April 30, 2010

The Contract. The contract described in this prospectus is a fixed or variable, group or individual immediate
annuity contract issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”). It is
issued to you, the contract holder as either a nonqualified contract, or a contract that qualifies for special federal
income tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Tax Code”) or with retirement plans
qualifying under Tax Code sections 401 or 457. Contracts sold in New York are not available for 457 plans.

Why Reading this Prospectus is Important. This prospectus contains facts about the contract and its investment
options that you should know before purchasing. The information will help you decide if the contract is right for
you. Please read this prospectus carefully.

Investment Options. The contract offers variable investment options and a fixed dollar option. When you purchase
the contract, your purchase payment will be applied to the investment options you select. Some investment options
may be unavailable through your contract, your plan or in your state.

Variable Income Payments. If you select variable income payments, the amount of your income payments will
vary based on the performance of the variable investment options that you select. These options are called
subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account B (“the separate account”), a separate account
of the Company. Each subaccount invests in one of the mutual funds (funds) listed on this page. Subaccount
performance will vary depending upon the performance of its underlying fund. You do not invest directly in or hold
shares of the funds.

Risks Associated with Investing in the Funds. Information about the risks of investing in the funds is located in
the “Investment Options” section, in Appendix II- Description of Underlying Funds, and in each fund prospectus.
Read this prospectus in conjunction with the fund prospectuses, and retain the prospectuses for future reference.

Information (“SAI”) about the separate account by indicating your request on your application or calling us at

CONTRACT OVERVIEW

The following is intended as a summary. Please read each section of this prospectus for additional detail.

Questions:

Contacting the Company. To answer your questions, contact your sales representative or write or call our
Customer Service Center at:

ING
Attn: Payout Services
One Orange Way
Windsor, CT. 06095-4774
1-800-238-6273

Sending Forms and Written Requests in Good Order. If you are writing to change your beneficiary, request a
withdrawal, or for any other purpose, contact your sales representative or write or call us to learn what information
is required for the request to be in “good order.”

Generally, a request is considered to be in “good order” when it is signed, dated and made with such clarity and
completeness that we are not required to exercise any discretion in carrying it out.

We can only act upon requests that are received in good order.

Contract Design:

The contract described in this prospectus is a fixed and/or variable, group or individual immediate annuity contract.
It is designed for individuals who would like regular income payments from an annuity contract. The term
“contract” in this prospectus refers to individual contracts and to certificates issued under group contracts.

Who’s Who:

Contract Holder (you/your): The person to whom we issue an individually owned contract or the participant
under a group contract.

Participant: The individual who participates in a group contract, generally in connection with a retirement plan.

The Company (we, us, our): ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company. We issue the contract.

Contract Rights:

Contract holders hold the rights under the contract. Generally, the contract holder is either an individual to whom we
issue an individual contract or a participant under a group contract. For contracts issued in connection with 457
plans, the plan sponsor is the contract holder and holds the rights under the contract. Section 457 plan sponsors may
allow their participants to exercise certain limited contract rights. For example, the section 457 plan sponsor has the
right to make investment selections, but may permit their individual participants to exercise that right.

The Contract and Retirement Plans:

We may offer this contract to employees or other individuals in connection with a retirement plan.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 1



Plan Type. We refer to a retirement plan by the Tax Code section under which it qualifies. For example: a “457
plan” is a plan that qualifies for tax treatment under Tax Code section 457. We are not a party to the plan, so the
terms and the conditions of the contract and the plan may differ.

Use of an Annuity Contract in your Plan. Under the federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity
contracts are generally not taxed until they are withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified retirement account
(such as a 401, 408(b) or 457 retirement plan), an annuity contract is not necessary to obtain this favorable tax
treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already available to the tax qualified account
itself. However, annuities do provide other features and benefits such (as the option of lifetime income phase options
at established rates) which may be valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with your financial
representative taking into account the additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity. See “Contract
Purchase or Participation.”

Contract Facts:

Income Payment Options. You may select from a number of features for your payments including but not limited
to: duration, number of payees, payments to beneficiaries, guaranteed minimum payment amount, and variable or
fixed payments. Some features require payment of additional fees. See “Income Payments.”

Free Look/Right to Cancel. You may cancel the contract no later than ten days of receipt (some states require more
than ten days). Participants in 401 plans may cancel their participation in the contract no later than ten days after
they receive evidence of participation in the contract. See “Right to Cancel.”

Death Benefit. If any guaranteed income payments remain to be paid at the time of the death of the annuitant or
both annuitants, if applicable, they may be paid to your beneficiary. See “Death Benefit.”

Withdrawals. Some income payment options allow you to withdraw a portion or all of any remaining guaranteed
payments. An early withdrawal charge may apply. See “Withdrawals.”

Fees. Certain fees associated with the contract will reduce income payments. See “Fee Table” and “Fees.”


Taxation.
The Tax Code has certain rules that apply to amounts distributed under the contract. Tax penalties may
apply if rules are not followed. See “Federal Tax Considerations.”

FEE TABLE

The following tables describe the fees and expenses that you will pay when buying, owning, and surrendering the
contract. The first table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay at the time that you buy the contract,
surrender the contract, or transfer contract value between investment options.

The tables and examples in this section show the fees that may affect the amount of variable income payments. For
fees applicable to fixed income payments, see Appendix I. See “Fees” for additional information. The fees shown
below do not reflect any premium tax that may apply.

The next table describes the fees and expenses that you will pay periodically during the time that you own the
contract, not including Trust or Fund fees and expenses.

Maximum Fees Deducted from the Subaccounts

(Daily deductions, equal to the following percentages on an annual basis, from amounts invested in the
subaccounts.)

For Contracts Without the Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature:

                   Mortality and Expense Risk Charge 1.25%
                   Administrative Expense Charge 0.00% - 0.25%(2)
                   Total Separate Account Expenses 1.25% - 1.50%
 
For Contracts With the Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature:  
 
                   Mortality and Expense Risk Charge 1.25%
                   Administrative Expense Charge 0.00% - 0.25%(2)
                   Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature 1.00%(3)
                   Total Separate Account Expenses 2.25% - 2.50%

(1)      Although the maximum early withdrawal charge is 7% of the remaining guaranteed income payments withdrawn, the total early withdrawal charge deducted will not exceed 8.5% of your purchase payment to the contract. See “Fees-Early Withdrawal Charge.”
(2)      We currently do not impose an administrative expense charge; however, we reserve the right to impose this charge for new contracts and to deduct a daily charge from the subaccounts equivalent to not more than 0.25% annually.
(3)      This charge terminates after five years if the Five Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature is elected. Otherwise, it will continue for the life of the contract.

 

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 3



Fees Deducted by the Funds

The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by a Trust or Fund that you may
pay periodically during the time that you own the contract. The minimum and maximum expenses listed below are
based on expenses for the Trust or Fund’s most recent fiscal year ends without taking into account any fee waiver or
expense reimbursement arrangements that may apply. More detail concerning each Trust or Fund’s fees and
expenses is contained in the prospectus for each Trust or Fund.

Total Annual Trust or Fund Operating Expenses Minimum Maximum
 
(expenses that are deducted from Trust or Fund assets,    
including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 0.37% 1.32%
fees 1 , and other expenses):

1      The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund company to another.
  These fees are for administrative, recordkeeping or other services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds’ affiliates. These payments are made by the funds or the funds’ affiliates to the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fees and expenses shown above. See “Fees – Fund Expenses” for additional information.

Fund Fee Information. The fund prospectuses show the investment advisory fees, 12b-1 fees and other expenses
including service fees (if applicable) charged annually by each fund. Fund fees are one factor that impacts the value
of a fund share. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for more information and to learn more about additional
factors.

The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates based on an annual
percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one fund
company to another. For certain funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service fees that
are deducted from fund assets. Any such fees deducted from fund assets are disclosed in the fund prospectuses. The
Company may also receive additional compensation from certain funds for administrative, recordkeeping or other
services provided by the Company to the funds or the funds’ affiliates. These additional payments may also be used
by the Company to finance distribution. These additional payments are made by the funds or the funds’ affiliates to
the Company and do not increase, directly or indirectly, the fund fees and expenses. Please see “Fees –Fund Fees”
for more information.

In the case of fund companies affiliated with the Company, where an affiliated investment adviser employs
subadvisers to manage the funds, no direct payments are made to the Company or the affiliated investment adviser
by the subadvisers. Subadvisers may provide reimbursement for employees of the Company or its affiliates to attend
business meetings or training conferences. Investment management fees are apportioned between the affiliated
investment adviser and subadviser. This apportionment varies by subadviser, resulting in varying amounts of
revenue retained by the affiliated investment adviser. This apportionment of the investment advisory fee does not
increase, directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. Please see “Fees – Fund Fees” for more information.

How Fees are Deducted. Fund fees are not deducted directly from your income payments. When a subaccount
purchases shares of a fund, the fees are reflected in that purchase price, so income payments based on investments in
that subaccount will be impacted indirectly by the fund fees.

Example (For contracts without the guaranteed minimum income feature)

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in
other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate
account annual expenses, and Trust or Fund fees and expenses. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the
contract for the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year
and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of the contracts and of any of the Trusts or Funds.

For the purpose of these examples, we deducted total annual fund expenses and the maximum charges under the

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 4



contract (i.e., a maximum mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% annually and an administrative expense
charge of 0.25% annually) and assume you have selected the “nonlifetime-guaranteed payments” income payment
option for a 15-year period with a 3½% assumed annual net return rate.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1) If you withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments at the end of the periods shown, you would pay
  the following fees, including any applicable early withdrawal charge:  
  1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
  $982 $1,465 $1,973 $3,113
2) If you do not withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments, you would pay the following fees at the
  end of the periods shown (no early withdrawal charge is reflected):  
  1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
  $282 $865 $1,473 $3,113

Example (For contracts with the lifetime guaranteed minimum income feature)

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in
other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate
account annual expenses, and Trust or Fund fees and expenses. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the
contract for the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year
and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of the contracts and of any of the Trusts or Funds.

For the purpose of these examples, we deducted total annual fund expenses and the maximum charges under the
contract (i.e., a maximum mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% annually, an administrative expense charge of
0.25% annually, and the guaranteed minimum income charge of 1.00% annually) and assume you are a 65 year old
male and have selected the “life income- guaranteed payments” income payment option with payments guaranteed
for 15 years and a 3½% assumed annual net return rate.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1) If you withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments at the end of the periods shown, you would pay
  the following fees, including any applicable early withdrawal charge:  
  1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
  $1,082 $1,760 $2,456 $4,029
2) If you do not withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments, you would pay the following fees at the
  end of the periods shown (no early withdrawal charge is reflected):  
  1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
  $382 $1,160 $1,956 $4,029

Example (For contracts with the five year guaranteed minimum income feature)

This example is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the contract with the cost of investing in
other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract owner transaction expenses, contract fees, separate
account annual expenses, and Trust or Fund fees and expenses. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in the
contract for the time periods indicated. The examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year
and assumes the maximum fees and expenses of the contracts and of any of the Trusts or Funds.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 5



For the purpose of these examples, we deducted total annual fund expenses and the maximum charges under the
contract (i.e., a maximum mortality and expense risk charge of 1.25% annually, an administrative expense charge of
0.25% annually, and the guaranteed minimum income charge of 1.00% annually for the first five years) and assume
you have selected the “nonlifetime-guaranteed payments” income payment option for a 15 year period with a 3½%
assumed annual net return rate.

Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

1) If you withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments at the end of the periods shown, you would
  pay the following fees, including any applicable early withdrawal charge:  
  1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
  $1,082 $1,760 $2,456 $3,517
2) If you do not withdraw your remaining guaranteed payments, you would pay the following fees at
  the end of the periods shown (no early withdrawal charge is reflected):  
  1 year 3 years 5 years 10 years
  $382 $1,160 $1,956 $3,517

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Understanding Condensed Financial Information. In Appendix III of this prospectus, we provide condensed
financial information about the Variable Annuity Account B (the Separate Account) subaccounts you may invest in
through the contract. The numbers show the year-end unit values of the subaccounts from the time purchase
payments were first received in the subaccounts under the contract.

PURCHASE

Contracts Available for Purchase. The contract is designed for persons who would like to receive regular income
payments from an annuity contract. It is available as either a nonqualified contract, or as a qualified contract for use
with a traditional IRA under section 408(b) of the Tax Code or with retirement plans qualifying under Tax Code
sections 401 or 457. Contracts sold in New York are not available for 457 plans. Availability as a group contract is
subject to state approval. We reserve the right to limit purchase of an individual contract to natural persons.

ERISA Notification. We must be notified by the employer or plan trustee if the contract is offered in connection
with a 401 plan that is subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), as
amended.

Factors to Consider in the Purchase Decision. You should discuss your decision to purchase a contract with your
sales representative. You should understand the investment options it provides, its other features, the risks and
potential benefits it includes, and the fees and expenses you will incur.

How to Purchase. You may purchase the contract by submitting your purchase payment and the required
application or enrollment forms to us.

Purchase Payment Amount. To purchase a contract you must make one payment of at least $10,000. After your
initial payment, no additional purchase payments may be made. We reserve the right to lower the required minimum
payment, to establish a maximum payment amount and to reject any payment exceeding the maximum.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 6



Acceptance or Rejection. We must accept or reject your application or enrollment materials within two business
days of receipt. If the forms are incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying purchase payment for five
business days pending completion. In all cases, we may hold a purchase payment for longer periods with your
permission and if we deposit the payment in the ING VP Money Market Portfolio subaccount until the forms are
completed (or for a maximum of 105 days). If we reject your application or enrollment, we will return the forms and
any purchase payment.

We may also refuse to accept certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments, if applicable, (traveler’s
checks, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of premium payments or loan repayments (money
orders, for example). In addition, we may require information as to why a particular form of payment was used
(third party checks, for example) and the source of the funds of such payment in order to determine whether or not
we will accept it. Use of an unacceptable form of payment may result in us returning your premium payment and not
issuing the contract.

Age Requirements. The maximum issue age is between 75 and 95 at the time of application, depending upon the
income payment option and features selected. We reserve the right to modify the maximum issue age. The contract
may not be available to all issue ages through all broker-dealers.

Allocation of Your Purchase Payment to the Investment Options. We will allocate your purchase payment, less
any applicable premium taxes, among the investment options you select. You may select up to four of the available
variable investment options at any one time. You may also select the fixed dollar option and allocate all or a portion
of your purchase payment to the general account. See “Investment Options” and “Appendix II – Description of
Underlying Funds.” Allocations must be in whole percentages. Any purchase payment received before we accept the
application or enrollment materials will be invested as of the day we do accept them.

State Variations
Contracts issued in your state may provide different features and benefits from, and impose different costs than,
those described in this prospectus. This prospectus provides a general description of the contract, so please see your
contract, any endorsements and riders for the details.

Other Products. We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than these
contracts, which may offer some or all of the same funds. These products have different benefits, fees and charges,
and may offer different share classes of the funds offered in this contract that are less expensive. These other
products may or may not better match your needs. You should be aware that there are alternative options available,
and, if you are interested in learning more about these other products, contact your registered representative. These
alternative options may not be available under your plan.

RIGHT TO CANCEL

When and How to Cancel. You may cancel your contract within ten days of receipt (some states require more than
ten days) by returning it, or the document showing your participation under a group contract, to our Customer
Service Center along with a written notice of cancellation. For contracts issued in connection with 457 plans, the
contract holder may follow these procedures on behalf of the participant. Your free look rights depend on the laws
of the state in which you purchase the contract.

Refunds. On the day we receive the request for cancellation in good order, we will calculate your contract value.
Your refund will equal that value and will reflect deduction of any income payments made. This amount may be
more or less than your purchase payment. In certain states (or if you have purchased the contract as an IRA), we
may be required to return your entire purchase payment. We will issue your refund within seven days of our receipt
of your request in good order.

INCOME PAYMENTS

Under the contract, we will make regular income payments to you or to a payee you designate in writing.

Initiating Payments. To initiate income payments, you must make the following selections on your application or
enrollment form:

  • Payment start date;
  • Payment frequency (i.e., monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually);
  • Income payment option and any special features, such as a right to withdraw or a Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature;
  • Fixed, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable payments;
  • The subaccounts to allocate your purchase payment among (only if variable payments are elected); and
  • An assumed annual net return rate (only if variable payments are elected).


Your sales representative can help you consider what selections may be appropriate for your financial goals.

Generally, your selections may not be changed after the contract is issued. Some changes, such as transfers among
subaccounts, may be allowed. Payments need to conform to required minimum distributions if applicable. See
“Federal Tax Considerations.”

What Affects Income Payment Amounts?. Some of the factors that may affect the amount of your income
payments include your age, gender, the amount of your purchase payment, the income payment option selected, the
number of guaranteed income payments selected (if any), whether you select fixed, variable or a combination of
both fixed and variable payments, and, for variable payments, the assumed annual net return rate selected.

Payment Due Dates. You will generally receive your first income payment on the last day of the selected payment
period. For example, if you elect to receive one payment a year, we will make the payment on the day before the
anniversary of the contract effective date. An alternative first payment date may be elected subject to our approval
and in compliance with IRS regulations.

Minimum Payment Amounts. For all payment options, the initial income payment must be at least $50 per month,
or total yearly payments of at least $250.

Assumed Annual Net Return Rate. If you select variable income payments, you must also select an assumed
annual net return rate of either 5% or 3½%.

If you select a 5% rate, your first income payment will be higher, but subsequent payments will increase only if the
investment performance of the subaccounts you selected is greater than 5% annually, after deduction of fees.
Payment amounts will decline if the investment performance is less than 5%, after deduction of fees.

If you select a 3½% rate, your first income payment will be lower, but subsequent payments will increase more
rapidly and decline more slowly depending upon the investment performance of the subaccounts you selected.

For more information about selecting an assumed annual net return rate, call us for a copy of the SAI. See “Contract
Overview—Questions: Contacting the Company.”

Guaranteed Minimum Income Features

Lifetime Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature. This feature is unavailable under contracts issued on or after May 1,
2001. If you selected this feature, we guarantee that your variable payment will never be less than the guaranteed
minimum payment amount shown in your contract. The guaranteed minimum payment amount equals 90% of your
estimated initial payment.

Estimated Initial Payment Amount. On the date we issued your contract we estimated the amount of your initial
payment based on the value of the annuity units your payment purchased on that date. See “Calculating Variable

amount. This feature required that you select at issue:

  • A lifetime payment option
  • 100% variable payments
  • ING Index Plus LargeCap Portfolio as the only subaccount into which your purchase payment is allocated
  • 3.5% assumed annual net return rate

feature.

Five Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature. This feature is available only under contracts issued on or after
May 1, 2001. If you select this feature, we guarantee that during the first five contract years your variable payment
will never be less than the guaranteed minimum payment amount shown in your contract. The guaranteed minimum
payment amount equals 90% of your estimated initial payment.

Estimated Initial Payment Amount. On the date we issue your contract we estimate the amount of your initial
payment based on the value of the annuity units your payment purchase on that date. See “Calculating Variable
Income Payments- Annuity Units.” Your guaranteed minimum payment amount equals 90% of this estimated
amount.

This feature requires that you select at issue:

  • A lifetime payment option or a nonlifetime payment option of 15 years or more
  • The ability to make withdrawals
  • 100% variable payments

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 9



  • If you select this feature you may transfer only between these available funds
  • 3.5% assumed annual net return rate
  • Certain age restrictions may also apply

If you select this feature, any withdrawal during the first five contract years will result in a proportionate reduction
in your guaranteed minimum payment amount.

In addition to other contract charges, if you select this feature, the guaranteed minimum income charge will apply
for the first five contract years. See “Fees.”


Start Date.
The contract is designed to be viewed as an immediate annuity contract under the Tax Code. For
nonqualified contracts you may elect to delay your income payment start date for up to 12 months following
purchase of the contract. See “Federal Tax Considerations” for rules applicable where death occurs before the
annuity starting date under a nonqualified annuity. Consult a tax adviser before electing a delay. Annuity payments
under a qualified contract must meet the required beginning date applicable to your qualified plan.

Taxation. The Tax Code has rules regarding income payments. For example, for qualified contracts, guaranteed
payments may not extend beyond (a) the estimated life expectancy of the annuitant or (b) the joint life expectancies
of the annuitant and beneficiary. Payments must comply with the required minimum distributions requirements of
Tax Code section 401(a)(9). In some cases tax penalties will apply if rules are not followed. For tax rules that may
apply to the contract see “Federal Tax Considerations.”

Payment Options

The following table lists the income payment options and their accompanying death benefits and rights to withdraw.
See “Death Benefit,” “Withdrawals,” and “Appendix I- Fixed Dollar Option” for additional detail. We may offer
additional income payment options under the contract from time to time.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 11



(e)      For qualified contracts, a guaranteed payment period may not extend beyond your life expectancy or age 100, whichever is earlier;
(f)      The withdrawal value on the contract anniversary of the change will be used to determine the amount of the new annuity payments. See “Withdrawals – Withdrawal Value;” and
(g)      We will terminate your withdrawal rights if a life annuity option is chosen.

For variable payments, the right to change a payment period is available on contracts issued on or after October 1,
2000. For fixed payments, the right to change a payment period is available on contracts issued on or after May 1,
2001. The right to change a payment period may not be available in all states. Certain other conditions and
restrictions may apply.

A change to a lifetime payment option and any change in the guaranteed payment period may have an impact on the
amount of each payment and the amount of each payment that is taxable. For advice about how any such change will
affect your taxes, consult your tax adviser.

CALCULATING VARIABLE INCOME PAYMENTS

The amount of any variable income payment is determined by multiplying the number of annuity units that you hold
by an annuity unit value (AUV) for each unit.

Annuity Units. When you select variable income payments, your initial purchase payment purchases annuity units
of the Variable Annuity Account B subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. The number of units
purchased is based on your purchase payment amount and the value of each unit on the day the purchase payment is
invested. Generally, the number of units will not vary over the life of the contract, but the value of each unit will
vary daily based on the performance of the underlying fund and deduction of fees. Some events may result in a
change in the number of units, including withdrawals, death of an annuitant if a reduction in payment to a surviving
annuitant was selected, transfers among subaccounts, or a change in a guaranteed payment period. While the number
of units may change if you transfer among subaccounts or make a change in a guaranteed payment period, the
current value of your contract will not change as a result of either of these events.

Annuity Unit Value (AUV). The value of each annuity unit in a subaccount is called the annuity unit value or
AUV. The AUV varies daily in relation to the underlying fund’s investment performance. The value also reflects
daily deductions for fund fees and expenses, the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense
charge (if any) and the guaranteed minimum income charge (if applicable). We discuss these deductions in more
detail in “Fee Table” and “Fees.”

Valuation. We determine the AUV every normal business day after the close of the New York Stock Exchange
(normally at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). At that time we calculate the current AUV by multiplying the AUV last
calculated by the net return factor of the subaccount, and by a factor to reflect the assumed annual net return rate.
The net return factor measures the investment performance of the subaccount from one valuation to the next. The
assumed annual net return rate will be either 3½% or 5% as you selected.

Current AUV = Prior AUV x Net Return Factor x
Assumed Annual Net Return Rate Factor

Net Return Factor. The net return factor for a subaccount between two consecutive valuations equals the sum of
1.0000 plus the net return rate.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 12



The net return rate is computed according to a formula that is equivalent to the following:

  • The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount as of the current valuation; minus
  • The net assets of the fund held by the subaccount at the preceding valuation; plus or minus
  • Taxes or provisions for taxes, if any, due to subaccount operations (with any federal income tax liability offset by foreign tax credits to the extent allowed); divided by
  • The total value of the subaccount’s units at the preceding valuation; minus
  • A daily deduction for the mortality and expense risk charge, the administrative expense charge (if any) and the guaranteed minimum income charge (if applicable). See “Fees.”

The net return rate may be either positive or negative.

INVESTMENT OPTIONS

When you purchase the contract, your purchase payment (less any applicable premium tax) will be applied to the
investment options you select. If you select variable investment options, you will receive variable income payments.
If you select the fixed dollar option, you will receive fixed income payments. If you select one or more variable
investment options and the fixed dollar option, a portion of your payment will vary and a portion will remain fixed.

Variable Income Payments. If you select variable income payments, the amount of your income payments will
vary based on the performance of the variable investment options that you select. These options are called
subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity Account B (“the separate account”), a separate account
of the Company. Each subaccount invests in a specific mutual fund (fund). You do not invest directly in or hold
shares of the funds.


Mutual Fund (Fund) Descriptions.
We provide brief descriptions of the funds in Appendix II. Investment results
of the funds are likely to differ significantly and there is no assurance that any of the funds will achieve their
respective investment objectives. Shares of the funds will rise and fall in value and you could lose money by
investing in the funds. Shares of the funds are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any
financial institution, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Unless otherwise
noted, all funds are diversified as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Please refer to the fund
prospectuses for additional information. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge, from our Customer
Service Center at the address and telephone number listed in “Contract Overview—Questions: Contacting the
Company,” by accessing the SEC’s website or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Room. If you received a
summary prospectus for any of the funds available through your contract, you may also obtain a full prospectus and
other fund information free of charge by either accessing the internet address, calling the telephone number or
sending an email request to the contact information shown on the front of the fund’s summary prospectus.

Certain funds are designated as “Master-Feeder” Funds. Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure (such as the
American Funds) may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities.

Fixed Income Payments. If you select fixed payments, your purchase payment will be applied to the fixed dollar
option and the amount of your payments will not vary. Except where noted, this prospectus describes only the
variable investment options. The fixed dollar option is described in Appendix I.

Number of Options You May Select. You may select up to eighteen subaccounts and/or the fixed dollar option at
any one time.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 13



Selecting Investment Options

  • Choose options appropriate for you. Your sales representative can help you evaluate which investment options may be appropriate for your financial goals.
  • Understand the risks associated with the options you choose. Some subaccounts invest in funds that are considered riskier than others. Funds with additional risks are expected to have values that rise and fall more rapidly and to a greater degree than other funds. For example, funds investing in foreign or international securities are subject to risks not associated with domestic investments, and their investment performance may vary accordingly. Also, funds using derivatives in their investment strategy may be subject to additional risks.
  • Be informed. Read this prospectus, the fund prospectuses and the Fixed Dollar Option appendix in this prospectus.

Additional Risks of Investing in the Funds (Mixed and Shared Funding)

“Shared funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccounts buy for variable annuity contracts, are also
bought by other insurance companies for their variable annuity contracts.

“Mixed funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccounts buy for variable annuity contracts, are bought
for variable life insurance contracts issued by us or other insurance companies.

  • Shared - bought by more than one company.
  • Mixed - bought for annuities and life insurance.

It is possible that a conflict of interest may arise due to mixed and/or shared funding, which could adversely impact
the value of a fund. For example, if a conflict of interest occurred and one of the subaccounts withdrew its
investment in a fund, the fund may be forced to sell its securities at disadvantageous prices, causing its share value
to decrease. Each fund’s board of directors or trustees will monitor events to identify any conflicts which may arise
and to determine what action, if any, should be taken to address such conflicts.

Limits on Availability of Options. Some funds may be unavailable through your contract or plan or in some states.
We may add, withdraw or substitute funds, subject to the conditions in your contract and in compliance with
regulatory requirements. In the case of a substitution, the new fund may have different fees and charges than the
fund it replaced.

Transfers Among Variable Investment Options. You may transfer amounts among the available subaccounts. The
Company reserves the right to limit such transfers to 12 in any calendar year and to establish a minimum transfer
amount. Transfers are not allowed into or out of the fixed dollar option.

Transfer Requests. Requests may be made, after the contract is issued, in writing, by telephone or, where
applicable, electronically.

Limits on Frequent or Disruptive Transfers

The contract is not designed to serve as a vehicle for frequent transfers. Frequent transfer activity can disrupt
management of a fund and raise its expenses through:

  • Increased trading and transaction costs;
  • Forced and unplanned portfolio turnover;
  • Lost opportunity costs; and
ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 14



  • Large asset swings that decrease the fund’s ability to provide maximum investment return to all contract owners.

This in turn can have an adverse effect on fund performance. Accordingly, individuals or organizations that use
market-timing investment strategies or make frequent transfers should not purchase the contract.

Excessive Trading Policy. We and the other members of the ING family of companies that provide multi-fund
variable insurance and retirement products, have adopted a common Excessive Trading Policy to respond to the
demands of the various fund families that make their funds available through our products to restrict excessive fund
trading activity and to ensure compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the 1940 Act.

We actively monitor fund transfer and reallocation activity within our variable insurance products to identify
violations of our Excessive Trading Policy. Our Excessive Trading Policy is violated if fund transfer and
reallocation activity:

  • Meets or exceeds our current definition of Excessive Trading, as defined below; or
  • Is determined, in our sole discretion, to be disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance and retirement products.

We currently define Excessive Trading as:

  • More than one purchase and sale of the same fund (including money market funds) within a 60 calendar day period (hereinafter, a purchase and sale of the same fund is referred to as a “round-trip”). This means two or more round-trips involving the same fund within a 60 calendar day period would meet our definition of Excessive Trading; or
  • Six round-trips involving the same fund within a twelve month period.

The following transactions are excluded when determining whether trading activity is excessive:

  • Purchases or sales of shares related to non-fund transfers (for example, new purchase payments, withdrawals and loans);
  • Transfers associated with scheduled dollar cost averaging, scheduled rebalancing or scheduled asset allocation programs;
  • Purchases and sales of fund shares in the amount of $5,000 or less;
  • Purchases and sales of funds that affirmatively permit short-term trading in their fund shares, and movement between such funds and a money market fund; and
  • Transactions initiated by us, another member of the ING family of insurance companies or a fund.

If we determine that an individual or entity has made a purchase of a fund within 60 days of a prior round-trip
involving the same fund, we will send them a letter (once per year) warning that another sale of that same fund
within 60 days of the beginning of the prior round-trip will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result in a six
month suspension of their ability to initiate fund transfers or reallocations through the Internet, facsimile, Voice
Response Unit. (VRU), telephone calls to the ING Customer Service Center, or other electronic trading medium that
we may make available from time to time (“Electronic Trading Privileges”). Likewise, if we determine that an
individual or entity has made five round-trips involving the same fund within a rolling twelve month period, we will
send them a letter warning that another purchase and sale of that same fund within twelve months of the initial
purchase in the first round-trip in the prior twelve month period will be deemed to be Excessive Trading and result
in a suspension of their Electronic Trading Privileges. According to the needs of the various business units, a copy
of the warning letters may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 15



or reallocations, the agent/registered representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity. A copy of the
warning letters and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent to the fund whose shares
were involved in the trading activity.

If we determine that an individual or entity has violated our Excessive Trading Policy, we will send them a letter
stating that their Electronic Trading Privileges have been suspended for a period of six months. Consequently, all
fund transfers or reallocations, not just those which involve the fund whose shares were involved in the activity that
violated our Excessive Trading Policy, will then have to be initiated by providing written instructions to us via
regular U.S. mail. Suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges may also extend to products other than the product
through which the Excessive Trading activity occurred. During the six month suspension period, electronic “inquiry
only” privileges will be permitted where and when possible. A copy of the letter restricting future transfer and
reallocation activity to regular U.S. mail and details of the individual’s or entity’s trading activity may also be sent,
as applicable, to the person(s) or entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered
representative or investment adviser for that individual or entity and the fund whose shares were involved in the
activity that violated our Excessive Trading Policy.

Following the six month suspension period during which no additional violations of our Excessive Trading Policy
are identified, Electronic Trading Privileges may again be restored. We will continue to monitor the fund transfer
and reallocation activity, and any future violations of our Excessive Trading Policy will result in an indefinite
suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges. A violation of our Excessive Trading Policy during the six month
suspension period will also result in an indefinite suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges.

We reserve the right to suspend Electronic Trading Privileges with respect to any individual or entity, with or
without prior notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that the individual’s or entity’s trading activity is
disruptive or not in the best interests of other owners of our variable insurance products, regardless of whether the
individual’s or entity’s trading activity falls within the definition of Excessive Trading set forth above.

Our failure to send or an individual’s or entity’s failure to receive any warning letter or other notice contemplated
under our Excessive Trading Policy will not prevent us from suspending that individual’s or entity’s Electronic
Trading Privileges or taking any other action provided for in our Excessive Trading Policy.

We do not allow exceptions to our Excessive Trading Policy. We reserve the right to modify our Excessive Trading
Policy, or the policy as it relates to a particular fund, at any time without prior notice, depending on, among other
factors, the needs of the underlying fund(s), the best interests of contract owners and fund investors and/or state or
federal regulatory requirements. If we modify our policy, it will be applied uniformly to all contract owners or, as
applicable, to all contract owners investing in the underlying fund.

Our Excessive Trading Policy may not be completely successful in preventing market timing or excessive trading
activity. If it is not completely successful, fund performance and management may be adversely affected, as noted
above.

Limits Imposed by the Funds. Each underlying fund available through the variable insurance and retirement
products offered by us and/or the other members of the ING family of insurance companies, either by prospectus or
stated contract, has adopted or may adopt its own excessive/frequent trading policy, and orders for the purchase of
fund shares are subject to acceptance or rejection by the underlying fund. We reserve the right, without prior notice,
to implement fund purchase restrictions and/or limitations on an individual or entity that the fund has identified as
violating its excessive/frequent trading policy and to reject any allocation or transfer request to a subaccount if the
corresponding fund will not accept the allocation or transfer for any reason. All such restrictions and/or limitations
(which may include, but are not limited to, suspension of Electronic Trading Privileges and/or blocking of future
purchases of a fund or all funds within a fund family) will be done in accordance with the directions we receive from
the fund.

Agreements to Share Information with Fund Companies. As required by Rule 22c-2 under the 1940 Act, we
have entered into information sharing agreements with each of the fund companies whose funds are offered through
the contract. Contract owner trading information is shared under these agreements as necessary for the fund
companies to monitor fund trading and our implementation of our Excessive Trading Policy. Under these

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 16



agreements, the company is required to share information regarding contract owner transactions, including but not
limited to information regarding fund transfers initiated by you. In addition to information about contract owner
transactions, this information may include personal contract owner information, including names and social security
numbers or other tax identification numbers.

As a result of this information sharing, a fund company may direct us to restrict a contract owner’s transactions if
the fund determines that the contract owner has violated the fund’s excessive/frequent trading policy. This could
include the fund directing us to reject any allocations of premium or contract value to the fund or all funds within the
fund family.

Telephone and Electronic Transactions: Security Measures. To prevent fraudulent use of telephone and
electronic transactions (including, but not limited to, internet transactions), we have established security procedures.
These include recording calls on our toll-free telephone lines and requiring use of a personal identification number
(PIN) to execute transactions. You are responsible for keeping your PIN and account information confidential.
Please be advised that the risk of a fraudulent transaction is increased with telephone or electronic transaction (for
example, a facsimile withdrawal request form), even if appropriate identifying information is provided. If we fail to
follow reasonable security procedures, we may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent telephone or
other electronic transactions. We are not liable for losses resulting from telephone or electronic instructions we
believe to be genuine. If a loss occurs when we rely on such instructions, you will bear the loss.

FEES

The following repeats and adds to information provided under “Fee Table.” Please review both sections for
information on fees.

Transaction Fee

Early Withdrawal Charge
Withdrawals of all or a portion of the present value of remaining guaranteed income payments may be subject to an
early withdrawal charge. In the case of a partial withdrawal, the amount withdrawn from your account will be the
amount you specified plus adjustment for any applicable early withdrawal charge. Not all contracts permit
withdrawals. See “Withdrawals.”

Amount: The charge is a percentage of the present value of any remaining guaranteed payments that you withdraw.
The percentage will be determined by the early withdrawal charge schedule applicable to your contract. Although
the maximum early withdrawal charge is 7% of the remaining guaranteed payments withdrawn, the total early
withdrawal charge will never be more than 8½% of your purchase payment to the contract.

Early Withdrawal Charge Schedules

Schedule A: Subject to state approval, Schedule A applies to contracts issued on or after May 3, 1999.

  Schedule A  
Number of Years from    
Contract Effective Date*   Early Withdrawal Charge
Fewer than 1**   7%
1 or more but fewer than 2   6%
2 or more but fewer than 3   5%
3 or more but fewer than 4   4%
4 or more but fewer than 5   3%
5 or more but fewer than 6   2%
6 or more but fewer than 7   1%
7 or more   0%

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 17



Schedule B: Schedule B applies to contracts issued prior to May 3, 1999. It also applies to contracts issued on or
after May 3, 1999 in states where Schedule A is not approved as of the contract effective date.

Schedule B
Number of Years from    
Contract Effective Date*   Early Withdrawal Charge
Fewer than 1**   5%
1 or more, but fewer than 2   5%
2 or more, but fewer than 3   4%
3 or more, but fewer than 4   4%
4 or more, but fewer than 5   3%
5 or more, but fewer than 6   2%
6 or more, but fewer than 7   1%
7 or more   0%

*      For participants under a group contract, the early withdrawal charge will be calculated based on the number of years from the certificate effective date.
**      Certain contracts do not allow withdrawals during the first contract year.

When/How. At the time of withdrawal we deduct this charge from the amount withdrawn.

Purpose. This is a deferred sales charge. It reimburses us for some of the sales and administrative expenses
associated with the contract. If our expenses are greater than the amount we collect for the early withdrawal charge,
we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit that may arise from the mortality and expense risk
charge, to make up any difference.

Fees Deducted from Investments in the Separate Account

Mortality and Expense Risk Charge

Maximum Amount: 1.25% annually of values invested in the subaccounts.

When/How. We deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select.

Purpose. This charge compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the contract.

  • The mortality risks are those risks associated with our promise to make lifetime income payments based on annuity rates specified in the contract.
  • The expense risk is the risk that the actual expenses we incur under the contract will exceed the maximum costs that we can charge.

If the amount we deduct for this charge is not enough to cover our mortality costs and expenses under the contract,
we will bear the loss. We may use any excess to recover distribution costs relating to the contract and as a source of
profit. We expect to make a profit from this charge.

Administrative Expense Charge
Maximum Amount: We currently do not charge an administrative expense charge. We reserve, however, the right
to charge up to 0.25% annually of values invested in the subaccounts.

When/How. If imposed, we deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select.

Purpose. This charge helps defray our administrative expenses. This charge is not intended to exceed the average
expected cost of administering the contract. We do not expect to make a profit from this charge.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 18



Guaranteed Minimum Income Charge

This additional charge is assessed only if you select one of the guaranteed minimum income features.

Maximum Amount: 1.00% annually of values invested in the subaccounts.

When/How. We deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. If the
Lifetime Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature is selected, this charge will be assessed for the life of the contract. If
the Five Year Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature is selected, this charge will be assessed only during the first
five contract years.

Purpose. This charge compensates us for the additional mortality and expense risks we assume by guaranteeing
minimum income payments. For additional information regarding those risks, see “Mortality and Expense Risk
Charge—Purpose” above.

Reduction or Elimination of Certain Fees

When sales of the contract are made to individuals or a group of individuals in a manner that results in savings of
sales or administration expenses, we may reduce or eliminate the early withdrawal charge or mortality and expense
risk charge. Our decision to reduce or eliminate either of these charges will be based on one or more of the
following:

  • The size and type of group of individuals to whom the contract is issued;
  • A prior or existing relationship with the Company, such as being an employee or former employee of the Company or one of its affiliates, receiving distributions or making transfers from other contracts issued by us or one of our affiliates, or transferring amounts held under qualified plans sponsored by the Company or an affiliate; or
  • The type and frequency of administrative and sales services to be provided.

The reduction or elimination of any of these charges will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person and will
be done according to our rules in effect at the time the contract is issued. We reserve the right to change these rules
from time to time. The right to reduce or eliminate any of these charges may be subject to state approval.

Fund Fees


As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the “Fee Table – Fees Deducted by the Funds” section of this

prospectus, each fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to the fund. In addition, each fund
deducts other expenses which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service providers, including
the company and its affiliates, for administrative and contract owner services provided on behalf of the fund.
Furthermore, certain funds may deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is
primarily intended to result in the sale of fund shares. For a more complete description of the funds’ fees and
expenses, review each fund’s prospectus. You should evaluate the expenses associated with the funds available
through this contract before making a decision to invest.

The company may receive substantial revenue from each of the funds or from the funds’ affiliates, although the
amount and types of revenue vary with respect to each of the funds offered through the contract. This revenue is
one of several factors we consider when determining contract fees and charges and whether to offer a fund through
our contracts. Fund revenue is important to the company’s profitability, and it is generally more profitable
for us to offer affiliated funds than to offer unaffiliated funds.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 19




Assets allocated to affiliated funds, meaning funds managed by Directed Services LLC or another company affiliate,

generate the largest dollar amount of revenue for the company. Affiliated funds may also be subadvised by a
company affiliate or by an unaffiliated third party. Assets allocated to unaffiliated funds, meaning funds managed
by an unaffiliated third party, generate lesser, but still substantial dollar amounts of revenue for the company. The
company expects to make a profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the company’s expenses, including the
payment of sales compensation to our distributors.

Types of Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds.

The types of revenue received by the company from affiliated funds may include:

  • A share of the management fee deducted from fund assets;
  • Service fees that are deducted from fund assets;
  • For certain share classes, compensation paid out of 12b-1 fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
  • Other revenues that may be based either on an annual percentage of average net assets held in the fund by the company or a percentage of the fund’s management fees.

These revenues may be received as cash payments or according to a variety of financial accounting techniques that
are used to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. In the case of affiliated funds subadvised by
unaffiliated third parties, any sharing of the management fee between the company and the affiliated investment
adviser is based on the amount of such fee remaining after the subadvisory fee has been paid to the unaffiliated
subadviser. Because subadvisory fees vary by subadviser, varying amounts of revenue may be retained by the
affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the company. The company receives additional amounts
related to affiliated funds in the form of intercompany payments from the fund’s investment adviser or the
investment adviser’s parent. These revenues provide the company with a financial incentive to offer affiliated funds
through the contract rather than unaffiliated funds.

Types of Revenue Received from Unaffiliated Funds. Revenue received from each of the unaffiliated funds
or their affiliates is based on an annual percentage of the average net assets held in that fund by the company. Some
unaffiliated funds or their affiliates pay us more than others and some of the amounts we receive may be significant.

The types of revenues received by the company or its affiliates from unaffiliated funds include:

  • For certain funds, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from fund assets; and
  • Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services that we provide to the funds or their affiliates, such as processing purchase and redemption requests, and mailing fund prospectuses, periodic reports and proxy materials. These additional payments do not increase directly or indirectly the fees and expenses shown in each fund prospectus. These additional payments may be used by us to finance distribution of the contract.

These revenues are received as cash payments.

In addition to the types of revenue received from affiliated and unaffiliated funds described above, affiliated and
unaffiliated funds and their investment advisers, subadvisers or affiliates may participate at their own expense in
company sales conferences or educational and training meetings. In relation to such participation, a fund’s
investment adviser, subadviser or affiliate may help offset the cost of the meetings or sponsor events associated with
the meetings. In exchange for these expense offset or sponsorship arrangements, the investment adviser, subadviser
or affiliate may receive certain benefits and access opportunities to company sales representatives and wholesalers
rather than monetary benefits. These benefits and opportunities include, but are not limited to, co-branded marketing

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 20



materials, targeted marketing sales opportunities, training opportunities at meetings, training modules for sales
personnel and opportunity to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers.

No unaffiliated funds are currently offered through the contract.

Certain funds are designated as “Master-Feeder” Funds. Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure (such as the ING
American Funds) may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities.
These funds may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities
because they also incur the fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which they invest. These funds are
affiliated funds, and the underlying funds in which they invest may be affiliated funds as well. The fund
prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each portfolio and its corresponding underlying
fund or funds. The “Master Feeder” funds available under the contract are identified in the list of investment
portfolios toward the front of this prospectus.

Please note that certain management personnel and other employees of the company or its affiliates may receive a
portion of their total employment compensation based on the amount of net assets allocated to affiliated funds. For
more information, please see “Other Topics – Contract Distribution.”

Premium and Other Taxes

Maximum Amount. Some states and municipalities charge a premium tax on annuities. These taxes currently range
from 0% to 4%, depending upon the jurisdiction.

When/How. Our current practice is to reflect the cost of premium taxes in our income payment rates. We reserve
the right, however, to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your purchase payment on the contract effective date.
We will not deduct a charge for any municipal premium tax of 1% or less, but we reserve the right to reflect such an
expense in our annuity purchase rates.


In addition, we reserve the right to assess a charge for any federal taxes due against the separate account. See

“Federal Tax Considerations.”

DEATH BENEFIT

The following describes the death benefit applicable to variable income payments. These are also outlined under
“Income Payments—Payment Options.” For information on the death benefit applicable to the fixed dollar option,
refer to Appendix I.

See “Income Payments” for a definition of annuitant and beneficiary as used in this section.

Payment of Death Benefit. Upon the death of the annuitant and any surviving joint annuitant, if applicable, a death
benefit may be payable if your contract is issued under any of the following income payment options:

1.      Life Income - Guaranteed Payments;
2.      Life Income - Two Lives — Guaranteed Payments; or
3.      Nonlifetime - Guaranteed Payments.

Any death benefit will be paid in the form specified in the contract and will be distributed at least as rapidly as under
the method of distribution in effect upon the date of death. See “Federal Tax Considerations” for rules where you
have elected to delay your payment start date under a nonqualified annuity and you die before the income payment
start date. Under payment options 1 and 2 above, a lump-sum payment of the present value of any death benefit may
be requested within six months following the date of death. A lump-sum payment may be requested at any time
(even after the six month period) if you had elected the right to withdraw. Under payment option 3 above, a lump-

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 21



sum payment of the present value of any death benefit may be requested at any time. If a lump-sum payment is
requested, no early withdrawal charge is applied and payment will be sent within seven days following our receipt of
your request in good order.

Calculation of Lump-Sum Payment of the Death Benefit. The value of the lump-sum payment of the death
benefit will equal the present value of any remaining guaranteed income payments, calculated using the same rate
we used to calculate the income payments (i.e., the 3½% or 5% assumed annual net return rate used for variable
payments). We will calculate this value on the next valuation date following our receipt of proof of death acceptable
to us and payment request in good order. Such value will reflect any payments made after the date of death. See
“Appendix I- Fixed Dollar Option” for information on calculation of a lump-sum payment of the death benefit
applicable to the fixed dollar option.

Who Receives Death Benefit Proceeds? The beneficiary is the person entitled to receive any death benefit
proceeds. We will pay any death benefit proceeds based on the last written beneficiary designation on file at our
Customer Service Center as of the date of death.

Changes in Beneficiary Designations. The designated beneficiary may be changed at any time during the lifetime
of the annuitant and the joint annuitant (if applicable). Such change must be submitted to us in writing, and except
for contracts issued in New York, will become effective as of the date written notice of the change is received and
recorded by us. For contracts issued in New York, the change will become effective as of the date the notice is
signed. However, our obligation to pay death benefits will be fully discharged upon payment to the beneficiary
named in the written notice of beneficiary designation that we last received as of the date of such payment.

Some restrictions may apply to beneficiary changes under qualified contracts.

WITHDRAWALS

Withdrawals of Variable Income Payments

You may make partial or full withdrawals of the present value of any remaining guaranteed variable income
payments if you are receiving payments under either one of the following:

  • A lifetime payment option with guaranteed payments and you elected a right to make withdrawals. In this circumstance withdrawals are allowed once each year, beginning after the first contract year (subject to state approval).
  • The nonlifetime payment option.

Partial withdrawals are allowed only if each remaining guaranteed payment will be at least $50. If you selected the
Lifetime Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature, you may not make any withdrawals.

Withdrawals of Fixed Income Payments
(For additional details see “Appendix I- Fixed Dollar Option.”)

You may make partial or full withdrawals of the present value of any remaining fixed income payments if you are
receiving payments under either one of the following:

  • A lifetime payment option with guaranteed payments and you elected a right to make withdrawals. In this circumstance withdrawals are allowed once each year, beginning after the first contract year (subject to state approval).
  • The nonlifetime payment option and you elected a right to make withdrawals. In this circumstance withdrawals are allowed once each year, beginning after the first contract year.
ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 22



Partial withdrawals are allowed only if each remaining guaranteed payment will be at least $50.

Withdrawal Value

Variable Income Payments. For any withdrawal of remaining variable guaranteed income payments, the amount
available for withdrawal is equal to the present value of any remaining guaranteed variable payments (less any
applicable early withdrawal charge) calculated using the same rate we used to calculate the income payments (i.e.,
the 3½% or 5% assumed annual net return rate stated in your contract). Withdrawal values are determined as of the
valuation date following our receipt of your written request in good order at our Customer Service Center.

Fixed Income Payments. See “Appendix I – Fixed Dollar Option” for details regarding the withdrawal value of
fixed payments.

Early Withdrawal Charge

Withdrawals may be subject to an early withdrawal charge as described in “Fees – Early Withdrawal Charge.”

Reduction of Remaining Payments

Any withdrawal will result in a proportionate reduction of any remaining guaranteed payments and any applicable
guaranteed minimum payment amount. Additionally, the withdrawal amount will be taken from the subaccounts
proportionately, unless you designate otherwise. For lifetime income payment options, any payments to be made
beyond the guaranteed payment period will be unaffected by any withdrawals.

FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS

Introduction
This section discusses our understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the contract. Federal income
tax treatment of the contract is complex and sometimes uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when
reading it:

  • Your tax position (or the tax position of the designated beneficiary, as applicable) determines federal taxation of amounts held or paid out under the contract;
  • Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect contracts issued in the past;
  • This section addresses some but not all applicable federal income tax rules and does not discuss federal estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes, or any other tax provisions; and
  • We do not make any guarantee about the tax treatment of the contract or transactions involving the contract.


We do not intend this information to be tax advice. For advice about the effect of federal income taxes or any other

taxes on amounts held or paid out under the contract, consult a tax adviser.

Types of Contracts: Non-Qualified or Qualified
The contract may be purchased on a non-tax-qualified basis (non-qualified contracts) or purchased on a tax-qualified
basis (qualified contracts).

Non-qualified contracts are purchased with after tax contributions and are not related to retirement plans that receive
special income tax treatment under the Tax Code.

Qualified contracts are designed for use by individuals whose premium payments are comprised solely of proceeds
from and/or contributions under retirement plans that are intended to qualify for special income tax treatment under
Sections 401, 408 or 408A, and some provisions of 403 and 457 of the Tax Code.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 23



Effective January 1, 2009, except in the case of a rollover contribution as permitted under the Tax Code or as a
result of an intra-plan exchange or plan-to-plan transfer described under the Final Regulations, contributions to a
section 403(b) tax sheltered annuity contract may only be made by the Employer sponsoring the Plan under which
the assets in your contract are covered subject to the applicable Treasury Regulations and only if the Company, in its
sole discretion, agrees to be an approved provider.

Taxation of Non-Qualified Contracts


Premiums

You may not deduct the amount of your premiums to a non-qualified contract.

Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution
Tax Code Section 72 governs taxation of annuities in general. We believe that if you are a natural person you
will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of a non-qualified contract until a distribution occurs or until
annuity payments begin. This assumes that the contract will qualify as an annuity contract for federal income tax
purposes. For these purposes, the agreement to assign or pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be
treated as a distribution. In order to be eligible to receive deferral of taxation, the following requirements must be
satisfied:

Diversification. Tax Code Section 817(h) requires that in a nonqualified contract the investments of the
funds be “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations in order for the contract to qualify as an
annuity contract under federal tax law. The separate account, through the funds, intends to comply with the
diversification requirements prescribed by Tax Code Section 817(h) and by the Treasury in Reg. Sec. 1.817-5,
which affects how the funds’ assets may be invested. If it is determined, however, that your contract does not satisfy
the applicable diversification requirements and rulings because a subaccount’s corresponding fund fails to be
adequately diversified for whatever reason, we will take appropriate steps to bring your contract into compliance
with such regulations and rulings, and we reserve the right to modify your contract as necessary to do so.


Investor Control.
Although earnings under non-qualified contracts are generally not taxed until
withdrawn, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has stated in published rulings that a variable contract owner will be
considered the owner of separate account assets if the contract owner possesses incidents of investment control over
the assets. In these circumstances, income and gains from the separate account assets would be currently includible
in the variable contract owner’s gross income. Future guidance regarding the extent to which owners could direct
their investments among subaccounts without being treated as owners of the underlying assets of the separate
account may adversely affect the tax treatment of existing contracts. The Company therefore reserves the right to
modify the contract as necessary to attempt to prevent the contract holder from being considered the federal tax
owner of a pro rata share of the assets of the separate account.

Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the
Tax Code requires any non-qualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the
contract will be distributed in the event of your death. The non-qualified contracts contain provisions that are
intended to comply with these Tax Code requirements, although no regulations interpreting these requirements have
yet been issued. When such requirements are clarified by regulation or otherwise, we intend to review such
distribution provisions and modify them if necessary to assure that they comply with the applicable requirements.

Non-Natural Holders of a Non-Qualified Contract. If you are not a natural person, a non-qualified
contract generally is not treated as an annuity for income tax purposes and the income on the contract for the taxable
year is currently taxable as ordinary income. Income on the contract is any increase in the contract value over the
“investment in the contract” (generally, the premiums or other consideration you paid for the contract less any
nontaxable withdrawals) during the taxable year. There are some exceptions to this rule and a non-natural person
should consult with its tax adviser prior to purchasing the contract. When the contract owner is not a natural person,
a change in the annuitant is treated as the death of the contract owner.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 24



Delayed Annuity Starting Date. If the contract’s annuity starting date occurs (or is scheduled to occur) at
a time when the annuitant has reached an advanced age (e.g., after age 85), it is possible that the contract would not
be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes. In that event, the income and gains under the contract could
be currently includible in your income.

Taxation of Distributions


General.
When a withdrawal from a non-qualified contract occurs, the amount received will be treated as
ordinary income subject to tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced by the
amount of any surrender charge) immediately before the distribution over the contract owner’s investment in the
contract at that time. Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all premiums to the contract, plus
amounts previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, assignments or gifts, less the
aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions previously made.

In the case of a surrender under a non-qualified contract, the amount received generally will be taxable only to the
extent it exceeds the contract owner’s investment in the contract (cost basis).

10% Penalty Tax. A distribution from a non-qualified contract may be subject to a federal tax penalty
equal to 10% of the amount treated as income. In general, however, there is no penalty on distributions:

  • Made on or after the taxpayer reaches age 59½;
  • Made on or after the death of a contract owner (the annuitant if the contract owner is a non-natural person);
  • Attributable to the taxpayer’s becoming disabled as defined in the Tax Code;
  • Made as part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary; or
  • The distribution is allocable to investment in the contract before August 14, 1982.

The 10% penalty does not apply to distributions from an immediate annuity as defined in the Tax Code. Other
exceptions may be applicable under certain circumstances and special rules may be applicable in connection with
the exceptions enumerated above. A tax adviser should be consulted with regard to exceptions from the penalty tax.

Tax-Free Exchanges. Section 1035 of the Tax Code permits the exchange of a life insurance, endowment
or annuity contract for an annuity contract on a tax-free basis. In such instance, the “investment in the contract” in
the old contract will carry over to the new contract. You should consult with your tax advisor regarding procedures
for making Section 1035 exchanges.

If your contract is purchased through a tax-free exchange of a life insurance, endowment or annuity contract that
was purchased prior to August 14, 1982, then any distributions other than annuity payments will be treated, for tax
purposes, as coming:

  • First, from any remaining “investment in the contract” made prior to August 14, 1982 and exchanged into the contract;
  • Next, from any “income on the contract” attributable to the investment made prior to August 14, 1982;
  • Then, from any remaining “income on the contract;” and
  • Lastly, from any remaining “investment in the contract.”

The IRS has concluded that in certain instances, the partial exchange of a portion of one annuity contract for another
contract will be tax-free. Pursuant to IRS guidance, receipt of withdrawals, surrenders or annuity payments
(annuitizations) from either the original contract or the new contract during the 12 month period following the
partial exchange may retroactively negate the partial exchange. If the partial exchange is retroactively negated, the
partial surrender of the original contract will be treated as a withdrawal, taxable as ordinary income to the extent of
gain in the original contract and, if the partial exchange occurred prior to you reaching age 59½, may be subject to
an additional 10% tax penalty. A taxable event may be avoided if requirements identified as a qualifying event are
satisfied. We are not responsible for the manner in which any other insurance company, for tax reporting purposes,
or the IRS, with respect to the ultimate tax treatment, recognizes or reports a partial exchange. We strongly advise

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 25



you to discuss any proposed 1035 exchange or subsequent distribution within 12 months with your tax advisor prior
to proceeding with the transaction.

Taxation of Annuity Payments. Although tax consequences may vary depending on the payment option
elected under an annuity contract, a portion of each annuity payment is generally not taxed and the remainder is
taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment is generally determined in a manner that is
designed to allow you to recover your investment in the contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected stream
of annuity payments, as determined when annuity payments start. Once your investment in the contract has been
fully recovered, however, the full amount of each subsequent annuity payment is subject to tax as ordinary income.

The tax treatment of partial annuitizations is unclear. We currently treat any partial annuitizations as withdrawals
rather than as annuity payments. Please consult your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization.

Death Benefits. Amounts may be distributed from a contract because of your death or the death of the
annuitant. Generally, such amounts are includible in the income of the recipient as follows: (i) if distributed in a
lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the contract, or (ii) if distributed under a payment
option, they are taxed in the same way as annuity payments. Special rules may apply to amounts distributed after a
Beneficiary has elected to maintain contract value and receive payments.

Different distribution requirements apply if your death occurs:

  • After you begin receiving annuity payments under the contract; or
  • Before you begin receiving such distributions.

If your death occurs after you begin receiving annuity payments, distributions must be made at least as rapidly as
under the method in effect at the time of your death.


If your death occurs before you begin receiving annuity payments, your entire balance must be distributed within

five years after the date of your death. For example, if you died on September 1, 2009, your entire balance must be
distributed by August 31, 2014. However, if distributions begin within one year of your death, then payments may
be made over one of the following timeframes:

  • Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or
  • Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary.

If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, the contract may be continued with the surviving spouse as the new
contract owner. If the contract owner is a non-natural person and the primary annuitant dies, the same rules apply on
the death of the primary annuitant as outlined above for the death of a contract owner.

The contract offers a death benefit that may exceed the greater of the premium payments and the contract value.
Certain charges are imposed with respect to the death benefit. It is possible that these charges (or some portion
thereof) could be treated for federal tax purposes as a distribution from the contract.

Assignments and Other Transfers. A transfer, pledge or assignment of ownership of a non-qualified
contract, the selection of certain annuity dates, or the designation of an annuitant or payee other than an owner may
result in certain tax consequences to you that are not discussed herein. The assignment, pledge or agreement to
assign or pledge any portion of the contract value generally will be treated as a distribution. Anyone contemplating
any such transfer, pledge, assignment, or designation or exchange, should consult a tax adviser regarding the
potential tax effects of such a transaction.

Immediate Annuities. Under Section 72 of the Tax Code, an immediate annuity means an annuity (1)
which is purchased with a single premium, (2) with annuity payments starting within one year from the date of
purchase, and (3) which provides a series of substantially equal periodic payments made annually or more
frequently. While this contract is not designed as an immediate annuity, treatment as an immediate annuity would
have significance with respect to exceptions from the 10% early withdrawal penalty, to contracts owned by non-
natural persons, and for certain exchanges.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 26



Multiple Contracts. Tax laws require that all non-qualified deferred annuity contracts that are issued by a
company or its affiliates to the same contract owner during any calendar year be treated as one annuity contract for
purposes of determining the amount includible in gross income under Tax Code Section 72(e). In addition, the
Treasury Department has specific authority to issue regulations that prevent the avoidance of Tax Code Section
72(e) through the serial purchase of annuity contracts or otherwise.

Withholding. We will withhold and remit to the IRS a part of the taxable portion of each distribution made
under a contract unless the distributee notifies us at or before the time of the distribution that he or she elects not to
have any amounts withheld. Withholding is mandatory, however, if the distributee fails to provide a valid taxpayer
identification number or if we are notified by the IRS that the taxpayer identification number we have on file is
incorrect. The withholding rates applicable to the taxable portion of periodic annuity payments are the same as the
withholding rates generally applicable to payments of wages. In addition, a 10% withholding rate applies to the
taxable portion of non-periodic payments. Regardless of whether you elect to have federal income tax withheld, you
are still liable for payment of federal income tax on the taxable portion of the payment.

Certain states have indicated that state income tax withholding will also apply to payments from the contracts made
to residents. Generally, an election out of federal withholding will also be considered an election out of state
withholding. In some states, you may elect out of state withholding, even if federal withholding applies. If you need
more information concerning a particular state or any required forms, please contact our Customer Service Center.

If you or your designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is governed by Tax Code Section
1441 based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status, and we may require additional
documentation prior to processing any requested transaction.

Taxation of Qualified Contracts

General
The contracts are primarily designed for use with IRAs under Tax Code Sections 401, 408 or 408A, and some
provisions of 403 and 457 (We refer to all of these as “qualified plans”). The tax rules applicable to participants in
these qualified plans vary according to the type of plan and the terms and conditions of the plan itself. The ultimate
effect of federal income taxes on the amounts held under a contract, or on annuity payments, depends on the type of
retirement plan and your tax status. Special favorable tax treatment may be available for certain types of
contributions and distributions. In addition, certain requirements must be satisfied in purchasing a qualified contract
with proceeds from a tax-qualified plan in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment.

Adverse tax consequences may result from: contributions in excess of specified limits; distributions before age 59½
(subject to certain exceptions); distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum
distribution rules; and in other specified circumstances. Some qualified plans may be subject to additional
distribution or other requirements that are not incorporated into the contract. No attempt is made to provide more
than general information about the use of the contracts with qualified plans. Contract owners, annuitants, and
beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under these qualified plans may be subject to
the terms and conditions of the plans themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions of the contract. The
Company is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms contradict the contract,
unless we consent.

Contract owners and beneficiaries generally are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and
other transactions with respect to the contract comply with applicable law. Therefore, you should seek competent
legal and tax advice regarding the suitability of a contract for your particular situation. The following discussion
assumes that qualified contracts are purchased with proceeds from and/or contributions under retirement plans or
programs that qualify for the intended special federal tax treatment.

Tax Deferral
Under the federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are
withdrawn. However, in the case of a qualified plan (as defined in this prospectus), an annuity contract is not
necessary to obtain this favorable tax treatment and does not provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 27



available to the qualified plan itself. Annuities do provide other features and benefits (such as guaranteed living
benefits and/or death benefits or the option of lifetime income phase options at established rates) that may be
valuable to you. You should discuss your alternatives with your financial representative taking into account the
additional fees and expenses you may incur in an annuity.

Section 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), and 403(a) Plans. Sections 401(a), 401(k), and 403(a) of the Tax
Code permit certain employers to establish various types of retirement plans for employees, and permits self-
employed individuals to establish these plans for themselves and their employees. These retirement plans may
permit the purchase of contracts to accumulate retirement savings under the plans. Employers intending to use the
contract with such plans should seek competent legal advice.

The contracts may also be available as a Roth 401(k), as described in Tax Code Section 402A, and we may set up
accounts for you under the contract for Roth 401(k) contributions (“Roth 401(k) accounts”). Tax Code Section 402A
allows employees of certain private employers to contribute after-tax salary contributions to a Roth 401(k), which
provides for tax-free distributions, subject to certain restrictions.

Individual Retirement Annuities. Section 408 of the Tax Code permits eligible individuals to contribute
to an individual retirement program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity (“IRA”). IRAs are subject to limits
on the amounts that can be contributed, the deductible amount of the contribution, the persons who may be eligible,
and the time when distributions commence. Contributions to IRAs must be made in cash or as a rollover or a transfer
from another eligible plan. Also, distributions from IRAs, individual retirement accounts, and other types of
retirement plans may be “rolled over” on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. If you make a tax-free rollover of a
distribution from an IRA you may not make another tax-free rollover from the IRA within a 1-year period. Sales of
the contract for use with IRAs may be subject to special requirements of the IRS.

The IRS has not reviewed the contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as IRAs and has not addressed,
in a ruling of general applicability, whether the contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification
requirements.

Roth IRAs. Section 408A of the Tax Code permits certain eligible individuals to contribute to a Roth IRA.
Contributions to a Roth IRA are subject to limits on the amount of contributions and the persons who may be
eligible to contribute, are not deductible, and must be made in cash or as a rollover or transfer from another Roth
IRA or other IRA. Certain qualifying individuals may convert an IRA, SEP, or a SIMPLE to a Roth IRA. Such
rollovers and conversions are subject to tax, and other special rules may apply. If you make a tax-free rollover of a
distribution from a Roth IRA to another Roth IRA, you may not make another tax-free rollover from the Roth IRA
within a 1-year period. A 10% penalty may apply to amounts attributable to a conversion to a Roth IRA if the
amounts are distributed during the five taxable years beginning with the year in which the conversion was made.

Sales of a contract for use with a Roth IRA may be subject to special requirements of the IRS. The IRS has not
reviewed the contracts described in this prospectus for qualification as IRAs and has not addressed, in a ruling of
general applicability, whether the contract’s death benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification requirements.

Section 403(b) Tax-Sheltered Annuities. The contracts are no longer available for purchase as Tax Code
section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities. Existing contracts issued as Tax Code section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities
will continue to be maintained as such under the applicable rules and regulations.

The Treasury Department has issued regulations which generally take effect on January 1, 2009. Existing contracts
will be modified as necessary to comply with these regulations where allowed, or where required by law in order to
maintain their status as section 403(b) tax-sheltered annuities. The final regulations include: (a) the ability to
terminate a 403(b) plan, which would entitle a participant to a distribution; (b) the revocation of IRS Revenue
Ruling 90-24, and the resulting increase in restrictions on a participant’s right to transfer his or her 403(b) accounts;
and (c) the imposition of withdrawal restrictions on non-salary reduction contribution amounts, as well as other
changes.

Contributions
In order to be excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, total annual contributions to
certain qualified plans are limited by the Tax Code. You should consult with your tax adviser in connection with
contributions to a qualified contract.

Distributions – General
Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the contract. A distribution is any amount taken from a contract
including withdrawals, annuity payments, rollovers, exchanges and death benefit proceeds. We report the taxable
portion of all distributions to the IRS.

Section 401(a), 401(k) and 403(a) Plans. Distributions from these plans are taxed as received unless one
of the following is true:

  • The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is rolled over to another plan eligible to receive rollovers or to a traditional IRA in accordance with the Tax Code;
  • You made after-tax contributions to the plan. In this case, depending upon the type of distribution, the amount will be taxed according to the rules detailed in the Tax Code; or
  • The distribution is a qualified health insurance premium of a retired safety officer as defined in the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

A payment is an eligible rollover distribution unless it is:

  • Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least one per year) made over the life expectancy of the participant or the joint life expectancy of the participant and his designated beneficiary or for a specified period of 10 years or more;
  • A required minimum distribution under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9);
  • A hardship withdrawal;
  • Otherwise excludable from income; or
  • Not recognized under applicable regulations as eligible for rollover.

The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a contract used with a
401(a), 401(k) or 403(a) plan unless certain exceptions, including one or more of the following, have occurred:

  • You have attained age 59½;
  • You have become disabled, as defined in the Tax Code;
  • You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary;
  • You have separated from service with the sponsor at or after age 55;
  • The distribution amount is rolled over into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;
  • You have separated from service with the plan sponsor and the distribution amount is made in substantially equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or the life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary;
  • The distribution is made due to an IRS levy upon your plan;
  • The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO); or
  • The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution as defined under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (401(k) plans only).

In addition, the 10% penalty tax does not apply to the amount of a distribution equal to unreimbursed medical
expenses incurred by you during the taxable year that qualify for deduction as specified in the Tax Code. The Tax
Code may provide other exceptions or impose other penalties in other circumstances.

Individual Retirement Annuities. All distributions from an IRA are taxed as received unless either one of
the following is true:

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 29



  • The distribution is rolled over to another IRA or to a plan eligible to receive rollovers as permitted under the Tax Code; or
  • You made after-tax contributions to the IRA. In this case, the distribution will be taxed according to rules detailed in the Tax Code.

The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from an IRA unless certain
exceptions, including one or more of the following, have occurred:

  • You have attained age 59½;
  • You have become disabled, as defined in the Tax Code;
  • You have died and the distribution is to your beneficiary;
  • The distribution amount is rolled over into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA in accordance with the terms of the Tax Code;
  • The distribution is made due to an IRS levy upon your plan;
  • The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a QDRO; or
  • The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution as defined under the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

In addition, the 10% penalty tax does not apply to a distribution made from an IRA to pay for health insurance
premiums for certain unemployed individuals, a qualified first-time home purchase, or for higher education
expenses.

Roth IRAs. A qualified distribution from a Roth IRA is not taxed when it is received. A qualified
distribution is a distribution:

  • Made after the five-taxable year period beginning with the first taxable year for which a contribution was made to a Roth IRA of the owner; and
  • Made after you attain age 59½, die, become disabled as defined in the Tax Code, or for a qualified first- time home purchase.

If a distribution is not qualified, generally it will be taxable to the extent of the accumulated earnings. A partial
distribution will first be treated as a return of contributions which is not taxable and then as taxable accumulated
earnings.

The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a Roth IRA that is not a
qualified distribution unless certain exceptions have occurred. In general, the exceptions for an IRA listed above
also apply to a distribution from a Roth IRA that is not a qualified distribution or a rollover to a Roth IRA that is not
a qualified rollover contribution. The 10% penalty tax is also waived on a distribution made from a Roth IRA to pay
for health insurance premiums for certain unemployed individuals, used for a qualified first-time home purchase, or
for higher education expenses.

403(b) Plans. Distributions from your contract are subject to the requirements of Tax Code Section 403(b),
the Treasury Regulations, and, if applicable, the Plan under which the assets in your contract are covered. In
accordance with Tax Code Section 403(b) and the Treasury Regulations, we have no responsibility or obligation to
make any distribution (including distributions due to loans, annuity payouts, qualified domestic relations orders,
hardship withdrawals and systematic distributions options) from your contract until we have received instructions or
information from your Employer and/or its designee or, if permitted under Tax Code Section 403(b) and the
Treasury Regulations, you in a form acceptable to us and necessary for us to administer your contract in accordance
with Tax Code Section 403(b), the Treasury Regulations, and, if applicable, the Plan.

All distributions from these plans are taxed as received unless one of the following is true:

  • The distribution is an eligible rollover distribution and is rolled over to another plan eligible to receive rollovers or to a traditional IRA in accordance with the Tax Code;
  • You made after-tax contributions to the plan. In this case, depending upon the type of distribution, the amount will be taxed according to the rules detailed in the Tax Code; or
ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 30



  • The distribution is a qualified health insurance premium of a retired public safety officer as defined in the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

A payment is an eligible rollover distribution unless it is:

  • Part of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (at least one per year) made over the life expectancy of the participant or the joint life expectancy of the participant and his designated beneficiary or for a specified period of 10 years or more;
  • A required minimum distribution under Tax Code Section 401(a)(9);
  • A hardship withdrawal;
  • Otherwise excludable from income; or
  • Not recognized under applicable regulations as eligible for rollover.

The Tax Code imposes a 10% penalty tax on the taxable portion of any distribution from a contract used with a
403(b) plan, unless certain exceptions have occurred. In general, the exceptions for an IRA listed above also apply to
a distribution from a 403(b) plan, plus in the event you have separated from service with the sponsor at or after age
55, or you have separated from service with the plan sponsor and the distribution amount is made in substantially
equal periodic payments (at least annually) over your life or the life expectancy or the joint lives or joint life
expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary. In addition, the 10% penalty tax does not apply to the amount
of a distribution equal to unreimbursed medical expenses incurred by you during the taxable year that qualify for
deduction as specified in the Tax Code. The Tax Code may provide other exceptions or impose other penalty taxes
in other circumstances.

Distribution of amounts restricted under Tax Code Section 403(b)(11) may only occur upon your death, attainment
of age 59½, severance from employment, disability or financial hardship. Such distributions remain subject to other
applicable restrictions under the Tax Code and the regulations.


Special Disaster Relief.
In 2005, 2007 and 2008 Congress temporarily provided taxpayers with certain
kinds of relief which eased the complex rules covering withdrawals by individuals who suffered economic losses
due to natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma as well as tornados and floods. Please consult a
qualified tax adviser for further information if there is any question as to whether such relief is available.

Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (Sections 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a), 403(b) and
IRAs only).

To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any designated beneficiary must also meet the minimum
distribution requirements imposed by the Tax Code. These rules may dictate the following:

  • Start date for distributions;
  • The time period in which all amounts in your account(s) must be distributed; and
  • Distribution amounts.

Start Date and Time Period. Generally, you must begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the
calendar year following the calendar year in which you attain age 70½. We must pay out distributions from the
contract over a period not extending beyond one of the following time periods:

  • Over your life or the joint lives of you and your designated beneficiary; or
  • Over a period not greater than your life expectancy or the joint life expectancies of you and your designated beneficiary.

Distribution Amounts. The amount of each required distribution must be calculated in accordance
with Tax Code Section 401(a)(9). The entire interest in the account includes the amount of any outstanding rollover,
transfer, recharacterization, if applicable, and the actuarial present value of other benefits provided under the
account, such as guaranteed death benefits.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 31



50% Excise Tax. If you fail to receive the minimum required distribution for any tax year, a 50%
excise tax may be imposed on the required amount that was not distributed.

Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions are not applicable to Roth IRAs during your lifetime. Further information
regarding required minimum distributions may be found in your contract.

Required Distributions Upon Death (Sections 401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a), 403(b), IRAs and
Roth IRAs Only). Different distribution requirements apply after your death, depending upon if you have been
receiving required minimum distributions. Further information regarding required distributions upon death may be
found in your contract.

If your death occurs on or after you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract, distributions
generally must be made at least as rapidly as under the method in effect at the time of your death. Tax Code Section
401(a)(9) provides specific rules for calculating the required minimum distributions after your death.


If your death occurs before you begin receiving minimum distributions under the contract, your entire balance must

be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of your death. For
example, if you died on September 1, 2009, your entire balance must be distributed to the designated beneficiary by
December 31, 2014. However, if distributions begin by December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar
year of your death, and you have named a designated beneficiary, then payments may be made over either of the
following time frames:

  • Over the life of the designated beneficiary; or
  • Over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary.

Start Dates for Spousal Beneficiaries. If the designated beneficiary is your spouse, distributions must
begin on or before the later of the following:

  • December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death; or
  • December 31 of the calendar year in which you would have attained age 70½.

No Designated Beneficiary. If there is no designated beneficiary, the entire interest generally must be
distributed by the end of the calendar containing the fifth anniversary of the contract owner’s death.

Special Rule for IRA Spousal Beneficiaries (IRAs and Roth IRAs Only). In lieu of taking a
distribution under these rules, if the sole designated beneficiary is the contract owner’s surviving spouse, the spousal
beneficiary may elect to treat the contract as his or her own IRA and defer taking a distribution until his or her own
start date. The surviving spouse is deemed to have made such an election if the surviving spouse makes a rollover to
or from the contract or fails to take a distribution within the required time period.

Withholding
Any taxable distributions under the contract are generally subject to withholding. Federal income tax liability
rates vary according to the type of distribution and the recipient’s tax status.

401(a), 401(k), Roth 401(k), 403(a) and 403(b). Generally, distributions from these plans are subject to
mandatory 20% federal income tax withholding. However, mandatory withholding will not be required if you elect a
direct rollover of the distributions to an eligible retirement plan or in the case of certain distributions described in the
Tax Code.

IRAs and Roth IRAs. Generally, you or, if applicable, a designated beneficiary may elect not to have tax
withheld from distributions.

Non-resident Aliens. If you or your designated beneficiary is a non-resident alien, then any withholding is
governed by Tax Code section 1441 based on the individual’s citizenship, the country of domicile and treaty status,
and we may require additional documentation prior to processing any requested distribution.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 32



Assignment and Other Transfers

IRAS and Roth IRAs. The Tax Code does not allow a transfer or assignment of your rights under these
contracts except in limited circumstances. Adverse tax consequences may result if you assign or transfer your
interest in the contract to persons other than your spouse incident to a divorce. Anyone contemplating such an
assignment or transfer should contact a qualified tax adviser regarding the potential tax effects of such a transaction.

Section 403(b) Plans. Adverse tax consequences to the plan and/or to you may result if your beneficial
interest in the contract is assigned or transferred to persons other than:

  • A plan participant as a means to provide benefit payments;
  • An alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order in accordance with Tax Code Section 414(p); or
  • The Company as collateral for a loan.

Tax Consequences of Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature

Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the contract, plus amounts
previously included in your gross income as the result of certain loans, assignments, or gifts, less the aggregate
amount of non-taxable distributions previously made. For nonqualified contracts, the income on the contract for
purposes of calculating the taxable amount of a distribution may be unclear. For example, the living benefits
provided under the Guaranteed Minimum Income Feature could increase the contract value that applies. Thus, the
income on the contract could be higher than the amount of income that would be determined without regard to such
a benefit. As a result, you could have higher amounts of income than will be reported to you. In addition, payments
under any guaranteed payment phase of such riders after the contract value has been reduced to zero may be subject
to the exclusion ratio rules under Tax Code Section 72(b) for tax purposes.

The tax treatment of partial annuitizations is unclear. We currently treat any partial annuitization, such as those
associated with the minimum guaranteed income benefit as withdrawals rather than annuity payments. Please
consult your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization.

Possible Changes in Taxation
Although the likelihood of legislative change and tax reform is uncertain, there is always the possibility that the tax
treatment of the contracts could change by legislation or other means. It is also possible that any change could be
retroactive (that is, effective before the date of the change). You should consult a tax adviser with respect to
legislative developments and their effect on the contract.


Same-Sex Marriages

Pursuant to Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same-sex marriages currently are not
recognized for purposes of federal law. Therefore, the favorable income-deferral options afforded by federal tax law
to an opposite-sex spouse under Code sections 72(s) and 401(a)(9) are currently NOT available to a same-sex
spouse. Same-sex spouses who own or are considering the purchase of annuity products that provide benefits based
upon status as a spouse should consult a tax advisor. In certain states, to the extent that an annuity contract or
certificate accords to spouses other rights or benefits that are not affected by DOMA, same-sex spouses remain
entitled to such rights or benefits to the same extent as any Contract Owner’s spouse.

Taxation of Company
We are taxed as a life insurance company under the Tax Code. The Separate Account is not a separate entity from
us. Therefore, it is not taxed separately as a “regulated investment company,” but is taxed as part of the Company.

We automatically apply investment income and capital gains attributable to the separate account to increase reserves
under the contracts. Because of this, under existing federal tax law we believe that any such income and gains will
not be taxed to the extent that such income and gains are applied to increase reserves under the contracts. In
addition, any foreign tax credits attributable to the separate account will be first used to reduce any income taxes
imposed on the separate account before being used by the Company.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 33



In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any federal income tax liability attributable to the separate account
and we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in federal tax laws and/or their
interpretation may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to the separate account. In this case, we
may impose a charge against the separate account (with respect to some or all of the contracts) to set aside
provisions to pay such taxes. We may deduct this amount from the separate account, including from your account
value invested in the subaccounts.

OTHER TOPICS

Variable Annuity Account B

We established Variable Annuity Account B (the “separate account”) under Connecticut Law in 1976 as a
continuation of the separate account established in 1974 under Arkansas Law by Aetna Variable Annuity Life
Insurance Company. The separate account was established as a segregated asset account to fund variable annuity
contracts. The separate account is registered as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
It also meets the definition of separate account under the federal securities laws.

The separate account is divided into subaccounts. These subaccounts invest directly in shares of a pre-assigned fund.

Although we hold title to the assets of the separate account, such assets are not chargeable with the liabilities of any
other business that we conduct. Income, gains or losses of the separate account are credited to or charged against the
assets of the separate account without regard to other income, gains or losses of the Company. All obligations
arising under the contract are obligations of the Company.

The Company

We issue the contract described in this prospectus and are responsible for providing each contract’s insurance and
annuity benefits.

We are a stock life insurance company organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976 and
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial institution active in the fields of
insurance, banking and asset management. Through a merger our operations include the business of Aetna Variable
Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly known as Participating Annuity Life Insurance Company, an Arkansas
life insurance company organized in 1954). Prior to January 1, 2002, the Company was known as Aetna Life
Insurance and Annuity Company. Although we are a subsidiary of ING, ING is not responsible for the obligations
under the contract. The obligations under the contract are solely the responsibility of ING Life Insurance and
Annuity Company.


As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission, ING has agreed to separate its banking and

insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation over the next four years by divestment of its
insurance and investment management operations, including the Company. ING has announced that it will explore
all options for implementing the separation including initial public offerings, sales or a combination thereof.

We are engaged in the business of issuing life insurance and annuities.

Our principal executive offices are located at:

Regulatory Matters

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal
requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in
connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each
case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters. Federal and state regulators and self-
regulatory agencies are conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement
industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales
incentives; potential conflicts of interest; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product
types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); and disclosure. The Company and certain of its U.S.
affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and have cooperated
and are cooperating fully with each request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action
involving the Company. These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly
affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these and
other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to
their business practices are appropriate.

Investment Product Regulatory Issues. Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity
relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate
trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements
with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its
own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of
mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify
any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and
other ING personnel.

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of
mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the Company, and
identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat
market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees
of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports previously filed with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended.

Action has been or may be taken by regulators with respect to certain ING affiliates before investigations relating to
fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject certain
affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial
liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will have a material
adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

Product Regulation

Our products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and federal tax, securities and insurance laws, and
regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of governmental and self-regulatory authorities.
Specifically, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to nonqualified annuity product design,
administration, and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Internal
Revenue Code. (See “Federal Tax Considerations” for further discussion of some of these requirements.). Failure to
administer certain nonqualified contract features (for example, contractual annuity start dates in nonqualified
annuities) could affect such beneficial tax treatment. In addition, state and federal securities and insurance laws
impose requirements relating to insurance and annuity product design, offering and distribution, and administration.
Failure to meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements could subject the Company to
administrative penalties, unanticipated remediation, or other claims and costs.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 35



Contract Distribution

The Company’s subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, serves as the principal underwriter for the contracts. ING
Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING
Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) and the
Securities Investor Protection Corporation. ING Financial Advisers, LLC’s principal office is located at One Orange
Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774.

The contracts are offered to the public by individuals who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers,
LLC or other broker-dealers which have entered into a selling arrangement with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. We
refer to ING Financial Advisers, LLC and the other broker-dealers selling the contracts as “distributors.”

All registered representatives selling the contracts must also be licensed as insurance agents for the Company.
The following is a list of broker/dealers that are affiliated with the Company:

· Directed Services LLC · ING Funds Distributor, LLC
· ING America Equities, Inc. · ING Investment Advisors, LLC
· ING Financial Advisers, LLC · ING Investment Management Services LLC
· ING Financial Markets LLC · ShareBuilder Securities Corporation
· ING Financial Partners, Inc. · Systematized Benefits Administrators, Inc.


Registered representatives of distributors who solicit sales of the contracts typically receive a portion of the

compensation paid to the distributor in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending upon the
agreement between the distributor and the registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives
or payments, is not paid directly by contract owners or the Separate Account. We intend to recoup this compensation
and other sales expenses paid to distributors through fees and charges imposed under the contracts.

Commission Payments. Persons who offer and sell the contracts may be paid a commission. The maximum
percentage amount that may be paid with respect to a given purchase payment is the first-year percentage which
ranges from 0% to a maximum of 7.0% of the first year of payments to an account. Renewal commissions paid on
payments made after the first year and asset-based service fees may also be paid. In addition, we may also pay
ongoing annual compensation of up to 1.0% of the commissions paid during the year in connection with certain
premium received during that year, if the registered representative attains a certain threshold of sales of Company
contracts. Individual registered representatives may receive all or a portion of compensation paid to their distributor,
depending upon the firm’s practices. Commissions and annual payments, when combined, could exceed 7.0% of
total premium payments. To the extent permitted by SEC and FINRA rules and other applicable laws and
regulations, we may also pay or allow other promotional incentives or payments in the form of cash payments or
other compensation to distributors, which may require the registered representative to attain a certain threshold of
sales of Company products.

We may also enter into special compensation arrangements with certain distributors based on those firms’ aggregate
or anticipated sales of the contracts or other criteria. These special compensation arrangements will not be offered to
all distributors, and the terms of such arrangements may differ among distributors based on various factors. Any
such compensation payable to a distributor will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.

Some sales personnel may receive various types of non-cash compensation as special sales incentives, including
trips, and we may also pay for some sales personnel to attend educational and/or business seminars. Any such
compensation will be paid in accordance with SEC and FINRA rules. Management personnel of the Company, and
of its affiliated broker-dealers, may receive additional compensation if the overall amount of investments in funds
advised by the Company or its affiliates meets certain target levels or increases over time. Compensation for certain
management personnel, including sales management personnel, may be enhanced if the overall amount of
investments in the contracts and other products issued or advised by the Company or its affiliates increases over
time. Certain sales management personnel may also receive compensation that is a specific percentage of the
commissions paid to distributors or of purchase payments received under the contracts.

In addition to direct cash compensation for sales of contracts described above, ING Financial Advisers, LLC may
also pay distributors additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling the contracts
to you and other customers. These amounts may include:

  • Marketing/distribution allowances which may be based on the percentages of premium received, the aggregate commissions paid and/or the aggregate assets held in relation to certain types of designated insurance products issued by the Company and/or its affiliates during the year;
  • Loans or advances of commissions in anticipation of future receipt of premiums (a form of lending to agents/registered representatives). These loans may have advantageous terms such as reduction or elimination of the interest charged on the loan and/or forgiveness of the principal amount of the loan, which terms may be conditioned on fixed insurance product sales;
  • Education and training allowances to facilitate our attendance at certain educational and training meetings to provide information and training about our products. We also hold training programs from time to time at our expense;
  • Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for broker/dealers to use in sales contests and/or meetings for their agents/registered representatives who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on the sales of this product;
  • Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned commissions, agent/representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of policies; and
  • Additional cash or noncash compensation and reimbursements permissible under existing law. This may include, but is not limited to, cash incentives, merchandise, trips, occasional entertainment, meals and tickets to sporting events, client appreciation events, business and educational enhancement items, payment for travel expenses (including meals and lodging) to pre-approved training and education seminars, and payment for advertising and sales campaigns.

We may pay commissions, dealer concessions, wholesaling fees, overrides, bonuses, other allowances and benefits
and the costs of all other incentives or training programs from our resources, which include the fees and charges
imposed under the contracts.

If the amounts paid to ING Financial Advisers, LLC were included, ING Financial Advisers, LLC would be at the
top of the list.

This is a general discussion of the types and levels of compensation paid by us for the sale of our variable annuity
contracts. It is important for you to know that the payment of volume- or sales-based compensation to a distributor
or registered representative may provide that registered representative a financial incentive to promote our contracts
over those of another Company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote one of our contracts over
another.

Payment Delay or Suspension

We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits or values under the following
circumstances:

  • On any valuation date when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except customary holidays or weekends) or when trading on the New York Stock Exchange is restricted;
  • When an emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that disposal of the securities held in the subaccounts is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable to determine the value of the subaccount’s assets; or
  • During any other periods the SEC permits for the protection of investors.

The conditions under which restricted trading or an emergency exists shall be determined by the rules and
regulations of the SEC.

Voting Rights

Each of the subaccounts holds shares in a fund and each is entitled to vote at regular and special meetings of that
fund. Under our current view of applicable law, we will vote the shares for each subaccount as instructed by persons
having a voting interest in the subaccount. We will vote shares for which instructions have not been received in the
same proportion as those for which we received instructions. The effect of proportional voting is that a small number
of contract owners may decide the outcome of a vote. Each person who has a voting interest in the separate account
will receive periodic reports relating to the funds in which he or she has an interest, as well as any proxy materials
and a form on which to give voting instructions. Voting instructions will be solicited by a written communication at
least 14 days before the meeting.

The number of votes (including fractional votes) you are entitled to direct will be determined as of the record date
set by any fund you invest in through the subaccounts. The number of votes is equal to the portion of reserves set
aside for the contract’s share of the fund, divided by the net asset value of one share of that fund.

Contract Modification

We may change the contract as required by federal or state law or as otherwise permitted in the contract. In addition,
we may, upon 30 day’s written notice to the group contract holder, make other changes to a group contract that
would apply only to individuals who become participants under that contract after the effective date of such
changes. If a group contract holder does not agree to a change, we reserve the right to refuse to establish new
accounts under the contract. Certain changes will require the approval of appropriate state or federal regulatory
authorities.

ILIAC Income Annuity - 155282 38



Transfer of Ownership

Ownership of the contract may be changed to the extent permitted by law. You should immediately notify the
Company, in writing, of any change in ownership. No such ownership change will be binding until such notification
is received and recorded at our Customer Service Center. We reserve the right to reject transfer of ownership to a
non-natural person. A transfer of ownership may have tax consequences and you should consult with a qualified tax
adviser before transferring ownership of the contract.

Legal Matters and Proceedings

We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings which involve the variable account as a party.

The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of
business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitration, suits against the Company sometimes
include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages and other types of relief. Moreover,
certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it
is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance and
established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a
materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

ING Financial Advisers, LLC, the principal underwriter and distributor of the contract, is a party to threatened or
pending lawsuits, arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of theses suits may seek
class action status and sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential or punitive damages
and other types of relief. ING Financial Advisers, LLC is not involved in any legal proceeding which, in the opinion
of management, is likely to have material adverse effect on its ability to distribute the contract.

APPENDIX I

Fixed Dollar Option

The following summarizes material information concerning the fixed dollar option. You may choose to allocate all
or a portion of your purchase payment to the fixed dollar option. If you choose the fixed dollar option, your income
payments will generally remain fixed as specified in your contract over the term of the contract. Your fixed payment
may vary due to factors including your selection of an increasing annuity or your election and use of a right to
withdraw. In certain cases, you may elect a right to withdraw any remaining guaranteed payments (see
“Withdrawals” in this appendix). Amounts allocated to the fixed dollar option are held in the Company’s general
account that supports general insurance and annuity obligations.

Interests in the fixed dollar option have not been registered with the SEC in reliance upon exemptions under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Disclosure in this prospectus regarding the fixed dollar option may, however, be
subject to certain generally applicable provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and
completeness of such statements. Disclosure in this appendix regarding the fixed dollar option has not been
reviewed by the SEC.

Payment Options

All of the payment options described under “Income Payments” in this prospectus are available for the fixed dollar
option. If you allocate all of your purchase payment to the fixed dollar option, you may also elect one of the
following features in connection with your fixed income payments:

(a)      A Cash Refund Feature. (Only available if you select 100% fixed payments.) With this feature, if the annuitant or both annuitants (as applicable) die, then the beneficiary will receive a lump-sum payment equal to the purchase payment allocated to the fixed dollar option less any premium tax and less the total amount of fixed income payments paid prior to such death. The cash refund feature may be elected only with a “life income” or “life income-two lives” payment option that has no reduction in payment to the survivor, see “Income Payments—Payment Options.” You may not elect a right to withdraw or elect an increasing annuity with this feature.
(b)      An Increasing Annuity. (Only available if you select 100% fixed payments.) With this feature you may elect for your payments to increase by either one, two, or three percent, compounded annually. The higher your percentage, the lower your initial payment will be. This is available with any payment option, except for those with a reduction in payment to the survivor, see “Income Payments - Payment Options.” You may not elect a right to withdraw or elect the cash refund feature with an increasing annuity. This feature is not available under contracts purchased in conjunction with Section 457 deferred compensation plans.

Fixed Income Payment Amounts

The amount of each payment depends upon (1) the purchase payment that you allocate to the fixed dollar option,
less any premium tax, and (2) the payment option and features chosen.

Withdrawals

Withdrawal Value- Lifetime Payment Options. If you select a lifetime payment option with guaranteed
payments and elect the right to make withdrawals, the withdrawal amount available from any fixed portion of
remaining guaranteed payments is equal to the present value of the remaining fixed portion of guaranteed payments
calculated using the contract rate adjusted by the change in the constant maturity ten year Treasury note rate from
your contract effective date to the date we calculate the withdrawal value. Any applicable early withdrawal charge
will be deducted.

ILIAC Income Annuity – 155282 I-1



Withdrawal Value- Nonlifetime Payment Options. If you select a nonlifetime payment option and elect the right
to make withdrawals, the withdrawal amount available from any fixed portion of remaining guaranteed payments is
equal to the present value of the remaining fixed portion of guaranteed payments calculated using the adjusted
contract rate. The calculation is presented below. Any applicable early withdrawal charge will be deducted.

The adjusted contract rate equals (Rate of Return) + WY - IY, where:

Rate of Return is the fixed annuity present value interest rate shown in your contract
WY is the withdrawal yield
IY is the issue yield

WY is determined as follows:

(1)      WY is the average of the yields, as published in the Wall Street Journal on the Friday before the date of the withdrawal, of non-callable, non-inflation adjusted Treasury Notes or Bonds maturing on or closest to the withdrawal duration date.
(2)      The withdrawal duration date is the date (month and year) obtained when the withdrawal duration is added to the date of the withdrawal.
(3)      Withdrawal duration equals 1 plus the number of whole years from the date of the withdrawal until the final guaranteed payment is due, divided by 2. Any resulting fraction will be rounded up to the next whole number.

IY is determined as follows:

(1)      IY is the average of the yields, as published in the Wall Street Journal on the Friday before the later of the contract effective date or the benefit change date shown in your contract, of non-callable, non-inflation adjusted Treasury Notes or Bonds maturing on or closest to the issue duration date.
(2)      The issue duration date (month and year) is obtained when the issue duration is added to the later of the contract effective date or the benefit change date.
(3)      Issue duration equals 1 plus the number of whole years from the later of the contract effective date or the benefit change date until the final payment is due, divided by 2. Any resulting fraction will be rounded up to the next whole number.
(4)      Benefit change date is the date of the most recent change, if any, of the guaranteed payment period.

Early Withdrawal Charge
Withdrawals may be subject to an early withdrawal charge. The charge is a percentage of the amount that you
withdraw. The percentage will be determined by the early withdrawal charge schedule applicable to your contract:

Schedule A: Subject to state approval, Schedule A applies to contracts issued on or after May 3, 1999.

                                                   Schedule A  
Number of Years from Early Withdrawal Charge
Contract Effective Date* 6%
1 or more, but fewer than 2 5%
2 or more, but fewer than 3 4%
3 or more, but fewer than 4 3%
4 or more, but fewer than 5 2%
5 or more, but fewer than 6 1%
6 or more, but fewer than 7 0%
7 or more  

ILIAC Income Annuity – 155282 I-2



Schedule B: Applies to contracts issued prior to May 3, 1999. It also applies to contracts issued on or after May 3,
1999 in states where Schedule A is not approved as of the contract effective date.

                                                   Schedule B  
Number of Years from Early Withdrawal Charge
Contract Effective Date* 5%
1 or more, but fewer than 2 4%
2 or more, but fewer than 3 4%
3 or more, but fewer than 4 3%
4 or more, but fewer than 5 2%
5 or more, but fewer than 6 1%
6 or more, but fewer than 7 0%
7 or more  

*      For participants under a group contract, the early withdrawal charge will be calculated based on the number of years from the certificate effective date.

The early withdrawal charge, in effect, is a deferred sales charge imposed to reimburse the Company for
unrecovered acquisition and distribution costs.

Reduction or Elimination of the Early Withdrawal Charge. We may reduce or eliminate the early withdrawal
charge when sales of the contract are made to individuals or a group of individuals in such a manner that results in
savings of sales expenses. The entitlement to such a reduction in the early withdrawal charge will be based on one or
more of the following criteria:

(a)      The size and type of group of individuals to whom the contract is offered;
(b)      The type and frequency of administrative and sales services to be provided; or
(c)      Whether there is a prior or existing relationship with the Company such as being an employee or former employee of the Company or one of its affiliate; receiving distributions or making internal transfers from other contracts issued by the Company or one of its affiliates; or making transfers of amounts held under qualified plans sponsored by the Company or an affiliate.

Any reduction or elimination of the early withdrawal charge will not be unfairly discriminatory against any person.

Death Benefit

If the annuitant or both annuitants, as applicable, die before all guaranteed payments are paid, payments will
continue to the beneficiary in the manner stated in your contract.

Payment of Death Benefit. Any death benefit will be paid in the form specified in the contract and will be
distributed at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution in effect upon the date of death. See “Taxation” for
rules that apply if you have elected to delay your payment start date under a nonqualified annuity and you die before
the annuity starting date. A lump-sum payment of any death benefit may be requested within six months following
the date of death. If a lump-sum payment is requested, no early withdrawal charge is applied and payment will be
sent within seven days following our receipt of request in good order. A lump-sum payment may be requested at
anytime (even after the six month period) if you had elected the right to withdraw. If a cash refund feature was
elected, the death benefit will be paid in one lump sum to the beneficiary.

If the contract holder who is not the annuitant dies, income payments will continue to be paid to the payee in the
form specified in the contract. If no payee survives the death of the contract holder, income payments will be made
to the annuitant. Such payments will be paid at least as rapidly as under the method of distribution then in effect.

ILIAC Income Annuity – 155282                                                          I-3



Death Benefit Amount. If you elect a right to withdraw, the death benefit value will be determined as described
under “Withdrawal Amount” in this appendix. No early withdrawal charge will apply. If the contract is issued with
guaranteed payments and with no right to withdraw, the rate used to determine the value of the remaining
guaranteed payments will be the fixed annuity present value interest rate shown in the contract.

The value of the death benefit will be determined as of the next valuation following the Company’s receipt at its
Customer Service Center of proof of death acceptable to us and a request for payment in good order.

APPENDIX II

Description of Underlying Funds

During the accumulation phase, you may allocate your premium payments and contract value to any of the
investment portfolios available under this contract. They are listed in this appendix. You bear the entire investment
risk for amounts you allocate to any investment portfolio, and you may lose your principal.

The investment results of the mutual funds (funds) are likely to differ significantly and there is no assurance that any
of the funds will achieve their respective investment objectives. You should consider the investment objectives, risks
and charges and expenses of the funds carefully before investing. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for this and
additional information.

Shares of the funds will rise and fall in value and you could lose money by investing in the funds. Shares of the
funds are not bank deposits and are not guaranteed, endorsed or insured by any financial institution, the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Except as noted, all funds are diversified, as
defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Fund prospectuses may be obtained free of charge, from our
Customer Service Center at the address and telephone number listed in the prospectus, by accessing the SEC’s web
site or by contacting the SEC Public Reference Room. If you received a summary prospectus for any of the funds
available through your contract, you may also obtain a full prospectus and other fund information free of charge by
either accessing the internet address, calling the telephone number or sending an email request to the contact
information shown on the front of the fund’s summary prospectus.

Certain funds offered under the contracts have investment objectives and policies similar to other funds managed by
the fund’s investment adviser. The investment results of a fund may be higher or lower than those of other funds
managed by the same adviser. There is no assurance and no representation is made that the investment results of any
fund will be comparable to those of another fund managed by the same investment adviser.

Certain funds are designated as “Master-Feeder” Funds. Funds offered in a Master-Feeder structure (such as the
American Funds) may have higher fees and expenses than a fund that invests directly in debt and equity securities.
The “Master Feeder” funds available under the contract are identified in the list of investment portfolios toward the
front of this prospectus.

Consult with your investment professional to determine if the investment portfolios may be suited to your financial
needs, investment time horizon and risk tolerance. You should periodically review these factors to determine if you
need to change your investment strategy.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND HISTORY

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our”) is a stock life insurance company
which was organized under the insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976. Prior to January 1, 2002, the
Company was known as Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company. Through a merger, it succeeded to the
business of Aetna Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company (formerly Participating Annuity Life Insurance
Company organized in 1954).

The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V., a global financial institution active in the
fields of insurance, banking and asset management and is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut
Holdings Inc. The Company is engaged in the business of issuing life insurance policies and annuity contracts. Our
Home Office is located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774.

The Company serves as the depositor for the separate account.

Other than the mortality and expense risk charge and administrative expense charge, described in the prospectus, all
expenses incurred in the operations of the separate account are borne by the Company. However, the Company does
receive compensation for certain administrative or distribution costs from the funds or affiliates of the funds used as
funding options under the contract. (See “Fees” in the prospectus).

The assets of the separate account are held by the Company. The separate account has no custodian. However, the
funds in whose shares the assets of the separate account are invested each have custodians, as discussed in their
respective prospectuses.

From this point forward, the term “contract(s)” refers only to those offered through the prospectus.

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B

Variable Annuity Account B is a separate account established by the Company for the purpose of funding variable
annuity contracts issued by the Company. The separate account is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (“SEC”) as a unit investment trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Payments
to accounts under the contract may be allocated to one or more of the subaccounts. Each subaccount invests in the
shares of only one of the funds offered under the contract. We may make additions to, deletions from or
substitutions of available investment options as permitted by law and subject to the conditions of the contract. The
availability of the funds is subject to applicable regulatory authorization. Not all funds are available in all
jurisdictions, under all contracts, or under all plans.

A complete description of each fund, including its investment objective, policies, risks and fees and expenses, is
contained in the fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information.

OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS

The Company’s subsidiary, ING Financial Advisers, LLC serves as the principal underwriter for contracts. ING
Financial Advisers, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered as a broker-dealer with the SEC. ING
Financial Advisers, LLC is also a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation. ING Financial Advisers, LLC’s principal office is located at One Orange Way,
Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774. The contracts are distributed through life insurance agents licensed to sell
variable annuities who are registered representatives of ING Financial Advisers, LLC or of other registered broker-
dealers who have entered into sales arrangements with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. The offering of the contracts
is continuous. A description of the manner in which contracts are purchased may be found in the prospectus under
the sections entitled “Contract Ownership and Rights” and “Your Account Value.”

Compensation paid to the principal underwriter, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, for the years ending December 31,
2009, 2008 and 2007 amounted to $1,658,134.85, $2,501,353.46 and $2,666,060.62, respectively. These amounts
reflect compensation paid to ING Financial Advisers, LLC attributable to regulatory and operating expenses
associated with the distribution of all registered variable annuity products issued by Variable Annuity Account B of
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

INCOME PHASE PAYMENTS

When you begin receiving payments under the contract during the income phase (see “Income Phase” in the
prospectus), the value of your account is determined using accumulation unit values as of the tenth valuation before
the first income phase payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium tax charge) is applied to provide
payments to you in accordance with the income phase payment option and investment options elected.

The annuity option tables found in the contract show, for each option, the amount of the first payment for each
$1,000 of value applied. Thereafter, variable payments fluctuate as the Annuity Unit value(s) fluctuates with the
investment experience of the selected investment option(s). The first and subsequent payments also vary depending
on the assumed net investment rate selected (3.5% or 5% per annum). Selection of a 5% rate causes a higher first
payment, but payments will increase thereafter only to the extent that the net investment rate increases by more than
5% on an annual basis. Payments would decline if the rate failed to increase by 5%. Use of the 3.5% assumed rate
causes a lower first income phase payment, but subsequent income phase payments would increase more rapidly or
decline more slowly as changes occur in the net investment rate.

When the income phase begins, the annuitant is credited with a fixed number of Annuity Units (which does not
change thereafter) in each of the designated investment options. This number is calculated by dividing (a) by (b),
where (a) is the amount of the first payment based upon a particular investment option, and (b) is the then current
Annuity Unit value for that investment option. As noted, Annuity Unit values fluctuate from one valuation to the
next (see “Account Value” in the prospectus); such fluctuations reflect changes in the net investment factor for the
appropriate subaccount(s) (with a ten day valuation lag which gives the Company time to process payments) and a
mathematical adjustment which offsets the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% or 5% per annum.

The operation of all these factors can be illustrated by the following hypothetical example. These procedures will be
performed separately for the investment options selected during the income phase.

EXAMPLE:

Assume that, at the date payments are to begin, there are 3,000 accumulation units credited under a
particular contract or account and that the value of an accumulation unit for the tenth valuation prior to
retirement was $13.650000. This produces a total value of $40,950.

Assume also that no premium tax charge is payable and that the annuity table in the contract provides, for the
payment option elected, a first monthly variable payment of $6.68 per $1,000 of value applied; the annuitant’s first
monthly payment would thus be 40.950 multiplied by $6.68, or $273.55.

Assume then that the value of an Annuity Unit upon the valuation on which the first payment was due was
$13.400000. When this value is divided into the first monthly payment, the number of Annuity Units is determined
to be 20.414. The value of this number of Annuity Units will be paid in each subsequent month.

Suppose there were 30 days between the initial and second payment valuation dates. If the net investment factor
with respect to the appropriate subaccount is 1.0032737 as of the tenth valuation preceding the due date of the
second monthly income phase payment, multiplying this factor by .9971779* = .9999058^30 (to take into account
30 days of the assumed net investment rate of 3.5% per annum built into the number of Annuity Units determined
above) produces a result of 1.000442. This is then multiplied by the Annuity Unit value for the prior valuation
($13.400000 from above) to produce an Annuity Unit value of $13.405928 for the valuation occurring when the
second income phase payment is due.

The second monthly income phase payment is then determined by multiplying the number of Annuity Units by the
current Annuity Unit value, or 20.414 times $13.405928, which produces a payment of $273.67.

*If an assumed net investment rate of 5% is elected, the appropriate factor to take into account such assumed rate
would be .9959968 = .9998663^30.

SALES MATERIAL AND ADVERTISING

We may include hypothetical illustrations in our sales literature that explain the mathematical principles of dollar
cost averaging, compounded interest, tax deferred accumulation, and the mechanics of variable annuity contracts.
We may also discuss the difference between variable annuity contracts and other types of savings or investment
products such as, personal savings accounts and certificates of deposit.

We may distribute sales literature that compares the percentage change in accumulation unit values for any of the
subaccounts to established market indices such as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Stock Index and the Dow Jones
Industrial Average or to the percentage change in values of other management investment companies that have
investment objectives similar to the subaccount being compared.

We may publish in advertisements and reports, the ratings and other information assigned to us by one or more
independent rating organizations such as A.M. Best Company, Standard & Poor’s Corporation and Moody’s
Investors Service, Inc. The purpose of the ratings is to reflect our financial strength and/or claims-paying ability. We
may also quote ranking services such as Morningstar’s Variable Annuity/Life Performance Report and Lipper’s
Variable Insurance Products Performance Analysis Service (VIPPAS), which rank variable annuity or life
subaccounts or their underlying funds by performance and/or investment objective. We may categorize funds in
terms of the asset classes they represent and use such categories in marketing material for the contracts. We may
illustrate in advertisements the performance of the underlying funds, if accompanied by performance which also
shows the performance of such funds reduced by applicable charges under the separate account. We may also show
in advertisements the portfolio holdings of the underlying funds, updated at various intervals. From time to time, we
will quote articles from newspapers and magazines or other publications or reports such as The Wall Street Journal,
Money magazine, USA Today and The VARDS Report.

We may provide in advertising, sales literature, periodic publications or other materials information on various
topics of interest to current and prospective contract holders or participants. These topics may include the
relationship between sectors of the economy and the economy as a whole and its effect on various securities
markets, investment strategies and techniques (such as value investing, market timing, dollar cost averaging, asset
allocation, constant ratio transfer and account rebalancing), the advantages and disadvantages of investing in tax-
deferred and taxable investments, customer profiles and hypothetical purchase and investment scenarios, financial
management and tax and retirement planning, and investment alternatives to certificates of deposit and other
financial instruments, including comparison between the contracts and the characteristics of and market for such
financial instruments.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged
to perform an audit of the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Account’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2009, by correspondence with the transfer agents.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of each of the respective Divisions constituting Variable Annuity Account B of ING
Life Insurance and Annuity Company at December 31, 2009, the results of their operations and changes in
their net assets for the periods disclosed in the financial statements, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

1. Organization

Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the
“Account”) was established by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC” or
the “Company”) to support the operations of variable annuity contracts (“Contracts”).
The Company is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance
Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), an insurance holding company domiciled in the State of
Delaware. ING AIH is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep, N.V.
(“ING”), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands.

As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission (“EC”), ING has
agreed to separate its banking and insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve
this separation over the next four years by divestment of its insurance and investment
management operations, including the Account. ING has announced that it will explore
all options for implementing the separation including initial public offerings, sales, or
combinations thereof.

The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the Securities and Exchange
Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Account is
exclusively for use with Contracts that may be entitled to tax-deferred treatment under
specific sections of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. ILIAC provides for
variable accumulation and benefits under the Contracts by crediting annuity
considerations to one or more divisions within the Account or the fixed separate account,
which is not part of the Account, as directed by the contractowners. The portion of the
Account’s assets applicable to Contracts will not be charged with liabilities arising out of
any other business ILIAC may conduct, but obligations of the Account, including the
promise to make benefit payments, are obligations of ILIAC. The assets and liabilities of
the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other assets and liabilities of
ILIAC.

At December 31, 2009, the Account had 138 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 36
of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 102 of which invest in
mutual funds managed by affiliates, either Directed Services LLC (“DSL”), or ING
Investments, LLC (“IIL”). The assets in each Division are invested in shares of a
designated fund (“Fund”) of various investment trusts (the “Trusts”). Investment
Divisions with asset balances at December 31, 2009 and related Trusts are as follows:

AIM Variable Insurance Funds: Federated Insurance Series (continued):

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

Effective October 7, 2008, ING Money Market Portfolio changed its investment objective
to seeking to maintain a stable share price of $1.00 per share. In connection with this
change, ING Money Market Portfolio utilized a stock split and distributed additional
shares to its shareholders such that each shareholder’s proportionate interest and
aggregate value of investment in ING Money Market Portfolio remained the same.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Account:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those
estimates.

Investments

Investments are made in shares of a Fund and are recorded at fair value, determined by
the net asset value per share of the respective Fund. Investment transactions in each Fund
are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and capital gains
from each Fund are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized gains and losses on
redemptions of the shares of the Fund are determined on a first-in, first-out basis.
The difference between cost and current market value of investments owned on the day of
measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.

Federal Income Taxes

Operations of the Account form a part of, and are taxed with, the total operations of
ILIAC, which is taxed as a life insurance company under the Internal Revenue Code.
Earnings and realized capital gains of the Account attributable to the contractowners are
excluded in the determination of the federal income tax liability of ILIAC.

Contractowner Reserves

Prior to the annuity date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net cash surrender value of
the Contracts. The annuity reserves of the Account are represented by net assets on the
Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are equal to the aggregate account values of the
contractowners invested in the Account Divisions. To the extent that benefits to be paid
to the contractowners exceed their account values, ILIAC will contribute additional funds
to the benefit proceeds. Conversely, if amounts allocated exceed amounts required,
transfers may be made to ILIAC.

109



VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

Changes from Principal Transactions

Included in Changes from Principal Transactions on the Statements of Changes in Net
Assets are items which relate to contractowner activity, including deposits, surrenders and
withdrawals, benefits, and contract charges. Also included are transfers between the
fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, and transfers to (from)
ILIAC related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full
responsibility for which is assumed by ILIAC). Any net unsettled transactions as of the
reporting date are included in Due to related parties on the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities.

Subsequent Events

The Account has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the
date the financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and for the years ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008, were issued.

3. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-01, “Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles: amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”)
No. 168 - The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles” (“ASU 2009-01”), which confirms that as of July 1,
2009, the “FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM” (“the Codification” or “ASC”) is
the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental US GAAP. All existing
accounting standard documents are superseded, and all other accounting literature not
included in the Codification is considered nonauthoritative.

The Account adopted the Codification as of July 1, 2009. There was no effect on the
Account’s net assets and results of operations. The Account has revised its disclosures to
incorporate references to the Codification topics.

Subsequent Events

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events, included in ASC
Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes:

§      The period after the balance sheet date during which an entity should evaluate events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements;

110



VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

§      The circumstances under which an entity should recognize such events or transactions in its financial statements; and
§      Disclosures regarding such events or transactions and the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 855, were adopted by the Account on
June 30, 2009. In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09,
“Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure
Requirements,” which clarifies that an SEC filer should evaluate subsequent events
through the date the financial statements are issued and eliminates the requirement for an
SEC filer to disclose that date, effective upon issuance. The Account determined that
there was no effect on the Account’s net assets and results of operations upon adoption,
as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Account under US
auditing standards. The disclosure provisions included in ASC Topic 855, as amended,
are presented in the Significant Accounting Policies footnote.

Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability
Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on determining fair value when the volume
and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying
transactions that are not orderly, included in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures,” which confirms that fair value is the price that would be received to sell
an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants
at the measurement date under current market conditions. In addition, this guidance, as
included in ASC Topic 820:

§      Clarifies factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset or liability;
§      Requires an entity to determine whether a transaction is not orderly based on the weight of the evidence; and
§      Requires an entity to disclose in interim and annual periods the input and valuation technique used to measure fair value and any change in valuation technique.

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 820, were adopted by the Account on
April 1, 2009. The Account determined, however, that there was no effect on the
Account’s net assets and results of operations upon adoption, as its guidance is consistent
with that previously applied by the Account under US GAAP.

111



VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued new guidance on fair value measurements included
in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which provides
guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities whenever other standards
require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. ASC Topic 820 does
not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances.

ASC Topic 820 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions
market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this
principle, ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
information used to develop such assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest
priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data.
ASC Topic 820 also requires separate disclosure of fair value measurements by level
within the hierarchy and expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured
using unobservable data.

The adoption of ASC Topic 820 on January 1, 2008 did not have an impact on the
Account’s net assets or results of operations. New disclosures are included in the
Financial Instruments footnote.

4. Financial Instruments

The Account invests assets in shares of open-end mutual funds, which process orders to
purchase and redeem shares on a daily basis at the fund's next computed net asset values
(“NAV”). The fair value of the Account’s assets is based on the NAVs of mutual funds,
which are obtained from the custodian and reflect the fair values of the mutual
Fund Investments. The NAV is calculated daily upon close of the New York Stock
Exchange and is based on the fair values of the underlying securities.

The Account’s financial assets are recorded at fair value on the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities and are categorized as Level 1 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. The
Account had no financial liabilities as of December 31, 2009.

The ASC Topic 820 fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in
active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to
unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within
different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

§      Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

112



VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

§      Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable
  either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
  Level  2 inputs include the following:
  a)      Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
  b)      Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;
  c)      Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and
  d)      Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.
§      Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

5. Charges and Fees

Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges are allocated to the Contracts to cover
ILIAC’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the Contracts.
Following is a summary of these charges:

Mortality and Expense Risk Charges

ILIAC assumes mortality and expense risks related to the operations of the Account and,
in accordance with the terms of the Contracts, deducts a daily charge from the assets of
the Account. Daily charges are deducted at annual rates of up to 1.25% of the average
daily net asset value of each Division of the Account to cover these risks, as specified in
the Contracts.

Asset Based Administrative Charges

A daily charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at an annual
rate of up to 0.25% of the assets attributable to the Contracts.

Contract Maintenance Charges

An annual Contract maintenance fee of up to $40 may be deducted from the accumulation
value of Contracts to cover ongoing administrative expenses, as specified in the Contract.

Contingent Deferred Sales Charges

For certain Contracts, a contingent deferred sales charge (“Surrender Charge”) is imposed
as a percentage that ranges up to 7.00% of each premium payment if the Contract is
surrendered or an excess partial withdrawal is taken, as specified in the Contract.

113



VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements

Premium Taxes

For certain Contracts, premium taxes are deducted, where applicable, from the
accumulation value of each Contract. The amount and timing of the deduction depends
on the contractowner’s state of residence and currently ranges up to 4.00% of premiums.

Other Contract Charges

Under the Fixed/Variable Single Premium Immediate Annuity contract, an additional
annual charge of 1.00% is deducted daily from the accumulation values for
contractowners who select the Guaranteed Minimum Income feature. For Deferred
Variable Annuity contracts, an additional annual charge of up to 0.50% is deducted daily
from the accumulation value for amounts invested in the ING GET U.S. Core Portfolio
Funds. In addition, an annual charge of up to 0.50% is deducted daily from the
accumulation values for contractowners who select the Premium Bonus Option feature.

Fees Waived by ILIAC

Certain charges and fees for various types of Contracts are currently waived by ILIAC.
ILIAC reserves the right to discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with
changes in the law.

6. Related Party Transactions

During the year ended December 31, 2009, management fees were paid indirectly to IIL,
an affiliate of the Company, in its capacity as investment adviser to the ING Balanced
Portfolio, Inc., ING Intermediate Bond Portfolio, ING Money Market Portfolio, ING
Strategic Allocation Portfolios, Inc., ING Variable Funds, ING Variable Insurance Trust,
ING Variable Portfolios, Inc., and ING Variable Products Trust. The annual fee rate
ranged from 0.08% to 0.95% of the average net assets of each respective Fund.

Management fees were also paid indirectly to DSL, an affiliate of the Company, in its
capacity as investment manager to ING Investors Trust and ING Partners, Inc. The
Trusts’ advisory agreement provided for fees at annual rates ranging up to 1.25% of the
average net assets of each respective Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

The Board of Directors

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits include consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, in 2009 the Company changed its method of accounting for the recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments.

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (“ILIAC”) is a stock life insurance company domiciled in the state of Connecticut. ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are providers of financial products and services in the United States. ILIAC is authorized to conduct its insurance business in all states and the District of Columbia.

 

The consolidated financial statements include ILIAC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) and Directed Services LLC (“DSL”). ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion” or “Parent”), which is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”). ING is a global financial services holding company based in the Netherlands, with American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “ING.”

 

On May 11, 2006, ILIAC organized Northfield Windsor LLC (“NWL”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary for the purpose of purchasing, constructing, developing, leasing, and managing a new corporate office facility to be located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut (the “Windsor Property”). Effective October 1, 2007, the principal executive office of ILIAC was changed to One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut. On October 31, 2007, ILIAC’s subsidiary, NWL merged with and into ILIAC. As of the merger date, NWL ceased to exist, and ILIAC became the surviving corporation. The merger did not have an impact on ILIAC’s consolidated results of operations and financial position, as NWL was a wholly-owned subsidiary and already included in the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented since its formation.

 

As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission (“EC”), ING has agreed to separate its banking and insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation over the next four years by divestment of its insurance and investment management operations, including the Company. ING has announced that it will explore all options for implementing the separation including initial public offerings, sales or a combination thereof.

Description of Business

The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts that include a variety of funding and payout options for individuals and employer-sponsored retirement plans qualified under Internal Revenue Code Sections 401, 403, 408, and 457, as well as nonqualified deferred compensation plans and related services. The Company’s products are offered primarily to individuals, pension plans, small businesses, and employer-sponsored groups in the health care, government, and education markets (collectively “not-for-profit” organizations) and corporate markets. The Company’s products are generally distributed through pension professionals, independent agents and brokers, third party administrators, banks, dedicated career agents, and financial planners.

 

Products offered by the Company include deferred and immediate (payout annuities) annuity contracts. Company products also include programs offered to qualified plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that package administrative and record-keeping services along with a variety of investment options, including affiliated and nonaffiliated mutual funds and variable and fixed investment options. In addition, the Company offers wrapper agreements entered into with retirement plans, which contain certain benefit responsive guarantees (i.e., liquidity guarantees of principal and previously accrued interest for benefits paid under the terms of the plan) with respect to portfolios of plan-owned assets not invested with the Company. The Company also offers pension and retirement savings plan administrative services.

 

The Company has one operating segment.

In September 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent)” (“ASU 2009-12”), which allows the use of net asset value to estimate the fair value of certain alternative investments, such as interests in hedge funds, private equity funds, real estate funds, venture capital funds, offshore fund vehicles, and funds of funds. In addition, ASU 2009-12 requires disclosures about the attributes of such investments.

The provisions of ASU 2009-12 were adopted by the Company on December 31, 2009. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as its guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under US GAAP. The disclosure provisions required by ASU 2009-12 are presented in the Investments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

 

Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value

 

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-05, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (“ASU 2009-05”), which clarifies that in circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, one of the following techniques should be used to measure a liability’s fair value:

 

 

§

The quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset; or

 

§

Quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities traded as assets; or

 

§

Another valuation technique consistent with the principles of ASC Topic 820, such as the income approach or a market approach.

 

ASU 2009-05 also clarifies that restrictions preventing the transfer of a liability should not be considered as an adjustment in the measurement of its fair value.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-05 were adopted by the Company on December 31, 2009. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as its guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under US GAAP.

 

FASB Accounting Standards Codification

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-01, “Topic 105 - Generally Accepted Accounting Principles: amendments based on Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“ASU 2009-01”), which confirms that as of July 1, 2009, the “FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM” (“the Codification” or “ASC”) is the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental US GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded, and all other accounting literature not included in the Codification is considered nonauthoritative.

The Company adopted the Codification as of July 1, 2009. There was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has revised its disclosures to incorporate references to the Codification topics.

 

Subsequent Events

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on subsequent events, included in ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes:

 

 

§

The period after the balance sheet date during which an entity should evaluate events or transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements;

 

§

The circumstances under which an entity should recognize such events or transactions in its financial statements; and

 

§

Disclosures regarding such events or transactions and the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 855, were adopted by the Company on June 30, 2009. In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, “Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements”, which clarifies that an SEC filer should evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued and eliminates the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose that date, effective upon issuance. The Company determined that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under U.S. auditing standards. The disclosure provisions included in ASC Topic 855, as amended, are presented in this Organization and Significant Accounting Policies footnote.

 

Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly, included in ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which confirms that fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. In addition, this guidance, as included in ASC Topic 820:

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

 

§

Clarifies factors for determining whether there has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset or liability;

 

§

Requires an entity to determine whether a transaction is not orderly based on the weight of the evidence; and

 

§

Requires an entity to disclose in interim and annual periods the input and valuation technique used to measure fair value and any change in valuation technique.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 820, were adopted by the Company on April 1, 2009. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as its guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company under US GAAP.

 

Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on recognition and presentation of other-than-temporary impairments, included in ASC Topic 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities,” which requires:

 

 

§

Noncredit related impairments to be recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), if management asserts that it does not have the intent to sell the security and that it is more likely than not that the entity will not have to sell the security before recovery of the amortized cost basis;

 

§

Total other-than-temporary impairments (“OTTI”) to be presented in the statement of earnings with an offset recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) for the noncredit related impairments;

 

§

A cumulative effect adjustment as of the beginning of the period of adoption to reclassify the noncredit component of a previously recognized other-than-temporary impairment from retained earnings to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss); and

 

§

Additional interim disclosures for debt and equity securities regarding types of securities held, unrealized losses, and other-than-temporary impairments.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 320, were adopted by the Company on April 1, 2009. As a result of implementation, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $151.7 after considering the effects of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and income taxes of $(134.0) and $46.9, respectively, as an increase to April 1, 2009 Retained earnings (deficit) with a corresponding decrease to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

The disclosure provisions, as included in ASC Topic 320, are presented in the Investments footnote to these consolidated financial statements.

 

Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, included in ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” which requires that the fair value of financial instruments be disclosed in an entity’s interim financial statements, as well as in annual financial statements. The provisions included in ASC Topic 825 also require that fair value information be presented with the related carrying value and that the method and significant assumptions used to estimate fair value, as well as changes in method and significant assumptions, be disclosed.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 825, were adopted by the Company on April 1, 2009 and are presented in the Financial Instruments footnote to these consolidated financial statements. As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued new guidance on disclosures about derivative instruments and hedging activities, included in ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging,” which requires enhanced disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, including:

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

§

How and why derivative instruments are used;

 

§

How derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under US GAAP for derivative and hedging activities; and

 

§

How derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial statements.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 815, were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009 and are included in the Financial Instruments footnote to these consolidated financial statements. As the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. In addition, the Company’s derivatives are generally not accounted for using hedge accounting treatment under ASC Topic 815, as the Company has not historically sought hedge accounting treatment.

 

Business Combinations

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued new guidance on business combinations, included in ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations.” ASC Topic 805 requires most identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interest, and goodwill, acquired in a business combination to be recorded at full fair value as of the acquisition date, even for acquisitions achieved in stages. In addition, the guidance requires:

 

 

§

Acquisition-related costs to be recognized separately and generally expensed;

 

§

Non-obligatory restructuring costs to be recognized separately when the liability is incurred;

 

§

Contractual contingencies acquired to be recorded at acquisition-date fair values;

 

§

A bargain purchase, which occurs when the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds the consideration transferred plus any non-controlling interest in the acquiree, to be recognized as a gain; and

 

§

The nature and financial effects of the business combination to be disclosed.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 805, also amend or eliminate various other authoritative literature.

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

In addition, in April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on accounting for assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies, which rescinds requirements to recognize contingent assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value on the acquisition date, and reinstates certain previous guidance to value many of those contingencies under ASC Topic 450, “Contingencies.”

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 805, were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows as of December 31, 2009, as there have been no acquisitions for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

Equity Method Investment Accounting

 

In November 2008, a consensus was reached on new guidance on equity method investment accounting considerations, included in ASC Topic 323, “Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures,” which requires, among other provisions, that:

 

 

§

Equity method investments be initially measured at cost;

 

§

Contingent consideration only be included in the initial measurement;

 

§

An investor recognize its share of any impairment charge recorded by the equity investee; and

 

§

An investor account for a share issuance by an equity investee as if the investor had sold a proportionate share of its investment.

 

These provisions, as included in ASC Topic 323, were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2009. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows as of December 31, 2009, as there have been no acquisitions or changes in ownership for the year ended December 31, 2009.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (ASC Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements,” (“ASU 2010-06”), which requires several new disclosures, as well as clarification to existing disclosures, as follows:

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

§

Significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the reason for the transfers;

 

§

Purchases, sales, issuances, and settlement, in the Level 3 fair value measurements reconciliation on a gross basis;

 

§

Fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities (i.e., disaggregated); and

 

§

Valuation techniques and inputs for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-06 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-06.

 

Accounting and Reporting Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary

 

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-02 “Consolidations (ASC Topic 810): Accounting and Reporting for Decreases in Ownership of a Subsidiary – a Scope Clarification,” (“ASU 2010-02”), which clarifies that the scope of the decrease in ownership provisions applies to the following:

 

 

§

A subsidiary or group of assets that is a business or nonprofit activity;

 

§

A subsidiary that is a business or nonprofit activity that is transferred to an equity method investee or joint venture; and

 

§

An exchange of a group of assets that constitutes a business or nonprofit activity for a noncontrolling interest in an entity (including an equity method investee or joint venture).

 

ASU 2010-02 also notes that the decrease in ownership guidance does not apply to sales of in substance real estate and expands disclosure requirements.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-02 are effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period after December 15, 2009, and are required to be applied retrospectively to January 1, 2009. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-02.

Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved in Variable Interest Entities

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-17, “Consolidations (ASC Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved in Variable Interest Entities,” (“ASU 2009-17”), which eliminates the exemption for qualifying special-purpose entities (“QSPEs”), as well as amends the consolidation guidance for variable interest entities (“VIEs”), as follows:

 

 

§

Removes the quantitative-based assessment for consolidation of VIEs and, instead, requires a qualitative assessment of whether an entity has the power to direct the VIE’s activities, and whether the entity has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to reserve benefits that could be significant to the VIE; and

 

§

Requires an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

 

In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-10, “Consolidation (ASC Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds” (ASU 2010-10), which primarily defers ASU 2009-17 for an investment in an entity that is accounted for as an investment company.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-17 and ASU 2010-10 are effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009, and for subsequent interim and annual reporting periods. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-17 and ASU 2010-10.

 

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16 “Transfers & Servicing (ASC Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” (“ASU 2009-16”), which eliminates the QSPE concept and requires a transferor of financial assets to:

 

 

§

Consider the transferor’s continuing involvement in assets, limiting the circumstances in which a financial asset should be derecognized when the transferor has not transferred the entire asset to an entity that is not consolidated;

 

§

Account for the transfer as a sale only if an entity transfers an entire financial asset and surrenders controls, unless the transfer meets the conditions for a participating interest; and

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

§

Recognize and initially measure at fair value all assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer of financial assets accounted for as a sale.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-16 are effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2009, and for subsequent interim and annual reporting periods. The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2009-16.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from reported results using those estimates.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year classifications.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, certain money market instruments, and other debt issues with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the date the consolidated financial statements, as of December 31, 2009 and for the three years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, were issued.

 

Investments

 

All of the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities are currently designated as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in Shareholder’s equity, after adjustment, if any, for related changes in experience-rated contract allocations, DAC, value of business acquired (“VOBA”), and deferred income taxes.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

The Company analyzes its general account investments to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Factors considered in this analysis include, but are not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes, and changes in ratings of the security.

 

When assessing the Company’s intent to sell a security or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its cost basis, management evaluates facts and circumstances such as, but not limited to, decisions to rebalance the investment portfolio and sales of investments to meet cash flow needs.

 

When the Company has determined it has the intent to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value has declined below amortized cost (“intent impairment”) the individual security is written down from amortized cost to fair value and a corresponding charge is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). If the Company does not intend to sell the security nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the Company has determined that there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis, the OTTI is bifurcated into the amount representing the present value of the decrease in cash flows expected to be collected (“credit impairment”) and the amount related to other factors (“noncredit impairment”). The credit impairment is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The noncredit impairment is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 320.

 

In order to determine the amount of the OTTI that is considered a credit impairment, the Company estimates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based upon the best estimate of expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the underlying debt security. The effective interest rate is the original yield for a fixed rate security or current coupon yield for a floating rate security.

Experience-Rated Products

Included in available-for-sale securities are investments that support experience-rated products. Experience-rated products are products where the customer, not the Company, assumes investment (including realized capital gains and losses) and other risks, subject to, among other things, minimum principal and interest guarantees. Unamortized realized capital gains (losses) on the sale of and unrealized capital gains (losses) on investments supporting these products are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Net realized capital gains (losses) on all other investments are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Unrealized capital gains (losses) on all other investments are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder’s equity, net of DAC and VOBA adjustments, and related income taxes. During 2008 and 2009, due to the economic environment, which resulted in significant realized and unrealized losses associated with assets supporting experience-rated contracts, the Company accelerated the amortization of realized losses and recorded such amounts in Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded unrealized losses in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder’s equity rather than Future policy benefits and claims reserves.

 

Purchases and Sales

Purchases and sales of fixed maturities and equity securities, excluding private placements, are recorded on the trade date. Purchases and sales of private placements and mortgage loans are recorded on the closing date.

 

Valuation of Investments and Derivatives

 

The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC Topic 820. Valuations are obtained from third party commercial pricing services, brokers, and industry-standard, vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs. The valuations obtained from brokers and third-party commercial pricing services are non-binding. The valuations are reviewed and validated monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

 

All valuation methods and assumptions are validated at least quarterly to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the fair values. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values during 2009.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating reported values for the investments and derivatives described below:

 

Fixed maturities, available-for-sale: The fair values for the actively traded marketable bonds are determined based upon the quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market, excluding subprime residential mortgage-backed securities, are obtained through several commercial pricing services, which provide the estimated fair values and are classified as Level 2 assets. These services incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation techniques, including benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data.

 

Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model and are classified as Level 2 assets. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees, and the Company’s evaluation of the borrower’s ability to compete in its relevant market. Using this data, the model generates estimated market values which the Company considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond.

 

The fair values for certain collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO-Bs”) are determined by taking the average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided. Approximately three broker quotes are currently being provided for these securities. A few of the CMO-Bs are priced by the originating broker due to the complexity and unique characteristics of the assets. CMO-Bs are classified as Level 3 assets due to the lack of corroborating evidence to support a higher level and the inactivity of the market for these bonds.

 

Trading activity for the Company’s Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (“RMBS”), particularly subprime and Alt-A RMBS, declined during 2008 as a result of the dislocation of the credit markets. During 2008 and 2009, the Company continued to obtain pricing information from commercial pricing services and brokers. However, the pricing for subprime and Alt-A RMBS did not represent regularly occurring market transactions since the trading activity declined significantly in the second half of 2008. As a result, the Company concluded in the second half of 2008 that the market for subprime and Alt-A RMBS was inactive and classified these securities as Level 3 assets. The Company did not change its valuation procedures, which are consistent with those used for Level 2 marketable bonds without an active market, as a result of

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

determining that the market was inactive. While the market for subprime and Alt-A RMBS remained largely inactive in the first half of 2009 compared to prior years, the Company noted an increase in trade activity of Alt-A RMBS during the second half of 2009. Therefore, the Company determined that the Alt-A RMBS should be transferred to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as its overall assessment of the market is that it is now active. The market for subprime RMBS remains largely inactive, and as such these securities will remain in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company will continue to monitor market activity for RMBS to determine proper classification in the valuation hierarchy.

 

Broker quotes and prices obtained from pricing services are reviewed and validated monthly through an internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes. At December 31, 2009, $93.4 and $11.2 billion of a total of $15.7 billion in fixed maturities were valued using unadjusted broker quotes and unadjusted prices obtained from pricing services, respectively, and verified through the review process. The remaining balance in fixed maturities consisted primarily of privately placed bonds valued using a matrix-based pricing model and CMO-Bs valued using average broker quotes.

 

Generally, the Company does not obtain more than one vendor price from pricing services per instrument. The Company uses a hierarchy process in which prices are obtained from a primary vendor, and, if that vendor is unable to provide the price, the next vendor in the hierarchy is contacted until a price is obtained or it is determined that a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service. When a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service, broker quotes are solicited. All prices and broker quotes obtained, with the exception of CMO-B securities, go through the review process described above, including valuations for which only one broker quote is obtained. After review, for those instruments where the price is determined to be appropriate, the unadjusted price provided is used for financial statement valuation. If it is determined that the price is questionable, another price may be requested from a different vendor. The internal valuation committee then reviews all prices for the instrument again, along with information from the review, to determine which price best represents “exit price” for the instrument.

Equity securities, available-for-sale: Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based upon quoted market price and are classified as Level 1 assets. Other equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are valued by other sources such as analytics or brokers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

 

Short-term investments: The fair values for certain short-term investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1. Other short-term investments are valued and classified in the fair value hierarchy consistent with the policies described herein, depending on investment type.

 

Derivatives: The carrying amounts for these financial instruments, which can be assets or liabilities, reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Derivatives are carried at fair value (on the Consolidated Balance Sheets), which is determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third party sources, such as yield curves, exchange rates, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, and London Inter Bank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), or through values established by third party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. It is the Company’s policy to transact only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. Valuations for the Company’s futures contracts are based on unadjusted quoted prices from an active exchange and, therefore, are classified as Level 1. The Company also has certain credit default swaps that are priced using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level 3.

Product guarantees: The Company records reserves for product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is required to be reported at fair value. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach as described in ASC 820. The income associated with the contracts is projected using relevant actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other best estimate assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 assets. Explicit risk margins in the

actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks as required by US GAAP. Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contains adjustments to the fair values of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING and the Company based on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment. The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair values of these product guarantees. As of December 31, 2009, the credit spread of ING and the Company changed in relation to prior periods, which resulted in an increase in the value of the derivatives for product guarantees.

 

The following investments are reported at values other than fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and are therefore not categorized in the fair value hierarchy:

 

Mortgage loans on real estate: Mortgage loans on real estate are reported at amortized cost, less impairment write-downs and allowance for losses. If the value of any mortgage loan is determined to be impaired (i.e., when it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement), the carrying value of the mortgage loan is reduced to either the present value of expected cash flows from the loan, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, or fair value of the collateral. For those mortgages that are determined to require foreclosure, the carrying value is reduced to the fair value of the underlying collateral, net of estimated costs to obtain and sell at the point of foreclosure. The carrying value of the impaired loans is reduced by establishing a permanent write-down recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses).

 

Policy loans: The reported value of policy loans is equal to the carrying, or cash surrender, value of the loans. Policy loans are fully collateralized by the account value of the associated insurance contracts.

 

Loan - Dutch State obligation: The reported value of the State of the Netherlands (the “Dutch State”) loan obligation is based on the outstanding loan balance plus any unamortized premium.

 

Limited partnerships/corporations: The carrying value for these investments, primarily private equities and hedge funds, is determined based on the Company’s degree of influence over the investee’s operating and financial policies along with the percent of the investee that the Company owns. Those investments where the Company has determined it has significant influence are accounted for under the equity method, with the remainder accounted for under the cost method.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about various financial instruments, such as estimates of timing and amounts of future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized capital gains (losses). In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments.

 

Repurchase Agreements

 

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements with mortgage-backed securities (“dollar rolls”) and repurchase agreements with other collateral types to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. Such arrangements typically meet the requirements to be accounted for as financing arrangements. The Company enters into dollar roll transactions by selling existing mortgage-backed securities and concurrently entering into an agreement to repurchase similar securities within a short time frame in the future at a lower price. Under repurchase agreements, the Company borrows cash from a counterparty at an agreed upon interest rate for an agreed upon time frame and pledges collateral in the form of securities. At the end of the agreement, the counterparty returns the collateral to the Company and the Company, in turn, repays the loan amount along with the additional agreed upon interest. Company policy requires that at all times during the term of the dollar roll and repurchase agreements that cash or other collateral types obtained is sufficient to allow the Company to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets (the “Required Collateral Value Amount”). Cash collateral received is invested in short term investments, with the offsetting collateral liability included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2009, there are no securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions. At December 31, 2008, the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions was $657.2 and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, totaled $0.1 and $615.3, respectively at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and is included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The Company also enters into reverse repurchase agreements. These transactions involve a purchase of securities and an agreement to sell substantially the same securities as those purchased. Company policy requires that, at all times during the term of the reverse repurchase agreements, cash or other collateral types provided is sufficient to allow the counterparty to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any securities pledged under reverse repurchase agreements.

 

The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, an amount that was immaterial at December 31, 2009. The Company believes the counterparties to the dollar rolls, repurchase, and reverse repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal, based on counterparty ongoing monitoring processes.

 

Securities Lending

 

The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Initial collateral, primarily cash, is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned domestic securities. The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent according to the Company’s guidelines to generate additional income. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of loaned securities was $339.5 and $474.8, respectively, and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Derivatives

The Company’s use of derivatives is limited mainly to hedging purposes to reduce the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, and market risk. Generally, derivatives are not accounted for using hedge accounting treatment under US GAAP, as the Company has not historically sought hedge accounting treatment.

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The Company enters into interest rate, equity market, credit default, and currency contracts, including swaps, caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage risks associated with changes in value, yield, price, cash flow, or exchange rates of assets or liabilities held or intended to be held, or to assume or reduce credit exposure associated with a referenced asset, index, or pool. The Company also utilizes options and futures on equity indices to reduce and manage risks associated with its annuity products. Open derivative contracts are reported as either Other investments or Other liabilities, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of such derivatives are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

If the Company’s current debt and claims paying ratings were downgraded in the future, the terms in the Company’s derivative agreements may be triggered, which could negatively impact overall liquidity. For the majority of the Company’s counterparties, there is a termination event should the Company’s long term debt ratings drop below BBB+/Baa1.

 

The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has issued certain products with guarantees, that contain embedded derivatives whose market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity markets, or credit ratings/spreads.

 

Embedded derivatives within fixed maturity instruments are included in Fixed maturities, available-for-sale, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in fair value are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Embedded derivatives within retail annuity products are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value are recorded in Interest credited and benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

 

General

 

DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization. Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and renewal business.

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

VOBA represents the outstanding value of in force business capitalized in purchase accounting when the Company was acquired and is subject to amortization. The value is based on the present value of estimated profits embedded in the Company’s contracts.

 

Current US GAAP guidance for universal life and investment-type products, such as fixed and variable deferred annuities, indicates DAC and VOBA are amortized, with interest, over the life of the related contracts in relation to the present value of estimated future gross profits from investment, mortality, and expense margins, plus surrender charges.

 

Internal Replacements

 

Contractowners may periodically exchange one contract for another, or make modifications to an existing contract. Beginning January 1, 2007, these transactions are identified as internal replacements and are accounted for in accordance with current US GAAP guidance for DAC related to modification or exchange of insurance contracts.

 

Internal replacements that are determined to result in substantially unchanged contracts are accounted for as continuations of the replaced contracts. Any costs associated with the issuance of the new contracts are considered maintenance costs and expensed as incurred. Unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts continue to be deferred and amortized in connection with the new contracts, as follows:

 

 

§

For deferred annuities, the estimated future gross profits of the new contracts are treated as revisions to the estimated future gross profits of the replaced contracts in the determination of amortization.

 

§

As of January 1, 2007, internal replacements that are determined to result in contracts that are substantially changed are accounted for as extinguishments of the replaced contracts, and any unamortized DAC and VOBA related to the replaced contracts are written off to Net amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs and value of business acquired in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Unlocking

 

Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC and VOBA balances and amortization rates. Several assumptions are considered significant in the estimation of future gross profits associated with variable deferred annuity products. One of the most significant assumptions involved in the estimation of future gross profits is the assumed return associated with the variable account performance. To reflect the volatility in the equity markets, this assumption involves a combination of near-term expectations and long-term assumptions regarding market performance. The overall return on the variable account is dependent on multiple factors, including the relative mix of the underlying sub-accounts among bond funds and equity funds, as well as equity sector weightings. Other significant assumptions include surrender and lapse rates, estimated interest spread, and estimated mortality.

 

Due to the relative size and sensitivity to minor changes in underlying assumptions of DAC and VOBA balances, the Company performs quarterly and annual analyses of DAC and VOBA. The DAC and VOBA balances are evaluated for recoverability.

 

At each evaluation date, actual historical gross profits are reflected, and estimated future gross profits and related assumptions are evaluated for continued reasonableness. Any adjustment in estimated future gross profits requires that the amortization rate be revised (“unlocking”), retroactively to the date of the policy or contract issuance. The cumulative unlocking adjustment is recognized as a component of current period amortization. In general, sustained increases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, lower the rate of amortization. Sustained decreases in investment, mortality, and expense margins, and thus estimated future gross profits, however, increase the rate of amortization.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for replacements and major improvements are capitalized; maintenance and repair expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, total accumulated depreciation and amortization was $92.0 and $103.0, respectively. Depreciation on property and equipment is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets with the exception of land and artwork, which are not depreciated or amortized. The Company’s property and equipment are depreciated using the following estimated useful lives.

Furniture and fixtures

5 years

Leasehold improvements

10 years, or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter

Reserves

 

The Company records as liabilities reserves to meet the Company’s future obligations under its variable annuity and fixed annuity products.

 

Future policy benefits and claims reserves include reserves for deferred annuities and immediate annuities with and without life contingent payouts.

 

Reserves for individual and group deferred annuity investment contracts and individual immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon, net of adjustments for investment experience that the Company is entitled to reflect in future credited interest. Credited interest rates vary by product and range from 0.0% to 7.8% for the years 2009, 2008, and 2007. Certain reserves also may include net unrealized gains and losses related to investments and unamortized net realized gains and losses on investments for experience-rated contracts. Reserves on experience-rated contracts reflect the rights of contractowners, plan participants, and the Company. During 2009 and 2008, given the economic environment, which resulted in significant net realized and unrealized losses, the Company did not include the net unrealized and unamortized realized losses associated with experienced-rated contracts in Future policy benefits and claims reserves. The net unrealized losses on investments supporting experience-rated contracts are reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income, and the amortization of realized losses has been recorded in Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners. Reserves for group immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discounted value of the payment at the implied break-even rate.

 


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Reserves for individual immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits are computed on the basis of assumed interest discount rates, mortality, and expenses, including a margin for adverse deviations. Such assumptions generally vary by annuity type plan, year of issue, and policy duration. For the years 2009, 2008, and 2007, reserve interest rates ranged from 5.3% to 6.0%.

 

The Company records reserves for product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates. The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is reported at fair value in accordance with the requirements of US GAAP guidance for insurance companies, derivatives, and fair value measurements. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach. The income associated with the contracts is projected using relevant actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other best estimate assumptions. Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks beginning January 1, 2008 with the adoption of new US GAAP guidance on fair value measurements. Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contain adjustment to the fair value of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING and the Company based on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment. The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair value of these product guarantees.

 

Unpaid claims and claim expenses for all lines of insurance include benefits for reported losses and estimates of benefits for losses incurred but not reported.

 

Certain variable annuities offer guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”). The GMDB is accrued in the event the contractowner account value at death is below the guaranteed value and is included in reserves.

 

The Company’s domestic individual life insurance business was disposed of on October 1, 1998 via an indemnity reinsurance agreement. The Company includes an amount in Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which equals the Company’s total individual life reserves. Individual life reserves are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Recognition

 

For most annuity contracts, charges assessed against contractowner funds for the cost of insurance, surrenders, expenses, and other fees are recorded as revenue as charges are assessed. Other amounts received for these contracts are reflected as deposits and are not recorded as premiums or revenue. When annuity payments with life contingencies begin under contracts that were initially investment contracts, the accumulated balance in the account is treated as a single premium for the purchase of an annuity and reflected in both Premiums and Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Premiums on the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily represent amounts received for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts.

 

Separate Accounts

 

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet specific investment objectives of contractowners who bear the investment risk, subject, in limited cases, to certain minimum guarantees. Investment income and investment gains and losses generally accrue directly to such contractowners. The assets of each account are legally segregated and are not subject to claims that arise out of any other business of the Company or its affiliates.

 

Separate account assets supporting variable options under variable annuity contracts are invested, as designated by the contractowner or participant (who bears the investment risk subject, in limited cases, to minimum guaranteed rates) under a contract, in shares of mutual funds that are managed by the Company or its affiliates, or in other selected mutual funds not managed by the Company or its affiliates.

 

The Company reports separately, as assets and liabilities, investments held in the separate accounts and liabilities of separate accounts if:

 

 

§

such separate accounts are legally recognized;

 

§

assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company’s general account liabilities;

 

§

investments are directed by the contractholder;

 

§

and, all investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contractholder.

The Company reports separate account assets and liabilities that meet the above criteria at fair value based on the fair value of the underlying investments. Investment income and net realized and unrealized capital gains (losses) of the separate accounts, however, are not reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows do not reflect investment activity of the separate accounts.

 

Assets and liabilities of separate account arrangements that do not meet the above criteria for separate presentation in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (primarily the guaranteed interest option), and revenue and expenses related to such arrangements, are consolidated in the financial statements with the general account. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, unrealized capital losses of $8.8 and $53.2, respectively, after taxes, on assets supporting a guaranteed interest option are reflected in Shareholder’s equity.

 

Reinsurance

 

The Company utilizes indemnity reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to losses from GMDBs in its annuity insurance business. Reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the Company’s primary liability as the direct insurer of the risks. The Company evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial strength and credit ratings of its reinsurers. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are reflected as assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company has a significant concentration of reinsurance arising from the disposition of its individual life insurance business. In 1998, the Company entered into an indemnity reinsurance agreement with a subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation (“Lincoln”). The Lincoln subsidiary established a trust to secure it obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction. Of the Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, $2.4 billion and $2.5 billion at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, is related to the reinsurance recoverable from a subsidiary of Lincoln under this reinsurance agreement.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company is taxed at regular corporate rates after adjusting income reported for financial statement purposes for certain items. Deferred income tax expenses/benefits result from changes during the year in cumulative temporary differences between the tax basis and book basis of assets and liabilities.

At December 31, 2009, net unrealized gains were $146.2 and at December 31, 2008, net unrealized losses were $1,322.9 on total fixed maturities, including securities pledged to creditors, and equity securities. During 2009 and 2008, as a result of the economic environment, which resulted in significant losses on investments supporting experience-rated contracts, the Company reflected all unrealized losses in Shareholder’s equity rather than Future policy benefits and claims reserves and no net unrealized losses were allocated to experience-rated contracts.

The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government and government agencies and the Dutch State loan obligation, with a carrying value in excess of 10.0% of the Company’s Shareholder’s equity at December 31, 2009 or 2008.

 

At December 31, 2009 and 2008, fixed maturities with fair values of $12.9 and $14.2, respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities.

 

The Company invests in various categories of collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), including CMOs that are not agency-backed, that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to dramatic decreases and increases in interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying mortgages, either earlier or later than originally anticipated. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately 29.4% and 15.7%, respectively, of the Company’s CMO holdings were invested in those types of CMOs which are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs, such as interest-only or principal-only strips.

Certain CMOs, primarily interest-only and principal-only strips are accounted for as hybrid instruments and valued at fair value as allowed under a provision of current US GAAP. The fair value of these instruments at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $233.5 and $134.0, respectively, and is included in Fixed maturities, available for sale, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The impact to Other net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these hybrid instruments was $57.0 and $6.0 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

Transfer of Alt-A RMBS Participation Interest

 

On January 26, 2009, ING announced it reached an agreement, for itself and on behalf of certain ING affiliates including the Company, with the Dutch State on an Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility (the “Back-Up Facility”) covering 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS. Under the terms of the Back-Up Facility, a full credit risk transfer to the Dutch State was realized on 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS owned by ING Bank, FSB and ING affiliates within ING Insurance Americas with a book value of $36.0 billion, including book value of $802.5 of the Alt-A RMBS portfolio owned by the Company (with respect to the Company’s portfolio, the “Designated Securities Portfolio”) (the “ING-Dutch State Transaction”). As a result of the risk transfer, the Dutch State will participate in 80% of any results of the ING Alt-A RMBS portfolio. The risk transfer to the Dutch State took place at a discount of approximately 10% of par value. In addition, under the Back-Up Facility, other fees were paid both by the Company and the Dutch State. Each ING company participating in the ING-Dutch State Transaction, including the Company remains the legal owner of 100% of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio and will remain exposed to 20% of any results on the portfolio. The ING-Dutch State Transaction closed March 31, 2009, with the affiliate participation conveyance and risk transfer to the Dutch State described in the succeeding paragraph taking effect as of January 26, 2009.

 

In order to implement that portion of the ING-Dutch State Transaction related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio, the Company entered into a participation agreement with its affiliates, ING Support Holding B.V. (“ING Support Holding”) and ING pursuant to which the Company conveyed to ING Support Holding an 80% participation interest in its Designated Securities Portfolio and will pay a periodic transaction fee, and received, as consideration for the participation, an assignment by ING Support Holding of its right to receive payments from the Dutch State under the Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility related to the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio among, ING, ING Support Holding and the Dutch State (the “Company Back-Up Facility”). Under the Company Back-Up Facility, the Dutch State is obligated to pay certain periodic fees and make certain periodic payments with respect to the Company’s

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Designated Securities Portfolio, and ING Support Holding is obligated to pay a periodic guarantee fee and make periodic payments to the Dutch State equal to the distributions made with respect to the 80% participation interest in the Company’s Designated Securities Portfolio. The Dutch State payment obligation to the Company under the Company Back-Up Facility is accounted for as a loan receivable for US GAAP and is reported in Loan - Dutch State obligation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Upon the closing of the transaction on March 31, 2009, the Company recognized a gain of $206.2, which was reported in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

In a second transaction, known as the Step 1 Cash Transfer, a portion of the Company’s Alt-A RMBS which had a book value of $4.2 was sold for cash to an affiliate, Lion II Custom Investments LLC (“Lion II”). Immediately thereafter, Lion II sold to ING Direct Bancorp the purchased securities (the “Step 2 Cash Transfer”). Contemporaneous with the Step 2 Cash Transfer, ING Direct Bancorp included such purchased securities as part of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio sale to the Dutch State. The Step 1 Cash Transfer closed on March 31, 2009, and the Company recognized a gain of $0.3 contemporaneous with the closing of the ING-Dutch State Transaction, which was reported in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

As part of the final restructuring plan submitted to the European Commission (“EC”) in connection with its review of the Dutch state aid to ING (the “Restructuring Plan”), ING has agreed to make additional payments to the Dutch State corresponding to an adjustment of fees for the Back-Up Facility. Under this new agreement, the terms of the ING-Dutch State Transaction which closed on March 31, 2009, including the transfer price of the Alt-A RMBS securities, will remain unaltered and the additional payments will not be borne by the Company or any other ING U.S. subsidiaries.

 

Equity Securities

 

Equity securities, available-for-sale, included investments with fair values of $119.0 and $141.0 in ING proprietary funds as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Repurchase Agreements

 

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements with mortgage-backed securities (“dollar rolls”) and repurchase agreements with other collateral types to increase its return on investments and improve liquidity. Such arrangements typically meet the requirements to be accounted for as financing arrangements. The Company enters into dollar roll transactions by selling existing mortgage-backed securities and concurrently entering into an agreement to repurchase similar securities within a short time frame in the future at a lower price. Under repurchase agreements, the Company borrows cash from a counterparty at an agreed upon interest rate for an agreed upon time frame and pledges collateral in the form of securities. At the end of the agreement, the counterparty returns the collateral to the Company and the Company, in turn, repays the loan amount along with the additional agreed upon interest. Company policy requires that at all times during the term of the dollar roll and repurchase agreements that cash or other collateral types obtained is sufficient to allow the Company to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets (the “Required Collateral Value Amount”). Cash collateral received is invested in short term investments, with the offsetting collateral liability included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2009, there are no securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions. At December 31, 2008, the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions was $657.2 and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The repurchase obligation related to dollar rolls and repurchase agreements, including accrued interest, totaled $0.1 and $615.3, respectively at December 31, 2009 and 2008, and is included in Borrowed money on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The Company also enters into reverse repurchase agreements. These transactions involve a purchase of securities and an agreement to sell substantially the same securities as those purchased. Company policy requires that, at all times during the term of the reverse repurchase agreements, cash or other collateral types provided is sufficient to allow the counterparty to fund substantially all of the cost of purchasing replacement assets. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any securities pledged under reverse repurchase agreements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The primary risk associated with short-term collateralized borrowings is that the counterparty will be unable to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company’s exposure is limited to the excess of the net replacement cost of the securities over the value of the short-term investments, an amount that was immaterial at December 31, 2009. The Company believes the counterparties to the dollar rolls, repurchase, and reverse repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal, based on counterparty ongoing monitoring processes.

 

Securities Lending

 

The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. Initial collateral, primarily cash, is required at a rate of 102% of the market value of the loaned domestic securities. The collateral is deposited by the borrower with a lending agent, and retained and invested by the lending agent according to the Company’s guidelines to generate additional income. The market value of the loaned securities is monitored on a daily basis with additional collateral obtained or refunded as the market value of the loaned securities fluctuates. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the fair value of loaned securities was $339.5 and $474.8, respectively, and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company holds certain VIEs for investment purposes. VIEs may be in the form of private placement securities, structured securities, securitization transactions, or limited partnerships. The Company has reviewed each of its holdings under current guidance and determined that consolidation of these investments in the Company’s financial statements is not required, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary for any of the investments in VIEs. Rather, the VIEs are accounted for using the cost or equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company may be exposed to the loss of asset management fees it receives for some of these structures. The carrying value of investments in VIEs of $0.1 at December 31, 2009 are included in Limited partnerships/corporations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and losses recognized on these investments are reported in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2009, unrealized capital losses on fixed maturities decreased by $1.1 billion primarily due to the transfer of 80% interest in the Alt-A RMBS securities owned by the Company as a result of the Alt-A transaction with the Dutch State during the first quarter of 2009. In addition, improved economic conditions and tightening of credit spreads in 2009 served to increase the value of fixed maturities. These improvements were partially offset by the impact of the implementation of new US GAAP guidance on impairments in the second quarter of 2009, when certain noncredit impairments were reclassified into Other comprehensive income (loss), which previously were reported in Net realized capital gains (losses).

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

At both December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company held 8 fixed maturities with unrealized capital losses in excess of $10.0. The unrealized capital losses on these fixed maturities equaled $118.2, or 17.7% and $206.3 or 11.7% of the total unrealized capital losses, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

The fair value of the Company’s fixed maturities, including securities pledged, increased $1.2 billion before tax and DAC, from December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2009 primarily due to improved economic conditions and tightening of credit spreads in 2009.

 

All securities with fair values less than amortized cost are included in the Company’s other-than-temporary impairment analysis, and impairments were recognized as disclosed in “Other-Than-Temporary Impairments,” which follows this section. Management determined that no additional recognition of the unrealized loss as an other-than-temporary impairment was necessary.

 

Other-Than-Temporary Impairments

 

The Company analyzes its general account investments to determine whether there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis. Factors considered in this analysis include, but are not limited to, the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost, the issuer’s financial condition and near-term prospects, future economic conditions and market forecasts, interest rate changes, and changes in ratings of the security.

 

When assessing the Company’s intent to sell a security or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its cost basis, management evaluates facts and circumstances such as, but not limited to, decisions to rebalance the investment portfolio and sales of investments to meet cash flow needs.

 

When the Company has determined it has the intent to sell or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized cost basis and the fair value has declined below amortized cost (“intent impairment”) the individual security is written down from amortized cost to fair value and a corresponding charge is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”). If the Company does not intend to sell the security nor is it more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, but the Company has determined that there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis, the OTTI is bifurcated into the amount representing the present value of the decrease

in cash flows expected to be collected (“credit impairment”) and the amount related to other factors (“noncredit impairment”). The credit impairment is recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The noncredit impairment is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 320.

 

In order to determine the amount of the OTTI that is considered a credit impairment, the Company estimates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based upon the best estimate of expected future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate implicit in the underlying debt security. The effective interest rate is the original yield for a fixed rate security or current coupon yield for a floating rate security.

 

The following table identifies the Company’s credit-related and intent-related impairments included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, excluding noncredit impairments included in Other comprehensive income (loss) by type for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.

The decline in Net realized capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2009, was primarily due to a decline in impairments related to improved market conditions which began in the latter part of the first quarter of 2009, as well as the implementation of new US GAAP guidance on impairments in the second quarter of 2009, which resulted in the transfer of noncredit related impairments to Other comprehensive income (loss). Also contributing to the decline was a gain of $206.2 recognized in the first quarter of 2009 on the transfer of an 80% interest in the Company’s Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities to the Dutch State as well as gains on the sale of equity securities driven by improvements in equity market conditions.

 

Net realized capital gains (losses) allocated to experience-rated contracts are deducted from Net realized capital gains (losses) and an offsetting amount was reflected in Future policy benefits and claim reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2008 and continuing in 2009, as a result of the economic environment, which resulted in significant realized losses associated with experience-rated contracts, the Company accelerated amortization of realized losses rather than reflect those losses in Future policy benefits and claims reserves. During 2009 and 2008, the Company fully amortized $11.3 and $624.4, respectively, of net unamortized realized capital losses allocated to experience-rated contractowners, which are reflected in Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net unamortized realized capital gains allocated to experienced-rated contractowners were $53.8 at

Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy

 

The Company has categorized its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the category level is based on the lowest priority level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

Financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized as follows:

 

 

§

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market.

 

§

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

 

a)

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

 

b)

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets;

 

c)

Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable; and

 

d)

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means.

 

§

Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability.

 

The following tables present the Company’s hierarchy for its assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

The Company utilizes a number of valuation methodologies to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities in conformity with the concepts of “exit price” and the fair value hierarchy as prescribed in ASC Topic 820. Valuations are obtained from third party commercial pricing services, brokers, and industry-standard, vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs. The valuations obtained from brokers and third party commercial pricing services are non-binding. The valuations are reviewed and validated monthly through the internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes.

 

All valuation methods and assumptions are validated at least quarterly to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the fair values. There were no material changes to the valuation methods or assumptions used to determine fair values during 2009.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments:

 

Fixed maturities, available-for-sale: The fair values for the actively traded marketable bonds are determined based upon the quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets. The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market, excluding subprime residential mortgage-backed securities, are obtained through several commercial pricing services, which provide the estimated fair values, and are classified as Level 2 assets. These services incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation techniques, including benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data.

 

Fair values of privately placed bonds are determined using a matrix-based pricing model and are classified as Level 2 assets. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, current corporate spreads, the credit quality of the issuer, and cash flow characteristics of the security. Also considered are factors such as the net worth of the borrower, the value of collateral, the capital structure of the borrower, the presence of guarantees, and the Company’s evaluation of the borrower’s ability to compete in its relevant market. Using this data, the model generates estimated market values, which the Company considers reflective of the fair value of each privately placed bond.

 

The fair values for certain collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO-Bs”) are determined by taking the average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided. Approximately three broker quotes are currently being provided for these securities. A few of the CMO-Bs are priced by the originating broker due to the complexity and unique characteristics of the assets. CMO-Bs are classified as Level 3 assets due to the lack of corroborating evidence to support a higher level and the inactivity of the market for these bonds.

 

Trading activity for the Company’s Residential Mortgage-backed Securities (“RMBS”), particularly subprime and Alt-A RMBS, declined during 2008 as a result of the dislocation of the credit markets. During 2008 and 2009, the Company continued to obtain pricing information from commercial pricing services and brokers. However, the pricing for subprime and Alt-A RMBS did not represent regularly occurring market transactions since the trading activity declined significantly in the second half of 2008. As a result, the Company concluded in the second half of 2008 that the market for subprime and Alt-A RMBS was inactive and classified these securities as Level 3 assets. The Company did not change its valuation procedures, which are consistent with those used for Level 2 marketable bonds without an active market, as a result of determining that the market was inactive. While the market for subprime and Alt-

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

A RMBS remained largely inactive in the first half of 2009 compared to prior years, the Company noted an increase in trade activity of Alt-A RMBS during the second half of 2009. Therefore, the Company determined that the Alt-A RMBS should be transferred to Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy as its overall assessment of the market is that it is now active. The market for subprime RMBS remains largely inactive, and as such these securities will remain in Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. The Company will continue to monitor market activity for RMBS to determine proper classification in the valuation hierarchy.

 

Broker quotes and prices obtained from pricing services are reviewed and validated monthly through an internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes. At December 31, 2009, $93.4 and $11.2 billion of a total of $15.7 billion in fixed maturities were valued using unadjusted broker quotes and unadjusted prices obtained from pricing services, respectively, and verified through the review process. The remaining balance in fixed maturities consisted primarily of privately placed bonds valued using a matrix-based pricing model and CMO-Bs valued using average broker quotes.

 

Generally, the Company does not obtain more than one vendor price from pricing services per instrument. The Company uses a hierarchy process in which prices are obtained from a primary vendor, and, if that vendor is unable to provide the price, the next vendor in the hierarchy is contacted until a price is obtained or it is determined that a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service. When a price cannot be obtained from a commercial pricing service, broker quotes are solicited. All prices and broker quotes obtained, with the exception of CMO-B securities, go through the review process described above including valuations for which only one broker quote is obtained. After review, for those instruments where the price is determined to be appropriate, the unadjusted price provided is used for financial statement valuation. If it is determined that the price is questionable, another price may be requested from a different vendor. The internal valuation committee then reviews all prices for the instrument again, along with information from the review, to determine which price best represents “exit price” for the instrument.

 

Equity securities, available-for-sale: Fair values of publicly traded equity securities are based upon quoted market price and are classified as Level 1 assets. Other equity securities, typically private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, are valued by other sources such as analytics or brokers and are classified as Level 3 assets.

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments, and Short-term investments under securities loan agreement: The carrying amounts for cash reflect the assets’ fair values. The fair values for cash equivalents and short-term investments are determined based on quoted market prices. These assets are classified as Level 1. Other short-term investments are valued and classified in the fair value hierarchy consistent with the policies described herein, depending on investment type.

 

Assets held in separate accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the quoted fair values of the underlying investments in the separate accounts. The underlying investments include mutual funds, short-term investments and cash, the valuations of which are based upon a quoted market price and are included in Level 1. Bond valuations are obtained from third party commercial pricing services and brokers and are classified in the fair value hierarchy as Level 1 or Level 2 assets consistent with the policies described above for Fixed maturities.

 

Derivatives: The carrying amounts for these financial instruments, which can be assets or liabilities, reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities. Derivatives are carried at fair value (on the Consolidated Balance Sheets), which is determined using the Company’s derivative accounting system in conjunction with observable key financial data from third party sources, such as yield curves, exchange rates, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index prices, and London Inter Bank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”), or through values established by third party brokers. Counterparty credit risk is considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process through counterparty credit rating requirements and monitoring of overall exposure. It is the Company’s policy to transact only with investment grade counterparties with a credit rating of A- or better. Valuations for the Company’s futures contracts are based on unadjusted quoted prices from an active exchange and, therefore, are classified as Level 1. The Company also has certain credit default swaps that are priced using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level 3. However, all other derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

 

Product guarantees: The Company records reserves for product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates in accordance with ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative or a stand-alone derivative (depending on the underlying product) and is required to be reported at fair value. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on the income approach as described in ASC 820. The income associated with the contracts is projected using relevant actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related

contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other best estimate assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 assets. Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks as required by US GAAP. Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contains adjustments to the fair values of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING and the Company based on credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment. The ING credit default spread is applied to the discount factors for product guarantees in the Company’s valuation model in order to incorporate credit risk into the fair values of these product guarantees. As of December 31, 2009, the credit spread of ING and the Company changed in relation to prior periods, which resulted in an increase in the value of the derivatives for product guarantees.

 

The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC 825, “Financial Instruments”, which requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate that value. In cases where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using present value or other valuation techniques. Those techniques are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. In that regard, the derived fair value estimates, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

 

ASC 825 excludes certain financial instruments, including insurance contracts, and all nonfinancial instruments from its disclosure requirements. Accordingly, the aggregate fair value amounts presented do not represent the underlying value of the Company.

 

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of the following financial instruments, which are not carried at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and therefore not categorized in the fair value hierarchy:

 

Limited partnerships/corporations: The fair value for these investments, primarily private equities and hedge funds, is estimated based on the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) as provided by the investee.

Mortgage loans on real estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses and rates currently being offered in the marketplace for similar loans to borrowers with similar credit ratings. Loans with similar characteristics are aggregated for purposes of the calculations.

 

Loan - Dutch State obligation: The fair value of the Dutch State loan obligation is estimated utilizing discounted cash flows at market risk-free rates adjusted for credit spreads.

 

Policy loans: The fair value of policy loans is equal to the carrying, or cash surrender, value of the loans. Policy loans are fully collateralized by the account value of the associated insurance contracts.

 

Investment contract liabilities (included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves):

 

With a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated by discounting cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by, or available to, the Company for similar contracts.

 

Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the amount payable to the contractowner upon demand. However, the Company has the right under such contracts to delay payment of withdrawals, which may ultimately result in paying an amount different than that determined to be payable on demand.

 

Notes receivable from affiliates: Estimated fair value of the Company’s notes receivable from affiliates is based upon discounted future cash flows using a discount rate approximating the current market value.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on available market information and judgments about various financial instruments, such as estimates of timing and amounts of future cash flows. Such estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument, nor do they consider the tax impact of the realization of unrealized capital gains (losses). In many cases, the fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets, nor can the disclosed value be realized in immediate settlement of the instruments. In evaluating the Company’s management of interest rate, price, and liquidity risks, the fair values of all assets and liabilities should be taken into consideration, not only those presented above.

The fair values of certain assets and liabilities are determined using prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement (i.e., Level 3 as defined by ASC 820), including but not limited to liquidity spreads for investments within markets deemed not currently active. These valuations, whether derived internally or obtained from a third party, use critical assumptions that are not widely available to estimate market participant expectations in valuing the asset or liability. In addition, the Company has determined, for certain financial instruments, an active market is such a significant input to determine fair value that the presence of an inactive market may lead to classification in Level 3. In light of the methodologies employed to obtain the fair value of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3, additional information is presented below, with particular attention addressed to the reserves for product guarantees due to the impact on the Company’s results of operations.

Changes in Level 3 fair value balances are discussed below by investment type.

 

Fixed Maturities available-for-sale, including securities pledged: The amount of Level 3 fixed maturities for the year ended December 31, 2009, declined mainly due to the transfer of 80% interest in the Company’s Alt-A residential mortgage-backed securities to the Dutch State during the first quarter of 2009. The unrealized capital gains on Level 3 fixed maturities for the year ended December 31, 2009, represent the decrease in unrealized losses due to the decrease in the Level 3 fixed maturities portfolio related to the Dutch State Transaction, as well as increases in the value of fixed maturities as the markets improved in the latter part of 2009. Transfers out of Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2009, represent the movement of Alt-A mortgage-backed securities to Level 2, as the market became active again for these securities at the end of 2009. The increase in Level 3 fixed maturities for the year ended December 31, 2008, was related to the Company’s determination that subprime and Alt-A RMBS should be classified as Level 3 due to decreased levels of corroborating market activity for these securities.

 

Equity securities, available-for-sale: Equity securities transferred into Level 3 in 2009 represent private equities or equity securities not traded on an exchange, which are valued by sources other than a pricing service such as analytics or brokers.

 

Derivatives: Fair value of Level 3 derivatives declined for the year ended December 31, 2009, primarily due to the transfer from Level 3 to Level 1 of futures contracts, which are valued based on unadjusted prices from an active exchange. Level 3 derivatives for the year ended December 31, 2008 increased due to the transfer in of subprime and Alt-A RMBS due to significantly reduced market activity.

 

Product guarantees: For the year ended December 31, 2009, the value of the liability related to product guarantees decreased as an increase in interest rates and market values increased customer account balances and decreased the Company’s liability. As of December 31, 2009, the net realized gains attributable to credit risk were $5.0. For the year ended December 31, 2008, liabilities related to product guarantees increased as deterioration in the economic environment led to lower customer account balances and increased the Company’s liability.

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

See the Organization & Significant Accounting Policies footnote for disclosure regarding the Company’s purpose for entering into derivatives and the policies on valuation and classification of derivatives. In addition, the Company’s derivatives are generally not accounted for using hedge accounting treatment under US GAAP, as the Company has not historically sought hedge accounting treatment. The Company enters into the following derivatives:

 

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio, as well as the Company’s liabilities. Interest rate swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of cash flows at regular interim periods, typically monthly or quarterly.

 

Foreign exchange swaps: Foreign exchange swaps are used to reduce the risk of a change in the value, yield, or cash flow with respect to invested assets. Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows for U.S. dollar cash flows at regular interim periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually.

 

Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce the credit loss exposure with respect to certain assets that the Company owns, or to assume credit exposure on certain assets that the Company does not own. Payments are made to or received from the counterparty at specified intervals and amounts for the purchase or sale of credit protection. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive an additional payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make an additional payment (sold credit protection) equal to par minus recovery value of the swap contract.

 

Forwards: Forwards are acquired to hedge the Company’s CMO-B portfolio against movements in interest rates, particularly mortgage rates. On the settlement date, the Company will either receive a payment (interest rate drops on purchased forwards or interest rate rises on sold forwards) or will be required to make a payment (interest rate rises on purchased forwards or interest rate drops on sold forwards).

 

Swaptions: Swaptions are used to manage interest rate risk in the Company’s collateralized mortgage obligations portfolio. Swaptions are contracts that give the Company the option to enter into an interest rate swap at a specific future date.

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Futures: Futures contracts are used to hedge against a decrease in certain equity indices. Such decreases may result in a decrease in variable annuity account values, which would increase the possibility of the Company incurring an expense for guaranteed benefits in excess of account values. A decrease in variable annuity account values would also result in lower fee income. A decrease in equity markets may also negatively impact the Company’s investment in equity securities. The futures income would serve to offset these effects. Futures contracts are also used to hedge against an increase in certain equity indices. Such increases may result in increased payments to contract holders of fixed indexed annuity contracts, and the futures income would serve to offset this increased expense. The underlying reserve liabilities are valued under ASC 820, ASC 815 and ASC 944. The change in reserve liabilities is recorded in Interest credited and other benefits to contractowners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Interest rate caps: Interest rate caps are used to manage the interest rate risk in the Company’s fixed maturity portfolio. Interest rate caps are purchased contracts that are used by the Company to hedge annuity products in an increasing interest rate environment.

 

Managed Custody Guarantees: The Company issued certain credited rate guarantees on externally managed variable bond funds that represent stand alone derivatives. The market value is partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in interest rates, prepayment rates, and credit ratings/spreads.

 

Embedded derivatives: The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturity instruments, and has issued certain retail annuity products, that contain embedded derivatives whose market value is at least partially determined by, among other things, levels of or changes in domestic and/or foreign interest rates (short-term or long-term), exchange rates, prepayment rates, equity rates, or credit ratings/spreads.

Credit Default Swaps

 

The Company has entered into various credit default swaps. When credit default swaps are sold, the Company assumes credit exposure to certain assets that it does not own. Credit default swaps may also be purchased to reduce credit exposure in the Company’s portfolio. Credit default swaps involve a transfer of credit risk from one party to another in exchange for periodic payments. These instruments are typically written for a maturity period of five years and do not contain recourse provisions, which would enable the seller to recover from third parties. The Company has International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) agreements with each counterparty with which it conducts business and tracks the collateral positions for each counterparty. To the extent cash collateral is received, it is included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and is reinvested in short-term investments. The source of non-cash collateral posted was investment grade bonds of the entity. Collateral held is used in accordance with the Credit Support Annex (“CSA”) to satisfy any obligations. Investment grade bonds owned by the Company are the source of noncash collateral posted, which is reported in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive an additional payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make an additional payment (sold credit protection) equal to par minus recovery value of the swap contract. At December 31, 2009, the fair value of credit default swaps of $0.2 and

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

$53.6 was included in Derivatives and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2008, the fair value of credit default swaps of $16.1 and $75.0 was included in Derivatives and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company on the sale of credit protection under credit default swaps was $84.4 and $161.0, respectively.

 

Variable Interest Entities

 

The Company holds certain VIEs for investment purposes. VIEs may be in the form of private placement securities, structured securities, securitization transactions, or limited partnerships. The Company has reviewed each of its holdings under current guidance and determined that consolidation of these investments in the Company’s financial statements is not required, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary for any of the investments in VIEs. Rather, the VIEs are accounted for using the cost or equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company may be exposed to the loss of asset management fees it receives for some of these structures. The carrying value of investments in VIEs of $0.1 at December 31, 2009 are included in Limited partnerships/corporations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Income and losses recognized on these investments are reported in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The estimated amount of VOBA amortization expense, net of interest, is $36.1, $64.0, $64.8, $59.2, and $53.0, for the years 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. Actual amortization incurred during these years may vary as assumptions are modified to incorporate actual results.

Analysis of DAC and VOBA

 

The decrease in Net amortization of DAC and VOBA for the year ended December 31, 2009, was primarily due to reduced amortization rates driven by an increase in estimated future gross profits due to the improvement in equity markets in 2009. This decline was partially offset by the impact of higher current year gross profits, primarily due to lower expenses and lower realized losses, which resulted in an increase in amortization.

 

The increase in Net amortization of DAC and VOBA for the year ended December 31, 2008, was primarily driven by unfavorable unlocking of $63.0 resulting from unfavorable equity market performance and the revisions of certain assumptions used in the estimation of gross profits.

 

5.

Dividend Restrictions and Shareholder’s Equity

ILIAC’s ability to pay dividends to its parent is subject to the prior approval of insurance regulatory authorities of the State of Connecticut for payment of any dividend, which, when combined with other dividends paid within the preceding twelve months, exceeds the greater of (1) ten percent (10.0%) of ILIAC’s statutory surplus at the prior year end or (2) ILIAC’s prior year statutory net gain from operations.

 

During 2007, ILIAC paid $145.0 in dividends on its common stock to its Parent. During 2009 and 2008, ILIAC did not pay any dividends to its Parent. On February 19, 2010, ILIAC paid a $203.0 dividend on its common stock to its Parent.

 

On November 12, 2008, ING issued to the Dutch State non-voting Tier 1 securities for a total consideration of Euro 10 billion. On February 24, 2009, $2.2 billion was contributed to direct and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”), of which $365.0 was contributed to the Company. The contribution was comprised of the proceeds from the investment by the Dutch government and the redistribution of currently existing capital within ING. During 2008 and 2007, ILIAC did not receive any cash capital contributions from its Parent.

The State of Connecticut Insurance Department (the “Department”) recognizes as net income and capital and surplus those amounts determined in conformity with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department, which differ in certain respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Statutory net income (loss) was $271.6, $(428.4), and $245.5, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1,762.1 and $1,524.6 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As specifically permitted by statutory accounting practices, statutory surplus as of December 31, 2008 included the impact of the $365.0 capital contribution received on February 24, 2009.

 

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline 43 – Variable Annuity Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“AG43”) for its statutory basis of accounting. The adoption of AG43 resulted in higher reserves than those calculated under previous standards by $97.9. Where the application of AG43 produces higher reserves than the Company had otherwise established under previous standards, the Company may request permission from the Department to grade-in the impact of higher reserve over a three year period. The Company elected this grade-in provision, as allowed under AG43 and as approved by the Department, which allows the Company to reflect the impact of adoption of $97.9 over a three year period. The impact of the grade-in for the year ended December 31, 2009 was a $32.6 increase in reserves and a corresponding decrease in statutory surplus.

 

Effective December 31, 2009, the Company adopted SSAP No. 10R, Income Taxes, for its statutory basis of accounting. This statement requires the Company to calculate admitted deferred tax assets based upon what is expected to reverse within one year with a cap on the admitted portion of the deferred tax asset of 10% of capital and surplus for its most recently filed statement. If the Company’s risk-based capital levels, after reflecting the above limitation, exceeds 250% of the authorized control level, the statement increases the limitation on admitted deferred tax assets from what is expected to reverse in one year to what is expected to reverse over the next three years and increases the cap on the admitted portion of the deferred tax asset from 10% of capital and surplus for its most recently filed statement to 15%. Other revisions in the statement include requiring the Company to reduce the gross deferred tax asset by a statutory valuation allowance adjustment if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not (a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that some portion of or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effects on the Company’s 2009 financial statements of adopting this change in accounting principle at December 31, 2009 were increases to total assets and capital and surplus of $51.1. This adoption had no impact on total liabilities or net income.

Additional Insurance Benefits and Minimum Guarantees

The Company calculates an additional liability for certain GMDBs and other minimum guarantees in order to recognize the expected value of these benefits in excess of the projected account balance over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.

 

The Company regularly evaluates estimates used to adjust the additional liability balance, with a related charge or credit to benefit expense, if actual experience or other evidence suggests that earlier assumptions should be revised.

 

As of December 31, 2009, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $6.9 billion and $3.6, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, the separate account liability for guaranteed minimum benefits and the additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees were $6.5 billion and $181.2, respectively.

 

The aggregate fair value of equity securities, including mutual funds, supporting separate accounts with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, was $6.9 billion and $6.5 billion, respectively.

 

7.

Income Taxes

ILIAC files a consolidated federal income tax return with ING AIH, an affiliate, and certain other subsidiaries of ING AIH. ILIAC is party to a federal tax allocation agreement with ING AIH and its subsidiaries that are part of the group whereby ING AIH charges its subsidiaries for federal taxes each subsidiary would have incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group and credits each subsidiary for losses at the statutory federal tax rate.

Net unrealized capital gains and losses are presented as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in Shareholder’s equity, net of deferred taxes.

 

Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered unlikely that deferred tax assets will be realized. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company had a tax valuation allowance of $158.5 and $328.0, respectively, related to realized capital losses. The change from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 2009 consists of (a) $(92.2) related to realized capital losses which is included in Net income (loss) and (b) $(77.3) related to the adoption of new US GAAP guidance on impairments, as included in ASC Topic 320, which is reflected in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. Additionally, at December 31, 2009, the Company had a valuation allowance of $39.0 which is included in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company had no valuation allowance at December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2009, the tax valuation allowance on unrealized capital losses included $77.3, which was reclassified from beginning Retained earnings to Other comprehensive loss under ASC Topic 320. The Company has also established a $5.0 tax valuation allowance against foreign tax credits, the benefit of which is uncertain.

Interest and Penalties

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in current income taxes and Income tax expense (benefit) on the Balance Sheets and the Statements of Operations, respectively. The Company had accrued interest of $3.3 and $3.8 as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease in accrued interest during the year ended December 31, 2009 primarily related to the settlement of the 2001 through 2006 New York state audit.

Tax Regulatory Matters

 

The Company is currently under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for tax years 2004 through 2009. It is anticipated that the IRS audit of tax years 2004 through 2008 will be finalized within the next twelve months. Upon finalization of the IRS examinations, it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will increase by up to $4.1. The timing of the payment of the remaining allowance of $16.9 cannot be reliably estimated. The Company and the IRS have agreed to participate in the Compliance Assurance Program (“CAP”) for tax year 2008 and 2009.

 

On September 25, 2007, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2007-61, which announced its intention to issue regulations with respect to certain computational aspects of the dividend received deduction (“DRD”) on separate account assets held in connection with variable annuity and life insurance contracts. Revenue Ruling 2007-61 suspended Revenue Ruling 2007-54 issued in August 2007 that purported to change accepted industry and IRS interpretations of the statutes governing these computational questions. Any regulations that the IRS ultimately proposes for issuance in this area will be subject to public notice and comment, at which time insurance companies and other members of the public will have the opportunity to raise legal and practical questions about the content, scope and application of such regulations. As a result, the ultimate timing, substance, and effective date of any such regulations are unknown, but they could result in the elimination of some or all of the separate account DRD tax benefit that the Company receives.

 

 

Benefit Plans

Defined Benefit Plan

 

ING North America Insurance Corporation (“ING North America”) sponsors the ING Americas Retirement Plan (the “Retirement Plan”), effective as of December 31, 2001. Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain employees) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. The Retirement Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2008. The Retirement Plan was amended on July 1, 2008, related to the admission of the employees from the acquisition of CitiStreet LLC (“CitiStreet”) by Lion, and ING North America filed a request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Retirement Plan, but has not yet received a favorable determination letter on the qualified status of the Retirement Plan. Additionally, effective January 1, 2009, the Retirement Plan was amended to provide that anyone hired or rehired by the

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

Company on or after January 1, 2009, would not be eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan.

 

The Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan, the benefits of which are guaranteed (within certain specified legal limits) by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”). As of January 1, 2002, each participant in the Retirement Plan earns a benefit under a final average compensation formula. Subsequent to December 31, 2001, ING North America is responsible for all Retirement Plan liabilities. The costs allocated to the Company for its employees’ participation in the Retirement Plan were $22.3, $14.0, and $17.2, for 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Defined Contribution Plan

 

ING North America sponsors the ING Americas Savings Plan and ESOP (the “Savings Plan”). Substantially all employees of ING North America and its affiliates (excluding certain employees, including but not limited to Career Agents) are eligible to participate, including the Company’s employees other than Company agents. Career Agents are certain, full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement with the Company and certain other individuals who meet specified eligibility criteria. The Savings Plan is a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan, which includes an employee stock ownership plan (“ESOP”) component. The Savings Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 2008 and subsequently amended on July 1, 2008, with respect to the admission of employees from the acquisition of CitiStreet by Lion. ING North America filed a request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the Plan and received a favorable determination letter dated May 19, 2009. Savings Plan benefits are not guaranteed by the PBGC. The Savings Plan allows eligible participants to defer into the Savings Plan a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. ING North America matches such pre-tax contributions, up to a maximum of 6.0% of eligible compensation. Matching contributions are subject to a 4-year graded vesting schedule (although certain specified participants are subject to a 5-year graded vesting schedule). All contributions made to the Savings Plan are subject to certain limits imposed by applicable law. Pre-tax charges to operations of the Company for the Savings Plan were $8.9, $10.3, and $10.1, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

 

Through December 31, 2001, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, offered certain eligible employees (other than Career Agents) a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and an Excess Plan (collectively, the “SERPs”). Benefit accruals under Aetna Financial Services SERPs ceased, effective as of December 31, 2001 and participants begin accruing benefits under ING North America Serp. Benefits under the SERPs are determined based on an eligible employee’s years of service and average annual compensation for the highest five years during the last ten years of employment.

 

The Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (formerly the Pension Plan for Certain Producers of Aetna Life Insurance and Annuity Company) (the “Agents Non-Qualified Plan”). This plan covers certain full-time insurance salespeople who have entered into a career agent agreement with the Company and certain other individuals who meet the eligibility criteria specified in the plan (“Career Agents”). The Agents Non-Qualified Plan was terminated effective January 1, 2002. In connection with the termination, all benefit accruals ceased and all accrued benefits were frozen.

 

The SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, are non-qualified defined benefit pension plans, which means all the SERPs benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company and Agents Non-Qualified Plan benefits are payable from the general assets of the Company and ING North America. These non-qualified defined benefit pension plans are not guaranteed by the PBGC.

Assumptions

 

The weighted-average assumptions used in the measurement of the December 31, 2009 and 2008 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:

 

 

2009

 

2008

Discount rate at end of period

6.00%

 

6.00%

Rate of compensation increase

1.50%

 

4.00%

 

In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market information provided by its plan actuaries (particularly the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve Liability Index), including a discounted cash flow analysis of the Company’s pension obligation and general movements in the current market environment. The discount rate modeling process involves selecting a portfolio of high quality, noncallable bonds that will match the cash flows of the Retirement Plan. Based upon all available information, it was determined that 6.0% was the appropriate discount rate as of December 31, 2009, to calculate the Company’s accrued benefit liability. Accordingly, as prescribed by current US GAAP guidance for employers’ accounting for pensions, the 6.0% discount rate will also be used to determine the Company’s 2010 pension expense. December 31 is the measurement date for the SERP’s and Agents Non-Qualified Plan.

 

The weighted-average assumptions used in calculating the net pension cost were as follows:

 

 

2009

 

2008

 

2007

Discount rate

6.00%

 

6.50%

 

5.90%

4.20%

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The weighted average assumptions used in calculating the net pension cost for 2009 were, as indicated above, a 6.0% discount rate and a 1.5% rate of compensation increase. Since the benefit plans of the Company are unfunded, an assumption for return on plan assets is not required.

 

Net Periodic Benefit Costs

Net periodic benefit costs for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, were as follows:

Future expected benefit payments related to the SERPs, and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, for the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2014, and thereafter through 2019, are estimated to be $10.5, $9.3, $8.9, $7.8, $6.8, and $26.5, respectively.

 

Other

 

On October 4, 2004, the President signed into law The Jobs Creation Act (“Jobs Act”). The Jobs Act affects nonqualified deferred compensation plans, such as the Agents Nonqualified Plan. ING North America has made changes to impacted nonqualified deferred compensation plans, as necessary to comply with the requirements of the Jobs Act.

 

Stock Option and Share Plans

 

ING sponsors the ING Group Long Term Equity Ownership Plan (“leo”), which provides employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Board of Directors to be granted options and/or performance shares. The terms applicable to an award under leo are set out in an award agreement, which is signed by the participant when he or she accepts the award.

Options granted under leo are nonqualified options on ING shares in the form of American Depository Receipts (“ADRs”). Leo options have a ten (10) year term and vest three years from the grant date. Options awarded under leo may vest earlier in the event of the participant’s death, permanent disability or retirement. Retirement for purposes of leo means a participant terminates service after attaining age 55 and completing 5 years of service. Early vesting in all or a portion of a grant of options may also occur in the event the participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture. Unvested options are generally subject to forfeiture when a participant voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo). Upon vesting, participants generally have up to seven years in which to exercise their vested options. A shorter exercise period applies in the event of termination due to redundancy, business divestiture, voluntary termination or termination for cause. An option gives the recipient the right to purchase an ING share in the form of ADRs at a price equal to the fair market value of one ING share on the date of grant. On exercise, participant’s have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the options being exercised, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation. The amount is converted from Euros to U.S. dollars based on the daily average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as determined by ING.

 

Awards of performance shares may also be made under leo. Performance shares are a contingent grant of ING stock, and, on vesting, the participant has the right to receive a cash amount equal to the closing price per ING share on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Market on the vesting date times the number of vested Plan shares. Performance shares generally vest three years from the date of grant, with the amount payable based on ING’s share price on the vesting date. Payments made to participants on vesting are based on the performance targets established in connection with leo and payments can range from 0% to 200% of target. Performance is based on ING’s total shareholder return relative to a peer group as determined at the end of the vesting period. To vest, a participant must be actively employed on the vesting date, although immediate vesting will occur in the event of the participant’s death, disability or retirement. If a participant is terminated due to redundancy or business divestiture, vesting will occur but in only a portion of the award. Unvested shares are generally subject to forfeiture when an employee voluntarily terminates employment or is terminated for cause (as defined in leo). Upon vesting, participants have three options (i) retain the shares and remit a check for applicable taxes due on exercise, (ii) request the administrator to remit a cash payment for the value of the shares, less applicable taxes, or (iii) retain some of the shares and have the administrator liquidate sufficient shares to satisfy the participant’s tax obligation. The amount is converted from Euros to U.S. dollars based on the daily average exchange rate between the Euro and the U.S. dollar, as determined by ING.

The Company recognized compensation expense for the leo options and performance shares of $3.7, $4.1, and $4.5, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

 

For leo, the Company recognized tax benefits of $0.1, $0.7, and $3.2, in 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively.

 

In addition, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the following benefit plans:

 

 

 

§

The ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents, which allows participants to defer a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company match equals 60% of a participant’s pre-tax deferral contribution, with a maximum of 6% of the participant’s eligible pay. A request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents was filed with the IRS on January 1, 2008, but has not yet received a favorable determination letter on the qualified status of the Plan.

 

§

The Producers’ Incentive Savings Plan, which allows participants to defer up to a specified portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. The Company matches such pre-tax contributions at specified amounts.

 

§

The Producers’ Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows participants to defer up to a specified portion of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis.

 

§

Certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and their eligible dependents. The post retirement health care plan is contributory, with retiree contribution levels adjusted annually and the Company subsidizes a portion of the monthly per-participant premium. Beginning August 1, 2009, the Company moved from self-insuring these costs and began to use a private-fee-for-service Medicare Advantage program for post-Medicare eligible retired participants. In addition, effective October 1, 2009, the Company no longer subsidizes medical premium costs for early retirees. This change does not impact any participant currently retired and receiving coverage under the plan or any employee who is eligible for coverage under the plan and whose employment ended before October 1, 2009. The Company continues to offer access to medical coverage until retirees become eligible for Medicare. The discontinued subsidy resulted in a release of a previously accrued immaterial liability for any active employees age 50 or older. The life

The ING Americas Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which is a non-qualified defined benefit restoration pension plan.

Financing Agreements

Reciprocal Loan Agreement

 

ILIAC maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING AIH, an affiliate, to facilitate the handling of unanticipated short-term cash requirements that arise in the ordinary course of business. Under this agreement, which became effective in June 2001 and expires on April 1, 2011, either party can borrow from the other up to 3% of ILIAC’s statutory net admitted assets, excluding Separate Accounts, as of the preceding December 31. Interest on any ILIAC borrowing is charged at the rate of ING AIH’s cost of funds for the interest period, plus 0.15%. Interest on any ING AIH borrowing is charged at a rate based on the prevailing interest rate of U.S. commercial paper available for purchase with a similar duration.

 

Under this agreement, ILIAC incurred an immaterial amount of interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 and $0.2, and $3.9, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and earned interest income of $1.0, $4.8, and $1.7, for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively. Interest expense and income are included in Interest expense and Net investment income, respectively, on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a $287.2 receivable from ING AIH and as of December 31, 2008, the Company had $13.0 due to ING AIH under the reciprocal loan agreement.

Note with Affiliate

On December 29, 2004, ING USA issued a surplus note in the principal amount of $175.0 (the “Note”) scheduled to mature on December 29, 2034, to ILIAC, in an offering that was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. ILIAC’s $175.0 Note from ING USA bears interest at a rate of 6.26% per year. Any payment of principal and/or interest is subject to the prior approval of the Iowa Insurance Commissioner. Interest is scheduled to be paid semi-annually in arrears on June 29 and December 29 of each year, commencing on June 29, 2005. Interest income for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007 was $10.0, $11.1 and $11.1, respectively.

 

Tax Sharing Agreements

Effective January 1, 2006, ILIAC is a party to a federal tax allocation agreement with ING AIH and its subsidiaries that are part of the ING AIH consolidated group. Under the federal tax allocation agreement, ING AIH charges its subsidiaries for federal taxes each subsidiary would have incurred were it not a member of the consolidated group and credits each subsidiary for losses at the statutory federal tax rate.

 

ILIAC has also entered into a state tax sharing agreement with ING AIH and each of the specific subsidiaries that are parties to the agreement. The state tax agreement applies to situations in which ING AIH and all or some of the subsidiaries join in the filing of a state or local franchise, income tax, or other tax return on a consolidated, combined, or unitary basis.

 

Property and Equipment Sale

 

During the second quarter of 2009, ING’s U.S. life insurance companies, including the Company, sold a portion of its property and equipment in a sale/leaseback transaction to an affiliate, ING North America. The fixed assets involved in the sale were capitalized assets generally depreciated over the expected useful lives and software in development. Since the assets were being depreciated using expected useful lives, the current net book value reasonably approximated the current fair value of the assets being transferred. The fixed assets sold to ING North America by the Company totaled $17.4.

Financing Agreements

Revolving Note Facility

 

ILIAC maintains a $50.0 uncommitted, perpetual revolving note facility with the Bank of New York ("BONY"). Interest on any of ILIAC’s borrowing accrues at an annual rate equal to a rate quoted by BONY to ILIAC for the borrowing. Under this agreement, ILIAC incurred no interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, and minimal interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2007. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, ILIAC had no amounts outstanding under the revolving note facility.

 

Windsor Property Loan

 

As of June 1, 2007, the State of Connecticut, acting by the Department of Economic and Community Development (“DECD”), loaned ILIAC $9.9 (the “DECD Loan”) in connection with the development of the Windsor Property. The loan has a term of twenty years and bears an annual interest rate of 1.00%. As long as no defaults have occurred under the loan, no payments of principal or interest are due for the initial ten years of the loan. For the second ten years of the DECD Loan term, ILIAC is obligated to make monthly payments of principal and interest.

 

The DECD Loan provides for loan forgiveness at varying amounts up to $5.0 if ILIAC and its affiliates meet certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property during the term of the loan. ILIAC’s obligations under the DECD Loan are secured by an unlimited recourse guaranty from its affiliate, ING North America.

 

On December 1, 2008, the DECD determined that the Company met the employment thresholds for loan forgiveness and, accordingly, forgave $5.0 of the DECD Loan to the Company in accordance with the terms of the DECD Loan.

 

At both December 31, 2009 and 2008, the amount of the loan outstanding was $4.9, which was reflected in Notes payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Reinsurance

At December 31, 2009, the Company had reinsurance treaties with 6 unaffiliated reinsurers covering a significant portion of the mortality risks and guaranteed death benefits under its variable contracts. At December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any outstanding cessions under any reinsurance treaties with affiliated reinsurers. The Company remains liable to the extent its reinsurers do not meet their obligations under the reinsurance agreements.

 

On October 1, 1998, the Company disposed of its individual life insurance business under an indemnity reinsurance arrangement with a subsidiary of Lincoln for $1.0 billion in cash. Under the agreement, Lincoln contractually assumed from the Company certain policyholder liabilities and obligations, although the Company remains obligated to contractowners. The Lincoln subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction.

 

The Company assumed $25.0 of premium revenue from Aetna Life, for the purchase and administration of a life contingent single premium variable payout annuity contract. In addition, the Company is also responsible for administering fixed annuity payments that are made to annuitants receiving variable payments. Reserves of $11.6 and $11.0 were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

 

Reinsurance ceded in force for life mortality risks were $18.6 billion and $19.6 billion at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, net receivables were comprised of the following:

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Leases

 

Prior to December 31, 2008, the Company leased certain office space and certain equipment under various operating leases and paid substantially all expenses associated with its leased and subleased office properties. Any expenses not paid directly by the Company were paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company. However, as of December 31, 2008, all of the Company’s expenses for leased and subleased office properties will be paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company, as all operating leases were terminated or consolidated by ING AIH during the fourth quarter of 2008, which resulted in the Company no longer being party to any operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, rent expense for leases was $5.1, $6.1, and $17.7, respectively.

 

For more information on the lease terminations, see the Restructuring Charges footnote.

 

Commitments

 

Through the normal course of investment operations, the Company commits to either purchase or sell securities, commercial mortgage loans, or money market instruments, at a specified future date and at a specified price or yield. The inability of counterparties to honor these commitments may result in either a higher or lower replacement cost. Also, there is likely to be a change in the value of the securities underlying the commitments.

At December 31, 2009, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $305.1, of which $218.5 was with related parties. At December 31, 2008, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $353.3, of which $253.7 was with related parties. During 2009 and 2008, $46.8 and $81.3, respectively, was funded to related parties under off-balance sheet commitments.

 

Collateral

 

Under the terms of the Company’s Over-The-Counter Derivative ISDA Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”), the Company may receive from, or deliver to, counterparties, collateral to assure that all terms of the ISDA Agreements will be met with regard to the CSA. The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate. As of December 31, 2009, the Company did not hold any cash collateral and as of December 31, 2008, the Company held $4.4, of cash collateral, which was included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company delivered collateral of $130.3 and $93.4, respectively, in fixed maturities pledged under derivatives contracts, which was included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Litigation

 

The Company is involved in threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitrations arising from the normal conduct of business. Due to the climate in insurance and business litigation/arbitrations, suits against the Company sometimes include claims for substantial compensatory, consequential, or punitive damages, and other types of relief. Moreover, certain claims are asserted as class actions, purporting to represent a group of similarly situated individuals. While it is not possible to forecast the outcome of such lawsuits/arbitrations, in light of existing insurance, reinsurance, and established reserves, it is the opinion of management that the disposition of such lawsuits/arbitrations will not have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial position.

Other Regulatory Matters

 

Regulatory Matters

 

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates have received informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the financial services industry. In each case, the Company and its affiliates have been and are providing full cooperation.

 

Insurance and Retirement Plan Products and Other Regulatory Matters

 

Federal and state regulators, and self-regulatory agencies, are conducting broad inquiries and investigations involving the insurance and retirement industries. These initiatives currently focus on, among other things, compensation, revenue sharing, and other sales incentives; potential conflicts of interest; sales and marketing practices (including sales to seniors); specific product types (including group annuities and indexed annuities); product administrative issues; and disclosure. The Company and certain of its U.S. affiliates have received formal and informal requests in connection with such investigations, and have cooperated and are cooperating fully with each request for information. Some of these matters could result in regulatory action involving the Company. These initiatives also may result in new legislation and regulation that could significantly affect the financial services industry, including businesses in which the Company is engaged. In light of these and other developments, U.S. affiliates of ING, including the Company, periodically review whether modifications to their business practices are appropriate.

 

Investment Product Regulatory Issues

 

Since 2002, there has been increased governmental and regulatory activity relating to mutual funds and variable insurance products. This activity has primarily focused on inappropriate trading of fund shares; directed brokerage; compensation; sales practices, suitability, and supervision; arrangements with service providers; pricing; compliance and controls; adequacy of disclosure; and document retention.

(A wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

In addition to responding to governmental and regulatory requests on fund trading issues, ING management, on its own initiative, conducted, through special counsel and a national accounting firm, an extensive internal review of mutual fund trading in ING insurance, retirement, and mutual fund products. The goal of this review was to identify any instances of inappropriate trading in those products by third parties or by ING investment professionals and other ING personnel.

 

The internal review identified several isolated arrangements allowing third parties to engage in frequent trading of mutual funds within the variable insurance and mutual fund products of certain affiliates of the Company, and identified other circumstances where frequent trading occurred despite measures taken by ING intended to combat market timing. Each of the arrangements has been terminated and disclosed to regulators, to the independent trustees of ING Funds (U.S.) and in Company reports previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

Action has been or may be taken with respect to certain ING affiliates before investigations relating to fund trading are completed. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject certain affiliates to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, penalties, and other financial liability. It is not currently anticipated, however, that the actual outcome of any such action will have a material adverse effect on ING or ING’s U.S.-based operations, including the Company.

Restructuring Charges

2008 CitiStreet Integration

 

During the third quarter of 2008, integration initiatives began related to the acquisition of CitiStreet LLC, now known as ING Institutional Plan Services, LLC, by Lion, which provided significant operational and information technology efficiencies to ING’s U.S. retirement services businesses, including the Company, resulted in the recognition of integration and restructuring costs in 2008 and 2009. In addition, the Company implemented an expense reduction program for the purpose of streamlining its overall operations. The restructuring charges related to these expense reduction and integration initiatives include severance and other employee benefits and lease abandonment costs, which are included in Operating Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Due to the staff reductions, curtailment of pension benefits occurred during the first quarter of 2009, which resulted in the recognition of an immaterial loss related to unrecognized prior service costs.

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new US GAAP guidance on impairments, included in ASC Topic 320. As prescribed by this accounting guidance, noncredit impairments, reflecting the portion of the impairment between the present value of future cash flows and fair value, were recognized in Other comprehensive loss. As of December 31, 2009, net unrealized capital gains (losses) on available-for-sale fixed maturities included $46.7 of noncredit impairments. In addition, a cumulative transfer of noncredit impairments of $(151.7), after considering the effects of DAC of $134.0 and income taxes of $(46.9), was made from beginning retained earnings to Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of April 1, 2009.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amount in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

 

During 2009 and 2008, as a result of market conditions that resulted in large unrealized losses, the Company reflected net unrealized capital losses allocated to experience-rated contracts in Shareholder’s equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets rather than Future policy benefits and claims reserves and no net unrealized losses were allocated to experience-rated contracts.

 

Changes in unrealized capital gains (losses) on securities, including securities pledged and noncredit impairments, and excluding those related to experience-rated contracts as recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), reported net of DAC, VOBA, and income tax, were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008, and 2007.

  Incorporated herein by reference to Item 28 in Post-Effective Amendment No. 28 to Registration
  Statement on Form N-6 for Select*Life Variable Account of ReliaStar Life Insurance Company (File
  No. 033-57244), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 6, 2010.
 
 
Item 27. Number of Contract Owners
  As of February 28, 2010, there were 53,116 individuals holding interests in variable annuity contracts
funded through Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.
 
Item 28. Indemnification
  Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes (“CGS”) provides that a corporation may provide
  indemnification of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as permitted by
  Sections 33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the CGS. Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of the
  CGS regarding indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding indemnification of
  officers, employees and agents of Connecticut corporations. These statutes provide in general that
  Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the extent that their
  certificate of incorporation expressly provides otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees
  and agents against “liability” (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine,
  including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses
  incurred with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that
  the party seeking indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a
  court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33-
  775, the determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by two or more
  disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-770(3); (b) by special legal counsel; (c) by the
  shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation,
  by the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors may specify.
  Also Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a corporation shall indemnify an individual who
  was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in
  connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director, officer, employee,
  or agent of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right
  of the corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was
  adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled,
  indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the
  corporation to which the individual was named a party.
 
  A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a
  director of the corporation. Consistent with the laws of the State of Connecticut, ING America
  Insurance Holdings, Inc. maintains Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policies issued by
  an international insurer. The policies cover ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and any company in
  which ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. has a controlling financial interest of 50% or more. These
  policies include the principal underwriter, as well as, the depositor and any/all assets under the care,
  custody and control of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. and/or its subsidiaries. The policies
  provide for the following types of coverage: errors and omissions/professional liability, employment
  practices liability and fiduciary/crime.
 
  Section 20 of the ING Financial Advisers, LLC Limited Liability Company Agreement executed as of
  November 28, 2000, provides that ING Financial Advisers, LLC will indemnify certain persons against



  any loss, damage, claim or expenses (including legal fees) incurred by such person if he is made a party

Item 31. Management Services
Not Applicable

Item 32. Undertakings
Registrant hereby undertakes:

(i)      to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on Form N-4 as frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements in the registration statement are never more than sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable annuity contracts may be accepted;


(ii)      to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by a prospectus which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement of Additional Information or a post card or similar written communication affixed to or included in the Prospectus that the applicant can remove to send for a Statement of Additional Information; and
(iii)      to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly upon written or oral request.

The Company hereby represents that it is relying upon and complies with the provisions of Paragraphs (1) through
(4) of the SEC Staff's No-Action Letter dated November 28, 1988 with respect to language concerning withdrawal
restrictions applicable to plans established pursuant to Section 403(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. See American
Counsel of Life Insurance; SEC No-Action Letter, [1988 WL 1235221 *13 (S.E.C.)]

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against
public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company represents that the fees and charges deducted under the contracts covered
by this registration statement, in the aggregate, are reasonable in relation to the services rendered, expenses expected
to be incurred, and the risks assumed by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company.

The Depositor and Registrant rely on SEC regulation.
