IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE POLICY
| FEES AND EXPENSES | Location in Prospectus | |||||||||||
| Charges for Early Withdrawals | If you withdraw (or surrender) money from your Policy during the first 15 Policy years, you will be assessed a surrender charge. The maximum surrender charge depends on when your Policy was issued, but will not be greater than $57.00 per $1,000 of the Policy’s initial specified amount (or increase in specified amount).
For example, if you purchased a Policy with an initial specified amount of $100,000 and were to withdraw $50,000 during the surrender charge period, the maximum surrender charge would be $57,000.
|
Fee Tables Charges and Deductions | ||||||||||
| Transaction Charges | In addition to surrender charges for early withdrawals, you may also be charged for other transactions. There may be front-end loads on premium payments, charges for transfers between investment options, and administrative charges for withdrawals. We reserve the right to deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery and wire service fees.
|
Fee Tables Charges and Deductions
Cash Withdrawals
| ||||||||||
| Pro Rata Decrease Charge | If you decrease the specified amount during the first 15 Policy years we will deduct a decrease charge from your cash value equal to the surrender charge (as of the date of the decrease) applicable to that portion of the specified amount that is decreased.
|
Fee Tables Charges and Deductions
| ||||||||||
| Ongoing Fees and Expenses (annual charges) | In addition to surrender charges and transaction charges, an investment in the Policy is subject to certain ongoing fees and expenses, including fees and expenses covering the cost of insurance under the Policy and the cost of optional benefits available under the Policy, and that such fees and expenses are set based on characteristics of the insured (e.g., age, sex, and rating classification). You should view the schedule page of your Policy for rates applicable to your Policy.
These fees and expenses do not reflect any advisory fees paid to financial intermediaries from the Policy Value or other assets of the owner; if such charges were reflected, your fees and expenses would be higher.
You will also bear expenses associated with the portfolios under the Policy to which you have allocated cash value, as shown in the following table:

Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy | ||
| Not a Short-Term Investment | This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash.
The Policy is designed to help meet long-term financial objectives by paying a death benefit to family members or other beneficiaries. The benefits of tax deferral also mean the Policy is more beneficial to investors with a long-term investment horizon. You may pay substantial charges if you take withdrawals or fully surrender the Policy during the surrender charge period.
| |||
| Risks Associated with Investment Options |
● An investment in the Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance. The investment performance of your Policy can vary depending on the performance of the investment options that you choose. ● Each investment option (including the fixed account option) has its own unique risks. ● You should review the investment options carefully before making an investment decision.
| |||
| Insurance Company Risks | An investment in the Policy is subject to the risks related to Transamerica. Any obligations (including under the fixed account option), guarantees, and benefits under the Policy are subject to our claims-paying ability. More information about Transamerica, including our financial strength ratings, is available by visiting tlic.transamerica.com or calling toll-free (800) 851-9777.
|
Principal Risks of Investing in the Policy | ||

| Contract Lapse | Insufficient premium payments, poor investment performance, withdrawals, and unpaid loans or loan interest may cause the Policy to lapse. There are costs associated with reinstating a lapsed Policy. Death benefits will not be paid if the Policy has lapsed.
|
|||||
| RESTRICTIONS |
Location in Prospectus | |||||
| Investments |
● There may be a $25 charge for each transfer in excess of 12 transfers per Policy year. ● Transfers from the fixed account option may be subject to significant restrictions related to the number of transfers per Policy Year and amounts transferred. ● The fixed account option may not be available for investment depending on when you applied for your Policy and where it was issued. ● We reserve the right to remove or substitute portfolios as investment options under the Policy.

State Variations
Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Portfolios | ||||
| Optional Benefits |
● Supplemental insurance benefits are available only to insureds within certain age ranges, are subject to minimum and/or maximum specified amounts, and are subject to termination conditions. ● Certain benefits cannot be elected after Policy purchase. ● Certain benefits cannot be elected in combination with other benefits. ● We stop offering an optional benefit at any time. ● If you elect to pay third party advisory fees from your contract value, then this deduction will reduce the death benefits and other guaranteed benefits and may be subject to a federal and state income tax and a 10% federal penalty tax.

| TAXES |
Location in Prospectus | |||||
| Tax Implications | You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Policy. If you purchased the Policy through a tax-qualified plan or individual retirement account (IRA), you do not get any additional tax deferral. Earnings on your Policy are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when you withdraw them, and you may have to pay a penalty if you take a withdrawal before age 59½.

| CONFLICT OF INTEREST |
Location in Prospectus | |||||
| Investment Professional Compensation | Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling this Policy to You, in the form of commissions, additional cash benefits (e.g., bonuses), and non-cash compensation. Our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) is the principal underwriter, may share the revenue we earn on this Policy with Your investment professional’s firm.

Revenues We Receive Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Policies | ||||
| Exchanges | Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new policy in place of the one you already own. You should only exchange your Policy if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both policies, that it is preferable for you to purchase the new policy rather than continue to own your existing Policy. | Compensation to Broker-Dealers Selling the Policies
