3.      On December 5, 2007, the Boards of Directors of ING Partners, Inc. and ING Investors Trust approved a proposal to reorganize certain Portfolios into the following respective “Surviving Portfolios.” Subject to approval by each Portfolio’s shareholders, after the close of business on April 25, 2008 the following Disappearing Portfolios will reorganize into and become part of the following Surviving Portfolios:

  Accordingly, effective after the close of business on April 25, 2008, investments in the Disappearing
Portfolios will automatically become investments in the Surviving Portfolios, as follows:

  • Class I of the ING Van Kampen Capital Growth Portfolio will automatically be added to your contract and all existing account balances invested in the ING Van Kampen Large Cap Growth Portfolio (Class I) will automatically become investments in the ING Van Kampen Capital Growth Portfolio (Class I).
  • I Class of the ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio will automatically be added to your contract, and all existing account balances invested in the ING JPMorgan International Portfolio (I Class) and all existing account balances invested in the ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio (S Class) will automatically become investments in the ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio (I Class).

As a result of the reorganizations, effective April 28, 2008 all references to the Disappearing Portfolios in the Contract Prospectus, Contract Prospectus Summary and SAI are hereby deleted, and all references to S Class of the ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio are changed to I Class of the ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio.

Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future allocations directed to the Disappearing Portfolios after the date of the reorganizations will be automatically allocated to the Surviving Portfolios, and all future allocations directed to the ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio (S Class) will be automatically allocated to the ING Templeton Foreign Equity Portfolio (I Class).
