REINSURANCE GROUP OF AMERICA, INCORPORATED

5.000% Senior Notes due 2021

     Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

1. Principal and Interest.

     Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated, a Missouri corporation (the “Company”), promises
to pay interest on the principal amount of this Senior Note in the manner specified below at the
rate of 5.000% per annum from and including May 27, 2011, to, but excluding, the Stated Maturity.
The Company will pay interest on this Senior Note semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1
of each year (each an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on December 1, 2011. Interest not paid
on the scheduled Interest Payment Date will accrue and compound semiannually at the rate borne by
the principal amount of this Senior Note.

     Interest on the Senior Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

     The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the rate borne by
the Senior Notes plus 1% per annum to the extent lawful.

2. Ranking.

     The Senior Notes shall constitute the senior debt obligations of the Company and shall rank
equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior debt obligations of the
Company.

3. Method of Payment.

     Interest on any Senior Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Senior Note (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
the payment of such interest. In the event that any date on which interest is payable on the Senior
Notes is not a Business Day, payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next
day that is a Business Day (and without any additional interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next calendar year, such payment will be
made on the preceding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date such
payment was originally payable.

A-3

 

4. Paying Agent and Security Registrar.

     Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., the Trustee, will act as Paying
Agent and Security Registrar. The Company may change the Paying Agent and Security Registrar
without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may, subject to certain
exceptions, act in any such capacity.

5. Indenture.

     This Senior Note is one of a duly authorized series of the 5.000% Senior Notes due 2021 (the
“Senior Notes”) of Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated, a Missouri corporation (including
any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, the “Company”), issued under
a Senior Indenture, dated as of December 19, 2001 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by a
Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture dated as May 27, 2011 (the “Fourth Supplemental Senior
Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), in each case, between the
Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”). The terms
of this Senior Note include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by
reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (“TIA”). This Senior Note is subject to
all such terms, and by acceptance hereof, Holders agree to be bound by all of such terms, as the
same may be amended from time to time. Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a
statement of all such terms. To the extent permitted by applicable law, in the event of any
inconsistency between the terms of this Senior Note and the terms of the Indenture, the terms of
the Indenture shall control. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below unless otherwise indicated.

6. Optional Right of Redemption.

     (a) The Company may, at its option, redeem the Senior Notes, in whole or in part, at any time
at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of: (a) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes
to be redeemed, and (b) as determined by the Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of those
payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on
a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted
Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points plus, in each case, accrued interest thereon to the date of
redemption.

     (b) The redemption provisions of Article XIII of the Base Indenture shall apply to the Senior
Notes.

     “Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any date of redemption, the rate per annum
equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a
price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal
to the Comparable Treasury Price for that date of redemption.

     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the
Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Senior Notes to be
redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary

A-4

 

financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to
the remaining term of the Senior Notes.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any date of redemption, (i) the average of
the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the date of redemption, after excluding the highest
and lowest Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Quotation Agent obtains fewer than
three (3) Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations.

     “Quotation Agent” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer” means (i) J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner & Smith Incorporated and a Primary Treasury Dealer (as defined herein) selected by Wells
Fargo Securities, LLC and their successors; provided, however, that if any of them shall cease to
be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer in the United States (a “Primary Treasury Dealer”),
the Company shall substitute another Primary Treasury Dealer; and (ii) one other Primary Treasury
Dealer selected by the Company.

     “Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any date of redemption, the average, as determined by the Quotation Agent, after consultation
with the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each
case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Quotation Agent by that
Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding
that date of redemption.

     Pursuant to Article XIII of the Base Indenture, notice of any redemption will be mailed at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the date of redemption to each Holder of the Senior
Notes to be redeemed.

7. No Sinking Fund.

     The Senior Notes will not be subject to a sinking fund provision.

8. Defaults and Remedies.

     The Indenture provides that an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Notes occurs upon
the occurrence of specified events. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of all of the Senior Notes may become or be declared due and payable, in the manner, with
the effect provided in the Indenture.

9. Amendment; Supplement; Waiver.

     Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Senior Notes may be amended or
supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Senior Notes then Outstanding, and any Event of Default or compliance with any
provision may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Senior Notes then Outstanding, except an Event of Default in the payment of

A-5

 

interest or the principal of, any such Senior Note held by a non-consenting Holder, or in
respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all
affected Holders. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties to the Indenture may
amend or supplement the Indenture or the Senior Notes to, among other things, cure any ambiguity,
defect or inconsistency, provide for uncertificated Senior Notes in addition to or in place of
certificated Senior Notes, comply with Article Four of the Fourth Supplemental Senior Indenture,
provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to Holders of such Senior Notes, make any
change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Senior Notes or
that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder,
or add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon
the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of each Holder affected, an
amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Senior Notes held by a non-consenting holder of
Senior Notes) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on,
any Senior Note, reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Senior Note,
change the coin or currency in which the principal amount of any Senior Note or the interest
thereon is payable, impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or
with respect to, any Senior Note on or after the Stated Maturity of such Senior Note, reduce the
percentage in principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes, the consent of whose Holders is
required to modify or amend the Indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any
waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and
their consequences) provided for in the Indenture or modify any of the provisions of the Indenture
relating to waivers of past Events of Default or the rights of Holders of the Senior Notes to
receive payments of principal of or interest on the Senior Notes; or make any change in the
foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

10. Restrictive Covenants.

     The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries
to, among other things, create certain liens, issue or dispose of stock of Restricted Subsidiaries
and consummate certain mergers and consolidations or sales of all or substantially all of its
assets. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions.

11. Denomination; Transfer; Exchange.

     The Senior Notes of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the

series so issued are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount at maturity of Senior Notes
of this series of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Senior
Note is transferable by the registered Holder hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon
surrender of this Senior Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee
in the City and State of New York accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in
form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by the

A-6

 

registered Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Senior Notes of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount at
maturity will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

12. Persons Deemed Owners.

     The registered Holder of this Senior Note shall be treated as its owner for all purposes.

13. Defeasance.

     Subject to certain conditions contained in the Indenture, at any time some or all of the
Company’s obligations under the Senior Notes and the Indenture may be discharged if the Company
deposits with the Trustee money and/or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal
of and interest on the Senior Notes to Stated Maturity.

14. No Recourse Against Others.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on this Senior
Note, or any part hereof or of the indebtedness represented hereby, or upon any obligation,
covenant or agreement of the Indenture, against any incorporator, shareholder, officer or director,
as such, past, present or future, of the Company (or any incorporator, shareholder, officer or
director of any predecessor or successor corporation), either directly or through the Company (or
of any predecessor or successor corporation), whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or
rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly
waived and released; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to
and the enforcement of the liability, if any, of any shareholder or subscriber to capital stock
upon or in respect of the shares of capital stock not fully paid.

15. CUSIP Numbers.

     The Company may cause CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Senior Notes as a convenience to
Holders. No representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers, and reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.
