EXHIBIT A

PLAN OF MERGER

OF

WESTERN RESERVE LIFE ASSURANCE CO. OF OHIO

AN OHIO CORPORATION

INTO

TRANSAMERICA PREMIER LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY

AN IOWA CORPORATION

1. The name of the corporation to be merged is Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio (“WRL”), an Ohio corporation incorporated on May 14, 1979. The name of the corporation into which WRL will merge is Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company (“TPLIC”), an Iowa corporation incorporated on March 5, 1858.

2. WRL has Common Stock outstanding, par value $1.00 per share, all of which are owned by AEGON USA, LLC (“AEGON USA”). There are no shares of any other class of capital stock of WRL outstanding. TPLIC has Class A Common Stock outstanding, par value $750.00 per share and Class B Common Stock outstanding, par value $750.00 per share, all of which are owned by Commonwealth General Corporation (“CGC”). TPLIC, WRL, AEGON USA and CGC are affiliated corporations within the same insurance holding company system.

3. The name of the surviving corporation shall be “Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company”. The Articles of Incorporation of TPLIC shall continue as the Articles of Incorporation of the surviving corporation. The Bylaws of TPLIC shall continue as the Bylaws of the surviving corporation.

4. The officers and board of directors of TPLIC shall continue in office until their successors are duly elected and qualified under the provisions of the Bylaws of TPLIC.

5. TPLIC will be the surviving corporation, governed by the laws of the State of Iowa. TPLIC consents to be sued and served process in the State of Ohio and appoints the Ohio Secretary of State as its agent to accept service of process in any proceeding in the State of Ohio to enforce against TPLIC any obligation of WRL. A copy of such process to be delivered to: General Counsel, Transamerica Premier Life Insurance Company, 4333 Edgewood Road NE, Cedar Rapids, IA 52499.

6. This merger of WRL with and into TPLIC is intended to be a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

    WRL stock shall be deemed cancelled by operation of law. Since CGC owns 100% of TPLIC, and AEGON USA owns 100% of CGC as well as 100% of WRL, AEGON USA is indifferent as to the consideration issued in the merger. Under these circumstances, and to avoid the expense and effort of valuations, AEGON USA agrees to accept one share of common stock of CGC in exchange for its agreement to merge WRL into TPLIC,

7. The merger shall become effective on October 1, 2014, or such later date when the necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained, including the approvals of the Iowa Insurance Division and the Ohio Department of Insurance.
