                                                                                             PART A


ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company
Variable Annuity Account B
Individual Nonqualified Variable Annuity
CONTRACT PROSPECTUS – MAY 1, 2013
 
The Contract. The contracts described in this prospectus are individual nonqualified deferred fixed and variable
annuity contracts issued by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Company”, “we,” “us” and “our”). They
are intended to provide retirement benefits to individuals who either are not participating in a formal retirement plan or
are participating in a formal retirement plan but want to supplement their benefits.
 
Why Reading this Prospectus Is Important. This prospectus contains facts about the contracts and their investment
options you should know before purchasing. This information will help you decide if the contracts are right for you.
Please read this prospectus carefully and keep it for future reference.
 
Investment Options. The contracts offer variable investment options and a fixed interest option. When we establish
your account, you instruct us to direct your account dollars to any of the available investment options.
 
Variable Investment Options. These options are called subaccounts. The subaccounts are within Variable Annuity
Account B (the “separate account”), a separate account of the Company. Each subaccount invests in one of the mutual
funds (“funds”) listed on the next page. Earnings on amounts invested in a subaccount will vary depending upon the
performance of its underlying mutual fund. You do not invest directly in or hold shares of the funds.
 
Fixed Interest Option.
 
Fixed Account
 
Except as specifically mentioned, this prospectus describes only the variable investment options. However, we
describe the Fixed Account in Appendix I of this prospectus.
 
Risks Associated with Investing in the Funds. The funds in which the subaccounts invest have various risks.
Information about the risks of investing in the funds is located in the “INVESTMENT OPTIONS” section on page
10 and in each fund prospectus. Read this prospectus in conjunction with the fund prospectuses, and retain the
prospectuses for future reference.
 
These contracts are not deposits with, obligations of or guaranteed or endorsed by any bank, nor are they
insured by the FDIC. The contracts are subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the principal
amount invested.
 
Compensation. We pay compensation to broker/dealers whose registered representatives sell the contracts. See
“CONTRACT DISTRIBUTION” for further information about the amount of compensation we pay.

  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 may not impose this charge. If allowed by your contract, however, 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.

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
(0.059%), 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

$716 $1,269 $1,849 $2,855 $255 $784 $1,340 $2,855
 
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 $1,090 $1,550 $2,221 $193 $597 $1,026 $2,221
               
* 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 consolidated 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.  
 
Pursuant to an agreement with the European Commission (“EC”), ING has announced its intention to divest itself
of ING U.S., Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Company (“ING U.S.”), which constitutes ING’s U.S.-based
retirement, investment management and insurance operations. Under the agreement with the EC, ING is required to
divest itself of at least 25% of ING U.S. by the end of 2013, more than 50% by the end of 2014 and 100% by the end
of 2016. While all options for effecting the separation from ING remain open, ING has announced that the base case
for this separation includes an initial public offering (“IPO”) of ING U.S., and in connection with the proposed IPO of
its common stock ING U.S. filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC in November 2012, which was
amended in January, March, and April 2013. While the base case for the separation is an IPO, all options remain open
and it is possible that ING’s divestment of ING U.S. may take place by means of a sale to a single buyer or group of
buyers.  
 
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
 
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
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.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 10

 


 

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.
 
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;
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 11

 


 

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 Appendix 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.

PRO.75998-13 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.75998-13 14

 


 

Administrative Expense Charge  
 
Maximum Amount. 0.25%. We may 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 the cost of providing administrative services under the contracts and in
relation to the separate account and subaccounts.
 
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.75998-13 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
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.75998-13 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.”
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 17

 


 

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 ||    
  ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company Step 2:
  · You direct us to invest $3,000 in Fund A. The purchase
    payment purchases 300 accumulation units of Subaccount

· You direct us to invest $2,000 in Fund B. The purchase

    B ($2,000 divided by the current $25 AUV).
     
  Step 3: The separate account purchases shares of the
  applicable funds at the then current market value (net asset
  || Step 3 || value or NAV).
  Mutual
Fund A
Mutual
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 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
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 19

 


 

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 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.

options available under the contract and are encouraged to consult with a    
financial professional or tax adviser before choosing a settlement or payment    
option.      
 
 
The Retained Asset Account. The retained asset account, known as the ING Personal Transition Account, is an
interest bearing account backed by our general account. The retained asset account is not guaranteed by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Beneficiaries that receive their payment through the retained
asset account may access the entire Proceeds in the account at any time without penalty through a draftbook feature.
The Company seeks to earn 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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 23    

 


 

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,
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 24  

 


 

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.  
 
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 the conditions and requirements of state law, full payment of
the death benefit or proceeds (“Proceeds”) to a beneficiary may be made either into an interest bearing retained asset
account that is backed by our general account or by check. For additional information about the payment options
available to you, please refer to your claim forms or contact us at the address shown in “CONTRACT OVERVIEW
– Questions: Contacting the Company.” Beneficiaries should carefully review all settlement and payment options
available under the contract and are encouraged to consult with a financial professional or tax adviser before choosing
a settlement or payment option. See “DEATH BENEFIT – The Retained Asset Account” for more information
about the retained asset account.  
 
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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 25

 


 

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.

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)

*Guaranteed period payments may not extend beyond the shorter of your life expectancy or until your age 95.
 
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-
Questions: Contacting the Company.”
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 26

 


 

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).

· 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 a lifetime.    
 
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 a natural person (in other words, an individual), the contract owner 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 value generally
will be treated as a distribution. In order to be eligible to receive deferral of taxation on increases in the account value,
each of the following requirements must be satisfied:    
 
· Diversification. Tax Code section 817(h) requires that in a nonqualified contract the investments of the funds be
  “adequately diversified” in accordance with Treasury Regulations in order for the contract to qualify as an annuity
  contract under federal tax law. The separate account, through the funds, intends to comply with the diversification
  requirements prescribed by Tax Code section 817(h) and by the Treasury in Reg. Sec. 1.817-5, which affects how
  the funds’ assets may be invested. If it is determined, however, that your contract does not satisfy the applicable
  diversification requirements and rulings because a subaccount’s corresponding fund fails to be adequately
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 27  

 


 

  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;  
· 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 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 purchase payments 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 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 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 purchase
payments 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.
 
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.
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 28

 


 

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.75998-13 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, 2013, your entire balance must be
distributed by August 31, 2018. 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 purchase 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 purchase payment;
· 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.75998-13 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.75998-13 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;  
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 32

 


 

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;  
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.  
 
 
The following is a list of the top 25 distributors that, during 2012, received the most compensation, in the aggregate,
from us in connection with the sale of registered variable annuity contracts issued by the Company, ranked by total
dollars received:  
· ING Financial Partners, Inc. · NFP Securities, Inc.
· Symetra Investment Services, Inc. · Morgan Keegan and Company, Inc.
· LPL Financial Corporation · Securities America, Inc.
· American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc. · Cadaret, Grant & Co., Inc.

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.  
 
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.  
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 34

 


 

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 Proceedings  
 
We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings that are likely to have a material adverse effect upon the
Company’s ability to meet its obligations under the contract, ING Financial Advisers, LLC ability to distribute the
contract or upon the separate account.  
 
· Litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and/or ING Financial Advisers, LLC, is a
defendant in a number of litigation matters arising from the conduct of its business, both in the ordinary
course and otherwise. In some of these matters, claimants seek to recover very large or indeterminate
amounts, including compensatory, punitive, treble and exemplary damages. Certain claims are asserted as
class actions. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of
monetary damages and other relief. The variability in pleading requirements and past experience
demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim oftentimes bears
little relevance to the merits or potential value of a claim. Due to the uncertainties of litigation, the outcome
of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and a determination of
potential losses requires significant management judgment.
 
 
 
 
PRO.75998-13 35

 


 

  · Regulatory Matters. As with other financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates, including
  ING Financial Advisers, LLC, periodically receive informal and formal requests for information from
  various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with
  inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry.
  It is the practice of the Company to cooperate fully in these matters. Regulatory investigations, exams,
  inquiries and audits could result in regulatory action against the Company or subject the Company to
  settlement payments, fines, penalties and other financial consequences, as well as changes to the
  Company’s policies and procedures.  
 
It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome for all pending litigation and regulatory matters and given the large
and indeterminate amounts sought and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, it is possible that an adverse
outcome in certain litigation or regulatory matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period.

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”) 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
Holdings 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.
 
Pursuant to an agreement with the European Commission (“EC”), ING has announced its intention to divest itself of
ING U.S., Inc. and its subsidiaries, including the Company (“ING U.S.”), which constitutes ING’s U.S.-based
retirement, investment management and insurance operations. Under the agreement with the EC, ING is required to
divest itself of at least 25% of ING U.S. by the end of 2013, more than 50% by the end of 2014 and 100% by the end
of 2016. While all options for effecting the separation from ING remain open, ING has announced that the base
case for this separation includes an initial public offering (“IPO”) of ING U.S., and in connection with the proposed
IPO of its common stock ING U.S. filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC in November 2012,
which was amended in January, March and April 2013. While the base case for the separation is an IPO, all options
remain open and it is possible that ING’s divestment of ING U.S. may take place by means of a sale to a single
buyer or group of buyers.
 
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, 2012, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $1,907,879.60, $1,947,487.78 and $1,947,487.78 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
 
The Board of Directors and Participants
ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company
 
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life
Insurance and Annuity Company (the “Account”), which comprise the statements of assets and liabilities
of each of the investment divisions disclosed in Note 1 as of December 31, 2012, and the related
statements of operations for the year or period then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets for
the years or periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility
of the Account’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 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, 2012, by correspondence with the transfer agents or fund companies. 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 investment divisions disclosed in Note 1 constituting Variable Annuity
Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company at December 31, 2012, the results of their
operations for the year or period then ended, and the changes in their net assets for the years or periods 
ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 U.S., Inc. (name changed
    from ING America Insurance Holdings, Inc.), an insurance holding company domiciled in
    the State of Delaware. ING U.S., Inc. is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING
    Groep, N.V. (“ING”), a global financial services holding company based in The
    Netherlands.  
 
    ING has announced the anticipated separation of its global banking and insurance
    businesses. While all options for effecting this separation remain open, ING has
    announced that the base case for this separation includes an initial public offering ("IPO")
    of ING U.S., Inc., which together with its subsidiaries, constitutes ING's U.S.-based
    retirement, investment management, and insurance operations. ING U.S., Inc. filed a
    registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
    (“SEC”) on November 9, 2012, which was amended on January 23, 2013 and March 19,
    2013, in connection with the proposed IPO of its common stock.
 
    The Account is registered as a unit investment trust with the SEC 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 (an investment option in the Company’s general
    account), as directed by the contract owners. 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, 2012, the Account had 130 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 32
    of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 98 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, 2012 and related Trusts are as follows:

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 fair value of investments owned
    on the day of measurement is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of
    investments.

VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT B OF
ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
 
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
(“IRC”). Under the current provisions of the IRC, the Company does not expect to incur
federal income taxes on the earnings of the Account to the extent the earnings are credited
to contract owners. Accordingly, earnings and realized capital gains of the Account
attributable to the contract owners are excluded in the determination of the federal
income tax liability of ILIAC, and no charge is being made to the Account for federal
income taxes for these amounts. The Company will review this tax accounting in the
event of changes in the tax law. Such changes in the law may result in a charge for federal
income taxes.
 
Contract Owner 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 contract
owners invested in the Account Divisions. Net assets allocated to contracts in the payout
period are computed according to the industry standard mortality tables. The assumed
investment return is elected by the annuitant and may vary from 0.0% to 5.0%. The
mortality risk is fully borne by the Company to the extent that benefits to be paid to the
contract owners 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 contract owner activity, including deposits, surrenders
and withdrawals, benefits, and contract charges. Also included are transfers between the
fixed account and the Divisions, transfers between Divisions, and transfers to (from)
ILIAC related to gains and losses resulting from actual mortality experience (the full
responsibility for which is assumed by ILIAC). Any net unsettled transactions as of the
reporting date are included in Due to related parties on the Statements of Assets and
Liabilities.
 
Subsequent Events
 
The Account has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the
date the financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and for the years ended
December 31, 2012 and 2011, were issued.

Notes to Financial Statements
 
3 . 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, 2012 based on the priority
    of the inputs to the valuation technique below. There were no transfers among the levels
    for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Account had no financial liabilities as of
    December 31, 2012.
 
    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.

4 . Charges and Fees
 
    Under the terms of the Contracts, certain charges and fees are incurred by the Contracts to
    cover ILIAC’s expenses in connection with the issuance and administration of the
    Contracts. Following is a summary of these charges and fees:
 
    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. These charges are assessed through a reduction in unit values.
 
    Asset Based Administrative Charges
 
    A daily charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at an annual
    rate of up to 0.25% of the assets attributable to the Contracts. These charges are assessed
    through a reduction in unit values.
 
    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.
    These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.
 
    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. These
    charges are assessed through the redemption of units.
 
    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 contract owner’s state of residence and currently ranges up to 4.00% of premiums.
    These charges are assessed through the redemption of units.
 
    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 contract owners who

ING LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITY COMPANY
Notes to Financial Statements
 
    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 contract owners who select the Premium Bonus
    Option feature. These charges are assessed through either a reduction in unit values or
    the redemption of units.
 
    Fees Waived by ILIAC
 
    Certain charges and fees for various types of Contracts may be waived by ILIAC. ILIAC
    reserves the right to discontinue these waivers at its discretion or to conform with changes
    in the law.
 
 
5 . Related Party Transactions
 
    During the year ended December 31, 2012, management fees were paid indirectly to DSL,
    an affiliate of the Company, in its capacity as investment adviser to ING Investors Trust
    and ING Partners, Inc. The Trusts’ advisory agreement 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.,

A The Investment Income Ratio represents dividends received by the Division, excluding capital gains distributions, divided by the average net assets.
  The recognition of investment income is determined by the timing of the declaration of dividends by the underlying fund in which the Division invests.
B The Expense Ratio considers only the expenses borne directly by the Account, excluding expenses charged through the redemption of units, and is equal
  to the mortality and expense, administrative, and other charges, as defined in the Charges and Fees note. Certain items in this table are presented as a
  range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.
C Total Return is calculated as the change in unit value for each Contract presented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Certain items in this
  table are presented as a range of minimum and maximum values; however, such information is calculated independently for each column in the table.

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, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2012. 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, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company retrospectively changed its method of accounting for costs associated with acquiring or renewing insurance contracts. Additionally, as discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has elected to change its method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses related to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans.

1.    Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

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 in 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 U.S., Inc. ING U.S., Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Insurance International B.V., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Verzekeringen N.V. ("ING Insurance"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Insurance Topholding N.V., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. ("ING Group" or "ING"), the ultimate parent company. 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."

ING has announced the anticipated separation of its global banking and insurance businesses. While all options for effecting this separation remain open, ING has announced that the base case for this separation includes an initial public offering ("IPO") of ING U.S., Inc., which together with its subsidiaries, constitutes ING's U.S.-based retirement, investment management, and insurance operations. ING U.S., Inc. filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on November 9, 2012, which was amended on January 23, 2013 and March 19, 2013, in connection with the proposed IPO of its common stock.

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, 457 and 501, 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 Consolidated 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 wholly owned 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, including the presentation of changes in fair value of embedded derivatives within annuity products and the presentation of market value adjustment items in order to align with the presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements of ING U.S., Inc. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, reclassifications decreased Fee income by $(1.1) and $(6.3), (decreased) increased Other net realized capital gains (losses) by $(216.1) and $9.3, decreased Other revenue by $(6.0)and $(1.4), and (decreased)

increased Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners by $(223.2) and $1.6, in the Statements of Operations. Such reclassifications had no impact on Shareholder's equity or Net income (loss).

Accounting Changes

Employee Benefit Plans

As of January 1, 2012, the Company voluntarily changed its method of recognizing actuarial gains and losses related to its pension and post-retirement benefit plans. Previously, actuarial gains and losses were recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income and, to the extent outside a corridor, amortized into operating results over the average remaining service period of active plan participants or the average remaining life expectancy of inactive plan participants, as applicable. The Company has elected to immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the year in which the gains and losses occur. The new accounting method is preferable, as it eliminates the delay in recognition of actuarial gains and losses. These gains and losses are generally only measured annually as of December 31 and, accordingly, will generally be recorded during the fourth quarter.

The Company's change in accounting methodology has been applied retrospectively. The cumulative effect of this change as of January 1, 2010, is a decrease to Retained earnings, with a corresponding increase to Accumulated other comprehensive income, of $17.4, net of tax. In addition, the impact of this change on the Company's Net income was an increase (decrease) of $1.0, $(7.2) and $(3.8) for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The impact of this change as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, is an additional decrease to Retained earnings, with a corresponding increase to Accumulated other comprehensive income, of $27.4 and $28.4, net of tax.

Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

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 were adopted retrospectively by the Company on January 1, 2012. As a result of implementing ASU 2010-26, the Company recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle of $375.9, net of income taxes of $202.4, as a reduction to January 1, 2010 Retained earnings (deficit). In addition, the Company recognized a $13.9 increase to Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI").

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 Consolidated 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 the most significant in that they involve a higher degree of judgment, are subject to a significant degree of variability and/or contain significant accounting estimates:

Reserves for future policy benefits, valuation and amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs ("DAC") and 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 nonperformance risk, which is the risk that the Company will not fulfill its obligation. 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 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, industry-standard, vendor-provided software that models the value based on market observable inputs, and other internal modeling techniques based on projected cash flows.

Investments

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

Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities: 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. In addition, certain fixed maturities have embedded derivatives, which are reported with the host contract on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company has elected the FVO for certain of its fixed maturities to better match the measurement of assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Certain collateralized mortgage obligations ("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 in 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 prepayment-sensitive securities such as interest-only, principal-only strips, inverse floaters and credit-sensitive MBS and ABS securities, which represent beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that are not of high credit quality or that have been credit impaired, 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.

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, 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 a mortgage loan is determined to be impaired

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 
 
 

(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 original purchase yield 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 Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Property obtained from foreclosed mortgage loans is recorded in Other investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 continuously monitored on a loan-specific basis throughout the year. 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.

Mortgages are rated 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.

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 the loan is brought current.

The Company records an allowance for probable losses incurred on non-impaired loans on an aggregate basis, rather than specifically identified probable losses incurred by individual loan.

Loan - Dutch State Obligation: The reported value of the State of The Netherlands (the "Dutch State") loan obligation was based on the outstanding loan balance, plus any unamortized premium. This loan obligation was sold to a related party in November 2012.

Policy Loans: Policy loans are carried at an amount equal to the unpaid balance. 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 cash surrender 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 that are not consolidated, which consists primarily of 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, generally not to exceed three months. The Company's earnings from limited partnership interests accounted for under the equity method are 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. For portions of the program, the lending agent retains 5% of the collateral deposited by the borrower and transfers the remaining 95% to the Company. For other portions of the program, the lending agent retains 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.

Other-than-temporary Impairments
The Company periodically evaluates its available-for-sale 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.

When assessing the Company's intent to sell a security or if it is more likely than not it will be required to sell a security before recovery of its 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 other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI"). If the Company does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that 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.

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

The Company performs a discounted cash flow analysis comparing the current amortized cost of a security to the present value of future cash flows expected to be received including estimated defaults and prepayments. The discount rate is generally the effective interest rate of the fixed maturity prior to impairment.
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 includes, 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 subprime, Alt-A, non-agency RMBS, CMBS and ABS. These additional factors for structured securities include, but are not limited to: the quality of underlying collateral; expected prepayment speeds; loan-to-value ratios; debt service coverage ratios; 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, 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 amounts recognized for derivative instruments and amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instruments 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 Derivatives assets or liabilities 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 (a) a hedge of the exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of a recognized asset or liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk ("fair value hedge") or (b) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows that is attributable to interest rate risk 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 that 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:  For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge, 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: For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, 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 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 on 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 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 on 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+/Baal.

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 with the host contract on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Embedded derivatives within certain annuity products are included in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) 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 and included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.

The Company's property and equipment are depreciated using the following estimated useful lives.

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. Capitalized costs are incremental, direct costs of contract acquisition, as well as certain costs related directly to successful acquisition activities. Such costs consist principally of certain commissions, underwriting, sales and contract issuance and processing expenses directly related to the successful acquisition of new and renewal business. Indirect or unsuccessful acquisition costs, maintenance, product development and overhead expenses are charged to expense as incurred. 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
Generally, 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, estimated gross profits are updated with actual gross profits and the assumptions underlying future estimated gross profits 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").

 
C-16

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 DAC and VOBA balances and the present value of future deferrable acquisition costs.

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 practice assumes that intermediate-term appreciation in equity markets reverts to the long-term appreciation in equity markets ("reversion to the mean"). 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, a 14% cap and a five-year lookforward period. 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

Future Policy Benefits
The Company establishes and carries actuarially-determined reserves that are calculated to meet its future obligations. The principal assumptions used to establish liabilities for future policy benefits are based upon Company experience and periodically reviewed against industry standards. These assumptions include mortality, morbidity, policy lapse, contract renewal, payment of subsequent premiums or deposits by the contract owner, retirement, investment returns, benefit utilization, inflation and expenses. Changes in, or deviations from, the assumptions used can significantly affect the Company's reserve levels and related results of operations.

Reserves for payout contracts with life contingencies 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 or acquired, including a provision 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 3.0% to 8.0%.

Although assumptions are "locked-in" upon the issuance of payout contracts with life contingencies, 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 provision for adverse deviation.

Contract Owner Account Balances
Contract owner account balances relate to investment-type contracts.

Account balances for fixed annuities and payout contracts without life contingencies are equal to cumulative deposits, less charges and withdrawals, plus credited interest thereon. Credited interest rates vary by product and ranged up to 6.5% for the years 2012, 2011 and 2010. Account balances for group immediate annuities without life contingent payouts are equal to the discounted value of the payment at the implied break-even rate.

Guarantees
The Company records reserves for product guarantees, which can be either assets or liabilities, for 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 the long-term equity market return, lapse rate and mortality, are consistent with assumptions used in estimating gross profits for purposes of amortizing DAC. 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 and recorded in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in estimated fair value along with attributed fees collected are reported in Other net realized capital gains (losses) 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 projected under multiple capital market scenarios using observable risk-free rates and other best estimate assumptions.

The Stabilizer embedded derivative liabilities and the stand-alone derivative for MCG include a risk margin to capture uncertainties related to policyholder behavior assumptions. The margin represents additional compensation a market participant would require to assume these risks.

The Company incorporates nonperformance risk in the calculation of the fair value of these guarantees.

Separate Accounts

Separate account assets and liabilities generally represent funds maintained to meet specific investment objectives of contract owners or participants who bear the investment risk, subject, in limited cases, to minimum guaranteed rates. 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 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.

(A wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 
 
 

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 owner or participant; and
All investment performance, net of contract fees and assessments, is passed through to the contract owner.

The Company reports separate account assets that meet the above criteria at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the fair value of the underlying investments. Separate account liabilities equal separate account assets. 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.

Long-term Debt

Short-term and long-term debt are carried at an amount equal to the unpaid principal balance, net of any remaining unamortized discount or premium attributable to issuance. Direct and incremental costs to issue the debt are recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recognized as a component of Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the life of the debt, using the effective interest method of amortization.

Repurchase Agreements

The Company engages in dollar repurchase agreements with MBS ("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 MBS 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 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 an Other 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.

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 and repurchase agreements are financially responsible and that the counterparty risk is minimal.

Recognition of Insurance Revenue and Related Benefits

Premiums related to payouts contracts with life contingencies are recognized in Premiums in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when due from the contract owners. When premiums are due over a significantly shorter period than the period over which benefits are provided, any gross premium in excess of the net premium (i.e., the portion of the gross premium required to provide for all expected future benefits and expenses) is deferred and recognized into revenue in a constant relationship to insurance in force. Benefits are recorded in Interest credited and other benefits to contract owners in the Consolidated Statements of Operations when incurred.

Revenues from investment-type and payout contracts without life contingencies, and FIA consist primarily of fees assessed against the contract owner account balance for mortality and policy administration and are reported in Fee income. In addition, the Company earns investment income from the investment of contract deposits in the Company's general account portfolio which is reported in Net investment income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Fees assessed that represent compensation to the Company for services to be provided in future periods and certain other fees are deferred and amortized into revenue over the expected life of the related contracts in proportion to estimated gross profits, in a manner consistent with DAC for these contracts. Benefits and expenses for these products include claims in excess of related account balances, expenses of contract administration and interest credited to contract owner account balances.

Income Taxes

The Company 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'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.

Deferred tax assets represent the tax benefit of future deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. The Company evaluates and tests the recoverability of its deferred tax assets. 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 income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards;
Projected future reversals of existing temporary differences;
The length of time carryforwards can be utilized;
Any prudent and feasible tax planning strategies the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused;
The nature, frequency and severity of cumulative U.S. GAAP losses in recent years; and
Any tax rules that would impact the utilization of the deferred tax assets.

In establishing unrecognized tax benefits, the Company determines whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained under examination by the appropriate taxing authority. The Company also considers positions that have been reviewed and agreed to as part of an examination by the appropriate taxing authority. 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 of benefit 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 in most aspects of its insurance business to reduce its exposure to large losses from GMDBs. Such reinsurance permits recovery of a portion of losses from reinsurers, although it does not discharge the primary liability of the Company as direct insurer of the risks reinsured.

For each of its reinsurance agreements, the Company determines whether the agreement provides indemnification against loss or liability relating to insurance risk. The Company reviews all contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims.

For reinsurance of long-duration contracts that transfer significant insurance risk, the difference, if any, between the amounts paid and benefits received related to the underlying contracts is included in the expected net cost of reinsurance which is recorded as a component of the reinsurance asset or liability. Any difference between actual and expected net cost of reinsurance is recognized in the current period and included as a component of profits used to amortize DAC.

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 certain subsidiaries of Lincoln National Corporation ("Lincoln"). Effective March 1, 2007, the reinsurance agreements were assigned to a single subsidiary of Lincoln, and that subsidiary established a trust to secure its obligations to the Company under the reinsurance transaction. Of the Reinsurance recoverable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, $2.1 billion and $2.2 billion as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company utilizes a reinsurance agreement to manage reserve and capital requirements in connection with a portion of its deferred annuities business.  This agreement is accounted for under the deposit method.

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 reflected as assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance. Amounts currently recoverable under reinsurance agreements are included in Reinsurance recoverable and amounts currently payable are included in Other liabilities. Such assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer are recorded net on the Balance Sheets if a right of offset exists within the reinsurance agreement.

Premiums, Fee income and Policyholder benefits are reported net of reinsurance ceded. Amounts received from reinsurers for policy administration are reported in Other revenue.

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 and recorded in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets 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.

Adoption of New Pronouncements

Financial Instruments

Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements
In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("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 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2012. The Company determined that there was no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, as the guidance is consistent with that previously applied by the Company.

A Creditor's Determination of Whether a Restructuring is a Troubled Debt Restructuring
In April 2011, the 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 certain information about troubled debt restructuring, which was previously deferred by ASU 2011-01, "Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20" ("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 position, results of operations or cash flows upon adoption, as there were no troubled debt restructurings between January 1, 2011 and July 1, 2011. The disclosures required by ASU 2011-02 are included in the Investments note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 Investments note to these Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the "Reinsurance" section above, except for the disclosures about troubled debt restructurings included in ASU 2011-02, that were 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 Investments 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 by the Company.

Consolidation and Business Combinations

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 policy holders 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.

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 amends the consolidation guidance for VIEs, as follows:

Eliminates the quantitative-based assessment for consolidation of VIEs and, instead, requires a qualitative assessment of whether an entity has the power to direct the VIEs 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 to not be the primary beneficiary but in which it has a variable interest.

In addition, in February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-10, "Consolidations (ASC Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds" ("ASU 2010-10"), which defers to ASU 2009-17 for a 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 Company has determined that all of its managed funds, with the exception of certain CLOs, qualify for the deferral.

The provisions of ASU 2009-17 and ASU 2010-10 were adopted, prospectively, 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 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 Financial Statements.

Fair Value

Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
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 IFRS" ("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 were adopted, prospectively, by the Company on January 1, 2012. 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. The disclosures required by ASU 2011-04 are included in the Fair Value Measurements note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 that were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2011. 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. The disclosures required by ASU 2010-06 are included in the Fair Value Measurements note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 on 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 Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and 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.

In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, "Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"), which clarifies that the scope of ASU 2011-11 applies to derivatives accounted for in

accordance with ASU Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement.

The provisions of ASU 2013-01 and ASU 2011-11 are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company will adopt the provisions of these ASUs in the first quarter of 2013 which will include additional disclosure of the gross and net information instruments deemed in scope, including any related collateral received or posted.

Disclosures about Amounts Reclassified out of AOCI
In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Comprehensive Income (ASC Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2013-02"), which requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts.

The provisions of ASU 2013-02 are effective prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company will adopt the provisions of ASU 2013-02 in the first quarter of 2013 to provide additional information about amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component.

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities as securities may be restructured, called, or prepaid. Mortgage-backed securities ("MBS") and Other asset-backed securities ("ABS") are shown separately because they are not due at a single maturity date.

The investment portfolio is monitored to maintain a diversified portfolio on an ongoing basis. Credit risk is mitigated by monitoring concentrations by issuer, sector and geographic stratification and limiting exposure to any one issuer. 

As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government and government agencies with a carrying value in excess of 10% of the Company’s consolidated Shareholder’s equity. As of December 31, 2011, the Company did not have any investments in a single issuer, other than obligations of the U.S. government and government agencies and the Dutch State loan obligation, with a carrying value in excess of 10% of the Company’s consolidated Shareholder’s equity.

The Company invests in various categories of collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs"), including CMOs that are not agency-backed, that are subject to different degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and extension risks related to significant decreases and increases in interest rates resulting in the prepayment of principal from the underlying mortgages, either earlier or later than originally anticipated. As of December 31,

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries
(A wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc.)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 
 
 

2012 and 2011, approximately 41.8% and 41.1%, respectively, of the Company’s CMO holdings, such as interest-only or principal-only strips, were invested in those types of CMOs which are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs.

Repurchase Agreements

As described in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policy note, 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. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any securities pledged in dollar rolls and repurchase agreement transactions.

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. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any securities pledged under reverse repurchase agreements.

Securities Lending

As described in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policy note, the Company engages in securities lending whereby certain domestic securities from its portfolio are loaned to other institutions for short periods of time. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of loaned securities was $180.2 and $515.8, respectively and is included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, collateral retained by the lending agent and invested in liquid assets on the Company's behalf was $186.1 and $524.8, respectively, and is recorded in Short-term investments under securities loan agreement, including collateral delivered. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, liabilities to return collateral of $186.1 and $524.8, respectively, are included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs")

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 the equity tranches of the collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") of $1.3 and $0.9 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On June 4, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain general account private equity limited partnership investment interest holdings with a carrying value of $331.9 as of March 31, 2012 to a group of private equity funds that are managed by Pomona Management LLC, an affiliate of the Company. The transaction resulted in a net pretax loss of $38.7 in the second quarter of 2012 reported in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The transaction closed in two tranches with the first tranche closed on June 29, 2012 and the second tranche closed on October 29, 2012. Consideration received included $23.0 of promissory notes due in two equal installments at December 31, 2013 and 2014. In connection with these promissory notes, ING U.S., Inc. unconditionally guarantees payment of the notes in the event of any default of payments due. No additional loss was incurred on the second tranche since the fair value of the alternative investments was reduced to the agreed-upon sales price as of June 30, 2012.

Securitizations

The Company invests in various tranches of securitization entities, including Residential Mortgage-backed Securities ("RMBS"), Commercial Mortgage-backed Securities ("CMBS") and ABS. 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 are thinly capitalized by design and considered VIEs under ASC 810-10-25 as amended by ASU 2009-17. The Company's involvement with these entities is limited

ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

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 does not consolidate any of the RMBS, CMBS and ABS entities in which it holds investments. These investments are accounted for as investments available-for-sale as described in the Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies note to these Consolidated Financial Statements.

All investments with fair values less than amortized cost are included in the Company's other-than-temporary impairments analysis and impairments were recognized as disclosed in the "Evaluating Securities for Other-Than-Temporary Impairments" section below. The Company evaluates non-agency RMBS and ABS for other-than-temporary impairments each quarter based on actual and projected cash flows after considering the quality and updated loan-to-value ratios of underlying collateral, forecasted loss severity, the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security and amount of any credit enhancements. The Company's assessment of current levels of cash flows compared to estimated cash flows at the time the securities were acquired indicates the amount and the pace of projected cash flows from the underlying collateral has generally been lower and slower, respectively. However, since cash flows are typically projected at a trust level, the impairment review incorporates the security's position within the trust structure as well as credit enhancement remaining in the trust to determine whether an impairment is warranted. Therefore,

while lower and slower cash flows will impact the trust, the effect on a particular security within the trust will be dependent upon the trust structure. Where the assessment continues to project full recovery of principal and interest on schedule, the Company has not recorded an impairment. Unrealized losses on below investment grade securities are principally related to RMBS (primarily Alt-A RMBS) and ABS (primarily subprime RMBS) largely due to economic and market uncertainties including concerns over unemployment levels, lower interest rate environment on floating rate securities requiring higher risk premiums since purchase and valuations of residential real estate supporting non-agency RMBS. Based on this analysis, the Company 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.

Fixed Maturity Securities Credit Quality - Ratings

The Securities Valuation Office ("SVO") of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("NAIC") evaluates the fixed maturity securities 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 if no rating is available as permitted by the NAIC. These designations are generally similar to the credit quality designations of the NAIC acceptable rating organization ("ARO") for marketable fixed maturities, 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. NAIC designations "3" through "6" include fixed maturity securities generally considered below investment grade.

The NAIC designations for structured securities, including subprime and Alt-A RMBS, are based upon a comparison of the bond's amortized cost to the NAIC's loss expectation for each security. Securities where modeling results in no expected loss in all scenarios are considered to have the highest designation of NAIC 1. A large percentage of the Company's RMBS securities carry a NAIC 1 designation while the ARO rating indicates below investment grade. This is primarily due to the credit and intent impairments recorded by the Company which reduced the amortized cost on these securities to a level resulting in no expected loss in all scenarios, which corresponds to a NAIC 1 designation. The revised methodology reduces regulatory reliance on rating agencies and allows for greater regulatory input into the assumptions used to estimate expected losses from such structured securities. In the tables below, the Company presents the rating of structured securities based on ratings from the NAIC rating methodologies described above (which may not correspond to rating agency designations). All NAIC designations (e.g., NAIC 1-6) are based on the revised NAIC methodologies.

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 certain of the Company's fixed maturity securities holdings, 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 Investors Service ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's ("S&P") and Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch"). If no rating is available from a rating agency, then an internally developed rating is used.

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 similar to that used by the rating agencies. Ratings are derived from three ARO ratings and are applied as follows based on the number of agency ratings 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 ARO rating is applied; and
• when ratings are unavailable then an internal rating is applied.

Subprime and Alt-A Mortgage Exposure

The Company does not originate or purchase subprime or Alt-A whole-loan mortgages. Subprime lending is the origination of loans to customers with weaker credit profiles. The Company defines Alt-A Loans to include the following: residential mortgage

loans to customers who have strong credit profiles but lack some elements, such as documentation to substantiate income; residential mortgage loans to borrowers that would otherwise be classified as prime but whose loan structure provides repayment options to the borrower that increase the risk of default; and any securities backed by residential mortgage collateral not clearly identifiable as prime or subprime.

The Company's exposure to subprime mortgage backed securities is primarily in the form of ABS structures collateralized by subprime residential mortgages and the majority of these holdings are included in Other ABS in the "Fixed Maturities and Equity Securities" section above. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value and gross unrealized losses related to the Company's exposure to subprime mortgage backed securities was $61.2 and $6.2, respectively, representing 0.3% of total fixed maturities, including securities pledged, based on fair value. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value and gross unrealized losses related to the Company's exposure to subprime mortgage backed securities were $59.1 and $21.7, respectively, representing 0.3% of total fixed maturities, including securities pledged, based on fair value.

Troubled Debt Restructuring

The Company invests in high quality, well performing portfolios of commercial mortgage loans and private placements. Under certain circumstances, modifications are granted to these contracts. 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 reducing the face amount or maturity amount of the debt as originally stated, reducing the contractual interest rate, extending the maturity date at an interest rate lower than current market interest rates and/or reducing 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. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any troubled debt restructurings. 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.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company did not have any commercial mortgage loans or private placements modified in a troubled debt restructuring with a subsequent payment default.

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.

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.

Loan-to-value ("LTV") and debt service coverage ("DSC") ratios are measures commonly used to assess the risk and quality of mortgage loans. The LTV ratio, calculated at time of origination, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of the loan relative to the value of the underlying property. A LTV ratio in excess of 100% indicates the unpaid loan amount exceeds the underlying collateral. The DSC ratio, based upon the most recently received financial statements, is expressed as a percentage of the amount of a property’s net income to its debt service payments. A DSC ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that property’s operations do not generate sufficient income to cover debt payments. These ratios are utilized as part of the review process described above.

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 the credit-related and intent-related other-than-temporary impairment of investments. Realized investment gains and losses are also primarily generated from changes in fair value of embedded derivatives within product guarantees and fixed maturities, changes in fair value of fixed maturities recorded at FVO and changes in fair value including accruals on derivative instruments, except for effective cash flow hedges. The cost of the investments on disposal is generally determined based on first-in-first-out ("FIFO") methodology.

3.    Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company enters into the following types of derivatives:

Interest rate caps: The Company uses interest rate cap contracts to hedge the interest rate exposure arising from duration mismatches between assets and liabilities. Interest rate caps are also used to hedge interest rate exposure if rates rise above a specified level. Such increases in rates will require the Company to incur additional expenses. The future payout from the interest rate caps fund this increased exposure. The Company pays an upfront premium to purchase these caps. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Interest rate swaps: Interest rate swaps are used by the Company primarily to reduce market risks from changes in interest rates and to alter interest rate exposure arising from mismatches between assets and/or liabilities. Interest rate swaps are also used to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the value of assets it owns or in an anticipation of acquiring them. Using interest rate swaps, the Company agrees with another party to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest payments, calculated by reference to an agreed upon notional principal amount. These transactions are entered into pursuant to master agreements that provide for a single net payment to be made to/from the counterparty at each due date. The Company utilizes these contracts in qualifying hedging relationships as well as non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Foreign exchange swaps: The Company uses foreign exchange or currency swaps to reduce the risk of change in the value, yield or cash flows associated with certain foreign denominated invested assets. Foreign exchange swaps represent contracts that require the exchange of foreign currency cash flows against U.S. dollar cash flows at regular periods, typically quarterly or semi-annually. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Credit default swaps: Credit default swaps are used to reduce 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. In the event of a default on the underlying credit exposure, the Company will either receive a payment (purchased credit protection) or will be required to make a payment (sold credit protection) equal to the par minus recovery value of the swap contract. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 
 
 

Forwards: The Company uses forward contracts to hedge certain invested assets against movement in interest rates, particularly mortgage rates. The Company uses To Be Announced securities as an economic hedge against rate movements. The Company utilizes forward contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

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 Company also uses futures contracts as a hedge against an increase in certain equity indices. Such increases may result in increased payments to the holders of the fixed index annuity contracts. The Company enters into exchange traded futures with regulated futures commissions that are members of the exchange. The Company also posts initial and variation margin with the exchange on a daily basis. The Company utilizes exchange-traded futures in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Swaptions: A swaption is an option to enter into a swap with a forward starting effective date. The Company uses swaptions to hedge the interest rate exposure associated with the minimum crediting rate and book value guarantees embedded in the retirement products that the Company offers. Increases in interest rates will generate losses on assets that are backing such liabilities. In certain instances, the Company locks in the economic impact of existing purchased swaptions by entering into offsetting written swaptions. Swaptions are also used to hedge against an increase in the interest rate benchmarked crediting strategies within Fixed indexed annuities ("FIA") contracts. Such increases may result in increased payments to contract holders of FIA contracts and the interest rate swaptions offset this increased exposure. The Company pays a premium when it purchases the swaption. The Company utilizes these contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

Managed custody guarantees ("MCG"): The Company issues 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 invests in certain fixed maturity instruments and has issued certain 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. Embedded derivatives within fixed maturities are reported with the host contract on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in fair value are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Embedded derivatives within annuity products are included in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

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 agreements, 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 value minus recovery value of the swap contract. As of December 31, 2012, the fair value of credit default swaps of $3.6 were included in Derivatives assets and there were no credit default swaps included in Derivatives liabilities, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2011, the fair value of credit default swaps of $2.6 and $21.2 were included in Derivatives assets and Derivatives liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company on the sale of credit default swaps was $329.0 and $518.3, respectively.


4.    Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurement

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 financial instruments 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.

Valuation of Financial Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at estimated fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 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 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.

The following valuation methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the 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 and are classified as Level 2 assets. These services incorporate a variety of market observable information in their valuation techniques, including benchmark yields, broker-dealer quotes, credit quality, issuer spreads, bids, offers and other reference data. This category includes U.S. and foreign corporate bonds, ABS, U.S. agency and government guaranteed securities, CMBS and RMBS, including certain CMO assets.

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 through an internal valuation committee price variance review, comparisons to internal pricing models, back testing to recent trades, or monitoring of trading volumes. As of December 31, 2012, $175.5 and $16.7 billion of a total fair value of $21.5 billion in fixed maturities, including securities pledged, 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. As of December 31, 2011, $194.9 and $14.8 billion of a total of $19.2 billion in fixed maturities, including securities pledged, 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. 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 determined primarily using a matrix-based pricing model and are generally 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.

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 2 or Level 3 assets.

Derivatives: Derivatives are carried at fair value, 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, S&P 500 Index prices, London Interbank Offered Rates ("LIBOR") and Overnight Index Swap ("OIS") rates. In June 2012, the Company began using OIS rather than LIBOR for valuations of collateralized interest rate derivatives, which are obtained from third-party sources. For those derivatives that are unable to be valued by the accounting system, the Company typically utilizes 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 nonperformance 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 and options that are priced using models that primarily use market observable inputs, but contain inputs that are not observable to market participants, which have been classified as Level 3.  However, all other derivative instruments are valued based on market observable inputs and are classified as Level 2.

The Company has entered into a number of options as hedges on its FIA liabilities. The maximum exposure is the current value of the option. The payoff of these contracts depends on market conditions during the lifetime of the option. The fair value measurement of options is highly sensitive to implied equity and interest rate volatility and the market reflects a considerable variance in broker quotes. The Company uses a third-party vendor to determine the market value of these options.

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

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

Product guarantees: The Company records an embedded derivative liability for its FIA contracts for interest payments to contract holders above the minimum guaranteed interest rate. The guarantee is treated as an embedded derivative and is required to be accounted for separately from the host contract. The fair value of the obligation is calculated based on actuarial and capital market assumptions related to the projected cash flows, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by market implied assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company records reserves for Stabilizer and MCG contracts containing guaranteed credited rates in accordance with U.S. GAAP for derivative instruments and hedging activities. 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 estimated fair value 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 relevant actuarial and capital market assumptions, including benefits and related contract charges, over the anticipated life of the related contracts. The cash flow estimates are produced by using stochastic techniques under a variety of risk neutral scenarios and other market implied assumptions. These derivatives are classified as Level 3 liabilities.

The discount rate used to determine the fair value of the embedded derivatives and stand-alone derivative associated with the Company's product guarantees includes an adjustment to reflect the risk that these obligations will not be fulfilled ("nonperformance risk"). Through June 30, 2012, the Company's nonperformance risk adjustment was based on the credit default swap spreads of ING Insurance, the Company's indirect parent company, with similar term to maturity and priority of payment. The ING Insurance credit default spread was applied to the risk-free swap curve in the Company's valuation models for these product guarantees. As a result of the availability of ING U.S., Inc.'s market observable data following the issuance of its long-term debt on July 13, 2012, the Company changed its estimate of nonperformance risk to incorporate a blend of observable, similarly rated peer company

credit default swap spreads, adjusted to reflect the Company's own credit quality as well as an adjustment to reflect the priority of policyholder claims.

The Company's valuation actuaries are responsible for the policies and procedures for valuing the embedded derivatives, reflecting the capital markets and actuarial valuation inputs and nonperformance risk in the estimate of the fair value of the embedded derivatives. The actuarial and capital market assumptions for each liability are approved by each product's Chief Risk Officer ("CRO"), including an independent annual review by the U.S. CRO. Models used to value the embedded derivatives must comply with the Company's governance policies.

Quarterly, an attribution analysis is performed to quantify changes in fair value measurements and a sensitivity analysis is used to analyze the changes. The changes in fair value measurements are also compared to corresponding movements in the hedge target to assess the validity of the attributions. The results of the attribution analysis are reviewed by the valuation actuaries, responsible CFOs, Controllers, CROs and/or others as nominated by management.

Transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2

There were no securities transferred between Level 1 and Level 2 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.  The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period.

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 Topic 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 values of financial assets and liabilities classified as Level 3, additional information is presented below.

The transfers in and out of Level 3 for fixed maturities, equity securities and separate accounts for the year ended December 31, 2012 were 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. 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 transfers out of Level 3 for the year ended December 31, 2011 in fixed maturities, including securities pledged, were primarily due to the Company's determination that the market for subprime RMBS securities had become active in the first quarter 2011 and to an increased utilization of vendor valuations for certain CMO assets, as opposed to the previous use of broker quotes in the second quarter of 2011. While the valuation methodology for subprime RMBS securities 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.

Significant Unobservable Inputs

Quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the Company's Level 3 fair value measurements of its annuity product guarantees is presented in the following sections and table.

The Company's Level 3 fair value measurements of its fixed maturities, equity securities available-for-sale and equity and credit derivative contracts are primarily based on broker quotes for which the quantitative detail of the unobservable inputs is neither provided nor reasonably corroborated, thus negating the ability to perform a sensitivity analysis. The Company performs a review of broker quotes by performing a monthly price variance comparison and back tests broker quotes to recent trade prices.

Significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of FIAs include nonperformance risk and lapses. Such inputs are monitored quarterly.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Stabilizer embedded derivatives and MCG derivative are interest rate implied volatility, nonperformance risk, lapses and policyholder deposits. Such inputs are monitored quarterly.

Following is a description of selected inputs:

Interest Rate Volatility: A term-structure model is used to approximate implied volatility for the swap rates for the Stabilizer and MCG fair value measurements. Where no implied volatility is readily available in the market, an alternative approach is based on historical volatility.

Nonperformance Risk: For the estimate of the fair value of embedded derivatives associated with the Company's product guarantees, the Company uses a blend of observable, similarly rated peer company credit default swap spreads, adjusted to reflect the credit quality of the Company as well as adjustment to reflect the priority of policyholder claims.

Actuarial Assumptions: Management regularly reviews actuarial assumptions, which are based on the Company's experience and periodically reviewed against industry standards. Industry standards and the Company experience may be limited on certain products.

The following table presents the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements as of December 31, 2012:

(1) Represents the range of reasonable assumptions that management has used in its fair value calculations.
(2) Lapse rates tend to be lower during the contractual surrender charge period and higher after the surrender charge period ends; the highest lapse rates occur in the year immediately after the end of the surrender charge period. We make dynamic adjustments to lower the lapse rates for contracts that are more "in the money."
(3) Stabilizer contracts with recordkeeping agreements have different range of lapse and policyholder deposit assumptions from Stabilizer (Investment only) and MCG contracts as shown below:

Generally, the following will cause an increase (decrease) in the FIA embedded derivative fair value liability:

A decrease (increase) in nonperformance risk
A decrease (increase) in lapses

Generally, the following will cause an increase (decrease) in the MCG derivative and Stabilizer embedded derivative fair value liabilities:

An increase (decrease) in interest rate volatility
A decrease (increase) in nonperformance risk
A decrease (increase) in lapses
A decrease (increase) in policyholder deposits

The Company notes the following interrelationships:

Generally, an increase (decrease) in interest rate volatility will increase (decrease) lapses of Stabilizer and MCG contracts due to dynamic participant behavior.

(1) Certain amounts included in Funding agreements without fixed maturities and deferred annuities are also reflected within the Annuity product guarantees section of the table above.

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 at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, 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:

Mortgage loans on real estate: The fair values for mortgage loans on real estate are estimated on a monthly basis 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. Mortgage loans on real estate are classified as Level 3.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollar amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)

 
 
 

Loan - Dutch State obligation: The fair value of the Dutch State loan obligation is estimated utilizing cash flows net of certain contract fees discounted using The Netherlands Strip Yield Curve and is classified as Level 2.

Policy loans: The fair value of policy loans is equal to the carrying value of the loans.  Policy loans are collateralized by the cash surrender value of the associated insurance contracts and are classified as Level 2.

Limited partnerships/corporations: The fair value for these investments, primarily private equity fund of funds and hedge funds, is based on actual or estimated Net Asset Value ("NAV") information as provided by the investee and are classified as Level 3.

Notes receivable from affiliates: Estimated fair value of the Company’s notes receivable from affiliates is determined primarily using a matrix-based pricing. The model considers the current level of risk-free interest rates, credit quality of the issuer and cash flow characteristics of the security model and is classified as Level 2.

Investment contract liabilities:

Funding agreements without a fixed maturity and deferred annuities: Fair value is estimated as the mean present value of stochastically modeled cash flows associated with the contract liabilities taking into account assumptions about contract holder behavior. The stochastic valuation scenario set is consistent with current market parameters and discount is taken using stochastically evolving risk-free rates in the scenarios plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included. These liabilities are classified as Level 3.

Supplementary contracts and immediate annuities: Fair value is estimated as the mean present value of the single deterministically modeled cash flows associated with the contract liabilities discounted using stochastically evolving short risk-free rates in the scenarios plus an adjustment for nonperformance risk. The valuation is consistent with current market parameters. Margins for non-financial risks associated with the contract liabilities are also included. These liabilities are classified as Level 3.

Long-term debt: Estimated fair value of the Company’s notes to affiliates is based upon discounted future cash flows using a discount rate approximating the current market rate, incorporating nonperformance risk and is classified as Level 2.

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.

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, 2012, the account value for the separate account contracts with guaranteed minimum benefits was $35.2 billion. The additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees was $108.1. As of December 31, 2011, the account value for the separate account contracts with guaranteed minimum benefits was $32.1 billion. The additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees was $226.4.

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, 2012 and 2011, was $9.3 billion and $7.9 billion, respectively.


7.    Reinsurance

At December 31, 2012, 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.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company had one outstanding cession and a reinsurance treaty with its affiliate, Security Life of Denver International Limited ("SLDI"), to manage the reserve and capital requirements in connection with a portion of its deferred annuities business. The agreement is accounted for under the deposit method of accounting.

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 $10.1 and $10.3 were maintained for this contract as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Reinsurance ceded in force for life mortality risks were $15.1 billion and $16.2 billion at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, net receivables were comprised of the following:

8.    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, 2012, ILIAC did not receive any capital contributions from its Parent. 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 its Parent.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, following receipt of required approval from the State of Connecticut Insurance Department (the "Department"), ILIAC paid a cash distribution of $340.0 to its Parent. During the year ended December 31, 2011, ILIAC did not pay a dividend or distribution 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. On October 15, 2012, December 22, 2011 and October 30, 2010, IFA paid a $90.0, $65.0 and $60.0 dividend, respectively, to ILIAC, its parent, which was eliminated in consolidation. On December 21, 2012, DSL paid a $15.0 dividend to ILIAC, its parent, which was eliminated in consolidation.

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 $261.6, $194.4 and $66.0, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Statutory capital and surplus was $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The Company is subject to minimum risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements established by the Department. The formulas for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk. Regulatory compliance is determined by a ratio of total adjusted capital ("TAC"), as defined by the NAIC, to authorized control level RBC, as defined by the NAIC. The Company exceeded the minimum RBC requirements that would require any regulatory or corrective action for all periods presented herein.

The Company is required to prepare statutory financial statements in accordance with statutory accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the Department. Such statutory accounting practices primarily differ from U.S. GAAP by charging policy acquisition costs to expense as incurred, establishing future policy benefit liabilities and contract owner account balances using different actuarial assumptions as well as valuing investments and certain assets and accounting for deferred taxes on a different basis. Certain assets that are not admitted under statutory accounting principles are charged directly to surplus. Depending on the regulations of the Department, the entire amount or a portion of an insurance company's asset balance can be non-admitted based on the specific rules regarding admissibility.

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

Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered unlikely that deferred tax assets will be realized. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had a tax valuation allowance of $62.8 that was allocated to Net income (loss) and $(51.7) that was allocated to Other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had a full valuation allowance of $11.1 related to foreign tax credits, the benefit of which is uncertain.

Tax Sharing Agreement

The Company had a payable to ING U.S., Inc. of $32.1 and $1.3 for federal income taxes as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 U.S., Inc. 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 U.S., Inc.'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 U.S., Inc. states that for each taxable year prior to January 1, 2013 during which the Company is included in a consolidated federal income tax return with ING U.S., Inc., ING U.S., Inc. 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.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Company entered into a new tax sharing agreement with ING U.S., Inc. which provides that, for 2013 and subsequent years, ING U.S., Inc. will pay the Company for the tax benefits of ordinary and capital losses only in the event that the consolidated tax group actually uses the tax benefits of losses generated.

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 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, 2012 and 2011.

Tax Regulatory Matters

In March 2012, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") completed its examination of the Company's return for tax year 2010. The 2010 audit settlement did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

The Company is currently under audit by the IRS for tax years 2011 through 2012 and it is expected that the examination of tax year 2011 will be finalized within the next twelve months. The Company and the IRS have agreed to participate in the Compliance Assurance Program ("CAP") for tax years 2011, 2012 and 2013.


11.    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. 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.

Beginning January 1, 2012, the Retirement Plan implemented 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 $19.1, $24.6 and $27.2 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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 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 $9.7, $9.8 and $10.7, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Non-Qualified Retirement Plans

Effective 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 January 1, 2012, 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 frozen 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, 2012 and 2011 benefit obligation for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:

 
2012
 
2011
Discount rate
4.05
%
 
4.75
%
Rate of compensation increase
4.00
%
 
4.00
%
 
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 4.05% was the appropriate discount rate as of December 31, 2012, to calculate the Company’s accrued benefit liability.
 
The weighted-average assumptions used in calculating the net pension cost were as follows:

 
2012
 
2011
 
2010
Discount rate
4.75
%
 
5.50
%
 
6.00
%
Rate of increase in compensation levels
4.00
%
 
4.00
%
 
3.00
%
 
Since the benefit plans of the Company are unfunded, an assumption for return on plan assets is not required.

Stock Option and Share Plans
 
Long-term Equity Ownership Plan: Starting in 2004, ING Group began issuing options under the Long-term Equity Ownership Plan ("leo"). Under leo, participants are awarded both stock options and performance shares. Leo options are nonqualified options on ING Group shares in the form of American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"). The leo options give the recipient the right to purchase an ING Group share in the form of ADRs at a price equal to the fair market value of one ING Group share on the date of grant. The options have a ten-year term and vest three years from the grant date subject to the participant meeting the three-year service vesting condition. 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.

Leo performance shares are a contingent grant of ING Group stock and generally vest three years from the grant date, and can range from 0-200% of target based on ING's Total Shareholder Return ("TSR") relative to a peer group of global financial services companies 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 the leo plan document).

Long-term Sustainable Performance Plan performance shares ("LSPP") were granted on March 30, 2011 and 2012 with a three year graded vesting schedule. Participants were awarded a conditional right to receive a number of ING Group shares in the form of ADR's in the future. Awards under the LSPP vest, and shares are delivered 1/3 each of the first, second and third anniversary of the award date, provided the participants are still employed by ING. The LSPP performance shares are subject to a performance measure. The number of ADR's that would be ultimately granted at the end of each performance period is dependent upon a measure of the Company's performance over that period.

At the end of the specified performance period, the extent to which ING's performance targets have been met will determine the actual number of leo and LSPP performance shares that the participants will receive on the vesting date.

The Company was allocated from ING compensation expense for the leo options, leo performance shares and LSPP of $5.0, $5.1 and $3.4 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
The Company recognized tax benefits of $1.5, $0.8 and $0.7 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

In addition, the Company, in conjunction with ING North America, sponsors the following benefit plans:
 
The ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents, which allows participants to defer a specified percentage of eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company match equals 60% of a participant’s pre-tax deferral contribution, with a maximum of 6% of the participant’s eligible pay. A request for a determination letter on the qualified status of the ING 401(k) Plan for ILIAC Agents was filed with the IRS on January 1, 2008. 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.

The benefit charges allocated to the Company related to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, were $11.9, $9.9 and $11.9, respectively.


12.    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. In November 2012, ILIAC provided a letter of credit to the DECD in the amount of $10.6 security for its repayment obligations with respect to the loan.

At both December 31, 2012 and 2011, the amount of the loan outstanding was $4.9, which was reflected in Long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

13.    Commitments and Contingencies

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, 2012, 2011 and 2010, rent expense for leases was $4.9, $5.0 and $4.0, 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, 2012 and 2011, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair value of $314.9 and $536.4, respectively.

Collateral

Under the terms of the Company’s Over-The-Counter Derivative International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 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, 2012 and 2011, the Company held $167.0 and $110.0 of net cash collateral, respectively, related to derivative contracts, which was included in Payables under securities loan agreement, including collateral held, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company delivered collateral of $39.5 and $77.9, respectively, in fixed maturities pledged under derivatives contracts, which was included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Restricted Assets

The Company is required to maintain assets on deposit with various regulatory authorities to support its insurance operations. The Company may also post collateral in connection with certain securities lending, repurchase agreements, funding agreement, LOC and derivative transactions as described further in this note. The components of the fair value of the restricted assets were as follows as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Litigation and Regulatory Matters

The Company is a defendant in a number of litigation matters arising from the conduct of its business, both in the ordinary course and otherwise. In some of these matters, claimants seek to recover very large or indeterminate amounts, including compensatory, punitive, treble and exemplary damages. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages and other relief. Claimants are not always required to specify the monetary damages they seek or they may be required only to state an amount sufficient to meet a court's jurisdictional requirements. Moreover, some jurisdictions allow claimants to allege monetary damages that far exceed any reasonable possible verdict. The variability in pleading requirement and past experience demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim oftentimes bears

little relevance to the merits or potential value of a claim. Litigation against the Company includes a variety of claims including negligence, breach of contract, fraud, violation of regulation or statute, breach of fiduciary duty, negligent misrepresentation, failure to supervise, elder abuse and other torts. Due to the uncertainties of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and a determination of potential losses requires significant management judgment.

As with other financial services companies, the Company periodically receives informal and formal requests for information from various state and federal governmental agencies and self-regulatory organizations in connection with inquiries and investigations of the products and practices of the Company or the financial services industry. It is the practice of the Company to cooperate fully in these matters. Regulatory investigations, exams, inquiries and audits could result in regulatory action against the Company. The potential outcome of such action is difficult to predict but could subject the Company to adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, settlement payments, additional payments to beneficiaries, additional escheatment of funds deemed abandoned under state laws and disgorgement of retained gains. They may also result in fines and penalties and changes to the Company's procedures for the identification and escheatment of abandoned property or the correction of processing errors and other financial liability.

It is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome or to provide reasonably possible losses or ranges of losses for all pending regulatory matters and litigation. While it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain cases could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position, based on information currently known, management believes that the outcome of pending litigation and regulatory matters is not likely to have such an effect. However, given the large and indeterminate amounts sought and the inherent unpredictability of such matters, it is possible that an adverse outcome in certain of the Company's litigation or regulatory matters could, from time to time, have a material adverse effect upon the Company's results of operations or cash flows in a particular quarterly or annual period.

For some matters, the Company is able to estimate a possible range of loss. For such matters in which a loss is probable, an accrual has been made. For matters where the Company, however, believes a loss is reasonably possible, but not probable, no accrual is required to be made. Accordingly, the Company's estimate reflects both types of matters. For matters for which an accrual has been made, but there remains a reasonably possible range of loss in excess of the amounts accrued, the estimate reflects the reasonably possible range of loss in excess of the accrued amounts. For other matters included within this estimation, for which a reasonably possible but not probable range of loss exists, the estimate reflects the reasonably possible and unaccrued loss or range of loss. As of December 31, 2012, the Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of any amounts accrued for these matters as of such date, to be up to approximately $30.0.

For other matters, the Company is currently not able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. It is often unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss until developments in such matters have provided sufficient information to support an assessment of the range of possible loss, such as quantification of a damage demand from plaintiffs, discovery from plaintiffs and other parties, investigation of factual allegations, rulings by a court on motions or appeals, analysis by experts and the progress of settlement discussions. On a quarterly and annual basis, the Company reviews relevant information with respect to litigation and regulatory contingencies and updates the Company's accruals, disclosures and reasonably possible losses or ranges of loss based on such reviews.

Litigation against the Company includes a case styled Healthcare Strategies, Inc., Plan Administrator of the Healthcare Strategies Inc. 401(k) Plan v. ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company (U.S.D.C. D. CT, filed February 22, 2011), which has been filed by the administrator of a 401(k) ERISA Plan who claims that the Company has entered into revenue sharing agreements with mutual funds and others in violation of the prohibited transaction rules of the Employee Retirement Income Act ("ERISA"). Among other things, Claimant seeks declaratory relief and the disgorgement of all revenue sharing payments and profits earned in connection with such payments, as well as attorney's fees. On January 26, 2012, Plaintiff filed a motion requesting to be allowed to represent a class of similarly situated ERISA Plans, which the court granted on September 26, 2012. The Company denies Claimant's allegations and is vigorously defending this litigation.

The regulatory examination of the Company's policy for addressing and correcting an error that is made when processing the trade instructions of an ERISA plan or one of its participants has been resolved. Under that policy, the Company absorbs any loss and retains any gain that results from such an error correction. The resolution will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

Financing Agreements

Reciprocal Loan Agreement

The Company maintains a reciprocal loan agreement with ING U.S., Inc., 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 based upon its renewal on April 1, 2011 expires on April 1, 2016, either party can borrow from the other up to 3% 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 U.S., Inc.'s cost of funds for the interest period, plus 0.15%.  Interest on any ING U.S., Inc. 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, 2012, 2011 and 2010. The Company earned interest income of $0.5, $1.3 and $0.9 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, 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, 2012, the Company did not have any outstanding receivable.

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. The 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, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Alt-A Back-Up Facility

On January 26, 2009, ING, for itself and on behalf of certain subsidiaries, including the Company, reached an agreement with the Dutch State on an Illiquid Asset Back Up Facility (the “Alt-A Back-up Facility”) regarding Alt-A RMBS owned by certain subsidiaries of ING U.S., Inc., including the Company. Pursuant to this transaction, the Company transferred all risks and rewards on 80% of a $1.1 billion par Alt-A RMBS portfolio to ING Support Holding B.V. (“ING Support Holding”), a wholly owned subsidiary of ING Group by means of the granting of a participation interest to ING Support Holding. ING and ING Support Holding entered into a back-to-back arrangement with the Dutch State on this 80%. As a result of this first transaction, the Company retained 20% of the exposure for any results on the $1.1 billion Alt-A RMBS portfolio.
The purchase price for the participation payable by the Dutch State was set at 90% of the par value of the 80% interest in the securities as of that date. This purchase price was payable in installments, was recognized as a loan granted to the Dutch State with a value of $794.4, and was recorded as Loan-Dutch State Obligation on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (the “Dutch State Obligation”). Under the transaction, other fees were payable by both the Company and the Dutch State. The Company incurred net fees of $1.4, $1.9 and $2.3 in the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
The Company executed a second transaction effective January 26, 2009, in which an additional $5.0 par Alt-A RMBS portfolio owned by the Company were sold to ING Direct Bancorp. ING Direct Bancorp paid cash in the amount of $3.6 for 80% of the Company's additional $5.0 par Alt-A RMBS and included those purchased securities as part of its Alt-A RMBS portfolio sale to the Dutch State. ING Direct Bancorp paid cash in the amount of $0.6 and retained the remaining 20% of this Alt-A RMBS portfolio.
On November 13, 2012, ING, all participating ING U.S., Inc. subsidiaries, including the Company, ING Support Holding and ING Bank N.V. (“ING Bank”) entered into restructuring arrangements with the Dutch State, which closed the following day (the “Termination Agreement”). Pursuant to the restructuring transaction, the Company sold the Dutch State Obligation to ING Support Holding at fair value and transferred legal title to 80% of the securities subject to the Alt-A Back-up Facility to ING Bank. The restructuring resulted in an immaterial pre-tax loss. Following the restructuring transaction, the Company continues to own 20% of the Alt-A RMBS from the first transaction. The Company has the right to sell these securities, subject to a right of first refusal granted to ING Bank.
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.

Statement on Form N-4 for Variable Annuity Account I of ING Life Insurance and Annuity
Company (File No. 333-130822), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on

Item 27. Number of Contract Owners  
 
As of February 28, 2013, there were 38,031 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

Item 31. Management Services
 
Not applicable
 
Item 32. Undertakings
 
Registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(a) to file a post-effective amendment to this registration statement on Form N-4 as
frequently as is necessary to ensure that the audited financial statements in the registration
statement are never more than sixteen months old for as long as payments under the variable
annuity contracts may be accepted;
 
(b) to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by a prospectus
which is part of this registration statement on Form N-4, a space that an applicant can check to
request a Statement of Additional Information; and
 
(c) to deliver any Statement of Additional Information and any financial statements
required to be made available under this Form N-4 promptly upon written or oral request.
 
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.
