Overview of the policy
Purpose
The Transamerica B-Share Variable Annuity is a variable annuity Policy. You can use the Policy to accumulate assets for retirement or other long-term financial planning purposes. The amount of money You are able to accumulate in Your Policy depends upon the performance of Your Investment Options. The Policy also offers a death benefit to protect Your designated beneficiaries.
This Policy may be appropriate for people who do not have a long-term investment time horizon and is not appropriate for people who intend to engage in market timing or other frequent (disruptive) trading.
Share Classes
Two different Share Classes are sold under the Policy - B-Share and B-Share with Liquidity Rider. The B-Share features a seven-year surrender charge period and base Separate Account annual expenses of 1.15%. The B-Share with Liquidity Rider features a four-year surrender charge period and base Separate Account annual expense of 1.65% for the first four years and 1.15% thereafter.
Phases of the Policy
The Policy has two phases: (1) an accumulation (or savings) phase and (2) and annuity (or income) phase.
Accumulation Phase: To help You accumulate assets during the accumulation phase, You can invest Your Premium payments and Policy Value in:
●
Underlying fund portfolios available under the Policy, each of which has its own investment strategies and risks; investment adviser(s); expense ratio; and performance history; and
●
The Fixed Account option, which offers a guaranteed interest rate during a selected period.
A list of Portfolio Companies in which You can invest is provided in an Appendix to this Prospectus. See Appendix - Investment Options Available Under the Policy.
Annuity Phase. You can elect to Annuitize Your Policy and turn Your Policy Value into a stream of income payments called annuity payments. When You Annuitize Your Policy, the accumulation phase ends, and You will no longer be able to withdraw money from Your Policy. Any guaranteed benefits You elected will terminate without value.

Primary Features and Options of the Policy
Type of Policy. Transamerica B-Share Variable Annuity Policy is a flexible premium deferred variable annuity Policy. It is a "deferred" annuity because You defer taking annuity payments during the accumulation phase. It is a "flexible premium" annuity because You are generally not required to make any premium payments in addition to the initial minimum premium payment. The Policy is "variable" because its value can go up or down based on the performance of the Investment Options You choose.The Policy is available as a non-qualified or qualified Policy. The tax treatment of Your Policy may impact the benefits, as well as fees and charges under Your Policy.
Accessing Your Money. Before You Annuitize, You can withdraw money from Your Policy at any time. If You take a withdrawal, You may be subject to a negative Excess Interest Adjustment and/or have to pay a surrender charge and/or income taxes, including a tax penalty if You are younger than age 59½.
Tax Treatment. You can transfer money between Investment Options without tax implications, and earnings (if any) on Your investments are generally tax-deferred. You are taxed only upon: (1) making a withdrawal; (2) receiving a payment from us; or (3) payment of a death benefit; (4) or as required under the Internal Revenue Code for certain transactions.
Death Benefits. The Policy includes, at no additional cost, a default death benefit that will pay Your designated beneficiaries at least the Policy Value or as required under the Internal Revenue Code for certain transactions. You can purchase a guaranteed minimum death benefit for an additional fee, which may increase the amount of money payable to Your designated beneficiaries upon Your death.
Optional Living Benefits. For an additional fee, You can purchase a Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit, which is designed to provide a guaranteed level of withdrawals from Your Policy, regardless of investment performance.
Optional Liquidity Rider. For an additional fee, You can reduce the number of years that each premium payment is subject to surrender charges from seven years to four years.
Additional Services. At no additional charge, You may select the following additional services:
●
Dollar-Cost Averaging. This service allows You to automatically transfer amounts between certain Investment Options on a monthly basis.
●
Asset Rebalancing. This service automatically reallocates Your Policy Value among Your Investment Options on a periodic basis to maintain Your standing allocation instructions.
●
Systematic Payout Options. This service allows You to receive regular automatic withdrawals from Your Policy either on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual basis.
●
Telephone and Electronic Transactions. This service allows You to make certain transactions by telephone or other electronic means with the appropriate authorization from You.

own Your existing Policy.

surrendering your policy or making withdrawals: accessing the Money in Your Policy
Accumulation Phase
You can access the money in Your Policy by taking a withdrawal or surrender, or through systematic payouts. Withdrawals will reduce Your Policy Value and can reduce or even terminate certain benefits.

You can take a withdrawal of up to 10% of Your premium payments each Policy Year free of surrender charges. Withdrawing the entire Cash Value of Your Policy (i.e., surrendering Your Policy) will terminate Your Policy and all benefits without value.
There are limitations on Your ability to take withdrawals during the accumulation phase. These limitations are as follows: 
Minimum withdrawal amount
$500
Surrender charges, Excess Interest Adjustment and taxes
There may be surrender charge, Excess Interest Adjustment
and tax implications when You take out money.
Negative impact on benefits and guarantees of Your Policy
A withdrawal may have a negative impact on certain optional
benefits that You may elect. It may significantly reduce the
value or even terminate the benefit.
Internal Revenue Code or Retirement Plans
Depending on the circumstances, the Internal Revenue Code
or Your retirement plan may restrict Your ability to take
withdrawals.

Annuity Payout Phase
During the annuity (income) phase, You will receive annuity payments under the Annuity Payment Option You select, however, You generally may not take any other surrenders, either full or partial.
Requesting a Surrender or Withdrawal
You can request a surrender or withdrawal by submitting a written request on an approved distribution request form (available from our Administrative Office). If we receive a surrender or withdrawal request in good order prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., New York time) on a Business Day, we will price the order on that Business Day. If we receive a surrender or withdrawal request in good order on a non-Business Day or after the close of the New York Stock Exchange on a Business Day, we will price the order on the next Business day.
Surrender and withdrawal payments will generally be mailed within seven days after we receive the request in good order. We may delay payments from the Fixed Account for up to six months.
