Explanation of Responses:

1. Pursuant to the terms of the terms of the Recapitalization and Distribution Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated June 1, 2008, by and between MetLife, Inc. ("MetLife") and Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated ("RGA"), each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("RGA Shares"), of RGA was reclassified as one share of class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("RGA class A common stock"), of RGA (the "Recapitalization"). Immediately following the Recapitalization, General American Life Insurance Company, a Missouri life insurance company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife ("GALIC"), exchanged 29,243,539 shares of its RGA class A common stock which represented all of the RGA class A common stock beneficially owned by MetLife other than 3,000,000 shares of RGA class A common stock with RGA for 29,243,539 shares of class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("RGA class B common stock"), of RGA.

2. Immediately following the Recapitalzation, GALIC distributed all of the 29,243,539 shares of RGA class B common stock to GenAmerica Financial, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife ("GenAm"), which in turn distributed all of such shares to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, a New York stock life insurance company and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of MetLife ("MLIC"), which in turn distributed all of such shares to MetLife (the "Transfer"). Shares of RGA class A common stock that continue to be beneficially owned by MetLife are held by GALIC.

3. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, immediately following the Recapitalization, MetLife disposed of 29,243,539 shares of RGA class B common stock in a registered exchange offer to its stockholders (the "Split-Off"). The final exchange ratio was 1 share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("MetLife common stock"), of MetLife for 1.2663 shares of RGA class B common stock. As a result of the Split-Off, MetLife no longer beneficially owns any shares of RGA class B common stock.

4. No consideration was paid or received as shares were transferred by means of dividend or distribution (see Footnote 1).

5. The final exchange ratio was 1 share of MetLife common stock for 1.2663 shares of RGA class B common stock.

6. These shares were directly owned by GALIC.

7. These shares were directly owned by GenAm.

8. These shares were directly owned by MLIC.

9. Immediately following the Recapitalization and the Transfer, but immediately prior to the Split-Off, these shares were directly owned by MetLife.
