1  This is a deferred sales charge. The percentage will be determined by the applicable early withdrawal charge 
  schedule in the “FEES” section. In certain cases, this charge may not apply to a portion or all of your withdrawal. 
  The early withdrawal charge reduces over time. These fees may be waived, reduced or eliminated in certain 
  circumstances. See the “FEES” section.   
2  The annual maintenance fee is generally deducted only from installment purchase payment contracts. Under 
  certain contracts, the annual maintenance fee may also be deducted upon full withdrawals. See “FEES - Annual 
  Maintenance Fee.”     
3  We currently do not impose this charge, however; if allowed by your contract, we reserve the right to charge up to 
  0.25% annually. See “FEES - Administrative Expense Charge.”

Fund Fees and Expenses             
 
The next item shows the minimum and maximum total operating expenses charged by the funds 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 funds’ most recent fiscal year ends without taking into account any fee 
waiver or expense reimbursement arrangements that may apply. More detail concerning each fund’s fees and 
expenses is contained in the prospectus for each fund.         
 
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses    Minimum  Maximum 
(expenses that are deducted from fund assets, including management fees       
and other expenses)        0.34%    1.07% 
 
See the “FEES” – Fund Fees and Expenses” section of this prospectus for additional information about the Fees and 
expenses of the Funds, including information about the revenue we may receive from each of the Funds or the Funds’ 
affiliates.              
 
Examples               
 
The following Examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the contract with the cost of 
investing in other variable annuity contracts. These costs include contract holder transaction expenses, 
contract fees including the annual maintenance fee of $20 (converted to a percentage of assets equal to 
(0.066%), separate account annual expenses, and fund fees and expenses.       
 
Maximum Fund Fees and Expenses Examples: The following 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 assume the maximum fees and expenses of any of the funds. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, 
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:         
 
(A) If you withdraw your entire account value at the  (B) If you do not withdraw your entire account 
end of the applicable time period*:    value or if you select an income phase payment 
          option at the end of the applicable time period**:

  $727  $1,301  $1,903  $2,967  $266  $819  $1,397  $2,967 
 
Minimum Fund Fees and Expenses Examples:: The following 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 assume the minimum fees and expenses of any of the funds. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, 
based on these assumptions, your costs would be:          
 
               
(A) If you withdraw your entire account value at the  (B) If you do not withdraw your entire account 
end of the applicable time period*:    value or if you select an income phase payment 
          option at the end of the applicable time period**:

  $657  $1,091  $1,552  $2,226  $193  $598  $1,028  $2,226 
 
*  This example reflects deduction of an early withdrawal charge calculated using the schedule applicable to 
  Installment Purchase Payment Contracts. The Installment Purchase Payment Contracts schedule is listed in 
  “Fees.” Under that schedule, if only one $10,000 payment was made as described above, fewer than 5 
  purchase payment periods would have been completed at the end of years 1, 3 and 5, and the 5% charge would 
  apply. At the end of the tenth year the early withdrawal charge is waived regardless of the number of purchase 
  payment periods completed, and no early withdrawal charge would apply.     
**  This example does not apply during the income phase if you elect to receive income phase payments under a 
  nonlifetime variable payment option and subsequently request a lump-sum withdrawal after the income phase 
  payments start. In this circumstance, the lump-sum payment is treated as a withdrawal during the 
  accumulation phase and may be subject to an early withdrawal charge as shown in Example A.

CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION 
 
Understanding Condensed Financial Information. In Appendix III of this prospectus, we provide condensed 
financial information about Variable Annuity Account B subaccounts you may invest in through the contract. The 
tables show value of the subaccounts over the past 10 years. For subaccounts that were not available 10 years ago, 
we show the year-end unit values of each subaccount from the time purchase payments were first received in the 
subaccounts under the contract.   
 
Financial Statements. The statements of assets and liabilities, the statements of operations, the statements of 
changes in net assets and the related notes to financial statements for Variable Annuity Account B and the 
consolidated financial statements and the related notes to financial statements for ING Life Insurance and Annuity 
Company are located in the Statement of Additional Information. 
 
THE COMPANY   
 
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our”) issues the contracts 
described in this prospectus and is responsible for providing each contract’s insurance and annuity benefits. All 
guarantees and benefits provided under the contracts that are not related to the separate account are subject to the 
claims paying ability of the company and our general account. We are a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lion 
Connecticut Holding Inc.    
 
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. (“ING”), 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.   
 
As part of a restructuring plan approved by the European Commission, ING has agreed to separate its banking 
and insurance business by 2013. ING intends to achieve this separation 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. On November 10, 
2010, ING announced that ING and its U.S. insurance affiliates, including the Company, are preparing for a base case 
of an initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company and its U.S.-based insurance and investment management 
affiliates.    
 
We are engaged in the business of issuing life insurance and annuities. Our principal executive offices are located at: 
 
One Orange Way   
Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774 
 
Regulatory Matters. As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates periodically 
receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self- 
regulatory organizations in connection with examinations, inquiries investigations and audits of the products and 
practices of the Company or financial services industry. These currently include an inquiry regarding the Company’s 
policy for correcting errors made in processing trades for ERISA plans or plan participants. Some of these 
investigations, examinations, audits and inquires could result in regulatory action against the Company. The potential 
outcome of the investigations, examinations, audits, inquires and any such regulatory action is difficult to predict but 
could subject the Company to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, additional payments to plans or 
participants, disgorgement, settlement payments, penalties, fines, and other financial liability and changes to the 
Company’s policies and procedures, the financial impact of which cannot be estimated at this time, but management 
does not believe will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. It is 
the practice of the company and its affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  8 

 



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, including state insurance regulators, state securities administrators, the SEC, the Financial 
Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).For 
example, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating to product design, administration, and 
investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such products under the Tax Code. See “TAX 
CONSIDERATIONS” for further discussion of some of these requirements. Failure to administer certain 
product features 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 imposed by a particular governmental or self regulatory authority and 
unanticipated claims and costs associated with remedying such failure. Additionally, such failure could harm the 
Company’s reputation, interrupt the Company’s operations or adversely impact profitability. 
 
CONTRACT PURCHASE   
 
How to Purchase. Complete the application and deliver it along with your initial purchase payment to us. Upon our 
approval, we will issue you a contract and set up an account for you. 
 
Two types of contracts are available:   
  Installment Purchase Payment contracts. Under these contracts, you make continuing periodic payments. 
  Single Purchase Payment contracts. Under these contracts you make a single payment to the contract or a lump- 
  sum transfer of amounts accumulated under a pre-existing annuity or retirement arrangement. 
 
Payment Amounts. The minimum payment amount for each type of contract is as follows: 
  The minimum payment for a single purchase payment contract is $5,000; and 
  Installment purchase payments must be at least $100 per month ($1,200 annually) and may not be less than $25 
  per payment.   
 
Acceptance or Rejection of Your Application. We must accept or reject your application within two business days 
of receipt. If the application is incomplete, we may hold any forms and accompanying purchase payment(s) for five 
business days. We may hold purchase payments for longer periods, pending acceptance of the application, only with 
your permission. If the application is rejected, the application and any purchase payments will be returned to you. 
 
Allocating Purchase Payments to the Investment Options. We will allocate your purchase payments among the 
investment options you select. Allocations must be in whole percentages and there may be a limit on the number of 
investment options you may select. When selecting investment options, you may find it helpful to review the 
“Investment Options” section.   
 
Factors to Consider in the Purchase Decision. The decision to purchase the contract should be discussed with your 
financial representative. Make sure that you understand the investment options it provides, its other features, the risks 
and potential benefits you will face, and the fees and expenses you will incur when, together with your financial 
representative, you consider an investment in the contract. You should pay attention to the following issues, among 
others:   
  Long-Term Investment - This contract is a long-term investment, and is typically most useful as part of a 
  personal retirement plan. Early withdrawals may expose you to early withdrawal charges or tax penalties. The 
  value of deferred taxation on earnings grows with the amount of time funds are left in the contract. You should 
  not participate in this contract if you are looking for a short-term investment or expect to need to make 
  withdrawals before you are 59½;   
  Investment Risk - The value of investment options available under this contract may fluctuate with the markets 
  and interest rates. You should not participate in this contract in order to invest in these options if you cannot risk 
  getting back less money than you put in;   
  Features and Fees - The fees for this contract reflect costs associated with the features and benefits it provides. 
  As you consider this contract, you should determine the value that these various benefits and features have for 
  you, given your particular circumstances, and consider the charges for those features; and 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  9 

 



Exchanges - Replacing an existing insurance contract with this contract may not be beneficial to you. If this 
contract will be a replacement for another annuity contract, you should compare the two options carefully, 
compare the costs associated with each, and identify additional benefits available under this contract. You should 
consider whether these additional benefits justify incurring a new schedule of early withdrawal charges or any 
increased charges that might apply under this contract. Also, be sure to talk to your financial professional or tax 
adviser to make sure that the exchange will be handled so that it is tax-free. 
 
When considering whether to purchase or participate in the contract, you should consult with your financial 
representative about your financial goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance. 
 
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 other options available, and, if you are 
interested in learning more about these other products, contact your registered representative. 
 
RIGHT TO CANCEL   
 
When and How to Cancel. You may cancel the contract within ten days of receipt (some states require more than ten 
days) by returning it to the address listed in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW-Questions: Contacting the Company” 
along with a written notice of cancellation.   
 
Refunds. We will issue you a refund within seven calendar days of our receipt of your contract and written notice 
of cancellation. Unless your state requires otherwise, your refund will equal the purchase payments made plus any 
earnings and minus any losses attributable to those amounts allocated to the subaccounts. Any mortality and expense 
risk charges and administrative expense charges deducted during the period you held the contract will not be returned. 
We will not deduct an early withdrawal charge. In other words, you will bear the entire investment risk for amounts 
allocated among the subaccounts during this period and the amount refunded could be less than the amount paid. If 
your state requires, we will refund all purchase payments made.  
 
If the purchase payments for your cancelled contract came from a transfer or rollover from another contract issued by 
us or one of our affiliates where an early withdrawal charge was reduced or eliminated, the purchase payments will be 
restored to your prior contract.   
 
INVESTMENT OPTIONS   
 
The contract offers variable investment options and a fixed interest option. 
 
VARIABLE INTEREST OPTIONS   
 
These options are subaccounts of Variable Annuity Account B. Each subaccount invests directly in shares of a 
corresponding mutual fund, and earnings on amounts invested in the subaccounts will vary depending on the 
performance and fees of its underlying fund You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds.  
 
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 (the 
“1940 Act”). It also meets the definition of “separate account” under the federal securities laws.  
 
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 contracts are obligations of the Company. All guarantees and benefits provided under the contracts 
that are not related to the separate account are subject to the claims paying ability of the Company and our general 
account.

Funds Available Through the Separate Account 
 
The separate account is divided into “subaccounts.” Each subaccount invests directly in shares of a corresponding fund. 
The funds available through the subaccounts of the separate account are listed in the front of this prospectus. We also 
provide a brief description of each fund in Appendix II. Please refer to the fund prospectuses for additional 
information. Fund prospectuses may be obtained, free of charge, from 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 Branch.    
 
Risks of Investing in the Funds.   
 
Insurance-Dedicated Funds (Mixed and Shared Funding). The funds described in this prospectus are available only 
to insurance companies for their variable contracts (or directly to certain retirement plans, as allowed by the Tax 
Code). Such funds are often referred to as “insurance-dedicated funds,” and are used for “mixed” and “shared” 
funding.   
 
“Mixed funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccount buys for variable annuity contracts, are bought 
for variable life insurance contracts issued by us or other insurance companies. 
 
“Shared funding” occurs when shares of a fund, which the subaccount buys for variable annuity contracts, are also 
bought by other insurance companies for their variable annuity contracts. In other words: 
  Mixed funding - bought for annuities and life insurance 
  Shared funding - bought by more than one company  
 
Possible Conflicts of Interest. With respect to the insurance-dedicated funds, it is possible that a conflict of 
interest may arise due to mixed and shared funding, a change in law affecting the operations of variable annuity 
separate accounts, differences in the voting instructions of the contract holder and others maintaining a voting interest 
in the funds, or some other reason. Such a conflict 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 in order to identify any material irreconcilable conflicts that may arise and to determine 
what action, if any, should be taken to address such conflicts. In the event of a conflict, the Company will take any 
steps necessary to protect contract holders and annuitants maintaining a voting interest in the funds, including the 
withdrawal of Variable Annuity Account B from participation in the funds that are involved in the conflict.  
 
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 we receive no instructions in the same 
proportion as those for which we receive instructions. You will receive periodic reports relating to the funds in which 
you have 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:   
·  During the accumulation phase the number of votes is equal to the portion of your account value invested in the 
  fund, divided by the net asset value of one share of that fund; and 
·  During the income phase 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. 
 
We may restrict or eliminate any voting rights of persons who have voting rights as to the separate account.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  11 

 



Right to Change the Separate Account 
 
Subject to state and federal law and the rules and regulations thereunder, we may, from time to time, make any of the 
following changes to the separate account with respect to some or all classes of contracts: 
  Offer additional subaccounts that will invest in funds we find appropriate for contracts we issue; 
  Combine two or more subaccounts;   
  Close subaccounts. We will provide advance notice by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a subaccount. If 
  a subaccount is closed or otherwise is unavailable for new investment, unless we receive alternative allocation 
  instructions, all future amounts directed to the subaccount that was closed or is unavailable may be automatically 
  allocated among the other available subaccounts according to the most recent allocation instructions we have on 
  file. If the most recent allocation instructions we have on file do not include any available subaccounts, we must 
  be provided with alternative allocation instructions. Alternative allocation instructions can be given by contacting 
  us at the address and telephone number listed in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW - Questions: Contacting the 
  Company.” See also TRANSFERS” for information about making subaccount allocation changes; 
  Substitute a new fund for a fund in which a subaccount currently invests. In the case of a substitution, the new 
  fund may have different fees and charges than the fund it replaced. A substitution may become necessary if, in 
  our judgment:   
  >  A fund no longer suits the purposes of your contract; 
  >  There is a change in laws or regulations;   
  >  There is a change in the fund’s investment objectives or restrictions; 
  >  The fund is no longer available for investment; or 
  >  Another reason we deem a substitution is appropriate. 
  Stop selling the contract;   
  Limit or eliminate any voting rights for the Separate Account; or 
  Make any changes required by the 1940 Act or its rules or regulations. 
 
We will not make a change until the change is disclosed in an effective prospectus or prospectus supplement, 
authorized, if necessary, by an order from the SEC and approved, if necessary, by the appropriate state insurance 
department(s).    
 
Fixed Interest Options   
 
For descriptions of the fixed interest option available through the contract, see Appendices I.  
 
Selecting Investment Options   
 
When selecting investment options:   
  Choose options appropriate for you. Your local representative can help you evaluate which subaccounts or 
  fixed interest 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 a value that rises and falls more 
  rapidly and to a greater degree than other funds. For example, funds investing in foreign or international 
  securities are subject to additional risks not associated with domestic investments, and their performance may 
  vary accordingly. Also, funds using derivatives in their investment strategy may be subject to additional risks; 
  and     
  Be informed. Read this prospectus, the fund prospectuses and the fixed interest option appendix. 
 
Furthermore, be aware that there may be:   
  Limits on Option Availability. Some subaccounts and the fixed interest option may not be available through 
  certain contracts. and plans or in some states; and Limits on Number of Options Selected. Generally, you may 
  select no more than 25 investment options at initial purchase. Each subaccount and the Fixed Account counts 
  toward this limit. Thereafter, more than 25 investment options can be selected at any one time.

dollar amount, the amount withdrawn from your account will be the amount      Fee 
you specified plus adjustment for any applicable early withdrawal charge.    >  Mortality and 
        Expense Risk Charge 
Amount. The charge is a percentage of the amount that you withdraw. The    >  Administrative 
percentage will be determined by the early withdrawal charge schedule that      Expense Charge 
applies to your contract. The schedules are listed below and appear on your    Fund Fees and Expenses 
contract schedule page. The charge will never be more than 8.5% of your    Premium and Other Taxes 
total payments to the contract.

Purpose. This is a deferred sales charge. It reimburses us for some of the       
sales and administrative expenses associated with the contract. If our    Contract Year (for single 
expenses are greater than the amount we collect for the early withdrawal    purchase payment 
charge, we may use any of our corporate assets, including potential profit    contracts) - A 12 month

      account, or measured from 
      any anniversary of that 
      date. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  13       

 



Waiver. The early withdrawal charge is waived if the withdrawal is: 
  Used to provide income phase payments to you;   
  Paid because of your death;   
  Taken under a systematic distribution option (see “SYSTEMATIC DISTRIBUTION OPTIONS”); 
  Taken on or after the tenth anniversary of the effective date of an installment purchase payment contract; 
  Paid when your account value is $2,500 or less and no withdrawal has been taken from the account within the 
  prior 12 months;   
  Taken in part or in full from an installment purchase payment contract provided you are at least 59½ and nine 
  purchase payment periods have been completed; or 
  Taken in an amount of ten percent or less of your account value. This applies only to the first partial withdrawal 
  in each calendar year and does not apply to full withdrawals or withdrawals under a systematic distribution 
  option. The ten percent amount will be calculated using your account value as of the next valuation after your 
  withdrawal request is received in good order at the address listed in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW-Questions: 
  Contacting the Company.” This waiver does not apply to contracts issued in the state of Washington. 
 
Redemption Fees   
 
Certain funds may deduct redemption fees as a result of withdrawals, transfers, or other fund transactions you initiate. 
If applicable, we may deduct the amount of any redemption fees imposed by the underlying mutual funds as a result 
of withdrawals, transfers or other fund transactions you initiate. Redemption fees, if any, are separate and distinct 
from any transaction charges or other charges deducted from your account value. For a more complete description of 
the funds’ fees and expenses, review each fund’s prospectus. 
 
Periodic Fees and Charges   
 
Annual Maintenance Fee   
 
Maximum Amount. $20.00 for installment purchase payment contracts. There is no maintenance fee for single 
purchase payment contracts.   
 
When/How. Each year during the accumulation phase, we deduct this fee from your account value on your account 
anniversary. It is also deducted at the time of a full withdrawal, to the extent permitted under state law. It is deducted 
proportionately from each subaccount and fixed interest option in which you have interest. 
 
Purpose. This fee reimburses us for administrative expenses related to the establishment and maintenance of your 
account.   
 
Mortality and Expense Risk Charge   
 
Maximum Amount. 1.25% annually of your account value invested in the subaccounts. See “INCOME PHASE - 
Charges Deducted.”   
 
When/How. We deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. We do not 
deduct this charge from any fixed interest option. This charge is deducted during the accumulation phase and the 
income phase.   
 
Purpose. This charge compensates us for the mortality and expense risks we assume under the contracts. Namely: 
  Mortality risks are those risks associated with our promises to pay the death benefit available under the contract 
  and to make lifetime income phase payments based on annuity rates specified in the contract; and 
  Expense risk is the risk that the actual expenses we incur under the contracts 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 contracts, 
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.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  14 

 



Administrative Expense Charge   
 
Maximum Amount. 0.25%. We currently do not impose this charge. We reserve the right, however, on 30 days’ 
notice, if allowed by your contract, to charge up to 0.25% annually of your daily net assets invested in the 
subaccounts.   
 
When/How. If imposed, we will deduct this charge daily from the subaccounts corresponding to the funds you 
select. We do not deduct this charge from the fixed interest option. This charge may be assessed during the 
accumulation phase and/or the income phase. If we are imposing this charge when you enter the income phase, the 
charge will apply to you during the entire income phase. 
 
Purpose. This charge helps defray our administrative expenses that cannot be recovered by the mortality and 
expense risk charge described above. The charge is not intended to exceed the average expected cost of 
administering the contracts. We do not expect to make a profit from this charge. 
 
Fund Fees and Expenses   
 
As shown in the fund prospectuses and described in the “FEE TABLE - Fund Fees and Expenses” section of 
this prospectus, each fund deducts management/investment advisory 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 holder services provided on 
behalf of the fund. Furthermore, certain funds 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. Fund fees and expenses are deducted from the 
value of the fund shares on a daily basis, which in turn affects the value of each subaccount that purchases fund 
shares. Fund fees and expenses are one factor that impacts the value of a fund’s shares. To learn more about fund 
fee and expenses, the additional factors that can affect the value of a fund’s shares and other important 
information about the funds, refer to the fund prospectuses.  
 
Less expensive share classes of the funds offered through this contract may be available for investment outside of 
this contract. You should evaluate the expenses associated with the funds available through this contract before 
making a decision to invest.   
 
Revenue from the Funds   
 
The Company may receive compensation from each of the funds or the funds’ affiliates. 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. 
 
The amount of revenue the Company may receive from each of the funds or from the funds’ affiliates may be 
substantial, 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.  
 
Assets allocated to affiliated funds, meaning funds managed by Directed Services LLC, ING Investments, 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 earn profit from this revenue to the extent it exceeds the Company’s 
expenses, including the payment of sales compensation to our distributors. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  15 

 



Revenue Received from Affiliated Funds. The revenue received by the Company from affiliated funds may 
be deducted from fund assets and may include:    
  A share of the management fee;   
  Service fees;   
  For certain share classes, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees; 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. 
 
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 are retained by the affiliated investment adviser and ultimately shared with the Company. The 
sharing of the management fee between the Company and the affiliated investment adviser does not increase, 
directly or indirectly, fund fees and expenses. The Company may also receive additional compensation in the form 
of intercompany payments from an affiliated fund’s investment advisor or the investment advisor’s parent in order 
to allocate revenue and profits across the organization. The intercompany payments and other revenue received from 
affiliated funds provide the Company with a financial incentive to offer affiliated funds through the contract rather 
than unaffiliated funds.   
 
Additionally, in the case of affiliated funds subadvised by third parties, no direct payments are made to the 
Company or the affiliated investment adviser by the subadvisers. However, subadvisers may provide reimbursement 
for employees of the Company or its affiliates to attend business meetings or training conferences.  
 
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 revenue received by the Company or its affiliates from unaffiliated funds may be deducted from fund assets and 
may include:   
  Service Fees;   
  For certain share classes, compensation paid from 12b-1 fees; and 
  Additional payments for administrative, recordkeeping or other services which 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.   
 
As of the date of this prospectus, Fidelity Investments is the only unaffiliated fund family offered through this 
prospectus. The Company receives more revenue from the affiliated funds than it does from the unaffiliated 
funds.    
 
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 
materials; targeted marketing sales opportunities, training opportunities at meetings, training modules for sales 
personnel, and opportunities to host due diligence meetings for representatives and wholesalers. 
 
Please note 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. See 
also “CONTRACT DISTRIBUTION.”   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  16 

 



Fund of Funds    
 
Certain funds may be structured as “fund of funds”. 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 
as well. The fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each fund and its corresponding 
underlying fund or funds. These funds are identified in the investment option list in the front of this prospectus. 
 
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. We reserve the right to deduct a charge for premium taxes from your account value or from purchase 
payments to the account at any time, but not before there is a tax liability under state law. For example, we may 
deduct a charge for premium taxes at the time of a complete withdrawal or we may reflect the cost of premium taxes 
in our income phase payment rates when you commence income phase payments. 
 
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 income phase payment rates.   
 
In addition, the Company reserves the right to assess a charge for any federal taxes due against the separate account, 
See “TAX CONSIDERATIONS.”   
 
YOUR ACCOUNT VALUE   
 
During the accumulation phase, your account value at any given time 
equals:   
  The current dollar value of amounts held in the subaccounts, which takes into account investment performance, 
  withdrawals and fees deducted from the subaccounts; plus 
  The current dollar value of amounts held in the Fixed Account, including interest to date.  
 
Subaccount Accumulation Units. When you select a fund as an investment option, your account dollars invest in 
“accumulation units” of the Variable Annuity Account B subaccount corresponding to that fund. The subaccount 
invests directly in the fund’s shares. The value of your interest in a subaccount is expressed as the number of 
accumulation units you hold multiplied by an “Accumulation Unit Value,” as described below, for each unit. 
 
Accumulation Unit Value (AUV). The value of each accumulation unit in a subaccount is called the accumulation 
unit value or AUV. The AUV varies daily in relation to the underlying fund’s investment performance. The value also 
reflects deductions for fund fees and expenses, the mortality and expense risk charge and the administrative expense 
charge (if any). 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 investment factor” of the subaccount. The net investment factor measures the investment 
performance of the subaccount from one valuation to the next. 
 
Current AUV = Prior AUV x Net Investment Factor   
 
Net Investment Factor. The net investment factor for a subaccount between two consecutive valuations equals the 
sum of 1.0000 plus the net investment rate.   
 
Net Investment Rate. The net investment 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 and the administrative expense charge, if any, and 
  any other fees deducted daily from investments in the separate account. See “FEES.” 
 
The net investment rate may be either positive or negative.

Hypothetical Illustration. As a hypothetical illustration, assume that your initial purchase payment is $5,000 
and you direct us to invest $3,000 in Fund A and $2,000 in Fund B. Also assume that on the day we receive the 
purchase payment, the applicable AUV’s after the next close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (normally 
at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) are $10 for Subaccount A and $25 for Subaccount B. Your account is credited with 300 
accumulation units of Subaccount A and 80 accumulation units of Subaccount B.  
 
  $5,000 Purchase Payment  Step 1: You make an initial purchase payment of $5,000. 
  Step 1 ||     
      Step 2: 
  ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company  ·  You direct us to invest $3,000 in Fund A. The purchase 
        payment purchases 300 accumulation units of Subaccount 
  Step 2 ||    A ($3,000 divided by the current $10 AUV). 
  Variable Annuity Account B     
      ·  You direct us to invest $2,000 in Fund B. The purchase 
  Subaccount A  Subaccount B Etc.    payment purchases 80 accumulation units of Subaccount 
  300  80    B ($2,000 divided by the current $25 AUV). 
  accumulation  accumulation

      applicable funds at the then current market value (net asset 
  || Step 3 ||  value or NAV). 
  Mutual  Mutual     
  Fund A  Fund B     
 
Each fund’s subsequent investment performance, expenses and charges, and the daily charges deducted from the 
subaccount, will cause the AUV to move up or down on a daily basis. 
 
Purchase Payments to Your Account. If all or a portion of the initial purchase payment is directed to the 
subaccounts, it will purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV next computed after our acceptance of your 
application as described in “Purchase and Rights.” Subsequent payments or transfers directed to the subaccounts will 
purchase subaccount accumulation units at the AUV next computed following our receipt of the purchase payment or 
transfer request in good order. The value of subaccounts may vary day to day. 
 
TRANSFERS     
 
During the accumulation phase, you may transfer amounts among the available subaccounts. Transfers from the Fixed 
Account may be restricted as outlined in Appendix I, and the total number of investment options that you may select 
during the accumulation period is limited. See “INVESTMENT OPTIONS - Limits on How Many Investment 
Options You May Select.” The minimum transfer amount is $500. You may establish automated transfers of account 
value. See “Dollar Cost Averaging.” Transfers must be made in accordance with the terms of your contract. You may 
not make transfers once you enter the income phase. See “INCOME PHASE.” 
 
Transfer Requests. Requests may be made 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     
  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 rolling 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 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 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 any warning letters may also be sent, as applicable, to the person(s) or 
entity authorized to initiate fund transfers or reallocations, the agent/registered representative, or the 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 that 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 and retirement 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. 
 
The Company does 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 companies, either by prospectus or stated policy, 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 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 purchase payments or contract value to the fund or all funds within the 
fund family.   
 
Charges for Transfers. We currently do not charge for transfers. 
 
Value of Your Transferred Dollars. The value of amounts transferred into or out of subaccounts will be based on the 
subaccount unit values next determined after we receive your transfer request in good order at our the address listed in 
“CONTRACT OVERVIEW-Questions: Contacting the Company,” or, if you are participating in the dollar cost 
averaging program, after your scheduled transfer.   
 
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. 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 following telephone or electronic instructions 
we believe to be genuine. If a loss occurs when we rely on such instructions, you will bear the loss.

Dollar Cost Averaging Program. Dollar cost averaging is an investment strategy whereby you purchase fixed dollar 
amounts of an investment at regular intervals, regardless of price. Under this program a fixed dollar amount is 
automatically transferred from one of your investment options to one or more of the subaccounts. Transfers from the 
Fixed Account under the dollar cost averaging program may be restricted. (See APPENDIX I.) Dollar cost averaging 
neither ensures a profit nor guarantees against loss in a declining market. You should consider your financial ability to 
continue purchases through periods of low price levels. There is no additional charge for this program. For additional 
information about this program, contact your local representative or call us at the number listed in “CONTRACT 
OVERVIEW - Questions: Contacting the Company.” Subaccount reallocations or changes outside of the dollar cost 
averaging may affect the program. Changes such as fund mergers, substitutions, or closures may also affect the 
program.

Reinvesting a Full Withdrawal. Within 30 days after a full withdrawal, if allowed by law and the contract, you may 
elect to reinvest all or a portion of the withdrawal. We must receive any reinvested amounts within 60 days of the 
withdrawal. We reserve the right, however, to accept a reinvestment election received more than 30 days after the 
withdrawal and accept proceeds received more than 60 days after the withdrawal. We will credit your account for the 
amount reinvested based upon the subaccount values next computed following our receipt of your request and the 
amount to be reinvested. We will credit the amount reinvested proportionally for annual maintenance fees and for 
early withdrawal charges imposed at the time of withdrawal. We will deduct from the amount reinvested any annual 
maintenance fee which fell due after the withdrawal and before the reinvestment. We will reinvest in the same 
investment options and proportions in place at the time of withdrawal.

account may vary from time to time but will not be less than the minimum rate     
stated in the supplemental contract delivered to the beneficiary together with     
the paperwork to make a claim to the Proceeds. Interest earned on the     
Proceeds in the account may be less than could be earned if the Proceeds were     
invested outside of the account. Likewise, interest credited on the Proceeds in     
the account may be less than under other settlement or payment options     
available through the contract. A beneficiary should carefully review all     
settlement and payment options available under the contract and are     
encouraged to consult with a financial professional or tax advisor before     
choosing a settlement or payment option.       
 
A beneficiary may request additional information about the retained asset

The following options are also available, however, the Tax Code limits how long the death benefit proceeds may be 
left in these options:     
  Leave the account value invested in the contract; or   
  Leave the account value on deposit in the Company’s general account, and receive monthly, quarterly, semi- 
  annual or annual interest payments at the interest rate then being credited on such deposits. Your beneficiary 
  can withdraw the balance on deposit at any time or request to receive payment in accordance with any of the 
  available income phase payment plans. See “INCOME PHASE - Payment Plans.” 
 
Steps Required for Death Benefits to be Paid to Your Beneficiary:   
  You must have designated a beneficiary(ies) for your contract;   
  Your beneficiary or someone on their behalf must provide us with proof of your death acceptable to us; and 
  Your beneficiary must elect one of the payment options available under the contract. 
 
We will not pay any death proceeds until the beneficiary elects a method of payment. Prior to the election of a 
payment method by the beneficiary, the account value will remain in the account and continue to be affected by the 
investment performance of the investment option(s) selected. The beneficiary will have the right to allocate or 
transfer amounts among available investment options. (Limitations may apply to transfers from the Fixed Account - 
see Appendix I.)     
 
We will mail payment to the beneficiary within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death and an election 
of the method of payment acceptable to us.     
 
Taxation. In general, payments received by your beneficiary after your death are taxed to the beneficiary in the 
same manner as if you had received those payments. Additionally, your beneficiary may be subject to tax penalties 
if he or she does not begin receiving death benefit payments within the time frame required by the Tax Code. See 
“TAX CONSIDERATIONS.”

  Choice of fixed or variable payments or a combination of fixed and   
  variable payments; and     
  Selection of an assumed net investment rate (only if variable payments are   
  elected).     
 
Your account will continue in the accumulation phase until you properly initiate income phase payments. Once an 
income phase payment option is selected, it may not be changed.   
 
What Affects Payment Amounts? Some of the factors that may affect the amount of your income phase payments 
include your age, gender, account value, the income phase payment option selected, the number of guaranteed 
payments (if any) selected, and whether you select fixed, variable or a combination of both fixed and variable 
payments, and, for variable payments, the assumed net investment rate selected.   
 
Fixed Payments. Amounts funding fixed income phase payments will be held in the Company’s general account. The 
amount of fixed payments does not vary with investment performance over time.   
 
Variable Payments. Amounts funding your variable income phase payments will be invested in subaccount(s) you 
select. Subaccounts available during the accumulation phase may not be available during the income phase. Currently, 
the ING Balanced Portfolio, ING Intermediate Bond Portfolio and ING Growth and Income Portfolio are the only 
subaccounts available during the income phase. For variable payments, you must also select an assumed net 
investment rate.     
 
 
PRO.75998-12  24   

 



Assumed Net Investment Rate. If you select variable income phase payments, you must also select an assumed net 
investment rate of either 5% or 3.5%. If you select a 5% rate, your first 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 3.5% rate, your first income phase payment will be lower and subsequent payments will increase more 
rapidly or decline more slowly depending upon changes to the net investment performance of the subaccounts you 
selected. For more information about selecting an assumed net investment rate, call us for a copy of the SAI. See 
“CONTRACT OVERVIEW - Questions: Contacting the Company.” 
 
Minimum Payment Amounts. The income phase payment option you select must result in: 
  A first income phase payment of at least $20; or   
  Total yearly income phase payments of at least $100. 
 
If your account value is too low to meet these minimum payment amounts you will receive one lump-sum payment. 
 
Restrictions on Start Dates and the Duration of Payments. When income phase payments start, the age of the 
annuitant plus the number of years for which payments are guaranteed may not exceed 95. 
 
Income phase payments will not begin until you have selected an income phase payment option. Failure to select an 
income phase payment option may have adverse tax consequences. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser if 
you are considering this course of action.   
 
Charges Deducted. When you select an income payment phase option (one of the options listed in the tables 
immediately below), a mortality and expense risk charge, consisting of a daily deduction of 1.25% on an annual 
basis, will be deducted from amounts held in the subaccounts. This charge compensates us for mortality and expense 
risks we assume under variable income phase payout options and is applicable to all variable income phase payout 
options, including variable nonlifetime options under which we do not assume mortality risk. In this situation, this 
charge will be used to cover expenses. Although we expect to make a profit from this fee, we do not always do so. 
For variable options under which we do not assume a mortality risk, we may make a larger profit than under other 
options. We may also deduct a daily administrative charge of 0.25% annually from amounts held in the subaccounts. 
 
Death Benefit During the Income Phase. The death benefits that may be available to a beneficiary are outlined in 
the income phase payment option table below. If a lump-sum payment is due as a death benefit, we will make 
payment within seven calendar days after we receive proof of death acceptable to us and the request for payment in 
good order at the address listed in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW-Questions: Contacting the Company.” If the 
continuing income phase payments are elected, the beneficiary may not elect to receive a lump-sum at a future date 
unless the income phase payment option specifically allows a withdrawal right. We will calculate the value of any 
death benefit at the next valuation after we receive proof of death and a request for payment. Such value will be 
reduced by any payments we made after the date of death. 
 
Payment of Death Benefit or Proceeds   
 
Subject to state law conditions and requirements, full payment of the death benefit or proceeds (“Proceeds”) to a 
beneficiary may be made into an interest bearing retained asset account that is backed by our general account. The 
retained asset account is not guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The 
beneficiary may access the entire Proceeds in the account at any time without penalty through a draftbook feature. 
The Company seeks to make a profit on the account, and interest credited on the account may vary from time to time 
but will not be less than the minimum rate stated in the supplemental contract delivered to the beneficiary together 
with the paperwork to make a claim to the Proceeds. Interest earned on the Proceeds in the account may be less than 
could be earned if the Proceeds were invested outside of the account. Likewise, interest credited on the Proceeds in 
the account may be less than under other settlement or payment options available through the contract. A beneficiary 
should carefully review all settlement and payment options available under the contract and are encouraged to consult 
with a financial professional or tax advisor before choosing a settlement or payment option.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  25 

 



A beneficiary may request additional information about the retained asset account and the draftbook feature or 
may elect to receive payment of the Proceeds by check rather than through the account’s draftbook feature by 
contacting us at the address shown in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW – Questions: Contacting the Company. 
 
Partial Entry into the Income Phase. You may elect an income phase payment option for a portion of your account 
dollars, while leaving the remaining portion invested in the accumulation phase. Consult a tax adviser before electing 
this option. The same or a different income phase payment option may be selected for the portion left invested in the 
accumulation phase. See TAX CONSIDERATIONS – Taxation of Income Phase Annuity Payments. 
 
Taxation. To avoid certain tax penalties, you or your beneficiary must meet the distribution rules imposed by the Tax 
Code. Additionally, when selecting an income phase payment option, the Tax Code requires that your expected 
payments will not exceed certain durations. See “TAX CONSIDERATIONS” for additional information. 
 
Income Phase Payment Options 
 
The following table lists the income phase payment options and accompanying death benefits available during the 
income phase. We may offer additional income phase payment options under the contract from time to time. 
 
Once income phase payments begin, the income phase payment option selected may not be changed. 
 
Terms to understand:   
•Annuitant(s): The person(s) on whose life expectancy(ies) the income phase payments are based; and 
•Beneficiary(ies): The person(s) or entity(ies) entitled to receive a death benefit under the contract. 
 
Lifetime Income Phase Payment Options

  Length of Payments: For as long as the annuitant lives. It is possible that only one payment will be 
Life Income  made if the annuitant dies prior to the second payment’s due date. 
  Death Benefit - None: All payments end upon the annuitant’s death. 
  Length of Payments: For as long as the annuitant lives, with payments guaranteed for your choice 
  of 5, 10, 15 or 20 years or as otherwise specified in the contract. 
Life Income -  Death Benefit - Payment to the Beneficiary: If the annuitant dies before we have made all the 
Guaranteed  guaranteed payments, we will continue to pay the beneficiary the remaining guaranteed payments 
Payments*  unless the beneficiary elects to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the 
  remaining guaranteed payments. 
  Length of Payments: For as long as either annuitant lives. It is possible that only one payment will 
  be made if both annuitants die before the second payment’s due date. 
  Continuing Payments: 
Life Income - Two  When you select this option you choose for 100%, 66 2/3% or 50% of the payment to continue to 
Lives  the surviving annuitant after the first death; or 
  100% of the payment to continue to the annuitant on the second annuitant’s death, and 50% of the 
payment will continue to the second annuitant on the annuitant’s death.
  Death Benefit - None: All payments end upon the death of both annuitants. 
  Length of Payments: For as long as either annuitant lives, with payments guaranteed for a 
  minimum of 120 months. 
Life Income - Two  Continuing Payments: 100% of the payment will continue to the surviving annuitant after the first 
Lives with  death. 
Guaranteed  Death Benefit - Payment to the Beneficiary: If both annuitants die before the guaranteed 
Payments*  payments have all been paid, we will continue to pay the beneficiary the remaining guaranteed 
  payments, unless the beneficiary elects to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of 
  the remaining guaranteed payments. 
Nonlifetime Income Phase Payment Options

  Length of Payment: You may select payments for 3-30 years. In certain cases a lump-sum payment 
  may be requested at any time. (see below) 
Nonlifetime-  Death Benefit - Payment to the Beneficiary: If the annuitant dies before we make all the 
Guaranteed  guaranteed payments, we will continue to pay the beneficiary the remaining guaranteed payments, 
Payments*  unless the beneficiary elects to receive a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of the

*Guaranteed period payments may not extend beyond the shorter of your life expectancy or until your age 95. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  26 

 



Lump-Sum Payment: If the Nonlifetime - Guaranteed Payments option is elected with variable payments, you may 
request at any time that all or a portion of the present value of the remaining payments be paid in one lump sum. Any 
such lump-sum payment will be treated as a withdrawal during the accumulation phase and if the election is made 
during the early withdrawal charge period we will charge the applicable early withdrawal charge. If the early 
withdrawal charge is based on completed purchase payment periods, each year that passes after income payments 
have begun is treated as a completed purchase payment period even though no additional purchase payments have 
been made. See “FEES - Early Withdrawal Charge.” We will send lump-sum payments within seven calendar 
days after we receive the request for payment in good order at the address listed in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW-

Calculation of Lump-Sum Payments: If a lump-sum payment is available under the income phase payment options 
above, the rate used to calculate the present value for the remaining guaranteed payments is the same rate we used to 
calculate the income phase payments (i.e. the actual fixed rate used for the fixed payments or the 3.5% or 5% 
assumed net investment rate used for variable payments).   
 
TAX CONSIDERATIONS     
      In this Section: 
Introduction     
 
The contract described in this prospectus is designed to be treated as an  · Introduction; 
 
annuity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This section discusses our  · Taxation of Nonqualified 
understanding of current federal income tax laws affecting the contract. The   
U.S. federal income tax treatment of the contract is complex and sometimes  Contracts; 
uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when reading this section:   
·  Your tax position (or the tax position of the designated beneficiary, as  · Possible Changes in 
  applicable) may influence the federal taxation of amounts held or paid out  Taxation; and 
  under the contract;     
·  Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could affect  · Taxation of the Company. 
  contracts issued in the past, including the contract described in this   
  prospectus;    When consulting a qualified 
·  This section addresses some, but not all, applicable federal income tax  tax adviser, be certain that he 
      or she has expertise in the Tax 
  rules and does not discuss federal estate and gift tax implications, state  Code sections applicable to 
  and local taxes or any other tax provisions; and    your tax concerns. 
·  No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court   
  would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below.   
 
We do not intend this information to be tax advice. No attempt is made to provide more than a general 
summary of information, and the Tax Code may contain other restrictions and conditions that are not 
included in this summary. You should consult with a qualified tax adviser for advice about the effect of 
federal income tax laws, state tax laws or any other tax laws affecting the contract or any transactions 
involving the contract.      
 
Nonqualified Contracts. The contracts described in this prospectus may be purchased on a non-tax qualified basis 
(“nonqualified contracts”). Nonqualified contracts are not related to retirement plans that receive special income tax 
treatment under the Tax Code. Rather, they are purchased with after- tax contributions and are purchased to save money 
for retirement in exchange for with the right to receive annuity payments for either a specified period of time or over the 
a lifetime of an individual.     
 
Taxation of Nonqualified Contracts     
 
Taxation of Gains Prior to Distribution.     
 
General. Tax Code section 72 governs the general federal income taxation of annuity contracts in general. We believe 
that if the contract owner is you are a natural person (in other words, an individual), the contract owner you will 
generally not be taxed on increases in the value of his or her nonqualified contract until a distribution occurs or until 
income phase 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’s account 
contract value generally will be treated as a distribution. In order to be eligible to defer federal income receive deferral 
of taxation on increases in the account value, each of, the following requirements must be satisfied: 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  27   

 



·  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 nonqualified contracts generally are 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 such 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 contract 
  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, such as the contract described 
  in this prospectus. The Company therefore reserves the right to modify the contracts 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; for    
·  Required Distributions. In order to be treated as an annuity contract for federal income tax purposes, the Tax 
  Code requires any nonqualified contract to contain certain provisions specifying how your interest in the contract 
  will be distributed in the event of your death. The nonqualified 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 Nonqualified-Qualified Contract. If the contract owner of If you are not a natural 
  person, a nonqualified contract is not a natural person, the contract generally is not treated as an annuity for federal 
  income tax purposes and any such the income on such contract for the applicable taxable year is currently taxable 
  as ordinary income. Income on the contract during the taxable year is equal to any increase in the account 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 considering an investment in the contract should consult with a qualified its tax adviser prior to 
  purchasing the contract. When the contract owner is not a 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. When the 
  contract owner is a non-natural person, a change in the annuitant is treated as the death of the contract owner; and 
·  Delayed Income Phase Annuity Starting Date. If the contract’s income phase annuity starting date occurs (or is 
  scheduled to occur) at a time when the annuitant has reached, or will have reached, an advanced age (e.g., after age 
  95), it is possible that the contract could would not be treated as an annuity for federal income tax purposes. In that 
  event, the income and gains under such the contract could be currently includible in your taxable income. 
 
Taxation of Distributions   
 
General. When a withdrawal from a nonqualified contract occurs, the amount received will be treated as ordinary 
income subject to federal income tax up to an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the contract value (unreduced by 
the amount of any early withdrawal surrender charge) immediately before the distribution over the contract owner’s 
investment in the contract at such that time. Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all premiums 
to the contract, plus amounts previously included in your taxable 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 nonqualified 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 nonqualified 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. 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  28 

 



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 partial withdrawals or, surrenders from either the 
original contract or the new contract during the 180 day period beginning on the date of the partial exchange may 
retroactively negate the partial exchange. If the partial exchange is retroactively negated, the partial withdrawal or 
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. 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 you to discuss any proposed 1035 exchange or subsequent distribution within 180 days of a partial exchange 
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. 
 
On September 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 which included 
language that permits the partial annuitization of non-qualified annuities, effective for amounts received in taxable years 
beginning after December 31, 2010. The provision applies an exclusion ratio to any amount received as an annuity 
under a portion of an annuity provided that the annuity payments are made for a period of 10 years or more or for life. 
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: 
·  If distributed in a lump sum, they are taxed in the same manner as a surrender of the contract, or 
·  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.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  29 

 



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, 2012, your entire balance must be 
distributed by August 31, 2017. 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 nonqualified 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: 
·  Which is purchased with a single premium;   
·  With annuity payments starting within one year from the date of purchase; and 
·  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.   
 
Multiple Contracts. Tax laws require that all nonqualified 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 Contact 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. 
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  30 

 



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 Tax 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 some states, to the extent that an annuity contract 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 holder’s spouse. 
 
Possible Changes in Taxation   
 
Although the likelihood of changes in tax legislation, regulation, rulings and other interpretation thereof 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 qualified tax adviser with respect to legislative developments and their effect on the contract. 
 
Taxation of the 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.   
 
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 thereof 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 contract 
value invested in the subaccounts.   
 
CONTRACT DISTRIBUTION   
 
General. 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 (“FINRA”) 
and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). ING Financial Advisers, LLC’s principal office is 
located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut 06095-4774. 
 
We sell the contracts through licensed insurance agents who are registered representatives of broker-dealers that have 
entered into selling agreements with ING Financial Advisers, LLC. We refer to these broker-dealers as “distributors.” 
The following distributors are affiliated with the company and have entered into selling agreements with ING 
Financial Advisers, LLC or the sale of our variable annuity contracts: 
  ING Financial Partners, Inc; and   
  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 holders or the separate account, but instead is paid by us through ING 
Financial Advisers, LLC. We intend to recoup this compensation and sales expenses paid to distributors through fees 
and charges imposed under the contracts.   
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  31 

 



Occasionally, ING Financial Advisers, LLC may enter into arrangements with independent entities to help find 
broker-dealers or banks interested in distributing the contract or to provide training, marketing and other sales-related 
functions, or administrative services. We will reimburse such entities for expenses related to and may pay fees to 
such entities in return for these services.   
 
ING Financial Advisers, LLC may also contract with independent third party broker-dealers who will act as 
wholesalers by assisting us in selecting broker-dealers or banks interested in acting as distributors. These wholesalers 
may also provide training, marketing and other sales related functions to the distributors and may provide certain 
administrative services in connection with the contract. ING Financial Advisers, LLC may pay such wholesalers 
compensation based upon purchase payments to contracts purchased through distributors that they select. 
 
ING Financial Advisers, LLC may also designate third parties to provide services in connection with the contracts 
such as reviewing applications for completeness and compliance with insurance requirements and providing the 
distributors with approved marketing material, prospectuses or other supplies. These parties may also receive 
payments for their services based upon purchase payments. ING Financial Advisers, LLC will pay all costs and 
expenses related to these services.   
 
Compensation Arrangements. Registered representatives 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 2.75%. 
We may also pay asset-based compensation up to 0.10%. In addition, we may pay ongoing annual compensation of 
up to 40% 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 2.75% 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 assets under management, sales of the contracts or other criteria. These arrangements may include 
commission specials, in which additional commissions may be paid in connection with premium payments received 
for a limited time period, within the maximum 2.75% commission rate noted above. These special compensation 
arrangements will not be offered to all distributors, the terms of such arrangements may differ among distributors 
based on various factors, and may be limited only to ING Financial Partners, Inc. and other distributors affiliated with 
the Company. 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, through ING Financial Advisers, LLC 
we may also pay distributors additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses for their efforts in selling 
contracts to you and other customers. These amounts may include: 
  Marketing/distribution allowances that may be based on the percentages of purchase payments 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 purchase payments (a form of lending to 
  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 may be conditioned on 
  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 
  own expense;   
 
 
PRO.75998-12  32 

 



  Sponsorship payments or reimbursements for distributors to use in sales contests and/or meetings for their 
  registered representatives who sell our products. We do not hold contests based solely on sales of this product; 
  Certain overrides and other benefits that may include cash compensation based on the amount of earned 
  commissions, representative recruiting or other activities that promote the sale of contracts; 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 pay 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.

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 
and/or services over those of another Company, and may also provide a financial incentive to promote one of our 
contracts over another.    
 
Third Party Compensation Arrangements. Please be aware that: 
  The Company may seek to promote itself and the contracts by sponsoring or contributing to events sponsored by 
  various associations, professional organizations and labor organizations; and 
  The Company may make payments to associations and organizations, including labor organizations, which 
  endorse or otherwise recommend the contracts to their membership. If an endorsement is a factor in your 
  contract purchasing decision, more information on the payment arrangement, if any, is available upon your 
  request.   
 
OTHER TOPICS   
 
Anti-Money Laundering   
 
In order to protect against the possible misuse of our products in money laundering or terrorist financing, we have 
adopted an anti-money laundering program satisfying the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act and other current 
anti-money laundering laws. Among other things, this program requires us, our agents and customers to comply with 
certain procedures and standards that will allow us to verify the identity of the sponsoring organization and that 
contributions and loan repayments are not derived from improper sources. 
 
Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require customers, and/or beneficiaries to provide sufficient 
evidence of identification, and we reserve the right to verify any information provided to us by accessing information 
databases maintained internally or by outside firms.   
 
 
 
PRO.75998-12  33 

 



We may also refuse to accept certain forms of payments or loan repayments (traveler’s cheques, cashier's checks, 
bank drafts, bank checks and treasurer's checks, for example) or restrict the amount of certain forms of payments or 
loan repayments (money orders totaling more than $5,000, 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 the payment to you.   
 
Applicable laws designed to prevent terrorist financing and money laundering might, in certain circumstances, 
require us to block certain transactions until authorization is received from the appropriate regulator. We 
may also be required to provide additional information about you and your policy to government regulators. 
 
Our anti-money laundering program is subject to change without notice to take account of changes in applicable laws 
or regulations and our ongoing assessment of our exposure to illegal activity. 
 
Payment Delay or Suspension   
 
We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment of benefits or values under any one of the 
following circumstances:   
·  On any valuation date when the New York Stock Exchange is closed (except customary weekend and holiday 
  closings) 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 fairly determine the value of the subaccount’s 
  assets; or   
·  During any other periods the SEC may by order permit 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.   
 
Performance Reporting   
 
We may advertise different types of historical performance for the subaccounts including: 
·  Standardized average annual total returns; and   
·  Non-standardized average annual total returns.   
 
We may also advertise certain ratings, rankings or other information related to the Company, the subaccounts or the 
funds.   
 
Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate standardized average annual total returns according to 
a formula prescribed by the SEC. This shows the percentage return applicable to $1,000 invested in the subaccounts 
over the most recent month-end, one, five and ten-year periods. If the investment option was not available for the 
full period, we give a history from the date money was first received in that option under the separate account or 
from the date the fund was first available under the separate account. As an alternative to providing the most recent 
month-end performance, we may provide a phone number, website or both where these returns may be obtained. 
Standardized average annual total returns reflect deduction of all recurring charges during each period (i.e. mortality 
and expense risk charges, annual maintenance fees, administrative expense charges, if any, and any applicable early 
withdrawal charges).   
 
Non-Standardized Average Annual Total Returns. We calculate non-standardized average annual total returns in 
a similar manner as that stated above, except we may include returns that do not reflect the deduction of any 
applicable early withdrawal charge. Some non-standardized returns may also exclude the effect of an annual 
maintenance fee. If we reflected these charges in the calculation it would decrease the level of performance reflected 
by the calculation. Non-standardized returns may include performance from the fund’s inception date, if that date is 
earlier than the one we use for standardized returns.   
 
Contract Modification   
 
We may change the contract as required by federal or state law or as otherwise permitted in the contract. Certain 
changes will require the approval of appropriate state or federal regulatory authorities.

Transfer of Ownership: Assignment   
 
We will accept assignments or transfers of ownership where such assignments are not prohibited, with proper 
notification. The date of any such assignment or transfer of ownership will be the date we receive the notification at 
the address listed in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW-Questions: Contacting the Company.” An assignment or 
transfer of ownership may have tax consequences and you should consult with a tax adviser before assigning or 
transferring ownership of the contract.   
 
An assignment of a contract will only be binding on the Company if it is made in writing and sent to us at the 
address listed in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW-Questions: Contacting the Company.” We will use reasonable 
procedures to confirm that the assignment is authentic, including verification of signature. If we fail to follow our 
own procedures, we will be liable for any losses to you directly resulting from such failure. Otherwise, we are not 
responsible for the validity of any assignment. Your rights and the interest of the annuitant and any beneficiary will 
be subject to the rights of any assignee we have on our records. 
 
Legal Matters and Proceedings   
 
We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings which involve the separate 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/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. 
 
ING Financial Advisers, LLC, the principal underwriter and distributor of the contract (the “distributor”), is a party 
to threatened or pending lawsuits/arbitration that generally arise from the normal conduct of business. Some of 
these 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 a material adverse effect on its ability to 
distribute the contract.

APPENDIX I
FIXED ACCOUNT

 
The Fixed Account is an investment option available during the accumulation 
phase of the contract.   
 
 
Additional information about this option may be found in the contract.

 
 
Amounts allocated to the Fixed Account are held in the Company’s general 
account, which supports insurance and annuity obligations. 
 
General Disclosure.   
 
·  Interests in the Fixed Account have not been registered with the SEC in reliance on exemptions under the 
  Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 
·  Disclosure in this prospectus regarding the Fixed Account may be subject to certain generally applicable 
  provisions of the federal securities laws relating to the accuracy and completeness of the statements. 
·  The SEC has not reviewed disclosure in this Appendix regarding the Fixed Account. 
 
Interest Rates.   
 
·  The Fixed Account guarantees that amounts allocated to this option will earn the minimum interest rate specified 
  in the contract. We may credit a higher interest rate from time to time, but the rate we credit will never fall below 
  the guaranteed minimum specified in the contract. Amounts applied to the Fixed Account will earn the interest 
  rate in effect at the time money is applied. Amounts in the Fixed Account will receive a compound interest rate as 
  credited by us. The rate we quote is an annual effective yield. Among other factors, the safety of the interest rate 
  guarantee depends upon the claims-paying ability of the Company. 
·  Our determination of credited interest rates reflects a number of factors, including mortality and expense risks, 
  interest rate guarantees, the investment income earned on invested assets and the amortization of any capital gains 
  and/or losses realized on the sale of invested assets. Under this option, we assume the risk of investment gain or 
  loss by guaranteeing the amounts you allocate to this option and promising a minimum interest rate and income 
  phase payment.   
 
Withdrawals. Except for contracts issued in the state of New York, withdrawals from the Fixed Account over 
$250,000 (for contracts issued prior to 1988) or $500,000 (for contracts issued after 1988) will be paid pursuant to a 
five year schedule. See your contract for details. Under certain emergency conditions, some contracts allow us to 
defer payment of any withdrawal for period of up to 6 months or as provided by applicable federal or state law. 
 
Charges. We do not make deductions from amounts in the Fixed Account to cover mortality and expense risks. We 
consider these risks when determining the credited rate. 
 
If you make a withdrawal from amounts in the Fixed Account, an early withdrawal charge may apply. See “Fees.” 
 
Transfers. During the accumulation phase, you may transfer account dollars from the Fixed Account to any other 
available investment option once during each calendar year. We may vary the dollar amount that you are allowed to 
transfer, but it will never be less than 10% of your account value held in the Fixed Account. 
 
By notifying us at the address listed in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW-Questions: Contacting the Company” at least 
30 days before income payments begin you may elect to have amounts transferred to one or more of the funds 
available during the income phase to provide variable payments.

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. (“ING”), 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, if any, 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. 
 
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 or under all contracts. 
 
A complete description of each of the funds, including their investment objectives, policies, risks and fees and 
expenses, are contained in the prospectuses and statements of additional information for each of the funds.

OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF CONTRACTS
 
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 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 “Purchase and Rights” and “Your Account Value.” 
 
Compensation paid to the principal underwriter, ING Financial Advisers, LLC, for the years ending December 31, 
2011, 2010 and 2009 amounted to $1,947,487.78, $1,947,487.78, and $1,658,134.85 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 10th valuation before 
the first payment is due. Such value (less any applicable premium tax charge) is applied to provide payments to you 
in accordance with the 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. When you select variable income payments, your account value purchases annuity units 
(“Annuity Units”) of the separate account subaccounts corresponding to the funds you select. The number of 
Annuity Units purchased is based on your account value and the value of each Annuity Unit on the day the Annuity 
Units are purchased. Thereafter, variable payments fluctuate as the annuity unit value(s) fluctuates with the 
investment experience of the selected investment option(s). The first payment 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 payment, but subsequent 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 on 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 period 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 10 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 10th valuation period 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 option table in the contract provides, for the 
payment option elected, a first monthly variable payment of $6.68 per $1000 of value applied; the annuitant's first 
monthly payment would thus be 40.950 multiplied by $6.68, or $273.55.  
 
3

 



Assume then that the value of an Annuity Unit upon the valuation period in 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 10th 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, Duff & Phelps, 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. 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, 2011, by correspondence with the transfer agents or fund company. 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, 2011, 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, ING has agreed to
separate its banking and insurance businesses by 2013. ING intends to achieve this
separation 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 one or more initial public offerings, sales, or a
combination thereof. On November 10, 2010, ING announced that ING and its U.S.
insurance affiliates, including the Company, are preparing for a base case of an initial
public offering of the Company and its U.S.-based insurance and investment management
affiliates.
 
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 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. Under applicable insurance law, the
assets and liabilities of the Account are clearly identified and distinguished from the other
assets and liabilities of ILIAC.
 
At December 31, 2011, the Account had 137 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 34
of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 103 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, 2011 and related Trusts are as follows:
  American Funds Insurance Series: Federated Insurance Series:
  American Funds Insurance Series® Growth - Income Federated Capital Appreciation Fund II - Primary
  Fund - Class 2** Shares*

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 Division and are recorded at fair value, determined
by the net asset value per share of the respective Division. Investment transactions in each
Division are recorded on the trade date. Distributions of net investment income and
capital gains from each Division are recognized on the ex-distribution date. Realized
gains and losses on redemptions of the shares of the Division 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
 
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. Prior to the annuity date, the Contracts are redeemable for the net
cash surrender value of the Contracts.
 
  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
 
102

 


 

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
 
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, 2011 and for the years ended
December 31, 2011 and 2010, were issued.
 
 
3. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
 
  Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements
 
In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting
Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (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:
 
§ 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 were adopted by the Account on January 1, 2010, except
for the disclosures related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which were adopted by the
Account on January 1, 2011. The Account determined, however, that there was no effect
on the Account’s disclosures, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by
the Account and the Account has no Level 3 financial assets or liabilities. As the
pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the
Account’s net assets and results of operations.

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, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique below. The
Account had no financial liabilities as of December 31, 2011.
 
The Account categorizes 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.
 
§ Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active
market. The Account defines an active market as a market in which transactions
take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on
an ongoing basis.
§ Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or valuation techniques that
require 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 1.50% 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.
 
  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 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 and Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal
Benefit, 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, 2011, management and service fees were 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 agreements provided for
  fees at annual rates up to 1.25% of the average net assets of each respective Fund.
 
  Management fees were also 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.

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, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in shareholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011.  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 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, 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.

Business

 

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.

 

ILIAC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. (“Lion” or “Parent”), which is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc. (“ING AIH”). ING AIH 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.”

 

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 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 one or more initial public offerings, sales, or a combination thereof. On November 10, 2010, ING announced that, in connection with the restructuring plan, it will prepare for a base case of an initial public offering of the Company and its U.S.-based insurance and investment management affiliates.

 

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 (i.e., payout) 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., 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.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of ILIAC and its subsidiaries, ING Financial Advisers, LLC (“IFA”) and Directed Services LLC (“DSL”).

 

Intercompany transactions and balances between ILIAC and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial information to conform to the current year classifications.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Those estimates are inherently subject to change and actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

The Company has identified the following accounts and policies as significant in that they involve a higher degree of judgment, are subject to a significant degree of variability, and contain accounting estimates:

 

Reserves for future policy benefits, valuation and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”), value of business acquired (“VOBA”), valuation of investments and derivatives, impairments, income taxes, and contingencies.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

The Company measures the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the asset or liability, which may include inherent risk, restrictions on the sale or use of an asset, or non-performance risk, including the Company’s own credit risk.  The estimate of an exchange price is the price in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability (“exit price”) in the principal market, or the most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market, for that asset or liability. The Company utilizes a number

 

C-11



Table of Contents

 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

of valuation sources to determine the fair values of its financial assets and liabilities, including quoted market prices, third-party commercial pricing services, third-party brokers, and industry-standard, vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs, and other internal modeling techniques based on projected cash flows.

 

The Company categorizes 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.  The Company defines an active market as a market in which transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

·                              Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or valuation techniques that require 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.

 

When available, the estimated fair value of securities is based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly obtainable.  When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the determination of estimated fair value is based on market standard valuation methodologies, including discounted cash flow methodologies, matrix pricing, or other similar techniques. See the Fair Value Measurements note to these Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the fair value of specific financial assets and liabilities.

Investments

 

The accounting policies for the Company’s principal investments are as follows:

 

Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities:  All of the Company’s fixed maturities and equity securities are currently designated as available-for-sale, except those accounted for using the fair value option (“FVO”).  Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”), and presented net of related changes in DAC, VOBA, and deferred income taxes.

 

Certain CMOs, primarily interest-only and principal-only strips, are accounted for as hybrid instruments and valued at fair value with changes in the fair value recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

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.  Investment gains and losses on sales of securities are generally determined on a first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) basis.

 

Interest income on fixed maturities is recorded when earned using an effective yield method, giving effect to amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividends on equity securities are recorded when declared. Such dividends and interest income are recorded in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Included within fixed maturities are loan-backed securities, including residential mortgage-backed securities (“RMBS”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”), and asset-backed securities (“ABS”). Amortization of the premium or discount from the purchase of these securities considers the estimated timing and amount of prepayments of the underlying loans. Actual prepayment experience is periodically reviewed and effective yields are recalculated when differences arise between the prepayments originally anticipated and the actual prepayments received and currently anticipated. Prepayment assumptions for single class and multi-class mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and ABS are estimated by management using inputs obtained from third-party specialists, including broker-dealers, and based on management’s knowledge of the current market. For credit-sensitive MBS and ABS, and certain prepayment-sensitive securities, the effective yield is recalculated on a prospective basis. For all other MBS and ABS, the effective yield is recalculated on a retrospective basis.

 

Short-term Investments:  Short-term investments include investments with remaining maturities of one year or less, but greater than three months, at the time of purchase.  These investments are stated at fair value.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

Assets Held in Separate Accounts: Assets held in separate accounts are reported at the fair values of the underlying investments in the separate accounts.  The underlying investments include mutual funds, short-term investments, and cash, and fixed maturities.

 

Mortgage Loans on Real Estate: The Company’s mortgage loans on real estate are all commercial mortgage loans, which 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 the lower of 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) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

All mortgage loans are evaluated by the Company’s investment professionals, including an appraisal of loan-specific credit quality, property characteristics, and market trends. Loan performance is monitored on a loan-specific basis. The Company’s review includes submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items.  This review evaluates whether the properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt.

 

All mortgages are evaluated for the purpose of quantifying the level of risk.  Those loans with higher risk are placed on a watch list and are closely monitored for collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal or interest.  The Company defines delinquent mortgage loans consistent with industry practice as 60 days past due.

 

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, all mortgage loans are held-for-investment.  The Company diversifies its mortgage loan portfolio by geographic region and property type to reduce concentration risk.  The Company manages risk when originating mortgage loans by generally lending only up to 75% of the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate.

 

The Company records an allowance for probable incurred, but not specifically identified, losses.

 

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.

Policy Loans: The reported value of policy loans is equal to the carrying value of the loans.  Interest income on such loans is recorded as earned in Net investment income using the contractually agreed upon interest rate. Generally, interest is capitalized on the policy’s anniversary date. Valuation allowances are not established for policy loans, as these loans are collateralized by the value of the associated insurance contracts. Any unpaid principal or interest on the loan is deducted from the account value or the death benefit prior to settlement of the policy.

 

Limited Partnerships/Corporations: The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in limited partnership interests, primarily private equities and hedge funds. Generally, the Company records its share of earnings using a lag methodology, relying upon the most recent financial information available, where the contractual right exists to receive such financial information on a timely basis. The Company’s equity in earnings from limited partnership interests are accounted for under the equity method is recorded in Net investment income.

 

Securities Lending: The Company engages in securities lending whereby certain domestic 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 securities.  Generally, the lending agent retains all of the cash collateral.  Collateral retained by the agent is invested in liquid assets on behalf of the Company.  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.

 

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the fair value of loaned securities was $515.8 and $651.7, respectively, and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Collateral received is included in Short-term investments under securities loan agreement, including collateral delivered.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, liabilities to return collateral of $524.8 and $675.5, respectively, are included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Other-than-temporary Impairments

 

The Company periodically evaluates its available-for-sale 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.  An extended and severe unrealized loss position on a fixed maturity may not have any impact on: (a) the ability of the issuer to service all scheduled interest and principal payments, and (b) the evaluation of recoverability of all contractual cash flows or the ability to recover an amount at least equal to its amortized cost based on the present value of the expected future cash flows to be collected.  In contrast, for certain equity securities, the

Company gives greater weight and consideration to a decline in market value and the likelihood such market value decline will recover.

 

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company prospectively adopted guidance on the recognition and presentation of OTTI losses (see the “Adoption of New Pronouncements” section below).  When assessing the Company’s intent to sell a security or if it is more likely than not the Company will be required to sell a security before recovery of its amortized 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 or capital needs.

 

When the Company has determined it has the intent to sell or if it is more likely than not that the Company 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) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as an OTTI.  If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not the Company 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) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The noncredit impairment is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Prior to April 1, 2009, the Company recognized in earnings an OTTI for a fixed maturity in an unrealized loss position, unless it could assert that it had both the intent and ability to hold the fixed maturity for a period of time sufficient to allow for a recovery of estimated fair value to the security’s amortized cost. The entire difference between the fixed maturity’s amortized cost basis and its estimated fair value was recognized in earnings if the security was determined to have an OTTI.

 

There was no change in guidance for equity securities which, when an OTTI has occurred, continue to be impaired for the entire difference between the equity security’s cost and its estimated fair value.

 

The Company uses the following methodology and significant inputs to determine the amount of the OTTI credit loss:

 

·                              The Company calculates the recovery value by performing a discounted cash flow analysis based on the present value of future cash flows expected to be received.  The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the fixed maturity prior to impairment.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

·                              When determining collectability and the period over which the value is expected to recover, the Company applies the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process, which incorporates information regarding the specific security, the industry and geographic area in which the issuer operates, and overall macroeconomic conditions. Projected future cash flows are estimated using assumptions derived from the Company’s best estimates of likely scenario-based outcomes, after giving consideration to a variety of variables that include, but is not limited to: general payment terms of the security; the likelihood that the issuer can service the scheduled interest and principal payments; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security’s position within the capital structure of the issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; and changes to the rating of the security or the issuer by rating agencies.

·                             Additional considerations are made when assessing the unique features that apply to certain structured securities such as RMBS, CMBS, and ABS.  These additional factors for structured securities include, but are not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral; expected prepayment speeds; current and forecasted loss severity; and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security.

·                              When determining the amount of the credit loss for U.S. and foreign corporate securities, foreign government securities and state and political subdivision securities, the Company considers the estimated fair value as the recovery value when available information does not indicate that another value is more appropriate. When information is identified that indicates a recovery value other than estimated fair value, the Company considers in the determination of recovery value the same considerations utilized in its overall impairment evaluation process, which incorporates available information and the Company’s best estimate of scenarios-based outcomes regarding the specific security and issuer; possible corporate restructurings or asset sales by the issuer; the quality and amount of any credit enhancements; the security’s position within the capital structure of the issuer; fundamentals of the industry and geographic area in which the security issuer operates, and the overall macroeconomic conditions.

 

In periods subsequent to the recognition of the credit related impairment components of OTTI on a fixed maturity through Net realized capital gains (losses) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, the Company accounts for the impaired security as if it had been purchased on the measurement date of the impairment. Accordingly, the discount (or reduced premium) based on the new cost basis is accreted into net investment income over the remaining term of the fixed maturity in a prospective manner based on the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows.

 

Derivatives

 

The Company’s use of derivatives is limited mainly to economic hedging to reduce the Company’s exposure to cash flow variability of assets and liabilities, interest rate risk, credit risk, exchange rate risk, and market risk. It is the Company’s policy not to offset

 

C-17



Table of Contents

 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments and fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments recognized at fair value executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement.

 

The Company enters into interest rate, equity market, credit default, and currency contracts, including swaps, futures, forwards, caps, floors, and options, to reduce and manage various 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 Derivatives or Other liabilities, as appropriate, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded in Net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging relationship, the Company formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction, as well as its designation of the hedge as either (i) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of a recognized asset or liability (“fair value hedge”); or (ii) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability (“cash flow hedge”). In this documentation, the Company sets forth how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the designated risks related to the hedged item and sets forth the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness and the method which will be used to measure ineffectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and periodically throughout the life of the designated hedging relationship.

 

·                             Fair Value Hedge Relationship:  For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge (e.g., hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the hedged item, to the extent of the risk being hedged, are recognized in Other net realized capital gains (losses).

 

·                             Cash Flow Hedge Relationship: For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (e.g., hedging the exposure to the variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to interest rate risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction impacts earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction.  The ineffective portion of the derivative’s change in value,

if any, along with any of the derivative’s change in value that is excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness, are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses).

 

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the estimated fair value or cash flows of a hedged item, the derivative continues to be carried in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at its estimated fair value, with subsequent changes in estimated fair value recognized immediately in Other net realized capital gains (losses). The carrying value of the hedged recognized asset or liability under a fair value hedge is no longer adjusted for changes in its estimated fair value due to the hedged risk, and the cumulative adjustment to its carrying value is amortized into income over the remaining life of the hedged item. Provided the hedged forecasted transaction is still probable of occurrence, the changes in estimated fair value of derivatives recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) related to discontinued cash flow hedges are released into the Consolidated Statements of Operations when the Company’s earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the hedged item.

 

When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is no longer probable that the forecasted transactions will occur on the anticipated date or within two months of that date, the derivative continues to be carried in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at its estimated fair value, with changes in estimated fair value recognized currently in Other net realized capital gains (losses). Derivative gains and losses recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) pursuant to the discontinued cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction that is no longer probable are recognized immediately in Other net realized capital gains (losses).

 

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 carrying amounts for these financial instruments, which can be assets or liabilities, reflect the fair value of the assets and liabilities.

 

The Company also has investments in certain fixed maturities, and has issued certain annuity products, that contain embedded derivatives whose fair value is at least partially determined by 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 maturities are included in Derivatives as assets or liabilities 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 annuity products are included in Future policy benefits on

the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value are recorded in Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, amounts due from banks, and other highly liquid investments, such as money market instruments and debt instruments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.  Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value.

 

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.  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.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

 

DAC represents policy acquisition costs that have been capitalized and are subject to amortization and interest.  Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, contract issuance, and certain agency expenses, related to the production of new and renewal business.  VOBA represents the outstanding value of in force business acquired and is subject to amortization and interest.  The value is based on the present value of estimated net cash flows embedded in the insurance contracts at the time of the acquisition and increased for subsequent deferrable expenses on purchased policies.

 

Amortization Methodologies

 

The Company amortizes DAC and VOBA related to fixed and variable deferred annuity contracts over the estimated lives of the contracts in relation to the emergence of estimated gross profits.  Assumptions as to mortality, persistency, interest crediting rates, returns associated with separate account performance, impact of hedge performance, expenses to administer the business, and certain economic variables, such as inflation, are based on the Company’s experience and overall capital markets. At each valuation date,

Table of Contents

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

actual historical gross profits are reflected and estimated gross profits, and related assumptions, are evaluated for continued reasonableness. Adjustments to estimated gross profits require that amortization rates be revised retroactively to the date of the contract issuance (“unlocking”).

 

The Company also reviews the estimated gross profits for each block of business to determine the recoverability of DAC and VOBA balances each period.  DAC and VOBA are deemed to be recoverable if the estimated gross profits exceed these balances.

 

Assumptions

 

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 the Company’s variable products.  One significant assumption 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. The Company’s practice assumes that intermediate-term appreciation in equity markets reverts to the long-term appreciation in equity markets. The Company monitors market events and only changes the assumption when sustained deviations are expected. This methodology incorporates a 9% long-term equity return assumption, and a 14% cap. The reversion to the mean methodology was implemented prospectively on January 1, 2011.

 

Prior to January 1, 2011, the Company utilized a static long-term equity return assumption for projecting account balance growth in all future years. This return assumption was reviewed annually or more frequently, if deemed necessary. Actual returns that were higher than long-term expectations produced higher contract owner account balances, which increased future fee expectations resulting in higher expected gross profits. The opposite result occurred when returns were lower than long-term expectations.

 

Other significant assumptions include estimated policyholder behavior assumptions, such as surrender, lapse, and annuitization rates. Estimated gross profits of variable annuity contracts are sensitive to these assumptions.

 

Contract owners may periodically exchange one contract for another, or make modifications to an existing contract.  These transactions are identified as internal replacements.  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.  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.

 

Future Policy Benefits and Contract Owner Accounts

 

Reserves

 

The Company establishes and carries actuarially-determined reserves that are calculated to meet its future obligations under its variable annuity and fixed annuity products.  The principal assumptions used to establish liabilities for future policy benefits are based on Company experience and periodically reviewed against industry standards. These assumptions include mortality, morbidity, policy lapse, renewal, retirement, investment returns, inflation, and expenses.  Changes in, or deviations from, the assumptions used can significantly affect the Company’s reserve levels and related future operations.

 

Reserves for individual immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits are equal to the present value of expected future payments.  Assumptions as to interest rates, mortality, and expenses are based upon the Company’s experience at the period the policy is sold, including a margin for adverse deviation.  Such assumptions generally vary by annuity plan type, year of issue, and policy duration.  Interest rates used to calculate the present value of future benefits ranged from 4.5% to 6.0%.

 

Although assumptions are “locked-in” upon the issuance of immediate annuities with life contingent payout benefits, significant changes in experience or assumptions may require the Company to provide for expected future losses on a product by establishing premium deficiency reserves. Premium deficiency reserves are determined based on best estimate assumptions that exist at the time the premium deficiency reserve is established and do not include a margin for adverse deviations. Reserves are recorded in Future policy benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Contract Owner Accounts

 

Contract owner account balances relate to investment-type contracts.

 

Account balances 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. Credited interest rates vary by product and ranged from 0.0% to 7.0% for the years 2011, 2010, and 2009.

Guarantees

 

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.

 

Reserves for  guaranteed minimum death benefits (“GMDB”) on certain variable annuities are determined by estimating the value of expected benefits in excess of the projected account balance and recognizing the excess ratably over the accumulation period based on total expected assessments.  Expected experience is based on a range of scenarios.  Assumptions used, such as near-term and long-term equity market return, lapse rate, and mortality, are consistent with assumptions used in estimating gross profits for purposes of amortizing DAC, and, thus, are subject to the same variability and risk. The assumptions of investment performance and volatility are consistent with the historical experience of the appropriate underlying equity index, such as the Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) 500 Index. The Company periodically evaluates estimates used and adjusts 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.

 

Products with guaranteed credited rates treat the guarantee as an embedded derivative for Stabilizer products and a stand-alone derivative for Managed custody guarantee (“MCG”) products.  These derivatives are measured at estimated fair value with changes in estimated fair value reported in Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

The estimated fair value of the Stabilizer and MCG contracts is determined based on the present value of projected future claims, minus the present value of future guaranteed premiums.  At inception of the contract the Company projects a guaranteed premium to be equal to the present value of the projected future claims.  The income associated with the contracts is projected using 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 are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks.  Nonperformance risk for product guarantees contains adjustments to the fair values of these contract liabilities related to the current credit standing of ING Insurance and the Company based on the credit default swaps with similar term to maturity and priority of payment.  The ING Insurance 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.

 

See the Additional Insurance Benefits and Minimum Guarantees note to these Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

Separate Accounts

 

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet specific investment objectives of contract owners 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 contract owners.  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 contract owner 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 contract holder; and

·                              All investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contract holder.

 

The Company reports separate account assets and liabilities that meet the above criteria at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets 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.

 

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 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 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

Table of Contents

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. Cash received is invested in short-term investments, with the offsetting obligation to repay the loan included as a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

The carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions and the related repurchase obligation are included in Securities pledged and Short-term debt, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the carrying value of the securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions, the related repurchase obligation, including accrued interest, and the collateral posted by the counterparty in connection with the change in the value of pledged securities that will be released upon settlement, were as follows.

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. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, 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.  The Company believes the counterparties to the dollar rolls, repurchase, and reverse repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

 

Recognition of Insurance Revenue and Related Benefits

 

For most annuity contracts, charges assessed against contract owner 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 contract owners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Premiums on the Consolidated Statements of Operations primarily represent amounts received for immediate annuities with life contingent payouts.  Premiums, benefits, and expenses are presented net of reinsurance ceded to other companies.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from temporary differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities are measured at the balance sheet date using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

 

The results of the Company’s operations are included in the consolidated tax return of ING AIH.  Generally, the Company’s consolidated financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from the Company’s activities during the current and preceding periods pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification topic 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740) as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of ING AIH’s consolidated income tax return group with the exception of any net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards, which are recorded pursuant to the tax sharing agreement.  The Company’s tax sharing agreement with ING AIH states that for each taxable year during which the Company is included in a consolidated federal income tax return with ING AIH, ING AIH will pay to the Company an amount equal to the tax benefit of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards generated in such year, without regard to whether such net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards are actually utilized in the reduction of the consolidated federal income tax liability for any consolidated taxable year.

 

The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of its deferred tax assets.  Deferred tax assets represent the tax benefit of future deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  Considerable judgment and the use of estimates are required in determining whether a valuation allowance is necessary, and if so, the amount of such valuation allowance. In evaluating the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers many factors, including:

 

·                              The nature and character of the deferred tax assets and liabilities;

·                              Taxable income in prior carryback years;

·                              Projected future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;

·                              Projected future reversals of existing temporary differences;

·                              The length of time carryforwards can be utilized; and

·                              Any prudent and feasible tax planning strategies the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused.

 

Management uses certain assumptions and estimates in determining the income taxes payable or refundable to/from the Parent for the current year, the deferred income tax liabilities and assets for items recognized differently in its financial statements from amounts shown on its income tax returns, and the federal income tax expense. Determining these amounts requires analysis and interpretation of current tax laws and regulations, including the loss limitation rules associated with change in control. Management exercises considerable judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting income tax liabilities and assets. These judgments and estimates are reevaluated on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change.

 

The Company determines whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained under examination by the appropriate taxing authority before any part of the benefit can be recognized in the financial statements.  Tax positions that do not meet the more likely than not standard are not recognized.  Tax positions that meet this standard are recognized in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  The Company measures the tax position as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate resolution with the tax authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information.

 

Reinsurance

 

The Company utilizes reinsurance agreements to reduce its exposure to losses from GMDBs in its annuity insurance business. Such reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Company as the direct insurer of the risks reinsured.

 

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, $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, equal the Company’s total individual life reserves and are related to the reinsurance recoverable from the subsidiary of Lincoln under this reinsurance agreement.  Individual life reserves are included in Future policy benefits and claims reserves on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Accounting for reinsurance requires extensive use of assumptions and estimates, particularly related to the future performance of the underlying business and the potential impact of counterparty credit risks. The Company periodically reviews actual and

anticipated experience compared to the assumptions used to establish assets and liabilities relating to ceded and assumed reinsurance.  The Company also evaluates the financial strength of potential reinsurers and continually monitors the financial condition of reinsurers. Only those reinsurance recoverable balances deemed probable of recovery are recognized as assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Contingencies

 

A loss contingency is an existing condition, situation, or set of circumstances involving uncertainty as to possible loss that will ultimately be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  Examples of loss contingencies include pending or threatened adverse litigation, threat of expropriation of assets, and actual or possible claims and assessments.  Amounts related to loss contingencies are accrued if it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, based on the Company’s best estimate of the ultimate outcome.  If determined to meet the criteria for a reserve, the Company also evaluates whether there are external legal or other costs directly associated with the resolution of the matter and accrues such costs if estimable.

A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring

 

In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-02, “Receivables (Accounting Standards CodificationTM (“ASC”) Topic 310): A Creditor’s Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring” (“ASU 2011-02”), which clarifies the guidance on a creditor’s evaluation of whether it has granted a concession and whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties, as follows:

 

·                              If a debtor does not have access to funds at a market rate for similar debt, the restructuring would be considered to be at a below-market rate;

·                              An increase in the contractual interest rate does not preclude the restructuring from being considered a concession, as the new rate could still be below the market interest rate;

·                              A restructuring that results in a delay in payment that is insignificant is not a concession;

·                              A creditor should evaluate whether it is probable that the debtor would be in payment default on any of its debt without the modification to determine if the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties; and

·                              A creditor is precluded from using the effective interest rate test.

Also, ASU 2011-02 requires disclosure of the information required in ASU 2010-20 about troubled debt restructuring, which was previously deferred by ASU 2011-01.

 

The provisions of ASU 2011-02 were adopted by the Company on July 1, 2011, and applied retrospectively to January 1, 2011.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2011, as there were no troubled debt restructurings during that period.

 

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses

 

In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, “Receivables (ASC Topic 310): Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses” (“ASU 2010-20”), which requires certain existing disclosures to be disaggregated by class of financing receivable, including the rollforward of the allowance for credit losses, with the ending balance further disaggregated on the basis of impairment method.  For each disaggregated ending balance, an entity also is required to disclose the related recorded investment in financing receivables, the nonaccrual status of financing receivables, and impaired financing receivables.

 

ASU 2010-20 also requires new disclosures by class of financing receivable, including credit quality indicators, aging of past due amounts, the nature and extent of troubled debt restructurings and related defaults, and significant purchases and sales of financing receivables disaggregated by portfolio segment.

 

In January 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-01, which temporarily delayed the effective date of the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings in ASU 2010-20.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-20 were adopted by the Company on December 31, 2010, and are included in the Financial Instruments note to these Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings included in ASU 2011-02, which was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2011 (see above). The disclosures that include information for activity that occurs during a reporting period were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011 and are included in the Financial Instruments note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.  As this pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure, the adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives

 

In March 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (ASC Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives” (“ASU 2010-11”), which clarifies that the only type of embedded credit derivatives that are exempt from bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the subordination of one financial instrument to another.

The provisions of ASU 2010-11 were adopted by the Company on July 1, 2010.  The Company determined, however, 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.

 

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 receive benefits that could be significant to the VIE;

·                              Requires an ongoing reassessment of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; and

·                              Requires enhanced disclosures, including (i) presentation on the balance sheet of assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs that meet the separate presentation criteria and disclosure of assets and liabilities recognized on the balance sheet and (ii) the maximum exposure to loss for those VIEs in which a reporting entity is determined not to be the primary beneficiary, but in which the reporting entity has a variable interest.

 

In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-10, “Consolidation (ASC Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds” (ASU 2010-10), which defers to ASU 2009-17 for reporting entity’s interests in certain investment funds that have attributes of investment companies, for which the reporting entity does not have an obligation to fund losses, and that are not structured as securitization entities.

 

The provisions of ASU 2009-17 and ASU 2010-10 were adopted on January 1, 2010. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the consolidation conclusions were consistent with those under previous U.S. GAAP. The disclosure provisions required by ASU 2009-17 are presented in the Financial Instruments note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recognition and Presentation of Other-than-temporary Impairments

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued new guidance on recognition and presentation of OTTIs, 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 OTTIs to be presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations with an offset recognized in AOCI 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 OTTI from Retained earnings (deficit) to AOCI; and

·                              Additional interim disclosures for debt and equity securities regarding types of securities held, unrealized losses, and OTTIs.

 

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 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 AOCI, with no overall change to shareholder’s equity. See the Investments note to these Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the Company’s OTTIs, including additional required disclosures.

 

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:

 

·                              How and why derivative instruments are used;

·                              How derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; 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 “Derivative Financial Instruments” section above and the Fair Value Measurements note 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.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets

 

In December 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-16 “Transfers and 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 control, unless the transfer meets the conditions for a participating interest; and

·                              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 were adopted on January 1, 2010. The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the Company did not have any QSPEs under previous U.S. GAAP, and the requirements for sale accounting treatment are consistent with those previously applied by the Company.

 

Business Combinations and Non-controlling Interests

 

Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations

 

In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, “Business Combinations (ASC Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU 2010-29”), which clarifies that if an entity presents comparative financial statements, it should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period.  Also, ASU 2010-29 expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the pro forma revenue and earnings.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-29 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011 for business combinations occurring on or after that date.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2011, as there were no business combinations during the period.

 

Accounting and Reporting for 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:

 

C-32



Table of Contents

 

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

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

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 

·                              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 were adopted, retrospectively, by the Company on January 1, 2010.  The Company determined, however, that there was no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, as there were no decreases in ownership of a subsidiary during those periods.

 

Fair Value

 

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:

 

·                              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 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures related to the Level 3 reconciliation, which were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011.  The disclosures required by ASU 2010-06 are included in the Financial Instruments note 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.

 

Measuring the Fair Value of Certain Alternative Investments

 

In September 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-12, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC Topic 820): Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset

 

C-33

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. The disclosure provisions required by ASU 2009-12 are presented in the Investments note 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 Fair Value Measurements note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.  The adoption had no effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, as the pronouncement only pertains to additional disclosure.

 

Other Pronouncements

 

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”), which states that an entity has the option to present total comprehensive income and the components of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single, continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate, consecutive statements.

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, which defers the ASU 2011-05 requirements to present, on the face of the financial statements, the effects of reclassification out of AOCI on the components of net income and other comprehensive income.

 

The Company early adopted provisions of ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2010-12 as of December 31, 2011, and applied the provisions retrospectively.  The Consolidated

Statement of Comprehensive Income, with corresponding revisions to the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholder’s Equity, is included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, the required disclosures are included in the AOCI note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Consolidation Analysis of Investments Held through Separate Accounts

 

In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-15, “Financial Services - Insurance ASC Topic 944): How Investments Held through Separate Accounts Affect an Insurer’s Consolidation Analysis of Those Investments” (“ASU 2010-15”), which clarifies that an insurance entity generally should not consider any separate account interests in an investment held for the benefit of policyholders to be the insurer’s interests, and should not combine those separate account interests with its general account interest in the same investment when assessing the investment for consolidation.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-15 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011; however, the Company determined that there was no effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows upon adoption, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company.

 

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 a Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

 

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets & Liabilities

 

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (ASC Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”), which requires an entity to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position, as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements.

 

The provisions of ASU 2011-11 are effective, retrospectively, for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods.  The Company is currently in the process of determining the disclosure impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-11.

 

Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”)

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (ASC Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”), which includes the following amendments:

 

·                              The concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise are relevant only when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets;

·                              The requirements for measuring the fair value of equity instruments are consistent with those for measuring liabilities;

·                              An entity is permitted to measure the fair value of financial instruments managed within a portfolio at the price that would be received to sell or transfer a net position for a particular risk; and

·                              The application of premiums and discounts in a fair value measurement is related to the unit of account for the asset or liability.

 

ASU 2011-04 also requires additional disclosures, including use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from its highest and best use, categorization by level for items in which fair value is required to be disclosed, and further information regarding Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

The provisions of ASU 2011-04 are effective during interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively.  The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-04.

Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements

 

In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-03, “Transfers and Servicing (ASC Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements” (“ASU 2011-03”), which removes from the assessment of effective control (1) the criterion requiring the transferor to have the ability to repurchase or redeem the financial assets on substantially the agreed terms, and (2) the collateral maintenance implementation guidance related to that criterion.

 

The provisions of ASU 2011-03 are effective for the first interim or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2011, and should be applied prospectively.  The Company is currently in the process of determining the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2011-03.

 

Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts

 

In October 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-26, “Financial Services - Insurance (ASC Topic 944): Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts” (“ASU 2010-26”), which clarifies what costs relating to the acquisition of new or renewal insurance contracts qualify for deferral.  Costs that should be capitalized include (1) incremental direct costs of successful contract acquisition and (2) certain costs related directly to successful acquisition activities (underwriting, policy issuance and processing, medical and inspection, and sales force contract selling) performed by the insurer for the contract. Advertising costs should be included in deferred acquisition costs only if the capitalization criteria in the U.S. GAAP direct-response advertising guidance are met.  All other acquisition-related costs should be charged to expense as incurred.

 

The provisions of ASU 2010-26 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company will adopt the guidance retrospectively. The Company currently estimates the adoption will result in a cumulative effect adjustment, reducing Retained earnings by approximately $440.0 and increasing Other comprehensive income by approximately $130.0 as of January 1, 2012, after considering the effects of income taxes.  These impacts are subject to change as the Company is still in the process of finalizing the impact of adoption of the provisions of ASU 2010-26.

The Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government and government agencies and the State of the Netherlands (the “Dutch State”) loan obligation, with a carrying value in excess of 10% of the Company’s Shareholder’s equity at December 31, 2011 and 2010.

 

At December 31, 2011 and 2010, fixed maturities with fair values of $13.6 and $13.4, respectively, were on deposit as required by regulatory authorities.

 

The Company invests in various categories of 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, 2011 and 2010, approximately 42.5% and 36.5%, respectively, of the Company’s CMO holdings were invested in those types of CMOs, such as interest-only or principal only strips, which are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs.

 

Certain CMOs, primarily interest-only and principal-only strips, are accounted for as hybrid instruments and valued at fair value with changes in the fair value reported in Other net realized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Transfer of Alt-A RMBS Participation Interest and Related Loan to Dutch State

 

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 covering 80% of ING’s Alt-A RMBS.  Refer to the Related Party

Transactions note to these Consolidated Financial Statements for further details of these agreements.

 

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 and determined that consolidation of these investments in the Company’s financial statements is not required, as the Company is not the primary beneficiary, because the Company does not have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and the obligation or right to potentially significant losses or benefits, for any of its investments in VIEs. The Company provided no non-contractual financial support and its carrying value represents the Company’s exposure to loss. The carrying value of collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) of $0.9 and $0.6 at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, is 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.

 

Securitizations

 

The Company invests in various tranches of securitization entities, including RMBS, CMBS and ABS. Some RMBS investments are in various senior level tranches of mortgage securitizations issued and guaranteed by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or a similar government-sponsored entity, typically referred to as “agency pass-through” investments. These securitizations pool residential mortgages and pass through the principal and interest to investors based on the terms of each tranche or portion of the total pool. Investments held by the Company in non-agency RMBS and CMBS also include interest-only, principal-only, and inverse floating securities. Through its investments, the Company is not obligated to provide any financial or other support to these entities.

 

Each of the RMBS, CMBS, and ABS entities described above are thinly capitalized by design, and considered VIEs under ASC 810-10-25 as amended by ASU 2009-17. As discussed above, the Company’s involvement with these entities is limited to that of a passive investor. The Company has no unilateral right to appoint or remove the servicer, special servicer, or investment manager, which are generally viewed to have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the securitization entities’ economic performance, in any of these entities, nor does the Company function in any of these roles. The Company through its investments or other arrangements does not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and will not consolidate any of the RMBS, CMBS, and ABS entities in which it holds investments. These investments are accounted for as investments as described in

Fixed Maturity Securities Credit Quality - Ratings

 

The Securities Valuation Office (“SVO”) of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) evaluates the fixed maturity security investments of insurers for regulatory reporting and capital assessment purposes and assigns securities to one of six credit quality categories called “NAIC designations.” An internally developed rating is used as permitted by the NAIC if no rating is available. The NAIC designations are generally similar to the credit quality designations of a Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”) for marketable fixed maturity securities, called “rating agency designations,” except for certain structured securities as described below. NAIC designations of “1,” highest quality, and “2,” high quality, include fixed maturity securities generally considered investment grade (“IG”) by such rating organizations. NAIC designations 3 through 6 include fixed maturity securities generally considered below investment grade (“BIG”) by such rating organizations.

 

The NAIC adopted revised designation methodologies for non-agency RMBS, including RMBS backed by subprime mortgage loans reported within ABS, that became effective December 31, 2009 and for CMBS that became effective December 31, 2010. The NAIC’s objective with the revised designation methodologies for these structured securities was to increase the accuracy in assessing expected losses, and to use the improved assessment to determine a more appropriate capital requirement for such structured securities. The revised methodologies reduce regulatory reliance on rating agencies and allow for greater regulatory input into the assumptions used to estimate expected losses from such structured securities.

 

As a result of time lags between the funding of investments, the finalization of legal documents and the completion of the SVO filing process, the fixed maturity portfolio generally includes securities that have not yet been rated by the SVO as of each balance sheet date, such as private placements. Pending receipt of SVO ratings, the categorization of these securities by NAIC designation is based on the expected ratings indicated by internal analysis.

 

Information about the Company’s fixed maturity securities holdings, including securities pledged, by NAIC designations is set forth in the following tables. Corresponding rating agency designation does not directly translate into NAIC designation, but represents the Company’s best estimate of comparable ratings from rating agencies, including Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch. If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used.

 

It is management’s objective that the portfolio of fixed maturities be of high quality and be well diversified by market sector. The fixed maturities in the Company’s portfolio are

generally rated by external rating agencies and, if not externally rated, are rated by the Company on a basis believed to be similar to that used by the rating agencies. Ratings are derived from three NRSRO ratings and are applied as follows based on the number of agency rating received:

 

·                              when three ratings are received then the middle rating is applied;

·                              when two ratings are received then the lower rating is applied;

·                              when a single rating is received, the NRSRO rating is applied;

·                              and, when ratings are unavailable then an internal rating is applied.

At December 31, 2011, the Company held no fixed maturity with an unrealized capital loss in excess of $10.0.  At December 31, 2010, the Company held 1 fixed maturity with an unrealized capital loss in excess of $10.0.  The unrealized capital loss on this fixed maturity equaled $10.0, or 4.3% of the total unrealized capital losses, as of December 31, 2010.

 

All investments 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 OTTI, which follows this section. After detailed impairment analysis was completed, management determined that the remaining investments in an unrealized loss position were not other-than-temporarily impaired, and therefore no further other-than-temporary impairment was necessary.

The Company may sell securities during the period in which fair value has declined below amortized cost for fixed maturities or cost for equity securities. In certain situations, new factors, including changes in the business environment, can change the Company’s previous intent to continue holding a security.

 

The fair value of fixed maturities with other-than-temporary impairments as of December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009 was $1.9 billion, $2.0 billion, and $3.0 billion, respectively.

 

The following tables identify the amount of credit impairments on fixed maturities for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, for which a portion of the OTTI was recognized in AOCI, and the corresponding changes in such amounts.

Net Realized Capital Gains (Losses)

 

Net realized capital gains (losses) are comprised of the difference between the amortized cost of investments and proceeds from sale and redemption, as well as losses incurred due to credit-related and intent-related other-than-temporary impairment of investments and changes in fair value of fixed maturities accounted for using the fair value option and derivatives. The cost of the investments on disposal is generally determined based on first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) methodology. Net realized capital gains (losses) on investments were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

Transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2

 

There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

During 2010, certain U.S. Treasury securities valued by commercial pricing services where prices are derived using market observable inputs have been transferred from Level 1 to Level 2.  These securities for the year ended December 31, 2010, include U.S. Treasury strips of $60.6 in which prices are modeled incorporating 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.

Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period.

 

Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

As described below, certain assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, further disclosure of estimated fair values is included in this Financial Instruments note. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The exit price and the transaction (or entry) price will be the same at initial recognition in many circumstances. However, in certain cases, the transaction price may not represent fair value. The fair value of a liability is based on the amount that would be paid to transfer a liability to a third-party with an equal credit standing. Fair value is required to be a market-based measurement which is determined based on a hypothetical transaction at the measurement date, from a market participant’s perspective. The Company considers three broad valuation techniques when a quoted price is unavailable: (i) the market approach, (ii) the income approach and (iii) the cost approach. The Company determines the most appropriate valuation technique to use, given the instrument being measured and the availability of sufficient inputs. The Company prioritizes the inputs to fair valuation techniques and allows for the use of unobservable inputs to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

 

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 Company reviews the assumptions and inputs used by third party commercial pricing services for each reporting period in order to determine an appropriate fair value hierarchy level. The documentation and analysis obtained from the third party commercial pricing services are reviewed by the Company, including in-depth validation procedures confirming the observability of inputs. 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 2011 and 2010, except for the Company’s use of commercial pricing services to value certain CMOs

which commenced in the first quarter of 2010. Certain CMOs were previously valued using an average of broker quotes when more than one broker quote is provided.

 

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

 

Fixed maturities: The fair values for the actively traded marketable bonds are determined based upon the quoted market prices and are classified as Level 1 assets.  Assets in this category would primarily include certain U.S. Treasury securities.  The fair values for marketable bonds without an active market are obtained through several commercial pricing services which provide the estimated fair values.  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 and are classified as Level 2 assets.  This category includes U.S. and foreign corporate bonds, ABS, U.S. agency and government guaranteed securities, CMBS, and RMBS, including certain CMO assets and subprime RMBS.  During the first quarter of 2011, the market for subprime RMBS had been determined to be active, and as such, these securities are now included in Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

 

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, independent broker quotes are solicited.  Securities priced using independent broker quotes are classified as Level 3.

 

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, 2011, $194.9 and $14.7 billion of a total of $19.2 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.

 

All prices and broker quotes obtained 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. For certain CMO assets, the average of several broker quotes may be used when multiple quotes are available. 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.

 

Fair values of privately placed bonds are primarily 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. In addition, certain privately placed bonds are valued using broker quotes and internal pricing models and are classified as Level 3 assets. The Company’s internal pricing models utilize the Company’s best estimate of expected future cash flows discounted at a rate of return that a market participant would require. The significant inputs to the models include, but are not limited to, current market inputs, such as credit loss assumptions, assumed prepayment speeds and business performance.

 

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.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments, and Short-term investments under securities loan agreement: The fair values for cash equivalents and 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 500 Index prices, and London Interbank Offered Rates, 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. The Company’s own credit risk is also considered and incorporated in the Company’s valuation process. Valuations for the Company’s futures and interest rate forward 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.  All other derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

 

Product guarantees: The Company records product guarantees for annuity contracts containing guaranteed credited rates in accordance with ASC 815.  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 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 liabilities. Explicit risk margins in the actuarial assumptions underlying valuations are included, as well as an explicit recognition of all nonperformance risks as required by U.S. 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.

 

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 consistent with the policies described above for Fixed maturities.

 

Level 3 Financial Instruments

 

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.

The transfers out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2011 in Fixed maturities, including securities pledged, are primarily due to the Company’s determination that the market for subprime RMBS securities has become active.  While the valuation methodology has not changed, the Company has concluded that the frequency of transactions in the market for subprime RMBS securities represent regularly occurring market transactions and therefore are now classified as Level 2.  The transfers out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2010 in Fixed maturities, including securities pledged, are primarily due to an increased utilization of vendor valuations for certain CMO assets.

 

The remaining transfers in and out of Level 3 for fixed maturities, equity securities and separate accounts during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 are due to the variation in inputs relied upon for valuation each quarter. Securities that are primarily valued using independent broker quotes when prices are not available from one of the commercial pricing services are reflected as transfers into Level 3, as these securities are generally less liquid with very limited trading activity or where less transparency exists corroborating the inputs to the valuation methodologies. When securities are valued using more widely available information, the securities are transferred out of Level 3 and into Level 1 or 2, as appropriate.

The following disclosures are made in accordance with the requirements of ASC Topic 825 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 Topic 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 equity fund of funds 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 from the Dutch Strip Yield Curve.

 

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, including associated expenses for maintaining the contracts, at rates, which are market risk-free rates augmented by credit spreads on current Company credit default swaps.  The augmentation is present to account for non-performance risk. A margin for non-financial risks associated with the contracts is also included.

 

Without a fixed maturity: Fair value is estimated as the mean present value of stochastically modeled cash flows associated with the contract liabilities relevant to both the contract holder and to the Company. Here, the stochastic valuation scenario set is consistent with current market parameters, and discount is taken using stochastically evolving short risk-free rates in the scenarios augmented by credit spreads on current Company debt. The augmentation in the discount is present to account for non-performance risk. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included.

 

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 rate.

 

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.

As of December 31, 2011, all commercial mortgage loans are held-for-investment.  The Company diversifies its commercial mortgage loan portfolio by geographic region and property type to reduce concentration risk.  The Company manages risk when originating commercial mortgage loans by generally lending only up to 75% of the estimated fair value of the underlying real estate. Subsequently, the Company continuously evaluates all mortgage loans based on relevant current information including an appraisal of loan-specific credit quality, property characteristics and market trends. Loan performance is monitored on a loan-specific basis through the review of submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items.  This review ensures properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt.

 

The Company has established a collective valuation allowance for probable incurred, but not specifically identified, losses related to factors inherent in the lending process.  The collective valuation allowance is determined based on historical loss rates as adjusted by current economic information for all loans that are not determined to have an individually-assessed loss.

The Company believes it has a high quality mortgage loan portfolio with substantially all of commercial mortgages classified as performing.  The Company defines delinquent commercial mortgage loans consistent with industry practice as 60 days past due.  There were no impairments taken on the mortgage loan portfolio for the year ended December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, there was a $1.0 and $10.3 impairment taken on the mortgage loan portfolio, respectively. As of December 31, 2011, all mortgage loans in the Company’s portfolio were current with respect to principal and interest. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest income until a loan becomes 90 days delinquent or foreclosure proceedings are commenced, at which point interest accrual is discontinued. Interest accrual is not resumed until past due payments are brought current.

Due to challenges that the economy presents to the commercial mortgage market, effective with the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded an allowance for probable incurred, but not specifically identified, losses related to factors inherent in the lending process.  At December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had a $1.3 allowance for mortgage loan credit losses.

 

All commercial mortgages are evaluated for the purpose of quantifying the level of risk.  Those loans with higher risk are placed on a watch list and are closely monitored for collateral deficiency or other credit events that may lead to a potential loss of principal or interest.  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 on 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.

 

The carrying values and unpaid principal balances (prior to any charge-off) of impaired commercial mortgage loans were as follows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

 

The Company has high quality, well performing portfolios of commercial mortgage loans and private placements.  Under certain circumstances, modifications to these contracts are granted. Each modification is evaluated as to whether a troubled debt restructuring has occurred. A modification is a troubled debt restructure when the borrower is in financial difficulty and the creditor makes concessions. Generally, the types of concessions may include: reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as originally stated, reduction of the contractual interest rate, extension of the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates and/or reduction of accrued interest. The Company considers the amount, timing and extent of the concession granted in determining any impairment or changes in the specific valuation allowance recorded in connection with the troubled debt restructuring. A valuation allowance may have been recorded prior to the quarter when the loan is modified in a troubled debt restructuring. Accordingly, the carrying value (net of the specific valuation allowance) before and after modification through a troubled debt restructuring may not change significantly, or may increase if the expected recovery is higher than the pre-modification recovery assessment. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company had one private placement troubled debt restructuring with a pre-modification and post-modification carrying value of $13.0 and $12.9, respectively.

 

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, the Company had no loans modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

See the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies note to these Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure regarding the Company’s purpose for entering into derivatives and the policies on valuation and classification of derivatives.  The Company enters into the following derivatives:

 

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 against rising interest rates.

 

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: Certain forwards are acquired to hedge certain CMO assets held by the Company 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).

 

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. 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.

 

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.

 

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 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.  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, 2011, the fair value of credit default swaps of $2.6 and $21.2 was included in Derivatives and Other liabilities,

respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of credit default swaps of $6.7 and $14.7 was included in Derivatives and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company on the sale of credit protection under credit default swaps was $518.3 and $625.6, respectively.

 

4.                                      Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs and Value of Business Acquired

 

Beginning in the first quarter of 2011, the Company implemented a reversion to the mean technique of estimating its short-term equity market return assumptions. This change in estimate was applied prospectively in first quarter 2011. The reversion to the mean technique is a common industry practice in which DAC and VOBA unlocking for short-term equity returns only occurs if equity market performance falls outside established parameters.

 

Activity within DAC was as follows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

5.                                      Capital Contributions, Dividends and Statutory Information

 

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 earned statutory surplus at the prior year end or (2) ILIAC’s prior year statutory net gain from operations.  Connecticut law also prohibits a Connecticut insurer from declaring or paying a dividend except out of its earned surplus unless prior insurance regulatory approval is obtained.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, ILIAC did not pay any dividends on its common stock to its Parent.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, ILIAC paid a $203.0 dividend on its common stock to its Parent.  During the year ended December 31, 2009, ILIAC did not pay any dividends on its common stock to its Parent. On December 22, 2011 and October 30, 2010, IFA paid a $65.0 and $60.0, respectively, dividend to ILIAC, its parent, which was eliminated in consolidation.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2011, ILIAC received capital contributions of $201.0 in the aggregate from its Parent. During the year ended December 31, 2010, ILIAC did not receive any capital contributions from is Parent. On November 12, 2008, ING issued to the Dutch State non-voting Tier 1 securities for a total consideration of EUR 10 billion.  On February 24, 2009, $2.2 billion was contributed to direct and indirect insurance company subsidiaries of ING AIH, of which $365.0 was contributed to the

Company.  The contribution was comprised of the proceeds from the investment by the Dutch State and the redistribution of currently existing capital within ING.

 

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 $194.4, $66.0, and $271.6,  for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.  Statutory capital and surplus was $1.9 billion and $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  As specifically prescribed by statutory accounting practices, statutory surplus as of December 31, 2010 included the impact of the $150.0 capital contribution received by ILIAC from its Parent on February 18, 2011.

 

Effective for December 31, 2009, the Company adopted Actuarial Guideline 43, Variable Annuity Commissioners Annuity Reserve Valuation Method (“AG43”). The NAIC replaced the existing formula-based reserve standard methodology (AG34, Death Benefits and AG39, Living Benefits) with a stochastic principles-based methodology (AG43) for determining reserves for all individual variable annuity contracts with and without guaranteed benefits and all group annuity contracts with guarantees issued on or after January 1, 1981. Variable payout annuity contracts are also subject to AG43. There is no cumulative effect of adopting AG43. Reserves calculated using AG43 were higher than reserves calculated under AG34 and AG39 by $69.1 at December 31, 2010. Where the application of AG43 produces higher reserves than the Company had otherwise established under AG43 and AG39, the Company may request a grade-in period, not to exceed three years, from the domiciliary commissioner. The grading shall be done only on reserves on the contracts in-force as of the current year. The reserves under the old basis and the new basis shall be compared each year with two-thirds of the difference subtracted from the reserve under the new basis at December 31, 2009 and one-third of the difference subtracted from the new basis at December 31, 2010 and the remaining third recorded in 2011.  The Company did elect the grade-in provision.  The reserves at December 31, 2011 reflect the full impact of adoption of AG43.

 

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 (“RBC”) 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%) that some portion of or all of the gross deferred tax assets will not be realized.  To temper this positive RBC impact, and as a temporary measure at December 31, 2009 only, a 5% pre-tax RBC charge was required to be applied to the additional admitted deferred tax assets generated by SSAP 10R.  The adoption for 2009 had a December 31, 2009 sunset; however, during 2010, the 2009 adoption, including the 5% pre-tax RBC charge, was extended through December 31, 2011.  The effects on the Company’s statutory financial statements of adopting this change in accounting principle were increases to total assets and capital and surplus of $86.7 and $68.9 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  This adoption had no impact on total liabilities or net income.

 

6.                                      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, 2011, the account value for the separate account contracts with guaranteed minimum benefits was $7.9 billion. The additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees was $5.4. As of December 31, 2010, the account value for the separate account contracts with guaranteed minimum benefits was $6.1 billion. The additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees was $4.4.

 

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, 2011 and 2010, was $7.9 billion and $6.1 billion, respectively.

Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2011, the Company did not have a tax valuation allowance related to realized and unrealized capital losses. At December 31, 2010, the Company had a tax valuation allowance of $109.0 related to realized and unrealized capital losses.  As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had full tax valuation allowances of $11.1 related to foreign tax credits, the benefit of which is uncertain.  The change in net unrealized capital gains (losses) includes an increase (decrease) in the tax valuation allowance of $(22.0), $(68.7), and $(38.3) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

 

Tax Sharing Agreement

 

The Company had a payable to ING AIH of $1.3 and $49.3 for federal income taxes as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for federal income taxes under the intercompany tax sharing agreement.

 

The results of the Company’s operations are included in the consolidated tax return of ING AIH.  Generally, the Company’s consolidated financial statements recognize the current and deferred income tax consequences that result from the Company’s activities during the current and preceding periods pursuant to the provisions of Income Taxes (ASC 740) as if the Company were a separate taxpayer rather than a member of ING AIH’s consolidated income tax return group with the exception of any net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards, which are recorded pursuant to the tax

sharing agreement. The Company’s tax sharing agreement with ING AIH states that for each taxable year during which the Company is included in a consolidated federal income tax return with ING AIH, ING AIH will pay to the Company an amount equal to the tax benefit of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards generated in such year, without regard to whether such net operating loss carryforwards and capital loss carryforwards are actually utilized in the reduction of the consolidated federal income tax liability for any consolidated taxable year.

 

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

 

Interest and Penalties

 

The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Current income taxes and Income tax expense on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the Consolidated Statements of Operations, respectively. The Company had no accrued interest as of December 31, 2011 and 2010. The decrease during the tax period ended December 31, 2011 is primarily related to the settlement of the 2009 federal audit.

 

Tax Regulatory Matters

 

In March 2011, the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) completed its examination of the Company’s returns through tax year 2009.  In the provision for the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company reflected an increase in the tax expense based on the results of the IRS examination and monitoring the activities of the IRS with respect to certain issues with other taxpayers and the merits of the Company’s position.

 

The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for tax years 2010 through 2012, and it is expected that the examination of tax year 2010 will be finalized within the next twelve months.  The Company and the IRS have agreed to participate in the Compliance Assurance Program (“CAP”) for the tax years 2010 through 2012.

8.                                      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 also 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. Additionally, effective January 1, 2009, the Retirement Plan was amended to provide that anyone hired or rehired by the Company on or after January 1, 2009, would not be eligible to participate in the Retirement Plan.

 

Beginning January 1, 2012, the Retirement Plan will use a cash balance pension formula instead of a final average pay (“FAP”) formula, allowing all eligible employees to participate in the Retirement Plan. Participants will earn an annual credit equal to 4% of eligible pay. Interest is credited monthly based on a 30-year U.S. Treasury securities bond rate published by the Internal Revenue Service in the preceding August of each year. The accrued vested cash balance benefit is portable; participants can take it when they leave the Company’s employ. For participants in the Retirement Plan as of December 31, 2011, there will be a two-year transition period from the Retirement Plan’s current FAP formula to the cash balance pension formula. Due to ASC Topic 715 requirements, the accounting impact of the change in the Retirement Plan was recognized upon Board approval November 10, 2011. This change had no material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

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 FAP 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 $24.6, $27.2, and $22.3 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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. The Savings Plan was most recently amended effective January 1, 2011 to permit Roth 401(k) contributions to be made to the Plan. 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. The cost allocated to the Company for the Savings Plan were $9.8, $10.7, and $8.9, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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 SERPs.  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.

 

Effective December 31, 2011, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was amended to coordinate with the amendment of the Retirement Plan from its current final average pay formula to a cash balance formula.

 

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, 2011 and 2010 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:

 

 

 

2011

 

2010

 

Discount rate at end of period

 

4.75

%

5.50

%

Rate of compensation increase

 

3.00

%

3.00

%

 

In determining the discount rate assumption, the Company utilizes current market information provided by its plan actuaries, 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 4.75% was the appropriate discount rate as of December 31, 2011, to calculate the Company’s accrued benefit liability.

 

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

 

 

 

2011

 

2010

 

2009

 

Discount rate

Since the benefit plans of the Company are unfunded, an assumption for return on plan assets is not required.

Stock Option and Share Plans

 

Through 2010, ING sponsored the ING Group Long-Term Equity Ownership Plan (“leo”), which provides employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Executive Board with 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.

 

Commencing in 2011, ING introduced a new long-term equity and deferred bonus plan, the Long-Term Sustainable Performance Plan (“LSPP”).  The terms applicable to an award under the LSPP will be set out in a grant agreement which is signed by the participant when he or she accepts the award.  The LSPP will provide employees of the Company who are selected by the ING Executive Board with performance shares and will also require deferral of discretionary incentive bonus awards in excess of EUR 100,000.  The performance shares awarded under the LSPP will be a contingent grant of ING ADR units and on settlement, the participant will have the right to either receive ING ADR units in kind or a cash amount equal to the closing price per ING share on the Euronext Amsterdam Stock Market on the settlement date times the number of vested ADR units, subject to achievement during the vesting period of performance targets based on return of equity and employee engagement. The excess bonus amount will be held in deferred ING ADR units or in a deferred cash account, or some combination thereof, depending on the total amount of the incentive bonus award, generally subject to vesting in three equal tranches over the three year period commencing on the date of incentive bonus payment.  Unlike the leo plan, no options on ING shares in the form of ADRs will be granted under the LSPP.  To vest in performance shares, deferred shares or deferred cash, an employee must generally be actively employed on the settlement date, although immediate full and partial vesting in the event of normal age or early retirement,

death or disability, or termination due to redundancy or business divestiture will occur, similar to the vesting treatment in the leo plan.

 

The Company was allocated from ING compensation expense for the leo options, leo performance shares and LSPP of $5.1, $3.4, and $3.7 for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, primarily related to leo.

 

The Company recognized tax benefits of $0.8, $0.7, and $0.1 in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively, and $0.3 , $0.1, and $0.1, respectively, are related to leo.

 

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. A favorable determination letter was received dated January 5, 2011.

·                              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 life insurance plan provides a flat amount of noncontributory coverage and optional contributory coverage.

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

·                              The ING Americas Deferred Compensation Savings Plan, which is a deferred compensation plan that includes a 401(k) excess component.

DSL has certain agreements whereby it generates revenues and expenses with affiliated entities, as follows:

 

·                              Underwriting and distribution agreements with ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company (“ING USA”) and ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York (“RLNY”), affiliated companies, whereby DSL serves as the principal underwriter for variable insurance products.  In addition, DSL is authorized to enter into agreements with broker-dealers to distribute the variable insurance products and appoint representatives of the broker-dealers as agents. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, commissions were collected in the amount of $218.3, $220.0, and $275.3.  Such commissions are, in turn, paid to broker-dealers.

Investment Advisory and Other Fees

 

Effective January 1, 2007, ILIAC’s investment advisory agreement to serve as investment advisor to certain variable funds offered in Company products (collectively, the “Company Funds”), was assigned to DSL. ILIAC is also compensated by the separate accounts for bearing mortality and expense risks pertaining to variable life and annuity contracts. Under the insurance and annuity contracts, the separate accounts pay ILIAC daily fees that, on an annual basis are, depending on the product, up to 3.4% of their

average daily net assets. The total amount of compensation and fees received by the Company from the Company Funds and separate accounts totaled $103.2, $246.1, and $212.3, (excludes fees paid to ING Investment Management Co.) in 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively.

 

DSL has been retained by ING Investors Trust (“IIT”), an affiliate, pursuant to a management agreement to provide advisory, management, administrative and other services to IIT. Under the management agreement, DSL provides or arranges for the provision of all services necessary for the ordinary operations of IIT. DSL earns a monthly fee based on a percentage of average daily net assets of IIT. DSL has entered into an administrative services subcontract with ING Fund Services, LLC, an affiliate, pursuant to which ING Fund Services, LLC, provides certain management, administrative and other services to IIT and is compensated a portion of the fees received by DSL under the management agreement. In addition to being the investment advisor of the Trust, DSL is the investment advisor of ING Partners, Inc. (the “Fund”), an affiliate. DSL and the Fund have an investment advisory agreement, whereby DSL has overall responsibility to provide portfolio management services for the Fund. The Fund pays DSL a monthly fee, net of sub advisory fees, which is based on a percentage of average daily net assets. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, revenue received by DSL under these agreements (exclusive of fees paid to affiliates) was $323.2, $314.3, and $270.0, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, DSL had $22.9 and $25.1, respectively, receivable from IIT under the management agreement.

 

Financing Agreements

 

Reciprocal Loan Agreement

 

The Company 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, 2016, either party can borrow from the other up to 3.0% of the Company’s statutory admitted assets as of the preceding December 31.  Interest on any Company 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, the Company incurred an immaterial amount of interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2001, and earned interest income of $1.3, $0.9, and $1.0, for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, 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, 2011 and 2010, the Company had an outstanding receivable of $648.0 and $304.1, respectively, with 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 bears interest at a rate of 6.26% per year. 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 was $11.1 for each of the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009.

 

Illiquid Assets Back-Up Facility

 

In the first quarter of 2009, ING reached an agreement, for itself and on behalf of certain ING affiliates including the Company, with the Dutch State on the 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 U.S. insurance 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 participates 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 on 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 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 U.S. 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 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 losses on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

As part of the final restructuring plan submitted to the 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, remain unaltered and the additional payments are not borne by the Company or any other ING U.S. subsidiaries.

 

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.

 

Transfer of Registered Representatives

 

On January 1, 2011, IFA transferred a group of registered representatives and their related customer accounts to its broker-dealer affiliate, ING Financial Partners, Inc. and received $5.0 as consideration for the transfer.  Effective January 1, 2011, IFA operates exclusively as a wholesale broker-dealer.

10.                               Financing Agreements

 

Windsor Property Loan

 

On June 16, 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 corporate office facility located at One Orange Way, Windsor, Connecticut that serves as the principal executive offices of the Company (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 provided for loan forgiveness during the first five years of the term at varying amounts up to $5.0 if ILIAC and its affiliates met certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property during that period.  On December 1, 2008, the DECD determined that the Company had met the employment thresholds for loan forgiveness and, accordingly, forgave $5.0 of the DECD Loan to ILIAC in accordance with the terms of the DECD Loan. The DECD Loan provides additional loan forgiveness at varying amounts up to $4.9 if ILIAC and its ING affiliates meet certain employment thresholds at the Windsor Property during years five through ten of the loan. ILIAC’s obligations under the DECD Loan are secured by an unlimited recourse guaranty from its affiliate, ING North America Insurance Corporation.

 

At both December 31, 2011 and 2010, the amount of the loan outstanding was $4.9, which was reflected in Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Also see Financing Agreements in the Related Party Transactions note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

11.                               Reinsurance

 

At December 31, 2011, 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, 2011, 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, the Lincoln subsidiary contractually assumed from the

Company certain policyholder liabilities and obligations, although the Company remains obligated to contract owners.  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 $10.3 and $11.5 were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

 

Reinsurance ceded in force for life mortality risks were $16.2 billion and $17.4 billion at December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2011 and 2010, net receivables were comprised of the following:

Leases

 

All of the Company’s expenses for leased and subleased office properties are paid for by an affiliate and allocated back to the Company, as all remaining operating leases were executed by ING North America Insurance Corporation as of December 31, 2008, which resulted in the Company no longer being party to any operating leases. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010, and 2009, rent expense for leases was $5.0, $4.0, and $5.1, respectively.

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.

 

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $536.4 and $336.3, respectively.

 

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, 2011 and 2010, the Company held $110.0 and $4.7, of cash collateral, respectively, which was included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company delivered collateral of $77.9 and $93.8, 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.

 

Regulatory Matters

 

As with many financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with examinations, inquiries, investigations and audits of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry.  These currently include an inquiry regarding the Company’s policy for correcting errors made in processing trades for ERISA plans or

plan participants.  Some of these investigations, examinations, audits and inquiries could result in regulatory action against the Company. The potential outcome of the investigations, examinations, audits, inquiries and any such regulatory action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, additional payments to plans or participants, disgorgement, settlement payments, penalties, fines, and other financial liability and changes to the Company’s policies and procedures, the financial impact of which cannot be estimated at this time, but management does not believe will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.  It is the practice of the Company and its affiliates to cooperate fully in these matters.

Statement on Form N-6 for Security Life Separate Account L1 of Security Life of Denver

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners   
 
As of February 29, 2012, there were 42,258 individuals holding interests in variable annuity

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(2); (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 either or both the principal underwriter, 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

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

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.       

 



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

Amendment to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the Town of
