<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the specific terms of the notes that we are
offering and other matters relating to us and our financial condition. The second part is the accompanying prospectus, which gives more general information about securities we may offer from time to time, some of which does not apply to the notes we
are offering. Generally, when we refer to the prospectus, we are referring to both parts of this document combined. The description of the terms of the notes contained in this prospectus supplement supplements the description under the
&#147;Description of Debt Securities of RGA&#148; in the accompanying prospectus, and to the extent it is inconsistent with that description, the information in this prospectus supplement replaces the information in the accompanying prospectus. If
the description of the notes in the prospectus supplement differs from the description of the notes in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. </P>

Group of America, Incorporated and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis (but excluding the RGA Trusts), unless we state or the context implies otherwise, including, without limitation, with respect to descriptions of the notes or their terms or
provisions (which are obligations of Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated but not any of its subsidiaries). When we use the term &#147;Variable Rate Junior Subordinated Debenture due 2065,&#148; we mean the security initially known as our
&#147;6.75% Junior Subordinated Debentures due 2065&#148; and initially issued in December 2005. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Unless we indicate otherwise, we base
the information concerning our industry contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus on our general knowledge of and expectations concerning the industry. Our market position, market share and
industry market size are based on our estimates using our internal data and estimates, based on data from various industry analyses, our internal research and adjustments and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. We have not independently
verified data from industry analyses and cannot guarantee their accuracy or completeness. In addition, we believe that data regarding the industry, market size and our market position and market share within such industry provide general guidance
but are inherently imprecise. Further, our estimates and assumptions involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed in the &#147;Risk factors&#148; section of this prospectus supplement
and the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the estimates and assumptions.

anyone to provide you with information that is different. This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus may only be used where it is legal to sell the notes. The information in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus

under the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>RGA is an insurance holding company, and payments on the notes will only be made from our earnings and assets,

reinsurance company subsidiaries, and substantially all of our income is derived from those subsidiaries. The notes will be solely our obligations, and our subsidiaries will have no obligation to pay any amount in respect of the notes or to make any
funds available for any such payment. Accordingly, we will be dependent on assets held, dividends and other distributions or loans from our subsidiaries, loans from third parties or new capital raising transactions to generate the funds necessary to
meet obligations with respect to the notes, including the payment of principal and interest, and if these sources are not adequate, we may be unable to make payments of principal or interest in respect of the notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our ability to pay principal and interest on any debt securities, including the notes, is limited and depends in part on the ability of our
insurance company subsidiaries, our principal sources of cash flow, to declare and distribute dividends or to advance money to us in the form of intercompany loans, other payments, loans from third parties or new capital raising transactions. Our
insurance company subsidiaries are subject to various statutory and regulatory restrictions, applicable to insurance companies generally, that limit the amount of cash dividends, loans and advances that those subsidiaries may pay to us. For fiscal
year 2019, the amount of dividends that may be paid to us by RGA Reinsurance Company, our largest operating subsidiary, without prior approval from Missouri insurance regulators is equal to the greater of (i) the prior year&#146;s statutory net gain
from operations, or approximately $654&nbsp;million, and (ii) 10% of the prior year-end statutory capital and surplus, or approximately $208 million. However, due to risk based capital considerations, RGA Reinsurance Company is unlikely to pay to us
an amount of dividends in excess of $208 million. We cannot assure you that more stringent dividend restrictions will not be adopted, as discussed in our 2018 Annual Report under &#147;Risk Factors&#151;Risks related to our business&#151;Our
reinsurance subsidiaries are highly regulated, and changes in these regulations could negatively affect our business.&#148; Covenants contained in some of our existing and future debt agreements and regulations relating to capital requirements
affecting some of our most significant subsidiaries may also restrict the ability of certain subsidiaries to pay dividends and other distributions and make loans to us. </P>

notes on any securities exchange or for quotation of the notes on any automated dealer quotation system. Although the underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the notes after completion of the offering, they have
no obligation to do so, and such market making activities may be discontinued at any time and without notice. We cannot assure you that any market for the notes will develop or be sustained, that holders of the notes will be able to sell their notes

believe that investors generally perceive companies engaged in the reinsurance business as yield-driven investments and compare the annual yield from distributions by such companies with yields on various other types of financial instruments. In
general, as market interest rates rise, notes bearing interest at a fixed rate generally decline in value because the premium, if any, over market interest rates will decline. Thus, an increase in market interest rates generally could adversely
affect the market price of the notes. We cannot predict the future level of market interest rates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Our credit ratings may not

security, and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the rating organization in its sole discretion. Consequently, real or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of the notes. Our credit ratings,
however, may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to the structure of the notes or market or other factors discussed in this prospectus supplement on the value of the notes. Neither us nor any underwriter has any obligation to the
holders of the notes to maintain any credit ratings or to advise holders of the notes of any change in its credit ratings and there is no requirement in the indenture governing the notes to maintain a rating on the notes. Each agency&#146;s rating
should be evaluated independently of any other agency&#146;s rating. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, the credit ratings assigned to our unsecured
indebtedness, including the notes upon issuance, may affect our ability to obtain new financing and the costs of our financing. It is possible that rating agencies may downgrade our credit ratings or change their outlook about us, which could
increase our cost of capital and make our efforts to raise capital more difficult and, in turn, adversely affect our financial results. Such a downgrade in rating may also reduce the price that a subsequent purchaser may be willing to pay for the
notes. </P>

preclude our subsidiaries from issuing secured or unsecured indebtedness. If RGA issues secured indebtedness, to the extent the security granted consists of voting stock in restricted subsidiaries, the indenture will require the notes to rank
equally as to security. However, to the extent the security consists of other assets, the indenture will not provide corresponding protection for the notes. The notes will not be obligations of or guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries. Therefore,
indebtedness or preferred stock held by third parties issued by our subsidiaries or indebtedness issued by us secured by assets other than voting stock of restricted subsidiaries may be paid ahead of the notes in the event of our or our
subsidiaries&#146; insolvency. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because RGA is an insurance holding company, its principal assets consist of the stock of its insurance
company subsidiaries, and, absent any additional capital raising or borrowing, its principal cash flow would be derived from dividends and other distributions or loans from its insurance company subsidiaries or new capital raising transactions.
Therefore, RGA may rely primarily on dividends or other payments from its operating subsidiaries to pay principal and interest on its outstanding debt obligations, including the notes. The principal source of funds from these operating subsidiaries
comes from their current operations. RGA can also utilize loans from third parties, cash, cash equivalents and investment securities maintained in its portfolio for these payments. In addition, regulatory and other legal restrictions may limit the
amount of dividends and other payments its subsidiaries can make to it. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our insurance company subsidiaries are subject to various state
statutory and regulatory restrictions, applicable to insurance companies generally, that limit the amount of cash dividends, loans and advances that those subsidiaries may pay to us. See &#147;Business&#151;Corporate Structure,&#148;
&#147;&#151;Regulation&#148; and &#147;&#151;Restrictions on Dividends and Distributions&#148; in our 2018 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference herein, and &#147;Risk Factors&#151;Risks related to ownership of the notes&#151;RGA is an

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of RGA being an insurance holding company, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities
and commitments of RGA&#146;s subsidiaries&#146; existing and future obligations, including claims under reinsurance contracts, debt obligations and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business. RGA only has a shareholder&#146;s
claim in the assets of its subsidiaries. This shareholder&#146;s claim is junior to claims that creditors or holders of preferred stock of RGA&#146;s subsidiaries have against those subsidiaries. Holders of the notes will only be creditors of RGA,
and such holders will not be creditors of RGA&#146;s subsidiaries, where most of RGA&#146;s consolidated assets are located. As of March&nbsp;31, 2019, our consolidated short- and long-term debt, net of $18.2&nbsp;million unamortized issuance costs,

of DTC or its nominee for the accounts of its participants, including Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., or Euroclear, as operator of the Euroclear System, and Clearstream Banking, soci&eacute;t&eacute; anonyme, or Clearstream. We will not issue certificated
notes, except in the limited circumstances described below. Transfers of ownership interests in the global notes will be effected only through entries made on the books of DTC participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. You, as the
beneficial owner of notes, will not receive certificates representing ownership interests in the global notes, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the notes is discontinued. You will not receive written confirmation from DTC of
your purchase. The direct or indirect participants through whom you purchased the notes should send you written confirmations providing details of your transactions, as well as periodic statements of your holdings. The direct and indirect
participants are responsible for keeping accurate account of the holdings of their customers like you. The laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits
and such laws may impair the ability to own, transfer or pledge beneficial interests in the global notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">So long as DTC or its nominee
is the registered owner and holder of the global notes, DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by the global notes for all purposes under the indenture relating to the notes.
Except as provided below, you, as the beneficial owner of interests in the global notes, will not be entitled to have notes registered in your name, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of notes in definitive form and will
not be considered the owner or holder thereof under the indenture. Accordingly, you, as the beneficial owner, must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if you are not a DTC participant, on the procedures of the DTC participants through which you own
your interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Neither we, the trustee, nor any other agent of ours or agent of
the trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in global notes or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the
beneficial ownership interests. DTC&#146;s practice is to credit the accounts of DTC&#146;s direct participants with payment in amounts proportionate to their respective holdings in principal amount of beneficial interest in a security as shown on
the records of DTC, unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on the payment date. The underwriters will initially designate the accounts to be credited. Beneficial owners may experience delays in receiving distributions on
their notes because distributions will initially be made to DTC and they must be transferred through the chain of intermediaries to the beneficial owner&#146;s account. Payments by DTC participants to you will be the responsibility of the DTC
participant and not of DTC, the trustee or us. Accordingly, we and any paying agent will have no responsibility or liability for any aspect of DTC&#146;s records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in notes
represented by a global securities certificate; any other aspect of the relationship between DTC and its participants or the relationship between those participants and the owners of beneficial interests in a global securities certificate held
through those participants; or the maintenance, supervision or review of any of DTC&#146;s records relating to those beneficial ownership interests. </P>

interest in a global security such as you desires to take any action which a holder of notes is entitled to take under the indenture, DTC would authorize the direct participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to take such action, and
those direct participants and any indirect participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through those direct and indirect participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through
them. </P>

regulatory and other legal restrictions limit the amount of dividends and other payments our subsidiaries can make to us. Our subsidiaries have no obligation to guarantee or otherwise pay amounts due under the debt securities. Therefore, the debt
securities will be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments of our subsidiaries, including claims under reinsurance contracts, debt obligations and other liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of
business. As of March&nbsp;31, 2017, our consolidated short- and long-term indebtedness aggregated approximately $2.8 billion and our subsidiaries had approximately $42.2 billion of outstanding liabilities reflected in our financial statements,
which includes $441.7 million of liabilities associated with the floating rate insured notes issued by our subsidiary, Timberlake Financial, L.L.C., $149.4 million of liabilities associated with the collateral financing obtained by our subsidiary,
RGA Reinsurance Company (Barbados) Ltd. and $234.4 million of liabilities associated with the asset-backed notes issued by our subsidiary, Chesterfield Financial Holdings LLC. We will disclose material changes to these amounts in any prospectus
supplement or other offering material relating to an offering of our debt securities. In the event of a default on any debt securities, the holders of the debt securities will have no right to proceed against the assets of any insurance subsidiary.
If the subsidiary were to be liquidated, the liquidation would be conducted under the laws of the applicable jurisdiction. Our right to receive distributions of assets in any liquidation of a subsidiary would be subordinated to the claims of the
subsidiary&#146;s creditors, except to the extent any claims of ours as a creditor would be recognized. Any recognized claims of ours would be subordinated to any prior security interest held by any other creditors of the subsidiary and obligations
of the subsidiary that are senior to those owing to us. </P>

distribution is made to the holders of common stock or stock of junior rank, the amount set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. However, in this case the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to any other or further payment. If
upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up our net assets are insufficient to permit the payment in full of the respective amounts to which the holders of all outstanding preferred stock are entitled, our entire remaining net assets will be

incorporation and bylaws provide that our board of directors will be divided into three classes of directors serving staggered three-year terms. Each class, to the extent possible, will be equal in number. The size of our board of directors will not
be less than three and our board of directors can amend the number of directors by majority vote. Each class holds office until the third annual shareholders&#146; meeting for election of directors following the most recent election of such class.

provide that the number of directors will be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of our board of directors, but in no event will it consist of less than three directors. In accordance with our bylaws,
our board of directors currently has fixed the number of directors at eleven. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Directors are Removed for Cause Only.</I>&nbsp;Missouri
law provides that, unless a corporation&#146;s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, the holders of a majority of the corporation&#146;s voting stock may remove any director from office. Our articles of incorporation provide that shareholders
may remove a director only &#147;for cause&#148; and with the approval of the holders of 85% of RGA&#146;s voting stock. Our board of directors may remove a director, with or without cause, only in the event the director fails to meet the
qualifications stated in the bylaws for election as a director or in the event the director is in breach of any agreement between such director and RGA relating to such director&#146;s service as RGA&#146;s director or employee. </P>

vacancy created by any reason prior to the expiration of the class in which the vacancy occurs will be filled by a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum. A director elected to fill a vacancy will be elected for the
unexpired term of his predecessor. Any directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors may be filled by the board of directors and will be added to such class of directors so that all classes of directors will be as

Proposals and Director Nominations.</I>&nbsp;Our articles of incorporation contain provisions requiring that advance notice be delivered to RGA of any business to be brought by a shareholder before an annual meeting and providing for procedures to
be followed by shareholders in nominating persons for election to our board of directors. Ordinarily, the shareholder must give notice at least 60&nbsp;days but not more than 90&nbsp;days before the meeting, but if we give less than
70&nbsp;days&#146; notice of the meeting, then the shareholder must give notice within ten days after we mail notice of the meeting or make other public disclosure of the meeting. The notice must include a description of the proposal, the reasons
for the proposal, and other specified matters. Additionally, our bylaws supplement the advance notice requirements included in our articles of incorporation by, among other things, requiring shareholder proponents to disclose all ownership interests
in us, certain information about proposed director nominees, any material interest of the shareholder proponent or beneficial owner in the business proposed for the meeting. The bylaws also require that these disclosures be updated and supplemented,
if necessary and that the shareholder proposing business or making a nomination must appear at the meeting for the proposal to be considered. Our board may reject any proposals that have not followed these procedures or that are not a proper subject
for shareholder action in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Bylaws May Be Amended by Directors and Not
Shareholders.</I>&nbsp;Our articles of incorporation provide that our bylaws may be amended only by the majority of the entire board of directors. Shareholders will not be able to amend the bylaws without first amending our articles of
incorporation. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Supermajority Vote Required to Amend Specified Provisions.</I>&nbsp;Our articles of incorporation provide that

added to the shares previously held by such shareholder, to exercise or direct the exercise of more than a specified percentage of RGA&#146;s outstanding stock (beginning at 20%). The statute exempts some types of acquisitions and provides a
procedure for an acquiring shareholder to obtain shareholder approval to permit such shareholder to vote these shares. However, as permitted by the statute, RGA previously amended its bylaws to provide that the control share acquisition statute will
not apply to control share acquisitions of RGA&#146;s stock, but may elect to become subject to such statute by a further amendment to its bylaws. </P>

depositary shares will be deposited under a separate deposit agreement between us and a bank or trust company we select. The prospectus supplement or other offering material relating to a series of depositary shares will set forth the name and
address of this preferred stock depositary. Subject to the terms of the deposit agreement, each owner of a depositary share will be entitled, proportionately, to all the rights, preferences and privileges of the preferred stock represented by such
depositary share, including dividend, voting, redemption, conversion, exchange and liquidation rights. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The depositary shares will be

other offering material. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive the shares of preferred stock, but only in whole
shares of preferred stock, underlying those depositary shares. If the depositary receipts delivered by the holder evidence a number of depositary shares in excess of the whole number of shares of preferred stock to be withdrawn, the depositary will
deliver to that holder at the same time a new depositary receipt for the excess number of depositary shares. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Dividends and Other Distributions

stock represented by the depositary shares to the record holders of depositary receipts in proportion, to the extent possible, to the number of depositary shares owned by those holders. The depositary, however, will distribute only the amount that
can be distributed without attributing to any depositary share a fraction of one cent, and any undistributed balance will be added to and treated as part of the next sum received by the depositary for distribution to record holders of depositary
receipts then outstanding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If there is a distribution other than in cash in respect of the preferred stock, the preferred stock

is not feasible to make such a distribution. In that case, the preferred stock depositary may, with our approval, adopt any method that it deems equitable and practicable to effect the distribution, including a public or private sale of the property
and distribution of the net proceeds from the sale to the holders. </P>

provisions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Redemption of Depositary Shares </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If any series of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares is subject to redemption, the depositary shares will be redeemed from the
proceeds received by the preferred stock depositary resulting from the redemption, in whole or in part, of the preferred stock held by the preferred stock depositary. Whenever we redeem a share of preferred stock held by the preferred stock
depositary, the preferred stock depositary will redeem as of the same redemption date a proportionate number of depositary shares representing the shares of preferred stock that were redeemed. The redemption price per depositary share will be equal
to the aggregate redemption price payable with respect to the number of shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares. If fewer than all the depositary shares are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by
lot or proportionately as we may determine. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no

may be attached to or separate from the other securities. The proceeds from the sale of each trust&#146;s preferred and common securities will be used by such trust to purchase a series of junior subordinated debt securities issued by RGA. The
junior subordinated debt securities will be held in trust by the trust&#146;s property trustee for the benefit of the holders of such preferred and common securities. Each amended and restated trust agreement has been or will be qualified as an
indenture under the Trust&nbsp;Indenture Act. The property trustee for each trust, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust&nbsp;Company, N.A., as successor to The Bank of New York, an independent trustee, will act as indenture trustee for the preferred
securities for purposes of compliance with the provisions of the Trust&nbsp;Indenture Act. The preferred securities will have the terms, including distributions, redemption, voting, liquidation rights, maturity date or dates and the other preferred,
deferred or other special rights or restrictions as are established by the administrative trustees in accordance with the applicable amended and restated trust agreement or as are set forth in the amended and restated trust agreement or made part of

the extent of any payment made by RGA to such holder of preferred securities in such direct action. RGA, under the guarantee, acknowledges that the guarantee trustee shall enforce the guarantee on behalf of the holders of the preferred securities.
If RGA fails to make payments under the guarantee, the guarantee provides a mechanism whereby the holders of the preferred securities may direct the trustee to enforce its rights thereunder. Any holder of preferred securities may institute a legal

holder of the junior subordinated debt securities, would be a subordinated creditor of ours. Therefore, the property trustee would be subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior and subordinated debt, but is entitled to receive payment in
full of principal and interest before any of our shareholders receive payments or distributions. Since we are the guarantor under the preferred securities guarantees and have agreed to pay for all costs, expenses and liabilities of the RGA trusts
other than the obligations of the trusts to pay to holders of the preferred securities the amounts due to the holders pursuant to the terms of the preferred securities, the positions of a holder of the preferred securities and a holder of the junior
