Transamerica plans to merge its Kansas City, Missouri-based administrative operations with those in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, it said in a statement Thursday.

The reorganization will result in about 500 job cuts, but the employees affected can relocate to other Transamerica locations or receive a severance package and job search assistance, the company said.

Aegon's Transamerica employs about 3,000 people in Cedar Rapids and Aegon NV about 27,000 worldwide.
