monthly deduction as of the date of reinstatement.

 
Federal Income Tax Considerations                                                                                                                                                                
 
The following summarizes some of the basic federal income tax considerations associated with a policy and does not purport to be complete or to cover all situations. This discussion is not intended as tax advice. Please consult counsel or other qualified tax advisors for more complete information. We base this discussion on our understanding of the present federal income tax laws as they are currently interpreted by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Federal income tax laws and the current interpretations by the IRS may change.
 
Tax Status of the Policy
 
A policy must satisfy certain requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) in order to qualify as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes and to receive the tax treatment normally accorded life insurance policies under federal tax law. Guidance as to how these requirements are to be applied is limited. Nevertheless, we believe that the Policy should generally satisfy the applicable Code requirements.
 
 In certain circumstances, owners of variable life insurance policies have been considered for federal income tax purposes to be the owners of the assets of the Separate Account supporting their policies due to their ability to exercise investment control over those assets. Where this is the case, the policyowners have been currently taxed on income and gains attributable to the Separate Account assets. There is little guidance in this area, and some features of the policies, such as your flexibility to allocate premiums and Policy Values, have not been explicitly addressed in published rulings. We believe that the Policy does not give you investment control over Separate Account assets.
 
 In addition, the Code requires that the investments of the Separate Account be “adequately diversified” in order to treat the Policy as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes. We intend that the Separate Account, through the funds, will satisfy these diversification requirements.
 

The following discussion assumes that the Policy will qualify as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes.

Tax Treatment of Policy Benefits
 
In General. We believe that the Policy described in this prospectus is a life insurance policy under Code Section 7702. Section 7702 defines a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes and places limits on the relationship of the Policy Value to the death benefit. As life insurance policies, the death benefits of the policies are generally excludable from the gross income of the beneficiaries. In the absence of any guidance from the IRS on the issue, we believe that providing an amount at risk after Age 99 in the manner provided should be sufficient to maintain the excludability of the death benefit after Age 99. Lack of specific IRS guidance, however, makes the tax treatment of the death benefit after Age 99 uncertain. Also, any increase in Policy Value should generally not be taxable until received by you or your designee. However, if your Policy is a modified endowment contract as defined in Code Section 7702A you may be taxed to the extent of gain in the Policy when you take a policy loan, pledge or assign the Policy. Federal, state and local transfer, estate and other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of Policy proceeds depend on your circumstances and the beneficiary’s circumstances. A tax advisor should be consulted on these consequences.
 
Generally, you will not be deemed to be in constructive receipt of the Policy Value until there is a distribution. When distributions from a policy occur, or when loans are taken out from or secured by a policy (e.g., by assignment), the tax consequences depend on whether the policy is classified as a MEC. Moreover, if a loan from a policy that is not a MEC is outstanding when the policy is surrendered or lapses, the amount of outstanding indebtedness will be considered an amount distributed and will be taxed accordingly.
 
Modified Endowment Contracts. Under the Code, certain life insurance policies are classified as MECs and receive less favorable tax treatment than other life insurance policies. The rules are too complex to summarize here, but generally depend on the amount of premiums paid during the first seven Policy Years or in the seven Policy Years following certain changes in the policy. Certain changes in the Policy after it is issued could also cause the Policy to be classified as a MEC. Among other things, a reduction in benefits could cause a policy to become a MEC.  Due to the Policy’s flexibility, each policy’s circumstances will determine whether the policy is classified as a MEC. If you do not want your Policy to be classified as a MEC, you should consult a tax advisor to determine the circumstances, if any, under which your policy would or would not be classified as a MEC.

Upon issue of your Policy, we will notify you as to whether or not your Policy is classified as a MEC based on the initial premium we receive. If your Policy is not a MEC at issue, then you will also be notified of the maximum amount of additional premiums you can pay without causing your Policy to be classified as a MEC. If a payment would cause your Policy to become a MEC, you and your registered representative will be notified. At that time, you will need to notify us if you want to continue your Policy as a MEC. Unless you notify us that you do want to continue your Policy as a MEC, we will refund the dollar amount of the excess premium that would cause the Policy to become a MEC.
 
Distributions (other than Death Benefits) from MECs. Policies classified as MECs are subject to the following tax rules:
 

 
All distributions other than death benefits from a MEC, including distributions upon surrender and cash withdrawals, will be treated first as distributions of gain taxable as ordinary income. They will be treated as tax-free recovery of the owner’s investment in the Policy only after all gain has been distributed. Your investment in the Policy is generally your total premium payments. When a distribution is taken from the Policy, your investment in the Policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax-free.
 
Loans taken from or secured by (e.g., by assignment) or pledges of such a policy and increases in Policy Value secured by such loan or pledge are treated as distributions and taxed accordingly. If the policy is part of a collateral assignment split dollar arrangement, the initial assignment as well as increases in Policy Value during the assignment may be treated as distributions and considered taxable.
 
A 10% additional federal income tax is imposed on the amount included in income except where the distribution or loan is made when you are age 59 ½ or are disabled, or where the distribution is part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments for your life (or life expectancy) or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of you and the beneficiary.
 
If a policy becomes a MEC, distributions that occur during the Policy Year will be taxed as distributions from a MEC. In addition, the IRS has the authority, but has not yet done so, to issue regulations providing that distributions from a policy that are made within two years before the policy becomes a MEC will also be taxed in this manner.
 
Distributions (other than Death Benefits) from Policies that are not MECs. Distributions from a policy that is not a MEC are generally treated first as a recovery of your investment in the Policy, and as taxable income after the recovery of all investment in the Policy. However, certain distributions which must be made in order to enable the Policy to continue to qualify as a life insurance policy for federal income tax purposes if policy benefits are reduced during the first 15 Policy Years may be treated in whole or in part as ordinary income subject to tax. Distributions from or loans from or secured by a policy that is not a MEC are not subject to the 10% additional tax applicable to MECs.
 
Policy Loans. Loans from or secured by a policy that is not a MEC are generally not treated as distributions. Instead, such loans are treated as indebtedness. If a loan from a policy that is not a MEC is outstanding when the policy is surrendered or lapses, the amount of the outstanding indebtedness will be taxed as if it were a distribution at that time. The tax consequences associated with policy loans outstanding after the first 10 Policy Years with preferred loan rates are less clear and a tax advisor should be consulted about such loans.
 
Deductibility of Policy Loan Interest. In general, interest you pay on a loan from a policy will not be deductible. Before taking out a policy loan, you should consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences.
 
Investment in the Policy. Your investment in the Policy is generally the sum of the premium payments you made. When a distribution from the policy occurs, your investment in the policy is reduced by the amount of the distribution that is tax-free.
 
Withholding. To the extent that policy distributions are taxable, they are generally subject to withholding for the recipient’s federal income tax liability. The federal income tax withholding rate is generally 10% of the taxable amount of the distribution. Withholding applies only if the taxable amounts of all distributions are at least $200 during a taxable year. With the exception of amounts that represent eligible rollover distributions from Pension Plans and 403(b) arrangements, which are subject to mandatory withholding of 20% for federal tax, recipients can generally elect not to have tax withheld from distributions. If the taxable distributions are delivered to foreign countries, U.S. persons may not elect out of withholding. Taxable distributions to non-resident aliens are generally subject to withholding at a 30% rate unless withholding is eliminated under an international treaty with the United States. The payment of death benefits is generally not subject to withholding.
 
Business Uses of the Policy. The Policy may be used in various arrangements, including nonqualified deferred compensation or salary continuance plans, split dollar insurance plans, executive bonus plans, retiree medical benefit plans and others. The tax consequences of such plans and business uses of the policy may vary depending on the particular facts and circumstances of each individual arrangement and business uses of the policy. Therefore, if you are contemplating using the policy in any such arrangement, you should be sure to consult a tax advisor as to tax attributes of the arrangement and in its use of life insurance. In recent years, moreover, Congress and the IRS have adopted new rules relating to nonqualified deferred compensation and to life insurance owned by businesses and life insurance used in split-dollar arrangements. The IRS has recently issued new guidance regarding concerns in the use of life insurance in employee welfare benefit plans, including, but not limited to, the deduction of employer contributions and the status of such plans as listed transactions. Any business contemplating the purchase of a new policy or a change in an existing policy should consult a tax advisor. Recent legislation under Section 101(j) of the Internal Revenue Code has imposed notice, consent and other provisions on policies owned by employers and certain of their affiliates, owners and employees in order to receive death benefits tax-free and inserted additional tax reporting requirements.
 
Alternative Minimum Tax. There also may be an indirect tax upon the income in the Policy or the proceeds of a policy under the federal corporate alternative minimum tax, if the policyowner is subject to that tax.
 
Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement. We believe that the benefit payment we make under this rider should be fully excludible from the gross income of the beneficiary, except in certain business contexts. You should consult a tax advisor about the consequences of adding this rider to your Policy, or requesting a benefit payment.
 
Long Term Care Rider.  We believe that the benefit amounts received from the LTC Rider are considered tax-free up to the greater of (1) the per diem amount, subject to change annually; or (2) the actual amount of qualified long term care expenses paid by the insured.  The policyowner may elect a reduced monthly benefit amount based on the per diem limits.
 
Continuation of Policy Beyond Age 100. The tax consequences of continuing the Policy beyond the insured’s Age 100 are unclear and may include taxation of the gain in the Policy or the taxation of the death benefit in whole or in part. You should consult a tax advisor if you intend to keep the Policy in force beyond the insured’s Age 100.

Other Tax Considerations. The transfer of the Policy or designation of a beneficiary may have federal, state, and/or local transfer and inheritance tax consequences, including the imposition of gift, estate, and generation-skipping transfer taxes. The individual situation of each owner or beneficiary will determine the extent, if any, to which federal, state, and local transfer and inheritance taxes may be imposed and how ownership or receipt of policy proceeds will be treated for purposes of federal, state and local estate, inheritance, generation-skipping and other taxes. Special Rules for Pension Plans and Section 403(b) Arrangements. If the Policy is purchased in connection with a section 401(a) qualified pension or profit sharing plan, including a section 401(k) plan, or in connection with a section 403(b) plan or program, federal and state income and estate tax consequences could differ from those stated in this prospectus. The purchase may also affect the qualified status of the plan. You should consult a qualified tax advisor in connection with such purchase.  Policies owned under these types of plans may be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, or ERISA, which may impose additional requirements on the purchase of policies by such plans. You should consult a qualified advisor regarding ERISA.

Please Note: In 2001, Congress enacted the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001 (“EGTRRA”), which modified the estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes through 2009 and eliminated the estate tax (but not the gift tax) and replaced it with a carryover basis income tax regime for estates of decedents dying in 2010, and also eliminated the generation-skipping transfer tax for transfers made in 2010.  Recent legislation has generally extended the EGGTRA provisions existing in 2009 and reunified the estate and gift transfer taxes for 2011 and 2012.  The uncertainty as to future estate, gift and generation-skipping transfer taxes underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a qualified advisor to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

Settlement Options
 

During the insured’s lifetime, you may request that we pay the death benefit under one of the following settlement options.  We will also use any other method of payment that is agreeable to you and us.  After the insured’s death, a beneficiary may elect to receive such beneficiary’s share of the death benefit under a settlement option.  However, you may provide that the beneficiary will not be permitted to change the settlement option you have selected.  If a settlement option is requested, we will prepare an agreement to be signed which will state the terms and conditions under which the payments will be made.  This agreement will include a statement regarding the withdrawal value, if any, and to whom any remaining proceeds will be paid following the death of the person receiving the payments.
 
The following settlement options are available:

·  
Annuity - We will use the benefit as a single premium to buy an annuity.  The annuity may be payable to one or two payees.  It may be payable for a guaranteed period, or for life with or without a guaranteed period as long as we agree to it.  The annuity payment will not be less than what our newly issued immediate annuity contracts with the same features are then paying.
·  
Benefit Deposited with Interest - We will hold the benefit on deposit with us and it will earn interest.  Such interest will be at a rate declared by us from time to time, but not less than an annual interest rate of 1%, and may differ from the rate we pay under other options.  We will pay the earned interest monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually, as requested.  The payee may withdraw part or all of the benefit and earned interest at any time.
·  
Note:  The Income Protection Option is also a settlement option available to you.  Please see the section entitled “Income Protection Option” for information regarding this option.
 
Conditions

Settlements of less than $10,000 will be paid in a lump sum and may not be applied under any settlement option.  We may change the payment frequency if payments under an option become less than $100.

A corporation may receive payments under a life income option only if the payments are based on the life of the surviving spouse or child of the insured.

To the extent permitted by law:

1.  
No payment of the death benefit or interest we make will be subject to the claims of any creditor; and
2.  
If you provide that the option selected cannot be changed after the insured’s death, the payments will not be subject to the debts or contracts of the person receiving the payments.
 
Payments We Make
 
We usually pay the amounts of any surrender, cash withdrawal, death benefit, or settlement options within seven calendar days after we receive all applicable written notices and/or due proofs of death (in good order) at our mailing address. However, we can postpone such payments if any of the following occurs:
 

 
The NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closing, or trading on the NYSE is restricted as determined by the SEC.
 
The SEC permits, by an order, the postponement for the protection of policyowners.
 
The SEC determines that an emergency exists that would make the disposal of securities held in the Separate Account or the determination of their value not reasonably practicable.
·  
When mandated under applicable law.

In addition, pursuant to SEC rules, if the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP fund suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of such fund, then we will delay payment of any transfer, cash withdrawal, surrender, loan, or death benefit from the Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP subaccount until the fund is liquidated.
 
If you have submitted a recent check or draft, we have the right to defer payment of surrenders, cash withdrawals, death benefit, or payments under a settlement option until such check or draft has been honored. We also reserve the right to defer payment of transfers, cash withdrawals, death benefit, or surrenders from the Basic Interest Account for up to six months.
 
If mandated under applicable law, we may be required to reject a premium payment and/or block a policyowner’s account and thereby refuse to pay any request for transfers, withdrawals, surrenders, loans or death benefits until instructions are received from the appropriate regulators. We may also be required to provide additional information about you or your account to governmental regulators.
 
Split Dollar Arrangements
 
You may enter into a split dollar arrangement with another owner or another person(s) whereby the payment of premiums and the right to receive the benefits under the Policy (i.e., cash surrender value of insurance proceeds) are split between the parties. There are different ways of allocating these rights.
 
For example, an employer and employee might agree that under a policy on the life of the employee, the employer will pay the premiums and will have the right to receive the cash surrender value. The employee may designate the beneficiary to receive any insurance proceeds in excess of the cash surrender value. If the employee dies while such an arrangement is in effect, the employer would receive from the insurance proceeds the amount that he would have been entitled to receive upon surrender of the Policy and the employee’s beneficiary would receive the balance of the proceeds.
 
No transfer of policy rights pursuant to a split dollar arrangement will be binding on us unless in writing and received by us at our mailing address. Split dollar arrangements may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before entering into a split dollar arrangement.
 
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) was enacted in 2002. The Act prohibits, with limited exceptions, publicly-traded companies, including non-U.S. companies that have securities listed on exchanges in the United States, from extending, directly or through a subsidiary, many types of personal loans to their directors or executive officers. It is possible that this prohibition may be interpreted as applying to split-dollar life insurance policies for directors and executive officers of such companies, since such insurance arguably can be viewed as involving a loan from the employer for at least some purposes.
 
Although the prohibition on loans of publicly-traded companies was generally effective as of July 30, 2002, there is an exception for loans outstanding as of the date of enactment, as long as there is no material modification to the loan terms and the loan is not renewed after July 30, 2002. Any affected business contemplating the payment of a premium on an existing policy, or the purchase of a new policy, in connection with a split-dollar life insurance arrangement should consult legal counsel.
 
In addition, the IRS issued guidance that affects the tax treatment of split-dollar arrangements and the Treasury Department issued final regulations that would significantly affect the tax treatment of such arrangements. The IRS guidance and the final regulations affect all split dollar arrangements, not just those involving publicly traded companies. Consult your qualified tax advisor with respect to the effect of this current and proposed guidance on your split dollar policy.
 
Policy Termination
 
Your Policy will terminate and all benefits under it will cease on the earliest of the following:
 
 
The date the policy lapses.
·  
The date we receive your written request to surrender or terminate; or
·  
The date of the insured’s death.

Assignment of the Policy
 
You may assign your Policy by filing a written request with us. We will not be bound by any assignment until we record it in our records.  Unless otherwise specified by you, the assignment will then take effect on the date the assignment is signed by you, subject to any payments made or actions taken by us prior to our recording of the assignment.  We assume no responsibility for the validity or effect of any assignment of the policy or of any interest in it.  Any death benefit which becomes payable to an assignee will be payable in a single sum and will be subject to proof of the assignee’s interest and the extent of the assignment.
 
Supplemental Benefits (Riders)                                                                                                                                                                
 
The following supplemental benefits (riders) are available and may be added to your Policy. Monthly charges for these riders are deducted from the Policy Value as part of the monthly deductions. The riders available with the policies do not build Policy Value and provide benefits that do not vary with the investment experience of the Separate Account. For purposes of the riders, the insured is the person insured under the Policy. Adding these supplemental benefits to an existing Policy, or canceling them, may have tax consequences; you should consult a tax advisor before doing so.
 
Note: Our deduction of a monthly charge for any period after the date of termination of any rider shall not create liability for us under that rider, nor will it constitute a waiver of the termination of the rider. Any monthly charge for a rider deducted following its termination will be retroactively refunded by crediting by the amount of the charge to the Policy Value.

Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement
 
This rider allows us to pay a portion of the death benefit once we receive proof, in good order, at our mailing address that the insured is ill and has a life expectancy of one year or less. A doctor must certify the insured’s life expectancy.  (Note: If an accelerated death benefit is paid, the Policy’s benefits and values, as well as any benefits and values provided by affected riders, will be reduced.)
 
Eligibility:
 
To receive an accelerated death benefit, the insured must meet the following conditions:

·  
You must submit written certification by a physician that confirms that the insured is terminally ill with your Accelerated Death Benefit request. The certification must be made within 30 days of the Accelerated Death Benefit Request; and
·  
We must receive the consent of all irrevocable beneficiaries (if any) and all assignees (if any) in a form acceptable to us.

Note: Terminally ill means that the insured has a medical condition, resulting from bodily injury or disease, or both, which is expected to result in the death of the insured within 12 months of diagnosis.

The condition:

·  
Must be first diagnosed by a physician on or after the later of the date of issue of the Policy or the endorsement date; and
·  
Must be demonstrated by clinical, radiological, laboratory or other evidence of the medical condition which is satisfactory to us; and
·  
Must not be curable by any means available to the medical profession.
 
Accelerated Death Benefit Amount:
 
The minimum available death benefit you may accelerate because the insured is terminally ill is $10,000 and the maximum you may accelerate is equal to the lesser of:
 
1.  
 75% of the available death benefit as of the first accelerated death benefit payment; or
 
2.  
$500,000, including all other accelerated death benefits previously elected or currently under review under all policies, endorsements or riders issued by us or our affiliates on the life of the insured.
 
Available death benefit means the amount payable under the Base Policy and Base Insured Rider upon the death of the insured, including:
 
·  
In the case of a single life policy, the benefit payable under a Base Insured Rider, if any, provided the rider is more than two years from its expiry date; or
 
·  
In the case of a joint last survivor policy, the benefit payable under a Joint Insured Term Rider, if any, provided the rider is more than two years from its expiry date.
 
Available death benefit does not include amounts payable under any other riders not expressly named, including, but not limited to, any Accidental Death Benefit Rider, Additional Insured Rider or Disability Waiver Rider.

 
The accelerated death benefit payment we make to you will be less than the amount of the available death benefit which you request to accelerate. The accelerated death benefit payment will be calculated as A – B – C – D where A, B, C, and D are determined as follows:

A.  
The present value of the amount of the available death benefit which you request to accelerate, which will be calculated as described below.
B.  
Any amount necessary to provide insurance to the date of the accelerated death benefit payment if we make the payment during a grace period.
C.  
The loan balance, if any, at the time the accelerated death benefit is paid, multiplied by the election percentage.
D.  
An administrative charge for each accelerated death benefit request. The administrative charge for each accelerated death benefit request as of January 1, 2012 is $350, but will be subject to future increases based on cumulative annual cost-of-living increases as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (“CPI”) since January 1, 2012. In the event that the CPI is no longer published, a substantially similar index will be used.

The present value of the Accelerated Death Benefit payment we make to you will be based on a discount which reflects the early payment of the Accelerated Death Benefit amount. We assume a 12-month period for this purpose. The annual interest rate we use will be a discount rate that is the greater of:

·  
The current yield on 90-day U.S. Treasury bills; or
·  
The policy loan interest rate.
 
We will not pay a benefit under the rider if the insured’s terminal condition results from self-inflicted injuries that occur during the period specified in your Policy’s suicide provision.
 

 
Example
 
For example, suppose before the owner elects the terminal illness benefit, a policy has a $400,000 death benefit and a $10,000 loan balance. Suppose that the current yield on 90-day Treasury bills is 6.00% and the policy loan interest rate is 2.75%. Because the greater of these is 6%, that is the interest rate that will be used to discount the benefit. Suppose the administrative charge for this endorsement is the 2012 value of $350.00. The owner elects to accelerate 50% of the death benefit, so the single sum benefit equals $183,329.25, which is ($400,000 multiplied by 0.50 divided by 1.06) - ($10,000 multiplied by 0.50) minus $350.00. After the acceleration, the remaining death benefit is $200,000, which is 50% of $400,000, and all policy values will be reduced by 50%.
 
Termination

This endorsement will terminate on the earliest of the following dates or events:

·  
The date the maximum accelerated death benefit has been accelerated, or the aggregate maximum accelerated death benefit of $500,000 under all policies, endorsements or riders has been reached; or
·  
The date the Policy terminates; or
·  
The effective date of a settlement option elected under the Policy; or
·  
The date you elect to terminate the endorsement; or
·  
The date of the insured’s death.

Reinstatement

If the Policy is reinstated, this endorsement may be reinstated at the same time; however, we will not pay any benefit for a terminal illness that is first diagnosed by a physician prior to the reinstatement date.
 
Effect of the Long Term Care Rider and the Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement

If your Policy also includes a Long Term Care Rider, the insured may qualify for benefits under both the Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement and the Long Term Care Rider.  Please see the section of this prospectus entitled “Effect of Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement on the LTC Rider” for a description of the effect of having both a Long Term Care Rider and the Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement.
 
Note:  Before adding this endorsement to an existing policy or requesting payment under the endorsement, you should consult a tax advisor to discuss the tax consequences of doing so. 

Base Insured Rider
 
Under the Base Insured Rider, we provide term insurance coverage on the insured on a different basis from the coverage in your Policy. (This rider is not available with the Long Term Care Rider.)
     
Features of the Base Insured Rider:
The rider increases the Policy’s death benefit by the rider’s face amount.
 
The rider may be purchased for insureds Ages 18-85.
 
The minimum purchase amount for the rider is $100,000. The maximum purchase amount is 10 times the face amount of the Policy.
 
We do not assess any additional surrender charge for the rider.
 
Generally the rider coverage costs less than the insurance under the Policy, but it has no Policy Value and terminates at age 100.
 
You may cancel or reduce your rider coverage without decreasing your Policy’s face amount.
 
You may generally decrease your Policy’s face amount without reducing your rider coverage.

 
     
Conditions to convert the rider:
Your request must be in writing, in good order, and sent to our mailing address.
 
The insured has not reached his/her 70th birthday.
 
The new policy is any permanent insurance policy that we currently offer for conversions.
 
We may allow an increase to the Policy’s face amount if the Base Policy and all of the riders in force allow such an increase.
 
The amount of the insurance under the new policy or the amount of the increase will equal the face amount in force under the rider as long as it meets the minimum face amount requirements of a Base Policy.
 
We will base your premium on the insured’s class of risk under the rider.
 

Termination of the rider:
The rider will terminate on the earliest of:
     
 
The Policy Anniversary at Age 100; or
 
The date the Policy terminates; or
 
The date you fully convert this rider; or
 
The Monthly Policy Date when the rider terminates upon the owner’s written request.
 
It may cost you more to keep a higher face amount under the Base Policy, because the face amount may have a cost of insurance and other charges that are higher than the cost of the same amount of coverage under your Base Insured Rider. Any changes to the coverage of this rider may affect your minimum monthly no lapse premium. Please refer to the applicable fee tables for your Policy to determine the charges for this rider. Note: If the Income Protection Option (“IPO”) is selected and the Base Insured Rider is reduced or dropped, the IPO amounts are changed.
 
You should consult your registered representative to determine if you would benefit from the Base Insured Rider. We may discontinue offering the Base Insured Rider at any time. We may also modify the terms of this rider for new policies.
 
Additional Insured Rider
 
This rider may insure the spouse and/or dependent children of the insured. Please note that if a non-spouse is the additional insured there may be adverse tax consequences. Subject to the terms of the rider, we will pay the face amount of the rider to the owner of, insured under, or the beneficiary(ies) of the Base Policy, as named in the application or in a subsequent written notice acceptable to us when we receive (at our mailing address) due proof, in good order, that the additional insured’s death occurred while this rider was in force. Our minimum face amount for this rider for Additional Insureds Ages 18-85 is $50,000. The maximum face amount is the lesser of $1,000,000 or the amount of coverage on the insured. The maximum number of Additional Insured Riders that is allowed on any one Policy is five (5). Please refer to the applicable fee tables for your Policy to determine the respective charges for this rider. Subject to the following conditions, on any Monthly Policy Date while the rider is in force, you may convert it to a new policy on the additional insured’s life (without evidence of insurability).
     
Conditions to convert the rider:
Your request must be in writing, in good order, and sent to our mailing address.
 
The additional insured has not reached his/her 70th birthday.
 
You may also convert within 45 days of the death of the insured if the death occurs before the additional insured’s 70th birthday.
 
The new policy is any permanent insurance policy that we currently offer for conversion.
 
Subject to the minimum face amount required for the new policy, the amount of the insurance under the new policy will equal the face amount in force under the rider as long as it meets the minimum face amount requirements of the original Policy.
 
We will base the premium for the new policy on the additional insured’s underwriting class of risk under the rider.
 
Each new policy will be effective on the date of conversion.
 
The initial premium for the new policy must be received within 31 days of receipt of the conversion application.  If the initial premium is not received within that period, the conversion application will be canceled and coverage under this rider will continue unless it has otherwise been terminated.
     
Termination of the rider:
The rider will terminate on the earliest of:
     
 
The death of the insured; or
 
The Policy Anniversary at the primary insured’s Age 121; or
 
The death of the last surviving additional insured; or
 
The next Monthly Policy Date following the date you request termination of this rider; or
 
The date the Policy lapses; or
 
The date the Policy is surrendered or continued under any nonforfeiture option; or
 
The date the Policy terminates.
 
Insurance on an additional insured will automatically terminate on the earlier of the Policy Anniversary at such additional insured’s Age 100 or when all coverage for that additional insured is converted.

 
Children’s Benefit Rider
 

This rider provides insurance on the insured’s children (or qualifying stepchildren) who are between the ages of 15 days and 18 years old on the effective date of the rider or when later added to the rider due to birth or legal adoption. (Note – This rider is not available with the Long Term Care Rider.)
 
 
Our minimum face amount for this rider is $1,000 and the maximum face amount is $99,000 (may be subject to underwriting). We will pay a death benefit once we receive proof in good order at our mailing address that the insured child died while the rider was in force for that child.


Rider Benefit

If a covered child dies while insured under this rider, we will pay the rider death benefit to the policyowner unless the policyowner requests that any proceeds be paid to a different beneficiary by: (1) naming the beneficiary in accordance with the “How to Change A Beneficiary” provision in the Policy; or (2) specifically stating that the beneficiary designation is applicable to insurance provided under this rider.

The amount of the rider death benefit is shown in the Policy Data.  If coverage is added or changed after the date of issue of the Policy, the rider death benefit will be the amount we confirm to you in writing. Payments are subject to the provisions of the Policy and this rider.

Any proceeds may be applied under the settlement provisions of the Policy.

Conversion

You may convert up to the rider coverage at any time while the rider is in force, or may convert up to the lesser of 5 times the rider coverage or $50,000 (even if this limit is less than the rider face amount) upon the following events:
 
·  
The covered child’s 25th birthday;
·  
The Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 65;
·  
The child’s marriage;
·  
The child’s baccalaureate or higher degree; or
·  
The insured’s death.
·  
 
If you request a face amount for the new policy that is in excess of the rider death benefit, your must send a written request to our mailing address for conversion. Payment of the required premium must be made to us before, or within 31 days after, the dates allowed for conversion, except that 90 days are allowed following the death of the Insured.

     
Conditions to convert the rider:
Your request must be in writing, in good order, and sent to our mailing address.
 
If this rider or insurance on a covered child has terminated and has not yet been converted, no insurance will be in effect under this rider or any new policy during the 31 day or 90 day period following the date allowed for conversion.
 
The face amount of each new policy may not be less than our published minimum for the plan selected.  There will always be a plan available in an amount to which you can convert.
 
Each new policy will be effective on the date of conversion.  The child will be the owner of the new policy unless the child is a minor as defined under the laws of the child’s state of residence at the time of the conversion request.  If the child is a minor at the time of the conversion request, you will be the owner of the new policy unless you request otherwise.  If you are not living at the time of conversion, the legal guardian of the child will be the owner.
 
The premiums for each new policy will be at our published rate for the plan selected and the child’s sex and date of birth.
 
Even if monthly charges for this rider are being waived under a rider attached to the Policy at the time of conversion, the premiums or monthly deductions under any new policy will not be waived.
 
The new policy will be dated as of the date of the conversion. Coverage under this rider will terminate when coverage under the new policy begins.
 
If coverage under this rider is converted in accordance with these conditions, no evidence of insurability will be required and the incontestability and suicide periods for the new policy will be measured from the later of the Rider Date or the date of any reinstatement of the new policy. However, if the face amount of the new policy exceeds the rider death benefit, the amount of the increase will be subject to a new suicide period.
Termination of the rider:
 
The rider will terminate on the earliest of the following dates or events:
     
 
The Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 65; or
 
The death of the insured; or
 
The next Monthly Policy Date following the date you request termination of this rider; or
 
The date the Policy lapses; or
 
The date the Policy is surrendered or continued under any nonforfeiture option; or
 
The date the Policy matures or terminates; or
 
The date the Policy is converted to another policy.

Insurance on a child covered under this rider will automatically terminate on the earliest of such child's 25th birthday or when all coverage for that covered child is converted.

Accidental Death Benefit Rider
 
Available to insureds Age 18-65, the minimum face amount for this rider is $2,000.  The maximum face amount available for the rider for face amounts below $200,000 is the lesser of: (i) $200,000 or (ii) 2½ the Policy's face amount.  For policies with a face amount of $200,000 and above, the maximum face amount available for this rider is the lesser of: (i) $300,000 or (ii) the face amount. (Note: This rider is not available with the Long Term Care Rider.)
 
Subject to certain limitations, we will pay the face amount if the death of the insured results solely from accidental bodily injury where:
 
 
The death is caused by external, violent, and accidental means.
 
The death occurs within 90 days of the accident.
 
The death occurs while the rider is in force.
 
The rider will terminate on the earliest of the following dates or events:
· The death of the insured;
· The Policy Anniversary at the Insured’s Age 70;
 
The next Monthly Policy Date following the date you make a written request to terminate this rider;
· The date the Policy lapses;
· The date the Policy is surrendered or continued under any nonforfeiture option; or
· The date the Policy terminates.
 
Disability Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider
 
Subject to certain conditions, we will waive the Policy’s monthly deductions while the insured is totally disabled. You may purchase this rider if the insured’s Age is between 18 and 55 years of age at the time the rider is purchased. This rider is not available together with the Disability Waiver of Premium Rider or the Long Term Care Rider.
 
Before we waive any monthly deductions, we must receive proof, in good order, at our mailing address that:
 
 
The insured is totally disabled;
 
The insured’s total disability began before the insured’s Age 65; and
 
The insured’s total disability has existed continuously for at least six months.
 
We will not waive any deduction that becomes due more than one year before we receive written notice of your claim, after the insured’s recovery from disability, or after termination of this rider. It is possible that additional premium payments will be required to keep the Policy in force while the waiver of monthly deductions benefit is being paid.
     
Termination of the rider:
The rider will terminate on the earliest of the following dates or events:
     
 
The insured’s Age 65, unless at that time we have been waiving monthly deductions continuously since before the insured’s Age 60; or
 
The death of the insured; or
 
The next Monthly Policy Date following the date you request termination of this rider; or
 
The date the Policy lapses; or
 
The date the Policy is surrendered or continued under any nonforfeiture option; or
 
The date the Policy terminates; or
 
The date the Policy is converted to another policy.

If the total disability begins before the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 60 and continues to the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 65, we will waive all further monthly deductions under the Policy.

Disability Waiver of Premium Rider

Subject to certain conditions, we will apply the waiver of premium benefit, as shown in the Policy Data, as if it is a premium payment into the Policy, while the insured is totally disabled, as defined in the rider. The waiver of premium benefit is generally equal to the annual planned premium for the Policy, but the maximum payment is the lesser of $12,000 or the maximum annual premium payable under the Guideline Premium Test. We will invest the resulting net premium in the subaccounts and the Basic Interest Account according to your allocation instructions.  You may purchase this rider if the insured’s Age is between 18 and 55 years of age. This rider is not available in combination with the Disability Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider or the Long Term Care Rider.

Benefit Period

The waiver of premium benefit will be credited during the continuance of the insured’s total disability, subject to the following:

·  
If the total disability begins before the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 60 and continues to the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 65, we will credit the waiver of premium benefit to the Policy until the earlier of the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 121 or the termination of the Policy.
·  
If the total disability begins after the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 60, we will not credit the waiver of premium benefit to the Policy after the Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 65.
·  
Separate periods of total disability will be considered as one continuous disability period unless such separate periods are:
·  
Due to unrelated causes; or
·  
Due to the same or related causes, but are separated by at least six months during which the Insured has returned to work on a continuous basis.
 
Upon meeting the requirements above, we will also make a retroactive payment equal to six months of benefits under the rider. We will apply the benefit each month on the Monthly Policy Date. We may not pay any benefit that becomes due more than one year before we receive written notice of your claim, after the insured’s recovery from disability, or after termination of this rider. It is possible that additional premium payments will be required to keep the Policy in force while the waiver of premium benefit is being paid.
     
Termination of the rider:
The rider will terminate on the earliest of:
     
 
The insured’s Age 65, unless at that time we have been crediting the Waiver of Premium benefit continuously since before the insured’s Age 60; or
 
The death of the insured; or
 
The insured’s Age 121; or
 
The next Monthly Policy Date following the date you request termination of this rider; or
 
The date the Policy is surrendered or continued under any nonforfeiture option; or
 
The date the Policy terminates; or
 
The date the Policy is converted to another policy.

Overloan Protection Rider

Your Policy will have an Overloan Protection Rider  if you elect the Guideline Premium Test, and your Policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (“MEC”).  Exercise of this rider will guarantee, as long as the rider is in effect, that the Policy will not lapse in certain circumstances described below.

There is no charge for this rider unless you exercise it.  Please see “Termination of the Rider” below for termination conditions of the rider before and after exercise.

The Rider at Exercise

Your election to exercise this rider will be effective when we receive your written request, in good order, at our mailing address.  To exercise this rider, each of the following conditions must be true as of the exercise effective date:
·  
The death benefit option is the Level option.
·  
The Policy must have been in force for at least 15 years.
·  
The insured’s Age cannot be younger than Age 75 or older than Age 120.
·  
There must be sufficient Policy Value to cover the rider exercise charge as described below.
·  
The loan balance is greater than the face amount, but less than 99.9% of the Policy Value after the charge for this rider has been deducted.
·  
The guideline premium limit for the Policy will remain greater than zero at all times before to the insured’s Age 100.
·  
The Policy must not be a Modified Endowment Contract, and exercising this rider must not cause the Policy to become a Modified Endowment Contract.
·  
There are no other riders in effect under the Policy after the exercise effective date.
·  
No further loans will be allowed, but loan interest will continue to accrue and the policyowner may continue to repay any interest or principal.
·  
The sum of all withdrawals taken from the Policy must not be less than the total premiums paid.
 
On the exercise date, we:
 

1.  
 Transfer all remaining Policy Value in the subaccounts to the Basic Interest Account.  No transfer charge will be assessed for such transfer, nor will it count against, or be subject to, any transfer limitations that may be in effect.
2.  
Do not allow any further policy transactions, including premium payments, withdrawals, surrenders, transfers, changes to the death benefit option, or increases or decreases to the face amount after you exercise this rider.
3.  
Deduct the charge for this rider from your Policy Value.

One-Time Charge. There is a one-time charge to exercise this rider.  The charge is equal to a percentage of the gross Policy Value, based on the insured’s Age at the time of exercise:

Age                               Charge
75-90                               5%
91                               4%
92                               3%
93                               2%
94-120                               1%

Example.  For insured age 94 with a Base Policy in force for 16 years:

·  
Face amount before rider election $100,000.
·

Termination of Rider

This rider will terminate on the earliest of the following events:
 
·  
The date the Policy terminates;
·  
The next Monthly Policy Date following the date the policyowner requests termination of this rider;
·  
The death of the insured;
·  
The date the Policy is surrendered or continued under any non-forfeiture option;
·  
The Policy Anniversary at the insured’s Age 121; or
·  
The date the Policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract under Section 7702A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended.

You should be aware that the tax consequences of this rider have not been ruled on by the IRS or the courts and it is possible that the IRS could assert that the loan balance should be treated as a taxable distribution when this rider is exercised.  You should consult a tax advisor as to the tax risks associated with this rider.

Income Protection Option

The Fixed Settlement Endorsement, also known as the Income Protection Option (“IPO”), provides a designated payment upon the death of the insured in the manner stated below instead of as set forth in the Policy.  This option provides for the payment of all or a portion of the Policy’s death benefit in installments following the death of the insured.  The amounts, frequency and duration of such installments as of the effective date of the endorsement are stated in the Policy Data.  Before the insured’s death, you may cancel this option or make policy changes that affect the amount of the designated payments, but the beneficiary(ies) may not alter the payment plan that you select.

Designated Payments

The designated payment is a payment or payments based on the total face amount (the sum of the face amount in force on the Base Policy and the Base Insured Rider) and are set forth in the Policy Data as:

1.  
An initial lump sum (“initial lump sum”); and/or
2.  
Monthly payments for a guaranteed period (“fixed monthly payment”); and/or
3.  
A final lump sum at the end of the guaranteed period (“final lump sum”).

Payout of Designated Payments

Upon the insured’s death, we will pay the designated payments as follows:

·  
If the Policy’s death benefit is greater than the total face amount, the excess will be paid as a lump sum in addition to any initial lump sum payment amount.
·  
If the death benefit is less than the total face amount, all designated payment amounts will be proportionately reduced.
·  
We will pay any initial lump sum when we determine that the Policy’s death benefit is payable.
·  
Fixed monthly payments will be paid retroactively to the date of the insured's death at the same time as the initial lump sum. Fixed monthly payments will continue thereafter for the remainder of the guaranteed period.
·  
The final lump sum will be paid at the end of the guaranteed period.

Interest Adjustment to Designated Payments

At the time of the insured’s death, we will adjust the amount of the fixed monthly payments to reflect our then-current interest rate for a fixed monthly settlement option of the same type and for the same duration as the guaranteed period if that current rate is greater than the guaranteed annual interest rate. The interest rate applicable to fixed monthly payments will thereafter remain fixed through the guaranteed period.

We will adjust the final lump sum payment to reflect our current interest rate for benefits deposited with interest if that current rate is greater than the guaranteed annual interest rate. Adjustments to reflect the current interest rate will be made at the death of the insured and during the guaranteed period, as the current rate for benefits deposited with interest may vary during that time. The interest rates used to determine the final lump sum will never be less than the guaranteed annual interest rate.

Total Face Amount

Total Face Amount means the sum of the face amount of the Base Policy plus the Base Insured Rider. Total face amount is initially determined as of the effective date of this endorsement. Total face amount is recalculated as of the date of any policy change or other transaction that increases or decreases the prior total face amount.
 
 
If the total face amount is reduced as a result of an accelerated death benefit rider claim payment, or due to any other change or transaction that results in a reduction of the total face amount upon which the designated payments were based, then each designated payment will be proportionately reduced.

Beneficiary

Beneficiary percentages and contingencies can be designated separately for the initial lump sum, the monthly payments, and the final lump sum.  Simple designations can be submitted with your policy application; for complex designations, please contact your registered representative or our administrative office at 1-800-852-9777.

If a beneficiary dies while receiving the designated payments, the present value of the remaining payment will be paid to that beneficiary’s estate.  If the beneficiary is an assignee or an estate, designated payments cannot be made and they will receive a single lump sum.

Termination of Endorsement

The endorsement will terminate only at the written request of the policyowner and prior to the death of the insured.  Termination of the rider will cause the Policy to revert to the Base Policy options for paying the death benefit.

Impact of IPO with Other Riders

If you elected any of the following riders under your Policy, the IPO will impact that rider as noted below:

Base Insured Rider
The Base Insured Rider death benefit is included with the base death benefit that will be paid as the IPO in a series of payments.  If the Base Insured Rider is reduced or dropped, the total face amount will be changed.
Accidental Death Benefit
If the rider death benefit increases the death benefit beyond the total face amount, then the excess would be paid as part of the initial lump sum.
Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement
Decreases in the face amount due to acceleration would decrease the total face amount and enter into the final determination of designated payments pro-rata after the death of the insured.
Long Term Care Rider
Indebtedness due to LTC acceleration would not decrease the IPO total face amount, but would decrease the death benefit payout that enters into the final determination of designated payments after the death of the insured.

The Additional Insured Rider and the Children’s Benefit Rider death benefits are not subject to the IPO and will be paid separately as a lump sum or under the designated settlement options.  The Disability Waiver of Premium Rider, Disability of Monthly Deductions Rider and Overloan Protection Rider do not contribute to the IPO benefit.
 
Long Term Care Rider

The Long Term Care Rider (“LTC” Rider), provides a monthly benefit to you while the insured is incurring qualifying long term care expenses.  In order for you to exercise this rider, the insured must be: (1) cognitively impaired or (2) unable to perform at least 2 of the following Activities of Daily Living (“ADL”) without substantial assistance for a period of at least 90 days due to a loss of functional capacity:
·  
Bathing;
·  
Continence;
·  
Dressing;
·  
Eating;
·  
Using the toilet facilities; or
·  
Transferring (moving into or out of bed, chair or wheelchair).

If an insured meets the eligibility requirements, coverage is provided for one or more necessary diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, rehabilitative, maintenance, or personal care services provided in a setting other than an acute care unit or of a hospital such as: (a) a long term care facility; (2) an adult day care center; (3) a hospice care facility; or (4) the home.  The rider provides coverage in the form of a fixed indemnity benefit for long term care expenses, subject to the rider limitations and elimination period requirements.

Benefits Provided by the Rider

Subject to the conditions, limitations and exclusions in the rider, the amount of the benefit payable for any Calendar Month is an amount equal to the lesser of A or B where:

 
A :
is 2% of Long Term Care Specified Amount, at commencement of benefits; and
 
B :
is the per diem amount allowed by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act times the number of days in the Calendar Month.

The per diem limit for 2012 is $310 per day ($9,300 for a 30 day month; $113,150 annually).  Monthly benefits based on a percentage of the LTC Rider specified amount will be prorated at the start and end of the benefit period based on the number of days that the insured is chronically ill and otherwise remains eligible for benefits.  Prorate means:

·  
We will divide the monthly long term care benefit by the actual number of days in the month; and
·  
We then multiply that number times the number of days during the month for which you are eligible to receive benefit payments.
You may request a monthly benefit amount less than the above maximum. Choosing a lesser amount could extend the period during which benefits may be payable.  You may change your election 30 days before the beginning of any calendar year.

Note:  Long Term Care rider benefits are an acceleration of the Policy’s death benefit and will reduce any proceeds payable at surrender of the Policy or upon the Insured’s death.

Death of Insured
 
Upon the death of the insured, the beneficiary will receive the Policy’s current death benefit at the time of death, less any loan balance, further reduced by the dollar amount that has been paid in LTC Rider benefits.
 
Eligibility
 
Long Term Care benefits may be payable under the rider if the insured is a chronically ill Individual (or has severe cognitive impairment); and (1) has satisfied the 90-day elimination period; (2) has received qualified long term care services covered under the rider and such services are specified in a Plan of Care; and (3) a current Plan of Care and written proof of loss have been approved by us.

Elimination Period

 The rider has an elimination period of 90 days.  This means that we will not pay benefits under the rider for any period before the insured has incurred expenses, on each of 90 separate days during which the rider is in effect, for Qualified Long Term Care Services that would otherwise be covered under the rider. These days of care or services need not be continuous. The elimination period has to be satisfied only once while the rider is in effect. You must provide us with proof of loss in order to satisfy the elimination period.

We will give the insured credit toward the elimination period for days of confinement, care or services covered under the rider, even if they are paid or payable by Medicare. Note: The Long Term Care Rider is not Medicare supplement coverage.  If you are eligible for Medicare, please review the Medicare Supplement Buyer’s Guide – “Guide to Health Insurance for People with Medicare” available from the Company. Note: Transamerica Financial Life and its agents do not represent Medicare, the federal government or any state government.

Care or services received during confinement in a hospital or rehabilitation hospital/facility cannot be used to satisfy the elimination period, even if they are paid or payable by Medicare.

Chronically Ill

An individual is deemed to be chronically ill if the individual has been certified by a licensed health care practitioner as being unable to perform, without substantial assistance from another individual, at least two out of the six ADLs for an expected period of at least 90 days due to a loss of functional capacity; or requiring substantial supervision to protect the Insured from threats to health and safety due to Severe Cognitive Impairment (as described below).

A licensed health care practitioner is a physician, a registered nurse professional, licensed social worker or other individual who meets such requirements as determined under regulation that may be prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Severe Cognitive Impairment

An individual is deemed to have severe cognitive impairment (also, severely cognitively impaired) if he or she suffers a severe loss or deterioration in intellectual capacity that is measured by clinical evidence and standardized tests as part of an evaluation that reliably measures impairment in the insured’s:

·  
short-term or long-term memory;
·  
orientation as to people, places or time;
·  
deductive or abstract reasoning; and
·  
judgment as it relates to safety awareness.

The evaluation must include utilizing cognitive tests with resulting scores consistent with a diagnosis of Severe Cognitive Impairment.

General Exclusions and Limitations

Qualified long term care services do not include care, confinement or services:

·  
Resulting from alcoholism, or drug addiction or chemical dependency unless as a result of medication used as prescribed by a physician.
·  
Resulting from or arising out of attempted suicide or intentionally self-inflicted injury.
·  
Due to participation in a felony, riot or insurrection.
·  
For which no charge is normally made in the absence of insurance;
·  
Received outside the 50 United States and the District of Columbia, or Canada; and
·  
Performed by a member of your immediate family or the insured’s immediate family. A member of your immediate family or the insured’s immediate family can provide covered care or services if he or she is a regular employee of an organization that is engaged in providing the qualified long term care services. The organization he or she works for must receive the payment for the care or service. Your immediate family or the insured’s immediate family member must receive no compensation other than the normal compensation for employees in his or her job category.
 
Note: Immediate family refers to one of the following members of the Insured’s or owner’s family: spouse (including common law spouse) or civil union partner and anyone who is related to the individual or his or her spouse or civil union partner (including adopted, in-law and step-relatives). This includes a parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, first cousin, nephew or niece.
 
 
Non-Duplication of Benefits

Qualified long term care services do not include care, confinement or services:

·  
Provided in a government facility (unless otherwise required by law);
·  
Paid or payable under Medicare.  This includes any amounts that would be covered under Medicare; except that they are subject to a Medicare deductible or coinsurance of some kind.  This does not apply when expenses are reimbursable under Medicare solely as a secondary payer;
·  
Provided under any governmental programs (except Medicaid); or
·  
Paid or payable under any state or federal workers’ compensation, employer’s liability or occupational disease law, or any motor vehicle no-fault law; unless
·  
the costs incurred and paid exceed the amount covered by one of these entities, policies or programs.

           Note: A government facility includes a facility administered, covered or reimbursed by the Veteran’s Administration.

End of Eligibility

If rider benefit payments cease because the insured no longer qualifies for benefits under this rider, the following will apply:

·  
If the Policy’s no lapse ending date has not passed, the test to determine whether the no lapse guarantee is in effect will not require a minimum no lapse premium for those months while we were paying benefits under this rider.
·  
Any negative Policy Value will be reset to zero.
·  
Policy transactions that were restricted while we were paying benefits under this rider will become unrestricted.

Features of the rider:
The LTC Rider must be elected in the initial application and may only be added at policy issue.  A supplemental application will be used specifically for the LTC Rider.
 
The LTC Rider is only available if you select the Cash Value Accumulation Tax Test.
 
At issue, the LTC Rider specified amount will be equal to 100% of the Base Policy face amount.
 
The LTC Rider minimum specified amount at issue is $50,000 and the maximum is $1,000,000.
 
Loans and withdrawals are not permitted while benefits are being paid under the rider.
 
There is a 30 day free-look period for the LTC Rider.  If you decide not to keep the rider, simply return it to us at our administrative office or to the representative from whom you purchased the Policy within the 30 day period.  We will then reissue the Policy to reflect the removal of the LTC Rider.
 
There are no increases in the LTC Rider specified amount except those due to a change in the death benefit option.
 
If a Policy’s death benefit exceeds the LTC specified amount, the LTC specified amount does not increase because it is based upon the Policy’s face amount – not the death benefit.
 
The rider charge is taken as a monthly deduction from the Policy Value.
 
Certain transactions that change the face amount of the Policy, other than payments of rider benefits, will also change the LTC Rider specified amount:
Ø A decrease in the face amount of the Policy;
Ø A death benefit option change;
Ø Cash withdrawals; or
Ø An accelerated death benefit due to terminal illness.
If the policyowner has elected the LTC Rider, then reductions will not be permitted that decrease the face amount of the Policy below $50,000.
 
If there is a loan balance at the time the LTC Rider benefits commence, then the rider payments will first be applied toward paying any interest due on the loan balance and the remaining benefit amount will be paid to the policyowner.
 
If there are any policy loans at the time the rider maximum amount has been reached, the policyowner must pay the interest due on any policy loans as it becomes due. Otherwise the Policy will terminate.
 
Only the Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement and Income Protection Option are available under the Policy if the policyowner has elected the LTC Rider.  All other riders available under the Policy cannot be elected in combination with the LTC Rider.
 
LTC Rider benefit payments will not result in any decreases in the Policy’s face amount, Policy Value or loan amounts; they will be deducted from the Policy’s death benefit and surrender value when the insured dies or the policyowner surrenders the Policy.  When the LTC Rider benefits commence, the LTC benefits paid will result in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in any policy proceeds paid at death or surrender.
 
LTC Rider benefit payments may not be assigned.  Rider benefit payments are paid to the policyowner, whether the insured is the policyowner or is another individual.
 
At commencement of benefits under the rider, the Policy Value is transferred from the Separate Account to the Basic Interest Account. Any premiums or loan repayments that are made while the insured is receiving benefits under the rider will be allocated to the Basic Interest Account.
 
The minimum elected monthly benefit is a minimum of $500 per month.
     
Effects of Reaching the Rider Maximum Amount:
   
 
No further monthly deductions will be charged for the rider.
 
All riders other than the LTC Rider will terminate.
 
Interest will continue to be credited to the Policy Value and interest on policy loans must be paid in cash to avoid termination.
 
Termination of the rider:
 
The rider will terminate on the earliest of the following:
     
 
The Monthly Policy Date coinciding with or immediately following the date we receive in good order at our mailing address, a written request to terminate the LTC Rider.
 
The date the Policy lapses.
 
The date the Policy is surrendered.
 
The date the Policy terminates (including any recission).
 
The date of the insured’s death.

Effect of Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit Endorsement on the LTC Rider

If your Policy includes an endorsement providing an accelerated death benefit in the event of a terminal illness (“Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement”) the insured may qualify for benefits under both the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement and the Long Term Care rider.  If the insured qualifies for benefits under both the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement and the Long Term Care rider and if a claim is made under both the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement and the Long Term Care rider, a benefit will be paid under the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement first.  A payment under the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement will reduce the face amount and the Long Term Care Rider specified amount will be reduced by the same amount. Once payment under the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement is made, any payments under the Long Term Care Rider will be made based on the newly reduced long term care specified amount.

We will not pay benefits under both the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement and the Long Term Care rider simultaneously. If a claim is made under the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement while benefits are being paid under the Long Term Care Rider, we will stop paying benefits under the Long Term Care Rider when we pay benefits under the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement.  The maximum accelerated death benefit used to calculate the amount of the Terminal Illness Accelerated Death Benefit will be reduced by any Long Term Care Rider benefits paid out. Once payment under the Terminal Illness ADB Endorsement is made, and the insured qualifies for benefits under the Long Term Care Rider, any payments under the Long Term Care Rider will be made based on the newly reduced Long Term Care Rider specified amount.

Please consult your tax advisor regarding the use of this Rider.

Residual Death Benefit Endorsement

A Residual Death Benefit Endorsement is included with your Policy if you elect the Long Term Care Rider.  The residual death benefit is equal to the lesser of:

·  
10% of the lowest face amount of the Base Policy from its inception, less any loan balance; or
·  
$10,000.

Payment of Residual Death Benefit.  Upon the death of the insured while the Policy is in force, Transamerica Financial Life will pay the residual death benefit instead of the death benefit that would otherwise be payable if it is more than such benefit and:

·  
The insured dies during a calendar month for which a monthly long term care benefit is due under the Long Term Care Rider; or
·  
The insured dies after Transamerica Financial Life has paid the maximum amount under the Long Term Care Rider.

Termination. The Residual Death Benefit Endorsement will terminate on the earliest of the following:

·  
The date the Policy is surrendered;
·  
The date the Policy terminates for any reason;
·  
The date you request termination of the Long Term Care Rider.
 
 Additional Information         
 

Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order

We cannot process your instructions to process a transaction relating to the Policy until we have received your instructions in good order at our mailing address. "Good order" means the actual receipt by us of the instructions relating to a transaction in writing or, when appropriate, by telephone or facsimile, along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation (including any required spousal or joint owner's consents) we require in order to effect the transaction.  To be in "good order," instructions must be sufficiently clear so that we do not need to exercise any discretion to follow such instructions.
 
Sale of the Policies
 
Distribution and Principal Underwriting Agreement TCI, our affiliate, serves as principal underwriter for the Policies pursuant to the terms of an agreement for the distribution and sale of the Policies. We reimburse TCI for certain expenses it incurs in order to pay for distribution of the Policies.
 
Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Policies. The Policies are offered to the public through broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that are licensed under the federal securities laws; the selling firm and/or its affiliates is/are also licensed under state insurance laws. The selling firms have entered into written selling agreements with us and with TCI as principal underwriter for the Policies. We pay commissions through TCI to the selling firms for their sales of the Policies.
 
A limited number of affiliated and unaffiliated broker-dealers, including Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc., and unaffiliated firms may also be paid commissions and overrides to “wholesale” the policies, that is, to provide sales support and training to sales representatives at selling firms.
 
The selling firms are paid commissions for the promotion and sale of the Policies according to one or more schedules. The amount and timing of commissions may vary depending on the selling agreement. The sales commission paid to broker-dealers during 2012 is expected to be, on average, 56% of all premiums paid during the first Policy Year, plus 1% of all premiums made during Policy Years 2 – 5. We will pay an additional trail commission of up to 0.30% of the Policy’s subaccount value (excluding the Basic Interest Account) on the Policy Anniversary if the Policy Value (minus amounts attributable to loans) equals at least $5,000. Additional sales commissions may also be payable on premiums paid as a result of an increase in face amount. Some selling firms may be required to return first year commissions (less surrender charge) if the Policy is not continued through the first two Policy Years.
 
To the extent permitted by FINRA rules, Transamerica Financial Life, TCI, and other affiliated parties may pay (or allow other broker-dealers to provide) promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash or non-cash compensation or reimbursement to some, but not all, selling firms and their sales representatives.  These arrangements, which may be referred to as “revenue sharing,” are described further below.
 
The sales representative who sells you the Policy typically receives a portion of the compensation we (and our affiliates) pay to his or her selling firm, depending on the agreement between the selling firm and its sales representative and the firm’s internal compensation program. These programs may include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask your sales representative for further information about the compensation your sales representative, and the selling firm that employs your sales representative, may receive in connection with your purchase of a Policy. Also inquire about any revenue sharing arrangements that we and our affiliates may have with the selling firm, including the conflicts of interests that such arrangements may create.
 
Special Compensation for Affiliated Wholesaling and Selling Firms. Our parent company provides paid-in capital to TCI and pays the cost of TCI’s operating and other expenses, including costs for facilities, legal and accounting services, and other internal administrative functions.
 
  Sales of the policies are supported by Transamerica Financial Advisors, Inc. (“TFA”), an affiliated selling broker-dealer.  We underwrite certain costs of TFA’s various facilities, third-party services and internal administrative functions, including employee salaries, sales representative training and employee benefits that are provided directly to TFA.  These facilities and services are necessary for TFA’s administration and operation.

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

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

TFA’s sales representatives may also be eligible to participate in a stock option and award plan.  Sales representatives who meet certain production goals will be issued options on the stock of AEGON N.V.  We also maintain a non-qualified deferred compensation plan for TFA’s sales representatives who are our insurance agents.  The plan permits such agents to defer receipt of commissions on sales of our variable insurance products.

 
Additional Compensation that We Pay to Selected Selling Firms. We may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for “preferred product” treatment of the Policies in their marketing programs in order to receive enhanced marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives. In exchange for providing us with access to their distribution network, such selling firms may receive additional compensation or reimbursement for, among other things, the hiring and training of sales personnel, marketing, sponsoring of conferences and seminars, and/or other services they provide to us and our affiliates. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we and other parties may allow other non-cash incentives and compensation to be paid to these selling firms. These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms.
 
These special compensation arrangements are not offered to all selling firms and the terms of such arrangements differ between selling firms.  Special compensation arrangements are calculated in different ways by different selling firms.
No specific charge is assessed directly to policyowners or the Separate Account to cover commissions and other incentives or payments described above. We do intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses and incentives we pay, however, through fees and charges deducted under the Policy and other corporate revenue.
 
You should be aware that a selling firm or its sales representatives may receive different compensation or incentives for selling one product over another. In some cases, these differences may create an incentive for the selling firm or its sales representatives to recommend or sell the Policy to you. You may wish to take such incentives into account when considering and evaluating any recommendation relating to the Policies.

Legal Proceedings
 
Transamerica Financial Life, like other life insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits, including class action lawsuits. In some lawsuits involving 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, at the present time there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are likely to have a material adverse impact on the Separate Account, on TCI’s ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on Transamerica Financial Life’s ability to meet its obligations under the Policy.

Financial Statements
 
The financial statements of Transamerica Financial Life and Separate Account VUL 3 are included in the SAI.
 
Additional information regarding the investment performance of the funds appears in the fund prospectuses, which accompany this prospectus.

Appendix B – Illustrations
 
The following illustrations show how certain values under a sample Policy would change with different rates of fictional investment performance over an extended period of time. In particular, the illustrations show how the death benefit, Policy Value, and cash surrender value under a Policy issued to an insured of a given age, would change over time if the premiums indicated were paid and the return on the assets in the subaccounts were a uniform gross annual rate (before any expenses) of 0%, 6% or 10%. The tables illustrate Policy Value that would result based on assumptions that you pay the premiums indicated, you do not change your face amount, and you do not take any cash withdrawals or Policy loans. The values under the Policy will be different from those shown even if the returns averaged 0%, 6% or 10%, but fluctuated over and under those averages throughout the years shown.
 
The first of the illustrations that follows is based on a Policy for an insured who is a 35 year old male in the Non-Tobacco class of risk (the “representative insured”), annual premium paid on the first day of each Policy Year of $427.00, a $50,000 initial face amount and Level death benefit option. That illustration also assumes cost of insurance charges based on our current cost of insurance rates.
 
The second illustration that follows is based on the same factors as those reflected in the first illustration, except the cost of insurance charges are based on the guaranteed cost of insurance rates and expenses (based on the 2001Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Table).
 
The amounts shown in the illustrations for the death benefits, Policy Values and cash surrender values take into account the amount and timing of all Policy, subaccount and fund fees assessed under the Policy. The current illustration uses the current charges for a Policy and the guaranteed illustration uses the guaranteed charges for a Policy. These charges are:
 
(1) the daily charge for assuming mortality and expense risks assessed against each subaccount. This charge is equivalent to an annual charge of 0.75% of the average net assets of the subaccounts during the first 10 Policy Years. We may reduce this charge to 0.60% for Policy Years 11 – 15, 0.30% for Policy Years 16 – 20 and 0.00% for Policy Years 21+ but we do not guarantee that we will do so. We guarantee that this charge will be no more than 0.90% annually for all Policy Years;
 
(2) estimated daily expenses equivalent to an effective arithmetic average annual expense level of 0.82% of the funds’ gross average daily net assets. The 0.82% gross average fund expense level assumes an equal allocation of amounts among the 51 subaccounts available to new investors. We used annualized actual audited expenses incurred during 2011 for the funds to calculate the gross average annual expense level;
 
(3) the premium expense charge (5% of all premium payments in the first 5 Policy Years and 2.5% of all premiums paid thereafter) and monthly deductions using the current monthly policy fee; and
 
(4) the surrender charge per $1,000 of the initial face amount or each increase in face amount applied to surrenders during the first 10 Policy Years or during the first 10 Policy Years from the date of any increase in face amount.
 
The hypothetical returns shown in the tables are provided only to illustrate the mechanics of a hypothetical policy and do not represent past or future investment rates of return. Tax charges that may be attributable to the Separate Account are not reflected because we are not currently making such charges. If tax charges are deducted in the future, the Separate Account would have to earn a sufficient amount in excess of 0%, 6% or 10% or cover any tax charges to produce after tax returns of 0%, 6% or 10%. Your actual rates of return for a particular policy  likely will be more or less than the hypothetical investment rates of return. The actual return on your Policy Value will depend on factors such as the amounts you allocate to particular funds, the amounts deducted for the policy’s monthly charges and other charges, the funds’ expense ratios, and your loan and withdrawal history, in addition to the actual investment experience of the funds.
 
We will furnish the owner, upon request, a personalized illustration reflecting the proposed insured’s age, gender, risk classification and desired policy features. Contact your registered representative or our administrative office. (See prospectus back cover – “Inquiries.”)

Personalized Illustrations of Policy Benefits
 
In order to help you understand how your policy values could vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you upon request, with certain personalized hypothetical illustrations showing the death benefit, cash surrender value and Policy Value. These hypothetical illustrations will be based on the age and insurance risk characteristics of the insured persons under your Policy and such factors as the face amount band, death benefit option, premium payment amounts, and hypothetical rates of return (within limits) that you request. The illustrations are not a representation or guarantee of investment returns or Policy Value. We currently do not charge for these illustrations but we reserve the right to charge up to $25 if we provide more than one illustration in a Policy Year.

In order to supplement the description in the prospectus, the following provides additional information about Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“Transamerica Financial Life”) and the Policy, which may be of interest to a prospective purchaser.

The Policy – General Provisions                                                                                                                                          

Ownership Rights

The Policy belongs to the owner named in the application. The owner may exercise all of the rights and options described in the Policy. The owner is the insured unless the application specifies a different person as the insured. If the owner dies before the insured and no contingent owner is named, then ownership of the Policy will pass to the owner's estate. The owner may exercise certain rights described below.

Changing the Owner
·
Change the owner by providing written notice, in good order, to us at our mailing address at any time while the insured is alive and the Policy is in force.
 
·
Change is effective as of the date that the written notice is accepted by us in good order, at our mailing address.
 
·
Changing the owner does not automatically change the beneficiary.
 
·
Changing the owner may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before changing the owner.
 
·
We are not liable for payments we made before we received the written notice at our mailing address.

Choosing the Beneficiary
·
The owner designates the beneficiary (the person to receive the death benefit when the insured dies) in the application.
 
·
If the owner designates more than one beneficiary, then each beneficiary shares equally in any death benefit unless the beneficiary designation states otherwise.
 
·
If the beneficiary dies before the insured, then any contingent beneficiary becomes the beneficiary.
 
·
If both the beneficiary and contingent beneficiary die before the insured, then the death benefit will be paid to the owner or the owner's estate upon the insured's death.

Changing the Beneficiary
·
The owner changes the beneficiary by providing written notice to us, in good order, at our mailing address.
 
·
Change is effective as of the date the owner signs the written notice.
 
·
We are not liable for any payments we made before we received the written notice at our mailing address.

Assigning the Policy
·
The owner may assign Policy rights while the insured is alive.
 
·
The owner retains any ownership rights that are not assigned.
 
·
Assignee may not change the owner or the beneficiary, and may not elect or change an optional method of payment. Any amount payable to the assignee will be paid in a lump sum.
 
·
Claims under any assignment are subject to proof of interest and the extent of the assignment.
 
·
We are not:
   
>
bound by any assignment unless we receive a written notice of the assignment at our mailing address;
   
>
responsible for the validity of any assignment;
   
>
liable for any payment we made before we received written notice of the assignment at our mailing address; or
   
>
bound by any assignment which results in adverse tax consequences to the owner, insured(s) or beneficiary(ies).
 
·
Assigning the Policy may have tax consequences. You should consult a tax advisor before assigning the Policy.

Selecting the tax test
·
The owner may elect either the guideline premium test or the cash value accumulation test.  Your election may affect the amount of the death benefit payable under your Policy, the amount of premiums you may pay, and the amount of your monthly deduction.

 
 

 
Our Right to Contest the Policy

In issuing the Policy, we rely on all statements made by or for the insured in the application or in a supplemental application. Therefore, if you make any material misrepresentation of a fact in the application (or any supplemental application), then we may contest the Policy's validity or may resist a claim under the Policy for two years from the Policy date.  For any portion of the face amount that is issued as a result of a conversion, the contestability period is measured from the later of the policy date of the policy that was converted or the latest effective date of reinstatement of the converted policy.

A new two year contestability period shall apply to each increase in face amount that requires evidence of insurability beginning on the effective date of each increase and will apply only to statements made in the application for the increase.

In the absence of fraud, we cannot bring any legal action to contest the validity of the Policy after the Policy or requested increase that requires evidence of insurability, has been in force during the insured's lifetime for two years from the Policy date, or if reinstated, for two years from the date of reinstatement.

Suicide Exclusion

If the insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years of the Policy date (or two years from the reinstatement date, if the Policy lapses and is reinstated), the Policy will terminate and our liability is limited to an amount equal to the premiums paid, less any loan balance amount, and less any cash withdrawals. We will pay this amount to the beneficiary in one sum.  For any portion of the face amount that is issued as a result of a conversion, the suicide period is measured from the later of the Policy date of the Policy that was converted or the latest effective date of reinstatement of the converted policy.

If the insured commits suicide, while sane or insane, within two years from the effective date of any increase in face amount that requires evidence of insurability, our liability with respect to such increase will be limited to its cost of insurance charges and any monthly expense charges.

Misstatement of Age or Gender

If the age or gender of the insured was stated incorrectly in the application or any supplemental application, then the death benefit will be adjusted based on what the cost of insurance charge and monthly expense charge for the most recent monthly deduction would have purchased based on the insured's correct age and gender.

Modifying the Policy

Only our President or Secretary may modify the Policy or waive any of our rights or requirements under the Policy. Any modification or waiver must be in writing. No agent may bind us by making any promise not contained in the Policy.

If we modify the Policy, we will provide you notice and we will make appropriate endorsements to the Policy.

Mixed and Shared Funding

 Shares of the portfolios are sold to other separate accounts that we (or our affiliates) establish to support other variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies we (or our affiliates) issue.  Shares of some portfolios are also sold to separate accounts of unaffiliated life insurance companies.  It is possible in the future that you may be disadvantaged when the separate account invests in a portfolio that also (1) invests in separate accounts of unaffiliated life insurance companies, and (2) invests in separate accounts (including those of our affiliates) funding variable annuity contracts.

Neither we nor the funds currently foresee that you would be disadvantaged in this manner.  Each fund’s board of directors/trustees monitors its fund to identify any material conflicts that may arise between the interests of owners of variable annuity contracts and those of owners of variable life insurance policies, as well as between the interests of owners of contracts issued by different unaffiliated life insurance companies (“material conflicts”).  Such boards of directors/trustees are obligated to determine what action, if any, must be taken to resolve any material conflicts that arise.  Such action could include requiring the separate account, or separate accounts of affiliated or unaffiliated insurance companies, to withdraw their investments in a portfolio and such withdrawals could have adverse consequences to owners.  In addition, we have entered into an agreement with each fund on behalf of the separate account governing the separate account’s investment in that fund’s portfolios (the “participation agreement”).  The participation agreement contains provisions designed to protect owners in the event of material conflicts.

 
 

 
Material conflicts affecting owners could result in a number of situations including: (1) differences in state insurance law applicable to different life insurance companies whose separate accounts are invested in a portfolio; (2) changes in tax law or regulations that result in changes to a portfolio that have a disparate effect on different life insurance companies whose separate accounts are invested in the portfolio, or on different types of variable contracts invested in the portfolio; (3) actions or omissions by a fund that operate to the advantage of one group of variable contract owners at the expense of another group or groups; (4) changes to a portfolio approved at a shareholders’ meeting as a result of voting by one group of variable contract owners to the disadvantage of another group or groups;  and (5) disparate provisions in the participation agreements of different unaffiliated insurance companies or the pursuit of remedies under such an agreement by one insurance company to the detriment of one or more other insurance companies.

Notwithstanding our reasonable efforts and those of the funds, there is the risk that actions or omissions of the fund in response to material conflicts may disadvantage our policyowners.  If we believe that a fund’s response to any of these events or conflicts is insufficient to protect our policyowners, we will undertake appropriate actions on our own, which may include withdrawing the separate account’s investments in the fund.

If a fund's Board of Directors/Trustees were to conclude that separate funds should be established for variable life insurance and variable annuity separate accounts, Transamerica Financial Life will bear the attendant expenses, but variable life insurance policyowners and variable annuity contract owners would no longer have the economies of scale resulting from a larger combined fund.

Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Portfolios

We do not guarantee that each portfolio will always be available for investment through the Policy.  We reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to add new portfolios, close existing portfolios, or substitute portfolio shares that are held by any subaccount for shares of a different portfolio.  New or substitute portfolios may have different fees and expenses and their availability may be limited to certain classes of purchasers.  We will only add, delete or substitute shares of another portfolio of a fund (or of another open-end, registered investment company) if the shares of a portfolio are no longer available for investment, or if in our judgment further investment in any portfolio would become inappropriate in view of the purposes of the separate account.  We will not add, delete or substitute any shares attributable to your interest in a subaccount without notice to you and prior approval of the SEC, to the extent required by the 1940 Act or other applicable law.  We may also decide to purchase securities from other portfolios for the separate account.  We reserve the right to transfer separate account assets to another separate account that we determine to be associated with the class of contracts to which the Policy belongs.

We also reserve the right to establish additional subaccounts of the separate account, each of which would invest in a new portfolio of a fund, or in shares of another investment company, with specified investment objectives.  We may establish new subaccounts when, in our sole discretion, marketing, tax or investment conditions warrant.  We will make any new subaccounts available to existing owners on a basis we determine.  We may also eliminate one or more subaccounts for the same reasons as stated above.

In the event of any such substitution or change, we may make such changes in this and other policies as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change.  If we deem it to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the Policies, and when permitted by law, the separate account may be (1) operated as a management company under the 1940 Act, (2) deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required, (3) managed under the direction of a committee, or (4) combined with one or more other separate accounts, or subaccounts.

Death Benefit

To qualify as “life insurance” under the federal tax laws, the Policy must provide a minimum death benefit.  The minimum death benefit will be determined as of the date of death of the insured.  Under current federal tax law, either the “guideline premium” test or the “cash value accumulation” test may be used to determine whether the Policy qualifies as “life insurance” under the Internal Revenue Code.

The “guideline premium” test limits the dollar amount of payments you may make under a Policy. There are no legal limits on the amount of premium payments under the “cash value accumulation” test, although we may apply our own limits.  The factors used to determine the minimum death benefit applicable to a given policy value are different under the two tests.

You must elect one of the tax tests at the time of application for the Policy.  You may not change tests.  You should consult a qualified tax advisor in choosing between the “guideline premium” and the “cash value accumulation” tests and in choosing a death benefit option.

The minimum death benefit is computed by multiplying the policy value as of the date of the insured’s death by a limitation percentage for the insured’s age.  Under the cash value accumulation test, the policy value in this calculation is reduced by any applicable net single premium for riders that are qualified additional benefits before multiplying by the limitation percentage.  The minimum death benefit factors will be adjusted to conform to any changes in federal tax laws.

Transamerica Financial Life was incorporated in 1947 under the laws of New York and is subject to regulation by the Superintendent of Insurance of the State of New York, as well as by the insurance departments of all other states and jurisdictions in which it does business. Transamerica Financial Life is licensed to sell insurance in 49 states (including New York) and in the District of Columbia. Transamerica Financial Life submits annual statements on its operations and finances to insurance officials in all states and jurisdictions in which it does business. The Policy described in the prospectus has been filed with, and where required, approved by, insurance officials in those jurisdictions in which it is sold.

Transamerica Financial Life established the separate account as a separate investment account under New York law in 1994. We own the assets in the separate account and are obligated to pay all benefits under the Policies. The separate account is used to support other life insurance policies of Transamerica Financial Life, as well as for other purposes permitted by law.

The separate account is registered with the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, or 1940 Act, as a unit investment trust. It meets the definition of an investment company under the federal securities laws. However, the SEC does not supervise the management of the investment practices or policies of the separate account.

The separate account has sub-accounts available for investment, each of which invests solely in a specific corresponding mutual fund portfolio. Since all of the portfolios are available to certain other registered separate accounts offering variable annuity and variable life insurance products of Transamerica Financial Life and of other insurance companies, there is a possibility of a material conflict. If such a conflict arises between the interests of TFLIC Series Life Account and one or more other separate accounts investing in the portfolios, the affected insurance companies will take steps to resolve the matter. These steps may include stopping their separate accounts from investing in the portfolios. See the portfolios’ prospectuses for greater detail on this subject.


Legal Matters

All matters relating to federal securities laws and New York law pertaining to the Policy have been passed upon by Arthur D. Woods, Esq., Vice President of Transamerica Financial Life.


Personalized Illustrations of Policy Benefits

In order to help you understand how your Policy values would vary over time under different sets of assumptions, we will provide you with certain personalized illustrations upon request. These will be based on the age and insurance risk characteristics of the insured persons under your Policy and such factors as the face amount, death benefit option, premium payment amounts, and rates of return (within limits) that you request.

The illustrations are not a representation or guarantee of investment returns or policy value. You may request illustrations that reflect the expenses of the portfolios in which you intend to invest.

Sale of the Policies
 
We currently offer the Policies on a continuous basis. We anticipate continuing to offer the Policies, but reserve the right to discontinue the offering.

Our affiliate, TCI serves as principal underwriter for the Policies.  TCI’s home office is located at 4600 S. Syracuse Street, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado 80237.  TCI is an affiliate of Transamerica Financial Life and, like Transamerica Financial Life, is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of AEGON USA.  TCI is registered as a broker-dealer with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”).  TCI is not a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation.
 
The Policies are offered to the public through sales representatives of broker-dealers ("selling firms") that have entered into selling agreements with us and with TCI.  Sales representatives are appointed as our insurance agents.

 
 

 
During fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, the amounts paid to TCI in connection with all Policies sold through the separate account were, $1,029,706.69, $940,669 and $952,891, respectively. TCI passes through to selling firms commissions it receives to selling firms for their sales, and does not retain any portion of any commissions. Our parent company provides paid-in capital to TCI and pays for TCI's operating and other expenses, including overhead, legal and accounting fees.

We and/or TCI or TFA may pay certain selling firms additional cash amounts for:  (1) “preferred product” treatment of the Policies in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives; (2) sales promotions relating to the Policies; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives; and (4) other expenses incurred by them.  These additional payments are not offered to all selling firms, and the terms of any particular agreement governing the payments may vary among selling firms.

Reports to Owners

At least once each year, or more often as required by law, we will mail to policyowners at their last known address a report showing the following information as of the end of the report period:

>
the current policy value
>
any activity since the last report
>
the current cash surrender value
>
projected values
>
the current death benefit
>
investment experience of each subaccount
>
loan balances
>
any other information required by law

You may request additional copies of reports, but we may charge a fee for such additional copies. In addition, we will send written confirmations of any premium payments and other financial transactions you request including: changes in face amount, changes in death benefit option, transfers, partial withdrawals, increases in loan amount, loan interest payments, loan repayments, lapses and reinstatements. We also will send copies of the annual and semi-annual report to shareholders for each portfolio in which you are indirectly invested.

Records

We will maintain all records relating to the separate account and the fixed account.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The financial statements of the separate account at December 31, 2011, and for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, and the statutory-basis financial statements and schedules of Transamerica Financial Life at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, appearing herein, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, 801 Grand Avenue, Suite 3000, Des Moines, Iowa 50309, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in the firms respective reports thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such reports given upon the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Experts

Actuarial matters included in this SAI have been examined by Lorne Schinbein, Vice President and Assistant Actuary of Transamerica Financial Life, as stated in the opinion filed as an exhibit to the registration statement.


Underwriters                                                                                                                                          

Underwriting Standards

The Policy uses mortality tables that distinguish between men and women. As a result, the Policy pays different benefits to men and women of the same age.

Your cost of insurance charge is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the insured's gender, age of insured on the Policy date, age of insured at the time of any increase in face amount, face amount band, length of time from the Policy date or from the date of any requested increase in face amount, and underwriting class.  We currently place insureds into the following underwriting classes:

·
preferred elite;
·
preferred plus;
·
preferred;
·
non-tobacco;
·
preferred tobacco;
·
tobacco; and
·
juvenile – under 18.

The preferred classes of risks are not available for Policies issued with a face amount at a level for which our underwriting requirements do not require a blood test.  We also place insureds in various sub-standard underwriting classes, which involve a higher mortality risk and higher charges. We generally charge higher rates for insureds who use tobacco.

 
 

 
Performance Data                                                                                                                                          

Other Performance Data in Advertising Sales Literature

We may compare each subaccount's performance to the performance of:
·
other variable life issuers in general;
·
variable life insurance policies which invest in mutual funds with similar investment objectives and policies, as reported by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper") and Morningstar, Inc. ("Morningstar"); and other services, companies, individuals, or industry or financial publications (e.g., Forbes, Money, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, Barron's, Kiplinger's Personal Finance, and Fortune);
 
>
Lipper and Morningstar rank variable annuity contracts and variable life policies. Their performance analysis ranks such policies and contracts on the basis of total return, and assumes reinvestment of distributions; but it does not show sales charges, redemption fees or certain expense deductions at the separate account level.
·
the Standard & Poor's Index of 500 Common Stocks, or other widely recognized indices;
 
>
unmanaged indices may assume the reinvestment of dividends, but usually do not reflect deductions for the expenses of operating or managing an investment portfolio; or
·
other types of investments, such as:
 
>
certificates of deposit;
 
>
savings accounts and U.S. Treasuries;
 
>
certain interest rate and inflation indices (e.g., the Consumer Price Index); or
 
>
indices measuring the performance of a defined group of securities recognized by investors as representing a particular segment of the securities markets (e.g., Donoghue Money Market Institutional Average, Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond Index, or Lehman Brothers Government Bond Index).

Transamerica Financial Life’s Published Ratings

We may publish in advertisements, sales literature, or reports we send to you the ratings and other information that an independent ratings organization assigns to us. These organizations include: A.M. Best Company, Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's Insurance Rating Services, and Fitch Ratings. These ratings are opinions regarding an operating insurance company's financial capacity to meet the obligations of its insurance policies in accordance with their terms. These ratings do not apply to the separate account, the subaccounts, the funds or their portfolios, or to their performance.

Financial Statements                                                                                                                                          

Transamerica Financial Life’s statutory-basis financial statements and schedules, which include the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, appear on the following pages. These statutory-basis financial statements and schedules should be distinguished from the separate account's financial statements, and you should consider these statutory-basis financial statements and schedules only as bearing upon Transamerica Financial Life’s ability to meet its obligations under the Policies. You should not consider our statutory-basis financial statements and schedules as bearing upon the investment performance of the assets held in the separate account.

Transamerica Financial Life’s statutory-basis financial statements and schedules at December 31, 2011 and 2010 and for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, have been prepared on the basis of statutory accounting principles rather than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The separate account’s financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2011, which include the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, also appear on the following pages.




 
 

 

 
 
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
The Board of Directors and Contract Owners
of the TFLIC Series Life Account
 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of each of the subaccounts constituting the TFLIC Series Life Account (the Separate Account) (comprised of the Transamerica JPMorgan Core Bond VP, Transamerica Asset Allocation - Conservative VP, Transamerica Asset Allocation - Growth VP, Transamerica Asset Allocation - Moderate Growth VP, Transamerica Asset Allocation - Moderate VP, Transamerica MFS International Equity VP, Transamerica Clarion Global Real Estate Securities VP, Transamerica JPMorgan Tactical Allocation VP, Transamerica International Moderate Growth VP, Transamerica JPMorgan Mid Cap Value VP, Transamerica JPMorgan Enhanced Index VP, Transamerica BlackRock Large Cap Value VP, Transamerica AEGON High Yield Bond VP, Transamerica PIMCO Total Return VP, Transamerica Morgan Stanley Capital Growth VP, Transamerica T. Rowe Price Small Cap VP, Transamerica Third Avenue Value VP, Transamerica Multi-Managed Balanced VP, Transamerica AllianceBernstein Dynamic Allocation VP, Transamerica WMC Diversified Growth VP, Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP, Transamerica Systematic Small/Mid-Cap Value VP, Transamerica AEGON U.S. Government Securities VP, Transamerica Morgan Stanley Mid-Cap Growth VP, Transamerica Index 50 VP, Transamerica Index 75 VP, Transamerica Efficient Markets VP, Transamerica Hanlon Balanced VP, Transamerica Hanlon Growth & Income VP, Transamerica Hanlon Growth VP, Transamerica Hanlon Income VP, Transamerica Multi Managed Large Cap Core VP, Transamerica Janus Balanced VP, Transamerica Jennison Growth VP, Transamerica AEGON Active Asset Allocation - Conservative VP, Transamerica AEGON Active Asset Allocation - Moderate VP, Transamerica AEGON Active Asset Allocation - Moderate Growth VP, Transamerica BlackRock Global Allocation VP, Transamerica BlackRock Tactical Allocation VP, Fidelity VIP Contrafund®, Fidelity VIP Equity-Income, Fidelity VIP Growth Opportunities, Fidelity VIP Index 500, ProFund VP Bull, ProFund VP NASDAQ-100, ProFund VP Small-Cap, ProFund VP Short Small-Cap, ProFund VP Money Market, ProFund VP Europe 30, ProFund VP Oil & Gas, ProFund VP UltraSmall-Cap, ProFund VP Utilities, ProFund VP Consumer Services, ProFund VP Pharmaceuticals, ProFund VP Small-Cap Value, ProFund VP Falling US Dollar, ProFund VP Emerging Markets, ProFund VP International, ProFund VP Asia 30, ProFund VP Japan, ProFund VP Short NASDAQ-100, ProFund VP U.S. Government Plus, ProFund VP Basic Materials, ProFund VP Financials, ProFund VP Precious Metals, ProFund VP Telecommunications, ProFund VP Mid-Cap, ProFund VP Short Emerging Markets, ProFund VP Short International, Access VP High Yield, Franklin Templeton VIP Founding Funds Allocation, and AllianceBernstein Balanced Wealth Strategy subaccounts) as of December 31, 2011, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the periods indicated thereon. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the separate account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2011 by correspondence with the mutual funds’ transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective subaccounts constituting the TFLIC Series Life Account at December 31, 2011, and the results of their operations and changes in net assets for the periods indicated thereon, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Investments
 
Net purchase payments received by the Separate Account are invested in the portfolios of the Mutual Funds as selected by the contract owner. Investments are stated at the closing net asset values per share on December 31, 2011.
 
Realized capital gains and losses from sales of shares in the Separate Account are determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Unrealized gains or losses from investments in the Mutual Funds are included in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.
 
Dividend Income
 
Dividends received from the Mutual Fund investments are reinvested to purchase additional mutual fund shares.
 
Accounting Policy
 
The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for variable life separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts.  The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

* These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the Mutual Fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets.  These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units.  The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Mutual Fund in which the subaccounts invest.

** These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the Separate Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated.  These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values.  Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the Mutual Fund have been excluded.

*** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Mutual Fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values.  These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units.  Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account.  The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period.

Administrative and Mortality and Expense Risk Charges
         
 
Under some forms of the policies, a sales charge and premium taxes are deducted by TFLIC prior to allocation of policy owner payments to the subaccounts.  Contingent surrender charges may also apply.
 
Under all forms of the policy, monthly charges against policy cash values are made to compensate TFLIC for costs of insurance provided.

6.
Income Taxes
               
 
Operations of the Separate Account form a part of TFLIC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).   The operations of the Separate Account are accounted for separately from other operations of TFLIC for purposes of federal income taxation.  The Separate Account is not separately taxable as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is not otherwise taxable as an entity separate from TFLIC.  Under existing federal income tax laws, the income of the Separate Account is not taxable to TFLIC, as long as earnings are credited under the variable annuity contracts.
                     
7.
Dividend Distributions
               
 
Dividends are not declared by the Separate Account, since the increase in the value of the underlying investment in the Mutual Funds is reflected daily in the accumulation unit price used to calculate the equity value within the Separate Account.   Consequently, a dividend distribution by the Mutual Funds does not change either the accumulation unit price or equity values within the Separate Account.

Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Hierarchy
         
 
The Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.
 
The Separate Account has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy which is based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.    The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
 
Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are categorized as follows:
 
Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.
 
Level 2. Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
   
a)  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
       
   
b)  Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets
     
   
c)  Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable
       
   
d)  Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
 
 
Level 3. Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. They reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
 
All investments in the Mutual Funds included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are stated at fair value and are based upon daily unadjusted quoted prices, therefore are considered Level 1.
                     
9.
Subsequent Events
               
 
The Separate Account has evaluated the financial statements for subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued.  During this period, there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

 
 

 

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (the Company) as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related
statutory-basis statements of operations, changes in capital and surplus, and cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011. Our audits also included the statutory-basis financial statement schedules required by Regulation S-X, Article 7. These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services, which practices differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles also are described in Note 1. The effects on the financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2011 and 2010, or the results of its operations or its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011.

 

 
 

 



However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company at
December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the New York Department of Financial Services. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic statutory-basis financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2010 and 2009 in response to new accounting standards, the Company changed its method of accounting for collateral received
related to certain financial transactions, deferred income taxes, and investments in loan-backed and structured securities.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a stock life insurance company and is majority owned by AEGON USA, LLC. (AEGON) and minority owned by Transamerica Life Insurance Company (TLIC).  Both AEGON and TLIC are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of AEGON N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands.

Nature of Business

The Company sells fixed and variable pension and annuity products, group life coverages, life insurance, investment contracts, structured settlements 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 New York Department of Financial Services (formerly known as 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:

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or fair value based on their National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) rating; for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would be reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in earnings for those designated as trading and as a separate component of other comprehensive income (OCI) for those designated as available-for-sale.  Fair value for GAAP is based on indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal

models.  For statutory reporting, the NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (SVO) or determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method.

All single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities (e.g., CMOs) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using either the retrospective or prospective methods. If the fair value of the mortgage-backed/asset-backed security is less than amortized cost, an entity shall assess whether the impairment is other-than-temporary. An other-than-temporary impairment is considered to have occurred if the fair value of the mortgage-backed/asset-backed security is less than its amortized cost basis and the entity intends to sell the security or the entity does not have the intent and ability to hold the security for a period of time sufficient to recover the amortized cost basis. An other-than-temporary impairment is also considered to have occurred if the discounted estimated future cash flows are less than the amortized cost basis of the security.

If it is determined an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred as a result of the cash flow analysis, the security is written down to the discounted estimated future cash flows.  If an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred due to intent to sell or lack of intent and ability to hold, the security is written down to fair value.

For GAAP, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets (e.g., CMO, CBO, CDO, CLO, MBS and ABS securities), other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows.  If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used.  If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other-than-temporary and the entity intends to sell the security or more likely than not will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis less any current period credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment should be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the amortized cost basis and its fair value at the impairment date.  If the entity does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment should be separated into a) the amount representing the credit loss, which is recognized in earnings, and b) the amount related to all other factors, which is recognized in OCI, net of applicable taxes.

Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



fair value, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in unassigned surplus as unrealized gains and losses. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of OCI rather than to income as required for fair value hedges, and an embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value.

Derivative instruments are also used in replication transactions.  In these transactions, the derivative is valued in a manner consistent with the cash investment and replicated asset.  For GAAP, the derivative is reported at fair value, with the changes in fair value reported in income.

Investments in real estate are reported net of related obligations rather than on a gross basis as for GAAP.  Real estate owned and occupied by the Company is included in investments rather than reported as an operating asset as under GAAP, and investment income and operating expenses for statutory reporting include rent for the Company’s occupancy of those properties.  Changes between depreciated cost and admitted amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus rather than to income as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation allowances are established for mortgage loans, if necessary, based on the difference between the net value of the collateral, determined as the fair value of the collateral less estimated costs to obtain and sell, and the recorded investment in the mortgage loan.  Under GAAP, such allowances are based on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate or, if foreclosure is probable, on the estimated fair value of the collateral.

The initial valuation allowance and subsequent changes in the allowance for mortgage loans are charged or credited directly to unassigned surplus as part of the change in asset valuation reserve (AVR), rather than being included as a component of earnings as would be required under GAAP.

Valuation Reserves: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity of the bond or mortgage loan based on groupings of individual securities sold in five year bands. That net deferral is reported as the interest maintenance reserve (IMR) in the accompanying balance sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses are reported in the

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



statement of operations on a pre-tax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.

The AVR provides a valuation allowance for invested assets. The AVR is determined by an NAIC prescribed formula with changes reflected directly in unassigned surplus; AVR is not recognized for GAAP.

Subsidiaries:  The accounts and operations of the Company’s subsidiaries are not consolidated with the accounts and operations of the Company as would be required under GAAP.

Policy Acquisition Costs: The costs of acquiring and renewing business are expensed when incurred. Under GAAP, acquisition costs related to traditional life insurance and certain long-duration accident and health insurance, to the extent recoverable from future policy revenues, would be deferred and amortized over the premium-paying period of the related policies using assumptions consistent with those used in computing policy benefit reserves; for universal life insurance and investment products, to the extent recoverable from future gross profits, deferred policy acquisition costs are amortized generally in proportion to the present value of expected gross profits from surrender charges and investment, mortality and expense margins.

Separate Accounts with Guarantees: Some of the Company’s separate accounts provide policyholders with a guaranteed return. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account.  These separate accounts are included in the general account for GAAP due to the nature of the guaranteed return.

Nonadmitted Assets: Certain assets designated as “nonadmitted”, primarily net deferred tax assets, amounts recoverable from reinsurers and other assets not specifically identified as an admitted asset within the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual (NAIC SAP), are excluded from the accompanying balance sheets and are charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, such assets are included in the balance sheet to the extent they are not impaired.

Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received. Benefits incurred represent surrenders and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received and benefits incurred for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and guaranteed interest in group annuity contracts are recorded directly to a policy reserve account using deposit accounting, without recognizing premium income or benefits expense. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits.

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



Under GAAP, for universal life policies, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue, and benefits would represent interest credited to the account values and the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value. Under GAAP, for all annuity policies without significant mortality risk, premiums received and benefits paid would be recorded directly to the reserve liability.

Benefit Reserves: Certain policy reserves are calculated based on statutorily required interest and mortality assumptions rather than on estimated expected experience or actual account balances as would be required under GAAP.

Reinsurance: Any reinsurance amounts deemed to be uncollectible have been written off through a charge to operations.  In addition, a liability for reinsurance balances would be established for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to the liability are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.

Losses associated with an indemnity reinsurance transaction are reported within income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized over the remaining life of the underlying reinsured contracts as would be required under GAAP.

Policy and contract liabilities ceded to reinsurers have been reported as reductions of the related reserves rather than as assets as would be required under GAAP.

Commissions allowed by reinsurers on business ceded are reported as income when incurred rather than being deferred and amortized with deferred policy acquisition costs as required under GAAP.

Deferred Income Taxes:  The Company computes deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle (SSAP) No. 10R, Income Taxes – Revised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10.  Under SSAP 10R, deferred income tax assets are limited to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse during a timeframe corresponding with the Internal Revenue Service tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, plus 2) the lesser of the remaining gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized within three years of the balance sheet date or 15% of capital and surplus excluding any net deferred income tax assets, electronic data processing equipment and operating software and any net positive goodwill, plus 3) the amount of remaining gross deferred income tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred income tax liabilities after considering the character (i.e., ordinary versus capital) of the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The remaining deferred income tax assets are nonadmitted.

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



Deferred income taxes do not include amounts for state taxes. Under GAAP, state taxes are included in the computation of deferred income taxes, a deferred income tax asset is recorded for the amount of gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized in all future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets not realizable.

Goodwill:  Goodwill is admitted subject to an aggregate limitation of ten percent of the capital and surplus in the most recently filed annual statement excluding electronic data processing equipment, operating system software, net deferred income tax assets and net positive goodwill.  Excess goodwill is nonadmitted.  Goodwill is amortized over ten years.  Under GAAP, goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred plus the fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date as compared to the fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is assessed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate that a possible impairment has occurred.

Policyholder Dividends:  Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies as would be required under GAAP.

Surplus Notes:  Surplus notes are reported as surplus rather than liabilities as would be required under GAAP.

Statements of Cash Flow: Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in the statements of cash flow represent cash balances and investments with initial maturities of one year or less. Under GAAP, the corresponding caption of cash and cash equivalents includes cash balances and investments with initial maturities of three months or less.

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

The effects of the foregoing variances from GAAP on the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements have not been determined by the Company, but are presumed to be material.

Other significant accounting policies are as follows:

Investments

Investments in bonds, except those to which the SVO has ascribed an NAIC designation of 6, are reported at amortized cost using the interest method.

Hybrid securities, as defined by the NAIC, are securities designed with characteristics of both debt and equity and provide protection to the issuer’s senior note holders.  These securities meet the definition of a bond, in accordance with SSAP No. 26, Bonds, excluding Loan-backed and Structured Securities and therefore, are reported at amortized cost or fair value based upon their NAIC rating.

Single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities are valued at amortized cost using the interest method, including anticipated prepayments, except for those with an initial NAIC designation of 6, which are valued at the lower of amortized cost or fair value. Prepayment assumptions are obtained from dealer surveys or internal estimates and are based on the current interest rate and economic environment. The retrospective adjustment method is used to value all such securities, except principal-only and interest-only securities, which are valued using the prospective method.

The Company closely monitors below investment grade holdings and those investment grade issuers where the Company has concerns. The Company also regularly monitors industry sectors. The Company considers relevant facts and circumstances in evaluating whether the impairment is other-than-temporary including: (1) the probability of the Company collecting all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security in effect at the date of acquisition; (2) the Company’s decision to sell a security prior to its maturity at an amount below its carrying amount; and (3) the Company’s ability to hold a structured security for a period of time to allow for recovery of the value to its carrying amount. Additionally, financial condition, near term prospects of the issuer and nationally recognized credit rating changes are monitored. Non-structured securities in unrealized loss positions that are considered other-than-temporary are written down to fair value.  Structured securities considered other-than-temporarily impaired are written down to discounted estimated cash flows if the impairment is the result of cash flow analysis.  If the Company has an intent to sell or lack of ability to hold a structured security, it is written down to fair value. For structured securities, cash flow trends and underlying levels of collateral are monitored.  The Company will record a charge to the statement of operations to the extent that these securities are subsequently determined to be other-than-temporarily impaired.

Investments in preferred stocks in good standing are reported at cost or amortized cost.  Investments in preferred stocks not in good standing are reported at the lower of cost or fair value, and the related net unrealized capital gains (losses) are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



Common stocks of unaffiliated companies are reported at fair value and the related net unrealized capital gains or losses are reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

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

Common stocks of affiliated noninsurance subsidiaries are reported based on underlying audited GAAP equity.  The net change in the subsidiaries’ equity is included in the change in net unrealized capital gains or losses, reported in unassigned surplus along with any adjustment for federal income taxes.

There are no restrictions on common or preferred stock.

Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less at the time of acquisition and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Cash equivalents are short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and are principally stated at amortized cost.

Mortgage loans are reported at unpaid principal balances, less an allowance for impairment.  A mortgage loan is considered to be impaired when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all principal and interest amounts due according to the contractual terms of the mortgage agreement.  When management determines that the impairment is other-than-temporary, the mortgage loan is written down to realizable value and a realized loss is recognized.

Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

The Company has minority ownership interests in joint ventures and limited partnerships.  The Company carries these investments based on its interest in the underlying audited GAAP equity of the investee.  For a decline in the fair value of an investment in a joint venture or limited partnership which is determined to be other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the statement of operations. The Company considers an impairment to have occurred if it is probable that the Company will be unable to recover the carrying amount of the

investment or if there is evidence indicating inability of the investee to sustain earnings which would justify the carrying amount of the investment.

Investments in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) properties are valued at amortized cost.  Tax credits are recognized in operations in the tax reporting year in which the tax credit is utilized by the Company.

Other “admitted assets” are valued principally at cost, as required or permitted by New York Insurance Laws.

Realized capital gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are recorded net of related federal income taxes.  Changes in admitted asset carrying amounts of bonds, mortgage loans, common and preferred stocks are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus.

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Income is also not accrued when collection is uncertain. In addition, accrued interest is excluded from investment income when payment exceeds 90 days past due.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company excluded investment income due and accrued of $248 and $262, respectively, with respect to such practices.

For dollar repurchase agreements, the Company receives cash collateral in an amount at least equal to the fair value of the securities transferred by the Company in the transaction as of the transaction date.  Cash received as collateral will be invested as needed or used for general corporate purposes of the Company.

Derivative Instruments

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

Derivative instruments used in hedging relationships are accounted for on a basis that is consistent with the hedged item (amortized cost or fair value).  Derivative instruments used in replication relationships are accounted for on a basis that is

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



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

Derivative instruments are subject to market risk, which is the possibility that future changes in market prices may make the instruments less valuable.  The Company uses derivatives as hedges, consequently, when the value of the derivative changes, the value of a corresponding hedged asset or liability will move in the opposite direction.  Market risk is a consideration when changes in the value of the derivative and the hedged item do not completely offset (correlation or basis risk) which is mitigated by active measuring and monitoring.

The Company is exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations given their high credit rating of 'A' or better.  The credit exposure of interest rate swaps and currency swaps is represented by the fair value of contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive fair value at the reporting date.  The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets on the Company's behalf.  The posted amount is equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold that is based on the credit rating of the counterparty.  Inversely, if the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, then the Company is required to post assets.

Instruments: Interest rate swaps are the primary derivative financial instruments used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the underlying asset or liability.  These interest rate swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed and floating rate amounts based on an underlying notional amount.  Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged each due date.   Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements.  If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract.  These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment.  Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Cross currency swaps are utilized to mitigate risks when the Company holds foreign denominated assets or liabilities therefore converting the asset or liability to a U.S. dollar (USD) denominated security. These cross currency swap agreements involve

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



the exchange of two principal amounts in two different currencies at the prevailing currency rate at contract inception. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating rate interest payments in the swapped currencies. At maturity, the principal amounts are again swapped at a pre-determined rate of exchange. Each asset or liability is hedged individually where the terms of the swap must meet the terms of the hedged instrument.  For swaps qualifying for hedge accounting, the premium or discount is amortized into income over the life of the contract and the foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as unrealized gain/loss in unassigned surplus.  Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.  If a swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract.  These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the hedged instrument receives that treatment.

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

The Company may purchase foreign denominated assets or issue foreign denominated liabilities and use forward rate agreements to hedge foreign currency risk associated with these products.  These forward agreements are marked to the current forward rate on the financial statements and cash payments and/or receipts are recognized as realized gains or losses.

A replication transaction is a derivative transaction entered into in conjunction with a cash instrument to reproduce the investment characteristics of an otherwise permissible investment.  The Company replicates investment grade corporate bonds by combining a AAA rated security as a cash component with a credit default swap which, in effect, converts the high quality asset into a lower rated investment grade asset.  The benefits of using the swap market to replicate credit include possible enhanced relative values as well as ease of executing larger transactions in a shortened time frame.  Generally, a premium is received by the Company on a periodic basis and recognized in investment income.  In the event the representative issuer defaults on its debt obligation referenced in the contract, a payment equal to the notional amount of the contract will be made by the Company and recognized as a capital loss.  Generally these swaps are carried at amortized cost with periodic interest payments beginning at a future date. Any early terminations are recognized as capital gains or losses.  The Company complies with the specific rules established in AVR for replication transactions.

Separate Accounts

The majority of the separate accounts held by the Company represent funds which are administered for pension plans.  The assets in the managed separate accounts consist of common stock, long-term bonds, real estate and short-term investments.  The non-managed separate accounts are invested by the Company in a corresponding portfolio of Diversified Investors Portfolios.  The portfolios are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as open-ended, diversified, management investment companies.

Except for some guaranteed separate accounts, which are carried at amortized cost, the assets are carried at fair value, and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder.  Some of the guaranteed separate accounts provide a guarantee of principal and some include an interest guarantee of 4% or less, so long as the contract is in effect.  Separate account asset performance less than guaranteed requirements is transferred from the general account and reported in the statements of operations.

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.  The Company received variable contract premiums of $4,218,991, $4,117,105 and $2,761,937, in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  In addition, the Company received $114,076, $92,604 and $73,404, in 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, related to fees associated with investment management, administration and contractual guarantees for separate accounts.

Aggregate Reserves for Policies and Contracts

Life, annuity and accident and health benefit reserves are developed by actuarial methods and are determined based on published tables using statutorily specified interest rates and valuation methods that will provide, in the aggregate, reserves that are greater than or equal to the minimum or guaranteed cash value, or the amount required by law.

The Company waives deduction of deferred fractional premiums upon death of the insured and returns any portion of the final premium for periods beyond the date of death.

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based principally upon the 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 7.25

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method.

Additional premiums are charged or additional mortality charges are assessed for policies issued on substandard lives according to underwriting classification.  Generally, mean reserves are determined by computing the regular mean reserve for the plan at the true age and holding, in addition, one-half (1/2) of the extra premium charge for the year.  For certain flexible premium and fixed premium universal life insurance products, reserves are calculated utilizing the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method for universal life policies and recognizing any substandard ratings.

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest. Reserves for immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with and without life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 3.50 to 11.00 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.

Annuity reserves also include guaranteed interest contracts (GICs) and funding agreements classified as life-type contracts as defined in 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 Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.

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

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.

During 2011, the Company implemented a new actuarial valuation system, ARCVAL. This system allows for a more accurate calculation of continuous reserves and the use of select factors in calculating deficiency reserves. As a result

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



of implementing the new system, the Company recorded a decrease in deficiency and non-deduction reserves of $520, which had a corresponding adjustment to unassigned surplus.

During 2010, the Company reported an increase in reserves on account of changes in valuation bases of $3,001.  One of the Company's operating divisions converted from a spreadsheet-based balance rollforward method of valuation of single premium group annuity (SPGA) products to a seriatim valuation using a software package capable of making these calculations.  This change in valuation process resulted in an increase in reserves of $1,144.  The remaining $1,857 increase in reserves corresponds to continued enhancements to existing valuation platforms as well as ongoing efforts to convert from client based reserves to in-house seriatim calculations using the Prophet valuation system in another of the Company’s operating divisions.  Related to this change was a corresponding decrease in the deferred premium asset of $4,446.  The changes in reserves and deferred premium asset have been charged directly to unassigned surplus.

During 2009, the Company implemented an improved valuation method for SPGA products.  The prior method approximated the reserve using a spreadsheet-based balance rollforward.  The current method is a seriatim valuation using a software package capable of making these calculations.  The change in valuation process resulted in a decrease in reserves in the amount of $4,577.  The change in reserves has been charged directly to unassigned surplus.

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 balance sheet 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 on these contracts are recorded as a direct increase or decrease, respectively, to the liability balance, and are not reported as premiums, benefits or changes in reserves in the statement of operations.

Premiums and Annuity Considerations

Revenues for policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received and are recognized over the premium paying periods of the related policies. Considerations 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 revenue.

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expense

Liabilities for losses and loss/claim adjustment expenses for accident and health contracts are estimated using statistical claim development models to develop best estimates of liabilities for medical expense business and using tabular reserves employing mortality/morbidity tables and discount rates meeting minimum regulatory requirements for other business.  The balance in the liability for unpaid accident and health claim adjustment expenses as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $821 and $780, respectively.
 
The Company incurred $864 and paid $823 of claim adjustment expenses during 2011, of which $343 of the paid amount was attributable to insured or covered events of prior years.  The Company incurred $1,353 and paid $982 of claim adjustment expenses during 2010, of which $427 of the paid amount was attributable to insured or covered events of prior years.  The Company did not increase or decrease the provision for insured events of prior years during 2011 or 2010.

Reinsurance

Coinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Gains associated with reinsurance of in force blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and amortized into income as earnings emerge on the reinsured block of business. Premiums ceded and recoverable losses have been reported as a reduction of premium income and benefits, respectively.  Policy liabilities and accruals are reported in the accompanying financial statements net of reinsurance ceded.

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

The Company's employees participate in various stock appreciation rights (SAR) plans issued by the Company's indirect parent.  In accordance with SSAP No. 13, Stock Options and Stock Purchase Plans, the expense related to these plans for the

Company's employees has been charged to the Company, with an offsetting amount credited to paid-in surplus.  No benefit or expense relating to these plans was recorded by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011 or 2010. The Company recorded a benefit of $15 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  In addition, the Company records an adjustment to paid-in surplus for the income tax benefit related to these plans.  The Company did not record an adjustment to paid-in surplus for the income tax effect related to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 or 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets – Revised.  The revisions require the Company to recognize a liability equal to the greater of (a) the fair value of the guarantee at its inception, even if the likelihood of payment under the guarantee is remote or (b) the contingent liability amount required to be recognized if it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the financial statement date and the amount of loss can reasonably be determined. While this guidance does not exclude guarantees issued as intercompany transactions or between related parties from the initial liability recognition requirement, there are a couple exceptions. Guarantees made to/or on behalf of a wholly-owned subsidiary and related party guarantees that are considered “unlimited” (for example, in response to a rating agency’s requirement to provide a commitment to support) are exempt from the initial liability recognition. Additional disclosures are also required under this new guidance for all guarantees, whether or not they meet the criteria for initial liability recognition.  The adoption of this new accounting principle had no material impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position and did not require any additional disclosures.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 100, Fair Value Measurements­, to incorporate the provisions of ASU 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. This revision requires, for annual statutory financial statements only, a new disclosure for assets and liabilities for which fair value is not measured and reported in the statement of financial position but is otherwise disclosed.  The adoption of these revisions had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.  See Note 4 for further details.

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

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

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments – Revised. This statement modified the conditions required for recognizing a liability for insurance-related assessments and required additional disclosures.  See Note 14 for disclosures related to guaranty fund assessments. The adoption of this accounting principle had no financial impact to the Company.
 
 
Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted revisions to certain paragraphs of SSAP No. 43R – Loan-backed and Structured Securities to clarify the accounting for gains and losses between AVR and IMR.  The revisions clarify that an AVR/IMR bifurcation analysis should be preformed when SSAP No. 43R securities are sold (not just as a result of impairment).  These changes were applied on a prospective basis and had no financial impact to the Company upon adoption.

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

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

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company adopted modifications made to SSAP No. 91R, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities.  As a result of these modifications, for securities lending programs, collateral received by the Company’s agent that can be sold or re-pledged is reported on the balance sheet.  Collateral received and reinvestment of that collateral by the Company are reflected as a one-line entry on the balance sheet (securities lending reinvested collateral assets).  A separate liability is established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral (payable for securities lending).

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



 This change in accounting principle increased assets and liabilities by $476,851 with no impact to surplus.  See Note 10 for further details.

In addition, the amendments to SSAP No. 91R resulted in cash collateral received from counterparties to derivatives contracts also being reported on the Company’s balance sheet in the respective asset class in which the cash was reinvested (short-term investments and bonds).  A separate liability was established to record the obligation to return the cash collateral (Payable for derivative cash collateral).  These balances were recorded on the Company’s balance sheet effective January 1, 2010 and resulted in an increase to assets of $37,735, an increase to liabilities of $37,134 and a net increase to surplus of $601.

Effective December 31, 2010, the Company adopted SSAP No. 100, including recent modifications and clarifications made to the standard.  This statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and establishes disclosure requirements about fair value, and it applies under other statutory accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  The adoption of this new accounting principle had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.  See Note 4 for further details.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company began computing deferred income taxes in accordance with SSAP No. 10R.  This statement establishes statutory accounting principles for current and deferred federal and foreign income taxes and current state income taxes.  This statement temporarily replaces SSAP No. 10. Under SSAP No. 10R, gross deferred tax assets (DTAs) shall be admitted in an amount equal to the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse by the end of the subsequent calendar year and the lesser of the amount of adjusted gross DTAs, expected to be realized within one year of the balance sheet date or 10% of capital and surplus excluding any net deferred income tax assets, electronic data processing equipment and operating system software and any net positive goodwill that can be offset against existing gross deferred income tax liabilities (DTLs) after considering the character.  If the Company’s risk-based capital level (RBC) is above 250% where an action level could occur as a result of a trend test, the Company may elect to admit a higher amount of adjusted gross DTAs.  When elected, additional DTAs are admitted for taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carryback provisions for existing temporary differences that reverse within three years of the balance sheet date and the lesser of the remaining gross DTAs expected to be realized within three years of the balance sheet date or 15% of capital and surplus excluding any net deferred income tax assets, electronic data processing equipment and operating software and any positive net goodwill plus the amount of remaining gross DTAs that can be offset against DTLs after considering the character (i.e., ordinary versus capital) of the DTAs and DTLs.  The effect of the election of this statement is the difference between the calculation of

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



the admitted DTA per SSAP No. 10R and the SSAP No. 10 methodology at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009.  As a result of this election, surplus increased by $27,930, $31,476 and $27,585 at December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which has been reflected as an aggregate write-in for other than special surplus funds on the 2011 financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2010 and 2009 financial statements to conform to the 2011 presentation.
2. Prescribed and Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices

The New York Department of Financial Services recognizes only statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the State of New York for determining and reporting the financial condition and results of operations of an insurance company, and for determining its solvency under the New York Insurance Law.

The State of New York has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to the reported value of the assets supporting the Company’s guaranteed separate accounts.  As prescribed by Section 1414 of the New York Insurance Law, the Commissioner found that the Company is entitled to value the assets of the guaranteed separate account at amortized cost, whereas the assets would be required to be reported at fair value under SSAP No. 56, Separate Accounts, of the NAIC SAP.  There is no impact to the Company’s income or surplus as a result of utilizing this prescribed practice.

The Company entered into a retrocession reinsurance contract and subsequent novation agreements with respect to each of the unaffiliated retroceded reinsurance contracts. The retrocession reinsurance contract transferred the Company’s liabilities to SCOR SE (SCOR), a Societas Europaea organized under the laws of France, and subsequently facilitated the ultimate novation of third party retrocession reinsurance contracts in support of the exiting of the reinsurance operations.  No additional net consideration was contemplated upon execution of the novation agreements.  Therefore, the Company had the same net retained risk of zero both prior to and subsequent to the execution of the novations.
 
SSAP No. 61, Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance, defines novation agreements as one which extinguishes one entity’s liability and moves it to another entity, which is applicable under this situation. The retrocession agreement had all references to the Company removed and replaced with SCOR upon completion of the novations.  SSAP No. 61 does not specifically address novation and releases related to retrocession agreements, however as both cedents and retrocessionaires in this situation are a party to the agreement. Therefore, the intent

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



of the novation and release appears to be consistent with the application for direct cedents application of the standard; thus, the Company reported the novation and release similar to a novation, as outlined in paragraphs 53-56 of SSAP No. 61, with direct adjustments to the balance sheet. 

 
3. Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors

The Company incorrectly calculated the mortgages component of the AVR as of December 31, 2010.  The maximum Mortgage Experience Adjustment Factor (MEAF) was used in the calculation when lower factors should have been used.  As a result, the AVR balance was overstated by $6,248.  This was corrected in 2011, and the Company reflected the surplus impact of the correction as a separate change in unassigned surplus within the statement of changes in capital and surplus.

During 2011, the Company determined that too many contracts were novated to TLIC, an affiliated company, in a reinsurance transaction that was effective January 1, 2010. Correcting this error resulted in a reduction in the initial gain recognized on the novation of $7,765, partially offset by an adjustment to the statement of operations for retention of the policies that should have been retained by the Company of $5,175.  The net amount of $2,590 is reflected as a separate change in unassigned surplus within the statement of changes in capital and surplus.

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, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

Bonds and Stocks:  The NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or to determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method.  The fair values of bonds and stocks are reported or determined using the following pricing sources:  indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.

For fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from independent pricing services, or, in the case of private placements, estimated by discounting the

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments.

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

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the loans.

Policy Loans:   The fair value of policy loans is assumed to equal their carrying amount.

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

Other Invested Assets:  The fair values for other invested assets, which include investments in surplus notes issued by other insurance companies and fixed or variable rate investments with underlying characteristics of bonds, were determined primarily by using indexes, third party pricing services and internal models.

Derivative Financial Instruments: The estimated fair values of interest rate caps and options are based upon the latest quoted market price at the balance sheet date.  The estimated fair values of swaps, including interest rate and currency swaps, are based on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions.  The estimated fair value of credit default swaps are based upon the pricing differential as of the balance sheet date for similar swap agreements.

Investment Contract Liabilities: Fair values for the Company’s liabilities under investment contracts, which include GICs and funding agreements, 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.  For investment contracts with no defined maturity, fair value is estimated to be the present surrender value.

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

Separate Account Assets and Annuity Liabilities: The fair value of separate account assets are based on quoted market prices. The fair value of separate account annuity

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



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

Surplus Notes:  Fair values for surplus notes are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

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

Fair values for the Company’s insurance contracts other than investment-type contracts (including separate account universal life liabilities) are not required to be disclosed. However, the fair values of liabilities under all insurance contracts are taken into consideration in the Company’s overall management of interest rate risk, such that the Company’s exposure to changing interest rates is minimized through the matching of investment maturities with amounts due under insurance contracts.

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


The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Determination of fair value

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

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

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

Fair value hierarchy

The Company's financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100.  The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement.  For example, a Level 3 fair value

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3).   The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible at the measurement date.

 
Level 2 -
Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.  Level 2 inputs include the following:

a)  Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets
 
b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets
 
c)   Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable
 
d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means

 
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.  They reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.

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

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



The following tables provide information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:


TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



Bonds classified in Level 2 are valued using inputs from third party pricing services or broker quotes. Level 3 measurements for bonds are primarily those valued using broker quotes or internal modeling which utilize inputs that are not market observable.

Common stock in Level 3 is comprised primarily of warrants valued using broker quotes.

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

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

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



The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and out of Level 3 as of the beginning of the reporting period.

Transfers in for bonds were attributable to securities not carried at fair value as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, subsequently changing to being carried at fair value during 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Transfers out for bonds were attributable to securities being carried at fair value as of December 31, 2010, subsequently changing to being carried at amortized cost during 2011.

Transfers in for common stock were the result of warrants being valued using third party vendor inputs at December 31, 2009.  The valuation of those warrants changed at December 31, 2010 to using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs.

Transfers out for common stock were attributable to securities being valued using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs at December 31, 2010, subsequently changing to being valued using third party vendor inputs during 2011.

5. Investments

The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of investments in bonds and preferred stocks are as follows:


At December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for bonds and preferred stocks that have been in a continuous loss position for greater than or equal to twelve months, the Company held 132 and 161 securities with a carrying amount of $536,070 and $729,807 and an unrealized loss of $87,167 and $99,821 with an average price of 83.7 and 86.3 (fair value/amortized cost).  Of this portfolio, 67.39% and 67.24%

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



were investment grade with associated unrealized losses of $47,520 and $46,368, respectively.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for bonds and preferred stocks that have been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months, the Company held 124 and 206 securities with a carrying amount of $500,725 and $1,273,112 and an unrealized loss of $20,188 and $38,798 with an average price of 96.0 and 97.0 (fair value/amortized cost).  Of this portfolio, 85.67% and 96.06% were investment grade with associated unrealized losses of $13,131 and $36,596, respectively.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company did not hold any common stocks that had been in a continuous loss position for greater than or equal to twelve months.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010 the Company did not hold any common stocks that had been in a continuous loss position for less than twelve months.

The estimated fair value of bonds and preferred stocks with gross unrealized losses at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of bonds at December 31, 2011, by contractual maturity, is shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because certain borrowers have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.


For impairment policies related to non-structured and structured securities, refer to Note 1 under Investments.

Banking

At December 31, 2011 the Company’s banking sector portfolio had investments in an unrealized loss position which had a fair value of $169,538 and a carrying value of $194,412, resulting in a gross unrealized loss of $24,874.  The banking sub-sector in the Company’s portfolio is large, diverse and of high quality. The unrealized losses in the banking sub-sector primarily reflect the size of the Company’s holdings, low floating rate coupons on some securities and credit spread widening in the sector due to the European Sovereign debt crisis as well as residual impact from the U.S. financial crisis.

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



As a whole, the sub-sector remained volatile in 2011 as financial bail-outs in Greece, Ireland and Portugal led to fears that Italy and Spain may require similar International bail-outs. European banks hold a significant amount of Sovereign debt on their balance sheets.  Subordinated securities, specifically, have become a target for liability management exercises by some European banks as they attempt to raise core Tier 1 ratios to 9% by June 2012, as required by the European Banking Authority.  Deeply subordinated securities became more volatile following successful attempts by the European Commission to impose “burden sharing” on the subordinated securities of those banks receiving significant state-aid as a result of the 2008 financial crisis. Furthermore, proposed legislation in the U.S. and Europe could give governments wide discretion to impose “burden sharing” on both senior and subordinated bondholders in order to quickly stabilize or wind-up troubled banks. While these measures have made existing subordinated securities more volatile in the near-term, new, more stringent global legislation on bank capital and liquidity requirements is intended to reduce overall risk in the sector going forward. Furthermore, central banks appear committed to providing liquidity to the market and, as a result, asset write-downs and credit losses have diminished substantially in all but the most troubled countries. The value of the Company’s investments in deeply subordinated securities in the financial services sector may be significantly impacted if issuers of certain securities with optional deferral features exercise the option to defer coupon payments or are required to defer as a condition of receiving government aid.  The Company evaluated the near-term prospects of the issuers in relation to the severity and duration of the unrealized loss and does not consider those investments to be impaired as of December 31, 2011.

Subprime Mortgages

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s asset-backed securities (ABS) subprime mortgages portfolio had investments in an unrealized loss position which had a fair value of $90,767 and a carrying value of $109,573, resulting in a gross unrealized loss of $18,806. The unrealized loss in the sector is primarily a result of the housing downturn the United States has experienced since 2007.  Even with the stabilization over the past two years, fundamentals in ABS subprime mortgages continue to be weak, which impacts the magnitude of the unrealized loss. Delinquencies and severities in property liquidations remain at an elevated level, while prepayments remain at historically low levels.  Due to the weak fundamental situation, reduced liquidity and the requirement for higher yields due to market uncertainty, credit spreads remain elevated across the asset class.


The Company does not currently invest in or originate whole loan residential mortgages. The Company categorizes ABS issued by a securitization trust as having subprime mortgage exposure when the average credit score of the underlying mortgage borrowers in a securitization trust is below 660 at issuance. The Company

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



also categorizes ABS issued by a securitization trust with second lien mortgages as subprime mortgage exposure, even though a significant percentage of second lien mortgage borrowers may not necessarily have credit scores below 660 at issuance. The Company does not have any “direct” residential mortgages to subprime borrowers outside of the ABS structures.

All ABS subprime mortgage securities are monitored and reviewed on a monthly basis.  Detailed cash flow models using the current collateral pool and capital structure on the portfolio are reviewed quarterly.  Model output is generated under base and stress-case scenarios. The Company’s internal ABS-housing asset specialists utilize widely recognized industry modeling software to perform a loan-by-loan, bottom-up approach to modeling. Key assumptions used in the models are projected defaults, loss severities and prepayments. Each of these key assumptions varies greatly based on the significantly diverse characteristics of the current collateral pool for each security. Loan-to-value, loan size and borrower credit history are some of the key characteristics used to determine the level of assumption that is utilized. Defaults were estimated by identifying the loans that are in various delinquency buckets and defaulting a certain percentage of them over the near-term and long-term. Assumed defaults on delinquent loans are dependent on the specific security’s collateral attributes and historical performance.

Loss severity assumptions were determined by observing historical rates from broader market data and by adjusting those rates for vintage specific pool performance, collateral type, mortgage insurance and estimated loan modifications. Prepayments were estimated by examining historical averages of prepayment activity on the underlying collateral.  Once the entire pool is modeled, the results are closely analyzed by the Company’s internal asset specialist to determine whether or not the particular tranche or holding is at risk for not collecting all contractual cash flows, taking into account the seniority and other terms of the tranches held. 

If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows and the Company does not have the intent to sell the tranche or holding and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows. As the remaining unrealized losses in the ABS subprime mortgage portfolio relate to holdings where the Company expects to receive full principal and interest, the Company does not consider the underlying investments to be impaired as of December 31, 2011.

Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) Sector

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s RMBS sector portfolio had investments in an unrealized loss position which had a fair value of $96,630 and a carrying value of $115,616, resulting in a gross unrealized loss of $18,986.  RMBS are

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



securitizations of underlying pools of residential mortgages on real estate. The underlying residential mortgages have varying credit ratings and are pooled together and sold in tranches.  The Company’s RMBS portfolio includes prime jumbo pass-throughs and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), Alt-A RMBS, negative amortization RMBS and reverse mortgage RMBS. The unrealized loss in the sector is primarily a result of the housing downturn the United States has experienced since 2007.  Even with the stabilization over the past two years, fundamentals in RMBS continue to be weak, which impacts the magnitude of the unrealized loss. Delinquencies and severities in property liquidations remain at an elevated level, while prepayments remain at historically low levels. Due to the weak fundamental situation, reduced liquidity and the requirement for higher yields due to market uncertainty, credit spreads remain elevated across the asset class.

All RMBS securities of the Company are monitored and reviewed on a monthly basis.  Detailed cash flow models using the current collateral pool and capital structure on the portfolio are updated and reviewed quarterly. Model output is generated under base and stress-case scenarios.  The Company’s internal RMBS asset specialists utilize widely recognized industry modeling software to perform a loan-by-loan, bottom-up approach to modeling. Key assumptions used in the models are projected defaults, loss severities and prepayments. Each of these key assumptions varies greatly based on the significantly diverse characteristics of the current collateral pool for each security. Loan-to-value, loan size and borrower credit history are some of the key characteristics used to determine the level of assumption that is utilized. Defaults were estimated by identifying the loans that are in various delinquency buckets and defaulting a certain percentage of them over the near-term and long-term. Assumed defaults on delinquent loans are dependent on the specific security’s collateral attributes and historical performance.

Loss severity assumptions were determined by obtaining historical rates from broader market data and by adjusting those rates for vintage, specific pool performance, collateral type, mortgage insurance and estimated loan modifications. Prepayments were estimated by examining historical averages of prepayment activity on the underlying collateral. Once the entire pool is modeled, the results are closely analyzed by the Company’s internal asset specialists to determine whether or not the particular tranche or holding is at risk for not collecting all contractual cash flows, taking into account the seniority and other terms of the tranches held.

If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows and the Company does not have the intent to sell the tranche or holding and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows. As the remaining unrealized losses in the RMBS portfolio relate to holdings where the Company expects to receive full principal and interest, the Company does not consider the underlying investments to be impaired as of December 31, 2011.

6. Reinsurance

Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements.  The Company reinsures portions of the 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.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company joins in a consolidated income tax return filing with its indirect parent company, Transamerica Corporation, and other affiliated companies. The method of allocation between the companies is subject to a written tax allocation agreement.  Under the terms of the tax allocation agreement, allocations are based on separate income tax return calculations.  The Company is entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the future losses and

credits reduce the greater of the Company's separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group's income tax liability in the year generated.  The Company is also entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company's separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group's income tax liability in any carryback or carryforward year when so applied.  Intercompany income tax balances are settled within thirty days of payment to or filing with the Internal Revenue Service. A tax return has not yet been filed for 2011.

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

The Company incurred income taxes during 2011, 2010 and 2009 of $75,476, $62,534 and $30,721, respectively, which will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses.

The amount of tax contingencies calculated for the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is $24 and $1,744, respectively.  The total amount of tax contingencies that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate is $24.  The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income taxes as interest expense and penalty expense, respectively.  The Company’s interest (benefit) expense related to income taxes for the years ending December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 is $(25), $77 and $77, respectively.  The total interest payable balance as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 is $205 and $230, respectively.  The Company recorded no liability for penalties.  It is not anticipated that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service and closing agreements have been executed through 2004. The examination for the years 2005 through 2006 have been completed and resulted in tax return adjustments that are currently undergoing final calculation at appeal.

8. Policy and Contract Attributes

Participating life insurance policies were issued by the Company which entitle policyholders to a share in the earnings of the participating policies, provided that a dividend distribution, which is determined annually based on mortality and persistency experience of the participating policies, is authorized by the Company.

For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, premiums for participating life insurance policies were $111, $2 and $(2), respectively.  The Company accounts for its policyholder dividends based on dividend scales and experience of the policies.  The Company did not pay any dividends to policyholders during 2011 and 2010.  The Company paid dividends in the amount of $17 to policyholders during 2009 and did not allocate any additional income to such policyholders.

A portion of the Company’s policy reserves and other policyholders’ funds (including separate account liabilities) relates 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, is summarized as follows:

A reconciliation of the amounts transferred to and from the separate accounts is presented below:

December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s separate account statement included legally insulated assets of $15,878,424 and $14,267,158, respectively.  The assets legally insulated from general account claims at December 31, 2011 and 2010 are attributed to the following products:

Some separate account liabilities are guaranteed by the general account.  In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the general account of the Company had a maximum guarantee for separate account liabilities of $81,614 and $41,889, respectively.  To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account paid risk charges of $3,487 and $2,394 to the general account in 2011 and 2010, respectively.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the general account of the Company had paid $1,542 and $1,006, respectively, toward separate account guarantees.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company reported guaranteed separate account assets at amortized cost in the amount of $7,519,161 and $6,673,935, respectively, based upon the prescribed practice granted by the State of New York as described in Note 2.  These assets had a fair value of $7,682,141 and $6,823,370 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which would have resulted in an unrealized gain of $162,980 and $149,435, respectively, had these assets been reported at fair value.

The Company participates in securities lending within the separate account. The Company follows the same policies and procedures as the general account for such transactions conducted from the separate account.  See Note 10 for a discussion of securities lending policies and procedures.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, securities with a book value of $26,057 and $39,189, respectively, were on loan under securities lending agreements, which represents less than one percent of total separate account assets.  The Company does not obtain approval or otherwise provide notification to contract holders regarding securities lending transactions that occur with separate account assets.  However, the Company requires that borrowers pledge collateral worth 102% of the value of the loaned securities.  At December 31, 2011, the Company held collateral from securities lending transactions in the

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



form of cash and on open terms in the amount of $26,595.  This cash collateral is reinvested in a registered money market fund and is not available for general corporate purposes.

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline XLIII (AG 43), which replaces Actuarial Guidelines 34 and 39.  AG 43 specifies statutory reserve requirements for variable annuity contracts with benefit guarantees (VACARVM) and without benefit guarantees and related products.  The AG 43 reserve calculation includes variable annuity products issued after January 1, 1981.  Examples of covered guaranteed benefits include guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits, return of premium death benefits, guaranteed minimum income benefits, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and guaranteed payout annuity floors.  The aggregate reserve for contracts falling within the scope of AG 43 is equal to the conditional tail expectation (CTE) Amount, but not less than the standard scenario amount (SSA).  The Company reported a decrease in reserves and an increase in net income of $41,643 at December 31, 2009, related to the adoption of AG 43 and changes in underlying assumptions.

To determine the CTE Amount, the Company used 1,000 of the pre-packaged scenarios developed by the American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) produced in October 2005 and prudent estimate assumptions based on Company experience. The SSA was determined using the assumptions and methodology prescribed in AG 43 for determining the SSA.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had variable annuities with minimum guaranteed benefits as follows:





Reserves on the Company’s traditional life insurance products are computed using mean reserving methodologies. These methodologies result in the establishment of assets for the amount of the net valuation premiums that are anticipated to be

 received between the policy’s paid-through date to the policy’s next anniversary date. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the gross premium and loading amounts related to these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected), are as follows:


The Company anticipates investment income as a factor in premium deficiency calculation, in accordance with SSAP No. 54, Individual and Group Accident and Health Contracts. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had insurance in force aggregating $14,627,860 and $151,035,580, respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums required by the valuation standards established by the New York Department of Financial Services. The Company established policy reserves of $108,491 and $116,132 to cover these deficiencies at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
9. Capital and Surplus

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had 44,175 shares of 6% non-voting, non-cumulative preferred stock issued and outstanding.  AEGON owns

Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



 38,609 shares and TLIC owns 5,566 shares.  Par value is $10 per share, and the liquidation value is $1,286.72 per share.

The preferred stock shareholders are entitled to receive non-cumulative dividends at the rate of 6% per year of an amount equal to the sum of (1) the par value plus (2) any additional paid-in capital for such preferred stock.  Dividends are payable annually in December.  The amount of dividends unpaid at December 31, 2011 was $430.  The preferred shares have preference as to dividends and upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company.

The Company is subject to limitations, imposed by the State of New York, on the payment of dividends to its stockholders. Generally, dividends during any year may not be paid, without prior regulatory approval, in excess of the lesser of (1) 10 percent of the Company’s statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (2) the Company’s statutory gain from operations before net realized capital gains on investments for the preceding year.  The Company cannot make a dividend payment without the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities in 2012.

On December 21, 2011, the Company paid a preferred stock dividend and a common stock dividend of $3,410 and $296,590, respectively, to its parent companies, AEGON and TLIC.  Of the common stock dividend amount, $76,057 was considered an ordinary dividend and $220,533 was considered an extraordinary dividend.  Of the total $300,000 preferred and common stock dividends, AEGON received $262,200 and TLIC received $37,800.  On December 23, 2010, the Company paid a preferred stock dividend and a common stock dividend of $3,410 and $196,590, respectively, to its parent companies, AEGON and TLIC.  Of the common stock dividend amount, $87,502 was considered an ordinary dividend and $109,088 was considered an extraordinary dividend.  Of the total $200,000 preferred and common stock dividends, AEGON received $174,800 and TLIC received $25,200.

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

On May 2, 2008, the Company received $150,000 from AEGON in exchange for surplus notes.  The Company received approval from the Superintendent of Insurance of the New York Department of Financial Services prior to the issuance of the surplus notes, as well as the December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 interest payments.  These notes are due 20 years from the date of issuance at an interest rate of 6.25% and are subordinate and junior in the right of payment to all obligations and liabilities of the Company.  In the event of liquidation of the Company, full

payment of the surplus notes shall be made before the holders of common stock become entitled to any distribution of the remaining assets of the Company.

Additional information related to the outstanding surplus notes at December 31, 2011 and 2010 is as follows:


The Company held special surplus funds in the amount of $4,796 and $4,581, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for annuitant mortality fluctuations as required under New York Regulation 47, Separate Account and Separate Account Annuities.

10. Securities Lending

The Company participates in an agent-managed securities lending program.  The Company receives collateral equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned domestic securities as of the transaction date.  If the fair value of the collateral is at any time less than 102% of the fair value of the loaned securities, the counterparty is mandated to deliver additional collateral, the fair value of which, together with the collateral already held in connection with the lending transaction, is at least equal to 102% of the fair value of the loaned domestic securities.  In the event the Company loans a foreign security and the denomination of the currency of the collateral is other than the denomination of the currency of the loaned foreign security, the Company receives and maintains collateral equal to 105% of the fair value of the loaned security.

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, securities in the amount of $459,577 and $463,936 were on loan under securities lending agreements. At December 31, 2011, the collateral the Company received from securities lending was in the form of cash and on open terms.  This cash collateral is reinvested and is not available for general corporate purposes. The reinvested cash collateral has a fair value of $475,551 and $475,923 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The contractual maturities of the securities lending collateral positions are as follows:

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



The maturity dates of the reinvested securities lending collateral are as follows:

For securities lending, the Company’s sources of cash that it uses to return the cash collateral is dependent upon the liquidity of the current market conditions.  Under current conditions, the Company has securities with a par value of $476,139 (fair value of $475,551) that are currently tradable securities that could be sold and used to pay for the $476,290 in collateral calls that could come due under a worst-case scenario.

11. Retirement and Compensation Plans

The Company’s employees participate in a qualified defined 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

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



 International Accounting Standards 19 (IAS 19), Accounting for Employee Benefits and based upon actuarial participant benefit calculations. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s eligible annual compensation. Pension expenses were $8, $8 and $8 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The Company’s employees also participate in a defined contribution plan sponsored by AEGON which is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Service Code. Employees of the Company who customarily work at least 1,000 hours during each calendar year and meet the other eligibility requirements are participants of the plan. Participants may elect to contribute up to twenty-five percent of their salary to the plan. The Company will match an amount up to three percent of the participant’s salary.  Participants may direct all of their contributions and plan balances to be invested in a variety of investment options. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The Company’s allocation of benefits expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $6, $6 and $5 respectively.

AEGON sponsors supplemental retirement plans to provide the Company’s senior management with benefits in excess of normal pension benefits.  The plans are noncontributory, and benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation level.  The plans are unfunded and nonqualified under the Internal Revenue Service Code.  In addition, AEGON has established incentive deferred compensation plans for certain key employees of the Company.  The Company’s allocation of expense for these plans for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 was negligible.  AEGON also sponsors an employee stock option plan/stock appreciation rights for employees of the Company and a stock purchase plan for its producers, with the participating affiliated companies establishing their own eligibility criteria, producer contribution limits and company matching formula.  These plans have been accrued or funded as deemed appropriate by management of AEGON and the Company.

In addition to pension benefits, the Company participates in plans sponsored by AEGON that provide postretirement medical, dental and life insurance benefits to employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. Portions of the medical and dental plans are contributory. The postretirement plan expenses are charged to affiliates in accordance with an intercompany cost sharing arrangement.

14. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company had two synthetic GIC contracts in force during 2011.  As of December 1, 2011, these contracts were terminated.  There were no funding requirements during 2011.  The Company had issued synthetic GIC contracts to benefit plan sponsors on assets totaling $179,759 as of December 31, 2010.  A synthetic GIC is an off-balance sheet fee-based product sold primarily to tax qualified plans.  The plan sponsor retains ownership and control of the related plan assets.  The Company provides book value benefit responsiveness in the event that qualified plan benefit requests exceed plan cash flows.  In certain contracts, the Company agrees to make advances to meet benefit payment needs and earns a market interest rate on these advances.  The periodically adjusted contract-crediting rate is the means by which investment and benefit responsive experience is passed through to participants.  In return for the book value benefit responsive 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.  The assets relating to such contracts are not recognized in the Company’s statutory-basis financial statements. A contract reserve was established for the possibility of unexpected benefit payments at below market interest rates of $1,000 at December 31, 2010, but no reserve is established as of December 31, 2011 due to the termination of the contracts.

The Company has contingent commitments of $23,554 and $16,734, at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, to provide additional funding for joint ventures, partnerships and limited liability companies, which includes LIHTC commitments of $8,603 at December 31, 2011.  There were no LIHTC commitments at December 31, 2010.

There were no private placement commitments outstanding as of December 31, 2011 or 2010.

There were securities in the amount of $20,491 being acquired on a “to be announced” (TBA) basis at December 31, 2011.  There were no securities being acquired on a TBA basis at December 31, 2010.

The Company may pledge assets as collateral for derivative transactions. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company has pledged invested assets with a carrying value of $36,839 and $41,357, respectively, and fair value of $41,209 and $42,175, respectively, in conjunction with these transactions.

As mentioned in Note 1, amendments to SSAP No. 91R during 2010 resulted in the cash collateral received from derivative counterparties being recorded on the

TFLIC 2011 SEC.doc 
 
 

 
Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)
(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share Data)



 Company’s balance sheet.  The amount of cash collateral posted as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, was $87,702 and $35,073.  In addition, securities in the amount of $14,724 and $12,315 were also posted to the Company as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, which were not included in the financials of the Company.  In accordance with amended SSAP No. 91R, noncash collateral is not to be recognized by the recipient unless that collateral is sold or repledged or the counterparty defaults.

The Company is a party to legal proceedings involving a variety of issues incidental to its business, including class actions.  Lawsuits may be brought in nearly any federal or state court in the United States or in an arbitral forum.  In addition, there continues to be significant federal and state regulatory activity relating to financial services companies.  The Company’s legal proceedings are subject to many variables, and given its complexity and scope, outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. Although legal proceedings sometimes include substantial demands for compensatory and punitive damages, and injunctive relief, it is management’s opinion that damages arising from such demands will not be material to the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance companies for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of insolvency of other insurance companies.  Assessments are charged to operations when received by the Company except where right of offset against other taxes paid is allowed by law. Amounts available for future offsets are recorded as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet. The future obligation for known insolvencies has been accrued based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association.  Potential future obligations for unknown insolvencies are not determinable by the Company and are not required to be accrued for financial reporting purposes.  The Company has established a reserve of $34,754 and $24,798 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies.  The Company had an offsetting premium tax benefit of $16,319 and $16,000 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The guaranty fund expense (benefit) was $9,674, $8,079 and $(42) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

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

The Company did not participate in repurchase or dollar repurchase agreements at December 31, 2011 or 2010.

In the course of the Company’s asset management, securities are sold and reacquired within 30 days of the sale date to enhance the Company’s yield on its investment portfolio. There were no securities of NAIC designation 3 or below sold during 2011 and reacquired within 30 days of the sale date.

16. Reconciliation to Statutory Statement

The 2008 Annual Statement did not include the appropriate tax effect on both the mark to market income on a derivative and the associated statutory and tax reserves related to the Company’s variable annuities as of December 31, 2008.  This item was adjusted for in the 2008 financial statements, and was corrected through federal income tax expense in the 2009 Annual Statement.  The following is a reconciliation of amounts previously reported to the New York Department of Financial Services in the 2009 Annual Statement, to those reported in the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements:


There were no reconciling items between amounts reported to the New York Department of Financial Services in the 2011 or 2010 Annual Statement and those reported in the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements for 2011 or 2010.




17. Subsequent Events

The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occurred between the balance sheet date and the date when the financial statements are available to be issued, April 11, 2012, provided they give evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date (Type I).  Events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the balance sheet date are disclosed, but do not result in an adjustment of the financial statements themselves (Type II).  As of April 11, 2012, the Company has not identified any Type I or Type II subsequent events for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Item 29.                 Indemnification

Provisions exist under the New York Law, the Articles of Incorporation of Transamerica and the Amended and Restated By-Laws of Transamerica whereby Transamerica may indemnify certain persons against certain payments incurred by such persons.  The following excerpts contain the substance of these provisions.
 
New York Business Corporation Law

Section 722.                      Authorization for indemnification of directors and officers

(a)           A corporation may indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding (other than one by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor), whether civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or officer of the corporation served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, was a director or officer of the corporation, or served such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

(b)           The termination of any such civil or criminal action or proceeding by judgment, settlement, conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a presumption that any such director or officer did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.


(c)           A corporation may indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he, this testator or intestate, is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any other corporation of any type or kind, domestic or foreign, of any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in connection with an appeal therein, if such director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification under this paragraph shall be made in respect of (1) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of, or (2) any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action was brought, or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnify for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.

Amended and Restated Bylaws

ARTICLE II

DIRECTORS AND THEIR MEETINGS

SEC. 7.                      Any person made a party to any action, suit, or proceeding by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate, is or was a director, officer, or employee of the Company or of any Company which he served as such at the request of the Company, shall be indemnified by the Company against the reasonable expenses, including attorney's fees, actually and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, or in connection with appeal therein, except in relation to matters as to which it shall be adjudged in such action, suit or proceeding that such officer, Director, or employee is liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duties.  The Company may also reimburse to any Director, officer, or employee the reasonable costs of settlement of any such action, suit, or proceeding, if it shall be found by a majority of a committee composed of the Directors not involved in the matter of controversy (whether or not a quorum) that it was in the interest of the Company that such settlement be made and that such Director, officer or employee was not guilty of negligence or misconduct.  The amount to be paid, in each instance, pursuant to action of the Board of Directors, and the stockholders shall be given notice thereof in accordance with applicable provisions of law.  Such right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which such Director, officer, or employee may be entitled.


RULE 484 UNDERTAKING

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of Transamerica Financial Life pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Transamerica Financial Life 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 Transamerica Financial Life of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Transamerica Financial Life in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, Transamerica Financial Life 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 of 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.
