FEES, EXPENSES, AND ADJUSTMENTS |
Location in Prospectus | |||
| Are There Charges or Adjustments for Early Withdrawals? |
Yes. Surrender Charges. If you Surrender or withdraw money from the Policy during the first six years after your purchase the Policy or make an additional premium payment, you may be assessed a surrender charge of up to 8% (as a percentage of premium payments Surrendered or withdrawn). For example, if you were to make an early withdrawal, you could pay a surrender charge of up to $8,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there are negative Interim Value adjustments, taxes, or tax penalties. Interim Value Adjustments. If all or a portion of your Policy Value is removed from an Index Account Option before the end of its Crediting Period, an Interim Value adjustment will apply, which may be negative. In extreme circumstances, it is possible to lose up to 100% of your investment in an Index Account Option due to the application of a negative Interim Value adjustment (i.e., a complete loss of your principal and any prior earnings). For example, if you allocated $100,000 to an Index Account Option with 2-year Crediting Period and make a withdrawal before the 2 years have ended, you could lose up to $100,000 due to a negative Interim Value adjustment. This loss will be greater if you also have to pay surrender charges, taxes, or tax penalties. An Interim Value adjustment will apply if any of the following transactions occur prior to the end of a Crediting Period for an Index Account Option: (i) a fee or charge is deducted; (ii) you take a Surrender or any withdrawal; (iii) the Policy is annuitized; (iv) the death benefit is calculated; or (v) you exercise the Performance Lock feature. |

| Are There Transaction Charges? |
Yes. In addition to surrender charges and Interim Value adjustments, you may also be assessed a fee for requesting special services (e.g., overnight delivery). |
FEE TABLE EXPENSES AND ADJUSTMENTS – SPECIAL SERVICE FEES | ||
| Are There Ongoing Fees and Expenses? |
Yes. There is an implicit ongoing fee on the Index Account Options to the extent that your participation in Index gains is limited by either a Cap Rate, Participation Rate, or an Edge Rate or Edge+ Rate. This means that your returns may be lower than the Index’s returns. In exchange for accepting a limit on Index gains, you will receive some protection from Index losses. This implicit ongoing fee is not reflected in the tables below. The table below describes the fees and expenses that you may pay each year, depending on the Allocation Accounts and optional benefits you choose. Please refer to your Policy specification page for information about the specific fees you will pay each year based on the options you have elected. |

1 Reflects the base GLWB (no optional step-up benefit). Also reflects the current annual service charge ($0 or 0%). 2 Will reflect the annualized fee percentage if you invest in an Index Account Option with a Growth Opportunity Type designated as “Credit Advantage.” The annualized fee is 1.25% (as a percentage of Policy Value allocated to that Index Account Option on the first day of either (i) a new Crediting Period or (ii) the remaining Crediting Period after exercise of Early-Re-Entry). The Credit Advantage Fee is assessed at the end of the Crediting Period after the Index Credit. However, a portion of the Credit Advantage Fee will be due if taking a partial withdrawal of the Index Account Value before the end of the Crediting Period. Furthermore, if taking a full withdrawal of the Index Account Value before the end of the Crediting Period or exercising Performance Lock, the entire Credit Advantage Fee becomes due. (For example, if you select a 6-year Crediting Period, the total Credit Advantage Fee for that Crediting Period would be 7.50% (i.e., 1.25% x 6). If you were to take a full withdrawal of the Index Account Option Value or exercise Performance Lock after 1 year, you would still pay the full 7.50%.) 3 Will reflect a 2.00% service charge. The maximum annual service charge is the lesser of $50 or 2.00% (as a percentage of your Policy Value as of your Policy Anniversary, before the deduction of any fees or charges). 4 The fee for the optional GMDB rider (as a percentage of the GMDB Benefit Base), applicable to Issue Ages 71-80. There is no charge for the GMDB rider for Issue Ages 0-70. 5 Will reflect the Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Rider Fee Percentage that we are currently charging for the GLWB’s optional step-up benefit (as a percentage of the Withdrawal Base or Policy Value, whichever is greater). Because your Policy is customizable, the choices you make affect how much you will pay. To help you understand the cost of owning your Policy, the following table shows the lowest and highest cost you could pay each year based on current charges. This estimate assumes that you do not take withdrawals from the Policy, which could add surrender charges and negative Interim Value adjustments that substantially increase costs. |

| RISKS | Location in Prospectus |
| Is There a Risk of Loss From Poor Performance? |
Yes. • You can lose money by investing in this Policy, including the loss of principal. • Each available Index Account Option has a Buffer downside feature that provides only limited protection against any negative Index rate of return that may be charged to your investment at the end of a Crediting Period. • At the end of a Crediting Period, the maximum amount of loss that you could experience from negative Index performance, after taking into account the current limits on Index loss provided under the Policy, is 90% for an Index Account Option with a 10% Buffer Rate, 85% for an Index Account Option with a 15% Buffer Rate, or 80% for an Index Account Option with a 20% Buffer Rate. • We will always offer an Index Account Option with a 10% Buffer Rate. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY |
| Is this a Short-Term Investment? |
No. • This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for an investor who needs ready access to cash. • The Policy’s tax deferral and long-term income features are generally more beneficial to investors with a long time horizon. • Amounts withdrawn from the Policy may result in surrender charges, taxes, and tax penalties. Withdrawals could result in significant reductions to Policy Value, the GLWB, the death benefit, and other Policy benefits. In addition, withdrawing or otherwise removing amounts from an Index Account Option before the end of its Crediting Period may result in a negative Interim Value adjustment and loss of positive Index performance. • Partial withdrawals taken, and fees and charges deducted, from an Index Account Option before the end of its Crediting Period will result in a proportionate reduction to your Index Base. The reduction to your Index Base may be greater than the amount withdrawn or the fee or charge deducted. Reductions to your Index Base will result in lower Interim Values for the remainder of the Crediting Period and less Index Credit (if any) at the end of the Crediting Period. The negative impact to your Policy Value and Policy benefits may be significant. • At the end of a Crediting Period, Policy Value in the matured Allocation Account will be reinvested, transferred, withdrawn, or annuitized per your instructions. In the absence of such instructions, Policy Value in the matured Allocation Account will be automatically reinvested in the same Allocation Account for another Crediting Period (with the Cap Rate, Participation Rate, Edge Rate and Edge+ Rate, or annual interest rate applicable to a new Crediting Period). If the matured Allocation Account is no longer available for investment, Policy Value in the matured Allocation Account will be automatically transferred to the Fixed Account Option with a 1-year Crediting Period by default. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY |
| What are the Risks Associated with the Investment Options? |
• An investment in this Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Allocation Accounts available under the Policy. • Each Allocation Account, including each Index Account Option and the Fixed Account Option, has its own unique risks. You should review the available Allocation Accounts before making an investment decision. • The Cap Rate, Participation Rate, or Edge Rate and Edge+ Rate for an Index Account Option, as applicable, may limit positive Index returns (e.g., limited upside). This limit may result in you earning less than the Index’s return. For example: |
PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY |
|
o If the Index Change is 12% and the Cap Rate is 4%, we will apply an Index Credit equal to +4% at the end of the Crediting Period. o If the Index Change is 12% and the Participation Rate is 50%, we will apply an Index Credit equal to +6% (i.e., 12% x 50% = 6%) at the end of the Crediting Period. o If the Index Change is 12% and the Edge+ Rate is 5%, we will apply an Index Credit equal to +5% at the end of the Crediting Period. • While the Edge and Edge+ Growth Opportunity Type may provide for a positive Index Credit in the event of negative Index performance, there is no guarantee of investment gain. Like any other Index Account Option, a negative Index Change in excess of the Buffer Rate will result in loss, which could be significant. • The Buffer Rate for an Index Account Option will limit negative Index returns (e.g., limited protection in the case of market decline). For example, if the Index Change is -25% and the Buffer Rate is 10%, we will apply an Index Credit equal to -15% (the amount of negative Index Change that exceeds the Buffer Rate) at the end of the Crediting Period, meaning your investment will decrease in value by 15%. You bear all loss that exceeds the Buffer. • Each “Best Entry” Enhanced Index Account Option has an Initial Index Value reset feature that may help to increase Index gains or decrease Index losses, but it is not guaranteed to do so. Furthermore, these Index Account Options are subject to the same risks associated with Cap (i.e., limited upside) and Buffer (i.e., limited protection). • For each Index, Index performance is on a “price return” basis, not a “total return” basis, and therefore does not reflect dividends paid on the securities composing the Index. Certain Indexes also deduct fees and costs that will reduce Index performance. These factors will reduce the Index return and cause the Index to underperform a direct investment in the securities composing the Index or a direct investment in an ETF serving as an Index. |
| What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company? | An investment in the Policy is subject to risks related to the Company. Any obligations (including under the Fixed Account and the Index Accounts), guarantees, or benefits under the Policy are subject to our claims-paying ability. If we experience financial distress, we may not be able to meet our obligations to you. More information about Transamerica Life Insurance Company, including our financial strength ratings, is available by visiting transamerica.com or by calling toll-free (800) 525-6205. | PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE POLICY |
| RESTRICTIONS | Location in Prospectus | |
| Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options? |
Yes. There may be restrictions that limit the Allocation Accounts you may choose, and there are limitations on the transfer of Policy Value among Allocation Accounts. • Transfers from an Allocation Account are permitted only at the end of the Allocation Account’s Crediting Period (or on the next Allocation Anniversary if you exercised Performance Lock but not Early Re-Entry). • The Fixed Account Option may not always be available for investment. |
PREMIUM PAYMENTS FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION INDEX ACCOUNT OPTIONS SELECTING ALLOCATION ACCOUNTS FOR INVESTMENT |
|
• We reserve the right to add or remove Index Account Options. We guarantee that the following Index Account Option will always be available for investment (subject to our right of Index substitution): S&P 500® Index, 1-Year Crediting Period, Buffer (Buffer Rate: 10%), Cap (Cap Rate: no lower than 2.00% for new Crediting Periods), no Credit Advantage Fee. This may be the only Index Account Option that we offer in the future. • Each Index Account Option’s limit on Index losses (i.e., Buffer Rate) will not change for so long as that Index Account Option remains available. However, because we reserve the right to add and remove Index Account Options, the limits on Index loss offered under the Policy may change from one Crediting Period to the next. • We may change the features of an Index Account Option from one Crediting Period to the next, including the Index and the current limit on Index gain (i.e., the Cap Rate, Participation Rate, or Edge Rate and Edge+ Rate, subject to minimum guarantees). • We reserve the right to substitute the Index for an Index Account Option during its Crediting Period. • We reserve the right to limit or refuse additional premium payments. • The availability of Allocation Accounts may vary depending on your state or the financial intermediary through which the Policy is sold. |
APPENDIX A: INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY APPENDIX D: STATE VARIATIONS APPENDIX G: FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY VARIATIONS |
| Are There any Restrictions on Policy Benefits? |
Yes. There are restrictions and limitations relating to the benefits offered under the Policy (e.g., GLWB, death benefits, Performance Lock). • Except as otherwise provided, Policy benefits may not be modified or terminated by the Company. • For the GLWB: o You cannot terminate the GLWB without Surrendering or annuitizing the Policy. o Withdrawals under the GLWB (including withdrawals of the Rider Withdrawal Amount) may be subject to surrender charges, negative Interim Value adjustments, taxes and tax penalties, as well as other negative consequences (e.g., reductions to the death benefit and proportionate reductions to the Index Bases for your Index Account Options). o Excess Withdrawals may affect the availability of the GLWB by reducing the guarantee by an amount greater than the value withdrawn, and could terminate the benefit and the Policy. • For Performance Lock+: o Exercising Performance Lock for an Index Account Option will result in an Interim Value adjustment, which may be negative and result in significant loss. o Exercising Early Re-Entry will re-expose your investment to the possibility of Index losses, negative Interim Value adjustments, and reductions to your Index Base. o Early Re-Entry is not available for all Index Account Options. • Withdrawals may significantly reduce the death benefit (as well as the optional Additional Death Benefit, if elected). If your Policy has the GMDB rider, any withdrawal will reduce the guaranteed minimum death benefit. Withdrawals may result in reductions to the benefit that are greater than the amount withdrawn. • If you own the GMDB rider, a withdrawal will reduce the death benefit. The reduction could be greater than the amount withdrawn. • The availability of Policy benefits may vary depending on your state or the financial intermediary through which the Policy is sold. |

| TAXES | Location in Prospectus | |
| What are the Policy’s Tax Implications? |
• You should consult with a tax professional to determine the tax implications of an investment in and payments received under the Policy. • If you purchase the Policy as an individual retirement account (IRA) or through a tax qualified plan, you do not get any additional tax benefit. • You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of your Policy until they are withdrawn. Earnings on your Policy are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when withdrawn, and you may have to pay a penalty if you take a withdrawal before age 59½. |
TAX INFORMATION |
| CONFLICTS OF INTEREST | Location in Prospectus | |
| How are Investment Professionals Compensated? | Your investment professional may receive compensation for selling this Policy to you, in the form of commissions, additional cash benefits (e.g., bonuses), and non-cash compensation. Our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, LLC, is the principal underwriter and may share the revenue we earn on this Policy with your investment professional’s firm. In addition, we may pay all or a portion of the cost of affiliates’ operating and other expenses. This conflict of interest may influence your investment professional to recommend this Policy over another investment for which the investment professional is not compensated or for which the professional is compensated less. | DISTRIBUTION |
| Should I Exchange My Policy? | If you already own an insurance contract, some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to offer you a new contract in place of the one you own. You should only exchange a contract you already own if you determine, after comparing the features, fees, and risks of both contracts, and any fees or penalties to terminate the existing contract, that it is better for you to purchase the new contract rather than continue to own your existing contract. | DISTRIBUTION |
APPENDIX A
INVESTMENT OPTIONS AVAILABLE UNDER THE POLICY
INDEX ACCOUNT OPTIONS
The following is a list of Index Account Options currently available under the Policy. We may change the features of the Index Account Options listed below (including the Index and the current limits on Index gains), offer new Index Account Options, and terminate existing Index Account Options. We will provide you with Written Notice before making any changes other than changes to current limits on Index gains. Information about current limits on Index gains is available at transamerica.com/individual/annuities/registered-index-linked-annuities.
Note: If amounts are removed from an Index Account Option before the end of its Crediting Period, we will apply an Interim Value adjustment. This may result in a significant reduction in your Policy value that could exceed any protection from Index loss that would be in place if you waited until the end of the Crediting Period.
See INDEX ACCOUNT OPTIONS in the prospectus for a description of the Index Account Options’ features. See EXPENSES AND ADJUSTMENTS – INTERIM VALUE ADJUSTMENTS in the prospectus for more information about Interim Value Adjustments.
The availability of Index Account Options may vary depending on the financial intermediary through which the Policy is sold. See APPENDIX G – FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY VARIATIONS in the prospectus.

| • | For Policies with applications signed prior to May 1, 2024, the Buffer Rate will be at least 10%. |
| • | For Policies with applications signed on or after May 1, 2024, there is no pre-specified minimum Buffer Rate. While we will not offer any Index Account Options that provide for no downside protection, we may offer Index Account Options that provide only minimal limits on Index losses, which would mean risk of loss of nearly the entire amount invested. |
In the future, if we offer a new Index Account Option and:
| • | the Growth Opportunity Type is Cap, the guaranteed minimum Cap Rate for a new Crediting Period will be no lower than 2%. |
| • | the Growth Opportunity Type is Participation, the guaranteed minimum Participation Rate for a new Crediting Period will be no lower than 10%. |
| • | the Growth Opportunity Type is Edge and Edge+, the guaranteed minimum Edge Rate and Edge+ Rate for a new Crediting Period will be no lower than 2%. |
In each case, for the remaining Crediting Period upon exercise of Early Re-Entry (a feature associated with Performance Lock+), if available, the reset Cap Rate, Participation Rate, or Edge Rate and Edge+ Rate will be no less than 0.10%.
We reserve the right to offer new Index Account Options with different Downside Protection Types or Growth Opportunity Types in the future.
FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION
The following is the Fixed Account Option currently available under the Policy. We may change the features of the Fixed Account Option listed below, offer new Fixed Account Options, and terminate existing Fixed Account Options. We will provide you with Written Notice before doing so. See FIXED ACCOUNT OPTION in the prospectus for a description of the Fixed Account Option’s features. If amounts are withdrawn from the Fixed Account Option before the end of the Surrender Charge period in excess of the surrender charge-free amount, we will apply a Surrender Charge, this will result in a reduction in your Policy value which may be significant.

State variations may apply to your guaranteed minimum effective annual interest rate. See APPENDIX D – STATE VARIATIONS in the prospectus.
The availability of the Fixed Account Option may vary depending on the financial intermediary through which the Policy is sold. See APPENDIX G – FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARY VARIATIONS in the prospectus.
