<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; 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 this prospectus supplement differs from the description of the notes in the accompanying prospectus, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement. </P>

supplement, we mean Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis (but excluding the RGA trusts (as defined in the accompanying prospectus)), 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 Debentures 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 into 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 into 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. </P>

reference into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and any written communication from us or the underwriters specifying the final terms of this offering. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized 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 may only be
accurate as of their respective dates and the information in the incorporated documents is only accurate as of their respective dates. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those dates. The

March&nbsp;31, 2023, and operations in the U.S., Latin America, Canada, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. We obtain substantially all of our revenues through reinsurance agreements that cover a portfolio of life and health
insurance products, including term life, credit life, universal life, whole life, group life and health, joint and last survivor insurance, critical illness, disability, longevity as well as asset-intensive (e.g., annuities), financial reinsurance
and other capital motivated solutions. Generally, we, through various subsidiaries, have provided reinsurance for mortality, morbidity, lapse and investment-related risks associated with such products. With respect to asset-intensive products, we
have also provided reinsurance for investment-related risks. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We have the following geographic-based and business-based operational

Financial Measures </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">RGA discloses certain financial measures that are not determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Management
principally uses the following <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures in evaluating performance because management believes that such measures, when reviewed in conjunction with relevant U.S. GAAP measures, present a
clearer picture of our operating performance, and assist management in the allocation of our resources. In this regard, management believes that these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures provide investors with a
better understanding of our results of operations and balance sheet, and the underlying profitability drivers and trends of our businesses, by excluding specified items which may not be indicative of our ongoing operating performance and may
fluctuate significantly from period to period. These measures should be considered supplementary to our results that are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be viewed as a substitute for U.S. GAAP measures. Other companies may use
similarly titled <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures that are calculated differently from the way we calculate such measures. Consequently, our <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> financial measures may
not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">RGA uses adjusted operating income, on a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">after-tax</FONT> basis, and adjusted operating income per diluted share, as a basis for analyzing financial results because management believes that such measures
better reflect the ongoing profitability and underlying trends of the Company&#146;s continuing operations. Adjusted operating income is calculated as net income available to RGA shareholders excluding substantially all of the effect of net
investment related gains and losses, changes in the fair value of certain embedded derivatives, and changes in the fair value of contracts that provide market risk benefits, which items can be volatile. Additionally, adjusted operating income
excludes any net gain or loss from discontinued operations, the cumulative effect of any accounting changes, tax reform and other items that management believes are not indicative of the Company&#146;s ongoing operations. In addition, adjusted
operating income per diluted share is calculated as adjusted operating income divided by weighted average diluted shares outstanding. These measures also serve as a basis for establishing target levels and awards under our management incentive
programs. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">RGA also uses adjusted operating income, excluding notable items. Notable items currently represent the financial impact of
RGA&#146;s assumption reviews on business subject to LDTI, reflected in future policy benefits remeasurement (gains) losses. In addition, notable items may in future periods include other items RGA believes may not be indicative of future
performance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Adjusted operating revenue is a measure used by RGA that excludes the effects of net realized capital gains and losses, and

investors since such measures exclude AOCI-related items that are not permanent and can fluctuate significantly from period to period, and may not reflect the impact of the underlying performance of the Company&#146;s businesses on our
stockholders&#146; equity and book value per share. AOCI primarily relates to changes in interest rates, credit spreads on its investment securities, future policy benefits discount rate measurement gains (losses), market risk benefits

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 available or 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. In addition,
third-party rating agencies monitor statutory capital and surplus levels for capital adequacy. Even though a dividend may be payable without regulatory approval, an insurance subsidiary may forgo paying a dividend to us and retain the capital to
maintain or improve its ratings, or to offset increases in required capital from increases in premium volume or investment risk. As of December&nbsp;31, 2022, the amount of dividends that may be paid to us by RGA Reinsurance Company, our primary
U.S.-based operating subsidiary, without prior approval from Missouri insurance regulators, was approximately $226&nbsp;million. We cannot assure you that more stringent dividend restrictions will not be adopted, as discussed in our 2022 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

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 we 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 our credit ratings and there is no requirement in the indenture to maintain a rating on the notes. Each agency&#146;s rating should be evaluated

indebtedness, to the extent the security granted consists of voting stock or voting equity interests in restricted subsidiaries, the indenture will, subject to specified exceptions, 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>

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,

opportunities to sell your shares at prices higher than the prevailing market prices. We could also use additional shares to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of RGA. See also &#147;&#151;&nbsp;Anti-Takeover Provisions

RGA.</I><I></I>&nbsp;Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws 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 ten. </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>

which occur by reason of an increase in the number of directors, 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 a term expiring at the next annual meeting
of shareholders held immediately following such person being elected to fill the vacancy. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Shareholders May Only Act by Written Consent

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>No Special Meetings Called by Shareholders.</I>&nbsp;Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that special meetings may only be
called by the chairman of our board of directors, our president, or a majority of our board of directors. Only such business will be conducted, and only such proposals acted upon, as are specified in the notice of the special meeting. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Advance Notice for Shareholder 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 and 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 of directors 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>

United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri as the exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation such as derivative claims, breach of fiduciary duty claims, claims pursuant to Missouri law, our Articles of Incorporation or
our Bylaws, claims governed by the internal affairs doctrine and actions to interpret, enforce or determine the validity of our Articles of Incorporation or our Bylaws, unless we otherwise consent to another jurisdiction. </P>

power, when 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 RGA may become subject to such statute by a further amendment to its Bylaws. </P>

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

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

are not redeemed by the holders of the depositary shares will be returned to us after a period of two years from the date the funds are deposited by us. </P>

Each record holder of the depositary receipts on the record date, which will be the same date as the record date for the preferred stock, may then instruct the preferred stock depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the
number of shares of preferred stock underlying that holder&#146;s depositary shares. The preferred stock depositary will try to vote the number of shares of preferred stock underlying the depositary shares in accordance with the instructions, and we
will agree to take all reasonable action which the preferred stock depositary deems necessary to enable the preferred stock depositary to do so. The preferred stock depositary will abstain from voting the preferred stock to the extent that it does

securities purchased by the applicable trust, it is expected that the applicable trust will not have sufficient funds to pay distributions on the preferred securities and the preferred securities guarantee will not apply, since the preferred
securities guarantee covers the payment of distributions and other payments on the preferred securities only if and to the extent that RGA has made a payment of interest or principal on the junior subordinated debt securities held by the applicable

amended and restated trust agreements, including its obligations to pay costs, expenses, debts and liabilities of the trust, other than with respect to the preferred securities and common securities, provide a full and unconditional guarantee, on a

when due, taking account of any extension period, the amended and restated trust agreement provides a mechanism whereby the holders of the preferred securities affected thereby, using the procedures described in any accompanying prospectus
supplement, may direct the property trustee to enforce its rights under the junior subordinated debt securities. If a debt payment failure has occurred and is continuing, a holder of preferred securities may institute a direct action for payment
after the respective due date specified in the junior subordinated debt securities. In connection with such direct action, RGA will be subrogated to the rights of such holder of preferred securities under the amended and restated trust agreement to
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
proceeding directly against RGA to enforce the guarantee trustee&#146;s rights under the guarantee without first instituting a legal proceeding against the trust, the guarantee trustee, or any other person or entity. </P>

bankruptcy, the property trustee, as 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
