service charges, rider fees, premium taxes, transfer fees, and any other charges, if any.

 

Adjusted Account Value— The account value increased or decreased by any excess interest adjustment.

Annuity Date— The date upon which annuity payments are to commence. This date may be any date at least thirty days after the contract date and may not be later than the last day of the contract month following the month after the annuitant attains age 85, except as expressly allowed by Transamerica.

SUMMARY

 

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

 

1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

 

The flexible premium deferred variable annuity contract offered by Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company (Transamerica, we, us, or our) provides a way for you to invest on a tax-deferred basis in the following investment choices: various subaccounts of the variable account and the fixed account of Transamerica. The contract is intended to accumulate money for retirement or other long-term investment purposes; and for persons who have maximized their use of other retirement savings methods, such as 401(k) plans. The tax-deferred feature is most attractive to people in high federal and state tax brackets. The tax deferral features of variable annuities are unnecessary when purchased to fund a qualified plan.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

2. PURCHASE PAYMENTS

 

You can add as little as $50 at any time during the accumulation phase. We will not accept purchase payments for new contracts.

 

3. INVESTMENT CHOICES

 

You can allocate your purchase payments to one or more of the following investment choices described in the underlying fund prospectuses:

Table of Contents

Contract owners who purchased the contract after January 22, 2001, may only invest in the Service Class sub-accounts, with the exception of the Money Market Sub-Account and the Transamerica Equity Sub-account. The Initial Class sub-accounts (other than the Money Market Sub-account and Transamerica Equity Sub-account) are only available to contract owners that purchased the contract before January 22, 2001. The Service Class has a Rule 12b-1 Plan and the Initial Class does not.

 

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

 

You can also allocate your purchase payments to the fixed account.

 

We currently allow you to transfer money between any of the investment choices during the accumulation phase. We reserve the right to impose a $10 fee for each transfer in excess of 18 transfers per contract year and to impose restrictions and limitations on transfers.

 

4. PERFORMANCE

 

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

 

5. EXPENSES

 

Note: The following section on expenses and the Annuity Contract Fee Table may only apply to contracts issued after May 1, 2002. See Appendix C for older contracts. Please see your contract to determine your specific coverage and expenses.

 

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

 

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

 

Full surrenders, partial surrenders, and transfers from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account may also be subject to an excess interest adjustment, which may increase or decrease the amount you receive. This adjustment may also apply to amounts applied to an annuity payment from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account.

 

We deduct daily mortality and expense risk fees and administrative charges at an annual rate of 1.30% (if you choose the “Return of Premium Death Benefit”); 1.50% (if you choose the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit); or 2.10% (if you choose the “Double Enhanced Death Benefit”) from the assets in each subaccount.

 

During the accumulation phase, we deduct an annual service charge of no more than $35 from the account value on each contract anniversary and at the time of surrender. The charge is waived if either the account value or the sum of all purchase payments, minus all partial surrenders, is at least $50,000.

 

Upon total surrender, payment of a death benefit, or when annuity payments begin, we will deduct state premium taxes, which currently range from 0% to 3.50%.

 

If you elect the Initial Payment Guarantee, a daily fee equal to an effective annual rate of 1.25% of the unit value in the subaccounts will be applied after the annuity date and throughout the income phase.

 

If you elect the Additional Death Benefit Rider, there is an annual fee during the accumulation phase of 0.25% of the account value.

 

6


Table of Contents

If you elect the Additional Death Benefit Rider II, there is an annual fee during the accumulation phase equal to 0.55% of the account value.

 

If you elect the Liquidity Rider, there is a daily fee equal to an effective annual rate of 0.40% of the unit value in the subaccounts. This fee is only charged for the first four contract years.

 

If you elect the Premium Accelerator Rider, a daily fee equal to an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the unit value in the subaccounts will be applied. This fee is only deducted for the first nine contract years. The value of the net assets of the subaccounts will reflect the management fee and other expenses incurred by the underlying funds/portfolios.

 

6. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

 

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

 

10% of your purchase payments less surrenders deemed to be from purchase payments; or

 

any gains in the contract.

 

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

 

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

 

If you have account value in the fixed account, you may also take out any cumulative interest credited free of excess interest adjustments.

 

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

 

Surrenders are not generally permitted during the income phase unless you elect the Life with Emergency CashSM annuity payment option.

 

7. ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

 

The contract allows you to receive income under one of several annuity payment options. You may choose from fixed payment options, variable payment options, or a combination of both. If you select a variable payment option, the dollar amount of your payments may go up or down. However, the Initial Payment Guarantee is available as an optional rider and it guarantees a minimum amount for each payment.

 

8. DEATH BENEFIT

 

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

 

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

 

The contract generally offers a choice of one of the following guaranteed minimum death benefits:

 

Double Enhanced;

 

Annual Step-Up; or

 

Return of Premium.

 

Charges are lower for the Return of Premium Death Benefit.

 

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

 

9. TAXES

 

Earnings, if any, are generally not taxed until taken out. If you take money out of a nonqualified contract during the accumulation phase, earnings

 

7


Table of Contents

come out first for federal tax purposes, and are taxed as ordinary income. If you are younger than 59½ when you take money out, you may incur a 10% federal penalty tax on the taxable earnings. For nonqualified and certain qualified contracts, payments during the income phase may be considered partly a return of your original investment so that part of each payment may not be taxable as income. For qualified contracts, payments during the income phase are, in many cases, considered as all taxable income.

 

10. ADDITIONAL FEATURES

 

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

 

You can arrange to have money automatically sent to you monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually while your contract is in the accumulation phase. This feature is referred to as the “Systematic Withdrawal Option” or “SWO.” Amounts you receive may be included in your gross income, and in certain circumstances, may be subject to penalty taxes.

 

You can elect an optional rider at the time of annuitization that guarantees your variable annuity payments will never be less than 50% of the initial variable annuity payment. This feature is called the “Initial Payment Guarantee.” There is an extra charge for this rider.

 

You can elect one of two optional riders that might pay an additional amount on top of the contract death benefit, in certain circumstances. These features are called the “Additional Death Benefit Rider” or “ADB” and the “Additional Death Benefit Rider II” or “ADBII”. There is an extra charge for these riders.

 

You can elect an optional rider that reduces the number of years each purchase payment is subject to surrender charges. You can only elect this rider at the time you purchase your contract. This feature is called the “Liquidity Rider”. There is an extra charge for this rider.

 

You can elect an optional rider that adds a premium accelerator to the account value. You can only elect this rider at the time you purchase your contract. This feature is called the “premium accelerator”. There is an extra charge for this rider.

 

Under certain medically related circumstances, you may surrender all or part of the account value without a surrender charge and excess interest adjustment. This feature is called the “Nursing Care and Terminal Withdrawal Option.”

 

Under certain unemployment circumstances, you may surrender all or a portion of the account value free of surrender charges and excess interest adjustments. This feature is called the “Unemployment Waiver.”

 

You may generally make transfers and/or change the allocation of additional purchase payments by telephone. We may restrict or eliminate this feature.

 

You can arrange to automatically transfer money (at least $250 per transfer) monthly or quarterly from certain investment options into one or more subaccounts. This feature is known as “Dollar Cost Averaging” or “DCA.”

 

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

 

These features may not be available for all contracts, may vary for certain contracts, and may not be suitable for your particular situation. Additionally, these features may not be offered in the future, as determined by Transamerica.

11. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Right to Cancel Period. You may return your contract for a refund, but only if you return it within a prescribed period, which is generally at least 10 days (after you receive the contract), or whatever longer time may be required by state law. The amount of the refund will generally be the purchase payments paid and accumulated gains or losses in the variable account. Please note, we will not credit interest on amounts that you allocate to the fixed account if you return your contract for a refund during the right to cancel period. We will pay the refund within 7 days after we receive written notice of cancellation and the returned contract within the applicable time period. The contract will then be deemed void.

 

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

 

Who should purchase the Contract? This contract is designed for people seeking long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets, generally for retirement or other long-term purposes.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

 

Example


   1 Year

   3 Years

   5 Years

   10 Years

If the contract is surrendered at the end of the applicable time period.

   $ 1279    $ 2264    $ 2813    $ 5399

If the contract is annuitized at the end of the applicable time period Or if you do not surrender your contract.

   $ 579    $ 1724    $ 2813    $ 5399

 

(1) During the accumulation phase the fees may be different that those described in the Annuity Contract Fee Table. See Section 5, Expenses.

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

 

If you select the Life with Emergency CashSM annuity payment option, you will be subject to a surrender charge after the annuity date. See Section 5, Expenses.

 

(3) The transfer fee, if any is imposed, applies to each contract, regardless of how account value is allocated among the variable account and the fixed account. There is no fee for the first 18 transfers per year. For additional transfers, Transamerica may charge a fee of $10 per transfer.

 

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

 

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

 

(6) The fee for the “Double Enhanced Death Benefit” (0.80%) is in addition to the mortality and expense risk fee, for a total annual mortality and expense risk fee of (1.95%).

 

(7) The fee for the “Annual-Step Death Benefit” (0.20%) is in addition to the mortality and expense risk fee, for a total annual mortality and expense risk fee of (1.35%).

 

(8) The fee for the “Liquidity Rider” (0.40%) is in addition to the mortality and expense risk fee of (1.15%). The fee is only charged in the first four contract years.

 

(9) The Premium Accelerator fee is only deducted in the first nine contract years.

 

(10) The Double Enhanced Death Benefit and Liquidity Rider fees are included herein.

 

(11) The annual Additional Death Benefit Rider fee is 0.25% of the account value and is deducted only during the accumulation phase.

 

(12) The annual Additional Death Benefit Rider II fee is 0.55% of the account value and is deducted only during the accumulation phase.

 

(13) The fee table information relating to the underlying funds/portfolios is for the year ending December 31, 2003 (unless otherwise noted) and was provided to Transamerica by the underlying funds, their investment advisers or managers, and Transamerica has not and cannot independently verify the accuracy or completeness of such information. Actual expenses of the portfolios in future years and the current year may be greater or less than those shown in the Table.

Table of Contents
1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

 

This prospectus describes the Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage® Variable Annuity contract issued by Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company. Contracts may have different features than those described in this prospectus (such as different death benefits or annuity payments) and different charges. These differences are noted in Appendix C.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The contract is a “variable” annuity because the value of your investments can go up or down based on the performance of your investment choices. If you invest in the variable account, the amount of money you are able to accumulate in your contract during the accumulation phase depends upon the performance of your investment choices. You could lose the amount you allocate to the variable account. The amount of annuity payments you receive during the income phase from the variable account also depends upon the investment performance of your investment choices for the income phase. However, if you annuitize under the Initial Payment Guarantee, then Transamerica will guarantee a minimum amount of your annuity payments. There is an extra charge for this rider.

 

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

 

2. PURCHASE PAYMENTS

 

Contract Issue Requirements

 

Transamerica will not accept purchase payments for new contracts.

 

Additional Purchase Payments

 

You are not required to make any additional purchase payments. However, you can make additional purchase payments as often as you like during the accumulation phase. Additional purchase payments must be at least $50. We will credit additional purchase payments to your contract as of the business day we receive your purchase payment and required information.

 

You should make checks for purchase payments payable only to Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company and send them to the Transamerica Annuity Service Center. Your check must be honored in order for Transamerica to pay any associated payments and benefits due under the contract.

 

12


Table of Contents

Maximum Total Purchase Payments

 

Cumulative purchase payments above $1,000,000 for issue ages 0 to 80 require prior approval by Transamerica. For issue ages over 80, cumulative purchase payments above $500,000 require prior approval by Transamerica.

 

Allocation of Purchase Payments

 

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

 

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

 

You may change allocations for future additional purchase payments by sending us written instructions or by telephone, subject to the limitations described under “Telephone Transactions.” The allocation change will apply to purchase payments received on or after the date we receive the change request.

 

You could lose the amount you allocate to the variable subaccounts.

 

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

 

Account Value

 

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

Contract owners who purchased a contract after January 22, 3001, may only invest in the Service Class sub-accounts, with the exception of the Money Market Sub-account and the Transamerica Equity Sub-account. The Initial Class sub-accounts (other than the Money Market Sub-account and Transamerica Equity Sub-account) are only available to contract owners that purchased the contract before January 22, 2001.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

We reserve the right to limit the number of subaccounts you are invested in at any one time.

 

The Fixed Account

 

Purchase payments allocated and amounts transferred to the fixed account become part of Transamerica’s general account. Interests in the general account have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”), nor is the general account registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, neither the general account nor any interests therein are generally subject to the provisions of the 1933 or 1940 Acts.

 

We guarantee that the interest credited to the fixed account will not be less than the guaranteed minimum effective annual interest rate shown on your contract specification page (the “guaranteed

 

14


Table of Contents

minimum”). We determine credited rates, which are guaranteed for at least one year, in our sole discretion. You bear the risk that we will not credit interest greater than the guaranteed minimum. At the end of the guaranteed period option you selected, the value in that guaranteed period option will automatically be transferred into a new guaranteed period option of the same length (or the next shorter period if the same period is no longer offered) at the current interest rate for that period. You can transfer to another investment choice by giving us notice within 30 days before the end of the expiring guaranteed period.

 

Full and partial surrenders and transfers from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account are generally subject to an excess interest adjustment (except at the end of the guaranteed period). This adjustment will also be made to amounts that you apply to an annuity payment option. This adjustment may increase or decrease the amount of interest credited to your contract. The excess interest adjustment will not decrease the interest credited to your contract below the guaranteed minimum, however.

 

We also guarantee that upon full surrender your cash value attributable to the fixed account will not be less than the amount required by the applicable nonforfeiture law at the time the contract is issued.

 

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

 

We reserve the right to refuse any purchase payment to the fixed account.

 

Transfers

 

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

 

Transfers out of a guaranteed period option of the fixed account are limited to the following:

 

Transfers at the end of a guaranteed period. No excess interest adjustment will apply.

 

Transfers of amounts equal to interest credited. This may affect your overall interest-crediting rate, because transfers are deemed to come from the oldest purchase payment first.

 

Other than at the end of a guaranteed period, transfers of amounts from the guaranteed period option in excess of amounts equal to interest credited, are subject to an excess interest adjustment. If it is a negative adjustment, the maximum amount you can transfer in any one contract year is 25% of the amount in that guaranteed period option, less any previous transfers during the current contract year. If it is a positive adjustment, we do not limit the amount that you can transfer.

 

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

 

We reserve the right to prohibit transfers to the fixed account if we are crediting the guaranteed minimum.

 

The number of transfers permitted may be limited and a $10 charge per transfer may apply. During the income phase, you may transfer values out of any subaccount; however, you cannot transfer values out of the fixed account. The minimum amount that can be transferred during

 

15


Table of Contents

this phase is the lesser of $10 of monthly income, or the entire monthly income of the annuity units in the subaccount from which the transfer is being made.

 

Transfers may be made by telephone, subject to the limitations described below under “Telephone Transactions.”

 

Disruptive Trading and Market Timing

 

Statement of Policy. This contract was not designed for the use of programmed, large, frequent, or short-term transfers. Such transfers may be disruptive to the underlying fund portfolios and increase transaction costs.

 

Programmed, large, frequent, or short-term transfers among the subaccounts or between the subaccounts and the fixed account can cause risks with adverse effects for other contract owners (and beneficiaries and underlying fund portfolios). 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 fund portfolio are made at unit values that do not reflect an accurate value for the underlying fund portfolio’s investments (some “market timers” attempt to do this through methods known as “time-zone arbitrage” and “liquidity arbitrage”); (2) an adverse effect on portfolio management, such as impeding a portfolio manager’s ability to sustain an investment objective, causing the underlying fund portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case, or causing an underlying fund portfolio to liquidate investments prematurely (or otherwise at an inopportune time) in order to pay withdrawals or transfers out of the underlying fund portfolio; and (3) increased brokerage and administrative expenses. These costs are borne by all contract owners invested in those subaccounts, not just those making the transfers.

 

Detection. We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and other transfers and do not grant exceptions thereto. 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 with different policies and procedures may invest in the underlying fund portfolios, we cannot guarantee all harmful trading will be detected or that an underlying fund portfolio will not suffer harm from programmed, large, frequent, or short-term transfers among subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies.

 

Deterrence. If we determine you are engaged in market timing or other 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 contract owners. As described below, restrictions may take various forms, and may include permanent loss of expedited transfer privileges. We consider transfers by telephone, fax, overnight mail, or the Internet to be “expedited” transfers. 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 purchase payment or transfer request from any person without prior notice, if, in our judgment, the payment or transfer, or series of transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund portfolio’s operations, if an underlying fund portfolio would reject or has rejected our purchase order, or because of a history of large or frequent transfers. We may impose other restrictions on transfers, such as requiring written transfer requests with an original signature conveyed only via U.S. Mail for all transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any owner who, in our view, has abused, or appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege. We may, at any time and without prior notice, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, impose holding

 

16


Table of Contents

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. For all of these purposes, we may aggregate two or more contract that we believe are connected.

 

In addition to our internal policies and procedures, we will administer your contract to comply with 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 portfolio. To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the underlying fund portfolios.

 

4. PERFORMANCE

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Appendix B to this prospectus contains past performance information that you may find useful. It is divided into various parts, depending upon the type of performance information shown. Past performance is no indication of future performance; future performance will vary and future results will not be the same as the results shown.

 

5. EXPENSES

 

Note: The following section on expenses and the Annuity Contract Fee Table and expense examples may only apply to contracts issued after May 1, 2002. See Appendix C for older contracts. Please see your contract to determine your specific expenses.

 

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

 

Surrender Charges

 

During the accumulation phase, you can surrender part or all of the cash value (restrictions may apply to qualified contracts). We may apply a surrender charge to compensate us for expenses relating to

 

17


Table of Contents

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

 

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

 

Number of Years
Since Purchase
Payment Date


  

Surrender Charge

(as a percentage of
purchase payment
surrendered)


0 - 1

   7%

   6%

4 - 5

   5%

   4%

   3%

more than 7

   0    

 

For example, assume your purchase payment is $100,000 and your account value is $106,000 at the beginning of the second contract year and you surrender $30,000. Since that amount is more than your free amount ($10,000), you would pay a surrender charge of $1,400 on the remaining $20,000 (7% of $30,000 - $10,000).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Surrender charges are waived under the Nursing Care and Terminal Withdrawal Option or the Unemployment Waiver.

 

Keep in mind that surrenders may be taxable, and if made before age 59½, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. For tax purposes, surrenders from nonqualified contracts are considered to come from earnings first. Under qualified contracts, surrenders may be prorated between taxable and nontaxable amounts.

 

Life with Emergency CashSM Surrender Charge

 

If you select the Life with Emergency CashSM annuity payment option, then you can surrender your contract even after annuity payments have begun. However, there is a surrender charge during the first four years after the annuity date. The following schedule shows the current surrender charge:

 

Number of Years

Since Annuity Date


  

Surrender Charge

(as a percentage of
adjusted account value)


0 – 1

   4%

1 – 2

   3%

2 – 3

   2%

3 – 4

   1%

more than 4

   0%

 

Note carefully the following three things about this surrender charge:

 

  this surrender charge is measured from the annuity date and not from the purchase payment date;

 

18


Table of Contents
  this surrender charge is a percentage of the adjusted account value applied to the Life with Emergency CashSM annuity payment option, and not a percentage of purchase payment; and

 

  under this payment option, there is no surrender charge free amount.

 

Excess Interest Adjustment

 

Surrenders and transfers from the fixed account may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. This adjustment could retroactively reduce the interest credited in the fixed account to the guaranteed minimum or increase the amount credited. This adjustment may also apply to amounts applied to an annuity payment option. See “The Fixed Account” in Section 3.

 

Mortality and Expense Risk Fees

 

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

 

During the accumulation phase, for the Return of Premium Death Benefit the daily mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.15%; for the Annual Step-Up Death Benefit, the mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.35%; and for the Double Enhanced Death Benefit, the mortality and expense risk fee is at an annual rate of 1.95%. During the income phase, the mortality and expense risk fee is always at an annual rate of 1.10%.

 

If this charge does not cover our actual costs, we absorb the loss. Conversely, if the charge more than covers actual costs, the excess is added to our surplus. We expect to profit from this charge. We may use any profit for any proper purpose, including distribution expenses.

 

Administrative Charges

 

We deduct a daily administrative charge to cover the costs of administering the contract (including certain distribution–related expense). This charge is equal to an annual rate of 0.15% per year of the daily net asset value of the variable account during both the accumulation phase and the income phase.

 

In addition, an annual service charge of $35 (but not more than 2% of the account value) is charged on each contract anniversary and at surrender. The service charge is waived if your account value or the sum of your purchase payments, less all partial surrenders, is at least $50,000.

 

Premium Taxes

 

Some states assess premium taxes on the purchase payments you make. We currently do not deduct for these taxes at the time you make a purchase payment. However, we will deduct the total amount of premium taxes, if any, from the account value when:

 

you begin receiving annuity payments;

 

you surrender the contract; or

 

a death benefit is paid.

 

Generally, premium taxes range from 0% to 3.50%, depending on the state.

 

Federal, State and Local Taxes

 

We may in the future deduct charges from the contract for any taxes we incur because of the contract. However, no deductions are being made at the present time.

 

19


Table of Contents

Transfer Fee

 

You are allowed to make 18 free transfers per year before the annuity date. If you make more than 18 transfers per year, we reserve the right to charge $10 for each additional transfer. Purchase payments, Asset Rebalancing and Dollar Cost Averaging transfers do not count as one of your 18 free transfers per year. All transfer requests made at the same time are treated as a single request.

 

Initial Payment Guarantee

 

If you elect the Initial Payment Guarantee at the time of annuitization, there is a daily rider fee currently at an effective annual rate of 1.25% of the unit value of the subaccounts. This fee may be higher or lower at the time you annuitize and elect the rider.

 

Additional Death Benefit Rider

 

If you elect the Additional Death Benefit Rider, there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.25% of the account value. The rider fee will be deducted on each rider anniversary and upon termination of the rider (once we have received all necessary regulatory approvals) during the accumulation phase.

 

Additional Death Benefit Rider II

 

If you elect the Additional Death Benefit Rider II, there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.55%. The rider fee will be deducted on each rider anniversary and upon termination of the rider (once we have received all necessary regulatory approvals) during the accumulation phase.

 

Liquidity Rider

 

If you elect the Liquidity Rider, a daily fee equal to an effective annual rate of 0.40% of the unit value in the subaccounts is deducted in calculating the variable accumulation unit values. The rider fee is only charged for the first four contract years.

 

Premium Accelerator

 

If you elect the Premium Accelerator, a daily fee at an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the unit value of the subaccounts will be applied. This fee is only deducted for the first nine contract years.

 

Portfolio Fees and Expenses

 

The value of the assets in each subaccount will reflect the fees and expenses paid by the underlying fund/portfolio. The minimum and maximum fund expenses for the previous calendar year are found in the “Fee Table” section of this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the underlying funds/portfolios for more information.

 

6. ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY

 

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

 

by making a surrender (either a complete or partial surrender); or

 

by taking systematic payouts.

 

Surrenders

 

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

 

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

 

After one year, you may take up to the greater of 10% of your purchase payments (less partial surrenders deemed to be from purchase payments) or any gains in the contract free of surrender charges once each contract year. Remember that any surrender you take will reduce the account

 

20


Table of Contents

value, and the amount of the death benefit. See Section 8, Death Benefit, for more details. A surrender may also reduce other benefits.

 

Surrenders may be subject to a surrender charge. Surrenders from the fixed account may also be subject to an excess interest adjustment. Income taxes, federal tax penalties and certain restrictions may apply to any surrenders you make.

 

Surrenders from qualified contracts may be restricted or prohibited.

 

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

 

Delay of Payment and Transfers

 

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

 

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

 

an emergency exists as defined by the SEC or the SEC requires that trading be restricted; or

 

the SEC permits a delay for the protection of owners.

 

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

 

Federal laws designed to counter terrorism and prevent money laundering by criminals might in certain circumstances require us to reject a purchase payment and/or freeze a contract owner’s account. If these laws apply in a particular situation, we would not be allowed to pay any request for withdrawals, surrenders, or death benefits, make transfers, or continue making annuity payments absent instructions from the appropriate federal regulator. We may also be required to provide information about you and your contract to government agencies or departments.

 

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

 

Excess Interest Adjustment

 

Money that you transfer out of or surrender from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. At the time you request a transfer or surrender (either full or partial), if interest rates set by Transamerica have risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value on surrender. However, if interest rates have fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value on surrender or transfer.

 

Any amount surrendered in excess of the cumulative interest credited is generally subject to an excess interest adjustment.

 

An excess interest adjustment may also be made on amounts applied to an annuity payment option.

 

There will be no excess interest adjustment on any of the following:

 

surrenders or transfers of cumulative interest credited;

 

Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option surrenders;

 

Unemployment Waiver surrenders;

 

surrenders to satisfy any minimum distribution requirements; and

 

21


Table of Contents
Systematic Withdrawal Option payments, which do not exceed cumulative interest credited at the time of payment.

 

Please note that in these circumstances you will not receive a higher cash value if interest rates have fallen nor will you receive a lower cash value if interest rates have risen.

 

The excess interest adjustment may vary for certain contracts and may not be applicable for all contracts.

 

7. ANNUITY PAYMENTS (THE INCOME PHASE)

 

You choose the annuity date. You can change this date by giving us written notice 30 days before the current annuity date. The new annuity date must be at least 30 days after we receive notice of the change. The latest annuity date generally cannot be after the contract month following the month in which the annuitant attains age 85 (in certain cases, we may allow the date to be up to the last day of the month following the month in which the annuitant attains age 95). The earliest annuity date is 30 days after you purchase your contract. Before the annuity date, if the annuitant is alive, you may choose an annuity payment option or change your election. If the annuitant dies before the annuity date, the death benefit is payable in a lump sum or under one of the annuity payment options (unless the surviving spouse continues the contract).

 

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

 

Annuity Payment Options

 

The contract provides several annuity payments that are described below (these options are not available under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit). You may choose any combination of annuity payments. We will use your adjusted account value to provide these annuity payments. If the adjusted account value on the annuity date is less than $2,000, we reserve the right to pay it in one lump sum in lieu of applying it under an annuity payment. You can receive annuity payments monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually. (We reserve the right to change the frequency if payments would be less than $50.)

 

Unless you choose to receive variable payments, the amount of each payment will be set on the annuity date and will not change. You may, however, choose to receive variable payments. The dollar amount of the first variable payment will be determined in accordance with the annuity payment rates set forth in the applicable table contained in the contract. The dollar amount of additional variable payments will vary based on the investment performance of the subaccount(s). The dollar amount of each variable payment after the first may increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exactly matched the assumed investment return of 5% at all times, the amount of each variable annuity payment would remain equal. If actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exceeds the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would increase. Conversely, if actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) is lower than the assumed investment return, the amount of the variable annuity payments would decrease. Please note that these changes only occur annually under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit and Initial Payment Guarantee.

 

A charge for premium taxes and an excess interest adjustment may be made when annuity payments begin.

 

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

 

Payment Option 1—Income for a Specified Period. We will make level payments only for a fixed

 

22


Table of Contents

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

 

Payment Option 2—Income of a Specified Amount. Payments are made for any specified amount until the amount applied to this option, with interest, is exhausted. This will be a series of level payments followed by a smaller final payment.

 

Payment Option 3—Life Income. You may choose between:

 

No Period Certain (fixed or variable)—Payments will be made only during the annuitant’s lifetime.

 

10 Years Certain (fixed or variable)—Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant’s lifetime or ten years.

 

Guaranteed Return of Contract Proceeds (fixed only)—Payments will be made for the longer of the annuitant’s lifetime or until the total dollar amount of payments we made to you equals the amount applied to this option.

 

Life with Emergency CashSM (fixed or variable)—Payments will be made during the annuitant’s lifetime. With the Life with Emergency CashSM feature, you are able to surrender all or a portion of the Life with Emergency CashSM benefit. The amount you surrender must be at least $2,500. We will provide you with a Life with Emergency CashSM benefit schedule that will assist you in estimating the amount you have available to surrender. A partial surrender will reduce all future payments pro rata. A surrender charge may apply and there may be tax consequences (consult a tax advisor before requesting a full or partial surrender). The maximum surrender charge is 4% of the annuitized amount (see “Expenses” for the surrender charge schedule). The Life with Emergency CashSM benefit will continue through age 100 of the surviving joint annuitant. The Life with Emergency CashSM benefit is also a death benefit that is paid upon the death of the surviving joint annuitant. (For qualified contracts the death benefit ceases on the date the surviving joint annuitant reaches the IRS age limitation.)

 

Payment Option 4—Joint and Survivor Annuity. You may choose between:

 

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

 

Life with Emergency CashSM (fixed or variable)—Payments will be made during the joint lifetime of the annuitant and a joint annuitant of your selection. Payments will be made as long as either person is living. With the Life with Emergency CashSM feature, you are able to surrender all or a portion of the Life with Emergency CashSM benefit. The amount you surrender must be at least $2,500. We will provide you with a Life with Emergency CashSM benefit schedule that will assist you in estimating the amount you have available to surrender. A partial surrender will reduce all future payments pro rata. A surrender charge may apply and there may be tax consequences (consult a tax advisor before requesting a full or partial surrender). The maximum surrender charge is 4% of the annuitized amount (see “Expenses for the surrender charge schedule). The Life with Emergency CashSM benefit will continue through age 100 of the annuitant. The Life with Emergency CashSM benefit is also a death benefit that is paid upon the death of the last annuitant. (For qualified contracts the death benefit ceases at the date the annuitant reaches the IRS joint age limitation.)

 

Other annuity payments may be arranged by agreement with Transamerica. Certain annuity payments may not be available in all states.

 

23


Table of Contents

NOTE CAREFULLY:

 

IF:

 

you choose Life Income with No Period Certain or a Joint and Survivor Annuity with No Period Certain; and

 

the annuitant dies before the due date of the second (third, fourth, etc.) annuity payment;

 

THEN:

 

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

 

IF:

 

you choose Income for a Specified Period, Life Income with 10 years Certain, Life Income with Guaranteed Return of Contract Proceeds, or Income of a Specified Amount; and

 

the person receiving payments dies prior to the end of the guaranteed period;

 

THEN:

 

the remaining guaranteed payments will be continued to that person’s beneficiary, or their present value may be paid in a single sum.

 

However, IF:

 

you choose Life with Emergency CashSM; and

 

the annuitant dies before age 101;

 

THEN:

 

a Life with Emergency CashSM death benefit will be paid.

 

We will not pay interest on amounts represented by uncashed annuity payment checks if the postal or other delivery service is unable to deliver checks to the payee’s address of record. The person receiving payments is responsible for keeping Transamerica informed of their current address.

 

8. DEATH BENEFIT

 

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

 

When We Pay A Death Benefit

 

We will pay a death benefit IF:

 

you are both the annuitant and sole owner of the contract; and

 

you die before the annuity date.

 

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

 

you are not the annuitant; and

 

the annuitant dies before the annuity date.

 

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

 

When We Do Not Pay A Death Benefit

 

We will not pay a death benefit IF:

 

you are not the annuitant; and

 

you die prior to the annuity date.

 

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

 

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

 

Deaths After the Annuity Date

 

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

 

24


Table of Contents

IF:

 

you are not the annuitant; and

 

you die on or after the annuity date; and

 

the entire interest in the contract has not been paid;

 

THEN:

 

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

 

IF:

 

annuity payments under the Life with Emergency CashSM; and

 

annuitant dies before age 101 (or earlier, if a qualified contract);

 

THEN:

 

a Life with Emergency CashSM death benefit will be paid.

 

Succession of Ownership

 

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

 

Amount of Death Benefit

 

Death benefit provisions may differ from state to state. The death benefit may be paid as a lump sum or as annuity payments. The amount of the death benefit depends on the guaranteed minimum death benefit option you chose when you bought the contract. The death benefit will generally be the greatest of:

 

account value on the date we receive the required information; or

 

cash value on the date we receive the required information (this will be more than the account value if there is a positive excess interest adjustment that exceeds the surrender charge); or

 

guaranteed minimum death benefit (discussed below), plus purchase payments, less gross partial surrenders from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.

 

Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit

 

NOTE: The following generally applies, depending on the state of issue, to contracts issued after May 1, 2002. For other contracts, see Appendix C. Please see your contract to determine your specific coverage.

 

After the contract is issued, you cannot make an election and the death benefit cannot be changed from the death benefit option selected on your contract application.

 

A. Double Enhanced Death Benefit

 

The death benefit under this option is the greater of 1 or 2 below:

 

  1. The 2% Annually Compounding through age 80 Death Benefit is:

 

  the total purchase payments; less

 

  any adjusted partial surrenders accumulated at an effective annual rate of 2% from the date any purchase payment is made or the date the adjusted partial surrender taken to the earlier of the annuitant’s date of death or the annuitant’s 81st birthday.

 

  2. On each contract anniversary before annuitant’s 81st birthday, a new “stepped-up” death benefit is determined and becomes the guaranteed minimum death benefit for that contract year. The death benefit is equal to:

 

  the largest account value on the contract date or on any contract anniversary before the earlier of the date of the annuitant’s death or the annuitant’s 81st birthday; plus

 

  any purchase payments since that date; minus

 

  any adjusted partial surrenders since that date.

 

25


Table of Contents

The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit is not available if the annuitant is 75 or older on the contract date (and the owner is 75 or older on the contract date).

 

There is an extra charge for this death benefit of 0.80% annually, for a total mortality and expense risk fee of 1.95%.

 

B. Annual Step-Up Death Benefit

 

On each contract anniversary before annuitant’s 81st birthday, a new “stepped-up” death benefit is determined and becomes the guaranteed minimum death benefit for that contract year. The death benefit is equal to:

 

  the largest account value on the contract date or on any contract anniversary before the earlier of the date of the annuitant’s death or the annuitant’s 81st birthday; plus

 

  any purchase payments since that date; minus

 

  any adjusted partial surrenders since that date.

 

The Annual Step-Up Death Benefit is not available if the annuitant is 75 or older on the contract date. There is an extra charge for this death benefit of 0.20% annually, for a total mortality and expense risk fee of 1.35%.

 

C. Return of Premium Death Benefit

 

The Return of Premium Death Benefit is:

 

  total purchase payments; less

 

  any adjusted partial surrenders as of the date of death.

 

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

 

The Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts.

 

Adjusted Partial Surrender

 

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

 

9. TAXES

 

NOTE: We have prepared the following information on federal income taxes as a general discussion of the subject. It is not intended as tax advice to any individual. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own circumstances. We have included an additional discussion regarding taxes in the SAI.

 

Annuity Contracts in General

 

Deferred annuity contracts are a way of setting aside money for future needs like retirement. Congress recognized how important saving for retirement is and provided special rules in the Internal Revenue Code for annuities.

 

Simply stated, these rules generally provide individuals will not be taxed on the earnings, if any, on the money held in an annuity contract until taken out. This is referred to as tax deferral. When a non-natural person (e.g., corporation or certain other entities other than tax-qualified trusts) owns a

 

26


Table of Contents

nonqualified contract, the contract will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes and tax deferral will not apply.

 

There are different rules as to how you will be taxed depending on how you take the money out and the type of contract—qualified or nonqualified.

 

You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of your contract until a distribution occurs (either as a surrender or as annuity payments).

 

Qualified and Nonqualified Contracts

 

If you purchase the contract under an individual retirement annuity, a 403(b) plan, a pension plan, or specially sponsored program, your contract is referred to as a qualified contract.

 

Qualified contracts are issued in connection with the following:

 

Individual Retirement Annuity (IRA): A traditional IRA allows individuals to make contributions, which may be deductible, to the contract. A Roth IRA also allows individuals to make contributions to the contract, but it does not allow a deduction for contributions, and distributions may be tax-free if the owner meets certain rules.

 

Tax-Sheltered Annuity (403(b) Plan): A 403(b) Plan may be made available to employees of certain public school systems and tax-exempt organizations and permits contributions to the contract on a pre-tax basis.

 

Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing and H.R. 10 Plan: Employers and self-employed individuals can establish pension or profit-sharing plans for their employees or themselves and make contributions to the contract on a pre-tax basis.

 

Deferred Compensation Plan (457 Plan): Certain governmental and tax-exempt organizations can establish a plan to defer compensation on behalf of their employees through contributions to the contract.

 

There is no additional tax deferral benefit derived from placing qualified funds into a variable annuity. Features other than tax deferral should be considered in the purchase of a qualified contract. There are limits on the amount of contributions you can make to a qualified contract. Other restrictions may apply including terms of the plan in which you participate. The contract may contain death benefit features that in some cases may exceed the greater of the purchase payments or the account value. The death benefit could be characterized as an incidental benefit, the amount of which is limited in any pension or profit-sharing plan or 403(b) plan. Because the death benefit may exceed this limitation, anyone using the contract in connection with such plans should consult their tax adviser. The Internal Revenue Service has not reviewed the contract for qualification as an IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether the death benefit options and riders available, with the contract, if any, comport with IRA qualification requirements.

 

If you purchase the contract as an individual and not under an individual retirement annuity, 403(b) plan, 457 plan, or pension or profit sharing plan, your contract is referred to as a nonqualified contract.

 

Surrenders—Qualified Contracts

 

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

 

There are special rules that govern qualified contracts. Generally, these rules restrict:

 

the amount that can be contributed to the contract during any year;

 

the time when amounts can be paid from the contract; and

 

the amount of any death benefit that may be allowed.

 

In addition, a penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the contract prior to the

 

27


Table of Contents

date you reach age 59½, unless you meet one of the exceptions to this rule. You may also be required to begin taking minimum distributions from the contract by a certain date. The terms of the plan may limit the rights otherwise available to you under the contract. We have provided more information in the SAI.

 

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

 

Surrenders—403(b) Contracts

 

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

 

reaches age 59½;

 

leaves his/her job;

 

dies;

 

becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code); or

 

declares hardship. However, in the case of hardship, the owner can only surrender the purchase payments and not any earnings.

 

Defaulted loans from Code Section 403(b) arrangements, and pledges and assignments of qualified contracts generally are taxed in the same manner as surrenders from such contracts. Please refer to the SAI for further information applicable to distributions from 403(b) contracts.

 

Surrenders—Nonqualified Contracts

 

If you take a partial withdrawal or surrender (including systematic payouts and payouts under an optional feature, if any) from a nonqualified contract before the annuity commencement date, the Internal Revenue Code treats that surrender as first coming from earnings and then from your purchase payments. When you make a surrender you are taxed on the amount of the surrender that is earnings. If you make a surrender, you are generally taxed on the amount that your surrender proceeds exceeds the “investment in the contract,” which is generally your purchase payments paid (adjusted for any prior surrenders or portions thereof that were not taxable). Loans, pledges, and assignments are taxed in the same manner as partial withdrawals and surrenders. Pledges and assignments are taxed in the same manner as partial withdrawals. Different rules apply for annuity payments. See “Annuity Payments” below.

 

The Internal Revenue Code also provides that surrendered earnings may be subject to a penalty tax. The amount of the penalty tax is equal to 10% of the amount that is includable in income. Some surrenders will be exempt from the penalty tax. They include any amounts:

 

paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½;

 

paid after an owner dies;

 

paid if the taxpayer becomes totally disabled (as that term is defined in the Internal Revenue Code);

 

paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) under a lifetime annuity;

 

paid under an immediate annuity; or

 

which come from purchase payments made prior to August 14, 1982.

 

All nonqualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner during any calendar year are treated as one annuity for purposes of determining the amount includable in the owner’s income when a taxable distribution occurs.

 

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

 

Amounts may be distributed from the contract because of the death of the annuitant. Generally, such amounts should be includable in the income of the recipient:

 

if distributed in a lump sum, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as a surrender; or

 

if distributed under an annuity payment option, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.

 

28


Table of Contents

Annuity Payments

 

Although the tax consequences may vary depending on the annuity payment option you select, in general, for nonqualified and certain qualified contracts, only a portion of the annuity payments you receive will be includable in your gross income.

 

In general, the excludable portion of each annuity payment you receive will be determined as follows:

 

Fixed payments—by dividing the “investment in the contract” on the annuity commencement date by the total expected value of the annuity payments for the term of the payments. This is the percentage of each annuity payment that is excludable.

 

Variable payments—by dividing the “investment in the contract” on the annuity commencement date by the total number of expected periodic payments. This is the amount of each annuity payment that is excludable.

 

The remainder of each annuity payment is includable in gross income. Once the “investment in the contract” has been fully recovered, the full amount of any additional annuity payments is includable in gross income and fixed as ordinary income.

 

If you select more than one annuity payment option, special rules govern the allocation of the contract’s entire “investment in the contract” to each such option, for purposes of determining the excludable amount of each payment received under that option. We advise you to consult a competent tax adviser as to the potential tax effects of allocating amounts to any particular annuity payment option.

 

If, after the annuity commencement date, annuity payments stop because an annuitant died, the excess (if any) of the “investment in the contract” as of the annuity commencement date over the aggregate amount of annuity payments received that was excluded from gross income may possibly be allowable as a deduction in your tax return.

 

You should consult a tax advisor before electing the Initial Payment Guarantee or a feature with stabilized payments.

 

Diversification and Distribution Requirements

 

The Internal Revenue Code provides that the underlying investments for a variable annuity must satisfy certain diversification requirements in order to be treated as an annuity. The contract must also meet certain distribution requirements at the death of an owner in order to be treated as an annuity. These diversification and distribution requirements are discussed in the SAI. We may modify the contract to attempt to maintain favorable tax treatment.

 

Annuity Contracts Purchased by Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Corporations

 

The discussion above provided general information (but not tax advice) regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences to annuity owners that are U.S. persons. Taxable distributions made to owners who are not U.S. persons will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding at a 30% rate, unless a lower treaty rate applies. In addition, distributions may be subject to state and/or municipal taxes and taxes that may be imposed by the owner’s country of citizenship or residence. Prospective foreign owners are advised to consult with a qualified tax adviser regarding U.S., state, and foreign taxation for any annuity contract purchase.

 

Transfers, Assignments or Exchanges of Contracts

 

A transfer of ownership or assignment of a contract, the designation of an annuitant or payee or other beneficiary who is not also the owner, the selection of certain annuity commencement dates, or a change of annuitant, may result in certain income or gift tax consequences to the owner that are beyond the scope of this discussion. An owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment,

 

29


Table of Contents

selection, or change should contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

 

Possible Tax Law Changes

 

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

 

We have the right to modify the contract to meet the regulations of any applicable laws or regulations, including legislative changes that could otherwise diminish the favorable tax treatment that annuity contract owners currently receive.

 

Separate Account Charges

 

It is possible that the Internal Revenue Service may take a position that fees for certain optional benefits (e.g., death benefits other than the Return of Premium death benefit) are deemed to be taxable distributions to you. In particular, the Internal Revenue Service may treat fees associated with certain optional benefits as a taxable surrender, which might also be subject to a tax penalty if the surrender occurs prior to age 59½. Although we do not believe that the fees associated with any optional benefit provided under the contract should be treated as taxable surrenders, the tax rules associated with these benefits are unclear, and we advise that you consult your tax advisor prior to selecting any optional benefit under the contract.

 

10. ADDITIONAL FEATURES

 

Systematic Withdrawal Option

 

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

 

(1) is up to 10% (annually) of your purchase payments (less partial surrenders deemed to be from purchase payments); and

 

(2) is any gains in the contract.

 

This amount may be taken free of surrender charges. Any payment in excess of the cumulative interest credited at the time of the payment may be subject to an excess interest adjustment.

 

Payments can be made monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually and will not begin until one payment period from the date we receive your instructions. Each payment must be at least $50. Monthly and quarterly payments must be made by electronic funds transfer directly to your checking or savings account.

 

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

 

There is no charge for this benefit.

 

Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit

 

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (GMIB Rider) is no longer available, but contract owners who elected the GMIB prior to January 24, 2003, can still upgrade. If you upgrade, the annual effective interest rate is currently 4% per year.

 

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit may vary by state.

 

Initial Payment Guarantee

 

You may only elect to purchase the Initial Payment Guarantee at the time you annuitize your contract. The guarantee only applies to variable annuity payments. There is an additional charge for this guarantee.

 

30


Table of Contents

The Initial Payment Guarantee does not establish or guarantee the performance of any subaccount.

 

With the Initial Payment Guarantee, you receive stabilized annuity payments that are guaranteed to never be less than a percentage (currently 50%) of the initial payment (i.e., the guaranteed payment). Once the rider is added, the guaranteed percentage will not change during the life of the rider.

 

Rider Fee. There is a charge for the Initial Payment Guarantee, which is in addition to the base product mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge. This fee is reflected in the amount of the annuity payments that you receive if you select the Initial Payment Guarantee. It is reflected in the calculation of the annuity unit values after the annuity date.

 

The Initial Payment Guarantee fee is currently equal to an effective annual rate of 1.25% of the unit value in the subaccounts. The fee may be higher (or lower) at the time you annuitize. You pay whatever the fee is when you annuitize.

 

Other Terms and Conditions. You may purchase the Initial Payment Guarantee only at the time you annuitize your contract. You cannot terminate this payment guarantee (or eliminate the charge for it) after you have selected this option.

 

The Initial Payment Guarantee uses a 5% assumed investment return to calculate your annuity payments. This means that the dollar amount of the annuity payments will remain level if the investment return (net of fees and expenses) exactly equals 5%. The payments will increase if actual investment performance (net of fees and expenses) exceeds the assumed investment return, and decrease if actual performance is below the assumed investment return (but not below the guaranteed level).

 

Termination. The Initial Payment Guarantee is irrevocable.

 

The Initial Payment Guarantee may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts.

 

Additional Death Benefit Rider

 

The optional Additional Death Benefit Rider pays an additional amount (based on earnings since the rider was issued) when a death benefit is payable under your contract, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Benefit Rider is only available for issue ages through age 80.

 

Additional Death Benefit Rider Amount. The Additional Death Benefit Rider is only payable if you elected the rider prior to the death triggering the payment of the contract death benefit and a death benefit is payable under the contract. The Additional Death Benefit Rider is equal to:

 

the Additional Death Benefit Rider factor (see below); multiplied by

 

the rider earnings on the date the death benefit is calculated.

 

Rider earnings equal:

 

the account value on the date of death; minus

 

account value on the rider date; minus

 

purchase payments after the rider date; plus

 

surrenders after the rider date that exceed the rider earnings on the date of the surrender.

 

No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Benefit Rider if there are no rider earnings on the date the death benefit is calculated.

 

If you purchased your contract as part of a 1035 exchange or added the Additional Death Benefit Rider after you purchased the contract, rider earnings do not include any gains before the 1035 exchange or the date the Additional Death Benefit Rider was added to your contract.

 

The Additional Death Benefit Rider factor is currently 40% for issue ages under 71 and 25% for issue ages 71-80.

 

31


Table of Contents

No benefit is paid under this rider unless (a) the rider is in force, (b) a death benefit is payable on the contract, and (c) there are rider earnings when the death benefit is calculated.

 

For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the contract and the Additional Death Benefit Rider will be considered.

 

Please see the SAI for an example which illustrates the Additional Death Benefit Rider payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the Additional Death Benefit Rider.

 

Spousal Continuation. If a spouse, as the new owner of the contract, elects to continue the contract instead of receiving a death benefit and the Additional Death Benefit Rider Amount, the spouse will receive a one-time account value increase equal to the Additional Death Benefit Rider Amount. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider as long as he or she is under the age of 80.

 

Rider Fee. A rider fee, 0.25% of the account value, is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the contract or other termination of the rider (once we have received all necessary regulatory approvals). The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment choice. The fee is deducted even during periods when the Additional Death Benefit Rider would not pay any benefit (because there are no rider earnings).

 

Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:

 

you cancel it by notifying our service center in writing,

 

the contract is annuitized or surrendered, or

 

the Additional Death Benefit Rider is paid or added to the account value under a spousal continuation.

 

Once terminated, the Additional Death Benefit Rider may be re-elected, however, a new rider will be issued and the Additional Death Benefit Rider Amount will be re-determined. Please note that if the rider is terminated and then re-elected, it will only cover gains, if any, since it was re-elected and the terms of the new rider may be different than the terminated rider.

 

The tax consequences associated with this rider are not clear. This rider may violate the requirements of certain qualified plans and of IRAs. Consult a tax adviser before electing this rider.

 

The Additional Death Benefit Rider may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts.

 

Additional Death Benefit Rider II

 

The optional Additional Death Benefit Rider II pays an additional amount (based on earnings since the rider was issued) when a death benefit is payable under your contract, in certain circumstances. The Additional Death Benefit Rider II is available only for issue ages through age 75.

 

Additional Death Benefit Rider II Amount. The Additional Death Benefit Rider II is only payable if a death benefit is paid on the base contract to which the rider is attached. The amount of the additional benefit is dependent on the amount of time that has passed since the rider date as follows:

 

If a death benefit is payable within the first five years after the rider date, the additional benefit amount will be equal to the sum of all rider fees paid since the rider date.

 

If a death benefit is payable after five years following the rider date, the additional benefit will be equal to the rider benefit base multiplied by the rider benefit percentage.

 

The rider benefit base at any time is equal to the account value less any purchase payments added after the rider date.

 

The rider benefit percentage may vary but will currently be equal to 30% for issue ages 0 – 70 and 20% for issue ages 71 – 75.

 

32


Table of Contents

No benefit is payable under the Additional Death Benefit Rider II if the account value on the date the death benefit is paid is less than the purchase payments after the rider date.

 

For purposes of computing taxable gains, both the death benefit payable under the contract and the additional benefit will be considered.

 

Please see the SAI for an example which illustrates the additional death benefit payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the additional benefit.

 

Spousal Continuation. If a spouse, as the new owner of the contract, elects to continue the contract instead of receiving the death benefit and additional benefit, the spouse will receive a one-time account value increase equal to the additional benefit. At this time the rider will terminate. The spouse will have the option of immediately re-electing the rider as long as he or she is under the age of 76.

 

Rider Fee. A rider fee, currently 0.55% of the account value, is deducted annually on each rider anniversary prior to annuitization. We will also deduct this fee upon full surrender of the contract or other termination of the rider (once we have received all necessary regulatory approvals). The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment option. The fee is deducted even during periods when the rider would not pay any benefits.

 

Termination. The rider will remain in effect until:

 

you cancel it by notifying our service center in writing,

 

the contract is annuitized or surrendered, or

 

the additional death benefit is paid or added to the account value under a spousal continuation.

 

Once terminated, the Additional Death Benefit Rider II may not be re-elected for one year.

 

The tax consequences associated with this rider are not clear. This rider may violate the requirements of certain qualified plans. Consult a tax adviser before electing this rider.

 

The Additional Death Benefit Rider II may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts.

 

Liquidity Rider

 

The optional Liquidity Rider reduces the number of years each purchase payment is subject to surrender charges. This rider was only available at the time you purchased the contract.

 

Surrender Schedule. The following schedule shows the surrender charges that apply if the Liquidity Rider is elected:

Rider Fee. A rider fee equal to an effective annual rate of 0.40% of the daily net asset value in the subaccounts is deducted in calculating the variable accumulation unit values. The rider fee is only charged for the first four contract years. In addition, interest credited to the fixed account may be lower than interest credited to the contract without the Liquidity Rider.

 

Variable Accumulation Unit Values. After the end of the fourth contract year, the 0.40% rider fee will no longer be assessed. We intend to administer the removal of the 0.40% charge by changing to a different class of variable accumulation units. This will result in adjusting the number of variable accumulation units and adjusting the unit value of the subaccounts in which you were invested at the end of the fourth contract year. The elimination of the fee and the adjustment in the number of

 

33


Table of Contents

variable accumulation units and unit values will not affect contract values.

 

Performance Data. The Historical Performance Data in Appendix B to the prospectus and in other marketing material does not reflect the fee for the Liquidity Rider. Performance figures would be lower if the fee were included.

 

Termination. The rider is irrevocable.

 

The Liquidity Rider may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts.

 

Premium Accelerator Rider

 

The Premium Accelerator rider was only available at the time you purchased your contract and only if you were age 75 or younger. If you elect the Premium Accelerator rider at issue, the initial purchase payment and each subsequent purchase payment will receive a Premium Accelerator which is added to the account value. The Premium Accelerator is currently 2.25%; however, we may change the accelerator rate at any time. The amount of the Premium Accelerator is not considered a purchase payment and therefore may not be included in the calculation of certain contract features. No Premium Accelerator will apply if the contract is canceled pursuant to the right to cancel provision.

 

In certain unusual circumstances, you might be worse off because of the Premium Accelerator. This could happen if the overall investment performance of your contract is negative (if the overall investment performance of your contract is positive you would be better off). This could also happen if the market does not perform well enough to offset the additional costs associated with the Premium Accelerator.

 

Rider Fee. There is a daily charge for the Premium Accelerator at an effective annual rate of 0.20% of the unit value in the subaccounts, but this fee is only deducted for the first nine contract years. Also, interest credited to the fixed account may be lower than interest credited to the contract without the Premium Accelerator rider. In addition to this fee, the surrender charge is higher and lasts longer if you elect the rider. In addition to the Rider Fee, Transamerica may use a portion of the mortality and expense risk fee, administrative charge and/or the surrender charge to pay the Premium Accelerator.

 

The following schedule shows the surrender charges that apply during the nine years following payment of each purchase payment if you elect the Premium Accelerator rider:

You cannot elect both the Liquidity Rider and the Premium Accelerator rider.

 

Termination. The rider is irrevocable.

 

The Premium Accelerator rider may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts.

 

Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option

 

No surrender charges or excess interest adjustment will apply if you make a surrender ($1000 minimum), under certain circumstances, because you or your spouse has been:

 

confined in a hospital or nursing facility for 30 days in a row; or

 

34


Table of Contents
diagnosed with a terminal condition (usually a life expectancy of 12 months or less).

 

This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse if the owner is not a natural person.

 

You may exercise this benefit at any time (during the accumulation phase). There is no charge for this benefit.

 

This benefit may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts.

 

Unemployment Waiver

 

No surrender charges or excess interest adjustment will apply to surrenders after you or your spouse become unemployed in certain circumstances, because you were terminated, laid off, or otherwise lost your job involuntarily. In order to qualify, you (or your spouse, whichever is applicable) must have been:

 

employed full time for at least two years prior to becoming unemployed;

 

employed full time on the contract date;

 

unemployed for at least 60 days in a row at the time of surrender;

 

the contract must have a minimum cash value at the time of surrender of $5,000; and

 

you (or your spouse) must be receiving unemployment benefits.

 

You must provide written proof from your State’s Department of Labor, which verifies that you qualify for and are receiving unemployment benefits at the time of surrender.

 

You may select this benefit at any time (during the accumulation phase) and there is no charge for this benefit.

 

This benefit is also available to the annuitant or annuitant’s spouse if the owner is not a natural person. There is no charge for this benefit.

 

This benefit may vary by state and may not be available in all states.

 

Telephone Transactions

 

You may generally make transfers and change the allocation of additional purchase payments by telephone.

 

If you authorize your registered representative to make transfers and change the allocation of additional purchase payments by telephone:

 

select the Owner(s) and Owners Registered Representative box on the “Telephone Transfer Authorization” form.

 

You will be required to provide certain information for identification purposes when requesting a transaction by telephone and we may record your telephone call. We may also require written confirmation of your request. We will not be liable for following telephone requests that we believe are genuine. We reserve the right to revoke your telephone transaction privileges at any time without revoking all owners’ telephone transfer privileges.

 

We may deny the telephone transaction privileges to market timers.

 

We cannot guarantee that telephone transactions will always be available. For example, our offices may be closed during severe circumstances or other emergencies. There may be interruptions in service beyond our control, and if the volume of calls is unusually high, we might not have anyone available, or lines available, to take your call.

 

Dollar Cost Averaging Program

 

During the accumulation phase, you may instruct us to automatically make transfers from certain source options (discussed below) into one or more variable subaccounts in accordance with your allocation instructions. This is known as Dollar Cost Averaging. While Dollar Cost Averaging buys more variable accumulation units when prices

 

35


Table of Contents

are low and fewer variable accumulation units when prices are high, it does not guarantee profits or assure that you will not experience a loss.

 

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

 

Traditional—You may specify the dollar amount to be transferred or the number of transfers. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started.

 

Special—You may elect either a six or twelve month program. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started.

 

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

 

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

 

A Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin once the minimum required purchase payment is received even if multiple sources are funding your contract. If additional payments are received while a Dollar Cost Averaging program is running, absent new instructions to the contrary, the amount of the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will increase but the length of the Dollar Cost Averaging program will not.

 

NOTE CAREFULLY:

 

IF:

 

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

 

we do not receive the minimum required amount to begin an initial Dollar Cost Averaging program within 30 days of allocating an insufficient amount;

 

THEN:

 

any amount in a fixed account source will be transferred to the money market investment option; and

 

any amount in a variable source will remain in that variable investment option; and

 

new instructions will be required to begin a Dollar Cost Averaging program.

 

IF:

 

we receive purchase payments after a Dollar Cost Averaging program is completed and the additional purchase payment meets the minimum requirements to start a Dollar Cost Averaging program;

 

THEN:

 

we will, absent new instructions to the contrary, start a new Dollar Cost Averaging program using the previous instructions.

 

IF:

 

we receive additional purchase payments after a Dollar Cost Averaging program is completed, and the additional purchase payment does not meet the minimum requirements to start a Dollar Cost Averaging program

 

THEN;

 

we will, absent new instructions to the contrary, allocate the additional purchase payment as identified in the previous Dollar Cost Averaging program.

 

IF:

 

you discontinue a Dollar Cost Averaging program before completion;

 

THEN:

 

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

 

36


Table of Contents

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

 

There is no charge for this benefit.

 

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

 

Asset Rebalancing

 

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

 

11. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Ownership

 

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

 

Assignment

 

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

 

Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company

 

Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company is an Iowa stock life insurance company incorporated on June 30, 1906. It is mainly engaged in the sale of life insurance and annuity contracts. The address for Transamerica is 4333 Edgewood Road NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa 52499.

 

Transamerica is a wholly owned subsidiary of Transamerica Insurance Corporation, which in turn is a direct subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation. Transamerica Corporation is an indirect subsidiary of AEGON N.V., one of the world’s leading international insurance groups.

 

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

 

The Variable Account

 

Transamerica established a separate account, called Separate Account VA-2L, under the laws of the State of California on May 22, 1992. The variable account receives and invests the purchase payments that are allocated to it for investment in shares of the underlying funds/portfolios.

 

The variable account is registered with the SEC as a unit investment trust under the 1940 Act. However, the SEC does not supervise the management, the investment practices, or the contracts of the variable account or Transamerica. Income, gains and losses (whether or not realized), from assets allocated to the variable account are, in accordance with the contracts, credited to or charged against the variable account without regard to Transamerica’s other income, gains or losses.

 

The assets of the variable account are held in Transamerica’s name on behalf of the variable

 

37


Table of Contents

account and belong to Transamerica. However, those assets that underlie the contracts are not chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business Transamerica may conduct. The variable account may include other subaccounts that are not available under these contracts.

 

Mixed and Shared Funding

 

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

 

Exchanges and Reinstatements

 

You can generally exchange one annuity contract for another in a ‘tax-free exchange’ under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code. Before making an exchange, you should compare both annuities carefully. Remember that if you exchange another annuity for the one described in this prospectus, then you may pay a surrender charge on the other annuity and there will be a new surrender charge period and other charges may be higher (or lower) and the benefits may be different. You should not exchange another annuity for this one unless you determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell you this contract (that person will generally earn a commission if you buy this contract through an exchange or otherwise).

 

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

 

Voting Rights

 

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

 

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

 

Distributor of the Contracts

 

We have entered into a distribution agreement with our affiliate, AFSG Securities Corporation (“AFSG”), for the distribution and sales of the contracts. Under the agreement, the contracts are offered to the public through broker-dealers

 

38


Table of Contents

(“selling firms”) that are licensed under the federal securities laws and state insurance laws, and that sell the policies through written agreements with AFSG. We pay commissions to AFSG for sales of the contracts by the selling firms. We also may pay compensation to financial institutions for their services in connection with the sale and servicing of the contracts.

 

Commissions of up to 7% of purchase payments plus an annual continuing fee based on account values will be paid to the selling firms. These commissions are not deducted from purchase payments.

 

To the extent permitted by NASD rules, promotional incentives or payments may also be provided to selling firms based on sales volumes, the assumption of wholesaling functions, or other sales-related criteria. Other payments may be made for other services that do not directly involve the sale of the contracts. These services may include the recruitment and training of personnel, production of promotional literature, and similar services. We and/or AFSG may pay selling firms additional amounts for: (1) “preferred product” treatment of the contracts in their marketing programs, which may include marketing services and increased access to their sales representatives; (2) sales promotions relating to the contracts; (3) costs associated with sales conferences and educational seminars for their sales representatives; and (4) other sales expenses incurred by them and their representatives. We and/or AFSG may make payments to selling firms based on aggregate sales of our variable insurance contracts (including the contracts) or persistency standards.

 

The selling firms may pass on to their sales representatives a portion of the payments made to the selling firms in accordance with their respective internal compensation programs. Those programs may also include other types of cash and non-cash compensation and other benefits. Ask your sales representative for further information about what your sales representative and the selling firm for which he or she works may receive in connection with your purchase of a contract.

 

We intend to recoup commissions and other sales expenses primarily, but not exclusively, through:

 

the administrative charge;

 

the surrender charge;

 

the mortality and expense risk fee;

 

revenues, if any, that we receive from the underlying fund portfolios or their managers; and

 

investment earnings on amounts allocated to the fixed account.

 

Other incentives or payments, like commissions, are not charged to the contract owners or the separate account.

 

Pending regulatory approvals, we intend to distribute the policies in all states, except New York, and in certain possessions and territories.

 

IMSA

 

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

Legal Proceedings

 

There are no legal proceedings to which the variable account is a party or to which the assets of the variable account are subject. Transamerica, like other life insurance companies, is involved in lawsuits. In some class action and other lawsuits involving other insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, Transamerica believes that at the present time there are no pending or threatened lawsuits that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact on the variable account, AFSG Securities Corporation, or Transamerica.

APPENDIX B

 

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

 

Standard Performance Data

 

Transamerica may advertise historical yields and total returns for the subaccounts of the variable account. In addition, Transamerica may advertise the effective yield of the subaccount investing in the Money Market Portfolio (the “Money Market Subaccount”). These figures are calculated according to standardized methods prescribed by the SEC. They are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future performance. An investment in the Money Market Subaccount is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Agency or any other government agency. Although the subaccount seeks to preserve the value of your investment to $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the subaccount.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The yield and total return calculations for a subaccount do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes that may be applicable to a particular contract and they may not reflect the charges for any optional rider. To the extent that any or all of a premium tax is applicable to a particular contract, or one or more riders are elected, the yield and/or total return of that contract will be reduced. For additional information regarding yields and total returns calculated using the standard formats briefly summarized above, please refer to the SAI, a copy of which may be obtained from the administrative and service office upon request.

 

Based on the method of calculation described in the SAI, the average annual total returns for periods from inception of the subaccounts to December 31, 2003, and for the one and five year periods ended December 31, 2003 are shown in Table 1 below. Total returns shown reflect deductions for the mortality and expense risk fee,

the administrative charges, including an administration charge of $35 per annum adjusted for average account size. Standard total return calculations will reflect the effect of surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular period. Table 1 figures do not reflect any charge for riders or other optional features.

Table of Contents

Non-Standard Performance Data

 

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

 

Transamerica may also advertise or disclose average annual total return or other performance data in non-standard formats for a subaccount of the variable account. The non-standard performance data may assume that no surrender charge is applicable, and may also make other assumptions such as the amount invested in a subaccount, differences in time periods to be shown, or the effect of partial surrenders or annuity payments.

 

All non-standard performance data will be advertised only if the standard performance data is also disclosed. For additional information regarding the calculation of other performance data, please refer to the SAI.

 

The non-standard average annual total return figures shown in Table 2 are based on the assumption that the contract is not surrendered, and therefore the surrender charge is not imposed. Also, Table 2, like Table 1, does not reflect the charge for any optional rider.

Table of Contents

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

 

THE CONTRACT — GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Owner

 

The contract belongs to the owner upon issuance of the contract after completion of an enrollment form and delivery of the initial purchase payment. While the annuitant is living, the owner may: (1) assign the contract; (2) surrender the contract; (3) amend or modify the contract with Transamerica’s consent; (4) receive annuity payments or name a payee to receive the payments; and (5) exercise, receive and enjoy every other right and benefit contained in the contract. The exercise of these rights may be subject to the consent of any assignee or irrevocable beneficiary; and of your spouse in a community or marital property state.

 

Unless Transamerica has been notified of a community or marital property interest in the contract, it will rely on its good faith belief that no such interest exists and will assume no responsibility for inquiry.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Entire Contract

 

The contract, any endorsements thereon, the enrollment form, or information provided in lieu thereof, constitute the entire contract between Transamerica and the owner. All statements in the enrollment form are representations and not warranties. No statement will cause the contract to be void or to be used in defense of a claim unless contained in the enrollment form or information provided in lieu thereof.

Table of Contents

Misstatement of Age or Sex

 

If the age or sex of the annuitant or owner has been misstated, Transamerica will change the annuity benefit payable to that which the purchase payments would have purchased for the correct age or sex. The dollar amount of any underpayment made by Transamerica shall be paid in full with the next payment due such person or the beneficiary. The dollar amount of any overpayment made by Transamerica due to any misstatement shall be deducted from payments subsequently accruing to such person or beneficiary. Any underpayment or overpayment will include interest at 5% per year, from the date of the wrong payment to the date of the adjustment. The age of the annuitant or owner may be established at any time by the submission of proof satisfactory to Transamerica.

 

Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investments

 

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

 

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

 

In the event of any such substitution or change, Transamerica may, by appropriate endorsement, make such changes in the contracts as may be necessary or appropriate to reflect such substitution or change. Furthermore, if deemed to be in the best interests of persons having voting rights under the contracts, the separate account may be (i) operated as a management company under the 1940 Act or any other form permitted by law, (ii) deregistered under the 1940 Act in the event such registration is no longer required or (iii) combined with one or more other separate accounts. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Transamerica also may (1) transfer the assets of the separate account associated with the contracts to another account or accounts, (2) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of owners or other persons who have voting rights as to the separate account, (3)

Table of Contents

create new separate accounts, (4) add new subaccounts to or remove existing subaccounts from the separate account, or combine subaccounts, or (5) add new underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new fund for an existing fund.

 

Excess Interest Adjustment

 

Money that you surrender, transfer out of, or apply to an annuity payment option, from a guaranteed period option of the fixed account before the end of its guaranteed period (the number of years you specified the money would remain in the guaranteed period option) may be subject to an excess interest adjustment. At the time you request a surrender, if interest rates set by Transamerica have risen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a lower cash value. However, if interest rates have fallen since the date of the initial guarantee, the excess interest adjustment will result in a higher cash value.

 

Excess interest adjustments will not reduce the adjusted account value for a guaranteed period option below the purchase payments and transfers to that guaranteed period option, less any prior partial surrenders and transfers from the guaranteed period option, plus interest at the contract’s minimum guaranteed effective annual interest rate. This is referred to as the excess interest adjustment floor.

 

The formula that will be used to determine the excess interest adjustment is:

 

S* (G-C)* (M/12)

 

S

   =    Gross amount being surrendered that is subject to the excess interest adjustment

G

   =    Guaranteed interest rate in effect for the contract

C

   =    Current guaranteed interest rate then being offered on new purchase payments for the next longer option period than “M”. If this contract form or such an option period is no longer offered, “C” will be the U.S. Treasury rate for the next longer maturity (in whole years) than “M” on the 25th day of the previous calendar month, plus up to 2%.

M

   =    Number of months remaining in the current option period, rounded up to the next higher whole number of months.

*

   =    multiplication

^

   =    exponentiation

On a partial surrender, Transamerica will pay the owner the full amount of surrender requested (as long as the account value is sufficient). Amounts surrendered will reduce the account value by an amount equal to:

 

R - E + SC

 

R    =   the requested partial surrender;
E    =   the excess interest adjustment; and
SC    =   the surrender charges on (EPW - E); where
EPW    =   the excess partial surrender amount.

To receive the full $20,000 partial surrender amount, we must “gross-up” the EPW amount to account for the surrender charges to be deducted. This is done by dividing the EPW by (1 – surrender charge),

New EPW = 15,000/(1 – .07) = 16,129.03

Reallocation of Variable Annuity Units After the Annuity Date

 

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

 

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

Annuity Payment Options

 

Note: Portions of the following discussion do not apply to annuity payments under the Initial Payment Guarantee. See the “Stabilized Payments” section of this SAI.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Annuity Commencement Date


   Adjusted Age

Before 2010    Actual Age
2010-2019    Actual Age minus 1
2020-2026    Actual Age minus 2
2027-2033    Actual Age minus 3
2034-2040    Actual Age minus 4
After 2040    As determined by Transamerica

 

This adjustment assumes an increase in life expectancy, and therefore it results in lower payments than without such an adjustment.

 

13


Table of Contents

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

 

Death Benefit

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Example 1

(Assumed Facts for Example)

 

$ 75,000     current guaranteed minimum death benefit before surrender
$ 50,000     current account value before surrender
$ 75,000     current death proceeds
  6 %   current surrender charge percentage
$ 15,000     Requested surrender
$ 5,000     Surrender charge-free amount (assumes penalty free surrender is available)
$ 10,000     excess partial surrender (amount subject to surrender charge)
$ 100     excess interest adjustment (assumes interest rates have decreased since initial guarantee)
$ 594    

Surrender charge on (excess partial surrender less excess interest adjustment)

= 0.06* (10,000 - 100)

$ 10,494     Reduction in account value due to excess partial surrender = 10,000 - 100 + 594
$ 15,494     Total Gross Partial Surrender = 5,000 + 10,494
$ 23,241     adjusted partial surrender = 15,494 * (75,000/50,000)
$ 51,759     New guaranteed minimum death benefit (after surrender) = 75,000 - 23,241
$ 34,506     New account value (after surrender) = 50,000 - 15,494

 

Summary:

 

Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit    = $ 23,241     
Reduction in account value    = $ 15,494     

 

14


Table of Contents

Note, guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced more than the account value since the guaranteed minimum death benefit was greater than the account value just prior to the surrender.

 

Example 2

(Assumed Facts for Example)

 

$ 50,000     current guaranteed minimum death benefit before surrender
$ 75,000     current account value before surrender
$ 75,000     current death proceeds
  6 %   current surrender charge percentage
$ 15,000     requested surrender
$ 7,500     surrender charge-free amount (assumes penalty free surrender is available)
$ 7,500     excess partial surrender (amount subject to surrender charge)
$ -100     excess interest adjustment (assumes interest rates have increased since initial guarantee)
$ 456    

surrender charge on (excess partial surrender less excess interest adjustment)

= 0.06*[(7500 - (- 100)]

$ 8,056    

reduction in account value due to excess partial surrender

= 7500 - (- 100) + 456 = 7500 + 100 + 456

$ 15,556     Total Gross Partial Surrender = 7,500 + 8,056
$ 15,556     adjusted partial surrender = 15,556 * (75,000/75,000)
$ 34,444     New guaranteed minimum death benefit (after surrender) = 50,000 - 15,556
$ 59,444     New account value (after surrender) = 75,000 - 15,556

 

Summary:

 

Reduction in guaranteed minimum death benefit    = $ 15,556     
Reduction in account value    = $ 15,556     

 

Note, the guaranteed minimum death benefit and account value are reduced by the same amount since the account value was higher than the guaranteed minimum death benefit just prior to the surrender.

 

Due proof of death of the annuitant is proof that the annuitant died prior to the commencement of annuity payments. A certified copy of a death certificate, a certified copy of a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the finding of death, a written statement by the attending physician, or any other proof satisfactory to Transamerica will constitute due proof of death.

 

Upon receipt of this proof and an election of a method of settlement and return of the contract, the death benefit generally will be paid within seven days, or as soon thereafter as Transamerica has sufficient information about the beneficiary to make the payment. The beneficiary may receive the amount payable in a lump sum cash benefit, or, subject to any limitation under any state or federal law, rule, or regulation, under one of the annuity payment options described above, unless a settlement agreement is effective at the death of the owner preventing such election.

 

Distribution Requirements. If the annuitant dies prior to the annuity date, (1) the death benefit must be distributed within five years of the date of the deceased’s death, or (2) payments under an annuity payment option must begin no later than one year after the deceased annuitant’s death and must be made for the beneficiary’s lifetime or for a period certain (so long as any period certain does not exceed the beneficiary’s life expectancy). Death proceeds, which are not paid to or for the benefit of a natural person, must be distributed

 

15


Table of Contents

within five years of the date of the deceased’s death. If the sole beneficiary is the deceased’s surviving spouse, however, such spouse may elect to continue the contract as the new annuitant and owner instead of receiving the death benefit.

 

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

 

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

 

Death of Owner

 

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

 

Assignment

 

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

 

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

 

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

Table of Contents

Evidence of Survival

 

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

 

Non-Participating

 

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

 

Amendments

 

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

 

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

 

Employee and Agent Purchases

 

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

 

Present Value of Future Variable Payments

 

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

 

Stabilized Payments

 

If you have selected a payout feature that provides for stabilized payments, please note that the stabilized payments remain constant throughout each year and are adjusted on your contract anniversary. Without stabilized payments, each payment throughout the year would fluctuate based on the performance of your

 

17


Table of Contents

selected subaccounts. To reflect the difference in these payments we adjust (both increase and decrease as appropriate) the number of variable annuity units. The units are adjusted when we calculate the supportable payment. Supportable payments are used in the calculation of surrender values, death benefits and transfers. On your contract anniversary we set the new stabilized payment equal to the current supportable payment. In the case of an increase in the number of variable annuity units, your participation in the future investment performance will be increased since more variable annuity units are credited to you. Conversely, in the case of a reduction of the number of variable annuity units, your participation in the future investment performance will be decreased since fewer variable annuity units are credited to you.

 

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

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

 

The following summary does not constitute tax advice. It is a general discussion of certain of the expected federal income tax consequences of investment in and distributions with respect to a contract, based on the Code, Regulations thereunder, judicial authority, and current administrative rulings and practice. This summary discusses only certain federal income tax consequences to “United States Persons,” and does not discuss state, local, or foreign tax consequences. United States Persons means citizens or residents of the

 

18


Table of Contents

United States, domestic corporations, domestic partnerships and trusts, or estates that are subject to United States federal income tax regardless of the source of their income.

 

Tax Status of the Contract

 

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

 

Diversification Requirements. Section 817(h) of the Code provides that in order for a variable contract which is based on a segregated asset account to qualify as an annuity contract under the Code, the investments made by such account must be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations. The Regulations issued under Section 817(h) (Treas. Reg. §1.817-5) apply a diversification requirement to each of the subaccounts. The separate account, through its underlying fund portfolios and their portfolios, intends to comply with the diversification requirements of the Regulations. We have entered into agreements with each underlying fund portfolio company that require the portfolios to be operated in compliance with the Regulations.

 

Owner Control. In some circumstances, owners of variable contracts who retain excessive control over the investment of the underlying separate account assets may be treated as the owners of those assets and may be subject to tax on income produced by those assets. Although there is little guidance in this area and published guidance does not address certain aspects of the contracts, we believe that the owner of a contract should not be treated as the owner of the underlying assets. We reserve the right to modify the contracts to bring them into conformity with applicable standards should such modification be necessary to prevent owners of the contracts from being treated as the owners of the underlying separate account assets.

 

Distribution Requirements. The Code requires that nonqualified contracts contain specific provisions for distribution of contract proceeds upon the death of any owner. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Code requires that such contracts provide that if any owner dies on or after the annuity commencement date and before the entire interest in the contract has been distributed, the remaining portion must be distributed at least as rapidly as under the method in effect on such owner’s death. If any owner dies before the annuity commencement date, the entire interest in the contract must generally be distributed within 5 years after such owner’s date of death or be used to provide payments to a designated beneficiary beginning within one year of such owner’s death and will be made for the life of the beneficiary or for a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the beneficiary. However, if upon such owner’s death prior to the annuity commencement date, such owner’s surviving spouse becomes the sole new owner under the contract, then the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner. Under the contract, the beneficiary is the person(s) designated by an owner/annuitant and the surviving joint owner is the beneficiary of an owner who is not the annuitant. If any owner is not a natural person, then for purposes of these distribution requirements, the primary annuitant shall be treated as an owner and any death or change of such primary annuitant shall be treated as the death of an owner. The nonqualified contracts contain provisions intended to comply with these requirements of the Code. No regulations interpreting these requirements of the Code have yet been issued and thus no assurance can be given that the provisions contained in the contracts satisfy all such Code requirements. The provisions contained in the contracts will be reviewed and modified if necessary to assure that they comply with the Code requirements when clarified by regulation or otherwise.

Taxation of Annuities

 

In General. Code Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that an owner who is an individual will not be taxed on increases in the value of a contract until such amounts are surrendered or distributed. For this purpose, the assignment, pledge, or agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the account value, and in the case of a qualified contract, any portion of an interest in the plan, generally will be treated as a distribution. The taxable portion of a distribution is taxable as ordinary income.

 

Non-Natural Persons. Pursuant to Section 72(u) of the Code, a nonqualified contract held by a taxpayer other than a natural person generally will not be treated as an annuity contract under the Code; accordingly, an owner who is not a natural person will recognize as ordinary income for a taxable year the excess, if any, of the account value over the “investment in the contract”. There are some exceptions to this rule and a prospective purchaser of the contract that is not a natural person should discuss these with a competent tax adviser.

 

Withholding. The portion of any distribution under a contract that is includable in gross income will be subject to federal income tax withholding unless the recipient of such distribution elects not to have federal income tax withheld. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested or made. For certain qualified contracts, the withholding rate varies according to the type of distribution and the owner’s tax status. For qualified contracts, “taxable eligible rollover distributions” from Section 401(a) plans, Section 403(a) annuities, Section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities, and governmental 457 plans are subject to a mandatory federal income tax withholding of 20%. An eligible rollover distribution is any distribution to an employee (or an employee’s spouse or former spouse as beneficiary or alternate payee) from such a plan, other than specified distributions such as distributions required by the Code, distributions in a specified annuity form or hardship distributions. The 20% withholding do not apply, however, if the owner chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to another tax-qualified plan or IRA. Different withholding requirements may apply in the case of non-United States persons.

 

Qualified Contracts. The qualified contract is designed for use with several types of tax-qualified retirement plans. The tax rules applicable to participants and beneficiaries in tax-qualified retirement plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of contributions and distributions. Adverse tax consequences may result from contributions in excess of specified limits; distributions prior to age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions); distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules; and in other specified circumstances. Some retirement plans are subject to distribution and other requirements that are not incorporated into the contracts or our contract administration procedures. Owners, participants, and beneficiaries are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions, and other transactions with respect to the contracts comply with applicable law.

 

For qualified plans under Section 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), and 457, the Code requires that distributions generally must commence no later than the later of April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) (i) reaches age 70 ½ or (ii) retires, and must be made in a specified form or manner. If a participant in a Section 401(a) plan is a “5 percent owner” (as defined in the Code), or in the case of an IRA (other than a Roth IRA), distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) reaches age 70 ½. Each owner is responsible for requesting distributions under the contract that satisfy applicable tax rules.

Table of Contents

We do not attempt to provide more than general information about use of the contract with the various types of retirement plans. Purchasers of contracts for use with any retirement plan should consult their legal counsel and tax adviser regarding the suitability of the contract.

 

Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities. In order to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuity under Section 408(b) of the Code, a contract must contain certain provisions: (i) the owner must be the annuitant; (ii) the contract generally is not transferable by the owner, e.g., the owner may not designate a new owner, designate a contingent owner or assign the contract as collateral security; (iii) subject to special rules, the total purchase payments for any calendar year may not exceed the amount specified in the Code ($3,000 for 2004, $3,500 if age 50 or older), except in the case of a rollover amount or contribution under Section 402(c), 402(e)(6), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8), 403(b)(10), 408(d)(3) or 457(e)(16) of the Code; (iv) annuity payments or partial surrenders must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age 70 ½; (v) an annuity payment option with a period certain that will guarantee annuity payments beyond the life expectancy of the annuitant and the beneficiary may not be selected; (vi) certain payments of death benefits must be made in the event the annuitant dies prior to the distribution of the account value; and (vii) the entire interest of the owner is non-forfeitable. Contracts intended to qualify as traditional individual retirement annuities under Section 408(b) of the Code contain such provisions. Amounts in the IRA (other than nondeductible contributions) are taxed when distributed from the IRA. Distributions prior to age 59 ½ (unless certain exceptions apply) are subject to a 10% penalty tax.

 

The Internal Revenue Service has not reviewed the contract for qualification as an IRA and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether the death benefit options and riders available with the contracts comport with IRA qualification requirements.

 

Roth Individual Retirement Annuities (Roth IRA). The Roth IRA, under Section 408A of the Code, contains many of the same provisions as a traditional IRA. However, there are some differences. First, the contributions are not deductible and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth IRA or other IRA. A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax and other special rules may apply to the rollover or conversion and to distributions attributable thereto. The Roth IRA is available to individuals with earned income and whose modified adjusted gross income is under $110,000 for single filers, $160,000 for married filing jointly, and $10,000 for married filing separately. Subject to special rules, the amount per individual that may be contributed to all IRAs (Roth and traditional) is the deductible amount specified in the Code ($3,000 for 2004, $3,500 if age 50 or older). Secondly, the distributions are taxed differently. The Roth IRA offers tax-free distributions when made 5 tax years after the first contribution to any Roth IRA of the individual and made after attaining age 59 ½, to pay for qualified first time homebuyer expenses (lifetime maximum of $10,000), or due to death or disability. All other distributions are subject to income tax when made from earnings and may be subject to a penalty tax unless an exception applies. Unlike the traditional IRA, there are no minimum required distributions during the owner’s lifetime; however, required distributions at death are generally the same as for traditional IRAs.

 

Section 403(b) Plans. Under Section 403(b) of the Code, payments made by public school systems and certain tax exempt organizations to purchase contracts for their employees are excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, such payments may be subject to FICA (Social Security) taxes. The contract includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the purchase payments or the account value. The death benefit could be characterized as an incidental benefit, the amount of which is limited in any tax-sheltered annuity under Section 403(b). Therefore, employers using the contract in connection

 

21


Table of Contents

with such plans should consult their tax adviser. Additionally, in accordance with the requirements of the Code, Section 403(b) annuities generally may not permit distribution of (i) elective contributions made in years beginning after December 31, 1988, and (ii) earnings on those contributions, and (iii) earnings on amounts attributed to elective contributions held as of the end of the last year beginning before January 1, 1989. Distributions of such amounts will be allowed only upon the death of the employee, on or after attainment of age 59 ½, severance from employment, disability, or financial hardship, except that income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship.

 

Corporate Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans and H.R. 10 Plans. Sections 401(a) and 403(a) of the Code permit corporate employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees and self-employed individuals to establish qualified plans for themselves and their employees. Such retirement plans may permit the purchase of the contracts to accumulate retirement savings. Adverse tax consequences to the plan, the participant or both may result if the contract is assigned or transferred to any individual as a means to provide benefit payments. The contract includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the purchase payments or the account value. The death benefit could be characterized as an incidental benefit, the amount of which is limited in a pension or profit sharing plan. Therefore, employers using the contract in connection with such plans should consult their tax adviser.

 

Deferred Compensation Plans. Section 457 of the Code, while not actually providing for a qualified plan as that term is normally used, provides for certain deferred compensation plans with respect to service for state governments, local governments, political subdivisions, agencies, instrumentalities, and certain affiliates of such entities, and tax exempt organizations. The contracts can be used with such plans. Under such plans a participant may specify the form of investment in which his or her participation will be made. For non-governmental Section 457 plans, all such investments, however, are owned by, and are subject to, the claims of the general creditors of the sponsoring employer. Depending on the terms of the particular plan, a non-government employer may be entitled to draw on deferred amounts for purposes unrelated to its Section 457 plan obligations. In general, all amounts received under a non-governmental Section 457 plan are taxable and are subject to federal income tax withholding as wages.

 

Taxation of the Company

 

The Company at present is taxed as a life insurance company under part I of Subchapter L of the Code. The separate account is treated as part of the Company and, accordingly, will not be taxed separately as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Code. We do not expect to incur any federal income tax liability with respect to investment income and net capital gains arising from the activities of the separate account retained as part of the reserves under the contract. Based on this expectation, it is anticipated that no charges will be made against the separate account for federal income taxes. If, in future years, any federal income taxes are incurred by us with respect to the separate account, we may make a charge to that account.

INVESTMENT EXPERIENCE

 

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

 

Variable Accumulation Units

 

Allocations of a purchase payment directed to a subaccount are credited in the form of variable accumulation units. Each subaccount has a distinct variable accumulation unit value. The number of units credited is determined by dividing the purchase payment or amount transferred to the subaccount by the variable accumulation unit value of the subaccount as of the end of the valuation period during which the allocation is made. For each subaccount, the variable accumulation unit value for a given business day is based on the net asset value of a share of the corresponding portfolio of the underlying fund portfolios less any applicable charges or fees. The investment performance of the portfolios, expenses, and deductions of certain charges affect the value of a variable accumulation unit.

 

Upon allocation to the selected subaccount, purchase payments are converted into variable accumulation units of the subaccount. The number of variable accumulation units to be credited is determined by dividing the dollar amount allocated to each subaccount by the value of a variable accumulation unit for that subaccount as next determined after the purchase payment is received at the administrative and service office or, in the case of the initial purchase payment, when the enrollment form is completed, whichever is later. The value of a variable accumulation unit for each subaccount was arbitrarily established at $1 at the inception of each subaccount. Thereafter, the value of a variable accumulation unit is determined as of the close of trading on each day the New York Stock Exchange is open for business.

 

An index (the “net investment factor”) which measures the investment performance of a subaccount during a valuation period, is used to determine the value of a variable accumulation unit for the next subsequent valuation period. The net investment factor may be greater or less than or equal to one; therefore, the value of a variable accumulation unit may increase, decrease, or remain the same from one valuation period to the next. You bear this investment risk. The net investment performance of a subaccount and deduction of certain charges affect the variable accumulation unit value.

 

The net investment factor for any subaccount for any valuation period is determined by dividing (a) by (b) and subtracting (c) from the result, where:

 

(a) is the net result of:

 

  (1) the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period, plus

 

  (2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distribution made with respect to the shares held in the subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the current valuation period, plus or minus

 

  (3) a per share credit or charge for any taxes determined by Transamerica to have resulted during the valuation period from the investment operations of the subaccount;

 

(b) is the net asset value per share of the shares held in the subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period; and

(c) is an amount representing the total variable account annual expenses and any optional benefit fees, if applicable.

Formula and Illustration for Determining the Net Investment Factor

 

Net Investment Factor =     (A + B - C)  - E
             D

 

Where: A =    The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share as of the end of the current valuation period.
     Assume    A = $11.57
B =   

The per share amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution since the end of the

immediately preceding valuation period.

     Assume    B = 0
C =   

The per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for at the end of the current

valuation period.

     Assume    C = 0
D =    The net asset value of an underlying fund portfolio share at the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.
     Assume    D = $11.40
E =    The daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk fee and the administrative charge, and any optional benefit fees. Assume E totals 1.45% on an annual basis; On a daily basis, this equals .000039442.

 

Then, the net investment factor =    (11.57 + 0 - 0) - .000039442 = Z = 1.014872839
           (11.40)

Where: A =    The variable accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period.
     Assume    = $X
B =    The net investment factor for the current valuation period.
     Assume    = Y

 

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

 

Variable Annuity Unit Value and Annuity Payment Rates

 

The amount of variable annuity payments will vary with variable annuity unit values. Annuity unit values rise if the net investment performance of the subaccount exceeds the assumed investment return of 5% annually.

 

24


Table of Contents

Conversely, variable annuity unit values fall if the net investment performance of the subaccount is less than the assumed investment return. The value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount was established at $1 on the date operations began for that subaccount. The value of a variable annuity unit on any subsequent business day is equal to (a) multiplied by (b) multiplied by (c), where:

 

(a) is the variable annuity unit value for the subaccount on the immediately preceding business day;

 

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

 

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

 

The investment result adjustment factor for the valuation period is the product of discount factors of .99986634 per day to recognize the 5% effective assumed investment return. The valuation period is the period from the close of the immediately preceding business day to the close of the current business day.

 

The net investment factor for the certificate used to calculate the value of a variable annuity unit in each subaccount for the valuation period is determined by dividing (i) by (ii) and subtracting (iii) from the result, where:

 

(i) is the result of:

 

(1) the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined at the end of the current valuation period; plus

 

(2) the per share amount of any dividend or capital gain distributions made by the fund for shares held in that subaccount if the ex-dividend date occurs during the valuation period; plus or minus

 

(3) a per share charge or credit for any taxes reserved for, which Transamerica determines to have resulted from the investment operations of the subaccount.

 

(ii) is the net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount determined as of the end of the immediately preceding valuation period.

 

(iii) is a factor representing the mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge. This factor is equal, on an annual basis, to 1.25% of the daily net asset value of a fund share held in that subaccount. (For calculating Initial Payment Guarantee annuity payments, the factor is 1.25% higher).

 

The dollar amount of subsequent variable annuity payments will depend upon changes in applicable variable annuity unit values.

 

The annuity payment rates vary according to the annuity option elected and the sex and adjusted age of the annuitant at the annuity date. The contract also contains a table for determining the adjusted age of the annuitant

HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

 

Money Market Yields

 

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

 

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

 

Where:

 

NCS

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

ES

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

UV

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

 

Because of the charges and deductions imposed under a contract, the yield for the Money Market Subaccount will be lower than the yield for the Money Market Portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes or surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular contract. Surrender charges range from 7% to 0% of the amount of purchase payments surrendered based on the number of years since the purchase payment was made. However, surrender charges will not be assessed after the seventh contract year.

 

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

 

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

 

Where:

 

NCS

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

ES

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

UV

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

 

29


Table of Contents

The yield on amounts held in the Money Market Subaccount normally will fluctuate on a daily basis. Therefore, the disclosed yield for any given past period is not an indication or representation of future yields or rates of return. The Money Market Subaccount’s actual yield is affected by changes in interest rates on money market securities, average portfolio maturity of the Money Market Portfolio, the types and quality of portfolio securities held by the Money Market Portfolio and its operating expenses.

 

Other Subaccount Yields

 

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

 

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

 

Where:

 

NI

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

ES

  =    Expenses of the subaccount for the 30-day period.

U

  =    The average number of units outstanding.

UV

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

 

Because of the charges and deductions imposed by the variable account, the yield for a subaccount will be lower than the yield for its corresponding portfolio. The yield calculations do not reflect the effect of any premium taxes or surrender charges that may be applicable to a particular contract.

 

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

 

Total Returns

 

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

Table of Contents

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

 

P (1 + T)N = ERV

 

Where:

T

   =    The average annual total return net of subaccount recurring charges.

ERV

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

P

   =    A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.

N

   =    The number of years in the period.

 

Other Performance Data

 

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

 

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

 

CTR = (ERV / P)-1

 

Where:

CTR

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

ERV

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

P

   =    A hypothetical initial payment of $1,000.

 

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

 

Adjusted Historical Performance Data

 

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

 

PUBLISHED RATINGS

 

Transamerica may from time to time publish in advertisements, sales literature and reports to owners, the ratings and other information assigned to it by one or more independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best

 

31


Table of Contents

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

 

STATE REGULATION OF TRANSAMERICA

 

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

 

ADMINISTRATION

 

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

 

RECORDS AND REPORTS

 

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

 

DISTRIBUTION OF THE CONTRACTS

 

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

 

AFSG Securities Corporation, an affiliate of Transamerica, is the principal underwriter of the contracts and may enter into agreements with broker-dealers for the distribution of the contracts. During fiscal year 2003 and 2002, $4,218,824.33 and $17,357,266.88, respectively, commissions were paid to AFSG Securities Corporation as underwriter of the contracts; no amounts were retained by AFSG Securities Corporation.

VOTING RIGHTS

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

OTHER PRODUCTS

 

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

 

CUSTODY OF ASSETS

 

Transamerica holds assets of each of the subaccounts. The assets of each of the subaccounts are segregated and held separate and apart from the assets of the other subaccounts and from Transamerica’s general account assets. Transamerica maintains records of all purchases and redemptions of shares of the underlying fund portfolios held by each of the subaccounts. Additional protection for the assets of the variable account is afforded by

Report of Independent Auditors

 

The Board of Directors

Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company

 

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis balance sheets of Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, 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, 2003. Our audits also included the accompanying statutory-basis financial statement schedules required by Article 7 of Regulation S-X. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits 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 Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa, which practices differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The variances between such practices and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States also are described in Note 1. The effects on the financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

 

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, the financial position of Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2003 and 2002, or the results of its operations or its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003.

However, in our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the results of its operations and its cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. 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 described in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2003 Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company changed its accounting policy for derivative instruments.

 

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2002 Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company changed various accounting policies to be in accordance with Actuarial Guideline 39.

 

As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, in 2001 Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company changed various accounting policies to be in accordance with the revised NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual, as adopted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa.

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a stock life insurance company domiciled in Iowa. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Transamerica Service Company, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation (Transamerica). Transamerica is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEGON N.V., a holding company organized under the laws of The Netherlands. At December 31, 2003, the Company has one wholly-owned insurance subsidiary, Transamerica Life Insurance and Annuity Company (TALIAC).

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company engages in providing life insurance, pension and annuity products, reinsurance, structured settlements and investment products which are distributed through a network of independent and company-affiliated agents and independent brokers. The Company’s customers are primarily in the United States and are distributed in 49 states and the District of Columbia.

 

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

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

 

Investments: Investments in bonds and mandatory redeemable preferred stocks are reported at amortized cost or market value based on their rating by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC); for GAAP, such fixed maturity investments would be designated at purchase as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale. Held-to-maturity fixed investments would be reported at amortized cost, and the remaining fixed maturity investments would be reported at fair value with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in operations for those designated as trading and as a separate component of capital and surplus for those designated as available-for-sale.

 

All single class and multi-class mortgage-backed/asset-backed securities (e.g., CMOs) are adjusted for the effects of changes in prepayment assumptions on the related accretion of discount or amortization of premium of such securities using either the retrospective or prospective methods. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to the undiscounted estimated future cash flows. Prior to April 1, 2001 under GAAP, changes in prepayment assumptions were accounted for in the same manner. Effective April 1, 2001 for GAAP purposes, all securities, purchased or retained, that represent beneficial interests in securitized assets, other than high credit quality securities, are adjusted using the prospective method when there is a change in estimated future cash flows. If it is determined that a decline in fair value is other than temporary, the cost basis of the security is written down to fair value. If high credit quality securities are adjusted, the retrospective method is used.

 

Derivative instruments 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. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, 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, and the change in fair value for cash flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of capital and surplus rather than to income as could be required under GAAP for fair value hedges.

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

 

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 changes in fair value reported in income.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Valuation Reserves: Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers the portion of realized capital gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity of the bond or mortgage loan. That net deferral is reported as the “interest maintenance reserve” (IMR) in the accompanying balance sheets. Realized capital gains and losses are reported in income net of federal income tax and transfers to the IMR. Under GAAP, realized capital gains and losses would be reported in the statement of operations on a pretax basis in the period that the assets giving rise to the gains or losses are sold.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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 and benefits incurred represent the total of surrender and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received for and benefits incurred for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk are recorded using deposit accounting, and recorded directly to an appropriate policy reserve account, without recognizing premium income or benefits paid. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits. Under GAAP, for universal life,

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Reinsurance: A liability for reinsurance balances has been provided for unsecured policy reserves ceded to reinsurers not authorized to assume such business. Changes to those amounts are credited or charged directly to unassigned surplus. Under GAAP, an allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible would be established through a charge to earnings.

 

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

 

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

 

Deferred Income Taxes: 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 by the end of the subsequent calendar year, plus 2) the lesser of the remaining gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized within one year of the balance sheet date or 10 percent of capital and surplus excluding any net deferred income tax assets, EDP 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. The remaining deferred income tax assets are nonadmitted. 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 future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets not expected to be realizable.

Policyholder Dividends: Policyholder dividends are recognized when declared rather than over the term of the related policies.

 

Surplus Notes: Surplus notes are reported as surplus rather than as liabilities.

 

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

 

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

 

Investments

 

Investments in bonds (except those to which the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC (SVO) has ascribed a value), mortgage loans on real estate and short-term investments are reported at cost adjusted for amortization of premiums and accrual of discounts. Amortization is computed using methods which result in a level yield over the expected life of the investment. The Company reviews its prepayment assumptions on mortgage and other asset-backed securities at regular intervals and adjusts amortization rates retrospectively when such assumptions are changed due to experience and/or expected future patterns. Investments in affiliated and non-affiliated preferred stocks in good standing are reported at cost. Investments in preferred stocks not in good standing are reported at the lower of cost or market. Common stocks of unaffiliated companies are carried at market value and the related unrealized capital gains or losses are reported in unassigned surplus. Common stock of the Company’s affiliated insurance subsidiaries are recorded at the equity in statutory-basis net assets. Real estate is reported at cost less allowances for depreciation. Depreciation of real estate is computed principally by the straight-line method. Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal. Other invested assets consist principally of investments in various joint ventures and limited partnerships, which are recorded at equity in underlying net assets, and derivative financial instruments, which are valued in accordance with the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual and Purposes and Procedures Manual of the SVO.

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

 

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 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.

 

Realized capital gains and losses are determined on the basis of specific identification and are recorded net of related federal income taxes. The AVR is established by the Company to provide for potential losses in the event of default by issuers of certain invested assets. These amounts are determined using a formula prescribed by the NAIC and are reported as a liability. The formula for the AVR provides for a corresponding adjustment for realized gains and losses. Under a formula prescribed by the NAIC, the Company defers, in the IMR, the portion of realized gains and losses on sales of fixed income investments, principally bonds and mortgage loans, attributable to changes in the general level of interest rates and amortizes those deferrals over the remaining period to maturity of the security.

 

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

 

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 on real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Further, income is not accrued when collection is uncertain. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company excluded investment income due and accrued of $16,196 and $20,367, respectively, with respect to such practices.

 

Derivative Instruments

 

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Statement of Statutory Accounting Principles (SSAP) No. 86, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In accordance with SSAP No. 86, derivative instruments that qualify for special hedge accounting are valued and reported in a manner consistent with the hedged asset or

 

16


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

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

 

liability. To qualify for special hedge accounting, the Company must maintain specific documentation regarding the risk management objectives of the hedge and demonstrate on an ongoing basis that the hedging relationship remains highly effective. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value and the changes in the fair value are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. This change in accounting principle had no impact on capital and surplus.

 

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 hedged 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 amortized cost, in 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 hedged instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in capital and surplus.

 

Interest rate basis swaps are used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the hedged liability to mitigate the basis risk of assets and liabilities resetting on different indices. These interest rate swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between a floating rate on one index to a floating rate of another index, based upon an underlying notional amount. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged at each due date. Swaps meeting hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally amortized cost, in 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 hedged instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in capital and surplus.

 

The Company may hold foreign denominated assets or liabilities and cross currency swaps are utilized to convert the asset or liability to a US denominated security. Cross currency swap agreements are contracts to exchange two principal amounts of two currencies at the prevailing exchange rate at inception of the contract. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating rate interest payments in the

 

17


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

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

 

swapped currencies. At maturity, the principal amounts are again swapped at a predetermined rate of exchange. Each asset or liability is hedged individually and the terms of the swap must meet the terms of the underlying instrument. These swaps meet hedge accounting rules and are carried at amortized cost, consistent with the manner in which the hedged items are carried. 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.

 

The Company issues products providing the customer a return based on the S&P and NASDAQ indices. The Company uses S&P 500 and NASDAQ 1000 futures contracts and/or options to hedge the liability option risk associated with these products. Futures are marked to market on a daily basis and a cash payment is made or received by the Company. These payments are recognized as realized gains or losses in the financial statements. Options are marked to fair value in the balance sheet and the fair value adjustment is recorded as income in the financial statements.

 

An interest rate floor provides a receipt of payments in the event interest rates fall below the strike rates in the contract. An interest rate floor is designed to generate cash flows to offset lower cash flows received on assets during low interest rate environments. The Company pays a single premium at the beginning of the contract. These interest rate floors are marked to fair value in the balance sheet and the fair value adjustment is recorded in capital and surplus.

 

The Company may invest in capped floating rate commercial mortgage loans and use interest rate caps to convert the commercial mortgage loan into a pure floating rate asset in order to meet its overall asset/liability strategy. Each mortgage loan is hedged individually and the relevant terms of the asset and derivative must be the same. These caps require a premium to be paid at the onset of the contract and the Company benefits from the receipt of payments should rates rise above the strike rate. These derivatives meet hedge accounting rules and are carried at amortized cost in the financial statements. A gain or loss upon early termination would be reflected in the IMR similar to the underlying instrument.

 

The Company may sell products with expected benefit payments extending beyond investment assets currently available in the market. Because assets will have to be purchased in the future to fund future liability cash flows, the Company is exposed to the

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

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

 

risk of future investments made at lower yields than what is assumed at the time of pricing. Forward-starting interest rate swaps are utilized to lock-in the current interest rate environment for the future. These forward-starting swaps meet hedge accounting rules and are carried at cost in the financial statements. Gains and losses realized upon termination of the forward-starting swap are deferred and used to adjust the basis of the asset purchased in the hedged forecasted period. The basis adjustment is then amortized into income as a yield adjustment to the asset over its life.

 

The Company may issue foreign denominated assets or 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 gain 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 to 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. 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 of the contract will be made by the Company and recognized as a capital loss. The Company complies with the specific rules established in AVR for replication transactions.

 

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, the Company is required to post assets.

These 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.

 

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 benefits incurred represent the total of surrender and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. These revenues are recognized when due. Consideration 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 or benefits paid.

 

Aggregate Policy Reserves

 

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

 

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

 

Tabular interest, tabular less actual reserves released, and tabular cost have been determined by formula. Tabular interest on funds not involving life contingencies has also been determined by formula.

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based principally upon the 1941, 1958, and 1980 Commissioners’ Standard Ordinary Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2.25 to 6.00 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Methods. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioners’ Reserve Valuation Method.

 

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest. Reserves for immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 12.00 percent and mortality rates, where appropriate, from a variety of tables.

 

Annuity reserves also include guaranteed investment 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 cash settlement options, on a change in fund basis, according to the Commissioners’ Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.

 

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

 

Policy and Contract Claim Reserves

 

Claim reserves represent the estimated accrued liability for claims reported to the Company and claims incurred but not yet reported through the statement date. These reserves are estimated using either individual case-basis valuations or statistical analysis techniques. These estimates are subject to the effects of trends in claim severity and frequency, and are continually reviewed and adjusted as necessary as experience develops or new information becomes available.

Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts

 

Deposit-type contracts do not incorporate risk from the death or disability of policyholders. These types of contracts may include GICs, funding agreements and other annuity contracts. Deposits and withdrawals received on these contracts are recorded as an increase or decrease directly to the liability balance, and are not reported as premiums, benefits or changes in reserve in the statement of operations.

 

Municipal Reverse Repurchase Agreements

 

Municipal reverse repurchase agreements are investment contracts issued to municipalities that pay either a fixed or floating rate of interest on the guaranteed deposit balance. The floating interest rate is based on a market index. The related liabilities are equal to the policyholder deposit and accumulated interest on the contract.

 

Separate Accounts

 

Assets held in trust for purchases of variable annuity contracts and the Company’s corresponding obligation to the contract owners are shown separately in the balance sheets. The assets in the separate accounts are valued at market. Income and gains and losses with respect to the assets in the separate accounts 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 $41,068, $131,583, and $191,967 in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. In addition, the Company received $32,088, $38,359, and $34,348 in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, related to fees associated with investment management, administration and contractual guarantees for separate accounts.

Reinsurance Ceded

 

Coinsurance premiums, commissions, expense reimbursements, and reserves related to reinsured business are accounted for on bases consistent with those used in accounting for the original policies and the terms of the reinsurance contracts. Gains associated with reinsurance of inforce blocks of business are included in unassigned surplus and will be amortized into income over the estimated life of the policies. Premiums ceded and recoverable losses have been reported as a reduction of premium income and benefits, respectively.

 

Prior Year Adjustments

 

Prior year adjustments charged directly to surplus in 2001 relate to various suspense account adjustments of $3,410. These adjustments were made to balances in existence at December 31, 2000 and this write off has been treated as a correction of an error.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2002 and 2001 financial statements to conform to the 2003 presentation.

 

2. Accounting Changes

 

Effective January 1, 2003, the Company adopted SSAP No. 86 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. In accordance with SSAP No. 86, derivative instruments that qualify for special hedge accounting are valued and reported in a manner consistent with the hedged asset or liability. To qualify for special hedge accounting, the Company must maintain specific documentation regarding the risk management objectives of the hedge and demonstrate on an ongoing basis that the hedging relationship remains highly effective. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value and the changes in the fair value are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. This change in accounting principle had no impact on capital and surplus as of January 1, 2003.

2. Accounting Changes (continued)

 

On December 31, 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Actuarial Guideline 39. The purpose of Guideline 39 is to interpret the standards for the valuation of reserves for guaranteed living benefits included in variable deferred and immediate annuity contracts. The cumulative effect of adopting Guideline 39 on December 31, 2002 was $108,739, which was charged directly to unassigned surplus as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.

 

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

 

Accounting changes adopted to conform to the provisions of the NAIC Accounting Practices and Procedures Manual are reported as changes in accounting principles. The cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles is reported as an adjustment to unassigned surplus in the period of the change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect is the difference between the amount of capital and surplus at the beginning of the year and the amount of capital and surplus that would have been reported at that date if the new accounting principles had been applied retroactively for all prior periods. As a result of these changes, the Company reported a change of accounting principle, as an adjustment that increased capital and surplus, of $59,703 as of January 1, 2001. This amount was made up by the establishment of deferred income tax assets of $58,009 and investment adjustments that increased surplus by $12,724, offset by the establishment of a guaranty fund accrual of $4,317 and the establishment of a vacation accrual amount of $6,713.

3. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

 

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

 

Mortgage loans on real estate and policy loans: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated utilizing discounted cash flow analyses, using interest rates reflective of current market conditions and the risk characteristics of the loans. The fair value of policy loans is assumed to equal their carrying amount.

 

Interest rate floors, caps, swaps, and swaptions and currency swaps: Estimated fair value of interest rate floors and caps are based upon the latest quoted market price. Estimated fair value of swaps, including interest rate swaps and swaptions and currency swaps, are based upon the pricing differential for similar swap agreements. The carrying value of these items is included with other invested assets on the balance sheet.

 

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

 

Short-term notes payable to affiliates: The fair value for short-term notes payable to affiliates approximate their carrying value.

 

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

 

Investment contracts: Fair values for the Company’s liabilities under investment-type insurance contracts are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations, based on interest rates currently being offered for similar contracts with maturities consistent with those remaining for the contracts being valued.

3. Fair Values of Financial Instruments (continued)

 

Separate account annuity liabilities: The fair value for certain separate account annuity liabilities included in the total herein approximates the market value of the separate account assets, while the fair value for other separate account annuity liabilities is estimated using discounted cash flow calculations.

 

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

 

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

The Company regularly monitors industry sectors and individual debt securities for signs of impairment, including length of time and extent to which the market value of debt securities has been less than cost; industry risk factors; financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer; and nationally recognized credit rating agency rating changes. Additionally for asset-backed securities, cash flow trends and underlying levels of collateral are monitored. A specific security is considered to be impaired when it is determined that it is probable that not all amounts due (both principal and interest) will be collected as scheduled. Consideration is also given to management’s intent and ability to hold a security until maturity or until fair value will recover.

The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce market risk in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposures arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. An interest rate swap is an arrangement whereby two parties (counterparties) enter into an agreement to exchange periodic interest payments. The dollar amount the counterparties pay each other is an agreed-upon period interest rate multiplied by an underlying notional amount. Generally, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the contract and no principal payments are made by either party. The Company also uses cross currency swaps to reduce market risk in foreign currencies and to alter exchange exposure arising from mismatches between assets and liabilities. A notional currency exchange occurs at the beginning and end of the contract. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating interest payments in its swapped currency. All swap transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements providing for a single net payment to be made by one counterparty at each due date.

 

Under exchange traded currency futures and options, the Company agrees to purchase a specified number of contracts with other parties and to post a variation margin on a daily basis in an amount equal to the difference in the daily market values of those contracts. The parties with whom the Company enters into exchange traded futures and options are regulated futures commissions merchants who are members of a trading exchange.

The Company may issue foreign denominated assets or liabilities and uses forward rate agreements to hedge foreign currency risk associated with its foreign denominated assets or liabilities. Cash payments and/or receipts represent the difference between market values and those of the contracts.

 

An interest rate floor provides for the receipt of payments in the event interest rates fall below the strike rates in the contract. The floor is designed to generate cash flows to offset the lower cash flows received on assets during low interest rate environments. The Company may also invest in capped floating rate commercial mortgage loans and use interest rate caps to convert the commercial mortgage loan into a pure floating rate asset in order to meet its overall asset/liability strategy. Interest rate caps provide for the receipt of payments when interest rates rise above the strike rates in the contract. A single premium is paid by the Company at the beginning of the interest rate cap/floor contracts.

 

The Company replicates investment grade corporate bonds by combining a AAA rated security with a credit default swap which, in effect, converts the high quality asset into a lower rated investment grade asset. Using the swap market to replicate credit enables the Company to enhance the relative values and ease of executing larger transactions in a shortened time frame. A premium is received by the Company on a periodic basis and recognized in investment income. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had replicated assets with a fair value of $208,728 and $73,876 and credit default swaps with a fair value of $2,048 and $(1,086), respectively. At December 31, 2001, the Company did not have any outstanding replication transactions. During the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, the Company has not recognized any capital losses related to replication transactions.

 

The Company issues products providing the customer a return based on the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 1000 indices. The Company uses S&P 500 and NASDAQ 1000 options to hedge the liability option risk associated with these products. Options are marked to fair value in the balance sheet and the fair value adjustment is recorded as income in the financial statements. The Company recognized income (expense) from options contracts in the amount of $1,452, $(2,118) and $9,399, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

 

The Company is exposed to credit related losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to financial instruments, but it does not expect any counterparty to fail to

meet their obligations given their high credit rating of ‘A’ or better. At December 31, 2003, the fair value of all contracts, aggregated at a counterparty level, with a positive fair value amounted to $20,609.

 

The Company has entered into collateral agreements with certain counterparties wherein the counterparty is required to post assets on the Company’s behalf in an amount equal to the difference between the net positive fair value of the contracts and an agreed upon threshold based on the credit rating of the counterparty. If the net fair value of all contracts with this counterparty is negative, then the Company is required to post assets.

 

The maximum term over which the Company is hedging its exposure to the variability of future cash flows for forecasted transactions is 19 years. If the forecasted asset purchase does not occur or is no longer highly probable of occurring, valuation at cost ceases and the forward-starting swap would be valued at its current fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in capital and surplus. For the year ended December 31, 2003, none of the Company’s cash flow hedges have been discontinued because it was no longer probable that the original forecasted transactions would occur by the end of the originally specified time period documented at inception of the hedging relationship.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company has recorded $(473) for the component of derivative instruments utilized for hedging purposes that did not qualify for hedge accounting. This has been recorded directly to unassigned surplus as an unrealized loss.

 

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company’s outstanding financial instruments with on and off balance sheet risks, shown in notional amounts are summarized as follows:

The Company utilizes futures contracts to hedge against changes in market conditions. Initial margin deposits are made by cash deposits or segregation of specific securities as may be required by the exchange on which the transaction was conducted. Pursuant to the contracts, the Company agrees to receive from or pay to the broker, an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Company as a variation margin receivable or payable on futures contracts. During the period the futures contracts are open, daily changes in the values of the contracts are recognized as realized gains or losses. When the contracts are closed, the Company recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Company’s cost basis in the contract. The Company recognized net realized gains (losses) from futures contracts in the amount of $1,005, $(558), and $(477) for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

5. Reinsurance

 

The Company is involved in both the cession and assumption of reinsurance with other companies, including affiliated companies. Risks are reinsured with other companies to permit the recovery of a portion of the direct losses. Ceded reinsured risks are treated as though, to the extent of the reinsurance, they are risks for which the Company is not liable.

5. Reinsurance (continued)

 

During 2001, the Company novated certain traditional life insurance contracts to AUSA Life Insurance Company, Inc. (AUSA), an affiliate, via an assumption reinsurance transaction. Under the terms of this agreement, a significant portion of the future statutory-basis profits from the contracts assumed by AUSA will be passed through to the Company as an experience rated refund. The Company recorded a deferred liability of $14,281 as a result of this transaction. The accretion of the deferred liability for 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $1,433, $1,385 and $1,428, respectively.

 

During 2001, the Company entered into a reinsurance transaction with Transamerica International Re (Bermuda) Ltd., an affiliate of the Company. Under the terms of this transaction, the Company ceded the obligation of future guaranteed minimum death benefits included in certain of its variable annuity contracts. The gain on the transaction of $28,967 was credited directly to unassigned surplus on a net of tax basis. Subsequent to the initial gain, the Company has amortized $1,883 and $1,883 for the years ended December 31, 2003, and 2002, respectively, into earnings with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus. At December 31, 2003, the Company holds collateral from this affiliate in the form of letters of credit of $373,986, covering this reinsurance agreement and others.

 

In 2000, the Company entered into a reinsurance transaction with two affiliated companies in which the Company assumed certain structured settlement liabilities on a funds withheld basis. As a result, the Company has recorded a related asset of $849,774 at December 31, 2003 and $830,952 at December 31, 2002.

expense as if it were filing a separate income tax return, except that tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards are determined on the basis of the consolidated group. Additionally, the alternative minimum tax is computed for the consolidated group and the resulting tax, if any, is allocated back to the separate companies on the basis of the separate companies’ alternative minimum taxable income.

 

The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined and closing agreements have been executed with the Internal Revenue Service through tax period ended July 21, 1999. An examination is underway for the short tax period from July 22 through December 31, 1999, and for calendar years 2000 and 2001.

 

Prior to 1984, as provided for under the Life Insurance Company Tax Act of 1959, a portion of statutory income was not subject to current taxation but was accumulated for income tax purposes in a memorandum account referred to as the “policyholders’ surplus account” (PSA). No federal income taxes have been provided for in the financial statements on income deferred in the PSA ($117,701 at December 31, 2003). To the extent that dividends are paid from the amount accumulated in the PSA, net earnings would be reduced by the amount of tax required to be paid. Should the entire amount in the PSA account become taxable, the tax thereon computed at the current rates would amount to approximately $41,195.

The assets consist primarily of fixed maturities and equity securities and are carried at estimated fair value. The Company provides a minimum guaranteed return to policyholders of certain separate accounts. Certain other separate accounts do not have any minimum guarantees and the investment risks associated with market value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder.

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, 2003 and 2002, these assets (which are reported as premiums deferred and uncollected) and the amounts of the related gross premiums and loadings, are as follows:

At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company had insurance in force aggregating $124,107,124 and $90,428,003, respectively, in which the gross premiums are less than the net premiums required by the standard valuation standards established by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. The Company established policy reserves of $213,634 and $92,769 to cover these deficiencies at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

7. Policy and Contract Attributes (continued)

 

During 2002, the Company converted to a new reserve valuation system for fixed deferred annuities and variable annuities. The new valuation system, which provides for more precise calculations, caused general account reserves to decrease by $12,510 and separate account reserves to increase by $6,393. The amounts relating to the general account were credited directly to unassigned surplus. The amounts related to the separate accounts are included in the change in surplus in separate accounts in the 2002 statement of changes in capital and surplus.

 

The Company enters into municipal reverse repurchase agreements for which it requires a minimum of 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred to be maintained as collateral. The Company has recorded liabilities of $507,380 and $493,975 for these agreements as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The reverse repurchase agreements are collateralized by government agency securities with book values of $605,422 and $507,416 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. These securities have maturity dates that range from 2010 to 2025 and have a weighted average interest rate of 4.42%.

 

8. Securities Lending

 

The Company participates in an agent managed securities lending program whereby it receives collateral equal to 102 or 105 percent of the fair market value of the loaned securities as of the transaction date for domestic or international securities, respectively. Securities loaned under this program are FNMAs with a book value of $50,937 at December 31, 2003. The counter party is mandated to deliver additional collateral if the fair market value of the collateral compared to the fair market value of the loaned securities falls below 100 percent for domestic securities or 105 percent for international securities. This additional collateral, along with the collateral already held in connection with the lending transaction must then be at least equal to 102 or 105 percent of the fair value of the loaned securities. Except for the notional amount of $50,937, the program requirements restrict the collateral from rehypothecation by any party involved in the transaction and has minimum limitations related to credit worthiness, duration and borrower levels. Liabilities are recorded with respect to the cash collateral received in connection with the securities on loan in the amount of $57,262 at December 31, 2003.

9. Dividend Restrictions

 

The Company is subject to limitations, imposed by the State of Iowa, on the payment of dividends to its parent company. Generally, dividends during any twelve-month period may not be paid, without prior regulatory approval, in excess of the greater of (a) 10 percent of the Company’s statutory surplus as of the preceding December 31, or (b) the Company’s statutory gain from operations before net realized capital gains (losses) on investments for the preceding year. Subject to the availability of unassigned surplus at the time of such dividend, the maximum payment which may be made in 2004, without the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities, is $212,419.

 

Life/health insurance companies are subject to certain risk-based capital (RBC) requirements as specified by the NAIC. Under those requirements, the amount of capital and surplus maintained by a life/health insurance company is to be determined based on the various risk factors related to it. At December 31, 2003, the Company meets the RBC requirements.

 

10. Capital Structure

 

During 2003, the Company redeemed 1,103,466 shares of common stock. This stock had a par value of $12.50 per share and the redemption proceeds were $825,000. The Company also issued 1,103,466 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $12.50 per share to an affiliate in the United Kingdom in exchange for $825,000. The holder of the preferred shares shall be entitled to receive dividends equal to a fixed rate of 6.33 percent of the issue price, compounded annually. The preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable by the Company on February 3, 2033. The redemption price of the preferred stock is equal to $747.64 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. At December 31, 2003, there is $1,160 of undeclared and unpaid cumulative dividends relating to the preferred shares. The Company’s total statutory capital was unchanged as a result of this recapitalization, and the Company continues to be 100 percent indirectly owned by AEGON NV.

 

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

 

During 2003 and 2002, the Company sold $4,104 and $3,721, respectively, of agent balances without recourse to Money Services, Inc., an affiliated company. The Company did not realize a gain or loss as a result of the sale.

12. Pension Plan and Other Postretirement Benefits

 

The Company’s employees participate in a qualified benefit plan sponsored by AEGON USA, Inc. (AEGON), an affiliate. The Company has no legal obligation for the plan. The Company recognizes pension expense equal to its allocation from AEGON. The pension expense is allocated among the participating companies based on the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 87 expense as a percent of salaries. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s compensation during the highest five consecutive years of employment. Pension expense aggregated $2,800, $3,322 and $3,515 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The plan is subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

 

In addition to pension benefits, the Company participates in plans sponsored by AEGON that provide postretirement medical, dental and life insurance benefits to employees meeting certain eligibility requirements. Portions of the medical and dental plans are contributory. The expenses of the postretirement plans are charged to affiliates in accordance with an intercompany cost sharing arrangement. The Company expensed $275, $378 and $496 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

 

13. Related Party Transactions

 

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

 

The Company receives data processing, investment advisory and management, marketing and administration services from certain affiliates. During 2003, 2002, and 2001, the Company paid $60,746, $54,165, and $31,310, respectively, for these services, which approximates their costs to the affiliates.

 

The Company received capital contributions of $-0-, $50,000, and $300,000 from its parent in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, in the form of cash. During 2002, the Company received a capital contribution of $228,679, which reflected a contribution of the parent’s membership interests in two limited liability companies, Transamerica Pyramid Properties LLC and Transamerica Realty Investment Properties LLC. The assets underlying both of these companies primarily consisted of real estate properties, the value of which was based on recent appraisals.

 

The Company paid dividends of $250,000 to stockholders during 2003. No dividends were paid in 2002 and 2001.

13. Related Party Transactions (continued)

 

During 2002, the Company received $200,000 from Transamerica in exchange for surplus notes. These notes are due 20 years from the date of issuance and are subordinate and junior in 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 surplus notes at December 31, 2003 is as follows:

Receivables from and payables to affiliates bear interest at the thirty-day commercial paper rate. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the Company has receivables from affiliates of $108,073 and $190,311, respectively, and short-term notes payable to affiliates of $141,300 and $214,000, respectively.

 

14. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is a defendant in various legal actions arising from its operations. These include legal actions similar to those faced by many other major life insurers which allege damages related to sales practices for universal life policies sold between January 1981 and June 1996. In one such action, the Company and plaintiff’s counsel entered into a settlement which was approved on June 26, 1997. The settlement required prompt notification to affected policyholders. Administrative and policy benefit costs associated with the settlement in 2003, 2002 and 2001 were not significant. Additional costs relating to ancillary litigation are not expected to be material and will be incurred over a period of years. In the opinion of the Company, any ultimate liability which might result from other litigation would not have a materially adverse effect on the combined financial position of the Company or the results of its operations.

 

The Company has contingent commitments for $137,722 as of December 31, 2003 to provide additional funding for various joint ventures, partnerships, and limited liability companies.

14. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

 

At December 31, 2003, the Company has mortgage loan commitments of $161,489.

 

The Company may pledge assets as collateral for transactions involving funding agreements. At December 31, 2003, the Company has pledged invested assets with a carrying value and market value of $788,259 and $811,136, respectively, in conjunction with these transactions.

 

At December 31, 2003, the Company had entered into multiple agreements with notional amounts of $937,242 for which it was paid a fee to provide standby letters of credit. The Company believes the chance of draws under these agreements is minimal. Any advances that would be made under these agreements would be repaid with interest.

 

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 has been based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Associations. 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 $6,193 and $11,781 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies. The guaranty fund expense (credit) was $201, $(785) and $197 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

 

In the normal course of business, the company has obtained letters of credit of $340,602 for the benefit of non affiliated companies that have reinsured business to TOLIC where the ceding companies state of domicile does not recognize the Company as an authorized reinsurer.

 

The Company has also provided a guarantee for the obligations of affiliates, AEGON Assignment Corporation and Transamerica Annuity Service Corporation. These entities accept assignments of structured settlement payment obligations from other insurers and purchase structured settlement insurance policies from subsidiaries of the Company that match those obligations. There are no expected payments associated with this guarantee.

Report of Independent Auditors

 

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners of the

Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage Variable Annuity,

Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Separate Account VA-2L of Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company (comprised of the Money Market, Balanced, Appreciation, Disciplined Stock, Growth and Income, International Equity, International Value, Limited Term High Yield, Quality Bond, Developing Leader, Small Company Stock, Special Value, Dreyfus Stock Index Fund, Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth, Core Bond, Core Value, Emerging Leaders, Founders Discovery, Founders Growth, Founders International Equity, MidCap Stock, Technology Growth, and Transamerica Equity subaccounts), which are available for investment by contract owners of the Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage Variable Annuity, as of December 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and changes in net assets for the two years in the period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of mutual fund shares owned as of December 31, 2003, by correspondence with the mutual funds’ transfer agents. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

* These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the underlying Series Fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that result in direct reductions in the unit values. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying Series Fund in which the subaccounts invest.

 

** These ratios represent the annualized contract expenses of the Mutual Fund Account, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges. The ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the underlying Series Fund are excluded. These charges range from .25% to .55% of the average contract owner's account value depending on the option selected. Refer to the products prospectus for specific details.

 

*** These amounts represent the total return for the period indicated, including changes in the value of the underlying Series Fund, and reflect deductions for all items included in the expense ratio. The total return does not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units; inclusion of these expenses in the calculation would result in a reduction in the total return presented. Total returns reflect a full twelve month period except for those subaccounts indicated as being a partial year in the Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies footnote and new expense ratios as follows:

Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage Variable Annuity

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2003

 

5. Administrative, Mortality, and Expense Risk Charge

 

An annual charge is deducted from the unit values of the subaccounts of the Mutual Fund Account for Transamerica Life's assumption of certain mortality and expense risks incurred in connection with the contract. The charge is assessed daily based on the net asset value of the account and ranges from 1.15% to 2.35%, depending on the death benefit selected. Contract owners should see their actual policy and any related attachments to determine their specific charges. An administrative expense charge is also deducted by Transamerica Life from each subaccount on a daily basis, which is equal, on an annual basis, to .15% of the daily net asset value of the subaccount. This amount may change, but it is guaranteed not to exceed a maximum effective annual rate of .25%.

 

The following charges are deducted from a contract holder’s account by Transamerica Life and not directly form the Separate Account. An annual contract fee is deducted at the end of each contract year prior to the annuity date. Currently, this charge is $30 (or 2% of the account value, if less). After the annuity date this charge is referred to as the Annuity Fee. The Annuity Fee is $30.

 

6. Income Taxes

 

Operations of the Mutual Fund Account form a part of Transamerica Life, which is taxed as a life insurance company under Subchapter L of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The operations of the Mutual Fund Account are accounted for separately from other operations of Transamerica Life for purposes of federal income taxation. The Mutual Fund Account is not separately taxable as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and is not otherwise taxable as an entity separate from Transamerica Life. Under existing federal income tax laws, the income of the Mutual Fund Account is not taxable to Transamerica Life, as long as earnings are credited under the variable annuity contracts.

 

7. Dividend Distributions

 

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

Item 27.    Number of Certificate Owners

 

As of December 31, 2003 there were 28,203 Owners of Contracts.

 

Item 28.    Indemnification

 

The Iowa Code (Sections 490.850 et. seq.) provides for permissive indemnification in certain situations, mandatory indemnification in other situations, and prohibits indemnification in certain situations. The code also specifies procedures for determining when indemnification payments can be made.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Depositor pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Depositor has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered), the Depositor will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be goverened by the final adjudication of such issue.
