A 1% contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) will be applied to any redemption within 24 months of Class T shares purchased in amounts of $1 million or more on which no front-end sales charge was imposed, unless the Class T shares were purchased through a qualified retirement plan or through a wrap account for the benefit of clients of certain broker-dealers, financial institutions, or financial planners who have entered into arrangements with Transamerica Funds or Transamerica Capital, LLC.
(G) In determining whether a CDSC is payable, the Fund will comply with the provisions of Rule 6c-10 under the 1940 Act as currently adopted. Under Rule 6c-10, no CDSC is imposed with respect to 1) the portion of redemption proceeds attributable to the increase in the value of an account above the net cost of the investment due to increases in the net asset value per Class A or Class C; 2) Class A or Class C shares which have been acquired through reinvestment of income dividends or capital gain distributions; or 3) Class A shares held for more than 24 months after purchase and Class C shares held for more than 12 months of purchase.

SECTION II: CONVERSION FEATURES
(A) Class A, Class I, Class I2, Class I3, Class R, Class R1, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R6, and Class T shares do not have automatic conversion features. However, if you hold any of those Classes of shares, and are eligible to purchase Class I shares, you may be eligible to convert your shares to Class I shares of the same fund, subject to certain conditions. If you hold Class I shares and are eligible to purchase Class R6 shares, you may be eligible to convert Class I shares to Class R6 shares of the same fund, subject to certain conditions. If you hold Class I shares and are eligible to purchase Class I2 shares, you may be eligible to convert Class I shares to Class I2 shares of the same fund, subject to certain conditions.
(B) Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a certain holding period or under other circumstances in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the prospectus.
SECTION III: EXCHANGE PRIVILEGES
(A) Shares of one fund may be exchanged only for shares in the same class of another fund on which a front-end sales charge was imposed. Class T shares may be exchanged for only Class A shares of any fund other than Transamerica U.S. Growth. Class I3, Class R, Class R1, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, and Class R6 shares may not be exchanged for any other share class.
(B) Any Transamerica Funds exchange will be based on the respective net asset value of the shares involved and may be made in amounts of $1,000 or more. The minimum is reduced to $500 per fund account if you elect to establish an Automatic Investment Plan and invest a minimum of $50 per month, per fund account. If you exchange between existing fund accounts, the required minimum is $50 per fund account. There is no sales commission involved in an exchange of Class A, Class C, Class I, Class I2 or Class T shares.
SECTION IV: ALLOCATION OF CLASS EXPENSES
Class A, Class C, Class I, Class I2, Class I3, Class R, Class R1, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R6, and Class T shares of each fund shall have the same rights, preferences, voting powers, restrictions and limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption, except as follows:
| (1) |
Expenses related to the distribution of a class of shares or to services provided to the shareholders of a class of shares, shall be borne solely by such class; |
| (2) |
The bearing of the expenses set forth in Section IV (1) solely by shares of each class shall be appropriately reflected (in the manner determined by the Board of Trustees) in the net asset value, dividend, distribution and liquidation rights of the shares of such class; |
4
| (3) |
Expenses that may be borne by a particular class may also include: transfer agency or sub-transfer agency fees attributable to a particular class; preparing, printing, mailing and distributing materials such as shareholder reports, prospectuses and proxy statements to current shareholders of a specific class; state and federal registration fees incurred by a specific class; litigation and other legal expenses relating to a particular class; administrative personnel and services required to support the shareholders of a specific class; and fees and other payments made to entities performing services for a particular class, including maintenance, dividend disbursing or subaccounting services or administration of a dividend reinvestment or systematic investment or withdrawal plan; and |
| (4) |
Investment advisory fees, custodial fees and other expenses relating to the management of the funds assets shall not be allocated on a class-specific basis. |
SECTION V: ALLOCATION OF FUND INCOME AND EXPENSES
(A) Income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, and expenses that are not allocable to a specific class pursuant to Section IV above, shall be allocated to each class of a fund in accordance with Rule 18f-3(c) under the 1940 Act.
(B) Dividends and other distributions paid by each fund with respect to its Class A, Class C, Class I, Class I2, Class I3, Class R, Class R1, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R6, and Class T shares are calculated in the same manner and declared and paid at the same time. The per share income dividends on Class C, Class R, and Class R1 shares of a fund are anticipated to be lower than the per share income dividends on Class A, Class I, Class I2, Class I3, Class R2, Class R3, Class R6, and Class T shares of that fund as a result of higher distribution and service fees applicable to Class C, Class R, Class R1 and Class R4 shares.
(C) All dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, with respect to a particular class, will be paid automatically in additional shares of that class at the net asset value per share determined as of the next business day following the record date, unless otherwise elected by the shareholder.
SECTION VI: REDEMPTIONS
The value of fund shares on certain redemptions may be more or less than the shareholders cost or basis, depending upon the funds net asset value at the time of redemption. Class A and Class C shares may be subject to a CDSC, as defined in Rule 6c-10 of the 1940 Act as set forth in Section I above. Shares will normally be redeemed for cash.
SECTION VII: RECORDKEEPING
The Fund shall preserve copies of this Plan and any related agreements for a period of not less than six years from the date of this Plan or agreement, the first two years in an easily accessible place.
SECTION VIII: AMENDMENTS
This Plan may not be amended to change any material provision unless such amendment is approved by the vote of the majority of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, based on their finding that the amendment is in the best interest of each class individually and the Fund as a whole.
The Fund has executed this Amended and Restated Plan for Multiple Classes of Shares on the day and year set forth below.
