TRANSAMERICA SERIES TRUST
Transamerica JPMorgan Enhanced Index VP
1801 California Street, Suite 5200
Denver, CO 80202
August [ ], 2026
Dear Holder:
A special meeting of holders (the “Holders”) investing in Transamerica JPMorgan Enhanced Index VP (the “Portfolio”), a series of Transamerica Series Trust (the “Trust”), including those holders investing through a variable life insurance policy or variable annuity contract, will be held at the offices of Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, CO 80202, on October 7, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. (Mountain Time) (the “Special Meeting”).
At the Special Meeting, you are being asked to vote on the following proposals:
To approve the change of the Portfolio from a diversified company to a non-diversified company. Holders of the Portfolio are being asked to approve changing the Portfolio’s classification from a “diversified company” to a “non-diversified company” as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, to permit the Portfolio to invest a larger portion of its assets in a smaller number of issuers.
To approve the modification of the Portfolio’s “manager of managers” structure. Holders of the Portfolio are being asked to approve the modification of the Portfolio’s manager of managers structure to permit TAM, the Portfolio’s investment manager, to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with both unaffiliated and affiliated sub-advisers in the future without obtaining investor approval, subject to prior approval by the Portfolio’s Board of Trustees.
We are seeking your approval of the proposals through the enclosed proxy statement, which we invite you to review closely.
Importantly, after careful consideration, the Board of Trustees of the Portfolio has considered the proposals and has determined they are in the best interest of the Portfolio, and unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposals. However, before you vote, please read the full text of the proxy statement for an explanation of the proposals with respect to the Portfolio.
Holders of record of the Portfolio as of the close of business on June 17, 2026 are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting and regardless of the size of the interest you hold, your vote is important to us. Please vote today.
Voting is quick and easy. You may vote by telephone, via the internet or by simply completing and signing the enclosed proxy card (your ballot) and mailing it in the accompanying postage-paid return envelope.
If you have any questions, please call the Trust at 1-800-851-9777.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR HOLDERS
Please read the full text of the enclosed proxy statement.
Below is a brief overview of the proposals to be voted on. Your vote is important.
| Q. | Why am I receiving this proxy statement? |
| A. | As a holder (a “Holder”) who invests in Transamerica JPMorgan Enhanced Index VP (the “Portfolio”), a series of Transamerica Series Trust (the “Trust”), including those holders investing through a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy, you are being asked to vote “FOR” the following proposals. Each proposal has been approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board” or “Board Members”). |
The special meeting of the Portfolio (“Special Meeting”) will be held at the offices of Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, CO 80202, on October 7, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. (Mountain Time).
The Portfolio is sold to separate accounts of Transamerica Life Insurance Company and Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (collectively, the “Insurance Companies”) to fund benefits under variable life policies or variable annuity contracts issued by the Insurance Companies. The Insurance Companies each offer Holders the opportunity to invest in the Portfolio through their respective products. The Portfolio is also offered as an investment option for certain asset allocation series of the Trust.
Holders of the Portfolio are being asked to approve: (i) the change in classification of the Portfolio from a diversified company to a non-diversified company, and (ii) to approve the modification of the manager of managers structure, to permit TAM, the Portfolio’s investment manager, to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with both unaffiliated and affiliated sub-advisers in the future without obtaining investor approval, subject to prior approval by the Portfolio’s Board.
The implementation of a proposal is not contingent upon the approval of the other proposal.
| Q. | Why am I being asked to approve Proposal I? |
| A. | The Portfolio is currently classified as a diversified company. As a result, the Portfolio is limited in its ownership of securities of single issuers. In contrast to the Portfolio, the Portfolio’s benchmark index, the S&P 500® Index (“Index”), is not limited by the diversification requirement of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”). Over the past several years, certain stocks of technology-related issuers contained in the Index have experienced significant increases in their market capitalizations. As a result, the Index has become much more concentrated at the individual stock level. This level of index concentration coupled with the limitations placed on a diversified company can, at times, constrain a fund’s ability to fully achieve target exposures to individual securities and limit its ability to invest above 5% in certain issuers, and force a fund to be underweight to at least some of the top holdings in its benchmark, even if the fund’s investment management team finds them to be attractive investment opportunities. This limitation can ultimately inhibit the opportunity for a fund to implement its principal investment strategy and can hinder its ability to outperform its benchmark or non-diversified peer funds with otherwise similar investment strategies, on a risk-return basis. Holder approval of Proposal I would allow the Portfolio to operate as a non-diversified company, which would provide the Portfolio’s investment management team with additional investment flexibility and the potential to enhance the Portfolio’s performance. |
| Q. | What is the difference between diversified companies and non-diversified companies? |
| A. | Under the 1940 Act, a “diversified company” must have at least 75% of the value of its total assets represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, securities of other investment companies, and other securities limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater than 5% of the fund’s total assets and not more than 10% of any class of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. In effect, the aggregate of single-issuer positions of 5% or more cannot exceed 25% of a fund’s assets. In contrast, the 1940 Act defines a “non-diversified company” as a fund other than a diversified company and places no single-issuer limits on the fund due to that classification. |
| Q. | How would approval of Proposal I impact the day-to-day management of the Portfolio? |
| A. | While approval of Proposal I would provide the Portfolio’s investment management team with greater long-term flexibility in executing its investment strategy by allowing increased exposures to certain holdings, and may allow for the potential for greater risk, it is not otherwise expected to affect the way the Portfolio is currently managed. The investment objective and investment strategies for the Portfolio will not change due to approval of Proposal I, and the investment management team currently intends to manage the Portfolio using the substantially similar risk and volatility guidelines it has used managing the Portfolio while it has been classified as diversified. |
I
| Q. | Why am I being asked to approve Proposal II? |
| A. | TAM currently acts as a manager of managers for the Portfolio pursuant to an exemptive order from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) (Release IC-23379 dated August 5, 1998) (the “Manager of Managers Order”). TAM has responsibility, subject to oversight by the Portfolio’s Board, to, among other matters, oversee and monitor sub-advisers, recommend selection of sub-advisers and recommend changes to sub-advisers where it believes appropriate or advisable. The Manager of Managers Order permits TAM, subject to certain conditions including the approval of the Board, but without the approval of the Portfolio’s Holders, to: (1) employ a new unaffiliated sub-adviser for the Portfolio pursuant to the terms of a new investment sub-advisory agreement, either as a replacement for an existing sub-adviser or as an additional sub-adviser; (2) materially change the terms of any sub-advisory agreement; and (3) continue the employment of an existing sub-adviser on sub-advisory contract terms where a contract has been assigned because of a change of control of the sub-adviser. More recent SEC exemptive and no-action relief now permit the Manager of Managers Order to be relied upon with respect to sub-advisory agreements with both unaffiliated and affiliated sub-advisers without obtaining investor approval, provided that the Portfolio obtains investor approval to operate under a modified manager of managers structure with respect to affiliated sub-advisers and complies with certain modified conditions. |
Holders are being asked to approve Proposal II, which would permit TAM to rely on the modified manager of managers relief to permit TAM, subject to the approval of the Portfolio’s Board, but without the need for Holder approval, to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with both unaffiliated and affiliated sub-advisers in reliance on the SEC no-action relief requiring compliance with the terms of an exemptive order obtained by Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc., et al., Investment Company Release Nos. 33464 (May 2, 2019) (notice) and 33494 (May 29, 2019) (order). The Board believes that allowing TAM to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with both unaffiliated and affiliated sub-advisers without incurring the expenses or delays associated with obtaining prior Holder approval is in the best interests of the Portfolio and its Holders and will allow the Portfolio to operate more efficiently.
| Q. | Why am I being asked to vote on these proposals? |
| A. | You are being asked to vote as a Holder of the Portfolio. The enclosed proxy statement and proxy card identify the proposals you are being asked to vote. Your Portfolio’s Board has approved the proposals, believes each proposal is in the Holders’ best interests and recommends you vote “FOR” the proposals for the Portfolio. |
| Q. | Will my vote make a difference? |
| A. | Your vote is very important and can make a difference in the governance of the Portfolio, no matter the size of the interests you hold. Your vote can help ensure that the proposals recommended by the Portfolio’s Board can be implemented. We encourage all Holders to participate in the governance of the Portfolio, which participation could include voting against a proposal recommended by the Board. |
| Q. | Who is paying for the preparation, printing and mailing of the proxy statement and solicitation of proxies? |
| A. | The cost of preparing, printing and mailing the proxy statement and soliciting proxies will be borne by the Portfolio. The costs are estimated to be approximately $91,275 to $109,833 and include preparation of this Proxy Statement, printing and distributing the proxy materials, the costs of soliciting and tabulating voting instructions (including the fees and expenses of approximately $$29,833.00, of EQ Fund Solutions LLC (“EQ Fund Solutions”), the proxy solicitor), the cost of any necessary filings with the SEC, legal fees, accounting fees, and expenses of holding shareholder meetings. |
| Q. | Who do I call if I have questions? |
| A. | If you need more information, or have any questions about the proposals or voting, please call EQ Fund Solutions, the Portfolio’s proxy solicitor, at 1-877-864-5059. |
| Q. | How do I vote my interests? |
| A. | You can provide voting instructions by telephone by calling the toll-free number on the enclosed proxy card, or by computer by going to the internet address provided on the proxy card and following the instructions, using your proxy card as a guide. Alternatively, you can vote your shares or interests by signing and dating the enclosed proxy card and mailing it in the enclosed postage-paid envelope. You can also attend the Special Meeting and vote in person. However, even if you intend to do so, we encourage you to provide voting instructions by one of the methods described above. |

TRANSAMERICA SERIES TRUST
Transamerica JPMorgan Enhanced Index VP
1801 California Street, Suite 5200
Denver, CO 80202
This proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Trustees (the “Board” and each member, a “Board Member”) of Transamerica JPMorgan Enhanced Index VP (the “Portfolio”), a series of Transamerica Series Trust (“Trust”). The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is organized as a Delaware statutory trust. The proxy is being solicited for use at a special meeting of holders (the “Holders”) investing in the Portfolio to be held at the offices of Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM”), 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, CO 80202, on October 7, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. (Mountain Time) (the “Special Meeting”) and at any and all adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. The Special Meeting for the Portfolio is being held for the purpose set forth in the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Holders. This Proxy Statement is being sent to Holders of the Portfolio on or about August 17, 2026.
The Portfolio is offered to variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts established by insurance companies to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies and to certain asset allocation portfolios. The only shareholders of the Portfolio are the insurance company separate accounts and the asset allocation portfolios. As a Holder invested in the Portfolio through an insurance company separate account, you are being asked to give instructions to your insurance company as to how to vote on your behalf. Holders are not shareholders of the Portfolio, but for ease of reference, shareholders and Holders are sometimes collectively referred to in this Proxy Statement as “Holders” or “shareholders,” and the interests that they hold in insurance company separate accounts that in turn invest in the Portfolio are sometimes referred to as “interests” or “shares.”
In certain cases, for ease of comprehension, the term “Portfolio” is used in this Proxy Statement where it may be more precise to refer to the Trust of which the Portfolio is a series.
You are being asked to vote at the Special Meeting of the Portfolio as of the close of business on June 17, 2026 (the “Record Date”). Each Holder of record of the Portfolio at the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each dollar, and a fractional vote for each fraction of a dollar, of net asset value of the Portfolio represented by the Holder’s interests in the Portfolio. The net assets and total number of shares of the Portfolio outstanding and the net asset value per share of the Portfolio at the close of business on the Record Date were as follows:
|
Class |
Net Assets ($) | Total Shares Outstanding | Net Asset Value Per Share | |||
|
Initial |
$2,504,310,611 | 80,079,255 | $31.27 | |||
|
Service |
$180,025,530 | 5,813,639 | $30.97 |
Please sign, date and return the proxy card, or if you prefer to provide voting instructions by telephone or over the internet, please vote on the proposals. If you vote by telephone or over the internet, you will be asked to enter a unique code that has been assigned to you, which is printed on your proxy card. This code is designed to confirm your identity, provide access to the voting sites and confirm that your voting instructions are properly recorded.
All properly executed proxies received prior to the Portfolio’s Special Meeting will be voted at the Special Meeting. On the matters coming before the Special Meeting as to which a Holder has specified a choice on that Holder’s proxy, the Holder’s shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy is properly executed and returned and no choice is specified with respect to a proposal, the shares will be voted “FOR” the proposals. The duly appointed proxies may, in their discretion, vote upon such other matters as may properly come before the Special Meeting.
Holders who execute proxies or provide voting instructions by telephone, mail, or the internet may revoke them at any time before a vote is taken on the proposal at the Special Meeting by filing with the Portfolio a written notice of revocation (addressed to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Portfolio at the address above), by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending and voting at the Special Meeting, in all cases prior to the exercise of the authority granted in the proxy card. Merely attending the Special Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously executed proxy. If you hold your shares through a bank or other intermediary or if you are the holder of a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (as discussed below), please consult your bank or intermediary or your participating insurance company regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided.

Quorum, Vote Required and Manner of Voting Proxies
Quorum
A quorum of Holders of the Portfolio is required to take action at the Portfolio’s Special Meeting. For the purposes of taking action on Proposal I and Proposal II, Holders entitled to vote and present at the Special Meeting or by proxy representing at least thirty percent (30%) of the voting power of the Portfolio shall constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. Votes cast at the Special Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for the Special Meeting. The inspectors of election will determine whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and broker non-votes as present for purposes of determining a quorum.
“Broker non-votes” are, with respect to a proposal, shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power and (ii) the broker or nominee has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person who is entitled to instruct how the shares will be voted, but for which a broker or nominee returns the proxy card and/or voting instruction card. A broker-dealer that is a member of the New York Stock Exchange and that has not received instructions from a customer or client prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions may not vote such customer’s or client’s shares with respect to non-routine proposals, including the proposals. As the only shareholders of the Portfolio are the insurance company separate accounts and Asset Allocation Portfolios (as defined below), broker non-votes are not expected with respect to the proposals.
In the absence of a quorum, the Special Meeting may be adjourned by the motion of the person presiding at the Special Meeting. If a quorum is present but sufficient votes to approve a proposal are not received, the Special Meeting may be adjourned by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the Special Meeting or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. The persons named as proxies may, at their discretion, vote those proxies in favor of an adjournment of the Special Meeting, including an adjournment of the Special Meeting to permit further solicitation of proxies with respect to any of the proposals if they determine that adjournment and further solicitation are reasonable and in the best interests of Holders. A vote may be taken on any proposal prior to any such adjournment if sufficient votes have been received.
Vote Required
The approval of each Proposal requires the vote of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Portfolio within the meaning of the 1940 Act, which is defined as the affirmative vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Portfolio that are present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding securities of the Portfolio. Both classes of shares of the Portfolio vote together for the purposes of Proposal I and Proposal II. The following table shows how Portfolio shares will be treated for the purposes of quorum and voting requirements:
| Shares |
Quorum | Voting | ||
| In General |
All shares “present” at the meeting in person or by proxy are counted toward a quorum. |
Shares “present” at the meeting in person will be voted at the meeting. Shares present by proxy will be voted in accordance with instructions. | ||
| Signed Proxy with No-Voting Instruction |
Considered “present” at the meeting for purposes of quorum. |
Voted “for” the proposal. | ||
| Vote to Abstain |
Considered “present” at the meeting for purposes of quorum. |
Abstentions and broker non-votes do not count as a vote “for” a proposal and have the same effect as a vote “against” a proposal. | ||
Manner of Voting
Interests of the Portfolio are not offered directly to the public but are sold only to (1) insurance companies and their separate accounts as the underlying investment medium for Holders as owners of variable annuity contracts and variable life policies (collectively, the “Policies”), and (2) certain asset allocation portfolios that are series of the Trust (the “Asset Allocation Portfolios”). As such, Transamerica Life Insurance Company (“TLIC”) and Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company (“TFLIC,” and together with TLIC, the “Insurance Companies”) and the Asset Allocation Portfolios are the only shareholders of the investment portfolios offered by the Trust. The Insurance Companies utilize the Portfolio as part of their risk management investment strategy. The Portfolio is not available as a direct investment option that may be selected by Holders of the Policies.
2
The Insurance Companies will vote shares held by these separate accounts in a manner consistent with voting instructions timely received from the Holders of the Policies used to fund the accounts.
The Insurance Companies will use proportional voting to vote shares held by separate accounts for which no timely instructions are received from the Holders of the Policies. The Insurance Companies do not require that a minimum number of owners of the Policies submit voting instructions before the Insurance Companies will vote the shares of the Portfolio held by their separate accounts at the Special Meeting. As a result, a small number of Holders of the Policies could determine how the Insurance Companies vote, if other Holders fail to vote. In addition, TAM, the Insurance Companies and their affiliates will use proportional voting to vote any shares held by TAM, the Insurance Companies or their affiliates for their own accounts.
A signed proxy card or other authorization by a Holder that does not specify how the Holder’s interest should be voted on a proposal will be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal(s).
Proxy voting authority with respect to the Portfolio’s shares held by the applicable Asset Allocation Portfolios is retained by TAM. Consistent with TAM’s Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, TAM will vote the shares of the Portfolio held by the relevant Asset Allocation Portfolios in accordance with the recommendation from the Board of those Asset Allocation Portfolios (which is the same Board as the Board of the Portfolio). The Board of Trustees has recommended that shares of the Portfolio held by those Asset Allocation Portfolios be voted in favor of Proposal I and Proposal II. Therefore, in accordance with this recommendation, shares of the Portfolio held by the relevant Asset Allocation Portfolios will be voted in favor of Proposal I and Proposal II. As of the Record Date, the Portfolio had net assets, with amounts of those net assets attributable to the relevant Asset Allocation Portfolios, collectively, as shown below. The applicable Asset Allocation Portfolios held approximately 76.62% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Portfolio as of the Record Date.

If you need more information or have any questions about the proposals or voting, please call the Portfolio’s proxy solicitor, EQ Fund Solution at 1-877-864-5059.
Each Holder signing and returning a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is exercised:
| | By filing a written notice of revocation with the Secretary of the Trust; |
| | By returning a duly executed proxy bearing a later date; |
| | By voting by telephone or over the internet at a later date; or |
| | By attending the Special Meeting and voting at the meeting and giving oral notice of revocation to the chairman of the meeting. |
However, attendance at the Special Meeting, by itself, will not revoke a previously executed and returned proxy.
If a Holder holds Portfolio shares through a bank or other intermediary, the bank or intermediary should be consulted regarding the Holder’s ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided.
BACKGROUND
TAM, a Florida corporation located at 1801 California Street, Suite 5200, Denver, CO 80202, serves as investment manager for the Portfolio. The Trust has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (“Management Agreement”), on behalf of the Portfolio, with TAM. TAM provides continuous and regular investment management services to the Portfolio. TAM supervises the Portfolio’s investments, conducts its investment program and provides supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Portfolio. The Board last approved the Portfolio’s Management Agreement on June 10, 2026.
TAM is directly owned by TLIC (77%) and AUSA Holding, LLC (“AUSA”) (23%), both of which are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Aegon Ltd. TLIC is owned by Commonwealth General Corporation (“Commonwealth”). Commonwealth and AUSA are wholly owned by Transamerica Corporation (DE). Transamerica Corporation (DE) is wholly owned by Aegon International B.V., which is wholly owned by Aegon Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company with liability limited by shares (formerly, Aegon N.V., a Netherlands corporation) and a publicly traded international insurance group.
For the Portfolio, TAM currently acts as a “manager of managers” and hires investment sub-advisers to furnish investment advice and recommendations and has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with the Portfolio’s sub-adviser. In acting as a manager of managers, TAM provides investment management services that include, without limitation, selection, proactive oversight and monitoring of sub-advisers, daily monitoring of the sub-advisers’ buying and selling of securities for the Portfolio and regular review
3
and evaluation of sub-adviser performance and adherence to investment style and process. TAM’s management services include, among other things, the provision of supervisory, compliance and administrative services to the Portfolio. More information on the investment management services rendered by TAM is included in the Portfolio’s Statement of Additional Information.
TAM has been a registered investment adviser since 1996. As of December 31, 2025, TAM has approximately $64.2 billion in total assets under management.
APPROVAL TO CHANGE FROM A DIVERSIFIED COMPANY TO A NON-DIVERSIFIED COMPANY
At the Special Meeting, the Holders of the Portfolio will be asked to approve the change from a diversified company to a non-diversified company with respect to the Portfolio.
The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”), including all of the Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Portfolio as defined in the 1940 Act), has reviewed and approved Proposal I and determined that Proposal I is in the best interests of the Portfolio. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” Proposal I.
Section 5(b)(1) of the 1940 Act, a federal statute regulating the operations of mutual funds, requires funds to be classified as either a “diversified company” or “non-diversified company.” A “diversified company,” pursuant to Section 5(b)(1) of the 1940 Act must have 75% of the value of its total assets represented by cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, securities of other investment companies, and other securities limited in respect of any one issuer to an amount not greater than 5% of the company’s total assets and not more than 10% of any class of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. In effect, the aggregated total of single-issuer positions of 5% or more cannot exceed 25% of the portfolio’s assets. In contrast, a “non-diversified company” does not have this limitation under the 1940 Act and, therefore, can invest a greater percentage of its assets in fewer issuers.
Although the Portfolio is an actively managed fund, and not an index fund, it is expected that the Portfolio will generally invest in the top holdings of its benchmark index (as referenced below). The Portfolio’s investment management team may underweight or overweight such holdings relative to the index based on its evaluation of those companies. The diversification status of the Portfolio limits its ability to invest above 5% in certain issuers and forces the Portfolio to be underweighted in at least some of the top holdings in its benchmark index, even if the investment management team finds them to be attractive investment opportunities. As a result, the Portfolio’s investment management team may be prohibited from being equal to or overweight relative to the Portfolio’s benchmark index in these top holdings.
The benchmark index for the Portfolio is the S&P 500® Index (“the Index”). In contrast to the Portfolio, the Index is not limited by the 1940 Act diversification requirement. Over the past several years, certain stocks of technology-related issuers contained in the Index have experienced significant increases in their market capitalizations. As a result, the Index has become much more concentrated at the individual stock level. For example, as of December 31, 2025, 26.39% of the Index was represented by four stocks that have a greater than 5% weight. This level of index concentration coupled with the limitations placed on a diversified company can, at times, constrain the Portfolio’s ability to fully achieve target exposures to individual securities.
In selecting investments for the Portfolio, its sub-adviser, J.P. Morgan Investment Management Inc. (“the “sub-adviser”), considers the stocks in the Index as potential investments, in accordance with the Portfolio’s principal investment strategy. Due to the 1940 Act diversification requirement, at various times, the Portfolio must underweight at least some of these holdings relative to their weights in the Index even if the sub-adviser finds them to be attractive investment opportunities. The diversification status forces the Portfolio to be underweighted in the Index’s top holdings, meaning the sub-adviser cannot choose to equal or overweight positions relative to the Index even if, in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and principal investment strategy, the sub-adviser determines that they represent the best available investment opportunity. This limitation can ultimately inhibit the opportunity for the Portfolio to implement its principal investment strategy and can hinder its ability to outperform the Index or non-diversified peer funds with otherwise similar investment strategies, on a risk-return basis. TAM and the sub-adviser believe reclassifying the Portfolio as a non-diversified company is in the best interests of the Portfolio and its Holders because the non-diversified status will provide the sub-adviser with additional investment flexibility and the potential to enhance the Portfolio’s performance.
While approval of Proposal I would provide the sub-adviser with greater long-term flexibility in executing the Portfolio’s investment strategy by allowing increased exposures to certain holdings, it is not otherwise expected to affect the way the Portfolio is currently managed. The investment objective and investment strategies for the Portfolio will not change due to approval of Proposal I.
The 1940 Act diversification requirements are separate and apart from the diversification requirements that the Portfolio complies with in order to qualify for special tax treatment as set forth in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. Proposal I does not in any way affect the Portfolio’s intent to comply with the diversification requirements of Subchapter M. As a non-diversified company, the percentage of the Portfolio’s assets invested in any single issuer would not be limited by the 1940 Act, but would remain subject to Subchapter M’s broader diversification requirements.
Investing a larger percentage of the Portfolio’s assets in any one issuer could increase the Portfolio’s risk of loss and make its share price more volatile because the value of its shares would be more susceptible to adverse events affecting that issuer. If the sub-
4
adviser takes a larger position in an issuer that subsequently has an adverse return, the Portfolio may have a greater loss than it would have had if the sub-adviser had diversified the Portfolio’s investments consistent with Section 5(b)(1) of the 1940 Act. While the change to a non-diversified company classification may allow for the potential for greater risk taking by the Portfolio, the investment management team currently intends to manage the Portfolio using the substantially similar risk and volatility guidelines it has used in managing the Portfolio while it has been classified as a diversified company.
If Holders approve Proposal I, the Portfolio may operate as a non-diversified company or, in the sub-adviser’s discretion, it may not, subject to the best interests of the Portfolio and its Holders. However, if the Portfolio does not operate as a non-diversified company for three consecutive years following shareholder approval, the 1940 Act rules will require the Portfolio to be automatically re-classified as a diversified company. This would require the Portfolio again to seek shareholder approval to operate as a non-diversified company.
If Holders of the Portfolio do not approve Proposal I, then Proposal I will not be implemented and the Portfolio will continue to operate as a diversified company.
Evaluation by the Board
At a meeting held on June 9 – 10, 2026, the Board considered the reclassification of the Portfolio from a diversified investment company to a non-diversified investment company. The Board considered all factors it believed to be relevant, including the potential impact on the Portfolio, its investment strategies and risk profile, and the estimated costs associated with seeking shareholder approval of the proposed change in the Portfolio’s diversification status. The Board further considered TAM’s and the Portfolio’s sub-adviser’s recommendation of the proposed change in the Portfolio’s diversification status and belief that such change is in the best interests of the Portfolio because it would provide the Portfolio’s management team with additional investment flexibility and potential to enhance the Portfolio’s performance.
After consideration of the factors described above, as well as other factors, the Board determined that the approval of the Portfolio’s reclassification from a diversified investment company to a non-diversified investment company is in the best interests of the Portfolio and its investors and unanimously approved the reclassification of the Portfolio’s diversification status.
Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” changing the Portfolio from a Diversified Company to a Non-Diversified Company.
APPROVAL TO MODIFY THE MANAGER OF MANAGERS STRUCTURE TO PERMIT TAM TO ENTER INTO AND MATERIALLY AMEND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS WITH BOTH UNAFFILIATED AND AFFILIATED SUB-ADVISERS
At the Special Meeting, the Holders of the Portfolio will be asked to modify the manager of managers structure to permit TAM to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with both unaffiliated and affiliated sub-advisers in the future without obtaining investor approval, subject to prior approval by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).
The Board, including all of the Independent Trustees (i.e., Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Portfolio as defined in the 1940 Act), has reviewed and approved Proposal II and determined that Proposal II is in the best interests of the Portfolio. The Board unanimously recommends that Holders vote “FOR” Proposal II.
TAM currently acts as a manager of managers for the Portfolio pursuant to an exemptive order from the SEC (Release IC-23379 dated August 5, 1998) (the “Manager of Managers Order”). TAM has responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board of Trustees, to, among other matters, oversee and monitor sub-advisers, recommend selection of sub-advisers and recommend changes to sub-advisers where it believes appropriate or advisable. The Manager of Managers Order permits TAM, subject to certain conditions including the approval of the Board of Trustees, but without the approval of an applicable portfolio’s investors, to: (1) employ a new unaffiliated sub-adviser for a portfolio pursuant to the terms of a new investment sub-advisory agreement, either as a replacement for an existing sub-adviser or as an additional sub-adviser; (2) materially change the terms of any sub-advisory agreement; and (3) continue the employment of an existing sub-adviser on sub-advisory contract terms where a contract has been assigned because of a change of control of the sub-adviser. More recent SEC exemptive and no-action relief now permit the Manager of Managers Order to be relied upon with respect to sub-advisory agreements with both unaffiliated and affiliated sub-advisers without obtaining investor approval, provided that the Portfolio obtains Holder approval to operate as a portfolio in a manager of managers structure with respect to affiliated sub-advisers and complies with certain modified conditions.
In general, Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act requires that an investment company must first obtain investor approval prior to retaining a new sub-adviser or making material changes to an existing sub-advisory agreement. The Manager of Managers Order currently permits the Trust and TAM to enter into a new sub-advisory agreement with an unaffiliated sub-adviser and materially change the terms of any sub-advisory agreement, subject to the Board’s approval, including approval by a majority of the Independent Board Members, but without requiring approval from the Portfolio’s shareholders. Because the Manager of Managers Order only applies to
5
unaffiliated sub-advisers, investor approval is currently required to enter into or materially amend sub-advisory agreements with affiliated sub-advisers.
On May 29, 2019, the SEC granted a multi-manager exemptive order to Carillon Series Trust, et al. to permit Carillon Series Trust and Carillon Tower Advisers, Inc. (“Carillon”), its funds’ investment adviser, to enter into and materially amend sub-advisory agreements with unaffiliated sub-advisers and any sub-adviser that is an “affiliated person” (as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(3) of the 1940 Act) (“Affiliated Sub-advisers”) of Carillon Series Trust or Carillon without shareholder approval and to utilize aggregate fee disclosure (“Carillon Order”).2 On July 9, 2019, the SEC staff granted no-action relief to The BNY Mellon Family of Funds, et al. (“BNY Mellon”) that extended BNY Mellon’s existing multi-manager exemptive order (which only covered both unaffiliated and wholly-owned sub-advisers) to Affiliated Sub-advisers without requiring BNY Mellon to amend its order (the “BNY Letter,” and together with the “Carillon Order,” the “New Relief”). The no-action relief in the BNY Letter may be relied on by other fund complexes that have an existing multi-manager exemptive order, such as the Manager of Managers Order, provided their advisers and funds comply with the conditions of the Carillon Order . Accordingly, the Trust and TAM are seeking shareholder approval so that TAM and the Trust, with respect to the Portfolio, may rely on the New Relief, which would extend the Manager of Managers Order to any sub-advisory agreements with Affiliated Sub-advisers that may be entered into with respect to the Portfolio.
TAM believes that the New Relief is in the best interests of the Portfolio’s Holders as it will provide TAM and the Board with maximum flexibility to select, monitor and evaluate Affiliated Sub-advisers without incurring the expense or delay of seeking specific Holder approval. In addition, it will permit the Portfolio to more efficiently and quickly respond to changes in market conditions and other factors. Currently, in order for TAM to appoint a new Affiliated Sub-adviser or materially amend a sub-advisory agreement with an Affiliated Sub-adviser, the Trust must hold a special shareholder meeting and solicit votes from the Portfolio’s investors. This process is time consuming and costly. Under the New Relief, TAM and the Board would be able to act more quickly and with less expense to appoint a new Affiliated Sub-adviser or materially amend a sub-advisory agreement with an Affiliated Sub-adviser when TAM and the Board believe that the appointment or amendment would benefit a portfolio and its investors.
If the Portfolio’s Holders approve Proposal II, the Board would continue to oversee the sub-adviser selection process to help ensure that investors’ interests are protected. The Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, would also continue to evaluate and approve all new sub-advisory agreements, as well as any material modifications to all sub-advisory agreements, analyzing all factors that it considers to be relevant to the determination, including the nature, quality and scope of services provided by the sub-advisers. Approval of Proposal II will not result in an increase or decrease in the total amount of investment management fees paid by the Portfolio to TAM or the sub-advisory fees paid by TAM to the Portfolio’s sub-adviser. The sub-advisory fees are directly paid by TAM to the sub-adviser out of the investment management fees that TAM receives from the Portfolio, and not by the Portfolio.
Similarities and Differences between the Manager of Managers Order and the New Relief
Under the terms of the New Relief, TAM and the Trust would continue to be subject to several conditions imposed by the SEC which are currently applicable under the Manager of Managers Order. For example, in order to rely on the New Relief, as with the Manager of Managers Order, at all times, a majority of the Board must consist of Independent Trustees and the selection and nomination of new or additional Independent Trustees must be placed within the discretion of the then-existing Independent Trustees. In addition, a Trust’s Independent Trustees must be represented by “Independent Legal Counsel” (as such term is defined in Rule 0-1(a)(6) under the 1940 Act). Also, both the Manager of Managers Order and the New Relief permit aggregate fee disclosure.
Under the terms of the New Relief, TAM and the Trust would also be subject to certain new or modified conditions. The significant differences between the Manager of Managers Order and the New Relief are set forth below. Specifically, under the New Relief:
| | TAM will no longer be required to obtain investor approval to enter into or materially amend sub-advisory agreements with Affiliated Sub-advisers. As noted above, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, would also continue to evaluate and approve all new sub-advisory agreements, as well as any material modifications to all sub-advisory agreements, |
| | the Portfolio must continue to disclose in its prospectus the existence, substance and effect of the manager-of-managers order, and must also disclose prominently that TAM has the ultimate responsibility, subject to oversight by the Board, to oversee the sub-advisers and recommend their hiring, termination and replacement. |
| | the Portfolio must continue to furnish to its investors an information statement that contains information about a new sub-adviser and sub-advisory agreement; however, it will no longer be required to furnish such an information statement to investors when an existing sub-advisory agreement is materially modified. |
| | the Board must evaluate any material conflicts that may be present in a sub-advisory arrangement whenever a sub-adviser change is proposed for a portfolio or the Board considers an existing sub-advisory agreement as part of its annual review process. |
6
| | there would be an explicit requirement to obtain investor approval for any new sub-advisory agreement or any amendment to an existing investment advisory agreement or sub-advisory agreement that directly or indirectly results in an increase in the aggregate advisory fee rate payable by a portfolio. |
| | TAM would continue to provide the Board with information showing the expected impact on TAM’s profitability whenever a sub-adviser is hired or terminated. |
If Holders approve Proposal II with respect to the Portfolio, TAM will determine if and when the Portfolio should rely on the New Relief. The Portfolio’s prospectus and/or statement of additional information will be updated in advance of the New Relief being relied upon by the Portfolio.
If Holders do not approve Proposal II, then Proposal II will not be implemented and the Portfolio will continue to operate under a manager-of-managers structure pursuant to the Manager of Managers Order and TAM will continue to be required to seek approval from investors prior to entering into or materially amending sub-advisory agreements with an Affiliated Sub-adviser and the Portfolio will incur proxy and related costs.
Evaluation by the Board
At a meeting held on June 9 - 10, 2026, the Board of Trustees, on behalf of the Portfolio, approved the proposal to have the Portfolio rely on the New Relief and authorized TAM to seek Holder approval for the proposal.
The Board considered various factors, including:
| | The Board’s own experience since the date of the Manager of Managers Order with the Trust’s Manager of Managers structure and with evaluating and approving the portfolios’ sub-advisers and sub-advisory agreements and the similarities and differences between the relief available under the Manager of Managers Order and the New Relief; |
| | The Board’s belief that it will retain sufficient oversight of the Portfolio’s investment sub-advisory arrangements to be able to continue to seek to ensure that investors interests are protected whenever TAM selects an Affiliated Sub-adviser to manage the Portfolio or materially modify an investment sub-advisory agreement with an Affiliated Sub-adviser on behalf of the Portfolio |
| | TAM’s belief that the New Relief is in the best interests of the Portfolio’s investors as it will provide TAM and the Board with maximum flexibility to select, monitor and evaluate Affiliated Sub-advisers without incurring the expense or delay of seeking Holder approval; |
| | The New Relief will permit the Portfolio to more efficiently and quickly respond to changes in market conditions and other factors, including by appointing a new sub-adviser that is an affiliate to a Portfolio if and when TAM and the Board believe that the appointment would benefit the Portfolio and its investors; |
| | If TAM and the Board appoint an Affiliated Sub-adviser to the Portfolio, Holders would receive an information statement containing substantially the same information about the Affiliated Sub-adviser and the sub-advisory agreement that the Holders would otherwise have received if the Portfolio had been required to send Holders a proxy statement; |
| | The delay and costs associated with creating and distributing proxy statements, soliciting Holder votes and holding special meetings; |
| | TAM will continue to (a) set the Portfolio’s investment objective and strategies; (b) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Portfolio’s sub-adviser(s); and (c) implement procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the sub-adviser(s) comply with the Portfolio’s investment objectives, policies and restrictions; and |
| | No sub-adviser can be appointed, or have its contract materially amended, without the Board’s approval and involvement. |
Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of the Modified Manager of Managers Structure.

Holders Sharing the Same Address
As permitted by law, the Portfolio will deliver only one copy of this Proxy Statement to Holders residing at the same address, unless such Holders have notified the Portfolio of their desire to receive multiple copies of the Holder reports and proxy statements the Portfolio sends.

PROXY FOR THE SPECIAL MEETING OF HOLDERS TO BE HELD ON
OCTOBER 7, 2026
The undersigned, revoking previous proxies, hereby appoints Marijn P. Smit and Dennis P. Gallagher, each of them, as attorneys and proxies for the undersigned, with full power of substitution, to vote all shares of the above-mentioned fund (the “Portfolio”), which the undersigned is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting of Holders (the “Special Meeting”) of the Portfolio to be held at the offices of Transamerica Asset Management, Inc.
