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 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 Appendix A. Each subaccount invests exclusively in shares of one of the underlying fund 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 of several underlying fund portfolios listed under Appendix A in this prospectus and described in the underlying fund prospectuses. 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.

 

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.

 

 

6


Table of Contents

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 optional Initial Payment Guarantee, then there is a daily fee (during the income phase) 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, then there is an annual rider fee during the accumulation phase of 0.25% of the account value.

 

If you elect the Additional Death Benefit Rider II, then 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 fund 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.

 

 

7


Table of Contents

Access to amounts held in qualified contracts may be restricted or prohibited by law or regulation or the terms of the plan.

Surrenders are not generally permitted during the income phase unless you elect the Life with Emergency Cash® 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. Required distribution rules require that the policy value be distributed upon the death of any owner.

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 optional 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 come out first for federal tax purposes, and are taxed as ordinary income. 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. If you are younger than 59 1/2 when you take money out, you may incur a 10% federal penalty tax on the taxable earnings.

 

10. ADDITIONAL FEATURES

This contract has additional features that might interest you. These include, but are not limited to, 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 “ADB II”. There is an extra charge for these riders.

 

 

8


Table of Contents
 

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, or any other means acceptable to the Company. 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 choices 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, may not each be

available in combination with other optional benefits under the policy, 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 10 days (after you receive the contract), or whatever longer time may be required by state law. The contract will then be deemed void. If state law requires, we will refund your original purchase payment(s).

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.

Older Contracts. See Appendix C for information on how older contracts have different features and requirements, and sometimes different fees and deductions.

Section 1035 Exchanges. Before exchanging one annuity contract for another under Section 1035 of the Internal Revenue Code (“1035 Exchange”), you should compare both annuities carefully. If you exchange an annuity contract for the contract described in this prospectus, you might have to pay a surrender charge and tax, including a penalty tax, on your old annuity contract, there will be a new surrender charge period for this contract, other fees and charges may be higher (or lower) under this contract, and the benefits under this contract may be different. You should not exchange another annuity contract for this contract unless you determine, after knowing all of the facts, that the exchange is in your best interest and not just better for the person trying to sell you this contract. If

Table of Contents

you decide to purchase this contract through a 1035 Exchange, you should speak to your financial professional or tax advisor to make sure that the transaction will be tax free. If you surrender your old annuity contract for cash and then buy a new annuity contract, for example, you will have to pay tax on the surrender.

State Variations. Policies issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than, those described in this prospectus because of state law variations. These differences include, among other things, free look rights, issue age limitations, and the general availability of riders. Please note that this prospectus describes the material rights and obligations of a policy owner, and the maximum fees and charges for all policy features and benefits are set forth in the fee table of this prospectus. See your contract for specific variations because any such state variations will be included in your contract or in riders or endorsements attached to your contract. See your agent or contact us for specific information that may be applicable to your state.

Financial Statements. Financial Statements for Transamerica and the subaccounts are in the SAI.

Condensed financial information for the subaccounts (those in operation before January 1, 2012) is in Appendix B to this prospectus.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year, the highest expenses of any of the portfolios for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the base contract with the Doubled Enhanced Death Benefit, Liquidity Rider, and Additional Death Benefit Rider II.

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.    $1095    $1939    $2289    $4490

If the contract is annuitized at the end of the applicable time period

Or if you do not surrender your contract.

   $462    $1392    $2289    $4490

For information concerning compensation paid for the sale of the contracts, see “Distributor of the Contracts.”

 

(1) 

The fee table applies only to the accumulation phase. During the accumulation phase the fees may be different that those described in the Annuity Contract Fee Table. See Section 5, Expenses.

 

(2) 

The surrender charge, if any is imposed, applies to each contract, regardless of how account value is allocated among the investment choices. The surrender charge is decreased based on the number of years since the purchase payment was made.

If you select the Life with Emergency Cash® 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 investment choices. There is no fee for the first 18 transfers per policy year. For additional transfers, Transamerica may charge a fee of $10 per transfer.

 

(4) 

We may deduct a charge for special services, including overnight delivery, duplicate policies; non-sufficient checks on new business; duplicate 1099 and 5498 tax forms; duplicate disclosure documents and semi-annual reports; check copies; printing and mailing previously submitted forms; and asset verification requests from mortgage companies. In addition, we may consider as special services customer initiated changes, modifications and transactions which are submitted in such a manner as to require the Company to incur additional processing costs.

 

(5) 

The mortality and expense risk fee shown (1.15%) is for the accumulation phase with 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 and administrative fees.

 

(7) 

The fee for the “Annual-Step Death Benefit” (0.20%) is in addition to the mortality and expense risk and administrative fees.

 

(8) 

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

 

(9) 

The Premium Accelerator fee (0.20%) is only deducted in the first nine contract years.

 

(10) 

This reflects the base separate account expenses plus the Double Enhanced Death Benefit and Liquidity Rider, but does not include any annual optional rider fees.

 

(11) 

In some cases, riders to the policy are available that provide optional benefits that are not described in detail in this prospectus. There are additional fees (each year) for those riders.

 

(12) 

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

 

(13) 

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

 

(14) 

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit fee is 0.45% of the minimum annuitization value and is deducted only during the accumulation phase. If you annuitize under the rider, a guaranteed payment fee is deducted at an annual rate of 1.25%. See Appendix F.

Table of Contents
1. THE ANNUITY CONTRACT

This prospectus describes the Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage® Variable Annuity contract issued by Transamerica 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 you will receive stabilized annuity payments that will never be less than a percentage of your initial annuity payment. 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.

Do not purchase this contract if you plan to use it, or any of its riders, for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme. Your contract is not intended or designed to be traded on any stock exchange or secondary market. By purchasing this contract, you represent and warrant that you are not using the contract, or any of its riders for resale, speculation, arbitrage, viatication, or any other type of collective investment scheme.

 

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 Life Insurance Company and send them to the Administrative Office. Your check must be honored in order for Transamerica to pay any associated payments and benefits due under the contract.

 

 

13


Table of Contents

We do not accept cash. We reserve the right to not accept third party checks. A third party check is a check that is made payable to one person who endorses it and offers it as payment to a second person. Checks should normally be payable to Transamerica Life Insurance Company, however, in some circumstances, at our discretion we may accept third party checks that are from rollovers or transfers from other financial institutions. Any third party checks not accepted by the Company will be returned.

We reserve the right to reject or accept any form of payment. Any unacceptable forms of payment will be returned.

Maximum Total Purchase Payments

For issue ages 0 – 80 we reserve the right to require prior approval of any cumulative purchase payments over $1,000,000 for contracts with the same owner or same annuitant issued. For issue ages over 80, we reserve the right to require prior approval of any cumulative purchase payments over $500,000 for contracts with the same owner or same annuitant issued by us or an affiliate.

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, by telephone or any other means acceptable to the Company, 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 usually closes at 4:00 p.m. eastern time. Holidays are generally not business days.

 

3. INVESTMENT CHOICES

The Variable Account

The Dreyfus/Transamerica Triple Advantage® variable annuity offers you a means of investing in various underlying fund portfolios offered by different investment companies (by investing in the corresponding subaccounts). The companies that provide investment advice and administrative services for the underlying fund portfolios offered through this Contract are listed in “Appendix A – Portfolios Associated with the Subaccounts”. The subaccounts invest in shares of the various underlying fund portfolios.

 

 

14


Table of Contents

The general public may not purchase shares of these underlying fund 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 fund portfolios to be the same as those of other underlying fund portfolios.

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

Selection of Underlying Fund Portfolios

The underlying fund portfolios offered through this product are selected by Transamerica, and Transamerica may consider various factors, including, but not limited to, asset class coverage, the strength of the adviser’s or sub-adviser’s reputation and tenure, brand recognition, performance, and the capability and qualification of each investment firm. Another factor that we may consider is whether the underlying fund portfolio or its service providers (e.g., the investment adviser or sub-advisers) or its affiliates will make payments to us or our affiliates. For additional information about these arrangements, see “Revenue We Receive.” We review the portfolios periodically and may remove a portfolio, or limit its availability to new premiums and/or transfers of cash value if we determine that a portfolio no longer satisfies one or more of the selection criteria, and/or if the portfolio has not attracted significant allocations from owners. We have included the Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”) underlying fund portfolios at least in part because they are managed by one of our affiliates, Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”).

We have developed this variable annuity product in cooperation with The Dreyfus Corporation and its affiliates, and have included underlying fund portfolios based on their recommendations; their selection criteria may differ from our selection criteria.

You are responsible for choosing the subaccounts which invest in the underlying fund portfolios, and the amounts allocated to each, that are appropriate for your own individual circumstances and your investment goals, financial situation, and risk tolerance. Because investment risk is borne by you, decisions regarding investment allocations should be carefully considered.

In making your investment selections, we encourage you to thoroughly investigate all of the information regarding the underlying fund portfolios that is available to you, including each underlying fund portfolio’s prospectus, statement of additional information and annual and semi/annual reports. Other sources such as the Fund’s website or newspapers and financial and other magazines provide more current information, including information about any regulatory actions or investigations relating to a Fund or underlying fund portfolio. After you select underlying fund portfolios for your initial premium, you should monitor and periodically re-evaluate your allocations to determine if they are still appropriate.

You bear the risk of any decline in the cash value of your policy resulting from the performance of the underlying fund portfolios you have chosen.

We do not recommend or endorse any particular underlying fund portfolio and we do not provide investment advice.

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.

 

 

15


Table of Contents

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 subaccount2 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 affecting 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 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.

Similarly, Transamerica may, at its discretion, close a subaccount to new investments. Any subsequent purchase payments (including dollar cost averaging transactions) or transfers (including asset rebalance program transactions) into a closed subaccount will be re-allocated to the remaining available investment choices according to the investment allocation instructions you previously provided. If your previous

investment allocation instructions do not include any available investment choices, Transamerica will require new instructions. If Transamerica does not receive new instructions, the requested transaction will be canceled and any purchase payment will be returned. Under asset rebalance programs the value remaining in the closed subaccount will be excluded from any future rebalancing. The value of the closed subaccount will continue to fluctuate due to portfolio performance, and may exceed the original rebalance percentages you requested. As you consider your overall investment strategy within your contract, you should also consider whether or not to re-allocate the value remaining in the closed subaccount to another investment choice. If you decide to re-allocate the value of the closed subaccount, you will need to provide us with instructions to achieve your goal. Under certain situations involving annuitizations (e.g., contract reached maximum annuity commencement date) if an investment choice is closed to new investment, the amount that would have been allocated thereto will instead be used to purchase annuity units pro-rata in the other investment choices you have purchased annuity units in and which are open to new investment. Moreover, in certain situations involving death benefit adjustments for continued contracts, if an investment choice is closed to new investment, the amount that would have been allocated thereto will instead be allocated pro-rata to the other investment choices you have value allocated to and which are open to new investment.

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

 

 

16


Table of Contents

separate account associated with the contracts to another account or accounts, (2) restrict or eliminate any voting rights of owners or other persons who have voting rights as to the separate account, (3) create new separate accounts, (4) add new subaccounts to or remove existing subaccounts from the separate account, or combine subaccounts, or (5) add new underlying fund portfolios, or substitute a new fund for an existing fund.

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 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 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

 

 

17


Table of Contents
 

transfers during the current contract year. If it is a positive adjustment, we do not limit the amount that you can transfer. (Note: This restriction may prolong the period of time it takes to transfer the full amount in a guaranteed period option of the fixed account. You should carefully consider whether investment in the fixed account meets your needs and investment criteria.)

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 at our Administrative Office 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 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.”

Market Timing and Disruptive Trading

Statement of Policy. This variable annuity was not designed to accommodate market timing or frequent or large transfers among the subaccounts or between the subaccounts and the fixed account. (Both frequent and large transfers may be considered disruptive.)

Market timing and disruptive trading can adversely affect you, other owners, beneficiaries and underlying fund portfolios. The adverse effects may 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 prices 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 (a) impeding a portfolio manager’s ability to seek or sustain an investment objective; (b) causing the underlying fund portfolio to maintain a higher level of cash than would otherwise be the case; or (c) 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 owners invested in those subaccounts, not just those making the transfers.

We have developed policies and procedures with respect to market timing and disruptive trading (which vary for certain subaccounts at the request of the corresponding underlying fund portfolios) and we do not make special arrangements or grant exceptions to accommodate market timing or potentially disruptive trading. As discussed herein, we cannot detect or deter all market timing or potentially disruptive trading. Do not invest with us if you intend to conduct market timing or potentially disruptive trading or have concerns about our inability to detect or prevent any such trading.

Detection. We employ various means in an attempt to detect and deter market timing and disruptive trading. However, despite our monitoring we may not be able to detect nor halt all harmful trading. In addition, because other insurance companies (and retirement plans) with different policies and procedures may invest in the underlying fund portfolios, we cannot guarantee that all harmful trading will be detected or that an underlying fund portfolio will not suffer harm from market timing and disruptive trading among subaccounts of variable products issued by these other insurance companies or retirement plans.

 

 

18


Table of Contents

Deterrence. If we determine that you or anyone acting on your behalf is engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, we may take one or more actions in an attempt to halt such trading. Your ability to make transfers is subject to modification or restriction if we determine, in our sole opinion, that your exercise of the transfer privilege may disadvantage or potentially harm the rights or interests of other owners (or others having an interest in the variable insurance products). As described below, restrictions may take various forms, but under our current policies and procedures will include loss of expedited transfer privileges. We consider transfers by telephone, fax, overnight mail, or the Internet to be “expedited” transfers. This means that we would accept only written transfer requests with an original signature transmitted to us only by U.S. mail. We may also restrict the transfer privileges of others acting on your behalf, including your registered representative or an asset allocation or investment advisory service.

We reserve the right to reject any premium payment or transfer request from any person without prior notice, if, in our judgment, (1) the premium payment or transfer, or series of premium payments or transfers, would have a negative impact on an underlying fund portfolio’s operations, or (2) if an underlying fund portfolio would reject or has rejected our purchase order or has instructed us not to allow that purchase or transfer, or (3) because of a history of market timing or disruptive trading. We may impose other restrictions on transfers, or even prohibit transfers for any owner who, in our view, has abused, or appears likely to abuse, the transfer privilege on a case-by-case basis. We may, at any time and without prior notice, discontinue transfer privileges, modify our procedures, impose holding period requirements or limit the number, size, frequency, manner, or timing of transfers we permit. Because determining whether to impose any such special restrictions depends on our judgment and discretion, it is possible that some owners could engage

in disruptive trading that is not permitted for others. We also reserve the right to reverse a potentially harmful transfer if an underlying fund portfolio refuses or reverses our order; in such instances some owners may be treated differently than others in that some transfers may be reversed and others allowed. For all of these purposes, we may aggregate two or more trades or variable insurance products that we believe are connected by owner or persons engaged in trading on behalf of owners.

In addition, transfers for multiple policies invested in the Transamerica Series Trust underlying fund portfolios which are submitted together may be disruptive at certain levels. At the present time, such aggregated transactions likely will not cause disruption if less than one million dollars total is being transferred with respect to any one underlying fund portfolio (a smaller amount may apply to smaller portfolios). Please note that transfers of less than one million dollars may be disruptive in some circumstances and this general amount may change quickly.

Please note: If you engage a third party investment adviser for asset allocation services, then you may be subject to these transfer restrictions because of the actions of your investment adviser in providing these services.

In addition to our internal policies and procedures, we will administer your variable annuity to comply with any applicable state, federal, and other regulatory requirements concerning transfers. We reserve the right to implement, administer, and charge you for any fee or restriction, including redemption fees, imposed by any underlying fund portfolio. To the extent permitted by law, we also reserve the right to defer the transfer privilege at any time that we are unable to purchase or redeem shares of any of the underlying fund portfolios.

Under our current policies and procedures, we do not:

 

impose redemption fees on transfers; or

 

expressly limit the number or size of transfers in a given period except for certain

 

 

19


Table of Contents
 

subaccounts where an underlying fund portfolio has advised us to prohibit certain transfers that exceed a certain size; or

 

provide a certain number of allowable transfers in a given period.

Redemption fees, transfer limits, and other procedures or restrictions imposed by the underlying funds or our competitors may be more or less successful than ours in deterring market timing or other disruptive trading and in preventing or limiting harm from such trading.

In the absence of a prophylactic transfer restriction (e.g., expressly limiting the number of trades within a given period or limiting trades by their size), it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before it is detected and steps taken to deter it (although some level of market timing and disruptive trading can occur despite the imposition of a prophylactic transfer restriction). As noted above, we do not impose a prophylactic transfer restriction and, therefore, it is likely that some level of market timing and disruptive trading will occur before we are able to detect it and take steps in an attempt to deter it.

Please note that the limits and restrictions described herein are subject to our ability to monitor transfer activity. Our ability to detect market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by operational and technological systems, as well as by our ability to predict strategies employed by owners (or those acting on their behalf ) to avoid detection. As a result, despite our efforts to prevent harmful trading activity among the variable investment options available under this variable insurance product, there is no assurance that we will be able to detect or deter market timing or disruptive trading by such owners or intermediaries acting on their behalf. Moreover, our ability to discourage and restrict market timing or disruptive trading may be limited by decisions of state regulatory bodies and court orders that we cannot predict.

Furthermore, we may revise our policies and procedures in our sole discretion at any time and without prior notice, as we deem necessary or

appropriate (1) to better detect and deter harmful trading that may adversely affect other owners, other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products, or underlying fund shareholders generally, (2) to comply with state or federal regulatory requirements, or (3) to impose additional or alternative restrictions on owners engaging in market timing or disruptive trading among the investment options under the variable insurance product. In addition, we may not honor transfer requests if any variable investment option that would be affected by the transfer is unable to purchase or redeem shares of its corresponding underlying fund portfolio.

Underlying Fund Portfolio Frequent Trading Policies. The underlying fund portfolios may have adopted their own policies and procedures with respect to frequent purchases and redemptions of their respective shares. Underlying fund portfolios may, for example, assess a redemption fee (which we reserve the right to collect) on shares held for less than a certain period of time. The prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios describe any such policies and procedures. The frequent trading policies and procedures of an underlying fund portfolio may be different, and more or less restrictive, than the frequent trading policies and procedures of other underlying fund portfolios and the policies and procedures we have adopted for our variable insurance products to discourage market timing and disruptive trading. Owners should be aware that we do not monitor transfer requests from owners or persons acting on behalf of owners against, nor do we apply, the frequent trading policies and procedures of the respective underlying fund portfolios that would be affected by the transfers.

Owners should be aware that we are required to provide to an underlying fund portfolio or its payee, promptly upon request, certain information about the trading activity of individual owners, and to restrict or prohibit further purchases or transfers by specific owners or persons acting on their behalf, identified by an underlying fund portfolio as violating the frequent trading policies established for the underlying fund portfolio.

Table of Contents

Omnibus Orders. Owners and other persons with material rights under the variable insurance products also should be aware that the purchase and redemption orders received by the underlying fund portfolios generally are “omnibus” orders from intermediaries such as retirement plans and separate accounts funding variable insurance products. The omnibus orders reflect the aggregation and netting of multiple orders from individual retirement plan participants and individual owners of variable insurance products. The omnibus nature of these orders may limit the underlying fund portfolios’ ability to apply their respective frequent trading policies and procedures. We cannot guarantee that the underlying fund portfolios will not be harmed by transfer activity relating to the retirement plans or other insurance companies that may invest in the underlying fund portfolios. These other insurance companies are responsible for their own policies and procedures regarding frequent transfer activity. If their policies and procedures fail to successfully discourage harmful transfer activity, it may affect other owners of underlying fund portfolio shares, as well as the owners of all of the variable annuity or life insurance policies, including ours, whose variable investment options correspond to the affected underlying fund portfolios. In addition, if an underlying fund portfolio believes that an omnibus order we submit may reflect one or more transfer requests from owners engaged in market timing or disruptive trading, the underlying fund portfolio may reject the entire omnibus order and thereby delay or prevent us from implementing your request.

 

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 non-standard performance. First, we may calculate performance by determining the percentage change in the value of a 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.

 

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 sales, including commissions to registered representatives and other promotional expenses.

Table of Contents

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 amont and is determined at the time of surrender. (The free amount 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%
1 – 2    7%
2 – 3    6%
3 – 4    6%
4 – 5    5%
5 – 6    4%
6 – 7    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 59 1/2, may be subject to a 10% federal penalty tax. For tax purposes, surrenders from nonqualified contracts are considered to come from taxable earnings first. Under qualified contracts, surrenders may be prorated between taxable and nontaxable amounts.

Life with Emergency Cash® Surrender Charge

If you select the Life with Emergency Cash® 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;

 

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

 

 

22


Table of Contents
 

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.

Transfer Fee

You are generally 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 on the same valuation day will be treated as a single request.

Special Service Fees

We will deduct a charge for special services you request.

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%. 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.

 

 

23


Table of Contents

Federal, State and Local Taxes

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

Initial Payment Guarantee

If you elect the Initial Payment Guarantee at the time of annuitization, there is a daily fee (during the income phase) 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 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% of the account value. The rider fee will be deducted on each rider anniversary and upon termination of the rider 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 lowest and highest fund expenses for the previous calendar year are found in the “Fee Table” section of this prospectus. See the prospectuses for the underlying fund portfolios for more information.

Revenue We Receive

This prospectus describes generally the payments that we (and/or our affiliates) may directly or indirectly receive from the underlying fund portfolios, their advisers, subadvisers, distributors or affiliates thereof, in connection with certain administrative, marketing and other services we (and/or our affiliates) provide and expenses we incur in offering and selling our variable insurance products. These arrangements are sometimes referred to as “revenue sharing” arrangements and are described further below. While only certain types of payments described below may be made in connection with your particular contract, all such payments may nonetheless influence or impact actions we (and/or our affiliates) take, and recommendations we (and our affiliates) make, regarding each of the variable insurance products that we (and our affiliates) offer, including your contract.

We (and/or our affiliates) may receive some or all of the following types of payments:

 

Rule 12b-1 Fees. We and/or our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”) who is the principal underwriter for the contracts, indirectly receive 12b-1 fees from certain funds available as investment choices under our variable insurance products. Any 12b-1 fees received by TCI that are attributable to our variable insurance products are

 

 

24


Table of Contents
 

then credited to us. These fees range from 0.00% to 0.25% of the average daily assets of the certain underlying fund portfolios attributable to the contracts and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue.

 

 

Administrative, Marketing and Support Service Fees (“Support Fees”). As noted above, an investment adviser, sub-adviser, administrator and/or distributor (or affiliates thereof) of the underlying fund portfolios may make payments to us and/or our affiliates, including TCI. These payments may be derived, in whole or in part, from the profits the investment advisor or sub-adviser realized on the advisory fee deducted from underlying fund portfolio assets. Contract owners, through their indirect investment in the underlying fund portfolios, bear the costs of these advisory fees (see the prospectuses for the underlying funds for more information). The amount of the payments we (or our affiliates) receive is generally based on a percentage of the assets of the particular underlying fund portfolios attributable to the policy and to certain other variable insurance products that we and our affiliates issue. These percentages differ and the amounts may be significant. Some advisers or sub-advisers (or other affiliates) pay us more than others.

The following chart provides the maximum combined percentages of 12b-1 fees and Support Fees that we anticipate will be paid to us on an annual basis:

 

 
Incoming Payments to Transamerica and/or TCI

The Dreyfus Socially Responsible Growth Fund, Inc.   0.55%

Dreyfus Investment Portfolios

  0.55%

Transamerica Series Trust(2)

  0.25%
  (1) 

Maximum Fee % of Assets: Payments are based on a percentage of the average assets of each underlying fund portfolio owned by the subaccounts available under this contract and under certain other variable insurance products offered by our affiliates and us. We and/or TCI may continue to receive 12b-1 fees and administrative fees on funds invested in subaccounts that are closed to new investments, depending on the terms of the agreements supporting those payments and on the services provided.

  (2) 

TST: Because TST is managed by Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), an affiliate of ours, there are additional benefits to us and our affiliates for amounts you allocate to the TST underlying fund portfolios, in terms of our and our affiliates’ overall profitability. These additional benefits may be significant. Payments or other benefits may be received from TAM. Such payments or benefits may be entered into for a variety of purposes, such as to allocate resources to us to provide administrative services to the policyholders who invest in subaccounts that invest in the TST underlying fund portfolios. These payments or benefits may take the form of internal credits, recognition, or cash payments. A variety of financial and accounting methods may be used to allocate resources and profits to us. Additionally, if a TST portfolio is sub-advised by an entity that is affiliated with us, we may retain more revenue than on those TST portfolios that are sub-advised by non-affiliated entities. During 2013 we received $147,513,445.97 in benefits from TAM pursuant to these arrangements. This includes the 0.25% amount in the above chart. We anticipate receiving comparable amounts in the future.

Proceeds from certain of these payments by the Funds, the advisers, the sub-advisers and/or their affiliates may be used for any corporate purpose, including payment of expenses (1) that we and our affiliates incur in promoting, marketing, and administering the contract, and (2) that we incur, in our role as intermediary, in promoting, marketing, and administering the underlying fund portfolios. We and our affiliates may profit from these payments.

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

 

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.

 

 

25


Table of Contents

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 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 Cash® payment option.

If your contract was issued pursuant to a 403(b) plan, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders, loans or transfers you request comply with applicable tax requirements and to decline requests that are not in compliance. We will defer such payments you request until all information required under the tax law has been received. By requesting a surrender, loan or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the contract, and transactions under the contract and any other 403(b) contracts or

accounts you have under the 403(b) plan among us, your employer or plan sponsor, any plan administrator or recordkeeper, and other product providers.

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.

Transfers of amounts from the subaccounts also may be deferred under these circumstances.

In addition, if, pursuant to SEC rules, the Money Market Portfolio suspends payment of redemption proceeds in connection with a liquidation of the portfolio, then we may delay payment of any transfer, partial withdrawal, surrender, loan, or death benefit from the Money Market Portfolio until the portfolio is liquidated.

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.

 

 

26


Table of Contents

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

 

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.

Signature Guarantees

As a protection against fraud, we require a signature guarantee (i.e., Medallion Signature Guarantee as required by us) for the following transaction requests:

 

Any surrenders over $250,000;

 

Certain surrenders on or within 15 days of an address change;

 

Any surrender when the Company has been directed to send proceeds to a different personal address from the address of record for that contract owner’s account. PLEASE NOTE: This requirement will not apply to requests made in connection with exchanges of one annuity for another with the same owner in a “tax-free exchange”;

 

Any surrender when the Company does not have an originating or guaranteed signature on file;

 

Any other transaction where we require.

We may change the specific requirements listed above, or add signature guarantees in other circumstances, in our discretion if we deem it necessary or appropriate to help protect against fraud. For current requirements, please refer to the requirements listed on the appropriate form or call us at (800) 525-6205.

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

 

National and state banks

 

Savings banks and savings and loan associations;

 

Securities brokers and dealers; and

 

Credit Unions.

 

 

27


Table of Contents

The best source of a Medallion signature guarantee is a bank, savings and loan association, brokerage firm, or credit union with which you do business.

A notary public cannot provide a Medallion signature guarantee. Notarization will not substitute for a Medallion signature guarantee when required.

 

7. ANNUITY PAYMENTS

(THE INCOME PHASE)

You can generally change the annuity commencement date by giving us 30 days notice with the new date or age. The latest annuity commencement date generally cannot be after the date specified in your policy unless a later date is agreed to by us. 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.)

If you choose to receive fixed payments, then 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 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.

 

 

28


Table of Contents

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 Cash® (fixed or variable)—Payments will be made during the annuitant’s lifetime. With the Life with Emergency Cash® feature, you are able to surrender all or a portion of the Life with Emergency Cash® benefit. The amount you surrender must be at least $2,500. We will provide you with a Life with Emergency Cash® 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). You will be subject to whatever surrender schedule is in effect at the time you annuitize under this annuity payment option. The Life with Emergency Cash® benefit will continue through age 100 of the surviving joint annuitant.

The Life with Emergency Cash® benefit is also a death benefit that is paid upon the death of the annuitant and is generally equal to the surrender value without any surrender charges. For qualified policies, the death benefit ceases on the date the 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 Cash® (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 Cash® feature, you are able to surrender all or a portion of the Life with Emergency Cash® benefit. The amount you surrender must be at least $2,500. We will provide you with a Life with Emergency Cash® 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). You will be subject to whatever surrender schedule is in effect at the time you annuitize under this annuity payment option. The Life with Emergency Cash® benefit will continue through age 100 of the annuitant.

The Life with Emergency Cash® benefit is also a death benefit that is paid upon the death of the surviving joint annuitant and is generally equal to the surrender value without any surrender charges.

For qualified policies the death benefit ceases on the date the surviving joint annuitant reaches the IRS joint age limitation.

Other annuity payments may be arranged by agreement with Transamerica. Some annuity payments may not be available for all contracts, all ages, or in all states; or we may limit certain options to ensure they comply with applicable tax law provisions.

If your contract is a qualified policy, payment options 1 and 2 may not satisfy minimum required distributions rules. Consult a tax advisor before electing either of these options.

 

 

29


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 Cash®; and

 

the annuitant dies before age 101;

THEN:

 

a Life with Emergency Cash® 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.

You must annuitize your policy no later than the maximum annuity commencement date specified in your policy (earlier for certain distribution channels) or a later date if agreed to by us. If you do not elect an annuity payment option, the default option will generally be Option 3 Life with 10 Years Certain

subject to certain exceptions for qualified policies, and all optional benefits (including guaranteed minimum death benefits and living benefits) will terminate.

 

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 (if you pick a variable annuity payment option fees and expenses will apply), or may choose to receive the death benefit via partial withdrawals, or lump sum withdrawal. The guarantees of these death benefits are based on our claims-paying ability.

We will determine the amount of and pay the death benefit proceeds, if any are payable on a contract, upon receipt at our Administrative Office of satisfactory proof of the annuitant’s death, directions regarding how to pay the death benefit, and any other documents, forms and information that we need (collectively referred to as “due proof of death”). For policies with multiple beneficiaries, we will pay the first beneficiary to provide us with due proof of death their share of the death proceeds. We will not pay any remaining beneficiary their share until we receive due proof of death from that beneficiary. Such beneficiaries continue to bear the investment risk until they submit due proof of death. Please note, we may be required to remit the death benefit proceeds to a state prior to receiving “due proof of death.” See OTHER INFORMATION—Abandoned or Unclaimed Property.

Please Note: Such due proof of death must be received in good order to avoid a delay in processing the death benefit claim. Due proof requires selecting a payment option. See OTHER INFORMATION—Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order.

 

 

30


Table of Contents

The death benefit proceeds remain invested in the separate account in accordance with the allocations made by the policy owner until the beneficiary has provided us with due proof of death. Once the Company receives due proof of death, then investment in the separate account may be reallocated in accordance with the beneficiary’s instructions.

The Company may permit the beneficiary to give a “one-time” written instruction to reallocate the investments in the separate account to the money market fund after the death of the annuitant. If there is more than one beneficiary, all beneficiaries must agree to the reallocation instructions. This one-time reallocation will be permitted if the beneficiary provides satisfactory evidence of the annuitant’s death.

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 of the owner, then he or she if eligible, 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.

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 Cash®; and

 

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

THEN:

 

a Life with Emergency Cash® death benefit will be paid.

Succession of Ownership

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

Spousal Continuation

If the sole primary beneficiary is the spouse, upon the owner’s or the annuitant’s death, the beneficiary may elect to continue the contract in his or her own name. Upon the annuitant’s death if such election is made, the contract value will be adjusted upward (but not downward) to an amount equal to the death benefit amount determined upon such election and receipt of due proof of death of the annuitant. Any excess of the

Table of Contents

death benefit amount over the contract value will be allocated to each applicable investment option in the ratio that the contract value in the investment option bears to the total contract value. The terms and conditions of the contract that applied prior to the annuitant’s death will continue to apply, with certain exceptions described in the contract. For purposes of the death benefit on the continued contract, the death benefit is calculated in the same manner as it was prior to continuation except that all values used to calculate the death benefit are reset on the date the spouse continues the contract. See TAX INFORMATION – Same Sex Relationships for more information concerning spousal continuation involving same sex spouses.

For these purposes, if the sole primary beneficiary of the policy is a revocable grantor trust and the spouse of the owner/annuitant is the sole grantor, trustee, and beneficiary of the trust and the trust is using the spouse of the owner/annuitant’s social security number at the time of claim, she or he shall be treated as the owner/annuitant’s spouse. In those circumstances, the owner/annuitant’s spouse will be treated as the beneficiary of the contract for purposes of applying the spousal continuation provisions of the policy.

For these purposes, if the owner is an individual retirement account within the meaning of IRC sections 408 or 408A, if the annuitant’s spouse is the sole primary beneficiary of the annuitant’s interest in such account. In those circumstances, the contract will continue after the annuitant’s death and the annuitant’s spouse will be treated as the beneficiary of the contract for purposes of applying the spousal continuation provisions of the contract.

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 (after the date of death), less gross partial surrenders from the date of death to the date the death benefit is paid.

Please note, the death benefit terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuitization date.

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.

 

 

32


Table of Contents
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.

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 you or 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 equal to:

   

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. If you have a qualified contract, minimum required distribution rules may require you to request a partial surrender.

 

9. TAX INFORMATION

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. The federal income tax consequences discussed herein reflects our understanding of current law, and the law may change. No representation is made regarding the likelihood of continuation of the present federal income tax law or of the current interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service. No attempt is made to consider any applicable state or other income tax laws, any state and local estate or inheritance tax, or other tax consequences of ownership or receipt of distributions under the contract. You should consult your own tax adviser about your own circumstances.

Introduction

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 (the “Code”) for annuities. Simply stated, these rules generally provide that individuals will not be taxed on the earnings, if any, on the money held in an annuity contract until withdrawn. 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 nonqualified contract, the contract will generally not be treated as an annuity for tax purposes. Thus, the owner must generally include in income any increase in the account value over the investment in the contract during each taxable year.

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.

If you purchase the contract as an individual retirement annuity or as part of a 403(b) plan, 457 plan, a pension plan, a profit sharing plan (including a 401(k) plan), or an employer sponsored retirement program, your contract is referred to as a qualified 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. To the extent there is a conflict between a plan’s provisions and a contract’s provisions, the plan’s provisions will control.

If you purchase the contract other than as part of any arrangement described in the preceding paragraph, the contract is referred to as a nonqualified contract.

You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of your contract, whether qualified or non-qualified, until a distribution occurs (either as a surrender, withdrawal, or as annuity payments). Under

certain circumstances, however, you may be subject to current taxation if you assign or pledge or enter into an agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the contract.

The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has not reviewed the contract for qualification as an IRA annuity, 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.

The value of living and death benefit options and riders elected may need to be considered in calculating minimum required distributions from a qualified plan/or contract.

We may occasionally enter into settlements with owners and beneficiaries to resolve issues relating to the contact. Such settlements will be reported on the applicable tax form (e.g., Form 1099) provided to the taxpayer and the taxing authorities.

Taxation of Us

We are at present taxed as a life insurance company under part I of Subchapter L of the Code. The separate account is treated as part of us 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. We may benefit from any dividends received or foreign tax credits attributable to taxes paid by certain underlying funds to foreign jurisdictions to the extent permitted under federal tax law.

Tax Status of the Contract

Diversification Requirements. In order for a non-qualified variable contract which is based on a segregated asset account to qualify as an annuity contract under Section 817(h) of the Code, the investments made by such account must be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations. The Regulations apply a diversification requirement to each of the subaccounts. Each 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 but we do not have control over the underlying fund portfolio companies. The contract owners bear the risk that the entire contract could be disqualified as an annuity contract under the Code due to the failure of a subaccount to be deemed to be “adequately diversified.”

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. In Revenue Ruling 2003-91, the IRS stated that whether the owner of a variable contract is to be treated as the owner of the assets held by the insurance company under the contract will depend on all of the facts and circumstances.

Revenue Ruling 2003-91 also gave an example of circumstances under which the owner of a variable contract would not possess sufficient control over the assets underlying the contract to be treated as the owner of those assets for federal income tax purposes. To the extent the circumstances relating to the issuance and ownership of a contract vary from those described in Revenue Ruling 2003-91, owners bear the risk that they will be treated as the owner of Separate Account assets and taxed accordingly.

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. Concerned owners should consult their own tax advisers regarding the tax matter discussed above.

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 starting 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 starting 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 that 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 starting date, such owner’s surviving spouse is the sole beneficiary, under the nonqualified contract, then the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new owner. If any owner is not a natural person (except in the case of certain grantor trusts), 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

 

 

35


Table of Contents

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

The following discussion assumes the contract qualifies as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes.

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 contract 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 contract 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. A contract owned by a trust using the grantor’s social security number as its taxpayer identification number will be treated as owned by the grantor (natural person) for the purposes of our application of Section 72 of the Code. Consult a tax adviser for more information on how this may impact your contract.

Different Individual Owner and Annuitant

If the owner and annuitant on the contract are different individuals, there may be negative tax consequences to the owner and/or beneficiaries under the contract if the annuitant predeceases the owner

including, but not limited, to the assessment of penalty tax and the loss of certain death benefit distribution options. You may wish to consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering designating a different individual as the annuitant on your contract to determine the potential tax ramifications of such a designation.

Annuity Starting Date

This section makes reference to the annuity starting date as defined in Section 72 of the Code and the applicable regulations. Generally, the definition of annuity starting date will correspond with the definition of annuity commencement date used in your contract and the dates will be the same. However, in certain circumstances, your annuity starting date and annuity commencement date will not be the same date. If there is a conflict between the definitions, we will interpret and apply the definitions in order to ensure your contract maintains its status as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information on when this issue may arise.

It is possible that at certain advanced ages a policy might no longer be treated as an annuity contract if the policy has not been annuitized before that age. You should consult with a tax adviser about the tax consequences in such circumstances.

Taxation of 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 starting date by the total expected return under the contract (determined

 

 

36


Table of Contents
 

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

Taxation of Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals-Nonqualified Contracts

When you surrender your contract, you are generally taxed on the amount that your surrender proceeds exceeds the “investment in the contract,” which is generally your premiums paid (adjusted for any prior surrenders or portions thereof that were not taxable). Partial withdrawals are generally treated first as taxable income to the extent of the excess in the contract over the “investment in the contract.” In general, loans, pledges, and assignments are taxed in the same manner as partial withdrawals and surrenders. All taxable amounts received under a contract are subject to tax at ordinary rather than capital gain tax rates.

If your contract contains an excess interest adjustment feature (also known as a market value adjustment), then your account value immediately before the surrender may have to be increased by any positive excess interest adjustments that result from the surrender. There is, however, no definitive guidance on the proper tax treatment of excess interest adjustments, and you may want to discuss the potential tax consequences of an excess interest adjustment with your tax adviser.

The 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 surrender withdrawals will be exempt from the penalty tax. They include, among others, any amounts: (1) paid on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59 1/2; (2) paid after an owner dies; (3) paid if the taxpayer becomes disabled (as that term is defined in the Code); (4) paid in a series of substantially equal payments made annually (or more frequently) over the life of the taxpayer or the joint life of the taxpayer and the taxpayer’s designated beneficiary; (5) paid under an immediate annuity; or (6) which come from premium payments made prior to August 14, 1982. Regarding the disability exception, because the Company cannot verify that the owner is disabled, the Company will report such withdrawals to the IRS as early withdrawals with no known exception.

Other exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with the exceptions enumerated above. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information regarding the imposition of penalty tax.

Non-Qualified Stretch Annuity

In certain instances a non-spousal beneficiary may be permitted to elect a “stretch” annuity option as a means of disbursing death proceeds from a non-qualified annuity. The only method the Company uses

 

 

37


Table of Contents

for making distribution payments from a non-qualified “stretch” annuity is the required minimum distribution method as set forth in Revenue Ruling 2002-62. The applicable payments are calculated using the Single Life Expectancy Table set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)(9)-9, A-1.

Guaranteed Lifetime Benefits

For contracts with a guaranteed lifetime benefit the application of certain tax rules, particularly those rules relating to distributions from your contract, are not entirely clear. The tax rules for qualified contracts may impact the value of these optional benefits. Additionally, the actions of the qualified plan as contract holder may cause the qualified plan participant to lose the benefit of the guaranteed lifetime benefit. In view of this uncertainty, you should consult a tax adviser before purchasing this contract as a qualified contract.

Aggregation

All nonqualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by us (or our affiliates) to the same owner (contractholder) 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. If you are considering purchasing multiple contracts from us (or our affiliates) during the same calendar year, you may wish to consult with your tax adviser regarding how aggregation will apply to your contracts.

Partial Annuitization

Under a tax provision enacted in 2010, if part of a non-qualified annuity contract’s value is applied to an annuity option that provides payments for one or more lives and for a period of at least ten years, those payments may be taxed as annuity payments instead of withdrawals. None of the payment options under the contract is intended to qualify for this “partial annuitization” treatment and, if you apply only part of the value of the contract to a payment option, we will treat those payments as withdrawals for tax purposes.

Tax-Free Exchanges

Section 1035 of the Code provides that no gain or loss shall be recognized on the exchange of one annuity contract for another annuity contract or a qualified long-term care insurance contract. Generally, an annuity contract issued in an exchange for another annuity contract is treated as new for purposes of the penalty and distribution at death rules.

If the initial contribution is made as a result of an exchange or surrender of another annuity contract, we may require that you provide information relating to the federal income tax status of the previous annuity contract to us.

Revenue Procedure 2011-38 significantly ease the restrictions on partial transfers previously adopted by the IRS. Under Rev. Proc. 2011-38, a partial exchange will be treated as tax-free under Section 1035 of the Code if there are no distributions, from either annuity, within 180 days of the partial 1035 exchange and annuity payments that satisfy the newly enacted partial annuitization rule of Section 72(a)(2) of the Code will not be treated as a distribution from either the old or new contract.

Pursuant to interim guidance provided in IRS Notice 2011-68, the IRS confirmed that it is permissible to partially exchange a portion of the cash surrender value of an annuity for a qualified long term care insurance contract, provided that the requirements of Section 1035 are met. However, further guidance is needed regarding the application of Rev. Proc. 2011-38 to such transfers. Please discuss the tax consequences of any contemplated 1035 exchange transaction with a competent tax adviser.

Medicare Tax

Beginning in 2013, distributions from nonqualified annuity contracts will be considered “investment income” for purposes of the newly enacted Medicare tax on investment income. Thus, in certain circumstances, a 3.8% tax may be applied to some or all of the taxable portion of distributions (e.g. earnings) to individuals, trusts, and estates whose income exceeds certain threshold amounts. The Company is required to report distributions made from nonqualified annuity contracts as being potentially subject to this tax. While distributions from qualified contracts are not subject to the tax, such distributions may be includable in income for purposes of determining whether certain Medicare Tax thresholds have been met. As such, distributions from your qualified contract could cause your other investment income to be subject to the tax. Please consult a tax adviser for more information.

Same Sex Relationships

Section 3 of the Federal Defense of Marriage Act was recently ruled unconstitutional and the Internal Revenue Service adopted a rule in response thereto recognizing the marriage of same sex individuals validly entered into in a jurisdiction that authorizes same sex marriages, even if the individuals are domiciled in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the marriage. The Internal Revenue Service also ruled that the term “spouse” does not include an individual who has entered into a registered domestic partnership, civil union, or other similar relationship that is not denominated as a marriage under the laws of that jurisdiction. The Company intends to administer the policy consistent with these rulings until further guidance is provided. Therefore, exercise of the spousal continuation provisions of this policy or any riders by persons who do not meet the definition of “spouse” under federal law – e.g., domestic and civil union partners—may have adverse tax consequences.

Please note the jurisdiction where you are domiciled may not recognize same sex marriage which may limit your ability to take advantage of certain benefits provided to spouses under the Contract. There are several unanswered questions regarding the scope and impact of this ruling and

the subsequent guidance provided by the Internal Revenue Service. Please consult a tax adviser for more information on this subject.

Taxation of Surrenders and Partial Withdrawals-Qualified Contracts

In the case of a withdrawal under a qualified contract (other than from a deferred compensation plan under Section 457 of the Code), a pro rata portion of the amount you receive is taxable, generally based on the ratio of your “investment in the contract” to your total account balance or accrued benefit under the retirement plan. Your “investment in the contract” generally equals the amount of any non-deductible purchase payments made by you or on your behalf. If you do not have any non-deductible purchase payments, your investment in the contract will be treated as zero.

The IRS has not reviewed this contract for qualification as an IRA, and has not addressed in a ruling of general applicability whether any death benefits available under the contract comport with qualification requirements. The actuarial present value of death benefit and/or living benefit options and riders elected may need to be considered in calculating minimum required distributions. Consult a competent tax adviser before purchasing an optional living or death benefit.

In addition, a penalty tax may be assessed on amounts surrendered from the contract prior to the date you reach age 59 1/2, unless you meet one of the exceptions to this rule which are similar to the penalty exceptions for distributions from nonqualified contracts discussed above. However, the exceptions applicable for qualified contracts differ from those provided to nonqualified contracts. You may wish to consult a tax adviser for more information regarding the application of these exceptions to your circumstances. 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.

Table of Contents

Taxation of Death Benefit Proceeds

Amounts may be distributed from the contract because of your death or the death of the annuitant. Generally, such amounts should be includable in the income of the recipient: (1) if distributed in a lump sum, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as a full surrender; (2) if distributed via partial withdrawals, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as partial surrenders; or (3) if distributed under an annuity payment option, these amounts are taxed in the same manner as annuity payments.

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 starting dates, the exchange of a contract and certain other transactions, or a change of annuitant other than the owner, may result in certain income or gift tax consequences to the owner that are beyond the scope of this discussion. An owner contemplating any such transfer, assignment, selection, exchange or change should contact a competent tax adviser with respect to the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

Separate Account Charges

It is possible that the IRS 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 IRS 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 59 1/2. 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 adviser prior to selecting any optional benefit under the contract.

Withholding

The portion of any distribution under a contract that is includable in gross income will be subject to federal income tax withholding unless the recipient of such distribution elects not to have federal income tax withheld. Election forms will be provided at the time distributions are requested or made. The amount of withholding varies according to the type of distribution. 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 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 does not apply, however, to nontaxable distributions or if (i) the employee (or employee’s spouse or former spouse as beneficiary or alternate payee) chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to a tax-qualified plan, IRA, Roth IRA or 403(b) tax-sheltered annuity or to a governmental 457 plan that agrees to separately account for rollover contributions; or (ii) a non-spouse beneficiary chooses a “direct rollover” from the plan to an IRA established by the direct rollover.

Federal Estate, Gift and Generation-Skipping Transfer Taxes

Beginning in 2013, the federal estate tax, gift tax and generation skipping transfer (“GST”) tax exemptions and maximum rates are $5,000,000 indexed for inflation (currently $5,340,000) and 40%, respectively.

There is no guarantee that the transfer tax exemptions and maximum rates will remain the same in the future. The uncertainty as to how the current law might be modified in coming years underscores the importance of seeking guidance from a competent legal adviser to help ensure that your estate plan adequately addresses your needs and that of your beneficiaries under all possible scenarios.

Table of Contents

Federal Estate Taxes. While no attempt is being made to discuss the Federal estate tax implications of the contract in detail, a purchaser should keep in mind that the value of an annuity contract owned by a decedent and payable to a beneficiary by virtue of surviving the decedent is included in the decedent’s gross estate. Depending on the terms of the annuity contract, the value of the annuity included in the gross estate may be the value of the lump sum payment payable to the designated beneficiary or the actuarial value of the payments to be received by the beneficiary. Consult an estate planning adviser for more information.

Generation-Skipping Transfer Tax. Under certain circumstances, the Code may impose a “generation skipping transfer tax” when all or part of an annuity contract is transferred to, or a death benefit is paid to, an individual two or more generations younger than the Owner. Regulations issued under the Code may require us to deduct the tax from your contract, or from any applicable payment, and pay it directly to the IRS.

Annuity Purchases by Residents of Puerto Rico

The IRS has announced that income received by residents of Puerto Rico under life insurance or annuity contracts issued by a Puerto Rico branch of a United States life insurance company is U.S.-source income that is generally subject to United States federal income tax.

Annuity Contracts Purchased by Non-resident 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.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”)

Beginning in July of 2014, we may be required to withhold at a rate of 30% under FATCA on certain distributions to foreign financial institutions and non-financial foreign entities holding accounts on behalf of and/or the assets of U.S. persons unless the foreign entities provide us with certain certifications regarding their status under FATCA on the applicable IRS forms. Prospective foreign entities are advised to consult with a competent tax adviser regarding the application of FATCA to their particular situation.

Qualified Contracts

The qualified contract is designed for use with several types of tax-qualified retirement plans which are briefly described below. 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 59 1/2 (subject to certain exceptions), distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules, and in other specified circumstances. The distribution rules under Section 72(s) of the Code do not apply to annuities provided under a plan described in Sections 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), 408 or 408A of the Code or to an annuity that is a qualified funding asset as defined in the Code Section 130(d) of the Code. 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.

Traditional Individual Retirement Annuities. In order to qualify as a traditional individual retirement annuity under Section 408(b) of the Code, a contract must satisfy certain conditions: (i) the owner must be the annuitant; (ii) the contract generally is not transferable by the owner, e.g., the owner may not designate a new owner, designate a contingent owner or assign the contract as collateral security; (iii) subject to special rules, the total premium payments for any calendar year may not exceed the amount specified in the Code for the year, 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 according to the requirements in the IRS regulations must begin no later than April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the annuitant attains age 70 1/2; (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 contract value; (vii) the entire interest of the owner is non-forfeitable; and (viii) the premiums must not be fixed. 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 1/2 (unless certain exceptions apply) are subject to a 10% penalty tax.

SIMPLE and SEP IRAs are types of IRAs that allow employers to contribute to IRAs on behalf of their employees. SIMPLE IRAs permit certain small employers to establish SIMPLE plans as provided by section 408(p) of the Code, under which employees may elect to defer to a SIMPLE IRA a specified percentage of compensation. The sponsoring employer is required to make matching or non-elective contributions on behalf of employees. Distributions from SIMPLE IRAs are subject to the same restrictions that apply to IRA distributions and are taxed as ordinary income. Subject to certain exceptions,

premature distributions prior to age 59 1/2 are subject to a 10 percent penalty tax, which is increased to 25 percent if the distribution occurs within the first two years after the commencement of the employee’s participation in the plan. SEP IRAs permit employers to make contributions to IRAs on behalf of their employees, up to a specified dollar amount for the year and subject to certain eligibility requirements as provided by Section 408(k) of the Code. Distributions from SEP IRAs are subject to the same restrictions that apply to IRA distributions and are taxed as ordinary income.

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, a traditional IRA or other allowed qualified plan. A rollover from or conversion of an IRA to a Roth IRA may be subject to tax. The ability to make cash contributions to Roth IRAs is available to individuals with earned income and whose modified adjusted gross income is under a specified dollar amount for the year. 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 for the year. 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 one of the following: attaining age 59 1/2, 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. Please note that specific tax ordering rules apply to Roth IRA distributions. 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 generally excludable from the gross income of the employee, subject to certain limitations. However, such payments may be subject to FICA (Social Security) taxes. The contract includes a death benefit that in some cases may exceed the greater of the premium payments or the contract value. 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 1/2, severance from employment, disability, or financial hardship, except that income attributable to elective contributions may not be distributed in the case of hardship. These rules may prevent the payment of guaranteed withdrawals under a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit prior to age 59 1/2. For contracts issued after 2008, amounts attributable to non-elective contributions may be subject to distribution restrictions specified in the employer’s section 403(b) plan.

Employers using the contract in connection with Section 403(b) plans may wish to consult with their tax adviser.

Pursuant to new tax regulations, we generally are required to confirm, with your 403(b) plan sponsor or otherwise, that surrenders, loans or transfers you request from a 403(b) contract comply with applicable tax requirements before we process your request. We will defer such payments you request until all information required under the tax law has been received. By requesting a surrender or transfer, you consent to the sharing of confidential information about you, the contract, and transactions under the contract and any other 403(b) contracts or accounts you have under the 403(b) plan among us, your employer or plan sponsor, any plan administrator or record keeper, and other product providers.

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. Contributions to and distributions from such plans are limited by the Code and may be subject to penalties.

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. 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. Contributions to and distributions from such plans are limited by the Code and may be subject to penalties.

Ineligible Owners-Qualified

We currently will not issue new contracts to/or for the following plans: 403(a), 403(b), 412(i)/412(e)(3), 419, 457 (we will in certain limited circumstances accept 457(f) plans), employee stock ownership plans, Keogh/H.R.-10 plans and any other types of plans at our sole discretion.

Qualified Plan Distributions

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 1/2 or (ii) retires, and must be made in a specified form or manner. If a participant is a “5 percent owner” (as defined in the Code), or in the case of an IRA (other than a Roth IRA which is not subject to the lifetime required minimum distribution rules), distributions generally must begin no later than April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the owner (or plan participant) reaches age 70 1/2. Each owner is responsible for requesting distributions under the contract that satisfy applicable tax rules. 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.

The Code generally requires that interest in a qualified contract be non-forfeitable. If your contract contains a bonus rider with a recapture, forfeiture, or “vesting” feature, it may not be consistent with those requirements. Consult a tax adviser before purchasing a bonus rider as part of a qualified contract.

You should consult your legal counsel or tax adviser if you are considering purchasing an enhanced death benefit or other optional rider, or if you are considering purchasing a contract for use with any qualified retirement plan or arrangement.

Possible Tax Law Changes

Although the likelihood of legislative or regulatory changes is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax treatment of the contract could change by

legislation, regulation, or otherwise. You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legal or regulatory developments and their effect on the contract.

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

 

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.

Each payment must be at least $50. Monthly and quarterly payments may be required to be taken 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. See Appendix F.

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.

If you do not elect the Initial Payment Guarantee, then the amounts of the stabilized payments you receive will not be guaranteed.

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

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

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. We can change the fee, and 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 hae 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, in all states, or at all times.

Additional Death Benefit Rider

The optional Additional Death Benefit (“ADB”) 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 ADB Rider is only available for issue ages through age 80. This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) and/or other “stretch” annuities whose required distributions are calculated using the Single Life Expectancy Table set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)(9)-9, A-1.

ADB Rider Amount. The ADB 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.

 

 

45


Table of Contents

The ADB Rider is equal to:

 

the ADB 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 ADB 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 ADB Rider after you purchased the contract, rider earnings do not include any gains before the 1035 exchange or the date the ADB Rider was added to your contract.

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

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 ADB Rider will be considered.

Please see Appendix D for an example which illustrates the ADB Rider payable as well as the effect of a partial surrender on the ADB Rider.

Spousal Continuation. If a spouse is eligible to and elects to continue the contract as the new owner instead of receiving a death benefit and the ADB Rider Amount, the spouse will generally receive a one-time account value increase equal to the ADB 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 if

the ADB Rider is still being offered. Certain owners may have the option to continue the rider without receiving the one-time account value increase.

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. The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment choice. The fee is deducted even during periods when the ADB 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 ADB Rider is paid or added to the account value under a spousal continuation.

Once terminated, the ADB Rider may be re-elected if still being offered, however, a new rider will be issued and the ADB 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 IRAs. Consult a tax adviser before electing this rider.

Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuitization date.

The ADB Rider may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly: For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

Additional Death Benefit Rider II

The optional Additional Death Benefit Rider II (“ADB-II”) 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 ADB-II rider is available only for issue ages through age 75. This rider may not be issued or added to Inherited IRAs (sometimes also referred to as beneficiary IRAs) and/or other “stretch” annuities whose required distributions are calculated using the Single Life Expectancy Table set forth in Treasury Regulation § 1.401(a)(9)-9, A-1.

ADB-II Amount. The ADB-II rider 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 currently equals 30% for issue ages 0 – 70 and 20% for issue ages 71 – 75.

No benefit is payable under the ADB- 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 Appendix E 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 is eligible and elects to continue the contract as the new owner instead of receiving the death benefit and additional benefit, the spouse will generally 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 if the ADB-II is still being offered. Certain owners may have the option to continue the rider without receiving the one-time account value increase.

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. The rider fee is deducted pro rata from each investment choice. 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 ADB-II may not be re-elected if still being offered for one year.

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

Please note: This feature terminates upon annuitization and there is a mandatory annuitization date.

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:

 

Number of Years

Since Purchase

Payment Date

  

Surrender Charge

(as a percentage of

purchase payment

surrendered)

0 – 1    7%
1 – 2    7%
2 – 3    6%
3 – 4    6%
more than 4    0%

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

Performance Data. The Historical Performance Data in the SAI 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, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly: For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

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.

 

 

48


Table of Contents

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:

 

Number of Years

Since Purchase

Payment Date

  

Surrender Charge

(as a percentage of

purchase payment

5 – 6    4%
6 – 7    3%
7 – 8    2%
8 – 9    1%
more than 9    0%

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, in all states, at all times or through all financial intermediaries. We may discontinue offering this benefit at any time. In some cases, a benefit not available through a financial intermediary may be obtained by contacting us directly: For more information on the options available for electing a benefit, please contact your financial intermediary or our Administrative Office.

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 after the policy issue date; or

 

diagnosed with a terminal condition after the policy issue date (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.

There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit.

The Nursing Care and Terminal Condition Withdrawal Option may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts, in all states, or at all times.

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.

 

 

49


Table of Contents

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.

There is no restriction on the maximum amount you may surrender under this benefit.

The Unemployment Waiver may vary for certain contracts and may not be available for all contracts, in all states or at all times.

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 losses resulting from 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 and frequent or disruptive traders. 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 into one or more variable subaccounts in accordance with your allocation instructions. This is known as Dollar Cost Averaging. While Dollar Cost Averaging buys more accumulation units when prices are low and fewer accumulation units when prices are high, it does not guarantee profits or assure that you will not experience a loss. There are two Dollar Cost Averaging programs available under your contract:

 

Traditional—You may specify the dollar amount to be transferred or the number of transfers. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. A minimum of $500 per transfer is required. The minimum number of transfers is 6 monthly or 4 quarterly, and the maximum is 24 monthly or 8 quarterly. You can elect to transfer from the fixed account, money market or other specified subaccount.

 

Special—You may only elect either a six or twelve month program. Transfers will begin as soon as the program is started. You cannot transfer from another investment choice into a Special Dollar Cost Averaging program. This program is only available for new purchase payments, requires transfers from a fixed source, and may credit a higher or lower interest rate than a traditional program. A minimum of $500 per transfer is required ($3,000 or $6,000 to start a 6-month or 12-month program, respectively).

A Dollar Cost Averaging program will begin once we have received in good order all necessary information and the minimum required amount. See OTHER

Table of Contents

INFORMATION—Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order. Please note, Dollar Cost Averaging programs will not begin on the 29th, 30th, or 31st. If a program would have started on one of those dates, it will start on the 1st business day of the following month. If we receive additional purchase payments while a Dollar Cost Averaging program is running, absent new instructions to the contrary, the amount of the Dollar Cost Averaging transfers will increase, but the length of the Dollar Cost Averaging program will not.

NOTE CAREFULLY:

New Dollar Cost Averaging instructions are required to start a new Dollar Cost Averaging program once the previous Dollar Cost Averaging program has completed. Additional purchase payments, absent new allocation instructions, received after a Dollar Cost Averaging program has completed, will be allocated according to the current purchase payment allocations at that time but will not reactivate a completed Dollar Cost Averaging program.

If:

 

We do not receive all necessary information to begin or restart a Dollar Cost Averaging program.

Then:

 

Any amount allocated to a fixed source will be invested in that fixed source but will be transferred to the money market investment option within 30 days of allocation to fixed source if new Dollar Cost Averaging Instructions are not received;

 

Any amount allocated to a variable source will be invested in that variable source and will remain in that variable investment option; and

 

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

You should consider your ability to continue a Dollar Cost Averaging program during all economic conditions. Transfers from a Dollar Cost Averaging fixed source are not subject to an excess interest adjustment. A Dollar Cost Averaging program can be

used in conjunction with Asset Rebalancing and a guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (subject to any investment restrictions involving the source). 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, in all states or at all times. 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. 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.

There is no charge for this benefit.

 

11. OTHER INFORMATION

Ownership

You, as owner of the contract, exercise all rights under the contract. You can generally change the owner at any time by notifying us in writing at our Administrative Office. There may be limitations on your ability to change the ownership of a qualified policy. An ownership change may be a taxable event.

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

Table of Contents

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. If state law requires, we will refund your original purchase payment(s). We will pay the refund within 7 days after we receive written notice of cancellation and the returned contract (at our Administrative Office) within the applicable time period. The contract will then be deemed void.

Sending Forms and Transaction Requests in Good Order

We cannot process your requests for transactions relating to the Contract until they are received in good order. “Good order” means the actual receipt of the instructions relating to the requested transaction in writing (or, when appropriate, by telephone or electronically), along with all forms, information and supporting legal documentation necessary to effect the transaction. This information and documentation generally includes to the extent applicable to the transaction: your completed application; the Contract number; the transaction amount (in dollars or percentage terms); the names and allocations to and/or from the Subaccounts affected by the requested transaction; the signatures of all Contract Owners (exactly as registered on the Contract), if necessary; Social Security Number or Tax I.D.; and any other information or supporting documentation that we may require, including any spousal or Joint Owner’s consents. With respect to purchase requests, “good order” also generally includes receipt of sufficient funds to affect the purchase. We may, in our sole discretion, determine whether any particular transaction request is in good order, and we reserve the right to change or waive any good order requirement at any time.

“Received” or receipt in good order generally means that everything necessary must be received by us, at our Administrative Office specified in the Glossary of

Terms.We reserve the right to reject electronic transactions that do not meet our requirements.

Assignment

You can also generally 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.

We reserve the right, except to the extent prohibited by applicable laws, regulations, or actions of the State insurance commissioner, to require that an assignment will be effective only upon acceptance by us, and to refuse assignments or transfers at any time on a non-discriminatory basis.

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

Transamerica 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 indirect subsidiary of Transamerica Corporation, which conducts substantially all of its operations through subsidiary companies engaged in the insurance business or in providing non-insurance financial services. All of the stock of Transamerica Corporation is indirectly owned by Aegon N.V. of The Netherlands, the securities of which are publicly traded. Aegon N.V., a holding company, conducts its business through subsidiary companies engaged primarily in the insurance business.

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

Accordingly no financial institution, brokerage firm or insurance agency is responsible for the financial obligations of the Company arising under the contracts.

Financial Condition of the Company

Many financial services companies, including insurance companies, have been facing challenges in this unprecedented economic and market environment, and we are not immune to those challenges. It is important for you to understand the impact these events may have, not only on your Policy Value, but also on our ability to meet the guarantees under your Policy.

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

Assets in the General Account. You also may be permitted to make allocations to Guaranteed Period Options of the fixed account, which are supported by the assets in our general account. Any guarantees under a policy that exceed policy value, such as those associated with any lifetime withdrawal benefit riders and any optional death benefits, are paid from our general account (and not the Separate Account). Therefore, any amounts that we may be obligated to pay under the Policy in excess of Policy Value are subject to our financial strength and claims-paying ability and our long-term ability to make such payments. The assets of the Separate Account, however, are also available to cover the liabilities of our general account, but only to the extent that the Separate Account assets exceed the Separate Account liabilities arising under the Policies supported by it.

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

 

Our Financial Condition. As an insurance company, we are required by state insurance regulation to hold a specified amount of reserves in order to meet all the contractual obligations of our general account. In order to meet our claims-paying obligations, we monitor our reserves so that we hold sufficient amounts to cover actual or expected policy and claims payments. However, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that we will always be able to meet our claims-paying obligations, and that there are risks to purchasing any insurance product.

State insurance regulators also require insurance companies to maintain a minimum amount of capital, which acts as a cushion in the event that the insurer suffers a financial impairment, based on the inherent risks in the insurer’s operations. These risks include those associated with losses that we may incur as the result of defaults on the payment of interest or principal on our general account assets, which include bonds, mortgages, general real estate investments, and stocks, as well as the loss in market value of these investments.

How to Obtain More Information. We encourage both existing and prospective Policy Owners to read and understand our financial statements. We prepare our financial statements on a statutory basis. Our financial statements, which are presented in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Iowa Department of Commerce, Insurance Division – as well as the financial statements of the separate account – are located in the Statement of Additional Information (SAI). For a copy of the SAI, simply call or write us at the phone number or address of our Administrative Office referenced in this prospectus. In addition, the SAI is available on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Our financial strength ratings can be found on our website.

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

 

 

53


Table of Contents

receives and invests the purchase payments that are allocated to it for investment in shares of the underlying fund 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 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 fund portfolios. The underlying fund portfolios are not limited to selling their shares to this variable account and can accept investments from any insurance company variable account or qualified retirement plan. Since the underlying fund 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 fund portfolios. See the underlying fund 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 under this annuity 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 and in certain limited circumstances we will allow you to do so 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

To the extent required by law, Transamerica will vote all shares of the underlying fund portfolios held in the variable account in accordance with instructions we receive from you and other owners that have voting

 

 

54


Table of Contents

interests in the funds/portfolios. We will send you and other owner 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. Accordingly, it is possible for a small number of policy owners (assuming there is a quorum) to determine the outcome of a vote, especially if they have large policy values. 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.

Distribution of the Contracts

We have entered into a distribution agreement with TCI for the distribution and sales of the contracts. Under the agreement, the contracts were offered to the public through broker-dealers (“selling firms”) that are licensed under the federal securities laws and state insurance laws, and that sold the contracts through written agreements with TCI. We pay commissions to TCI which are passed through to selling firms. We also pay TCI an “override” that is a percentage of total commissions paid on sales of our contracts which is not passed through to the selling firms and paid commissions to TCI for sales of the contracts by the selling firms. We also may pay compensation to financial institutions for their services in connection with the servicing of the contracts.

We have discontinued new sales of the contracts. You may, however, continue to make purchase payments to fund your contract pursuant to its terms, and exercise all other rights and options under your contract—such as reallocating your account value among investment choices, making partial surrenders, surrender your contract, and making changes of ownership of your contract.

Commissions of up to 7% of purchase payments plus an annual continuing fee based on account values will be paid to the selling firms (additional amounts may be

paid as overrides to wholesalers). These commissions are not deducted from purchase payments.

To the extent permitted by FINRA rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, 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 TCI havepaid 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 TCI may make payments to selling firms based on aggregate sales of our variable insurance 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 the 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.

Table of Contents

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

Abandoned or Unclaimed Property

Every state has unclaimed property laws that generally provide for escheatment to the state of unclaimed property (including proceeds of annuity, life and other insurance policies) under various circumstances. In addition to the state unclaimed property laws, we may be required to escheat property pursuant to regulatory demand, finding, agreement or settlement. To help prevent such escheatment, it is important that you keep your contact and other information on file with us up to date, including the names, contact information and identifying information for owners, insureds, annuitants, beneficiaries and other payees. Such updates should be communicated in a form and manner satisfactory to us.

Legal Proceedings

We, like other life insurance companies, are subject to regulatory and legal proceedings, including class action lawsuits, in the ordinary course of our business. Such legal and regulatory matters include proceedings specific to us and other proceedings generally applicable to business practices in the industry in which we operate. In some lawsuits and regulatory proceedings involving insurers, substantial damages have been sought and/or material settlement payments have been made. Although the outcome of any litigation or regulatory proceeding cannot be predicted with certainty, at the present time, we believe that there are no pending or threatened proceedings or lawsuits that are likely to have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI’s ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the policy.

We are currently being audited on behalf of multiple states’ treasury and controllers’ offices for compliance with laws and regulations concerning the identification,

reporting and escheatment of unclaimed benefits or abandoned funds. The audits focus on insurance company processes and procedures for identifying unreported death claims, and their use of the Social Security Master Death File to identify deceased policy and contract holders. In addition, we are the subject of multiple state Insurance Department inquiries and market conduct examinations with a similar focus on the handling of unreported claims and abandoned property. The audits and related examination activity have resulted in or may result in additional payments to beneficiaries, escheatment of funds deemed abandoned, administrative penalties and changes in our procedures for the identification of unreported claims and handling of escheatable property. We do not believe that any regulatory actions or agreements that have resulted from or will result from these examinations has had or will have a material adverse impact on the separate account, on TCI’s ability to perform under its principal underwriting agreement, or on our ability to meet our obligations under the policy.

APPENDIX F

GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT – NO LONGER AVAILABLE

The optional Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit assures you of a minimum level of income in the future by guaranteeing a minimum annuitization value (discussed below) after seven years. You may elect to purchase this benefit, which provides a minimum amount you will have to apply to a Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit payment option and which guarantees a minimum amount for those payments once you begin to receive them. By electing this benefit, you can participate in the gains of the underlying variable investment options you select while knowing that you are guaranteed a minimum level of income in the future, regardless of the performance of the underlying variable investment options. The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit rider will not be issued if you are 80 years old or older (earlier if required by state law).

You can annuitize under the rider (subject to the conditions described below) at the greater of the adjusted account value or the minimum annuitization value.

Minimum Annuitization Value. The minimum annuitization value on the rider date (the date the rider is added to your contract) is equal to the account value. After that, the minimum annuitization value is equal to the greater of the following:

 

  1)

the largest account value on the rider date or on any rider anniversary prior to the annuitant’s 81st birthday, plus any subsequent purchase payments (less the sum of all subsequent withdrawals adjusted as below and any premium taxes after the date of the largest account value); or

 

  2) the minimum annuitization value on the rider date plus the sum of all purchase payments received after the rider date, less withdrawals (adjusted as below) and premium taxes, plus interest thereon equal to the annual effective interest rate specified on page one of the rider up to:
  a)

the rider anniversary prior to the annuitant’s 81st birthday;

  b) the date the sum of all purchase payments, (less the sum of all adjusted withdrawals and premium taxes), together with credited interest, has grown to two times the amount of all purchase payments (less all adjusted withdrawals and premium taxes) as a result of such interest accumulation, if earlier.

You can annuitize under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (subject to the conditions described in this section) at the greater of the annuity purchase amount or the minimum annuitization value.

The annual effective interest rate is current 6% per year; we may, at our discretion, change the rate in the future, but the rate will never be less than 3% per year, and once the rider is added to your contract, the annual rate will not vary during the life of that rider. Withdrawals may reduce the minimum annuitization value on a basis greater than dollar-for-dollar.

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit does not establish or guarantee account value or guarantee performance of any investment option.

The minimum annuitization value may only be used to annuitize using the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit payment options provided by the Guarantee Minimum Income Benefit and may not be used with any of the annuity payment options listed in Section 7 of this prospectus.

 

68


Table of Contents

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit payment options are:

 

Life Income—An election may be made for “No Period Certain” or “10 Years Certain”. In the event of the death of the annuitant prior to the end of the chosen period certain, the remaining period certain payments will be continued to the beneficiary.

 

Joint and Full Survivor—An election may be made for “No Period Certain” or “10 Years Certain”. Payments will be made as long as either the annuitant or joint annuitant is living. In the event of the death of both the annuitant and joint annuitant prior to the end of the chosen period certain, the remaining period certain payments will be continued to the beneficiary.

NOTE CAREFULLY:

IF:

 

You choose Life Income with No Period Certain or Joint and Full Survivor with No Period Certain; and

 

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

THEN:

 

We will make only one (two, three, etc.) annuity payments.

The minimum annuitization value is used solely to calculate the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit annuity payments and does not establish or guarantee a account value or guarantee performance of any investment option. Because this benefit is based on conservative actuarial factors (such as the use of a 3.0% assumed investment return, to calculate the first annuity payment, which results in a lower dollar amount for that payment than would result from using the 5.0% assumed investment return that is used with the regular annuity payments described in Section 7 above), the level of lifetime income that it guarantees may be less than the level that would be provided by application of the adjusted account value at otherwise applicable annuity factors.

Therefore, the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit should be regarded as a safety net. The costs of annuitizing under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit include the guaranteed payment fee, and also the lower payout levels inherent in the annuity tables used for those minimum payouts (which may include an annuity age factor adjustment). These costs should be balanced against the benefits of a minimum payout level.

Moreover, the Initial Payment Guarantee option described below also provides for a minimum payout level, and it uses actuarial factors (such as a 5.0% assumed investment return) that provide for higher payment levels for a given account value than the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit (which uses a 3.0% assumed investment return to calculate the first annuity payment and a 5.0% rate to calculate all subsequent payments). You should carefully consider these factors, since electing annuity payments under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit will generally be advantageous only when the minimum annuitization value is sufficiently in excess of the adjusted account value to overcome these disadvantages.

In addition to the annual growth rate, other benefits and fees under the rider (the rider fee, the fee waiver threshold, the guaranteed payment fee, and the waiting period before the rider can be exercised) are also guaranteed not to change after the rider is added. However, all of these benefit specifications may change if you elect to upgrade the minimum annuitization value.

Minimum Annuitization Value Upgrade. You can upgrade your minimum annuitization value to the account value on a contract anniversary. This may be done within thirty days after any contract anniversary before your 88th birthday (earlier if required by state law). For your convenience, we will put the last date to upgrade on page one of the rider.

Table of Contents

If you upgrade:

 

the current rider will terminate and a new one will be issued with its own specified guaranteed benefits and fees (the new rider will be what is currently offered for new sales);

 

the new fees, thresholds and factors may be higher (or lower) than before;

 

the new annual growth rate may be lower (or higher) than before; and

 

you will have a new seven year waiting period before you can annuitize under the rider.

It generally will not be to your advantage to upgrade unless your adjusted account value exceeds your minimum annuitization value at the time you elect to upgrade.

Conditions of Exercise of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit. You can only annuitize using the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit within the 30 days after the seventh or later contract anniversary after the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit is elected or, in the case of an upgrade of the minimum annuitization value, the seventh or later contract anniversary following the upgrade. Transamerica may, at its discretion, change the waiting period before the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit can be exercised in the future. You cannot, however, annuitize using the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit after the rider anniversary after your 94th birthday (earlier if required by state law). For your convenience, we will put the first and last date to annuitize using the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit on page one of the rider.

NOTE CAREFULLY: If you annuitize at any time other than indicated above, you cannot use the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit.

Guaranteed Minimum Payment Option. If you elect the guaranteed minimum payment option at the time of annuitization, annuity payments under the rider are guaranteed to never be less than the initial payment. See the SAI for information concerning the calculation of the initial payment. The payments will also be “stabilized” or held constant during each contract year.

During the first contract year after annuitizing using the rider, each stabilized payment will equal the initial payment. On each contract anniversary thereafter, the stabilized payment will increase or decrease depending on the performance of the investment options you selected (but will never be less than the initial payment), and then be held constant at that amount for that contract year. The stabilized payment on each contract anniversary will equal the greater of the initial payment or the payment supportable by the annuity units in the selected investment options. See the SAI for additional information concerning stabilized payments.

If you elect not to receive guaranteed minimum payments, your payments:

 

are not guaranteed and may be less than the initial payment;

 

will vary according to the investment performance of the investment options you select; and

 

will not be stabilized.

Rider Fee. A rider fee, currently 0.45% of the minimum annuitization value on the contract anniversary, is charged annually prior to annuitization. We will also charge this fee if you take a complete surrender. The rider fee is deducted from each variable subaccount and the fixed account in proportion to the amount of account value in each variable subaccount and the fixed account. This fee is deducted even if the adjusted account value exceeds the minimum annuitization value.

Table of Contents

Guaranteed Minimum Payment Fee. If you elect the guaranteed minimum payment option at the time of annuitization, a guaranteed minimum payment fee, currently equal to an effective annual rate of 1.25% of the daily net asset value in the variable account, is reflected in the amount of the variable payments you receive if you annuitize under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit, in addition to the base product mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge. The guaranteed minimum payment fee is included on page one of the rider. This option is irrevocable (you cannot stop paying the fee once annuity payments begin).

Termination. The rider is irrevocable. You have the option not to use the benefit but you will not receive a refund of any fees you have paid. The rider will terminate upon the earliest of the following:

 

annuitization (you will still get guaranteed minimum stabilized payments if you annuitize using the minimum annuitization value under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit);

 

upgrade of the minimum annuitization value (although a new rider will be issued);

 

termination of your contract; or

 

30 days after the rider anniversary after your 94th birthday (earlier if required by state law).

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit described in this prospectus uses a 3.0% assumed investment return to calculate the first payment. Therefore, for a given dollar amount of account value applied to an annuity payment, the initial payment will be lower with the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit than with the Initial Payment Guarantee.

The Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit may vary by state and may not be available in all states.

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.

Entire Contract

The contract, any endorsements or riders 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 Gender

If the age or gender 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 gender. 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.

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

Example 1 (Full Surrender, rates increase by 3%):

 

Single purchase payment:    $50,000.00
Guarantee period:    5 Years
Guarantee rate:    5.50% per annum
Surrender:    Middle of annuity year 2
Account value at middle of annuity year 2    = 50,000.00 * (1.055) ^ 1.5 = 54,181.21
Cumulative Earnings    = 54,181.21 – 50,000.00 = 4,181.21
10% of Purchase Payments    = 50,000.00 * .10 = 5,000.00

Excess interest adjustment free amount    = 4,181.21
Amount subject to excess interest adjustment    = 54,181.21 – 4,181.21 = 50,000.00

     = -5,250.00, but excess interest adjustment cannot cause the adjusted account value to fall below the excess interest adjustment floor, so the adjustment is limited to 51,507.48 - 54,181.21 = -2,673.73
Adjusted account value   

= account value + excess interest adjustment

= 54,181.21 + (-2,673.73) = 51,507.48

= 4,181.21

Portion of surrender charge-free amount which is deducted from purchase payments

= 818.79

Surrender charges    = (50,000.00 – 818.79) * .07 = 3,442.68
Net surrender value at middle of contract year 2    = 51,507.48 – 3,442.68 = 48,064.80
Net surrender value minimum    = 90% x 50,000 x 1.03 ^ (l.5) = 47,040.11
The net surrender value of $48,064.80 is greater than the minimum of $47,040.11

Net surrender value at middle of contract year 2    = 55,931.21 – 3,442.68 = 52,488.53
Net surrender value minimum    = 90% x 50,000 x 1.03 ^ (l.5) = 47,040.11
The net surrender value of 52,448.53 is greater than the minimum of 47,040.11

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.

EPW = 20,000.00 – 5,000.00 = 15,000.00     

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

    
SC = .07 * (16,129.03 – (-553.66)) = 1,167.79     
Remaining account value at middle of contract year 2    = 54,181.21 - (R - E + surrender charge)
     = 54,181.21 - (20,000.00 - (-553.66) + 1,167.79) = 32,459.76

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 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 notice of any election or change of election must be received by Transamerica in good order at least thirty (30) days prior to the annuity date (elections less than 30 days require prior approval). If no election is made prior to the annuity date, annuity payments will be made using (i) life income with level fixed 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) 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.

Table of Contents

Determination of the First Variable Payment. The amount of the first variable payment depends upon the gender (if consideration of gender 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.

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. If you make a partial surrender (withdrawal), then your guaranteed minimum death benefit is reduced 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.

 

11


Table of Contents

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

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

Table of Contents

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 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.

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 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.

 

13


Table of Contents

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.

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. 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 period certain variable payments is calculated by taking (a) the supportable payment on the business day we receive the surrender request, multiplied by (b) the number of payments remaining, multiplied by a discounted rate (such as the assumed investment rate or “AIR”.

Stabilized Payments

If you have selected a payout feature that provides for stabilized payments (e.g., the Initial Payment Guarantee), please note that the stabilized payments remain level throughout each year and are adjusted on your annuitization anniversary.

 

14


Table of Contents

Without stabilized payments, each payment throughout the year would fluctuate based on the performance of your selected subaccounts. To reflect the difference in these payments we adjust (both increase and decrease as appropriate) the number of variable annuity units. The annuity 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 annuitization 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 of the subaccounts 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 of the subaccounts will be decreased because 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.

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

 

15


Table of Contents

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 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.

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, if applicable. 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

A =

   The variable accumulation unit value for the immediately preceding valuation period.

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. 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;

 

17


Table of Contents
(b) is the net investment factor for that subaccount for the valuation period; and
(c) is the assumed investment return adjustment factor for the valuation period.

The assumed investment return 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 generally vary according to the annuity option elected and the gender 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

 

19


Table of Contents

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.

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.

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.

 

20


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 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

Table of Contents

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

TCI as the principal underwriter of the contracts and may enter into agreements with broker-dealers for the distribution of the contracts. During fiscal year 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, $304,309, $370,286 and $333,155 were paid to TCI, as underwriter of the contracts; no amounts were retained by TCI.

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 choices 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 Transamerica’s fidelity bond, presently in the amount of $5,000,000, covering the acts of officers and employees of Transamerica.

APPENDIX B

GUARANTEED MINIMUM INCOME BENEFIT — ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

The amounts shown below are hypothetical guaranteed minimum monthly payment amounts under the “Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit” for a $100,000 purchase payment when annuity payments do not begin until the contract anniversary indicated in the left-hand column. These figures assume the following:

 

  there were no subsequent purchase payments or surrenders;

 

  there were no premium taxes;

 

  the $100,000 premium is subject to the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit;

 

  the annuitant is (or both annuitants are) 60 years old when the rider is issued;

 

  the annual growth rate is 6.0% (once established, an annual growth rate will not change during the life of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit rider up until the minimum annuitization value reaches 200% of the purchase payments (less withdrawals));

 

  there was no upgrade of the minimum annuitization value; and

 

  the account value did not grow higher than an annual growth rate of 6% (no annual step-ups are factored in).

Six different annuity payment options are illustrated: a male annuitant, a female annuitant and a joint and survivor annuity, each on a Life Only and a Life with 10-Year Certain basis. The figures below, which are the amount of the first monthly payment, are based on an assumed investment return of 3%. If the guaranteed minimum payment option is also elected at the time of annuitization, subsequent payments will never be less than the amount of the first payment (although subsequent payments are calculated using a 5% assumed investment return). If the guaranteed minimum payment option is not elected, subsequent payments may fluctuate and may be less than the initial payment.

Life Only = Life Annuity with No Period Certain                     Life 10 = Life Annuity with 10 Years Certain

This hypothetical illustration should not be deemed representative of past or future performance of any underlying variable investment option.

Surrenders will affect the minimum annuitization value as follows: Each contract year, surrenders will reduce the minimum annuitization value on a pro rata basis by an amount equal to the minimum annuitization value immediately prior to the surrender multiplied by the percentage reduction in the account value resulting from the surrender.

Examples of the effect of surrenders on the minimum annuitization value are as follows:

 

EXAMPLE 1
Assumptions

    minimum annuitization value at time of distribution:

   $10,500

    account value at time of distribution:

   $15,000

    distribution amount:

   $1,500
Calculations

    account value after distribution:

   $15,000 - $1,500 = $13,500

(since the account value is reduced 10% ($1,500/$15,000), the minimum annuitization value is also reduced 10%)

    minimum annuitization value after distribution:

   $10,500 - (10% x $10,500) = $9,450

 

EXAMPLE 2
Assumptions

    minimum annuitization value at time of distribution:

   $10,500

    account value at time of distribution:

   $7,500

    distribution amount:

   $1,500
Calculations

    account value after distribution:

   $7,500 - $1,500 = $6,000

(since the account value is reduced 20% ($1,500/$7,500), the minimum annuitization value is also reduced 20%)

    minimum annuitization value after distribution:

   $10,500 - (20% x $10,500) = $8,400

The amount of the first payment provided by the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit will be determined by multiplying each $1,000 of minimum annuitization value by the applicable annuity factor shown on Schedule I of the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit. The applicable annuity factor depends upon the annuitant’s (and joint annuitant’s, if any) sex (or without regard to gender if required by law), age, and the Guaranteed Minimum Income Benefit payment option selected and is based on a guaranteed interest rate of 3% 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). Subsequent payments will be calculated as described in the rider using a 5% assumed investment return. Subsequent payments may fluctuate annually in accordance with the investment performance of the annuity subaccounts if the guaranteed minimum payment option is elected at annuitization. However, subsequent payments are guaranteed to never be less than the initial payment.

If you elect the guaranteed minimum payment option, the stabilized payment on each subsequent contract anniversary after annuitization using the rider will equal the greater of the initial payment or the payment supportable by the variable annuity units in the selected subaccounts. The supportable payment is equal to the number of variable annuity units in the selected subaccounts multiplied by the variable annuity unit values in those subaccounts on the date the payment is made. The variable annuity unit values used to calculate the supportable payment will assume a 5% assumed investment return. If the supportable payment at any payment date during a contract year is greater than the stabilized payment for that contract year, the excess will be used to purchase additional variable annuity units. Conversely, if the supportable payment at any payment date during a contract year is less than the stabilized payment for that contract year, there will be a reduction in the number of variable annuity units credited to the contract to fund the deficiency. In the case of a reduction, you will not participate as fully in the future investment performance of the subaccounts you selected since fewer variable annuity units are credited to your contract. Purchases and reductions will be allocated to each subaccount on a proportionate basis.

Transamerica bears the risk that it will need to make payments if all variable annuity units have been used in an attempt to maintain the stabilized payment at the initial payment level. In such an event, Transamerica will make all future payments equal to the initial payment. Once all the variable annuity units have been used, the amount of your payment will not increase or decrease and will not depend upon the performance of any subaccounts. To compensate Transamerica for this risk, a guaranteed minimum payment fee will be deducted.

Report of Independent Auditors

The Board of Directors

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statutory-basis financial statements of Transamerica Life Insurance Company, which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013, and the related notes to the financial statements. Our audits also included the statutory-basis financial statement schedules required by Regulation S-X, Article 7.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Insurance Division, Department of Commerce, of the State of Iowa. Management also is responsible for the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibility

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 involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

As described in Note 1, to meet the requirements of Iowa the 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The variances between such practices and U.S. generally accepted accounting principles are described in Note 1. The effects on the accompanying financial statements of these variances are not reasonably determinable but are presumed to be material.

Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles


Table of Contents

In our opinion, because of the effects of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above do not present fairly, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the financial position of Transamerica Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2013 and 2012, or the results of its operations or its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.

Opinion on Statutory-Basis of Accounting

However, in our opinion, the statutory-basis financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transamerica Life Insurance Company at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 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.

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share amounts)

December 31, 2013

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Transamerica Life Insurance Company (the Company) is a stock life insurance company owned by Transamerica Corporation (74.01% of preferred shares), Aegon USA, LLC (25.99% of preferred shares) and Transamerica International Holdings, Inc. (100% of common shares).

Nature of Business

The Company sells individual non-participating whole life, endowment and term contracts, structured settlements, pension products and reinsurance, as well as a broad line of single fixed and flexible premium annuity products, guaranteed interest contracts and funding agreements. In addition, the Company offers group life, universal life, credit life, and individual and specialty health coverages. The Company is licensed in 49 states and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands. Sales of the Company’s products are primarily through a network of agents, brokers and financial institutions.

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:

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

Valuation Office of the NAIC (SVO) or determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method.

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

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

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

Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that meet the criteria of an effective hedge are valued and reported in a manner that is consistent with the hedged asset or liability. Embedded derivatives are not accounted for separately from the host contract. Derivative instruments used in hedging transactions that do not meet or no longer meet the criteria of an effective hedge are accounted for at fair value, and the changes in the fair value are recorded in unassigned surplus as unrealized gains and losses. Under GAAP, the effective and ineffective portions of a single hedge are accounted for separately, and the change in fair value for cash

flow hedges is credited or charged directly to a separate component of OCI rather than to income as required for fair value hedges, and an embedded derivative within a contract that is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risk of the host contract is accounted for separately from the host contract and valued and reported at fair value.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Universal Life and Annuity Policies: Revenues for universal life and annuity policies with mortality or morbidity risk (including annuities with purchase rate guarantees) consist of the entire premium received. Benefits incurred represent surrenders and death benefits paid and the change in policy reserves. Premiums received and benefits incurred for annuity policies without mortality or morbidity risk and guaranteed interest in group annuity contracts are recorded directly to a policy reserve account using deposit accounting, without recognizing premium income or benefits expense. Interest on these policies is reflected in other benefits. Under GAAP, for universal life policies, premiums received in excess of policy charges would not be recognized as premium revenue and benefits would represent interest credited to the account values and the excess of benefits paid over the policy account value. Under GAAP, for all annuity policies without significant mortality risk, premiums received and benefits paid would be recorded directly to the reserve liability.

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

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

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

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

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

Deferred Income Taxes: The Company computes deferred income taxes in accordance with Statement of Statutory Accounting Principle (SSAP) No. 101, Income Taxes, A Replacement of SSAP No. 10R and SSAP No. 10. Under SSAP No. 101, admitted adjusted deferred income tax assets are limited to 1) the amount of federal income taxes paid in prior years that can be recovered through loss carrybacks for existing temporary differences that reverse during a timeframe corresponding with the Internal Revenue Service tax loss carryback provisions, not to exceed three years, plus 2) the amount of adjusted gross deferred income tax assets expected to be realized within three years limited to an amount that is no greater than 15% of current period’s adjusted statutory capital and surplus, plus 3) the amount of remaining adjusted gross deferred income tax assets that can be offset against existing gross deferred income tax liabilities after considering the character (i.e., ordinary versus capital) and reversal patterns of the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The remaining adjusted 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 all future years, and a valuation allowance is established for deferred income tax assets not realizable.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Other significant accounting policies are as follows:

Investments

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

Hybrid securities, as defined by the NAIC, are securities designed with characteristics of both debt and equity and provide protection to the issuer’s senior note holders. These securities meet the definition of a bond, in accordance with SSAP No. 26, Bonds, excluding Loan-backed and

Structured Securities and therefore, are reported at amortized cost or fair value based upon their NAIC rating.

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

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

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

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

If the Company determines that a decline in the fair value of a common stock or a preferred stock is other-than-temporary, the Company writes it down to fair value as the new cost basis and the amount of the write down is accounted for as a realized loss in the statement of operations. The Company considers the following factors in determining whether a decline in value is other-than-

temporary: (a) the financial condition and prospects of the issuer; (b) whether or not the Company has made a decision to sell the investment; and (c) the length of time and extent to which the value has been below cost.

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

The Company is restricted to trading Primus Guaranty, Ltd (Primus) a common stock holding, due to its ownership interest, which would require special securities filings prior to executing any purchase or sale transactions in regard to these securities. The Company’s interest in Primus does not meet the definition of an affiliate, and is therefore accounted for as an unaffiliated common stock investment. The carrying amount in Primus, which is carried at fair value, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $45,463 and $49,416, respectively.

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

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

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

Land is reported at cost. Real estate occupied by the Company is reported at depreciated cost net of encumbrances. Real estate held for the production of income is reported at depreciated cost net of related obligations. Real estate that the Company classifies as held for sale is measured at lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the properties. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the Company determines that the carrying amount of the real estate is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The Company deems that the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable if the carrying amount exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.

Policy loans are reported at unpaid principal balances.

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

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

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

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

Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. The Company does not accrue income on bonds in default, mortgage loans on real estate in default and/or foreclosure or which are delinquent more than twelve months, or real estate where rent is in arrears for more than three months. Income is also not accrued when collection is uncertain. In addition, accrued interest is excluded from investment income when payment exceeds 90 days past due. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company excluded investment income due and accrued of $1,393 and $281, respectively, with respect to such practices.

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

Derivative Instruments

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

Instruments and Hedging Activities.

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

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

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

Instruments: Interest rate swaps are the primary derivative financial instruments used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the underlying asset or liability. These interest rate swaps generally provide for the exchange of the

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

Interest rate basis swaps are used in the overall asset/liability management process to modify the interest rate characteristics of the underlying 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 at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Cross currency swaps are utilized to mitigate risks when the Company holds foreign denominated assets or liabilities, therefore converting the asset or liability to a U.S. dollar (USD) denominated security. These cross currency swap agreements involve the exchange of two principal amounts in two different currencies at the prevailing currency rate at contract inception. During the life of the swap, the counterparties exchange fixed or floating rate interest payments in the swapped currencies. At maturity, the principal amounts are again swapped at a predetermined rate of exchange. Each asset or liability is hedged individually where the terms of the swap must meet the terms of the hedged instrument. For swaps qualifying for hedge accounting, the premium or discount is amortized into income over the life of the contract, and the foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as unrealized gain/loss in unassigned surplus. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus. If a swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the hedged instrument receives that treatment.

Total return swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the risk created when the company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These total return swaps generally provide for the exchange of the difference between fixed leg (tied to an equity or interest rate index) and floating leg (tied to LIBOR) amounts based on an underlying

notional amount (also tied to the underlying index). Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of the swap contract and a single net payment is exchanged each due date. Swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If the swap is terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Variance swaps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the gamma risk created when the Company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These variance swaps are similar to volatility options where the underlying index provides for the market value movements. Variance swaps do not accrue interest. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the outset of initiating the variance swap, and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. The variance swaps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

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

Collars are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the residual risk created when the company has issued minimum guarantee insurance contracts linked to an index. These collars are similar to options where the underlying index provides for the market value movements. The collars do not accrue interest. Typically, no cash is exchanged at the onset, and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. Collars that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Collars that do not meet hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

Caps are used in the asset/liability management process to mitigate the interest rate risk created due to a rapidly rising interest rate environment. The caps are similar to options where the underlying interest rate index provides for the market value movements. The caps do not accrue

Table of Contents

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share amounts)

 

interest until the interest rate environment exceeds the caps strike rate. Cash is exchanged at the onset, and a single receipt or payment occurs at the maturity or termination of the contract. Caps that meet hedge accounting rules are carried in a manner consistent with the hedged item, generally at amortized cost, on the financial statements. If terminated prior to maturity, proceeds are exchanged equal to the fair value of the contract. These gains and losses may be included in IMR or AVR if the underlying instrument receives that treatment. Caps that do not meet hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

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 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 forward rate. The accrual of income begins at the forward date, rather than at the inception date. 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 issues fixed liabilities that have a guaranteed minimum crediting rate. The Company uses receiver swaption, whereby the swaption is designed to generate cash flows to offset lower yields on assets during a low interest rate environment. The Company pays a single premium at the beginning of the contract that is amortized throughout the life of the swaption. These swaptions are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

The Company invests in domestic corporate debt securities denominated in U.S. dollars. If the issuers of these debt obligations fail to make timely payments, the value of the investment declines materially. The Company manages credit default risk through the purchase of credit default swaps. As the buyer of credit default protection, the Company will pay a premium to an approved counterparty in exchange for a contingent payment should a defined credit event occur with respect to the underlying reference entity or asset. Typically, the periodic premium or fee is expressed in basis points per notional. Generally, the premium payment for default protection is made periodically, although it may be paid as an up-front fee for short dated transactions. Should a credit event occur, the Company may be required to deliver the reference asset to the counterparty for par. Alternatively, settlement may be in cash. These credit default swaps are carried on the balance sheet at amortized cost. Premium payments made by the Company are recognized as investment expense. If the Company is unable to prove hedge effectiveness, the credit default swaps not meeting hedge accounting rules are carried at fair value with fair value adjustments recorded in unassigned surplus.

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 or sovereign debt by combining a highly rated security as a cash component with a credit default swap which, in effect, converts the high quality asset into an investment grade corporate asset or a sovereign debt. The benefits of using the swap market to replicate credit include possible enhanced relative values as well as ease of executing larger transactions in a shortened time frame. Generally, a premium is received by the Company on a periodic basis and recognized in investment income. In the event the representative issuer defaults on its debt obligation referenced in the contract, a payment equal to the notional amount of the contract will be made by the Company and recognized as a capital loss.

The Company replicates hybrid fixed to floating treasuries by combining a U.S. Treasury cash component with a forward starting swap which, in effect, converts a fixed U.S. Treasury into a hybrid fixed to floating treasury. The purpose of these replications is to aid duration matching between the treasuries and the supported liabilities. Generally these swaps are carried at amortized cost with periodic interest payments beginning at a future date. Any early terminations are recognized as capital gains or losses. The Company complies with the specific rules established in AVR for replication transactions.

The Company holds some warrants linked to an Argentina Government GDP as part of an authorized workout from the Argentina Brady Bonds. The Company was put into these warrants and did not voluntarily transaction into these types of instruments. The Company does not have any downside risk to the warrants, and only receives a payment if the GDP is above a specific threshold. These swaps are marked to fair value in the balance sheet and the fair value adjustment is recorded in capital and surplus.

Separate Accounts

The majority of the separate accounts held by the Company, primarily for individual policyholders as well as for group pension plans, do not have any minimum guarantees, and the investment risks associated with fair value changes are borne by the policyholder. The assets in the accounts, carried at estimated fair value, consist of underlying mutual fund shares, common stocks, long-term bonds and short-term investments.

Certain other separate accounts held by the Company provide a minimum guaranteed return of 3% of the average investment balance to policyholders. The assets consist of long-term bonds and short-term investments which are carried at amortized cost.

Assets held in trust for purchases of variable universal life and 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 fair value. 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 investment risks associated with fair value changes of the separate accounts are borne entirely by the policyholders except in cases where minimum guarantees exist. The Company received variable contract premiums of $12,450,327, $9,341,436 and $9,381,447 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In addition, the Company received $759,484, $603,433 and $494,516 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to fees associated with investment management, administration and contractual guarantees for separate accounts.

Aggregate Reserves for Policies and Contracts

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

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

The aggregate policy reserves for life insurance policies are based principally upon the 1941, 1958, 1980 and 2001 Commissioner’s Standard Ordinary Mortality and American Experience Mortality Tables. The reserves are calculated using interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 6.00 percent and are computed principally on the Net Level Premium Valuation and the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method. Reserves for universal life policies are based on account balances adjusted for the Commissioner’s Reserve Valuation Method.

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

Deferred annuity reserves are calculated according to the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method including excess interest reserves to cover situations where the future interest guarantees plus the decrease in surrender charges are in excess of the maximum valuation rates of interest. Reserves for immediate annuities and supplementary contracts with and without life contingencies are equal to the present value of future payments assuming interest rates ranging from 2.00 to 11.25 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 option, on a change in fund basis, according to the Commissioner’s Annuity Reserve Valuation Method.

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

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

During 2012, the Company reported a decrease in reserves, net of reinsurance, on account of a change in valuation basis of $1,381 due to changing from the 1980 CSO mortality table to the minimum valuation standard of the 2001 CSO mortality table for a block of joint life universal life with secondary guarantee policies. Partially offsetting this decrease was a $408 increase in reserves on account of a change in valuation basis due to coding in the reserve valuation system reserves which had been held constant since 2008 for paid-up additions on a block of participating policies. The net decrease in reserves of $973 due to the changes in valuation bases has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.

Policy and Contract Claim Reserves

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

Liability for Deposit-Type Contracts

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

The Company issues certain funding agreements with well-defined class-based annuity purchase rates defining either specific or maximum purchase rate guarantees. However, these funding agreements are not issued to or for the benefit of an identifiable individual or group of individuals. These contracts are classified as deposit-type contracts in accordance with SSAP No. 50.

Municipal Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Municipal 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.

These municipal repurchase agreements require a minimum of 95% of the fair value of the securities transferred to be maintained as collateral.

Premiums and Annuity Considerations

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

Claims and Claim Adjustment Expense

Liabilities for losses and loss/claim adjustment expenses for accident and health contracts are estimated using statistical claim development models to develop best estimates of liabilities for medical expense business and using tabular reserves employing mortality/morbidity tables and discount rates meeting minimum regulatory requirements for other business.

Reinsurance

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

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

Certain management employees of the Company participate in a stock-based long-term incentive compensation plan issued by the Company’s indirect parent. In accordance with SSAP No. 13, Stock Options and Stock Purchase Plans, the expense or benefit related to this plan for the Company’s management employees has been charged to the Company, with an offsetting amount credited to paid-in surplus. The Company recorded an accrued expense in the amount of $28,886, $19,754 and $9,158 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Effective December 31, 2013 the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments – Revised, which incorporates subsequent event (Type II) disclosures for entities subject to Section 9010 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act related to assessments payable. The adoption of this revision did not impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations as revisions relate to disclosures only. See Note 15 for further discussion.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted SSAP No. 92, Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, A Replacement of SSAP No. 14, and SSAP No. 102, Accounting for Pensions, A Replacement of SSAP No. 89. This guidance impacts accounting for defined benefit pension plans or other postretirement plans, along with related disclosures. SSAP No. 102 requires recognition of the funded status of the plan based on the projected benefit obligation instead of the accumulated benefit obligation as under SSAP No. 89, Accounting for Pensions, A Replacement of SSAP No. 8. In addition, SSAP No. 92 and SSAP No. 102 require consideration of non-vested participants. The adoption of these standards did not impact the Company’s results of operations, financial position or disclosures as the Company does not sponsor the pension plan and is not directly liable under the plan. See Note 11 for further discussion of the Company’s pension plan and other post retirement plans as sponsored by Aegon.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted SSAP No. 103, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, which adopts with modifications the guidance in Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2009-16, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets and supersedes SSAP No. 91R, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. The adoption of this standard did not impact the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 36, Troubled Debt Restructuring. These revisions adopt guidance from ASU 2011-02, Receivables – A Creditors’ Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring, which clarifies what constitutes a troubled debt restructuring and adopts with modification troubled debt restructuring disclosures for creditors from ASU 2010-20: Receivables (Topic 310), Disclosures About the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. The adoption of this revision did not impact the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 86 to require disclosure of embedded credit derivatives within a financial instrument that expose the holder to the possibility of making future payments, and adopted guidance from Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-11, Derivatives and Hedging – Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives, to clarify that seller credit derivative disclosures do not apply to embedded derivative features related to the transfer of credit risk that is only in the form of subordination of one financial instrument to another. The adoption of these revisions had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 86 to move one aspect of the criteria for a hedged forecasted transaction and incorporate it as criteria for a fair value hedge. The adoption of this revision had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 27, Disclosure of Information about Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk, Financial Instruments with Concentrations of Credit Risk and Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which clarifies that embedded derivatives, which are not separately recognized as derivatives under statutory accounting, are included in the disclosures of financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risk. The adoption of this revision had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company adopted non-substantive revisions to SSAP No. 1, Disclosures of Accounting Policies, Risks and Uncertainties and Other Disclosures. These

revisions require reference to the accounting policy and procedure footnote that describes permitted or prescribed practices when an individual note is impacted by such practices. The adoption of this requirement had no impact to the Company’s results of operation or financial position, but did require additional disclosures. See Note 8 Policy and Contract Attributes for further details.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company adopted revisions to SSAP No. 100, Fair Value Measurements (SSAP No. 100). These revisions require new disclosures of fair value hierarchy and the method used to obtain the fair value measurement, a new footnote that summarizes hierarchy levels by type of financial instrument and gross presentation of purchases, sales, issues and settlements within the reconciliation for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the hierarchy. The adoption of these revisions had no impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position, but did require additional disclosures. See Note 4 Fair Values of Financial Instruments for further details.

Effective January 1, 2012, the Company began computing current and deferred income taxes in accordance with SSAP No. 101. This statement established statutory accounting principles for current and deferred federal and foreign income taxes and current state income taxes. The adoption of this statement resulted in the transfer of $432,568 from Aggregate Write-Ins for Other than Special Surplus Funds to Unassigned Funds and updates to the Company’s income tax disclosures. See Note 7 Income Taxes for further details.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 10R, Income TaxesRevised, A Temporary Replacement of SSAP No. 10 (SSAP No. 10R). This statement established statutory accounting principles for current and deferred federal and foreign income taxes and current state income taxes. The SSAP temporarily superseded SSAP No. 10, Income Taxes. SSAP No. 10R allowed an entity to elect to admit additional deferred tax assets (DTAs) utilizing a three year loss carryback provision, plus the lesser of a look-forward of three years on gross DTAs expected to be realized or 15% of statutory capital and surplus if the entity’s risk-based capital is above the 250% risk-based capital level where an action level could occur as a result of a trend test utilizing the old SSAP No. 10 provisions to calculate the DTA. Prior to the adoption of SSAP No. 10R, the admitted DTA was calculated by taking into consideration a one year loss carryback and look-forward on gross DTAs that can be expected to be realized and a 10% capital and surplus limit on the admitted amount of the DTA. The Company elected to admit additional deferred tax assets pursuant to SSAP No. 10R and as a result, the cumulative effect of the adoption of this standard was the difference between the calculation of the admitted DTA per SSAP No.10R and the old SSAP No. 10 methodology at December 31, 2011. This change in accounting principle increased surplus by a net amount of $432,568 at December 31, 2011, which has been recorded within the statements of changes in capital and surplus.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 5R, Liabilities, Contingencies and Impairments of Assets – Revised. The revisions require the Company to recognize a liability equal to the greater of (a) the fair value of the guarantee at its inception, even if the likelihood of payment under the guarantee is remote or (b) the contingent liability amount required to be recognized if it is probable that a liability has been incurred at the financial statement date and the amount of loss can reasonably be determined. While this guidance does not exclude guarantees issued as intercompany transactions or between related parties from the initial liability recognition requirement, there are a couple exceptions. Guarantees made to/or on behalf of a wholly-owned subsidiary and related party guarantees that are considered “unlimited” (for example, in response to a rating agency’s requirement to provide a commitment to support) are exempt from the initial liability recognition. Additional disclosures are also required under this new guidance for all guarantees, whether or not they meet the criteria for initial liability recognition. The adoption of this new accounting principle had no material impact to the Company’s results of operations or financial position, but did require additional disclosures regarding these guarantees. See Note 13 on Commitments and Contingencies for further details.

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

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

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted SSAP No. 35R, Guaranty Fund and Other Assessments – Revised. This statement modified the conditions required for recognizing a liability for insurance-related assessments and required additional disclosures. See Note 13 for disclosures related to guaranty fund assessments. The adoption of this accounting principle had no financial impact to the Company.

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company adopted revisions to certain paragraphs of SSAP No. 43R, Loan-backed and Structured Securities to clarify the accounting for gains and losses

between AVR and IMR. The revisions clarify that an AVR/IMR bifurcation analysis should be performed when SSAP No. 43R securities are sold (not just as a result of impairment). These changes were applied on a prospective basis and had no financial impact to the Company upon adoption.

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

Effective January 1, 2014, the Company will adopt SSAP No. 105, Working Capital Finance Investments, which allows working capital finance investments to be admitted assets if certain criteria are met. The adoption of this standard had no impact to the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Effective December 31, 2014, the Company will adopt revisions to SSAP No. 104R, Share-Based Payments, which provides guidance for share-based payments transactions with non-employees. The adoption of this revision will have no impact to the financial position and results of operations of the Company.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation.

During 2012, the Company changed the presentation of various reinsurance related balances. As a result of these changes, $91,236 was reclassified from Remittances and items not allocated to Other liabilities as of December 31, 2011. In addition, $807,484 and $237,399, respectively, was reclassified between the Net transfers to separate accounts line and the Surrender benefits line in the 2011 and 2010 Statements of Operations to conform to the 2012 presentation. Lastly, Reinsurance transaction – modco reserve adjustment on reinsurance assumed was presented as a separate line item in 2012. As a result of this change in presentation, $(218,566) and $(262,273), respectively, was reclassed between the Other expenses line and the Reinsurance transaction – modco reserve adjustment on reinsurance assumed line in the 2011 and 2010 Statements of Operations to conform to the 2012 presentation.

2. Prescribed and Permitted Statutory Accounting Practices

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

The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to the admission of a parental guarantee in the equity value calculation of TLIC Riverwood Reinsurance, Inc. (TRRI), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 191-99.11(5), the Company is entitled to value its ownership in TRRI at a value equal to the audited statutory surplus of TRRI, which includes the parental guarantee provided by Aegon USA, LLC as an admissible asset, whereas SSAP No. 97 – Investments in Subsidiary, Controlled and Affiliated Entities, A Replacement of SSAP No. 88 would not allow the admissibility of such an asset.

The NAIC SAP has been adopted as a component of prescribed or permitted practices by the State of Iowa. The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to reserve credits and secondary guarantee reinsurance treaties. As prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 191-17.3(2), the Commissioner found that the Company is entitled to take reserve credit for such a reinsurance contract in the amount equal to the portion of total reserves attributable to the secondary guarantee, whereas this type of reinsurance does not meet the specific requirements of SSAP No. 61, Life, Deposit-Type and Accident and Health Reinsurance and Appendix A-791 of the NAIC SAP.

The Company, with the permission of the Commissioner of Insurance of the State of Iowa, records the value of its wholly owned foreign life insurance subsidiary, Transamerica Life (Bermuda), Ltd. (TLB), based upon audited statutory equity rather than audited foreign statutory equity, utilizing adjustments as outlined in SSAP No. 97.

The State of Iowa has adopted a prescribed accounting practice that differs from that found in the NAIC SAP related to the reported value of the assets supporting the Company’s guaranteed separate accounts. As prescribed by Iowa Administrative Code 508A.1.4, the Commissioner found that the Company is entitled to value the assets of the guaranteed separate account at amortized cost, whereas the assets would be required to be reported at fair value under SSAP No. 56, Separate Accounts, of the NAIC SAP. There is no impact to the Company’s income or surplus as a result of utilizing this prescribed practice.

During 2011, the Company entered into a retrocession reinsurance contract and subsequent novation agreements with respect to each of the unaffiliated retroceded reinsurance contracts. The retrocession reinsurance contract transferred the Company’s liabilities to SCOR SE (SCOR), a Societas Europaea organized under the laws of France, and subsequently facilitated the ultimate novation of third party retrocession reinsurance contracts in support of the exiting of the reinsurance operations. No additional net consideration was contemplated upon execution of the novation agreements. Therefore, the Company had the same net retained risk of zero both prior to and subsequent to the execution of the novations.

SSAP No. 61 defines novation agreements as one which extinguishes one entity’s liability and moves it to another entity, which is applicable under this situation. The retrocession agreement had all references to the Company removed and replaced with SCOR upon completion of the novations. SSAP No. 61 does not specifically address novation and releases related to retrocession agreements, however as both cedents and retrocessionaires in this situation are a party to the agreement, the intent of the novation and release is consistent with the application for direct cedents application of the standard. Thus, the Company reported the novation and

release similar to a novation, as outlined in paragraphs 53-56 of SSAP No. 61, with direct adjustments to the balance sheet.

3. Accounting Changes and Correction of Errors

During 2013, the Company determined the correct data had not been utilized in the stand-alone asset adequacy analysis as defined under Actuarial Guideline XXXVIII section 8C (AG38 8C). The error resulted in an understatement of the additional asset adequacy reserve recorded at December 31, 2012 in the amount of $35,000. This was corrected in 2013, and the Company reflected the impact of the correction as a change in unassigned surplus within the statement of capital and surplus.

Effective December 16, 2011, the Company released an IMR liability associated with the block of business ceded to an unaffiliated entity on a coinsurance basis. Since the portion of the block of business ceded did not represent more than one percent of the Company’s general account liabilities, the IMR liability should not have been released when the reinsurance transaction was effected. The error resulted in an understatement of the IMR liability in the amount of $8,889. This was corrected in 2012, and the Company reflected the impact of the correction as a change in unassigned surplus within the statement of changes in capital and surplus.

Effective August 9, 2011, the Company released an IMR liability associated with a block of business retroceded to an unaffiliated entity. The gain on the release of the IMR liability should have been deferred through unassigned surplus but was instead included in the statements of operations. The error resulted in an overstatement of net income in the amount of $33,567. This was corrected in 2012, and the Company reflected the impact of the correction as a change in unassigned surplus within the statement of changes in capital and surplus. The offsetting adjustment is to the change in surplus as a result of reinsurance line within the statements of operations. There was no net impact to surplus as a result of this correction.

During 2012, the Company discovered an error in the calculation of waiver of premium reserves for long term care business due to the use of inaccurate premiums waived data. The error resulted in an understatement of reserves of $20,341 as of December 31, 2011. This has been reported as a correction of an error in the statement of changes in capital and surplus.

4. Fair Values of Financial Instruments

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

Determination of fair value

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

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

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

Fair value hierarchy

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified, for disclosure purposes, based on a hierarchy defined by SSAP No. 100. The hierarchy gives the highest ranking to fair values determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1), and the lowest ranking to fair values determined using methodologies and models with unobservable inputs (Level 3). An asset’s or a liability’s classification is based on the lowest level input that is significant to its measurement. For example, a Level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are both observable (Levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (Level 3). The levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 -    Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2 -    Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:
  

a)      Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

  

b)      Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets

  

c)      Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable

  

d)      Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other  means

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

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

Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments: The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying balance sheets for these financial instruments approximate their fair values. Cash is not included in the below tables.

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

Bonds and Stocks: The NAIC allows insurance companies to report the fair value determined by the SVO or to determine the fair value by using a permitted valuation method. The fair

values of bonds and stocks are reported or determined using the following pricing sources: indexes, third party pricing services, brokers, external fund managers and internal models.

Fair values for fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) actively traded are determined from third-party pricing services, which are determined as discussed above in the description of level one and level two values within the fair value hierarchy. For fixed maturity securities (including redeemable preferred stock) not actively traded, fair values are estimated using values obtained from third-party pricing services, or are based on non-binding broker quotes or internal models. In the case of private placements, fair values are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows using current market rates applicable to the coupon rate, credit and maturity of the investments.

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

Real estate: Real estate held for sale is typically valued utilizing independent external appraisers in conjunction with reviews by qualified internal appraisers. Valuations are primarily based on active market prices, adjusted for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific property. If such information is not available, other valuation methods are applied, considering the value that the property’s net earning power will support, the value indicated by recent sales of comparable properties and the current cost of reproducing or replacing the property.

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

Derivative Financial Instruments: The estimated fair values of interest rate caps and options are based upon the latest quoted market price at the balance sheet date. The estimated fair values of swaps, including interest rate and currency swaps, are based on pricing models or formulas using current assumptions. The estimated fair values of credit default swaps are based upon the pricing differential as of the balance sheet date for similar swap agreements. The Company accounts for derivatives that receive and pass hedge accounting in the same manner as the underlying hedged instrument. If that instrument is held at amortized cost, then the derivative is also held at amortized cost.

Policy Loans: The fair value of policy loans is equal to the book value of the loan, which is stated at unpaid principal balance.

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

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

Separate Account Assets and Annuity Liabilities: The fair value of separate account assets are based on quoted market prices when available. When not available, they are primarily valued either using third party pricing services or are valued in the same manner as the general account assets as further described in this note. However, some separate account assets are valued using non-binding broker quotes, which cannot be corroborated by other market observable data, or internal modeling which utilizes input that are not market observable. The fair value of separate account annuity liabilities is based on the account value for separate accounts business without guarantees. For separate accounts with guarantees, fair value is based on discounted cash flows.

Investment Contract Liabilities: Fair value for the Company’s liabilities under investment contracts, which include deferred annuities and GICs, are estimated using discounted cash flow calculations. For those liabilities that are short in duration, carrying amount approximates fair value. For investment contracts with no defined maturity, fair value is estimated to be the present surrender value.

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

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

The Company accounts for its investments in affiliated common stock using the equity method of accounting; as such, they are not included in the following disclosures.

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

Bonds classified in Level 2 are valued using inputs from third party pricing services or broker quotes. Level 3 measurements for bonds are primarily those valued using non-binding broker quotes, which cannot be corroborated by other market observable data or internal modeling which utilize inputs that are not market observable.

Preferred stock in Level 3 is being internally calculated.

Common stock in Level 2 represents common stock being carried at book value and some warrants that are valued using vendor inputs. Common stock in Level 3 is comprised primarily of shares in the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines, which are valued at par as a proxy for fair value as a result of restrictions that allow redemptions only by FHLB.

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

Derivatives classified as Level 2 represent over-the-counter (OTC) contracts valued using pricing models based on the net present value of estimated future cash flows, directly observed

prices from exchange-traded derivatives, other OTC trades or external pricing services. The Level 3 derivative liability is a credit swap calculated by simulation using a series of market-consistent inputs to model the dynamics of the swap. The inputs are taken from market instruments to the extent that they exist.

Separate account assets are valued and classified in the same way as general account assets (described above). For example, separate account assets in Level 3 are those valued using broker quotes or internal modeling which utilize unobservable inputs.

During 2013 and 2012, there were no transfers between Level 1 and 2, respectively.

The following tables summarize the changes in assets and liabilities classified in Level 3 for 2013 and 2012:

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

Transfers in for bonds were the result of securities being valued using third party vendor inputs as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, subsequently changing to being valued using internal models during 2013 and 2012. In addition, transfers in for bonds were the result of securities being carried at amortized cost at December 31, 2012 and 2011, subsequently changing to being carried at fair value during 2013 and 2012. Transfers in for bonds were also the result of securities being valued using third party vendor inputs as of December 31, 2011, subsequently changing to being valued using broker quotes during 2012.

Transfers out for bonds were partly attributable to securities being valued using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs at December 31, 2012 and 2011, subsequently changing to

being valued using third party vendor inputs, thus causing the transfer out of Level 3 during 2013 and 2012. In addition, transfers out for bonds were attributed to securities being carried at fair value at December 31, 2011, subsequently changing to being carried at amortized cost during 2012. Transfers out for bonds were also the result of securities being valued using internal models at December 31, 2011, subsequently changing to being valued using vendor inputs during 2012.

In addition, transfers in for common stock were attributed to securities being valued using third party vendor inputs at December 31, 2011, subsequently changing to being valued using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs, thus causing the transfer in during 2012. Also, there were securities that were valued using broker quotes which utilize observable inputs, subsequently changing to being valued using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs during 2012.

Transfers out for common stock were attributed to securities being valued using a stale price at December 31, 2011, subsequently changing to being valued using third party vendor inputs, thus causing the transfer out of Level 3 during 2012. In addition, transfers out for common stock were attributed to securities being valued using broker quotes at December 31, 2011, subsequently changing to being valued using vendor inputs during 2012.

Transfers out for separate account assets were attributable to securities being valued using broker quotes which utilize unobservable inputs at December 31, 2012 and 2011, subsequently changing to being valued using third party vendor inputs, thus causing the transfer out of Level 3 during 2013 and 2012.

Nonrecurring fair value measurements

As indicated in Note 1, real estate held for sale is measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has several parcels of land that it is exploring the sale of. Therefore, these properties are carried at fair value less cost to sell, which amounts to $1,496. One parcel of land has a carrying amount less than its fair value and therefore is not carried at fair value as of December 31, 2013.

The Company also had parcels of land that were held for sale as of December 31, 2012. Fair value less cost to sell of these properties was $4,100.

Fair value was determined by utilizing an external appraisal following the sales comparison approach. The fair value measurements are classified in Level 3 as the comparable sales and adjustments for the specific attributes of these properties are not market observable inputs.

mortgage obligations (CMOs), Alt-A RMBS, negative amortization RMBS, government sponsored enterprise (GSE) guaranteed pass-throughs and reverse mortgage RMBS. The unrealized loss in the sector is primarily a result of the housing downturn in the United States that started in 2007. The housing market in the United States has shown signs of improvement as evidenced by rising home prices and sales volume. Positive trends in the housing market have led to improvements in borrower delinquencies and prepayment rates as well as liquidation timelines. Loss severities on liquidated properties remain elevated for subprime loans but are starting to show signs of improvement for other RMBS sectors. The improving home prices and credit performance led to credit spread tightening across the asset class.

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

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

If cash flow models indicate a credit event will impact future cash flows and the Company does not have the intent to sell the tranche or holding and does have the intent and ability to hold the security, the security is impaired to discounted cash flows. As the remaining unrealized losses in the RMBS portfolio relate to holdings where the Company expects to receive full principal and interest, the Company does not consider the underlying investments to be impaired as of December 31, 2013.

The credit quality for commercial and farm mortgage loans was determined based on an internal credit rating model which assigns a letter rating to each mortgage loan in the portfolio as an indicator of the credit quality of the mortgage loan. The internal credit rating model was designed based on rating agency methodology, then modified for credit risk associated with the Company’s mortgage lending process, taking into account such factors as projected future cash flows, net operating income, and collateral value. The model produces a credit rating score and an associated letter rating which is intended to align with S&P ratings as closely as possible. Information supporting the credit risk rating process is updated at least annually.

6. Reinsurance

Certain premiums and benefits are assumed from and ceded to other insurance companies under various reinsurance agreements. The Company reinsures portions of the risk on certain insurance policies which exceed its established limits, thereby providing a greater diversification of risk and minimizing exposure on larger risks. The Company remains contingently liable with respect to any insurance ceded, and this would become an actual liability in the event that the assuming insurance company became unable to meet its obligation under the reinsurance treaty.

Premiums earned reflect the following reinsurance amounts:

 

     Year Ended December 31  
     2013     2012     2011  

Direct premiums

   $ 16,910,642      $ 13,426,938      $ 13,297,032

The Company received reinsurance recoveries in the amount of $2,927,641, $3,542,504 and $2,756,316 during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, estimated amounts recoverable from reinsurers that have been deducted from policy and contract claim reserves totaled $606,295 and $618,208, respectively. The aggregate reserves for policies and contracts were reduced for reserve credits for reinsurance ceded at December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $34,352,837 and $37,141,980, respectively.

The net amount of the reduction in surplus at December 31, 2013 and 2012, if all reinsurance agreements were cancelled, is $176,597 and $235,002, respectively.

During 2013, the Company recaptured business previously reinsured to an affiliate. The Company received recapture consideration of $75,113, recaptured life, annuity and claim reserves of $173,957, recaptured other assets of $3,360 and released into income from surplus a previously deferred unamortized gain from the original transaction in the amount of $25,121 ($16,328 net of tax), resulting in a pre-tax loss of $70,363, which has been included in the statement of operations.

During 2013, the Company also recaptured treaties associated with the divestiture of the Transamerica Reinsurance operations previously reinsured to various unaffiliated entities. The Company received recapture consideration of $678, recaptured life, annuity and claim reserves of $840, and recaptured other assets of $556, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $394, which has been included in the statement of operations.

Subsequent to these recaptures, the Company novated the treaties that were previously ceded to various affiliated and unaffiliated entities, in which consideration paid was $75,791, life and claim reserves released were $174,797, and other assets transferred were $3,916, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $95,090, which has been included in the statement of operations.

The Company novated third party assumed retrocession agreements that were previously retroceded to a non-affiliate in which no net consideration was exchanged, life and claim reserves were exchanged in the amount of $146,003 and other assets were exchanged in the amount of $15,520. As a result, there was no net financial impact from these transactions on a pre-tax basis, as assumed and ceded reserves along with other assets exchanged were impacted by equivalent amounts. In connection with this transaction, an unamortized gain relating to these blocks of $67,331 ($44,018, net of tax) was released into income, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $67,331, which has been included in the statement of operations.

Subsequently, the Company ceded a portion of this recaptured business to two separate non-affiliated entities. The Company paid a reinsurance premium of $1,508,278 and a ceding commission of $41,149, released life, annuity and claim reserves of $1,510,206 and released an after-tax IMR liability associated with the block of business in the amount of $90,462, resulting in a net of tax gain on the transaction in the amount of $64,969 (IMR after-tax gain of $90,462, less gross loss on reinsurance of $39,221, taxed at 35%), which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus. This gain will be recognized in income as earnings emerge on the reinsured block of business. During 2012, the Company amortized $3,261 of this deferred gain into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus.

During 2012, the Company recaptured certain treaties associated with the divestiture of the Transamerica Reinsurance operations that were previously ceded to various non-affiliated entities so they could perform the ultimate novation, for which no net consideration was received. Life and claim reserves recaptured were $70,992 and other assets were recaptured of $67,295, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $3,697, which has been included in the statement of operations.

Also during 2012, the Company novated third party assumed retrocession agreements that were previously retroceded to a non-affiliate in which no net consideration was exchanged. Life and claim reserves were exchanged in the amount of $129,464 and other assets were exchanged in the amount of $10,748. As a result, there was no net financial impact from these transactions on a pre-tax basis, as assumed and ceded reserves along with other assets exchanged were impacted by equivalent amounts.

On April 26, 2011, Aegon N.V. announced the disposition of its life reinsurance operations, Transamerica Reinsurance, to SCOR, which was effective August 9, 2011. The life reinsurance business conducted by Transamerica Reinsurance was written through several of Aegon N.V.’s U.S. and international affiliates, all of which remain Aegon N.V. affiliates following the closing, except for Transamerica International Reinsurance Ireland, Limited (TIRI), an Irish reinsurance company. As a result of this transaction, the Company entered into a series of recapture and reinsurance agreements during the second, third and fourth quarters of 2011 which directly resulted in a pre-tax loss of $3,337,294 which was included in the statement of operations, and a net of tax gain of $2,694,506 which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus. These amounts include current year amortization of previously deferred gains, as well as releases of previously deferred gains from unassigned surplus into earnings. Additional information surrounding these transactions is outlined below.

The Company amortized $10,044 prior to the recaptures in 2011 and $4,978 in 2010 of the original gain into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus. Additionally, another affiliate recaptured certain business that had been previously reinsured by the Company on a coinsurance basis. The Company received recapture consideration of $14,200, released assets of $16,678 and released reserves of $16,685, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $14,207, which has been included in the statement of operations.

Subsequently, also effective during the second quarter of 2011, the Company ceded a portion of the recaptured business above to an affiliate on a coinsurance and coinsurance funds withheld bases. The Company received an initial ceding commission of $40,097, established a funds withheld liability of $11,674,680, released reserves of $12,982,528, transferred other net assets of $364,305 and released an after-tax IMR liability in the amount of $146,227, resulting in a net of tax gain on the transactions in the amount of $785,593, which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.

unassigned surplus. Also effective during the second quarter of 2011, the Company ceded a portion of the recaptured business above to a non-affiliate on a coinsurance basis. The Company paid an initial reinsurance premium of $1,486,693 and ceding commission of $21,270, released reserves and other liabilities of $1,486,692 and released an after-tax IMR liability associated with the block of business in the amount of $50,453, resulting in a net of tax gain on the transaction in the amount of $36,627, which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus. During 2012 and 2011, the Company amortized $5,140 and $1,888, respectively, of this gain into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus.

During the last half of 2011, the Company recaptured business that was associated with the divestiture of the Transamerica Reinsurance operations which was previously retroceded on a coinsurance basis to two affiliates. The Company received recapture consideration of $243,415, recaptured reserves of $2,168,882, recaptured other assets of $72,124 and released a prior deferred gain related to the initial transactions in the amount of $861,479, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $991,864, which has been included in the statement of operations. The Company also recaptured business from a non-affiliate in a similar transaction. The Company paid recapture consideration of $734,171, recaptured reserves of $335,286 and recaptured other net assets of $51,045, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $1,018,412, which has been included in the statement of operations.

The Company paid a reinsurance premium of $273,178, received an initial ceding commission of $79,841, released reserves of $3,146,859, transferred other assets in the amount of $76,768 and released an after-tax IMR liability associated with the block of business in the amount of $33,567, resulting in a net of tax gain on the transaction of $1,903,457, which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus. During 2012 and 2011, respectively, the Company amortized $5,669 and $1,541 of the deferred gains related to the divestiture of the Transamerica Reinsurance operations to a non-affiliate into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus.

During the last half of 2011, the Company recaptured the business that was associated with the divestiture of the Transamerica Reinsurance operations from several Aegon N.V. affiliates. This business was subsequently ceded to SCOR entities and in addition, retrocession reinsurance treaties were executed. The Company assigned certain third party retrocession agreements to SCOR entities as a component of the divestiture of the Transamerica Reinsurance operations and the associated Master Retrocession Agreement. As a result, the unaffiliated retrocession reinsurance treaties were assigned from the Company to a SCOR entity, resulting in this risk being ceded to SCOR and subsequently to the unaffiliated third parties. The reserves and assets associated with these assignments were $80,301, where the counterparty’s net reserves ceded

Prior to the recaptures in 2011, the Company amortized $15,593 of the original gain into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus. Subsequently, the Company reinsured this business, along with additional business, to a new affiliate on a coinsurance funds withheld basis.

During 2011, the Company amortized $146 into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus. The Company did not amortize any of this deferred gain into earnings during 2012.

Effective December 31, 2011, the Company recaptured business that was previously reinsured on a coinsurance funds withheld basis to a non-affiliate. The Company released the associated funds withheld liability of $6,689 and recaptured reserves of $13,812, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $7,123 which has been included in the statement of operations. Subsequently, the Company ceded that business, as well as additional in force business written and assumed by the Company and all new policies issued thereafter, on a coinsurance funds withheld basis to an affiliate. The Company established a funds withheld liability of $19,899 and released reserves of $34,659, resulting in a net of tax gain of $9,594, which has been credited directly to unassigned surplus.

$17,543 and $309 (net of tax) of this gain into earnings with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus.

Effective December 16, 2011, the Company reinsured medium term notes to a non-affiliate on a coinsurance basis. The Company paid a ceding commission of $8,000, transferred other assets in the amount of $600,594 and released reserves of the same amount, resulting in a pre-tax loss of $8,000, which has been included in the statement of operations.

During 2010, the Company entered into assumption reinsurance agreements in which the Company assumed term life policies from an affiliate. Life and claim reserves of $56,845 and $8,004, respectively, and other assets of $5,539 were assumed by the Company. The Company received consideration of $5,897. This transaction resulted in a net pre-tax loss to the Company of $53,413, which was reclassified to the balance sheet and presented as goodwill, as this transaction was deemed economic. The goodwill was to be amortized into operations over the period in which the Company benefits economically, not to exceed 10 years. Amortization of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $2,651. This business was a component of the business that was moved as a result of the divestiture of the Transamerica Reinsurance operations to SCOR, effective August 9, 2011. As a result, the goodwill associated with this business was fully written off in 2011.

Effective April 1, 2010, the Company entered into an indemnity reinsurance agreement to cede certain term life insurance policies to an affiliate on a coinsurance basis. The Company released life and claim reserves of $484,646 and $3,108, respectively, and other net assets of $24,933, resulting in a net of tax gain of $300,833, which was deferred directly into unassigned surplus. During 2010, the Company amortized $11,200 of this gain into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus.

The Company entered into an assumption reinsurance agreement with MLIC effective September 30, 2008. The Company was the issuer of a series of corporate-owned life insurance policies issued to LIICA. The assumption reinsurance transaction resulted in the Company novating all liabilities arising under these policies to MLIC. The Company ceded reserves of $138,025 and paid consideration of $125,828. The Company recorded a liability of $12,197 within the remittances line related to this transaction. The Company amortized $1,191, $1,130 and $1,073 of the liability in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

During 2012 and 2011, the Company amortized deferred gains from reinsurance transactions occurring prior to 2011 of $28,528 and $29,355, respectively, into earnings on a net of tax basis with a corresponding charge to unassigned surplus.

TLB acquired the direct liability to the policyholder through a court order from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Court, effective December 31, 2006, for most of the business issued from Transamerica Occidental Life Insurance Company’s (TOLIC) branch in Hong Kong. TOLIC merged in to the Company effective October 1, 2008. TLB also acquired the direct liability to the policyholder through a court order from the High Court of the Republic of Singapore, effective December 31, 2006 for all business issued from TOLIC’s branch in Singapore. The novation of the contracts was approved by the Iowa Insurance Department and all policyholder liabilities were transferred to TLB. All balances assumed by TLB were reflected as direct adjustments to the balance sheet. As the transfer occurred between affiliated companies no gain or loss was recognized, and the difference between the assets transferred and the statutory liabilities assumed in the amount of $78,993 was recorded as goodwill and will be amortized into operations over the life of the business, not to exceed ten years. Goodwill in the amount of $7,485, $7,767 and $8,053 was amortized during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to this transaction. TLB is valued on a U.S. statutory basis and includes a deferred gain liability of a similar amount to the goodwill reflected in the financials of the Company.

The Company reports a reinsurance deposit receivable of $178,513 and $167,223 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 1996, TOLIC entered into a reinsurance agreement with an unaffiliated company where, for a net consideration of $59,716, TOLIC ceded certain portions of future obligations under single premium annuity contracts originally written by the Company in 1993. Consistent with the requirements of SSAP No. 75, Reinsurance Deposit Accounting, the Company reports the net consideration paid as a deposit. The amount reported is the present value of the future payment streams discounted at the effective yield rate determined at inception.

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company obtained letters of credit of $200,872, $790,269 and $841,411, respectively, for the benefit of affiliated and nonaffiliated companies that have reinsured business to the Company where the ceding company’s state of domicile does not recognize the Company as an authorized reinsurer.

For federal income tax purposes, the Company joins in a consolidated income tax return filing with its parent and other affiliated companies. The method of allocation between the companies is subject to a written tax allocation agreement. Under the terms of the tax allocation agreement, allocations are based on separate income tax return calculations. The Company is entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid in the event the future losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company’s separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group’s income tax liability in the year generated. The Company is also entitled to recoup federal income taxes paid

in the event the losses and credits reduce the greater of the Company’s separately computed income tax liability or the consolidated group’s income tax liability in any carryback or carryforward year when so applied. Intercompany income tax balances are settled within thirty days of payment to or filing with the Internal Revenue Service. A tax return has not yet been filed for 2013.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, the Company had a $308,791 and $82,421 tax credit carryforward available for tax purposes. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had no operating loss or capital loss carryforwards available for tax purposes.

The Company incurred income taxes of $0, $0 and $6,964 during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which will be available for recoupment in the event of future net losses.

The amount of tax contingencies calculated for the Company as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 is $814 and $1,448, respectively. The total amount of tax contingencies that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate is $814. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income taxes as income tax expense. The Company’s interest (benefit) expense related to income taxes for the years ending December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is $67, $1,102 and ($3,883), respectively. The total interest payable balance as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 is $28 and $95, respectively. The Company recorded no liability for penalties. It is not anticipated that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase within twelve months of the reporting date.

The Company’s federal income tax returns have been examined by the Internal Revenue Service and closing agreements have been executed through 2004. The examination for the years 2005 through 2006 have been completed and resulted in tax return adjustments that are currently undergoing final calculation at appeal. The examination for the years 2007 through 2008 has been completed and resulted in tax return adjustments that are currently being appealed. An examination is already in progress for the years 2009 and 2010. The Company believes that there are adequate defenses against or sufficient provisions established related to any open or contested tax positions.

Included in the liability for deposit-type contracts at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are $261,946 and $257,327, respectively, of funding agreements issued to special purpose entities in conjunction with non-recourse medium-term note programs. Under these programs, the proceeds from each note series issuance are used to purchase a funding agreement from an affiliated Company which secures that particular series of notes. The funding agreement is reinsured to the Company. In general, the payment terms of the note series match the payment terms of the funding agreement that secures that series. Claims for principal and interest for these funding agreements are afforded equal priority as other policyholders.

At December 31, 2013, the contractual maturities were as follows:

Certain separate and variable accounts held by the Company relate to individual variable life insurance policies. The benefits provided on the policies are determined by the performance and/or fair value of the investments held in the separate account. The net investment experience of the separate account is credited directly to the policyholder and can be positive or negative. The assets of these separate accounts are carried at fair value. The life insurance policies typically provide a guaranteed minimum death benefit.

Certain separate accounts held by the Company represent funds which are administered for pension plans. The assets consist primarily of fixed maturities and equity securities and are carried at 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 fair value changes are borne entirely by the policyholder.

The legal insulation of separate account assets prevents such assets from being generally available to satisfy claims resulting from the general account. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s separate account statement included legally insulated assets of $61,019,794 and $48,683,536, respectively. The assets legally insulated from general account claims at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are attributed to the following products:

Some separate account liabilities are guaranteed by the general account. In accordance with the guarantees provided, if the investment proceeds are insufficient to cover the rate of return guaranteed for the product, the policyholder proceeds will be remitted by the general account. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the general account of the Company had a maximum guarantee for separate account liabilities of $2,041,654 and $2,158,788, respectively. To compensate the general account for the risk taken, the separate account paid risk charges of $242,257, $180,634 and $124,027 to the general account in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the general account of the Company had paid $30,682, $61,745 and $32,156, respectively, toward separate account guarantees.

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company reported guaranteed separate account assets at amortized cost in the amount of $616,160 and $619,780, respectively, based upon the prescribed practice granted by the State of Iowa as described in Note 2. These assets had a fair value of $651,390 and $693,462 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which would have resulted in an unrealized gain of $35,230 and $73,682, respectively, had these assets been reported at fair value.

The Company does not participate in securities lending transactions within the separate account.

For variable annuities with guaranteed living benefits and variable annuities with minimum guaranteed death benefits the Company complies with Actuarial Guideline XLIII (AG 43), which replaces Actuarial Guidelines 34 and 39. AG 43 specifies statutory reserve requirements for variable annuity contracts with benefit guarantees (VACARVM) and without benefit guarantees and related products. The AG 43 reserve calculation includes variable annuity products issued after January 1, 1981. Examples of covered guaranteed benefits include

guaranteed minimum accumulation benefits, return of premium death benefits, guaranteed minimum income benefits, guaranteed minimum withdrawal benefits and guaranteed payout annuity floors. The aggregate reserve for contracts falling within the scope of AG 43 is equal to the conditional tail expectation (CTE) Amount, but not less than the standard scenario amount (SSA).

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

At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had variable and separate account annuities with minimum guaranteed benefits as follows:

For indeterminate premium products, a full schedule of current and anticipated premium rates is developed at the point of issue. Premium rate adjustments are considered when anticipated future experience foretells deviations from the original profit standards. The source of deviation (mortality, persistency, expense, etc.) is an important consideration in the re-rating decision as well as the potential effect of a rate change on the future experience of the existing block of business.

December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which were not included on the balance sheet of the Company as the Company does not have the ability to sell or repledge the collateral.

The Company has provided back-stop guarantees for the performance of non-insurance affiliates or subsidiaries that are involved in the guaranteed sale of investments in low-income housing tax credit partnerships. The nature of the obligation is to provide third party investors with a minimum guaranteed annual and cumulative return on their contributed capital which is based on tax credits and tax losses generated from the low income housing tax credit partnerships. Guarantee payments arise if low income housing tax credit partnerships experience unexpected significant decreases in tax credits and tax losses or there are compliance issues with the partnerships. A significant portion of the remaining term of the guarantees is between 13-18 years. The Company did not recognize a liability for the low income housing tax credit guarantees due to the adoption of SSAP No. 5R at December 31, 2013 or 2012, as the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make is immaterial to the Company’s financial results. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements as a decrease in net investment income. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Company could be required to make under these guarantees was $185 and $245 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. No payments are required as of December 31, 2013. The current assessment of risk of making payments under these guarantees is remote.

The Company has guaranteed to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) that it will provide adequate funds to make up for any liquidity shortfall in its wholly-owned foreign life insurance subsidiary, TLB (Singapore Branch), and continue to meet, pay and settle all present and future obligations of TLB.

The Company has guaranteed to the Hong Kong Insurance Authority that it will provide the financial support to TLB for maintaining TLB’s solvency at all times so as to enable TLB to promptly meet its obligations and liabilities. If at any time the value of TLB’s assets do not exceed its liabilities by the prevailing acceptable level of solvency, the Company will increase the paid up share capital of TLB or provide financial assistance to TLB to maintain the acceptable level of solvency, defined as net assets at one hundred and fifty percent of the required margin of solvency as stipulated under the Insurance Companies (Margin of Solvency) Regulation. As of December 31, 2013, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is able to meet its obligations and has assets in excess of its liabilities by the prevailing level of solvency as of this date.

The Company has guaranteed that TLB will (1) maintain tangible net worth of at least equal to the greater of 165% of Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Risk-Based Capital and the minimum required by regulatory authorities in all jurisdictions in which TLB operates, (2) have, at all times, sufficient cash to pay all contractual obligations in a timely manner and (3) have a maximum

operating leverage ratio of 20 times. TLIC can terminate this agreement upon thirty days written notice, but not until TLB attains a rating from S&P the same as without the support from this agreement, or the entire book of TLB business is transferred provided that it is transferred to an entity with a rating from S&P that is the same as or better than TLIC’s then current rating or AA, whichever is lower. As of December 31, 2013, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB has adequate tangible net worth, sufficient cash to meet its obligations and an operating leverage ratio not in excess of 20 times as of this date.

The Company is not able to estimate the financial statement impact or the maximum potential amount of future payments it could be required to make under these three guarantees as they are considered to be unlimited under the provisions of SSAP No. 5R.

The Company has provided a guarantee to TLB’s (Singapore Branch) policyholders. If TLB fails to pay a valid claim solely by reason of it becoming insolvent as defined by Bermuda law, then the Company shall pay directly to the policy owner or named beneficiary the amount of the valid claim. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, TLB holds related statutory-basis policy and claim reserves of $667,196 and $384,529, respectively, which would be the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this guarantee. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements as an increase to incurred claims. As of December 31, 2013, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is not insolvent as of this date.

The Company has provided a guarantee to TLB’s (Hong Kong Branch) policyholders. If TLB fails to pay a valid claim solely by reason of it becoming insolvent as defined by Bermuda law, then the Company shall pay directly to the policy owner or named beneficiary the amount of the valid claim. At December 31, 2013, TLB holds related statutory-basis policy and claim reserves of $1,260,437, which would be the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this guarantee. In the event the Company is required to make a payment under this guarantee, the payment would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements as an increase to incurred claims. As of December 31, 2013, there is no payment or performance risk because TLB is not insolvent as of this date.

The Company did not recognize a liability for any of the TLB guarantees due to the adoption of SSAP No. 5R at December 31, 2013 or 2012, as a liability is not required for guarantees to or on behalf of a wholly-owned subsidiary. Management monitors TLB’s financial condition, and there are no indications that TLB will become insolvent. As such, management feels the risk of payment under these guarantees on behalf of TLB is remote.

The Company has provided guarantees for the obligations of noninsurance affiliates who have accepted assignments of structured settlement payment obligations from other insurers and

 

105


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share amounts)

 

purchase structured settlement insurance policies from subsidiaries of the Company that match those obligations. The guarantees made by the Company are specific to each structured settlement contract and vary in date and duration of the obligation. These are numerous and are backed by the reserves established by the Company to represent the present value of the future payments for those contracts. The statutory reserve established at December 31, 2013 and 2012 for the total payout block is $3,610,718 and $3,688,696, respectively. As this reserve is already recorded on the balance sheet of the Company, there was no additional liability recorded due to the adoption of SSAP No. 5R.

The following table provides an aggregate compilation of guarantee obligations as of December 31, 2013 and 2012:

The Company has issued funding agreements to FHLB, and the funds received are reported as deposit-type liabilities per SSAP No. 52, Deposit-Type Contracts. Total reserves are equal to the funding agreements balance. These funding agreements are used for investment spread management purposes and are subject to the same asset/liability management practices as other deposit-type business. All of the funding agreements issued to FHLB are classified in the general account as it is a general obligation of the Company. Collateral is required by FHLB to support repayment of the funding agreements. In addition, FHLB requires their common stock to be purchased.

The Company has issued synthetic GIC contracts to benefit plan sponsors totaling $1,985,290 and $2,545,786 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. A synthetic GIC is an off-balance sheet fee-based product sold primarily to tax qualified plans. The plan sponsor retains ownership and control of the related plan assets. The Company provides book value benefit responsiveness in the event that qualified plan benefit requests exceed plan cash flows. In certain contracts, the Company agrees to make advances to meet benefit payment needs and earns a market interest rate on these advances. The periodically adjusted contract-crediting rate is the means by which investment and benefit responsive experience is passed through to participants. In return for the book value benefit responsive guarantee, the Company receives a premium that varies based on such elements as benefit responsive exposure and contract size. The Company underwrites the plans for the possibility of having to make benefit payments and also must agree to the investment guidelines to ensure appropriate credit quality and cash flow. A contract reserve of $3,000 has been established for the possibility of unexpected benefit payments at below market interest rates at December 31, 2013 and 2012.

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had entered into a credit enhancement and a standby liquidity asset purchase agreement on a municipal variable rate demand note facility with commitment amounts of $470 and $470, respectively, for which it was paid a fee. Prior to a change in the remarketing agent, this agreement was drawn upon and repaid during 2009. The Company does not believe there will be an additional draw under this agreement. However, if

 

107


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – Statutory Basis (continued)

(Dollars in Thousands, Except per Share amounts)

 

there were, any such draws would be purchases of municipal bonds, which would be repaid with interest.

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

The Company is subject to insurance guaranty laws in the states in which it writes business. These laws provide for assessments against insurance companies for the benefit of policyholders and claimants in the event of insolvency of other insurance companies. Assessments are charged to operations when received by the Company, except where right of offset against other taxes paid is allowed by law. Amounts available for future offsets are recorded as an asset on the Company’s balance sheet. The future obligation for known insolvencies has been accrued based on the most recent information available from the National Organization of Life and Health Insurance Guaranty 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 $8,525 and $26,107 and an offsetting premium tax benefit of $6,220 and $5,044 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for its estimated share of future guaranty fund assessments related to several major insurer insolvencies. The guaranty fund (benefit) expense was $(155), $(4,325) and $(3,645), for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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

The Company has recorded liabilities of $88,979 and $89,724 for municipal repurchase agreements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The repurchase agreements are primarily collateralized by investment-grade corporate bonds with book values of $88,847 and $85,713, respectively, and fair values of $94,435 and $92,872, respectively, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. These securities have maturity dates that range from 2014 to 2021.

For repurchase agreements, the Company rigorously manages asset/liability risks via an integrated risk management framework. The Company’s liquidity position is monitored constantly, and factors heavily in the management of the asset portfolio. Projections comparing liquidity needs to available resources in both adverse and routine scenarios are refreshed monthly. The results of these projections on time horizons ranging from 16 months to 24 months are the basis for the near-term liquidity planning. This liquidity model excludes new business

(non applicable for the spread business), renewals and other sources of cash and assumes all liabilities are paid off on the earliest dates required. Interest rate risk is carefully managed, in part through rigorously defined and monitored derivatives programs.

The Company enters into dollar repurchase agreements in which securities are delivered to the counterparty once adequate collateral has been received. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had dollar repurchase agreements outstanding in the amount of $216,485 and $82,026, respectively. The Company had an outstanding liability for borrowed money in the amount $209,442 and $85,516 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively due to participation in dollar repurchase agreements which includes accrued interest. The Company did not participate in dollar repurchase agreements at December 31, 2011.

The contractual maturities of the dollar repurchase agreement positions are as follows:

15. Subsequent Events

The financial statements are adjusted to reflect events that occurred between the balance sheet date and the date when the financial statements are issued, provided they give evidence of conditions that existed at the balance sheet date (Type I). Events that are indicative of conditions that arose after the balance sheet date are disclosed, but do not result in an adjustment of the financial statements themselves (Type II). With the exception of the Affordable Care Act annual fee described below, the Company has not identified any Type I or Type II subsequent events for the year ended December 31, 2013 through the date the financial statements are issued.

On January 1, 2014, the Company will be subject to an annual fee under section 9010 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This annual fee will be allocated to individual health insurers based on the ratio of the amount of the entity’s net premiums written during the preceding calendar year to the amount of health insurance for any U.S. health risk that is written during the preceding calendar year. A health insurance entity’s portion of the annual fee becomes payable once the entity provides health insurance for any U.S. health risk for each calendar year beginning on or after January 1, 2014. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has written health insurance subject to the ACA assessment, expects to conduct health insurance business in 2014, and estimates their portion of the annual health insurance industry fee to be payable on September 30, 2014 to be $448. This assessment is not expected to have a material impact on risk based capital in 2014.

The Board of Directors and Contract Owners

Of Separate Account VA-2L

Transamerica Life Insurance Company

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the subaccounts of Transamerica Life Insurance Company Separate Account VA-2L (the Separate Account), comprised of subaccounts as listed in the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets for the periods indicated thereon. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Separate Account’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Separate Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013 by correspondence with the fund companies or their transfer agents. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective subaccounts of Transamerica Life Insurance Company Separate Account VA-2L, at December 31, 2013, the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for the periods indicated thereon, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Separate Account VA-2L

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2013

 

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

 

Investments

Net purchase payments received by the Separate Account are invested in the portfolios of the Mutual Funds as selected by the contract owner. Investments are stated at the closing net asset values per share on December 31, 2013.

Realized capital gains and losses from sales of shares in the Separate Account are determined on the first-in, first-out basis. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) and dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Unrealized gains or losses from investments in the Mutual Funds are included in the Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Dividend Income

Dividends received from the Mutual Fund investments are reinvested to purchase additional mutual fund shares.

Accounting Policy

The financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for variable annuity separate accounts registered as unit investment trusts. The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding matters that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(1)  See footnote 1
* These amounts represent the dividends, excluding distributions of capital gains, received by the subaccount from the Mutual Fund, net of management fees assessed by the fund manager, divided by the average net assets. These ratios exclude those expenses, such as mortality and expense charges, that are assessed against contract owner accounts either through reductions in the unit values or the redemption of units. The recognition of investment income by the subaccount is affected by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the Mutual Fund in which the subaccounts invest.
** These amounts represent the annualized contract expenses of the subaccount, consisting primarily of mortality and expense charges, for each period indicated. These ratios include only those expenses that result in a direct reduction to unit values. Charges made directly to contract owner accounts through the redemption of units and expenses of the Mutual Fund have been excluded.
*** These amounts represent the total return for the periods indicated, including changes in the value of the Mutual Fund, and expenses assessed through the reduction of unit values. These ratios do not include any expenses assessed through the redemption of units. Investment options with a date notation indicate the effective date of that investment option in the variable account. The total return is calculated for each period indicated or from the effective date through the end of the reporting period. Effective 2012, total returns reflect a full twelve month period and total returns for subaccounts opened during the year have not been disclosed as they may not be indicative of a full year return. Effective 2011, expense ratios not in effect for the full twelve months are not reflected in the total return as they may not be indicative of a full year return.

5. Administrative and Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

TLIC deducts a daily administrative charge equal to an annual rate of .15% of the daily net assets value of each subaccount for administrative expenses. TLIC also deducts an annual charge during accumulation phase, not to exceed $35, proportionately from the subaccounts’ unit values. An annual charge ranging from 1.15% to 2.35% is deducted (based on the death benefit selected) from the unit values of the subaccounts of the Separate Account for TLIC’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 Mutual Fund. Charges for administrative and mortality and expense risk are an expense of the subaccount. Charges reflected above are those currently assessed and may be subject to change. Contract owners should see their actual policy and any related attachments to determine their specific charges.

6. Income Tax

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

7. Dividend Distributions

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

8. Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value Hierarchy

The Accounting Standards Codification™ (ASC) 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the nature of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

The Separate Account has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy which is based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are categorized as follows:

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

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

 

  a) Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets

 

  b) Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets

 

  c) Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable

 

  d) Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

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

All investments in the Mutual Funds included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are stated at fair value and are based upon daily unadjusted quoted prices, therefore are considered Level 1.

9. Subsequent Events

The Separate Account has evaluated the financial statements for subsequent events through the date which the financial statements were issued. During this period, there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

As of February 28, 2014, there were 7,067 Contract owners.

 

Item 28. Indemnification

The Iowa Code (Sections 490.850 et. seq.) provides for permissive indemnification in certain situations, mandatory indemnification in other situations, and prohibits indemnification in certain situations. The Code also specifies 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 that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Depositor of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered), the Depositor will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
