This Statement amends the Schedule 13D Statement, as amended,
of (i) MetLife, Inc. ("MLINC"), (ii) Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, a
wholly owned subsidiary of MLINC ("MetLife"), (iii) GenAmerica Financial, LLC, a
wholly owned subsidiary of MetLife ("GenAm Financial"), and (iv) General
American Life Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of GenAm Financial
("GenAm Life"), in respect of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share
("Shares"), of Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated, a Missouri
corporation ("RGA"), as follows:
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 is hereby amended by replacing the penultimate
paragraph thereof with the following:
"As previously disclosed, the Filing Parties continuously
evaluate RGA's businesses and prospects, alternative investment opportunities
and other factors deemed relevant in determining whether additional Shares will
be acquired by any of the Filing Parties or whether any of the Filing Parties
will dispose of Shares. At any time, depending on market conditions, the trading
prices for Shares, the actions taken by the board of directors of RGA,
alternative investment opportunities and the outlook for RGA, one or more of the
Filing Parties may acquire additional Shares or may dispose of some or all of
the Shares beneficially owned by such Filing Party, in either case in the open
market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. In this connection,
MLINC publicly announced on January 31, 2005 that, in connection with an
unrelated acquisition, it would consider financing that acquisition in part with
the proceeds of selected asset sales, including some or all of the Shares
beneficially owned by the Filing Parties. On April 22, 2005, MLINC publicly
announced that it is no longer considering selling some or all of the Shares
beneficially owned by the Filing Parties for the purpose of financing the
acquisition."
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 5 is hereby amended by replacing the first sentence
of the first paragraph of Item 5(a) and (b) with the following:
"(a) and (b). As of April 22, 2005, each of the Filing
Parties beneficially owned 32,243,539 Shares, or approximately 51.5 percent of
the outstanding Shares."
Page 7 of 14
Item 5 is hereby further amended by replacing the second paragraph
of Item 5(a) and (b) with the following:
"The following information in this paragraph is to the best
knowledge of the Filing Parties. As of April 22, 2005, A. Greig Woodring,
President and Chief Executive Officer and Director of RGA and Executive Vice
President of GenAm Life, beneficially owned 44,117 Shares and had sole voting
and dispositive power with respect to such Shares. Mr. Woodring also has the
right to acquire beneficial ownership of 272,369 shares through the exercise of
options that are currently vested or will vest within 60 days after April 22,
2005."
Item 5 is hereby further amended by replacing the last paragraph
of Item 5(a) and (b) with the following:
"The percentage amounts set forth in this Item 5 are based upon
62,614,355 Shares issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2005 as reported to the
Filing Parties by RGA."
