Example

This example is 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 transaction charges, administrative charges, Separate Account annual expenses and Fund
fees and expenses.

The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the contract for the time periods indicated. The example also assumes that your
investment has a 5% return each year and assumes the maximum Fund fees and expenses. Although your actual costs may be
higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

If you Surrender or annuitize your Contract at the end of the applicable time period   
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$496  $1,496  $2,497  $4,998 
 
If you do not Surrender your Contract       
1 year  3 years  5 years  10 years 
$496  $1,496  $2,497  $4,998

management. In 2009 ING announced the anticipated separation of its global banking and insurance businesses, including the
divestiture of Voya, which together with its subsidiaries, including the Company, constitutes ING’s U.S.-based retirement, investment
management and insurance operations. As of March 25, 2014, ING’s ownership of Voya was approximately 43%. Under an
agreement with the European Commission, ING is required to divest itself of 100% of Voya by the end of 2016.

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 annuity, retirement and investment products are subject to a complex and extensive array of state and
federal tax, securities, insurance and employee benefit plan laws and regulations, which are administered and enforced by a number of
different governmental and self-regulatory authorities, including state insurance regulators, state securities administrators, state
banking authorities, the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), The Department of Labor (“DOL”), the IRS
and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”). For example, U.S. federal income tax law imposes requirements relating
to insurance and annuity product design, administration and investments that are conditions for beneficial tax treatment of such
products under the Tax Code. See “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” for further discussion of some of these
requirements. Additionally, state and federal securities and insurance laws impose requirements relating to insurance and annuity
product design, offering and distribution and administration. Failure to administer product features in accordance with contract
provisions or applicable law, or to meet any of these complex tax, securities, or insurance requirements could subject us to
administrative penalties imposed by a particular governmental or self-regulatory authority, unanticipated costs associated with
remedying such failure or other claims, harm to our reputation, interruption of our operations or adversely impact profitability.

Variable Annuity Account B and its Sub-accounts

Organization and Operation
We established Variable Annuity Account B (the “Separate Account”) under Connecticut Law in 1976 as a continuation of the
separate account of Aetna Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company established in 1974 under Arkansas law. 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 contract that are not related to the Separate Account, including payment of
the MGWB Periodic Payments, are subject to the claims of our creditors and the claims paying ability of the Company and our
General Account.

Sub-accounts
The Separate Account is divided into “Sub-accounts.” Each Sub-account invests directly in shares of a corresponding Fund. While
there is only one Sub-account currently available after the Right to Examine Period, we reserve the right to add additional Sub-
accounts in the future. Under certain circumstances, we may make certain changes to the Sub-accounts. For more information, see
page 11.

More information about the Sub-account(s) available under the contract is contained below. You bear the entire investment risk for
amounts allocated through a Sub-account to an underlying Fund, and you may lose your principal. The investment results of the
underlying Funds are likely to differ significantly. There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objectives. You
should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks and charges and expenses of an underlying Fund before investing. More
information is available in the prospectus for an underlying Fund. You may obtain a copy of the prospectus for an underlying Fund by
contacting Customer Service . Contact information for Customer Service appears on page 1.

  Please work with your investment professional to determine if the available Sub-account(s) may be suited to your financial needs,
investment time horizon and risk tolerance.

  In connection with the rebranding of ING U.S. as Voya FinancialTM, effective May 1, 2014, the ING funds were renamed by generally
replacing ING in each fund name with either Voya or VY.

  During the Right to Examine Period. Unless required otherwise by state law, Premium will be automatically allocated to the Sub-
account that invests in the Voya Money Market Portfolio during the Right to Examine Period. Please note that the Voya
Money Market Portfolio is the Specially Designated Variable Sub-Account and may only be used for certain administrative purposes
during the Right to Examine Period, and you may not transfer Accumulation Value to the Sub-account that invests in this Fund after
the Right to Examine Period, see page 29.

Voya Money Market Portfolio* (Class S) 
Investment Adviser:  Voya Investments, LLC 
Investment Subadviser:  Voya Investment Management Co. LLC 
Investment Objective:  The Portfolio seeks to provide high current return, consistent with preservation of capital and liquidity, 
  through investment in high-quality money market instruments while maintaining a stable share price of 
  $1.00. 

 

  *There is no guarantee that the Voya Money Market Portfolio subaccount will have a positive or level return.

After the Right to Examine Period. After the Right to Examine Period, your Accumulation Value will automatically be reallocated
to the Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio.

Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio (Class I) 
Investment Adviser:  Directed Services LLC 
Investment Subadviser:  Voya Investment Management Co. LLC 
Investment Objective:  The Portfolio seeks a high level of total return (consisting of capital appreciation and income) 
  consistent with a level of risk that can be expected to be greater than that of Voya Retirement 
  Conservative Portfolio but less than that of Voya Retirement Moderate Growth Portfolio. 

 

  The Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio is structured as a “fund of funds.” Funds structured as fund of funds may have higher
fees and expenses than Funds that invests directly in debt and equity securities because they also incur the fees and expenses of the
underlying funds in which they invest. This Fund is an affiliated Fund, and the underlying funds in which it invests may be affiliated
as well. The Fund prospectuses disclose the aggregate annual operating expenses of each Fund and its corresponding underlying fund
or funds.

Changes to a Sub-account and/or Variable Annuity Account B
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 Sub-accounts that will invest in Funds we find appropriate for contracts we issue;
  • Combine two or more Sub-accounts;
  • Close Sub-accounts. We will provide advance notice by a supplement to this prospectus if we close a Sub-account;
  • Substitute a new Fund for a Fund in which a Sub-account currently invests. In the case of a substitution, the new Fund may
     
  • 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 (as discussed more fully below); 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) and or shareholders.

    We will provide you with written notice before we make any of these changes to the Sub-accounts and/or Variable Annuity Account B
    that affect the contracts.

    Voting Rights
    We will vote the shares of an underlying Fund owned by the Separate Account according to your instructions. However, if the 1940
    Act or any related regulations should change, or if interpretations of it or related regulations should change, and we decide that we are
    permitted to vote the shares of a trust in our own right, we may decide to do so without consulting you.

    We determine the number of shares that you have in a Sub-account by dividing the contract’s Accumulation Value in that Sub-account
    by the net asset value of one share of the underlying Fund in which a Sub-account invests. We count fractional votes. We will
    determine the number of shares you can instruct us to vote 180 days or less before a trust shareholder meeting. We will ask you for
    voting instructions by mail at least 10 days before the meeting. If we do not receive your instructions in time, we will vote the shares
    in the same proportion as the instructions received from all contracts in that Sub-account. We will also vote shares we hold in the
    Separate Account that are not attributable to contract Owners in the same proportion. The effect of proportional voting is that a small
    number of contract Owners may decide the outcome of a vote.

    Fees and Expenses

    We deduct the following fees and expenses to compensate us for our costs, the services we provide, and the risks we assume under the
    contracts. We incur costs for distributing and administering the contracts, including compensation and expenses paid in connection
    with sales of the contracts, for paying the benefits payable under the contracts and for bearing various risks associated with the
    contracts. Fees and expenses expressed as a percentage are rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent. We expect to profit from
    the charges and may use the profits to finance the distribution of contracts. All current charges under the contract will be determined
    and applied in a non-discriminatory manner.

    Premium Tax
    In certain states, the Premium you pay for the contract is subject to a premium tax. A premium tax is generally any tax or fee imposed
    or levied by any state government or political subdivision thereof on your Premium received by us. Currently, the premium tax ranges
    from zero to 3.5%, depending on your state of residence. We reserve the right to recoup the amount of any premium tax from the
    Accumulation Value if and when:

    • The premium tax is incurred by us; or
    • The Accumulation Value is applied to an Annuity Plan on the Annuity Commencement Date.

    Unless you direct otherwise, a charge for any premium taxes will be deducted proportionally from the Accumulation Value. We
    reserve the right to change the amount we charge for the premium tax if you change your state of residence. We do not expect to incur
    any other tax liability attributable to the contract. We also reserve the right to charge for any other taxes as a result of any changes in
    applicable law.

    11



    Excess Transfer Charge
    Currently, only one investment option is available after the Right to Examine Period so an Excess Transfer charge cannot be incurred.
    If, however, additional investment options are available in the future, there is a maximum $50 charge for each transfer exceeding 12
    during a Contract Year (which we refer to as an Excess Transfer).

    Annual Administrative Charge
    The maximum annual administrative charge of $80 may be assessed to cover a portion of our ongoing administrative expenses. The
    current charge may be less than this maximum amount, and the charge applicable to you will be set forth in your contract. You may
    contact Customer Service for information about the current annual administrative charge. The charge is deducted from
    the Accumulation Value in each Sub-account (1) on each Contract Anniversary prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, (2) on the
    Annuity Commencement Date, (3) on each Contract Anniversary following the Annuity Commencement Date if you elect the
    Payments for Life with Surrender Right and Death Benefit Annuity Plan, and (4) at Surrender. We currently do not impose this
    charge and we guarantee not to impose this charge if at the time of deduction the Accumulation Value is at least $100,000 or the
    Premium received was at least $100,000.

    Mortality and Expense Risk Charge
    The maximum annual mortality and expense risk charge is 1.50% of the Accumulation Value. The current charge may be less than
    this maximum amount, and the charge applicable to you will be set forth in your contract. You may contact Customer Service
    for information about the current annual mortality and expense risk charge. The charge is deducted from the Accumulation
    Value in each Sub-Account on each Business Day. This charge compensates us for Death Benefit and age risks and the risk that
    expense charges will not cover actual expenses. If there are any profits from this charge, we may use them to finance the distribution
    of the contracts.

      MGWB Charge
    The maximum annual MGWB Charge is 2.00 % of the MGWB Base. The current charge may be less than this maximum amount, and
    the charge applicable to you will be set forth in your contract. You may contact Customer Service for information about
    the current MGWB Charge. The MGWB charge is equal to the MGWB Base on the previous Business Day multiplied by the MGWB
    Charge and the sum of the daily accruals is deducted proportionally from the Accumulation Value in each Sub-account on each
    quarterly Contract Anniversary. This charge compensates us for the risk that the assumptions used in designing the MGWB prove
    inaccurate.

    The charge for the MGWB will continue to be assessed until the Accumulation Value is reduced to zero, or until the MGWB is
    terminated. See page 21. Deduction of the MGWB Charge will not result in termination of the contract. The MGWB charge will be
    prorated in the event that:

    • The contract (and therefore the MGWB) is terminated by Surrender. See page 22.
    • The Accumulation Value is applied to an Annuity Plan described in Table 1. See page 26.
    • The MGWB is terminated upon an impermissible ownership change. See page 14.

      Also, the MGWB will terminate upon the death of the Annuitant in the case of a single life MGWB or the lives of the Annuitant and
    the Annuitant’s spouse in the case of a Joint and Survivor MGWB (subject to the surviving spouse’s option to continue the contract).
    See page 21. Upon Proof of Death (see page 24), any charges which are due but unpaid for any period the MGWB was active and in
    force prior to the date of death will be deducted, or any charges that have been deducted for any period of time after the date of death
    will be refunded.

    Underlying Fund Expenses
    As shown in the prospectuses for the underlying Funds, each underlying Fund deducts management fees from the amounts allocated to
    it. In addition, each underlying Fund deducts other expenses which may include service fees that may be used to compensate service
    providers, including the Company and its affiliates, for administrative and contract Owner services provided on behalf of the Fund.
    Furthermore, certain underlying Funds may deduct a distribution or 12b-1 fee, which is used to finance any activity that is primarily
    intended to result in the sale of Fund shares. Fees are deducted from the value of the underlying Fund shares on a daily basis, which in
    turn affects the value of each Sub-account that purchases Fund shares. For a more complete description of these fees and expenses,
    review each prospectus for the underlying Fund. You should evaluate the expenses associated with the underlying Fund(s)
    available through the contract before making a decision to invest.

    The Company may receive compensation from each of the underlying Funds or their affiliates based on an annual percentage of the
    average net assets held in that underlying Fund by the Company. The percentage paid may vary from one Fund company to another.
    For certain underlying Funds, some of this compensation may be paid out of 12b-1 fees or service fees that are deducted from
    underlying Fund assets. Any such fees deducted from underlying Fund assets are disclosed in the prospectuses for the underlying
    Fund. The Company may also receive additional compensation from certain underlying Funds for administrative, recordkeeping or
    other services provided by the Company to the underlying Funds or their affiliates. These additional payments may also be used by

      12



      the Company to finance distribution. 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.

    Please note that certain management personnel and other employees of the Company or its affiliates may receive a portion of their
    total employment compensation based on the amount of net assets allocated to affiliated Funds. For more information, please see page
    30.

    The Contract

    The contract described in this prospectus is a single premium deferred individual variable annuity contract. The contract currently
    provides a means for you to invest in one Sub-account and has a Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit. The contract is non-
    participating, which means that it will not pay dividends resulting from any surplus or earnings of the Company. We urge you to read
    the contract, which further describes the operation of the contract and has additional information about the rights and responsibilities
    under the contract.

    Owner
    The Owner is the individual (or entity) entitled to exercise the rights incident to ownership. The Owner may be either the Annuitant or
    a custodian holding the contract for the benefit of the Annuitant. No other Owners are permitted.

    Annuitant
    The Annuitant is the individual upon whose life the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefits, Death Benefit and Annuity Payments
    are based. If you do not designate the Annuitant, the Owner will be the Annuitant. The Annuitant must be a natural person, who is
    designated by you at the time the contract is issued. The Annuitant must be the Owner, unless the Owner is a custodian that holds the
    contract for the benefit of the Annuitant. The Annuitant cannot be changed while he or she is still living.

    Beneficiary
    The Beneficiary is the individual or entity designated by you to receive the Death Benefit. You may designate one or more primary
    Beneficiaries and contingent Beneficiaries. The Death Benefit will be paid to the primary Beneficiary. The Owner may designate a
    contingent Beneficiary, who will become the Beneficiary if all primary Beneficiaries die before the Annuitant. The Owner may also
    designate any Beneficiary to be an irrevocable Beneficiary. An irrevocable Beneficiary is a Beneficiary whose rights and interest
    under the contract cannot be changed without the consent of such irrevocable Beneficiary.

    Payment of the Death Benefit to the Beneficiary:

    • We pay the Death Benefit to the primary Beneficiary;
    • If all primary Beneficiaries die before the Annuitant, we pay the Death Benefit to any contingent Beneficiary, who shall take the place of, and be deemed to be, the primary Beneficiary;
    • If the Annuitant dies (or the Annuitant’s spouse dies who has continued the contract after the Annuitant’s death), is the Owner and there is no surviving Beneficiary or no Beneficiary is designated, we pay the Death Benefit to the Owner’s estate;
    • If the Owner is not a natural person and all Beneficiaries die or no Beneficiary has been designated before the Annuitant’s death (or the Annuitant’s spouse’s death who has continued the contract after the Annuitant’s death), the Owner will be deemed to be the primary Beneficiary;
    • If a Joint and Survivor MGWB has been elected, the Annuitant’s spouse will be deemed to be the sole primary Beneficiary notwithstanding any other Beneficiary designation made; and
    • In the case of more than one Beneficiary, we will assume any Death Benefit is to be paid in equal shares to all primary Beneficiaries, unless you provide Notice to Us directing otherwise.

      We will deem a Beneficiary to have predeceased the Annuitant if:

    • The Beneficiary died at the same time as the Annuitant;
    • The Beneficiary died within 24 hours after the Annuitant’s death; or
    • There is insufficient evidence to determine that the Beneficiary and Annuitant died other than at the same time.

      The Beneficiary may decide how to receive the Death Benefit, subject to the distribution requirements under Section 72(s) of the
    Code. You may restrict a Beneficiary’s right to elect an Annuity Plan or receive the Death Benefit in a single lump-sum payment.

    13



    Change of Owner or Beneficiary
    You may change the ownership of the contract before the Annuity Commencement Date. Only the following ownership changes are
    allowed:

    • Continuation of the contract by a Beneficiary who is the spouse (as defined under federal law) of the deceased Annuitant;
    • From one custodian to another for the benefit of the Annuitant;
    • From a custodian for the benefit of the Annuitant to the Annuitant;
    • From the Annuitant to a custodian for the benefit of the Annuitant;
    • Collateral assignments; and
    • Pursuant to a court order.

    You have the right to change the Beneficiary unless you have designated such person as an irrevocable Beneficiary at any time prior to
    the Annuity Commencement Date. Unless you specify otherwise, a change of Beneficiary cancels any existing Beneficiary
    designations in the same class (primary or contingent).

    Notice to Us is required for any change to the Owner or Beneficiary. Any such change will take effect as of the date Notice to Us is
    signed by the Owner, subject to any payment made or action taken by us before receiving such Notice to Us. A change of Owner
    likely has tax consequences. See page 33.

    Availability of the Contract
    The contract is designed for participants in employer sponsored retirement plans who want to rollover their interest in the Group
    Contract, which offers similar minimum guaranteed withdrawal benefits and other features, into an individual retirement annuity. The
    contract is designed for long-term tax-deferred accumulation of assets, generally for retirement or other long-term purposes, and the
    provision of lifetime income in retirement through the MGWB. The tax-deferred feature is more attractive to people in high federal
    and state income tax brackets. You should not buy the contract if:

    • You are looking for a short-term investment;
    • You cannot risk getting back an amount less than your initial investment; or
    • Your assets are in a plan that already provides for tax-deferral and you can identify no other benefits in purchasing the contract.

    When considering an investment in the contract, you should consult with your investment professional about your financial
    goals, investment time horizon and risk tolerance.

    Replacing an existing interest in the Group Contract with the contract may not be beneficial to you. Before purchasing the
    contract, you should determine whether your existing interest in the Group Contract will be subject to any fees or penalties
    upon termination of such interest. You should also compare the fees, charges, coverage provisions and limitations, if any, of
    your existing interest under the Group Contract to the contract.

    Under federal tax laws, earnings on amounts held in annuity contracts are generally not taxed until they are withdrawn, which is
    known as tax-deferral. IRAs and other qualified plans already provide tax-deferral found in the contract and the contract is not
    necessary to provide this favorable tax treatment. The contract provides, however, other features and benefits like the MGWB and
    Annuity Plans, which other IRAs and qualified plans may not provide. You should not purchase the contract unless you want these
    other features and benefits, taking into account the costs of these other features and benefits. See page 33 for more information.

    Contract Purchase Requirements
    We will issue a contract so long as the Annuitant is between the ages 48 and 80 at the time of application and is rolling over his or her
    interest in their employer sponsored retirement plan’s Group Contract.

    There is no minimum Premium requirement; however, the minimum MGWB Base must be at least $5,000. The Premium will equal
    the Annuitant’s individual account value under the retirement plan Group Contract which is being rolled into the contact. The initial
    MGWB Base will equal the Annuitant’s MGWB Base in the retirement plan Group Contract which is being rolled into the contract.

    Crediting of the Premium Payment
    We will process your Premium within 2 Business Days of receipt and allocate it, except as noted below, according to the instructions
    you specify, in an amount equal to the Accumulation Value as next determined after receipt, so long as the application and all
    information necessary for processing is complete.

    14



    In the event that an application is incomplete for any reason, we are permitted to retain your Premium for up to 5 Business Days while
    attempting to complete it. If the application cannot be completed during this time, we will inform you of the reasons for the delay.
    We will also return the Premium promptly. Alternatively, you may direct us to hold the Premium, which we will place in a non-
    interest bearing account until the application is completed. Once the application is completed, we will process your Premium within 2
    Business Days and allocate it as described below.

    Unless otherwise required by state law, we will allocate your Premium to the Sub-account that invests in the Voya Money Market
    Portfolio during the Right to Examine Period. We refer to this Sub-account as the Specially Designated Variable Sub-account –
    currently. After Right to Examine Period expires, we will automatically transfer your Accumulation Value in the Specially
    Designated Variable Sub-account to the Sub-account that invests in the Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio. The Accumulation
    Value will be allocated based on the Accumulation Value next computed for the new Sub-account.

    Accumulation Value
    When we allocate your Premium to the Specially Designated Variable Sub-account as described above, we will convert it to
    accumulation units. We will divide the amount of the Premium allocated to a particular Sub-account by the value of an accumulation
    unit for the Sub-account to determine the number of accumulation units of the Sub-account to be held in the Separate Account with
    respect to your contract. Each Sub-account of Variable Annuity Account B has its own accumulation unit value. This value may
    increase or decrease from day to day based on the investment performance of the applicable underlying Fund. Shares in an underlying
    Fund are valued at their net asset value. The net investment results of each Sub-account vary with its investment performance.

    On the Contract Date, the Accumulation Value in a Sub-account equals the Premium allocated to that Sub-account, less a charge for
    premium tax, if applicable. We calculate the Accumulation Value at the close of each Business Day thereafter as follows:

    • Accumulation Value in each Sub-account at the close of the preceding Business Day; multiplied by
    • The Sub-account’s Net Return Factor for the current Valuation Period (see below); plus or minus
    • Any transfers to or from the Sub-account during the current Valuation Period; minus
    • Any Withdrawals from the Sub-account during the current Valuation Period; minus
    • The MGWB Charge, which is accrued daily and deducted quarterly, and applicable taxes, including any premium taxes, not previously deducted, allocated to the Sub-account.

      A Sub-account’s Net Return Factor is an index number that reflects certain charges under the contract and the investment performance
    of the Sub-account. The Net Return Factor is calculated for each Sub-account as follows:

    • The net asset value of the Fund in which the Sub-account invests at the close of the current Business Day; plus
    • The amount of any dividend or capital gains distribution declared for and reinvested in such Fund during the current Valuation Period; divided by
    • The net asset value of the Fund at the close of the preceding Business Day; minus
    • The daily charge (e.g. the Mortality and Expense Risk Charge) for each day in the current Valuation Period.

      Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit

    Highlights
    The MGWB guarantees an amount available for regular or systematic Withdrawals from the contract each Contract Year once the
    Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins (which is the date of your first Withdrawal on or after the Annuitant reaches age 62). We use the
    MGWB Base (which is adjusted as described below) as part of the calculation of the pre-determined amount the MGWB guarantees to
    be available for regular or systematic Withdrawals from the contract each Contract Year (which we refer to as the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal (“MAW”) amount). The guarantee continues when the MGWB enters Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status (which
    begins when your Accumulation Value is reduced to zero by a Withdrawal less than or equal to the MAW), at which time we will
    make periodic payments to you in an aggregate annual amount equal to the MAW until the Annuitant’s death in the case of a single
    life MGWB, or the deaths of both the Annuitant and the Annuitant’s spouse in the case of a Joint and Survivor MGWB. The MGWB
    Base is eligible for Ratchets (which are recalculations of the MGWB Base as described below), and is subject to adjustment for any
    Excess Withdrawals. The MGWB has an allowance for Withdrawals from a contract subject to the Required Minimum Distribution
    rules of the Code that would otherwise be Excess Withdrawals. The MGWB allows for spousal continuation if a Joint and Survivor
    MGWB has been elected.

    The MGWB is an obligation of our General Account and payment of the benefit is dependent upon the claims paying ability of
    the Company. Benefits and guarantees are subject to the certain conditions, limitations and restrictions and you should
    consider the risk that, depending on the market performance of your Accumulation Value and how long you live, the MGWB
    may not provide a benefit to you.

    15



      MGWB Base
    The MGWB Base is a factor that is used to calculate the MAW and the MGWB Charge. On the Contract Date, the MGWB Base is set
    equal to the Annuitant’s MGWB Base under the retirement plan Group Contract rolled into the contract. The MGWB Base under the
    Group Contract is based on the amount of contributions to the Group Contract by or on behalf of the Annuitant, the Annuitant’s
    individual account value each year under the Group Contract on the Annuitant’s birthday or the date of the Annuitant’s lifetime
    withdrawal phase election under the Group Contract and the amount of excess withdrawals, if any, by the Annuitant under the Group
    Contract. The MGWB Base may be increased by Ratchets and may decrease due to any Withdrawals. The MGWB has no cash value.
    You may contact Customer Service to determine your current MGWB Base at any time.

      Withdrawals and Excess Withdrawals
    A Withdrawal is a transaction in which only a portion of the Cash Surrender Value is taken from the contract, and a Withdrawal is
    either an Excess Withdrawal or it is not. Deductions for fees and charges are not Withdrawals.

    A Withdrawal that is not an Excess Withdrawal has no impact on the MGWB Base. On the other hand, a Withdrawal that is an
    Excess Withdrawal results in the reduction of the MGWB Base as described below.

    An Excess Withdrawal is:

    · Any Withdrawal taken before the commencement of the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase; and

    · Any Withdrawal taken during a Contract Year on or after the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has begun that exceeds the then current MAW amount.

      An Excess Withdrawal will decrease the MGWB Base (and consequently the MAW) and may cause the MGWB to terminate. The
    MGWB terminating by an Excess Withdrawal is more likely to occur during periods of negative market activity. On the date that any
    Excess Withdrawal occurs, we will apply an immediate pro rata reduction to the MGWB Base. The proportion of any such reduction
    will equal:

    A
    {B – (C – A)} 

     

    Where:

    · A is the amount of the Excess Withdrawal;

    · B is the Accumulation Value immediately prior to the Withdrawal; and· C is the total amount of the current Withdrawal.

    A pro rata reduction of the MGWB Base means that the MGWB Base will be reduced in the same proportion as the Accumulation
    Value is reduced by the portion of the Withdrawal that is considered an Excess Withdrawal, (rather than the total amount of the
    Withdrawal).

    The amount of the MGWB Base after an Excess Withdrawal will equal: 
     
    (1 – D) * E 
    Where: 

     

    • D is the proportion of the reduction of the MGWB Base (determined under the formula above); and
    • E is the MGWB Base before the Excess Withdrawal
      Example:
      Assume a contract before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins has an Accumulation Value of $90,000, an MGWB Base of $100,000, and there is no MAW amount because the Annuitant is not yet age 62. If a Withdrawal is taken the entire amount of the Withdrawal is considered an Excess Withdrawal because it occurred before commencement of the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase. If the withdrawal was for $3,000, the MGWB Base will be reduced by 3.33% = ($3,000/{$90,000 - ($3,000 – $3,000)} to $96,667 = ((1 - 3.33%) * $100,000).
          Maximum     
    Accumulation    Total    Excess  MGWB 
      Withdrawal    Annual     
    Value    Withdrawals    Withdrawal  Base 
          Withdrawal     
    $90,000      n/a    $100,000 
      $3,000  $3,000    $3,000   
    $87,000      n/a    $96,667 

     

      16



    In addition to the MGWB Base, an Excess Withdrawal that occurs after the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins will also cause the
    MAW to be recalculated. The adjustment to the MGWB Base and consequently the MAW is based on the amount by which the total
    Withdrawals in the Contract Year exceed the MAW.

    Example:
    Assume a contract after the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins has an Accumulation Value of $53,000, an MGWB Base of
    $100,000, and a MAW amount of $5,000. Also assume that three Withdrawals are taken within the same Contract Year
    ($3,000, $1,500 and $1,700). The first two Withdrawals of $3,000 and $1,500 ($4,500 total) do not exceed the $5,000 MAW
    amount. With the third Withdrawal of $1,700, however, the total Withdrawals in that Contract Year exceeds the MAW by
    $1,200 ($6,200 - $5,000). Consequently, the third Withdrawal of $1,700 results in adjustments to the MGWB Base and the
    MAW is based on $1,200, which is the amount by which the total Withdrawals in the Contract Year exceed the MAW. The
    MGWB Base will be reduced by 2.50% = ($1,200/{$48,500 – ($1,700 - $1,200)} to $97,500 = ((1 - 2.50%) * $100,000).
    The MAW is also reduced by 2.50% to $4,875 = ((1 - 2.50%) * $5,000).

          Maximum     
    Accumulation    Total    Excess  MGWB 
      Withdrawal    Annual     
    Value    Withdrawals    Withdrawal  Base 
          Withdrawal

    $50,000      $5,000    $100,000

    $48,500      $5,000    $100,000 
      $1,700  $6,200    $1,200   
    $46,800      $4,875    $97,500 

     

      IMPORTANT NOTE: An Excess Withdrawal will be deemed to be a full Surrender and the Cash Surrender Value will be paid if, at
    the time of the Withdrawal, the Contract Date is more than 24 months in the past (36 months for contracts issued in New York) and
    the remaining Cash Surrender Value as of the close of that Business Day is less than $2,500 ($5,000 for contracts issued in New
    York).

    Ratchets
    The MGWB Base is recalculated on each Ratchet Date, meaning each Contract Anniversary before the Lifetime Automatic Benefit
    Status begins and the day the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, to equal the greater of the current value of:

    • The MGWB Base; and
    • The Accumulation Value

      We call each such recalculation a Ratchet. If the Accumulation Value on the applicable Ratchet Date is equal to or less than the
    MGWB Base on such Ratchet Date, the amount of the MGWB Base remains unchanged. If the Accumulation Value on the applicable
    Ratchet Date is equal to or greater than the MGWB Base on such Ratchet Date, the amount of the MGWB Base is increased to equal
    the Accumulation Value.

    If a Ratchet is scheduled to occur on a non-Business Day, the determination of whether a Ratchet will occur will take place on the next
    Business Day, calculated using the Accumulation Value as of the end of that Business Day, prior to the processing of any transactions.

    Lifetime Withdrawal Phase
    The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase is the period during which the MAW is available for Withdrawal in any Contract Year without
    reducing the MGWB Base in future Contract Years. The Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins on the date of your first Withdrawal
    when the Annuitant is age 62 (which we refer to as the Lifetime Withdrawal Eligibility Age). On the date the Lifetime Withdrawal
    Phase begins, a Ratchet occurs and the MGWB Base is recalculated to equal the greater of the current value of:

    • The MGWB Base; and
    • The Accumulation Value on the previous Business Day.

    17



    Once begun, the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase will continue until the earliest of:

    • The date the contract is Surrendered or otherwise terminated;
    • The date of the Annuitant’s death in the case of single life MGWB, or the later of the date of the Annuitant’s death and the Annuitant’s spouse’s death in the case of a Joint and Survivor MGWB. See page 21 for details about spousal continuation;
    • The Annuity Commencement Date, unless you elect the Payments under the Table 2 Annuity Plan for a Roth IRA contract. See page 26;
    • The date the Accumulation Value is reduced to zero by an Excess Withdrawal; and
    • The date the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins.

    Maximum Annual Withdrawal (“MAW”)
    The MAW is the maximum amount available for regular or systematic Withdrawals from the contract under the MGWB in any
    Contract Year without reducing the MGWB Base. The amount of the MAW is first calculated on the date the Lifetime Withdrawal
    Phase begins. The MAW equals the MGWB Base multiplied by the MAW percentage. The MAW percentage is equal to the
    Annuitant’s MAW percentage under the retirement plan Group Contract rolled into the contract. Under the Group Contract, the
    MAW percentage is equal to the dollar weighted average of the withdrawal rates associated with contributions to the Group Contract
    by the Annuitant. The MAW percentage will not change for the life of the contract even though the MGWB Base may change.

    The MAW is recalculated whenever the MGWB Base is recalculated, and the amount of the MAW will increase if the MGWB Base is
    increased through Ratchets. The amount of the MAW will decrease if the MGWB Base is decreased because of Excess Withdrawals.
    The amount of the MAW will not be reduced by any negative market performance attributable to the Sub-account(s) in which your
    Accumulation Value is allocated.

    The MAW amount will be paid in monthly installments unless some other frequency of payment is requested and agreed to by us, and
    the frequency of MAW installments within a Contract Year may be changed subject to our approval. If a MAW installment is less
    than $100, we reserve the right to adjust the frequency so that the installment will be at least $100.

    Adjustment to the MAW When Payments Begin before or after Age 65. The MAW is subject to downward or upward adjustment
    when the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase is elected at an age that is earlier or later than age 65, the assumed lifetime withdrawal
    commencement age. The adjustment factors for early and for deferred Lifetime Withdrawal commencements are as follows:

    Early Lifetime Withdrawal Commencement:  The MAW is reduced to: 
        95% when starting at age 64 
        90% when starting at age 63 
        85% when starting at age 62 
     
    Deferred Lifetime Withdrawal Commencement:  The MAW is increased to: 
        102% when starting at age 66 
        104% when starting at age 67 
        106% when starting at age 68 
        108% when starting at age 69 
        110% when starting at age 70 or older 

     

    Adjustment to the MAW for Joint and Survivor MGWB. In the case of a Joint and Survivor MGWB, the MAW is subject to
    further downward adjustment by the Joint and Survivor Equivalency Factors shown in Appendix 1 to this Prospectus. The ages of the
    Annuitant and the Annuitant’s spouse at the time the contract enters the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase will be used when making this
    adjustment. If the Annuitant or the Annuitant’s spouse is not alive when the contract enters the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase, we will
    use the age that the Annuitant or Annuitant’s spouse, as applicable, would have been had he or she still been living when making this
    adjustment. If the Annuitant dies before he or she attains the Lifetime Withdrawal Eligibility Age, the Lifetime Withdrawal Eligibility
    Age and any adjustment to the MAW because of Early or Deferred Lifetime Withdrawal Eligibility for the Annuitant’s spouse will
    continue to be based on the age of the Annuitant (had he or she remained alive) and not the age of the surviving spouse.

    See Appendix I for an example of how the Joint and Survivor Equivalency Factors are used to adjust the MAW. This example
    illustrates that when making adjustments to the MAW, an adjustment because of any Early or Deferred Lifetime Withdrawal
    Commencement is made first, and then adjustment for an election of the Joint and Survivor MGWB, if applicable, is made.

    18



    Adjustment to the MAW During the First Contract Year. If the Annuitant was receiving MAW payments under the retirement
    plan Group Contract at the time that the Annuitant rolled their interest in that Group Contract into the contract, then the first Contract
    Year MAW payments under the contract will be adjusted to take into account the MAW payments received under the retirement plan
    Group Contract during the withdrawal year in which the rollover occurred. The amount of the first Contract Year MAW payments
    under the contract in this circumstance will equal the sum of MAW payments remaining for the withdrawal year under the retirement
    plan Group Contract at the time of the rollover, plus the pro-rata portion of the full MAW amount for the first Contract Year under the
    contract. The pro-rata portion will be based on the period of time from the Annuitant’s birthday in the first Contract Year to the first
    Contract Anniversary.

      Example:
    Assume the Annuitant was receiving monthly $1,000 MAW payments under the retirement plan Group Contract ($12,000 per
    year). Also assume that the withdrawal year under the Group Contract (which is from birthday to birthday) is from June 1 to
    May 31. If the rollover occurs on October 15, the Annuitant would have received $5,000 in MAW payments under the Group
    Contract (five monthly $1,000 payments from June to October) with $7,000 remaining ($12,000 - $5,000). In these
    circumstances the first Contract Year MAW under the contract following the rollover is equal to the sum of (a) and (b), where:

    (a)      $7,000 (the remaining MAW amount under the Group Contract); and
    (b)      $4,471.23 (the full first Contract Year MAW amount under the contract ($12,000), prorated for the period between the Annuitant’s next birthday (June 1st ) and the first Contract Anniversary (October 15th ) (136 (the number of days from June 1st to October 15th )/365 * $12,000 = $4,471.23)

      Consequently, the total MAW for the first Contract Year under the contract is $11,471.23 ($7,000 + $4,471.23), which
    is less than the full MAW amount. Assuming no Excess Withdrawals, the full MAW amount of $12,000 will be
    available beginning in the second Contract Year.

    Required Minimum Distributions
    Except as noted below for a Joint and Survivor MGWB, for purposes of the MGWB we do not deem Withdrawals that exceed the
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal to be Excess Withdrawals, if such Withdrawals relate to a contract subject to the Required Minimum
    Distribution rules of the Code. You will be entitled to receive the amount by which the Required Minimum Distribution applicable to
    the contract for a calendar year exceeds the Maximum Annual Withdrawal without causing a pro rata adjustment to the MGWB Base
    and Maximum Annual Withdrawal. We refer to this amount as the Additional Withdrawal Amount.

      Example:
    If your Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar year is $6,000, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is
    $5,000, then you will be entitled to receive an Additional Withdrawal Amount of $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000).

    The Additional Withdrawal Amount is available on a calendar year basis and recalculated every January to equal the portion of the
    Required Minimum Distribution for that calendar year that exceeds the MAW on the determination date.

    If you are entitled to an Additional Withdrawal Amount, once you have taken the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for the then current
    Contract Year, the amount of any additional Withdrawals will reduce the Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year
    and, and if such additional Withdrawals do not exceed the Additional Withdrawal Amount, they will not constitute Excess
    Withdrawals.

      Example:
    If the Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar year is $6,000, and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000,
    the Additional Withdrawal Amount equals $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000). The first two Withdrawals of $3,000 and $1,500 ($4,500
    total) do not exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. Although the next Withdrawal of $1,500 exceeds the Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal by $1,000, this amount is equal to the Additional Withdrawal Amount. Because the Additional Withdrawal
    Amount is not deemed to be an Excess Withdrawal, there would be no pro rata adjustment to the MGWB Base and Maximum
    Annual Withdrawal.

    Any unused amount of the Additional Withdrawal Amount from one calendar year may be carried over to the next calendar year and
    is available through the end of that latter year, at which time any amount remaining will expire. Once you have taken the MAW for
    the current Contract Year, the dollar amount of any additional Withdrawals will first count against and reduce any unused Additional
    Withdrawal Amount from the previous calendar year, followed by any Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year.

    19



      Example:
    Assume the most recent Contract Anniversary was July 1, 2013 and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is $5,000. Also
    assume the Required Minimum Distributions for 2014 and 2015 are $6,000 and $5,000, respectively. Between July 1, 2013
    and December 2013, a Withdrawal is taken that exhausts the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. On January 1, 2014, the
    Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year equals $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000). (Note: Although the MAW has
    been exhausted, it is still used to calculate the Additional Withdrawal Amount.) No additional Withdrawals occur in 2014.
    On January 1, 2015, the Additional Withdrawal Amount for the current calendar year equals zero ($5,000 - $5,000).
    However, the Additional Withdrawal Amount calculated for 2014 would still available for Withdrawal until December 31,
    2015.

    Withdrawals that exceed the amount of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and all available Additional Withdrawal Amounts will be
    deemed to be Excess Withdrawals that will cause a pro rata reduction of the MGWB Base, and therefore, a recalculation of the amount
    of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal.

      Example:
    Under a contract with an Accumulation Value of $53,000, assume the MGWB Base is $100,000, the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal is $5,000 and the Required Minimum Distribution for the current calendar year is $6,000. The Additional
    Withdrawal amount equals $1,000 ($6,000 - $5,000). The first two Withdrawals of $3,000 and $1,500 ($4,500 total) do not
    exceed the Maximum Annual Withdrawal. The next Withdrawal of $3,500 exceeds the sum of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount. Although the current Withdrawal is $3,500, the adjustment to the MGWB
    Base and the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is based on $2,000, which is the amount by which the total Withdrawals in the
    Contract Year exceed the sum of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and the Additional Withdrawal Amount. The MGWB
    Base will be reduced by 4.26% = ($2,000/ {$48,500 – ($3,500 - $2,000)} to $95,745 = ((1 - 4.26%) * $100,000)*. The
    Maximum Annual Withdrawal is also reduced by 4.26% to $4,787 = ((1 - 4.26%) * $5,000).1

        Maximum     
    Accumulation  Total    Excess  MGWB 
    Withdrawal    Annual     
    Value  Withdrawals    Withdrawal  Base 
        Withdrawal     
    $53,000    $5,000    $100,000

    $50,000    $5,000    $100,000

    $48,500    $5,000    $100,000 
    $3,500  $8,000    $2,000   
    $45,000    $4,787    $95.745 
     
    1 Figures have been rounded for purposes of this example.       

     

    The Additional Withdrawal Amount is not subject to any adjustment in the event that the Maximum Annual Withdrawal is
    recalculated during a Contract Year because of an Excess Withdrawal. There is also no adjustment to the Additional Withdrawal
    Amount during a Contract Year when a surviving spouse continues the MGWB.

    Joint and Survivor MGWB. An Additional Withdrawal Amount is not available in the case of a Joint and Survivor MGWB where
    the Annuitant has pre-deceased his/her spouse before reaching age 62, the Lifetime Withdrawal Eligibility Age, and the surviving
    spouse as the sole Designated Beneficiary must take Required Minimum Distributions based upon his/her age. Consequently,
    Withdrawals taken from the contract for the deceased Annuitant’s surviving spouse to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution
    rules that exceed the MAW for a specific Contract Year will be deemed Excess Withdrawals in that Contract Year and no Additional
    Withdrawal Amount is available. Once the Annuitant would have reached age 62, the Lifetime Withdrawal Eligibility Age (if he or
    she were still living), withdrawals taken from the contract for the surviving spouse to satisfy the Required Minimum Distribution rules
    that exceed the MAW available under the contract for a specific Contract Year will be Additional Withdrawal Amounts and not be
    deemed Excess Withdrawals in that Contract Year, subject to the provisions described above.

    Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status
    Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status only begins when your Accumulation Value is reduced to zero by a Withdrawal less than
    or equal to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal and not by an Excess Withdrawal (or Surrender of the contract). An Excess Withdrawal
    that causes your Accumulation Value to be reduced to zero will terminate the MGWB. Moreover, any Excess Withdrawal will be
    deemed to be a full Surrender and the Cash Surrender Value will be paid if, at the time of the Withdrawal the contract has been in
    force for more than 24 months (36 months for contracts issued in New York) and the remaining Cash Surrender Value as of the close
    of that Business Day is less than $2,500 ($5,000 for contracts issued in New York). See page 21.

    20



    During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status, because there is no Accumulation Value you are not entitled to make
    Withdrawals; instead, we will make periodic payments to you, which over the course of a Contract Year, will, in the aggregate, equal
    the MAW. We refer to these payments as MGWB Periodic Payments. MGWB Periodic Payments will begin on the first Contract
    Anniversary after the date the MGWB enters Lifetime Periodic Benefit Status and will continue to be paid annually for each Contract
    Year thereafter until the Annuitant dies (in the case of a single life MGWB) or until the later of the Annuitant’s or the Annuitant’s
    spouse’s death (in the case of a Joint and Survivor MGWB). When Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins, if your
    Withdrawals are less than the Maximum Annual Withdrawal for that Contract Year, we will pay you the difference. MGWB Periodic
    Payments will be paid in annual installments unless some other frequency of payment is requested and agreed to by us, and the
    frequency of MGWB Periodic Payment installments within a Contract Year may be changed subject to our approval. If a MGWB
    Periodic Payment installment is less than $100, we reserve the right to adjust the frequency so that the installment will be at least
    $100.

    During Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status:

    • The dollar amount of the MGWB Periodic Payments will be the same for the remaining life of the Annuitant (in the case of a
       single life MGWB) or the remaining lives of the Annuitant and the Annuitant’s spouse’s (in the case of a Joint and Survivor MGWB); and
    • The contract will provide no further benefits other than as provided in connection with the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit.

    The Owner or, if applicable, the Owner’s estate is obligated to return any MGWB Periodic Payments made after the Annuitant’s and
    the Annuitant’s spouse’s, as applicable, death but before we receive Notice to Us of the death(s).

    If you have previously elected to receive systematic Withdrawals that entitle you to receive either a fixed dollar amount or an amount
    based upon a percentage of the Accumulation Value from your contract, which amount is paid to you on a monthly, quarterly or
    annual basis, the MGWB Periodic Payments once Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status begins will be made at the same
    frequency and on the same dates as previously set up, provided the payments were being made monthly or quarterly. If the payments
    were being made annually, then the MGWB Periodic Payments will be made on the next business day following each Contract
    Anniversary. The amount of the MGWB Periodic Payments in each Contract Year will equal the amount of the Maximum Annual
    Withdrawal.

    In the event that the Accumulation Value is reduced to zero before the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins, MGWB Periodic Payments
    will be deferred until the Contract Anniversary on or after the Annuitant reaches age 62.

    Death of the Annuitant and Spousal Continuation of the MGWB
    The contract permits a sole primary Beneficiary who is the spouse of the deceased Annuitant to elect to receive payment of the death
    benefit or continue the contract. The surviving spouse as Beneficiary (or deemed Beneficiary) has the option, but is not required to
    continue the contract. Except as described below, the spouse’s right to continue the contract is limited by our use of the definition of
    “spouse” under U.S. federal law, which refers only to a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife.

    When the Annuitant dies, the treatment of the MGWB upon spousal continuation depends on whether a single life MGWB or a Joint
    and Survivor MGWB was elected when the Annuitant’s interest in their retirement plan Group Contract was rolled into the contract.
    The MGWB terminates upon the death of the Annuitant, unless a Joint and Survivor MGWB was elected when the Annuitant’s
    interest in their retirement plan Group Contract was rolled into the contract and the Annuitant’s spouse, as the sole primary
    Beneficiary, chooses to continue the contract. See Death Benefit – Spousal Beneficiary Contract Continuation on page 24 for
    more information.

    Other Events that Terminate the MGWB
    In addition to the MGWB terminating upon the Annuitant’s death, subject to the surviving spouse’s option to continue the contract as
    described above, the MGWB terminates in the event that:

    • The contract is terminated by Surrender. See page 22; and
    • The Accumulation Value is applied to an Annuity Plan described in Table 1. See page 26.

    If the MGWB is terminated, the charge for the MGWB will be prorated. Prorated charges will be deducted at the time the MGWB is
    terminated. See page 12.

    21



      Surrender and Withdrawals

    At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, you may Surrender the contract for its Cash Surrender Value or withdraw a
    portion of the Accumulation Value. After the Annuity Commencement Date you may Surrender the contract under the Table 2
    Annuity Plan or for a traditional IRA contract take a Withdrawal under the Table 2 Annuity Plan (see page 26). A Surrender or
    Withdrawal before the Owner or Annuitant, as applicable, reaches age 59 ½ may be subject to a U.S. federal income tax penalty equal
    to 10% of such amount treated as income, for which you would be responsible. See page 33 for a general discussion of the U.S.
    federal income tax treatment of the contract, which discussion is not intended to be tax advice. You should consult a tax adviser for
    advice about the effect of U.S. federal income tax laws, state laws or any other tax laws affecting the contract, or any transaction
    involving the contract.

    Cash Surrender Value
    You may take the Cash Surrender Value from the contract. We do not guarantee a minimum Cash Surrender Value. The Cash
    Surrender Value will fluctuate daily based on the investment results of the Sub-account(s) to which your Accumulation Value is
    allocated. At any time prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the Cash Surrender Value equals the Accumulation Value minus
    any non-daily charges that have been incurred but not deducted (for example, the pro rata portion of any MGWB Charges). The Cash
    Surrender Value may be more or less than the Premium payment you made.

      To Surrender the contract, you must provide Notice to Us. If we receive your Notice to Us before the close of business on any
    Business Day, we will determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the close of business on such Business Day; otherwise, we will
    determine the Cash Surrender Value as of the close of the next Business Day. We may require that the contract be returned to us
    before we pay you the Cash Surrender Value. If you have lost the contract, we may require that you complete and return to
    Customer Service a lost contract form.

    We will pay the Cash Surrender Value within 7 days of receipt of Notice to Us of such Surrender. You may receive the Cash
    Surrender Value in a single lump sum payment (see page 26). Upon payment of the Cash Surrender Value, the contract will terminate
    and cease to have any further value.

    Withdrawals
    You may take a portion of the Accumulation Value from the contract (which we refer to as a Withdrawal). To take a Withdrawal, you
    must provide Notice to Us that specifies the Sub-account(s) from which to take the Withdrawal. Otherwise, we will take the
    Withdrawal on a pro rata basis from all of the Sub-accounts in which you are invested. If we receive your Notice to Us before the
    close of business on any Business Day, we will determine the amount of the Accumulation Value of each Sub-account at the close of
    business on such Business Day; otherwise, we will determine the amount of the Accumulation Value as of the close of the next
    Business Day. The Accumulation Value may be more or less than the Premium payment you made.

    We currently offer the following Withdrawal options:

    • Regular Withdrawals; and
    • Systematic Withdrawals.

      Regular Withdrawals
    After your right to return the contract has expired (see page 29), you may take one or more regular Withdrawals. Each such regular
    Withdrawal must be a minimum of the lesser of:

    • $1,000; and
    • The amount of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal (and any applicable Additional Withdrawal Amount), less any Withdrawals already taken during the current Contract Year.

      You are permitted to make regular Withdrawals regardless of whether you have previously elected, or continue to elect, to make
    systematic Withdrawals. A Withdrawal will constitute an Excess Withdrawal (see page 16) and be deemed to be a full Surrender if:

    • The contract has been in force for more than 24 months (36 months in the State of New York); and
    • The remaining Cash Surrender Value as of the close of the Business Day on which such Surrender is made is less than $2,500 ($5,000 in the State of New York).

    22



    Systematic Withdrawals
    You may choose to receive automatic systematic Withdrawal payments from the Accumulation Value, provided you are not making
    IRA withdrawals (see “Withdrawals from Individual Retirement Annuities” below). You may take systematic Withdrawals monthly,
    quarterly or annually. There is no additional charge for electing the systematic Withdrawal option. Only one systematic Withdrawal
    option may be elected at a time. You may begin a systematic Withdrawal in a Contract Year in which a regular Withdrawal has been
    made.

    If you are eligible for systematic Withdrawals, you must provide Notice to Us of the date on which you would like such systematic
    Withdrawals to start. This date must be at least 30 days after the Contract Date and no later than the 28th day of the calendar month.
    For a day that is after the 28th day of the calendar month, the payment will be made on the first Business Day of the next succeeding
    calendar month. Subject to these restrictions on timing, if you have not indicated a start date, your systematic Withdrawals will begin
    on the first Business Day following the Contract Date (or the monthly or quarterly anniversary thereof), and the systematic
    Withdrawals will be made at the frequency you have selected, which may be either monthly, quarterly or annually. If the day on
    which a systematic Withdrawal is scheduled is not a Business Day, the payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

    You may express the amount of your systematic Withdrawal as either:

    • A fixed dollar amount; or
    • An amount that is a percentage of the Accumulation Value.

    The amount of each systematic Withdrawal must be a minimum of $100. If your systematic Withdrawal of an amount that is a
    percentage of the Accumulation Value would be less than $100, we will contact you and seek alternative instructions. Unless you
    direct otherwise, we will automatically terminate your systematic Withdrawal election.

    Systematic Withdrawals of an amount based either on a fixed dollar amount or on a percentage of the Accumulation Value are subject
    to the applicable maximum percentage of Accumulation Value as shown below, which is used to calculate the amount of Withdrawal
    on the date of each systematic Withdrawal:

    Frequency of Systematic Withdrawals  Maximum Percentage of Accumulation Value 
    Monthly  2.50% 
    Quarterly  7.50% 
    Annually  30.00% 

     

    Because the maximum amount of systematic Withdrawals available each year is capped at 30% of Accumulation Value, the
    maximum amount available each year will decrease as the Withdrawal decreases the Accumulation Value. Maximum Annual
    Withdrawals under the MGWB will not decrease each year unless a Withdrawal is an Excess Withdrawal.

    You may change the fixed dollar amount, or percentage of Accumulation Value, of your systematic Withdrawal once each Contract
    Year, except in a Contract Year during which you have previously made a regular Withdrawal. You may cancel the systematic
    Withdrawal option at any time by providing Notice to Us at least 7 days before the date of the next scheduled systematic Withdrawal.

    Withdrawals from Individual Retirement Annuities
    If you have a traditional IRA contract (other than a Roth IRA contract) and will be at least age 70½ during any calendar year, you
    may, pursuant to your IRA contract, elect for such calendar year and successive calendar years to have distributions made to you to
    satisfy requirements imposed by U.S. federal income tax law. Such IRA Withdrawals provide payout of amounts required to be
    distributed by the Internal Revenue Service rules governing mandatory distributions under qualified plans.

    If you elect to make IRA Withdrawals, we will send you a reminder notice before such IRA Withdrawals commence, and you may
    elect to make IRA Withdrawals at that time, or at a later date. Any IRA Withdrawals will be made at the frequency you have selected
    (which may be monthly, quarterly or annually) and will commence on the start date you have selected, which must be no earlier than
    30 days after the Contract Date and no later than the 28th day of the calendar month. For a day that is after the 28th day of any calendar
    month, the payment will be made on the first Business Day of the next succeeding month. Subject to these restrictions on timing, if
    you have not indicated a start date, your IRA Withdrawals will begin on the first Business Day following your Contract Date at the
    frequency you have selected.

    At your discretion, you may request that we calculate the amount you are required to withdraw from your contract each year based on
    the information you give us and the various options under the IRA contract that you have chosen. This amount will be a minimum of
    $100 per IRA Withdrawal. For information regarding the calculation and options that you have, please see the SAI, which you may
    request from us without charge by sending us the request form on page 41 of this prospectus. Alternatively, we will accept written

    23



    instructions from you setting forth your calculation of the required amount to be withdrawn from your IRA contract each year, also
    subject to the $100 minimum per IRA Withdrawal. If at any time the IRA Withdrawal amount is greater than the Accumulation
    Value, we will immediately terminate the IRA contract and promptly send you an amount equal to the Cash Surrender Value.

    You may not elect to make IRA Withdrawals if you have already elected to make systematic Withdrawals. Additionally, since only
    one systematic Withdrawal option may be elected at a time, if you have elected to make such systematic Withdrawals, distributions
    thereunder must be sufficient to satisfy the mandatory distribution rules imposed by U.S. federal income tax law; otherwise, we may
    alter such distributions to comply with U.S. federal income tax law. You are permitted to change the frequency of your IRA
    Withdrawals once per Contract Year, and you may cancel IRA Withdrawals altogether at any time by providing Notice to Us at least 7
    days before the next scheduled IRA Withdrawal date to ensure such scheduled IRA Withdrawals and successive IRA Withdrawals are
    not affected.

    Sub-account Transfers

    Because there is only one Sub-account currently available after the Right to Examine Period, Sub-account transfers are not available.
    If in the future more than one Sub-account is available, you may transfer your Accumulation Value among the available Sub-accounts,
    and we reserve the right to assess an Excess Transfer Charge for more than 12 transfers in a Contract Year. We also reserve the right
    to limit the number of transfers you may make and may otherwise modify or terminate transfer privileges if required by our
    business judgment or in accordance with applicable law.

    Death Benefit

    The contract provides for a Death Benefit equal to the Accumulation Value. The Death Benefit is calculated as of the date we receive
    Proof of Death of the Annuitant. Subject to state law, the Death Benefit is payable upon our receipt of Proof of Death and all required
    claim forms, provided that the Accumulation Value of the contract has not been applied to an Annuity Plan. See page 26.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The Death Benefit is still payable after the Annuity Commencement Date under the Table 2 Annuity Plan.
    See page 26.

    Proof of Death is the documentation we deem necessary to establish death, including, but not limited to:

    • A certified copy of a death certificate;
    • A certified copy of a statement of death from the attending physician
    • A finding of a court of competent jurisdiction as to the cause of death; or
    • Any other proof we deem in our sole discretion to be satisfactory to us.

    We will calculate the Death Benefit on the Business Day we receive Proof of Death. Once we have received satisfactory Proof of
    Death and all required documentation necessary to process a claim, we will pay the Death Benefit within 7 days of such date. See
    page 29. Only one Death Benefit is payable under the contract. The Death Benefit will be paid to the named Beneficiary. The Owner
    may restrict how the Beneficiary is to receive the Death Benefit (e.g., by requiring a lump-sum payment, installment payments or that
    any amount be applied to an Annuity Plan). See page 26.

    Spousal Beneficiary Contract Continuation
    In the case of a single life MGWB, if the Annuitant’s death occurs before the Annuity Commencement Date, the contract is not in
    Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status and the sole primary Beneficiary is the deceased Annuitant’s “spouse” (as defined by
    federal law), upon Notice to Us from the surviving spouse, in lieu of receiving the Death Benefit (equal to the Accumulation Value)
    the surviving spouse may choose to continue the contract with the surviving spouse as the new Owner, pursuant to Section 72(s) of the
    Code. In this situation the following will apply:

    • The surviving spouse will become the Annuitant;
    • The age of the surviving spouse will be used as the Owner’s age under the continued contract;
    • The MGWB will terminate and may not be continued; and
    • At the subsequent death of the new Owner/Annuitant (i.e., the surviving spouse), the Death Benefit must be distributed as
      required for non-spousal Beneficiaries described below, after which, the continued contract will terminate.

    24



      Because the MGWB will terminate in this situation, a surviving spouse should carefully consider the value of other benefits
    offered through the contract (i.e., systematic withdrawals and Annuity Plan payments) when choosing whether it is
    appropriate in their particular circumstances to continue the contract rather than receive the Death Benefit.

    In the case of a Joint and Survivor MGWB, if the Annuitant’s death occurs before the Annuity Commencement Date and the sole
    primary Beneficiary is the deceased Annuitant’s “spouse” (as defined by federal law), upon Notice to Us from the surviving spouse, in
    lieu of receiving the Death Benefit (equal to the Accumulation Value), the surviving spouse may choose to continue the contract with
    the surviving spouse as the new Owner, pursuant to Section 72(s) of the Code. In this situation the following will apply:

    • The surviving spouse will become the Annuitant;
    • On the day the contract is continued, the MGWB Base will be set equal to the MGWB Base existing at the time of the deceased Annuitant’s death, reduced pro rata for any Withdrawals taken since the deceased Annuitant’s death;
    • Any Withdrawals taken in the Contract Year in which the contract is continued will be included in determining whether any Excess Withdrawals have been taken in that Contract Year as well as used in calculating any pro rata reductions of the MGWB Base;
    • On the day the contract is continued, the MAW Percentage will be set equal to the MAW Percentage existing at the time of the deceased Annuitant’s death;
    • If the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has not yet begun, eligibility to enter the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase will be continue to be based on the deceased Annuitant’s age (as if he or she were still living); and
    • If the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase has not yet begun, the applicable MAW Percentage will continue to be based on the deceased Annuitant’s age (as if he or she were still living) and the continuing spouse’s age at the time the Lifetime Withdrawal Phase begins.

      If the deceased Annuitant’s spouse does not choose to continue the contract, the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit will
    terminate and the Death Benefit will be distributed as stated below for non-spousal Beneficiaries. If the deceased Annuitant’s spouse
    has attained age 90 on the date of the Annuitant’s death, the deceased Annuitant’s spouse may not choose to continue the contract and
    the Death Benefit will be distributed as stated below for non-spousal Beneficiaries.

    Payment of the Proceeds to a Spousal or Non-spousal Beneficiary
    Subject to any payment restrictions imposed by the Owner, the Beneficiary may receive the Death Benefit in one lump sum or
    installments, provided the Death Benefit is distributed to the Beneficiary within 5 years of the Owner’s death. The Beneficiary has
    until 1 year after the Owner’s death to decide to apply the Death Benefit to an Annuity Plan. If the Death Benefit is applied to an
    Annuity Plan, the Beneficiary will be deemed to be the Annuitant, and the Annuity Payments must:

    • Be distributed in substantially equal installments over the life of such Beneficiary or over a period not extending beyond the life expectancy of such Beneficiary; and
    • Begin no later than 1 year after the Owner’s date of death.

      If we do not receive a request to apply the Death Benefit to an Annuity Plan, we will make a single sum distribution to the
    Beneficiary. Subject to state law conditions and requirements, the payment may generally be made into an interest bearing retained
    asset account, backed by our General Account, which can be accessed by the Beneficiary through a draftbook feature. This account
    is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government entity. The Beneficiary may access the Death Benefit
    proceeds at any time without penalty. For information on required distributions under U.S. federal income tax laws, see “Required
    Distributions upon Owner’s Death” below. Interest earned on amounts held in the interest bearing account may be less than interest
    paid on other settlement options, as we seek to make a profit on such interest bearing accounts. You may be able to earn a better
    return elsewhere. At the time of death benefit election, the beneficiary may elect to receive the death benefit proceeds directly by
    check rather than through the draftbook feature of the interest bearing account by notifying Customer Service .
    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.

    The Beneficiary may elect to receive the Death Benefit in payments over a period of time based on his or her life expectancy. These
    payments are sometimes referred to as stretch payments. Stretch payments for each calendar year will vary in amount because they
    are based on the Accumulation Value and the Beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy. The first stretch payment must be made by the
    first anniversary of the Owner’s date of death. Each succeeding stretch payment is required to be made by December 31st of each
    calendar year. Stretch payments are subject to the same conditions and limitations as systematic Withdrawals. See page 23. The
    rules for, and tax consequences of, stretch payments are complex and contain conditions and exceptions not covered in this prospectus.
    You should consult a tax adviser for advice about the effect of U.S. federal income tax laws, state laws or other tax laws affecting
    the contract, or any transactions involving the contract.

    25



      Death Benefit Once Annuity Payments Have Begun
    There is no Death Benefit once the Owner decides to begin receiving Annuity Payments, except under the Table 2 Annuity Plan for a
    Roth IRA (see below). In the event that the Annuitant dies before all guaranteed Annuity Payments have been made pursuant to any
    applicable Annuity Plan, we will continue to make the Annuity Payments until all such guaranteed payments have been made. The
    Annuity Payments will be paid to the Beneficiary according to the Annuity Plan at least as frequently as before the death of the Owner
    or Annuitant, as applicable.

    Annuity Plans and Annuity Payments

    Annuity Payments
    Annuity Payments are periodic payments under an Annuity Plan made by us to you, or subject to our consent in the event the payee is
    not a natural person, to a payee designated by you. Annuity Payments will be made to the Owner, unless you provide Notice to Us
    directing otherwise. Any change in payee will take effect as of the date we receive Notice to Us.

    Annuity Commencement Date
    Annuity Payments may be elected as long as the Annuitant is then living. You can apply the Accumulation Value to an Annuity Plan
    on any date following the first Contract Anniversary. We refer to the date on which Annuity Payments commence as the Annuity
    Commencement Date.

    The Annuity Commencement Date can be no later than the January 1st on or next following the Annuitant’s 90th birthday (which date
    we refer to as the “Maximum Annuity Commencement Date”), unless we agree to a later date. If you do not select a date, the Annuity
    Commencement Date will be the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date.

    The Annuity Plans
    You may elect one of the fixed Annuity Plans described in Table 1 or Table 2 below. In addition, you may elect another Annuity Plan
    we may be offering 30 days prior to the Annuity Commencement Date, the latest date by which you must provide your election. You
    may change Annuity Plans at any time before the Annuity Commencement Date by providing at least 30 days prior Notice to Us. The
    Annuity Plan may not be changed once Annuity Payments begin.

      For Table 1 Annuity Plans, Annuity Payments are fixed and we determine the amount of such Annuity Payments on the Annuity
    Commencement Date as follows:

  • Accumulation Value; minus
  • Any premium tax that may apply; multiplied by
  • The applicable payment factor, which depends on:
     
  • The Annuity Plan;
     
  • The frequency of Annuity Payments;
     
  • The age of the Annuitant (and gender, where appropriate under applicable law); and
     
  • A net investment return of 1.0% is assumed (we may pay a higher rate at our discretion).

    We use the Annuity 2000 Mortality Tables. Portions of the tables relevant to each Annuity Plan are set forth in the contract for
    illustration purposes. You can obtain information more specific to your contract by contacting Customer Service . Contact
    information for Customer Service appears on page 1.

    Under the Annuity Plan that provides for life only payments, if the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit is still in effect (see
    page 15) on the Annuity Commencement Date, we will pay the greater amount of:

    • The Annuity Payments (as determined per the above calculation); and
    • The Maximum Annual Withdrawal. See page 18.

      For Table 2 Annuity Plans:

    For Roth IRA contracts, Annuity Payments will vary and we determine the amount of such Annuity Payments, on an annual basis
    beginning on the December 31 that precedes the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date (and on each December 31 thereafter), as
    follows:

    • Accumulation Value; divided by
    • The life expectancy of the Annuitant, which depends on the age of the Annuitant, as determined pursuant to the Single Life Expectancy Table under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9.

      For Traditional IRA contracts, Annuity Payments will vary and we determine the amount of such periodic payments, on an annual
    basis beginning on the December 31 that precedes the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date (and on each December 31
    thereafter), as follows:

    • Accumulation Value; plus
    • The actuarial present value of the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit determined pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-6, Q&A 12; divided by
    • The distribution period, which depends on the age of the Annuitant determined pursuant to the Uniform Lifetime Table under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9.

    27



    Under the Table 2 Annuity Plans, if the Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal Benefit is still in effect (see page 20) on the Annuity
    Commencement Date, we will pay the greater amount of:

    • The Annuity Payments (as determined per the above calculation); and
    • The Maximum Annual Withdrawal (see page 18), as determined beginning with the Contract Anniversary that is the Maximum Annuity Commencement Date.

    If the Accumulation Value is less than $2,000 on the Annuity Commencement Date, we will pay such amount in a single lump-sum
    payment.

    We will make the Annuity Payments in monthly installments, unless you deliver Notice to Us directing us to pay at a different
    frequency. If any day that an Annuity Payment is thereafter scheduled to be paid is not a Business Day (e.g., a weekend, or the day
    does not exist in the given month), such Annuity Payment will be paid on the next Business Day. Each Annuity Payment must be at
    least $20. We reserve the right to make the Annuity Payments less frequently, as necessary, to make the Annuity Payments equal to
    at least $20. We may also change the $2,000 and $20 minimums for new annuity elections, if allowed by law, based upon increases
    reflected in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) since September 1, 2012. The MGWB terminates, once
    you begin to receive Annuity Payments under an Annuity Plan.

    The Annuity Payments received under an Annuity Plan will not be less than the payments that would be provided from the application
    of the Cash Surrender Value to a single premium immediate annuity under the same annuity plan offered by us on the Annuity
    Commencement Date.

    Upon application of the Accumulation Value to an Annuity Plan, unless you are eligible for and elect a Table 2 Annuity Plan for a
    Roth IRA, the contract will terminate and will cease to have any further value other than as provided under the Annuity Plan you
    elected.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: For contracts issued New York, Annuity Payments at the time of commencement will not be less than those
    that would otherwise be provided by the application of an amount to purchase any single premium immediate annuity offered by us at
    the time to the same class of Annuitants. If no single premium immediate annuity is offered by us at the time Annuity Payments under
    the contract would otherwise commence, such Annuity Payments will not be less than those that would otherwise be provided by
    applying reasonable current market single premium immediate annuity rates to the same amount.

    Death of the Annuitant
    In the event the Annuitant dies on or after the Annuity Commencement Date, but before all Annuity Payments have been made
    pursuant to the applicable Annuity Plan, we will continue the Annuity Payments until all guaranteed Annuity Payments have been
    made. The Annuity Payments will be paid at least as frequently (and at least as rapidly) as before the Annuitant’s death until the end
    of any guaranteed period certain. We may require satisfactory Proof of Death in regard to the Annuitant before continuing the
    Annuity Payments.

    Under the Table 2 Annuity Plans, so long as the MGWB is not in the Lifetime Automatic Periodic Benefit Status (see page 20), the
    Beneficiary will be entitled to the Death Benefit (see page 24) according to one of the following:

    • In a lump sum on or before the end of the calendar year in which the Annuitant’s death occurs; or
    • Periodic payments, in the same frequency and at least as rapidly as under this Annuity Plan at the time of death, equal to, on an annual basis as determined on the December 31 immediately preceding the Contract Year in which the payments will be made, the Accumulation Value divided by the remaining life expectancy of the Annuitant at the time of death (or the life expectancy of the Beneficiary at the time of the Annuitant’s death if shorter). Life expectancy is determined pursuant to the Single Life Table under Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(a)(9)-9.

    Beneficiaries should consult with a qualified tax adviser about how life expectancy is determined under the Treasury Regulation cited
    above and the impact of that determination will have on the amount of available periodic payments.

    On each December 31 following the first periodic payment of the Death Benefit (the amount of which is determined as per the above),
    we will recalculate the periodic payment using the remaining Accumulation Value and the life expectancy factor used in calculating
    the amount of the prior periodic payment reduced by one.

    28



      Other Important Information

    Reports to Contract Owners
    We will confirm purchase, transfer and Withdrawal transactions usually within 5 Business Days of processing any such transaction.
    At least once a year, we will send you, without charge, a report showing the current Accumulation Value and Cash Surrender Value,
    as well as amounts deducted from, or added to, the Accumulation Value since the last report. This report will show your allocation of
    the Accumulation Value to the Sub-account(s), as well as any other information that is required by law or regulation. We may also
    send you a quarterly statement showing these same values as of the end of the calendar quarter.

    In addition, we will provide you with any other reports, notices or documents that we are required by applicable law to furnish to you.
    We will send these reports to you at your last known address within 60 days after the report date.

    Suspension of Payments
    We reserve the right to suspend or postpone the date of any payment or determination of any value under the contract, beyond the 7
    permitted days by applicable law, on any Business Day when:

    · The NYSE is closed for trading; or 
    · An emergency exists as determined by the SEC so that the sale of securities held in Variable Annuity Account B may not 
    reasonably occur or so that the Company may not reasonably determine the value of Variable Annuity Account B’s net 
    assets.

     

      During such times, we may delay:

    • Determination and payment of the Cash Surrender Value. See page 22;
    • Determination and payment of the Death Benefit. See page 24;
    • Allocation changes to the Accumulation Value; or
    • Application of the Accumulation Value under an Annuity Plan. See page 26.

    Deferred payments may include interest that is required by applicable state law.

    Misstatement Made by Owner in Connection with Purchase of the Contract
    We may require proof of the age and/or sex of the person upon whose life the MGWB, Death Benefit or Annuity Payments are
    determined. If the Owner misstates the age or sex of such person, we reserve the right to adjust (either upward or downward) these
    payments based on the correct age or sex. If an upward adjustment to your benefit payment is required, we will include an amount in
    your next benefit payment representing the past underpayments by us, with interest credited at a rate of 1.5% annually (where
    permitted). If a downward adjustment to your benefit payment is required, we will make a deduction from future benefit payments
    until the past overpayments by us, plus interest at 1.5% annually (where permitted), has been repaid in full by you.

    We reserve the right (where permitted) to void the contract and return the Cash Surrender Value in the event of any material
    misrepresentation made by the Owner in connection with the purchase of the contract.

    Assignment
    Traditional IRA and Roth IRA contracts may not be sold, assigned, discounted or pledged as collateral for a loan or as security for the
    performance of an obligation or for any other purpose.

    Contract Changes
    We have the right to amend, make changes to or modify the contract if required by law, including any amendment, change or
    modification necessary to continue to qualify such contract as an annuity contract under applicable law. Any such amendment,
    change or modification must be in writing. An endorsement added to comply with applicable law does not require your consent but is
    subject to regulatory approval. Any such amendments, changes or modifications will apply uniformly to all contracts affected.

    Right to Examine and Return the Contract
    Subject to state law, you may return the contract for any reason or no reason at all within 15 days of receipt (or 30 days if the contract
    is a replacement contract as defined by applicable state law) and receive the Accumulation Value plus any charges we have deducted,
    which amount may be more or less than the Premium paid because of the investment performance of the Sub-account into which the
    Premium is allocated. During the Right to Examine Period, your Premium will be allocated to the Sub-account that invests in the
    Voya Money Market Portfolio, and at the end of the Right to Examine Period your Accumulation Value will automatically be
    reallocated to the Sub-account that invests in the Voya Retirement Moderate Portfolio. For contracts issued in California, if you

    29



      are age 60 or older on the date the application was signed, you may direct us to allocate your Premium to the Voya Retirement
    Moderate Portfolio during the Right to Examine Period rather than to the Voya Money Market Portfolio.

    If you decide to return the contract, you must deliver it to:

    • Us at Customer Service (the address is specified on page 1); or
    • To your agent/registered representative.

      Non-Waiver
    We may, in our discretion, elect not to exercise a right, privilege or option under the contract. Such election will not constitute our
    waiver of the right to exercise such right, privilege or option at a later date, nor will it constitute a waiver of any provision of the
    contract.

    Special Arrangements
    We may reduce or waive any contract fees or charges for certain group or sponsored arrangements, under special programs, and for
    certain employees, agents, and related persons of our parent corporation and its affiliates. We reduce or waive these items based on
    expected economies, and the variations are based on differences in costs or services. Any reduction or waiver will be applied in a
    non-discriminatory manner.

    Administrative Procedures
    We may accept a request for customer service related to the contract in writing, by telephone, or other approved electronic means,
    subject to our administrative procedures, which vary depending on the type of service requested and may include proper completion of
    certain forms, providing appropriate identifying information, and/or other administrative requirements. We will process your request
    at the Accumulation Value as it is next determined only after you have met all administrative requirements. Please be advised that the
    risk of a fraudulent transaction is increased with telephonic or electronic instructions (for example, a facsimile Withdrawal request
    form), even if appropriate identifying information is provided.

    Other Contracts
    We and our affiliates offer various other products with different features and terms than those found in the contract, which may offer
    the same Sub-account(s). These products may have different benefits, fees and charges, and may or may not better match your needs.
    Please consult your agent/registered representative if you are interested in learning more information about these other products.

    Selling the Contract
    Our affiliate, Directed Services LLC, 1475 Dunwoody Drive, West Chester, Pennsylvania 19380 is the principal underwriter and
    distributor of the contract, as well as of contracts issued by our affiliates, ING USA Annuity and Life Insurance Company and
    ReliaStar Life Insurance Company of New York. Directed Services LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is registered with the
    SEC as a broker/dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory
    Authority, Inc., or FINRA.

    Directed Services LLC does not retain any commissions or compensation that we pay to it for contract sales. Directed Services LLC
    enters into selling agreements with affiliated, including Voya Financial Partners, Inc., and unaffiliated broker/dealers to sell the
    contracts through their registered representatives who are licensed to sell securities and variable insurance products (“selling firms”).
    Selling firms are also registered with the SEC and are FINRA member firms.

    Directed Services LLC pays selling firms compensation for the promotion and sale of the contracts. Registered representatives of the
    selling firms who solicit sales of the contracts typically receive a portion of the compensation paid by Directed Services LLC to such
    selling firm in the form of commissions or other compensation, depending on the agreement between the selling firm and the
    registered representative. This compensation, as well as other incentives or payments, is not paid directly by the Owners of the
    contract or by Variable Annuity Account B. We intend to recoup this compensation and other sales expenses paid to selling firms
    through fees and charges imposed under the contracts.

    Directed Services LLC pays selling firms for contract sales according to one or more schedules. This compensation is generally based
    on a percentage of Premium payments. Selling firms may receive commissions of up to 0.50% of Premium. In addition, selling firms
    may receive ongoing annual compensation of up to 0.50% of all, or a portion, of the values of contracts sold through such selling firm.
    Individual representatives may receive all or a portion of the compensation paid to their selling firm, depending on such selling firm’s
    practices. Commissions and annual compensation, when combined with additional compensation or reimbursement of expenses (as
    more fully described below), could exceed 0.50% of Premium.

    30



      Directed Services LLC has special compensation arrangements with certain selling firms based on such firms’ aggregate or anticipated
    sales of the contracts or other specified criteria. These special compensation arrangements will not be offered to all selling firms, and
    the terms of such arrangements may differ among selling firms based on various factors. Any such compensation payable to a selling
    firm will not result in any additional direct charge to you by us.

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

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

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

    The following is a list of the top 25 selling firms that, during 2013, received the most total dollars of compensation, in the aggregate,
    from us in connection with the sale of registered variable annuity contracts issued by us, ranked from greatest to least:

    1.  ING Financial Partners Inc.  14.  BC Ziegler and Company 
    2.  Wells Fargo Advisors, LLC  15.  Securities America, Inc.

    Directed Services LLC may also compensate wholesalers/distributors, and their sales management personnel, for contract sales within
    the wholesale/distribution channel. This compensation may be based on a percentage of Premiums and/or a percentage of
    Accumulation Value. Directed Services LLC may, at its discretion, pay additional cash compensation to wholesalers/distributors for
    sales by certain broker-dealers or “focus firms.”

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

    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 serve to
    assure that our customers’ identities are properly verified and that premiums and loan repayments are not derived from improper
    sources.

    Under our anti-money laundering program, we may require policy owners, insured persons 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.

    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.

    State Regulation
    We are regulated by the Insurance Department of the State of Connecticut. We are also subject to the insurance laws and regulations
    of all jurisdictions in which we do business. The contract offered by this prospectus has been approved where required by such
    jurisdictions. We are required to submit annual statements of our operations, including financial statements, to the insurance
    departments of the various jurisdictions in which we do business to allow regulators to assess our solvency and compliance with state
    insurance laws and regulations.

    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, Directed Services LLC ability to distribute the contract or upon the separate account.

      Litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and/or Directed Services 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.

      Regulatory Matters. As with other financial services companies, the Company and its affiliates, including Directed Services
    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.

      32



      The outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and estimating
    potential losses requires significant management judgment. 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.

    U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

    Introduction
    The contract is designed to be treated as an annuity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of
    the contract is complex and sometimes uncertain. You should keep the following in mind when reading this section:

    • Your tax position (or the tax position of the designated Beneficiary, as applicable) may influence the U.S. federal taxation of amounts held, or paid out, under the contract;
    • Tax laws change. It is possible that a change in the future could retroactively affect contracts issued in the past, including your contract;
    • This section addresses some, but not all, applicable U.S. federal income tax rules and does not discuss U.S. federal estate and gift tax implications, state and local taxes, taxes of any foreign jurisdiction or any other tax provisions; and
    • No assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service, or 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 about the use of the contract with tax-qualified retirement arrangements, and the 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 taxes affecting the contract or any transactions
    involving the contract.

    Qualified Contracts
    The contracts described in this prospectus may be purchased on a tax-qualified basis (“qualified contracts”). Qualified contracts are
    designed for use by individuals whose premium payments are comprised solely of proceeds from retirement plans, pre-tax
    contributions to Individual Retirement Annuities (“IRA”) or after-tax contributions to a Roth IRA that are intended to qualify for
    special favorable income tax treatment under Section 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively.

    Taxation of Qualified Contracts

    General
    The tax rules applicable to owners of qualified annuity contracts vary according to the type of qualified contract and the specific terms
    and conditions of the qualified contract. Qualified contracts are designed for use by individuals whose premium payments are
    comprised solely of proceeds from retirement plans, pre-tax contributions to IRA or after-tax contributions to a Roth IRA that are
    intended to qualify for special favorable income tax treatment under Sections 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively. The ultimate
    effect of U.S. federal income taxes on the amounts held under a qualified contract, or on annuity payments from a qualified contract,
    depends on the type of qualified contract as well as your particular facts and circumstances. Special favorable tax treatment may be
    available for certain types of contributions and distributions. In addition, certain requirements must be satisfied in purchasing a
    qualified contract with proceeds from a tax-qualified retirement plan in order to continue receiving favorable tax treatment.

    Under U.S. federal income tax laws, earnings on amounts held in qualified contracts used as an IRA or Roth IRA generally are not
    taxed until they are withdrawn. It is not necessary, however, to purchase a qualified contract to obtain the favorable tax treatment
    accorded to an IRA or Roth IRA under Sections 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively. A qualified contract, therefore, does not
    provide any tax benefits beyond the deferral already available to an IRA or Roth IRA under the Code. Qualified contracts do provide
    other features and benefits (such as guaranteed living benefits and/or Death Benefits or the option of lifetime income phase options at
    established rates) that may be valuable to you. You should discuss the alternatives available to you with your financial adviser, taking
    into account the additional fees and expenses you may incur in purchasing a qualified contract, such as the contract.

    33



    Adverse tax consequences may result from:

    • Contributions in excess of specified limits;
    • Distributions before age 59½ (subject to certain exceptions);
    • Distributions that do not conform to specified commencement and minimum distribution rules; and
    • Certain other specified circumstances.

    Some qualified contracts may be subject to additional distribution or other requirements that are not incorporated into your contract.
    No attempt is made to provide more than general information about the use of the contract as a qualified contract. Contract Owners,
    Annuitants and Beneficiaries are cautioned that the rights of any person to any benefits under qualified contracts may be subject to the
    terms and conditions of the retirement plans or programs themselves, regardless of the terms and conditions of the contract. The
    Company is not bound by the terms and conditions of such plans to the extent such terms contradict any language of the contract,
    unless we consent to be so bound.

    Contract Owners and Beneficiaries generally are responsible for determining that contributions, distributions and other transactions
    with respect to the contract comply with applicable law. Therefore, you should consult your legal and tax advisers regarding the
    suitability of the contract for your particular situation.

    Tax Deferral
    The following discussion assumes that a qualified contract is purchased with premium payments that are comprised solely of proceeds
    from retirement plans, pre-tax contributions to IRA or after-tax contributions to a Roth IRA that are intended to qualify for special
    favorable income tax treatment under Sections 408 or 408A of the Code, respectively.

    Individual Retirement Annuities. Section 408 of the Code permits eligible individuals to contribute to an individual retirement
    program known as an Individual Retirement Annuity. IRAs are subject to limits on (i) the amounts that can be contributed, (ii) the
    deductible amount of the contribution and (iii) the time when distributions can begin. Contributions to IRAs must be made in cash or
    as a rollover or a transfer from another eligible plan. Also, distributions from IRAs, individual retirement accounts and other types of
    retirement plans may be “rolled over” on a tax-deferred basis into an IRA. Employers may establish Simplified Employee Pension
    (“SEP”) plans to provide IRA contributions on behalf of their employees. If you make a tax-free rollover of a distribution from an
    IRA, you may not make another tax-free rollover from the IRA within a one-year period. You should be aware that sales of the
    contract for use with IRAs may be subject to special requirements imposed by the IRS.

    The IRS has not reviewed the contract described in this prospectus for qualification as an IRA and has not addressed, in a ruling of
    general applicability, whether the contract’s Death Benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification requirements. You should
    consult with your tax adviser in connection with purchasing the contract as an IRA.

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

    Sales of a contract for use with a Roth IRA may be subject to special requirements imposed by the IRS. The IRS has not reviewed the
    contract described in this prospectus for qualification as a Roth IRA and has not addressed, in a ruling of general applicability,
    whether the contract’s Death Benefit provisions comply with IRS qualification requirements. You should consult with your tax
    adviser in connection with purchasing the contract as a Roth IRA.

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

    Distributions – General
    Certain tax rules apply to distributions from the contract. A distribution is any amount taken from your contract including
    Withdrawals, Annuity Payments, rollovers, exchanges and Death Benefit proceeds. We report the taxable portion of all distributions
    to the IRS.

    34



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

    • The distribution is directly transferred to another IRA or to a plan eligible to receive rollovers as permitted under the Code; or
    • You made after-tax contributions to the IRA (e.g., Roth). In this latter case, the distribution will be taxed according to the rules detailed in the Code.

    Roth IRA – Qualified Distributions. A partial or full distribution of purchase payments to a Roth IRA account and earnings credited
    on those purchase payments will be excludable from income if it is a qualified distribution. A “qualified distribution” from a Roth
    IRA account is defined as a distribution that meets the following requirements:

  • The distribution occurs after the five-year taxable period measured from the earlier of:
     
  • The first taxable year you made a designated Roth contribution to any designated Roth account established for you under the same applicable retirement plan as defined in Code section 402A;
     
  • If a rollover contribution was made from a designated Roth account previously established for you under another applicable retirement plan, the first taxable year for which you made a designated Roth contribution to such previously established account;
     
  • The first taxable year in which you made an in-plan Roth rollover of vested non-Roth amounts otherwise eligible for distribution under the same plan; and
  • The distribution occurs after you attain age 59½, die with payment being made to your beneficiary, or become disabled as
     
  • in the Code.

    A distribution from a Roth account that is not a qualified distribution is includible in gross income under the Code in proportion to
    your investment in the contract (basis) and earnings on the contract.

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

    • You have attained age 59½;
    • You have become “disabled,” as defined in the Code;
    • You have died and the distribution is to the beneficiary of such IRA;
    • The distribution amount is directly transferred into another eligible retirement plan or to an IRA or Roth IRA in accordance with the terms of the Code;
    • The distribution is made due to an IRS levy upon your plan;
    • The withdrawal amount is paid to an alternate payee under a Qualified Domestic relations Order (“QDRO”); or
    • The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution as defined under the Pension Protection Act of 2006.

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

    Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions (IRAs only).
    To avoid certain tax penalties, you and any designated Beneficiary must also meet the minimum distribution requirements imposed by
    the Code. These rules may dictate the following:

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

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

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

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

    35



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

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

    Required Distributions upon Death (IRAs and Roth IRAs Only).
    Different distribution requirements apply to qualified contacts after your death, depending upon if you have been receiving required
    minimum distributions. Further information regarding required distributions upon death may be found in your contract.

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

    If your death occurs before you begin receiving minimum distributions under your contract, your entire balance must be distributed by
    December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the date of your death. For example, if you died on September 1,
    2014, your entire balance must be distributed to the designated Beneficiary by December 31, 2019. However, if distributions begin
    by December 31 of the calendar year following the calendar year of your death, and you have named a designated Beneficiary, then
    payments may be made over either of the following time frames:

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

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

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

      No Designated Beneficiary. If there is no designated Beneficiary, the entire interest generally must be distributed by the end of the
    calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of your death.

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

    Taxation of the MGWB and Annuity Payments.
    Except as otherwise noted below, when a Withdrawal of your Accumulation Value occurs under the MGWB provision of your
    contract, the amount you receive will be treated as ordinary income subject to U.S. federal income tax up to an amount equal to the
    excess, if any, of the contract’s value immediately before the distribution over your investment in the contract at that time.

    Investment in the contract is generally equal to the amount of all contributions to the contract previously included in your gross
    income, less the aggregate amount of non-taxable distributions you previously took from your contract. The income on the contract
    for purposes of calculating the taxable amount of a distribution may be unclear and you should consult with a qualified tax adviser
    about the taxation of MAW payments. In addition, MGWB Periodic Payments after your contract’s value has been reduced to zero
    are taxable as Annuity Payments and subject to the exclusion ratio rules under Section 72(b) of the Code for U.S. federal income tax
    purposes.

    Payments of the MAW under the Table 2 Annuity Plans (see page 26) are designed to be treated as Annuity Payments for withholding
    and tax reporting purposes. A portion of each such Annuity Payment is generally not taxed as ordinary income, and the remainder is
    taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of the 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. Any
    Withdrawals in addition to the Annuity Payments of the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, if permitted, constitute Excess Withdrawals,
    causing a pro rata reduction of the MGWB Base and MAW amount. This reduction will result in a proportional reduction in the non-
    taxable portion of your future MAW payments. Once your investment in the contract has been fully recovered, the full amount of
    each of your future MAW payments would be subject to U.S. federal income tax as ordinary income.

    36



      Regarding Annuity Plan payments, although the U.S. federal income tax consequences may vary depending on the payment option
    elected under an annuity contract, a portion of each annuity payment generally is not taxed as ordinary income, while the remainder is
    taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of an annuity payment generally is determined in a manner that is designed to
    allow the contract owner to recover his, her or its investment in the annuity contract ratably on a tax-free basis over the expected
    stream of annuity payments when annuity payments begin. Once the investment in such contract has been fully recovered, the full
    amount of each subsequent annuity payment will be subject to tax as ordinary income.

    Partial annuitization of your contract may be available. Please consult your tax adviser before electing a partial annuitization.

    IRA Contracts. For IRA contracts, a portion of each such Annuity Payment is generally not taxed as ordinary income, and the
    remainder is taxed as ordinary income. The non-taxable portion of the 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. Once your investment in the contract has been fully recovered, the full amount of each of your future Annuity Payments
    would be subject to federal income tax as ordinary income. Under the MGWB provisions of the contract, any Withdrawals in addition
    to the Maximum Annual Withdrawal, if permitted, constitute Excess Withdrawals, causing a pro rata reduction of the MGWB Base
    and Maximum Annual Withdrawal. This reduction will result in a proportional reduction in the non-taxable portion of your future
    Maximum Annual Withdrawals and MGWB Periodic Payments.

    Roth IRA Contracts. For Roth IRA contracts, as long as you meet the holding and age requirements, your Annuity Payments should
    be federal income tax-free. If the holding and age requirements are not met, the Annuity Payments would be subject to taxation as
    described above for IRA contracts.

    Withholding
    Any taxable distributions under the contract are generally subject to withholding. U.S. federal income tax withholding rates vary
    according to the type of distribution and the recipient’s tax position.

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

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

    Assignment and Other Transfers

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

    Possible Changes in Taxation
    Although the likelihood of changes in tax legislation, regulation, rulings and other interpretations thereof is uncertain, there is always
    the possibility that the tax treatment of the contract could change by such means. It is also possible that any such change could be
    retroactive (i.e., effective before the date of the change). You should consult a tax adviser with respect to legislative and regulatory
    developments and their potential effects on the contract.

    Same-Sex Marriages
    Before June 26, 2013, pursuant to Section 3 of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (“DOMA”), same-sex marriages were not
    recognized for purposes of federal law. On that date the U.S. Supreme Court held in United States v. Windsor that Section 3 of
    DOMA is unconstitutional. While valid same-sex marriages are now recognized under federal law and 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 now available to a
    same-sex spouse, there are still unanswered questions regarding the scope and impact of the Windsor decision. Consequently, if you

    37



      are married to a same-sex spouse you should contact a qualified tax adviser regarding your spouse’s rights and benefits under the
    contract described in this prospectus and your particular tax situation.

    Taxation of Company
    We are taxed as a life insurance company under the 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 Variable Annuity Account B to increase reserves under
    the contracts. Because of this, under existing U.S. 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 Variable Annuity Account B will be first used to reduce any income taxes imposed on such Separate Account before being used by
    the Company.

    In summary, we do not expect that we will incur any U.S. federal income tax liability attributable to Variable Annuity Account B and
    we do not intend to make any provision for such taxes. However, changes in U.S. federal tax laws and/or the interpretation thereof
    may result in our being taxed on income or gains attributable to Variable Annuity Account B. In this case, we may impose a charge
    against Variable Annuity Account B (with respect to some or all of the contracts) to set aside provisions to pay any such taxes. We
    may deduct this amount from Variable Annuity Account B, including from your Accumulation Value invested in the Sub-accounts.

      For ages not shown, appropriate factors will be provided.

    Example:
    Assume that the Annuitant is age 64 when she elects to begin receiving MAW payments and that at age 65 she would be
    eligible to receive single life MAW payments equal to $12,000 annually. Also assume she elects a Joint and Survivor
    MGWB and her spouse is age 66. Using these assumptions, after adjustment of the single life MAW amount at age 65 for
    Early Lifetime Withdrawal Commencement (see page 18) and application of the above Joint and Survivor Equivalency
    Factors, the Annuitant and her spouse will be entitled to MAW payments each year in the amount of $9,804. ($12,000 * 0.95
    (the percentage reduction for Early Lifetime Withdrawal Commencement at age 64) = $11,400; $11,400 * 0.86 (the
    applicable Joint and Survivor Equivalency Factor for an Annuitant age 64 and a spouse age 66) = $9,804.)

    As shown in this example, when making adjustments to the MAW, the MAW amount is first determined at the Annuitant’s
    age 65, that amount is then adjusted for Early or Deferred Lifetime Withdrawal Commencement, and then there is a
    subsequent adjustment using the Equivalency Factors above if a Joint and Survivor MGWB is elected.

    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 stock life insurance company organized under the 
    insurance laws of the State of Connecticut in 1976. 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. 
     
    We are an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Voya Financial, Inc. (“VoyaTM ”), which until April 7, 2014, was 
    known as ING U.S., Inc. In May 2013 the common stock of Voya began trading on the New York Stock Exchange 
    under the symbol “VOYA” and Voya completed its initial public offering of common stock. 
     
    Voya is an affiliate of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”), a global financial institution active in the fields of insurance, 
    banking and asset management. In 2009 ING announced the anticipated separation of its global banking and 
    insurance businesses, including the divestiture of Voya, which together with its subsidiaries, including the 
    Company, constitutes ING’s U.S.-based retirement, investment management and insurance operations. As of March 
    25, 2014, ING’s ownership of Voya was approximately 43%. Under an agreement with the European Commission, 
    ING is required to divest itself of 100% of Voya by the end of 2016. 
    The Company serves as the depositor for the Separate Account. 

     

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

    The assets of the Separate Account are held by the Company. The Separate Account has no custodian. However, the

                                                  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
    sub-accounts 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 sub-account being compared.

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

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

    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, 2013, 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, 2013 and 2012. 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, 2013, 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, 2013, 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, 2013 and 2012, 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 Voya Financial, Inc. (name
    changed from ING U.S., Inc.) (“Voya Financial”), a holding company domiciled in the
    State of Delaware.

    In 2009, ING announced the anticipated separation of its global banking and insurance
    businesses, including the divestiture of Voya Financial, which together with its
    subsidiaries, including the Company, constitutes ING's U.S.-based retirement, investment
    management, and insurance operations. On May 2, 2013, the common stock of Voya
    Financial began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “VOYA.”
    On May 7, 2013 and May 31, 2013, Voya Financial completed its initial public offering
    of common stock, including the issuance and sale by Voya Financial of 30,769,230 shares
    of common stock and the sale by ING Insurance International B.V. (“ING International”),
    an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of ING Groep N.V. (“ING”) and previously the sole
    stockholder of Voya Financial, of 44,201,773 shares of outstanding common stock of
    Voya Financial (collectively, “the IPO”). On September 30, 2013, ING International
    transferred all of its shares of Voya Financial common stock to ING.

    On October 29, 2013, ING completed a sale of 37,950,000 shares of common stock of
    Voya Financial in a registered public offering (“Secondary Offering”), reducing ING's
    ownership of Voya Financial to 57%.

    On March 25, 2014, ING completed a sale of 30,475,000 shares of common stock of
    Voya Financial in a registered public offering. On March 25, 2014, pursuant to the terms
    of a share repurchase agreement between ING and Voya Financial, Voya Financial
    acquired 7,255,853 shares of its common stock from ING (the “Direct Share Buyback”)
    (the offering and the Direct Share Buyback collectively, the “Transactions”). Upon
    completion of the Transactions, ING’s ownership of Voya Financial was reduced to
    approximately 43%.

    On April 11, 2013, plans to rebrand ING U.S., Inc. as Voya Financial were announced,
    and in January 2014, additional details regarding the operational and legal work
    associated with the rebranding were announced. On April 7, 2014, ING U.S., Inc.
    changed its legal name to Voya Financial, Inc.; and based on current expectations, in
    May 2014 its Investment Management and Employee Benefits businesses will begin
    using the Voya Financial brand. In September 2014, Voya Financial’s remaining
    businesses will begin using the Voya Financial brand and all remaining Voya Financial
    legal entities that currently have names incorporating the “ING” brand, including the
    Company, will change their names to reflect the Voya brand. Voya Financial anticipates
    that the process of changing all marketing materials, operating materials and legal entity

    Notes to Financial Statements

      names containing the word “ING” or “Lion” to the new brand name will take
    approximately 24 months.

    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, 2013, the Account had 122 investment divisions (the “Divisions”), 90
    of which invest in independently managed mutual funds and 32 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, 2013 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.

    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

    91



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

    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.

    Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

    In June 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting
    Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08, “Financial Services-Investment Companies
    (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope,
    Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2013-08”), which provides
    comprehensive guidance for assessing whether an entity is an investment company and
    requires an investment company to measure noncontrolling ownership interests in other
    investment companies at fair value. ASU 2013-08 also requires an entity to disclose that
    it is an investment company and any changes to that status, as well as information about
    financial support provided or required to be provided to investees.

    The provisions of ASU 2013-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods in
    years beginning after December 15, 2013, and should be applied prospectively for entities
    that are investment companies upon the effective date of the amendments. The Account is
    currently in the process of assessing the requirements of ASU 2013-08, but does not
    expect ASU 2013-08 to have an impact on its net assets or results of operations.

    Subsequent Events

    The Account has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through the
    date the financial statements as of December 31, 2013 and for the years ended
    December 31, 2013 and 2012, were issued.

    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

    92



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

      (“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, 2013 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, 2013. The Account had no financial liabilities as of
    December 31, 2013.

    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:

    93



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

      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 1.50% 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 charge to cover administrative expenses of the Account is deducted at an annual rate of
    0.15% of the assets attributable to the Contracts. These charges are assessed through the
    redemption of units.

    Contract Maintenance Charges

    An annual Contract maintenance fee of up to $80 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.

    Other Contract Charges

    Under the Fixed/Variable Premium Immediate Annuity contract, an additional annual
    charge of 2.00% is deducted daily from the accumulation values for contract owners who
    select the Guaranteed Minimum Income feature and Minimum Guaranteed Withdrawal
    Benefit, for Deferred Variable Annuity contracts, an additional annual charge of up to
    0.50% is deducted daily from the accumulation value for amounts invested in the ING
    GET U.S. Core Portfolio Funds. In addition, an annual charge of up to 0.50% is deducted
    daily from the accumulation values for 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.

    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, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013. 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, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations
    and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
    accounting principles.

    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") provide 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.

    In 2009, ING Groep N.V. ("ING Group" or "ING"), a global financial services holding company based in The Netherlands, with
    American Depository Shares listed on the New York Stock Exchange, announced the anticipated separation of its global banking
    and insurance businesses, including the divestiture of ING U.S., Inc., which together with its subsidiaries, including the Company,
    constituted ING's U.S.-based retirement, investment management and insurance operations. On May 2, 2013, the common stock
    of ING U.S., Inc. began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "VOYA." On May 7, 2013 and May 31, 2013,
    ING U.S., Inc. completed its initial public offering of common stock, including the issuance and sale by ING U.S., Inc. of 30,769,230
    shares of common stock and the sale by ING Insurance International B.V. ("ING International"), an indirect, wholly owned
    subsidiary of ING Group and previously the sole stockholder of ING U.S., Inc., of 44,201,773 shares of outstanding common
    stock of ING U.S., Inc. (collectively, "the IPO"). On September 30, 2013, ING International transferred all of its shares of ING
    U.S., Inc. common stock to ING Group.

    On October 29, 2013, ING Group completed a sale of 37,950,000 shares of common stock of ING U.S., Inc. in a registered public
    offering, reducing ING Group's ownership of ING U.S., Inc. to 57%.

    On March 25, 2014, ING Group completed a sale of 30,475,000 shares of common stock of ING U.S., Inc. in a registered public
    offering. On March 25, 2014, pursuant to the terms of a share repurchase agreement between ING Group and ING U.S., Inc.,
    ING U.S., Inc. acquired 7,255,853 shares of its common stock from ING Group (the "Direct Share Buyback") (the offering and
    the Direct Share Buyback collectively, the "Transactions"). Upon completion of the Transactions, ING Group's ownership of ING
    U.S., Inc. was reduced to approximately 43%.

    ILIAC is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Lion Connecticut Holdings Inc. ("Lion" or "the Parent"), which is a direct, wholly
    owned subsidiary of ING U.S., Inc.

    On April 11, 2013, ING U.S., Inc. announced plans to rebrand as Voya Financial, and in January 2014, ING U.S., Inc. announced
    additional details regarding the operational and legal work associated with the rebranding. Based on current expectations, ING
    U.S., Inc. will change its legal name to Voya Financial, Inc. in April 2014; and in May 2014 its Investment Management and
    Employee Benefits businesses will begin using the Voya Financial brand. In September 2014, ING U.S.’s remaining businesses
    will begin using the Voya Financial brand and all remaining ING U.S. legal entities that currently have names incorporating the
    “ING” brand, including the Company, will change their names to reflect the Voya brand. ING U.S., Inc. anticipates that the process
    of changing all marketing materials, operating materials and legal entity names containing the word “ING” or “Lion” to the new
    brand name will take approximately 24 months.

    The Company offers qualified and nonqualified annuity contracts and funding agreements 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 "tax exempt markets") 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 and funding agreements.
    Company products also include programs offered to qualified retirement plans and nonqualified deferred compensation plans that

    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 have been eliminated.

    Certainimmaterialreclassificationshavebeenmadetoprioryearfinancialinformationtoconformtothecurrentyearclassifications.

    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, 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 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

    C-11



    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)

    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 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 and 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
    (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.

    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, 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 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 certain transactions, a lending agent may be used and the agent may retain some or all of the collateral
    deposited by the borrower and transfer the remaining collateral to the Company. 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 periodicallyevaluates its available-for-sale investments to determinewhether 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).

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

    n When determining collectability and the period over which the value is expected to recover for U.S. and foreign corporate 
    securities, foreign government securities and state and political subdivision securities, 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. 
    n 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; consideration of the payment terms of the underlying assets backing 
    a particular security; and the payment priority within the tranche structure of the security. 
    n 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 scenario-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. 
    n 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. 

     

    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
    toreturncashcollateralarisingfromderivativeinstrumentsexecutedwiththesamecounterpartyunderamasternettingarrangement.

    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.

    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)

    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.

      n 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).

      n  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 immediately 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).

    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.

    In addition, the Company has entered into a reinsurance agreement, accounted for under the deposit method, that contains an
    embedded derivative, the fair value of which is based on the change in the fair value of the underlying assets held in trust. The
    embedded derivative is included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and changes in the fair value of the
    embedded derivative are recorded in Interest credited and other benefit to contract owners/policyholders 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 as follows:

      Estimated Useful Lives 
    Buildings  40 years 
    Furniture and fixtures  5 years 
    Leasehold improvements  10 years, or the life of the lease, whichever is shorter

    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 and certain costs related directly to successful acquisition activities. Such costs
    consist principally of 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
    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,
    fee income, 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").

    Recoverability testing is performed for current issue year products to determine if gross revenues are sufficient to cover DAC and
    VOBA estimated benefits and expenses. In subsequent years, the Company performs testing to assess the recoverability of DAC
    and VOBA balances on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate a potential loss recognition issue exists. If
    DAC or VOBA are not deemed recoverable from future gross profits, changes will be applied against DAC or VOBA balances
    before an additional reserve is established.

    Internal Replacements
    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

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

    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.

    Assumptions
    Changes in assumptions can have a significant impact on DAC and VOBA balances, amortization rates and results of operations.
    Assumptions are management's best estimate of future outcome.

    Several assumptions are considered significant in the estimation of gross profits associated with the Company's variable products.
    One significant assumption is the assumed return associated with the variable account performance. To reflect the volatility in
    the equity markets, this assumption involves a combination of near-term expectations and long-term assumptions regarding market
    performance. The overall return on the variable account is dependent on multiple factors, including the relative mix of the
    underlying sub-accounts among bond funds and equity funds, as well as equity sector weightings. The Company's practice assumes
    that intermediate-term appreciation in equity markets reverts to the long-term appreciation in equity markets ("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 look-forward period.

    Other significant assumptions used in the estimation of gross profits for products with credited rates include interest spreads and
    credit losses. Estimated gross profits of variable annuity contracts are sensitive to estimated policyholder behavior assumptions,
    such as surrender, lapse and annuitization rates.

    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. Reserves
    also include estimates of unpaid claims, as well as claims that the Company believes have been incurred but have not yet been
    reported as of the balance sheet date. The principal assumptions used to establish liabilities for future policy benefits are based on
    Company experience and periodically reviewed against industry standards. These assumptions include mortality, morbidity, policy
    lapse, contract renewal, payment of subsequent premiums or deposits by the contract owner, retirement, investment returns,
    inflation, benefit utilization 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 on 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 8.3%.

    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 and certain annuity product guarantees, as follows:

    • 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 
    8.0% for the years 2013, 2012 and 2011. 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. 
    • For fixed-indexed annuity contracts ("FIAs"), the aggregate initial liability is equal to the deposit received, plus a bonus, 
    if applicable, and is split into a host component and an embedded derivative component. Thereafter, the host liability 
    accumulates at a set interest rate, and the embedded derivative liability is recognized at fair value.

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

    Product Guarantees and Additional Reserves
    The Company calculates additional reserve liabilities for certain variable annuity guaranteed benefits and variable funding
    agreements. The Company periodically evaluates its estimates 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. Changes
    in, or deviations from, the assumptions used can significantly affect the Company's reserve levels and related results of operations.

    GMDB: Reserves for annuity guaranteed minimum death benefits ("GMDB") 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. Reserves for GMDB are recorded in Future policy
    benefits and contract owner account balances on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in reserves for GMDB are reported
    in Interest credited and other benefits to contract owner/policyholders in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    FIA: FIAs contain embedded derivatives that are measured at estimated fair value separately from the host contracts. Such
    embedded derivatives are recorded in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances, with changes in estimated fair
    value, along with attributed fees collected or payments made, are reported in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the
    Statements of Operations.

    The estimated fair value of the FIA contracts is based on the present value of the excess of interest payments to the contract owners
    over the growth in the minimum guaranteed contract value. The excess interest payments are determined as the excess of projected
    index driven benefits over the projected guaranteed benefits. The projection horizon is over the anticipated life of the related
    contracts, which takes into account best estimate actuarial assumptions, such as partial withdrawals, full surrenders, deaths,
    annuitizations and maturities.

    Stabilizer and MCG: Products with guaranteed credited rates treat the guarantee as an embedded derivative for Stabilizer products
    and a stand-alone derivative for managed custody guarantee products ("MCG"). 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 FIA and 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 discount rate used to determine the fair value of FIAand Stabilizer embedded derivative liabilities and the stand-alone derivative
    for MCG includes an adjustment to reflect the risk that these obligations will not be fulfilled ("nonperformance risk").

    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.

    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)

    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.

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

    n Such separate accounts are legally recognized; 
    n Assets supporting the contract liabilities are legally insulated from the Company's general account liabilities; 
    n Investments are directed by the contract owner or participant; and 
    n 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

    Long-term debt 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

    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 owner. 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

    when incurred.

    Amounts received as payment for investment-type, fixed annuities, payout contracts without life contingencies and FIA contracts
    are reported as deposits to contract owner account balances. Revenues from these contracts consist primarily of fees assessed
    against the contract owner account balance for mortality and policy administration charges and are reported in Fee income.
    Surrender charges are reported in Other revenue. 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 ING U.S.,
    Inc. 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:

    n The nature and character of the deferred tax assets and liabilities; 
    n Taxable income in prior carryback years; 
    n Projected future taxable income, exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; 
    n Projected future reversals of existing temporary differences; 
    n The length of time carryforwards can be utilized; 
    n Prudent and feasible tax planning strategies the Company would employ to avoid a tax benefit from expiring unused; 
    n The nature, frequency and severity of cumulative U.S. GAAP losses in recent years; and 
    n 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.

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

    Reinsurance

    The Company utilizes reinsurance agreements in most aspects of its insurance business to reduce its exposure to large losses. 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. The assumptions used
    to account for long-duration reinsurance agreements are consistent with those used for the underlying contracts. Ceded future
    policy benefits and contract owner account balances are reported gross on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Long-duration: 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.

    If the Company determines that a reinsurance agreement does not expose the reinsurer to a reasonable possibility of a significant
    loss from insurance risk, the Company records the agreement using the deposit method of accounting. Interest is recorded as Other
    revenues or Other expenses, as appropriate.

    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
    Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets and are stated net of allowances for uncollectible reinsurance. Amounts currently
    recoverable and payable under reinsurance agreements are included in Reinsurance recoverable and Other liabilities, respectively.
    Such assets and liabilities relating to reinsurance agreements with the same reinsurer are recorded net on the Consolidated 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.

    The Company utilizes a reinsurance agreement, accounted for under the deposit method, to manage reserve and capital requirements
    in connection with a portion of its deferred annuities business. The agreement contains and embedded derivative whose carrying
    value is estimated based on the change in the fair value of the assets supporting the funds withheld under the agreement.

    The Company currently has a significant concentration of ceded reinsurance with a subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation
    ("Lincoln") arising from the disposition of its individual life insurance business.

    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

    Derivatives and Hedging
    In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-10,
    "Derivatives and Hedging (Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC")Topic 815): Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap
    Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes" ("ASU 2013-10"), which
    permits an entity to use the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate ("OIS") to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting
    purposes. In addition, the guidance removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges.

    The provisions of ASU 2013-10 were adopted by the Company on July 17, 2013 for qualifying new or redesigned hedges entered
    into on or after that date. The adoption had no effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

    Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs

    Accounting for Costs Associated with Acquiring or Renewing Insurance Contracts
    In October 2010, the FASB issuedASU 2010-26, "Financial Services - Insurance (ASCTopic 944):Accounting for CostsAssociated
    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
    AOCI.

    Presentation and Disclosure

    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 (ASC Topic 210): Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about
    OffsettingAssets and Liabilities" ("ASU 2013-01"), which clarifies that the scope ofASU 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 were adopted retrospectively by the Company on January 1, 2013. 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 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 are included in "Note 3. Derivative Financial
    Instruments."

    Disclosures about Amounts Reclassified out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
    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

    C-22



    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)

    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 were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2013. 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 2013-02, including comparative period disclosures, are included in "Note 9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive
    Income (Loss)."

    Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

    Income Taxes
    In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Income Taxes (ASC Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit
    When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists" ("ASU 2013-11"), which
    clarifies that:

    • An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, except,
    • An unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and not be combined with a deferred tax asset (i) to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or (ii) the tax law does not require the entity to use, or the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such a purpose.
    • The assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is available is based on the unrecognized tax benefit and deferred tax asset that exist at the reporting date and should be made presuming disallowance of the tax position at the reporting date.

    The provisions of ASU 2013-11 are effective for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
    2013, and should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. The Company does not
    expect ASU 2013-11 to have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, as the guidance is consistent
    with that currently applied.

    Joint and Several Liability Arrangements
    In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, "Liabilities (ASC Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several
    Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date" ("ASU 2013-04"), which
    requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liable arrangements for which the total amount of the
    obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of (1) the amount the reporting entity agreed
    to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and (2) any additional amount it expects to pay on behalf of its co-
    obligors. ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information
    about those obligations.

    The provisions of ASU 2013-04 are effective for years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15,
    2013.Theamendmentsshouldbeappliedretrospectivelyforthoseobligationsresultingfromjointandseveralliabilityarrangements
    that exist at the beginning of an entity's year of adoption. The Company does not expect ASU 2013-04 to have an impact on its
    financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, as the Company does not have any fixed obligations under joint and several
    liable arrangements as of December 31, 2013.

    Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health Insurers
    In July 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-06, "Other Expenses (Topic 720): Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health
    Insurers" ("ASU 2011-06"), which specifies how health insurers should recognize and classify the annual fee imposed by the
    Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act as amended by the Health Care Education Reconciliation Act (the "Acts"). The liability

    ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company and Subsidiaries

    Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    for the fee should be estimated and recorded in full at the time the entity provides qualifying health insurance in the year in which
    the fee is payable, with a corresponding deferred cost that is amortized to expense.

    The provisions of ASU 2011-06 are effective for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2013, when the fee initially becomes
    effective. The Company does not expect ASU 2011-06 to have an impact on its financial condition, results of operations or cash
    flows, as the amount of net premium written for qualifying health insurance by the Company is expected to be below the $25.0
    threshold as defined by the Acts and, thus, not subject to the fee.

    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 FVO. Available-for-sale securities are reported at fair value and unrealized capital gains (losses) on these securities are

    recorded directly in 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 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.

    The Company invests in various categories of CMOs, including CMOs that are not agency-backed, that are subject to different
    degrees of risk from changes in interest rates and defaults. The principal risks inherent in holding CMOs are prepayment and
    extension risks related to 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, 2013 and 2012, approximately 50.4%
    and 41.8%, respectively, of the Company's CMO holdings, such as interest-only or principal-only strips, were invested in those
    types of CMOs that are subject to more prepayment and extension risk than traditional CMOs.

    Repurchase Agreements

    As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any securities pledged in dollar rolls, repurchase agreement
    transactions or reverse repurchase agreements.

    Securities Lending

    As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the fair value of loaned securities was $97.6 and $180.2, respectively, and is included in
    Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, collateral retained by the lending
    agent and invested in liquid assets on the Company's behalf was $102.7 and $186.1, respectively, and recorded in Short-term
    investments under securities loan agreement, including collateral delivered on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of
    December 31, 2013 and 2012, liabilities to return collateral of $102.7 and $186.1, respectively, were 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 $1.0 and $1.3 as of December 31,
    2013 and 2012, 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.

    OnJune4,2012,theCompanyenteredintoanagreementtosellcertaingeneralaccountprivateequitylimitedpartnershipinvestment
    interest holdings with a carrying value of $331.9 as of March 31, 2012. These assets were sold 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 pre-tax 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 RMBS, 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. The Company's involvement with these entities is limited to that of
    a passive investor. The Company has no unilateral right to appoint or remove the servicer, special servicer, or investment manager,
    which are generally viewed to have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the securitization entities'
    economic performance, in any of these entities, nor does the Company function in any of these roles. The Company, through its
    investments or other arrangements, does not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity
    that could potentially be significant to the entity. Therefore, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and will not consolidate
    any of the RMBS, CMBS and ABS entities in which it holds investments. These investments are accounted for as investments
    available-for-sale as described in "Note 1. Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies" and unrealized
    capital gains (losses) on these securities are recorded directly in AOCI, except for certain RMBS which are accounted for under
    the FVO for which changes in fair value are reflected in Other net realized gains (losses) in the Consolidated Statements of
    Operations. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss on these structured investments is limited to the amount of its investment.

    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 reflecting current home prices 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-ARMBS) 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 on 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.

    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 restructuring 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, 2013, the Company had no new private placement troubled debt
    restructuringsandhad20newcommercialmortgageloantroubleddebtrestructuringswithapre-modificationandpost-modification
    carrying value of $39.4. The 20 commercial mortgage loans comprise a portfolio of cross-defaulted, cross-collateralized individual
    loans, which are owned by the same sponsor. Between the date of the troubled debt restructurings and December 31, 2013, these
    loans have repaid $1.9 in principal. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not have any new private placement or commercial
    mortgage loan troubled debt restructurings.

    As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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 held for investment, 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 a review
    of loan-specific credit quality, property characteristics and market trends. Loan performance is monitored on a loan specific basis
    through the review of submitted appraisals, operating statements, rent revenues and annual inspection reports, among other items.
    This review ensures properties are performing at a consistent and acceptable level to secure the debt. The components to evaluate
    debt service coverage are received and reviewed at least annually to determine the level of risk.

    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.

    There were no mortgage loans in the Company's portfolio in process of foreclosure as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. There
    were no loans 90 days or more past due or loans in arrears with respect to principal and interest as of December 31, 2013 and

    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.

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

    Net investment income  $ 1,367.0  $ 1,348.8  $ 1,420.9 

     

    As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any investments in fixed maturities that did not produce net
    investment income. Fixed maturities are moved to a non-accrual status when the investment defaults.

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

    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 qualifying hedging relationships as well as 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.

    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)

    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 mortgage-backed securities as an economic hedge against rate movements.
    The Company utilizes forward contracts in non-qualifying hedging relationships.

    Futures: The Company 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 FIA 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. 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. In addition, the Company has entered into a reinsurance agreement, accounted for under the deposit method, which
    contains an embedded derivative whose fair value is based on the change in the fair value of the underlying assets held in trust.
    The embedded derivatives for certain fixed maturity instruments, certain annuity products and coinsurance with funds withheld
    arrangements are reported with the host contract in investments, in Future policy benefits and contract owner account balances
    and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives within
    fixed maturity investments and within annuity products are recorded in Other net realized capital gains (losses) in the Consolidated
    Statements of Operations. Changes in fair value of embedded derivatives with reinsurance agreements are reported in Interest
    credited and other policyholder benefit to contract owners/policyholders in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    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
    toreturncashcollateralarisingfromderivativeinstrumentsexecutedwiththesamecounterpartyunderamasternettingarrangement,
    which provides the Company with the legal right of offset.

    N/A - Not Applicable

    Based on the notional amounts, a substantial portion of the Company’s derivative positions was not designated or did not qualify
    as part of a hedging relationship as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. The Company utilizes derivative contracts mainly to hedge
    exposure to variability in cash flows, interest rate risk, credit risk, foreign exchange risk and equity market risk. The majority of
    derivatives used by the Company are designated as product hedges, which hedge the exposure arising from insurance liabilities
    or guarantees embedded in the contracts the Company offers through various product lines. These derivatives do not qualify for
    hedge accounting as they do not meet the criteria of being “highly effective” as outlined in ASC Topic 815, but do provide an
    economic hedge, which is in line with the Company’s risk management objectives. The Company also uses derivatives contracts
    to hedge its exposure to various risks associated with the investment portfolio. The Company does not seek hedge accounting
    treatment for certain of these derivatives as they generally do not qualify for hedge accounting due to the criteria required under
    the portfolio hedging rules outlined inASC Topic 815. The Company also uses credit default swaps coupled with other investments
    in order to produce the investment characteristics of otherwise permissible investments which do not qualify as effective accounting
    hedges under ASC Topic 815.

    Under the terms of the Company's Over-The-Counter ("OTC") Derivative International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
    ("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 Credit Support Annex ("CSA"). The terms of the CSA call for the Company to pay
    interest on any cash received equal to the Federal Funds rate. To the extent cash collateral is received and delivered, it is included

    Credit Default Swaps

    The Company has entered into various credit default swaps. When credit default swaps are sold, the Company assumes credit
    exposure to certain assets that it does not own. Credit default swaps may also be purchased to reduce credit exposure in the
    Company’s portfolio. Credit default swaps involve a transfer of credit risk from one party to another in exchange for periodic
    payments. The Company has 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 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. As of December 31, 2013, the fair
    value of credit default swaps of $8.1 were included in Derivatives assets and there were no Derivatives liabilities on the Consolidated
    Balance Sheets. 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,
    2013 and 2012, the maximum potential future exposure to the Company was $384.0 and $329.0 in credit default swaps. These
    instruments are typically written for a maturity period of five years and contain no recourse provisions. 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.

    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, pursuant to the Fair Value Measurements and disclosures of the ASC Topic 820. 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
    that 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

    C-45



    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)

    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, 2013, $190.5 and $15.9 billion of a total fair value of $20.7 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, 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.

    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.

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

    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.

    Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term investments and Short-term investments under securities loan agreement: The carrying
    amounts for cash reflect the assets' fair values. The fair values for cash equivalents and 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 contract value. 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. 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 for 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.

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

    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.

    Embedded derivative on reinsurance: The carrying value of the embedded derivative is estimated based upon the change in the
    fair value of the assets supporting the funds withheld under the reinsurance agreement, accounted for under the deposit method.
    As the fair value of the assets held in trust is based on a quoted market price (Level 1), the fair value of the embedded derivative
    is based on market observable inputs and is classified as Level 2.

    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, 2013 and 2012. 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.

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

    For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the transfers in and out of Level 3 for fixed maturities including securities
    pledged, equity securities and separate accounts 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.

    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 applied 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 and 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 Company experience may be
    limited on certain products.

    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)

    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.

    Policy loans: The fair value of policy loans approximates 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 is 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.

    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.

    C-55



    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)

    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, 2013, the account value for the separate account contracts with guaranteed minimum benefits was $38.0
    billion. The additional liability recognized related to minimum guarantees was $7.1. 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.

    The aggregate fair value of fixed income securities and equity securities, including mutual funds, supporting separate accounts
    with additional insurance benefits and minimum investment return guarantees as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $9.2 billion
    and $9.3 billion, respectively.

    7. Reinsurance

    At December 31, 2013, 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, 2013, 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 agreement.

    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 were maintained for this contract as of December 31,
    2013 and 2012.

    Reinsurance recoverable was comprised of the following as of the dates indicated:       
      December 31,   
      2013    2012 
    Claims recoverable from reinsurers  $ 2,016.7  $ 2,153.8

    Other  0.3    0.2 
    Total  $ 2,016.6  $ 2,153.7 

     

    Premiums were reduced by the following amounts for reinsurance ceded for the periods indicated.

    8. Capital Contributions, Dividends and Statutory Information

    Connecticut insurance law imposes restrictions on a Connecticut insurance company's ability to pay dividends to its parent. These
    restrictions are based in part on the prior year's statutory income and surplus. In general, dividends up to specified levels are
    considered ordinary and may be paid without prior approval. Dividends in larger amounts, or extraordinary dividends, are subject
    to approval by the Connecticut Insurance Commissioner.

    Under Connecticut insurance law, an extraordinary dividend or distribution is defined as a dividend or distribution that, together
    with other dividends or distributions made 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, 2013, following receipt of required approval from the Connecticut Insurance Department
    (the "Department") and consummation of the IPO of ING U.S., Inc., ILIAC paid an extraordinary dividend of $174.0 to its Parent.
    In addition, on December 9, 2013, ILIAC paid an ordinary dividend of $90.0 to its Parent. During the year ended December 31,
    2012, ILIAC paid an extraordinary distribution of $340.0 to its Parent. During the year ended December 31, 2011, ILIAC did not
    pay a dividend on its common stock or distribution of capital to its Parent. On December 16, 2013, October 15, 2012 and December
    22, 2011, IFA paid a $60.0, $90.0 and $65.0 dividend, respectively, to ILIAC, its parent. During the year ended December 31,
    2013, DSL did not pay any dividend to ILIAC. On December 21, 2012, DSL paid a $15.0 dividend to ILIAC, its parent. During
    the year ended December 31, 2011, DSL did not pay any dividend to ILIAC.

    During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 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.

    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 National Association of Insurance Commissioners ("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
    depending on specific rules regarding admissibility. The most significant non-admitted assets of the Company are typically deferred
    tax assets.

    Statutory net income (loss) was $175.2, $261.6 and $194.4, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
    Statutory capital and surplus was $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

    Income taxes were different from the amount computed by applying the federal income tax rate to income (loss) before income
    taxes for the following reasons for the periods indicated:

      Year Ended December 31,   
      2013  2012    2011 
    Income (loss) before income taxes  $ 490.5  $ 516.6  $ 315.3 
    Tax rate  35.0%  35.0%    35.0% 
    Income tax expense (benefit) at federal statutory rate  171.7  180.8    110.4 
    Tax effect of:         
    Dividends received deduction  (26.6)  (18.6)    (37.0) 
    Valuation allowance  67.6      (87.0) 
    Audit settlements  (0.3)  (0.3)    3.7 
    Prior year tax    28.1     
    Other  (5.4)  1.2    4.9 
    Income tax expense (benefit)  $ 207.0  $ 191.2  $ (5.0) 

     

    For 2012, the difference between the income tax provision as computed and the federal statutory rate was primarily due to a
    decrease in our estimate of certain deferred tax assets. Based on its 2011 tax return as filed, the Company decreased its estimated
    deferred tax assets by $28.1.

    Temporary Differences

    The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of the dates indicated,
    are presented below.

        December 31,     
      2013      2012   
    Deferred tax assets           
    Insurance reserves  $ 166.7  $ 255.4 
    Investments    231.8      87.5 
    Postemployment benefits    67.3      50.6 
    Compensation and benefits    35.8      44.4 
    Other assets          24.5 
    Total gross assets before valuation allowance    501.6      462.4 
    Less: Valuation allowance    11.1      11.1 
    Assets, net of valuation allowance    490.5      451.3 
     
    Deferred tax liabilities           
    Net unrealized investment (gains) losses    (310.5)      (482.4) 
    Deferred policy acquisition costs    (124.1)      (143.8) 
    Value of business acquired    (243.8)      (332.2) 
    Other liabilities    (2.2)       
    Total gross liabilities    (680.6)      (958.4) 
    Net deferred income tax asset (liability)  $ (190.1)  $ (507.1) 

     

    Valuation allowances are provided when it is considered unlikely that deferred tax assets will be realized. As of December 31,
    2013 and 2012, the Company had valuation allowances of $130.4 and $62.8 respectively, that were allocated to continuing

    operations, and $(119.3) and $(51.7) as of the end of each period that were allocated to Other comprehensive income. As of
    December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had a full valuation allowance of $11.1 related to foreign tax credits, the benefit of
    which is uncertain.

    For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no total increases (decreases) in the valuation allowance. For the
    year ended December 31, 2011 there was a (decrease) of $(109.0). In the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there
    were increases (decreases) of $67.6, $0.0 and $(87.0), respectively, in the valuation allowance that were allocated to operations.
    In the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, there were increases (decreases) of $(67.6), $0.0 and $(22.0), respectively,
    that were allocated to Other comprehensive income.

    Tax Sharing Agreement

    The Company had a payable to ING U.S., Inc. of $74.1 and $32.1 for federal income taxes as of December 31, 2013 and 2012,
    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 Topic 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 benefit of losses generated.

    Unrecognized Tax Benefits

    Reconciliations of the change in the unrecognized income tax benefits for the periods indicated are as follows:

        Year Ended December 31,     
      2013    2012    2011   
    Balance at beginning of period  $ —  $ —  $ 23.0 
    Additions for tax positions related to prior years            4.5 
    Reductions for tax positions related to prior years            (4.5) 
    Reductions for settlements with taxing authorities            (23.0) 
    Balance at end of period  $ —  $ —  $ — 

     

    The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

    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, 2013 and 2012.

    Tax Regulatory Matters

    During the first quarter 2013, the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") completed its examination of ING U.S., Inc.'s return for tax
    year 2011. The 2011 audit settlement did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. ING U.S., Inc. is
    currently under audit by the IRS, and it is expected that the examination of tax year 2012 will be finalized within the next twelve
    months. ING U.S., Inc. and the IRS have agreed to participate in the Compliance Assurance Program for the tax years 2012 through
    2014.

    11. Benefit Plans

    Defined Benefit Plan

    ING North America Insurance Corporation ("ING North America") sponsors the ING U.S. 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.

    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 IRS 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, 2013, 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"). The costs allocated to the Company for its employees' participation
    in the Retirement Plan were $6.5, $19.1 and $24.6 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively and are
    included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

    Defined Contribution Plan

    ING North America sponsors the ING U.S. Savings Plan and ESOP (the "Savings Plan"). Substantially all employees of ING
    NorthAmerica and its affiliates (excluding certain employees, including but not limited to CareerAgents) 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 November 4, 2013. 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.
    INGNorthAmericamatchessuchpre-taxcontributions,uptoamaximumof6.0%ofeligiblecompensation. Matchingcontributions
    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 $10.8, $9.7 and $9.8, for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 NorthAmerica 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.

    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)

    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.

    Obligations and Funded Status

    The following table summarizes the benefit obligations for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan for the periods presented:

      Year Ended December 31, 
      2013      2012 
    Change in benefit obligation:         
    Benefit obligation, January 1  $ 97.2  $ 98.7 
    Interest cost    3.8    4.4 
    Benefits paid    (7.8)    (9.3) 
    Actuarial (gains) losses on obligation    (9.1)    3.4 
    Benefit obligation, December 31  $ 84.1  $ 97.2 
     
    Amounts recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of:         
        December 31,   
      2013      2012 
    Accrued benefit cost  $ (84.1)  $ (97.2) 
    Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss):         
    Prior service cost (credit)    (6.1)    (7.3) 
    Net amount recognized  $ (90.2)  $ (104.5) 

     

    Assumptions

    The weighted-average assumptions used in the measurement of the December 31, 2013 and 2012 benefit obligation for the SERPs
    and Agents Non-Qualified Plan, were as follows:

      2013    2012   
    Discount rate    4.95%    4.05% 
    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 4.95% was the appropriate
    discount rate as of December 31, 2013, to calculate the Company's accrued benefit liability.

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

    The weighted-average assumptions used in calculating the net pension cost were as follows:         
      2013  2012    2011   
    Discount rate  4.05%    4.75%    5.50% 
    Rate of compensation increase  4.00%    4.00%    4.00% 

     

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

    Net Periodic Benefit Costs

    Net periodic benefit costs for the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan were as follows for the periods presented:

        Year Ended December 31,     
      2013    2012    2011   
    Interest cost  $ 3.8  $ 4.4  $ 5.0 
    Net (gain) loss recognition    (9.1)  3.4      16.0 
    Amortization of prior service cost (credit)    (1.2)  (1.2)       
    The effect of any curtailment or settlement            2.2 
    Net periodic (benefit) cost  $ (6.5)  $ 6.6  $ 23.2 

     

    Cash Flows

    In 2014, the employer is expected to contribute $6.1 to the SERPs and Agents Non-Qualified Plan. Future expected benefit
    payments related to the SERPs andAgents Non-Qualified Plan, for the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2018 and thereafter
    through 2023, are estimated to be $6.1, $5.3, $5.2, $5.3, $5.5 and $27.8, respectively.

    Share Based Compensation Plans

    Certain employees of the Company participate in the 2013 Omnibus Employee Incentive Plan ("the Omnibus Plan") sponsored
    by ING U.S., Inc., with respect to awards granted in 2013. Certain employees also participate in various ING Group share-based
    compensation plans with respect to awards granted prior to 2013. Upon closing of the IPO, certain awards granted by ING Group
    that, upon vesting, would have been issuable in the form ofAmerican Depository Receipts ("ADRs") of ING Group were converted
    into performance shares or restricted stock units ("RSUs") under the Omnibus Plan that upon vesting, will be issuable in ING
    U.S., Inc. common stock.

    The Company was allocated compensation expense from ING and ING U.S., Inc. of $17.0, $11.0 and $12.6 for the years ended
    December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

    The Company recognized tax benefits of $6.0, $3.9 and $4.4 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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

    • The ING U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

    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)

    • Certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees and their eligible dependents. The postretirement 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 U.S. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, which is a non-qualified defined benefit restoration pension plan.
    • The ING U.S. Deferred Compensation Savings Plan, which is a non-qualified 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, 2013, 2012 and 2011, were
    $11.3, $11.9 and $9.9, 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 as security for its repayment obligations with respect to the loan.

    At December 31, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013, 2012
    and 2011, rent expense for leases was $4.0, $4.9 and $5.0, 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

    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)

    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, 2013 and 2012, the Company had off-balance sheet commitments to purchase investments equal to their fair
    value of $466.8 and $314.9, respectively.

    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 the dates indicated:

        December 31,     
      2013      2012   
    Other fixed maturities-state deposits  $ 13.1  $ 13.4 
    Securities pledged(1)    140.1      219.7 
    Total restricted assets  $ 153.2  $ 233.1 

     

    (1) Includes the fair value of loaned securities of $97.6 and $180.2 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is included in Securities pledged on the
    Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company delivered securities as collateral of $42.5 and $39.5, respectively,
    which was included in Securities pledged on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    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 requirements
    and past experience demonstrates that the monetary and other relief that may be requested in a lawsuit or claim often 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.

    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 and additional escheatment of funds deemed
    abandoned under state laws. 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.

    The outcome of a litigation or regulatory matter and the amount or range of potential loss is difficult to forecast and estimating

    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.

    C-68



    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)

    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. This paragraph contains an estimate of reasonably possible losses above any amounts accrued. 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 matters 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,
    2013, 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. The Company 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), in which two sponsors
    of 401(k) Plans governed by the Employee Retirement Income Act ("ERISA") claim that ILIAC has entered into revenue sharing
    agreements with mutual funds and others in violation of the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA. Among other things, the
    plaintiffs seek disgorgement of all revenue sharing payments and profits earned in connection with such payments, an injunction
    barring the practice of revenue sharing and attorney fees. On September 26, 2012, the district court certified the case as a class
    action in which the named plaintiffs represent approximately 15,000 similarly situated plan sponsors. ILIAC denies the allegations
    and is vigorously defending this litigation. The Court conducted a bench trial of the liability issues, which concluded on October
    3, 2013, and the Court has taken the matter under advisement.

    Reinsurance Agreement

    Effective January 1, 2014, ILIAC entered into a coinsurance agreement with Langhorne I, LLC, a newly formed affiliated captive
    reinsurance company to manage reserve and capital requirements in connection with a portion of our Stabilizer and Managed
    Custody Guarantee business.

    Effective, December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an automatic reinsurance agreement with its affiliate, SLDI to manage
    the reserve and capital requirements in connection with a portion of its deferred annuities business. Under the terms of the
    agreement, the Company will reinsure to SLDI, on an indemnity reinsurance basis, a quota share of its liabilities on the certain
    contracts. The quota share percentage with respect to the contracts that are delivered or issued for delivery in the State of New
    York will be 90% and the quota share percentage with respect to the contracts that are delivered or issued for delivery outside of
    the State of New York will be 100%. This agreement is accounted for under the deposit method of accounting and had an immaterial
    impact to the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

    Investment Advisory and Other Fees

    Effective January 1, 2007, ILIAC's investment advisory agreement to serve as investment advisor to certain variable funds offered
    in Company products (collectively, the "Company Funds"), was assigned to DSL. ILIAC is also compensated by the separate
    accounts for bearing mortality and expense risks pertaining to variable life and annuity contracts. Under the insurance and annuity
    contracts, the separate accounts pay ILIAC daily fees that, on an annual basis are, depending on the product, up to 3.4% of their
    average daily net assets. The total amount of compensation and fees received by the Company from the Company Funds and
    separate accounts totaled $152.4, $135.0 and $103.2 (excludes fees paid to ING Investment Management Co.) in 2013, 2012 and
    2011, respectively.

    DSL has been retained by IIT, an affiliate, pursuant to a management agreement to provide advisory, management, administrative
    and other services to IIT. Under the management agreement, DSL provides or arranges for the provision of all services necessary

    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. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and
    2011, interest on any Company borrowing was charged at the rate of ING U.S., Inc.'s cost of funds for the interest period, plus
    0.15%. During the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, interest on any ING U.S., Inc. borrowing was charged at a
    rate based on the prevailing interest rate of U.S. commercial paper available for purchase with a similar duration. Effective January
    2014, interest on any borrowing by either the Company or ING U.S., Inc. is charged at a rate based on the prevailing market rate
    for similar third-party borrowings or securities.

    Under this agreement, the Company did not incur any interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
    The Company earned interest income of $0.0, $0.5 and $1.3 for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011,
    respectively. Interest expense and income are included in Interest expense and Net investment income, respectively, on the

    Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

    Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company did not have any outstanding receivable
    with ING U.S., Inc. under the reciprocal loan agreement.

    During the second quarter of 2012, ING U.S., Inc. repaid the then outstanding receivable due under the reciprocal loan agreement
    from the proceeds of its $5.0 billion Senior Unsecured Credit Facility which was entered into on April 20, 2012. The Company
    and ING U.S., Inc. continue to maintain the reciprocal loan agreement, and future borrowings by either party will be subject to
    the reciprocal loan terms summarized above.

    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 the years
    ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

    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 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.

    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
    "TerminationAgreement"). 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 continued to own 20%
    of the Alt-A RMBS and had the right to sell these securities, subject to a right of first refusal granted to ING Bank. Effective March
    14, 2014, the right of first refusal granted to ING Bank was terminated and the Company may freely dispose of these securities.

    Item 26.  Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Depositor or Registrant 
      Incorporated herein by reference to Item 26 in Post-Effective Amendment No. 46 to Registration 
      Statement on Form N-4 for Variable Annuity Account B of ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company 
      (File No. 033-75996), as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2014. 
     
    Item 27.  Number of Contract Owners 
      As of February 28, 2014, there are 0 qualified contract owners and 0 non-qualified contract owners. 

     



    Item 28.  Indemnification 
      Section 33-779 of the Connecticut General Statutes (“CGS”) provides that a corporation may provide 
      indemnification of or advance expenses to a director, officer, employee or agent only as permitted by 
      Sections 33-770 to 33-778, inclusive, of the CGS. Reference is hereby made to Section 33-771(e) of the 
      CGS regarding indemnification of directors and Section 33-776(d) of CGS regarding indemnification of 
      officers, employees and agents of Connecticut corporations. These statutes provide in general that 
      Connecticut corporations incorporated prior to January 1, 1997 shall, except to the extent that their 
      certificate of incorporation expressly provides otherwise, indemnify their directors, officers, employees 
      and agents against “liability” (defined as the obligation to pay a judgment, settlement, penalty, fine, 
      including an excise tax assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, or reasonable expenses 
      incurred with respect to a proceeding) when (1) a determination is made pursuant to Section 33-775 that 
      the party seeking indemnification has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 33-771 or (2) a 
      court has determined that indemnification is appropriate pursuant to Section 33-774. Under Section 33- 
      775, the determination of and the authorization for indemnification are made (a) by two or more 
      disinterested directors, as defined in Section 33-770(2); (b) by special legal counsel; (c) by the 
      shareholders; or (d) in the case of indemnification of an officer, agent or employee of the corporation, by 
      the general counsel of the corporation or such other officer(s) as the board of directors may specify. 
      Also Section 33-772 with Section 33-776 provide that a corporation shall indemnify an individual who 
      was wholly successful on the merits or otherwise against reasonable expenses incurred by him in 
      connection with a proceeding to which he was a party because he is or was a director, officer, employee, 
      or agent of the corporation. Pursuant to Section 33-771(d), in the case of a proceeding by or in the right 
      of the corporation or with respect to conduct for which the director, officer, agent or employee was 
      adjudged liable on the basis that he received a financial benefit to which he was not entitled, 
      indemnification is limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the proceeding against the 
      corporation to which the individual was named a party. 
     
      A corporation may procure indemnification insurance on behalf of an individual who is or was a director 
      of the corporation. Consistent with the laws of the State of Connecticut, Voya Financial, Inc. maintains 
      Professional Liability and fidelity bond insurance policies issued by an international insurer. The 
      policies cover Voya Financial, Inc. and any company in which Voya Financial, Inc. has a controlling 
      financial interest of 50% or more. These policies include the principal underwriter, as well as, the 
      depositor and any/all assets under the care, custody and control of Voya Financial, Inc. and/or its 
      subsidiaries. The policies provide for the following types of coverage: errors and omissions/professional 
      liability, employment practices liability and fidelity/crime (a.k.a. “Financial Institutional Bond”).

      maintained by ING Life Insurance and Annuity Company at One Orange Way, Windsor, CT 06095-4774 
      and ING North America Insurance Corporation at 5780 Powers Ferry Road, Atlanta, GA 30327-4390 and

    Item 31.  Management Services 
      Not Applicable. 
     
    Item 32.  Undertakings 
      Registrant hereby undertakes: 
      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; 
      to include as part of any application to purchase a contract offered by a prospectus which is part of 
      this registration statement on Form N-4, a space that an applicant can check to request a Statement 
      of Additional Information or a post card or similar written communication affixed to or included 
      in the Prospectus that the applicant can remove to send for a Statement of Additional Information; 
      and 
      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. 

     

                                                                           REPRESENTATIONS

    The account meets the definition of a “separate account” under federal securities law.

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

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

    The Depositor and Registrant rely on SEC regulation.
