Merrill Lynch Retirement Plus The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results; and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The annuity value will fluctuate with market conditions so that when surrendered, it may be worth more or less than total of premium payments. This material gives performance numbers for the Merrill Lynch Retirement Plus. Variable annuities are long-term, tax deferred vehicles that offer investment options through subaccounts and insurance features such as annuitization and death benefit options. Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of each investment company carefully before investing. Both the contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectus contain this and other information about the investment companies. The contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Please contact 800--49 for a prospectus. To obtain performance data current to the most recent quarter-end go to www.transamerica.com. Taxes are due upon distribution of earnings. Distribution of earnings made prior to age 9½ may be subject to a 0% federal tax penalty. Surrender charges may also apply according to the terms of the variable annuity contract. The fees and charges reflected in the performance figures shown may not be specific to your annuity contract and, therefore, not reflect the returns your annuity earned. Some portfolios may not be available to existing annuity owners. Generally, each portfolio has broad risks that apply to all portfolios, such as market risk, as well as specific risks of investing in particular types of portfolios. Investing in certain types of portfolios, such as foreign (non-u.s.) securities or small or mid-cap funds, subjects your annuity to greater risk and volatility than the general market. The risks of a fund may be increased by the use of derivatives, such as futures, options and swaps. Please see the contract prospectus and underlying fund prospectus for the specific risks associated with each subaccount. Some portfolios may not be available to existing annuity owners. Returns reflect performance of the portfolio and subaccounts assuming a single premium payment at inception (date next to name), are net of all asset-based fees, including the daily mortality and expense risk fee and administrative charge equal to.% annually (collectively M&E&A), 2b- fees (if any) and all other actual portfolio expenses. Standardized returns in "With Surrender Charge & Contract Charge Deducted" column include a pro rata deduction of the $40 annual contract charge and any surrender charge that would apply if you terminated the contract at the end of each period indicated. Merrill Lynch Retirement Plus surrender charge is a percentage of amount withdrawn (in excess of any surrender charge free amount) and declines as follows: 7-6--4--2--0%. Non-standardized returns in "Without Surrender Charge & Contract Charge Deducted" column do not include these charges Returns do not include charges for other optional riders, or any taxes that may apply at distribution. IF THEY HAD, PERFORMANCE WOULD BE LOWER. Returns prior to the subaccount inception date are hypothetical and reflect performance as if the annuity was available. The figures in the tables may reflect waiver of advisory fees and reimbursement of other expenses. IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH WAIVERS, THE PERFORMANCE WOULD HAVE BEEN LOWER. Investment option names may vary from their corresponding portfolio names. Please see the contract prospectus for portfolio names. This material was prepared for general distribution.
