Important Information regarding the ING Janus Contrarian Portfolio

Effective July 1, 2011, the ING Janus Contrarian Portfolio changed its name to ING Core Growth and Income Portfolio. Accordingly, all references to ING Janus Contrarian Portfolio appearing in the Contract Prospectus and Contract Prospectus Summary are deleted and replaced with ING Core Growth and Income Portfolio.

In addition, the ING Janus Contrarian Portfolio’s investment objective appearing in Appendix IV – Fund Descriptions in the Contract Prospectus and Appendix V – Fund Descriptions in the Contract Prospectus Summary is deleted and replaced with the following:

• Prior to September 15, 2011, the Portfolio seeks capital appreciation.

• Effective September 15, 2011, the Portfolio seeks to maximize total return through investments in a diversified portfolio of common stock and securities convertible into common stocks. It is anticipated that capital appreciation and investment income will both be major factors in achieving total return.

Beginning July 1, 2011 through July 20, 2011, a transition manager will begin transitioning the Portfolio’s securities to align the Portfolio with its new investment objective and strategies. Effective on or about July 21, 2011, ING Investment Management Co. will become the subadviser for the Portfolio. Appendix IV – Fund Descriptions in the Contract Prospectus and Appendix V – Fund Descriptions in the Contract Prospectus Summary are revised accordingly.
