    Notice of Upcoming Fund Reorganizations

    1.     

    The Board of Trustees of ING Investors Trust and the Board of Directors of ING Partners, Inc. have approved a proposal to reorganize certain funds. Subject to shareholder approval, effective after the close of business on or about January 21, 2011, (the “Reorganization Date”) the following Disappearing Portfolios will reorganize into and become part of the following Surviving Portfolios:

    Disappearing Portfolios Surviving Portfolios
    ING Legg Mason ClearBridge Aggressive
    Growth Portfolio (I Class)
    ING Large Cap Growth Portfolio (Class I)
    ING Lord Abbett Growth and Income Portfolio
    (Class I)
    ING Large Cap Value Portfolio (formerly ING
    Pioneer Equity Income Portfolio) (Class I)

     

    Important Information about the Upcoming Fund Reorganizations

    • Prior to the Reorganization Date, you may transfer amounts allocated to a subaccount that invests in a Disappearing Portfolio to any other available subaccount or any available fixed interest option. See also the Transfers section of your Contract Prospectus or the Investment Options section of your Contract Prospectus Summary for further information about making transfers, including limits on transfers.

    • On the Reorganization Date, your investment in a subaccount that invests in a Disappearing Portfolio will automatically become an investment in the subaccount that invests in the corresponding Surviving Portfolio with an equal total net asset value.

    • You will not incur any fees or charges or any tax liability because of the reorganizations.

    • Unless you provide us with alternative allocation instructions, all future allocations directed to the subaccounts that invest in the Disappearing Portfolios after the Reorganization Date will be automatically allocated to the subaccounts that invest in the corresponding Surviving Portfolios. You may give us alternative allocation instructions at any time by contacting our Customer Service Center at:

    Defined Contribution Administration

    • After the Reorganization Date, each Disappearing Portfolio will no longer exist and all references to them in the Contract Prospectus and Contract Prospectus Summary will be replaced by the corresponding Surviving Portfolio.

    Item 27. Number of Contract Owners

    As of October 31, 2010, there were 49,279 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 fidelity/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 or is threatened to be made a party to a suit or proceeding because he was a member, officer, director, employee or agent of ING Financial Advisers, LLC, as long as he acted in good faith on behalf of ING Financial Advisers, LLC and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of his authority. An additional condition requires that no person shall be entitled to indemnity if his loss, damage, claim or expense was incurred by reason of his gross negligence or willful misconduct. This


     

    indemnity provision is authorized by and is consistent with Title 8, Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

    Item 30. Location of Accounts and Records

    All accounts, books and other documents required to be maintained by Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act and the rules under it relating to the securities described in and issued under this Registration Statement are maintained by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774 and at ING Americas at 5780 Powers Ferry Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30327-4390.

    Item 31. Management Services
    Not applicable.

    Item 32. Undertakings
    Registrant hereby undertakes:

    (a)     

    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;

    (b)     

    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; and

    (c)     

    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.

    (d)     

    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.

    (e)     

    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, the expenses expected to be incurred, and the risks assumed by the insurance company.
